A MONKEY DoCToR.-All previous
narratives Of intelligent proceedings on
the part Of animals are thrown into the
shade by the following account Of
medical monkey described by the Orient
al correspondent of n London Journal
lie one day saw a monkey holding IL
snake by the throat and rubbing its head
in tho dirt, but MS the ground was moist
and damp, the snake was not readily
killed by this mode OF punishment. Ey-
cry now and then the monkey would look
knowingly into the face Of the reptile TO
soc il it was dead, and in the course OF
these investigations the monkey received
severe bite. This angered the monkey
so he speedily dispatched the snake, but
its coils had hardly relaxed when the
monkey reeled and fell PROSTATE, appar-
emily in all the agones Of death by poison.
By this time ar aged-lookng monkey
arrived on the scene, and after examining
the body Of the snake and its victim, he
Immediately started for somo noighboring
bushes, where he collected some lenves OF
the plant known as the red chcrchita.-
These he rapidly and skilully fashioned
into sort of pill which he administered
to his snake-bitten companion, who speed
lily walked of with his physician. This
Is declared to come from trustworthy
sources.

PARIS TRADE LAws.-The laws in
Paris almost compel honesty in many
branches Of business, where fraud is read
lily detected by the casual purchaser. A
jeweler who sells plated or washed arti-
cles, even though he may also sell gold
and silver goods of the same standard
quality, is obliged to place the word Sim
itation" where it can be plainly seen by
customers, so that they can be on their
guard. Ifa grocer is detected in selling
adulterated articles, he is heavily fined (;
his name and place of business is publish
ed at his expense in the official journal,
and he is compelled to expose in his store
for specified time a pacard stating that
he has been fined for selling adulterated
goods. But few are willing to run such
risks, as detection is sure death to fur
ther prosecution of business. The kinds
and quantities Of coloring matter used in
the manufacture of confectionery, are
prescribed by ordinance, upon recon-
mendation Of the Academy Of Science.
The law also regulates the price of work
in many branches Of business, and it is
not always indispensable, as here, to
make close bargain in advance. If l
have gas or water put into a house, have
rooms painted or papered, and even have
house built, and fancy that the bills are
exorbtant, can send them to a sworn
officer, who makes them conform to law ;
and with the award the artisan is obliged
to be content Correspondence Hart

BANKS whirled in by an overwhelming
majority, and Salary Grabber Williams
placed on the shelf.-IOrHand ArguS.
If our neighbor had held his lively i'm
agination in check and consulted tho
Wortd Almanac and its own files, he
would have drawn the above rather in
complete sentence little difforently.-
First, Mr.. Williams was not IA member
Of the Congress which enacted the salary
bill, consequently whatever else may be
laid TO his charge, salary grabbing can
not be. Banks, who was "whirled in,"
did vote for the salary grab and took his
thousands of back pay which he never
returned, and afterwards defended the
act.-IUWidnd Press.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IS. Is7 /.

THE Detroit Free Press relates the fol-
lowing: Something like three months
ago, Hollauder, who cog>A Ascarcely
speak word of English, was sent to the
House of Correction from the Central
station court for being a yagrant. He
came to this city from Canada to find
work, got out of money, and after starving
around for several days was picked up
by the police. He had been in the House
Of Correction nearly two months when a
tellow-prisoncr suggested to him, more
in fun than in earnest, to write letter TO
a Holland widow living not over four
blocks from the prison. She owns
house and lot, has money in the bank,
and is thrifty, industrious woman. The
letter was written, and in it the writer
begged for her to pay his fine, stating
the amount, the charge against MIN, and
adding that he was of respectable family.
In the course of three or four days the
widow called at tho Jug had II talk
with the prisoner, paid his fine and took
him away. She purchased him suit of
clothes, gave him money to 60 to Canada
and hoped for good fortune to attend him.
He went home, but returned agat in a
week and asked her hand in marriage.
She consented, and the ceremony was
performed yesterday at the widows house.
Thursday evening Hol.' went out with
the boys to get some beer and have some
fun, and the result was that he had his
eyes handsomely dressed in mourning,
his nose increased in size, and got cut
on his head He wanted to POSTPONE the
ceremony for a few days, but the widow
insisted that it should come off on the ad-
vcrtised time. Therefore, when they
stood up to be made one all the company
had to laugh at the bridegroom's black
eyes and swelled nose, and he was so
ashamed that the widow had to keep
a firm hold of his arm to prevent him
from skulking away"

