naturally inclines to conceal its actions from the mother, who for tho few earliest years at least must, almost of necessity, he with it more than any other one. In such cases it is impossible not to feel that the parents must be held, in part, accountable. Over-strictness in governing children too often proves a temptation to deceive and conceal. When a child first understands that it is under surveillance and all its acts criticised ori censured it becomes uncomfortable, and soon feels frightened, and socks to escape from the thraldom by prevarication or deceit. To deny, conceal, invent or give an excuse that to a youthful mind appears plausible, if not unanswerable, opens in their childish judgment tho readiest way of escape from blame or punishment. Let any one enter on that way and concealment, deceit and excuses become easy. It will not ho long before this course will be taken not merely to avoid punishment or reproof but to secure some pleasure known to have been forbidden. Young parents often enter upon their now duties with very high ideas. They have theories which, if strictly followed out, will place their non/iareil far above all other babies and bring it into maturity a bright and shining light, only a

Mary Gilleam, the daughter of Maynard Gillcam, of Charleston, Ark.,will bo twenty-two years of age next Christmas. Charlie Stover—a romantic name, as the reader may mark—was Miss Gillcam’s Romeo. Not to mince nutters, Mrs. Gilleam declared that Mr. Stover’s Intellectual bank account wasn't half as long as his ears. The lovers decided to elope. The Charleston Vindicator contains a thrilling account of what followed the decision. Mrs. Gillenm canght her daughter in the act of slipping out st the back gate. Tho mother seized Mary and triad to hold her. 'Tn the ecuflle, says the Vindicator, “Mary was divested of her dress and many other garments, but fortunately one of Charlie’s friend’s had the presence of mind to thrown riding skirt over hor in the nick of time.” Mean-, while, Charlie and Mr. Gilleatu wera having it tooth and toe-nail.

On Monday last Senator Voorhees left for Atlanta, Ga., where he delivered the opening address before the Cotton Expo sition on Wednesday, after which he proceeded direct to Washington to be present at the opening of the Senate. One of the Washington correspondents writes as follows: Rev. Mr. Bower, pastor of the Christian church, was asked last evening in regard to the statement made in the pulpits of certain churches last Saturday, that be had been refused the privilege of seeing Mr. Garfield during his illness. Mr. Bower said ho had nothing to complain about, though it was true that ha had never seen the ITesident during his illness. It was generally supposed he visited him regularly, but he had not. lie had never aaked permission to do so, and, consequently, had never been refused.

Are we to become a nation of opiumaniacs '! It would seem so, if tbo story told by a prominent New York physician holds good. He gives some startling information, carefully gleaned by him, regarding the habit of opium-smoking introduced into this country by our Chi nese emigrants. Basing his estimate upon data gathered after months of fiidustry he fixes the number of American smokers at between three and five thousand. The habit, he claims, obtains as much among the female as among the male sex, and U is indulged in by the slaves of it at least taico daily. The “joints,” as the places where the smoking is done are called, are invariably presided over by some ugly Mongol, and there amid wntchodness and squalor, and stenches most mephitic, o| ium’s dev dees go to dream of luxuries supernal and of beauty more natural than that of the black-eyed houris of Paradise.

The Mormon priests, in their sermons, are telling their d duded followers that if they had been called they could have saved the President's life simply by laying on of hands.

Some begin with the idea that implicit, unquestioning, instantaneous obedience must be insisted on, and any hesitation or deviation must be met at once by severe punishment. Children brought up under such a system are the ones most likely to deceive and conceal. Those parents who are thoroughly good and act iu the most conscientious manner, in their hearts believing that their theory, “ though for the present not joyous but grievous,” will in the end work out tho peaceable fruits of righteousness, are the ones who in riper years, taught by that rough schoolmas-

Boorchildren! If parents could only know exactly what spirits they had to deal with, if they had wisdom to guide and govern through love and gentleness, now much less temptation to deceit and concealment —how much more happiness both for

parents and children.

