Physical Training for (Jlrls.
Thcro ia some danger nt tho present
day that the claims of Intellectual edu
cation, which nro being so strongly put
loiwnni, may navo mo eneci or post
poning, or of causing to be neglected,
those of tho euro and cultivation of bod
ily powers. In sonic respects we have
rushed from a state in which too llttlo
euro wus given to mental development
Into one where Intellectual work pre
dominates. It Is well that now und
then ti word of warning should ho raised
to remind urdent lovers of learning that
children have bodies as well ns minds,
and that tho bodies' cannot bo neglected
or mismanaged without showing ut no
distant Interval, nnd in uo uncertain
wny, tho ill-clVcuta of tho treatment to
which they huvo been subjected.
Very little Inquiry Is necessary to es
tablish tho fact that the practice of
physical oxercises, und tho pursuit of
any thing like regulated gymnastic work,
in tho exception, instead of being thu
rule, in girls' schools. Kvcn those
"culisthoiuV1 exercises which with girls
are supposed to tvko tho place of gym
nastlo exercises among the Iniys are
from being universally tuught. The
Tho consequence of this neglect of ex
ercise is, thnt thu muscular develop
ment of girls ia muoh hindred, ami thev
jfrow up weak, flaccid, nervous, inatend
of being vigorous, well Mruug, and
knowing nothing of nerves but their
names.
Thu condition of affairs is partly the
result of a fear that ghis may grow up
up to bo hoydcnlsh, nnd that they' may
loso soma of tho sweet grace ami mod
esty which nre so exiiuuiito when they
exist in girlhood, Partly also, the ab
stinence from physical exercise has been
tho result of dislike of trouble on the
part of those who have charge of young
girls. Tho dally wulk in procession by
.two and two is a performance not difli
uult to regulate, und external order is
easy to keep.
Again, games would necessitate play
grounds or play rooms, uud schools are
often fur too limited In space to allow
of such luxuries. It is also a matter by
no means to be ignored that the fash
ion of clothing, which p-trc nta arc fl
to adopt for their girla am not In tho

There Is a kind of exercise in which

(leueral Jackson's Wife.
Jackson wa it joung luwicr. He
wns on his way from Tennessee to somo
town In, Kentucky to nttend court. He
was passing through what is now either
Warsaw or Hnrrou County in tho Green
river country, which was then quitethin
ly settled nnd tho most of it covered
with timber. Approaching a lone cab
in In thu roatl, he beard thu cries of a
woman, whluh grew more and more
distinct the nearer he approached the
house. Spurring up (lie animal lie was
riding, ho soon readied thu cabin, and,
alighting from his horse, entered It to
Hud n shoemaker beating his wife with
his great strap of leather. The sounds
ho had heard proceeded from her throat.
Disregarding tho old admonition, nev
er to Interfere between husband ami
wife, ho caught tho man's arm und
compelled him to desist from Ills dia
bolical paMlmo. Then half shoving
him, half kicking him into the yani,
ho told thu fellow to clear qut. ''You
confounded scoundrel!" he exclaimed;
"leave thu country immedlataly and
nuver let mo hear of your showing
your fiitu to this woman again. My
mitiiu is Andrew .Jackson, I am it law'
er. 1 am going up here to court, but
I will return to this place every day or
two until I am sure that you nru so far
away that you can cause thu lady no
more disturbance. If sliu has no' one
cNu to protect her, I will do It."
The positive manner of thu young ad
vocate convinced the cowardly husband
that his udveisttry meant what lie siad.
So he took Jackson's advance and
cleared out.
Jackson visited tlm woman, ns he had
avowed he would, and from becomine
interested in her case became Interested
in her and she iu him. In the course
of a ear ho procured it decree of di
vorce for the woman from her husband,
and then married her. The marriage
was it quiet one, und occurred near
Nashville. The name of his wife's
lirst litisliaml was Roberts, and her own
maiden name was Donaldson. Hop
kins suvs that shu wa an Illiterate wo
man, but had n very kind heart, and
was always it good, true and worthy
wife of Jackson.
Soon after thu marriage Jackson de
termined to emigrate to what was then
tho Territory of Mississippi. Here thu
report became current that ho had nev
er been married to thu woman with
whom ho wits living. "I wns married
to her," hu said "in Tennessee, in the
presence of two witnesses; but if It
will be any gratltlcation to thu people
hero to have us married again, I am
willing." "And sure enough," vuldMr.
Hopkins, " off hu goes uud is married
again."
