3IXTRDER TRIALS,
DM Imfrmmr jtrfoeaxw to

The murder ol Madame Pauw in
France, about ten years asro, shows how
a eonspicuoua and powerful motive, in
the absence of other conclusive evidence,
aometimea puts justice successfully upon
the track of the criminal. Madame
Pauw was a widow with three children,
who had an intimate friend in the Count
de la Pommerais. This titled personage
was in need of money, and he had a head
for scheming. He planned a fraud upon
eight insurance companies, and persuaded
the poor widow to become his instru
ment in it. Her life was to be insured ;
she was then to feign dangerous illness ;
and, while lying apparently in a senous
strait, the insurance companies were to
be persuaded to change the life-policies
into annuities. The count advanced the
premiums; the policies were made out,
. 'I
transferable bv indorsement,
jiauame
Pauw was then induced to indorse them
to him, and also to make a will out in
his favor. The next thing was for the
widow to pretend to fall ill, which she
did ; but, instead of the policies being
transformed into annuities, the poor lady
died t It was a grave blunder of the
count to tell the doctor, when he came
in, that Madame Pauw had fallen down
stairs ; for not only was this denied by
abundant 'testimony, but the post-mor
tem examination betrayed the presence
of poison as the cause of her death. At
once thereafter the Count de la Pomme
rais came into possession of the half mil
lion francs which accrued under the poli
cies and the will. Here occurred a sin
gular incident in the trial. It is clear
that, ii the count had intended the fraud
in earnest when he proposed it to Mad
ame Pauw, and really designed to obtain
for her an annuity by its means, thus
securing to himself a life income, he
could have had no serious motive for
killing her. And this was actually his
defense against the charge of murder.
He declared, and t--1- prove, that he
really meant to erl7 out the fraud,
that Madarj- 1 au ueath was a
trophe an accident. Thus in-7inS
to -vat himself of the grave cnie, he
liolly confessed the lesser. Cut the
proui contradictory 01 nis cac was too
clear ; he was convicted an duly exe
cuted.
It has been said that a ry important
link in the chain of circumstantial evi
dence is that of opportunity. To show
want of opportunity, iat is, an alibi, is
an absolute answer t he strongest in
dictments, and produces a fatal flaw in
the chain. Opportunity to commit the
crime must be either proved outright or
-Inferred hj tie moat conclusive presump
tion. There never was a more striking
case illustrative of this than that of the
young Scottish girl Madeleine Smith,
whose trial at Glasgow may easily be re
membered by many readers. It may be
said that the trial was one of the most
interesting in British judicial annals.
Madeleine Smith had engaged herself to
a yonng Frenchman named L'Angelier.
It was clearly proved that she had tired
of him, and was anxious to disentangle
herself fiom the connection. But
L'Angelier clung to her, and refused to
be rebuffed. There is no doubt that on
several occasions, just previous to his
visits, she had purchased poison ; or that,
always after these visits, he was seized
with severe illness. On the seventeenth
of March Madeleine returned to her
house in Glasgow, after a brief visit to
some friends. The next day she pur
chased some arsenic, " to kill rats with,"
as she said. The arsenic bought, the next
thing she did was to write to L'Aiigelier,
inviting him to tea on the evening of the
nineteenth. He happened to be out of
town, and did not, therefore, get the note
until it was too late to accept the invita
tion, fche wrote again on the twenty
first, urging him to come the next even
ing, and saying: " I waited and waited
for you, but you came not. I shall wait
again to-morrow night, same time and
arrangement." This note L'Angelier re
ceived. So far the proof was clear. It
was also in evidence that he started from
his lodgings in excellent health on the
Sunday evening, and that he sauntered
in the direction of Madeleine's house;
this was at nine o'clock. Twenty min
utes later, he called on a friend who lived
but a short distance from her residence.
Here the evidence utterly failed, and left
a blank for four hours and a half
At two in the morning, L'Angelier
13 found at his own door writhing and
speechless; and in a few hours he was
dead. The autopsy betrayed a large
quantity of arsenic in his body. But
between twenty minutes past nine and
two, no human being could depose to
having laid eyes on him. Madeleine
Uierself denied that she saw him at all
that night; nor was the slightest proof
forthcoming that she did. She was put
on the trial for the murder of L'Angelier;
and, although her desire to get rid of
him-that is, a motive; her purchase of:
btrsenic-that is, pscW.n of an instru- i
pnent similar to that which was found !
to have been fatal; and her notes , I
f nvitation that is, a fact from which a
ftrong probability of a meeting between i
Fnem that night was established were !
uUr proved( thc aW(irc f a Iiroof f
rual opportunity to commit the deed
vailed to save the prisoner's life. She
faM. in effect : " I was at my house, and 1
0 prove it ; he was not there, for I
iefy you to prove it ; therefore I have
w alibi." The Scottish verdict of "not
roven" set her free, but did not clear
ier of the stain of deep suspicion.
The story of the Danish pastor, Soren
Joist, is one of the most touchinelv
ragic in judicial reords ; and once more :

