RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

—The estimated receipts of the commonschool fund of Ohio for 1876 are $1,687,• 870.40. —There are now nearly 100,000 Baptists in the State of Georgia. The Ebenezer Association has over 11,000 members; the' Southwestern over 10,000. —The New England Journal of Education of Dec. 25 has a vigorous paper by President Porter, of Yale, criticising the methods of classical instruction and insisting that, instead of so much grammatical drill, the aim should be to enable (lie pupil to read within a reasonable time the Latin and Greek languages with ease ancl pleasure—an end not attained by the present methods of teaching in more than one case in a hundred. —The two Normal Schools established in Maine about twelve years ago have proved the superiority of this system over the teachers’ institutes, and the latter were abolished at the last session of the Legislature. These Normal Schools have furnished the State with 1,200 to 1,500 trained teachers, and a third school is now proposed in the western part of the State, the Trustees of the Brighton Academy offering to give it $20,000 in property and funds for that purpose. The Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church report that on Dec. 1 the receipts for the eight months of the year had been $104,970, against tlq sum of $134,294 during the same time the previous year. The receipts of the sustentaiion fund are $13,540, against $22,634 the previous years The debt oftlie Home Mission Board is SIOO,OOO. The General Assembly’s Committee on Freedmen report the receipts from April 1 to Dec. 1 as $20,155, against $18,258 last year. —The Presbyterian Ministerial Association of Philadelphia has passed a series of resolutions approving of the recommendation of the General Assembly that during the centennial year histories of all the churches be prepared by the pastors and read to the congregations, alter which they will,be transmitted to the Presbyterian Historical Society for preservation. The ministers declare that they will at once enter upon the duty of preparing these discourses. —Revivalist Hammond illustrates an argument with a horseshoe magnet and nails of various sizes, from a tack to a railroad spike. He likens the magnet to Jesus. The tack typifies little children, and he shows how readily they cling to the magnet. A simple touch, too, attaches the shingle nail, which he likens to a youth. The larger nails are less and less affected, until the big spike—a tough old sinner of the most intractable kind—will not stir under the influence. —On account of the recent death of young Mr. Winn, of Woburn, Mass., the SIOO,OOO left by his father tothe Unitarian denomination, to be appropriated to such objects as the Rev. Dr. A. P. Peabody and Edward E. Hale may determine, will soon be ready for use, and various plans are proposed for the appropriation of the money r Among these plans are the endowment of the Unitarian Bedew, the founding of a Professorship of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, the establishment of a book fund, the building of a Unitarian hall in Boston, the endowing of the Sunday-School Society, and the building of a suitable Unitarian church in the city of Washington. Between Dr. Peabody with his conservative wisdom, and Mr. Hale with his discursive enterprise and general enthusiasm, all the plans proposed will be likely to have a fair consideration, and there is surely no danger of the money lying long idle or being inexcess of the demand.— N. Y. Evening Poet.

VARIETY AND HUMOR.

—Attention is called to the fact that the chewing-gum privilege of the Centennial is not yet disposed of. —A Brooklyn express-wagon has this sign: “Orl k'ines of Hurling dun.” He might add: “In liog signo vinces.” —The Public Administrator of St. Louis has had charge of five estates during the past year for which duplicate wives were claimants. —A London doctor says that it will certainly give a young lady the spinal disease to wash dishes, and now go ahead on those worsted docs. —Did you ever see a small boy put his thumb into the'nose of a tea-kettle to stop the exit of steam? Did that small boy ever try that game a second time ? —The court-crier in New York gets up and calls for William M. Tweed, and His Honor smiles, the audience smile, the lawyers laugh, and the small boy titters “ Te-he-he isn’t here!” —The ladies of Richmond dealt out buttermilk to their New Year’s callers. And perhaps there are worse drinks than buttermilk. Though, to be sure, they are very scarce.— Rochester Union. —lt is stated that the St. Louis bridge won’t pay any interest for thirty years to come. When the Chicago Christian hears of this he will lay down in the straw and roll. for j[oy. —Brooklyn Argun. —A convict in the Massachusetts State Prison says if the Governor will pardon him out he will do as much for His Excellency some time. The Governor had better do it. One can’t tell what strange things may happen in a decade. A —A discreet old bear near Duncan’s Mills, Cal., has profited by the mishap of having lost one of his toes in a steel trap, and now habitually draws the traps a short distance away by their ropes and devours in'l safety the bait which is placed beneath them. —The other day when a Detroit mother took down the rpd of correction and ordered her son to stand out there, she remarked : “I don’t know what ails you; you are not like the rest of my children.” “I know it, mother,” he fearfully answered, " and I wish you would give them ail the lickings ana give me all the sugar!” Bhe divided the lickiiigs up, however.— Detroit Free Press. —A rosy-cheeked, six-year-old Mercury yesterday walked solemnly into the anteroom of the Mayor’s office and set the doorkeepers into a roar of laughter by asking, with bashful earnestness: ’ ‘ Please, can two persons be married?” “ Are you one of the parties?” asked the officer, smiling. “ No, sir, please,” was the reply, “ but uiy boss sent me.” “Who is your boss?” “I don’t know, sir; but they be French persons who w ish, by the Mayor, to be married on Saturday; and, please, can they lie married when they he French?” The little fellow was assured that being French was not considered a bar to upuriage by the Mayor, and he w ent away with a satisfied air.—Atw York Tribune. —There is a oase in point here of a meteorologicalljr4nclißed postman of Hartford, who fixes hts idea of the day’s coldiby a parflcnlar thermometer that lie visits every morning in the line of his dfi-

