Father and Son.

The Springfield (Mass.) Union says
There are two regular patrons of tho
police station in this city, father and
SOD, Of whom the Union thus speaks
When the old gentlemen gets into limbo
he son appears and proceeds to read
him long lecture on the sin of drink
ing and it's attendant evils, usually wind
ing up with-"It'sgood enough for you.
I have done all that a son could do to
make you live properly, and you have
no one to blame but yourself. Money
is raised to pay the old mans fine, and
then the son takes his turn at getting
drunk and smashing things. Straight
way the father appears at the station
house, and, with a hn..e- expression on
his oou.f.onance, plamtiyely inouirea /.
Is it the example which / la<,o set you
and am to be thus repaid for all my
watchful care and tenderness ?" The
family pay the sons fine, and then it is
the old mans turn. The worst part of
the affair is that the father and son have
been lecturing each other in this way for
about nine years, and neither of them
seems to have the slightest idea of the
extreme righteousness which their con-
tinued exhortations have attained.

Dinhtharia.

From all parts of the country we hear
of the ravages of diphtheria. In some
cases whole families have fallen victims
to this dread disease. 1t is important
that all persons. especially parents,
should understand what are the first
symptoms, and take prompt and efficient
measures Of relief. An attack of diph-
liberia usually commences with high
fever and headache, and in children
with nausea and vomiting. There is
great prostration. Upon the tonsils and
surrounding parts are seen white, snow
flaky patches. In malignant cases the
patches are often yellow or brownish,
and fetid odor is perceived. A good
physician should be Immediately sum-
moned when these symptoms are no.
ticed. Chlorate Of potash gargles and
pounded ice are useful until he arrives.
Many physicians have found successful
remedy in the use of permanganate Of
potash in connection with the tincture of
belladOnna.

The Wealth of the ROthSohildS,

It is stated by an eminent foreign
publicist that the wealth of the Roths-
childs has reached the enormous sum of
SO, 400, 600, 900. In mentioning this fact,
the London Times says The signifi-
canoe of these stupendous figures may
be rudely conceived by comparison, but
there is nothing in the history of private
wealth with which they can be COM
pared. The capital of the Barings, the
estates of Lord Dudley, the Marquis of
Butte, and the head Of the family of
Grosvenor belong relatively to a
humble category, to which the city of
New York has contributed the fortunes
of Astor, Vanderbilt, and Stewart. The
financial resources attributed to the
Rothschilds can best be measured by
contrasting them with the funded debts
of the richest countries on the globe. 1t
will then be found that the capital of
this house, as estimated by M. Burnouf,
is about equal to the whole funded debt
of Great Britain or that of France, and
considerably exceeds the national debt
of the United States.

Poisoned Goods.

According to report by Professor
Gintl, it appears that the public is ex'
posed to new source of poisoning from
the use of arsenical glycerine and the
arseniate of alumnia as mordants. he
states that these substances are now
coming largely into use, especially
among the English and Alsatian manu-
facturers of cotton printed goods, as
substitutes for albumen, which is much
more expensive, some substances being
required to fix especially the aniline
colors, which are now so much in de-
mand. Such goods have recently been
sold in Austria, and especially in Prague,
containing, accordingto Professor Gintl.
as much as fifteen to twenty five grains
of arsenious acid, in the form of arseni-
ate of alumnia, to the yard and this is
by no means an insoluble salt, but one
more poisonous than the much abused
green arsenic colors. The more sus-
picious fabrics are stated to be those OF
violet ground, with white figures,
and those printed in brownish yellow
or reddish brown designs, and which
are sold at low prices.

Book Learning.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has writ
ten letter to the Quincy Patriot OIL
the subject of the education derived
from the reading of miscellaneous books.
Mr.. Adams, who is one of the trustees
of the public library of the town, says
that four. fifths of the book education we
have is acquired from miscellaneous
reading. Schools and school teacbsfs
have nothing to TO with it but is1is
home acquired. He considers the rSad-
ing of books in itself. the poor mans
university. In referring to circulating
and public libraries, and the kind Of
literature in most demand, he says that
"three- -fourths of the demand is always
for the most vapid and sensational
book" In closing his letter, lie says =:
Most assuredly, parents ought not to
turn their children loose in any library.
In our library there'is now no excuse
for their so doing. Before the cata-
logue was published they might have
excused themselves on the ground that
they had no means of selection and the
catalogue was prepared with that very
consideration in view. It was intended
to lay open to any person sitting in his
own house the whole contents of the
library, for his own use and that of his
family it is in fact put at the disposal
of every resident of Quincy an almost
complete collection of the standard
works in the nguage, for all practical
purposes, just as much at his disposal
as if he owned them. 1t put the library
into the dwelling houses. Under these
circumstances, it was hoped that great
improvement would be noticed in the
character of the books called for. How
far the hope has been justified cannot
now say, but there is certainly yet great
room for Improvement. The great ma
jority of the books borrowed are bor-
rowed by yonng people, and still, ap-
parently. unassisted in their choice by
any one. ! am very confident that a
competent trustee, who could give his
whole time to the library. and do moth
ing but examine and purchase new
books, and advise those who come there,
the young, what to read and
how to read it, could be much more for
the higher education of Quincy than is
done through the whole agency of our
high school nor in saying this do
mean to say anything d.rogatory to the
high school either. This we cannot ex-
pect. We ought, however, to be fairly
able toexpect now that parents and those
engaged themselves in the work of edu-
cation should realize what a large part
in the work miscellaneous reading plays,
andso try to give some direction to it,"

The O. A. u.

