The ladies of Mattoon, Illinoifl, are mak ing a movo to secure a library and reading room. "The possession ot the manuscript of the first poem which Mr. Whittier ever publish ed, leads the Portland, Me., Transcript to recall the young poet's sensation when ho first saw his production in print. Ho was working one day with his uncle, repairing a stone fence, when the postman in passing tossed him a copy of the journal to which many weeks lnifore he had sent his poem. Tremblingly young Whittier opened the paper, to find the verses at the top of the first column. He was so delighted and be wildered that he stood looking at it for a long time, and is sure he did not read a word. At length his uncle called him back to his senses by bidding him keep to work." "Deae Stanley used to tell an anecdote of a visit to Queen Victoria by Carlyle, in company with other literary men, at her in vitation. She started as the subject of con versation with him, the probable future of the second French empire, a subject on which Carlyle was greatly at home. Both were standing when the talk began, and as be warmed with his subject, tie Queen still remained on her feet. He deircd greatly to sit down, being weary, and finally said to her: "If your Majesty would Lc seated: we could carry on the discussioi with more ease." Of course site had never realized his fatigue, but at once the Queen of England and probably tor tho first time in her life as a Queen. took a seat at the invita tion of a subject." In private we often hear it remarked how much illness has improcd a certain ler3on. No one can have fai.ed to observe how, in certain cases, prolonged ill-health has changed a brusque and self-centered woman into a gentle and sympathizing one, and has grafted on a careless and overbear ing man tho virtues of kindliness and con sideration for others. If this be so, disease cannot be the unmitigated misfortune that the healthy are apt to imagine it. If we consider the whole case, it must be con fessed that even ill health has its advant ages. Medical Examiner.. Mias Emily Faithful lias some sensiblo remarks in the London Echo upon the "curse of gentility." She says, in her ear nest, womanly way, that so far as move ments for women are concerned, until tho false and contemptible caste ideas, which have eaten into the very heart of our social life, are destroyed, all onward progress must inevitably be regarded, and women, when torced to work, will encounter diffi culties from which they might have been saved, had those who are responsible for their existence given them an education which is worthy of the name. For the most part they have been hitherto subjected to a process better bescribed as being dip ped in a thin solution of accomplishments which will not bear the tost of time, and which will never place them on tho first step of the steep ladder which has to be mounted before they can gain enough whereby to live. Tho shams of society, the pretension to seem what ono is not, and the miserablo desire "to keep up appearances," are tho foes they have to combat. Interior. Tub portrait of Cleopatra which wsb ex humed at Hadrian's Villa, near Rome, in 1818, has onco more come into prominenco through tho efforts of a prominent Neapo litan journalist to induce tho Italian gov ernment to purchaso it. At ono time a question arose whether the picture, which is on slate, was a truo antique or belonged to tho period of tho Rcnnaissanco. Chem ists wercr called in and decided that it was a truo encaustic painting, such as Pliny tho younger describes, and that its smooth ness and transparency were duo to tho ap plication of wax and tiro. In 180-4 tho pic ture was in Paris, whore it was much dis cussed and it is now in Italy again, the property ot Baron do Bennoval at Sorrento. '1 lie painting is ascribed to Thimomatus, a pupil of ApoUoii,and tho Neapolitan jour nalist makes out so good a case in favor of its antiquity that some of our long-pursed connoisseurs ought to show their Yankee enterprise by stopping in ahoad ot foreign purchasers and bringing Anthony's friend and her serpont to this country. As Now York is growing antiquated, that would be a good placo for it, and, while in tho busi ness, why not get tha muuimios of Thothmcs and Rameses, which have recent ly" been discovered, and bury them under theObolisk in Central Tark, which con tains their epitahphs?

Kline, East Berlin, Pa., writes in this wise: Some time ago, Mr. Michael Trostel. of Paradise Township, Pa., visited my store and complained of suffering with toothache and neuralgia in the face. Happening to have a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil open, I in duccd bim to rub his face therewith. It acted so quickly that when he left all pain had vanished. He took a bottle of the Oil for his wife who wa- sick a-bed with rheu matism. Scarcely two weeks had passed, when my friend and his wife returned, hap py over the result ot the Oil, as It had cured them almost instantly. IIdndbeds of men, women and children rescued from beds of pain, sickness and almost death and made strong and hearty by Parker's Ginger Tonic are the best evi dences in the world of its sterling worth.

