Professor Blaokioon the Educa
tion of .the ighlander.
Professor Blackie, in his capacity of
Chief of the Inverness Gaelic Society,
presided at the recent assembly in In-
verness, and delivered a long address on
the`education of the Highlander. The
Professor remarked that the education of
the' Highlander,' if it Iwas!to be natural,
vigorous, and graceful„ and in harmony
with the congruities of his position and
the divinely ordered system of the uni-
verse, must be characteristically and
emphatically Highland. He then pro-
ceeded to the teaching of the Gaelic.
Bible, the People's Sen book of Gaelic
Melodies, and the well-known Teach=
claire. If there does not exist, there
should certainly be made for every High-
land school a history of Scotland with a
peculiarly Highland tinge, performing
the same service to oung Highlanders
that the works of the rare old Chaaronian
did to the Greeks an the Romans of the
second century. Ad ocating the higher
culture of the Gaelic Iin middle schools,
the Professor continued : Anyhow, un-
der a healthy system, even where Eng-
lish alone is recognized in middle schools,
a certain Highland atmosphere will na-
turally prevail, andcertain peculiarities
which distinctly ma out the style and
tone of instruction in such a school, say
,at Inverness, from a similar institution
at Perth or Aberdeen. Highland sub-
jects will be treated with a natural pre-
ference—sections of British history in
which the. Gael had performed the prin-
cipal part, will be discussed in fuller de-
tail. Highland songs will be sung every
day, and the most sublime passages of
Ossian, along with t e beautiful descrip-
tions of scenery in Duncan Ban, and
Allister Macdonald r ited, and perhaps
acted in character, on. show days. Shinty,
of course, and every characteristically
Celtic sport, will be ultivated on holi-
days. The picture uo, the patriotic
and healthy Highlan garb will be worn
by all the scholars. he Highland plume
will wave on the bo et of every prize -
man, and every you g Celtic thane will
tread his native heath with a healthy
consciousness that he is neither a Cock-
ney nor an Etonian. With or without
the Gaelic language he will grow up a
Highlander, as he was born, and present
to the world undisguised and unpervert-
ed one of the finest types, of manhood
that history knows.
A Deserving OonlpDlament to Old
Country Preachers.
At the late Presbyterian Council, held
in Edinburgh, Dr. McCosh,. of Princeton,
paid a handsome compliment' to the style
of preaching adopted by Scotch ministers.
The Doctor saidp "Within the last few
years there has been in America a great
change in the taste fol. preaching. Scot-
land—and when he said Scotland he in-
cluded Ulster, which wwas a province of
Scotland—had sent o+er preachers ,who
were holding the highest places in Amer-
ica, because they bought with them
Biblical preaching. There was a New
England style of preaching, which con-
sisted in beginning on Monday morning,
meditating two or three days, then writ-
ing a beautiful thing, end when Saturday
came looking for a to 't, and having got
a text preaching it'to be admired by a
great many ladies an gentlemen as rich
thought beautifully expressed. That
style of preaching pre ailed for a time,
but now people had come thoroughly
sick of it, and their at lawyers and
great business men said that when they
went to the house of Gobi on the Sabbath
they did not want that ; they wanted the
Word of God preached in a lively man-
ner, and if such preaching were offered
they would wait upon it; but if preach-
ers distracted them withall those fine
sentiments and disquisitions, it wearied
them, and they were not profited. This
was the true cause evilly there was a de-
sire to have Old Country' preachers who
preached the Word in simplicity and
power, dividing their serfnons into heads,
and .introducing some of the old phrases,
mingling thought with scripture. In
New York and all dyer America that
was the style of preachiing that wes tak-
ing; and their Ameriui brethren were
learning to preach in that way, so that
they would soon beat the Scotch preach-
ers and turn them ou ."
Phases of P j ion Life.
A recently discharged prisoner from
the Philadelphia County Prison gives the
Times of that city the following account
of some of his prison experiei ce :
f' If I could not have had a book to
read occasionally I do .'t know what I
should have done. on see, prisoners
are only allowed a book once in two.
weeks ; but if there happens to be three
men in a cell, why then they get three
books in that time. I read Dickens and
Walter Scott and Wilkie Collins. I
don't like Scott much but I liked Dick-
ens pretty well.
"We are put into he dungeon for
`fishing.' Perhaps a an on the second
floor is out of tobacco, and if so he raps
on the window until the man overhead
hears him. He tells his wants, and
pretty soon a piece of tobacco comes
down to him on the end of a string. The
windows are about 40 inches long and
four wide, and are covered on the out-
side with a wire screen When the man
on the second floor sees the tobacco
dangling outside he splits off a splinter
from a bench, sticks a email sliver in the
end at right angles, and with this hook.
hauls it in. Where do we get the string ?
Why, unravel a stodeing. The shoe-.
fitters use their waxed ends. But if we
get caught at ' fishing' we are pat in the
elungeon, as I said. This is the usual
punishment in prison, and the man is
chained by the ankles and given_ bread
and water to eat for a long or short
period, according to the magnitude of
his offence. Then we are put into the
dungeon for talking.We chat with
each other up the pipe and heaters 'or
by rapping on the walls. 'One rap stands
for ` a,' two raps for ` b,? three for ` c,'
and so on. That's th way I used to
talk to Fletcher the murderer. Suppose
I said to him, ` How axle you ?' I would
rap eight times for ' h ' fifteen for 'o,'
and twenty-three for ''w,' and that
would mean ' how.' Then I would spell
out ' are.' But instead of rapping out
` you,' I would merelyi rap twenty-one
times for ' u.' Previous to Mr. Perkin's
appointment as superin#tepdent, if there
were two or more men in a cell and one
of them was caught talking, all had to
suffer the consequences. Now, however,.
only the offender is strapped.
"1 suppose nine -tenths _ of the trouble
among the prisoners arises from tobacco.
We get one plug of chewing tobacco a
Week, but we are not allowed to smoke.
1 don't know why this*, finless it is be-
cause the doctor this ` it injurious.
But,, of course, we break the regulations
and smoke every chance we get. Where,
do w e get the pipes ? Make `'em. It's
•
•
easy enough., A1ltbat is neoesfiary is to
knockoff a eoe of brick and hollow it
out, with a ole for a stem. Some folks
think it mig ty hard to make a stem,
but it is no uch thing. Just slice off
two strips of wood, gongs them out and
clap them ogether, and the thing is
done. The ext thing is to get a light.
One match ill last a man nearly a life-
time. We e a towel or a stocking,
and wash an drpit completely. Then
we set it afi e and smother the flames
under a box, and there is plenty of • tin-
der. A piec of file or a piece of steel
will someho get into the cell, and then
with a stop the smoking apparatus is
complete.
One W. y'of Keeping Cool.
A correspondent of one of the scien-
tific journals writes as follows : "There
is a method hich I have adopted in my
own house o cool the temperature of
any room d ring hot weather, and that
is to hang : sheet or a blanket down
outside an oa :n window upon which the
sun may be pining. This sheet is wet,
and the evpotation of the water pro-
duces a de cious cool apartment. The
sheet Is ke o t damp by having a vessel
filled with w: ter above the top of it out-
side, and apiece of flannel arranged to
form a si ho , and touching several por-
tions of the eet. The water gradually
empties out of the vessel, and may be
replenished i necessary.
W rking Butter.
Do not wok too much or tog fast.
Work slowl until all the salt • is thor-
oughly and evenly absorbed. If thesalt
is not evenly absorbed the butter will
not be of a u iform color. Working too
fast will dest oy the grain, and the but-
ter becomes vey and lard -like in its
texture. Le it stand or put it away in
the tray for . twenty-four hours. Then
work it enon h to remove all the butter-
milk or surpl s brine, so that the butter
may become ry or like a piece of cheese.
Mould into r lls and set these away for
twenty-four ours, or until they become
hard and fir . The cloth should now be
put on, so as to cover one end while the.
other is left ipen for the stamp. The
cloth should b e cut in pieces of the exact
size required nd (dipped in brine, and
the ' butter s oitld be rolled when a the
cloth is drip ing wet. Butter should
never come contact with the bare
hand. When in bulk it can be handled
easily with a ladle and a flat paddle.—

