BrOwnViIIe Hzlgh school La
brary Association.

This Association, which is composed
of the members of the BroWnville
High School, and which is still very
young, is growing finally, and we
hope the fruits of its labOrs will soon
become evident.
The Association started without
capital of any kind. When it was or
ganized as a body, there were but few
members; but by the help Of the ini-
tiatiOn fees of those who have joined
from time to time, and the proceeds
from two or three exhibitions, the
Treasurer is able to make out q report
in favor of the Association for quite a
sum.
A room has been procured, and fur
nished to some extent.
AS fast as money is procured it is
laid out In books, so that at the pres
ent the Library consists Of between
forty-five and fifty good sized volums,
which is doing very well for begin
ming.
It is provided in the constitution
that when the Association ceases TO be,
that the Library shall be transferred
into the hands of the trustees Of the
public schools, and it will then be a
public Library.
tits the intention of the Association
to add to their stock OF books until
they shall have a large library.
If they should succeed in their ef-
forts, and it should become a public
Library, it would improve Brownville
greatly.
The Association is indebted to Hon.
It. w. Upton, u. S. S., for many val
liable books of information.
The books have been carefully selec-
ted, and contain useful instruction for
Young minds. For this and many
other favors the Association is indebt-
ed to Prof G. B. Moore.
The members have labOTed I'm per
feet harmony, and what they have OBJ
tanned has been by hard labor.
The weekly meetings, which are de
signed to contain useful instructions
for all, consists of songs, deelamatiOns
essays, dialogues; and a weekly paper
supported by the pens Of the most in
tellectual members.

Turning the Tables.

Halt! Your money or your life
Throw up your hands ~ exclaimed
the stranger, stepping out from the
shadow, while accompanying the
words might plainly be heard the
shatp- click of a pistol. The person
addressed was weary newspaper
man, vending his lonely way home
ward in the outskirts of the CITY. ut
about three o'clock the other morning.
80, yes, certainly. Pm in no huT-
~. Only walking for exercise. just
as soon hold up my hands as not. Pm
not armed. Please turn that pistol a
little to one side. 1t makes me ner-
vOus."
"Hand over your cash !"
Haven't nary red with me. You
see they took that all away from me
when they entered my name ON the
books"
"When did they take your money
from yOu?"
80, yes; why, at the pest house.
You see Pm q smallpox patient just
out for exercise. They wouldn't let
me walk about in daylight with my
face in this condition, so [ have to go
it after dark, and late at night when
the streets are empty. By the way,
stranger, the wind is rather in your
direction, and unless you amt partic-
ular about it, it might be just as well
to stand on the other side. I've got
my old silver watch, though. If you
like it, come and take it. YOU'RE at
perfect liberty to search me ifyOu like,
only don't point that pistol this way,
IL makes me uncomfortable. Dive
want the old watch ?h
"No, thank yOu,n said the robber,
backing away and around to the 9TH
er side.n I couldn't take anything
from man as unfortunate as you.
Here, there's a half dollar for you,
Door fellow. Go and get something
| to drink" and he threw coin toward
him, still backing off. "Now,n said
he, ''yOu turn back and go round the
block the other way. If you're only
walking for exercise it went ineOm-
mode you"
80, not a particle; I'd just as soon
walk with you, if you desire it. Eth
er way, though, its all the. same to me
Thank you for the half. Won't you
come and join me and drink to my
recovery ?'
'eYou go round the block the other
way, and as / haven't hurt you, say
nothing about having met me. l
guess I'll go this way" and then
watching TIL the supposed smallpox
patient turned the corner, he started
off in a full run in the opposite diree
ton.
Mr.. Newspaper man proceeded OF
homeward undisturbed, and slept th'
sleep of one who enjoys the conscious
ness of having done good thing, anC
four bits the better of for having me

Human EEaiF-EEOyV to Grow
and wear tt

Howard GlyndOn, q highly compe-
tent writer "a lady formerly Of ST.
Louis, gives to the New York Times
the following information on the
above subject:
Children have what Is called their
baby hair until six years of age.
This should not be cat until they have
attained that age. 1t is like the first
piunage of the young birds soft
dOWny and delicate-a1d quite unlike
the crop that succeeds it, in all except
color and that too, often changes ma
teriaIly. When they have reached
the age of six or seven it should be
carefully cut, and after that kept crop
ped at regular intervals. Putting up
the hair of children in curling papers
breaks it and checks its growth, often
pulls-it ont at the roots. Curling irons

grown persons. The heat saps up all
Juice out of the fibers as effectually as
fire or frost saps the vitality Of a green
branch, leaving 1t but a dry withered
skeleton.
Very few persons pay any attention
to the arrangement of their hair, so as
to harmonic with their peculiar style

nothing but dressing it according to
the prevailing fashiOn-never consid-
ering how ludeerOus q little woman ap-
pears in an enormous chignOn, only
proportionate to some tall Amazon:
while a thin faced woman combs back
every individual hair stiffiy from her
face, rendering it's angularity still
more conspicuous, and a jOlly-faced
girl wears hers puffed out about her
fat visage, thus adding to it's breadth.
If the head is long, do not increase
its length by pinning the chignon on
straight line with the front parting.
IF the head is high, that is, if Yenera-
ton is prominent at the top, arrange
the hair 50 as to give the head breadth

