would be neither wise nor pleasant. We
may regard sociability as the vestibule which
opens into a pleasant acquaintance, a true,
firm friendship, or, possibly, into the nearer
and dearer relation of marriage But what
ever it leads to, love aud kindness are the
motives, even if the unconscious ones, which
prompt to its action. We do not wish to be
obtrusive. and therefore trust that our adj
vances may not be received in wrong
spirit. No rules can be given if this tact be
wantingi it can be learned only by knowl-
edge of the laws of courtesy, and by study
of those with whom we come in contact
As rule, the relations which exist be-
tween the sexes are of a truly pleasant,
friendly, or intellectual character. Why
should they not be so? They are together in
childhood through their school-days; and the
gentlemen and ladies who meet together in
our colleges and universities have done more
to establish these pleasant relations than any
other class of people. Experience certainly
shows that there is a better-balanced intelli-
gence in community of men and women
. crowd of men and women God made the
two natures not unequal-there is no ques-
ton of equality to come in here-but he
made them unlike, incomplete, each without
the other. 1t is the combining of mans in
| tellect with woman's which makes human
intelligence complete as far as tiniteness can
be complete. The particular line of thought
which is followed by man and woman differs;
but the general thought is in a similar line
and therefore this general thought is more
capable of growth and expansion when the
thought of the two comes in contact than
! when man meets man alone, or woman
meets woman. Each will find in the other
some stray thread of the thought which i.
missing in his or her own mind, but which
they never knew was missing until they
found it.
1t is by those who do not view this subjec
in its true light, by those who have nothing
of interest in common with others outside o.
their own petty, personal affairs, that the i'm
mense amount of harm is done, and the con
fusion of the words "sociability" and ''flirta
ton" is made. They are obtuse and do no
distinguish between folly or sin and a love
for society or fondness for company.
A large share of the sorrow and unhappi
ness in the world is caused by misrepresenta
ton and misunderstanding. Very seldom
do we meet with one who wishes to do harm
or to injure others; but motives are falsel,
ascribed and the wound is inflicted. Let Il
be thoroughly honest, kind and considerat
toward all, and judge then of others me
tiyes by our own.

Power of a Horses Scent.

There is one perception which horse pos
sesses to which little attention has been paid,
and that is the power Of scent. With some
horses it is acute, as with the dog; and for the
benefit of those who have to drive at night,
such as physicians and others, this knowledge
is invaluable. never knew it to fail, and
/ have ridden hundreds of miles on dark
nights; and in consideration to this power of
scent, this is my advice: Never check your
horse at night, but give him free head, and
you may rest assured that he will never get
off the road, and will carry you expeditions
ly and safe. In regard tothe power of scent
in horse once knew one of pair that was
stolen, and recovered mainly by the track
being made out by its mate, and that after
he had been absent six or eight hours.

Practical Hints.
New York SUM-

Mosquitoes can be driven from rooms by
the smoke of insect-powder burnt on hot
shovel. When it Is not easy to get fire, put
a bit of gum camphor on shovel, light and
the gum will catch as quickly as alcohol;
then sprinkle tablespoonful of insect-pow
der (pyrethrum) on the fame, let it take fire,
blow out the blaze, close the windows and
let the smoke rise for five minutes. 1t will
not injure walls or furniture, and does: not
harm human beings, though obnoxious to in
sects Hanging cloth on which teaspoon
full of carbolic acid is poured, at the head of
the bed. will keep mosquitoes away, and the
writer has repeatedly gained good nights
sleep by this means when others failed. Take
care to place the cloth or sponge so that
there is no danger of touching it with the
face or hands in the night as the acid burns
like caustic.
1t is not GENERALLY known. as it ought to be
that the remedy for burns by carbolic acid is
Canada fir balsam, spread on the part at
| tackled.
| A wash of 10 or 20 drops of common car
| bolic acid in q half-pint of water will imme-
| diately relieve the smart of mosquito bites,
hives, pricllly heat, and all irritations of the
| skin common in summer. As the strength
| of carbolic acid commonly sold varies, the
dilution should be tested before using by
wetting small spot of skin. If it causes any
burning in a moment or so, it is too strong,
and more water must be added. The lotion
was recommended by city physician as in
use in Bellevue hospital, and years of expert
ence prove its benefit. Many restless nights
and much suffering of children might be
avoided by this simple cure, which has been
safely used on very young infants.
The fortunes which babies have to under
| go are so numerous and so pitiful, and visit
ed impartially on all about them in travel
and at home; so many ailing, miserable lit
tie creatures are to be seen on the cars and
ferryboats, taken out by their distracted
mothers for change of air, that feel it will
be giving general relief to tell the advice OF
hospital physician, which proved an entire
success in my own family. The pain Of
teething may be almost done away with, and
the health of the child benefited, by giving
it fine splinters of ice, picked off with pin,
to melt in its mouth. The fragment is SC
small that it is but drop ofwarm water be
fore it can be swallowed, and the child ha:
all the GOODNESS for its fevered gums, without
the slightest injury. The avidity with
which the little things taste the cooling
morsel, the instant quiet which succeeds
hours of fretfulness and the sleep which fol
low the relief, are the best witness.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems q year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the carewOrn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we near the falls of death,
Feel we its tide more rapid?
Itmay be strange-yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding.
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
Indemnifying feetness,
And those of youth, O seeming length,
Proportional to their sweetness.

