liima, fifty* an exchange, i called the
paradiHC of women. They are cftlfofi
heautiful; ho they are, if you admire
kdack eyen and ebony treHW3*-—not the
dreamy black cyeß of the harem*, nor
the Hparkling black eye* of tlm Hynim,
nor the liquid black eye* of thoKgyplian*,
hut the black eye* that cattily reveal the
different type* of character. I*en'vi ?i
ladieH have character and are not afraid
to fihow it; yet wo hear nothing of equal
right* and privilege* among them. l*r
them to lay claim to a right i* but to
possess it, for they can easily wtn over
the priesthood, and thus have the most
powerful class of Peru on their hide.
They are generally occupied, but do not
work; they look U]>on labor an degrading.
They rise early, take a cup of tea and go
to mass. Their toilet requires but a few
moments. Their walking suits are neat
and pretty; in this respect they surpass
ns. The dress is black and never touches
the ground; there is no fussing or
fumbling with trains. A white skirt i
sometimes seen a little below the dr. ms,
with a deep hem and two tuckh, ami al
ways white and clean. Prunella guitars
are generally worn; and hands an hare;
the manta ih thrown over the head, fail
ing gracefully down almohl to the bottom
of the skirt.
The subject of dress claim* most of
their time and attention; their hull
drosses and opera and soiree suits are
magnitlcent. Their boots, especially,
are beautiful. No people have naturally
ns small feet as the Peruvians. The
Peruvian-made hoots are too small for
ft >reigners.
Peruvian Indies are not very intelligent;
as soon as they pass beyond the school
girl period they care little for books or
literature. Many learn to play the piano
when young, but do not care to continue
when married. They are excessively
courteous in their manners, but we mo
not to be misled by appearances. Their
mode of salutation is more of an embrace
than anything else, and they always
say: “My house and all that I have is
entirely at your disposal, and we are to
he as one family.” They are always
wealthy in imagination at least they
never speak of poverty. They love ta
smoke. Although handsome when young,
they scarcely turn twenty when they he
gin to fade. One thingalways lasts wit h
them, and that is their gait. Their move
ments are gliding and graceful; the same
is true of the men.
A Scene In a School-Room.
Boy-nature was neither studied or un
derstood in the former days It’ the
modern school, taking its cue from tin
modern family, loans unduly to the side
of moral suasion, the old fashioned
school master was a partisan of flogging,
fte also took his cm* from the parents,
whose motto was, "Spare the rod, spoil
the child.”
“I’ve brought you our Jock,” said a
Scotch mother to the school master, drag
ging forward a struggling young savage:
"mind ye lick him wed!”
No wonder that Jock, thus consigned
to the rule of the strap, should grow up
a worse suvAge, Of course he would be
come a bully and lieat his weaker mates.
A Scotch editor, commenting on the
rough school of his boyhood, where
nothing kept the hoys in any sort of or
der but the strap,— taiu*r is its Scotch
liairte, —describes a scene w hich ho wit
nessed during a school session:
Jock had maltreated a son of hors on
the green, and she had come t> inflict
vengeance upon him before the w hole
school. Jock’s conscious soul trembled
at the sight, and she had little difficulty
in detecting him.
Ere the master had recovered fromjjthe
astonishment which her intrusion had
created the fell virago hud pounced upon
the culprit, had drugged him into the
middle of the floor, aud there began to
belabor him with the domestic tansi ,
which she luvd brought for the jmrjn sc.
The screams of the hov, the anxious
entreaties of the master, with his con
stant, “Wifie, with*, be quiet, be quiet,”
and the agitated feeling which begun to
pervade the school, formed a scene which
defy words to paint it.

The Discovery of (’ounter Irritation.
But few jKoplo now living are ac
quainted with the theoretical idea of
counter-irritation, which has been so
much admired in the practice of medi
cine. It had its origin in the following
manner : A shoemaker living in Burns
loy, in Yorkshire, England, called in
Dr. Fellows for advice. He gave a his
tory of his ease, summing it all up in
these words : "In short, doctor, 1 can’t
stand sitting.” “Then,” replied the
doctor, who was somewhat famous as a
wit, “you fool, why don’t you sit stand
ing.” This so enraged the* cobbler that
he left the physician and sent in a bill
for a pair of boots. The doctor paid
the hill, gave a fresh order for another
pair, and soon gained the confidence of
his patient Learning that the cobbler
had vilified him, ho determined to make
him suffer. He prepared a machine
which, by means of a fly-wheel, threw
forward aud backward a board like a
weaver’s shuttle. Beneath this hoard
were placed large pebbles. When the
cobbler applied again for treatment for
the nervous prostration with which he
was suffering, he was strapped by the
doctor to this board and the machine
put in motion. The poor cobbler
groaned in agony and suffered as if upon
the rack, but the doctor put on ail the
power until the cobbler yelled for help.
The next day the patient hud so much
improved that he applied for another
trial of the machine. It effected a com
plete cure, and the doctor became fa
mous throughout Yorkshire a ourer
of nervous debility by his “ counter-ir
ritation machine, which was invented
aa a joke,