a SMoTHERED VERDICT.-We have
heard of n popular preacher who periodi-
| cally reproved his congregation for cough
ing in church, and an incident which has
just occurred in Liverpool shows that the
prohibition ought to extend TO all public
places. Grave legal consequences very
nearly resulted from a fit OF coughing
which lately overlook member of the
bar in the Liverpool Court Of Sessions.
a prisoner charged with stealing mack
intosh coat was on his trial, and the fore
man of the jury was about to deliver the
verdict, when the noise of the coughing
caused the Clerk of the Peace tomisinter-
pref the opinion Of the twelve gentlemen
in the box" The learned Recorder Mt
once proceeded to sentence the prisoner.
With suave approval of the judgment
arrived at, he remarked that "tho Jury
had found the prisoner guilty of the Of
tense, and so far as he (the Rccorder)
could see, very properly So" At this
point, however, the unfortunate spoles-
man of the twelve became uneasy. The
compliments of the Bench seemed to
arouse him to an understanding of the
situation, and he ventured TO inquire
whether the Recorders kindly comments
referred to the case just tried. The Re-
corder replied in the affirmative, and the
luckless juryInan could no LONGER conceal
the fact that the verdict of himself and
brethren had been an acquittal. We
think, on the whole, the conduct of the
foreman is to be commended. By thus
reverting to the actual verdict he lost, it
is true, the approval of the Bench, but he
might possibly have felt some little re-
morse if the prisoner had been condemned
to long term Of imprisonment after the
jury had taken pains to find him innocent.

be pondered by young merchants -
" During my long commercial experience

New YoRK, June l5--A letter to the Times
from Charleston says: From the official re-
cords of the prosecuting attornies Of the diff
ferent circuits 10 South Carolina it will be
seen that one-third of the number OF persons
holding minor positions have been indicted for
some offence committed during their terms OF
Office and much larger proportion is charged
with crimes Of various kinds prior to their APP
poiutment. Charleston county, is, perhaps,
worse in this particular than any other portion
of the State From the highest to the lowest
State officers in the district nearly all have been
charged with, and many of them convicted Of
one or more offences.
Among the cases cited by the Times is that
of Richard II. Cain, Congressman at large,
who is charged with fraudulent transactions,
but has not yet been prosecuted because he
was high 10 favor in the State government

BRITISH SETTLERS. -The following cores
popdence has taken place with reference to
subject whichis of particular interest to al! VINO
have the welfare Of this city and this section Oh
the State at heart:
ALEXANDRIA, VA, 10Th June, 1874.
K. Kensper, esq Mayor, Alexandria, w.:
DEAR SIR: You may have Learned from
the public prints that the Association OF BRUSH
Settlers, in Alexandria, has called Convention
of the settlers in Northern Virginia. Tor the
purpose of devsing means to induce an extern
sive i'm migration Of suitable settlers from the
Mother Country. Do what we may; strive as
we may, it is necessary TO our success, tnat we
have the active sympathy and cooperation OF
the authorities and Dative Virglnlans OF TINS
CITY and section, 10 favor OF our movement,
and to give it value in Europe there should be
public expression of the authorities ano citl-
zehs, promising such cooperation.
This section Of Virginia is admitted to pos
sess healthy climate, and Soil naturally
excellent: the bounty OF nature has filled our
mountains with valuable minerals, clothed these
mountains with immense supplies OF excellent
timber, and also given US grand scenery,
Alexandria, by means OF the Potomac River;
has easy access to the ocean, and seems placed
as if to receive and dispense the riches OF the
earth Such facts as these would lead US to
expect prosperity, but instead of prosperity we
witness great prostratiou Of all our material IN,
terests. We have peace, health, minerals and
fertility of soil, and all the usual guarantees OF
man we'll being, and yet our lands 10 I'M
mcuse tracts lie unculiivated our minerals I'M
developed, our commercial interest depressed
and our once busy wharvcs are comparatively
unused. The existence of these evils Is mat
ter Of notoriety and common concern, but |
think they have not been sufficiently pressed
upon public attention and paus devised to OBJ
waite them. In NY view remedy will be
found 10 an Increase Of our rural population,
and as an aid to such increase, an Endorsement
of our scheme by the authorities and native
eitizeus OF this city, and by public expression
of their approval of European immi grants and
the benefits to be obtained thereby, is essential.
When immigrants CAN be obtained IN suttlcl-
ent numbers to purchase, occupy aud cultivate
the lands now waste, and deveIope the miner
ais 10 the adjacent counties, then will the COM
merce of Alexandria regain prosperity, and our
wharves be crowded with shipping as Of old.
Trusting my views may meet your approval
and favorable answer be returned. [ remain
yours truly, w. B. MCCLURE
