DuHng”tlie same ■ manth of the two previous years we had similar exhibitions it is true, but upop a fftalo of less vastness and luugniiiccnilW, Indeed, since Afbuiral Krusenstern’s “fire ball” as described in llis “Voyage,” and the tremendous meteor of 1676, which appeared in Gesmany and passed oyer Italy from tho dlrA tioni of Biumalto. disappearing tawaril Corsica, aud exploding in m ain of fiery stones, and mighty fragments like .tho ruins of a demolished world, in the sea near Leghorn, it is not improbable that few meteors have been seen so large, brilliant and enduring as that which burst from the hem tus in tho northeast on Saturday morning at about one o’clock. is .-.oiui-tlniic co mvsti'rions ami solemn in the appearance of these heavenly heralds, and their lieanty is so strange and startling, that they carry tho mind of tho ordi, nary observer captive, and prevent himfor the most part, from ttikirr such pote of their showings as wopkl hp usefm to soionoo. M e had the pleasure c,' seeing the radiant meteor wo speak of from the commencement of its appearanco toils final vanishment. weiiai<l,*ft bi.dit from tlte northeastern heavens in the form of a . sphere; and of the apparent sire of the moon, if not larger. A mighty globe of golden fire, it tore through the blue immensity with a speed that would have been appalling, if, in describing its course, it had not left a dazzling and most beautiful track of light, which became more and more intense, up to a certain point, as it proceeded, and finally burst into balls of crimson, purple, green and amber. For such an evanescent body, its light and -color lasted for a notable length of time aud even when the blue void hud swallowed up its glory, there lay behind it a bright, dense, silver smolte all along tho line of its transit. We watched thia wonderful trail for more than half an hour. -At first it seemed immovable; then it aksnmed thofonn of some vast apocalyptical serpent, anti lay prone over half the starry .region, in whoSe profound recesses the meteor itself had disappeared. Slowly it shifted its position, and described an undulating lino •of great bounty, which v.’ns heightened by tho starlight that shone through its dim, white aud misty folds. In the course of a quarter of an hour it had agonized into a perfect figure. of eight, and finally it assumed a welldefined letter S, which it retained for ten minutes longer, and then, gathering its outlines together, it crushed them into a formless mass,.and. in forty minutes had vanished from tho field of vision. But, while this splendid symbolism and its transformations were going on, all the wombs of that fiStyeps whetmo they proceeded were giving birin—in cries' which were the most brilliant colors—to many more of these beautiful objects.

"Within whose sunny veins Tho blood was tunning bright." And look when we would and where we would in tho right direction, they flashed before us like the couriers of some mysterious sublime army. On they came from the deserts of Leo awj the regions of Taurus and Gemini, flying toward the southeast, and vanishing in those immensities; while others ex ploded overbend, crossing each other iu)d describing grand arches of liglit, qntil at limes the zenith looked as if rainbows hud burst over it. The display began as early ns 9 o'clock,aud bet weeu 1 and fi the'next morning was tho greatest period of their processions and flying glories. The general appeared to be at an angle of about 15 degrees above tho horizon. gradually rising toward the zenith, until al dawn it was nearly overhead. Wo witnessed the moveiuente of at least thirty meteors in tlio space of rather more than half an hour. There wasa bright northern light like n wall of nebiihe against the horizon, and about a quarter past 12 a glo-riously-colored, meteor sped along its Rights in a .line duo south; about 10 deg., perhaps not quite so much, above tho horizon. Those who beheld this wondrous astronomical show from au eminence, describe it as glorious beyond word* Ao picture it; as rs the gods had turned out on a holiday, and were .unusing themselves with, u vest ami gigantic scheme of pyrotechnics. Of course the Beene, being upon so extensive a plqtfcirtn, wns beheld aft over the States, and at Boston 3.s(H)'.meteors were counted between 2 and 5 o’clock.—A*. K. Sun,

