Old Mr.. Parker's Shave.

Old Mr.. Parker's beard troubled him
1t was week old, and his chin looked
like stubble-feld. He was walking
slowly along Cortlandt street, when his
ear caught the word "Next." 1t came
from basement, and smooth faced
but rather detected looking gentleman
stepped out upon the street. He was
evidently much fatigued and in q de-
pressed state of mind. His overcoat
pockets bulged, and the necks of tonic
bottles protruded, but he was shaved
and fly would have slipped up on his
shining black hair. Mr.. Parker rubbed
his chin and meditated moment; then
he descended the basement steps.
''How do you do, General? G lad to
see you. Take this chair, if you please.
Shave? Yes, see, hair cut, shampoo,
bath afterward James, black the Gen
erals Shoes" Thus said the bald
headed presiding genious to old Mr..
Parker.
Let those shoes alone, James, said
Mr.. Parker, as he climbed into the
chair.
Now, Colonel" said the bald barber,
with shade less effusion, "how'll you
have it cut? ?"
"Cut ?" said old Mr.. Parker, testify;
"I'll not have it cut at all!'
well, Major" quoth the tonsorial
artist, somewhat distantly, you'll have
it shampooed, anyhow"
"And will not have it shampooed,
ANYHOW" snapped old Mr.. Parker.
He of the bald head and the razor
perceptibly cooled. Captain" said
he, shall James be arranging the
bath ~
"Bath?" shouted old Mr.. Parker,
"bath Get out with your bath; don't
want any bath"
Lieutenant, said the shaver, with
freezing politeness, edo you prefer bay
rum?"
RUM yelled old Mr.. Parker, for
he was touched on tender point,
rum! Who hath wounds without
cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
He never finished the conundrum,
but left precipitately; and some people
who saw him standing at the corner of
Church and Cortlandt streets, rubbing
a stubby beard of weeks growth, won
dered what he meant, rs he muttered,
d" 1t was close 'shaver'-New York

OF the artist Turner's strange illness
and death, Walter Thornbury thus
writes Feeling himself to be danger
ously i'll, Turner sent for a well known
doctor from Margate whom he had
previously employed, and in whose
skill he reposed implicit confidence
that he would give all his money if he
could but etwenty once again, watched
the physician face with eager anxiety.
When he was told that death was near,
Go down stairs, he exclaimed; Take
n glass of sherry and then look at me
again. The doctor did as he was
hidden, but he could not alter his
judgment. Turner, however, would
not believe that the awful change was
so nigh. He had no religious hope, 1
am afraid, to cheer him at that hour
On that final day. believe within an
hour of his death-his landlady wheeled
his chair to the window to enable him
to look upon the sunshine, in which he
delighted SO much, mantling the river
and Illuminating the sails of the pass
ing boats. l am told that up TO the
period of his very last illness he would
rise Mt daybreak, with his blanket or
dressing gown thrown carelessly over
him, 60 out upon the railed-in roof to
see the sun rise and to observe the
color flow, flushing back into the pale
morning sky. He died with the winter
morning sun shining upon his face III
he lay in bed. The attendant drew up
the window blind, and the lum' nary
shed its beams upon the dying artist
the sun he had been wont to regard with
such love and veneration."

tn. Local Newspr-

=. c.nzler, one of the oldes.
ana MT respected Of Missouri editors,
mas mas. p pc sea- the following sensible
view Oh tile va 9 of local newspapers IN
sustaining pa.rl, ISM, fostering love OF
our ha'loiiai lnS'i." ;on, and preserving
the people from correction and the des-
potism to which it opeL the wav:
1.-The invention of the Electric tele-
graph and the substitution of the fast
daily mails by railroad for he SLOW
and less frequent lines by stage~oach,
not to mention the multiplication q in
dustries corresponding in ratio with OR
increased population, having largely
localized the country press and aug
mented its usefulness and efficacy.
These powerful agencies have made the
weekly country newspaper the organ
and mouthpiece of the country or dis
trict in which it is published; n reflex
of the opinions and an exponent and de-
fender of the rights and interests of the
people among whom it is specially cir
culated. 1t is theoretically, and ought
to be practically an honest and sleep
less sentinel on the watch tower of
their liberties, and a guardian of their
special interests, industries and activi
ties whatever they may be.
Gas local self-government is essential
not only to the peace and prosperity of
the whole country, but likewise to the
highest happiness and the highest civil
ization of each of its parts, so the local
country press is indispensable to the
proper development and defense of the
interests of the respective communities
which in the aggregate make up the ma
ton. And as the abolition of local gov
erment would result in universal anar
chy and disaster, and in the Inaugural
ton of the iron sway of colossal monop-
olies and centralized despotism, SO the
extinguishment of the country press
would open the foodgates of resistless
torrent from the fountains of population,
wealth and power,
81 am, therefore, firmly persuaded
that the perpetuity of our free institu-
tons in the spirit and form designed by
our ancestors-institutio founded on
the great central truth of equal rights
to all and exclusive privileges to none
depends in no small degree upon the
vigorous existence and fidelity of the
country press"

