L inchne to tho opinion that the Com- mon Council will grant the pruver of the potition, sod order gn claction, It may be that ths Cowmuttee thought that it would be advisable to repori au ordinanco for an election instead of a resclution, znd thet they thoaght that the resola- tion _which hiad been refcrred to them was_too iudelinite, or otherwise otjoctionable.

A few days ago a petidon cagoe up Lefore Judge Tree, of the Circuit Court,—the pztition L f 8 citizen of’ tha Town of Glencoe,—forthe issu- anca of a mandamus to the Trustees of the town compeliing them to order an election under this incorporation act. It appaared that the requisite number of voers bad signed the petition to the Trastees, and that the Trustees delayed netion for somo time upon the pe- tition, but at last passed an _ordinance subnutting it to the vote of the people in April next. Thio petition for the mendsmus claimed that {he action of the Trustees was fastious, and intended to defeat tha w:ll of tho people and tho requirements of tho law, and praved that the Court isvuo & mandamus caranalling t Trusteesto pass an ordinanco submitu queation whether the town should bu i rated under the yonersl Luw time, to ba fixed by tho Truaices. 1nus was gracted. In the present case, s regards tho petition prezented to tho Council, if tho Aldermen will do acts which will show that they intend indo: itely to postpono the ele:tion, or that they re- futo for unrcasonable length of time to act upon the petition, @ remods, in my opinion, 18 very easy of sitainmens,—by application for a mandanus to the Court, &a was had 1n the case of the Town of Glescoe. 1 do not thunk that it willbe nocessary o resort to this measure, for upon sober second thought the Aldermen will seo that they will te fally performing their duty in acceding 10 the request made, and will order en election. — GENERAL NEWS, The bond of Sbertl Agnew las been filed.

Mr, Tallowbright Humbly Makes a Confession. Much has been eaid in TrE TRIRTNE recently about the mestal and physical training of chil- dren, aund mastters connected therewith. The fact that I winced under the attack of the cap- tious tencher wlo reaznted the intimation that a porent knew anything about, or had auy spocial interest in, his own children, as well as under the response of the indignant parent who fancied that he had some privileges whero his children were concerned ; the fact tbatI was hit, come the blow from what direction it might, will indi- cato that [ have offended in nearly overy direc- tion, when systems of discipline and training aro considered. I plead guilty to the cherge of inconsistency in this important particular humbly confees my sins, 2od offer some Ob- servations to soften my fall. The reletionship of chilchood of auy special grede to anv other grade, or to manhood and womauhiood, or to old aze, PUZZLES ME, old man a6 I am. It not only puzzles me when I proceed to investigats, but when I simply con- templats. Iam food of children, and have al- ways held carefaliy-oatlined theories as to their trestment aud governwuent. Dut I am lostin confusion when I comprehend that I havo, iu the course of my life, stoutly upheld as many theories 28 to government a¢ there aro yoars in the thonghtfal period of my existence. This would striko me as a terrible misfortune, did 1 not koow thiat my old neighbors Lave beon dancing about in tho same strange way. The procession of tho equinotes wus & standing 1nyatification to me in my echoolboy-days. I Lave never mnderstood the 1antier cleariy for ‘more than half a misute at 2 time, and then at long intervals, siuco those days. Dut the equi- nox business never troubled me as has this sys- tematic changing of theories as to childron and their government, The best disciplinarians, as o rule, are YOUNG PEOPLE. I refer now to theory. A buy just released from school has & theory of government shaped und polished. He is a rigd discipliverion, end is £0 enthusiustic and earnest in the cause that ko does not hesitate a momient to voluateer in- Formation, and to give, gratuitously, instruction to persons as far ndvancad in age 24 his graud- father. He adviges his mother 2s to the treat~ ment of the younger children, and moralizes for the benofit of tho young mamms struggling with her first