Dainty in the Extreme.

contributor to the Editors Draw
er In Harper's tells the following story
OF an old Dutch landlord who except tav-
ern in New York village in the good
old times when such modern inventions
as butter-knives, silver forks, and clean
plates for each "course" of meats were
world.
One morning this worthy "Wirth was
aroused from .reverie behind the bar
room stove 10y the arrival of a traveller
a rare apparition to his household
whose dress and manner indicated that
ne hailed from "der city" 1t was near
noon, and the stranger made known his
wants Ivy calling for feed for his horse
and dinner for himself. Az the tall
Dutch clock in the corner struck twelve
he was conducted into a back room which
served the double purpose OF dining
room and kitchen, and took his seat with
the boarders- they were not called
"guests then-consisting of the village
schoolmaster, the farrier, the store-keep-
er's CLERK" and several farm hands
who hired ont in the neighborhood, and
who, being "to the manner born, con
tentedly ate their food of flesh, greens,
and pastry off one and the same plate Ill
the primitive style. The landlord and
his two buxom daughters did duty as
walters; the carving was performed by
"every man for himself" with his own
knife and fork. The meal proceeded
quietly until the first "course was dis
patched, when the stranger astonished
the natives by calling for a clean plate,
knife and fork, preparatory to changing
his ham and egg diet for a cut of roast
beef. They were handed to him, how
ever, without remark, although not with
out dumfounded stare from the land
lord, and again things went along "a
usual, until the stranger, having disposed
of the substantials, and feeling inclined
to finish off with slice of pie, called for
another clean plate with knife and fork
accomplishments. This was more than
the saturnine landlord, with his home
bred notions, could stand. He rushed
mp to the stranger, leaned over his shout
der, and looking him-not square, but
sideways-in the face, said,
"I likes to axis you yust one queshn.
"Well, what is it?" was the somewhat
surprised response of the stranger.
"Vy, wants to know uf You got bar
ditions i'll your pellyI"

He Was There,

/ was working Mt an old Tufts press
when my roller-boy gave utterance TO a
prolonged roar. He had an old newspa-
per pinned with bodlSin against the
back of II type-case at his left hand, from
which he had been reading by snatches.
/ asked him what he was laughing at,
and he read the anecdote which had so
excited him. / have not seen it in print
from that day to this, and think it worth
reproducing:
In the times when the political warfare
between the Wings and Democrats waxed
hot and relentless there was a town out
West in which the two parties were so
nearly equal that the variation of single
vote, one way or the other, might be a
matter of most serious consequence. OF
course, on both sides sharp eyes were
open and watchful.
A young man came up to the polling
place on election day, and offered his
vote. 1t was his first appearance in the
character of an elector, and he had the
independence, or audacity, to differ po-
itically with his father. His father
challenged his vote.
"On what grounds" demanded the
presiding officer.
"He amt twenty-one."
Sc am twenty-one, asserted the youth
"No you amt" persisted the father;
'you won't be twenty-one till to-mor-
row"
81 say ViU!" cried the youth. 81

Der. It's down so in the old Bible"
"Then it's dod-rotted mistake" said
the old man. "You weren't born till the
mornin' of the thirteenth Of November,

"Howy' repeated the father, indig-
nantly. Goodness gracious! wasn't L

People Should Eat More Fruit.

The Herald Of Heath, in its current
number, has an article on "Fruit and
Food" which, the writer thinks, is far
too sparinHy used by everybody. He
takes some of the principal hotels in New
York, and compares in figures the amount
of flesh and fruit consumed every week.
Thus the amount of animal food con-
sumed at the four principal New York
hotels, the Fifth Avenue, Grand Central,
st. Nicholas and Windsor, is put down
in round numbers at about 10000 pounds
per week. These are the average weekly
figures, including fish, flesh, fowl, game
and oysters. The amount of fruit is
given as 900 pounds, with 645 gallons of
canned fruit. The writer thinks this
great disparity in the amount of fruit and
flesh eaten is one of the causes Of univer-
sal physical decentralization.

DIR. Frederick Fieber, of Vienna, like
the little boy with his drum, not content
with enioying the melody OF Madame
Pauline Lucca. has made close scrutiny
of the throat whence the sweet sounds
issue. and publishes the result OF his IN
yestipations. The mechanical apparatus
which is the instrument of the mental
faculty. appears in Madame Lucca's case
to he beautifully perfect, the result to
some extent, perhaps, OF congeniui MT
ness, but also doubtless, partly OF the
scientific training TO which the young ar
tiste has been subjected i'll early youth.
Examined under the hryngoscope, the
larynx appears small and well-shaped,
its several parts being marvelously de-
veloped and perfect. The true strings
are pure snow white and possess none of
the BLUSH tinge common among women.
Although shorter than usual among vo-
calists they are stronger III proportion
and amply provided with muscle. When
at rest they are partly screened by the
false strings but DIR. Fieber, who
watched Madame Luccas throat through
his instrument while she was singing,
noticed that as soon as a tone was struck,
they displayed themselves III their full
breadth and strength. The aid given
by suitable form of mouth to the pro-
duction of vocal music is a novel and in
teresting point brought out by DR.. Fie-
Der. On being admitted to view of
the artiste's mouth he was at once struck
with the spaciousness and symmetry of
its hollowness, the otherwise perfect sym
metry being impaired only by the alb

moved, as we'll as with the vigor with
which every tone produced raised the
"sail of the palate. DIR. Fieber is of
the opinion that the natural conforma-
ton of her mouth accounts in large
measure for the wonderful power Mad
anne Lucca possesses of raising and drop
ping her voice alternately. The sound
waves are naturally strengthened i'll so
favorably shaped space, while the mus

