Pitt seems to be less sanguine. Monday
he expressed the opinion that the State would
not be carried. by either party, by more than
$50 majority, and slyly limited that that $50
would be on the Radical side. The Return
ing Board, said he, will decide all this Pack
ard, who was in the neighborhood, looking
gloomy and silent, declined to say anything
about the result. What falling of is here.
But few weeks ago Pitt had 10000 Radical
majority to back him; and now, he can only
conjure up An imaginary $50. o, Trumpery

those which make the best appearance,
and are the least detrimental to the

sugar maple. The hickory is preferable,

Discovered Merit.

A wealthy gentleman, while passing
through an obscure street in large city
saw fine but very dilapidated picture
in a brokers' shop. He purchased il,
and inquired the painters name, but was
unable to discover more than the initials.
Confident that the picture-a seaside
view with rocky shore-was modern,
he was anxions to discover the painter.
In vain he tried all the picture dealers.
They knew the style and the initials,
but were unacquainted with the man.
They were confident the painter was
alive. but they knew nothing of his home
or haunts. The gentleman, piqued at
being 30 balked, determined to find the
painter, and at last, in despair, applied
to skilled detective. The latter knew
nothing about art or artist, but he under
took TO find the man. And find him he
did, after some trouble, in the midst of
the direst poverty, living in a dirty lit
tie court. The discovery Of the artist
was the turning point in his fortunes.
The gentleman became his partner, and
he finally arose to wealth and station.
Humble worker take courage from this
incident, and persevere.

An AdrOit Fraud.

Some years ago, Solomon Bacon a well
known merchant in London, received
letter from his correspondent in Ham
burg, which grieved and troubled him.
It said that the writer had been de-
frauded by his nephew, the son Of a
widowed sister, of 10000, and had fed
to London with the money. There was
a reluctance to make the matter public,
and Mr.. Bacon was desired to keep ST.
lencc; ''but," the letter went on To say,
eff you will invite John to dinner, and
when alone tax him with crime, he NAV
perhaps refund the money. Should he
do so, you may give him e500." The
London merchant found the young Ger
man, took him home, and when the la
dies had all Withdrawn from the dinner
table, he acquainted his visitor with his
knowledge of the fraud. Alarm was de-
picted> on the countenance of his guest.
"You will not make this public, Mr..
Bacon?" he asked.
mot if you return me the money now
and here"
"But 1 lost Gl, 900 last night at Crock
ford's, and have not the power"
"Wel," said the merchant "return me,
then, $4,000 and though 1 little exceed
my instructions, will nevertheless give
you back G50O.
my uncle is very good" remarked
the young man, and he forthwith hand
ed from his pocket-book nine G1,0O0
notes to his host.
81 cannot change one of these" said
Mr.. Bacon; "will not my check do as
well?"
"Quite," replied the German; and
having received the e5OO check, hastily
left.
The following morning Mr. Bacon
went to his banker to pay in his notes,
and found, to his surprise, that they
were all counterfeits. His next inquiry
was after his check, but that was already
cashed. He then telegraphed to his
Hamburg correspondent, and learned
that he was profoundly ignorant about
the whole affair. It was as adroit fraud
as ever was plotted.

A New Enterprise.

For me nothing is more interest
ing than to see man in the first
intense strain of a new enterprise; 1t
may be new cider-mill; it may be a
new newspaper. 1t is great crisis in
that mans life. He lives thirty days in
one. Old, trite proverbs take on new
and startling meanings. He looks up
on all men and all things in strange,
new light. He judges all men and all
things with regard to the accomplish
ment of his one, supreme design. Dur
ing a certain time the stars in their
courses fight for him; then the very uni
verse changes its direction, and pushes
with all its weight against his tottering
walls; another change, and a thousand
accidents are in his favor. He does not
know till years afterward with what con-
centration he labored in those days of
beginning. He smiles at himself, and
tells pleasant stories of his make shifts
and absorption; and now when he sees
another and younger person starting his
cider-mill, with the old, outworn en-
thusiasm, he looks on with the same
half sympathetic, half cynical interes.

Cured at Last.

