And they were treated to sermons characterized by their peculiar excellence. Tfcere were several of our most Intelligent white cltl seas present among whom we noticed Judge Warnock, Supt. A. C.

Ilia address to the Sunday achool at S o'clock p.m., was one of the most practl cal, sententious and unique, to which It has been our privilege ever to listen. The impressions made upon the mind and heart of his youthful hearers will never be totally ef faced, and though some may, , like the swine, tread the pearls that fell from his llpa, under their feet, yet many will treasure them rarest gems, with which to adorn their future lives. And when the head or him who such gifts did bestow, shall be silvered over with the fronts of many winters, or shall be wearing the crown of Immortality, the many shall Mrise up and call him blessed."

AN ALPINE ADYEN TÜRE.

The Fortunate Escape of Some Amateur Climbers. The Vienna correspondent of the London News gives an interesting account of the ad ventures of four persons who endeavored to climb the Rax-Alp in a snow storm on Sun day, April 9, and were believed to be lost during four days. They were two brothers Friedrich, the bride of the younger brother, and a friend named Novak. The correspond en t says: After four hours' tedious march In the snow ttey leached a small ciountfin iun, whun they Intended toir-i:)g until the weather should clear up. But Vciy tsuou 6rue touribts came in and tuld of a forge party who were climbing upward, and were now oil their way to iho "üaibloch;" a deep fissure on tbe mountain fide, iu which more thaa oue careless Viennese has found an untimely death, it being the fashion to climb this mountain without a guide. The f;.ur younj; people hoped to fiud their way by following iu the steps of those who had goue before. After neve m1 hours' difficult walking they reached the neighborhood of the fit-sure, and found that it would be utterly impossible to advance without the help of a guide. It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon by this time, and the paitt boped to get a& far as tbe Karl Ludwig houte cf bhelter, where they could have spent the night. Novak, who was the nimbk-st, jumped across the gap, and called to them tha. they should not attempt to follow him at that place, the gap being too wide fT the girl to pass. He c mtinaed to speak, telling them l j Ü:d home track to advance upon, hut a denpe fog tcttlcd upon the mountain at this moment. a:.d alter a very few minutes they could neither -to nor hear each otiier. the three imagined Novak must have slipped and fallen lut- the abyss, and they attemp.ed to descend to look for him. But after about au houc's climbing over s..o ar.d lea they taw that they hai reached the oth :r tide of th tissue by a loug detour. The fog prevented tDt-m from eoeii g more than square of three ft et at a time, a it the now mil formly covered the ground at their tuet. Creeping ul-n.g with hands and feet, they made t-low profires.-t upward, and late on Sunday eveniu they re ich d a shepherd's bui, ih-i door of which whs locked the men burst it open, aud ail three strrtched themselves upon the airaw to rest from ibeir fatiguing journey.

How to Get A Silver Watch. London Telegraph. As an amusing specimen of cool impu dence the following extract from a letter recently addressed to a French Deputy by one of his constituents will be read with iuteret: "M. le Depute, 1 have the honor to in form you that I should very much like to have a souvenir of your noble and benevolent person. This souvenir should consist of a strong silver watch, of which I am much in need, and 1 should be proud to snow it to our political adversaries as a proof that you donjl forget your friends.

The best of the joke is that the Deuuty in question really sent the watch and the photograph to his mndest elector.

I Ex-Governor Rice in a forthcoming memorial volunie.l While officially resident in Washington during the late War I once had occasion to call up n President Lincoln with the late Senator Ilenrv Wilson, upon an errand of a public nature upon which we were mutu ally interested. In the reco nized order of precedent a member of the House oi repre sentatives, as I then was, could not in times of pressure for audience with the President gain admittance so long as there were Cabinet Ministers, members ot the Diplomatic Corps, Senators or Jus tices of the Supreme Court desiring audience with him. and all civilians mtut wait their Dportunity alter memoers oi uongress cna officers of the Army end Navy and the civil service and others had had their turns re spective! v. Having a joint errand with senator Wilson, I could avail of his privi lege of earlier admission: but we were obliged to wait some time in ths ante-room otiore we uouiu ue receiveu, una wuni ut length the door was opened to us, a small U I I I lad, perhaps ten or twelve years old, who had been waiting for admission several days without succe&s, supped in between us and approached the President m advance. The latter gave the fcenator and niyselt a cordial but brief salutation, and turning immedi ately to the lad, said, "And who is the little boy if During their conference the benator and myself were apparently forgotten. The boy soon told tin story, which was in sub stance that he bad come to Washington seeking employment a a page in the House of Representatives, and lie wished the 1 tpm dent to give him such an appointment, lo this the President replied that such appointments were not at his disposal, and that ap plication must be made to the Doorkeeper of the House at the Ca pitol. "But, sir. said the lad, still undaunted. "I am a good boy, and have a letter from my mother, and one from the Supervisors of my town, and one from my Sunday-school teacher, and thev all told me that I could earn enough in one session of Congress to keep my mother and the rest of us comfort able all the remainder of the year." The President took the lad's papers and ran his eye over them with that ienetraiing and ab sorbent look so familiar to all who knew him, and then took his pen and wrote upon the back of one of them: "If Captain uoodnow can give a place-to this good little boy I shall be gratiifed," and signed it "A. Linnin 0 The boy's face became radient with hope, and he walked out of the room with a ter as though all the angels were whispering their congratulations. Only after the lad had gone did the Presi-