Our old friend William , Goodwin this 1 dAy leavnuNew Haven on a Western tour 1 tor tho purpose, hu tells us, of visiting u ' young lady whojn ho has not seen for 20 years or more. As the story relative to Father Aioo.dwip and the young lady alluded to m sotfK'What of it novel and interesting character, we will give, as near as wp can recollect, what Was told ns by the venerable gentleman hiipself. Perhaps! readers ptay remember, ladies iii uArliqntor), 4iit in tire myith Of January,’lßfß, as a dattgh’fet orMr. Goodwin was passing through Church street on one bitter cold evenMig, she heard (ho cries of u child iu distress. On looking, ardqnd she found they' proceeded from an ante-room of the (then) Rev. Dr. Strongs (now St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church), ■ On making this discovery she picked up the child from tho floor/ wrapped it in her shawl and without further dolny took it to the home of her parrents. On entering with her precious charge the old folks were astonished to find an increase so suddenly in their family. _ However, after they ■- had fully realized the condition of things, the benevolent Mrs. Goodwin, who had been the mother of a large la nily, took the little innocent in herarmgkuidiininodiatelv began to' take off the dirty clothes in which it was wrapped. In a short time after the foundling was stripped, well washed, clean clothes put on it, aud after partaking of a good snppbr of heW milk from a bottle, it was put. to bed, and there soundly slept-till moTniilg. For many weeks Mrs, Goodwin took care of her liltle’cliarge. During this timo tho child grew to be quite a beauty—so much so that all who saw her pronounced het

such. ’Some .would have adopted her hail not Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin neeOtae so attached tho child that they had made up ; their minds to adopt her themselves, nolwithstaudiuq4hqJiy j>*> family thpy had of theiripwn. llnt hoinetimes ’’cirCnthstiuices alter eases,” as they did in this instance.

It happened, after six months had passed away, a respectable lady from Ohio, who had no child of her own, visiting thft eity, applied to Mrs. Goodwin for the fonndling. Oh lier promising to luliil.to the letterthe requirements made by Mr. and Mrs Goodwin, they very reluctantly gave it to her. A few days afterward the child was conveyed to th<? home of her adopted J areiits. Now for the sequel After a lapse of twenty years or moro, a few weeks since a letter came through the Post Office from the identical foundling herself, written in a neat band and couched in grateful and beautiful language • It com--mepced by addressing Mr. Goodwin as her “unknown friend.” and after relating many things relative to her kind adopted jiarents, regarding the way they had brought her up, she states that it was only two days prior tq her writing the letter that her parents informed her who she was. where she was born, and who was her friend and benefactor that had kept her from the cold charities of this world, and the . many dangers by'WhieTrsbevias surrounded when an infant and perfectly helpless, ftc. '• After thanking him for his fnrtherly protection. she closed her letter by remarking, “Oh, if I eouldouly see you. my dear, dear friend, to talk with you ou matters I dare uot write on paper, how happy it would make me. ’ lu closing, we would say that in order to gratify the wishes and make happy the young lady by his presence, Mr. Goodwin this day “goes on his way rejoicing “to carry out the benevolent and laudable mission i eferred to above. r

Russian Social Manners.

The following highly colo ed picture of Russian social life is from an English paper. There is probably a grain of truth in it. but Americans will hardly credit the account as it reads: Perhaps the worst characteristic of Russian society, when it does qpt care to put on holiday foreign manners, is its extreme coarseness. Every one is rude and loud. AU the company who have anything to say talk together at tho top of their voices. No one listens. They contradict each other flatly: they are abusive: they quarrel; they make it up over the tea-tabft. They absolutely juke constitutional exercise in talking, and the department is so violent that they often appear like people possessed. This probably arises from their extreme aversion to all other physical Lxertion, many ot them living to au old age without ever having got on horseback, or taken a healthy walk They possess no scuse of jaiutfy ami soenr to have a contempt for the beauties of nature, despising tho pleasures of country life. They have no love of sport. ' .Shooting, fishing, huntingr racing, are almost unknown among them, aud there is uot a single yacht in the Black Sea, where it is summer off the coast all the year round. The houses, when most splendid, are but decorated with gilding aud looking-glasses. They rarely boost a statute, or a llower. Their reckless expenditure and unthrift are equal to their covetousness. Nowhere is dress so costly, or so soon spoiled. A bovqrd wiU give 1,800 guineas fora black ox cloak-lining, and when he takes it off in the ante-chumber Of the. baU-rooni. his footman will roll himself up in it till ordered to give it back again. The costly Indies’ dresses made iu Taris go to Russia; but a young Muscovite belle will think nothing of getting into a narrow open drosky and rushing about with her train spread over the wheels through the winter sledge till it is spoilt. There is a British belief that Russian dinners are of delicious fare, and made gay by fruits ami pretty flowers. Nothing of the kind. .The viands are coarsq aud illassorted; the cookery is abominable. Raw fish, raw ham, mushrooms in oil, strong cheese, feriuente(t cabbage, eaten with sour cream, boiled corn, boiled sucking* pig. small beer, soup, with cold fish, saltcucjjjubcrs, Ki) and fennel in it, this, with baked fowls, is the staple food among opulent gentry; and it is washed down with raw spirits and a beverage called quaes, moro nauseous thanuuy known in the west.

