Habits and DOings Of the New
King.

He orders the Palace gates
to be locked and the lights put out at
midnight. He himself, so far, has re-
tired TO rest soon after ten. These un-
Royal habits-or, 1 may better say,
un Spanish habits, (fOr here the natives
breakfast at IL, and go to bed when
the cock crOws)-are creating aston
ishment. He has had one or two re-
ceptiOns of officials, at which he has
abolished the hand kissing of Royalty
for the hand-sflaking of democracy
What the Mrs. Grundys of E lgland
will say to this ! know not. He gave
FL 900 to the poor Of Madrid, and an
other FL 900 to the needy among the
citizen militia. He is soon to hold a
review of the troops, and insists On re-
viewing the militia also. He walks
about the streets, goes visiting and
shopping without any escort, and ac-

who had his hand shot away by the

The OOlored Man In Congress.

LHAOlA tne sOuIlal u COhllAfStSe-l
The House of Representatives scarce
Iy realizes that it has a colored mem
Der, for the reason that the new Con-
gresham from South Carolina is near
ly white, and sits in a corner where
few see him.
His name is Joseph H. Rainey.-
He halls from Georgetown, South Caro-
lima, where he was born of slave par
ents in 1882. Though prevented by
law from attending school, he arquir-
ed a good education, and has imprOv-
ed it by travel. His father worked
himself free and went into the barber
business in Charleston, and young
Rainey also shaved the "bIOeds' for a
living in the same shop until 1862.
The COnfederates then ordered him to
work on the Notifications. He refused
and escaped to the West Indies, where
he lived till the war ended, and then
returned to Georgetown. He was
elected a member of the State Senate
and resigned to accept the nomination
to succeed B. F. WhittemOre in Com
gres5. He was chosen by II, 1873 ma
jority over his competitor, and was re-
elected to the Forty second Congress.
He represents the most important
district in the State.
Mr.. Rtiney is whittier than Revels,
being about seven-tenths white. pOssi-
bly, an OctOrOOn. lie has long, straight
black hair, that makes a deliberate
curl at the end, such as the watering
place beaux cultivate but it has just
the~slightest tendency to irregularity
or rOpiness, as if he intended to show
that he has some cOlored blood in him.
His long. bushy side-whiskers ale pre-
cisely like a white mans.
His physical organization seems to be
sufficiently strong to bear all the strain
his mental construction will give. His
forehead is middling broad and high,
and the ennObling organization of the
mind is well developed He has an
excellent memory, and his perceptive
powers are COED. His polite and
dignified bearing enfOrces respect. OF
course, Mr.. Rainey will not compare
with the best men of the House Of
Representatives, but he is a good aver
age Congressman, aud stands head and
shoulders above the ordinary carpet
Dagger.

CIDER A HEALTHY BEVERAGE
Somebody in writing about cider says:
If most people would manage 10 drink
a barrel or two of cider during the
winter, they would come out in better
health during the spring than if con-
fined exclusively to cold water. Dys-
pPpsia was disease unknown among
our fathers, who used to make cider
a drink in winter. Now. about every
fifth man is in trouble with the liver
complaint or Indigestion. Vcgetshs
acid is just what the stomach Graves
at times, and nothing suits it better
than good draught of cider. Indeed,
it is often recommended by some ply
sieiaus, and is about the only thing
that will cure some diseases. Few
men drink cider to excess in fact, it
is not often plenty enough for that,
and people who have taste for sOme-
thing that intOxicates do not stop to
drink cider.

Influence Of Newspapers.

The Boston Traveller states that a
school teacher, who had enjoyed the
5eneft of long practice of his profess
sion, and had watched closely the in
duence Of family of children, giGes
as a result of his observations, that,
without exception, those scholars of
both sexes; and all ages, who have ac-
cess TO newspapers at home, when com
pared to those who have not, are:
/. Better readers, exceIIing in punct-
uation, and consequently read more
understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers and de

3. They obtain a partial knowledge
Of geography in almost half the time
it requires others, as the newspapers
has made them fami liar with the To-
cation of important places, and ma
tiOns, their governments and dOings.
/. They are better grammariaas, for
having become familiar with every
variety Of style in the newspapers
from commonplace advertisements to
the finished and classical UratiOns OF
the states nan, they more readily com
prehend the meaning Of the text, and
consequently analyze its construction
with accuracy.
They write better compositions, us
ing better language, containing more
thoughts and sill more clearly ex-
pressed.
From, these simple facts three i'm
portaut things can be deduced
1. The responsibility Of the press
in supplying literature which shall be

2 The absolute necessity Of person.

COLONEL -, of the - New HamF-
shire Regiment, was rather pOmpOuS
man. One time, feeling home-sick, he
got a furlOugh for six months. He
reached his native State in safety, and
while riding from the railway station
in a stage coach an amusing incident
occurred. While passing along the
road his hat fell out. Putting his head
out of the window, he shouted /:
"Charioteer, pause have lost my
chabeau J. The driver, however, paid
no attention. Again he shouted :
"Charioteer, pause have lost my
chapeau % No attention being paid
by the driver, plain, blunt man, who
accompanied the Colonel in the stage,
became disgusted, put his head out OF
the window, and said "Driver, hold
on This d-d'fool has lost his hat"

DIsINFECFANTs.-Many mistake in
confounding this class of medical ap-
pIiances with deOdorizers. The Tech
nologist calls attention to the import
ant difference. A sick or infected
chamber may have offensive OdOrs
masked by perfumes, as in the use Of
pastilles, ETC., but such practice does
not destroy poisonous ef1uvia and
gases. The burning of coffee, by vir-
tue of its empyreumatic oils, is far
more effective, and 50 with rags and
paper when burnt.
II wisely gives the preference, how
ever, to carbolic acid, well diluted aud
cOpiously sprinkled, wherever an il
fictitious or bad air is found. This is
a true and powerful disinfectant Of the
volatile kind, which, as it evaPorates,
will do its work cfflCtually.

Forbade their doubts to hide.
left, and met with comrades gay,
When the moon brought cut her light,
And my loving mother whispered me,
"DOn't drink, my boy, tonight"
Long years have rolled away since then,
My ietty curls arc gray,
But, oh those words are with me yet,
And will not pass away.
I see my mothers loving face,
With goodness, radiant, bright,
Aud hear her words ring in my ears,
"D0n't drink, my boy, tonight"
Mymother is now resting sweet
In the graveyard on the hill;
But her kind words come back to me
And haunt ny memory still.
I've often, often passed the cup;
o then my heart WIS right,
Because heard the warming words,
"DOn drink, my boy Tonight"
I've now passed down the road Of life,
And soon my race is run,
A mothers warning listened to,
An immortal crown Is won.
Oh, mothers, with your blossed smile,
Look on your boys so bright,
And say, as you alone can say,
"lIy boy, don't drink Tonight
These words will prove a warning when,
In the thorBy paths Of life,
The boy is IN the tempter's wiles,
And warning in the strife.
These words will stop the morning cup,
And the reveIFy at night,
By whispering back a mother 'sVOice,
"Don't drink, my bog, tonight"