boy, capfious even in babyhood. He has a straightforward courss murfed out, the following of which will éo away with all the fzults of family aod school government that bave cursed the world for ages. As a teacher he has a miesion, an‘l that is to maintain order. Los us be just to tho young man, and gay that he DOES MAINTAIN ORDER. Ha is terribly in earnest, aud he carrios his point. He doea succeed in controlling chuldren baster tuan a dozen men, old and expertenced. - Ho has a theory, and he demonstrates i's application by success, Older neople scknowledge his succass in a dificnlt field, and bomor him for it. His system is a symmetrical one, and he accomplish- 3 what the majority of men are willing to 2d- mit that they could not eccomplish. This situa- tion is easilyunderatood. Ansrdeut youngnature, coming fresh from a field in which he bas szen all the evils of lax disciplive, determines to in- augurate e refoiny, and he does. Ho goes to work with impotus eaougl: to everthrow 21i com- 1mon opposition and to mske success sure. We understand this, - But now this auecraud nov understandable element creeps intd_his philoso- phy. His syotem evoives 1rom within el & e softness, inconsisteat with the position frst occupied. Consiuced by no ontside logic, ho ad- mus a faclt in his svely-poliszed theory, and conseious of no outeide infincnce, ke CHANGES I8 PLANS. He is a3 enthusiretic and as enrness on the new line a5 out the uid, and is successiul. But voarcely hes he demonutrated the praceicability of his play, when he abandousit: snd so, by succeesive stages, e moves forsard, until thera comes ¢ time when he langhs at Lis own thecries s first prowulgated. He no longer exluoits s fovexish impatiouce to assist in the goveroment of families outeido his junsdiction. He shrns responsibihty rather thah courss iz, As the heed of a family ke is very caroful as to his firal ebild, 20d it may bo the sccond, third, sud fourth. He will not permit an act of dizovedience. He ‘would be pained boyond description a¢ an un- gratefal word or 8 detizut look. Bat, ‘before his buir silvers, HE TOLEBATES DISOBEDIENCE in = younger chitd, und accopts ungrateful words and delisn looxs' in quiet resignation, but 2il thie while maltes an effors to control. Whst hay come over the man? Ho is not less observing— rot lesa vizoroua—not more careless, Tho next tage comce. TneInzu 28 grand- father not only permits disobedienca in bis grandchild, but often encourages it. Hs stands towurd a juvenile offender as a sympatbizer, and gometimes, in 2 flame of wrathful indignation, will take his grandehild from its own father's arms rather than see it punisbed. Tho man who, us teacher, reientlessly enforced rules of tho severest discighne, who governed other people's chiidren wisha rod of won: who tol- Prated no disubedienco in his own_ family, nas turned bis back on soverity and his old prin- ciples of goveinment, and yet he lectures on firmness. ‘ 3 "This is only one element in the puzzling re- lationship. Thereis A CUBIOTS CHANGE in the feeling towaid the child. The love of the Joung man or young womsn for a child has something of the sweetheart element in it. Tho love is strong aod genoine, bat it has a poetical or geptimontel tinge. Tie youing man has pots among children, selccted on 2ccount of their sweet faces or pretty manners. Ho sees these coildren only when they are well Qressed and on their good bebavior, and he sur- rounds them with an ideal atmosphere thet el- Jows him to &ee no faulte. He mnever inveetigates us to whother the children aro morty of his love, and ho cares to know Littlo of their home-life. It be should discovar that they aro rude and petulant at home, ho ex- cuses the children because their parents do not anderstand or apprecisto them. A young man in love with & young woman Tarely soes uny resemblance between ihe object of his affections and |1his sister. So +with the young man's love for a child. He turns from his own family to fix lus affections on somse little fair-haired, bright-eyed strang and never admils that the child can come do: to the realistic level of bis licdle brothers and pisters. This young man becomes a father, or the young woman becomes 8 mother, aod there is A MADICAL CHANOE. Every child in the universas suffers by