The lali, Of indiscriminately charging
public officials with being thieves and
plunderers, without the proof to sustain
the charge, tends to weaken the force Of
language. Every day use, or rather mis-
use, Of such words. eventually wears of
the rough edges and renders them COM
parativelv harmless. At last it becomes
no reproach 10 accuse an official even if
he be dishonest When the good are as

by the public vindication Of the former.

Liable to he Misunderstood,

Max Adeler is responsible for this
celestial story: There is a Mrs. Smith
over in New Jersey who has engaged q
coolie to do her house work for her.
Like all Cinnamon, he uses exaggerated
and preposterous terms when addressing
a superior. And so, few weeks ago,
when he wished to know if he should
bring the wash tubs up out of the cellar,
he approached Mrs. Smith and used the
following formula, which he had studied
up with great care: "Would the beau
teous dove who broods like an angel of
peace over this fair heaven of domestic
felicity, cooling soft notes to her atiec
tionate mate, desire me to conduct the
wooden vessels from the sublime sub
terranean apartment where they are ex-
cluded from the glance of her soft
eyes?" Perhaps it was his broken En-
glish, or it may have been his warmth
of manner, but Mrs. Smith imagined
that the wretched Monaghan outcast
was making love to her, SO she floored
him with a broom handle, rolled him
down two pairs of stairs, and then sat
on him and thumped him up lot,
while Mr.. Smith held him by the legs.
The coolie conceived an idea that this
ceremony must be invariably incident
to the removal of tubs from American
cellars-that it was some kind OF rell-
gious rite which was to be performed
always on washing days; and now, every
Monday morning, he stutfs newspapers
under his clothes in order to go through
with the performance with as much
comfort as possible.

Explosive Cigars.

Every now and then we hear Of pain
ful accidents from the thoughtless and
reprehensible manufacture OF explosive
cigars. Some cases have occurred
lately in which severe injury was done
to the eyes of the victims. The cigars
in question appear genuine to the pur-
chaser, but contain minute squib or
cracker, which, when the cigar has
been consumed to certain point, ex,
plodes, the cigar itself flying to some
distance from the mouth of the smoker.
Joking with these dangerous articles
should be severely punished. The Paris
Figaro states a case especially trying.
1t seems that not long ago gentlemen,
happening to have some IN his pocket,
and believing them to be the ordinary
cigars, offered one to his uncle, whose
property he expected to inherit, and
who wore set OF artificial teeth.
Great was his horror when he saw what
appeared to him to be the entire Jaw OF
his avuncular relative brisAly shot from
his mouth and fasten ON the nose of a
high official dignitary, who was heard
to shrek out, Indignantly, Monsieur,
YOU have bitten me-" We trust this
painful example will have its weight in
doing away with the circulation OF
these miserable traps for the unwary.
AS joke they are about as humane as
placing nitro glycerine balls in chewing
tobacco.

To Prevent Dog from Chasing Sheep.

A correspondent of the London Field
thus tells how he cured dog of chas-
ing sheep. A large deerhound, with
not being we'll looked after, got into the
habit of chasing sheep, and killing
them, too, whenever he had an oppor-
tunity. He was sharply corrected and
kept chained up for some days, but
when again taken out was as bad as
ever. My father happily remembered
how he had cured larger retriver of
the same sin fve-and-thirty years before,
and we have, am pleased to say, made
a perfect cure of my deerhound. After
one of his chase he was taken up to the
sheep farm, securely tied between two
old Scotch rams, and then let loose in
the yard. No sooner was he let loose,
than all three, being good jumpers,
cleared the wall, and the dog was drag
ged about the park till all three were
dead tired. The poor fellow was then
taken home, and | can assure you
''sheep chasing" is now the very last
thing of all others that he ever thinks
of. We have surer cure, and besides,
it does not worry the rams. 1t is half
an ounce of lead between the two eyes
projected from the muzzle of a rifle.

Remedy for Painful Wounds,

A correspondent desires US to give
INN OF the best remedies that we know
OF for wounds. We know of none su.
perlor to the following one, which an
peared not long since in the Couatrv
Gentleman: Take pan or shovel with
burning Goals, and sprinkle upon them
common brown sugar, and hold the
wounded part in the smoke. In few
minutes the pain will be allayed, and
recovery proceed radiply. In my own
case, rusty nail had made bad wound
IN the bottom of my foot. The pain
and nervous irritation was severe. This
was all removed by holding it in the
smoke Tor fifteen minutes, and | able
TO resume my reading in comfort We

with like results. Lately, one of nv
men had hnger-nail torn out by a pair
OF lce-tongs. 1t became very painful.
as was to have been expected. Held in
sugar smoke for some twenty minutes
the pain ceased, and it promises speedy
recovery. AS a good substitute for
this, we will merely add that a tea.
spoonful of the tincture of arpica.
added to a pint of cold water, will an.

Potato Famine i'm Britain.

England and Ireland are threatened
with a potato famine. The alarm is so
great as to attract the attention of the
Government. Mr.. Gladstone has writ
ten to the Director of Kew Gardens,
DIR. Hooker, saying, that we are on I" the
eve OF potato famine" and requesting
him to give "the widest publicity" to
the very simple method introduced in
to " certain villages in Suffolk" for utIl-
ling the diseased tubers. This meth
cd " depends on the fact that the starch
OF the potato is not affected by the
disease DR.. Hooker, believing the
famine will be great, urges the lntroduc-
ton OF beet'root, turnip-tops, and 9th,
er vegetables as articles Of daily food.

the crops in Ireland say. that in many
parts of that island, 1.-THE poor farmers
