We started for Madison at o'clock on
the evening of the nth, and arrived there
ct 1 o'clock in the morning were met by
a committee on the cars and assigned
with card, with two other gentlemen, to

we were received and entertained as the

CT in the morning another gentle
man and two ladies arrived and were re-

and accord to Mrs Jocobus the credit Of

The stersetyped sniIe.

Beware of the man or woman with .
fixed smile. Trust the most hideous
sc0wler before the being who goes about
with an angelic grin carefully exhibited
to all eyes under any and every circum-
stance. It is not natural to smile perpet-
ually, and no one ever assumes mask
without being conscious of necessity for
concealment. Don't misunderstood me.
There are young women, and few old
men, who break out into smile whenever
they speak. These are not the people 1
mean. The smile Of which warn you
lisa motionless, hypocritical, fixed express
sion, which have seen worn during si-
lent three hours journey by rail. without
the slightest alterafion-that sort Of smile
which most misguided lady artists pre-
sent upon their canvass when they delin-
cate martyrs, saints, and angels. The
portrait Of lady has different smile
the fashion-plate simper-which, though
semi-idiotic. is not dangerous. Persons
of no penetration allude to the chronic
smile as $50 sweet 20 and any one capable
of holding the muscles of the face under
control is generally able to squeal sweetly,
to move quietly, and to use choice lam
g,lage, measured tones in moments Of the
greatest excitement, and SO can always
place q better man or woman ct great dis
advantage, and appear injured and limo

or q Cup Of Coffee.

1t has been truthfully said that even in
these enlightened days. and in the lands
most blessed by the influence of civiliZa-
ton, there are thousands upon thousands
of persons born into the world who live
long lives and then go down into the II
graves without ever having tasted good
cup of coffee. There are many reasons
must be that so few persons know how to
make good coffee. And yet there have
been thousands of recipes and directions
published which teach us how to make
good coffee by boiling it; by not boiling
It: by combining the essence and aroma ;
by making It In an open vessel by steep
ing it; by not sleeping it by clearing 1t;
by not clearing it; by grinding it fine
by grinding it coarse, and by many other
these. Now we do not intend to try t.
tell anybody how to make good coffee,
but we just wish to say a word about the
treatment of the coffee after it is made. And
on this treatment depends its excellence,
brew it as you may. The rule is simple :
nerer decant 1t. Whatever else you do
about it, bring it to the table in the vessel
in which it was made. A handsome urn
or gorgeous cOffee-pOt is the grave OF
good coffee. OF course, if it is considered
more desirable to have the pot look well
than to have the coffee taste well, we have
nothing more to say. But when hot cot
fee is emptied from one vessel into another,
the kitchen ceiling generally receives that
essence-laden vapOr which should have
found its way into the cups on the break
fast table. And one word about these
should find the milk or the cream already
there. BY observing these rules, ordina-
ry coffee, made in almost any way, Is
very palatable.

An important discovery, which It is ex-
pected will ultimately reduce the cost Of
steam-power GO per cent, has recently
been made and put In practical operation
in Boston. The discovery consfsts Of a
process by which the great amount of
heat that now escapes into the air in the
waste or exhaust steam from engines, is
utilized by conducting 1t through the
tubes of boiler filed with bisulphide Of
carbon-a fluid which boils at no deg.
Fahr., and at the temperature Of exhaust
steam, gives q pressure Of sfxty-ffve
pounds to the inch in the boiler. The va
por formed in this boiler is used to drive
an engine, instead of steam, and after be-
ing used is condensed by cooling, pumped
into the boiler again, and used continuous
ly without loss. A number Of carefully
made experiments are said to prove be-
yond question that, by means of this pro-
cess, the same fuel now required to pro-
duce 100 horsepower, with the best en-
gines In use, will produce $50 horsepower,
showing gain Of 150 per cent. in the
amount of power obtained by the con-
sumption Of coal. This is very impor-
tant discovery, and, II further expert
ments shall bear out the claim which is
now made for it, will be of immense ad-
vantage to the entire manufacturing in
terests of the country.-Amerieon Manu-