A Desperate Encounter— Weasel vs. Copperhead.—The following singular occurrence is narrated by au eye witness as having transpired sonic time hist summer on tho farm of Mr. Wm. 11. BibbiusinFair-, field. The narrator was.spreading hay in a field, whenliis attention was attracted to a chimp of tall grass at some little distance, from which a weasel was constantly springing up into th? air. Approaching cautiously nearer he discovered the -daiwo of thia singular cuuduet. On a little mounclof hav a .’urge copperhtipl snake at lejst three feet long was coiled up, and with head erect, darting tongue aiid-tfiposed fangs, was wahdiing -the weasel, Who 'as waking a series of springs at the reptile, evidently with the intention of seizing it by tho throat. Tho snake dodged irnd tho weasel continued his attack till at length

by ti sndden spring he caught the snake by the throat, mid a furipus struggle ensued. The weasel held on, and tho snake wound himself about the body of the animal, almost eftUroly covering it, end seemed about "to criisliwt to death, when his wcaselship let ge-li.s Itoldon the snako's throat, and “pupped" iintrue weasel styloout of the convoluted embrace of his enernv, spring? ing atlmist'ttedTeet intotiieiur. The mkn then crawled under the mound of iiay, ahd . in it few moments tho weasel re appeared and crawled after him, and from the basing nfthohaya desperate fight seemed to be going on beneath it. It ceased in a short time, and the weasel came ont dragging the snake lifter him, dead with his throat bitton open. The weasel dragged tho snake into n neighboring fence, and, there they both disappeared.".; —Gen. jsferfdan teiln some tall buffalo •torie <■ He Says he saw,- two weeks apo, a [ herd of btiffala ninety-five miles longAwenty- | five miles wide, and which mart _fr»va cop-

