An illustrated paper, by Nr. c. C. Buel in
SCRiBSER for April, contains an account of
Nj. Berghs unique and interesting work and
this sketch Of the personnel OF the man;
Thirteen years OF devoted labor have
wrought no very great cLange in the ap-
pearance and manner of Henry Bergh. Ii
the lines ol his careworn face have multi

kindly influence OF public sympathy and
the release of his genial disposition from
au.tere restraint. A visitor who had no
claims on Mr. Bergh's indulgence once
remarked, Il was alarmed by the dig
nifty OF his presence and disarmed by his
politeness. Since Horace Greeleys
death, no figure more familiar to the pub
lie has walked the streets OF the metropo-
lis. Nature gave him an absolute patent
on every feature and manneI uf his per
sOnaity. His commanding stature of six
feet Is magnlied by his erect and dignl-
ned bearing. A silk hat with straight
rim covers with primncss the severity of
his presence. A dark brown or dark blue

ElOquence Thrown Away.

Great takers are very apt TO be monol
oIlsts, and To like persons most who inter
rupt them least. They are likely, how
ever, to delude themselves with the notion
that they are fond Of conversation, when
they are simply enamored o. the sound OF
their own voices. Beriah Magoffin, ex-
Governor of Kentucky, and prominent
politician OF that state, has AN infirmity of
this kind. and exemplfied it recently while
making railway journey from Cincinnati
to Lexington. He shared his seat with a
pleasant faced, intelligent man, and after a
few commonplace remarks, to which the
stranger smiled and nodded assent, opened
the sluices OF his talk, and poured forth
steady stream Of speech. He discoursed
upon the richness, beauty, and manifold
virtues of the State; every Kentuckian is
preternaturally voluble on this topic; upon
the scenes of the civil war, upon the horse
races he had witnessed, upon the political
campaigns he had fought, and upon the
wideiy-appreciaied excellence. in the old
Commonwealth, of Bourbon whisky. The
time slipped away, and on reaching Lex
ington the two were so mutually pleased
that they exchanged cards. The Cover
nor drove to an inn, and told some friends
he met there that the ride had never seemed
so short; that he had encountered de-
lightful gentleman, and had had most in
teresting conversation with him on vari-
ETY. OF topics. His remarks had shown him
To be man OF rare powers of mind. ''Who
Is her His name is King" "Not Bob
kingT LET me see; have his card.
Yes; Robert King" A roar greeted Ma
Coffin as they shouted: "Bob King is deaf
and dumb. Governor. He was born So"

Once upon a time a Greenback man was
seen tryin. to draw new cart up long,
steep hill, when u Democrat came along
and offered to help him. The GIeenhack
man said he guessed he could draw the
cart 10 the hill alone, but the Democrat
guessed he couldn't, aud said they had BET
ter pull 1t up together Finally the Green
back man tola the Democrat that he might
20 behind and push, and although The
Democrat felt As though he would rather
pull than push. he did just as the Green
back man told him to do aud went behind
the cart to push they got along pretty
well tor while, when the Greenhack man
found that the Democrat wasn't pushing
very hard. BY aud by, as the cart sept
getting harder and harder TO pull, the
GreenbICs man looked around to see what
was the matter and found the Democrat
sitting upon the hind end of the cart with
his feet hanging of. Then the Greenbsck
man got mad and told the Democrat that
he couldn't come that game on him, that
he must get oil and push. The Democrat
had got tired OF pushing and wanted to
change places with the Greenback man,
and so he Offer ed TO pull il the Greenbacker
would push. The Greenback man said that
1t was his cart, and that the Democrat

old cart the rest OF the way or bust. Then

goned old cart got loose and went rolliag
and tumblIng down TO the foot of the hill,

whether it was u cart or something else.
Then the Greenback man and the Demo-
crat heard somebody holler from the top
OF the long, steep hill, and when they look
ed up they saw Republican standing
there with.the thumb of his right hand Oh

A Common Word.


