MatrimOny and American Girls in Ger.
many.

Another curse which follows the American
girl is the suspicion that she is always rich,
and the very fact that she is able to come to
Europe confirms the idea. There are always
adventures in search of fortunes, but the late
FrancO-P -Prussian war has quadrupled this
class of people in Germany. Prussia, par
ticularly, has always been poor, but her gra-
ded classes of nobility have always managed
to live in comfort on their pittances. The
spec1lations following so quickly in the foot
steps of the war advanced every article OF
commerce to such an enormous price that the
proud noble, with his very small income and
his very great pride, found himself on the
verge of starvation, while his less scrupulous
burgher neighbor rolled in wealth and lux
ury. Many still contrive to live with an econ
omy that would startle poor American,
while others have turned themselves loose on
society with the firm conviction that their po-
sition and title are sufficient recompense for
wife and her fortune. Unhappily there are
too many girls here among the burghers and
elsewhere who are of the same opinion, but
our American girl will at times be taken in
preference. because she having no title is ac-
cepted as matter of course, but German
wife without one is always spoken of, if not
with disrespect, at least in a tone that con-
veys the feeling of inequality. Barons and
counts are as thick, therefore, now as impor
tations in election times in America, and all
girl has to do, if she is anxious to have a
title, is to make an exhibit of her income and
take her choice from prince down, accord
ing to the price she is able to pay. The
American girls who have married officers
here, and Cincinnati furnishes her quota,
have capital good husbands, and domestic
lite is hundred times easier for the woman
than at home Servants are better trained and
cheaper, and an officer, according to his rank,
is entitled to one "Bursche," who are the
faithful factotems of the house, and do more
work than half dozen girls. There is, too,
a bond of union through the army, and their
affection and protection of each other are
really beautiful and touching. But after all,
girls, my advice is, come over here with your
mother or some trusty friend. see and enjoy
to your hearts content all that is antique and
grand and beautiful study and learn all you
possibly can, then 60 home and marry good,
honest American Corr. Cincinnati Enquirer.

LOVES SURRENDER.
BY BERTIE TA YLOR, AGED IL YEAR:

BY BERTIE tt YLOR, AGED IL YEARS.
Under my window, under my window,
All IN the midsummer weather,
Three little girls with futtering curls
Fit 20 and rO together;
There's Mary with her bonnet Of satin sheen,
And Emma with her mantle of slver-green,
And Kate with her scarlet feather.
Under my widow, under my window,
Leaning stealthily over,
Merry and clear the voice hear
OF each glad-hearted rover.
All! sly little Kate, she steals my roses;
And Emma and May twine wreaths and posies,
As merry as bees in clover.
Under my window, under my window,
In the blue midsummer weather,
Stealing slow ON ..ush'd tip-toe,
| catch them altogether:
Mary with bonnet of satn-sheen,
And Emma with her mantle of satin-green,
And Kate with her scarlet feather.
Under my window, under my window,
And off through the orchard closes;
While Emma she fiOuts, and Mary she pouts,
They scamper and drop their pOsies;
But dear little Kate takes naught amiss,
And leaps in my arms with lovins kiss,
And give her all my roses.

Alleged Cure for HydrOphObla.

[From the Philadelphia Timesl
A correspondent writes that for thirty
years past farmer named Fry, residing near
Allentown, Pa, has treated hydrophebia with
unvarying success by the following simple
method
The patient is to be kept free from excite
ment of every sort, especially from that
caused by the visits of sympathizing friends.
The medicine is to be prepared by taking
one ounce of elecans pane root, powdered
one tablespoonful of madden, and one quart
new milk, and boiling them all together
duced to pint. The dose is one wineglass-
full once a day for three days; then intermit
three days; then repeat, and intermit again,
and again repeat; that is, nine wineglass-
fuls are taken in all, and there are three in
termissions. .-. -s...s r..~.... ...., ..-..... :,
In support of the efficacy of this treatment
it is stated that thirty years ago Mr.. Reed
and DaEiel Mershon were bitten at German
town by rabid dog; that Mr.. Reed was
treated by an eminent physician, and died of
hydrophobis. while Mershon, under Fry's
treatment, never auffered at all. A young
man named Jacoby and daughter-in-law of
John Boyer, at the corner of Mill street and
Chelten avenue, under similar treatment re-
covered from the dreadful disease about
twenty years ago. and in 1853 policeman.
so far gone with hydrophobia as to be held
in the carriage in which he was driven through
Germantown to Mr.. Fry's residence, was
also treated with entire success. A number
of additional cases are quoted, in all of which
the remedy described is claimed to have ef-
fected complete cures.

