Advice 10 a Young Nan.

Young man. when YOU see anything

your hat and talk politics and religion
and weather and tell old. stale jokes
whereof you can't remember the point.
until you worry the old man into n
nervous irritation. Go at him with n
full head Of steam on and your bow
ports open. like an iron-clad pulling for
n shore battery. Snort and paw and
shake your bead if you feel like IL, no
matter IL IL does make him look aston
ished. Better astonish him than bore
him. Go into his heart or his pocket
book, or both. II amounts to the same
thing. like n brindlc bull with curl in
his forehead, charging n red merino
dress. eyes on fire, tail up and the dust
a-hying. Then you'll fetch him. Or.
possibly. he may fetch you. But never
mind; you'll accomplish something and
show you aren't afraid 60 speak whats
on your mind. And that's great dea
more than You would accomplish By the
other method. You needn't be cheeky.
but YOU ought to be STRAIGHTFORWARD.

Novel Mode of Packing Flowers.

Choice flowers have been sent across
the continent from California by n novel
method, which is described as follows /:
a large potato Of California variety.
the largest in the world, was cut in two
and part Of the Pulp scooped ont Of the
center of both pieces. Into the halves
were laid the Occidental bleom.n aud
the potato was joined together again
with a strip Of thin paper about the
edges. The moisture from the potato
kept the flowers fresh during their Jour
noy, and their color was as beautiful ON
reaching their destination as when first
plucked. The odor, however, was gone
from the flowers, and they gave forth a
decidedly "potatoish" scent. We pre-
sumo n scooped-out pumpkin would
answer the purpose equally as well, and
afford greater room for storage.

", W. Kimball, principal Of the First
Ward school, says that there is a notice
able decrease in malaria complaints now.
over last year He cites as substantive
Of his assertion that last year at this time,
202 scholars were absent on account Of
ague, malarial fevers, etc., while now 1877
is the number thus far reached. Even
this number however shows how destruct-
i've Of health are the miasmatic vapors
from the slough, especially after a rain.
The Peoria Journal refers to Sickness in
Rock Island and says AT one time there
was no healthier location in the state than
| Rock Island, but the slough in that city,
which has been fast filing up, euits so
much miasmatic vapor as to impregnate
the atmosphere with malaria, and now the
complaint is general, where it used to be
exceptional"
The ARGUS is willing to admit the pre-
valence of malaria complaints to a large
extent in this city, but thinks the Journals
statement rather oVer-estimates the true
condition of affairs. Without doubt there
is great number Of cases here of fever
and ague, and it is also fact that the
vapor from the slough cause the sickness,
but still with thorough drainage and care
ful attention in using preventives much of
the sickness can be avoided 1t is only a
question of time when a thorough system
of drainage for the slough will be not q
question Of mere improvement, but one of
necessity.

Saved Prom Gortschakoff.
New York Herald.)

All the doctors are now crying out that
peace is secured in Europe, and there is
as much tfusiveness over the announce
ment as if the armed legions of two mighty
hosts drawn up for battle had suddenly
received orders to mingle their colors and
join in grand march past. 1t will soon,
we hope, be time for US to know exactly
what Europe has been saved from. So
far we are favored with the news that
Russia has been held in on one side and
France on the other. Austria is to pursue
her occupation of Bosnia and finally annex
the territory she occupies. Italy and
Turkey are, therefore. to be held in also,
for Italy is jealous of the Austrian ad
vance and Turkey loses BY it. One thing,
however, comes out pretty clearly-name-
~, that Prince Bismarck, by his visit 10
Vienna and the chorus which has beer
raised IN the German press, palpably at
official instigation, puts the onus of an
| attempt to disturb the peace of Europe on
Russia. Indeed. the outcry is directed in
| particular manner against Prince Gort-
schakof, the Russian Chancellor, and the
uutavorable comparisons made between
| Gortschakotf and Schouvalof seem intend
ed to convey that it is only the former who
stands il the way of perfect concord be-
tween the three imperial powers. But for
him, it is argued, France would not have
the nonsense about a reuancke revived.
France, it may be remarked, has not been
talking revenge at ALL What if the whole
thing should resolve itself into a personal
fight by Bismarck to get Gortschakoff dis
credited at home and sent into privacy
That would be a ridiculous mouse indeed
but Prince Bismarck does not ne elect his
enemies, great or small.
