He was a long, slim man, with
every appearance of hard times, and a
long nose on his face. He went into
saloon on Main street, Detroit, and
said to the bar-keeper: .ar..

invigorator.
The bar-keeper looked him all over,
looked at his clothes, and answered

fully requite you, when l have par
taken of your refreshments,"- said
the long man, tapping his pocket.
The bar-keeper said he didn't know,
but finally poured out glass of the
liquor. The long slim man grasped
it eagerly, backed up to the stove,
and eyed the contents Of the glass
with critical air.
"They tell me that in one of our
Western cities, divers wicked men
have been engaged in the fraudulent
manufacture of this article. Is it
SOP" F
The bar-keeper said he believed it
was. The long man emptied the
glass, and put it on the counter.
Then he said:
at is passing strange that in an age
when knowledge is disseminated so
freely, that truth and virtue are not
paramount, Instead, ignorance and
vice run riot, and the papers TEEN
with accounts of new rascalities un-
earthed each day."
"There's fifteen cents to nav for
that whiskey," interrupted the bar
keeper ai
"Our country is just entering upon
her existence for another century. 1t

century she may be still further ad-

that glass of whiskey, and then you
can bounce" broke in the bar-keeper,
angrily.
"Peace, my friend" said the lsng
man. "You ask of me that which is
utterly beyond the bounds of posi-
bility."
"Do you mean to say that you
haven't any money!" inquired the bar
keeper, the short hair on the back of
his head standing out horizontally,
''Such, my esteemed friend, is the
'conclusion which you may draw from
my feeble remarks" said the long
man.
The bar. keeper turned back his
cuffs, spit Oh his hands, and bounded
airily over the bar. He grasped the
long man firmly by the scruf' of the
neck, and began waltzing toward the
door, implanting kick after kick in
that portion of the long mans frame
which nature designed to be kicked.
They reached the door safely, and
as the ar-keeper, with a kick of ex.
traordinary dimensions, shot the long
man through it, he sententiously ex-

American gentleman, whom met lately
al dinner party, gave me an amusing
account Of the suferings to which his
politeness toward snaileating party
once exposed him. lie was on visit to
a French family residing in the country
near Bordeaux. His host was in antici-
patton Of visit from some friends who
were extremely fond Of anails, and he
wished to prepare for them a treat in adj
vance. So large number Of sDails we're
procured, and we're plentifuIIy supplied
with fresh vine leaves, while buckets Of
cold water were thrown over them every
day to keep them in clean and healthlul
condition. At last the appointed day, as
well as the expected guests, arrived, the
dinner hour came, and finally the dish of
the occasion was brought in, an immense
tureen full Of snails in their shells. "I
did not dare to refuse to take some, said
my informant, " knowing how very SEN
sitive the provincial French are respect
ing any slight offered to their manners
and customs, etc. / took a few snails on
my plate and looked round at my fellow
guests to see how they were going to dis
pose of the creatures. Each person was
provided with a small, one proEged steel
instrument like a nut-pick, wherewith
they adroitly drew the animals whole out
of their shells and then popped them into
their mouths. initiated the example set
me, and got the snail well out of its shell
and into my mouth without any trouble.
But once I got the horrid creature on
my tongue, found that it would be i'm
possible for me to swallow it. My whole
nature seemed to rise up in revolt against
the Shiny, sickening, unnatural mOrsel,
and l was forced to conceal it in my

Lucy H. Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph,
Large baskets filed with snails are now
to be seen in the windows Of the fruit
erers and the green grocers. The edible
snails of France appear to be Of a pecu-
liar species. They have all shells Of a
pale gray hue, and vary in size from that
ia small English walnut down to that
Of a flbert. The best and most recherche
qualities come from the wine,growing

SCARLET FEVER.

Since none of our common diseases is
more dreaded than scarlet fever, it is i'm
portant to know what can be done to
prevent its diffusion. To this end the
following conditions should be observed:
Let the patient be assigned an upper
chamber freely ventilated, comfortably
warm and reasonably cool. There should
be no carpet on the floor, no curtains
about the bed, and no cushioned or up
holstered chairs or sofas. Use an iron
bedstead, and if possible Rt the bedding
be destroyed by fire as soon as the patient
is so far recovered as to mingle with the
other members of the family. The
handkerchiefs which he has used should
be burned. 1t is better to furnish bits
of old cotton or linen in place of hand
chiefs, that each piece as soon as sOiled
may be removed and destroyed. The
spittOen, or other vessel which receives
the approximations, should contain little
water with carbOlic acid or chloride of
lime. One or the other of these disin-
fectants must be used freely about the
room. An indispensable article for the
comfort of the patient is an earth-clOset.
There are several kinds in use, but as far
as we have observed the simplest and
cheapest is the best. Common garden
soil, perfectly dry, should be used, or
sifted coal ashes. Either of these sub
stances viii readily deodorize the intes-
final discharges. A small quantity of
iron-copperas-if added to the soil or
ashes, viii serve as an excellent disin-
fectant.
Nurses and others who come in con-
tact with the patient should frequently
wash their hands with carbOlic soap.
Clothing taken from the patient, if not
burned, should be allowed to remain in
water containing one of the above
named disinfectants two or three days
before being washed.
These simple suggestions, if followed,
would result in a greatly decreased num-
Der of cases Of scarlet fever; and If
the means proposed were generally
adopted, we believe that in a short time
the disease would beeHectually Stamped
OUT
We are aware that in many families
the course we propose is impracticable.
They have not the room, nor the raeans.
But they can follow some Of our direc-
tions. They can ventilate the siek-roOm
and use disinfectants.
II Is possible that physicians, in treat
ing this disease, neglect, sometimes, an
important part of their duty. They do
not enforce, as they ought, the simple
regulations BY which 30 much may be
done toward destroying the contagion.

Strong Talk of I%mpcaching Grant.

\ Washington special Of April 9th Ia
the Cincinnati Commercial, SAYS Gen.
Babcock had an interview with the pres
idcnt to-day. Two other gentlemen were
present. He denied any connection
whatever with the safe burglary cOnspir-
acy, and entered into Il minute cxplana-
ton on every point. Rumor is wild as
to the effect upon the president, but the
gentlemen present say that he preserved
his ordinary %immOvablc compOsurc, and
expressed no decided opinion. 1t is now
admitted by white house intimatcs that
the president did not order the discon-
tinuance of the suits against the conspir-
ators. They say that he did not write
an order to that effect, %butgavehis views
to Babcock, who then called upon the
attorney general and informed him that
the president thought it would be Gun
necessary to carry this thing any fur
Their" This is an important admission, as
it has been heretofore denied that Grant
interiered in any way.
There is a great deal of talk of the i'm
parchment of the president, both on ac-
count of his alleged connection with the
real estate pool, and his subsequent
knowledge Of Babcock's connection with
the safe burglary, and his failure to do
his plain duty in the premises. II is not
probable that it can he established that
Grant was in the real estate pool, how
ever, and will, Of course, be difficult to
prove that he did have knowledge after
the fact that Babcock was one of the safe
burglary conspirators. Babcock's friends
claim that he was anxious to appear be-
fore the committee, and he states that he
sent a letter asking to be summoned.
The reverse of this appears to be true.
