OLD AND NEW ROME.

The difference between Rome as the cap
ital of Italy and what it was even six years
ago is apparant in everything. 1t was a
most dirty and neglected city, with new
ner. Now it is bright and clean, and sweet
smelling even in hot. weather. Then even
the London Times was not allowed to circu.
late in the city, and newspapers sent to
strangers had to be examined before they
were delivered. Now there are half a
dozen daily papers published in Rome, and
the newsboy with his shrill cry dispenses
them to anxious purchasers. There are
even two political papers published in Rome,
with political cartoons, which seem to amuse
the people vastly. Yes, the newsboy and
the bootblack, two of the most marked evi-
dences of the progress of civilization and
the growth of liberty, have entered Rome
to stay and practice their calling right on
the steps of the Vatican, and under the
shadow of st. Peters. Six years ago mod
ern Rome was showing evidences of decay
Other ruins, besides those of the Forum
were to be found, as everything was dull
and stagnant, and repairs never thought Of
But the most marked change is in the peo.
pie themselves. The sadness and silence
which then reigned in Rome have disap-
peared. The people sing, shout, and are
merry. There is life and gaiety among
them, and the streets are thronged with
people up to a late hour. This change is SO
marked adm apparent that it would be folly
for any one to dispute it. 1t is also more
prosperous city, and the population has in.
creased one-third in these six years. Since
then Rome has become the capital of Italy.
To that a portion of the improvement is
doubtless due, but the change in the man.
ner and temperament of the people, theil
freedom from restraint, their ringing laugh
and Joyous shouts, all go to show that they
no longer stumble in darkness, but that the
light of freedom has penetrated their hearts
and their lives. 1t has infused more activ.
ity and energy into them, and they can nc
longer be called a lazy and idle race.-Cor
respondence Baltimore Aaaerican.

"Did | ever love any other girl?" re-
peated a prospective bridegroom, in an
swer to fearful inquiry of his intended
"Why no, darling! of course not. Could
you ask such question? You are my first
and only love! This heart knew no waken-
ing until the sunshine of your love streamed
in and awoke it to ecstacy!' And then he
kissed her tenderly and went home, and
said to himself, 81 must hurry those things
out off the way right off, or there'll be- a
row!' and he collected together great pile
of letters, written in all kinds of feminine
hands, with lots of faded flowers and pho
tographs, and locks of hair, and bits of faded
ribbon and other things; and when the
whole collection had been crammed into the
kitchen CRATE he drew deep sigh ard said
to himself: "There goes all that's left of
fourteen undying loves! Let en- ficker!"

The quicknesss of wit, or, as it is eener-
ally called, presence of mind, which is equal
to an emergency, intellectual or practical,
is one of the most valuable qualities, as well
as one least common, with which man
has been endowed. 1t makes all the differ
ence between the deft and blundering-
those on whom one can rely in the hour of
need, and those who are as broken reeds,
piercing the hand which trusts them. 1t is
the quality of the commander the leader,
the explorer, the conqueror; all the posi-
bilities of time and circumstances are in the
power of the man who can make use of
them by the readiness of his wit; the orderly
arrangement of his facultes-and the posi-
bilities of circumstances do not often run
dry.in hands which know how to deal with
them.

DEAD LAwYERs.--We hate to have a
lawyer die. Not that we think any more of
lawyers than we do of any other class of
people, but we know there has got to be
injecting of the bar" and resolutions are
going to he drawn up (they ought to be
drawn up clear out sight, and left there),
and speeches made eulogizing the deceased,
principally by rival attorneys, who hated
him like sin when he was alive, and who
were never, known to say anything good of
him until he was laid away under the sod
Then these resolutions and speeches must
be printed in the daily papers, and the COM
munity discovers when too late, what a jew
Ell they have had among them.-Read5ng

To life at that woman's deed and word;
"Who touches hair of your gray head
Dies like dog March Onr' he said,
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet;
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
on the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the hill gaps sunset light
Shone over it with warm good night.
Barbara Frietch HES work is DER.
And the rebel rides ON his raids no more.
Honor to her! And let tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier.
Over Barbara Frietchie's grave,
Flag of freedom and union wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below Frederick town!

HoT WEATHER PRECAUTIoNs.-The New
York Herald, Of the 18th inst, has the fol-
lowing appropriate suggestions regarding
the severe weather we are doubtless about
to experience:
"People, therefore, who would guard their
lives against the effects of day of exces-
sive heat must begin far off if they propose
to protect themselves radically; but if a
man is conscious of shattered nerves and a
system beyond remedy in that respect he
must be particular only to keep out of the
fight. He must keep quiet and in the shade,
and venture no eXcesses of drink or diet.
lie must make those days his holidays.
sit would not be bad for such person to
act as if one of the medical theories where
a known fact. 1t is the view of this theory
that sunstroke is only more sudden and
formidable attack of the same nature as
that which in its milder form is called ma
larious fever. Against such an access he
might legitimately defend himself with his
daily reasonable dose of quinine.''
Where quinne is found to be too expen
sive, some of the other and similarly effec-
tive principles of the Peruvian barks may
be used, among which may be mentioned
cinchonidia, quinidia and cinchonia.
Sulphate of cinchonidia, an article costing
not more than third or one fourth the
price of quinia. has within the last two OF
three years, been largely used in place of it,
and in about the same dose.

