ANECDOTE OF LISZT.

A young pianist was giving con.
certs through the provinces of Germany
| for her support, and to enhance hel
reputation she advertised herself as q
pupil OF Liszt. In little town in the
interior of Germany, where she had
announced the concert, she was con.
founded the day before the concert was
to take place by seeing in tho list OF ar
rivals, and at the very hotel where the
concert was TO be given, "NI. Liable
Llszt." Here was dilemma, and
what to do She knew not. Her fraud
would be discovered she would be OK
posed she could never give another
concert ; she was ruined. Trembling
ly she sought the presence of the great
maestro, determined to make a clean
breast of it, and cast herself on his
mercy. Coming into his room with
dOwncast eyes, she kneIt ut the old
mans feet, and with many tears told
her story-how she had been left an
orphan and poor, with only her one
gift of music with which to support
herself, the difficulties she had encoun-
tered, until the fraudulent use OF his
great name had filled her rooms and
her purse. "Well, wcll," said the
great man, gently raising her up, "Iet
us see, my child, what we can do. Per-
haps 1T is not SO bad as you thought.
There is piano let me hear one Of
the pieces you expect to play to-mor-
row evening"" Tremblingly she obey
ed, the maestro making comments and
suggestions as she played, and when
she had finished, he added, "Now, my
child, 1 have given you lesson; you
are pupil OF Liszt." Before she
could find words to express her graft
tude, List asked, "Arc your pro-
grammes printed" "No, SIR" was
the answer, "not YETI stThcn say
that you will be assisted by your mas
ter, and that the last piece on tho pro-
gramme will be played by the Able
Liszt.' That concert, it may be read
lily believed, was great success.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is
greater transgression of the laws of
wOman's nature, q greater injury to
her physical and mental situation,
than poverty and neglect. The slave
woman at her task will live and grow
old, and will sec two or three genera
tions Of her mistresses fade and pass
away. The ewasherwoman, with scarce
a ray of hope to cheer her in her toll,
will live to see her fashionable sisters
die all around her. The kitchen maid
is hearty and strong, while her lady
has to be nursed like a sick baby.
1t is sad truth that the fashion-tam-
pered women are almost worthless
for all the ends of human life. They
They have still less power of moral
will, and quite rs little of physical
energy. They live for no great pur-
pose in life; they accomplish no worthy
ends. They are only doll-iorms in the
hands of miIliners and servants, to be
dressed and fed to order. They dress
nobody and they save nobody. They
write no books; they set no rich ex-
ample of virtue and of womanly life.
If they rear children, servants and
nurses do all, save to give them
birth. And when reared what are
they? What do they ever amount to
but. weak scions of the old stock? Who
ever heard of a fashionable woman's
child exhibiting any virtue or power
of mind for which it became eminent :
Read the biographies of our great and
good men and women. Not one OF
them had n fashionable mother. They
nearly all sprung from strong minded
l~<,x = IsAA1
with fashion as with the changing

TO ANDREW JOHNSON.
IChicago Inter-Ocean.

CChicago 1nter-Ocean.
The monument is twenty-six feet in
height. Its base of granite, with a
plinth die, is nine feet six inches
square at the ground. Grauite piers
rest ON each of the graves (that Of Mrs.
johnson and the ex-President) lying
side by side, over which is sprung a
granite arch, and upon this the monu-
ment rests, leaving an open space un-
der tho the arch in which the graves
are visible. The arch and base are
four feet six inches high to the bottom
of the marble plinth. The pliuth is
four feet six inches square and three
feet six inches high, and at either side
stand pilasters supporting urns, each
three feet three inches high. The die
is three feet six inches square at the
base and three feet two inches high,
and upon the front is carved a scroll
representing the Constitution of the
United States, and an open book, with
a hand resting upon it, representing
the taking of the oath of Office. The
shaft is thirteen feet high and two feet
ten inches square Mt the base, tapering
to the apex, over which hangs an
American flag in graceful folds, and
surmonuting the whole is an Ameri-
can eagle with outstretched wings.
The inscription is simple, containing,
with the addition OF the name and age
and death of Mrs. Johnson, the fol-
lowing: stAndrew johnson, Seven.

