thing as you advise, it seems to me
that | shall hardly be able to keep
on my feet, l shall be so weak"
"Madam, you are entirely mistak-
en-. Any person when too fat will
only experience a sense of lightness
and increasing, when making a Judi
cious reduction in the amount of
food and drink. He will breathe
better, move quicker, and feel that a
great load is being removed.
"For example, a man weighs, say
two hundred and fifty pounds, and
should weigh, to be active and heal
thy, one-hundred and seventy-fve
pounds. This man is carrying
about an extra seventy-five pounds,
interfering with his respiration and
activity; in other words, cutting
short the two great conditions of
health-namely, respiration and ex-
ercise. Yet, that man goes on puff
ing and blowing until he dies,a for
excessive fat is inimical to longevity.
"Another word or two about
drinks. All fat people are large
drinkers, and when we remember
that about three fourth of the human
body are water (if you put a human
body into an oven and make it per-
fectly dry, it will 60 down from one
hundred and fifty pounds to about
forty pounds, you see what an init
mate relation with this fat condition
the use Of large drinks may have.
And it is not difficult to learn to get
on with but little water. Most peo-
pie drink many times more than
they really need. A man weighing
two hundred and fifty, has sixty or
seventy pounds more of water in his
system than he needs So he must
drink but little water and he will
soon get on comfortably, not only
without suffering, but with improve
ing health.
MADAME, before you leave l want
to say one other thing: you must
not sleep too much. Long sleep
fattens, don't get to bed very early
but get up early in the morning.
Seven hours in the twenty-four, OF
say six hours for a while, will do for
you. In other words, madam, my
prescription for you is, keep yo1
eyes open and yod9' mouth shut"

Picked Up.


We picked up a letter in the street
says an exchange, the other Gay, of
which the following is a copy, ex-
cepting the addresses. The owner
can have the original by calling at
our office:
"DEAR BROTHERS, SISTERS, COUs-
ms, AUNTs, UNCLEs, etc: l now take
my seat and set down to take this
opportunity to inform you that l am
Daddy that is, 1 suppose 1 am, for
Abbie has got nice fat baby, and
we hope these few lines will find
yon enjoying the same great bless
ings. Now this is to be strictly q
business letter. Firstly, as 1 said
before, Abbie has got as nice a baby
as ever made up faces. Nextly, 1
have swapped away old Buckskin,
and l think l have got a pretty nice
horse; it is little girl and weighs
nine pounds { 1 mean the baby and
it is Just as fat as butter, and has got
a good strong pair of lungs; she is
red and got a bob tail 1.-THE horse 1
mean and a white stripe in her
face, and is a good driver; she has
got blue eyes and a dimple in her
chin { 1 mean the baby now J, and just
the prettiest mouth that ever was
(Qf course and judging from her
teeth 1 should think that she was
about six years old Il mean the
horse now); she is sound, smooth,
and kind I mean the horse or baby
either now }, and the doctor says she
is the fairest he ever saw, without
any exception { he means the baby.
/ got twenty-five dollars to boot, not
in the b&by scrape, though, for the
boot was on the other foot, and two
or three sizes larger as near as l can
find out. 1 am going to harness the
horse now, and 90 after mother; she
was born last Wednesday night, 20
minutes past nine q hope you don't
think l mean mother, or the horse,
1 mean the baby.) She is as hearty
as pig, ate an egg, biscuit, and
drank three cups of tea for her din
ner / mean Abbie.O She is getting
along fustrate. She is rather aoindy,
and they say that it is sign OF
cohc { 1 mean the baby Oh 1 hope it
is, for the nurse says COlici babies
never die. She talks through her
dose (nose) as she takes snuff (the

There I've been reading this over,

The Ear of Dionysius.

In the neighborhood of Syracuse,
in Sicily, is cave of great depth,
which is said to have been built by
Dionysius the Elder, a tyrant, or
usurper, who was born about B. G,
4SO, and died B. C. 367, in the sixty
third year of his age, and the thirty
ninth of his rule. This cave was
two hundred and fifty feet long and
eighty feet high. 1t was fashioned
in She form of a human ear, and the
faintest sounds were carried from all
parts to a central chamber, which
corresponded to the tympanum or
drum Of the ear.
In this remarkable whispering
gallery Dionysius imprisoned all
who were the objects of his suspic-
ions, while he himself was in the
habit of passing entire days in the
innermost chamber, listening to the
conversation of his victims, in or
der that he might ascertain for him
self who were really his enemies.
Ancient writers tell US that the work
men who constructed the cavern
were put to death, to prevent them
from divulging the use to which it
was to be put, and that whole fami-
lies were sometimes confined in it
at once. Modern travellers relate
that even at the present day, not
withstanding the changes which
have been wrought by time, the echo
is such that the tearing Of sheet of
paper at the entrance can be dis
tinctly heard at the remotest part.
Pieces of iron and lead have been
found in making excavations, and
they are thought to be the remains
of the chains and staples by which
the prisoners were confned.-Qptic'

Love and & Farm.

