Use or SILENCE.-A pity that so
few people understand the tnlI effect OF
well timed silence. How eloquent 1t is
in its reality. Acquiescen3e, contra
diction, difference, dirdain, embarrass-
ment, and awe may all be expressed by
saving nothing. 1t may be necessary
to Illustrate this apparent paradox by Il
few examples. Dc not seek an assur-
ance of Your lady loves affection! The
fair one confirms her lovers tOndest
hopes by complaint and al asserting
silence. Should you hear an assertion
which YOU may deem false, made by
some one whose vcracity of politeness
may withhold you from openly declar-
ing your doubt, You denote a differ
ence of opinion by remaining silent.
Are YOU receiving Il reprimand from a
superior? You mark your respect by
an attentive silence. Ale you compell-
ed to listen to the frivolous conversation
of fop? You signify your opinion of
him by treating his loquacity with con-
temptuous silence. Again. how much
domestic strife might have been preven-
ted, how often might the quarrel which
by mutual aggravation has, perhaps,
terminated in blood shed, had it been
checked in the commencement by ju-
dicions silence! Those persons only
who have experienced them are aware
of the beneficial effects of that forbear-
anee, which to the exasperating threat,
the malicious sneer, or the urjustly lnl-
putated culpability, shall never answer
a word. \ soft answer turns away
wrath; but sometimes erring humanity
cannot give this soft answer in mo-
merits of irritation; in such cases, there
stands the fortress Cf silence, with
doors wide open, as refuge tor the
tired spirit until calmer moments come.

sLady," and its corresponding "gen.
tleman," may, because of this adjective
force which inheres in them, appropri-
ately he used as predicates, provided
they stand alone. But for the same reas-
on it is utterly inappropriate to use
them as predicates, or i'll any other form,
aUith an ddjectiUe attached. The rule is
not optional, but one which good sense
and cultivated usage have combined to
fix with iron strictness. The highest
breeding, we know, tends always to ap-
proach the utmost simplicity, both in
manner and in language, and prefers
such wholesome, downright terms as
man, ao0n,an, girl, to any affected substi-
tute. Severe as it may seem, any VIOLA
tion of the rule we have limited at casts
a shade of suspicion on the education
and antecedents of the culprit. When
our neighbor at the hotel-table describes
a guest opposite as ga very intelligent
gentleman" or "a charm ng young lady,"
he does no more it is true than is COM
mon enough among numberless worthy
and amiable people; but he is wrong for
all that. The taste of a sensitive hearer
easily takes offense at such slight mat.
ter, and the sin against style is apt to
create prejudice in regard to more es-
sential things.

calists they are stronger in proportion
and amply provided with muscle. When
at rest they are partially screened by the
false strings; but DR.. Feber, who watch
ed Madame Lucca's throat through his
instrument whilst she was singing, no.
ticed that as soon as tone was struck,
they displayed themselves in their full
breadth and strength. The aid given by
a suitable form of mouth to the produc-
tion OF vocal music is novel and inter-
esting point brought out by DR.. Fieber.
On being admitted to view Of the art
iste's mouth he was at once struck with
the spaciousness and symmetry of its
hollow, the otherwise perfect symmetry
being impaired only by the absence of o
tonsil, which had been removed, as well
as with the vigor with which every tone
produced raised the "saip of the palate.
DR.. Fieber is of opinion that the natural
conformation of her mouth accounts in a
large measure for the wonderful power
Madame Lucca possesses of raising and
dropping her voice alternately. The
sound waves are naturally strengthened
in SO favorably shaped a space, while the
muscles OF the palate appeared to have
acquired exceptional strength and plia-
bility by long practice.

SUPERIOR couRT-GENERAL TERM


Before Judges Tilden, Yaple and

Alexander Starbuck, Administrators of
Francisco and Asa M. Clark. This is a
reservation of motion made by the de-
PENDANTS to confirm the findings and de-
cision of the late Judge Walker as Ref.
cree, and to enter judgment thereon.
The action was one for an account, the
plaintiffs averring that the defendants
we're partners of the deceased from JAN
uary l, 1868, to the time of his death, No
vember 10, 1870, in the publication of the
"Daily and Weekly Times" newspaper
in this city; that each of the defendants
owned one-siXteenth OF the property OF
the firm, including the good will of the
newspaper, and that deceased owned
the balance; that the property had been
sold and partial settlements made be-
tween plaintiffs and defendants; that the
books of the firm were kept by the de-
fendant Clark, and that certain errors
appear therein affecting the accounts of
the individual partners, which alleged
errors are set out in the petition.
The defendants deny this, saying that
they had been given 1-16 each, and were
allowed $40 per week salary, as the books
show, and that their claims of s.. 600 ach
for carrying on the business after the
death OF the proprietor, in November.

