Burlington Hawk-Eyetema. John B. Godon wears a tilter, to give more power to his coat tails. There has been so much rain in Iowa this spring that the grasshoppers wear India rubber boots. This is an easy year on editors. All "off years" in politics are. They don't have to lie so much nor so hard. The Iowa man who invented grasshopper soup has concocted a beautiful sauce of cockroaches and kerosene oil. A San Francisco paper says oysters have no feet. No feet? Then how in the name of common sense do they stand the climb it? An Arkansas editor says that his "head burns as he writes." Cut it off and pack it in ice for the summer, then. You don't need a head to edit a paper in Arkansas. Missouri is infested with caterpillars. Caterpillars are not so destructive to the crops as grasshoppers, but they are more unpleasant to have down one's back. The Republicans of Iowa are not a unit in their support of the president's policy, we know, but is that any reason why it should rain twenty-three times a week? A whole class of warriors graduated at West Point this week. Oh! If they should get loose and stray over into Europe, now, any of them; whew! then you might look out for war. The prince imperial's moustache, which was only grafted last June, has already grown long enough to wax. Ah, well! that is the way. If a man is rich he can have anything he wants. A bill has been introduced in the Spanish congress abolishing bull fights, and it has raised just 16,000 times as big a row as putting the Bible out of the public schools kicked up in this country. Russia pauses on the beautiful banks of the blue Danube, recoiling from the plunge it knows must be taken, like a shrinking boy brooding in pensive apprehension over a tablespoonful of castor oil. It doesn't do a bit of good to go to a picnic and stand on the river bank and admire the gorgeous sunset and talk about the tender beauties of nature to a man who has just sat down on a custard pie. An Ohio paper says "greenbacks should be made permanent." They certainly should. A Plucky Schoolmaster. The Hampshire county boys of a half-century ago will doubtless remember a certain young schoolmaster (whom we will call L.) who, in that day of wooden benches and black birch, had received a most brilliant reputation as a teacher of "hard schools." If there had been a Goldsmith among them, no doubt "the village schoolmaster" might have found an ideal in the person of a teacher, now an old Franklin county postmaster. Mr. L. is now past three-score and ten, but his eye still retains the fire which fifty years ago sent terror to the hearts of naughty urchins and vicious swains. In those days "keeping school" meant something besides object teaching, with discipline enforced by the fear of expulsion or suspension. The pedagogues stood par excellence in loco parentia, and the teacher whom the big boys by a combined attack could put out doors, was considered, especially in the country towns, a most inefficient person. Muscular Christianity was at a premium, and cowhiding under proper circumstances might be said to have been considered a means of grace. Such was the tone of public sentiment when the young schoolmaster whom we have mentioned, just returning to his home in Hamshire county, from a term of winter work, found an urgent summons awaiting him from the school committee of South Hadley. He might make his own terms, they told him, he might do just as little work as he pleased; in fact, he might do just what pleased him, in every respect, if he would only sit in the school-room and "keep" the school for a couple of months. The school was a hard one; two teachers had already been driven away, some of the older boys taking them out doors and ducking them in the snow within a week from the time they began, and to tell the truth, L. did not care to undertake the job, so he set his price at $20 a month and his board, a fabulous price for a district school-teacher in those days. Contrary to his expectations the committee accepted his terms, and the next day he took his place in the school. The big boys were elated at the thought of a speedy transposition of the stripling before them from the school-room to the snow-drift outside the door. During the morning the boys had pretty much their own way, whispering and talking aloud, throwing paper wads, and, in fact, indulging in the usual diversions of country school-boys, without let or hindrance. Causes of Commerce: Excess of hope or fear of American commerce made in some measure, by coats British returns. Theseences which have affected this country have generally like manner the commercialain, and thus effectively deprives here mainly to expectation, contraction of curtail cause. Unquestioned of American corporate done much to depress curtails which attribute depression here mainly to expectation, contraction of curtail cause.

The unexpected rise as is not unusual, great grain which had resulted advance, and more chiefly upon the commer land imported £1,634,000 from Russia, Germany France during May, 1875 £17,000 in value during 1876; and the unease from those countries disaster to European broke down the market American shippers had gregate imports of wheat 000 against £1,797,000 last year—a gain of £1,aggregate imports of Russia pauses on the beautiful banks of the blue Danube, recoiling from the plunge it knows must be taken, like a shrinking boy brooding in pensive apprehension over a tablespoonful of castor oil.

An Ohio paper says "greenbacks should be made permanent." They certainly should. We never saw anything so ephemeral as the greenbacks that we occasionally get hold of. They don't last long enough to count. Secretary Sherman announces that he will print no more two dollar greenbacks. Oh, all right, then; but we'd just like to know how editors are going to pay their board by the week after the present supply runs out. A barn near Columbus, Ohio, was burned the other night, and the charred remains of a tramp were found in the ruins the next day.