Beets for Milch Cows.
Having had considerable experience ;in
growing beets and mangolds for cattle; I
am thorough! convinced that there is
no crop for ca le food, that a farmer can
raise with as ii uch profit. Last autumn
when my catt e were taken from grass,
their stable fo . d for the first month con-
sisted of fodd : r corn, badly • Cured, and a
very liberal s ply of cabbages. Three
of the cows ca ved last ;September ; the
other three, c ming in ? in the spring,
,
were then i gg
wit calf. The flow of milk
fell off petcep 'bly, and; the batter lost
its yellow.coi ring. When the cabbages
were gonnthe cows were fed on thesowed
corn twice a d y, morning and night, and
at noon each ceived a peck of beets.
A decidedim rovement in the flow of
milk began s on after,' and from the
three far ow caws nearly as much milk
was obtaie ed as when they were in grass
pasture, and the butter was of nearly
the same color as when the cows' were
grass fed. Late in January the supply
of beets gave fit. Them place was im-
mediately fine by a feed of two quarts
of corn and ba ley meal, mixed half and
half. A decid d decline in milk follow-
ed, and the fir t churnin from this milk
gave white bu ter. Ab at the same re-
sults were obt ined a ear ago, . when
soft corn and ( pumpkin' were fed and
compared with beets, the pumpkins
coming nares to the eets in giving
quantity and c for to th butter. From
eexperience I have learned also that about
a peck of beets to a feed for milch cows
will give better results; than a larger
quantity. — Correspondepzce American

