In Debt or Out nf Debt.

Under the old Romans. the debtor who
could not satisfy his creditor, became tn,
slave of the man to whom he owed money!
1t would even seem, also, that in some cases,
the law Permits the creditor to put his debtor
to death, and this is not in the gcntcst man
ner either.
In this day. the debtor is no longer liabl,
TO be sold in open market to b. driven under
the whip, or to be tortured to death in re.
venge for having cheated his creditor. But
though he escapes being reduced to the nom.
inal condition of n slave, actually he is nc
longer his own master, but, in part, at least
belongs to anether.
The debtor cannot leave his State without
the consent Of the creditor. lie cannot en-.
joy the complete fruits Of his labor, for hc
has to pay interest on his debts. even when
he makes no attempt to liquidate the princi.
pal. He cannot even avail himsclfto the full
of the chances that furtunc presents, for he
dare not, in justice to his creditors, embark
in ventures of great hazard. The debtor is,
therefore, still in bondage. He is citizen
shorn of half his privileges. lie fills posi-.
ton of quasi slavery.
To every one who is in debt, we say, be.
gin from this hour to get out of it. else you
will lose all that is left in you which is noble
or independent or heroic. The longer you re.
main in debt, the more degraded you will
become. Don't put oft for single day be.
ginning to reform for the task will he the
harder with every hour Of delay. Be- up and
doing Now, or never LEDGER.

Arsenic Smokers.

speaking OF the same habit. refers to the state
mcntS OF M. monthly, French consul in Chi
Chinese. He says they mingle it in their
smoking tobacco. The custom is peculiar to
certain provinces. and SO common thar. ac-
cording TO the Testimony OF the missionaries
who lived Il long time there, tobacco, free

The publication of MoSTrSY'S statement

announces that some years ago. in the
course OF Il discussion at the Academy of
Mcdicain, on tie agents to be employed to
cure tubcrcular consumption, he told the as
scmblcd doctors that he had found but one
successful means Of combating that dreadful
disease; that means was the smoking of
arsenic. The doctor reatiirmed his common
daion of his remedy. How singular it would
be, il Il remedy for the wide spread plague of
consumption was to be found in the c counter

If one be particularly interested in any
young lady present in general company,
American etiquette explicitly demands that
one should give uncquivocal demonstrations
of the fact The lover must cling. like the
clam to rock. unto the side of his loved.
If the young lady Ainchcs, and intimates in
any manner her annoyance. he must not be
abashcd. Faint heart Meier won fair lady
and 1t is exceedingly sensible to WOO her in
the presence of Others. Bon,m orum.
Ladies should always make the proper dis
tinctlon in regard to their visitors. The
hopeful scion of the aristocracy Of wealth
should I've treated with more difference than
the intellectual poor gentleman. However
elegant and agreeable the latter may be, to
the former must be accorded all the glory of
the visit. He has been nurturcd in at,luencc
and bred to luxury: and though noble
thoughts have iievet pctitioned for entrance
within his cranium he must be placed upon
tie emincnce of superiority. This, etiquette
pcremptorily urges and custom sanctions.-

HINTS TO DENTIsrs.-To dentists who may
be in want OF a little practice, just "to keep
their hands in,'' the following anc cdote may
afford useful hint. A good cat practice
might be worth picking up-it would certain
ly be a-mcw-sing! sMr. Ticdc maun, the
famous Saxon dentist, had valuable tortoise
shell cat, that for days did nothing hut moan,
Gessing the cause he looked into its mouth.
amp seeing decaycd tooth, soon relieved it
of its pain. The following day there were at
least ten cats at his dOor---the day after, TWEEN
ty; and they went on increasing ut lsuch rate
that he was obliged to keepa bull dog to drive
them away. But nothing would help them
away. A cat who had the toothachc would
come any number of miles to him. 1t would
come down the chimney even, and not leave
the room till he had taken its tooth out. 1t
grew snch a nuisance at last, that he was new
cr free from one OF these feline patients, -
However being one morning very nervous
he accidentally broke the jaw Of an old tab
by. The news of this spread like wild fire.
Not single cat ever came to him after
wards