Then he starved the crow three or four days, turned him loose, and the emaciated bird went out into the field and devoured eleven bushels of seed corn. And he wasn't feeling very corn hungry either.

He immediately called out a class, but no sooner had they began to recite than there are most unearthly dinn. He repeated what he had just said,and added: "Any scholar that has any communication with another without leave,或 makes any unnecessary noise,会被罚了.I mean what I say." Again he began his recitation，when three ofthe largest and ugliest boys who occupiedthe same bench put their heads together and began to whisper and talk in most insulting manner.Drawinghis rawhide from his desk,the young school-master started for that back seatwitha fire in his eye that meant business,and seizing first sinner bythe collar,dragged him into middleofthe floor.Of course he hungtothe benchesand resistedthe teacherwithallhis might,but L.'s grit was up,and afterhe had strappedthe rascal wellhe performedthe same programmewithnumbertwo tillhe beggedfor mercy.The hen draggedoutthe third tremblingwretchand thrashedhim ad-libitum.Duringthe whole performancehe had not spokenaword,但nowhe saidagain: "The next scholar that has any communication with another without leave,或 makes any unnecessary noise,会被罚了.I mean what I say."

During the storm last Friday, one of Burlington's best young men was struck by lightning, but fortunately escaped serious injury. The bolt struck one of the points of his standing collar, but long before it could get down to the young man's neck, the electric fluid gave it up and curled up exhausted, about half way down the collar, used up. The government is in a state of grave perplexity and President Hayes never slept a wink last night thinking about it. West Point has just graduated another class of officers, and it is just going to gravel the administration the worst way to divide up the private soldiers in the army so as to give one or two of them to each of the officers for a command. The first Roman newspaper was called the Annales Maximi. It was only issued once a year, and then, not half an hour before it went to press, one of the reporters always came panting in with an item just eleven months old, that must go in if they had to stop the press. And there were crusty, particular old Romans who used to stop the paper for a year, just because the two preceding editions had missed them. The other day a Burlington boy started to carry home a yellow jacket's nest, to tie to the dog's tail to have some fun. He didn't get the nest all the way home, as it became so heavy he couldn't carry it, but he succeeded in coaxing most of the yellow jackets to accompany him the whole distance, and they supplied him with so much amusement that he hasn't once thought of fun or the dog since, and doesn't think he ever will. Whenever a southern gentleman has nothing else to do, he takes down an old, rusty confederate cavalry sabre, and publishes a card, stating that he captured it from a brave northern officer at some improbable battle, and desires to ascertain the gentleman's address, in order that he may return the sword. Sometimes, by prudent management, the same sabre has been made to do duty for eighteen or nineteen brave northern officers and chivalrous southern soldiers. Fidelity as an Apprentice. — The late Dea. Daniel Safford, of Boston, was a successful mechanic. Beginning life as a blacksmith, he conferred honor on his trade by high character, his thorough work, and his large business enterprises. He built up an extensive business, and accumulated a fortune, which was liberally used for benevolent objects. One secret of his success was his uniform fidelity, never slighting any work, but finishing everything that passed through his hands in the best manner possible. When he was an apprentice, he made this record in his journal: "Resolved to do work for my employer as faithfully as if I were doing everything for myself." Many clerks and apprentices make a great mistake in slighting their work when it is not subject to careful inspection. They draw a broad distinction between their own interests and the interests of their employers, and try to go on as easily as possible for themselves. Such young men rarely ever succeed in life, and they do not deserve to succeed. The inundation of 1771, which swept away a great part of the old Tyne Bridge, Newcastle, England, was long remembered and alluded to with emphasis as the "flood." A few years later, Mr. Adam Thompson was put into the witness box at the Assizes. The counsel, asking his name, received for answer, "Adam, sir—Adam Thompson." "Where do you live?" "At Paradise, sir." Paradise was a village about a mile and a half west of Newcastle, but now closely adjoining the town. "And how long have you dwelt in Paradise?" continued the barrister. "Ever since the flood," was the reply. What is this life but the circulation of little mean actions? We lie down and rise again, dress and redress, feed and grow hungry, work or play, and are weary; and then we lie down again and the circle returns.—Bishop Burnet. In winding up an article on the last corn crop, an Alabama editor remarked: "We have on exhibition in our sanctum a magnificent pair of ears." Away from Home visit a friend, however, first receiving a formal suitable preparations to receive you. I know that said about the grace receiving guests without rations for them, but not ticed.