Prof. Politzer recently put before the Med
ical Society of the Vienna Garrison some
new proofs of the use of both ears in deter
mining the direction of sound. People who
are deaf in one ear make strange mistakes
when out hunting, as they are apt to suppose
that any sound comes from the direction to-
ward which the ear they hear with may hap
pen to be turned. A neat little experiment,
easily tried, was devised by Prof. Politzer.
Above the top of the head of a person
whose eyes are bandaged watch, ticking
loudly, is to be passed. The blindfolded per-
son will be unable to say certainly whether
the watch is above, before, or behind the top
of his head. When one of his ears is closed,
the watch seems to be nearest TO the other
ear, and this impression will still be percep-
tible even thoug gh the bandage be removed
from his eyes. The source of sound is in
general referred TO point on the right or
eft, according as either ear hears most loudly.

Washington.

The following are some OF the rules that
George Washington, at the age of thirteen,
wrote out probably for his own adoption:
Every action in company ought to be with
some sign of respect to those present.
Be no tlatterer, neither play with any one
who delights not to be played with.
Read no letters, books or papers in COM
pany.
Come not near the books or papers of an
other, as if to read them.
Look not over another when he is writing
letter.
Let your countenence be cheerful, but in
serious matters be grave.
Show not yourself glad at another's misfor-
tune.
Let your discourse on matters of business
be short. ....
1t is good manners to let others speak first
Strive not with your superiors in argument,
but be modest
When man does all he can, do not blame
him, though he succeeds not we'll.
Take admoniti0ns thankfully.
Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the
injury of another.
In your dress be modest, and consult your
condition.
Play not the peacock, looking vainly at
yourself.
1t is better to be alone than in bad CON-
pany.
Let your conversation be without malice or
envy. ...
Urge not your friend to disclose secret.

opeak not injurious words either in jest or
earnest.
When You speak of God let it ever be with
reverence. -.

A New sort Of Matrimonial Advertise.
Here ie q translation of matrimonial ad-
vertisement that recently appeared in the Is
rGelste of Mayence: II would like to marry
my daughter, who is educated, domesticated
and comely, to an energetic business man of

plicants. Anonymous letters will receive no
attention This is decidedly fresh. In
America we are accustomed to young men
advertising for wives, or young women for
husbands but we have yet to learn of pa
rents advertising their daughters for sale just
like any other commodity. Mayence has
therefore taught US new idea which may
commend itself to fathers who despair of
winning sons-in-laws by any old-fashioned
means.-7he .Jeaotsh Messenger. s. ....

THERE is a tradition that the Gar will not
live to see his sixtieth birthday. His fifty
ninth was celebrated the other day. The
Emperor Nicholas died four months after
attaining his 1ifty-ninth birthday, and the
present Emperor's sister, who died last year
aged fifty-seven, told her brother on her
death bed that she expected to meet him
within two years.

walker can 90 five miles an hour with
ease 10 himself aud his rider, and, gen.
orally speaking, when horse walks off
at this rate gracefully and safely, with
out making any trips, he will be found
to move well in his trot, and gallop
well, too. There is wonderful differ
ence in horses. Some move so springy,
and change their PAGES SO easily, that il
is like sitting in rocking chair, while
Others are so rough in their trot that 1t
shakes man so as to injure the watch
that be carries, and in galloping, some
will do that pace SO harshly that it is
really unpleasant riding. For a man
who travels good deal on horseback,
and who likes to- take every ything as
easily as.possible, the walk and the
canter are the most suitable PAGES, for
of all riding, the slow gallop called the
cauter is the easiest, and also the safest.

In England, where riding on horse
back is so universal, the horses are train-

Old farmers. it is tire, will be seen TO

In the Southern States the amble (or

-Decaying vegetable matter about
the houses, around the walls. and in
the cellar, are prolific causes of disease
in the farm house. Ill treatment of
cows. getting them excited and then
feeding the milk to children, is a prac-
iice liable to be attended with fatal re-
sults. Bad ventilation. attended with
impure air, causes catarrhal and skin
diseases of our animals, especially when
obliged to breath the impurities of de-
caying manure. Better ventilation of
sleeping rooms is urged and more out
