"It uiny6c, after all, I'll get damn ed for my smartness," said Robert Ingersoll; before an applauding throng intfce Brooklyn academy of music last' sight, "but I'll take my cbaucc8."Mr. Ingersoll's theme was " Liberty frMan Woman and Child." ThejlectareiWaB uader the auspices oT-betYoang Men's Re publican clubVtfce lecturer to have half of the net roseipts.- A score of tall young men in swallow-tailcoats filed upon the stage, and las.t of all, like an opera tenor rushing ihrough the chorus, came the leefqrer, who swiftly strode o the foot-IIgh$s, and, without any ceremony, began : "In my judgment, after all, it is a question of intellectual develop ment.'' , : Mr. Tngersoll has a round head and a smooth, fat face. His hair is gray and thin on top, and his eyes are dark and bright. They seem al most buried in his round cheeks when he laughs. No public orator gesticulates bo much with the top most part of his body. Ingersoll, with a stiff neck, might be worth only $100 a night Now he refuses offers at $G00 a night. He tips his forehead this or that way, and has a most effective nod. lie throws in an exclamation point with a uod. "Honor bright" is a favorite reitera tion. "It won't do!" is another which he emphasizes with a shake of the head. He is more theatrical than Beecher or Talmago. He. peo ples ' the platform with imaginary dummies, and then flails them to the delight of the audience. By constant recurrence to these he keepB them before his audience. Last night be had "a rude dugout in which floated a native savage one of our ancestors with teeth two inches in length, with a spoonful of brains in the back of his head." This, to start with, he seemed to place at a certain spot on the stage, and when he went over that way tb audience instinctively recalled his description, and was prepared to hear something about the dugout. Mr. Ingersoll's voice is soft and melodious. His manuer and move ments upon the stage, with his wonderful nod, are the elements of bis success as a popular orator. "I was once iu the company of some Baptist ministers," said In gersolj.4;! don't how I ever got there, and they asked ray opinion as to baptism. I said that with soap I regarded it as an excellent institu tion. If you tell me what a man's religion Is I'll tell yon what is the high-water mark of his intellect just how many he carries to the pouud. "When a man thinks that he baa found it all out, ho is orthodox. The man in a dngout is orthodox. Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy is a coffin. Heresy is a banner; ortho doxy ib the shroud. Heresy gives a new idea a welcome and a warm place by the fireside of his heart; orthodoxy regards the new idea as a tramp, and keeps bull-dogs in front of the house to frighten off every new idea that comes along." Referring to the lowest form of Bkull that had ever been found, he said that it was probably found in Delaware. "There has not been a patentable improvement on the devil for 6,000 years," said the lecturer. "I'll tell you what causes bronchitis among ministers. If you talk solemnly when you don't feel it, that makes bronchitis. Did you ever hear that an auctioneer had it? I call it par sonitis. Laughter. jThis is my doctrine: Give every other human being every right you claim for yourself. Keep your mind open to the: Jnflnences. of nature. Receive new thoughts with hospitality. The religionist of to-day wants the ship of his soul to. lie at tho wharf of orthodoxy and rot in the sun. Ho delights to hear the old opinions flap against the masts of old creeds. He loves to see the joints and the sides open and gape in the sun, and it is a kind of bliss for him to repeat, Do not disturb my opinions.' . As faras I am concerned, I wish to bo out on the high seas. I wish to take my chances with the wiud and wave aud star. And I had rather go down in the glory and grandeur of the storm than to rot iu any ortho dox harbor whatever. "After all, we are improving from age to age. The most orthodox peopleja the country two hundred years &gb Vonld have been burned for the crime of heresy.. The min isters who denounce me for ex pressing, my thought would have been in the Inquisition themselves. Our fathers worshipped the golden calf.

