Miss BIAcKNAN's BESEFIT.-The large and
intelligent audience which greeted Miss Mae
Blackman at Carroll Hall, on Wednesday
evening, was iattering compliment to her
as an accomplished reader. Miss Blackman
is not professional, and her first appearance
in public, we believe, was at the Episcopal
Sunday School Chapel last week. On that
occasion so well did she acquit herself, the
citizens, by petition, induced her to give
anotherentertainmenti order that they might
attest their appreciation by giving her ben
eft. Miss Blaekman's selections were ex-
cellent, and her talents to affect either the
humorous, pathetic or sentimental were fully
demonstrated. She has excellent command
of her voice, and her tones and actions we'll
convey the meaning of her words, and beanti
fully disclose the sentiment of the authors.
Should she still further cultivate her talents
and go upon the stage, her success, we pre-
dict, would equal that of many in the same
profession, whose names are now household
words.

of love passed, treat their wives as they

love in the world This, Though they
may muster outside as excellent hus-
bands, never doing anything really bad.
and possessing many good and attract

quietly to break the poor womanly
heart, or harden it into that passive &C

thing than stolid, hopeless indifference.

ing had the disease. With proper care
and attention all might avoid it. An
observance Of these simple rules would
generally ward off the disease.
Avoid exposure to the damp air Of the
early morning and the early evening, ex-
cept when exercising, and then do not
remain in the open air to cool of. Avoid
great fatigue; sleep eight hours out Of
twenty four. Be sure that the water
used for drinking and cooking is per-
fectly pure. Wear flannel undercIoth-
ing at all seasons. Keep the feet warm
and dry.
To cure the fever and ague, take
twelve grains of quinine at one dose.
about an hour befom the chill is en-
peeted. just one week from that hour
take another twelve grains Of quinine.
The disease will seldom return. This
is the dose for an adult. Children
should take smaller doses according to
their age The reason that decided
doses cure fever and ague seems 10 be.
that the disease receives a shock which
breaks is. Small doses Of quinine only
hold it in check during the time the
medicine is being regularly taken; as
soon az IL Il siIanai,sIed tha dssaaea ron,
orally returns. Hence the popular no
ton that 4uinine only feeds the disease.
The fault is not with fhe medicine, but
in the manner of administering it.
While we do not believe in encouraging
the employment of medicine, we are
bound to say that qninine, heroicalIy
administered, has proved the only dead
shot for fever and ague in our practice.

CURIOUS FORGETFULXEss.

Profound thinkers are sometimes so
absorbed by their thoughts as to forget
what is passing around them. The
story is a familiar one of Sir Isaac
Newton, whose frugal dinner was eaten
by hungry visitor, but who thought,
from seeing the empty dishes, that he
had dined Socrates, the famous phil
osopher at Athens, had his moments of
utter oblivion of ordinary life. One
morning, when in camp at Potidaca, he
fell into trance. The soldiers gath
cred around him in large numbers, won
dering at his appearance; but he did
not notice them, nor even the noon.
tide heat of the sun on his bare head.
The evening drew on without any
change in the posture of the philosopher
and great crowd gathered around him,
spreading their pallets for the night to
watch him. Through the cold night he
stood, still lost in thought, and only
when the sun rose again over Mount
Athos did he start from his strange
absorption, and return to the duties Of
the camp. During twenty four hours
he had been wrapped in meditation,
wholly unconscious of the hundreds ol
curious eyes fastened on him.

CLEOPATRA's NEEDLE.

An effort is to be made by the Brit
ish government to transport the famous
Cleopatra's Needle to England. This
rare curiosity is thus described in the
London Times:
1t is fine monolith of red granite,
sixty-four feet in length and seven feet
in diameter. Its weight has been vari-
ously estimated, but the maximum
given is two hundred and eighty-four
tons 1t now lies prostrate and paral-
lei to the sea, at distance of twenty
four feet, on q sandy bank fifteen feet
high, with nothing between it and the
water save ruined sea-wall
The hieroglyphies are in good preser-
walton, and record that the obelisk was
erected at (Heliopolis, near Cairo), by
Shothmes IL, about 1900 B. c., during
whose reign Egypt is recorded to have
"placed its frontiers where it pleased. "
The lateral inscriptions record the same
