Dead Beats and their Backers.

"The Old Cabinet" of Scribner for
May, after sketching the career of a
fraud, says:
Does any one suppose that the mis-
cradle man whose career is sketched
above, could have done the harm he
has done, if those good persons in the
community who knew him to be a
charlatan, had treated him as such /?
The sculptors who get up public
monuments" for the purchase of
their own caricatures Of distinguished
men, all have on the subscription-lists
the names of other men, scarcely less
distinguished. The amateur writer's
who seem to think they can get intel
ligent readers only by dint of recon-
mendations, after the manner of pat
ent soap manufacturers, are never at
a loss for celebrated names as sigma.
lures to their certificates. The point
that we wish to make is that frauds
financial, social, literary, artistic-get
their opportunity to do harm by the
good-natured acquiescence of the bet
ter part of the community. We never
knew dead-beat who did not have
some good man-some "genial re.
vlewer"--for his apologist and
"backer."

THE HERALD.
Hurry UP, Old Woman |

An elderly lady Of our acquaintance
has been called TO pass from one
part of our city to another very often.
and in all kinds of conveyances, for
many years; che has never but once
felt that she was insulted. On this
occasion, when in haste to catch a
boat just ready to start the man at
the chain called out, as she thought,
roughly, "HurrY up, old woman ="
The look of scorn and indignation
cast upon him as she stepped aboard
should have quite demolished him.
"Old woman" indeed She had
never before heard that term used, or
thought of it, as having any posi-
BILE connection with her. In most
stately manner she walked through
the cabin, and stood outside to cool
off and try to quiet the indignation
which she felt continually surging up
at such an-insult . She did not stop
to count the years that had passed
since her youth was an unquestiou-
able fact. But the offensive term
rang in her ears all the way from the
boat to her home as something I'm.
called for and rudely insulting. This
seemed very foolish and childishly
weak but then she thought "she did
we'll to get angry" When, however,
she reached her room, and stood be-
fore the mirror, she awoke to the fact
that the simple. hearted boatman was
perfectly correct, and that she was
supremely foolish old woman.
Now, we belive that half the COM
plants of insults that we hear so
much OF, both in general conversation
and reported in the newspapers, if
looked at soberly, as we found in
this, our FIRST and last insult. Let
mothers warn their daughters against
counting rudeness by bold, noisy and
unladylike behavior, both at home
and abroad, but most particularly
when going to school, shopping, rid
ing or going to places of public
amusement. Thus watched over by
mothers, If they have secured their
daughters love and reverence, they
will escape all moles'ation Unless 3
man is insane really, or worse, in,ox-
icated, we do not believe that lady
will be molested by look, word or act.
But woman who forgets that mod.
esty and delicaoy of department are
her true safeguards, challenges over.

The origin of saltpetre appears to
have been Enthusiastically explained
by modern research. Briefly, salt.
petre is nitrogen oxidized into nitric
acid, and this oxidation is brought
about by living organisms consisting
of colorless cells. These bodies are
found not only capable ofliving with.
out daylight, but light appears to be
predjudicial if not fatal TO their de-
vel0pment and growth.