Stanley and tho Philanthropists

An attempt was made ut the last meet
ing in London of the Royal Geographic
cal Society to induce that body to pass
resolution of censure on Mr.. Henry M
Stanley for his so-called "unjustitiable
method Of dealing with the natives OF
Africa" But the Society refused in a
very practical way to make itself the
tool of the persons who engineer this
clamor. 1t may be remembered that the
grievance against Mr.. Stanley is that on
one occasion when he deemed himself in
danger from the hostile purposes of the
savages he defended himself, and, as his
arms were more effective than those Of
the Africans, they suffered severely. IL
is the opinion of some people in London
that the number of negroes killed on that
occasion 10y the explorer was unneces-
sarily large. This may be true; but, AZ
we have hitherto taken occasion to Oh
serve, Mr.. Stanley was on the spot and
his London critics were not; and the
white man on the spot is the only COM
petent Judge OF the exigencies of such
an occasion. Ii is not to be assumed
that he was more bloody in his acts thar
the occasion required. 1t appears that
the Council of the Geographical Society
judged the case in this light, and was
determined not to be carried out of its
way to cast odium upon traveller who
cannot defend himself Lord Napier, OF
Magadala, Captain Cameron, and somo
others who have made excursions In
Africa, were present and gave counter
ance to this act of justice TO the holder
of one of the Society's gold medals

THE EMPLOYMENT OF TINE The
foundation of all economy is "a wise dis
position of time. Let that be ac-
qnired and true economy in every
thing else will infallibly and speedily
follow; and the most difficult step
toward acquiring it is real and wise
economy of time. Economy has, In
fact, got very bad character with the
great majority Of the people because it
is COMPOUNDED with stinginess; though
in fact they are so far from being con-
nected that stinginess is very deadly
enemy to real economy, while liberality
and generosity must be confined to
words and wishes where economy is not
served.
Still some persons imagine that if
they play the niggard with every cent
and every article of which they can
once obtain possession they are good
economists. A more wretched and com
plete mistake cannot be made. Econo-
my is the right employment Of money
and means, not the boarding or bury
ing of them. To save is very laudable
and desirable, but it is not saving to lay
up certain pieces of coin while we
shiver for the want of fuel or faint for
the want Of the food which those pieces
of coin would purchase; to do SO is to
save it at the expence of that health
and that duration of life which nc
amount Of money can purchase or com
pensate for.

A Pest in Calcutta.

When people read of the plaques OF
flies, says Calcutta paper, of Egypt.
they are sometimes apt to wonder what
sort of flies they were-whether they
were our common and sometimes very
tiresome visitor, the house fly, or
whether they were species of nous
quito, or what. They could not well
have been more tiresome than those lit
tie walking, biting, jumping green
flies that are said to usher in the cold
season in India. OF these Calcutta has
had veritable plague recently.
1t has been scarcely possible to sit at
a table where there was light. These
flies come to flavor the soup, to improve
the tea, or to fill up the inkstand. They
cover book if one attempts to read, or
they settle on peoples spectacles or
Jump into their eyes. If people talk
they have to be careful lest they draw
in more than the needful breath. The
streets have scarcely been better than
the houses, and we have seen some peo-
pie passing lamp posts with handker-
chiefs over their faces. and others try
ing to protect themselves by the vigor-
Gus workings of fan, against which
the insects rattle like peas. TO drive
in an open carriage was like meeting a
hail storm; and in some places Of bust
ness, where pleasure is business, has
been brought to stand. Flies burn
their wings in the lamps of the billiard
room and the dead flies shunt balls that
are gently rolling from delicate carom.
or turn them from the direct line to the
pocket.
Even the skating-rink had to be
closed. At the Corinthian the entrance
hall was literally packed with them, the
walls green with their numbers, and the
floor carpeted with their bodies. AT the
entrance to the buffet they lay in heaps
to the thickness of n hearth-rug under
the gas-lights, and in the house itself
they were a great nuisance

FUNERALS AS DISEASE BREEDERS
There is good reason to believe thai
disease is occasionally disseminated
through the medium of funerals. We
have ut least one fairly authenticated
instance in this country of diptheria
being diffused broadcast through the
crowding incidental, occasionally, to the
last ceremony. In America this ques-
ton is beginning to receive much atten-
ton, and several cases have been re-
ported of late where the transmission of
the disease from the corpse seemed
highly probable The Suffolk District
Medical Society sent out 400 circulars
to medical practitioners with view to
ascertain the opinion of the profession
on the alleged danger of PERMITTING pub
lie funerals of persons who had died
from diptheria. Two hundred and
thirty-nine answers were received; of
these 143 writer's express n belief in the
possible danger of contagion ut such
funerals, seventeen believe that there Is
danger from funerals in the houses of
the dead, but none in churches, twenty
nine fancy that in the present state of
knowledge there is no Justification In
prohibiting public funerals, and eight
record circumstances which occurred in
their own experience conhrmatory of
the proposition that danger may ensue,
but the testimony these latter advance
is not quite satisfactory. The society
after due consideration recommended
that the funerals at the houses of those
who have died of diptheria should be
private, owing to possible exposure to
the poison of the disease. Lancet

hopeless, for it is . bankruptcy of the
heart. - Washington firing.
