Keeping His Head Clear.

A noted operator in stocks declined an
invitation to take a glass of wine.
"Why,n remarked his friend, "you
used to drink " 81 did when was in
the dry-goods business was the reply ;
''but since I've gone into Wall Street,
| find that | must keep my head clear,
and can't do that and drink" The
following story shows that another
great operator holds a similar opinion,
and puts tobacco among the. things not
to be used: ADDS
William II. Vanderbilt was a great
smoker in his youth. One day in 1858,
as the family were on their way to St.
Petersburg, on board the steam-yacht
Northern Star, the father and son were
walking on deck. The latter was puff
ing away at his after-dinner cigar.
81 wish you would give up that smok-
ing habit of yours. III give you ten
thousand dollars if you do IT, said the
Commodore, abruptly. 4le8. 4H
"You need not give me any money !;
your wish is quite sufficient" answered.
the son, throwing the cigar overheard.
And he has never smoked since.
The command which Mr.. Vanderbilt
has always had over himself in matters
of this kind is quite remarkable. He
was, for example, like his father, very
fond of a game of whist, and like him,
considered himself to be one of the best
of players.
When he had removed to New YORK
and become connected with the Harlem
Railroad, he used to spend three or four
evenings week at the Union Club. But
he noticed that tobacco-smoke and mid
night hours interfered with the clear
ness of his head the next morning, and
he at once gave up both club and whist.
The same thing happened with wine.
He likes glass of champagne, but hav-
ing discovered that his head felt 1t next
day, he never touches any wine now, mot
even at public banquets and dinner par
ties at his own house. As to spirits,
they were always out of the question
with him. "a - es..ssz

How Paris is Washed and starched.

Greenville Murray, in new Sc Round
About France" paper, tells how Paris
is washed, starched and ironed every
week. He says that French laundresses
have an awkward trick of putting on
the fine linen Of their lady customers to
deck themselves withal on festive occa-
sions; and this they do especially at the
yearly festival of washerwomen which
takes place on the Thursday of Mid
Lent. On that day the laundresses of
each wash-house elect Queen-gener-
ally the prettiest girl who washes in the
quarter; she in turn. nomina es King,
some fascinating young fellow who
drives a. laundry cart, and the pair be-
ing tricked out in their best are driven
about all day in carriage and pair, fol
lowed by gallant procession of other
washerwomen and washermen in vans,
carts, and gigs of every description. In
the evening there=is a grand dinner, for
which two or three lavoirs-ciub together,
and the proceedings wind up with q
ball. During Mi-Careme week ladies
have often to complain that their smart
est petticoats, silk stockings, and laced
handkerchiefs are missing, for the
Queens get themselves up regardless of
other peoples expense, and are never
so pleased as when they can find among
their customers bundles the materials

The Better Side of Human Nature

a week ago young man in this city
smashed one of the street lamps. He
was arrested for disorderly conduct,
and when brought before the police
court be offered a unique explanation of
his conduct. He did not plead previous
good character in extenuation of his Of
Tense, and to mitigate the punishment
to which he had exposed himself. On
the contrary, he informed the magis-
islrate that his previous character had
been any thing but good. He had been
guilty of many previous otfenses of q
deeper dye. He had even served a
term Of Imprisonment in the State
prison. All this he related with the ut
most frankness. He did not seem in
the least disposed to keep any thing
back of all his dark and guilt stained
past. He only added that he had prom
ised his mother, while he was in prison
and she was on her death-bed, that he
would not steal again; and that al
though tempted by actual starvation to
break his promise, he had stuck to it
through the sixty long hours he had ex
perienced the pangs of hunger, and fin
ally committed his trivial offense mere
ly as a step to secure food without steal
ing.
This story, confirmed by extrinsic
evidence, was published. Atonce pres
ents of money and offers of assistance
began to pour in on the young man. A
thousand hearts warmed in sympathy
toward him.
What does this teach?
1t teaches that even criminals will be
assisted in any attempt at reform as
soon as people believe they are in earn
est.
OF course there is and there should be
a reluctance to receive into families or
workshops persons of whom nothing
is known but that they are convicts;
but when one of this unhappy class sue
ceeds in making it apparent that he
really desires to lead blameless life in
the future, the hand of assistance will
be quickly extended to him.. Y.Sun.

