Tho French drink Absintho is im ported extensively iu this country. A New York paper describes ita effects in this way. "It is mucb moro per ilous, as well as deleterious, than any ordinary liquor, Its encroachments aro scarcely perceptible. A regular absiutbo drinker seldom perceives that ho is dominated by its I nlefttl influ ence until it is too lato. All of a sudden he breaks down; his nervous system fa .destroyed; bis brain is inop erative; 'his will is paralyzed; he ua mere wreck-; there it no hope of hi re covery. Victims of intemperance of tho common sort frequently relorm; but tho absinthe drinker, after he Inn gone to a pertain length, very rarely does, or cau throw olF tho fatal fasci nation. Tho moro intellectual a tunu is, the more readily tho habit fastotiB itself upoiM him." This boats ,bad . corn whisky whlchHs warranted to kill at eighty rods; but if men nro going to destroy themselves by intem perance tho quickest way is tlio best. It is one of the- uuoxplanablu things of moral ethics how people decide so promptly as to how little rniu and bad weather it takes to keep them avayjromi pryi meeting, aud bow much is required to keep them away from a good show.

A friend oi tnino owned ono on which ho bad to give a mortgage, nnd the morlgngo was due on ono end beforo they could get it recorded at tho other. You ice it was laid oil In counties." Thcro was a murmur of astonish ment, and tho Dakota man continued: "I got a letter from a man who lives In my orchard, just beforo 1 left home, and it had boon three weeks getting to tho dwelling-house, altho' it had traveled day and night.'' "Distances aro pretty wido, up there, ain't they ?" inquired otio. "llcasonably, reasonably," replied tho Dakota man. "And tbo worst of it is, it breaks up families to.

"Up there wo send youug married couples to milk tho cows, and their children bring homo the milk." "Do you lovo me, Gertrude?"

The voxed question of crinoletto has been partially solved by the introduc tion of n singlo baud oi steel intro duced into the voluminous folds of tho back breadths of a skirt so as to unite them uud give tho amplitude of an nntiquo toumiere. Although ap parently simple, tho adjustment of this incipient, hoop is difficult, for the graceiul fall of tho drapery is entirely dependent ou tho correctness of its position. Hence, in this case, sius ot omission should be lightly condemned, for a negltct to comply with tho sug gestions of fashion is rather praiee worthy than otherwiso, when tho graceful olements of a lady's attire may bo imperiled by faulty crinoline. - Hour,, f , , . .' i Don't Aiiolimii thu Fuk Sys tkm.

Paris True Kcitluckian. W. P. Walton, of tho Intkriok Journal, has ventured on tho exper iment of making his excellent paper a semi-weekly.

Wo have re ceived several conies of tho tenn- weekly Interior Journal, published at Stanford, Ky., by our old acquain tance Mr. Wm. P. Walton. It is a twenty-eight column paper, very neatly gotten up, well printed, and bIiows evident signs of ability it its editorial department. Wo aro much pleased to note tho success which has attended friend Walton in his Ken tucky homo, nnd wish him abundant success nnd prosperity in his new ven turethe Semi-Weekly Journal. That excellent nnd reputable jour nal, tho Mt. Stcrliug Sentinel, U mor tified over the fact that iu representa tive in tho legislature, II. T. Dcrick son, in violation of his pledges, ap peared on tho Mt. Sterling streets in an intoxicated condition. This thing of electing drunkards to office is dis reputable in the democratic party. Years ago wo made up or mind that wo would nover again voto fer any man, nominee or no nominee, who is in the habit of getting drunk. It every decent democrat iu the State would adopt a similar resolutiou, and stick to it, tho result would bo as sur prising as it would provo beneficial to the public weal. While we recognize the necessity for party discipline nec essary to unity of action, we s out with scorn the idea that the voter shall degrade, his manhood, at tbo lulls by uupjurtiui; a druukurd tor olfico If we are forced to choose I between a drunkeu democrat aud a sober republican, we will uot he-dilute a momeiitin votti'g for the latter.