Six Little Women of the Olden Time.

were as follows : Lois Rowell, aged
twelve years ; Nelly Caswell and Rho i.i
Bike, aged eleven years ; Polly Caswell
and Lois l’ike, aged eight, years, and
Anna Caswell, aged four years. Lois
Rowell sat on the saddle and held the
reins, and small Anna Caswell and the
other four misses rode behind her. Chev

Ronton and New York.
Bo long ago as 1719, Daniel Neal, an
observant traveler, who ought to beheld
in high esteem by Massachusetts people,
wrote of the New England metropolis :
“ There are five printing-presses in Bos
i ton, which are generally full of work,
by which it appears that humanity and
the knowledge of letters flourish more
here than in all the other English planta
tions put together, for in the city of New
York there is but one bookseller's shop,
and in the plantations of Virginia, Mary
land, Carolina, Barbadoes and the
islands, none at nil.”
Happily humanity and the knowledge
of letters are no longer confined to one
corner of the country ; but, notwith
standing the growth of an opinion that
Boston and New York are to occupy rel
atively the positions of Edinburgh and
London, the capital of Massachusetts
still has a peculiar prestige as the oldest
center of literary culture in the country,
causing the eyes of the rest of the Union
to turn toward it with a particular inter
est, a glance compounded of respect and
reminiscence with something of insatiur
bte expectancy. The privileged Bos
tonian, it is true, laughs at Boston in
his quii t wav. “Itis a capital place to
. live in,” said an eminent publisher who
has his dwelling there, “ because then
you can go to New York. But if you
live in New York, where can you go?”
The mot epitomizes the sentiment of
many among his townsmen ; but if
they sometimes join in the alien laugh
against their “little city,” and recog
nize a degree of smallness and con
straint in its general attitude, they also
keenly appreciate the other side. So
do some of our friends the New York
ers. One of the younger Now York
poets, on visiting Cambridge for the
first time, said to me ; "W hear a
great deal about the failure of Boston to
quite appreciate the mental breadth and
energy of New York. But with all the
admiration 1 felt for this region before I
came here, I find / didn’t wholly iq>-
preciate it. There is such a thing as
New York Bostouism.” Harprr'BMag

The Egypt tens mummied all sorts of

take to embalming Beasts J am sure that,
notwithstanding the national mime and
the place which roast beef holds in Eng
lish song and story, they would pass by
the hull and swathe the defunct horse in
muslin and spices. For if the. horse he
not a god in England at least the cult of
the horse is a sort of religion. There are

The condition of the ftnimal*; their
grooming; the cut of their tails and
manes; the way in whieh t hey stand, or
step, or stride , the fashion of their har

to them of deep concern, of uneasy anx
iety. And this is so not once a year, or
once a quarter, or once a month, hut
(•very day and two or three times it day ;
every time, indeed, that they ride or
drive. Nor do F mean only those who
are culled "horsey” men, gmith men
drivers of mail coaches ami the like, who
are grooms in everything except taking
wages, and some of whom, f was told,
will carry their coachmanship so far as
to take a "tip.” Apart from these* there
is a very large class to whom the perfec
tion in the minutest point of their oquest
jiaii "turnout ” is a question of the inn
ror morals. When one of this class feels
sure that his horse, his “ trap ” and his
groom will bear the eritiei an of his
friends and rivals, the ineffoJdo air of
solemn self-suflieieiicy with which he sits
the saddle or the box is at once* amusing
and pitiable. These men criticise each

