SCANpALoUS INPUTATIoN.-What DR. lydia
Sayer intimated in her lectures here, might
occur to ladies compilations at a chemical lec-
ture it seems has come to pass in Prussia
1t was lately remarked that an exceedingly
brilliant auditory, amongst which were many
very elegantly dressed ladies, attended, al
Berlin, a lecture on chemistry, delivered by
one of the most celebrated chemists of the
age. After witnessing a number of beautiful
experiments and hearing of the marvels OF
science, young lady, grew fatigued, and
requested her husband to lead her from the
hall
"My love-" said the gentleman, on reach
ing the landing place outside. wipe your
cheek, there's a large blue spot upon it"
The lady, much surprised, turned to look
at her reflection in the mirrored window of a
shop they were passing, and was almost pet
rifed to observe that the rouge on her cheeks
had become blue, in consequence Of the chem.
ical decomposition occasioned by the gas the
professor had used in making his experiment
She quickly wiped her face, and stifled her
vexation in the thought that she should find
herself amply revenged upon the other ladies
in the hall. In reality, the lecture closing at
this moment the audience began to disperse,
and the gentleman and his wife almost burst
with laugher at the cheeks of yellow, blue,
black, violet and other colors, which now made
their appearance in the street. Some of the
ladies, who had manufactured for themselves
ivory compilations, rosy cheeks, coral lips and
ebony eyebrows, were so transformed that
they would have excited the envy of q pea
cock. 1t is whispered that lecture from the
professor would produce similar effects in 9TH
er cities besides Berlin.

The Miseries and Effects of In.emper.pce

The following is the most graphic delinea.
alton of the miseries and effects of intemper-
ance that We have ever seen-it is from tho
arguments advanced by certain citizens of
Fortage county, Ohio, in a memorial to the
Legislature on the subject:
=. And yet its march Of ruin is onward still
IL reaches abroad to others-inysdes the FAM
lily and social circles-snd spreads woe and
:otrcw :. all around. Its cuts down youth in
s .isorLmanhoOd in il strength-and age
In los weakness IL breaks the fathers heart

anu orlngs down mourning age in sorrow To
the grave 1t produces weakness, and not
strengtn sickness, not health; death. not
life. 1t makes wives widows-chiIJran o.
phans-fathers fcnds-and all of them nan
pers and beggars. Ii halls feyers-feeds
rheumatisms-nurses gouts-welcomes eni.
demics-invites cholera-imparts pestilence
and embraces consumptions 1t covers the
land with idleness, poverty, disease and crime.
Ii tlls your Jails-supplies your almshouses-
and demands your asylums. 1t engenders
controversies-fostersq quarrels-and cherishes
riots. 1t contemns law-spurns order-and
loves mObs. 1t crowds your penitentiaries-
and furnishes the victims for your scafolds.
1t is the fe-blood Of the gamblers-the ali
ment OF the counterfeiter-the prop of the
highwayman, and the support of the midnight
incendiary.
Itcountsnances the liar-respects the thief
and esteems the blasphemer 1t violates
bligation-reverence fraud-and honors in
fanny. 1t defames sbenevolence-hatesl love-
scorns virtue-and ISLANDERS innocence. II
incites the father to butcher his offspring-
helps the husband to massacre his wife-and
aids the child to grind his parricidal axe IL
burns up man-consumes woman-detests life

1t suborns witnesses-nurses periury-de-
files the jury box-and stains the judicial er-
mine. 1t bribes votes-disquaIifes voters
corrupts elections-pollutes our institutions
and endangers our government 1t degrsdes
the citiIen-debases the observation-disclosures
the ststesman-snd disarms the patriot. It
brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety
despair, not hope misery, not happiness.
And now, as with the malevolence Of fend,
1t calmly surveys its frightful desolstions, and
,nsattate with havoc, it poisons felicity-kiIls
peace-ruins morsls-blights confidence
slays reputation-and wipes out national hon
or-then curses the woodland laughs at its
ruin.

Bible Lore in Missouri .