On his evening, after he had door, the servant looked dow to see who was nizing his master in taking him for a strand. "The professor is now very well," replied Lessino I'll call another time! Causes of Commercial Depression. Excess of hope or fear as to the future of American commerce may be corrected, in some measure, by comparison with British returns. These show that influences which have affected the commerce of this country have generally affected in like manner the commerce of Great Britain, and thus effectively dispose of theories which attribute depression in business here mainly to expectation of resumption, contraction of currency, or other causes. Unquestionably distrust of American corporate management has done much to depress the value of securities and thus to bring embarrassment or ruin upon individuals, firms, banks, or other corporations which depended largely upon such securities. The severity of local taxation, resulting in part from the extravagance of local government and in part from the increase of municipal indebtedness, has also been an important cause of disaster. But the fact remains that the depression of business is mainly due to causes which operate in other countries. It was recently mentioned with surprise by an intelligent visitor that he found less evidence of distress or disaster in the United States than he had seen in Germany, and the returns of commerce show that the precise causes which have peculiarly disturbed American trade and industry, since the outbreak of war in Europe, have been not less potent in Great Britain. Chief among these was the speculative movement in breadstuffs and other articles of food. A sharp advance of 30 per cent. occurred in April; but before the end of May a large part of that advance had been lost. Exarmous quantities of grain and other produce had been purchased or shipped at speculative rates. The unexpected decline brought, as is not unusual, greater loss than the grain which had resulted from the previous advance, and, moreover, the loss fell chiefly upon the commercial class. England imported £1,634,000 in value of wheat from Russia, Germany, Turkey, and France during May, 1877, against only £417,000 in value during the same month in 1876; and the unexpected supply from those countries not only caused disaster to European speculators, but broke down the market upon which American shippers had relied. The aggregate imports of wheat were £3,285,000 against £1,797,000 during May of last year—a gain of £1,488,000—and the aggregate imports of articles of food A Solace for the Aged. In the decline of life, as the vigor of the system wages, and infirmities attack it to which in early life it was a stranger, the use of a safe medicinal stimulant is highly adriable. Nothing, as experience shows, is so admirably adapted to the wants of old people as Hostetter's Slomach Bitters. It is a real solace to the aged, and the best safeguard they can possibly use against the complaints to which they are peculiarly liable. It invigorates the body and cheers the mind, is para, agreeable and effective. Rheumatism, lumbago and gout are more frequently developed in age than in youth or in middle life. Hostetter's Bitters are an excellent remedy for those painful disorders, and also fortify the system against them. They never create undue excitement, are gentle in their action, and are infinitely purer than the unmedicated stimulants of commerce. An Antiseptic Burial Casket—New Method of Embalming. Dr. Samuel Rogers, of San Francisco, after having experimented for several years, has made a discovery which is of great interest to science, and to the medical profession in particular; and which is destined to effect an entire change in the present systems of embalming, or preserving the bodies of the dead. All the methods hitherto in vogue, although varying slightly in detail, depended upon the injection of preservative chemicals into the veins or arteries. Although this in a measure answered the purpose, it was not entirely successful, as the features were liable to change and discoloration, the method expensive and its success greatly dependent on the skill of the operator. Dr. Rogers employs for the purpose desired a casket of peculiar construction, and a newly discovered compound with which the body is washed. The casket is made with double walls, or with a recess in the bottom in which the chemicals are placed. After the subject is placed in the casket and the lid is seated, drawing out a small valve the chemicals begin slowly to evaporate and their action preserves the body. Before being placed in the casket the body is washed all over with the solution, and the process has the effect of preserving this body for an indefinite time without its showing any signs at all of decomposition. During the experiments in this direction by Dr. Rogers, extending over a period of years, the bodies of sheep, dogs, etc., were used, and it is only of late that any attempts with a human body were made; but the result of the experiments with the former leaves no doubt of the success of the process. If there had been any doubts they are removed now by the method having been applied to a subject obtained in a legal way from the city and county hospital, for anatomical purposes. We examined this subject last week, some 50 days after death; there was no sign of decomposition apparent. There was no odor whatever, and the limbs and joints are as pliable as when in life. The solution applied to the surface of the body passes in by the law of endosmosis, and seems to act upon every part of the body.