ni'rmc-x in a neighboring village, one
Morton Br una, well off but of bad repu
tation, sought this daughter in marriage,
but was rejected both by her and by tbo
pastor.
Soon after a brother of his, Niels
Bruns, entered the pastor's service as a
farm hand. Niels was lazy, impudent,
and quarrelsome, and frequent alterca
tions occurred between him and his mas
ter. One day Sorn fniuul the man idling
in the garden. A quarrel ensued, when
the pastor, his hot temper getting the
better of him, struck Xiels several times
with a spade, saying: " I will beat thee,
dog, until thou liest dead at my feet ! "
; The man then jumped up and ran off
I into the woods, and was not seen again.
The rejected suitor, Morten, after hi&
brother hud thus mysteriously disap
peared, boldly charged the pastor with
the crime, and offered to produce con
vincing proofs of the fact. Soren was
therefore arraigned, when the following
evidence was arrayed against him. A
man testified that, on the night after the
quarrel, he saw the parson, in his green
dressing-gown and white night-cap, dig
ging hard in the garden. It was also
proved that, search having been made
in the garden, a bedy had been unearth
ed, undoubtedly that of Niels, with his
clothes and earrings upon it. A servant
girl testified not only to having heard
Soren repeatedly threaten to kill Niels,
but to having seen the parson goout into
the garden on the fatal night, in his
green dressing-gown and night-cap. Still
stronger evidence was produced to the
effect that the parson had been seen, in
his green dressing-gown and night-cap,
carrying a heavv sack from the wood
near bv into the garden. The chain of
. .
evidence was apparently complete against
Soren; and the poor parson now sealed
his own fate by declaring that he be
lieved he had killed Niels, though un
consciously, ne stated that he was wont
to talk in his sleep. He had found texts,
written sermons and visited his church
in a state of somnambulism. He must,
therefore, have found the man dead in
the wood while thus unconscious, and
have buried him while in this condition,
To be brief, Soren was found guilty and
executed.
Twenty years after, Niels Bruns turned
up again, alive and well, grown now old
and erav. He recounted how his brother,
Morten (now dead) had concocted a rj"
to fasten the crime of murder -"" 'e
pastor, in revenge for the r-Uoa "
suit. A body had w -"'nterred and

JIARJELOCS METEORIC PBEXOMEX A.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
The phenomena attending the storm
which passed through St. Charles last
Sunday leave no doubt as to its true
character. It was one of those terrific
meteors with a complex motion, progres
sive as well as rotary, having the fury of
a great tornado condensed into a track
of a few hundred feet broad. The mete
or, revolving on its own axis, made the
wind appear to come from different di
rections, and so strewed the'rftVr" indiffer
ently in every quarter. This peculiarity
of these aerial convulsions has been no
ticed in many storms of this description,
and forms a characteristic by which they
may be easily identified. The appear
ance of the cloud, the rapidity of its pas
sage, and the column of water which it
is said to have raised from ths Mississippi
river while crossing, all serve as addi
tional distinguishing traits by which the
character of the phenomena is recognized.
On the ocean it would have been a wa
terspout ; on land its tremendous power
was apparently stimulated by resistance,
and it played with the works of man as
with the leaves of the forest. A great
many fantastic tricks have been per
formed by meteors of this kind ; but the
St. Charles phenomenon falls behind
none of them. The single feat of pluck
ing away the walls of the jail and leav
ing the cage and the cells st inding intact
will compare favorably in marvelous
ness with any incident ever narrated of
the freaks of the whirlwind. Trees have
been stripped of their leaves and bark,
houses have been gutted and left stand
ing, and thirty-ton engines have been
blown from the tracks where they stood,
but nothing stranger than this St.
Charles jail feat has ever been recorded
of a meteor. It is too early yet to de
cide whether the same storm leaped into
Indiana and passed through Potaka and
Princeton, but it is by no means im
probable that such is the fact. A me
teor of this kind often appears to re
bound from the earth and pass through
the air for miles before again touching
the ground. It may be that our Mis
souri storm took a mighty bound of thiB
kind and came to earth again in Indiana,
but the evidence to prove this is still
lacking. AH things show it to have
been of tremendous power and capable
of doing almost incalculable mischief. A
tornado of this size and violence, passing
up Fourth street for a mile, would de
stroy $20,000,000 worth of property in
ten minuUis, and prove more disastrous
than the greatest fire that has ever vis
ited the city.