NOT TOO LATE TO Sow TuRNIps.-A very
good growth Of turnips may he obtained from
seed sown at any time before the 15th or Goth
of this month. The Yellow Aberdeen is one
of the best varieties of the Buta Baga for late
sowing. 1t grows almost as large as the
Ruta Baga, and is nearly equal in nutricious-
ness and in keeping qualities. AS it is sown
later it is less liable to be injured by the fly.
Coating OF smcaring the seed with fish oil is
thought to be protection against the fly;
but the best preventive is a rapid growth.
To secure this let the ground be we'll pre-
pared. and make liberal application of slim
ulating manure. Good Peruvian Guano is
the best for this purpose. Supcr-phosphate
of lime may be used, and in the absence of
these apply well rottted manure.
Next to the Yellow Aberdeen the Strap
leap Red-tcp turnip is the best. 1t may be
sown eight or ten days later than the Ahcr-
deems. The pnrple.top turnips rank next to
the Strap-leaf Red-top, and may be sown as
late as the first week in September.

From The Baltimore SUM-
DfsfnfectinS Agents--Lime, Plas-
ter. COpperaS and EaS-Tar.

To the Editors Of the Sun Il have notic-
cd Of late articles in many of our papers re-
commencing various substances to be used
as disinfcctng agents during the summer
months. Some of these are very good and
others en- tircly useless.
Charcoal, which is strongly recommended
by some, Will not act as a disinfectiug agent
after it has become wet, and on this account
should not be relied on. Its property of alb
sorbing gasscs of any kind only exists whilst
it remains dry. When wet it has no more
active agency in absorption than niece of
rotten wood The ignorance of this fact has
caused charcoal to be recommended for use
where animal or vegetable matter was under
going decomposition, in order to arrest noyi.
Gus gasses. and also rs an application TO
land, to absorb fcrtiisi.g matter (ammonia)
from tic atmosphere. Neither of thes,
things could it do after being exposed to
moisture, which always is the case before it
is applied for these purposes. When char
coal or the scrappingS from coal pits acts az
manure, it does 81 either by improving the
mechanical texture Of the Suil or because
portions of the soil Oh which the charcoal is
also applied. This affords small quantity
of alkaline matter, and Is, moreover, pero-
xidiZed by the heat used in burning the coal.
One of tile beneficial influences of burning
soil is due to the fact that the compounds of
iron in it nrc changed from lesser to the
highest degree Of oXydation. Iron compounds
act injuriously when in Il how. and beneficial
" when in Il high degree Of oxydation, in
crops.
There is no one checp substance which
should be relied on as disinfccting agent.
There should he used at the same time either
plaster or coppcros, time and gas-tn. Lime
should just be scattered over all places
where animal or vegetable matter is dccaying
and then plaster or coppcras should be used,
after which gas Tar should be applied
These three will cllcctually arrest or destroy
all poisonous cXhalations arising from decay
ing animal or vegetable matter. They arc
cheap, easily used; and in the city within
the reach Of everybody. If gas tar cannot
be obtained, then lime, With plaster or cop
pcras. should be used. Their mode of action
need not be explained in a popular journal.
1t was great mistake in our City Council
to forbid the gas tar from being poured into
Jones Falls; nothing better could be used to
countereact the unhealthy influences of that
fifty stream. The chief objection was, un.
derstand. that the tar formed beds on the
bottom of the stream and rendered it d liicult
to be removed, but when the question was
whether graves should be dug or difficulties
be encountered IN removing the bed of the
falls, the latter should have been chosen.

u Goethe, like many Of orr celebrated
men. was somewhat annoyed by the visits of
strangers. A student once called ut his house
and requested to see him. Goethe, contrary
to his usual custom, consented to be seen;
and after the student had waited short time
in the ante chamber he appeared, and with
out speaking, took chair, and seated himself
in the middle of the room. The student,
FAR from being embarrassed by this unexpec-
ted proceeding. took II lighted wax candle in
his hand, and walking around the poet deli
bcrately viewed him on all sides; then, sett-
ing down the candle, he drew out his purse,
and taking from it a small piece ofsiver. put
it on the table, and went away without speak
ing word.