George B. Weeks, president, says the
following are the objects and purposes
of the Order of the American Union,
about which the papers have had SO
much tosay of late
I've accept the Bible as the basis of
all moral, religious, governmental, and
educational undertakings.
2.-We yield an unhesitating support
to the constitution and government of
the United States and of the several
States.
3.-We urge that the present system
of our general unsectarian free school
organization shall be maintained invio-
late.
Ave claim that no part of the public
funds shall ever be used for the support
or maintenance of any sectarian school
or institution whatever.
5.-We are opposed to any interfer-
ence in political affairs by any man or
body of men acting in behalf or by di-
rection of any ecclesiastical body or pow
er vet we make no war upon any man 8
religious creed.
The ways and means of conducting
our business matters, the methods by
which we propose to secure the desired
results, are peculiarly our own, and we
intend 10 keep them to ourselves. Third
term or one term, Democracy or Repub-
lican, hard money or soft money,
crooked whisky or straight, are
entirely outside of our aims and plans,
and receive no attention whatever.
To sustain and advance the ideas above
summarized, We propose to use all law
full and suitabl measures at all times
that to us seem to be propitious, with all
persons who labor for triumph, against
all their agencies which seek their over
throw and destruction. As in the past,
SO for the future, we invite and expect
to receive the cooperation and aid of
thousands of sturdy, stalwart, patriotic,
thoughtful men, who love their country
with m ardor surprising that of party,
sect, or clan.

A London Trick.

The ltest dodge in London, where
the water supply is not yet permanent,
is the following A scamp enters a
dwelling house toward noon, and scares
the females by announcing that the main
has burst, and that he is sent by the
water company to see that all water is
Immediately drawn from the cisterns.
Every available tub, pail and utensil is
Immediately reQuisitioned, for the fel-
low tells them that they will not have a
drop of water for the next forty-eight
hours. While. the servants are busy
fulfilling his orders he pockets every
valuable within his reach, and finally
vanishes, after ordering all fires in the
house to be put out.

Prices of Grain.

Professor Jevons recently read an in
teresting paper on the influence of the
sun-spot period upon the price of grain.
In making a comparison between two
phenomena apparently SO distinct from
each other, Professor Jevons has made
use of the collection of prices Of COM
modities in England between the years
1859 and 14O0, as published in Professor
Rodgers "History of Agriculture and
Prices in England" He finds that the
prices of each kind of produce rise dur
ing the first four of the eleven-year sun
spot period, and then fall. The maxi
mum prices occur in the tenth, eleventh,
first, second and third years.

! You can imagine the CONSERVATION O
the unfortunate fellows, who had indee,
fallen from Scylla into Charybdis. Il
vain did the unhappy Hastings protes
against the injustice Of the proceeding
stating that notwithstanding the wount
he had received, which was one of tn,
points on which special stress was laii
by his aocusers, despite the suspicioul
appearance which he and his compan
ions by this time necessarily presented,
he had the honor OF wearing his ma
lesty's uniform and serving his country
as truly and faithfully as any man On
board. To each OF these asseverationa
the only answer he received was "You
lie, sir !" until, half frantic with indig.
nation and despair, he and his CON-
panions were sent back into irons till
their senteuce could conveniently be
carried into effect.
The first lieutenant, who was the only
soul in that great ship who evinced the
smallest compassion towards them,
luckily happened to pay the unfortunate
prisoners visit in the course of the day,
with view to their safe custody.
Though strictly against orders, he could
not refrain from speaking to young
Hastings, who had q bright, attractive
face, and asking him how on earth he
found himself dams cette galere. BY
dint of cross-questioning in the cou,se
of conversation it came out that not only
had the families of Hastings and Ash
burtons-the name of the first lieutenant
been connected in olden times, but
that actually Hastings mother had in
terested herself in obtaining for this
same Ashburton his commission in the
royal navy! There was no doubt that
Mr.. Hastings was bona .f1e the person
he represented himself to be so Ash
burton went to the captain and terrified
the old sea bear into granting reprieve,
solely against his will, until the arrival
of the Invincible in port. Accordingly
when the man-of-war anchored off Spit
head, Hastings obtained permission to
be confronted with the officers of his own
ship, the Hornet, them opportunely
stationed at Plymouth, and in addition
his father and other relatives hurried to
The spot, SO that there was no lack of
evidence sufficient to satisfy the crusty
old captain that for once in his life he
nad jumped rather too hastily to conclu-
'ions. His conduct was moreover Sc
7erely censured by the admiralty. Gin

long friendship with him, on various
topics of general interest. Grant vehe-
mently opposed the reduction of the
army, and said that even il the Senate