"When tho great ship containing the hopes and aspirations of the world ; when the great ship freight ed with mankind goes down in the night of death, chaos, and disaster, I am willing to go down with the ship, with those who love me, and with those whom I have loved, and I will not be guilty of the ineffable meanness of sneaking ashore in some orthodox canoe." Pleading for liberty for the child, Mr. Ingersoll said: "The laugh of a child will make tbe holiest day more sacred still. Strike with hand of fire, Ob, weird musician, thy harp strung with Appollo's golden hair; fill tbe vast cathedral aisles with symphonies sweet and dim, deft toucher of the organ keys; blow, bugler, blow, until thy silver notes do touch and kiss tbe moonlit waves, anu charm the lovers wandering mid the vino-clad hills. But know, your sweetest strains are discords all, compared with childhood's hap py laugh the' laugh that fills the eyes with light and every heart with joy. O I rippling river of laughter, thou art the blessed boundary line between the beasts and men, and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fretful fiend of care. Oh, Laughter, rose-lipped daughter of Joy, there are dimples enough in thy cheeks to catch and hold and glorify all the tears of grief." New York Sun, 30th. Swiss Farming- I have wondered if there are.such awkward ways of doiug things out side of Egypt as are practised here. The farming implements would be laughable If they were not mon strous. Tubal-Caiu certaiuly made belter-formed scythes than are, used here. The axes are simply long sharp wedges. with a hole uear tbe top, and a short, straight thick stick in the hole for a handle. Forks are big and awkward, aud twice as heavy as our stable forks. Grain is oftener threshed with the old-fashioned flail than otherwise. I won der they do not tramp it out with oxen. It would be a slower processs, and how to be slow is made a special study here. The ploughs are the climax of agricultural monstrosities. They are great cumbersome things, made almost wholly of wood, with the beam mounted on two wooden wheels big enough for coal carts. My friend used just such a plough yesterday on our farm. I half deny ownership now, when I tbiuk of it. It was pulled by six cows. Two men were driving the cows, and two men were holding the plough up. I followed and looked on. They were half a day ploughing half an acre. I am glad the whole concern, plough-men, cow-drivers, and all, were hired, aud not a part proper of the farm. I sat on a stone wall for half an hour and reflected whether it were possible Americans could not make small special farm ing profitable, with their soil and implements for farming, in the face of the fact that these people not only make a living, but save money, on a poor soil and with the old-fashioned tools of Egypt to work it. I am certain the whole secret lies in economy ; in the saving of a hun dred little things that shall outbal ance even the waste of the awkward implements and these slow methods. There will not a blade of grass be seen among the vines here,, nor a weed on the farm. There will not be a twig of woo?d left to rot or a potatoe undug. A gentleman's pri vate garden could not be cleaner er better kept than is the whole farm in Switzerland, and cultivation,suuh as is bestowed only ou hothouses in America, is common hero to every farm. Not one foot of ground is left uncared for. It may take a good deal of time, with such slow bands to do it, but it is done. Not a chip, not a straw is wasted. "We put this little thing and that little thing together," said my friend, "and at the end of the year it makes a good deal." One cannot afford waste or bad farming on land at five or six or ten hundred dollars an acre and more. H. M. S. Byers in Harper's Magazine for April. A Boy's Ewtaj om Boards. There are several, kinds of boards sign -boards, base -boards, dash boards, clapboards, aide - boards, pasteboards, and school boards. I think I will write about Bchool boards because my sister is a teacher, and I can remember a good many things she has said about them, and that will help me some. I don't know whether school boards are madebf green lumber, or not. I heard my sister say once, they wasn't half-baked. Guess she meant it wasn't kiln-dried. May .be ibe it warped, and turned over on the wrong side, or may be It shrunk badly, when exposed to the dry question of wages. School boards are of different shapes, Borne are squares and pol ished, on both sides; some are longer than they are broad, and so thin that they bend under slight pressure. I aBked my sister what kind of a board ours was, and she said it was a good-looking board, but when put to any use it was full of slivers. There was a young lady staying I ytWVi m i aicfop tVta airanlnrp T aras I writing this, and she said sho tho't some of the board would make good hitching posts. I asked herif it was becauso tbey were such big sticks. She said that wasn't it. Then they both laughed ; they thought I didn't know what they meant but I did, because I saw Mr. Jones take her to church, and he is a member of the board, and she acted as if she thought he would be good to tie to. The Bchool-bbard is used for the purpose of getting the cheapest teachers they can find whether they know anything or not, and to vote down women's wages and leave men's as they are. This kind of board is elected by the people, most ly men. They most always get tbe closest grained they can find; then when the teachers say they don't get pay enough the people say it is the board. The teachers say tho people has no right to get such hard wood for their board and the board says "what,are you going to do about it?" Sometimes there is a weak, place in the board, and when' thrown against some hard question it splits and goes all to pieces; then tbey either get a new one, or stick the old pieces together .again with taffy. My sister says there is too much slaug in this, but father says slang is mighty and shall prevail. He knows because he is a man. Men know ev erything, because they can vote. Sometime I will write about oth er kinds of boards, if you have not been too badly bored with this. Literary Notes. Nei'i KlgktN. BY AUNT RUTH. An agent was around the other day who wanted me to subscribe for the Woman's Journal. I told him J had no particular objection, inas much as the paper mentioned is very good of its kind, but that I was sorry he was not also agent for a Man's Journal, as in that case I would subscribe for a half dozen, copies immediately. He did not seem to understand upon what plat form such a journal would be con ducted, as men were supposed to have their rights now. I will cou dense my reply and put it in a more connected form than I probably did in the course of a rather lively con versation. "If men have all their rights there are some which they d not always exercise. I would have a man's journal advocate first of all the right and duty of men