The Paris Exposition.

A Washington correspondent says of
the great French show:
"a comparison of the applications
for space in the Paris Exposition with
the exhibits made ut the Vienna Expo
sition shows the number of exhibitors
at Paris is to be smaller than at Vienna.
The total number of exhibitors at vi
emma was 643, and there have been only
619 applications for space in the United
States department of the Paris EXPOSE
ton. Every State in the Union was
represented by at least one exhibitor at
Vienna, while for the coming EXposi.
ton no applications whatever have been
received from fully one-half the States
in: the Union. A comparison of the
applications in detail shows that in re-
gard to machinery, the only thing OF
which we had even Il respectable show
ing at Vienna, there is to be a much
poorer exhibit at Paris. There were
15G exhibitors of general and agricul.
tural machinery at Vienna, while at
Paris there will be less than 100 eXhibi,
tors of machinery. There will be I'M
provement in one branch of our exhibi-
ton, however, for, while there were
only ten oil paintings ut the Vienna
exhibition, there will he nineteen at the
Paris Exposition, if all the exhibitors
who have applied for the privilege shall
persist in sending their pictures to it,"

ON Guard.

Girls should be particularly care
full Of their association, and act on
the rule that introductions do not al
ways introduce. A suspicious man
ner and naughty bearing are Meth
er necessary nor pleasing; one may
be civil and polite without intimacy.
But it is far better to decline the
social advances of persons whom you
do not know, than to receive them
and afterwards have cause to blush
because Of your acquaintance with
them. Particularly should this be
the case as regards young men. A
young man-good looking, gallant,
pleasant, intelligent comes into the
neighborhood. He makes himself
agreeable to the girls, and in fort
night, or months time, they accept
him as escort to ball, party, might
meetings" singing schools, lectures,
etc., and this without having any
absolute knowledge of who, and
what, be is He has been introduced
as Mr.. So-and SO, with which vague
passport he makes his way into gen
eral society and into the sancity Of
private, houses. | remember story
which bears on this subject. A
young village girl became engaged
to young man with whose antece>
dents she was absolutely unacquain
ted. They were constantly together,
and his love for her seemed genuine.
Suddenly he left the village without
paying his debts, and en- examina-
ton of the contents Of the trunks left
behind him aroused suspicious of
grave character. The young man
was arrested and brought back to the
village, when it was ascertained that
he was an untrustworthy character,
and that his letter of introduction
was forged one. The girls par
ents, believing that nothing more Sc
rious than "Airtation" and perhaps
sincere love making had transpired
between him and their daughter, ex-
pressed themselves as being glad
"that it was no worse" Imagine,
then, their horror when she confess
sed that she had been privately mar
ried to the adventurer! Their an
ger equalled the anguish Of their
daughter, who died, soon after of a
broken heart. The adventurer was
sentenced to the State Prison for five
years; but be evinced no remorse
for the crime he had committed, and
sneeringly laughed at "the case with
which girls are won." This is a
true story, and its moral is easily
read.

TACT.