PATENT MEDICINES. That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny; and pre-
eminent is the great California hero med
icine, VINEGAR BrrrERs, discovered by
DIR. j. WALKER, prominent physician
of San Francisco. This medicine, al
though called Bitters, isnot to be classed
among the vile fancy drinks " recon-
mended and sold over the bar by rum
vendors, but is a combination of pure
herbalistic extracts, known to possess
sterling medicinal qualities, and is COM

TEN is not stimulating to the extent that

it an almost certain specific in the most
stubborn cases of dyspepsia, and in truth

JosEPHESE MERRITT, of Nashville,
Tenn, lost her infant child the other day
in singular manner. The child was lying
in its cradle, all snugly wrapped up and
well in every way, when a colored man
dropped in and engaged in a little chat
Finally the colored man, no lightweight,
concludedto sit down, and, unthinkingly,
sat down plump into the cradle. The
colorsd man might have sat down on the
edge of the cradle, or he might have set
tied down lightly i'll one end of it he
might have done one of these things,
but he didn't. He came down like pile
driver, and it didn't make any difference
that he came up like rocket-the mis-
chief was accomplished and one little
baby was cut off from life early enough
to avoid the troubles of this wicked world.
The poor colored man was plunged in
grief, but he couldn't undo what he had
done nor make the fattened infant any
plumper.

APPRECIATION.
The Governors services in the cause of re-
form seem to be profoundly appreciated by
the old citizens His course is in such bold
contrast to Scott and Moses, and particularly
to Moses, that his praise is in the mouths of
all taxpayers.
The Governor says that these Conservative
citizens never ask him to appoint one of them
selves to office, as they do not wish him to
openly break with his party on their account;
but that all they ask is that he appoint only
the very best men Of his own party. This he
has done, and the howl from the more ignorant
and corrupt of his party only rebounds to his
credit
The universal sentiment of the country will
sustain Gov. Chamberlain in his effort to give
South Carolina an honest and economical gov
ernment And if his own party in this State
turn their backs upon him for it, and refuse
to sustain him, so much the worse for the
party They will hardly dare to do it. They
know his honesty of purpose, and they know
that, if he does not succeed in inaugurating
reform, the greater will be their condemna.

Vice President Wilson and the South.

- Vice President Wilson arrived in New
York last Friday, after an extended tour
through the Southern States, and the follow
ing is reported as the substance ofan interview
had with him by a newspaper reporter in re-
gard to his observations in the South:
He said that in his travels in the South he
talked with all classes and conditions of men,
including northern gentlemen who had been
travelling or were living in the South, and
that the testimony of all was to the effect that
affairs were improving, and everything wore
a better aspect than it has done since the war.
Good feeling seemed to be on the increase.
The spirit Of industry is stronger than per-
haps it has been at any period since or even
before the war. As to the feeling of the peo-
pie, he said: "There is some prejudice, but
the worst of that is among ignorant people.
The prejudice against the colored man exer-
cising the franchise, am happy to say, is
chiefly confined to this ignorant class. There
are few men in Mississippi who still adhere
to the horrible doctrine Of caste, or the line
of distinction in race. The men Of this class
are gradually losing more of their power.
With regard to bitterness of feeling toward
the North, Mr.. Wilson said, found, in some
localities, that there was probably some ling
ering feeling of this kind, but in all localities
it was gradually passing away. found that
there was more intercourse, and better feel
ing, generally Northern men told me so, al
most universally. Some had an idea that
perhaps this might be policy on the part of
the Southern men, but whatever may have
been the motive, (and that might have been
part Of it, it is uuquestionably true that, take
the Southern people altogether, there is bet
ter feeling at present than has been shown in
any year since the war. The education of
the people is very much improved. He did
not see any feeling of prejudice on the part
of the colored people toward their white neigh
bors He does not think the civil rights
bill has made any alteration in any respect.
He does not believe there is anything in an
alleged threatened outbreak or revolution,
consequent upon the troubles of Louisiana last
winter. There is nothing in it. I think our
Republican friends make great mistake if
they calculate on any violence on the part Of
the South. think the Southerners are going
to act with good deal of tact, and win power
if they can. In further conversation, the
Vice President said {: 81 am one of the men
who believe that it is not in the chapter of
accidents to Nominate General Grant or any
man for third term"