to be pure. Many of our boys imbibe tbe idea with their growth that looseness of con duct is a necessary accompaniment of genius and power; they need to learn instead that virtue is one of manhood's inalienable rights, aud that he -who parts with his chastity makes a worse bargain than did Esau, when he sold his birth-right for a mess of pottage. "Secondly, I would have tbe jour nal advocate the right of all men to be clean. It is time for our boys to know that they will not suffer any loss of caste among their fellow-men if they do not stain the corners of their mouths and coat their teeth with tobacco juice, or smoke, until the poisonous nicotine permeates every pore of their clothing with an odor of stale tobacco. - "Thirdly, the journal should teach men the right to be reverent. If a man has a balky horse, or a knotty stick of wood that won't split, it does not help either one to swear at it, and the curses which he calls down upon the object of bis wrath must inevitably descend upon his own head. "By all means, then, let Bomebody start " The Man's Journal" at once, for supposing we get all the rights which the most Banguine of our sex demand, what will they avail us, if we must marry men who swear and smoke, and chew, who are intemper ate and licentious; and then live lives of slow torture, as we see our children grow up to indulge in the vices which they have inherited from their fathers?" Farm Jour. Cheese Made From Potatoes. A foreign paper, says that cheese is made from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony. After having collect ed a quantity of potatoes of good quality, giving the preference to a large white kfnd, they are boiled in a canldron, and, after becoming cool, they are reduced to a pulp, either by means of a grater or mor tar. To five pounds of this pulpj which ought to be equal as possible,, is added one pound of sour milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The .whole iekueaded together and the mixture covered up and allowed to lie for three or four days according, to the season. At the end of this timet it Is kneeded anew, and the cheeses are placed in little baskets, when the superfluous moisture es capes. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in lay ers in large vessels, where they must remain for fifteen days. The older thesek cheeses ar tbe more their quality improves. Three kinds are made. The first and most common is made as detailed above ; the sec ond, wUh four parts of potatoes and two parts of curded milk; the third with two parts of potatoes and four parts of cow or ewe milk. These cheeses have this advantage over other kinds theyfdp not, engender worms ; aad they keep .fresh for a. number of years, provided tbey are placed, in -a dry situation and in well classed vessels. Norfolk Journal. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA. A Xan Bitten bj a Mad Do Dim Alone In the Woodi of Hydrophobia, Hating Chained Illm Mirto a Tree that' He Might not Injure Hli Wire and. Children, Washington, March 26. A Dal las (Texas) letter says: A tragic death has just occurred in our neigh boring county worth relating and worthy of Virginius or any other Roman father. One year ago George Arnold came to Dallas on private business, and while walking the streets he was bitten by a worthless cur which was frothing at the mouth' and showing symptoms of hydro phobia. Mr. Arnold became alarm ed and very much excited when convinced in bis own mind that tbe dog was mad. He went to a phy sician and had the wound severely cauterized, then going home. He was still very uneasy and dreaded hydrophobia, so much so that be hunted up a mad-stone and had it applied for several weeks off and on, and the other day he began to ex perience strange feelings, and at once concluded that his time had come. He then procured a twelve foot trace chain and strong lock and went to the woods. After writing his wife a calm letter, in which he told her what was about to happen, giving directions 'as to his wishes after death, and pouring out a vol ume of love for her and their chil dren, he ran tho chain around a tree, drew it through tho largo ring at the end and then wound tbe other end around his ankle so tight that it wouldn't Blip over the foot, fastened it with the lock and threw the key far beyond his reach. The body was found two days after, still chained to the tree. There was all the evi dence necessary to show tho horri ble death from hydrophobia. The ground was torn up to tho full length of tbe chain, the, nails of the fingers wrenched off and all his front teeth out in scratching and biting the tree, and every-tbread of clothing off hia body. . The body was dread fully lacerated with these, the only weapons the madman could use. He had judged rightly what would have been the consequence bad hq remained at home, and knowing that no human skill could have cured hint, preferred death alone and iu that way to doiiig harm to those so near and dear to him as wife and children.

Winds Wowing from south or east or from directions between those points are most likely to be follow ed by rain or snow; while winds blowing from northwest or south west or from directions between those points are more likely to be followed by fair weather. We ought to be just as tolerant of an imperfect creed as we" are of an imperfect practice. Everything which can be urged in excuse for the latter may also be pleaded for tho former. If the way to Christian ac tion is beset by corrupt habits and misleading passions, the path to Christian truth is overstrewn with prejudices, and strewn with fallen theories and rotting systems, which hide it from pur vipw. , It 'is quite as bard to think rightly as it is to act rightly,- or oven to feel righ tly, and as all allow that an error is a less culpable thing than a crime or a vicious passion, it is monstrous that it should be more severely pun ished ; it is monstrouB that Christ, who was called the friend of pub- utauo auii diuuoioi ouuum ud iCU- resented as the pitiless enemy of bewildered seekers after truth. "I tell you," said Mr. Washington McLean, of Cincinnati, the Warwick of the democratic party in Ohio in the good old days of that' now de moralized organization, to a friend. in Washington the other day, "I tell .yon the democratic party is a played- out quantity.; They stand up in the senate .like a lot of sheep and take whatever is given them, and if any body threatens, to knock them on tbe nose, they at once apologize for having poses. Where are our Conk- lings, our Blaines, our Hoars, our Logans,. our Fryes ? We haven't got fern. The republican party is the party of pluck and audacity, while ours has become tbe organization of stupidity and cowardice. I'm sick of tbe democratic party." Something noble, something good, something pure, something manly, something godlike, is. knocked, off a man every -time begets' drank or stoops to sin through forgetfulness of God. To Subscribe.