This remarkable fiber, which formerly
was only used for the coarsest purposes,
has of late become invaluable. 1t makes
a serviceable substitute for hair in CHG
mons, and Is now used extensively as a
mix" in silk. Owing to its kindly wav
of taking the dye, and the gloss which it
sustains, a large quantity can be used in
silk, and yet defy detection, except by an
expert. 1t is, in consequence, highly de-
sirable that It should be produced in our
country, if possible. Some experiments
by agriculturists are under way which
seem to promise success. Mr.. F. 4. d.
Lacroix, Of New iberia County, Louisiana,
has, on his plantation, several rows of the

Crazy Black Dick was the name by
which a benevolent negro, who died the
other day in Harrisburg, Pa, was known.
He was an idiot, or nearly an idiot. He
seemed to have but one impulse, and very
little mind. How he lived we do not
know, but he should have had a pension
from the State, and gold medal from the
Royal Humane Society, and all the orders
ever invented to reward those who devote
themselves to the public welfare. For
Crazy Black Dick gave his whole atten-
ton to warning people off the railway
track when train was coming. How
many lives he saved can never be known,
but he was faithful to his self-impOsed
duty. Once some officers of the road Of
fered him a free ride to Pittsburg, and
Dick accepted it. But when he got back
he was grieved to hear that child had
been killed in his absence, and Dick never
| afterward left his post until relieved by
death. To us there is something exquis-
itely pathetic in such a life. Very few
ideas could get into Dicks poor head. but
the self-sacrificing life of the poor fellow
with the clouded intellect was immeasur-
ably more sublime than the most brilliant
life of self-seeking in the world. Here
was an intellect, scarcely superior to that
of brute, ennobled by 4 purpose rs sub
lime as that of an angel.
There is another story which We may
udNC tOlu Ill LICSC COlutuuS UeIOrC, Dut
which deserves to be set alongside this one
| of Dick.
In Rock Island, Illinois, there was. a

pie in some parts of the country to con-
| fine lunatics in jails. At the time we saw
her she had been there for years, and we
could not find that anybody knew to
| whom she belonged, or at whose instance
she had been confined. This old woman
did not have a cell in the woman's depart
| ment. but in the mems. She was called
The Mother" and wore round her neck
a clumsy wooden cross that had been
whitfield by some prisoner. Her whole
time was employed in caring for the pris-
oners; she patched their clothes and
darned their socks and nursed them in
sickness. The hardened criminals ven
Grated her, and if any man had dared mo-
lest ssThe mother" he would have found
plenty ready to defend her. Her cell-door
stood open, and she walked out among
the men who were congregated in the cor
ridor, looking on them all as her sons
Here was an intellect clouded and moral
nature unimpaired. The blessed old Sis
ter of Charity had all the sweet mother
love In her heart, and she was very an.

Another Great Engineering Work.

A contract has lately been signed be-
tween the directors Of the st. Gothard
Railway, Switzerland, and n. l.. Favre,
of Geneva, for the boring of q new rail-
way tunnel through the Alps, which
promises to surpass anything OF the kind
yet attempted. The length Of the tan
mel will be little more than ninc miles.
Cost $40, 000.O 900. The work Is to be fin
ished within eight years and if sooner
finished the contractor is to receive 81 600
a day for each day in advance of the con-
tract time. If the completion Of the work
is from any cause delayed beyond the
contract time, 81, 600 day are to be for
feited. If the delay reaches beyond six
months, the forfeit is then to be increased
to $1,000 day. The contractor deposits
81 ,6OO.O 900 as security for the faithful per-
Torrance of the work. If the delay ex-
ceeds the contract time beyond one year,
the contract is to be broken and the COM
pany take possession of the security
money. The contractor is an eminent civil
engineer, and man of rare abilities. He
was formerly a journeymal carpenter in

