Bismarck lately received letter,
marked ''priyate." 1t was opened by his
confidential, clerE, who read only a few
lines when he was seized with violent pains
in the head, and fell back in swuoh:
Another clerk picked it up and felt the
same symptoms. After little time they
recovered, and and carried thedocu-
ment to chemist, wha soon asccr-
tanned that the letter had been poisoned
with, veratine, a subtle and dangerous
substance, the odor Of which mounts into
the brain, and Is very liable to produce
death or insanity. a....,

Etiquette.


When ladies have, according to the
French custom, set apart one morning or
one evening in the week for receiving calls
it is breach of etiquette to call at any
other time, unless short visit in the city
or business that will not admit Of delay
are the excuses. An hour in the evening
and from ten to twenty minutes in the
morning, are the limits for formal call.
When there is no time thus set apart
formal calls must be paid in the morning
but with friends of long standing the eve
mig call is not only permissible, but oftel
far more welcome. gAi 5as /
Morning calls may be made by gentle
men in society upon all the occasions fol
lowing: 4a gs d Z
In answer to a letter of introduction
sent to him, or to return the call if tn
letter is personally presented.
In return for any hospitality offered t
him when visiting another city, if the en-
tertainer visit his own place of abode.
In return for any favor received 0
courtesy extended to him by another gen
temap.
First calls require prompt return, eve
if you drop the acquaintance before tn
second one.
] Morning calls must never be earle
than hoon, evening ores never later tina
nine O'Clock.
/ When calling, if the room seems crowt
ed, do not prolong your visit.

Alexander Dumas, the celebrated au-
thor died in Paris recently, ip his 6sth
year. He was the son of French Re.
publican general and the grandson of
Haytien negro girl; heexhibitcd with the
siugle exception Of color, in remarkable
degree characteristics of his African de-
scent. He was a witty and versatile wri-
ter, and was the author of the prodigiopss
number of some 1900 volumes. They
were not all strictly from bis pen. as he
used to employ young authors to write
out his ideas, and would then retouch and
print under his own name. No man who
writes so much, however, can write so
well, md the result is that Dumas fame
rests almost entirely upon less than dog
en- of his works, which were prepared
with proper care. l 7.wsia

CORRECT SPEAKISG.-We advise all our
young people to acquire in early life the
habit of correct speaking and writing, and
to abandon as far as possible any use Of slang
words or phrases. The longer you live
the more difficult the requirement of cor
rect language will be, and if the golden
age of youth, tho proper season for the
acquisition of language, be passed in abuse,
the unfortunate victim, if neglected, is
very properly doomed to talk slang fol, life.
Money is unnecessary to procure this edu-
cation. Every man has it in his bower.
he has merely to use the language which
he reads, Instead of the slang which he
hears, tt form his taste from the best
speakers and poets in the country /;
to treasure up choice phrases in his mem.
ory aud kahituate himself to their use,
avoiding at the same time that pedantic
precision and bombast which shows the
weakness of vain ambition, rather than
the polish of an educated man.

engross his attention He expects, if
business has perpiexed or made him anx-

he comes home at night, but never imag-
ines that during the day anything could
have occurred to trouble that wife. He
returns from his workshop or counting
room soured, perhaps, by some bad bar
gain; annoyed by stupid workman or
unreasonable employer, morose from
some ill-spoken word, and expects to be
received with smiles; it matters not how
sarly may be has looks, his wife must be

has she to trouble he.? And this when
the poor wife, has. through long and
weary day, been telling with family work
and vexatious care till her head is aching,
and foot and hand and heart are sore
with the worry. The tea is dispatched
silently. very likely with somber COM
plants over the trials ne has had during
the day, or the badness of the times
and then the evening paper is taken in
hand and pored over until the very ad-
refreshments are devoured, Or the read
er's face is bowed upon the crumpled
page in sleep.
Or, if he be not weary enough for that,
he seizes his hat and rushes for the read
ing room, or more probably for the loung-
ing place where such as he do congregate;
there, with fragment of cigar in his
hand and desultory talk from his lips, he
fingers till the noise of the closing shut
tiers warns him to leave. He goes at
last home again, because he can 60 no.

with heavy heart and tired step, got
the little ones into bed, and, as best she
could, has worn away the long hours of

Story of the Michigan Fires.

