LORD BRoUGHAM'S ODD NosE.-When l
was young man my avocations led me
frequently to Lincoln's Inn. | would drop
occasionally in at the Chancery Court. and
have look at Lord Brougham as he sat
leaning backward, with his eyes closed,
listening to the endless droning and drum
ming of the lawyers mounting, or rather
mumbling, their interminable pleas At
first sight his lordship appeared to be
asleep, but close inspection would show
you that the muscles at the tip of his nose
were in state of rapid and continual
agitation. There was no motion of the
nostrils, not the least, but an unceasing
vibration of the small muscles terminating
the organ, reminding me strongly of a cap
tive rabbit nosing at the wires of his
hutch. Having once remarked it, l natu-
rally looked for it at each opportunity, and
never missed seeing it save when his lord
ship was visibly occupied with the business
before him, either questioning counsel or
witnesses or addressing the Court OF
course he was not asleep when he lay back
with closed eyes; indeed, it was well
known that at such times he was wide
awake, and thoroughly mastered the bust
ness In hand. Though his lordship's ac-
cornplishnent, if 1t was one, is by no
means common, it is not so rare as might
be supposed, and / believe that many per-
sons possess and exercise it without, so far
as one can Judge from observation alone,
being conscious of it.-IThe Leisure Hour.

TIE EUCALYPTUS AND PINE.

At recent meeting of the Social Science
Congress, at Manchester, England, Mr.. c.
II. Kingzett read an interesting paper on
the subject of the above title before the
health section of that body. He referred
to the old theory that the admitted san
itary powers of the fever-tree" were due
to its drainage properties, and held that
this hypothesis lacked evidence, and even
at its best was of negative character. He
argued that the superiority of the euca-
lyptus as means of drainage would be
measured by the proportion in which its
rate of growth exceeds that of other trees,
and affirmed that this was quite inadequate
to account for its extraordinary fever-de-
stroying properties. Other trees planted
in malarial districts do not free them from
the disease, from which the author infers
the action of the eucalyptus is of positive
type. The conclusion to which he comes
is, that the eucalyptus, and also the pine,
exert beneficial influence in virtue of the
volatile emanations arising from them. He
finds that eucalyptus dmygdalinG yields
from to pounds of oil from 100 pounds
of its leaves and that this oil is practically
identical in composition with the oil of
turpentine derived from pine trees, and
with most of the so-called essential oils
or perfumes These oils, when submitted
to the action of atmospheric oxygen and
moisture, produce peroxide of hydrogen
and number of camphoraceous SUBJ
stances having decided antiseptic proper
ties. He makes calculation to show the
enormous amount of these emanations.
Taking, for example, New South Wales
and South Australia, he shows that the
eucalyptus forests of these districts con-
tain, at any given moment, sufficient oil in
their leaves (ready to be given off into the
atmosphere by the agency of warm wiuds)
to form by contact with the atmosphere
over 80, 900, 600 tons of peroxide of hydro
gen, and over 507, 900, 600 tons of cam
phoraceous principles. From the exalted
oxidizing power of peroxide of hydrogen,
which greatly exceeds that of ordinary
oxygen, and the readiness with which sub
stances of animal and vegetable origin are
oxydized, and from the well-known anti
septic properties of the camphoraceous
substances above named, Mr.. Kingzett con-
cludes that the sanitary virtue of the
eucalyptus must, without doubt, be
aseribed to the active chemical operation
of its emanations What is true of euca-
lyptus must also be true of the pine, and
on an immensely larger scale, since pine
forests are widely distributed over both
hemispheres, and the oil of turpentine,
which is a natural product of the pine,
undergoes the same chemical changes in the
atmosphere as the oil of eucalyptus.

A PAINFUL MISTAKE.

NJ. S. had been elected Mayor of his
Commune, and was able to celebrate his
nomination, inviting the Sub-Prefect, at
that moment on a tour of inspection, to
dine with him. Immense preparations
were being made for days before the din
ner, so as to receive the representative of
the Republic with becoming dignity. Mad
anne would not trust to her own domestic
arrangements. She secured the services of
a frst-class maitre d'hotel, who was to
come over and wait at table in black, with
white tie, gloves, etc. The suspicious mo-
ment arrived, but not the major domo, on
whom the mistress of the house had
counted. Like Sister Anne, she stood
watching the road, hoping that the man
would arrive before her guests. The Pre-
feet came, and was received with great
ceremony. About ten minutes afterwards
the side door leading into the house from
the courtyard opened and gave admission
to a stranger in black, orthodox white tie,
etc. Madame rushed forward to meet him,
and, thinking he was the missing butler,
chided him for having kept them all wait
ing. To her intense displeasure he offered
her his arm, begging to be excused for the
uCldy Hetu OCCuIISu,
her for having come out to meet him.
She lost her patience, thrust him into the
dining-room, pushed table napkin under
his arm, told him the other servants would
come and help him, and enjoined him,
when all was ready, to throw open the
folding doors and announce the dinner.
The stranger, who had no time to put in
an explanatory word, took the napkin me-
chemically, while the lady founced out of
the room, thinking matters had come to a
pretty pass when servants presumed to Of
fer an arm to their mistress. The bewil-
dered stranger wasted patiently until Mile.
Victoire, who had been told off to assist
him, came into the room dressed in her
very best. He asked her to open the door
of the salon and announce him as secre-
tary of the functionary in honor of whom
the dinner had been organized. Victoire
obeyed, and when the company had their
eyes fixed on the open door, the secretary,
remembering his lesson, came forward and
announced that the dinner was ready.
Madame's confusion may be more easily
imagined than described She beat hasty
retreat, leaving her husband to make suit
able apologies, but she has been heard to
tell her intimate friends that the mistake
was quite comprehensive, as no one would
ever have imagined that such common
looking person as the secretary could ever
have held a responsible position.-[Globe.

