Snnday Morning, October 24. 1875 :
The Infantry—A Phenomenal Baby-
De Minimis Non Curat Lex.
It is a settled fact, we believe, that,
with hard times, in this latitude, a
greater number of babies have been
born, during the current year, than
history or tradition records of prece
ding cycles of time. Every mother
naturally thinks her child the most
wonderful, especially if it be the first
born • but there has entered upon this
vale of tears, near Erie, Pennsylvania,
an infant whose pranks may justly en
title it to precedence in the little peo
ples’ world. This extraordinary child
is said to be about one year old and of
the female persuasion. All accounts
represent her to be a “well made baby,
provided with blue eyes, yellow hair,
and other desirable improvements, and
to be unusually temperate in its in
dulgence in tears and colic.” But the
chronicler goes on to say that the
“distinguishing characteristic of this
singular infant is its passion for the
pleasures of the chase in connection
with the common domestic mouse.
So peculiarly gifted is this baby, in
such matters, that the editor of the
New York Tunes, turning aside from
graver matters for the nonce, has deign
ed to explain the phenomena of
this young hopeful in the subjoined
minute and charming fashion :
On awaking in the morning the infant
mouse-catcher emerges from its cradle
■ui'l takes up a position near a convenient
mouse-hole. Fixing its gaze upon the
hole, it watches in perfect silence and with
feline patience for its game. The seduc
tive rattle and the alluring tooth-ring
have no power to distract its attention, and
it is temporarily oblivious to the existence
i>f maternahattractions. In time its pa
tience is rewarded by the appearance of a
mouse. Instantly the unhappy beast is
seized bv the infantile fingers, and its neck
is squeezed with a skill that would reflect
credit upon the most experienced cat. A
low murmur of pleasure escapes from the
successful infant, which bears a close ro
sem! lance to a feline purr, while at the
same time a curious tremor agitates its
body, which we may interpret as a futile
effort to wag an imaginary tail.
In time the inrant drops the flaccid and
breaildess mouse, and is then ready to
listen to suggestions as to the propriety of
breakfast. If disturbed, iiowever, while
still engaged in pinching lcs prey, IV
evinces anger, and places the mouse for
safe-keeping in that primitive infantile
pocket, its mouth. Frequently when cap
turing its prey, this curious domestic Nim-
BOD is severely bitten, but no matter how
deeply the teeth may penetrate, it neither
cries nor shows the slightest unoaslness,
although it is acutely sensitive to pain
from other sources, and, like an ordinary
infant, often expresses in loud tones its
suspicion of the existence of pins in appro
priate localities. Its parents have in vain
tried to wean it from mice, but the per
sistent infant has refused to be comforted
when deprived of the excitement of the
chase. It is fortunate for the peace of the
household that the supply of mice con
tinu s to be abundant, and there has
hitherto been no necessity of making new
mouse-holes, or of stocking the house with
additional mice. It must be evident, how
ever, that in time so skillful an Infant will
bring about a scarcity of game; and in that
case its parents will have to fall back either
upon artilicial mouse-culture or soothing
syrup in large doses.
Not satisfied with this exposition,
the commentator begins to suspect
that it is nobody at all but’a cat in dis
guise. In point of fact he begins to
poke into the metaphysical meal-tub
for concealed claws, and scents a well
developed “mice.” He even goes so far
as to propose an experiment to settle
this nice point in physics, as well as
metaphysics. He proposes that the
“infant be left alone in a room with
pans of milk ami roasted chicken ex
posed on a table; and a watch should
be kept to see if it steals the cream and
gnaws the chicken. It would also be
well to ascertain if it shows any dis
position to get up in the night and sit
on the fence or the ridge-pole of the
house, and there exercise its lungs; and
whether it evinces that singular fond
ness for concealing itself under the
parlor sofa, which is innate in the
usual cat. If it does these things there
can be no possible doubt that, though
it is an ostensible infant, it is a cat. Its
fondness for mouse-catching is alone
sufficient to create a strong suspicion
that it is morally a cat; but still it is
possible that in this matter it is merely
imitating some cat for which it has an
extraordinary fondness and respect,
and that it is really a human infant of
remarkable imitative powers.”
We refer the puzzled philosopher to
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes’ celebra
ted fiction showing how Elsie Venneb,
by a curious congenital taint, had all
the outward attributes of a beautiful
woman and all the inward suggestive
ness of the serpent that poisoned the
blood of her mother when delicately
Situated. It would be curious t6*ao--
certain from the maternal side of the
Erie phenomenon what catastrophe oc
curred before the birth of this aston
ishing brat.
