J AN UNKNOWN FRIEND. ; ITnlf-Moon was a new mining camp in a deep canon at the head waters of the Gunnison. One of 'hat adventurous . 1 class known as 4 prospectors" had, in I , the fall of 1881, wandered through '.hat [ country, following a burro which bore upon its back all his worldly wealth, j and had brought into winter (juarters in ( the valley of the Arkansas such promis-; ( ing specimens of brittle and ruby silver , that many, seeing the m, were induced to j go in the spring to spy out the land. And so it happened, on a March night in ^ 1882, that a dozen camp-fires were brightly burning, a dozen tents were ^ dimly outlined in the shadows and openings of the stunted pines, and forty or ^ fiftv men. in rrrouDS of from three to six, . were gathered around the tires smoking their evening pipes and relating their experiences and wonderful finds of the year before. Among fifty men brought together from every part of the: world, in a wild country, by a purpose born, to some extent at least, of selfishhess and greed, some are likely to be found in whom brutishness predominates. There were several such in the camp at Half-Moon. Bill Lewis had seen nature in all her majesty, moods and aspects for more than thirty years; had traversed the country from the Missouri to the Pacific shore; lunched 011 the highest summits and camped in the deepest gorges. And yet his depravity was immense! He had * been convicted of a dozen crimes, and committed an hundred others without ( conviction. There was another man?or rather boy ?in that camp; but he could not be seen j that evening around any of the fires. He * had come into the gulch in a crowd of seven, who had been on thefc trail some a twenty days together, and Bill Lewis was another of the seven. His name was Zeno Brown. Ilis comrades had failed J to catch or comprehend his first name, and he had come to be called "Little John." He would have been remarked anywhere in a mining region as one wholly 1 out of place. He was light, delicate and . fragile?though seemingly in good health t before coming to the gulch?and was illy fitted to meet the vicissitudes of a inoun- I 1 ain life. He might have been horn for ; , an artist or poet, or both; he certainly I was never intended for a miner. ? In cominj; into the gulch the party had j an unusually serious trip. The trial was I ill}' defined; the snow was deep and soft, J t they had been compelled to unpack their : j animals a score of times, and to sleep in wet clothes and wet snow. For all this, . however, most of them cared hut little. t They were not invalid tourists, and they t had crossed the ratine too many times in bad weather to be much troubled by one triD more. ^ But with Little John the case was dif- , ferent. He had never before been thus , exposed, and was evidently not sustained , to any considerable extent by a hopeful j spirit, and he had succumbed, lie lay in his tent in his rough blanket bed, sick, , prostrated, exhausted. They had been talking of him around t the fire when some one, coming from a tent in a grove near by, said: " I think Little Johu'llgo up to-night. ' He's crazy now. an' thinks he's in Ohio; an' keeps talkin' of his mother." Bill Lewis, before silent and sullen, , started up at oncc. 44 I'll go see the kid,"' } he said. , lie went, and all followed in wonder. The bed wis warm enough, and soft enough. But it and its surroundings were terribly rough for one like him in ( his condition. The paleface amid the shaggy blankets, lit up by a tallow candle 1 burning in a can; the saddles, ropes, j kettles and tools scattered around among the bushes upon the earth lloor?all together formed a scene weird and impressive. "Pards! that ycr kid must be saved," said Bill Lewis. '"If you fellers have a J mind to turn in an' help?well an' good; but anyhow, that kid's going to be saved ! for his mother J" It was thirteen miles east over the range to the nearest cabin. The summit was nearly fourteen thousand feet in height, and upon it a storm was raging. ! inc spurs io me norm nnu west ?cre utterly impassable. The only way out was ! down the gulch by the same route over ! which they had recently come in. Al- 1 though by this trail there would be no i storm, there was worse. There were ' slides, precipices, and difficulties innuni- ' erable. Beside, it would only lead into 1 the broad valley of the Gunnison. The ' range must yet be crossed to the east be- 1 fore a railroad town could be reac hed or ' the advantages of shelter and medical at- 1 tendance secured. They believed the ! boy would die before morning. How, 1 then, could he be saved ? ' "Bill, seeing their tjuestioning looks, answered them: ' "Pee here, pards; the boy ain't near so sick as ye think lie is. lie's tired, ware J out, an' teetotally discouraged: but he's young, ain't burnt out with whi.