The tonsoral artist was staggered for an

that he was the agent for ''the new patent

An exchange says: An editor is described
as man who is liable to errors in gram
mar, toothache, typographical errors and
lapses of memory, and has several thousand
people watching to catch him tripping-a
man of sorrow and acquainted with grief,
poorly clad, poorly estimated, yet envied by
some of the great men he has made.

The Bible as book stands alone. There
never was nor never will be another like it.
As there is but one sun to enlighten the

TAKE CARE OF THE NECK.

Why? Here, just inside, are the vocal
cords, more wonderful in variety and range
of tones than any musical instrument, and
of more delicate construction than a watch.
Here are those membranes the inflamma-
ton of which is SO often the beginping of
consumption. On these same membranes
diphtheria, that most fearful of scourges,
first fastens. Here is the seat of quinsy,
with its fierce pains and sense of suffoca-
ton. Here begins bronchitis with it's hard
cough, often extending through scores of
years; and pneumonia, which may in few
days do up it's work of death.
In the immediate vicinity is the ear, liza
BILE to excrucating pains and abscesses, and
to the loss of hearing. Here are crowded
all the arteries which supply the brains with
blood, and the veins which bear away the
effete matter. Adjacent are the nerves and
ganglia on which depend the movement of
the muscles and the actions of the senses.
How to protect the neck?
1. Don't let it be exposed to cold wind
oloWlng steadily on one side OF it,
2. Keep the mouth shut in going from a
heated room into the night air, especially
after singing or speaking in public.
3. Wear a scarf throughout the cold
season, thick or thin, according to the
weather.
4. If nature has furnished you with a
beard, don't shave it off, especially in win.
ter. 1t is one of the best projections against
cold one can have. Besides, as all hail
is hollow, to shave is to especially expose
the network of nerves and blood vessels
near it's root.
5. The fashion now is to trim your hair
short behind. This leaves your neck un-
protected. Neither the beard nor the hair
were given simply to be cut Off

=, DANIEL PRATT THE GREAT AMERICAN
TRAyELLER' IN JAIL.-A telegram from Bos-
ton, July %, says: Daniel Pratt, better known
as the Great American Traveller. visited
Revere beach on Sunday to spend the Sabbath,
enjoy the cooling breezes, and, perhaps, the
delicious clam bakeS OF that famed resort.
While there Daniel espied pocketbook, which,
upon examination, proved to contain $50 in
money. Now, instead of trying to ascertain
the owner thereof, and return the wallet and
its contents to his or her anxious hands, Daniel
removed the money, placed it in his pocket,
and then flung the wallet into the surf. But,
alas for human hopes! he was observed, and
the fact reported at Headquarters: Yesterday
he was arrested, and now languiSheS in jaH
The pocketbOOk which is said to have tempted
Daniel, and made all the trouble, belonged to
Charles E. Jones, of fSwampscOtt. Benz. Gould
saw the larcenous act, and Mrs. E. R: Nudge
found the pOcketbOOk and returned it to the
owner. Yesterday afternoon the incarcerated
orator owned up to Officers Smith and Knox,
by whom he was arrested, that he found the
wallet and that his first thought was to adver;
to use 81 OF it. After this confession Officer
No0nan went with Daniel to the basement of
81 PembertOn square, where the remaining
money $53, was found concealed behind gas
pipe. Pratt will be taken to Lynn, where his
case will be attended to-

GLADsTONE's ARRAIGNMENT OF THE BRIT
ISL MINISTKY.-The debate in the English
House of Commons on Lord HartingtOn's
resolution condemning the Beaconsfield policy
was continued last night when Mr.. Gladstone
read a letter he has addressed to Lord Bea
cOnsfeld, asking him to cite instances in sup
port of the unjustitiable and reckless attack
made upon him in his Carlton club speech.
Mr.. Gladstone said the partition of Turkey
was equal to that of Poland, and the conclu-
sion Of the Anglo. Russian agreement was
practical contradiction of the highsounding
pretenslonS of Lord SaliSburyS note, as by it
England had surrendered her power of action
in the cause Of freedom and allowed the selfish
gard to Greece. Mr. Gladstone contended
that the government, by ratifying the conven-
tion before Parliament had been made
acquainted with it, had pushed the powers of
the crown to an extreme which had been
avoided by the greatest statesmen with whom
he had been associated for the last half Gen.
tury. This startling novelty set at naught the
law of Europe, was unjust to the other
powers, oyerrode, the rights of Parliament,
and laid new burdens upon the people. Mr..
Gladstone spoke two hours and half, and
was greeted with loud cheers as he took his