Wholesale license and indulgence do not make the happiest child-life, but with all its evils we doubt if it is morally as injurious as over-governing and severity. But whatever mode of training children may be adopted, that is best which is so modified as to teach all, particularly tho girls, that the mother is the sagest and wisest confidante, Children will make mistakes, but no great harm will follow if they have no secrets from their mother; anil they will not be tempted to hide a blunder if they know she will not rebuke sharply but with loving kindness. A girl will not do anything very wrong who has no secrets from hor mother.

A Forest Scene Beside the Amazon. On the third evening after our departure from Bogota, we encamped on the banks of the Rio I’atamayo ( a tributary of the Amazon), in a grove ol majestic adansouias, or monkey fig- v trees. High over our heads we heard an incessant grunting and chattering, but tho evening was too far advanced for us to distinguish the little creatures that moved in the top branches of the tall trees. Tho next morning, however, the noise recommenced, and we saw that the grunters were a sort of small raccoons, and the chatterers a troop oi mows, or capuchin monkeys. After a consultation with the Indians wo fastened our monkey, Billy, to a string, and made him go tin the tree as high as we could drive him without betraying our presence to his relatives. We had no traps for catching them, but our plan was to let them come neat enough for us to shoot one of the mothers without hurting her babies. Billy’s rope, as we had expected, got entangled before long, and, finding himself at the end of his tether, be began to squeal, and his cries soon attracted the attention of his friends in the tree top. We heard a rustling in the branches, and presently an old ring-tail made his appearance, and, seeing a stranger, his chattering at once brought down a troop of his companions, mostly old males, though. Mother-monkeys with babies are very shy. and those in the tree-top seemed to have some ides that all was not right. Their husbands, though, came neater and nearer and had almost reached Billy’s perch, when all at once their loader slipped behind the tree and like a dodging squirrel, and at the same moment we heard from above a fierce, long-drawn scream; a harpy-eagle was circling around the tree-top, and coming down with a sudden sweep, he seized one luckless mother-monkey that had not found time to reach a hidiiigplace. The poor tiling held on to llor branch with all her might, knowing that her life and her baby’s were at stake, but the eagle caught her by the throat and his throttling clutch at last made hor relax her grip, and with a single Hop of his mighty wings the harpy raised himself some twenty feet, mother, baby and all. Then wo witnessed a most curious instance of maternal devotion and animal instinct— unless I should call it presence of mind; when branch after branch slipped from hor grip and all hope was over, the mother with her own hands tore her baby from hor neck and Hung it down into tho tree, rather than have it share the fate she knew to bo in store for herself. I stood up and fired both barrels of my gun after tho robber, but without ollbet; the rascal already had ascended to a height of at least two hundred feet, and he flew off with his victim dangling from-between his claws. —Dr. F.

Humors of the German Army. Days of kit inspections, reviews, or grand parades are fearful nuisances to the privates, for if anything goes wrong examples are made right and left without any nice discrimination in tho choice of the victims, liacklander, in his amusing military reminiscences, relates how once at a review passed during the summer maueuvres by a Brince of the blood, an unfortunate fusilier, stepping ou a molehill, stumbled, and for a moment threw his company out of line as it marched past the saluting-tlag. Tho mistake was not noticed by the Colony, of the regiment; but at the close of tho review the Brince, after addressing his sincorest compliments to the Generals of the different army corps, said, laughing, to one of them: “I am sorry. General, that the only mistake of tho day should have occurred in your corps. I hope tho poor fusilier did not hurt himself.” “ Yv hat fusilier?” asked the General, and then ho was told of tho stumble on the molehill. Gloomy and furious, tho General presently assembled his Colonels and assailed them with bitter reproaches: “Gentlemen, thanks to you. my corps is the only one that disgraced itself to-day.” The Colonels, angry and ashamed, hurried off to theu regiments, and repeated this lecture to their Captains: “Gentlemen, thanks to you, my regiment has become the laugh-ing-stock of the service.” Each Captain, thereupon summoning his Lieutenants and Sergeants, exclaimed: “ Thanks to you, gentlemen, my company has this day incurred the special censure of his Royal Highness.” The truth was that the Brince had been so pleased with the review that ho had granted the whole array three days’ rest; but these three days, which were to have brought relaxation to the men, were spent in extra drills, polishing, furbishing and fatigues, which almost knocked the life and spirit out of them, and of course, the punishment lists wore full. —Londoit Daily News.