NEW Made His Fortune, Among the pMSSRiignrs that boarded tho western-bound train last evening was Quang Long, Eq.,the washerman of Sevniith street. Seeing the reportm he became clamorous for a "personal" which he wauled inserted in this issue without any "dam foolne." "Going far, QuangP" asked the re porter. "Going home," was tho sententious replv. "Not to China?" "Yes." The reporter looked sit Quang's tick et and saw it wiw good for San Francis co and on to the port of Shanghai, iu the Celestial Empire. The pagan and reporter sat down to exchange fare wells. In their conversation Quang stated that ho had made enough money in Erie to support him and his family in affluence the remainder of his life. Ho had been nearly six years in Amer ica and had worked most industriously to attain the competence w ith which ho was now retiring from business. Sewn op in the lining of m pants he had fc'-ViOO in bills of 1100 denouinations. 'l inn sum ho will pay into t he Chinese Bunk, at California, in which ho has al ready quite a respectable sum deposit ed, ana will get a draft for the whole on a Chinese "money house," as he terms it. In a little pocket near the concealed bills ho wears a sharp-pointed dagger, and behind him he carries an arsenal of assorted firearms that not only impede his locomotion but will make it risky for those who share tho same car with him. He says the fortune he has made in washing shirts will b" its good as mil lions, ami henceforth he will bo a big man. a boss among his fellows. In his satchel he had quite a collection of spurious nickel, bronze and silvor coins which had been "shoved" on to him by unprincipled patrons before he became civilized to the extent of knowing good from bail money. "Going to give these to your children when yon have them. I suppose?" re marked the reporter. Quang shook his head and looked knowing. "Me going to pans 'em onCliineeman in San Fangsi.t'to just come over," said ho. And then tho reporter apologized for calliu-c Quang a pagan. Erit Jh's- pa ttli. Forced Marolie.s. In 1757 Frederick tho Groat marched about 100 miles in twenty days; and ngain, after ltossbach, a little greater distance in Giteen days, but lost 800 men through exhaustion. In 1760, with 40,000 men and 1.000 wagons, he ac complished about eighty milos in five days. The same year tho Austrian General Lnsc.y, with . 15,000 men, "knocked off" 180 miles in ten days. Prince Eugene, of Wurtemberg, to re lieve Berlin, made a forced march on the 4th of October, 1760, ot thirty-six miles iu ono d:ty. This latter does not approach tho feat of the 6th corps thirty-five miles in nineteen hours. It may be remembered by many of tliofij wno served with tne army or the foto mao that Itirney's 1st (Rod Diamond) division of the 3d corps bad won for thomselves the nicknamo of "Birnoy's foot cavalry," and this titlo was subse quently applied to tho 2d corps after the 3d corps was comblnod with it In regard to tho 3d corps army of the Potomao, tho writer feels that it de serves equal pre-eminence with the 3d corps of tho French army nndor Na poleon in the campaign of 1806. Of tho latter organization, Marshal Davouat said of this, hr .Icvi campaign, when tho emperor expressed his admiration of its achievements and his grief at its heavy losses, "Siro, the soldiors of tho 3d corps will ever be to you what the 10th legion was to Ciosar." (Alison, ii.. 4.17, 2.) The activity of tho 3d and of the combined 2d-3d corps rivaled that of Oudinot'a grenadiers, in Octo ber, 1RI, when they actually out marched cavalry, accomplishing twolvo leagues a day, and contributed chiefly to the capture of tho Austrian Archduke Ferdinand's column, which bad es caped from Ulra. (Jorvis, 154; Alison, ii., 351, 1.) In the pursuit of Loo tho 6th corps kept up with tho cavalry on the 6th so says Colonel Archibald Hopkins, 37th Massachusetts volun teers, in his account of (Little) Sailor's creek, 6lh of April, 1805 and it is claimed that the 5th corps had likewise, equaled tho speed of tho horsemen, prior to tho concentration at Jotors villo, evening of tho 6th. (Badeau'g "Grant," Hi., 658, 622-23, etc.) Tho Infantry, both of tho army of tho Poto mao and the army of Northern Virgin ia, justified Lieutenant General Baron Amhert's magnificent eulogy of the foot soldiers, whom he styles "tho sin ews of an army." (Jen. Bocho-Aymon says that cavalry is to infantry what poetry is to proso, and, if he meant ex actly what tlicso words express, it is not a bad oomparison, inasmuch as the world might go on without poetry, whilo it would l)o utterly impossible to got along without prose. Moreover, good poetry is very rare, whereas ex collunl prose is not. Poetry, too, while all very fine, Is at best no moro to real lifothan what dessert is to dinnor.- The United Service. m i a Thoio aro 16,000 oyster mon in Vir ginia, t Chinnso in Dourer Sunday-Schools.