com- panson with the home-child. Thers i3 enti- mont, poetry, inj abucdance ; but it is all home- gentiment. It magnifies excellences, and tarns arbitrasily from any contempletion of faults. The paront sees only with clearost vieion. ac- compuuied by tenderness snd obarity, when g eves are turned homeward, There is no distant worehip, no dependenca of affeczion on good be- Bavior, | The man comes down to closs quartess, and takes the child for better, for worse. The child may be rude, but'dare you szy 50 to the mother? It may have an ugly nose, but dars you hint go much in the presence of the parents ? It may griove the heart of father sod mother, but dare you offer to console them, or commiserate with them ? . 1 can remember when Sanday morning was A BORT OF PANDEMONIU : in the Tallowbright home. Ara. Jellowbright bathed, brushod, aad dressed four bright, obati- nate girls, and three sturdy, etubborn boys. There was always a struggle. Thomothermeant buainese, and the youngeters, 85 & rule, meant oppoition as = mattor of pricciple. Thero wes ecolding, and crving, sud grambling,—accusa- tions, criminations, sod reproaches. 1wonderod, often, how airs, Tallowbright could endure the tremsndous war. I would have besn incliucd to give up toe contest, omit the ceremony, modify the process, conciliate ¢ .6 ch.1dren, and have some enjoyment on Sundsy morung; but no. Tho mother nover flinched in the performance of duty,—never modified or conciliated. When the worTy was over, thore was BRIGATNESS AND PEACE. The war, even, was_a sors of distorted com- fort; aud when the little fn'ls, fresis, and s ling, and consciously prou and corfortabls in their anow-white dresses, pretty cays and bon- nets, and wondronsly-neet stockings aud shoez, 8d the bos 1manly end = little vain of taeir cleen faces and bands, and carefolly broshed liair, flied ont as the frouc gate on their vy to Bunday-school, and my vite came to the front window, stil warm over the snglel with wlceves still rolled up, sad with towol eul ncrosa her shonlder, to put kor arm aboat mo and gaze with rapture on the lirtie flock, s0d eay, with eyes so_bright thut they suggested tears, I tell yon, Pa. there are no pretiier olti- dren in this Base than ours. The litts darlings! How well they do look, and haw proud I sm of thom,"—when this baDpeued, 2s it did nearly overy Sundsy morning of that period of my ex- istence, 1 accepted thoe whole experience (in- clading the pride, and wonder, ten- dornees, in my owu heart) as a fine illns- tretion of the love of parent for child and as embleming, to & certain degree, the anxi, €ty ond vezations that go haod in hand with home-love. 2 THE LOVE OF THE GEANDPARENT is pot attended hy the wearigome, worrying sense of 1esponsibility that is associated with the love of parent, and the affection presenty iteelf in a concentraied form of purer enjoyment. The pleasure has 2 keenress that the parent scarcely experiences continucusly ; and hence the pet- ting and fondling of the grandparent sre fall of an igtangible something that the parens cannot folly understand. Do we care more for our grandchildren thanwe did for our ovn children? They ura ours withous respounsibility —ours to_enjoy withont care. What is the lnw of increase or decreace, oz simplo chango if you will. between the love of the pareut and ‘tha grandparent for the rame child ? Mrs. Tallowbright opens wide her cyes ina carious flame of amazement. I See plainly that 1am recused of treason, and vet I understand that tho court entertauns the opinion that there can be no couviction. And, while I consider whether I shall defand myself or not, my eyes wander to whera ovr littls 3-rear-old grandeinld is badgering ler grent-grandmother, S0 years old. The child that roverences its grandma plays “dat ole danma” a8 with a child-compunion, and the two togother enjoy the same plaything, aud (let us ws5 it reverently, and tenderly, aud uaderstand- ingly) quarral aboat it. The child ludes the doll in the coruer, that the great-grandmotber may uot break it; and the great-grandmother, in turn, bides it behind the mrrror. that the child may not injure it. Tho nearness is & laveling ome, —they LOYE ON THE SAME FLANE. There is gome:hinz in thia scene that stops further queszioning. —And here I am, 88 Mra.

