The World'.- Think.-!-..
Tbe individual might and worth
of the thinker depends upon quiet
and serdnity. The hest thought has
been evolved from minds free from
cjirking care and the grinding des
potism of petty circumstances. Upon
individual celebrity depends the
might of a nation's literature The
world's greatest authors have been
enumerated insido of a hundred
numbers; the great authors of any
one nation can be told upon the fin
gers. The names of Shakespeare,
Chaucer, Milton, Pope, aud "Words
worth represent England's greatness
in the field of poetry.
In sunny Italy, with her myriad
painters, sculptors aud architects,
thelitcraturc ofthecountry is confin
ed to onljr a few great names
Dante, one of tho world's greatest
poets, Bocaccio, Petrarch, Michael
Angclo, and Raphael the latter ones
merely 6onncttccrs. Spain had her
Oalderon, Cervantes, and Lope dc
Vega, although the latter was only
a monstrously prolific triflcr in the
world of letters. Little Portugal
has only her one poet, Camoens.
Germany, the fatherland of thought,
has but a few bright geniuses whose
names will survivo a thousand years
Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Itich
tcr and France none at all of that
dignity, not excepting Racine, Ra
belaise, Voltaire, and Flugo.
Our own country, it may bo Baid
in all humility, has not produced
one author of such classic prowess
that ho may vio with any of the
authors above mentioned. Even
Emerson and Longfellow will not be
permitted to live in the archives of
fame until their celebrity has been
canonized by tho verdict of futurity.
As yet they can be placed on no
higher plane than Tennyson and
Curlyle. Time only will tell the
truth about them.
In Greece, tho mother of all na
tions in literature, the school of all
later ambitions, there aro five fa
mous names of tho first magnitude,
Homer, JEachylus, Plutarch, Plato,
JJcinoptnencs ; in iconic as many
more, Horace, Virgil, Caar, Cicero,
and Juvenal. They have given hu
manity assurance of its greatness;
they arc now as hostages of human
ity in tho realm of perpetuity. Their
brethren of lower degree aro gradu
ally sinking out of sight in the limbo
of oblivion. Those nations which
failed to produce any distinguishing
lights in literature, will in time
nomo to be considered merely bar
barous, or at best, mediocre.
The Middlo Ages have been called
the Dark Ages ; darkness, ignoraucc,
and superstition arc said to have
prevailed. Tho monks were said to
have 6lcpt their lives away; the
whole period has been depicted as if
it were a hideous nightmare. This
is a mistaken impression. If the
reader will but consider ours as a
new world, quite apart from the old
classic world just as the world that
began with Noah was different from
tho world that began with Adam
he will see a new light dawning on
this Renaissance of thought the
spring-time of a new era in litera
ture. The times of the German and
Euglish Reformations, and the
French and American revolutions
may then be compared to the summer-time
folllowing, with fierce and
fiery heats ; and our own degenerate,
or rathor mature day, is the autumn
of this great era of thought; we are
now in tho 6cre and yellow leaf, as
regards literature, and the occasion
al pre-Raphaelite glints of color,
against a soberer back-ground, are
only tho gorgeons dyes and tints of
early autumn, presaging blight.

Tabic Manners.
Nothing is so important in the
training of a family of children
(after teaching them reverence and
to tell tho truth), as to givo them
good table manners, 6ays an article
in Uarper's Bazar, from which rfVc
taken these extracts:
It is said by foreigners to be a great
national defect with us Americans.
"We do not, as a nation, comport our
selves well at the table. In the first
place, wo cat too fast, and arc apt to
make a noise over our soup. Well
bred people put their soup into their
mouths without a sound, lifting up
their spoon 6lowly, thinking about
it, and managing to swallow it
noiselessly. In the second place, we
aro accused of chewing our food
with the mouth open, and of putting
too much in tho mouth at once.
Again, we are accused, particularly
at railway stations aud hotels, of
potting our heads in our plates, and
of eating with tho knife instead of
with tho fork. Some pcoplo cat in
stinctively and with great elegance;
some never achievo elegance in these
minor matters, but all should strive
for it. There is no more repulsive
object than a person who oatR nois
ily, grossly, inelegantly. Dr. John
son is remembered for his brutal way
of eating almost as much as for his
great learning and genius. With
him it was selfish preoccupation.