OF all the long suffering words Of our
much-abused English tongue, few have
had their meaning subjected to more fire.
quent distortions than has the common
term lady. Our Saxon fathers made the
word lady to mean bread giver; but their
lax descendants, ever taking more and
more latitude 10 the application Of words
have turned it into a complimentary moth
ing.
We can see how the name lady, from be-
ing applied to the giver of wheaten loaves,
should at length be conferred upon her
who, out of her abundant kindliness, gave
pleasant looks and helpful words to the
heart-hungry. even though her means en-
abled her to do little else; for is not sym
parny the stan or ep,,,susa nr~r onv
who ministers to our highest wants is In
the truest sense 9 lady. But when the
word is used as u mere term Of complai-
sance its noble meaning is lost.
The man who desires to please, fearing
lest the word woman (by which the Crea
tor chose to designate the human femsle)
should CRATE upon the sensitive ear Of po-
lite society, calls every wearer Of petit
coats with whom he comes In contact, q
lady. And, stranger still, not few among
US regard lady as one who Is in no sense
bread-girer. bnt who Is, instead, q bread
monopOliSer, her very uselessness being
considered the chief constituent of her
ladyhood.
Mothers, teach your children the true
meaning OF the honest, hearts0me word.
Teach them that from every lady rsdiates
a kindly influence which Is the badge OF
her nobility. Without this, though her
rament be OF the finest, her intellect peer
less, her social position, invincible, she Is
usurper II she wears the title.

A SAD CALAMrTY.-The sanitary effects
Of the waters Of fepitz. In Bohemia. have
long been noted, and only recently the En-
peror Of Germany, suffering from the al
tack Of Modelling found great relief by
thei: use. The curative waters have sud-
denly disappeared. owing TO the under
ground sources having been disturbed by
mines located near the spot. While the
wOrkmen were digging they struck spring
which came with such force that twenty
one labOrers were drowned 1T once, and
the springs Of Teplitz at once gave out. 1t
is hoped TO check this flow aud restore tne
underground water course, though there
are fears that this will be- impossible. The
loss, If it proves permanent, will be i'm

millions of forms. Imagine the sudden
disappearance Of the springs at Saratoga,

II seems that there are more reasons than
one why more of the better class of Chi
nese do not come TO this country, and why
such OF the better class as do come do not
bring their wives with them. Here is what
a Chinese merchant of New York, Mon
jim Chez, says on that point:
The better class do not come here be-
cause they do not get that kind treat
ment' which the treaty guarantees them;
aud more particularly because they cannot
bring their wives with them and settle
here, as the Irish and others are allowed
to do. They would gladly settle here and
live as Americans do, II they were granted
rights which are allowed the lowest for
eigner. l would like TO cut of my cue,
aud bring my wife here, now living In Can
ton, If | could acquire property and be pro-
tected In its use, and transmit it to my
family. Chm Lon, famous Chinese mer-
chant In San Francisco. who died about
twelve years ago, owned houses and lots
and mining property, and was worth
great deal of money. He had wife aud
nine child'en with him, but when he died,
his property was taken by the city, aud his
family was LETT destitute. That was great
lessoa To Chinameu; and that Is why they
are obliged TO take their savings, il they
have any. back to China. Ii they could
acquire honesteads, they would settle on
the Wild lands and become tarmeTs-an
occupation they are fitted Tor and like. The
better class OF women do not come here
because they are subject 10 insults and all
other hsrdships We have to undergo here.
Two friends of mine, whose wives live in
this city. had TO bring them here in meas
clothes to save them from the insults of
hoodlums and others. As a Chinaman is
not allowed to become citizen, be is
obliged to 20 back to China, so they do
not bring their wives with them.

A Word TO Husbands.

Don't think when you have won a
wife that you have also won elsve.
Don't think that your wife has less
feeling than your sweetheart. Her
relation to you is changed, not hor
nature.
Don't think that you can dispense
with all the little civilities of life to.
ward, her on marrying. She appre-
riates thoee things quite as much as
other women.
Don't be gruif and rudo at home.
Had you been that sort of fellow be-
fore marriage, the probabilities ere
that you would be sewing on your
own buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that she is
an ircumbrance on you by giving her
grudgingly. What she needs give as
cheerfully as if it were pleasure so
to do. She will feel better and so
will you.
Don't meddlc in the affairs of the
house under her charge. You have
no more right TO be poking your nose
into the kitchen than she has to walk
into your place of business and give
directions to your employees.
Don't find fault with her extrava-
gance in ribbon, ETC., until you have
shut down on segars, tobacco, etc.
Don't leave your wife at homo to
nurse the children on the score Of
economy, while you bolt down town
at night to see the show or spend
dollar on billiards.
Don't bolt your supper, and hurry
of to spend evenings lounging away
from your wife. Before marriage you
couldn't spend evenings enough with
her.
Don't prowl in the loafing resorts
till midnight, wasting your time in
culpable idlencss, leaving your wife
lonely at home to brood over your
neglect and her disappointment.
Don't think that board and clothes
are sufficient for all your wife does
for you.
Don't caress your wife in public
and snarl and growl at her in private.
Don't wonder that your wife is not
as cheerful rs she used to be, when
she labors from early morn till late
at night TO pander TO the comfort
and caprice OF selfish man who has
not soul enough 10 appreciate her.