A Srrtoua Sorinl Problem
tohn'm Waif of
The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise says :
The learned men who conduct command
ing eastern journals cannot understand
why the people of this coast are opposed
to the influx of a race which all admit
possess patient industry and thrift ; who,
as a rule, are peaceful citizens, and who 1
ask for nothing but what they can earn
They think it is but a prejudice tif edu
cation which makes us inveigh against
the Chinese, something akin to that
spirit which in the old slave days made
the men of the south., believe they were
right in psessing property in man, and
believing in classes. They can see no
taint in the presence of Chinese and
wonderingly ask why we, in a country
where cheap labor of innumerable hands
is needed, oppose the very means by
which our wants can be supplied. We
tell them that whiteinan cannotcoinpete
with the Chinese, and they sneer at us,
and as much as say "if you strong Anglo-Saxons
cannot compete with this in
ferior and half-barbarous race, then the
sympathy of the world will never go out
to you if you are undone by Chinamen.
And yet that is the point wherein the
whole trouble lies. The Chinese live on
food which the white man could not
swallow if he were famishing ; he sleeps
in cribs that would suffocate a white la
borer; and with all restrictions taken off
there is not a trade of the white man s
that the Chinese could not in five years
monopolize. There is no invention in
the race, but their faculty for imitation
is marvelous. Show them once how a
boot is made and they forever after will
mako boots as nearly like their first
model as one bird's nest is like another.
In all the western Faeific islands and on
the Indian coast they have driven every
comrietitor away and they centrol the
trade there, neither English,German, r r
Dutch, not even the Jews can co'l"te
with them. ;
For our good on this co- we , a

one ot . . , rf
woJi?oegin to realize that if there were
. nyilion of them instead of a few hun-
l dred, New York city should be poorer
instead of richer for their presence.
They would begin to realize that no
newspaper would ever be subscribed for
by even one of all that million ; that no
public work intended for the health,
prosperity or intelligence of the people
would ever be heled by them ; they
would see that trades were falling into
their hands, but the public somehow
were not prospering ; see that from their
quarter of the city the other races were
drawing away as from a pestilence, and
would understand that in case of danger
a million of these half made men
weuld be no defense. This is simply a
business look, but going further they
would see that every woman of the race
was both a harlot and a slave, that they
were being bought and sold daily, and
that every effort of courts and officials
could not check the vice for a moment.
This might be extended indefinitely. It
might be shown that under our laws they
but follow the laws of their own country
in all their relations with each other, and
that there it not power enough in either
police or courts to change this slate of
affairs for a moment. The European
soon merges with our people, and it is
hard to tell, after a generation or two,
whether a man is of English, German,
or any other European descent. But the
Chinese have not changed for thirty
centuries, and all other lands, except
China, are to him and his foreign shores
forever. Their presence here now, and
the possibilities of evil they may bring
to our people in the future, is a more se
rious problem than the American race
have yet been called upon to decide.

