Poisonous CoLoRINGs.-It appears
thatgreens are not the only colors which
contain arsenic, nor wall paper the only
fabric colored with arsenical pigments.
A correspondent of the Chemical News,
who is in position to know, states that
the French use the following pigments,
containing arsenic, in colico printing,
and that they are equally suitable, and
doubtless used, in coloring of paper
hangings. Light scarlet pigment con-
tanned alumina, arsenious oxide aurine;
scarlet ponceau contained carbonate of
lime, in addition to the ingredients just
named; dark green, preparation ofan-
lime green and arsenious oxide; steam
chocolote and eatechu pigment, both
contained the arsenious oxide. The
presence of arsenic in red, as we'll as in
green colored wall paper, has been de-
nonstrated by Hallwachs.

BETTING ON THE GIRL-CARD.-
The three-card monte swindlers are
swarming along the Union Pacific.
They have infested the trains between
Omaha and Cheyenne. The other day
a party of English tourists, high toned,
high-priced fellows, passed over the
road from Cheyenne eastward. Short
ly after leaving the latter place a fellow
unfolded his coat across his knees and
opened ont blooming monte game on
his impromptu table. At first, as is
usual in such occurrences, nobody bnt
the owner of the game took much inter-
est, but in little while one of the Eng
lishmen, and then another, and still
another, stepped up to the stranger,
"Only to look on, you know" The
trick was, of course, to guess which
one of the cards was queen, and the
"dealer," on some hatched-up excuse,
turned his back for a moment, the ever
present copper "bloweP GU his part
ner, as it were, and told the English
man that the girl-card was marked.
The Englishman, drawing a wallet out
of his capacious pocket, planked down
q round thousand and said: "There! I'll
bet you that can guess the queen" At
last accounts the Englishman was be-
wailing the loss of his thousand and
roundly abusing the country whose
only queen was pasteboard one.

" A New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger says "the
Groesbeck letter declaring the Demo-
cratic party defunct as at present con-
stituted, and recommending a reorgan-
ization of all the elements opposed to
the administration, under some such
title as the Liberal Democracy is
making quite stir among the politi-
clans. The Fifth Avenue wing of the
Democracy, represented by the Man
haitian Club, do not take kindly to Mr..
Groesbeck's suggestions. They say the
Democracy have no occasion to change
their name, as they never did anything
they were ashamed of, and that even if
a new name were necessary, the term
Liberal is too closely associated with
recent defeat to be acceptable. The
other wipg-more directly represented
by Tammany Hall-are inclined to
agree with the gentleman from Ohio.
They say they az tired of being always
on the losing side, and are ready to do
anything now that will open up the
road to success in 1876. They will
change their name; stick to the Gree
ley Republicans, and do almost any
thing else to stregthen their position.
August Schell, John j. Cisco and other
"solid men" of the party, are said to
have similarly expressed themselves in
the course of the day. As for John Co.
chrane and the Liberal Republicans,
they are delighted with the exception
of the paragraph about the name. II
there is to be any change in that re-
spect, the former thinks it should be to
Liberal Republican" and not "Liberal
Democratic"

How Mrs. Henry Dealt With a Bur-
glar.

There is a peculiarly saddening effect
IN awakening in the night and hearing
burrlars at work in your house. This
was the case with Mr.. Henry, on South
street, Friday night. AS soon as he de-
tected the noise, which appeared to be
down stairs, he softly crept out ofbed,
and commenced to prowl around for
match. His wife was soon awakened
bv the same noise, and believing that
something was the matter with the
children, who slept in the next room,
she carefully withdrew from the bed so
.. not to disturb her husband, and
otorted for the door. An instant later
they collided. What he thought was
evident enough. All the hard earnings
ofap arduous life were at stake. Be-
fore him stood one or more robbers
With an exclamation of condensed elo-
ouence he clinched her. What she
thought is not quite so evident, but it
vas doubtless of her husband and chill
dren, and being plucky withal, she at
once twined her fingers in his halr,'and
rove him a wrench that made him think
of death.
Then both of them went down to the
floor together; she having the advan-
tare in the fall, and, getting on top,
with her hands still in his hair, she
shook his head against the floor with an
energy and courage that would un-
doubtedly have filled him to overflow
ing with admiration, had he known
who it was, or had he known anything
at all. Every time she raped him she
shrieked for help, and in brief space
of time the children and Mrs. Eben Da-
Wis, who lives down stairs, were on the
scene. Mrs. Davis was not dressed Tor
company, but in the excitement she
didn't mind adornment. She held q
candle in one hand and long carving
fork in the other, and was about to
drive the latter into the legs of the vii
lain, when recognition ensued. Then
Mrs. Davis laid down her candle il one
direction and the fork in another, and
Immediately returned to her OWL apart
ments, her yellow flannel Dightcap, as
she shot down the stairs, being the first
thing Mr.. Henry saw on springlng to
his feet. The children were returned
to their room and put to bed, but the
parents did not resume their couch. 1t
was so pleasant that Mr.. Henry conclu-
ded to remain up the rest of the night
and enjoy the scenery, and Mrs. Henry
thought it best to stay up, too, so as to
change the cloths ON bis head as often
as possible. Danbury News.