Fish and fruit are eaten with silver
knives and forks ;-or, if silver fish
knives are not provided, a piece of
bread can bo held in the left hand.
FJsh corrodes a steel knife. Never
tilt a Boup-platc for the last drop, or
scrape your plate clean, or drain
yonr wine-glass to the dregs. Leave
something for 'manners' a good
old rule. A part of tabic manners
should be the conversation. By
mutual consent, every one should
bring only the best that is in him to
the tab6. There should be tho
greatest caru taken in tbe family
circle to talk of only agreeable top
ics at meal" The mutu.il forbear
ance which prompts the neat dress,
the respectful bearing, the delicate
habit of eating, the attention to table
etiquette, should also make the mind
put on its best dress, and the effort
of any one at a meal should be to
Oiake himself or herself as agreeable
as possible. No one should show
any haste in being left until the last.
It is always proper at an informal
meal to ask for a second cut, to say
that rare or undono beef is more to
your taste than tho more cooked
portions, to ask for another glass of
champagne or sherry. But one
never asks twice for soup or fish;
one i rarely helped twice at dessert.
These dishes, also salad, are sup
posed to admit of but one helping.
UntoLD the Teacher. It is an
undeniable, and greatly to be re
gretted fact that many parents of
pupils in our excellent public school
here, never take so much interest in
their children's education to visit
the school, to S30 how it is conduct
ed, or what progress is being mado
or ever giving the children or teach
er a word of good cheer and encour
agement. But on tho olhor hand if
a child complains of their teacher,
instead of hushing such complaint
(which 18 the proper thing to do un
til tho facts of the case aro known,
at least), they abuse the teacher, and
encourage tho child in mean-doing,
and if the teacher has stamina and
back-bouo enough to stand up for
his rights, and severely chastise the
unruly pupil, these parents loso con
trol of their better judgment enough
to make threats and a great ado.
Hut what good dons that do? Tho
idea of somo great bi
burly, lub
lo " put a
cl
berly
cuss
threatening
head on" a nice, refined, cultured
little school ma'am I Why it only
liceuses the children to see how
mean they can be, and urges tho
teacher to lay on with the gad till
she cuts to the hide. Now you pa
rents who find fault with tho teacher
instead of the children when a re
port is brought home, think of this
matter candidly. Give your boys
and girls to understand they must
mind the teacher; allow them not to
bear petty talcs, and you will soon
discover that no teacher will punish
a child intentionally that docs not
deserve it. A successful school
must have, the hearty co-operation
of teacher and parent. This advice
is gralis,howover. Doniphan Index.
The .tied leal IJfceN or Egg.
For burns and scalds thero is noth
ing more soothing than tho white of
an egg, which may be poured over
the wound. It is softer as a varnish
for a burn than collodion, and being
always on hand can be applied im
mediately. It is also moro cooliug
than the "swecT oil of cotton," which
was formerly supposed to bo the
surest application to allay tho smart
ing pain. It is the contact with tho
air which gives tho extreme discom
fort experienced from ordinary acci
dents of this kind ; and anything
which excludes air and prevents in
flammation is tho thing to be at once
applied. The egg is also considered
one of the best remedies for dysen
tery. Beaten up lightly, with or
without sugar, and swallowed at a
gulp, it tends, by its emollient qual
ities, to lessen the inflammation of
tho stomach and intestines, and by
forming a transient coating on these
organs to enable nature to assume
her healthful sway over the diseased
body. Two, or at most three, eggB
per day would be all that would be
required in ordinary cases, and,
since tho egg is not merely a medi
cine, but food as well, the lighter tbe
diet otherwise, and the quieter tbe
patient is kept, the more certain and
rapid is the recovery.
3ItK.peHt Evening.
The boy who spends an hour each
evening lounging idly on street
corners wastes inra year three hun
dred and eixty-fivo precious hours,
which if applied to study, would
familiarize him with the rudiments
of almost any science. If in addi
tion to wasting an hour each even
ing ho spends ten cents for cigars,
which is usually the case,the amount
thus worse than wasted, would pay
for ten of the leading periodicals of
tho country. Boys, think' of these
things. Think how much money
you aro wasting, for what? The
gratification afforded by the lounge
on the corner or the cigar, is not
only temporary but positively hurt
ful. You cannot indulge in them
without seriously injuring yourself.