Dr. Hall is opposed to the immoderate
drinking of water. He says : The longer
one puts off drinking water in the morn
ing, especially in the summer, the less
he will require during the day ; if much
is drank during the forenoon, the. thirst
often increases and a very unpleasant
fullness is observed, in addition to a
metallic taste in the mouth. The less
a man drinks the better for him, beyond
a moderate amount. The more water a
man drinks the more strength he has to
expend in getting rid of it, for all the
fluid taken into the system must be car
ried out; and there is But little nourish
ment in water, tea, coffee, beer and thc
like ; more strength is expended in car
rying them out of the system than they
impart to it. The more a man drinks
the more he must perspire, either by the
lungs or through thc skin ; the more he
perspires the more carbon is taken from
the system; but this carbon is necessary
for nutrition hence, the less a man is
nourished the less strength he has.
Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength in two ways, and yet many are
under the impression that thc more wa
ter swallowed the more thoroughly is the
system "washed out." Thus the less we
drink at meals, the better for us. If the
amount were limited to a single cup of
hot tea or hot milk and water at each
meal, au immeasurable good would le
sult to all. Many ersons have fallen
into the practice of drinking several
glasses of cold water, or several cups of
hot tea or coffee, at meals, out of mere
habit ; all such will be greatly Ijenefited
by breaking it up at once. It may be
very well to drink a little at each meal,
and perhaps it will be found that in all
cases it is much better to take a single
cup of hot tea at each meal than a glass
of cold water, however pure.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald says : This season Mrs.
Belknap determined to establish a pre
cedent, and declined returning visits un
less those made by the wives and
daughters ol officers of the army and
navy, the diplomatic corps, and a few
thers. She gave no evening entertain
ment but her dinners, and she has had
threejor four each week since New Year's,
which were of the most refined and ele
gant description. There were usually
covers for fourteen, and the menu em
braced every delicacy in and out of sea
son, M-rvcd on a table glittering with
costly silver and fine glass, and illumi
nated by a profuse 0f rare flowers.
These dinners have bee. the talk of the
town, and it has been considered as
great an honor to receive a rd for one
of Mrs. Belknap's dinners as f ydinner
served at the white house. The" . Icttes
have been of the most elaborate ano ex
pensive materials. At the last Gen
where she recieved the euests for th.
"Bachelor's club" who gave it, the dress
worn by her was said to hare cost six hun
dred dollars, and came from Pingat in
Paris, and this was oneof the most mode
of her costings-" Her laces and je"Clry
were the ,vy " the ladies of t.s diplo
matic 'jrP8 aml that speak volumes tor
th worth and magnificence.
Her last appearance in public was on
Monday last, when she attended three
entertainments, the first an elegant din
ner party given by Madame Bergmont,
at her superb house on H street. Here
she seemed not to be very bright, and
remarked to lady near her : " I am not
well ; I am so nervous, and I ought not
to be here." What wonder that she
was nervous, with the sword ready to
fall and destroy her and her husband.
Later she .went to the last reception
given by Mr. Riggs, the prominent
banker, and his daughters; and still
later to a leap-year party given by Ad
miral and Mrs. Porter. Her costumes of
shimmering silk was half hidden under
the drapery of foamy, costly lace, worth,
they say, a prince's ransom. Her orna
ments, as I heard next day, were a cost
ly parture of diamonds, which glittered
and flashed forth a thousand colors,
worn for the first time. She was sur-
ronnded all the evening by friends, and
was acknowledged the most elegantly
dressed lady of the evening.
IIELKAP ASD LORD ItACOX.
The nearest precedent to Belknap's
case in form is probably that of Francis
Bacon, lord verulam, viscount St. Albans
and lord chancellor of England, which
corresponds to the mingled offices of vice
president, chief justice of equity, cab
inet minister and chief private counsel
lor of the sovereign. To kill the chan
cellor is treason as to kill the queen,
I)rd Bacon was thc greatest of English
political intellects, the friend of Eliza-
lieth and James I., a reputed author ol
Shakspeare, and patron of Ben Jonson
rich, learned and noble. He had the
greatest office in the land, had beaten
Sir Edwin Coke in rivalry, received
rich presents and legacies, and married
rich. Yet, giving way to voluptuous
improvidence in the year 1621, he took
bribes direct, to the number of twenty-
four cases, in one case receiving 400,
and in another 700. Public excite
ment ran so high that Bacon's health
failed like Belknap's spirit, and even
King James was alarmed and insisted
that he should plead guilty, which he
did, as follows : "I do plainly and in
genuously confess that I am guilty of
corruption, and renounce all defense.
I beseech your lordships to be
merciful to a broken reed." He
was sentenced to pay a fine of
40,000 and to go to jail, both of
which penalties were remitted, but he
never recovered standing nor. raised his
head again, and died neglected and
broken-hearted, although it was an age
of presents and brilies. Bacon became
so poor that he was refused beer by a
nobleman near his obscure lodcings, and
yet he protested that, though guilty, he
was the most honest chancellor England
had known. Oath in jV. Y. Oraphir.
The Pobtofficeh. A committee of
congress is at present engaged in investi