-kv!? j an' in my opinion's more homesick tiian sick. I've seen them feliais before. If we can make him understand there's a chance of his gittin' home, he'll hang on so we kin git him home. I'll rig a litter on Balaam (Balaam was Bill's burro), an' we'll take him down the valley to Taylor Creek. A couple o' you fellars kin then cross the range by Brush Creek trail to Copper Creek, an" git more fellars thar, an' meet me an' the kid on the summit of Red Mountain. Ther's an empty cabin i at timber-line on the west o' Bed Mountain, an' meet me thar an hour by sun to- ' morrow. If yer hustle yer'll git thar. Ycr ought ter fetch up by midnight on the summit." It is useless to attempt to convey an idea of what this plan involved. They were ready in an hour. J5iii rigged a litter upon his burro, as Indians do, and in it placed Little John. At 11 o'clock the procession started down the gulch. There were two men beside Bill. While these went forward and picked out the trail, Bill attended to the litter. Their progress was slow and their mishaps many, but without serious accident they reached the valley at daylight, and at 12 o'clock were at Taylor creek. Little John was no worse. lie was < partly conscious and had been made to understand that he was going toward < * home. Bill's assistants were to leave him at this point, and he delivered a last 1 injunction. # ; "Now, pards, let's have no hitches, i I kin make the cabin in five or six hours i easy enough, an' shall stop thar an hour < to rest an' warm. If I kin make the i next two miles over the summit the ; thing's done. If it's quiet-like, mebbe I 3 kin make it. If it storms?God help us. < You must be thar at the summit at mid- < night. If the snow's drifted bad, Ba- i laam can't make it, an' we'll have to t carry the boy. When you git thar, if it < storms, hunt 'round, an' yer'll find me 1 an' Balaam an' the kid soincwhar in the t snow. Now git; an'?an'?if you ever loveti yer mothers?don'tj-ou fail!'' ind at six o'clock were in the timber of Copper Creek on the eastern slope. In a ew minutes more they were in a snug abin by a glowing tire, telling their story to four fearless, big-hearted miners. They all knew JJill Lewis, and thought w could win if any man could; but they :iad little hope of finding Little John dive. They all, however, willingly made ready to set out. They had eight miles of comparatively easy trail, which they thought they could do in three hours, leaving them two Hours m wnicu to climb the two miles from timber-line to Red Mountain summit. Without [jreat difficulty they reached tlie foot of the slide in the time proposed. One by one they crawled up the fearful winding way. Not a word was spoken. No one had heart to speak or breath to spare. Even minutes seemed long in a time and pi ice like this, and it seemed mi age before they saw the top, and, oh, liow Ionic before they reached it! They had hitherto been warm enough. But when they turned the summit the cold west wind chilled them through. There was no snow falling, but the wind was driving and swirling the recent snowin small cyclones of horror around their dirinking forms. In a moment they had ibandoncd every hope. There was no Hill Lewis there. There was no council held; there was ih> time for that,; but instinctively every man rushed forward for some slight shelter. Onward they went, at times easily and rapidly over the hard, old snow, and then struggling through deep Irifts, until, half a mile from the summit, they saw something dark in the snow ihead. t. i.i t.? Tint wi>ri> li IJU muiiiu^ vi^v. .. v-. x, :hey alive or dead? (iootl, faithful Balaam! no man shall ibuse thee more. Brave Hill Lewis! Thy -ins be forgiven thee! Bill had worked his way up rrom the abin by tramping the snow in front of Ualaam, a hundred yards at a time, and join" over the ground several times until lie animal could pass through, and then i cheating for another hundred feet. This le had done in biting blast and blinding mow, never faltering, never despairing, Tor six lontr hours. Bill's greeting was characteristic: "Well done, pards! I know'd you'd onie. The kid was better at the cabin; >ut whether alive or dead now I don't <now. Look an' see." Little John was alive and warm. "Now, pards, there's six of you.

Balaam an' I'll go back :o the cabin, an' come over in the mornn'. You kin wait for inc. I'll come ? "or I've learnt sumthin' at that thar abin. an* I'm goin' to see this thing hrough!" The six men took up the litter, and i*ill and Balaam went hack to the cabin it timber line. The next morning was a bright one on he eastern slope of the main range. Low lown on the big timber, nestled in a ivarm nook, with an eastern and southern exposure, was a miner's cabin. Already lie water was dripping from the roof-logs ivhieli overhung the front; the pile of nineral specimens on the rude shelf bcddc the door sparkled in the sunshine; he doir basked upon the chips; the burns rubbed their necks together at the vat er in "-place; the fire was snapping in he rude forge, and a miner was heating i md pounding his drills and picks. Other lien were sitting on the shafting timbers .vhicli were piled around, smoking their ripes and talking of the sick boy who lay .vithin. Little John had already made his way 0 these stranger's hearts. He was not delirious now. But he was iale, and wore a hopeless look that was )itiful. >o one of them thought he had ;et come out from under the dark shad>w, and there was u sadness In their faces tnd a hush in their voices. After a few hours Bill came. The miners iroposed to go to the railroad station for 1 physician and such delicacies ns mining j amps do not afford. Bill accepted the 1 iroposition in regard to the delicacies, >ut insisted that he himself would be the mrse and physician.

"IIcv yer got any plans 'bout this :id ?" Both answered that they had not. They left even thing to him. " This kid wuz clear-headed at the abin on t'other side, an' him an' me i alked. We've talked here. An1 you see. I ie wuz a clerk orsumthin* in a bank, back I n ()hio, an' there wuz money stole!