hes. Pitying hir*> the owner of the thermometer regularly on cold days warms up the bulb just as the messenger arrives in sight, and the satisfied wayfarer hasn’t been really cold yet a single morning. His eyes prove to him that it would be foolish to feel a condition that does not exist, so he doesn’t feel it. And a defective thermometer lias been known to keep a family cold all winter, to cause several extra tons of coai to be burned, and to lead to a rupture with the agent of “ tine best furnace in the world.— Hartford (Conn.) Courant. —Philip Gilbert Hamerton never told a more beautiful story than the following: “A dog was bereaved of his master; and became old and blind, passing the dark evenings of his existence sadly in some corner, which he hardly ever quitted. One day came a step like that of his lost master, and he suddenly left his place. The man who had jqst. entered wore ribbed stockings, as did the lost master. The old dog had lost his scent, and referred at once to the stockings that he remembered rubbing his face against. Believing his master had returned alter those weary years of absence he gave way to the most extravagant delight. The man spoke. The momentary illusion was dispelled; the dog went sadly back to his place, lay down wearily and died.” —A young and pretty woman who was a passenger over the train from the East yesterday morning had her attention attracted to some pictorial papers which one of the newsboys was vending at the depot, and inquired the price. “ Ten cents apiece.” “ I would like to have one only I haven’t any change with me.” “ Then you don’t get ’em,” classically remarked the dealer in literature. The woman hesitated a moment and then intimated that she would kiss the newsboy if he would give her the paper. Kissing was goodies that he had never hoped for under such circumstances, and he intimated his willingness to accept the proposal, scarcely thinking she was in earnest; but kiss him she did, right out on the depot platform," 1 and then possessing herself of the paper she entered a car, leaving the newsboy blushing, grinning, and yet looking worried, as if he felt a streak of electricity running down his batik.—Utica Herald.

A remarkable case of restoration- of speech lias recently occurred.’ Some time ago a little son of Mr. Daniel J. Farr, who lives at No. 6 Lafayette street, lost his voice, and was unable to speak above a whisper. The parents were greatly distressed on account of it, for he was a bright little fellow, and they consulted many physicians, but they told them that the vocal organs were paralyzed and that he would never be able to speak aloud. A few days ago the boy went out to skate, and as he arrived at the ice he saw some of his playmates. Without thinking he attempted to shout to them, and to his great surprise he uttered a loud “ halloo.” He at once started on the run for home and shouted: “Mother, I can spfeak, I can speak.” The mother was at first much startled, hut itdien she found that her boy had really regained the use of his voice her deliglit may be better imagined than described. —Portland {Me.) Argus. —The Bennington (Vt.) Banner has this amusing story: “ The family of one of our industrious citizens was rather earlier astir than the circumstances would require one night last week. When the clock was wound up, at nine o’clock in the evening, the spring was tightened too much, and the time-piece stopped about an hour later, when the family had all retired. Friend C.’s mind was unusually full of thoughts on the morrow’s business, and so the light of the moon, as its pale rays came through the thin clouds without showing her fair face, induced him to ■Shout to the hired man to arise and kindle the fire, thinking it was near day. The lire was soon burning briskly; the family all astir; breakfast soon on the table; the repast over, all began to wonder why more light did not come over the face of the earth. The wonder and astonishment continued unabateU for an hour or more longer, and behold ’twas darker than ever. The night being extremely cold, no one;cared to go and arouse a neighbor to ascertain the time, but finally the * host’ thought it advisable to do so. Neighbor——was soou made to answer the summons, and responded to the interrogative by saying: ‘ Why, sir, it is only a little past midnight.’ Friend C. marched hack to the -house, and his family soon were in the ‘ arms ol Morpheus’ again, and so continued until morning.”

The Field of Honor.