Some time afterward Mr. Jucksore
and his wife went to Kentucky. Then
they found that Huberts, Mrs. Jack
soil's llrst husband, had been circula
ting the report that they never had
been married, llelng willing thnt all
Jmrtlcs should be satlslled on this point,
luckson went off and procured another
license nnd was again united in mar
riage with tho womnn ho bad rescued
from thu wrath of aula hiitcsoemnker.
Thus, though ho had but one wife, (.Jen
oral Jackson was thrice married.
Tho knot so well tied never grew
slnck. Jackson always loved bis wife.
Mr. Hopkins tells an incident illustra
ting his duvotlon to her. Hopkins had
remained over night at the (ienoral's
house after tho duuth of his wife. One
morning lie arose very early and start
ed to walk toward the old family cem
etery. He approached rather close to
the grave of Mrs. Jackson, and was
urprlcl to find thn General hltnsrlf
knerllng orr It. He rrlreatd til foot
steps as soon na posslblr, but not tost
soon for the quick eye of the old sol
illur to see blm. Afterward he spoke to
him about the matter, and said that the (
act In which hn (Hopkins) had iwhelil
him was no uncommon one. Kvery
mornini! hn said, he went tothegr.iw
for he thought that the proH-r place
for him to conduct hla religloi's devo
Hon was by the remains of ,ii- wife ,
w ho bad so great and abiding a faith In
the gracloufiiess of tho Killer of thu .
Lnherse. Ihnrrr Tnhune,
lalt I'MdHkUFly!
An Interesting lecture on the aIhiiu
subject was delivered by Mr, llrenrey,
tho honorable Secretary of tho Aero
nautical Society III 1.0011011, a few weeks
airo, in which hu explained the princi
ples upon which aerial tint (gallon must
be conducted, and Indirectly condemned
the proposal to reai'b the polo by means
of balloon. Flight, he said, was mere
ly it mechanical action capable of Imi
tation; that it was unassisted by air
cell or other conveniences for elleeting
levity, and that the balloon, as a means
of locomotion, was Useless to man, ex
cept in the way of aftage Having
explained the rudiment of aerial sci
ence, and detailed the various experi
ments made by Kngllsh and foreign In
ventors, showing what their pi ogress
bad been, he pointed out the curious
fad that light as the atmosidiere is in
proportion to the weight of water, tho
rarer medium was capable of suppott
iug a cieature much heavlertliau ilxelf,
while water, h(H) times heavier, only
supports a ti ill of about equal weight,
bulk for bulk. Tho currents, too, which
eicalures iu the rarer clement bad to
cope with, were out of all proportion to
thoMi of water. This apparent anomaly
was capable of explanation It was due.
as be said, to Might by a merely me
chanical action. Supposing lisli bore
the anmo proportional weight to their
elemental medium a hlids do to the
attnosphcie, they would have to lie
made of something heavier than plati
num. Aslt was. a ilsh was really a bird
without wings. Ho gave some curious
compai isotis helw een different birds ami
insect us to the surface they presented
to the atmosphere and their weight.
Thus the gnat was ;:,(s),lSK) time less
weight than thu Australian crane, but
presented In proportion 1 10 time more
sut face to tin air; and between these
two tbeio were almost all gradations.
In these Investigation lay some of tlm
most hopeful (net whle'h seemed to
render aerial navigation possible, ami
If man could gel sutlleicut surface, he
could certainly get sulllctcnt machine
power for propulsion. It wu not so
much it oticstiou of power a of tho
right application of power. Then; was
also the question of balance. The man
ner in which it bird kept its balance
while Its wings nru being energetically
worked alternately above nnd below its
center of gravity wits marvelou. Mr.
Hrearey thought that with thu recent
example of thu bicycle thu question of
lialance would not present much ditll
cully. Ho then touched on thu applica
tion of steam to thu navigation of the
air. Until lately it had been thought
that this was Inadmissible as a motive
power, because of the cumbrous meth
od of Its generation, but it has been de
clared that when steam could be gener
ated und applied with a weight not ex
ceeding twenty pounds per horsu power
tho problem would soon ho solved. This
had been accomplished, and they would
hiqw that the prognostication would
be true. Mnn might not lm able 'to
reach tho mechanism of a bird, but they
might nil reach thu problum In another
wny. Many wore now working ut the
problem in secret In secret, partly
from fear of ridicule, and partly front
want of protection by patent. Tho at
titude of (lie Aeronautical Society to
ward inventors was explained, andthen
the lecturer concluded by asking wheth
er hu had not shown just canst; for fur
ther research Into this most Interesting
Miblcet.