''Some months ago, q gentleman ad-
vertised that ne had discovered q sure
specific for the cure of drunkenness.
He would not divulge the secret of
what compounds he used, but furnish
the medicine at so much per bottle.
He did not have so so many applicants
for cure as be expected, considering
the extent of the disease. In fact,
the more malignant cases did not seem
anxious for relief. They rather ap-
peared to enjoy their malady. A few,
however, placed themselves under
treatment, and some were cured
whether by taking the medicine or by
not taking strong drinks, we are not
prepared to say. One of the cured
ones had faith in the medicine, rigidIy
carried out the directions of the doe
tor, and now has not the least taste
for Intoxicating drinks whereas, one
year ago, he was an inebriate and
could not get along with less than a
pint to q quart of whiskey per day.
HE said that he had, at some
trouble andexpense, procured the rec
ipe for the preparation of the medi-
cine, which he had published for the
benefit of suffering humanity. It is
as follows: Sulphat of iron, five
grains peppermint, eleven drachms /;
spirit of nutmeg, one drachm twice
day. This preparation acts as a ton
ic and stimulant, and so partially
supplies the place of the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical and moral pOrtratiom that
follows q sudden breaking off from
the use Of stimulating drinks. It is to
be taken in quantities equal to an or
dinary dram, and so often as the desire
for dram returns. Any druggist
can prepare the prescription. -
We cut the above from an exchange.
The prescription named, is, as stated
tonic and stimulant; but we cOnsid-
er the dose two large by one-third.
Considerable irritation Of the stomach
might be experienced by some pa
tients from so large an amount Of the
sulphat. The sulphat should also be
Of the crystalliZed form. Apothecaries
viii understand this, but some people
might be tempted to prepare the med
icine themselves, and obtain for the
purpose the dried SALT. which is much
stronger. We do not believe that it
can destroy the appetite for liquor,
but it may lessen the cravings for it
until the habit of drinking has been
broken.-ScieptiJfe American.

The Country Gentleman says If the
statements about grating made in a
recent Field are true, "we may
have to believe the story told US some
years ago as to the origin Of the Peach
Blow potatoe. A gentleman assured
us that he originated the variety in
this way: He cut two potatoes one
the Merino Red and the other the Car
ter-fitted the halves Of one to the
other nicely, and bound them to geth-
er with twine. They were thus plan
ted and produced as he assured, what
is. known as the Peach Blow potatoe,
combining in considerable degree
the hardness and productlyeness OF
the red with the good quality OF the
white. We could not then credit the
story, and if any of readers can now
give us the true history and origin OF
the Peach Blow, we viii be glad to
see it."

Tie Treasury holds a surplus of at
larst Sixty Millions of Gold, which
ought long since to have been used to
pay off the Public Debt, and thus re-
duce our annual burden of interest.
The Gold would once, since we have
held it, have bought Eighty Millions
of Six per Cents; it would still buy
over Seventy Millions. The sooner it
is employed ''for the purchase or pay.
ment' of bonds, as the law directs,
the better for the public interest. Such
a hoard, lying dead, makes G0td scarce
and Bonds plentiful in the channels o1
business, whereas, it is the public in
terest, ia view of the urgent need oi
funding our Debt at lower rates of in
terest, that Gold should abound and
Bonds be scarce. The Treasury stands
right in its own light in allowing q
dollar of coin beyond its current needs
to rest in the Treasury.
The operators for q raise have man
aged to put up the premium on Gold
and this they can do so long as the
Treasury backs them by boarding
Gold. Every dollar thus boarded is
carried for their benefit. If the Treas
ury held but Ten Millions Of coin,
they could not keep up Gold to any
thing like its present premium. But
so long as the Treasury holds on tC
One Hundred Millions, they can man
age and manipulate the residue with
ease.
Putting up the premium on Gold is
playing right into the hands of the
Secretary, assuming that he wishes to
use his surplus coin to reduce the
Public Debt. If he can sell Gold al
140 and buy Bonds at l15, every Mil
lion Of his cash will buy up over One
Million and Quarter OF Bonds. He
ought to thank the gamblers for help
ing him to so favorable on OppOrtuni-
ty, and improve it to the utmost. In
stead of One Million of Bonds pei
week, he should buy up Five, Ten,
Fifteen AIillions-an that he can get
at anything like the present prices oi
Bonds and Gold respective. We dc
not believe he will ever again see q
week wherein Ten Millions of Gold
will buy so large an amount of Bonds
as at this moment. He should buy
buy-buy- SO long as 81 100000 in
gold will purchase 81, 10000 Of the
National Debt and he has a surplus Ol
gold to sell. Such, we cannot doubt,
IS his intention. He may buy but 81 :
100000 this week; but, if the great
disparity between Gold and Bonds
shall continue, he will buy more and
more Bonds from week to week here
after. So crowd up the premium on
coin, Messrs. Gold-Gamblers so that
our gold shall serve to wipe out as
many bonds us possible!-ITibURe.