D'ycr sec ?" Three days afterwards they put Little John in a sleeping car, with a ticket anp fifty dollars in his pocket, and on the same day a draft for ten thousand dollars was mailed to his mother in a letter of remittance signed "Ax Unknown Fkiend." "Colds" and "Chills." Says the London Lmirel: AY hat is a sold? It is a disturbance of the balance between the several parts of the nervous system, brought about by the shock of a sudden or prolonged exposure to the depressing effect of "chill;" although the wine physiological results may be proluced in the organism by the operation jf any agent winch is capable of giving :he nervous system a similar shock, and bus creating the same kind of disturbince. Nature's provisions against the :onsequences of a "chill'' and for the prevention of a "cold" arc sneezing and shivering. A violent tit of sneezing often saves a chilled body the consequences of the nerve depression, or "shock," to which it has been subject; and this shock may in its first impression lie very limited in its area; for example, the small extent covered by a draught of cold air rushing through the crevice of a door or windowJJ The nerve centers arc aroused from their "collapse ' i>y tiic* commotion or ex- i plosive influence of the sneeze. If j sneezing fails, nature will try a shiver, j which acts mechanically in the same way. If this fails, the effects are likely to he very serious, and bad consequences may ensue. The popular notion rcvcr.-cs the order of events, and hence the savin#: "If there is sneezing the cold will be slight, if there is shivering it will be grave;" whereas it is slight when sneezing suffices to recover the nervous system quickly from its depression, and grave when even strong shivering fails to do so. In case of chill, with threatened cold, sneezing may be produced by a pinch of snuff of any kind. This is how some of the vaunted "cures of cold by snull are brought about. Or brisk exercise may ward off the attack. The popular idea is that the circulation is restored by these remedies, but the true explanation is that the nervous system and centers are aroused. The first step toward an intelligent treatment of chill and cold is a ?ci ntific recognition of their nature A School in Tunis. We visited a college for young boys in Tunis, (North Africa) writes a correspondent. The class-rooms were small, withou windows, and lighted from the entrance :loor only. Little benches a foot high were used for desks, the scholars and teachers sitting on the floor. They all studied aloud. Each scholar in reciting look his seat directly in front of the teacher, and within easy reach of his rod, both continually swaying their bodies back and forth. Most of the professors were quite young men, with very intelligent faces. French is considered very essential in the education of boy The poor girls are not jducated at all, very few being able to ead. We only heard of three who had his accomplishment, and these were the laughters of the secretary of the bey. rhc women spend their time in making heir clothes, dressing and sleeping. Italy has altogether abolished capital )unishment. The application of the leath sentence practically ceased in 1874. HUMOROUS PRESS STORIES.'11 ni it LAUGHABLE LINKS FROM ".HE PUN- (.

J* Probably !is laughable a thing as lias ^ been seen in a long time took placc at Janesvillc at the '?rand Army reunion a jj couple of weeks Lgo. There was to be a baked bean banquet for the visiting vet- jj crans, and half the families in town fur- j., nished a pan of baked beans for the oe- jj CiLsion, sending them to the armory late v in the afternoon piping hot. A couple of boys, sons of a soldier, were entrusted ? with a large pan of red hot baked beans to take downtown, and they put the pan 011 a hand-sled aud started. Arriving at the top of the big hill, where the road runs straight down into the business street, the temptation to ride down was too great, and the boys got on the sled with the pan of beans in front of them, !l steaming hot. They started. Every crossing they struck a gob of the beans **' would 11 y out, and before they were :'! half down the hill the boys were cov- " ercd with beans from head to foot. They n shut their eyes and let the sled "went." 11 A girl stood by a crossing as they passed, and as the sled struck a hummock, a handful of beans hit the girl in the hair. P and as the hot mass began to heat up she w felt that the hairs of he head wercnum- v bered, and put her hand to her head, and 11 when the beans burned her hand she yelled lire and went away on a gallop. A dog ran along beside the sled and barked ** at the boys, but a quart of beans struck s: the doir and the weather was too warm for him, and lie ran away with a hot box.The sled finally turned over and boys. beans and sled rolled and slid for half a * block, and the street was paved with w good intentions and baked beans. The boys got up, scraped the beans oJT o! v" their clothes, thought the matter over " a minute, when each took hold of a side : * of the empty pan, and they carried it! '' down to the armory, and reported to the s' committee on beans. The circumstance 11 was related to the soldiers, and the 11 empty pan, the hand-sled and the boys decorated with beans created as much amusement for the old veterans as any ^ one thing. " a cnusiiKD iiazkus." h Everyone knows of the trick that was played some two years ago by a ffcsh- , man at I'rinceton college, at which time J the custom of " hazingin a really brutal 1 manner was so prevalent there. The hazing gang of sophomores that year ] were so rough and cruel that the faculty ? was at its wit's end to devise some means for its suppression. One or two cases of 1 severe and lasting bodily injuries to the 1' victims placed so serious an aspect upon ! matters, that applicants for scholarships were few. At this juncture the father of 11 a new man, who had incurred the enmity of the hazcrs by stubbornly resist- [ ing their attacks, conceived an ingenious i1 idea, lie quietly hunted up Sullivan, ,v took him up to Princeton, had a conference with the president of the college, and the same day the champion, who bore the appearance of a meek-looking young man with eye-glasses and a bad cough, was entered as a student and as- . signed a room in the dormitory. ; That night about twenty of the * " Wahoos,*' as the hazers called them- . selves, stole softly to the new member's room. Having arranged their "ear twisters," ' toe pinchers " and other instrumeuts of torture to their satisfaction. 