A CURE. FOR sLANDER.

The following very homely but sim
gularly instructive lesson is by st.
Philip Neri:
A lady presented herself to him one
day, accusing herself OF being given
to slander. 'sDo you frequently fall
into this fault ?" inquired the Saint.
eyes, Father, very often," replied
the penitent. "My dear Child" said
the Saint, ssyour fault Is great, but tho
mercy of God Is still greater for your
penance, do as follows: Go to the
nearest market, purchase . chicken
just killed aud still covered with feath-
ers you will then walk to a certain
distance, plucking the bird as you 90
along your walk finished, you will re-
turn to me.'
Great was the astonishment of the
lady In receiving 50 strange a penances
but sifencing all human reasoning, she
replied, "I will obey, Father, will
obey" Accordingly, she repaired to
the market, bought the fowl and set
out ON her journey, plucking 1t as she
went along, as she had been ordered.
In a short time she returned, anxious
to tell of her exactness In accomplish
Ing her penance and desirous to receive
some explanation Of one SO singular.
"Ah =" said the saint, 'syou have
oeen very IaitnMl to the nest part OF
my orders now do the second part,
and you will be cured. Retrace your
steps pass through all the places you
have already traversed, and gather up
one by one all the feathers you have
scattered"
"But, Father" exclaimed the poor
woman, 'tthat is impossible. cast
tho feathers carelessly on every slde !;
tho wind carried them In different
directions how can now recover
them?"
"Well, my child" replied the saint,
$50 it Is with your words of slander,
like the feathers which tho wind has
scattered, they have been waited In
many directions; call them back now
! If you can. Go and sin no more"
History does not tell II the lady was
converted /; but It Is probable. 1t re-
quired saint to give the lesson, ono
should be fool not to profit by 1t.

Henry WILL, 50 runs the story, hav-
ing quarrelled with Francis L., rcsolv-
cd to send an ambassador to deliver Il
message to that monarch in the most
menacing terms, and appointed Bishop
Bonner to execute the commission.
The bishop told the king that the en-
bassy would cost him his life. Henry
replied that if any harm bcfcll his re-
preventative, he would instantly cut
off the heads of all Frcnchmcn in his
dominions. $50 you may, sir" OBJ

MEXICO.

There will never be peace in Mexico
until that country is annexed to the
United States. The causes which
compelled Minister Forsyth to throw
up his mission and return the United
States are Mt work to-day precisely as
they were at work twenty years ago.
The MeNicans are incapable of govern
ing themselves. 1t was thought that
the government which !overthrew and
executed Maximilian and which kept
Juarez in power so long, would have
continued permanently but hardly
had the successor of Juarez become
warm in his seat before Diaz, with a
mere handful of raw recruits, march,
ed upon the capitol and secured the
government. And now that Diaz has
hardly become warm in his usurped
seat we find the adherents of the de-
posed Lerdo organizing and crossing
the Rio Grande to attack the govern
ment which the United States has Just
recognized. It appears that the adher-
ents of Lerdo, ex-President of the
Mexican Republic and successor OF
Juarez, have long been quietly matur-
ing their plans for an invasion, and
the Governors of several of the border.
ing States have been waiting the op.
pOrtunity to join any movement of the
Lerdists which might promise success.
Lerdo himself is reported as being very
active in forwarding the new revolu-
tionary scheme, his base of operations
now being New York city, where he is
attending to tho procurement of muni-
tions of war with which to arm his fol-
lowers. Tho most aggravating feature
of the news is that these revolutionary
bands are not only threatening the oifi-
cial tenure of Diaz, but are melting
raids from Mexico into Texas, hoping
thereby to force tho United States
troops to follow the freebooters into
Mexican territory, and thus to compli-
cate the relations between the two ma
tions and incidentally aid Lerdo in the
accomplishment OF his purpose. A
correspondent at the seat Of war pre-.
diets that Lerdo will eventually sue

