From the Londoa Saturday Rcvie.v. family quarrels have been the most interestino; variety of qtiairc-l ever since ihe days of Cain aud Abel. They tend to become almost the soul surviving species of quarrel. It is seldom or nev er worth while to quarrel with any man not associated with 113 by some very dose tie; and such tic3 become daily rarer outside of the family eircle. Fellow travelers iu the lcart of Afri ca, companions on a Ion- sea voyao, the squire and parson in some couiury village remote from general eocie.y, may still uurs'3 a quarrel into som -tiling like intensity. Uut in the world whieh most of us inhabit, a world in which the dirhculty of adiierinu: to our liPvSt friends is much greater titan the diniculty.of dropping them, a dispute naturally leads to a driftingapart rath er than to a permanent qu;irrel. Peo ple must be coiilifie l within a narrow area in order to cultivate hatred e-fec tually ; deadly and continuous hatred is fast becoming an anachronism as much as the old blood-feud between ri val clans cr th vendetta of Corsi;:, Tin family bond, however, st ill sur vive'? sutlicienily 10 main; quarreling posaih'c, and to yive it unusual piquan cy. To:; most excellent people are so'.iiiimes adepts in this qties.ionaMe ar. The afiVction iH-tween th" parties to fanjily quanxd is generally close enough to insure that every blow shall be keenly felt, and ti'.e nequaiutam-e is intimate enough to insure th;:t it s.'mii be planted on tha m-ot tender ph;ce. iJro.i.ers and j-i.sters know -UL-h other's wop.kitcsM'S; tiiey can t!l precisely what is th.e lit'le vanity which can K niiwt e;t.-.ily aroused, and what the par ticular argument whica always orings a ilush to the cluck and rais-s the pitch of the voice. The quarrels whieii en sue resemble civil wars, in which the rival leaders are perfectly acquainted with the character and favorite strate gy of their opponents. "When develop ed, by dexterous combatants, they are worth stu. lying from a purely artistic point of view. Jt is interesting to ob serve the skill with which each of the antagonists keeps the really irritating weapon in hand until the proper ino-- mfiit has arrived, and then applies it with the utmost nicety, and yet with some ingenious teil of apology. The dispute generally begins wi-.h a little apparently harmless sparring; but as the disputants warm to their work they get iu ;ur to the fatal ground, each trying to avoid the responsibility of first using the familhir and infallible weapon, until at last temper is lost, and the unsparing tussle begins, which amongst the rougher classes ends with an application of boot or. poker, and amongst the more civilized with the spiritual equivalents of thosa coarse weapons. A bystander may regard such scenes as he "would look on at a wru-tling match or a game of bitli.ir ls; but it ran?; 1h permuted thrtt the moralist will feel some remorse in d 'rivingsiin ple amusement from the folly of his fellow-creatures. For after all. the fol ly of such qu arrels is the mostcon?.pic- "uous thing about them. It is really cunous to rmiark how regularly such quarrels run a certain it-destined course. The impression is almost inevitable that the combatants are repeatiag a prearranged theatrical performance. The catastrophe may be forced from the beginning, and not on ly the catastrophe, but the. whole d" vtlopement of the olot. One is not more certain on reading the first page of a commonplace novel as to the gen eral nature of the last than one may be in a family quarrel as to tha p;rts which will be taken by the various ac tors, the weapons which they will ue, the channels into which their wrath will tlow, and the Cnal catastrophe of indignation, sulking and apology. The quarrel runs its course a3 regularly as the mt-.vdes. It is like one of those sto ries in which children delight all the more because they are hearing them for the hundredth time. One is left to imagine that the combatants must really like it, or otherwise they would surely have taken some' measures to suppress a mischief every stage in which is so- thoroughly familiar and explicable. The fact, ind?ed, proves what nerds little proof the profound unrea-ona-Lleness of mankind. Why repeat again and again a ierformance which annoys everylxxly concerned, which poisons the happiest hours of life, which never leads to a single good resulr.and which has probably been renounced in a thou sand good resolutions? Tit. reason is that men are unreasonable, and there fore it can do little good to argue against the practice. It may, howev er, be. worth while to point out one or two cf the fallacies involved which do. for the moment, impose upon some of the actors. If such an exposition does no good considered as advice, it may suggest come physiological remarks for tha ir.e of novelists. There is one habit of mind, implied in most family quarrels of the more Yirulent 'nature, which especially deserves r.otice. Ev erybody will admit that the worst of family quarrels are generally those which center in some way upon mon ey.