A Word to Young Men.

Twenty clerks in store, twenty hands
in printing office, twenty apprentices
in a. shipyard, twenty young men in a
village-all want to get along in the
world and expect to do SO. One Of the
clerks will become partner, and make
fortune; one of the compositors will
own newspaper. and become an influ-
ential citizen; one OF the apprentices
will become master-bIilder; one Of the
young villagers will get a handsome
farm, and 1--we like patriarchAbut
which one is the lucky individuali
Luckyp There is no luck about it. The
thing is almost as certain as the rule OF
three. The young fellow who Will dis
tance his competitors is he who masters
his business, who preserves his intogri-
ty, who lives cleanly and purely, who de-
votes his leisure to the acquisition of
knowledge, who gains friends by deserv-
ing them and who saves spare money.
There are some ways to fortune shorter
than this old, dusty highway; but the
stauncn men Of the community, the men
who achieve something really worth hav-
ing, good fortune, good name, and a Sc
rene old age, all go in this hard, dusty
road.

A Fatal Mistake.

A sad case was heard in the Greenwich
Police Court in London the other day. A
young woman named Florence Helps
was charged with wounding VIM. Mann
in the face with an umbrella. 1t appears
that the prisoner and another young wo.
man while out walking were followed by
a knot of troublesome boys. One of the
party trod on Miss Helps dress and
made offensive remarks TO her. She told
them to go away, but they continued to
modest her and her friend, and at last
Florence Helps made thrust at Mann
with her umbrella. Unfortunately the
umbrella struck him in the face and in
the left eye. He fell down, hitting his
head against the curbstone, and became
insensible. Florence Helps assisted in
raising him and carrying him to the near
est surgery. She gave the medical gen.
tleman his fee, and also paid for the cab
in which the unlucky lad was conveyed
to the Seamews Hospital, Greenwich.
Subsequently she called on the boys pa
rents, and the neXtmorning she went to
the hospital to inquire after him. The
case is, according to medical testimony,
very peculiar, for, although he is likely
to recover from the effects of the wound
made by the umbrella, rupture OF the
brain has supervened on the blow of the
head he caught on falling; he has become
paralyzed on one side, and has lost his
memory. Miss Helps was committed
to Jail toawait her trial, bail being re-
fused.

Taste In Color,

In rooms to be lived in simply white
for color Of walls aud paint, as well as
any extreme dark treatment, should be
avoided. The walls of rooms should be
of such backgrounds as will best suit the
compilations and dresses of the larger
number of people. Delicate white in
tensities, by contrast, any unpleasant
ness or want of perteetion; extreme
dark would make people look white and
CHASTITY. Neutral colors will be found
the best-generally some gray or cool
of cOmpleXions. On no account let an
absolutely pure color be used for general
surfaces. Nature provides no such color
in pigments. Her yelloWs are greenish
or reddish, and so on. Nor does she use
it to any extent in inanimate nature; SO
much SO that you will find that, if you
have much difficulty in describing a
color, you may be certain it is good-the
more difficulty the more beauty. Nature
trusts mainly to graduations Of tone,
using vivid colors in small quantities
only, as in the touches on bright flowers
and butterflies. The teaching of nature
will be found seconded in the pictures OF
the greatest artists, and in following
such teachings it is necessary to con-
slider the object to which in domestic
work, say) the rooms are to be devoted.
A drawing room, it is agreed, should be
once more sober, and with more depth
and warmth, as belts it's uses. You
must also consider the light and shade,
openings and positions of them, for these
may or may not effect for you contrasts
of tone, and may even touch the ques-
ton of the good sense Of your whole
scheme of decoration.

Verify, Mr.. Beecher is most eXtraor-
binary man, and conducts himself, con-
sidering his position before the world
at the present moment, in most extra
ordinary manner. He is now on trial for
one of the worst crimes that can be
charged against clergyman. He is to
be proved either one of the wickedest
hypocrites OF the age OF one of the most
wickedly abused and libelled of men.
And vet, when he should maintain a
dignitied reserve, manly bearing, he is
hobnobbing and joking with his enemy's
counsel, and chattering over the in
cidents of the trial as it progresses like
the most entertained and thoughtless OF
spectators. During the trial of the news
papers Of this deplorable case, last sum-
mer, we held stoutly to the ground that
the evidence produced, after the most
thorough examination and analysis in
no way proved him guilty, but on the
contrary warranted the belief that he
was the victim of foul conspiracy.
And we most heartily wish the present
trial will result in verdict of not guilty.
But we must say that Mr.. Beecher, by
his conduct, repeatedly tries the patience
OF his stoutest friends, and if he did but
know it greatly prejudices his case.-

Don't Stay Long.