REBATE ON TAXES.
Washington (La.) Enterprise ]

Washington CLa.) Enterprise.]
To put it mildly, this is a very mex
cusable piece of legislation, in our
opinion. We cannot understand how
any Legislature could be persuaded to
put itself on record in the passage of a
law containing such a feature, unless
they presumed upon the ignorance or
passiveness of their entire constitu-
ency, or were themselves inattentive
and failed to perceive the Objectionable
points in the system.
By what means is the State able to
make rebate of five, four, three, two
and one per cent, for the months Of
March, April, May and June respec-
lively? Evidently by over assessing
in the first instance the entire taxable
property Of the State; for if this were
not done, there would evidently be a
deficit in the fiscal account of the State
exactly corresponding to the amount
of rebates granted. This deficit can
only be met by over assessment. The
question now arises upon whom will
this burden of over assessment fall?
The only reply is, upon those who pay
after the last day of June. And who
are they? Evidently those who find
most difficulty in paying their taxes at
any rate, the small taxpayers who
have least facilities for getting money.
We are forced to the conclusion, that
the com mittee which labored to produce
this paragon of legislation was either
very simple or very dishonest; and
those members who voted for it, must
have done so without due considera-
tion.

BY the analysis of some OF the most
ancient coins, and of metallic vessels
taken from the excavations ut Hercula-
neum, it is found that they contain n
portion Of zinc; yet, to the moderns,
zinc is II new metal. Less than u CEN
tury ago zinc was not considered as a
metal ut all. Homberg, Il philosopher
who wrote about that period, says
"Zinc is compound of iron and TIM"
thus implying that 1t had no individ-
ual existence, but it was Il compound.
Such, however, is not found to be the
case by modern chemists.
Indifferent rs we are to ga bit of
zinc" there arc few substances that
have rendered more service, or been
more instrumental to the cause OF
science and the progress of knowledge
than this metal. Considered in rela-
ton to its own qualities, 1t possesses
rare interest. Certain combinations of
this metal with copper, under tho
euphonious names OF "tombac,"
"brass," "pinch-bcck, have been used
in the arts, especially il China, from
time immcmorial. In the celestial
empire, zinc in great purity is used for
current coin. The money has fire.

DRAINS AND THRIFT.

The Thunderer of London is right.
There arc brains In American industry.
Why, the great Corliss engine at the
Centennial Exhibition had brains, for
saw 1t pick up Its own valves and
drop them when there was just steam
enough on, and very few men can DO
trusted to do that. 1t had SO much
sense it would not waste one pound Of
steam, for 1t knew that steam cost
money. American brains shine in the
finish and fitness OF tho work that Is
commanding even the markets of
Asia. 1t is the busy brain behind tho
cunning hand that guides the great
artisan to perfect his workmanship,
just as the colors of tho artist must be
mixed with brains If they are to be
radiant for ever. And yet American
industry has been struggling under
the disadvantage arising from political
disturbances and financial disorder.
We must endeavOr to remove our
professional politics from tho path
way of Intelligent industry. There is a
chance for strokes of craftsmanship.
There is ono virtue I'm which tho
Americans are not conspicuous, they
need to complete the round OF their
triumphs. 1t Is thrift. The growth of
two blades OF grass or two stalks OF
grain where there was ono should be
celebrated. Cutting down trees was
the beginning of our industry. Tho
time has come to plant trees, and to
cover the fields with clover to bind
up tho wounds Of tho soil to restore
to the ffre-swept deserts the blooming
tempting the gentle rains
from heaven that the waste places may
be fruitful, that the rivers may not
run turbid with the riches of tho earth
to the seas, and that the great con-
tincnt VIC inherit may be good for tho
generations to coIne.-A. T. G0sh0,7,.
