OpIUM EATING IN SCHOOLS. Much 10

Of the preparation is sent to some pupil,
whose name has been ascertained, with Il
circular containing directions for its use
The circular also sets forth, in CLOWN
terms, the advantages to be derived from
the use of the candy or lozenges. Among
those advantages is alleged to be such "a

I'irc Proof lln lhings

In the opinion of the London Daily
Telegraph an important fact is brought
to light by the accounts Of the Boston
fire, with respect to the resistance which
various kinds Of stone can offer to flames.

seems to be the very emblem Of stability
and it was the pride Of the Boston mer-
chants that their grca: warehouses were
built Of granite blocks Yet the hard
stuff has proved as troacherous as

away. As they wrapped it round, the
stone crumbled as If it had lain in bed
of a stream for centuries, and it became
like rough powder. A few hours Of
roasting had reduced one Of the hardest
Of all materials to something like the
consistency Of small shot Marble, al
though much softer, had, on the other
hand stood the furnace heat gallantly.
And brick was found to be a better shield
against the flames than any kind OF stone.
What may be the scientific explanation of
the liability of granite to crumbe is au

will be invited to answer but the fact

How HE GOT MARRIED.-A gossiping
correspondent of the New York Herald
recently gave the following account OF the
marriage of a noted Louisville politician :;
"One of the old citizens narrates that
many years ago, when our hero fell in
love, he found some opposition made to
his marriage, and he repaired to old
George d. Prentice. then the editor of
Louisville .Ioarn0l, to help him out. He
went off to the plains, and the report
came back that he had been killed by the
Indians Prentice at once rushed in
and wrote o whole volume upon his vir-
tues, graces, AMI promise Of this martyr
to his invinciblc disposition, and there
was great d al Of sympathy made in
the State and some regret that our hero's
suit had not been encouraged. Suddenly
he came back again, resumed his suit un-
der cover of the sympathy that had been
reused for him, and married without OPP
position"

Bolls.-A boil is generally very small
at first and n fellow barely notices it; but
in few days it gets to be the biggest Of
the two, and the chap that has it is Of
very little account in comparison with his
boil, which then has him." Boils ap-
pear mysteriously upon various portions
of the human body, ming when and
where they " darn please" and often in
very inconvenient places. Somstimes a
solitary boil is the sum total Of the afflic-
rion, but frequently there is a " rubishin'
lot of EN-" to help the first one. If .
boil comes anywhere on person, that
person always wishes it had cone some-
where else, although it would puzzle him
to tell just exactly where.
Some persons call them " damboils,'
but such persons are addicted to profani-
ty, the proper name being boil. If a
chap has boil he generally has a good
deal of sympathy from others" 10

him laughs at him for his pains to answer,
while many uufeeling persons make game

wicle to make fun Of persons with boi.s;
thcy cannot help it. and often feel very
had about it. Physicians don't give boil
patients very much satisfaction as gen.

CUBAN SLAVERY. Tho Pail Mall Ga
ectte writes: From an interesting dis
patch from British Consul General Dun
lop to Lord Granville, which appears ID
the correspondence respecting slavery and
the slave trade in foreign countries Just
issued, it appears that there are, in round
numbers about 100000 negro slaves in
Cuba, considerable proportion of whom
are African born, imported during the
last thirty years; deducting from this
the aged negroes, children. and those en-
ployed in domestic and other servitude,
there may be rather more than 100000
active, able-bodied L" estate" slaves occu
pied in the cultivation of sugar. tobacco,
etc. and in addition there are similarly
employed about 10000 to 10000 Chi.
nese, who are, while under the bond OF
labor, to all intents ard purp oses slaves.
Ever since the slave trade has been seri-
ously intcrfered with the field negroes
have been diminishing in numbers over
the whole Of Cuba. They are not en-
couraged to contract regular marriages,
lead irregular lives, and arc generally
overworked. They arc not, however,
treated with wanton cruelty. During
two years residence in Cuba, Consul
General Dunlop has never seen negro
slave receive buffet or blow, though
he says they often deserve it, 1" for an
insolent, sulky, obstinate, healthy negro
is as provoking and cross-tempered as
wicked, wilful, disobedient sehooboy or
refractory mule" The Gazette, de-
lighting to have its little joke, adds
Their position is, therefore, on the whole
better than that OF a Winchester school
boy. but their hours of work might with
propricty be reduced. The " estate"
slave begins his work at six n the morn
ing, and labors with little intermission up
to six, seven, and with moonlight to eight
aud even nine at night. This Consul
Dunlop has seen repeatedly, and he adds
1t is painful and melancholy to witness
1t must, however, be remembered that as
regards hours Of labor the slave in Cuba
has not more reason to complain than
the railway official in England, and his
fatigue though painful to himself is not
dangerous to the public.

TAE MURDER OF JAMES FIX, is
brought before the public mind by the
third trial Of his murderer, f. S.
Stokes, in New York. There Seems TO
be possibility of his escape fros, the
gallows. A great deal of testimony
has been adraitted at this trial, to
prove that Fisk had threatened to kill
Stokes, &c, but it would be a hard
precedent to establish, that because a
man threatens to Kill another, tbs one
who is Threatened may lie in wait for
his enemy and murder him. This seems
to be part of Stokes defence, that Fisk
had threatened him, therefore h was
UNSUITABLE in killing him. Under any
circumstances, the crime was neither
more nor hess than assassination; delib'
crate nd cold-blooded.