"Don't stay long, husband," said a
young wife, tenderly, in my presence,
one evening, as her husband was pre-
pairing to 60 out. The words themselves
were significant, but the look OF melting
fondness with which they were accom-
panied spoke volumes. 1t told all the
vast depths Of a woman's lOve--0f her
grief, when the light Of his smile, the
source of all her joy, bcamed not bright
ly upon her.
'"Don't stay long, husband"-and i
sitting alone, anXiously counting the
moments of her husbands absence, and
every few moments running to the door
to see if he was in sight, and, finding
that he was not, thought l could hear
her eXclaiming in disappointed tones,
"Not yetW
. .Dont stay long, husband"-and l
again thought l could see the young
wife, rocking nervously in the great arm
chair and weeping as though her heart
would break, as her thoughtless "l0rd
and master" prolonged his stay to q
wearisOme length of time.
"Don't stay long, husband"-and the
young wife's look seemed to say-tor
here in your own sweet home is a loving
heart whose music is hushed when you
your head upon, and here are pure lips,
unsoiled by sin, that will pay you with
kisses for coming back soon.
Oh, you that have wives to say "D0n't
stay long" when you 60 forth, think Of
them kindly when you are mingling in
the busy hive Of life, and try, just little,
to make their homes and hearts happy,
for they are gems too seldom replaced.
You can not ind amid the pleasures of
the world the quiet joy that home,
blessed with such a woman's presence,
Will afford.
Husbands, would you bring sunshine
and joy into your homesp Then spend
your leisure hours with your families,
and employ the time in pleasant words
and kind actions, and you will realize in
all richness what is SO beautifully de-
scribed by the poet:
"Domestic happiness. thou only bliss
OF Paradise that has survived the Fall"

The Mystery of the Human Throat.

DR.. Frederick Fieber, ol Vienna, like
the little boy with his drum, not content
with enjoying the melody OF Madam
Pauline Lucca, has made close scrhti-
ny Of the throat whence the sweet sounds
issue, and publishes the result of his in
Vestigations. The mechanical apparatus
faculty, appears, in Madame Lucca's
case, to be Beautifully perfect, the result
to some extent, perhaps of congenital fit
ness, but also doubtless, partly OF the
scientific training to which the artistic
has been subjected in early youth. Ex-
amined under the laryngoscope, 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 70.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Mr.. John p. Jewett, famous at one
time as the publisher of Uncle Toms
Cabin, tells soma Interesting facts con-
nected with the publication of that work.
When Professor and Mrs. Stowe came
to Boston to negotiate about it, Profess
sor Stowe was very conscientious, and
after agreeing to let Jewett publish it,
said he did not believe it right. He was
sure Mr.. Jewett would lose money; none
ell except those who read it in the Era.
or course the publisher said it was his
risk. Then the question came up wheth-
er the copyright should be sold in full or
retained, Mr.. Jewett strongly advising
the latter course. SO the contract was
closed, Professor Stowe remarking, with
dubious smile, II shall be well pleased
if Harriet gets good black silk dress
out of it," Subsequently Professor
Stowe CATER the book began to sell and
was noticed) confessed they dared to
hope that they might really get enough
out OF it to buy little cottage and quar-
ter of an acre of ground.
The financial romance came when the
first payment for copyright was made.
1t consisted of check for $4,000. The
author-then famous, but not realizing
the money value of her fame-with her
uuSUduu, LuO oiuipiO.ihihuOu PhoiOSoOi1
stood looking with dazed surprise ard
perplexity at the little bit Of paper by
which they were informed that the Tre-
mont Bank would pay to Harriet Beecher
Stowe or order the sum of $10,C GOO. At
last, with queer and almost pathetic
simplicity, the professor asked the pub
fisher what he should do with it. Doubt
less that gentleman would now be sur
prised at his own simplicity. 1t was
questionable then whether he had ever
seen check before, and certainly he had
as little knowledge as most women have
of the mode of banking operations.
Mr.. Jewett, fearing they might leasily
be swindled or robbed, went with them
to the bank, having first advised them
to open an account, TO keep but little
money about them, and draw a check
when they wanted any. At the bank the
professor was introduced to the cashier
and then to the directors, board meet
ing being in progress. The gentlemen
were all desirous of meeting Mr.. Stowe.
AS MfaJewett expressed it, the profess
sor sat in every chair in the room during
the few minutes the clerks consumed in
opening an account current. Mrs. Stowe
remained at the publishers office. There
were, of course, pleasant hopes and as
sociatIons in that home and family on
that date. The famous book sold by
million copies. The unaffected, simple
little lady was soon transformed into
the renowned authoress, and "the Beech
err as Mr.. Jewett expresses it, became
from that date the uppermost trait. He
paid in all over $50, COO for the copyright.