When the mischief be comes an insult it becomes in olsraMe. Compensation, for the sam"? reason, is easily obtained when apology is out of the question. It is the sens-? of per sonal dignity, the boiling iivligna.ion which resents a liberty taen with us, that is the re il!v troublesome element. Some people invariably. lose their tem per when they are kept waiting for dinner; but temper recovers itself un less there is reason to suppose that the dilatory persons is infringing on our rights." We don't mind the coldness of the soup, but we are furiou3 at th want of fespect implied in neglec ing our orders. In almost all cast-s, where tho anger is not a mere transitory Hash, it will appear th it solvit real or con struct i ve in l?ff.ren':o to our personal rights is inferred. The sentiri?nt is familiar in politic al question. Burke exhausted all his eloquence add logic ia the fruitless tit tempt to induceEili-stonen an 1 Amer icans to argue about the expediency of the policy at issue instead of the a' straet rights involved. The same sort of trouble embitters all domes. ie quar rels. F.veu iu the most app .re utly im personal quest i ns this c-jusi-lera iou intrudes itself. A family' di.Mu e about political or literary tas es be comes bitter becaise the husband tiiinks his wife ought to respect his opiniou:t on matters when? he has a quasi-otli -ial authority, or because the wife suspects li tin of using his author ity despotically. The m.-st cai:a r1 Ilection iu such mat. crs is to be found iu the philosophical tneory of necessi ty. Oar iiniignat io- is based upon our attributing u certain amount of free will to our oop ..ent. The offender was free (however we interpret that wnrd) to itis.ii.Vn or to leave it alone. Now, as a matter of fact, we enormous ly exaggerate the sphere within which that freeihir-i is possil.de. We do not mean to raise a ay of thj knotty philo sophical questions as to the sense in which the will can properly be culled free; bit for practical purposes it would be p-xtremeiy convenient if we diew the limi.s of freedom intn-h more closely than we are in the habit of do ing. We. are not a iry with the soup for being coo!. We are angry with the cook lor.ne-iec ing her duty; and our angor impti-s th ' aavimptiou that she could have acted differently if she pleased that is to r if she hud fi h a greater respect for our orders.

The same principle applies to most fjmily quar rels. We are angry wi h a child for being late at a meal, and our anger re vives every day, as though the unlucky child could btj exp-'ctel to alter its character by a single act of the will. Some lit:l ; trick of a member of our family annoys h. and becomes .more annoying, whilst it becomes more ir remeiiia'ole every tivsi" it is repeated. In Hitler's phraseology the passive habit of unumictuality strengthens ou one side, whilst the active habit of bu irr angry strengthens on the other. When two person have p.ss"d half their lives together each ought to learn that certain habits are part of thr eth er's nature, and that to bo angry with them is as-foolish as to Us unrry with their height r features.

Editor Herald: I see in last week's paper that unknown parties have written very uncharitable letters in regard to describing our Christmas tree.. Being present that evening. I will try and give your readers .1 correct account of the proceedings. Tho en tertainment w;u opened with prayer, and immediately followed the Doxolo gy S. M, sung by the audience. Xext came the speech .Thich was rather short. The gentleman acting the role of orator was quite a stranger to Nebraska, and being placed in such an embarrassing position (that of speaker) before a fdrange audience, he was ov ercome by his extremd bashfulness. Then followed a sotig rendered by tho choir, which consisted of four soprano, and two bas3. The organist having but one hand, and the voices being few not much could be expected as re;lrds music. After this came- tho distribut ing of presents, these oi most notoriety were two large boot jack for two of the handsomest and raoat distinguish ed men in the neighborhood, viz: Mr. Ambrose Campbell and Mr. Ben Droste, with this inscribed upon them, "All bcot jacks made at this institution warranted to please, size preserved (te icg li yards long), address 10th street New Yerk Cit'." They weie present ed to the gentleman with great cere mony, accompanied with roars of laugh ter from the crowd. The Postmaster at Tfcree. Grove wa3 given a white rab bit, whi-'h seemed to arouse the eld gentleman's hilarity exceedingly. Mrs. Rebecca Crosser received from one of her friends a very handsome pair of slippers. The evening was clojed by the Teacher saying remarks to his .scholars. The letters eflast week were certain ly written as a burlesque, and hoping to see no more such literature, I remain, Truly Yours, Felix Pepperbox. Hoaor Yvtir Calling. It is a good sign when a man is fond of his calling. Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular busi ness, and deeming themselves unfortu nate because fastened, to it by the ne cessity cf gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy ail their comfort in the work; or they change their business, and go on miser ably, shifting from one thing to an other, till the grave er the poor-house gives them a last grip. But while- oc casionally a man fails in life because he is not in the place fitted for Ids pe culiar talents, it happens ten times fter.er that failure results from neg lect and even contempt of an honest business. A man should put his heart into everything that ha does. There is not a profession that has not ita pecu liar cares and vexations. Xo man will escape annoyance by changing busi ness. Xo mechanical business is alto gether agreeable. Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected, like all other human pursuits, with trials, un welcome dutits, and spirit-tiring neces sities. It is the f?ry wantonness of folly for a man to-search out tho frets and burdens of his calling, and trive his mind every day to a consideration of them. Thy belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding, then, only gives thera strength. On the other hand, a man has power given "to him to shed beauty and pleasure upon the homeliest ton, if he is wise. Eet a man adopt his business and identify it with his life, and cover it with pleas- i ant associations; for God has given us imagination not alone to make some poets, but to enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart-varnish will eov?r up innumerable evils and de fects. l,ook at the good things. Ac cept your lot as a m tit does a piece of rugged ground, and bgin to gtt out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mel low the soil, to enrich and plant it. There is something in the most forbid ding avocation around which a man may twine pleasant fancies out f which he may develop an houest pride. United States Economist.