Quite a number of odd and anus
ing scenes frequently occur with
parties who visit the Probate court
for the purpose of securing the
necessary document to legalize their
marriage. But the other day a young
man, about q, accompanied by one
of the opposite sex equally as young,
assembled the main steps Of the court
house, and then, on being directed tc
the Probate court, took up the line
of march for its hallowed precincts
Reaching the threshold, the young
man wavered, and refused to enter
"His hand did quake,
And trembling like a leaf of aspen green,
Aud troubled blood thrO' his pale face was seen
To come and go; with tidings from the heart,
As it running messenger had been"
The rustic maiden, who was ex-
tremely anxious to see the marriage
programme carried to a successful
issue, looked down upon him with
pleading eyes, and then, taking him
by the hand in the most tender man
ner, besought him to enter the court
and obtain the license.
"Oh, come along, Jake; what's the
use of backing outY" fell in dulcet
tones upon Jacobs ear"
"Melindy, don't. The old man
will give me fits if marry you"
Haven't you told me a thousand
times that you would marry me in
spite Of the old mani"
"Yes! yes! but there is"
''Is whatY
"Why, the farm"
"Plague take the farmw
"Yes, but, Melindy," reasoned her
lover, hadn't we better wait till the
old man dies? and then I'll have The
farm sure"
Yes; but he'll live fifty years yet;
there's no die in him. Come along
now and get that ere license; l amt
a going to be put off any more"
"Pll tell you what I'll do, Melindy."
'Well."
''If the old man holds out again
my having you till Christmas, I'll
marry you then, farm or no farm y
"Sure2"
Gas sure as my names Jacob"
"Well, let her go then till Christ
mas; but if you back out then, Jake
look sharp"
"rll toe the scratch then, by jingo
if the old man runs me of the farm
with double larrel shotgun, Ger
tain" And Jake looked as if hC
would.
Thus reassured on being married
by Christmas, Melindy drew off witt
her Jake, fully satisfied, doubtless
with the postponement. But if Jake
does prove recreant to his promise
we will wager any amount Of nickle'
that Melindy will go for him, to use
the vernacular of the uncultivated
'like thousand Of brick" ."-CiaciH

Paris bv Daylight.

Meagre as are the kilograms from
Paris, they suggest terrible picture
of suffering among the poorer classes
in that once gay and luxurious city
The thousands of small shOpkeepers
who are accustomed to live from
hand to mouth by the profits Of their
daily trade, must be entirely ruined;
while the mechanics who create the
various articles they deal in are like
wise thrown out of employment
The theatres are closed, and that
again turns adrift a multitude o.
workmen; the gas works are stop
ped, which has the same effect in an
other direction. Add to this tina
provisions are daily becoming scare
er and dearer, and we can readily SCI
that the horrors of a siege have be
gun to be experienced, although tn
enemy is not yet in sight of the city
No wonder that all who can are flee
ing to safer quarters; for should re
sistance be prolonged, the miserie
of famine of both food and drinI
and fuel will have to be endured D.
those who remain.

A Rumanly Outrage.

Mr.. Sella Martin, for time edi-
tor Of the Neo0 Era, was appointed
special agent Of the Post-office De
partment in some of the Southern
States few weeks ago. Not long
since, while travelling from Mobile
to Montgomery on the Mobile and
Montgomery railroad, in the dis
charge of his official duties, he was
ordered by the conductor to take
his seat in the negros' car. Upon
Mr.. Martin declining to do so, he
was at first violently thrust out OF
the car, and then by force placed in
the negroes car. The conductor
claims, and the President OF
the road admitted, that he was act
ing in pursuance Of orders. Any
one who is acquainted with Mr..
Martin knows that he is a gentle
man in manners and appearance, and
that he would hardly be supposed
to possess any negro blood in his
veins, except by those who know the
fact. We venture to assert that in
every attribute that constitutes a
gentleman he is far ahead either ol
the conductor who thrust him out
of the car, or the Vice President
who approved the outrage. While
in Europe Mr.. Martin had access tC
society-the most aristocratic ant
best in England-into which neither
of these men could find access, no
! indeed few others who profess anC
act out in this vulgar prejudic,
against color. The United State
District Attorney of Alabama ha
declared his intention to commenc
suit against the railroad compan,
, for $4,000. We trust the question
will be thoroughly tested whethe
, there is any virtue in the Civ
+ Rights Bill or not.-Neac Era.

The Chinese Labor Question Prac'
ticaIly Solved.

"a Portland (Oregon) paper re-
lates a little incident which recently
occurred in that vicinity, and it is a
fair practical illustration of the ques-
tion of cheap Chinese labor, worth
dozen chapters of abstract political
ECONOMY. A certain Judge, although
an ardent democratic politician of
Portland, had dumped at his door
load of wood, when Immediately
Chinese woodsawyer asked for the
lob of saving it up. How mucheeP
asked the ] Idge. Hap dollar, re-
piled John. A bargain was about
to be struck, when an Irish-AmeTi-
can citizen, of the blue blood, de
manded the Job. How much? again
asked the Judge. a dollar and a
half replied the American citizen.
THE judge demurred, replying that
the Chinaman had just offered to do
the same work for a half-dollar.
However he said, 'as l prefer to en-
courage white American labor, ]
will pay you a dollar and a half,
IwherevpOn the white constituent
prepared for thework, and John turn
ed away disappointed. But the judge
returned some hours afterward, and
to his surprise found the Chinaman
not the white man, at work upon his
woodpile. 'How's this, hOw's this?
said His Honor, who told you tC
saw nv wood? Mclean man, saiC
John. How muchee he payE
uueried the judge. Hap dollar,
said John. The Judge accepted the
lesson OH cheap Asiatic labor, anC
understands now that his fellow
democrat was wiser than he in giving
ND labor with his own hands, anC
rising at once to the dignity of al
employer by buying labor at fiftJ
: cents, and selling it again at two
hundred per cent advance. Shoe

BENA WOMAN,
Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,

Oft I've heard gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son on DUTY,
Urging him to be man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as rea@
Poiu's she out the other duty
"Stuve, my dear, to be a lady"
WHAT'S lady! Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks and airs;
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the efancy rugs and chairs!
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If 'tis this TO be lady
'Tis not this to be a women.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
Woman is the brighter star.
If ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman.
Yes, a woman! brightest model,
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind, and soul and body,
Blend to work out lfes great duty,
Be woman! naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be woman! on to duty!
Raise the world from all that's low.
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow;
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, whole souled, true woman.