Jealous Of a Corpse.

A scene of q very disagreeable nature
is said TO have occurred at a funeral in
Pittsburg, says the Leader of that city.
1t seems that a young married lady who
died had previous to her marriage re-
ceived the attentions of a gentleman
who afterward married another lady.
At the funeral of the former lady, the
wife'of the gentleman, who is practising
his profession in Pittsburg, repaired to
the house where the last sad rites were
being performed, and when the minis
ter of she gospel had finished his eulo-
gy of the deceased, she went up to the
coffin and began to address the assem-
bled friends and relatives in an excited
manner. From what could be gathered
from her excited utterances it would
seem she was jealous of the deceased,
and she announced that should her hus-
band approach the coffin, even so much
as TO look at the corpse, she would tear
out his eyes. The woman became vio-
lent in her demonstrations, and consid-
cradle confusion resulted among the
astonished persons present. She was
finally elected from the room, and for
fear that another scene should occur,
q gentleman was dispatched to the
pavement outside, where her husband
was, and requested him not to enter the
house. The unpleasant incident has
occasiOned a great deaf of gossip since
its occurrence, especially as all the par
ties occupy high social positions.

A SnObbish New Highlander.

The members of an old family, while
in straitened circumstances, were APP
preached by a rich man of some note in
the business and political world of a
neighboring Commonwealth who wish
ed to buy the family portraits of wor-
thies of the Colonial and Revolutionary
days. The prosperous man was of the
same name but not of the same blood.
Apparently lie felt the need of a family
behind him. A claim of long descent
would advance his social standing if not
his political ambition. However that
may be, the portraits were bought and
hung in his halls, and thereafter he
pointed to them with pride as the pic
tured semblances of his forefathers -
men of note in the old Commonwealth.

Private aud commercial dispatches from
Calcutta assert that the British successes in
Afghauistan are not altogether so decisive
as is represented in Government dispatches
in other words, it is more than limited that
the true state OF affairs is studiOusly con-
cealed from the British public and that much
OF what is given out for news is little less
than a fragrant Misrepresentation Of facts.
For instance, the reported flight Of the Ameer
and the surrender Of his son, Yakoob Khan,
to the British forces at Jellalabad, are now
contradicted, and in explanation it is said
that the Ameer has carried on a systematic
process of deception, and has caused false
reports concerning his movements to be
sent to headquarters. This, in connection
with the news that the troops in khyber
Pass have been attacked by a large force OF
Afreedees, who were only repulsed after
hard fighting, naturally causes some appre-
hension in England that the war may not be
so speedily terminated as was recently an
anticipated.

Scarcity of Women in the Far West.

Among the blessings of fortune I'M
equally distributed may be enumerated
women, who, while superintendent in
many parts of the East, are so scarce in
certain regions of the West that there
are not one-quarter enough for connu-
bal purposes. In Idaho, for example,
women are sadly wanted, not one man
in thirty, it is said, having a wife. Con-
-sequently, the twenty unwilling
bachelors are eager for partners, and
some of them have written to the East
inquiring why feminine expectations are
not made into the territory. They could
assuredly be made to advantage, prac-
tically considered, because many of the
Idahoans have comfortable cabins and
fertile fields-every thing, indeed, to
complete a desirable home except a
wife-decidedly an important lack. The
Territorial newspapers frequently men-
ton affrays growing out of the paucity
of women, and express the opinion that
| if there were more of them compare
tive peace would prevail. As Utah to
the south, is so literally supplied with
wives it is not improbable that the Ida
hoans may make a raid over the border
and repeat the history of the rape of the
Sabines. Men may and can live with
out women; but they won't for any
| length of time when women can be had.
If the Idahoans be much longer de-
prived of their marital rights it is fear
ed that they will plumber their neigh
bors. 1t does seem hard that Nor
mon should often have ten or twelve
wives, and most Idahoans, in the ad-
joining Territory, be deprived of even
one wife. The interests of humanity
demand new adjustment.-Ne1c York