'I ho lecture had considerable interest
ndded to it by various demonstrations
given by Mr. llrenrey, Illustrating dif
ferent modes of flight, including flight
by proiection, gravity, force, surface
ami weight, ami propulsion by a plaue
surface. His models of bats swooped
down upati thu uttdlencu In a manner
quite natural. Thu bird, too, rosu in
graceful motion its they traversed tlm
air from thu platform to the oilier end
of tho room, or, swerving to the right
or left, bobbed their beaks upon thu side
wall. One large model of an albatross,
with it spread of wing reaching twelve
ami n-half feet (the average siu of thu
living bird) came to grief upon a gas
pendant just a It wa bending it flight
into tlm regions of thu upper air. Hugo
butterflies were also sent flying about
thu room.
Clover uml Clover Seed.
For tho great majority of American
farmer thu clover plant afford thu
cheapest and best means for renovating
exhausted hind. It Is not nov neces
sary to inquire whether clover actually
Increases fertility or makes it more ea
sily available for thu present crops.
Years bunco this will be an interesting
question, but for ti long time to come nil
that farmers need nsk Is, how to mnko
thu soil produce maximum crops of
grain und grass. Whoever does this
need not fear thnt tkc grain will not
sell for enough to supply thu waste of
fertility which they cause. When this
timu comes, as it never will, no skill In
farming can make the business profit
able. In other words, the men who
supply the wot Id with bread, will only
partly earn their own, nnd make up
the dcticieney by exhausting their capi
tal. The bare statement of such it po
sition curries with it the best refutation
of fallacy. Looking nt the condition of
farming through a period of twenty
llvo years, I rind thnt xvhenover good
farming has been practiced, thcro has
been a ucclded increase of fertility, that
larger crops are grown than 10 or V2
years ago, and that good farmers are
yearly becoming less dcMndcnt on thn
season for protltablu result.. Most of
this improvement is duo to tho use of
clover; other inttuenccs nave noipett,
but without clover all tho manuring and
undcrdrainlnir that have been expended
on land would only sufllco to maintain,
fertility, without perceptible improve

General William S Hartley, of this
city, when a voung man, had the repu
tation of being thu swiftest runner iu
the army, us well a the best Indian
lighter. "Ho was Hutriot disciplinarian,
but not one of thn "stuck Up" kind o
common nowadays. He would often
mingle with his men when not on duty,
and laugh nnd Joke with them on term
of familiarity, and went so far at times
as to compete with them in the exciting
sport of foot-racing.
An impression prevailed at one time
that almost any Indian could outrun a
urlill.a nt.m l.i.t ?.., . ..! It..,... I...
,.,., thttt H0 cou,i t;nt rtnv red rascal
that wore moccasins, and whenever he
met a warrior that boasted of his llect
nes of foot, he took great pleasure In
giving him atrial, and always came out
ahead. Only once did he fall to reach
the winning-post before his adversary,
and that was by a "foul."
The affair occurred at Fort Winneba
go iu tho winter of 18,'K), when Fox riv
er was froren over, nnd the weather
wn.s very cold. An Indian had com
mitted some breach of tho rules of the
garrison, for which Harney, then a cap
tain, concluded to administer a flog
ging. Ho always believed In giving
every man n fair chance, white or rcil,
and on this occasion ho conducted the
Indian some distance up the river, and
giving him a hundred varrls thu start,
told blm if ho reached a certain point
without being overtaken he would e
capo thu flogging. The race was on tho
Ice, which at somo places wan thinner
than nt others, on account of tho form
ation of air-holes. Moth men wore
moccasins, and both were stripped and
belted for the race, Harney swinging a
cowhide in his hand, with which he
confidently expected to accelerate the
movements of tho Winnebago on over
taking him. At tho word "pi," both
stnrtetl nt full speed, tho Indian doing
his best to save his hide, and tho white
man doing bis best to save his reputa
tion as a runner. Harnev gained rap
idly on tho warrior, and was getting
ready to swing bis rawhide, when tho
cunning savage made an oblique move
ment toward a spot where the ice wits
thin, llelng of much lighter weight
than his pursuer, he passed over the
dangerous place in safety, but ns soon
as Harney stepped upon "the thin ice it
was shivered like gins, and down went
thu tall captain, sinking into tlio cold
water like it sea Hon. Heing a good
swimmer, n few strokes brought him to
the edgoof tho thick Ico.nnd clambering
upon it he made his way to hi quarter
spangled with icicles, nnd as mad as it
buffalo bull. Ho lost hi cowhide in the
water, but that was a small matter, us
tho Indian never returned to tlio fort
while thu Captain remained there.
Captain Harney's foot rncu afforded
"old Twiggs" occasion for manv a joke,
and it was it long timu before lie heard
the hist of it. St. Loui.i (Hole Demo