Mr. Woodward, of Winnsboro’, Ga., owned a yellow dogof a roving and predatory cast of mind, a dog of active habits, possessing large information concerning adjacent hen-roosts and smoke-houses. Mr. Cloney, of the same city, had forbidden that yellow dog to come upon his premises; he had warned Mr. Woodward to make more economical use of his dog’s time, but without effect. Whereupon Mr. (Jlopey arose and slew that yellow canine with the strong hand of irre ponssible power. Mr. Woodward did not waste his time in unmanly sorrow, but hastened to wipe out in gore the wrong inflicted upon his honor. The loss of a dog is dishonor, and death is better than dishonor. Mr. Cloney, nothing ’ loth, haying now killed the dog, is quite ready to attend to the case of his owner. 80 these two gentlemen repair with their seconds to Sand Bar Ferry, and arrange the preliminaries oLa meeting, which is happily prevented by the intercession of friends. And all this took place while Mr. Tilly, shot in a duel through the stomach and bowels, was dying in agony in the same little city, and forgiving his slayer with his latest breath. Laying aside the clear-ly-defined questions as to the morality and legality of the duel, ought not the absurdity of such things as thisbring it into ridicule and disrepute ? A duel is, perhaps, !>etter than a Southwestern vendetta, or a brutal street right, or a “ political horsewhipping.” It is even better than a gentlemanly assassination; but this i 9 not saying anything in its favor. The great objection to it, outside of the moral or legal aspect, is that it is an appeal to arms to decide what never gets decided. It always leaves behind ! ty life-long hatreds and heartburning& mnong die friends and relatives of the parties, ready to flash out into deadly feud. The Uiing which it is called upon to do is the very thing which it eminently does not - do—decide. This much may, however, be said in its favor: Its courtesy and punctilio-fit it in some degree for the healing of bitter quarrels l'wo men, smarting under mutual Injury or insult, desire each other’s blood. They cannot, if diey would, approach each other with tenders of peace and good-will. But as soon as one of them calls in a friend and sends a challenge the affair has passed completely out of his hands, and when the’ challenged patty names his Ifieud lie also is in other hands- than his dwfl. N ow, if these seconds happen to be men of high character they will not let

their men fighl "over a more trifle. They are cool men of the world, and feel responsible to public opinion, which in some quarters is, unfortunately, stronger than the law on this subject. They can, by virtue of their power, take steps toward reconciliation, which the parties themselves could not take; and thus it has often happened that an old quarrel has turned into a lasting friendship by a challenge sent and accepted. The trouble is that seconds often do not have this high character, and have besides a scant allowance of brain; and another difficulty is that “society”—which always holds up its hands and shrieks with horror at a fatal duel—-always sneers more or less openly at one amicably adjusted. Fortunately, Mr. Clonev and Mr. Woodward, in the great Winnsboro’ yellow-dog duel, had sensible and true-hearted men for seconds, .and so the affair ended without the shedding of human gore.— Baltimore Gazette.

His Lucid Explanation.

A Chicago woman, who had been reading about the whisky frauds'in the paper, turned to her husband, last evening, and inquired: “My dear, what do the papers mean by saying that a man has ‘squealed?’” “ Why,” replied the man, loftily, “ they mean that some member of the ring has ‘peached’ on the rest.” “Peached on the rest!” exclaimed the wife; “now what does that mean?” “Why, it means that he’s—he’s ‘blowed on ’em.*’ ” * “ Blowed on them?” “Yes; you see, he’s ‘ given ’em away.’” “Given them away?” “Why, of course—dummit! Can’t you understand anything? Do you think I’m an unabridged dictionary?” continued the husband, impatiently. “It means he’s—he’s ‘let out on ’em’—‘gone back’ on his ‘pals’—‘squealed’—you know?” The woman did not seem quite satisfied with the man’s lucid explanation; but, not wishing to appear ignorant in her husband’s eyes, she remarked: “Ah, yes; I see!” and forebore further questioning.—Chicago Journal.

Pedestrian Training.

Pedestrianism as an athletic exercise has become deservedly popular. There is no course of gymnastics so well calculated to develop a large fiumber of muscles, or to produce so beneficial an effect upon the system. There is a right way and a wrong way of walking—the one beneficial, the other negative ill its result. What the right way is, a writer in an English contemporary tells us in the following: The body must be held erect, with head well thrown back; the movement of the legs must he from the hip downward, and the body should be carried motionless. The arms should he swung well forward in harmony with the legs, and the elbow should, when in front, be nearly on a level and at almost right angles with the chin, the hands being open and extended. The leg should be brought well round from 'the hip, and the heel deposited on the ground in line with the rear foot, so as to leave your footmarks pretty nearly in a line. But above all things hold your head up and the body erect. Stitches and other kindred annoyances are common in learning to walk, but the beginner would do well to walk it off, and never ease if he is seized with distress. To do so is to throw away the pace he has acquired from the commencement of his walk, and to knock all the regularity out of his stride.— Scientific American. A married woman named Boyon has been condemned to death at the Lot Assizes, France, for murdering her seven children and grand-daugliter by pushing needles into their bodies. She had ten children, seven of whom died under twelve months old, but it was notuntilthe death of her grand-daughter that an investigation was made. Her apparent motive for this last crime was that the child might die before its father, who was in a desperate condition, and that she might thus secure part of his property, to the prejudice of her daughter-in-law, whom she detested. When asked how she came to think of sticking needles in her children’s bodies she said that at the public house she kept there was one day a conversation on infanticide, and it was said that babies did not suffer when murdered in that wav.