FOE THE H0tfc3fl0.GD. Girls as Accountants. "My daughter keeps my accoup.ta, sir, and she is as systematic and particular aa ever my son was, who kept tltem be fore he left home. I tell you it does girb (and he might have addad boys also) good to give them aoniu responsi bility, and set them to watching things about the farm and household. They learn, I find, economy by ii, and soon discover that their old father la not necessarily a crazed old curmudgeon because ha doesn't loosen his purse string whenever they see something they happen to fancy, for they discover th real reason why tho pur3e should not be opened." So said a progre3siv farmer; a kind, appreciative and proud father, and a big hearted man on gen eral principles. What he said is worth recording. Butter Sculpture. Among tho many artistic novelties displayed at the Centennial Exhibition thepo waa none which attracted mora particular attention than tho figure of Ioh'.utho carved in butter. The idea was so novel, and the execution cf tho worL so perfect, that connoisseuia in art were loud in their praises, and tho dairyman and his letter half besidn themselves with wonder and admir.v tion. It mattered little who Iolantlid was a heathen deity, a king's blind daughter, or "I'hiladelphy gal," ther she stood in butter, the lieaments of her beautiful face carved out of th solidfiied extract of the national coi " The centennial matron might admiro' the chiselled maible with its insuffi ciency of raiment, the naaiih', and tho graces of another age. but she seldom failed to drag her old man from a rap turous contemplation of Pysche, Ve nus, Aurora, or some other classical young person in a state of nudity, in order to take just o::o moro look at that wonderful weuiaitin butter. Mrs. Caroline S. Brooks, the sculptress o this figure, recently gave an exhibition of modelling befora the Centennial Commissioners and a large number of spectators. Her jrwlius operandi was as follows: Placing ten to fifteen lbsj of butter in a graniteware dish, she pressed it down compactly with a small wooden, spoon-shaped ' instrument, which, with another of like pattern are the only tools she uses. The but' ter was then deposited for some fivo minutes in a refrigerator, in order to give the material tho proper elasticity. The sculptress then began her work. Mr2. Brooks ha3 inaugurated an art which opens up a wide field for use fulness and the cultivation of the beautiful among the country maidend of the period. Inter Ocean. Ice Cream Cake.

To Prevent Smoke. There h a very simple way cf avoiding the disa greeable smoke and gas whijh always pours into the room when a fire is lit iu a stove, heater, cr fire place on.tt damp day. Put ia the wood and coal 83 usual ; but before lighting them, ig nite a handful of paper or uhuvinga placed on top of the coal. This pro duce; a current of hot air in the chim ney, which draws up tha smoke and gas at once. Xot one person out of hundred ever thinks of this eayy ex pedient.

Mr. Frank Kinney, yard master of the B. & M. R. It. at Omaha, was switching the cut off train, making it up lcr List evening's down trip. He run one coach out upon a rude track, and left it without setting up the brake; then, backing up tho engine, they started to switch the ether car alongside The car that had been switch ed was on a track that had a &Uon down grade towards the rnaiu tiac:, and tha car brakes not being set, it started down to meet the coming coach and engine. Mr. Kinney was standing onVho pi lot of the engine which was attached to the coach, and just ready to draw the coujiling pin when the two coach e.s collided. The force of the collision forced the car nearest the engens up oa to the pilot and catching Mr. Kin ney between tLera crushed hia. to death.

When they get up stairs a man takes them and gives a lot of other men every one a piece of this Pajer that is written on. The man that the paper is given to takes the types and fixes them one after another so that they read what the Paper reads. A man then takes the word and puts them in a box as they are to be in the papers; then Le takes thw Box and places it in some machinery that makes it go back and forth ; then there is a boy who stands over tho machinery and puts the paper on the? mnchinery, and then some hook bring it down over the box with the types in and the types have ink on the types print on the paper then there i hookt that take the paper up and lay it on another machine that folds it up and then they will stll them tho end. 0 0 n