But if the state may demand that the,ti(izens be educated, and must provide the means. it follows tlmt it has the right also to insist tlmt, these means or their equivalent be used. Michigan Teacher, Oct., 1867. IL—THE ABGVM£KT .AG-IRTST COMPULSOBY EDUCATION. * 1. It is an arbitrary interference with par rental authority. The State may enter the h ousel told to protect the child from starvation, nakedness and cruelty, but must notinterpose to prevent his growing up in ignorance. Of tho necessities of his soul tho parent alone is entitled to judge, 2. It is incompatible with tho gonins of free institutions. “I must Bbsorve,” says Guizot, in his Memoirs, “that it is almost exclusively confined to nations hitherto exacting little on tho question of liberty, and that it has originated with those with whom, through the Reformation of the sixtoenjh cehtury; thqyivil power iB also in matters of religion, or touching upon religious subjects, the soverign authority. The proud susceptibjlitios of-frae-paoptee-,-end-tiro strong mutual iudependonce of temporal or spiritual power would accommodate thcmselveiTKdly to this eoercivc action of tho State on the domestic economy of families; wlwn not sanctioned by tradition the laws would fail to introduce it, for either tney would be confined lo an empty command, or to compel obedience they ■would have recourse to proscriptions and inquisitorial searches, hateful to attempt and almost, iniposuiblo to execute, especiallv in a great country.” 3. If tho true theory of government is that which vests all power in the people—makes tho people the State—then the people can onlv delegate to offices chosen by them those ■powers which cannot he conveniently exercised by themselves as individuals. No American State has a right to usurp power respecting education whicli eon be cfti. ionrly used in tw bauds of the people. The best policy in a Republic is for the Government to encourage tho people, to do their own work as individuals and asconimuiiiti. s. Its functions sue more to adjust aud regulate. (Nick. Lib. Econ., 376.4. That cannot bo considered a right svstem of education which provides a great educational milHnto whosF hopper all children are thrown, and, when each has been subjected to the same grinding process, hands them back again to society. Al the beet. State schools can only educate the head, their machinery, is much too clumsy to reach the heart. (Ibid, 395). 5. Wise words are spoken by the Hon. victor N. Riece, late State Superintendent of New York, in a special report to the Assembly of 1887: “I doubt tho expediency of compelling parents and guardians to send their children and wards <4 a proper schootftgeTd" the public schools, or to provide education for tnem at homo or at private schools, nntir the persuasive power of good teaching, cemmodtous anicpiufurtahte cuool Iwusea, awl free schools shall have been fried in vain.” And again, in a remark that will apply to Others Ilian the Empire State : “It would be 'unpardonable cruelty to niake attendance at school compulsory, when we have no better accommodations tp offer the children.” (i’p. 44, 4(>.) 6. (Ating these remarks, the editor of tl.s American Educational Monthly (June, 1868) adds, in terms too pertinent and well stated to enable me to forbear making this final quotation: “There is another and deeper reason for the popular indifference toward the schools—a deeper cause for doubt of tho propriety of making attendance at them compulsory (even wore more suitable accommodations'provided) than Mr. Bice has mentioned. So tong a» nine persons ont of ten can say as they do now, that not half of what they studied in school was worth the timo thev spent upon it: that nearly all tiie useful knowledge, mental discipline or cnltute that they have ever received Las been obtained outside of the school-room—just so long will it be inipossible to make them, feel that a law comi- lliiig the constant at tendance of their ohildreU to tlra aama uuproiita-' bio routine, is anything short of trianuy. Let tho schools provide instruction that is demonstrably worth the time and labor, and nMJuevqirico demanded for it—a training .that will show itself by its fruits to be indispensable in the competition of life—and we will question whether there will long Ixs •ccasion for complaiuta of popular UHliffercnee to the claims of’tbo schools, or need ot legislation to compel attendanee upon them.”

— . A New Book bv M. Thiers.—.A Paris letter. in the Fnwice Centiule, says: “Great curiosity is felt as to a hut M Thiers is engaged Upon at this moment. During the last five or six mouths the illustrious statesman has pnrcliased more than a hundred and fifty volumes bu nntunil history; the latest works, the most recent ducove.ri?s, all the progress of science is tho vnbjffiA of his profound studies." The Gazette do France, on the above remarks, says: “The curiosity thus ’expressed can be easily satisfied. I'or many y< .irs past M, Thiers has been occupied in writing an im? portant bool,, in five or six volumes, on religion, philosophy, general history, arts and sciences. The first portion is now ooiirpletcd; the few amongst the fri nds of the author'hho have. read, some pages, n-n----"dftr to the ardor of the profession of faith set forth in the work.”

An ExTHAoaruNAitY Phenomenon.—The Cronntadt journals mention nn extraordinary sntisidcneti of the wutirsof the llnltic in that locality. It bv.yin in the evening, the wind being from tln> S\V. mid rather fresh. At 10 at night the level ot tlw sea was a foot lower thou- ordinary,, and continued Mil! to sink. The following morning at 0 it was two feet below ita normal point, tho wind having veen d round to NE., and at 2 in the afternoon.the greatest depression was arrived at, namely, three feet two inches. The water then began to mount rapidly, and during the night exceeded Its ordinary level by s foot: Nearly all the ateamers plying lietwOen Croastadt and St. Petersburg were aground, a eircnmetance almost unprecedented.
