An Almost Forgotten Celebrity.

A writer in the Frankfort (Germeny)
Gazette says:
The following advertisement appears
every now and then in the COrriere di

lessons in German, English, and
Hungarian given at moderate rates, by
l.. Kossuth, 164 Strada Nuova."
The advertiser is none other than the
once celebrated Dictator of Hungary.
He is now almost utterly forgotten,
even in Hungary. He has grown very
old, and is now so poor that he will
gladly give you lesson for single
franc. This would seem very humiliat-
ing for him, and yet he is proud of his
poverty.
He says:
"Three years ago my friends at home,
in Hungary, offered me $4,000 forms.
L rejected the offer, and never have re-
GREETED it, even when L was hungry,
and had no money to pay for fire. e"
had occasion, the other day, to call
upon him. 1 found him in very small
room, in the fourth story of dingy old
building. He sat alone in an easy chair,
porting over an old volume. On the
walls hung portraits of Mazzini, Bixio,
Kisz, and, strangely enough, of Louis
Napoleon. On the bookshelf by my
side noticed Victor Hugos "Annee
Terrible" Kinglake's "Crimea," and
ten or twelve well-worn grammars. On
a table, close to the bed, lay loaf OF
bread and plate of dried meat. He
said: "You see for yourself now, that
am very poor; and yet when l left
Hungary in 1S49, was charged by al
the mean organs of the Hapsburgs will

When the judgment of court-martial
is rendered the accused is not present.
The prosecutor takes it to him private
ly, accompanied BY file of soldiers,
and reads it to him. Georges Lachaud
had hurried to the Marshal to announce
the fact, and he read at once upon the
Young mans face what the verdict was.
In few moments the tramp of the SOL
diers was heard, and the Marshal calm
ly descended the stairs to meet his
prosecutor. The judgment was read to
him. SIS that all ?" he asked and, on
being told that it was, he said to Gen.
Pourcet "It is my life you want !;
take it at once. Let me be shot imme-
diately." Gen. Pourcet shook his head
theoretically, but the Marshal left him
before he could master his agitation
enough to frame reply. On rejoining
his friends the Marshal said: 81 pre-
Lsume that my judges acted conscien-
tiously, as have always done. If they
think that my life can be useful to the
army, they are right in taking it. My
only fear would be having my own con-
science against me, and it reproaches
me for nothing-nothing With that
feeling one is always strong" He then
said that he had but one favor to ask,
and the officer of the guard said that he
would grant it if he could. ooh, it is
very simple favor" said Bazaine. 81
only ask that my son Ga boy of eight
years. may remain with me the entire
day." This was granted, all the more
readily as it was feared that, hearing he
was not to be shot, the Marshal might
take his own life. CATER this" he had
said more than once, 81 have lived
long enough" One of his friends pro-
nounced the name of Gambetta, who
has triumphed completely, and who
has been rehabilitated by this verdict,
and said that the Marshal ought to hate
that man.
"Hate him !" replied Bazaine. "Do
you hate q child who tries to bite you
You pull his ears and that is all. M.
Gambetta is nothing but grand en-

IT is said that with the exception of
black ink the demand for violet ink is
larger than that for any other color.
Next in order comes carmine, which is
much used among business men for
undermining and other purposes. This
is the most brilliant of all reds, being a
tinge higher than scarlet. As the ma
terlals composing it are very dear, it
sells for fifty per cent. more than other
fancy inks. The other principal colors
are red, blue, purple and pink. Per-
fumed inks find some sale among ladies,
who perhaps attach additional virtue to
the ink from its being scented, although
it is said the perfumery Injuries the
quality of the ink materially.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.