1,1 they took ojf their coats, rolled up their sleeves and tapped gently on the door of their victim, who mildly invited them in. v The invaders lit the gas, and beheld s< the new coiner lying in bed, smoking a I tJ cigarette, and benignly regarding the si mob through his goggles. si "(Jet np there, Freshie. We're going 1J to have some fun with you,*' they said, b " Not really?" said the victim, with a tl hollow cough. "Yes; look spry now!" c "Well, if I must, I suppose I must,"' j p whimpered the new man, jumping out ' p on the floor. The next moment the ring I <1 leader of the inquisitors got a "facer" ii that drove him clear across the room and l si through the sash of a window. s| The survivors of what followed all <1 agree that language fails to do justice to ; e the scene. Sullivan kicked the door! p shut, and then sailed in and began pil- j ing up the dead. Some of them didn't I I. get around again for three weeks, and I h half a dozen badly llattencd " Sullivan" j e noses can be seen in this year's gradu- : fi ating class. ! a This is the story most of our leaders : a have heard. The result was 10 entirely h abolish "hazing" at l'rineeton until the | <; beginning of the present session, when j v the old custom started in with renewed I t' vigor. , h A student named Harrison, from Clove- j t land, learned that his "den" was to be j h raided upon a certain night. That day j h he repaired to the outskirts of the town, j a and by means of a cabbage, decoyed to ; his room, under cover of darkno s, a pe* c culiarly vigorous and vindictive billy- u goat, the terror of that quarter. i f He had kept the animal in a pacific J li frame of mind by much provender until i d the hour for the assault. When the j i freshman heard the stealthy gathering of c the class outside the door, he turned olF t the gas; gave the goat a few jabs with a li penknife to liven it up, and dodged be- I a hind the door. b As soon as the besiegers had rushed in j t< he shut the door, locked it, and hastily t climbed upon the wardrobe, being just in c time to escape the first rush of the hilly, < who knocked three men over the bed the li very first biff. s The pandemonium of shrieks, curses t and butts lasted for some live minutes, b Then a forlorn hope of battered hazers rj lanaged to grope their way to the door / nd tear it open. As they tumbled out lto the now crowded hall half a hundred xcited voices asked what the matter 1 as.

Wishy-washy, empty, s Vl.MVA* l'wl"v 11 fen who never move never run against ? nything: and when a man is thoroughly a ead and utterly buried, nothing ever ins against him. To be run against is ? roof of existence and position; to run n gainst something is proof of motion. j, 2. An enemy is, to say the least, not 0 nrtial to you. lie will not flatter. He j ill not exaggerate your virtues. It is j; cry probable that he will slightly mag- f, ify your faults. The benefit of that is ^ ivo-fold; it is to permit you to know p tat you have faults, and are, therefore, j, ot a monster, and it. makes them of such ,, ze as to be visible and manageable, j, if course, if yon have a fault, you desire s, ) know it; when you become aware that (] oil have a fault, you desire to correct it. j, our enemy dous for you this valuable ], ork which your friend cannot perform. 0 In addition, your enemy keeps you j, iile awake. He does not let you sleep j, t your pnst. There arc two that always t( ecp watch?namely, the lover and the s ater. Your lover watches that you may v ecp. lie keeps oil" noises, excludes ighi, adjusts surroundings, that nothing v lay disturb you. Your hater watches v lat you may not sleep. He stirs you up 0 hen you arc napping. He keeps your c u nities on the alert. Even when he ocs nothing lie will have put you in such j state of mind that you cannot tell what ., e will do next, and his mental qui vive j] lust be worth something. f, 4. lie is a detective among your ^ riends. You need to know who your v riends are, and who are not, and who n re your enemies. The last of these three SI ill discriminate the other two. When f( our enemy goes to one who is neither ^ riend nor enemy, and assails you, the ulifTerent one will have nothing to say r chime in, not because lie is your enemy, ut because it is so much easier to assent nan to oppose, and especially than to ti jfute. lhit your friend will take up udgels for you on the instant. He will env every thing and insist on proof, t ml proving is very hard work. There . not a truthful man in the world that mild afford to undertake to prove one- ^ ;ntli of all his assertions. Your friend ill call your enemy to the proof; and if :te indifferent person, through careless- o ess, repeats the assertions of your enemy, ti e is soon made to feel the inconvenience icrcof by the zeal your friend manifests, ti 'ollow your enemy around ami you will a nd your friends, for he will develop In-ill so that they cannot be mistaken, j, The next best thing to having a hun- u red real friends is to have one open iieniy.r?Iter. Dr. Jhtum. Too Fat for Hie Pari. Probably very few of my readers, a rites a Paris