A young man named 'hilippe Goin was crcssing the Place Blanche on horseback, when a huge oull-dog, purausd by severel persous, foaming 25 the mouth and evi- dently laboring under au attack of hydropbobia, rushed at tho liorse and seized it by one of tae hind legs. On feeling itgelf thus severley bitten the horse mads s violent bound and then started off at full gallop, pursued by the maddened dog. Everybody got ont of the way in terror, and this faroas chase continued fill, on arriving op- posita the Theater des Batignolles, the dog made 1 leap, 6prang upon she horse, and scized hold of the overcoat of itsrider, to which it hung suspendad. The horse still continued its frantic e, but fortunately tho dox, having its teeth i thick cloth of the overcoat, could not Dbite Al. Goin. Arrived before the Parc Mon- ceaux the horso rearod and threw its rider, who fell with tho buli-dui still clinging to his coat.

A Iittla furher on the horse fell, the bail-dog stiil maintaining its bold. Two policemen came up at that moment and dostroyed both the mad-dog and the crually-tom horse with theirsabres. M.

Whetier the cook was jealons of the superior acquirements of Lor Young mistress, or simply imaintsined thai jn iha ‘lfitcncn the cook alone is queen, I have not SOME GENUINE CURIOSITIES, Things Which Were Peclined by the Commissioners of za Interrational Exhibition. From Chambers’ Journal, _The Internstional Exmbition at South Ken- sington has this year produced very little effect upon the public mind. 'he novalty of ex- inbittons 18 goue, and the panderers to th- pub- lic taste for somathing new bave introduced cat- shoes, donkey-shoes, and even exhibitions of bar-maids. King Koffee's umbrella, exbibited at the South Kensington Museum, has reccived the palm in popular estimation, partly because of its cumbrous, unscientific formation, but lndro probably on zcconnt of its movelty, and of the parafie inade abokt it in tho newspipers as the grestest trophy of the Ashantee war, It has, Bowever, been sugcested that the cccentrio ox- bhibitors whose articles were rejected in the great Totaroational] Exhubition of 1862 should now have an opportunity of showing tothe world the wondery of their imagination or tho peculi- arities of their mind ; and though with no desire to further this object, we give 2 few of the pro- posed coatribations rejected by the Coramission- era of the 1362 exhibition. A Iady sent a stuffed cat which she said lived toba 14 years of age, and wzs known to have killed during his life 8,270 rats. It followed ita mistress for miles, and would seizo a rabbit now and then and placo it at her feet. A man duting from Willenhsll, Staffordshire, whose name wo withhold, wroto as follows: *Oi don’t no if banemnls is to be showd but if they be, oi got a dog, a bull dog, has ansom has paent and he wul kill rots again ony hanimal the Furrinners can bring—snd thera bo chapa hers bas will faud money to back em—All oi want his a chance at thim furrinnera if they bo goio to bring dogs oi muss bring emmysel and if you be ready oi am—he has Lilt 60 rots in 20 minnis and that 28 moor on ony forrinner can do—you be #avo on backing a me—send enufl munny to pay me railws end oi wiill be wi you.” A number of hidcons stuffed monstrosities wero Bent—eats with threo heads, dogs with six legs, balf-dogs, hulf-cat, calves iwith six eyes, four eyes, and numerous oiber lisus nalure ; but the office of the exhibition had not beea cpen many months when an Americeu gentloxan cali- 6d to make a proposition of a sull moro *ad- vanced” description. Ho was the fortunate poesessor of the embalmed Lody of Jula Pas- trana—a poor cre.éare, half-baboou, half-wom- sn—who created a sensation in England- s few years before ; and ke thought that arrangements might bo made with the Commissioners to show this dead wonder at 63 2 head. ¥e seamed much astounded wken kis offer was refused. A lady wrcte to say that she could procure the identical shirt that Charles L was executed in. It was composed of the finest possible cambric, most elaborately worked, and had been handzd down to her from early ancestors; bat unfor~ tunately iz was then in the hands of the pawn- Droker, who hed advanced ten pounda upom it. 1f sho could receive this sum, and a further ‘zmount sufficient to buy = glass case for it, this would prove one of the graatest attractions in the exhibition, and show how superior was the needlework of that sge to suy produced at ihe present time, Another Iady