There Is a good deal of dissatisfaction among tho young men who attend a certain Treshyterlan Sunday-school, whose only misfortune is that they were not born In China, at the way the Mongolians have taken their pfaoos. Tho Chinaman gets the most attention all the time. Veneer SERIES-NO. 349. Merican Propensity for Stealing. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Mexioo, says : "Washerwomen pawn the clothes of unsuspecting and trusting Americans when given them to be washed, and more than one engineer has had to visit some emprnn and pay down the cosh for garmuttts that were already his, to get them out of pawn. Either one by one or all in a lump, these gar ments are gathered into the maw of the Mexican "uuclo." The statement of my friend, tho machinist, may be color ed by a sad experience, but there is much truth in what he says; it is only fair toward those of our countrymen contemplating coming here to give the actual coloring of the dark side as well as the bright. In regard to stealing, this I know, that nothing along the line of the great "Mexican" railroad from Vera Crua to thn City of Mexico, is left outside after dark ; nothing that tho strength of two men can lift : Even tho car-couplings are taken inside the statiou and locked up. This road onco Introduced air-brakes on their cars, but the workmen punched holes la the pipes and stole the tubin jr, no they were taken off. On the "National" road, and doubtless on nil others also, they stole the bolts that fastened the rails to tbo ties, until thoy were finally riveted on. One of a gang of workmen under took to steal the cap of a cartridge of dynamite, and i he result was that he and several others wont to their reward. Instances might be multiplied to show that the bulk of tho mixed population of Mexico are thieves and betrg irs. It is impossible to mention the term steal ing without finding a victim. Two evenings ago I was at the house of a prominent American here, whose wife that very day hail had a valuable watch fctolen from her ; they were in consul tation that same day with the chief of polico about the possible recovery of some fut'tiituro stolen from them a few weeks botore. That afternoon I met a missionary, well , known hore, who showod me a watch that had been stolon from him and which he had only regained by paying $55 to recover it from pawn. The wife of a high Amer ican official in Mexico told me that sauio evening tint at the first ofliciui dinner given by her husband she lost so many spoons and forks- that there wero hardly any left that evening. Though thero is no other city of any size near this; though the streets swarm with policemen ami the customs offi cials search or have the rigiitto search all merchandise arriving and depart ing through the city gates, property once lost is rarely recovered. Even in the event of the identification and the arrest of the thief, it is so difficult to re cover stolen goods that they are in the majority of cases left with the magis trate.' i ' 1 A Russian Drink. Koosmos, or "kumyss," the Russian drink, which has been furnished the President is made of miik, sugar and yeast. In Russia mare's milk is used, but here they take that of a cow. It ja put up in bodies with patent stop pers, and so highly effervescent is it, that the only way to open a bottle with out losing the greater , quantity of its contents, Is to turn it head downward in a pitclier, closo the top of the pitch er with a cloth, and thon, inserting the hand, remove the clasp from the cork as gently, as possible. Its nutritive value is very great, and it is not now widely known on account of its ex pense, as generally sold. After the sugar and yeast an ounce of sugar and a piece oi compressed yeast about the size of a pea to each quart of milk has boon added, the fluid is allowed to stand in the bottles uncorked (the bottles not auite full) until fermentation has taken place, which will be the case in eighteen to twenty-four hours under favorable conditions. The bottles are then corked and placed in a cool place for a week or two, when the product is ready. The fermentation dovelops a small quantity of alcohol, but tho pe culiarity of the new milk is that the casein, iustead of being coagulated in large lumps, more or less difficult to di gest, is separated in a very finely di vided condition, so that it can be readily assimilated by the weakest stomach. Froyms. Metaphysical Discussion. Sheridan had a groat distaste to any thing like metaphysical discussions, whereas his son Tom had taken a lilt ing for thorn. Tom one day tried to discuss with his father the doctrine of necessity." "Pray, my good father," said he. "did you over do any thing in a state of perfect indifference withthout mo tive, I moan, of some kind or other?" Sheridan, who saw what was coming and by no moans relished suoh sub jects, even from Tom or- any one else, said: ' ; .it- ?. "Yes, cortainly." "Indeed!" ' "Yes, indeed." "What, total indifferencetotal, en tire, thorough indifference?" "Yes total, entire, thorough indif ference." , "My dear fathor, tell me what It is you can do with mind! total, entire, thorough indifference?" '. "Why, listen to you, Tom," said Sheridan. This robuff so disconcerted Torn that he neror forgot it nor diet he ever again trouble his father with -ny of his metaphysics. .t i :. , A western agricultural paper recom mends the culture, ot broom corn, which it predicts .will, at no distant day, en tirely revolutionize the bread stuff sup ply of the world. .