correspondent, have ever . en the opera which Verdi wrote upon le story of Schiller's ' Robbers." Fewer { ill. in all probability, know the curious Lory connected with its performance in 'aris, from no fault of the composer. ' ut from the unfortunate rotundity of le principal performer. In Schiller's drama, much of the inter- c st turns upon the ill treatment of the oor old father by his two cruel and de- !.1 raved sons, who starve him almost to catli. The opera contains a very touchig and beautiful aria for the bass, de- ' motive of his silverings, in which lie j' |ie:iks of his starved and emaciated con- ll it ion in terms which are intended to l1 xcite the extreme of compassion 011 the art of the audience. When the play was cast in Paris .ablache was in his prime, r.ot only as to is magnificent voice, but also to a certain xpansion of waist and rotundity of *' gure of which he was by 110 means shamed, but which his enemies describe s unmitigated fat. As ill-fortune would a avc it, Verdi's heavy father had to be a iven to the basso, and Lablache not . ithout some secret misgivings, uma-i- i >; t)ok the part. A little titteriuir great eel ; t is delivery of the lines in rehearsal, and | s lie basso himself was somewhat nervous, j ut when the night eainc he surpassed i n imself, and the curtain fell on the first I j. et amid thunders of applause. Hut the moment of trial was yet to v ome, and when, on the curtain rising pon the second act, I.ablache waddled or ward to^the footlights, and with his ' ^ mge voire and enormous chest began to j * leliver himself of the father's miseries. I ' twastoomueh for the risible faculties j f the audience, and when the giant in j 1 ones of thunder, appealed to them to | . aok upon his wasted limbs and emaci- | ,! ted frame, the merriment burst all j ' ounds, and amid convulsions of laugh- v cr which shook the house, Lablache re- v ircd, vowing vengeance upon all con- s erned in what he was determined to onsider a personal insult. Verdi, I be- d ieve, managed to pacify him by his as- li urance of the absence of any such in- s ention on hia part, but the opera had to 11 e withdrawn from the boards, and has n iroly been seen since. e L GREAT CITY'S NOTABLES. 'EOMUTENT PEOPLE PBOME27ADINGIX SEW YOEK. omc \oicd iTlen and Women Seen on Crowded Fourteentli Street, and How Tlicj Looked. Joseph Howard, Jr., in one of his reczy letters to the Philadelphia Prm, iiy.s: Like Broadway and Twenty-third ircot, Fourteenth street is a paradise for n<r,r:irH tlir; tricks and manners of some f thein equaling anything done by their rofcssional examples in sunny Italy. 'Iiere is still a great deal of human naure in ju-ojile, so that what interests an idividual is quite certain to interest a rowd. Among the pushing, hauling lirong that gathered about the attractive isplays of the shop windows this mornlg, moving rather slowly along, was a raceful woman about the medium height, he was accompanied by a friend with hom she chatted with much animation, lie wore a kind of zebra costume, with at to match, and met the many stares liat greeted her as though she was quite ccustomcd to that manner of complilcnt. It was interesting to see how the riples of curiosity behaved. For some litle distance Mrs. Langtry and her comanion woulJ walk without attracting a article of attention. Now and then some asser would be attracted by her attire, r her face, or her walk, but once in a bile she met people who recognized her matures. In an instant, and as though y magic, the crowd knew it too. "That's Langtry." "Where?" "There?that tall woman in the striped loak." "You don't say so. Well, she is prct y, isn't she?" "I don't think she is any bettor looking liati I am." ".Nonsense! She's a beauty." And so n, until the throng became somewat emarassing. Just as quickly, and without ny apparent reason, the crowd of rccogizers melted away and fresh faces "who new not" Lily took their turn. On this ccasion Mrs. Langtry appeared to be in articularly happy spirits, and laughed nd talked as though she were a school irl on a holiday. Not half a rocl behind Mrs. Langtry talked Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, whose catures in other years, when her field of ctioti was the academy and Field Marhall Stebbins was at the head of opera ndeavors here, were more familiar to he general public than they are now. Iiss Kellogg's characteristic drive and nergy are well known to all who have lealt with her. She literally plucked he flower of fortune from a sterile field, nd grasped her lyric scepter with a land from which nothing but relentless line could nave wresteu lr. one wuirs, s she docs everything, with a will, and, pparentlv ignorant of the proximity of Irs. Langtry, she passed along and head of her, and was soon lost to view; nd, by an odd coincidence, almost immediately after Miss Ivellogg had gone here loomed up the sturdy portliness of lax Maretzek, under whose baton Miss Cellogg won ninny honors and gained inny shekels. Max is older than when le and his old rival, J. Gran, made fun f each other's work and kept the public 11 a fever of expectation, but he doesn't how his age. lie is as full of life and lash as ever, abounding in reminiscences nd as ready to talk and laugh and joke s of old. Jlis walk is quick, nervous nd pushing, and his restless eyes take n all there is to be seen. Actors are like children in many repoets?nervous, jealous and easily disurbed?but they are generally friendly nth each other, and full of genial comlanionship in, as well as out of the 'profession.'' John McC'ullough, 'liilly" Florence and Charles Wyndham re tolerably well known men, and to cc the trio in a Fourteenth street promnade is a treat which thousands of their dmircrs have enjoyed within the week. IcC'ullough is tall, straight, stoutishly nelined, and extremely