The Prices of Poetry.

Successful poets, nowadays, get what
are called fancy prices for their produc
tons. Mr.. Tennyson can always COM
mand his price, even for an inferior ar
ticle; and some people are expressing
their surprise that Mr.. Browning should
get one hundred pounds for his new
poem, Herve Riel," which recently
appeared in one of the magazines of
the day. Some notes on the remunera.
ton received by celebrated authors
dead anC gone may not be interesting.
We all know what Milton got for his
" Paradise Lost"-namely, five pounds,
with five pounds for the second euition,
and eight pounds afterward. Dryden,
for his famous "Ode on st. Cecilia's
Day." received two hundred and fifty
guineas in ala pretty fair comparison,
we think, even with modern times
while Pope, ior his poem bearing the
same name, and intended, although un-
successfully, to rival Dryden's master
piece, got only fifteen pounds. Oliver
Goldsmith, for his Vicar of Wake.
field" received sixty pounds. Gray,
the author of the "Beggars' OPERA"
made one thousand pounds by his
poems while Lord Byron-perhaps the
most successful poet that ever lived
made fifteen thousand pounds by his
works. For his Lay of the Last Mn.
strel," Sir Walter Scott received from
Constable six hundred pounds, and for
his " Marmion' one thousand and fifty
pounds. Thomas Campbell's pleasures
of Hope" realized one thousand and
fifty pounds, and his Gertrude of
Wyoming" sixteen hundred guineas.
Crabbe received, for his poems, three
thousand pounds from Murray The
" Irish Melodies gave Moore five hun

Disinfectants.

Journal Of Health gives the following
directions for the use of the seven best
disinfectants
PERMANGANATE OF PoTAsH.-One part
of the pure salt is dissolved in one hun
bred parts of water. Where the crude
material is used, five to ten parts of it
to one hundred of water will suffice.
This disinfectant acts upon liquids, and
has little effect on solids.
CARBoLIc ACID WATER-Is obtained
by dissolving one part Of pure crystal.
lied carbolic acid (which can be rem
dered fluid by immersion in hot water)
in one hundred parts of water. Crude
carbolic acid should be taken in double
the quantity.
CARBoLIC ACID PowDER-Is prepared
by mixing one hundred parts peat, gyp-
sum, EARTH sand, sawdust, or charcoal
powder, with one part carbolic acid dis.
solved in water. Double the quantity
Of crude acid must be taken.
CARBoLIc ACID WAsH-Mix one part
carbolic acid with one hundred parts
milk of lime.
CALORIDB OF LlME.-One part IN one
hundred of water.
SOLUTION OF METALLIC SALTs.-Better
to prepare saturated solution in water
and frequently stir.
SUEyERx's MAss-Is composed of one
hundred parts of slaked lime, fifteen
parts coal tar, and fifteen parts chloride
of magnesium dissolved in water.

Three Words Of Belief.

RAEsLAsED FROM SCHILLER BY y. X. BkNsi
Three words / speak Of deep import,
From mouth to mouth they go;
They are not born of things without,
lis from the heart they flow;
Who in three words no more believes
Bereft Of worth and honor lives.
A man is free, erected so,
Though born in chains is free;
Nor rabble's cry, nor fools abuse
Need then bewilder thee;
Fear not the slave with broken bands,
A free man now before thee stands.
And rirtue is no empty sound,
Man proves its worth in life,
Fen though he stumble now and then,
God-like Is still his strife;
What oft from reason hidden les
The simple, child-like soul describes
and God lives, too. holy will,
Whene'er the human fails,
Above all time, around all space,
The supreme thought prevails:
Through ceaseless changes all may glide
One tranquil spirit will abide.
Then prove these words of deep import
And spread abroad their sound.
But seek them not in things without
Within their source is found
The man who in these words believes,
In manhoOd's worth and honor lives.

A PHILADELPHIA doctor, claiming to
be an expert in his profession, recently
settled in Havan, Ill. His first patient
was boy who, in swallowing kernal
of pop corn, got it lodged in his wind
pipe. The doctor examined the case
carefully looked at the patients tongue
and then told the father of the boy to
build up hot fire. When that was
done, the doctor told him to take the
boy and hold him over the fire until the
kernel got hot enough to "pop out"

shot gun, but while he was loading it the
doctor escaped.

CoTToN BILLIARD BALLs.-We have in
this city, says the Albany Argus, man.
utactory of billiard balls, which after
some trials has turned out perfect sue
cess. The balls are made of cotton fibre
or Asiatic hemp, which, when submit.
ted to hydraulic pressure, becomes as
solid as stone and as elastic as metal.
The ivory ball is liable to warp, and so
becomes uncertain in its movements
When this happens it has to be turned,
and ii thus reduced in size. The color,
too, is only surface deep. The new pa
tent gives ball of standard weight and
equal thickness, Of absolute hardness,
and of a color that permeates the whole
enameling. 1t is received with great fa-
vor by players, and finds market in
the Pacific States, the Mississippi valley,
New Orleans and Texas. Nearer home
it is not yet in general use-but the
few defects that attended the first ex-
pertinent are now amended, and il is
destined to supplant the ivory ball
everywhere, for 1T costs only half the
price of the latter.

THE ORIGIN OF THE NEaRo.-A
correspondent to the Day. Book, from
Tenn, says:
"Pi.ease tell me, through the Day
Book, where, and when, did the Afri-
can race (the negro) originate, and who
was their ancestors, and hew did they
obtain their color, and send me a COPY
of the paper that contains the desired
information"
The editor of the Day-Book e1-
plains the above as follows:
: "They originated just where We did,
and where all other creatures did, in the
mind and will of the Almighty Crea-
tor of the universe. They got their
color, of course, the same way as we
did ours, and as they got the rest of
their being, that is, in the will of the
Infinite. Or in other words, the negro
is different species from us-human,
of course, just as the crow is bird as
we'll as the eagle but different species
of the bird family. Finally, tho negro
differs as widely from us as tho crow
does from the eagle, and therefore to
force him into our condition or "free-
DOM" is sin sufficient to sink the con-
tincnt into perdition, and and as the
census returns show, kills both.

public that | have this morning (the

Der, 1870, which has relieved me from
all anxiety respecting the fate Of my
illustrious friend Livingstone DR.
Kirk had just received q letter from
the great Arab Sheik, Said Of Uny-
amyembe, dated 16 Rabea Ell Akbar,
which being translated is to this effect !:
CATER. compliments, your honored
letter has reached, and your isiend has
understood it. The people (that is Of
a caravan sent from Zanzil ar) arrived
in good health, and are going on to
Ujil toour friend the Doctor. The
news otsAim is that he has not yet re-
turned {fom Manimes % Che Arabic
word is sspelt in three different ways),
but We expect him soon, and probably
he and the people with supplies will
reach Ujiji at the same time" DR..
Kirk adds: "At all events on his ar
rival at Ujiji from his western journey
he will have goods for his present wants.
The new gang, ofme with fresh goods
has set out, and, the roads being free,
we may hope they will reach quickly
and safely We now learn for the
first time that Livingstone had made an
extensive journey to the west of Lake
Tanganyika, and this accounts for the
long.contiuued absence Of. all informa>
tion respecting him. Any letters that
Livingstonsmay have written and con-
fded to jealous Arabs have probbly
either been destroyed by them or lost
with some of the caravans that perished
on the journey to the coast during the
cholera epidemic.