Tact literally means touch; it is
that quality by which one "feels" his
way. 1t is something more than
skill-sometbing more than judy
ment-it is spontaneous common
sense. 1t ia that power by which
one knows how to do the right thing
10 absence of precedents and rules.
1t delights in emergencies and glo>
ries in exceptional cases. 1t arrives
at conclusion too quickly for anal
ysis of the steps that Iced to it, and
you recognize it only when it has
accomplished its object, az bullet
which is seen only when it hits the
target, not in its passage through the
air. Syllogism are useless and "simi
lar cases" ignored. Tact is to talent
what genius is to knowledge, the one
FORCES and shapes what the other
gathers. Tact creates, talent accu-
mulates. Tact invents, talent dis
covers. Talent knows what to do,
tact knows how to do it. Talent is
wealth, tact is ready money. The
one is momentary, intentional, the
other is long and laborious. Tact
presupposes quick perception, lively
sympathy, versatility and ready adj
aptahi!ity to circumstances.
1t can be cultivated but is largely
native quality. When cultivated
it is apt to become cunning, crafti-
ness, manipulation, and degenerates
into insineerity. 1t will never do to
lose the innocency of the dove in the
wisdom Of the serpent. Tact is al
ways truthful, legitimate and honest
1t studies opportunities, and has a
keen sense of the eternal fitness OF
things The Scotch minister who
preached against the sin of luxury
to an audience not three of whom
had shoes on their feet, was wanting
ia tact. AS we say, his "6ngers are
all thumbs" his zeal is untempered
with knowledge. Such a man, from
such want, is bungling workman.
He becomes in his rashness, moral
Jehu, who overturns more OF the
chariots Of God than he safely drives.
Tact adapts itself to the occasion, to
the persons with whom it deals. 1t
is as necessary for the physician to
know the human body as to know
bis medicine-chest. Voltaire said OF
the physicians of France, that "they
put drugs Of which they knew little
into bodies of which they knew less
to cure diseases of which they knew
nothing"

A TANNED NEGRO SKIN.

THE Columbus Enquirer-Sun has
received from Albany, N. Y, piece
of tanned negro skin, and comments
on this fresh evidence of the love of
their Northern friends for the man
and brother in this wise: "Yester-
day we received by mail piece of
tanned negro skin from a gentleman
in Albsny, N. Y, who once lived
here aud made his departure in 1853.
He states that this is an evidence of
the love which, in theory, the North
ern people profess to have for the
colored raoe. A negro convict died.
The medical Students skinned the
body, aud tanned his hide for the
purpose of making boots. This piece
of skin is certainly great curiosity
and we will preserve it, The same
can be seen in our office. This
trophy(O Of the scientists is of the
thickness of fine calf skin and quite
porous. The Radicals can howl
over this inhuman aot of their stu.
dents. The party sending vouches
for the truth of the statement
Nothing SO abhorrent has ever oc-
Cured in the South, and we want to
see if the Radicals will raise their
hands in pious horror at the atro-
cious deed Of their young men,"

PUBLIC SPIRIT.

So long as an individual claims to
exercise the privilege of grumbling
and fault finding at matters of pub
lie conce IN, and without any effort
on his part to correct abuses, improve
methods or to educate the people,
let him remember that, after all, SO.
cietiy is but the collection of invidu-
al interest, a bundle of separate
hopes, desires and industries tied to-
gether by common bond of union,
sympathy and public zeal an asso>
citation Of effort, impulse and true
endeavor, that is incomplete 10 its or
ganization and purpose SO long as a
single citizen fails to join its ranks,
labor for its progress, or perform his
part; inefficient in a practical work
so long as a part of each community
hangs like dead weight upon the
ear of progress. 1t is a positive sin
for any man selGshIy to lock himself

WHY GOLD CHANGES COLOR.

1t is we'll known that the human
body contains humors and acids,
similar, in action to, and having a
like tendency toward, baser metals,
as nitric and sui phuric acids have
namely. to tarnish or dissolve them,
varying 10 quantity in different per
sons Of this theory we have abund"
ant proof in the effects which the
wearing of jewelry produces on diff
ferent persons. Thousands wear
continually, without any i'll effect, the
cheaper class of iewelry with brass
ear wires, while if others wore the
same article for a few days they
would be troubled with sore ears, or,
in other words, the acids contained
in the system would so act on the
brass as to produce i'll results. In
stances have occurred in which ar
ticles of jewelry of any grade below
eighteen carat have been furnished
in few days, merely from the above
named cause. True, these instances
are not very frequent nevertheless,
| il is well to know them, and they
are sufficient to prove that it is not
in every case the fault of the goods
not wearing we'll as it is generally
calIed-but the result of the consti.
tuition of the person by which they
are worn.

nineteen years ago. The body was
inclosed in a heavy metallic case
which was 10 a good state of preser-

preservation, the clothing were as