The Montana Post contains a full
account of the late confagration at
Helena. It says:
Flames were discovered in a Chinese
house of i'll fame, about two o'clock in
the morning, and before assistance
could be got had seized upon the adj
joining building. In ten minutes it
was ablaze, and as the heat struck the
resinOus matter from the dry pine logs
of which it was constructed, the heat
became so intense that approach to it
was impossible. The citizens gathered
in great numbers, but all their efforts
to subdue the raging elements proved
entirely futile. In three hours the
heart of the city was eaten out, about
| two hundred houses were consumed,
and daylight dawned upon the black
est day Helena ever saw. The flames
! had swept everything but the fire
proofs. The number of buildings des-
troyed is variously estimated at from
| 13S TO 227, over half OF which We're
/ business houses. The loss is estimated
at from S600,000 to S620, 600, the largest
! figure being the estimate of one of our
! best informed and most cOnsiderate
citizens. In many branches OF indus
try and trade there was not q repre-
sentative with a roof over his head
yesterday. The origin of the fire is
| unknown, but it is the general accep-
ted belief that it was fired by an in
cendiary.

High

In a recent number of the New York CONNER
aai Advertiser we find the report of the American
Commissioner of Internal Revenue for lS6S, Hon.
David A. Wells, which, like his previous reports,
furnishes a vast amount of sound advice on mat
tiers pertaining to the political economy OF that
Government, and from which much may be
learned by every one. Among other things the
Commissioner refers to the proposed reciprocity
treaty with this Kingdom, and does not hesitate
to condemn the principle of reciprocity treaties.
IL may interest our readers to know his objec-
tons. He says:
"The Commissioner therefore maintains that the
realization Of such n surplus involves nothing i'm
practicable and nothing which partakes of the nature
OF an experiment. . 1t requires that no
more money shall be disbursed for the purchase of
foreign territory, and that no reciprocity treaties
shall be negotiated like that proposed with the Sand
wich Islands, the operation of which is calculated TO
immediately impair the revenue. The present cost
Oh the value Of the proposed treaty with the Sand
wich Islands, through 4 diminution OF the current
receipts from importations Will not be less than
SoOO.OOO gold per annuni, which amount, in a COM
paratively short time, through the profit assured by
the treaty to the sugar growers of the Islands on one
hand, and TO the sugar refiners of San Francisco on
the other, will undoubtedly be increased three or
four fold, or from a million to n million and a half
gold per annum. The Commissioner submits that
there can be no advantage shown to accrue TO the
CHtci Suhte at the present ume from IN rsitlncd-
ton OF this treaty, which will at all compensate for
the detriment which it will surely bring to the
treasury"
As time wears on, the conviction is becoming
more general that the advantages promised
to our planters from the pending treaty would
be less than have been supposed, and that the
chief benefit would accrue to the relincrs in San
Francisco, inasmuch as under the operation of
the treaty no sugar would be admitted duty free
except grades under No. u. All our choice
sugars, if sent to San Francisco, would have to
pay the same duties as now. And as the refiners
would only purchase the dark grades on their oaon
terms, it will be seen that the planters would be
at their mercy, or be compelled to find markets
in Atlantic ports. For every hundred thousand
dollars our planters might be benefited by the
treaty, the refiners would derive a million.

ROYAL Visits.

1t seems to have become the fashion in Europe
for sovereigns to make tours to foreign countries.
By our exchanges, we observe that several such
visits will take place this year.
Queen Victoria will repeat her tour through
Switzerland, spend several weeks in the charming
climate and scenery of the Alps, and probably visit
her daughter in Prussia.
The Emperor and Empress of France, it is
announced, will spend the annual fete day,
August Is, at Corsica, the birth place of Napoleon
the First. II is said that the Empress also pro-
poses to be present ut the Inauguration and open
ing of the Suez Canal, which will be during
October, and will also visit the Holy Land.
The Austrian papers state that the Emperor
Of Austria intends making a trip to CONSTANT
noplc in the month Of September next. and will
be present at the opening of the Suez Canal in
October.
The Prince Imperial Of France has accepted an
invitation from the Prince of Wales to visit
England shortly. The Queen has written n letter
to the Emperor thanking him for the reception
offered to the Prince and Princess Of Wales dur
ing their late visit to Paris.
All this is a pleasant change from the seclusion
which kings and princes were formerly bound to
preserve, and it must serve to render them more
intelligent and better fitted for their duties rs
rulers. Travelling in foreign countries. and being
brought i'm contact with foreigners, tends to i'm
prove and refine, while charging and liberalizing
ones ideas on any and all subjects.
