The careless use OF paris green has OF late
attracted good deal of attention in view Of
the deadly effect Of very slight quantities of
the poison. Persons have died from eating a
loaf OF bread which had rested while warm,
on shelf painted with this article, whose
dust blown upon pickles has in several cases
proved destructive to life. A writer in the
New York Evening Post cites high scientific
authority as to the injurious effects upon the
soil, OF paris green used to kill bugs upon
plants. The cheapness Of this poison has nat
urslly made it favorite with suicides, but the
utmost care should be taken 20 prevent Its be-
coming means OF involun;ary as well as the
voluntary destruction Of human life.

A German philosopher, having in
his minds eye the citizens of France
and Germany, says that in society
where the men are uneducated and
light-heade,l, they will be light-heart-
ed and immoral, and the women will
be even more SO, as women arc what
men make them, and in turn men are
reacted upon by their own moulding
of women. Thus, where the men are
ignorant and unstable in character,
they are seen to indulge in brutal
tastes and foolish. empty pranks and
tricks; and, taking exact pattern after
them, the women aie equally so, with
a little more added. which accounts
for. the excess of affected turns, and
quirks and di- gushing topknotishncss
generally laid exclusively. and wrong
ly, on femenine shoulders. In that
society, continues the philosopher.
where the men are Industrious and
brain developed, the women resort to
fewer monkeyisms, are more sincere,
reasonable, and generally better be-
haved. From which it clearly results
that the animal man has himself to
blame for all that goes wrong in hui
man affairs-and he needn't try to lay
1T on his fair partner In the concern.

"WHO WRIT HER"
How Young Man from Natcl:ez
was Treated.

He came up stairs at exactly twelve
o'clock noon, when all the staff, with
one exception, were at dinner. The
exception was young man living in
Nathez, here on trial as q reporter,
and he was paving over exchanges
and making himself at home in the
editorial room, and waiting to gather
his thoughts and write up a thrilling
account Of bloody dog fight in the
bottoms.
The "he" who came up stairs was
an old chap just the length of a six
foot tape line. He had on fur cap,
his red wooden shirt was open enough
ridges and scars, and the sweat was
rolling down his checks in rivulets.
The young man looked up with a
sweet smile, and he recognized the
visitor as gentleman residing on the
edge of a cane break down the river,
a gentleman who thinks nothing OF
swimming into bayou and catching
two of the biggest alligators in it and
tying their tails in hard knot-a
gentleman who eats soup with a
bowie knife, and wipes his mouth
with the muzzle of a derringer.
Its fine day. remarked the new
reporter as sickly smile fiickered
around his ears.
The visitor felt in his pocket,
pulled out daily Herald, and placing
one of his big fingers on a marked ar
ticle on the fourth page, he solemnly
aud earnestly inquired:

it had been republished yet.

the stranger.

[From the New York Times.]
Colonel NJ Richards Muckle, the
well known business manager of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, sent to
Prince Bismarck, few months ago,
a handsomely mounted cane, made
from the original timbers taken from
Independence Hall during the recent
necessary repairs to that time honored
structure. The cane bore a simple
plate. telling its little story. The gift
was sent to Berlin through the Ger
man Consul at Philadelphia, whence
it was taken by the German Ambas-
sador to the United States, Baron
Won Schloezer, to Prince Bismarck,
at Varzin. The German Chancellor
has written, with his own hand, let
ter to Colonel Muckle. dated, most
appropriately, on the 4th of- July.
The letter breathes spirit OF friend
illness for us as nation, and is witten
in tone that one would scarcely hope
to see in the stern German Prince.
1t is as follows, literally translated:
"VARZIN, July 4. .1S75.-Colonel NJ
Richards Muckle, Philadelphia
Dear Sir-You have had the kind
ness to send me, as a support in my
oiden days. cane cut from the TIM
ber of the belfry. from the heights of
which, ninety-nine years ago to-day,
the old bell first rang in honor Of that
grand Commonwealth whose ship
bells, to day, give full and wholesome
sound in all the waters of the globe.
Il beg you will accept my heartfelt
thanks for this historical reminis-
I-cance, which 1 shall honor and care
fully preserve and hand down to my
children, with other relics of remark
able years. This day is one which
never fails to recall to my mind the
happy hours which [ spent on many a
4th OF July with American friends
first, with John Lothrop Motley, in
Goettingen, in 1892; again, with
Mitchell c. King, and Amory Coffin.
Would that you, my dear Colonel,

CELESTIAL MESSENGERS,

Angel forms around me come
Spirits from their starry home;
1 feel their presence, hear their song;
The rh ythmic numbers float along
In measures grand, and sweetest time,
That heavenly music motions rhyme.
a sisters voice, so sweet and low,
That comes to soothe brothers VICE.
A mothers voice, so kind and dear,
Speaks TO her child so lonely here.
a fathers voice, love well
Joins in the nlusics loudest swell.
Oh angel sister, bright and fair,
The liquid gold of your fossy hair,
Floats DER my pillow, SO loving and low,
And hear the words, 81 love you so.'
1t fill my heart with strange delight
To hear You whisper .good night, good
night
And msther, dear, from your home above,
Do you descend with a mothers love,
Is Sua.rd your child in his daiiy ssfe;
To guide him through the world IS cold strife,
As in my childhood days you've done,
With that gentle reproof, "not there my
son?''
And now my father, yet to me,
The same as when upon thy knee,
My boyish cares to you told;
Thy guiding hand, oh let me hold;
And lead me safe to that golden shore
Where storms and sorrow shall come no
more.
