TIE SLAVES OF PREJUDICE.
DEATH RoDBED OF HIS PRRY.

There are queer people in the world, people
with the absurd, unreasonable, and iHdefensi-
BILE prejudices. For example, we have met
with individuals who had a morbid antipathY
TO anything that was extern ;ively advertised
no matter what might be its actual claims to
the confidence of the public These eccentrics
looked with especial disfavor on advertised
medicines. They could not see for example
in DR.. HoLLowAY's magnificent system of ed
ycrlistng, covering, as 1t does, al the mediums
publicity which the world affords, anything
but gigantic scheme of mere speculation
True, they could not psinsay the testimony
pouring in spontaneously from the highest
sources, in favor OF his incompatible Pills
and Oinment, but still they shook their heads
and muttrred 'humbug" OF course, there is
no possibility ofargni"., with men who won
reason. The best way IS to let them alone.
Fortunately, such specimens Of stupidity are
"few and far between in this enlightened era
The general feeling is, that, fa thing is in i'-
sclfcxcelrnt, its virtues should be pro claimed
to the tour winds OF heaven, for the general
benefit Of mankind. Hence. the proca nations
made by Dr.. HOLLOWAY, through the entire
newspaper press of the world. OF the proper
ties aud operation OF his remedies, meets with
the cordial approval OF thinking men. The
value al the preparations as specifics for the
various internal and external complaints
peculiar TO different climates, or common 10
the world at large, is conceded, not only by
the masses, but by governments, men of sci
ence, and candid observers in every walk of
life. Can such remedies be too widely known

THE WAR IN THE UaircD STATES. We ex-

A curious conversation was related to me
last night as having taken place between NJ
Moquard, the Empercr's private secretary,
and general officer:
What can he the reason said this latter.
that the North does not obtain what Mr.
Lincoln Justly remarks it SO much requires
military success? ....
Marshal Neil says replied Moquard, that
the North has hut one man deserving the
! name Of General, aud that is Mcclellan;
| though he is only what Moreau was to Ma
poeon-a slow ember to a cracking fame;
but Mcmahon differs from him and says the
North coud easily have a military success
if the South would fairly put it on the de-
fcnsive. What the North lacks, says the
Marshal, is teartness in fight.
The men who 60 forth in battle do not
carry their hearts in their hands; they are
hireIiags swept from all countries. allurcd by
high pay; but there is no patriotism in their
souls, while the South has burned its ships
fighting for indepence. though that indcpen-
dence is, perhaps, only chimcreal idea;
still they believe in it, and thus stand 10 their
guns. Let however the South ombard Il

their hnIaesteads and all that man hold dear.

the Emperor believes, added N. Moqulrd,

The MOTHER MoLps THE MAN.-When l lived
among the ChOctaw Indians, saws one. | held a
consultation with one Of their chiefs respecting
the successive stages of their progress in the arts
of their civilized life and, among other things,
he informed me that at their start they made n
great mistake-they only sent boys to school.
These boys came home intelligent men, but they
married uneducated and uncivilized wives: and
the uniform result was, the children were all
like their mothers. The father soon lost all his
interest both in wife and children. And now"
said he, if We would educate but one class Of
our children, we would choose the girls for
when they become mothers they educate their
sons" This is the point, and it is true. No
nation can become fully enlightened when moth
ers are not in good degree qualified to discharge
the duties of the homework of education.

noble than the equipment of a thought in ster-

Musical HINTs--If the piano-fortc be the in
strument of use, bring it out from the wall, SO
that a free space be before you when you sing or
play. Never sing up against a wall. if you can
help it, or subject your friends to this sore trial.
Moreover never lumber Il piano with music and
books it is unartistic. Above all, keep your
piano in tune. If an instrument is worth having,
it is worth being kept in good order. You can
not have Il piano long out of tune without getting
your ear out Of tune, and, if a singer, your voice.
The Erard grand pianos of New York are all
kept in tune by one accomplished tuner. For
twelve dollars a year he tunes once Il month, and
oftener if necessary. Such an arrangement
should be made for planes of every make. 1t
improves them, and they last the longer for it.
A very awkward accompaniment Of the piano
forte is the piano-stool. 1t is clumsy and heavy
to move has a special faculty for upsetting the
screw is often in Il crippled state; and. ut best,
it is but an insecure, uncomfortable and sbaky
contrivance. \ seat of far greater convenience
and elegance at the piano, particularly with the
present flowing style of ladies' dresses. is an
ottoman-shaped seat, somewhat long, like an
organ-bench but tastefully modelled. 1t might
be upholstered, though it were better not. 1t
should OF course, be made for the purpose. and
of the right height. The most comfortable off
hand or impoverished seat is a cane chair; and,
by the way, let US suggest TO gentlemen never to
sit on a piano stool. The dignity of but few
men is equal TO the situation of a perch on such
n tripod, with the coat tails hanging down be-
hind a chair by all - Once a Month.
