gjjc Constitnticmolist, AtjatrsTA. 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. —.ere are some editors who under l f im i appreciate this bitter sar rr“’ aud sotue who Will die without that prmiege.

Think you that when he chances to seize upon an Erie baby-phenomenon that any power short of the super natural can prevent him, with intense but vindictive glee, from charging the infantry into utter rout by the lead pencil payonet ? It is true that, the murderous deed once perpetrated, he has lost the regard of every mother of every infant, but, on the other hand, he has commanded the sympathy of every father who has per sonal grievances of this character, and stands between the two, like the fabled coffin of Mohammed, a magnetic wonder only a little less phenomenal than that Pennsylvania cherub. 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. Lord Houghton is a martyr to neu algia.

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. PRICK AND STYLE OP BINDING.
