The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-04-30

By the way, if General Grants
administration resembles MIR. Lin
coins SO closely, why not keep up
the semblance still further For in
stance, Mr.. Lincoln discovering the
Pennsylvania WarwicA-Simon Ca
meron-made dubious rse of his
department, found use for his ac-
complishments in the temperate eli
mate of Russia. Now, General
Grant might quietly replace Cramer,
at Copenhagen, with the unsophisti-
Gated Robson, and, perhaps, Mr..
Belkuap might not mind a te,npora-
ry deprivation of the joys of office to
aid his chief in the institution of
Lincoln parallels"

A moor Californian !

A poor Californian in Nevada
County, after being starved out OF
his cabin years ago, left for some
place where there was enough of ma
ture to support existence. Quite
lately miners found a gold mine un-
der this very cabin, and in one week
took out $500 from the hole which
they made by digging few feet be-
low where the beggar had slept for
a year before giving up the hope Of
being able to keep alive there. It
may add interest to say that the
F" beggar" began stock-raising and
is now worth his millions, but is as
melancholy over his lost mines as if
he were still pauper.

Tho sum of $4,000 ner onnur, :,

The sum of $4,000 per aunun,, ii,
gold, has been voted by the British
Parliament to Prince Arthur. The
President of the United States re-
ceives $4,000 year in currency, or
about $4,000 in coin. The laborers
OF Great Britain will hc1eafter sub-
tract from their scanry earnings $75,-
ooo per annum and pay it over to
this interesting youth, whose only
claim on them for penny is that he
is the son Of his mother, who is in
receipt Of only $2,ooo,o00 year

The following, which is known as
old Il" Mothers Symptoms Prophecy
was first published in 1913, and re-
published in 1G41. It will be noted
that all the events predicted in it.
except that mentioned in tho last
two lines which is still in future
have already come to pass
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do j;
Now, strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at roots of trees,
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float.
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and found,
In q land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonder do
England shall at last admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

The FOllies OF Eashion..A
Flll-nress Juvenile PARTY.

The frivolity of the fair sex is the
leading topic Of the day. It is the
theme Of strong-minded women, and
the pet hobby of weak-minded men.
Everywhere you hear it discussed
and wondered at. The fact is ap-
parent, but the cause is obscure. 1t
is argued that never since tie world
began was there so much culture, 50
much intellectual brilljancy, display
ed among our noted women rs at
the present time. why then, in the
midst of such Intelligence, is there
such a large number of vain and
foolish women. To this query we
offer the following reply. Much of
the affection and shallowness attrib-
uted/to " our girls of the period" is
due to tho unwise management of
vain mothers, who in haste to dis
play the charms and accomplish
ments of their children, bring them
out in society almost in their infan-
cy.
Among the recent holiday parties
given to children, we describe one
which is not exaggerated, and which
is a fair specimen of hundreds This
occurred in one of the
most fashionable streets in Brook
lyn, and at the residence of one of
the woalthiest men. The mother is
one of the most cultured women who
graces our land, and is, in the main,

Prickly heat is easily cured in one
day, by using the warm bath for ten
minutes, then rubbing the affected
part with lemon juice. The warm
water dissolves the salts that are
lodged under the skin so does the
lemon juice. When the eruption
stings and burns, lemon juice rubbed
on the part affected will give relief
in few moments. Possibly strong
apple vinegar might act in the same
way. Persons who cannot get lem
on juice might use nitric acid dis
solved, twenty grains to an ounce Of
water.
The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-04-30

A Minister at q colored wedding
who wished to be humorous, said :
"On such occasions it is customary
to kiss the bride, but in this case We
will omit it" To which ungallant
remark the bridegroom pertinently
replied "On such occasions II il
customary to pay the minister $40,
but in this case we will omit it."

Coliseum at Rome.

The Emperor Vespasian, after hi
3 return from the Jewish wnr in th
year u Of the Christian era, causet
) the wonderful Anpitheater to b.
built in that part of ancient Rom,
where were the ponds and garden.
of Nero. It was completed in fou
years, and his son Titus dedicated i
by the slaughter Of FIVE thousant
wild beasts in arena.
Adrian caused the colossal statue
Of Nero to be removed from the YES
tibule Of his own palace, and placed
in the ampitheater, where it was
worshipped as Appolo.
The Coliseum derives it's name from
its colossal dimensions, being about
l7O0 English feet in circumference.
The form is oval. 1t was built of i'm
mense blocks of Traycntine stone,
and consists Of four stories. The
first stony is adorned with Doric col
l1mns, the second with Ionic, and
the third and fourth with Corinthian.
The entrances were eighty in num-
Der, seventy-six being for the people,
to for the gladiators, and two for the
Emperor and his suit. Within the
Walls were twenty staircases leading
to seats appropriated to the differ
ent classes of the people. The seats
are said to have held eighty-scven
thousand spectators, and the poyt,co
or gallery above them twenty thous-
and. There was an awning which
covered the entire edifce in the case
of rain or intense heat. In the wall
OF the upper story ore open holes
supposed to have contained the rings
for the fastening the cords of this
awning.
Chateaubriane in his Martyrs says i
:" There We're rails Of gold before the
seat OF the Roman Senators to guard
them from the attacks of the wild
beasts. The air was refreshed by
means of machines ingeniously con-
tlived to throw up wine and saffron
water which again descended in an
odoriferous dew. Three thousand
bronzcd statues, fine pictures, col
umns of jasper and phorphery, crys-
tai balustrades, vases of precious
workmanship, decorate this scene of
savage cruelty"
A hippopotamus and some croco-
diles swan in IN artificial canal
which surrounded the arena. Five
hundred lions, forty elephants, tigers
panthers, bulls and bears, kept for
inhuman being to afford amusement
to their savage species, were heard
roaring in the caverns of the ampi-
theater.
Such We're the sports of the Ro-
mans when their empire was in the
plenitude of it's power.

Girls Don't Talk Slang.

Girls, don't talk slang. If its nee.
essary that any one in the famil,
should do that, Let it be your biz
brother, though t would advise him
not to adopt pigeon English" when
there is an elegant systematized lam
gnage that he can just as well usc.-
But don't yo,, do it. You can have
no idea how it sounds to ears Unused
or averse to it to hear young lady,
when she is asked if she will 80 with
You to some place, answer "Not
much + or, if requested to do some-
thing which she does not wish to
hear her say, Cant see it,"
Not long ago I heard young
miss, who is educated and accom-
pllshed, i'll speaking of young man
say that she intended to 90 for
him J" and when her sister asked
her assistant at some work she an
swered, "Nor for joe
Now, young ladies of inception
able character and really good edu-
cation fall into this habit, thinking it
shows smartncss to answer back in
slang phrases, and they soon slip
tl'ppantly from their tongues with a
saucy pcrtness that is neither lady,
like nor becoming. II bet" or &c YOU
bet is we'll enough among men who
are trading horses or land but the
contrast is startling and positively
shocking to hear those words issue
from the lips of Il young lady. They
seem at once to surround her with
the rousher associations of mems
daily life, and bring her down from
the PEDESTAL of purity, whcreon she
is placed, to their own coarse level