dent seetn to realize that a Senator and an

other person had been waiting some time to see him. 1 hink for a moment of the President of great Nation, and that Nation engaged In one of the most terrible Wars ever waged arnonc men, himself worn down with anxi ety and labor, subjected to the alternations of success and defeat, racked by complaints ot the envious, the disloyal and unreasona b!e pressed to the decision of grave ques tions of public policv, and encumbered by the numberless and nameless incidents of civil and martial responsibility, yet able so far to forget them all as to give himself up for the time being to the errand of a little boy who had braved an interview uninvited, and of whom he kneff nothing, but teat he Lad a story to tell of his widowed mother, and of his ambition to serve her! Living on Blount iEtna. London Builder. J Hitherto the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard, which stands 8,200 feet above the level of the sea, has enjoyed the distinction of bein" the most elevated inhabited build ing in Europe. This honor it can now no longer claim. During the past year the city authorities of Catania, in Sicily, have caused to be erected near the summit of the great volcano, Mount .Etna, an astronomical observa tory which stands 2,943 meters above the sea level, or fully 1,000 feet hfgher than the Hospice of St. 1'ernard. The structure is nine meters in height, and covers an area of 200 square meters. It consists of an upper and a lower story, and is built in a circular form. In the lower story there rises a mas sive pillar, upon winch is placed the great refracting telescope. The Jowcr story is divided into 3 lining room, kitchen and store rooms. In the upper story there are three bed-rooms, intended for the ac-cc-nunoaaiion ot astronomers and tourists visiting the establishment. Tue roof consists of a moveable cupola or l.me.

Purdshment for Mrong.Poen That Al waj s Did, and AI ajn Will, Kxidt. ProvUejce (R. I.) Journal. Pillories will repay study. They have always existed in some form, and must Con tinus virtually to exist in a world where righteousness confronts wrong-doing. Society may clmuge its forms of procedure aaiasr evil doers without undergoing any real change in its sentiments or aims. Motives and principles are not necessarily altered with new methods of action. Tbe evil may be attacked on another and more vulnerable side. As society grows and it is always and every where a growth, either good or bad its measures in dealing with evils, like tbe plans of an individual, are sub ject to modifications and controlled by cir cumstances. ieff methods are usually devel opments of old forces. Pillories and fetecks, whose patterns were brought from England by our ancestors, were set up in all the colonies and used, more or less, in all the principal towns of our laiid, till within the memory of persons now living. In the earlv part of the pres ent century a pillory might have been seen in Providence, standtnsr on the corner of North Main and South Court ftreets, nearly opposite the parade in front cf the State lioijcp (then the Court House as well.) Pillories and stocks and whipping at the carttail are still ppoktn of by "the oldest inhabitant." Thee means of punishment aiul shrine were found in Virginia and o'her Southern States as late as 18G2. The first pair -f stocks in Providence were con structed in 17U3, at a cost of U sterling. The pillory was only made modified form of stocks. The cart-tail whipping was only another form of branding and cropping. Owing partly to the paucity of prisons and the cost of their erection and maintainance, these public, p;iiiii!ivo . exhibition ot culprits 3emed necessary. Corporal punishment played a prominent part in the Puritan regime, und to expose transgressors to public gnze was really tßectiugin exciting disgust tor crime a-:d inducing moruhcatiou ilnot penitence for wrong doinr. Stocks were used in the days of Job (chapter xvii., 27) ani the Puritans were fond of Oid Testament ideas and laws. To be shamefully exposed to the V , , L JJS rful restraint, if not Iways a corrective of evil. And in the early colonial times, there beinj no newspapers or other modes of holding bad men up to public view in tne mirror ot type, the street or town corner had to serve as the advertisingcolumn. Public opinion must be condemned and exposed. Even Providence had no newspaper until the Providence Gazette and Country Journal was started by William Goddard in 16'2, and at first the little weekly fcheet was largely devoted to trade and foreign news, and had a very limi ted subscription list. The brat papers of our country were not devoted to the exhibition of rogue?. In tho?e days men could be elTVctively disgraced only by stocks, cat-o'-nine-tails and pillories. Id ah' Educational Facilities. When he had finisned with the climate, soil aiid prodncti. ns of Idaho, one of the group asked: "How abou: education facil ities? "lhat s the only thing we lack." replied the old man! with a mournful sign. "We've gt Ecbools enough, but we can't keep no teachers." "What s the trouble?" "Well, take my school, for instance only two miles from the nearest house, eminently situated on the top of a hill, and paying the highest salary. We can t keep a teacher over two weeks." "Do they die?" "Some do, though it's no place lor dying. We hai a young fellow from Ohio, and he tuet a griz zly and whistled for him. The griz zly cum. We had another, and a widder run him down and married htm inside of a month. The third one was lane, and the Iniuns overtook him. Then we tried women folks.