The SPRUCE has great strength,durable when exposed,and especially adapted to Bridge A similar mistake in speculation appears to have been made by the dealers in wool. The British imports rose from £2,248,000 in May, 1876, to £3,519,000 in May, 1877, and yet only £774,000 was exported during the month, against £1,645,000 in May, 1876. There was also a marked decrease in woolen goods exporting to about £125,000. Evidently the operators who had looked for an increased demand for wool and woolens, and had bought largely in that expectation, were disappointed. In food and wool the increase of imports amounted to £3,534,000 for the month, while the total increase of all imports was only £5,243,000. But the increase in another respect was not of a character to cause improvement in business. The general deficiency of the sugar crop had caused a marked advance of price in the producing countries, and Great Britain, though importing 92,000 cwts. less sugar in May, 1877, than in May, 1876, paid £530,000 more for the raw sugar imported. Meanwhile, though paying more for articles imported and losing largely by unexpected fall of price in important articles, Great Britain suffered from a continued and general shrinkage of prices of articles exported, and in this respect again its experience was shared by this country. Some improvement was noted there as here in the quantities of products exported, but there was a general decline in values, indicating a reduced demand in consuming countries. From partial returns already received it is evident that American commerce was in many respects subjected to the same depressing influence. In short, the outbreak of war, which was expected to give a great impetus to industry and prices, and especially to prices of food and clothing, has caused, on the contrary, a shrinkage of demand and fall of price in many consuming countries, while with respect to breadstuffs it caused an excess of speculation and unnatural advance of prices, which being quickly followed by a reaction, was disastrous both here and in England. There, as here, indications promised improvement in business early in the year, and the recoil has been fatal to many firms and dealers.—N. Y. Tribune. Away from Home.—On no account visit a friend, however intimate, without first receiving a formal invitation, that suitable preparations may be made to receive you. I know there is a good deal grain which had resulted from the previous advance, and, moreover, the loss fell chiefly upon the commercial class. England imported £1,634,000 in value during the same month in 1876; and the unexpected supply from those countries not only caused disaster to European speculators, but broke down the market upon which American shippers had relied. The aggregate imports of wheat were £3,285,000, against £1,797,000 during May of last year—a gain of £1,488,000—and the aggregate imports of articles of food were £8,580,000, against t £6,317,000 in May, 1876—a gain of £2,283,000. The disastrous fall of price was a necessary consequence. A similar mistake in speculation appears to have been made by the dealers in wool. The British imports rose from £2,248,000 in May, 1876, to £3,519,000 in May, 1877, and yet only £774,000 was exported during the month, against £1,645,000 in May, 1876. There was also a marked decrease in woolen goods exporting to about £125,000. Evidently the operators who had looked for an increased demand for wool and woolens, and had bought largely in that expectation, were disappointed. In food and wool the increase of imports amounted to £3,534,000 for the month, while the total increase of all imports was only £5,243,000. But the increase in another respect was not of a character to cause improvement in business. The general deficiency of the sugar crop had caused a marked advance of price in the producing countries, and Great Britain, though importing 92,000 cwts. less sugar in May, 1877, than in May, 1876, paid £530,000 more for the raw sugar imported. Meanwhile, though paying more for articles imported and losing largely by unexpected fall of price in important articles, Great Britain suffered from a continued and general shrinkage of prices of articles exported, and in this respect again its experience was shared by this country. Some improvement was noted there as here in the quantities of products exported, but there was a general decline in values, indicating a reduced demand in consuming countries. From partial returns already received it is evident that American commerce was in many respects subjected to the same depressing influence. In short, the outbreak of war which was expected to give a great impetus to industry and prices, and especially to prices of food and clothing has caused on the contrary a shrinkage of demand and fall of price in many consuming countries, while with respect to breadstuffs it caused an excess of speculation and unnatural advance of prices which being quickly followed by a reaction was disastrous both here and in England.

AWAY FROM HOME.—On no account visit a friend, however intimate, without first receiving a formal invitation, that suitable preparations may be made to receive you. I know there is a good deal said about the grace and good sense of receiving guests without making preparations for them, but it is hardly practiced. Every one who has had the care of a family knows that domestic machinery does not always run smoothly, and it is pleasanter for all concerned to have it regulated "before the company comes." Give your friends, then, the pleasure of expecting you, and be careful not to remain with them so long that they will decide there is more pleasure in anticipation than in reality. Conform strictly to the rules of the family, even if they conflict a little with your personal comfort. Make yourself not only agreeable, but useful, to your hostess. If you do not assist in the housework, perhaps you can mend or make a garment that otherwise might be neglected (though sadly needed), owing to your presence, and the care of entertaining you. I have known persons who would be highly indignant at the mere hint that they lacked good breeding, who appeared perfectly oblivious to any of the simple kindnesses which it would seem common good feeling ought at once to dictate. Make as little work as possible, and in every way regulate your conduct so that the kind hospitality of your entertainers may not be overtaxed. LESSING, the German author, was, in his old age, subject to extraordinary fits of abstraction. On his return home, one evening, after he had knocked at his door, the servant looked out of the window to see who was there. Not recognizing his master in the dark, and mistaking him for a stranger, he called out, "The professor is not at home." "Oh, very well," replied Lessing; "no matter—I'll call another time!"