Dropping high philosophy, however,
the Times editor, comes to the low
ground of common-place practicality
and, having been perchance a victim of
the eccentricities of home life in the
nursery, grimly points out a moral to
all i. thers who have babies in train
ing. Hear the brute:
the example of the mouse-catching infant
o'*-. .. to bo extensively followed by all
well regulated infants. If in every house
h A children under two or three years of
could be induced to spend the day at
r u-e-h.iles, they would not only accom-
Ph> . a great benefit to humanity in extir
pati x mice, but they would be occupying
tliei; time much more creditably tothem
selv s than is their usual custom. It is im
possible to compare the average infant,
who ciamore for food at improper hours,
and indulges iu colic at the most inconven
ient moments, with this quiet and Indus
lit ■ o destroyer of mice, without perceiv
mg that the latter is leading a far nobler
and more useful existence. Its memoir
should be written and placed in the hands
ii--. infant of three months old and
'‘pwm and the lesson to go anddolike
ild be instilled into every infantile
mm. by ali mothers who desire the best
‘ dre o. themselves and their childien.

to seize upon an Erie baby-phenomenon
that any power short of the super

but vindictive glee, from charging the

The Pathetic Story of au Unfortunate
Man.
Never in the course of our journalis
tic experience have we read a sadder
story than Elder J. V. Beekman’s reci
tal of the causes that led to his down
fall. This unhappy man was the pas
tor of a Christian Church in Illinois.
For some time preceding the close of
his mission as a minister of the Word,
his irregular habits brought grief to
his friends and reproach to his culliug.
Becoming painfully aware that he
could nq longer minister to his flock
in the town of Maroa, he abandoned
the pulpit, and, after a sermon by a
neighboring pastor, ono holy Sabbath
day, he rose in his place and delivered
the following address, which is not sur
passed in genuine eloquence, dramatic
fervor and true pathos by anything of
the kind in real life or iiction. He
said:
Asa man I have the highest conception
as to what the life and character of a min
ister of the Gospel should be. I know that
ho should load a consistent and au upright
life, that can be looked to by the communi
ty as an example of purity and righteous
ness. Knowing that my life had not been
such Iu all respects, I desire to tender to
this church, for which I have labored so
long, my resignation.
You are aware t.h it I refer to my sin of
Intemperance. This may be my last op
portunity of addressing you, and I want to
ask you that you will not charge this
greatshameto the religion of Christ. It
teaches better things. Charge it all to my
own dopravity and sinful nature. To you
who have not this habit, it is strange that I
should thus yield to temptation. I well
remember the time when I thought
it strange that others drank and ruined
themselves with alcohol. 1 am glad that
there are so many young men here this
morning, that 1 may lift my voice in warn
ing, and beg them to profit by my example.
You think n ;w that you are strong and in
no danger. I well remember the time when
I believed the same. Twelve years ago,
when I reached forth my inexperienced
hand and took the intoxicating cup, I
thought I was strong; but I developed a
habit that now holds me iu chains, aud in
the most awful slavery that humabity was
ever subjoctod to. It holds ino in its em
brace when I seek my bod for repose; it
disturbs my dreams during the weary
hours of night, and seizes me as its prey
when I rise up in the morning to enter
upon the duties of the day.
Profit, oh! profit by my example; see
what it has done for me. There was a
time when I stood as fair as auy minister
of the church in Illinois; there was a time
when I had as bright prospects and as
cheering hopes for the future as any of my
classmates. But now they are all gone be
cause of intemperance. O! that I could
bring the whole world to hear my warning
voice. Young ladies, you can do much to
remove this curse from the world by not
countenancing its use among your compan
ions.
Brethren, I sever my connection wiih
you as your pastor with a sad heart. It
would be sad under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but much more so as it is.
But I shall remain with you in the church,
and labor in the community for a liveli
hood; I will come to your social meetings
and work with y.ou in the Sunday School,
and will do what I can to atone for the
great sin I have committed.