A lady acquaintance read the follow
ing paragraph in a paper: "a young
wife once cured her husband ofs dispos-
ition to absent himself from home BY
providing a good dinner, and saying TO
him afterward: George, II you find n
sweeter spot than home describe il TO
me, and l will rival il or die in the at
tempt A kiss and few tears COM
pleted the victory" This lady aequain-
ance tried the game on her husband. He
wasn't melted bit; he merely said:
"When you can set the boys TO come
here and smoke cigars and talk politics,
and you act up keg Of lager, you can
count me in. like the company Of
the boyp, l do" Our lady saw that
sentiment had no effect on him. 30 che
didn't throw herself on his neck, and
hug and wet his paper collar with her
tears; but she took saucer and 6red il
at his head, and followed il with a cup,
and ended it by Singing dish Of straw
berries on his shirt bosom. Since that
time he has been an exemplary husband.
Yet he does seem anxious for her to vis-
it her dear mother as often as four or
five times a week.

The World on n MOck-Orange.

Now, my busy young friends, in case
any of you shonld come across a nice
round, yellow mock-orange, I'll tell you
what to do with it-provided your
grandmother already has a good one in
her stocking. basket. If not, you should
give it to her, and get yourself another
one. A canary-bird told me that the
way old ladies darned stockings was to
put big yellow ball in them, and then
pick at them with a queer sort of shiny
steel bill, and though his description was
MT clear; knew what he meant. Well,
you take your round mock-orange, and
force knitting-needle clear through it
from the stem end, so that it will turn
evenly on the needle. Then, with a
blunt needle, you mark the grand di-
visions of the earth upon it-Europe,
Asia, Africa and America (you see,
know them)- i'm just the right shape,
and then you put in your oceans and
islands, and what not, all complete.
Next you go over all the markings with
camel's-hair brush dipped in red ink,
or violet ink, India ink, or any water
color you choose, taking care to wipe
the orange off instantly with a soft,
damp cloth. The color will into the
markings and leave the surface of the
mock-orange clean. Then you have
your globe complete. And you can
make little wod4en prop, if you are
ingenious, that will let your globe re-
volve on its knitting needle or axis, at
precisely the right angle. After awhile
it gets dry and hard, and if you please
you can go over the markings once more
with a fine pen dipped in the proper
color.

ICE FOR DIPHTHRRIA,
The Disease Not Fatal I'm the Oneida
Community.


Since that dreadful disease, diphther-
la, has made such dreadful ravages In
New York, and is, indeed, obtaining q
foothold in Baltimore, it may not be out
Of place at this time to call attention TO
a recent letter, written BY DR.. George
Cragin, Of the Oneida Community,
which thus explains a novel, but very
successful treatment Of diphtheria.
Recognizing as we do the spiritual
nature Of disease, a. we'll az its physical
characteristics, our first efforts were 10
arouse the spirit Of the patient by means
of criticism to resist the power and lead
en- influence Of disease, which envelopsd
him like cloud, stupefying and befogg-
ing every mental faculty and effort Of
the will TO repel the intruder. The in
variable effect of criticism was to stir up
the patient in mind and heart to make n
stout defense against the attack, 10 re-
sist the influence Of the disease with
might and main, and to throw him into
a sweat, thus at once relieving the fever.
The next thing was to prepare quan
tity of ice broken into small bite, which
could be easily taken into the mouth
and swallowed or allowed 10 melt, lett
ing the piece slip as far back as possible
around the roots Of the tongue, tonsils
and upper part of the throat. This ap-
plication of ice was made every ten min
utes, day and night, until every vestige
Of the canker had disappeared and the
Inflammation had subsided During the
day the patients, unless very sick, could
help Themselves to the ice If a supply
were placed at the bedside or near at
hand; but during the night watchers
were required to give the necessary
lump Of ice every ten minutes, one nurse
attending to several patients. The
course Of treatment was faithfully fol-
lowed as long as there were any traces Of
the disease about, and although we had
over sixty cases during the fall and win
ter, and many of them very severe, We
lost not single patient after adopting the
ice criticism treatment.
Of course, the application Of criticism
would be difficult, if not impossible, un-
der ordinary hospital routine or private
practice, even if desired by the patient,
but the application of ice can be made
under any circumstances, and there must
be but few who cannot afford few
pounds of medicine 30 cheap, 30 pure
and so powerful.
The efficacy of the ice treatment lies
in its being applied continuously until
every trace Of the fungus growth, has
disappeared and the swelling and in
Aammation has subsided. Acids and
alkalies and fashionable gargles will in
some measure check the morbid growth,
but they cannot Allay the fierce heat and
reduce the Inflammation Of the swelled
throat. Ice will do both and not injure
the patient. Tryit.

