HERE are some cautionary truths that
lie in nut. shell Beware of friend
who abuses another at the expense Of fat
tering you; who is as smooth as oil to
your face, but slippery as an eel behind
your back who is as servile as spaniel
when he seeks favor. but as swag-bellied
as porpoise wher ne no longer needs one;
who is an ear-w ig in flattery, and crawl
ing reptile in reproach; who is toad-eater
for favor and church-rat for thanks
who vigorously applies the sponge in
his own behalf, and squeezes it dry
in yours; who affects liberality for the
nonce, and skins fints as constant occu-
patton; who bravely goes back on friend
and pusilanimously turns tail on an enc
my; who is bankrupt in intellectual fisc,
but swells like puffer-pigeon on borrowed
capital ; who only fails to openly revile
you for the lack of moral courage and OPP
portunity, and who would make first-class
sneak-thief, if private character were only
public property.

THE New York Sun, referring to the
topic of cholera, makes this interesting OBJ

servation:
1t has been confidently asserted that sections
of the country resting on granite formations are
usually exempt. 1t is a point which we have
not carefully examined, and we do not know
whether there is anything in 1t or not; but
while in some level, lme-water country districts
it has been prevalent and fatal, we do not re-
collect of hearing of it in any town or village
among the granite hills of New Hampshire
This observation has been made before,
that granite regions were unscourged by
cholera. II there be any truth in this state
ment, Richmond ought not to have been
very greatly sufferer in times past, nor
seriously to apprehend much suffering in
the future. We need not appeal to the
oldest inhabitant" for information on the
subject. We believe Richmond was never
very much scourged by Presidential dis
eases of any form or character, and ought
not to be with an efficient Board of Health
to give and enforce proper sanitary regular
tons. The poorer negro quarters of the
city need more particular attention just
now than any other, in order to prevent
the disease from getting foot-hold in the
city,

IulS eAuaoiullaTy STORY OI an exIfaOr-
binary woman in Maine is told by the
Portland Press:
Mrs. Hathaway, of Temple will be ninety
nine years old July l next. She chews and
smokes tobacco, and has done so since she was a
girl. She formerly drank spirituous liquors, but
ceased using them few years ago on account
OF the high price, poor quality and difficulty of
obtaining supply under the Maine prohbitory
laws. She does her own work building fires
sweeping, cooking and discharging all the ordi,
nary duties of the head of a farm household.
This is good advertisement for the
weed" and we have no objection to Civ
ing our Sc leading Richmond interest y the
benefit of it. We believe in its truth; that
is, we believe that many persons--espe-
cially those inclined to plethora may pro-
long their lives many years by the use of
tobacco. The oldest men and women we
have ever seen used the leaf" and were
addicted to using it from their ear
Hest years. We do not commend
the habit for thin, spare people,
nor for those who cannot use tobacco
without making ''expectoration machineso
of themselves. The man who cannot use
it without constant ptyalism should dry up
on it.; and so should the man who cannot
use it with clearly habit; who cannot 20
into church with "chew,' sit ont a
good long sermon, with other protracted
exercises, without letting fly /" at a dirty
spot on the carpet or some Iady's
dress in the near vicinity. This is
making a nuisance OF ones salivary
glands, which every woman should have
the right to abate with mop-handle.
We go in for encouraging all "Virginia in
dustries," and the ''historc weed, hath
our approval as much as the "wine that
maketh glad the heart of man, It is
good for use, but not for abuse.

PHILADELPHIA has curious club. Ii
consists at present of four ladies, one of
whom is Mrs. Horace Howard Furness, the
wife of the latest editor Of Shakespeare. All
the members subscribe to the CHANGER So
ciety. and hold regular discussions on the
new points raised by the Society's editors
as TO the due succession of the Tales, the
authenticity of certain lines and minor
poems attributed to Chaucer, his treatment
OF the final e, his characteristics as poet,
etc. All these little niceties they consider,
and why shouldn't they?