The genuine sugar manufactured from tho cano bus a market value now much below what it would be wero it uot for tho tons of glucose being annually extracted irom ludiau corn. A plan is now on foot i..n h. i.. r.,il , Philadelphia to reinforce tbe market for sweets by mauufaqturiug glucose out of cassava, a root of the huphorbia family uud growing extensively in South America and the West Indies. It is claimed that seven hundred bushels of this root can lie raised on a singlo acre, and that each bushel will produco thirty pounds of glucose. This yield is greatly in excess of the yield from ludia com, aud the sweet is said to bo of a superior quality.' A One Galwwbuu Leqihlatuhi:. It is a pity that the Sovereignty bill could uot bavo made a better showiug iu tbo Legislature tbau it did. It is a wise measure uud affords the ouly plan by which au antiquated Constitution cau ever bo reached. The mawkish seutimeulnlism which pre vents wUe men from favonug this means of amendiug that veuerable document is u species of monkeying with tho iuterests of a new and better civilization which smacks too much of the age of tho low-liueu shirt uud the ouo gallows trousers.

Albert Hern, n young printer of Pottsville, Pa., inspired by low for a young lady to do something to tatter his condition, went, several years ago, on a prospecting tour to uoiorauo. Ho was snowed up for sovcral months in the Gunnison country, and never saw n human face. In tho spring he continued work on a claim he called tho Eva Veil, but the little money ho K)meid was soon exhausted, and he was hopeless, when a party of New York capitalists came along and of fered $20,000 for a two-thirds interest in the miuc, they agreeing to work it and givo him n third of the profits. Ho joyfully agreed, and in a week's timo he was on his way to his former homo to clnim tho hand of his sweet heart. Hardly had he been comforta bly settled when he was offered $80, 000 for his remaining ono-third inter est in tho Eva Bell, so that his mining speculation yielded him $100,000. A Philadclphinn has had a similar expo rieuco of sudden good fortune when reverses had made him hopeless. He had worked a claim until be had spent all that ho possessed, and returned to Philadelphia in timo to witness the constable disposing of his household effects. The next day ho received a tele gram offering him $50,000 for his in terest in a mine that ho thought was worthless. He is not pressed for money now. . Eight Hundred Tons of Silrer. Tho counting of the coin in the Sub-Treasury in New York, attending its transfer to the now Treasurer, Mr. Acton, affords an impressive illustra tion of the extent to which the vaults aro encumbered with silver dollars of recent coinage. The quantity of sil ver included in the transfer is stated as eight hundred tous avoirdupois, nearly two-thirds of which consist of these dollars, the rest being subsidiary pieces of fractional denominations. Estimating tho weight of a silver dol lar roughly as an ounce, eight hun dred tons are twenty-five million, six hundred housand dollars. A young man at Paris, Tenn called ou a young lady, in company with a male acquaintance. After couple of hours of small talk, that first young man was called outdoors a moment by his malo friend, who drew a bottle from his pocket and asked bint to drink quick, beforo they were detected. The flask went up, tbe liquor weut down with a musical gur gle; but here the fluid stopped, the gurgle ceased, the young man's eyes shot heavenward, and his hands sought repose beneath hU vest. His friend had ruu in a pint of castor oil on him, aud ho wiq, not well.

As ho ap proached, ou his hands and knees, Tommy asked, "Is she after you, too?" "Honors Were Easy." The head and front ot this establishment was introduced a slmrt time ago to one of our State Senators, as the editor ol the Georgetown Times.

An Absent-Minded Gentleman. A good joke is told of ono of the business men at Montpellcr, who stepped Into tho post office the other forenoon, leaving his horso outsido. On coming out ho walked a short dis tance with a gentleman, conversing on business, after which ho started for his place of business, and nt noon went home. On reaching there he proceeded to his stable to care for his horse, and was somewhat alarmed to find the animal missing, nndofcourto supposed it had been stolen. He im mediately sought a sheriff, whom he dispatched in ono direction, sent a man to Barre to bead tho thief offin that direction, and late in tho after noon was rushing to the printing oflico to get out posters for bis apprehen sion, when a moments reflection brought tho truo state of tho case to his mind, whereupon ho proceeded to the pott office, where he found the animal bitched to a ring ou the oppo site sido of tho road, it having evi dently started for home, but had been stopped by sorao one. Monlpelier (Vt.) Argus. m - We are requested to warn our read ers against a young man who goes about representing himself as a theo logical student in waut of money. He has various pretences with which he imposes upon tbe benovolent aud gul lible.

The old saying holds good aud if you givo to those peripa tetic swindlers, you are a fresh proof that "a fool and his money -are soon parted." The dispatch stating that the King of Ashantee bos murdered two hun dred more girls to get blood to mix mortar for his now palace is crowded out this morning. It is not a great pieco of news, anyway. Tho thing happens too ofteu to be interesting. It is as monotonous as the brick lay er's yell for "more mortar." If the King of Ashantee wants to build a shanty in this way, it lies between bim and the supply of girls. He is not ham pered by a Legislature.