God knows I do not wish to injure His
cause. Pray lor me that I may yet over
come this besetting sin. I trust I shall be
able to conquer. But, should I go down
under the withering influence, I ask that
you remember mo kiudly. Whenever you
meet me, and under what circumstances,
remember there was a time when you were
proud of me. But treat me as you may,
act towards me as you choose, 1 beg that
you will remember my wife kindly. Do not
give her pain and sorrow because of my
wrong doing. Poor woman, she has
always suffered enough. I married her a
sweet and innocent girl. She lias been a
patient and faithful wife. Again, I ask
that you will kindly remember my wife
and children.
Grievously as this poor brother may
have sinned, there is that within him
which may well challenge the sympa
thy of man and, the pity of God and
angels. If . religion—and the man has
it, even in eclipse—cannot save from an
over-mastering habit, it may be con
cluded that his body, and not his soul,
needs ministration. He is too noble a
creature to be forsaken and left to his
owu devisement of remedies. His
friends should send him to an inebriate
asylum, there to be treated by the phy
sicians. Many a man, in our experi
ence, has been restored to wife, friends,
good name and society; to hope, use
fulness and a well-founded trust of
eternalj salvation. No generous man
or woman can read this [recital of a
shipwrecked life without emotion, and
we pray God that this good, but unfor
tunate man, may not be driven to des
pair and perdition; but sustained by
heavenly and human influences, rally
back to dury and, at last, repose iu an
ljpnest grave,'about which even the
Seraphim may not refuse to encamp.
Johnson’s New Cyclopaedia.
We have already spoken of the ad
vent of the agent of Appleton’s Cyclo
paedia in our midst. He was but the.
precursor of another excellent gentle
man iu the same line. Mr. T. K.
Oglesby, so well known to our com
munity as a writer and editor, has been
appointed the General Agent for cer
tain Southern territory to introduce a
great work called Johnson’s Cyclopaedia
which professes, and apparently from
such investigation as we could give it,
seems to be a more complete scientific
and popular treasury of useful knowl
edge than auy similar work now
before the public. Neither pains, talent
of the highest order, nor expense has
been spared to make this work as near
perfection, for tho wise and otherwise,
as may be within the reach of human
wit or the power of abundant money.
It is to be completed in four large
volumes, of nearly 1,700 pages, the first
of which we now possess. Hon. A. H.
’ Stephens is one of the editors, and he
has been enthusiastic on the subject, as
well as laboriously employed, for a
number of years. His contri
butions are manv, and of the high
est character. Mr. Oglesby’s inti
mate relations with Mr. Stephens
while engaged upon this matter, quali
fy him, in an eminent degree, to pre
sent its claims to the public. Ho will
presently submit this most desirable
publication to the people of Augusta,
and while the work “speaks for itself,”
we know enough of the agent to state
that he will make it speak in a manner
that will be entirely satisfactory to the
purchaser and the canvasser. Mr.
Oglesby is a high-toned, honorable
gentleman, and one, too, in every re
spect, worthy of patronage and en
couragement.

A Library of Universal In
formation.
The American Cyclopaedia
Entirely Revised and Fully Illustrated.
With Maps and Engravings.
Complete in Sixteen Valumes.
Edited by GEO. RIPLEY and CHARLES
A. DANA.
THE NECESSITY FOR A CYCLOPEDIA :
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which he needs
and desires further information. In conver
sation. in trade, in professional life, on the
farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
{ the facilities for reference are at hand,they
j are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
i gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of tho
party concerned.
But how are these facilities for reference
to bo had? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ? How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point m which thoy may be interest
ed; of satisfying themselves with respect
to porsons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and politics, literature an
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures? How can the working
man hope to bring within bis reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment ? W e answer, by sub
scribing to tho AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently tne work
for our country and generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for even fact required, without
the certainty offinding it at last. When a
Cyclopaedia. embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabeticat
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary, and yeritied
by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
colloct a library complete in ail the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopmeia, worth
iujitself, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the reach of
ail—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like ours, where the humblest
may bo called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the value of such a work canuot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIBKABY.
The “American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of ail
books crystalized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the information wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide-eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make or every question
sprung in the family ciicle an instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular tiling its owner may
happen to want. It is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than are many of
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers oil every subject, printed
from new typo, and illustrated with seve
ral thousand engravings and colored lith
graphic maps. It is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixteen volumes -ten volumes
now ready—which are payable only upon
the delivery of each volume, so that the
cost, which prevents most people from
buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the first
deliverery; a volume may be delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how much can be spared each
month ? Three dollars a mouth, which is
only ten cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time of its completion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