The Morals Of Railroad Building.

The St. Louis Times throws out some
suggestions affecting the demoralizing
j nfuence of railroad building,
especially pertinent to localities where
new railroad enterprises are projected.
The Times says: "The usual manner
of proceeding in the building of local
roads in the West, is to induce the CT
ties, towns and counties through which
the road is to pass, to issue their bonds
for nearly, if not quite enough money
to build the road. Then, before being
completed, it is mortgaged. Default is
made in paying the interest on the
mortgage bonds, the road is sold, and
the stock Of the communities that sub
scribed the money to build it, at one
fell swoop is rendered worthless. The
road is bought in by a combination
of its Board Of Directors, who, gener-
tally, are only agents for some great
Eastern lines, the stock of the road is
watered up to two or three times its
value, and the farmers who borrowed
the money to build the road in the first
place, and who are still paying interest
on their bonds issued for that purpose,
are charged exorbitant freight rates in
order to pay these bogus owners ten per
cent. interest on their fictitious capital
"This is about The way the thing is
managed when only private parties and
municipal corporations are concerned.
And as the operators are generally smart
enough to keep within the letter of the
law, and moral honesty and the equi-
ties of business are supposed not to APP
iply to railroads, the success of the
transaction is looked upon as an evil
dence of sharpness, and as something
to boast of. But this is small game to
your capitalist of genius. He only
finds full scope for his abilities when, in
some way or other, he can get the Uni
ted States Government as his partner.
Then he is in his element. The Credit
Mobilier Developments in Congress last
winter gave the public partial insight
into the corruptions and chicanery that
characterized the building Of the Union
Pacific. But it appears now as if these
gentlemen were noyices at their work
when brought into comparison with
those who manipulated the affairs of the
Central Pacific. As far as the matter
has been traced, the managers of the
Union Pacific cleared only the pitifuI
suu of $40, 100000 in their philanthro-
pic endeavor to give US transconti-
mental railway, while the managers Of
the Central Pacific, with only ss1 miles
ofroad to build, succeeded, by industry
and close attention to business, in alb
sorbipg s2ll ,a99, 32s."

Inone of the towns of Mississippi tw

Inone of the towns of Mississippi two
colored men were arrested on the
charge of burglary. The jury before
whom they were tried were all colored.
After the case was tried they retired
and made up verdict, which was an
nounced to the court. On being called,
the Judge asked for the verdict, which
the foreman delivered as follows: "Dis
jury find dat one of de 'cuse busted in
dc sto', and stole dat bacon, and dat
de oder didn't do muffin" (which
one do you find guilty?' asked the
Judge. Oats de question, boss" re-
turned the foreman: "dat's jest what
we can't find out, and we recommends
dat dis honorable coat jest have anoaer
trial and find out which on dem two

ScoLLoPED HAIR.--The very last
agony in Saratoga is "scolloped hair"
All the "swell" young ladies'
"Now, what is scolloped hair ?" I
asked young lady who had an attack
of it.
"Why, this is it; we don't puff or
frizzle our hair any more in front, but
we stick it down in scollops over our
foreheads-six scollnps on each side"
elbow do you mean stick it down 2"
"Why, the hair dresser sticks it
down with gum arabic aud ounce seed.
Sometimes he uses transparent glycer-
inc soap. This is the best thing to use.
The fashion has started with foror
just like the Dolly Vardens, redingotes
and the Grecian bend, and is bound to
CO."
On looking around in the hop-room
tonight, l found ten of the most
fashi0nably- dressed women in Saratoga
had their hair scolloped bad. Every
young lady who affects the new grass
hopper back bend had severe attack.
The scollops are about an inch apart
a succession of cow-licks, one running
into the other.
The sticking-down process was evil
IDENTIFY stolen from the Modoc Indians,
while the undulating, rolling hard line
on the forehead must have been taken
from same antique Pompian vase.