The following synopsis of the naturali-
cation laws Will be found of interest to
those who are about to take out naturali-
cation papers, in view Of the coming cleo
ton:
Aliens who arrived in the United States
before they were eighteen years Of age,
and who have continued to reside here,
are not required to take out any ssfirst pa
pers" after having resided five years in
the United States and become twenty-one
years of age.
Soldiers who have enlisted in the regular
or volunteer army of the United States
and been honorably discharged, do not re-
quire any certificate of declaration.
All other persons must procure certif-
icate of declaration at least two years
prior to getting their full papers or certif-
icate of naturalization, and no length of
time or residence will obviate the neces-
sity of procuring the first papers.
First papers may be obtained at any
time by an alien of the age of twenty-one
years or upward, and no testimony other
than tnat of the applicant is required.
To obtain full papers the applicant
must have resided at least two years in
the United States after receiving his first
papers, and the whole term Of his resi-
not less than five years, and one in the
state where the first application is made.
Upon making application for full papers
the applicant must bring into court his
first papers, and have with him witness
who has been acquainted with him five
years, who can testify to his good charac-
ter, and that he is attached to the principles
of the Constitution of the United States
and well disposed to the good order and
happiness Of the same.
If first papers have been lost, copies
may be obtained by writing to the clerk
of the court from which they were issued.
When a father receives his full papers,
his children who are under the age of
twenty-one years and whose residence is
then in the United States, are considered
citizens

Science and Legislation.

In the struggle that science is making
n every civilized land to gain some con.
sideration OF her demands, too little atten-
ton is paid to the services that she has
rendered to the human race in past ages.
The laws of every country bear toa great
er or less extent the impress ofthe results
that have been derived from scientific in
vestigations, but how rarely do we find in
the records Of the same nations any indi-
cations Of their encouragement of such
Investigations.
The great Hebrew Legislator planned
his laws on q sound scientific basis he
regulated the diet Of his people to suit the
ordered the burial Of every species Of ex-
crement and refuse; he fixed the lines of
prohibition of marriage, and founded and
erected his system with such success that
the frequent escape Of the Hebrew race
from the e6ects of terrible epidemics has
by some been ascribcd to- the sanitary
regulations of this religious code.
In China, likewise, scientific principles
constiflite tie basis o. which the laws are
founded. Nothing Is wasted. Whatever
the earth in her bounty yields is returned.
Not a particle of sewage is lost. and as .
result we find that third Of the human
race is supported within the limits of that
monarchy and yet the land has lost moth
ing of its fertility.
Egypt, Greece, Rome, also give evidence
of the influence Of scientific knowledge in
elevating them to the lofty position they
each in turn occupied. The very armies
of the Roman Empire depended on adj
vances In science for their efficiency.
How to move such mason what to
feed it. to keep 1t in healtll-how to inn
prove its means of attack and defense-all
these are scientific problems Of the highest
order.
Turning to our own time, the explana-
ton offered on all sides of the results of
the Franco German war is the more thor
ough education of the Germans, whereby
they were rendered more efficient, and
could act more intelligently toward the
accomplishment of the desired end. The
lesson taught by these facts has now been
SO clearly perceived by all European ma
lions, that enactments are appearing ev-
erywhere, the object of which is to aid as
literally rs possible in the advance and
dissemination of scientific knowledge
among the masses, not only for the pur-
pose Of increasing the military power, but
also to improve their literary culture. 1t
finement Of language and manners into
the mind of him who is to spend his life
in manual labor, but he can be taught to
lessen his labor, or to obtain more favorA-
BILE results from the same amount of ex-
ertion. When this step is gained the
other follows of itself. In place, there.
fore, of the antagOnism that letters SO gem
orally display in our colleges toward SCI
ence, there should exist q more cordial
understanding, for it is often through the
advance Of science that art and literature
have their own advancement.-Scyibn

George Sands new novel, s'Francia, :"
though provided with a narrowing "de-
nouement," is not nearly 30 popular in
of Dumas fills, which is now all the rage
in the city. The booksellers, indeed, say
that .'Frnncia'' has scarcely any market
value. For five volumes of it sold, twenty
of the rival work are called for. As So