RED HOT STEAM ENGINEs.-In a dis
cussion on the action and phenomena of
steam, ssMr. Armstrong, one of the most
distinguished British engineers, states
under certain circumstances portion of
a steam boiler occasionally becomes
nearly red-hot, although this condition
appears extremely inconsistent with the
supposition that it is at the same time
covered with water; he adopts this con-
clusion from having had ocular demon
stration of its possibility, as well as from
other reasons. Mr.. Armstrong says he
had frequently heard the fact stated by
called, more than once, to witness it, al
though even then inclined to consider
it mistake, owing to the difficulty OF
clearly ascertaining it-for a slight APP
proach to the incandescent state must be
nearly invisible, owing to the strong
glare of light from the furnace directly
beneath, while any degree of heat much
higher would be sure to weaken the iron
so much as to cause the boiler bottom to
give way. Mr.. Armstrong remarks that
the probability of boilers sometimes ap-
preaching red heat receives a corrob.

iron plates, in cases where the boilers
have bulged out, and which exhibit ar
appearance well known to boiler maker

A Lovers Revenge.

Some five or six weeks ago young
man named Charles Perrin, twenty
three years old, and a carpenter by trade
fell in love with a good looking girl
whose parents reside on Orchard street.
Charles has red hair and freckled face,
and although the young lady treated
him courteously when he called st the
house, she had her mind made up that
she would never marry a red headed
man. After an acquaintance of three
weeks he asked her to become Mrs.
Perrin, and was greatly taken down
when she told him that she couldn't
think of such a thing. Charles then
sought to have the old folks put in a
good word for him, but they declined to
interfere. He continued his visits, per-
haps hoping to soften the girls heart.
but Thursday evening the crisis came.
He went to the house with a bottle of
acid in his pocket, prepared to spoil her
beauty if she did not give him favora-
BILE answer. There was no one at home
but the girl and her mother, and Perrin
first wanted the girl to take a walk with
him. She refused to go, and he asked
to see her alone. She also refused this
request; and the lover had just got ready
to draw the bottle from his pocket when
something hit him. He thought it was
a dog, but it wasn't. The cork had
worked out of the bottle, and his coat
tails we're turning brick color at the rate
of a yard a minute. The acid wasn't
content with the coat-tails, but struck
out for flesh, and in about minute the
young man was dancing around the
house as if to escape bullet. Shouting
and whooping he got out of doors and
threw off most of his clothing and rolled
in the mud and it was sOme time before

he meant the acid for the girl Detroit

The Age of Lexington.

Nine miles from Frankfort, on the
road to Lexington, stands one of the
richest and finest farms in Kentucky
that owned by Mr.. Alexander. On this
superb stock farm we saw 800 blooded
horses, ranging in rank from old LEX
ington," the monarch of the turf, to the
kittenish and frisky yearling. Here al
so Mr.. Alexander has collected $100, 900
worth of cattle comprising some of the
finest stock in the world, and peeping
into the enclosure where the costly cat
tie were kept, we saw one diminutive
heifer worth $27, 900, and a variety of
most fabulous. On this farm are bred
the great majority of fine trotting and
running horses which appear in our
parks during the racing season. Mr..
Alexander's estate, which is admirably
stocked with fine farm. houses, barns, and
stables, which is more like a ducal
manor than the ordinary American
farm, extends over 5000 acres. The
roads, the stone walls, and the fine lawns
covered with massive shade trees, make
a series of delightful pictures. The an
nual sale of horses on the Alexander
farm occurs in June. Only yearling
colts are sold. Hundreds of people from
all the country around, and from every
State in the Union, flock to this sale. An
immense barbecue is held, and high was
sail marks the conclusion of the occa-
sion.
We paid respectful visit to old "Lex-
ington," the mighty sire of a mightier
equine family. He is now quite blind,
a veteran of twenty-five, afflicted with
goitre, and stood gazing in the direction
from which our voices came, melan-
choly wreck of his former greatness
The princes of the race-course of the
present galloped by, neighing and paw
ing the ground, as if annoyed at our
presence. One of them, named "Aster-
old, so far forgot his princely dignity
as to charge incontinently upon the
fence where we were seated, and the art
ist has depicted the result in spirited
sketch. The negro men who manage
these erratic brutes undergo all sorts of
perilous adventures, but they seem to
possess as many lives as cat, and, like
that animal, always land on their feet,
no matter how far the plunging and
rearing horses may throw them.-[ Ed
