Pickles and Milk.

PICKLES and milk were the staple of
her diet, with lemonade and ice-creams,
on that hot afternoon, and yet the un-
happy young woman, after much I'M
easiness, declared she was poisoned
So possibly she was, but not in her way
of looking at it. They blamed the
pickles and the grocer, and tried hard
to lind copper dye in the one and collu-
sion in the other. While they were
about it they mi ght as well have sup
penaed the ice man and the COW, the
apothecary who sold the lemons, and
the confectioner who got up the icc-
creams. There was death in all their
tubs, or rather in the mixture that this
ordinary young person in New York
appears to have made for herself from
them all. Anybody who undertakes to
devour four and half good-sized GU
cumber pickles after day of indul~
gence among ice-creams, lemonade and
iced milk is simply inventing an infalli-
BILE form of suicide. It is rot on record
that this girl was tired of life. She had
probably gone to a good public school,
and had learned all about the primary
colors and the rules of arithmetic. But
she had not learned the chemistry of
common things, nor what sort of foods
will agree in the stomach, and what
not. A little of this sort of common
sense people are expected to pick up
for themselves. Butitis more valuable
and necessary than many other things,
musical notes. for instance, that they
are not left to pick up, but are taught
with great assiduity. The brute crea-
zion, except, perhaps, the civilized one
in the Zoo, who may be overfed and tenn
pied. seem to have it without picking up.
How to get some lessons in the public
schools that shall bring boys and girls
up to the level of the dumb animals in
this knowledge would be more profit
able subject for educational associar
tions than some of the topics discussed
last week.
The young woman in New York died
VT her folly, or appetite, or ignorance
or all three. The war of acids and ices
was as bad or worse than copper pois-
oning, in her case; and yet, for hot
days diet, any one of the articles was
good and refreshing in its way; and
the cucumber eaters would insist on the
pickles being included in the whole
some list. How to mix foods and how
10 choose diet is more important than
the choice of colors, and yet every
school girl nowadays can tell what col
ors agree together and what not. The
New York girls ignorance only took
herself out of life; but how many
mothers are there who know no better,
and who help the hot weather this sea-
son to kill their children by reckless
feeding. A sip of beer and taste of
green apple, when sick child cries for
it, or any other unsuitable food, may
stop its crying, it is true, but often in q
sad way enough-that makes the moth

The London Truth offered a prize
for the best letter, the subject to be the
refusal of an offer of marriage. The
result was an inundation nearly filing

The Polar Wave that visited shat Region,

The Polar Wave that visited that Region.
BARSEsvrLLE, May s.
Correspondence Of the Intelligsnser.
A regular polar wave passed over this
region Friday night. The ground was
frozen an inch deep, and ice was formed
one.eighth Of an inch thick. Yet we are
glad to relate that no material damage was
done to the fruit crop. Your correspon-
dent has conversed with several fruit
growers, and they unanimously agree that
SO far the fruit is safe. Probably FIVE or
ten per cent OF the early straw berries are
killed. Yet, when we consider the enor-
nifty OF the bloom, there will be as many
asthe vines can support. Apples, peaches,
pears, plums, &c, are all safe, e,and promise
an abundant yield.
The action OF the Republican State Com
vention Is cordially supported here by the
few interruptions politicians, who have for
their motto, Anything for Office" and
who know there would be no chance for
them under Sherman's administration,
the movement will be cordially supported.
Notwithstanding the fact Of the tumble
in iron, Watts Foundry is running to It's
full capacity, giving employment to more
men than any other institution in town,
and making from forty to sixty car
wheels every day, which they send to all
parts OF the United States, thereby dis
tributing hundreds OF dollars in our midst.
A part OF the committee appointed to
confer with the managers OF the 7. V. R.
r. will start in a few days to Cleveland,
where they will present certain proposi-
tions to said company, and ascertain to
what extent they will lelp the enterprise.
There will be no further action taken un-
til the committee returns.
The number OF drummers visiting our
place the past week, surely Is evidence Of
more activity among our business men, OF
which Wheeling contributes large share.
Our lightning rod men and pump men
now number near twenty persons.

CINCINNATI, May S.-The first business
before the General Conference this morn
ing was the appointment OF nine regular
standing committees, the plans presented
on Saturday having been tabled.
DIR. Curry moved the committees be ap-
pointed in the ordinary way. that is by a
call OF Conferences, the delegates from
each Conference designating from their
numbers the members Of the different
committees. This prevailed.
DR.. Smart, Of Detroit Conference, moved
that as the administration OF the Book
Concern would be under investigation by
the Book Committee, no delegate be ap-
pointed to that committee who was in any
manner officially connected with the Book
Concern, and that so far as possible lay
members with large experience in secular
affairs be appointed. After discussion this
resolution was tabled.
The Conference proceeded with the call
Of Conferences for names Of committees,
and at the adjournment at half-past twelve
o'clock had not concluded this work.

