Things to be Remembered.

A heroic soul is scornful of being
scOrned.
We do not want preeepts so much as
patterns.
The universe is the visible garment
Of the invisible.
A calm hour with God is worth a
lifetime with man.
To conquer fear, always do what
you are afraid to do.
A penitential tear in value surpasSes
the wealth of words.
rOur reputation depends greatly on
! hr choice of competitions.
God writes the Gospel; not in the
Bible alone, but in the trees, and flow
ers, and clouds, and stars.
Many persons have quickness to
discover their faults, with not energy
enough to eradicate them.
STERNE ON DRINKNG.-'I never
drink; l can't afford it; it costs me
three days; the first in SHINING, the
second in suffering, and the third in
repenting."
What a babes clothes are when the
balm has slipped out OF them lnUO
deatA, and the mothers arm clasps
only raiment, would be the Bible if
the babe of Bethlehem and thStruths
of deepheartedness that clothed his
life should slip out of it.
Esteem your brother to be good, and
he is so. COnfide in your half virtG-
Gus man, and he becomes wholly viz

assumption that he possesses certain
equities and they will be developed
III him; look on him as incapable of
cultivation and he will continue so.
Pronounce yourself in health, and you
may become so. All nature is but the
echo of the mind, and from her we
learn the highest Of all laws-that the
real springs from the ideal; that the
ideal by degrees remOdels the world.

The Sex of Eggs.

Is there any way of foretelling the
sex of eggs? Yes. When, on exam
lining an egg, by holding it between
the eye and the light the sun or of
a candle, the vivifying speck is seen
exactly on the top, such an egg, it is
said, will produce a male bird; but if,
on the contrary, the speck be on one
side, it will produce a female. 1t is
said, also, that the embryo bird may
be distinguished by the shape of the
egg, as, if the egg is elongated in
shape, it will contain a male, but if
more globular it will contain a female.
So that, if these indications be true,
either sex may be propagated at pleas
ure, which is not yet known to be the
case in any other class of animal crea-
ton. So says the Stock GrO1Cer. Its
claimed by psychologists that this
question of sex may be predeter-
mined; that it is governed by laws
which, understood and applied, will
result in mans control and direction
of the matter. We are still learners.

We e one of Lopez ministers?"
Certainly, sir, although his minis
ter, l lived only on sour oranges
~(tdrGnjdS GgridS)."
While his own ministers depended
only for their living on sour oranges,
Lopez himself, up to a few months
before his death, enjoyed all the COM
forts of life, and even certain luXu-
ries, which cOntrasted most painfully
with the starvation that prevailed
among his people. Colonel Thomp-
son, the Englishman and abide
camp of Lopez, had already written
that the marshal was a gluttOn; his
statement is fully c~orrOborated by his
ministers, now in the hands OF the
allies.
In a tent lined with fine damask,
and carpeted, Lopez table was daily
spread. Himself and Mrs. Lynch sat
down at its head, having at their side
their physician and an Englishman
named Skinnell, and at the other head
General Resquin and another chief.
Although they sat down at the same
table, meats were served separately to
Lopez and his paramour and the rest
of his party. Skinnell declares that
he always rose hungry from the table,
but in the meantime he was obliged to
appear as if ne had participated in
those banquets of Camacho, in which
| SanchO PanZa and Don QuiXOte used
to pay back to themselves many
months of perjury. Lopez and Mrs.
Lynch alone were allowed to turn
glasses of good Bordeaux, which cost
them fifty p~atacOons a box, and OF ex-
cellent porto.
Such were the last scenes of this
greatest struggle of South America,
which, under the nameof Paraguayan
war, has for more than five years held
the attention of allthe civilized world.
| Such was the end of the tyranny that
since 1917 has oppressed that unhap-
py peOple-the Paraguayans.

On the Eve of Battle.

In his Jail journal, John Mitchell
writes ''thusly" of 6eLtum days (1S62)
in Richmond:
And speaking of the organization
Of the Confederate army, let me men,
ton here a very surprising part of its
history. The officers being elective,
and the time appointed for a new
election falling last summer, just
when the enemy in overwhelming
force was pressing upon Yorktown on
their way up the Peninsula toward
Richmond, the elections were held,
there and then on the lines, in the
trenches, in actual presence of the
enemy. Was there ever before an
instance of an army changing, by
election, the whole body of its regi-
mental officers on the very eve of bat
tie? Yet here it was done, quietly,
regularly, without a moments excite
ment or confusion. This, as well as
several other examples l could men
ton, has brought me to the cOnclu-
sion that of all races of men in the
world, these Southerners have the
largest amount of sang froid, of genu-
inc impossible GOODNESS and steadi-
ness. Yet the very contrary Is the
current and received idea of their
character. Southern impulsiveness,
Southern passion, and wild, blind
fury-this is the cant-the direct OPP
posite is the fact.
1t happened the hill we were stand
ing upon was occupied by n of our
city artillery cOmpanieS-the Rich
mOnd HOWitZers-under the COM
mand of Captain Mccarthy. One
feature of our Confederate army,
which 1 find very notable, is the
number of instances in which a
bridesmaids son commands some
company or battalions cOmpOsed prin-
cipally of gentlemen in high position
in society. Many a young planter, as
private or lieutenant, Obeys the orders
of a young man who at home was
saddler or boot-maker to that same
planter. These Richmond HOwitzers
count in their ranks some of the elite
of the city, and Ned Mccarthy, who
commands them, is the son of an
honest tradesman on Broad street. 1t
is true that Ned-if you go to ances-
try-has a nobler n than any "F.
F. W." being a descendant of the
Eugeman kings of South Munster,
but this consideration did not count
for him; nor do any such cOnsidera-
tiens, l am proud to see, influence
the organization Of this noble citizen
army. If Ned Mccarthy commands
this artillery company, it is that his
comrades all judged he would make
the best officer.

