Rumor has it that scandal is
busy with the name of southern
senator in Washington who, it is
said, employed the services of vile
procuress to entice a young girl
employed in the treasury depart
ment to a house of i'll fame, where
he ruined her. The young lady is
alleged to have made full confess
sion to a relative who will institute
legal proceedings at once. AL
though the matter is being dis
cussed through the public press,
the name of the distinguished Sc
ducer has not been given. an omis-
sion which is so extremely unusual,
when we remember the avidity with
which the republican papers snap
up every morsel of the sort that
works to the injury of southern
congressman, that we are inclined
to discredit the whole story.

A Quiet Neighborhood.

A remarkable community is described
as perched up among the Swiss Alps-a
new Andorra in its primitiyeness. The
name Of the place is Acknowledgement,
which, being interpreted, signifies an
ut-of-the-way locality. Its people have
no standing army, and, therefore, never
go to war. They have no feet, being
hundreds of miles away from the sea in
every direction. They have no publ
cans, and consequently their elections, If
they have any, are completely pure.
They have no doctors, and there has not
been death among them for several
years. They possess no newspaper, are
vexed by the postman only once week,
do no trades, and occupy themselves
with little industry. The place is tor
mented by neither the ring of the black
smiths hammer, the fumes of the bakers
oven, the clatter OF the wheelwr1ght's
snop, nor the opportunities OF shopkeep-
ers. Nor does notary spoil parchment,
or an advocate confound justice, or po-
iceman tarry the night In all that
mountain Arcadia. A cheap jack once a
fortnight brings the good folk all they
want in the shape of sundries, their own
herds, focks and poultry-yards supply
ing them with the rest. The Abland-
scheneners, having little money, are not
blessed with bank, but they have a
church, with a single bell, which is
tinkled like railway signal at the birth
of boy, but goes into ecstasies at that
of girl. It was wrong to reveal the
secrets of this Alpine Utopia, because
tourists will be finding it out and vul-
garize it, as they have vulgarized Enga-
dine. But, as the French say, "Noth-
ing is sacred to sapper," and so moth
ing can be kept out Of the grlide-books
now. Hence the acknowledgements may
before long have to establish an hotel
and even policeman.

How WOOd.Pulp is Made.

So much is said about the wood
pulp which is extensively used in the
manufacture of paper that brief de-
scription of the process Of making it
will be interesting. Any white, soft
wood may be used The bark is taken
off, the knots and dark and decayed
spots cut out. It is then put into a
large cauldron and boiled, which ex-
tracts all the glutinous matter and
resin, and renders it soft. It is then
put on q large stone grinder, with water
pouring on it all the time. The grind
Stone wears off the fibers until they are
finer than sawdust, which float away
into receptacle. The water is drained
off by means off fine sieve, leaving the
pulp, which consists of a fine fuzz or
splinters of wood 1t is white, and re-
qllres no bleaching, but is ready to be
mixed with rag-pulp, or anything else
that has strong fiber, and receive the
proper constituents to make paste, after
which it is run off into paper sheets;
whereas rags have to be washed and
bleached with chloride of lime, soda ash
and alum, and such strong chemicals,
to take out the color. Then they are
picked to pieces and made into pulp.
The process by which wood-pulp is made
is purely mechanical. 1t can be made
very cheap-say at about cent a pound.

Havanas Made from Straw Paper.

The great conundrum in the Cuban
trade, "What becomes of all the straw
paper?" is easily solved. It is satu-
rated in o decoction made from the
stems and refuse of the choice Havana
seed leaf, and, when properly treated
with favoring extracts, icorice root,
SIENNA, etc., makes filing for cigars.
Besides, it burns with pure white ash
precisely like that of the genuine leaf,
unlike that yielded by any other mate
rial. Specimens of prepared paper are
described as closely resembling the leaf
in appearance, taste and flavor. The
small particles of rye which remain in
the straw and are ground up with the
pulp, being of an oily nature, do not
take the dye, and look like the whitish
mold of real leaf. Among other vir-
tues it is claimed that the lime used in
bleaching the paper neutralizes the eff
fects of nicotine, so that no improve
ment seems possible in the use of straw
in cigar making, except that it may be
to leave out the tobacco altogether.
Cofee-makers succeed In making people
prefer chiccory and beans to any other
mixture, and why should not rye straw
excel in making ''the weed" The OBJ
lection offered against the use of rye
paper at home is that it would not be
"genuine.

Display in Housekeeping.