efhhPa's' nap.
On the wide porch, thickly shaded,
one clear, sultry summer day,
Sheltered from the heat, l rested,
Musing, as an old man may.
Stirring leaves of silver poplar,
softly came a cooling breeze,
Bringing smell OF fragrant clover
And the distant hum Of bees.
Suddenly my dream was broken;
Sound of fastening feet came near,
And sweet, childish words, clear-spoken,
Fell upon my listening ear.
But / did not move nor answer
Az | heard the merry words,
Sounding like the Joyous twitter
OF pair of happy birds.
" G'anpa, see we've got some posies-
INCEST ones you ever saw
Mamma gave us all these roses;
Why don't you wake up, g'anpa?'
Guess he's sleep tight, whispered Oracle;
SO they sat down side by side,
Softly playing there, till Daisy
Clapped her little hands and cried:
"s'pose we stick our flowers round him,
Play that he's our great big vase,
Then he'll be so s'prised to see them
When he wakes up-wont he Grace?"
SO, with low and earnest whisper,
And grave, important air,
They adorned their sleeping "g'anpa,'
Stepping tiptoe round his chair.
Then ut last their work was ended
'Posies" stuck out everywhere.
4" Oracle, don't he look just splendid
With those roses IN his hair"
Patiently, with eyes adniring,
They stood waiting near me there
Gentle Grace and Daisy Darling
Precious little loving pair.
Pretty soon their " g'anpa" woke up,
'S'prised' as ever he could be,
Seeing rose and yellow king-cup
Grow OH such funny tree!
And two happy little faces
Looked in mine that summer day.
so pleased their childish fancies,
Loving as an old man may.

Tobacco In Yves. Virginia.

In the monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for March, we find
the following reference to the tobacco
raised in West Virginia. 1t will be seen
that West Virginia tobacco stands very
high: o. y:
Tobacco is not a prominent crop in
West Virginia. About 1000, 900 pounds
are reported for 1869, of which nearly
tyo-thirds were grown in Putnam, Kama
wha. Fayette, Cabel and Mercer, in the
order named. A slight increase in esti,
mates is apparent in the crop Of 1873.
Average price, as reported, 8 cents mills.
KanaWha has taken the place of Putnam
as the first tobacco county, and has a
good crop of medium quality. Putnam
has declined in consequence of reduction
Of prices from 472, 655 to 200, 1000 pounds,
but the quality is rather better than the
average The correspondent says that
"the soil and climate Of Putnam, especi-
ally that part lying in the Kanawha VAL
ley, produces one grade of tobacco, black
wrapper, equal if not superior in quality
to any part of the West. At every tobsc.

equally,

THE floods OF 1874, which are deluging
the South and sweeping away the rising
crops, will have an effect they never had
before. In past years the rising of the
Mississippi has been attended by much
loss, but the loss this year promises to be
greater than ever. Previous to the War,
when the planter owned his field hands,
he fled before the deluge to high land,
taking hands, cattle, and implements with
him. The flight was only temporary
retreat. When the waters subsidized, the
whole plantation was recovered. The
soil was in excellent condition for a late
crop, and no time was lost in taking ad-
vantage of it. The harvest was always
Of unusual richness, and the abundance Of
the yield more than compensated for the
previous loss. Now-the case is different
The hired iarm-hands stampeded at the
first alarm, leaving the cattle and imple-
ments at the mercy of the flood. There
will be no second crop this year, when
the waters subside. Tho loss in stock
will be total. 1t is gloomy outlook for
the planters, who will be poorer by the
waters than by the war. For they can
not avail themselves of the compensation
which bountiful Nature offers for her
rude tumult.

which the unexempted property-holders

enormous release is placed upon the COM

little. or none at all, interest in the! N .
structions that are exempted.
Besides this, it should be remembered
that this sort Of exemption throws the
burden of taxation even more inequitably
upon real estate property than it is already
levied. The real estate of Boston, for IN
stance, pays sixty five per cent OF all the
taxes of the city, partly owing to the ex-
emption of United States bonds and partly
to the exemption of imported goods while
in the hands of the original owners and IN
Z the original packages. While real estate
ia thus unproportionately heavily bur,
dened, about SIS. 100000 worth OF real
estate IN Boston was exempt from taxa

other purposes. Since then section oil

lature, the more valuable a piece of pro-
perty is, the more likely-it is TO be in some

is to tax all men and corporations alike
and to tax them upon all their property
