When Dr. Snow sgain proposed the appointment of Miss Hooker to the ?scant position, not a yoloe was raised in opposition to the "old-fashioned teacher," whoso familiar manner was not in accordance with preoonoeived ideas of porfeot discipline. Miss Hook er's pleasure in her appointmont was lessened by a suspl6ion of the truth, but she never knew l\ow little recogni tion faithful service or true merit re ceived from the colleagues of hor friend, Dr. SnowV 1 < The Convoy of Exile*. ^ At Krasnovarskl we wcro putin prison I again, and there f remained - feveril | weeks awaiting farther orders as to our disposal, for, notwithstanding what we had been told at Kiev, there ap 8eared to be still some doubt (ouohlng ie fate in store for us. At length came the final Instructions. We were to . march with tho ohain gang of common'! prisoners to Irkootsk. It was then that, as an expedlout for avoiding penal servitude and eventually regaining my liberty, the idea of affecting an ex phange first occurred to me. The devloe Is one frequently practioed among the outlaws of Siberia, This is the method of it; Two prisoners make a bargain, whereby one of the contracting parties takes the name and certificate and as sumes the orime of another, and vioe versa. There is, in fact, a complete exohango of identltlesrVand the one who ? Jin tohy the oxohange settles the differenoo by a money paymeut. The result is that the man condemned to hard labor beoomcs a Siberian settler, and tho {other takes his place at the mines or in Jail. The bargain may ap pear an unequal one, but a moneyless man. wUl sometimes do ? groat deal for a small snqi of roady cash?especially If he has a passion for gambling or drink? and there Is always the possi bility that, when tho deoelt Is dis covered, the more penalty may be en forced. In the. meantime, moreover, the supposod political prisoner, who is generally of troble birth, enjoys a con sideration *nd some material advan tages which are denied to the common malefactor,- During the long tramp of the chain gang4hesev substitutions are effected without much difficulty. The esoort being changod every two days, it is impossible for the members of it, in so short a time,' to familiarize them selves with the names and conditions of the ten or twelve score prisoners who compose the convoy. They can do no more than count heads, and when & number of oonviots in eaoh category which he received from his predeoessor his task is fully acquitted; Whether they are the same persons he cannot ^ondertake to say, and is never asked.? dotn to Journalism. The censorship of the press ceased in 1696, and several periedioal publications immediately ap peared. Just at this time the art of wood cutting was at Its lowest ebb; and so. at tho end of the seventeenth century, illustrations In newspapers be came both rare and bad. The eight eenth oontury saw a gtoat increase in the number and oxcellenoe of carica tures. The trial of Saoheverell pro duced a great many, and the South Sea bubble was even more widely lam pooned. Papors now began to Appear in ever increasing numbers, and some of them, suoh as the well-known Grub Street Journal, published illustrations from tilde to Ume. The best illustra*' tions, however, oontlnued to be oonper .plate engravings; but,sas they involved two pr\ntln?s, the engraving and lot ,.,I3? on the samo page, it wfcs lmjMMsible for muoh advance to be made till they were dlsoarded. The Datiy i\>sivof*1710*Wa* one of the first daily papers to jArk ^illustrations of oumnt events. During the oentral 10 years of the eighteenth c<mtnfy new* papers seem to nave published no 111ns tratlons whatever. The Gentleman*? Magazine, started in 1731, had an 00 oaslonal engraving or/ woodont, but none of any merit It was not till after the revival ol Wood cutting by Bewlok that the Observer?"the pioneer of mod ern illustrated Journalism'*-?made its first r appearanoo, (Sunday, Deo. i,-. 1791). That paper, abandoning engrav ing, availed itself of the art of the .Woodcutter,' -and so did the Time? in the early years of the present oentury. A OhlneeeLynohlng.

The latter made it a praotloe of oalling upon his father for cash whenever lie was la want ol it, until the thing got rather monotonout for the father, who remon strated with his son. and being s?uolly replied to, the father attempted to apply "paternal correction" on the soni the son, in rage, then oaught hold of the door-bar and brought it down with |Uoh force on the lather's skull ^IIRMMeier was committed and capt ured the son Is he was endeavoring to as*ape.

So the parrlolde was bound hand and foot and Just without the hamlet a, hole was dug, arid the wretched Ihnr derer consigned to Its depth* JUm nod was thrown into the hole, and the member* of the cian stamped by turns on the grave until it was on a lovel ith the ground, and so, without leav ing a mound or any marks to point out the parricide's grave, the assembled crowd dispersed silently to their dally vocations.'?

A BImpehire farmer reports a ?uooessful experiment of the hind. - He carted some grass as soon as .it was out* stacked It In the ordinary way, and weighted it every evening with about two tons of railway metals, of greater length than the width of the stack, whion was nine yards long and five yards wide. By this means a large quantity of grass was compressed into a small space. Whon the staok was finished the loose grass from the side Was pulled out and . put on the top, whion was not thatoaed. The result Is about fifty tons of good fodder* simi lar to silage. Thero is some waste at the sides and on top, but not more, it is said, than Is bommonly found in silos. Another experiment of the same desorlptlon was carried out with the help of an elaborate system of mechan ical pressure, whioh appears quite an unnecessary expetfse. The explanation of the preservation of the fodder is that It became so eolld that the air oould not penetrate more than about nine inohes at the sides of the stack and not much more on top. It will be .ad visable for all who try the plan to fix the staok at a distance frora any other staok or any building, as a littio hitoh In the arrangements might easily lead to the heating, and ultimate firing, of the foddor.