The Old I organ Story.
A pamphlet hasibeen issued entitled : ]
“ American Political Anti-Masonry, with j
(kxxl Enough M"igan.” In orafit to
give the raader an idea cl the nai i.‘ ! i 1
it, may lx? wll to itato that in the year j
1820, a Freematon, by the name of j
William Morgan, tjien residing in Batavia, ;
attempted to mak< an exiiose of Masonry,
li nra kidnapped on the 12th of Sep
tember, of tluit year, and was supposed
te have Pawned in the Niagara
river. When he disappeared he was
quite bald and wore no whiskers. More
than a year after this time the Is sly of a
man was found forty miles east of the
Niagara river on (lie shore of Lake On- j
tario, and an inquest doelarod it to lie the
body of an unknown man. The clothing
was taken care of by one of what was
then known as the Morgan Committee.
Soon after this inquest Thurlow Weed,
who was chief of said committee, pro
fessed to believe the Is sly might he that ,
of Morgan. He, therefore, had it dug j
ii]> and a second inquest held. The body, j
U'ing thus disinterred, was found to have |
a full head of hair uj>on its head and full |
side-whiskers on its fa<r*. All this Mr. !
Weed well knew, for, in a letter to the ;
New York /A raid, written in 1875, he
says : "The head was covered with long
silken hair of a chestnut color. ” The
second inquest declared the body to he
that of Morgan, and it was buried as such.
But, doubt having arisen as to whether
there nad not been foul piay by Weed
and others, the body was again disin
terred, and a third inquest held at Ba
tavia. The head of the body this time
appeared very lmld, and with no whis
kers on the face, although the proof
showed that the head when found on the
shore was well covered with hair, and the
face covered with whiskers. It was also
proven that the body was four inches
taller than that of Morgan, and was that
of one Timothy Monroe.
Citizens of Beta via, where Morgan
hud resided, testified that the body was
not Morgan’s, and the third inquest so
decided. After this Elsinezer Qnfltnd
said to Weed, “ What are you going to
do with Morgan now ?” to which it was
said Mr. Weed gave the celebrated r<-
ply: “It is a good-enough Morgan till
after election.” Henry OR. ilh v, tin
editor of the Daily Advertiser , pub
lished some statistics intimating that
Weed had disfigured the head and face
of the corpse of Timothy Monroe so as
to make it look like that of Morgan.
For this Mr. A’eed causedO’Reilley to la
indicted for libel. The suit remained
untried thirteen years, thus harassing
O’lUalley, but was finally nolle prosr
<juied, and lately Mr. Weed has publicly
stated that the ease was sworn off by
O’UeilJey, so that he could not get a
trial. IV this statement of Mr. Weed,
Mr. O’Reilley now replies; "A lawyer
familiar with prominent legal proeeed
! ings at that time knows that Weed's in
ability for twelve years to cause trial to
be had against us on his indietrmmt is in
itself a libel niKn our judiciary system,
and as to his declaration that lie urged
the trial while he had been swearing it
off, it may be repeated lv us tlmt it
would require as much hard swearing as
it would to make the public believe that
Morgan’s corpse had grown four inches
in length and crept into Timothy Mon
roe’s breeches twelve mouths after his
dcatl i. ” - pj'f ha n<j* \
School-boys and Headaches.
Prof. Trembler has deliv* red u lecture
before the German Association of Natur
alists and Physicians which contains a
fact of some interest to teachers. If
says that headache in schools decidedly
increases, until in some schools, and
notably in Nuremberg, one-third of t!i*
ucholars suffer from it. He believes
that the cause is over intellectual ex
ertion, caused partly l*,' the adoption of
too many subjects, but principally by
the tendency to demand night-work.
The brain is then freshly taxed wh.-n its
cells are exhausted. W* begin t - hear
the same complaint in England, om>
dally from London sclnsds, and are
tempted to Ix'lh've that in sonic of them
an inq>ereoptiblo but steady increase
in the amount of night work demanded
has been going on, which is parsing a
safe limit. It does not hurt the quick,
and it does not hurt the stupid, hut it
does hurt the hoys and girls who want
to fulfill all demands, and have not
quite the quickness to do it. The u.su.il
quantity of Latin, for example, to be
learned at night lias within the last
thirty years more than doubled, while
the pressure from parents upon the
children to learn it all has increased n
nearly the same proportion. The
creased crowding of schools explains
much, but it does not explain this head
ache, which is not suffered by the buys
in projHirtion to their ill-health. Jhe

The U rind stone of Life.
Turning grindstones to grind scythes
is one of those heroic but u:iobtniM\c
occupations for which on*.* gets no ere.lit.
It is a hopeless kind of task, and, how
ever faithfully the crank i> turned, is
one that brings little reputation. There
is a*great deal of poetry about having
1 mean for those not engaged in it. One
likes to hear the whetting of the scythe
on a fresh morning and the response of
the noisy bobolink, who sits upon the
fence and superintends the cutting of
the dew-laden grass. There is a sort <>f
music in the "swish” and a rhythm in
tin 4 swing of the scythes in concert.
But if the scythes cut well and swing
merrily it is due to tin* hoy who turn .1
the grindstone. For my part fused to
like the grindstone that "wabbled” a
good deal on its axis, for when 1 turned
it fast it put the grinder on a lively look
out for cutting his hands, and entirely
satisfied his desire tlmt I should "turn
faster.” I used to wish sometimes that
I could turn fast enough to make the
stone tly into a dozen pieces.
This is out' of tb disagreeable tasks of
the hoy farmer, and hard as it is 1 do not
know why it te supposed to b lou * im
perially to childhood. But it i , undo i
- the certain marks that second child
hood has come to a man on a farm is
that he is asked to turn the grindstone
ns if lie were a boy again. When the old
man is gotxl for nothing else, when he
can neither mow nor pitch and se ireeiy
"rake after,” lie can turn a grindstone,
xnd in this way he renews his youth.—