General GOyon---A Love Affair.

The sudden death of Gen. GOyOn,
in his carriage, en- route for the Sen
ate, d%eprives the Second Empire of a
faithful SsrUiteur. The General was
suspected of OrleaniSm, which but iu-
creased his zeal for Napoleon. He
loved to be known, as an aid-de-
camp to his Majesty. 1t was in Italy,
particularly at Rome, that he distin-
gUished himself. On n occasion he
informed Cardinal MerOde-the
POpe's Minister of War-that he
would box his ears, only he respected
the cloth. In 1S4S, in the June in
%surrectiOn, he commanded a light
dragon regiment, which sabred so
gently, but completely, the insur-
gents, that his troops were ever after

named Annals. One evening on re-
turning, he found his room locked

over a upon and a helmet. Striking
a match he discovered a trooper and
Annals as happy as Don Juan and
Haide. Beside the bed was the Lieu
tenants bottle of brandy emptied,
and his meerchaum, recently smoked.

PERHAPS no greater advance has
been made in any branch of art in our
country than in the new method of
casting bronze. All bronzes have
hitherto been cast rough in sand

This process, even in Berlin, where
manual labor is cheap, is very expen-

And angels dark and radient are waiting thee
On either hand.
Till now Temptation, with Its glittering mask,
Has wood thee not;
Pure as an ocean shell within its home
Has been thy lot.
1 tremble-and my yearning heart is full to
sadness,
And weep I may
Altho' 1 see thy young brow, bright with
~gladness,
Uncaged to-day.
Ny bird, the fowler's shot is lurking near
thee;
Its cruel aim
Delights to scatter and to soil such downy
plumes,
And call it fame.
1 would not live to see thy trusting heart
In ruins lie.
Nor see my bird with weary, folded wing
Come home to die.
All, mol The futures untouched canvas
brightly looms
To greet my child,
angel fingers wait each shadowy cloud
OF harm beguil'd.
Altho' a fathers arm may never now sustain
thee,
Be brave, and trust;
A loving, Mighty One Is ever near and knows
We are but dust.
Remember in temptations dark and trial
hour
Thy childhood's vow;
Remember help is ever near the dear, dear
And neekly bow.
And to the noble heart who faithful trust
has led thee.
All praise and hanks!
In yonder starry world her crown will be
among
The shining ranks.
The Pasta volume OF unwritten fairy tales
Is folded now,
The Futures manuscript n mortal ken can
The waRere nor how.
A mothers fondest blessing and her faithful
Be ever thine;
A g~reatful heart-the service sweet a child can
give

CAHoON, the fellow in Richmond

it is fondly hoped, will now have a

Disgusting Habit.

lust take especial notice of the lady
gum cheWers. We have been making
a study of this thing for a week or
two. There is the cheWist, who buys
her gum when nobody is looking,
nips of a little piece, and chews it on
the sly. You can only detect her af-
ter long practice. Then there is the
edon't-care-a-durn" sort who chew
with a vigor, and don't care who e
them. They open their mouths like
railroad depots, and their teeth come
down on the devoted "chaw" like
forty thousand bricks. Between these
two extremes there are various grades
of chewers-the graceful and the
awkward, the bold and sly, dd intfni-
tltm. Another thing, too. The ex-
act state of the dear creatures
mind can be told by her name of
chewing. Should her spirit be serene,
she ehews with a languid, easy sort of
swing to her jaws; if she be angry or
otherwise, she eheWs vehemently and
savagely. And so on through the
whole list. A great study is that of
the lady gum chewers."

MOBILE is all agog over the propO-
sition to make Nicolson pavements
throughout that city. We advise Mo
bile, from much experience, to 90
slow. If the plan Of kyanizing or
protecting the pavement against the
action Of air and water, about to be
tested in this city, be not applied and
successful, the NicolsOn pavement is
surely the costliest luxury in which
a city ever INDUCED. Champagne
cocktails, which make ones head
swim in perfect beatitude, make it
ache with intensity of emptiness. The
supreme excellence of NicOlsOn pave
ments consists in ephemeral delights,
to be followed by fathOmless "sloughs
Of despond." Our city government is
about testing the cost and durability
Of a concrete pavement made Of fish
omingo gravel indurated and COM
pacted by a chemical process,
said to be the cheapest of all pave
ments wherever gravel is accessible.
Enormous weights, as in London, are
rolled over this pavement, thus made
as solid as stone. The walks in Court
Square might well be paved with this
consolidated cOnglomerate.