VENNOK'S PREDICTION. General Forecast of the Season 1883. fVennor's Weather Bulletin for May. Out of tbe thirteen lone-ranse and eeneral predictions which I have Eiveh foith and caused to be published. in the leading news papers of the day and in my yearly a manses. between the years 185 and 1882. on lv two have been seriously "out" or astrav with re spect to the gammer season. This statement s not an empty assert ion, but.on the contrary, one that is capable of proof. For the verifi cation ot these predictions does not lie in my own translation of them, but in each case has been gathered from the ulegraph reports of the day. and just as tbete have appeared in the daily journals in which the predictions were hrst published. Having said this much on by-gone forecasts, I desire now, briefly, to give a brief but comprehen sive outline of what, in my humble opin ion, are likely to be the most remarkable features of the summer and autumo of the year 1882: 1. - A season that will well merit the designation of cool or cold and wet, genererally. Not that there will not be terms of summer warmth, and even intense heat for periods, but rather that these last will apfear in tbe retrospect as of but comparative nsignificance, or as the exceptions to the general rule. 2. Tbe season will be marked by not only great precipitation, but by a mugginesssof at mosphere, generally, caused by the reeking condiiton af the earth and the long continuance ot clouded sky. This wdl result in periods of extreme sultriness and heavy weather, during which the thunder and hail storms will occur. In other words, the summer will be the reverse of clear and dry. 3. There is a likelihood of June and Au gust froöts in Northern, Western and Southern sections, and a general cold wave may occur toward midsummer. 4. The autumn months will continue moist. September will probably give rams and floods in Western Canada and in Western and Southern sections of the United States. October will be much the same, with early cold and snow-falls. November will begin the winter of 1882-83 a winter likely to be memorable on account of its exceptionably heavy snow-falls and very cold weather ovtr the whole Northern Hemisphere. That 'a cold and wet summer is invariably followed by a cold and stormy winter," is a truth now so well proven and borne out by the testimony of past records that we can not lightly put it aside, and if we have good and sumcint grounds for predicting the former as we most assuredly have at this time it is but right that we should warn the people of the latter in good season. Fifth and last The approaching season will probably be the first of a couple of wet lummers, and as 1882 is, so is 1883 likely to be. But here we must stop for the present flawBY G. VaHKoa. Charlotte Cuahiuan't Nerve. . The following anecdote illustrates Hie Cuibman's decision and nerve: At the National Theater, Boston, during the season o 1851 62, as she was playing Komeo to the Julie of MUß Anderton, in the midst of one of the most romantic passages between the l-vers, some penen in the house sneezed in such a manner as to attract the attention of the whole audience, and every one knew that the sneeze was artificial and derisive. Miss Cushman instantly stopped the dialogue, and led Mis Anderton off the stage, as a cavalier might lead a lady from the place where an insult had been offered her. She then returned to the footlights and said in a clear, firm voice. "Some man must put that person out, or I shall be obliged to do it mytelf." The fellow was taken away; the audience rose en masse and gave three cheers for Miss Cushman, who recalled her companion and proceeded with the play as f nothing had happened. f The French 8eaM u ped a bill mak in g education compulsory.