it is proposed to cut down the salaries of
very many of the jwstiuasters, grading
them according to the receipts of each
office. This plan will at the same time
increase the salaries now paid in several
cities. The following list of twenty-one
principal cities, beinir all at which the
gross receipts of money last year equaled

how salaries would be graded if the new

walking is aUuit mid-day in the winter,
and in the morning and toward evening

TUB SUEZ CAXAL.
This canal crosses the desert te the
east of Alexandria, at a place now called
Port Said, where vessels sailing into
properly prepared basins et into the
appointed channel, and where there are
steam-tugs to help them if required.
The course pursued in a southerly di
rection is for about thirty-one miles per
fectly straight, the width at the surface
of water lieing three hundred and twenty-seven
feet, and seventy-two feet at
the bottom, with a depth of twenty-six
feet. This measurement prevails over
nearly three-fourths of the canal. Pass
ing the forty-first mile, the canal makes
a lend to Lake Timsah, the bending
being due to the impracticability of cut
ting through some sand-hills. Lake
Timsah only a lake by the sea
having lcen let in may be cailcd
thc central station. Here, on thc
west side, we come to Ismailia, with the
fresh water and canal railway from Cairo,
both of which continue at no great dis
tance all the way to Suez. At the fifty-third
mile, we reach the Great Bitter
Lake, which is connected with the Little
Bitter Lake, the two together measuring
about twenty miles in length. Like
Lake Timsah, they are nothing moro
than natural depressions in the sand filled
with sea-water to the ordinary depth of
the canal, thc fair-way being cleared by
dredging. At the seventy-third nyle,
w get on the canal, which now pursues
a strtUght line to Suez not that it
touches tni " -
eastwa'i an ends at Fort Ibrahim, in
the gulf of Suez, a portion of the Red
sea.
Along the whole route there are de
fined stations, houses of officials, and the
electric telegraph, with morning-posts,
and other accommodations. To avoid a
congestion of traffic, the transit is placed
under strict regulations, and usually oc
cupies sixteen hours. Apprehensions as
to the difference of levels of the two seas
have proved entirely groundless. At
each end the tides exert an appropriate
influence. It anything, there is a cur
rent from thc Red sea; but as it meets
a wind from thc north, it does not af
fect thc navigation. Fears as to the
drifting of sand into the canal have like
wise been greatly exaggerated. Along
the sides of the fresh-water canal trees
have been planted ; these, when grown
will serve to condense the clouds and
draw rain; wherefore, we may expect
that at no distant date the desert will
assume thc character of a green and fer
tile region.
The original estimated expense of the
canal was four millions sterling; but
the outlay has been near ly double that
amount, exclusive of a very heavy ex
penditure by Egypt on Port Said; grav
ing docks at Suez, and other things of a
less or more remunerative character. It
is believed that as much as nineteen
millions have been altogether expended
in connection with the undertaking. In
becoming aware of this fact, one would
be disposed to admire the enterprise and
generosity of the Egyptian government
in contributing almost four-fifths of the
expense, without an immediate prospect
of adequate remuneration. Unfortu
nately, most of the money was borrowed
at a high rate of interest, and it seems
not unlikely that the khedive, from
financial exigencies, will find it desirable
to dispose of much, if not the whole of
his interest in the concern, including
the reversion of the property at a preco
dent period.
SKn SPAPER REPORTERS.
It is not often the penny-a-liner in
England has a chance of showing what
is in him, but we get a fair taste of his
quality in the following bit from an ac
count of thc anniversary dinner of a
Foresters' court : " The usual hospita
ble and ample catering of seasonable and
substantial sustenances, with true Eng
lish successions, met the approbation of
those who take Lincoln green as an em
blem to emulate fraternity, providential
motives, and true sociality, making the
advent of each emulating annual an
oasis in the prospective, in the advanc
ing history of thf court."
In A mcrica the reporter is a chartered
libertine, licensed to misuse old words
and manufacture new ones at h's discre
tion ; free to be grandiloquent, funny or
slangy, at Ins own wild will. He is
great at fires. This is his way of de
scribing the burning of a grocery store :
" The steam and hand engines rushed to
the scene of the conflagration, but it was
too late. The flames enveloped the en
tire structure, the Doric columns were
tottering to their fall, the iron balconies
were melting, the noble buttresses were
a heap of ruins, and the French plate-
glass in the magnificent windows was
cracked and twisted by the fervent heat,
The blaze roared through the halls, and
the mauresque ceilings, the jewelled
chandeliers, the purple velvet tapestry
succumbed to the furious element ; at last
the roof fell in, the heavy walls fell out,
and nothing was left of the majestic pile
but its ruins, reminding the beholder of
the ancient palaces that line the Tigris,
the Euphrates and the Nile." When
the wall of a burning bank came down
with a crash we are told that, "the fire
fiend danced with malignant joy in and
about the rear portions of thc stores and
oilices ;" and when a similar fate threat
ened an Oswego homestead, "the red
flames danced in the heavens and flung
their fiery arms about like a black fune
ral pall, until Sam Jones got on the roof
and doused them with a pail of water."
Down Iowa way the appearance of a
newspaper paragraph beginning, " Yes
terday morning winter and spring kissed
each other in the sunrise, and each
spread its choicest favors on thc purple
air," evoked a report that the journalist
had just opped the question successful
ly, while a counter statement attributed
the Kietie burst to the author's having
lieen bitten a week before by a dog, "the
exact condition of the animal not lieing
known at the time." Taste in Iowa in
clined rather towards the brief and sug
gestive style of reporting, of which we
have two good examples in " The de
ceased, though a bank director, is gener
ally believed to have died a Christian,
and was much respected while living;"
and " There was no regular trial in the
exseof John Flanders yesterday. He had
an interview with a few friends, and it is
perfectly certain that John will never
burgle any more."
Si. Kill i i. y Saih asi u: The printing
business is the most fascinating and en
trancing occupation that man can follow
for a livelihood. It is not only an ex
ceedingly pleasant and highly resH-ctable
calling, but, also, a very lucrative em
ployment. Large fortunes are contin