HAMBURG's LIBERTY THREATENED

that the rights and liberties Of Hamburg
are seriously threatened. Wolffsohn and
other members interpellated the govern.
ment inquiring whether Prussia be al.
lowed the enclosure of st. Paul's, within
Zolleverein, without first demanding the
consent Of the city OF Hamburg According
10 the Constitution, the government re-
piled eyasiyely. Herr scholz, under Sec
retary of the State, said that the govern
ment were not bound to reply to the
questions embodied in the Interpolation,
but he had the honor nevertheless in
name and by commission OF Bismarck to
answer. Prussia had done precisely as
was suspected. She had not previously
negotiated with Hamburg on the subject,
and she contemplated the inclusion Of st.
Paul in customs spire with or without the
consent OF Hamburg. There were facts,
he said, on the concealment OF which no
stress had been laid, but Reichskansler
must decline to enter into the discussion
OF them for the purpose OF iustifying OF
defending them from legal or other point

BERLIN, May 3-The Reichstag to-day
approved fhe extradition treaty between
Germany and Uruguay. The bill ap.
proving the provisional commercial ar.
rangement between Germany and Austria
passed the first aud second readings. The
measure was recommended by the Pleni-
potentiary OF the Bundesrath and Director
Of the Foreign Office, Herr Won Philip
Born, who said the Government hoped
that within year they would succeed
in extending to commercial matters the
understanding between Germany and
Austria, which existed in political rela-
tions. Herr Hoimann, President OF the
Imperial Chancery, pointed out that the
bill afforded basis for any future under
standing. A treaty would be OF the
highest value, even ifit tcontaiued nothing
beyond the most favored nation. The
clause presents an arrangement, which
though only provisional, contained every
thing it was possible to obtain in the
present state OF affairs.

FOREIGN GRAIN MARKET.


LONDON, May 1.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press says: 1.-THE temperature during the
past week has been exceedingly low, and
vegetation received asudden check, which
is somewhat threatening to the fruit.
Country adyices :as a rule continue.
The weather is favorable in regard to
cereal crops, though the wheat is reported
as losing color on some heavy lands, and
thin and by no means promising in few
districts. The deliveries OF English wheat
have again been light, and the business
Is confined to the best lots, which have
gone quietly into consumption ut previous
prices. Secondary qualities were but lit
tle inquired for and again received a shil-
ling per quarter.
In foreign wheat the operations Of
buyers have been paralyzed by the weight
OF the present and prospective supplies.
Business consequently moved with very
narrow limits, and although trade was
only quoted pence TO shilling lower
en- Monday, further reduction has been
necessary where sales have been procured.
1t is thought singular, considering the
light stocks held by millers, that decline
OF prices, consequent on the collapse Of
the American ling should not have been
followed by o materially increased de-
mand. The first rush TO sell is now over.
A pause has occurred during which it
would be well for both sides 10 consider
the situation.
1t is impossible to say whether the
lowest point has been reached, but 1t is
certain that few weeks Of unfavorable
weather would give spur to speculation,
for which low prices now current offer
opportunities. Maize in con-
sequence Of large shipments from America
declined in five weeks from 29s Sd to 23s
3D. per quarter. Arrivals at the ports OF
call have been very limited. Wheat dur.
ing the beginning Of the week declined,
until ASS Cd was accepted on Thursday for
red winter. Since then there has been
large demand for United Kingdom and
continent.
The closing quotations show little or no
alteration on the week. Maize sold stead.
lily at about "a shillings per quarter, the
decline being at length arrested. Wheat
for shipment was sparipgly offered, but
buyers continue reserved. The sales OF
English wheat last week were 20, ,755 quar-
Iers at 45s Cd, against 5S,937 quarters at
i0s Cd for the same period last year. The
imports into the United Kingdom for the
week ending April "a were /, ,l46, ,l27 Cwts.

Pans, May SIN the Chamber OF Depu
ties to-day Lamier, Republican and Gath
olic, introduced an interpolation con
testing the validity Of the ancient statutes
cited by the Government in support o.
DEGREES against unauthorized religious con
gregations.
The Minister of Justice, oazat, argued
that the laws were perfectly valid and
had not in any sense fallen into disuse,
but had always been enforced when the
Government OF the day considered 1t nee
essary, although various Governments had
from time TO time allowed them to remain
in abeyance either through negligence or
culpable connivance.
He held that the republic was perfectly
justified In defending itself, and the gov
ernment would therefore put in operation
the existing laws, as it was their right and
duty to do.
Cazat was warmly applauded, and the
Republican members who had intended
to speak stated that in view OF the decla.
rations OF the Minister OF Justice they
would refrain from debate.
Carny then proposed the order Of the
day, demanding the law relating to the
right OF Association to be Immediately
laid on the table.
The Government moved the order OF
the day, pure and simple, which was
adopted by 362 to 1877.
John Lenoinne, yielding to the urgent
request Of the Director OF the Journal
des Debats, has withdrawn his acceptance
of the post Of minister at Brussels.