You acquire idlo and wastoful hab
its, which will cling to you with
each succeeding year. You may in
after life shake them off, but tho
probabilities are that tho habit thus
formed in early life will remain
with you to your dying day. Be
warned then, in time, and resolve
that as tho hour spent in idleness is
gone forever, yon will improve each
passing one and thereby fit yourself
for usefulness and happiuess. JSx.

IgHorunce uad Crime.
Iguorance, we are constantly told,
is the parent of crime, and statistics
are furnished which show what a
large proportion of crimes are com
mitted by.lhe uneducated class. But,
how about the last two most start
ling crimes of the period the
Brighton, England, railway murder,
of which Mr. Gold was the victim,
and tho attempt on the life of Presi
dent Garfield? The perpetrator of
the Brighton murder was a Mr. Ar
thur Lefroy Mapleton, a man of
literary tastes and habits, and a
member of the United Art club.
The would-be assassin of President
Garfield was "a lawyer and theolo
gian," a man who could deliver
public lectures in defence of Chris
tianity, write a book on the proph
ecicB, aud aspire to a diplomatic
position. Ignorance, in the ordina
ry sense, was not what was tbe mat
ter with either of these men. They
were both well informed men. Ma
pleton is said to have been very
charming in society, and Guiteau is
represented as having a wonderfully
retentive memory. Yet they Btand
boforo the world to-day as crimiuals
without cxcubo, the utter wicked
ness of whose deeds must draw
down upon them the execration of
mankind. Let us remember these
cases, when we hear it confidently
assorted that reading, writing and
arithmetic aro going to work a moral
revolution in tho world. In ono or
two respects Guiteau and Mapleton,
or Lefroy, as he seenis to bo more
commonly called, decidedly resem
bled ono another. They both had
any amount of assurance, and would
undertako schemes thoy had no
means whatever of carrying out.
Thoy both were chronically hard up
and were obliged to live moro or
Ipss by their wits. Both may bo said
to havo been flighty, and to have
been unable properly to realizo the
difficulties in tho way of what they
proposed. Guiteau was fool enough
to believe ho could kill the president
and yet escape hanging; and Lefroy
saw no difficulty apparently in mur
dering a man by daylight on a rail
way train, possessing himself of his
monoy, and living comfortably ever
afterwards. To any average mind
cither idea would havo appeared
preposterous; but to these unfortu
nates tho impossible seemed qnitc
feasible. The most conspicuous dif
ference between tho two criminals
lies in tho fact that, while people in
stinctively shrank from Guiteau,
they woro rather alrractcd towards
Lefroy. There is ono leshou to bo
drawn from both cases, namely, that
harum - scarum, erratic people are
dangerous, moro dangerous in fact
than people of worse disposition, but
moro amenable to social control.
XKe Aee of Inventions.
Tho number of inventions that
have been mado during the past fifty
years is perhaps unprecedented in
the history of the world. Of course
inventions of benefit to tho human
race have boen made in all ages since
man was created, but looking back
for half a hundred years, how many
more arc crowded into the last fifty
than into any other fifty since re
corded history. The perfection of
tho locomotive and the now world
traversing steamship, the telegraph,
the telophono, the audiphone, the
sewing machine, the photograph,
chromo lithographic printing, the
cylinder printing press, the elevator
for hotels and other many storied
buildings, the cotton gin and the
spinning jenny' the reaper and mow
er, tho steam thresher, the steam
fire-engine, the improved process
for making steel, the application of
chloroform and ether to destroy
sensibility in painful surgery cases,
aud so on through a long catalogue.
Nor are we yet done in the field of
invention and discovery. The ap
plication of coal gas and petroleum
to heating and cooking operations
is only trembling on tho verge of
successful experiment, the introduc
tion of 6team from a great central
reservoir to general use for heating
and cooking is foreshadowed as
among tho coming events, tho arti
ficial production of butter has al
ready created consternation among
dairymen, and ho would be a bold
man who dared predict that cheese
would not next be obtained from
suet or some other product of the
slaughtered ox with equal success.
Tho navigation of the air by somo
device akin to our present balloon
would also seem to be prefigured,
and the propulsion of machinery by
olectricity is even now clearly indi
cated by the march of experiment.