dignified in pubic. Florence is shorter, stouter, and ias a never quiet twinkle in his eye, rhicli defies a superabundance of dignity t any time. Wyndham is taller, slighter, nd more willowy than his friends, and as acquired a degree of Anglican rnanerism. to which thev. of course, are (rangers. With heads totally different, laying in lines of business that have otliing in common, these actors, as men, re peculiarly fond of each other's society. That two clergymen should be seen ear to each other, but not together, is ot strange. No two actors of any promiicnce could be within a block of each tlier without a "Jlello" at least, 'heology is different. Henry Ward ieccher has been preaching about arty-five years, of which more liau thirty have been spent in Irooklyn, which,so far as he is concerned, > part and parcel of New York. His Liddy face, whitened hair and rugged gitre are well known to tens of thouunds, and as he looked in the shop witiows at pictures, brass grates, fancy tilolg and magnificent rugs there displayed, e was literally the observed of half the bservers, to say the least. From a word e dropped to a friend it was evident e was on his way to the depot and thence a his home in I'eckskill (for he lontf ince gave up housekeeping in the city, i here he boards with his son in the winL*r), a beautiful spot for work or rest. It ,'as interesting to see how generally he . as recognized,and amusing to note how ften he touched his high felt hat and hcerfully saluted his accosting friends. A very different built man is the Rev. )oetor (). H. Frothingham, who is tall nd comparativaly slender, pale and genie in manner. Mr. Frothingham's riends are legion, and his writings arc nown throughout the English-speaking rorld; but he passed along the street allost unnoticed, occasionally exchanging -1~ > I""" or, ommninfiinf./i [Ill II" (I IK I UU? n 1111 (ill UWlJUMftilVU.lw, L'elin?x nt peace with himself, greater tian he who has conquered :i city. WISE WORDS. It is less pain to learn in youth than o be ignorant in age. A large mass of error is easily emalmed and perpetuated by a little ruth. By taking revenge a man is but even ritli his enemy; but in passing it over c is superior. Graceful manners are the outward form f refinement in the mind and good affeeions of the heart. A proud man demands of himself exlaordinaay ability; an arrogant man scribes it to himself. Opposition we want and must have to e good for anything. Hardship is the alive soil of manhood and self-reliance. Let a man have a fervant love for what 5 pure and just and honorable, let him ave a cordial abhorrence of what is I'nsual, mean, tricky and ungenerous, nd he will not go far wrong. Time has a doomsday-book upon whose ages lie is constantly recording illusriotis names. But, as often as a new ame is written there, an old one disppcars. Only a few stand in illuminated haracters, never to be effaced. The habits of children prove that ocupation is a necessity with the most of liem. They love to be busy, even bout nothing, and still more to be useidly employed, Children should be enouraged, or, if indolently disinclined to t, should bo disciplined into performing i>r themselves every little olliee relative i their toilet which they are capable of erforming. HEALTH HINTS. Simple emetic: Half a glass of warm atter; one heaping tcaspoonful of salt nd another of mustard. An invaluable remedy for a sprain or ipnise is wormwood boiled in vineirar ml applied hot with enough cloths round it to keep the sprain moist. Never wash in warm water before oing out into the cold air. Such a pracicc will roughen the skin. Warm water hould Ite used only before retiring. To keen in f^ood. sound health, one lust take a certain amount of exercise. Exercising one part of the body and not nother in about the same degree, is irong. On rising in the morning always put 11 the shoes and stockings the tirst tiling. Jever walk about in the bare feet or land on oil-cloth. Even in summer iine this is a dangerous and unhealthy iractice. It is said that the skin of a boiled egg < tlie most eflicacious remedy that can ic applied to a boil. Peel it carefully, ret and apply to the part affected. It i-ill draw olT th'e matter and relieve the orcncss in a few hours. On account of several recent cases of loath in England among children who lad been fed on wheaten biscuit, a phyician states in the liritix/t Mai teal Jour al that infants under six or eight lonths should be fed with nothing whatver but milk. NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN. Grenadine curtains edged with antique lace arc suggested for country houses. French fashion plates for spring show boulTant effects in the drapery of dresses. The trains of rcccntlv-madc French dresses measure nearly two yards and a half. Suits for the spring arc made with the peplum, each point being finished with a tassel. Of all the things that, man possesses woman alone takes pleasure in being possessed. French patterns imported for the spring trade appear in artistic English designs. The small bonnet is still in hiirh favor, and each dress should have one to go with it. A female cowboy?that is to say, a cowgirl?has been discovered in New Mexico. I A ti'AmonV' linnrf 11Irn flin irmnn 14 ill ways changing; hut there is always :i man in it. A Paris novelty is a wrap of silk or cloth with a border of fox tails arranged as a fringe. Parisian women arc; powdering their hair and arranging it a la Mary Stuart in the evening. Sleeves expand above the armsizc at the shoulder, and pull's arc added on top of the sleeve. Mantles and dolmans made of ramcFshair shawls have gone out of fashion and arc now seldom seen. Chenille trimmings in all shades and styles are the most popular trimmings for dress goods and wraps. The newest handkerchiefs have just the faintest