- MEMPHIS TENN..I MONDAY EVENING" July i 1872 Z.

1t is hard to believe that out Of Pan
demonium beings can be found to whom
the ruin of a hopeless child could be
matter for mirth or mockery, yet the
center of civilization supplied such crea-
lures, and in no small numbers, appar-
emily, as one newspaper after the other
took up and repeated the dainty jest.
A year or two ago young American
lady, who ohanced to be Catholic, was
spending some time in Paris with a Prot
sstant family, her near relatives. This
young girl was remarkably beautiful, a
perfect example of that brilliant type Of
American loyeliness wherein exquisite
coloring and faultless outline are blended
in dazzling combinations. She had
brought letter of introduction to an
aged and distinguished prelate, and he
accorded to her the favor OF an interview,
wherein she besought him to aid her with
his counsel respecting the proper per-
formance of her religious duties. Look
ing ON the lovely creature before him
with parental and admiring eyes, the old
man gave solemn utterance to this warn
ing: my child, as you value your honor,
do not go to confession to French
priest. II pould not be safe"
Comment is unnecessary, and will,
therefore, conclude with the hope that
better days and purer morals may be in
store for the Paris of the Republic than
ever blessed the dissolute capital Of the
Empire. The burgeoise virtues of the
family of Louise Philippe once called
forth only sneers from the gay jeerers of
the Partisan press but the vices of the
Bonapartes may have inclined their
souls to look with more leniency on such
stupid and questionable qualities as
purity in woman or purity in man.

How 90 WhIten a Negro.

Il. A scientist" has at last solved the
ancient ccnundrum, Can sn Ethiopian
change his skiR3" This is the way he
proposes to do il: The candidate will
first be subjected to a bath Of alkaline
water. Having been well cleansed, he
is placed in room where reliable Their
mometer indicates l20 degrees Fahren-
heit. After fifteen minutes baking, the
partially cooked victim is condacted to
a bath Of chlorine water, at the ordinary
temperature. The heat has opened all
the pores, so the chlorine flows in and
reaches the coloriug matter. To keep
it in, the pores must be closed. To close
the pores, the subject must be intro
duced into an ice-cellar, where he spends
ten minutes in absolute agony, but rela-
tive bliss, for the next step is TO drop his
exhausted form into water heated 70 leO
degrees. In this the pores open, the
chlorine grapples the ooloring matter
and departs with It, and our colored
brother is colored no more.