One Allison Weaver had a narrow es-
cape from being roasted alive during the
fires in the north woods of Michigan.
He was employed in a shiDgle mill, and
finding that the fire was coming that way,
he determined to stay and see the thing
through So he dug himself well, filled
it with water, and covered it, with four
inch planking, having saturated the
ground around with water AS he said ::
He kalkerated it would be tech and 60,
but it was the bestshe could do. When
the fire reached the mill he jumped into
his well and drew the planks together
over bis head. The smoke poured down
upon him, aud his den was SO hot that
be could hardly BREATHE the pIanks
aboye him caught fire, but he put them
out by dashing water on them with his
hands the water in which he was stand
lug cecame uncomfortably warm, but he
eond not help himself, by making OBJ
servatons as to the progress of the fire.
After it had passed over he was obliged
to wait two days for the ground to cool,
before he could pick his way to the near
est village in order to get something to
eat. Like "NIr. Grant, Mr.. Weaver
must be pretty obstinate man."

YOong Man Read This.

In the pocket book of the Hon. Steven
Allen. who was drowned on board the
Henry Clay, was found a printed slip,
appasently cut from newspaper. of
which the following is a copy. 1t is
worthy to be placed in every newspaper
and engraved on the heart of every
young man:
Keep good company, or none. New
er be Idle. If your hands cant be use
fully employed, attend to the cultivation
OF your mind. Always speak the truth.
Make few promises. Live up to your
engagements. Keep your own secrets If
you have any.-When you speak to a
person look him in the face. Good COM
pany and good conversation are the sin
ews of virtue. Good character is above
all things else. Your character cannot
be essentially injured except by your
own acts. If any one speaks evil of
You, let your life be such that none will
believe him. Drink no kind of iutoxica-
ting liquors. Ever live misfortune ex-
ceptedl within your income. When You
retire to bed. think over what you have
been doing during the day Make no
haste to be rich if you would prosper.
Small and steady gains give competency
with a tranquil mind. Never play at
any game of chaace Avoid temptation
through fear you may not withstand it.
Earn money before ypu spend it. Never
run into debt unless you see way to ge.
out again. Never borrow if YOU can
possibly avoid it. Do not put c IF till to-
morrow that which should be done to-
day. Do not marry until you are able to
support wife. Never speack evil of
any one. Be just before you are gener-
ons- Keep your self innocent, IF Won
would be happy. Save when you are
young to spend when you are old. Read
over the above maxim at least once a
week.

Hydrophobia.
From the St. Joseph Gazette, Oct. q

On the evening Of the 18th inst, a
pretty little girl aged about three years,
a daughter of w. G. Kennedy, a police
man at the Fl. and St Joe depot, was BIT
ten by dog supposed to be rabbid.-
One Of our city physicians was called in
to see the little sufferer, and after an ex-
animation, expressed the opinion that no
danger was apprehended A short time
thereafter, however. the child manifested
symptoms of a dangerous character, and
she was taken to DR.. Purcell, who pro-
nounced the wound bad one, and add
yised the parents to take the little girl to
Savannah, where there is a mad stone.
Mr.. Kennedy Immediately followed this
advice. aud he says the result demopstra-
ted the wisdom of the course. An ap-
pllcatlon of the stone to the parts of the
system away from the wound exhibited
nothing Of importance, but the moment
1t was applied directly to the wound. it
adhered with marked tenacity, thus prov
ing that the poison of hydrophobia was
in the system. The mad stone Is owned
by Mr.. j. Nelson, of Savannah.