The Albany Evening Journal is not
very greatly pleased with the 'ssaucy and
pugnacious Wigfall," the Texas fire-eater
of ante-rebellion days. 1t speaks of him
as coming to the front again, 1--WE do not
recollect Of his being very much sat the
front" during the war; just as fiery, just
as pugnaeious, and just as much Of rebel
as ever. He made a speech at the deco
ration of Confederate graves at Baltimore,
last week, and, just as he always used to
do, he got excited, and apostrophized the
''lost cause' in terms far more intempe-
rate than loyal. He said, for instance, that
he was not one Of those who cried peace
when there was no peace. His manacles
cut deep into the flesh, but he was
consoled in knowing that if the
cause is "lost cause" the spirit that
maintained it still exists. Becoming fully
aroused, he proceeded to analyze the
causes of the war, briefly reviewed Mr..
Lincoln's position, and revived the old, ex-
citing topics of ls59-60, to the evident dis
comfort Of the occupants Of the stand and
others, among them several prominent poll
ticians, who held hurried and whispered con-
situations. 1t is hard to tell when or where
he would have stopped, had not the chair
man of the decoration committee shut him
up by very shrewd maneuvre. Wigfall is
said to be in good condition, scarcely bit
changed from the days of his career in the
United States Senate, except in the gray
which now begins to whiten his beard and
closely cut hair.

THE friends of Senator Howe, of Wis
consin, are pressing him for the vacant
Chief Justiceship, and il is said that no is
among the half-dozen whose fitness the
President is seriously considering. He is
less prominent, perhaps, than some others,
but he is yet statesman and jurist of de.
cided ability and ample accomplishments.
The President is doing well in taking plenty
of time to consider the appointment. THIS
delberation gives promise of a worthy
selection.

The Republican convention of Polk
county, Iowa, which was held few days
ago, indorsed the farmers movement, and
nominated two farmers as the candidates
OF the party for senator and representa-
tive. Good enough. Now let other Re-
publican conventions everywhere emulate
this example, and give generous share
Of the power of the land to "the hand
that holds the staff of lfe."

GERMANY does not seem to meet with
very great success in its efforts to make all
parts of the empire German. The Pail
Mall Gazette published fortnight ago the
following note: M M E M
The Poles in Prussian Poland are making Wig
orous efforts to resist the Germanizing policy Of
the government. A society was formed at Posen
last year for spreading the knowledge of Polish
history and the Polish language among the peo-
pie. and 1t has now appointed local agents in
every parish, who make periodical reports to the
society showing the number of Polish books in
the parish libraries, the Polish newspapers
taken by the Inhabitants, the sums subscribed
locally for national purposes and the number of
Polish booksellers in the parish. In parishes
where the number of books and newspapers is
not considered sufficient for the requirements of
the Inhabitants, the deficiency is to be supplied
by the society. The society has also organized
a plan for circulating among the peasantry
scientific and historical books in the Polish Lam
guage, written in popular style, which are
sold in the villages by hawkers mt cost price.
Although this movement is avowedly directed
against the government, 1t is entirely free from
ultramontane tendencies, and some of the most
prominent members of the society are declared
adversaries of the clerical party. ry =
The difficulty which Germany encounters
in Poland is hardly more unexpected than
that which it is experiencing in Alsace.
The telegraph reports that Strasburg has
chosen anti-German municipal officers.
Nothing could be more natural. The
Alsatians were never suspected of being
favorable to the change of nationality to
which they were subjected. The wonder
is rather that the event was thought worthy
to be reported. The French people have
not had enough opportunity at self-govern-
ment to teach them the wisdom of repress-
ing their political passions. In this case.
however, it will make very little difference.
The Germans must continue to be conciia-
tory, and the anti-German local rulers will
have but limited field in which to display
their hatred of the conqueror. Bismarck
is too sensible to loose much sleep over
the result of the Strasburg election. 1t is
nothing more than every sensible man
should have expected.