FIRE SCREEN FOR FORCES. -The intense
heat to which men working in FORCES and
furnaces are exposed is often more exhaust
ing than their labor, and various kinds of
guards and fire-screens have been tried
with more or less effect. a new form of
screen, or apron, recently brought out,
employs two large sheets of thin metal riv-
eted together at the edges and leaving a
narrow space between them. To the top
is fastened hose that brings cold water to
the apron, completely filling it, while sec
ond hose conveys away the water from the
bottom In operation the apron is kept
constantly filed with running water that
absorbs all the heat, making an effective
guard against the fire and materially cool
ing the air of the place. The apron is hung
by chains from an overhead railway, so
that it can be moved away when not
needed. 1t is also quite flexible, and may
be bent or pushed one side by hand, as the
work requires. The water escapes from
the apron quite hot, and may be used for
h'oiler feed water or for other purposes
about the works.

A CORRESPONDENT suggests W..
e. F. Milburn, Esq, of Greene
vile, as Republican candidate for
Congress in the First District, and
says Of him:
He Is personally and favorably
known to the larger portion OF the
district. There was q strong DISPOSE
ton and considerable move made to
nominate him four years ago, but be
declined TO allow his name to be put
before the Convention. That influence
has spread, and wherever he is known,
the people are pressing his claims to
the race, and insisting on his nomina-
ton. NE
"As to bis personal qualifications,
they can not be excelled. He is in the
prime of manhood, able and willing to
work, He is thoroughly educated,
and is a self made man. His energy,
perseverance, and ability are all shown
by the fact that, after coming
out of the war, he devoted
every effort and resource at bis
command to- educate himself, and
after ten years struggle, succeeded.
He graduated with high hOnors from
the University atAthens, and taught
there several years. He also studied
and took post graduate course and a
degree at the University of Michigan,
at Ann Arbor. He is a native East
TenneRseean, and ia thoroughly in
sympathy with the desires ana necesi-
ties OF our people. He was born and
raised in Green county. ~
I'm 1862, though but q boy, he ct.
listed in the Federal army and served
faithfully till its close. He was a
brave and gallant soldier and was con
siderably promoted in his command.
ana uuwaverihg 'rSepbnaltas,, '.sl'G oh
still as true as steel. His whole record,
his character, personally, politically,
socially and morally, is unblemished.
Sober and industrious, he has always
won the esteem OF those who knew
him.
He read law with Col. w. H.
Bryant, of Athens, Tenn, and prac-
ticed there for a few years, until be
returned to his native country and i.
now located at Greenville.'

TIE CHICAGO NOMINEE.

The CHRONICLE will give the
nominee of the Chicago Convention
a hearty support, whoever he may
be. If it is Grant, so be it. His
brilliant military record is one Of
which every American citizen feels
proud. He stands without supe-
rior in ancient or modern times.
He possesses all the boldness and
genius of Napoleon, without Ma
poleon's unhallowed ambition. As
President Of the United States
for two terms, embracing one
of the most trying periods
in our history, although he went
into Office without experience in
civil affairs, he retired with the con-
fdence of all the people. -
Should it be James G.. Blaine,
the Henry Clay Of the Republican
party, we would work and vote for
his election, with an enthusiasm
born of knowledge of our leaders
character and go forward with the
full belief that victory would be
ours. YET 6E @gMsT9 "a
If John Sherman should be
the man, we could hold
up his able and eour-
ageous administration of the
affairs of the Treasury Depart
ment, and point to that.as furnish
ing abundant reasons for trusting
him in the White House. There
are others whom we would support
with enthusiastic pleasure.
But in our opinion, no man in
the Republican party deserves bet
ter of the country, and no one who

might be mentioned at Chicago
could be more acceptable to the
American people than Hon. q. i.
Washburne, of Illinois. His long
service in the House of Repre-
sentatives, where he earned
the soubriquet of the swatch
dog of the Treasury" stands
out conspicuously before the
country for its craftsmanship His
record is absolutely without stain,
and no charge casting even a
shadow over his integrity, as a pri-
vate or public man, could be made
for a single moment, without carry~
ing the lie on its face, with
every intelligent person. His con"
duct while representing the United
States at Paris, during the Franco
Prussian war, was such as to
endear him to all Ger
mans, of whatever political party.
He is deservedly the most popular
man in the Union with the German
element of our population. II
nominated, no power on earth could
prevent his election, and when
elected he would make a capital
President.