The woman who boasts of her excess
i've neatness is not the most commend
able of housewives. We have little con-
fidence in that neatness which is prac-
ticed with flourish of trrlmpets. We
have had occasion to know that dis
play, an effort to call attention OF every
one to wonderful labors and SURPRISING
neatness resulting therefrom, IS very
likely to be found after all not more than
an outside show. The work that Is too
loudly blazoned will seldom bear rigid
examination. That which is done thor
oughly, but quietly, is the work that has
unassailable foundations, and is perfect
~ finished in every department. With
the pleasant consciousness that every
thing in her house Will bear examina
ton, the mistress of the family need
have no fears. Guests who may come to
her Unexpectedly will not disturb her
equanimity. She is well assured that
the home machinery is in perfect work
ing order, that there need be no uneasi-
ness or excitement. She knows her table,
however simply provided, will be neat,
and the food which is to be set before
her husband will be the best she can af-
ford. What is good enough for him who
furnishes the means of providing is good
enough for any guest, however henored.
Unexpected guests may increase the la
Dor, but not materially; and the hostess
is able to devote time and thought to
their entertainment.

Good Ont of Evil.

God is kinder to bad men than they
are to themselves. Often He surprises
their evil intention with unexpected
good, and shames them into repentance
with blessing.
An Arabian vine-dresser in time Of
war was drafted into the Turkish army,
and forced away from his peaceful home
in the mountains to life of hardship
and violence. Rough experience and
example soon made him like all the rest
of the Mussulman soldiers, ferocious,
reckless, and insensible to any higher
duty than fighting and plundering.
While the troops with which he
served were out on one of their destroy
ing expeditions, they entered a district
inhabited by people whom the Turks
considered their political enemies, and
attacked Christian village. The terri
fed families fed, and the invaders ram
sacked their houses seizing everything
they could carry away. The Arabian
soldier was fond of books, and took care
to secure several with his other booty,
paying no particular attention to what
they contained.
It happened that one of the books was
a Bible. He found little opportunity to
read till the excitements of camp and
field were over but whenhe was allowed
to go home he took the stolen Bible with
him, and as soon as he had examined it
felt interested enough In it to read it
through.
No doubt the rightful owners, while
they mourned their other losses, prayed
that the Good Book might reform the
thief who took it away. Certainly such
q wish could not have been more happily
realized.
The man continued to read with in
creased attention, and as he went on he
said, ''This books better than the Koran. +"
From wondering at the book he began
to wonder at himself. His conscience
was awakened, for he learned all about
his own heart. The Bible showed him
his guilt and led him to penitence; and
then it taught him to pray, and to whom
to pray. He bowed to the Redeemer
revealed in the New Testament, and
acknowledged Him as the Friend whom
he needed
His family were enraged when they
knew that he had ''turned Christian, !"
and their reproaches and prosecutions
made his home house of torment. His
neighbors hated him for an ''apostate, I"
and insulted and denounced him, and
even mobbed him in the street, and des-
troyed his vineyard and fruit trees. The
poor man was social outcast; but it was
for the sake of religion whose blessings
more than paid him for all earthly spoil
ing and shame. Nothing could shake
his heroic faith. When he was in his
extremity the kindness of an English
Protestant minister gave him employ
ment, and refuge which no Mussulman
dared to violate.
At the writing Of this sketch-three
years from the time when he began to
read that stolen Bible-the prosecuted
Arabian vine dresser is a Christian
preacher In Syrian village on Mt.
Lebanon, and pastor Of church which
numbers among its members many of
those who were once his bitterest reyilers.

The Good of Latin Tor Druggists.

The advantages which accrue to drug
gists through the use of abbreviated
Latin in prescriptions received good
illustration in Boston, the other day. A
young man went into a druggist shop
and handed the clerk a prescription, on
which few grains of chloride of zinc In
a pint of water was ordered in regular
prescription form. The total cost at re-
tail was probably about a cent, but the
druggist unblushingly asked for Is.
When demonstrated with for charging
SO much for putting up prescription,
the ingredients and cost of which were
named to him, he answered that he did
not suppose the customer could read the
prescription, and, as he could, only 10
cents would be charged. In this state
of affairs it becomes advisable to learn
to read prescriptions.

False Teeth in Court.

A very funny thing happened in
Judge Thayer's court yesterday. A
lawyer asked for rule to bring lady
into court to let jury see that her false
teeth-which her husband wouldn't pay
for because he said they don't fit-do fit.
He didn't want the lady to say anything,
because that might be testifying against
her husband; he just wanted her to
stand in front of the jury and take out
her teeth and put them back again, and
perform few similar tricks, just to
show what a perfect job the dentist had
made of it. Judge Thayer very sensi-
bly, and very promptly took the conceit
out of the whole business, by deciding
that this would be testimony against
her husband; that it would be tortur-
ing the lady, and he had no power to
do anything of the sort. Almost all
kinds of exhibitions occur in courts, but
the line must be drawn somewhere, and
Judge Thayer draws it at false teeth
