NEWS.


Military news consists almost, en-
tircly of rumors, Congrcssionali news
win amount to nothing until after the
holidays 1t is hard to tell what will
be the fate of the $500 Communication
clause in the CONSUMPTION law, but we
see no good reason for the assumption
that it will be stricken out. The la
test from Europe is as follows:
PORTLAND, Dec. %.
Tho steamship Juara, from Liver
pool, with advises down to the 10th
inst, arrived this morning.
She brings an account Of the great
international fight between Heenan
and King, which took place on the
morning of the 10th at Tunbridge.-
King won in twenty-five rounds, the
fight having lasted thirty-one min
utes. The London Times says that
but little science was Displayed on Ell
ther.side. Heenan's game throughout
seemed TO be to close and put hug
on 70 as to crush his antagonist at
once 10y dashing him violently to the
ground. Kings tactics were different
and moro creditable. 1t is rumored
that Heenan's shoulder was brokon.

EE-In the scientific department Of
the Boston Courier we find the fol-
lowing remarks in relation to the
Chloride of Nitrogen, which seems
destined to throw Greek Fire entirely
into the shade:
Chloride of Nitrogen will, it is said,
soon be utilized as an implement Of
war. Its employment would seem
likely to put an end to all war. Mr..
Isham Baggs, an English chemist, in
announcing his discovery, proposes to
carry up his composition in balloons,
and drop it from the air in the midst
of armies and fortresses. "The very
mention of this compound" he COOS
on to say, as a proposed element in
modern warfare, may possibly provoke
a smile among chemists who know
that the most accomplished Of their
number would scarcely dare to exper-
iment with it in quantities larger than
a grain of mustard seed, and even
then only at a respectful distance, and
under guard at the moment of its de-
tonation. And yet not one of those
chemists will be bold enough to deny
that with two or three chemically
clean carboys of this terrible COM
pound present in city or fortress,
however strong, the slightest cuttings
of phosphorus or single drop of olive
oil coming in contact with it, would in
one instant decide tho fate of the place
and its inhabitants" Mr.. Bagg then
proceeds to affirm that hr das discov-
cred a method of overcoming the con-
tlngent difficulties, and that he is able
TO manufacture this deadly material
with perfect safety, and in any re-
quired quantity, and that it can be
safely conveyed to its place of desti-
nation.

CHILDREN AND How TO TTEAT THEM.
-Children-real, live, plump, jolly,
roly-poly children-are as scarce as
sensible grown up people. Little, thin,
narrow-shouldered, angular, pale in
tollectualities are common enough. 49,
1t is your healthy tom-boy that is the
rarity. What woman was ever less
delicate in soul and pure in heart be-
cause she tore her frocks and climbed
trees when she was child? Real,
wild, childish romping, with ringing
laughter and twinkling feet, merry
dances and familiar frolics-this is the
stuff out Of which wholesome man.
hood and womanhood is made. Chill
dren who are under conviction of sin
at five years of age, die Of brain dis
ease, or live with hypochondria to
torment the life out of oil around
them. Sad is tho family that has ono
or more Of such. l don't doubt tho
mother of tho Gracchi was sadromp,
and l moro than suspect Portia of inn
Inense tom-boyhood. Such healthy
natures could not have developed
otherwise.
Pity and love little children. Tole-
rate these pests. Comfort Nellie over
her dead bird, and don't call Molly's
Z" little white kitty" q "cat." 1t is
enough to break a Juvenile heart to
have ones darling snubbed. How
would you like TO hear your own Fred
erich Augustus called "dirty young
one ?" The little ones have their trag-
edies and commedies, and laugh and
weep more sincerely than you do at
Falstair or Lear. They love, marry,
keep house, have children, have we'd
dings and funerals, and dig graves for
dead mice in the garden, and mourn
into small white handkerchief, and
get brother jim TO write an appropri-
alto inscription for its tiny head-board.
Is not this human nature in little, and
in its small way, as deserving of cer-
tain respect You do not dispise your
own reflections in concave mirror,
you know.
Cherish the children mend the
frocks; don't scold Thorn for broken
toys, for man is not moro inevitably
mortal than play things. Don't strip
their fat shoulders in winter, nor roast
them in fannels in dog days, because
somebody told you to. Don't drug
them; don't ''yarb" them; don't stuff
thom with pastry, or starve them on
chippy bread don't send them to in
FAINT schools at three, or 10 fancy balls
q. ten, nor teach thom the commadn-
nlents earlier than they can remember
Mother Goose.