lishers without the slightest ellbrt, and,
take it all in all, it is the easiest way to
'ain a stibsistance one can find. Print

You never have to ask for your pay

thoughtful that it is no trick at all te
gather ysur stamps. Buy a printing

A .V A STROSOMICA I. PROBLEM.
In his recently published book, " Our
Place Among the Infinites," Mr. Richard
A. Proctor speaks of the discovery by
the late Mr. Goldsmidt of five faint com
panion stars to Sirius, and suggests that
" their faintness may best be explained
by supposing that they are opaque bodies,
which shine only by reflecting the light
which they receive from their sun,
Sirius," which is a star more than 4,000
times as big as our sun and has a disc
more than 300 times as large. If this
view of them is correct and they are the
planets of the dog-star, as earth is
planet of the sun, and they are as it
seems evident they are sufficiently
cooled down to permit of the production
upon them of beings analagous to man,
the aspects of nature to these stellar
mortals must be simply astounding as we
can conceive of them. The largest of
these planets would contain 1,000 times
the volume of our sun, and would have
a diameter of 8,000,000 miles. The force
of gravity would be so great that noth
ing could be moved by men such as we,
Mountain summits, if they bore the same
proportion as on the earth, would tower
6,000 miles above the level of the sea ;
trees would be in proportion, and men
themselves would be 5,000 or 6,000 feet
tall ; butterflies forty feet long would flit
about ; fire-flies, with lights as big as
hogsheads, would illume the nights.
The London Spectator is struck with awe
in the contemplation of this vastness,
but does not carry its speculations far
enough. If hydrogen at the centre of
the sun is of the consistency of pitch,
what must be the density of water on
the Sirian planets? And if water would
le solid, how would it form the tissues
of 4 body analogous to that of man, who
is nine-tenths water ? A man a mile
high how great, how awful would not
be his tailor's bills ! Speculation stands
appalled before this awful problem.