sent a large sheet of card-board, on which only black marks wers visbls, without any ontline that could be understood. Sho wrote: “This, gentlemen, is done with char- coal—charcoal, no drawing-pencil, simply churred wood. I want it exhibited, to show to the world thet woman’a mind is superior 1o circamstances, and that I, s woman witnont means, am sape- rior to 2lichacl Angelo.” The Commussioners sent it back with the curt romark: *With thenks ; bui no space.” ‘A man who was evidently shead of the time— for no one had then talked about crewation— wished to exhibit an epparatus by which 100 pounds of animal matter could be reduced to dust by 6 pounds of charcoal in_m fow hours withont causing an offeusive smell. * This,” bo snid, labeling & small packet containing o few ounces of dast, **is all that remains of o large dog.” The Commiesioners were at a loss o sea the utility of his invention at that period, therefore, refused to allow hum apace. The smallest contribution which was declined was a penny loaf of the vear 1801, The appli- cant for space to exhibit this loaf said that he believed it to be the oldcat piece of bread in tho world. It was purchassd by the applicant’d father sixty years vefore, when wheat was sellin, at 1 guinea & bushel: and for the pnrpose of presérving as & soecimen of very dear bresd, & string-vet was mads, in which it had boen in- cased ever sinca. A thoughtfal friend of the JCommissioners sent a number of small phyeic powders all the way from Baden®Baden. They were carefully directed, as medicine packets usually are, and were intended to repair the exnausted consti- tutions of the ovarworked oficials. A Norwegian sent o chart of the eerth, sto prove that 1t was not round, bat' flat ; and asked that space may be given him to lecture in, when bo would show how blind all the learned msu hzd been on this subject, end would teuch tho rising generation truths that it would be worthy of the Exhibition to uafold. One person, on_the otker hand, asked that space should be givon him to suspend s pondu- lum by a link 120 feet jong, and the said penda- lum should show the earii’s dizrnal movement. 'This was to some extens carried out at the Paris Intercational Exhibition, where a pendalum weighing upward of aton was snspoaded by & thick wire, with numorous swivels mpon 1t: undsrneath, the hours for doy and night wers marked, sad the pendulum being set going when the sun was at his meridian, it maried the timo goctrately, apparestiy changing its moticn, but in reality continuing its action from north to sonth, by means of the ewivels; tho presuraption being that tho surface had changed its poeition, showing tho earth’s rotation. 5 One gentieman, 2 Frenchwan, of s poetic tarn of rind, wished to put the wholo oticial logue into fiowing verzc, and to work up ali tho ‘minutes, documents, and decisions of the Cow- missioners into &n epic posmL Of the thocsands of applicants for apace, 30ma professed to produce glas=d cyes sotrue to nature that none could believe them to be artificial ; others asserted thet they couid produce wigs su- perior to tho natural hair, £ad that whickers and mustaches could e so £xed apon the face as to ivo o hirsate appearance to the moat barefaced fudividuals. There werocofivs of the most in- destructible character; aud epacimans were ab- solutely sent of embalmed bodies, to prova how mortal 25 can be preserved from decav. Lastly, there was &n apylicant for space who hed elixir of life, 2nd only wante: i Bome one éying suddeaiy " ‘building to prove thoe mirsculcus power of Lis mixtare. i As to te:sons who had found out tho ¢s'enco of gerpemzl motion, thiere werd ut Jeast & bcoie ; and of men who viere prepared to invent &5ys- tem of dying throagh the air, almost a3 maoy. Oze gantleman way 8o enthusisstic zpon thid subject that he wished to ezhibit an serial w2~ chine in action under ooo of the grest demes, wiiere he shought be could epring_up and down liko an acrobat in a gigantio kaby jumper. Wheo Lix offer wes politely declined, hv &8 politely thanked the Cowmissioners, feeling that theic objacs in refusiag him pormission :0 exhibit was only to save Him from maing s great personal sacrifice in preparing his mzchine. Wo conld give other ins:znces of would-be ex- hibitors, but have said sufiicient 2o prove thatit would nos be difficult to gat up an exhibition of their inventions zll to themseives. ——— —One of the students at tho Rensselanr Inati- tute, in Troy, was Stephen Alexaader.