A correspondent of the St Louis Republi-
can, writing from Jefferson City, gives an
amusing description Of trial which recently
came OF at that place, in which all the coun-
sci engaged rank high at the Missouri bar.
Although lawyers were never considered re-
markable for their erudition in the Scriptures
urges the editor Of the Republican, vet such
objectionable neglect of the holy book, as the
counsel in this case exhibited, calls for PROMPT
action upon the part Of the American Bible
Society, or greater Sunday school facilities.
Here is the letter:
A few days since, was serving as juror
in case of slander. Three Of our most prom
lnent lawyers were engaged-one for the plain
tif, the others for defendant The counsel
attempted to impeach the veracity of one of
the witnesses-an old man named Mayhew.
They failed entirely, and when the counsel
for the plaintiff came to sum up the evidence,
SAID "dentiemen of the jury, the counsel
on the opposite side have endeavored 10 i'm
peach the veracity and destroy the character
OF the witnesses, and particularly of nv old
friend Mayhem. L must confess, gentlemen.
trembled for my old friend, when the senior
counsel for defendant, with his stern counte-
nance, demanded of the old man, whether he
had not told different story to his neigh
bors, and introduced Mr.. Harris to prove II.
But, gentlemen, he failed and my old friend
Mayhem came out unscathed. Yes, gentle
men, like Daniel of old, out of the hons den,
without hair of his head having been
singed."
This excited the risibles of those familiar
with the authority quoted but some very
broad grins were seen when the senior coun-
sci for defendant rose, and remarked to his
hearers, "That his friend, the counsel for
plaintiff, had not quoted correctly the passage
from the Higher Law; that he had read and
heard much Of Daniel, but that was the first
time he had ever heard of his being in lion
den"
All was silence, however, compared with
the roar when the junior counsel made his
reply. In alluding to the remarks of plain
tiff s counsel, he said "My worthy friend on
the other side is not quite as familiar with the
volume Of the higher law as be is with those
of Chitty and Blackstone, or he would not
have attempted to release his friend Mayhem
from the lions den without having q hair of
his head singed. Unlike my senior, haze
heard of being in the lions den; but, until
to-day, / never heard that his roaring males
ty made use of fire. Ny worthy friend has, I
suppose, mixed up the escape Of Daniel from
the lions den with the passage of Nebuchad-
nezzar through the fiery furnace, who had
not hair singed ="

MORE ABOUT LOUIS NAPOLEON WHILE IN
THIS CoUNrRY.-M l.. Tinelli, French po-
litical exile, we'll known for his republican
opinions, gives quietus to the tales to the
discredit Of Louis Napoleon by the following
authoritative declaration:
/" From the day of his arrival until that Cf
his departure in the packet independence,
June 2S, 1887, Louis Napoleon had his apart
ments in the Washington Hotel, Broadway,
on the site now occupied by Stewards mag
mitted sometimes to his table-besides the
Count Arresse who remained one OF his most
intimate confdants-a very limited number
of friends; among them were Mr. NJ Genta-
lonieri, Foresti, Maroncelli, Hackett, Peug-
net, Dacoste, the Rev. Mr.. Steward, aid
few others He led very retired and re-
tired and remarkably regular life, accepting
none of the invitations with which he was un-
ceasingly besieged. He made no exception,
but for the soirees of Nine Maturin Liyings-
ton, whose family he particularly esteemed,
and those of Nine. PannOn, who once week
gathered the elite of the French society under
her roof
"Far from leading the life which has been
attributed to him, the Prince on the contrary
constantly busted himself with labors and se-
rious projects A short time before his de-
parture, he asked me to draw up the plan Of
great agricultural establishment, for he in.
tended to purchase land, and install a small
French colony. This design remained unful-
filed only on account of his sudden depar-
ture, which was caused by the unfavorable
advices he had received concerning his mo-
theirs health.

FEMALE ABANDONING HER PARENT AND
CHOOSING TO LIVE WITH THE SHAKERS
will be recollected in the early part of the
winter young female, residing with the
Shaker family at Lebanon, very mysteriously
disappeared, and fears were then entertained
that she had met with some violence. She
was the daughter of David Lyall, Of this city,
who, on the 4th of February, 1887, legally
bound out three Of his children to the Leba
non family. Previous TO the disappearance of
Mary, two Of the children, who were bound
out at the same time with her, had voluntari-
y left, and no effort was made on the part Of
the Shakers to retain them. Immediately
upon the disappearance Of Mary, the Shakers
set about making a diligent search for her,
and, after a long time, ascertained that she
had been taken away by her father against
her consent, and under circumstances that led
the Shakers to believe that she had desired 10
remain with them, and to have them bring her
back.
Upon ascertaining this fact, one of the fam.
lily, in behalf of the society, appeared before
Judge Robinson, and obtained a writ Of habeaS
corpus, demanding the father to bring his
daughter before the Judge. The process was
placed in the hands of police officer Hale.
who served it, and caused the parties to ap-
pear this morning, as commanded, before
Judge Robinson. Mr.. Lyall, accomranied by
legal friend and his daughter, with her sis
r, two Shakers, their counsel two members
OF the press, and few members of the bar,
were witnesses to an interesting scene which
transpired in Judge Robinson's Office. After
an acknowledgment Of the service Of the
summons By Mr.. Lyall, the Judge informed
Mary that she was at liberty to 60 either with
her father or the Shakers, when she promptly
replied, al will 60 with the Shakers" She
is rather an interesting LOOKING giri, ana we
were not snrnrised that her father became en-
ra,ad at her decision. She left the Office ac-
led by the Shakers, with the promise
10 Give to her sister, before she left the city,
all the clothing she then had on Albany