The wander- g character of the popu-
lation has a prejudicial -effect on its mor-
ality, while they greed of gold, and the
all -potent effect it had in the develop-
ment of the country, have exercised an
evil effect on c mmercial morality. The
scarcity of wo en, and the want of home
life over a gree portion of ' the country,
is a vicious el went in California life,
and, indeed, ex rcises a mischievous in-
fluence on soci 1 existence all over the
Pacific slope. here are generally few
respectable wocien living' in the mines,
with a result that can be easily imagined.
The first ornament of the female mind is
too often abeenin Californi , and ' the
same love of g in which is developed in
the men show itself, in the women,
though in an in nitely more fatal manner.
I state this on he authority of the great-
est historian of the State, otherwise I
should hesitate t sosweeping a conclu-
sion from merrily a few passing visits.
Divorces are vety common, and unions
unrecognized by thelawscarcely less so.
The recklessnes's of -life which ever char-
actenised the State still exists to some
extent, though in San Francisco and
other large citie quiet people can live as
securely, and, i deed, enjoy as polished
society, as. in al ost any other town in
America. Ext vagance of living is com-
mon ; but, on t e other hand, no man is
compelled to liv beyond his means mere-
ly to "keep up leis posi;tign in society."

' Blown fr m the Guns.
The mode of lowing the `captured
rebels from the grins is, thus described in
a periodical of thh time by an '''eye -wit -
fleas (Colonel Hairiiley) as it was done at
Peshawur after the 55th broke out into
open mutiny :—"All the troops, Euro-
pean and 'native, armed: and disarmed,
loyal and disaffected, were drawn up on
parade, forming three sides of a! square ;
and drawn up very carefully, 'you may
be sure,' so that any attempt on 'the part
of the disaffected4o rescue the doomed
prisoners would' 've been easily checked.
Forming the four h side of the square
were drawn up th guns •(nine -pounders),
ten in number, w ich were to be used
for the execution. The prisoners, under
a strong , Europ an guard, wee then
marched into the square, their crimes
and sentences rea aloud to them, and at
the head of each ;regiment th'iey were
then marched rou 'd the square;. and up
to the guns. Th first ten were picked
out, their. eyes we pe bandaged, and they
were bound to the guns, their backs lean-
ing against the m zzles, and their arms
fastened to the wheels. The port -fires
were lighted, and at a signal from the
artillery major the guns were fired. It
was a horrid sights that then m the eye;
a regular shower bf human fra gments—
of-heads, of arm4 of legs —appeared in
the air through the smoke ; and when
that cleared away,! these fragments lying
on the ground—fragments of ' Hindoos-
and fragments of Mussulmans, all mixed
together—were all that remained of those
to mutineers, . T4iree; times was this re-
p e�ated ; but so gre t ill the4disgust we all

ferent wati the effect on the native portion
of 'the spectators ; their black faces grew
ghastly pale as they gazed breathlessly
at the awful spectacle. You must know
that this is nearly the only form'in which
death has zany terrors for a native. If
he is hanged, or shot by musketry, he
knows that his friends will be allowed to
claim his body and give him the' funeral
rites required by his religion ; if a Bin-
doo, that his body will be burned with
all due ceremonies; and if a'Mussuiman,
that his remains well be decently inter-

sentenced to death in this form, -he knows
th t his body will be blown into a thou-