suggestion of hem, and are made of plain white linen. Bonnet strings are now never tied under the hair and the back. They arc tied in a bow directly under the chin. Sometimes a fellow feels lonely, and would like to have some nice young woman to tell him how lonely he feels. Servant girls in Germany who remain in the constant service of one family for forty years receive a medal from th? cmpress when the case is made known to her. The empress of Austria's health has failed very much of late, and she has been suffering severely from rheumatism and sciatica?the penalty of rough ouP door exercise. All female medical students in Russia are compelled to reside in a house provided by the authorities, and to be at home before nine o'clock in the evening, because they arc suspected to have Nihilist proclivities. The most fashionable gloves are those made of tan and grey undfessed kid, in mousquctairc style. Lace or button gloves arc now seldom worn. Gloves arc now nerer drawn up over the sleeve, but arranged at the wrist in wrinkles. Polonaises made very long and litt. g perfectly will be as much worn this se son as they have been during the pas . Tlifv will lip. worn over chamois skin waists. Bands of feathers will be the trimming most used on these polonaises. Miss Nina Batchclor, of Kentucky, who, besides being the most beautiful woman in Paris, where her red-gold hair and dark eyes make a wonderful social sensation, is proclaimed by her professor. M. Saintpieyre, as a future star of the first magnitude in oil-painting. A recruit enlisted as Elisha Burton at a C'hicairo recruiting office, and all was well till he came to the medical examination. Then lie objected, and it came out that the lusty chap was Mrs. Lizzie Burton, who had taken that method of accompanying her husband, who had that day enlisted, to the tented field. A woman has been tending a switch at a railroad junction near -Macon, Ga., since 18(52, having succeeded her husband, who was switchman for ten years previous. She is at her post from six in the morning till G in the evening, and during the whole long period of her service has never misplaced a switch. She is sixty-two years old. Princess polonaises of plain velvet arc made with full pleats in the back and a pointed basque in front. This displays advantageously the front of a skirt of liroche velvet, or a satin skirt that has rows of sable fur down the front. When worn in the street a sable collarette and large cuflfs arc added, and a band of sable trims the velvet bonnet. "Mrs. Sheridan, wife of General SherL dan, is a great favorite in Washington. She lives on Sixteenth street, near Scott Oirvle, in a house which vas presented to her husband by the Chicago club, of which he was a member. Her afternoon receptions are always well attended,and, unlike the majority of people, she lias plenty of sunshine in her pretty parlor. She is very affable, making strangers feel comfortable, at the same time being rather dignified. . _ ?. _ .. Cost of the Capital I have been figuring up what this capital of ours has cost us since the beginning, and 1 find that the amount is over $100,000,000. The subject was investigated by Congress in 187(5. The total at that time was a cost of $1)4,302,423; since then $"),oOO.OOO has been paid out for public buildings alone, and the amounts paid out for works of art, park decorations and other things will run the total far ahead of the amount above stated. I For a number of years it has cost more than $1,000,000 a year to pay the government expenses of the District of Columbia, and since 1802 the amounts have been much higher. In 1873 the amount was more than $8,000,000. In 1873 it was more than $7,000,000, while from 1828 to 1852 it was less than $1, 000,000 a year. In 1814 only $1,800 was appropriated for the District of Columbia, and it was not until 1837 that the yearly proportion reached $1,000,000. It is interesting to look over the items of permanent improvements in Washington. These include the original cost of the buildings and their repairs, furnishing and keeping in order. The following estimate, though not exactly correct, is approximately so. It is less rather than greater than the actual cost, some of the minor expenses during the past seven years being omitted: The capitol has cost $17,(572,123; the patent ollicc, over $13,000,000; the treasury about $7,200,000; the Washington streets, more than j $(5,000,000; the state department about j $7,000,000; the navy nearly $4,000,000; the Whit.' house, two parks and public grounds, about $2^000,000.? )Yitnhington Ih'jmhlic. Eating Lemons. A good deal has been said through thp papers about the healthfulness of lemons. The latest advice is how to use them so they will do the most good, as follows: Most people know the benefit of a lemonade before breakfast, but few people know that it is more than doubled by taking another at night also. The way to get the better of a bilioussystem without blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of one. two or three lemons, as appetite craves, in as much water as makes it pleasant todrink without sugar, before going hod. In the morning, on rising, at least hall* an hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of wate. This will clear the system of humor and bile with cfliciciiry. without any of the weakening effects of calomel or congress water. People should not i irritate the stomach by eating lemons I clear; the powerful acid of the juice, I which is always corrosive, invariably ! produces inllamation after awhile, but I properly diluted so that it does not burn i or draw the throat, it does its medical work without harm, and when the | stomach is clear of food has abundant j opportunity to work over the system | thoroughly, says a medical authority.? | Hertford Times. j Cirrus Performers.

