GENERAL SHERMAN's retirement
from the whirlpool of fashionable life
in Washington city, has been most
timely, and his example one that it
were well worth following. Sherman
resisted the temptation to go beyond
his means for years, but finally finding
that he had to throw up his commits
sion or do worse, he abandoned the
luxurious and costly capital for st.
Louis and less ostentatious mode of
life. He escaped in time, and doubt
less feels thankful.

EFFECTS or THE SUN ON LUNATIcS.

Ga5ignani cites from the Gazette des Hop
itaur a curious article on this subject DR.. Pom
va, director Of tic runatic asylum at Alessan-
dra Piedmont), having conceived the idea
Tat the solar rays might have some curative
power in diseases of the brain, communicated
his views to Father Secch of Rome, who re-
piled in the following terms: The idea Of
studying the disturbed state Of lunatics In con-
nection with magnetic perturbatons, and
with the colorcd, especially violet eight of the
sun, is of remarkable Importance, and con-
slider it well worth being cultivated" Sucr
light is easily obtained by filtering the solar
rays through glass Of that color. "Violetp
odds Father seeohf, "has something melan-
choly and Oppressive about 1t, which, physio-
logically, causes low draped melancholy in VI
olet garments. Perhaps violet light may calm
the nervous excitement of unfortunate mani
acs." He then, in his letter, advises DIR. Pom
IA to perform his experiments in rooms the
walls Of which are painted of the same color
as the glass panes Of the windows, which
should be as numerous as possible in order
to favor the action Of solar light, SO that it

How TO MEND RUBBER OvERsHoEs. Cut
virgin or native Indiarubber with wet
knife into the thinnest possible slices, and with
shears divide these into threads as fine as fine
yarn. Put a small quantity of the threads
(say one tenth or less of the capacity of the
bottle) into wide mouthed bottle and fill it
three quarters full Of benzine of good quality
perfectly free from oil. The rubber will
swell up almost Immediately, and in few
days, especially if often shaken, assume the
consistency of honey. If it inclines to re-
main in undissolved masses, more benzine
must be added but if too thin and watery,

"Nearly all the young ladies read storics
and nothing else"
So said at attendent in one Of our public
libraries, some months ago. Since then,
have watched tie book takers too, as havSg
had opportunity, and find the femafk only
too true in more libraries than one. Nearly
all young ladies read stories, and too often
stories Of the ground genius. History,
poetry, lives of eminent per ols, science and
art, and even the best works of fiction, arc
all unhscded by the majority of these read
ers.

books, but compared with those who do not,
is not the number small? 1t is nothing new
to write upon, yet there is still room FOR REL

Who will tell them they not only get distort-
cd views Of life aud its aims, but that their
own minds cannot fail to Become weak and

ladies' take them for the fashions and pat

FRED. DOUGLASS AND LINCOLN. "A WASH
lngton letter from a lady correspondent to the
Cleveland Ledger gives this little incident, in
which Fred. Douglass and President Lincoln
figures :" / asked Mr.. Douglass for remin-
iscences OF Abraham Lincoln, subject OF
which never tire Of hearing more. He re-
piled by recalling the evening Of the second
inauguration ball. Mr.. Douglass was not at
the time a resident of Washington, but here
to attend the inaugural ceremonies, and ap-
piled at the door Of entrance with very tight
colored lady, Mrs. -, of Philadelphia,
under his escort. The whpper-snapper at
the door did not know him, and taking him
for the colored attendant of white lady, adj
mitted her promptly, but motioned him back.
AS he was Inclined to demonstrate, the usher
showed him off towards side door and closed
it ON him. He found himself, to his chagrin,
shut out upon the pavement Just then some
one told the oficious usher whom he had
treated so cavalierly and the young man hast
ened to admit him. Almost the first head he
saw looming up above the crowd was Mr.. Lin
colns, and the latter seeing him also, cried
out in his CHEEKY, familiar voice, " Come this
way, Fred. Douglass, come here, want to
see YOU" Then, grasping his hand, he said,
III want to ask you what you thought Of my
speech this afternoon. / saw yoe standing
fu the mud while was talking Mr.. Doug
lass answered, ".Mr. Lincoln, it was an in.
spring hour" Mr.. Douglass then went on
to rehearse to me some of the wonderful ut
terances of that Inauguration speech that had
burned themselves upon his brain. Continu-
ing, he said, "Mr. Lincoln then introduced
myself and Mrs. - to Vice-Presdent John
son at his side. Mr.. johnson scowled, then
presently smoothed his face into civility but
said to Mrs. -, as he walked away. That
man is no friend TO such as you and l."