There aro sorac.problems we have
hitherto deomed impossible, but arc
the mysteries of oven tho most im
probablo of them more 6ubtIo to
grasp than that of the ocean cable or
that of tho photograph or the tele
phone? We talk by cable with an
ocean rolling between ; we speak in
our own voices to friends a hundred
miles or more from whero we artic
ulalo before tho micbrophone. Un
der the blazing suns of July we

A good deal has beeu said through
the papers about the healthfulness
of lemons. The latest advice as to
how to use them so they will do tbe
most good ruus as follows: Most
people know the benefit of lemonade
before breakfast,, but few know how
it is more than doubled by faking
another at night, also. The way to
get the better of a bilious system
without blue pills or quinine, is to
take the juice of one, two or three
lemons, as tho appetite craves, in as
much ice-water as makes it pleasant
to drink, without sugar, before go
ing to bed. In the morning on ris
ing, or at least half an hour beforo
breakfast, tako tho jnico of one
lemon in a goblet of water. This
will clear tho system of humors and
bile, with mild efficacy, without any
of the weakouing effects of calomel
or congress water. People should
not irritate tho stomach by eating
lemons clear; the powerful acid of
tho juice, which is almost corrosive,
infallibly produces inflammation af
ter a while, but properly diluted, so
that it does not bum or draw the
throat, it does i(R full medicinal
work without harm, and when the
stomach is clear of food has abund
ant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.
A Cariosity in tho .Smithsonian.
Ono seos many curious things
whilo strolling through tho Smith
sonian institution. In one of the
cases thero h a small, irregular piece
of matting, about six inches long
and two or three wide. It is made
of tho bark of the southern cane, and
although coarso when compared
with tho matting mado by the Chi
nose, it is well and neatly made.
This small piece of man's handi
work might 'form the basis for
trcatiocs and lectures innumerable.
It was found on Petit Anse island,
near Vermillion bay, coast of Louis
iana. This island contains a mine of
rock salt, which was discovered dur
ing tho lato war, and which seems to
bo unlimited in depth and extent.
Not far from the surface of the salt
the piece of matting was discovered,
and it was probably preserved by
the salt. Two feet above the mat
ting woro found tho tusks and bones
of an elephant, and those bones were
fourteen feet below tho present sur
face of tho soil. The question irre
sistibly arises, how many years has
it been since elpphanls lived upon
this continent, aud what race of men
capable of manufacturing such mat
ting, lived aud flourished hundreds
of years boforo them? Washington

Ideals.
Every man has his ideal of somn
sort; someone toward which ho is
pressing. There is a farthor Phorc
of human desire and effort. To
some it lies among tho pleasures or
riches of tho world ; to others in the
direction of mere, worldly wisdom ;
to still others it may bo that just
visible lino of perfect boing, where
the soul, in the exercise of all its
powers, shall give praise in its every
moment. This impulse, which lies
buried in human nature, does not
always result in progress, either for
the individual or for society, owing
to the perverted judgments and de
praved tastes by which it is often
misdirected. We are all filled with
a restless energy which is pressing
ns forward toward something be
yond. Well it will be for us if that
something is true, lofty, spiritual.
If any man is satisfied with the pres
ent attainments, with what he is or
what he has accomplished, he is
blind to his own defects; has lost
the ambition of life. Ripe fruit is
garnered, or falls to the ground and
perishes. This is tho law of nature.

A doctor in Hamilton county,Now
York, uses carrier pigeons constaut
ly in his practice extending over two
townships. After visiting a patient
he sends tho necessary proscription
to his disponsary by a pigeon ; also
any other advice or instruction the
case or situation may demand. lie
frequently also leaves pigeons at
places from which ho wishes reports
of progress to bo dispatched at spec
ified times or at certain crises. He
says he is enabled to attend to a
third more business at least through
the timo saved to him by the use of
pigeons. In critical cases ho is able
to keep posted by hourly bulletins
from tho bedsido between daylight
and nightfall, and he can recall case
after case where lives have been
saved that must have been lost if he
had been obliged to depend upon
ordinary means of conveying in
formation. Mr. James McGuirc, wjio resides
four miles northwest of town, has
threshed out his small grain which
yielded him 2,100 bushels of wheat
and '100 bushols of oats, besides he
will have 2,000 bushels of corn. If
an eastern farmer harvested such a
crop ho would set himsolf up as a
millionaire, but it don't affect Ne
braska farmers that way, for they
go right along and do it over again