Rabbit tracks were plenti( fui, but they principally led in the direction of a krge swamp, in which the rabbits could nin without difficulty, but where the 1 hunter constantly broke through the thin ice, sinking into the half-frozen mire to his knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the writer had persevered, although a very small bag of game was r the result. While tramping about through a particularly malarial portion of the swamp, a middle-aged man suddenly came 1 into view, carrying a muzzle-loading shotgun ) and completely loaded down with game of the finest description. Natural curio>ity, aside from the involuntary envy that instinctively arose, prompted the writer to ent?T into conversation with the man, with the i following result: "You've bad fine success, where did you get all that game? knnn {** OrtTO mn " 111*111, IICIC, Ul I,U? -T .. u.,..,,. I "It's mvtty rough hunting in these parte, especial]v when a man goes up to his waist r every other step." ' "Yes, it's not very pleasant, but I am used to it and don't mind it." 1 "How long h ive you hunted hereabouts." "Why, bless you, I have lived hero most of my life and hunted up to ten years ago ever year." "How does it happen you omitted the last ten'years?" "Because I was scarcely able to move, much less hunt." "I don't understand you ?" f "Well, you seo, about ten years ago, after I had been tramping around, all day in the Rame swamp, I Idt quite a pain in my ankle. I didn't mind it very much, but it kept ' troubling ine for a day or two, and I could see that it kept inm-a-ting. The next thing I knew, I felt tho same kind of a pain in my shoulder and I found it pained mo to move my arm. This thing kept going on and in. creasing, and though I tried to skake off the feeling ami make myself think it was only a little temporary trouble, I found that it did not go. Shortly after this my joints began to ache at the knees and I finally became so _ iiad that I had to remain in tho house most of tho time." "And did you trace all this to the fact that you had hunted so much in this swumpf1 "No, I didn't know what to lay it to, but I knew that I was iD misery. My joints it swelled until it seemed as thoueh all the flesh 9 * had left was bunched at the joints; my Ingers crooked in' every way, and some of them became double-jointed. In fact; every C joint in my body seemed to vie with tho it others to see which could become the largest _ and cause me the greatest suffering. In this wav several vears uassed on, during which time I was pretty nearly helpless. 1 became it. so nervous and sensitive that I would sit bolstered up in the chair and call to people that entered the room not to come near me, J nr even touch my chair. While all this was going on, I felt an awful burning Ijeat ano k fever, with < ccasional chills running all over my body, but especially along nry back aha through my shoulders. Then again my blood u seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on fire." "Didn't ycu try to prevent all this agony?" "Try! 1 should think I did try. 1 tried y ivery doctor that came within my reach aut it ill the proprietory medicines I could hear of _ I used washes an l liniments enough to las1 me tor all time, but the only relief 1 receivet was by injections of morphine." u "Well, you talk in a very strange mannei tt for a man who lias tramped around on a da} ,. like this and in a swamp like this. Howii ) the world do you dare to do It?' "Because 1 am completely well and a ir sound as a dollar. It may se^m strange but it is true, that I was entirely cured; thi rheumatism all driven out of my blood; mi lc joints reduced to their natural size, and mi ? strength made as great as ever before, bj p means of that great and simple remedy, War (j ners Safe Rheumatic Cure, which I believi t saved my life.*' u " And so you now have no fear of rheums tism f'' n " Why, no. Even if it should come on, ' can easily get rid of it by using the sairn remedy." The writer turned to leave, as it was grow is ing dark, but before I had reached the eit; '9 precisely she same symptoms I had just heart 1 I described came upon me with great violence il | Impressed with the hunter's story, I trial th same remedy, and within twenty-four hour PC all pain and inflammation had disappeared ' If any reader is suffe-ing from any manrve ' of rheumatic or neuralgic troubles and de 't sires relief let him bv all means try this sam (1 great remedy.
