EngrOwIng TOc-NaiI.

\ correspondent of the Scientific
American gives the following ms n
remedy for ingrowing toe nails: The
trouble and pain from this n he inn
mediately and permanently relieved.
Take a file, some four inches in
length, bastard cut, fiat on one side
and round on the other, new and
sharp. File down thin all the ex-
posed part of the nail. till it is soft
and pliable. This will Immediately
relieve the part pressing into the
flesh, which need not he cut or eX-
tracted. The filing Is not in the least
painful, as the file will not take hold
of the flesh. In the course of several
months the nail will grow out thick
again, when the filing should be re-
peated. The edges of the nail will
not grow into the flesh so long ms the
top of the nail Is soft and pliable aud
there is nothing so simple, convent
ent, safe and painless for keeping it
80 as a file.

NJ. Patrick's Day ; or, why they Wear
the Green.

Nobody can tell where st. Patrick
was born. Every ~biographer assigns
to the Saint n birthplace and name,
but, alas! nearly all of them disagree.
One account is generally believed
to be true. 1t is this: His original
name was Maenwyn. Pope Celestine
c%onsecrated him IA bishop, calling him
Patricius, in the year 433, and sent
him as q missioner to onvert the
Irish. st. Patrick landed near Wick
low. Irishmen did not like him, and
they attempted to stone him for inter-
fering with the religion of their nm
cestors. With much dignity Of man.
ner he asked to be heard. They con-
sented to listen. He talked to them
for awhile very l%earnedly, trying to
make plain unto the ignorant island
ers the science of his religion. They
failed to comprehend, and poor st.
Patrick was In despair. Believing
that God had written himself every
where, he began to look about iOr
some trace of the Trinity. See
ing a leaf upon the ground, he
gathered it. 1t was n %trefoil, q white
clover-leaf, the shamrock. See ~
he exclaimed, looking earnestly about
him, " Is it not ~ possible for the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to exist
I'm one Person, rs for these three leaves
to grow upon n single leaf stalk ,"
The argument seems to have been
convincing, for history states that
"immediately the Irish were con.
verted and baptized by st. Patrick

The French Assembly is chaos. The
Republic is 3 myth, a splendid posi-
bility, a dream-anything but a pres
ent fact. The crime of the Empire
consisted in incapacitating the people
for governing themselves. 1t educat-
ed backward, cultivated imbecility,
suppressed craftsmanship, put a pre-.
MUM upon sycophancy, and dignitied
dolts.
Thus writes Theodore Tilton. That
picture is not inapplicable to the ten
dency Of affairs in the United States,
under Radical rule. A Republican
Congress disfranchised the educated
and at the same time gave the ballot
and ten State governments to the I'M
educated.