How They Fixed it. A New York
er, while journeying the other day, was
recognized by another citizen doing bus
iness near the Bowery, he being also
away from home on business, and after a
little preliminary conversation the first
remarked : " Well, I hear that you had
to make an assignment." " Yes, dat is
drew," replied the other. "And your
brother over on Chatham street, he as
signed too, didn't he?" "You see, it

Itl l.l. tIREAT MEX.
Descartes, the famous mathematician
and philosopher ; La Fontaine, celebrated
for his witty fables ; and Buffon, the na
turalist, were an singularly dencient in
the powers of conversation. Marmontel
the i ovelist, was so dull in society that
his friends said of him, after an inter
view, " I must go and read his tales, in
recompense to myself for the weariness
of hearing him." As to Corneille, the
greatest dramatist of France, he was
completely lost in society so absent and
embarrassed that he wrote of himself a
wittv couplet, importing that he was
never intelligible but through the mouth
of another. Wit, on paper, seems to be
something widely different from that
play of words in conversation which,
while it sparkles, dies; for Charles II.,
the wittiest of monarchs, was so charmed
ith the humor of " Hudibras," that he
caused himself t lie introduced in the
character of a private gentleman to But
ler, its author. The witty king found
the author a very dull companion, and
was of opinion, with many others, that
so dull a fellow could never have writ
ten so clever a Imok. Addison, whose
classic elegance has long been considered
the model of style, was shy and absent
in society, preserving, even liefore a
single stranger, formal and diguified
silence. In conversation Dante was
taciturn ami satirical. Gray and Alfieri
seldom talked or smiled. Rousseau was
remarkably trite in conversation not a
word of fancy or eloquence warmed him.
Milton was unsocial, and even irritable,
when much pressed by the talkol others.
.SkwaoE AMI) Gas. An English
inventor suggests that wc dispose of the
sewage of our cities by making gas of it.
It is said that whereas it takes to pro
duce nine thousand cubic feet of coal
gas, a ton of the licst English coal and a
large quantity of furnace coal to main
tain the requisite heat, to make nine
thousand cubic feet of the proposed gaa
it takes only one hundred and rhirtv-fiv
pounds of furnace coal, and the necessa
ry amount of sewage, which tre may hope
is very considerable. The cost of making
a thousand feet of this gas is expected
nowhere to exceed a shilling, and in
most places to be us low as sixpence,
sterling.
. . It is a ereat year for the old man.
Grandfathers who have been neglected
and made to feci that they were in the
way, and wished they were dead, who
have long been thrust away in the kitch
en and left to mumble to themselves in
the chimney corner, are astonished by
being brushed up of an evening and
brought into the parlor, where they are
shown off to the company as centennial
relics. " Grandfather, you Knew Wash
ington, didn't you ?" " Yes, yes,"
says grandfather, "the gin'rel borer'd a
chaw terbaccer of me many and many a
time ! " The old man is going to Phila

Ir. acneaclt Mtandard Remedies.
Ihe standard remedies for all dineiwes of the lunfts
are ISciirnck's 1'ixmonic syrcp, nthknck's ka
Weed Tonic, and Schknck's Mandrake Pii.i.8,
and, if taken twtfore the luugs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three Biedklnes Dr. J. H. Hchem-k, of
Philadelphia, owes his uo rivalled success in the
ireaiiuem Ol pulmonary a incases.
The Pulmonic Srmn ripens the morbid matter in
the lunss ; nature throws it off" by an easy expecto
ration, lor when tnepiiieKrator maiier is ripe asusni
cough will throw it on", the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and sk-henck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to demise the stomach and liver.
Schem-k's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
start freclv, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative ; the alkali of which it is comoscd,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmon
ic Svrup will make good blood ; then the lungs heal,
and'the patient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent a fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office,
corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia,every

Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
