MISCELLANY
rs IT SAFE TO DRINK HARD w4rEH,

There is popular prejudice that hard
water is dangerous to the health, and on that
account we are constantly warned by physiei-
ans to beware of it but in England one of
the leading authorities on this subject, DR..
Letheby, after d. voting many years to an in
vcstigation into the properties of the water
introduced into English cities, and to study
of the sanitary reports on the subject, comes
to the conclusion that moderately hard water
is safer and more healthful than soft water.
Hard water is not only clearer, colder, more
free from air, and consequently more agreea-
BILE to the eye and to the taste than soft water,
but is less likely to absorb organic substances,
to sustain the life of zymotic organisms, Or to
exert solvent properties upon salts of iron or
upon leaden conducting pipes. The lime
salts exert beneficial influence upon the
animal economy and even protect the system
from dangerous outward influences Doctor
Wilson, of Edinburgh, has also collected much
valuable material on the subject, and comes
to the same conclusion as DR.. Letheby. He
takes the ground that the human body re-
quires for its nourisbment and support sup

obtain phosphate of lime in our animal and

contained in adequate quantity IN our solid

in mountainous districts, where the water is
more or less hard the inhabitants exhibit the
best physical development. On the other
hand, it is believed that in large cities the

DEFERRED ITEMS.


THE WAGES QUEsTIoN.-An exchange
says :
The wages Of labor now paid have been
compared with those paid in 1860 by the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, and the result
stated is that in all the important departments
Of service except railroads there is an advance
still retained Of from forty to sixty-five per
cent, and the average advance for all classes
covered by the investigation is still fifty-two
per cent. The general average of the advance
is on railroads IS per cent in cotton factor
les 80 per cent. ; wooden mills 65 per cent. in
paper mills So per cent. button factories 55
per cent. segar makers 80 per cent. ; whip
factories Al per cent. iron and woodenware
works "a per cent domestic service 65 per
cent. day labor 40 per cent.
These figures are incorrect. The wages of
laborers on the railroad are now ninety cents
day. Is it pretended that this is IS per cent
more than they received before the war ? 1t
is considerably less than they received then.
The statement in regarded to some other
classes of laborers is also as much out of the
way. But even supposing that the above
statement were true, are there no other facts
that enter into the question? Is it not prop
er to consider the fact that the cost of every
thing that the laborer buys has increased since
1860 from so to 200 per cent. Wages is gen.
orally the last thing to go up, and the first to
go down. When the price of the articles
which the working class buy shall have been
reduced to the prices of 1860, wages may just
ly follow suit but not before. We are firmly
persuaded that wages are not now generally
too high. We have looked into the subject
somewhat, and our observations convince us
that wages are proportionately lower than
they were in 1860. Our laboring men now
have less comforts find it harder to make
both ends meet, and are disturbed with more
cares and anxieties than before the war The
main difficulty seems to be that the capitalists
became demoralzed by immense profits dur
ing the war, and finding that they cannot now
realize them in any other way, seek to do so
by cutting down the wages of workingmen to
starvation rates. This is unjust and unwise

Mrs. TiItun Putting Eyarts up to Things.

Mrs. Titon is by no means so in
dinerent to the proceedings as she was
at first. For the last three or four DAYS
Beecher has taken no notice OF her, and
she sits all day with her head bent, star.
ing vaguely at the carpet. To be sure,
she has disgusted all neutral observers
by the frequency with which she writes
little notes, each suggesting point
wherewith her husband shall be plagued
by his cross-examiner. Nor, am sorry
to notice, does Evarts disregard these
petty c0njugal treasons, but over and
over again depends upon her prompting
for the confounding and bewilderment
of the witness. 1t is much more, and a
great deal more, detestable--so several
of us teel--that she thus arrays conf.
dences, even q blighted wedlock, against

tably ruined than Ii she were to boldly

sake of retaining her. must confess
that l can not compute, by any standard
10 which l may refer, the depth and
breadth of the infatuation which drives
that shrinking little woman to the mur-
der of her husband. Five hundred

ence, she,would have poisoned the one

is dowdy little creature, stared at in

Mrs. Frank Moulton has made up her
mind not to evade the witness stand, as
she might have done by leaving the Stat.
for her summer residence at Mar agan-
sett. She is not, however, an ardent
witness, and is a sweet-tempered moth
erly little lady, somewhat like her hus-
band in enjoyment of life and charita-
BILE consideration for the imperfections
of human nature. Her testimony is ex-
pected to relate to conversations with
Mr.. Beecher, in which he admitted his
culpability and solicited her good office.
Mrs. Moulton was a friend of Mr.. Til
toms wife, but there never was the inti-
macy of choice. Mrs. Moulton attended
Plymouth church, but shared none OF
the religious rapture Of Mrs. Tilton.
The one was buoyant, the other ecstatic.
Worship and religion were Mrs. Tiltoms
passion. Mrs. Moulton admired Mr..
Beecher. and heard him preach with in
terest. For some time she announced
her determination not to testify, but af-
ter Mr.. Beecher denounced Mr.. Moulton
as blackmailer, and his whole status
was involved in his yindication, she
made up her mind to testify. During
this trial her house has been sort OF
campus martius for the rendezvous OF
Tilton's levees, but she has had little
to say on the subject in hand, merely
fulfilling her duties as hostess.