An almost incredulous case of recklessness was investigated at Barnley, in England, the other day. In one of the Dodworth & Bkilstone Company’s mines a certain portion of the workings was officially pronounced “dangerous,” and the colliers were warned not to go into it. Nevertheless, two of the men who had heard the warning went into the place carrying open lights, and one of them actually applied hip candle to a “ borehole” and ignited the gas which was issuing from it. No serious harm was done, but the act was properly stigmatized by the owners of the colliery as one of the grossest possible recklessness. The Magistrate thought that a penalty of forty shillings ana costs would be sufficient, and imposed it accordingly. A Sandusky man dfowned himself the other day because his wife would not lend him thirty cents. He did right. When a wife’s confidence gets shaken to that degree the husband might as well peg out. —Detroit Free Press.

The Outside Passenger.

It was in the old days of stage-coaches, and one of those huge, lumbering vehicles wj»s plowing its way between Boston and Salem in a driving rain-storm, filled inside and outside with a jolly Jam of passengers. * , Among the number ofthe more fortunate insiders was a respectable, bald-headed old gentleman, who seemed to be very solicitous about a lady riding on the roof. Every few minutes he popped out his head, regardless of the rain, and shouted to some one above: “Well, how is she now?” And the answer came: “All right.” . “ Is she getting wet?” inquired the old man. “ No, not much,” was the reply. “ Well, can’t you put something ’round her? ’Twill never do to have her get wet, you know’.” “We’ve gSt everything around her we can get.” “ Haven’t you got an old coat or a rug ?” “ No, not a rag more.” A sympathetic young man, hearing all this, and feeling alarmed for the poor lady out in the storm, inquired of the old gentleman why they didn’t have her ride inside and not out on the roof. “Bless you, there ain’t room!” exclaimed the old man. “Not room! Why I’ll give her my place; it’s too bad!” ’ “Not at all, sir, not at all. rWe couldn’t get her inter this stage anyhow.” Amazed at her prodigious dimensions, the kind young man said: “ Well, sir, if my coat would be of any service to you she may have it;” and, suiting the action to the word, he took off that garment and handed it to the old gentleman. “ It’s almost a pity, sir, to get your overcoat wet, but ” “ Not at all, sir; by no means; pass it up to her.” The coat was accordingly passed up. “ Hqw will that do for her?” “Tip-top! Just the ticket! All right now.” Thus relieved, no further anxiety was manifested about the outside passenger till the stage arrived at the inn, when what was the sympathetic and the gallant young man’s surprise and indignation to find that his nice coat had been wrapped around—not a fair lady of unusual proportions, bqt—a double bsss viol! *i'i —Of 178 Congregational clergymen whose deaths the past year are mentioned by the Congregdlioiudist, eight were above eighty years of age and only six under forty. The average age of the entire number was sixty-four years and nearly six months.

What Shall We Do

It Is no wonder that we hear this question on every corner. So many are dying suddenly of diseases of the brain in these days that everyone is alarmed, and is asking: “ What shall we do?” There is alarm on account of dizziness of the head, a whirling sensation when rising up suddenly, a bad, “ all-gone” sensation at the pit of the stomach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a feeling like a load after eating, pains in the back, sides and chest, at times, with costive bowels, scanty, high-colored urine, sometimes voided with pain, appetite poor, and when food is eaten it oftentimes distresses; the skin, alter a time, becomes dark, cold and clammy, eyes sunken and tinged with vellow, spirits'dejected, with evil forebodings. When any of these symptoms ,are present no time should be lost in usings proper remedy. The one that we have known to o.pcrate with the most certainty is the Shaickk Extract ok Roots ok Curative Syrup (not a patent medicine), sold by Druggists and A. J. WTiite, 319 Pearl street, New York Schbnck’B Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Puls.—These deservedly cele brated and popular medicines have effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that “ Consumption is incurable” deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that, disease, and patients afflicted with it. reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to he unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it has been cured in a very great number of cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Sclienck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more thanr forty years, was supposed. at one tittle, to be arithe very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless. and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the afo'esaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Rchcnc.lt unless patients wish their lungs, examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at his priheipal office, comer Sixth mid Arch Streets, PhUi«lelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. Schenck's medicines ere ■old by all druggists. Economy. —You will save money by using Procter tfc Gamble's Original Mottled German Soap.