The Colored School at the Lecture.

EDITOR INTELLIGENeER:-Having noticed in
the last issue OF your paper an account Of the
'.tlounce firting'' at the courthouse Friday al
ternoon of last week, l desire to correct the
statement that ''the colored children were seat
ed promiscuously among the whltes.' which Is
a decided mistake. Dr.. Houser. having an
nounced that he would deliver a lecture to the
children of the public schools of the city, and
we, thinking the colOred school one OF the pup
lie schools, and knowing the extreme need OF
physiological information among the colored
children, concluded to attend. On entering We
found all the seats outside the bar occupied by
the whites; We saw no other seats vacant than
those within the bar, and we preferred taking
them to standing up, as Il matter OF course.
During our stay in the audience room the most
insulting epithets, such rs 'Here come the
black Clouds ''nisger.'' etc., were hurled Mt
us most pro!usely, to the extreme disgust of the
''schoolmarms'' and colored children, who eX-
pected much better behavior on the part of the
Superior race" All this extreme politencss
was silently endorsed by the teacher. Qor we
remember seeing one'only,) who seemed to take
as great pleasure in listening to them as instruct
ing them in something useful. Then, when the
order was given. ''Let the black people sit
there which was more as a ommand to
brutes than to human beings, we thought 1t wise
to take our leave. not because the word ''black'
was used instead of ''cOlOred, - but the man.
ner in which the words were spoken. The
whites must learn, if they do not know, that Il
certain amount Of respect is due every one, be

Grange Meeting at Higginsville.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Last Saturday was
the day set apart by the Lafa yette county grange
to hear a lecture from the state lecturer of llli-
noIs, also the lecturer OF this state, Mr.. Need
ham. at Higginsville.
A goodly number came in on the trains of the
C.. & A. and Mo. p. railroads, all of whom ar
rived at an early hour. The early, part Of the
day was spent in an examination or inspection
OF the town of Higginsville. Your correspon-
dent, with others, took in the city. and l can
say that l, us well rs all from a distance, were
somewhat agreeably disappointed. We found
Higginsville a much larger place than we had
expected. We found q better class Of buildings
than we had dreamed of; the store-rooms We're
full of goods, and business was lively. We
found very nice and complete stocks Of goods.
We also called to see the Lafayette County Adj
vance. and found quite II neat office. The boys
are all good-lOoking fellows, and, unlike most
newspaper men, had on clean clothes. They all
spoke in the most encouraging manner of their
paper, and we found that the entire people of
Higainsville seemed to be proud Of the Advance
all had q good word to say for it.
The citizens of Hlgginsville are taking great
interest in the proposed railroad from Holden TO
HIgginsville, and seem very confident that the
same will be built ut an early day.
The grange convened at ten O'Clock, but by
SOM mistake the speakers from a distance did
not arrive, and alter transactng the business OF
the grange, a recess was had for dinner, and a
bountiiul supply was furnished by the sister
hood. Allow me to say here that the hotel
keepers, sseing SO many in the city from a dis
lance, prepared each Il very fine dinner, bu'
when they saw the crowd coming out of the
grange hall. picking their teeth, they felt in.
deed that it was the grange which had met in
Higginsville. After dinner the grange threw
open its doors to any and all who desired te
hear the speeches, and the hall was well filled,
when H. e. Chiles. Jacob Zentmeyer. c. L,
Ewing and W. B. Steele were each called upor
and made speeches. which were we'll received
The crowd then adjourned, after one of the mos
