BRONZE STATUARY.-I lately clipped
the following from Boston paper:
An old lady from New Bedford
visited Boston recently, for the first
time, and, while viewing the attrac.
tions of the Public Garden, was pointed
out the bronze statue of Charles Sum
ner. We'll, I do declare, the old lady
remarked. I never knew Sumner was
a colored man BEFORE"
1t seems to me that TIE old lady here
mentioned perpetrated far mora truth
than joke. If the same remark had
been made by another class of ildivid
uais, it might have been quoted AS a
bitter sarcasm. DO not all your bronze
statues represent their subjects as "col-
ored menu" When metallic statue
has been exposed to the atmosphere u

Varying the Flavor of Meats,

MIR. Monclar, noted agriculturist in
France, has suggested singular plan
for varying the flavor OF meat. He
imagines that by feeding cattle, sheep.
pigs ard poultry in a particular way.
or rather by havoring their foods in
various ways, their flesh Lazy be rem
dered much more agreeable to the pal
ate than it often is; and there can be no
doubt that he is substantially right.
Thus, for instance. it is we'll known
that poultry which have been fattened
upon food containing q slight mixture
OF chopped truffies are far better eating
than those chickens which have been
stuffed Or larded with trufiles after they
are killed. 1t is only natural that such
should be the case; for the flavor of the
truflle that is consumed by the chicken
permeates the whole system, which it
cabnot 60 when simply placsd in the
carcass. NJ. Monclar instances cases in
which haros killed in NORWOOD field
larhs shot i'll a cabbage field, ana eggs
laid by hens which had eaton diseased
eilk Norm, hNi such nauseous taste
thai 10 che ccuid touch them; Wilde
upon the other han some ducks and
ieli-fatcS which ha lei upon some
sprigs Of Juniper had a delicious flavor
He has made several experiments,
among others thri upon tame rabbits,
which he fed with the waste of anise
seed, with barley and bran containing O.
little epsence of thyme. In each can be
foTId that the flesh of These animals
WAS far better eating than that Of rab-
bits fattentd in the ordinary Way. and
yet that there was no trace of anise seed
or juniper i'll the taste. His conclusion
Is that cattle, sheep and pigs might be
FED III the same way, and that by vary
ing the ilavoriDg matter the beef, NUT
ton and pork might be made to have
several different tastes. Chicago Times.

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the excellencies OF
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delioacy in such Q
way that its strong detersive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result OF years OF
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such q manner AZ to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Rvery
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingr0dd-
ents which are IN themselves bone-
fetal to the skin cannot be saPCni-
fed some are partially neutraEsed,
while others injure the quality OF
the soap. There are soaps In the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they arc
inferior articles for toilet uso.
PHOSPHATE SOAP IL the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best elements OF
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.

From Popularity to ScOrn.

Popularity is like Jonah's gourd. 1t
sprouts up one day and withers the
next. The career of Nicholas Biddle,
President of the Bank of the United
States, illustrates this truism. Fifty
years ago he was the most popular man
in our commercial circles. When he
walked the streets Of Philadelphia every
hat was raised to do him honor. Mer.
chants, bankers, spectators, watched
his slightest acts as though they were
so many outstretched fingers pointing
the way to fortune.
"Old Hickory" President Jackson's
pet name, thought he had cudselled
the bank to death. Mr.. Biddle made
it State bank and launched forth into
colossal speculation. He bought
cotton in such large quantities as would
give him control of the markets OF Eu-
rope. The scheme would have put
millions into the iron vaults of the bank,
but for ore unforeseen event. The
English harvest failed and the con-
sumption Of cotton fell from 5000
bales per week to 5000 bales.
The bad harvest ruined the bank, and
pldngrd hundreds int bankruptcy, and
made Alr. Biddle the best-abused man
in the country. Men turned their eyes
SO as not to see him. Others greeted
him with scornful looks or with NUT
tered curses. For time he held
his head as erect as when he was the
autocrat of finance. But public scsrn.
at last, did its work.
The man whose nod had been influ
entail bowed, dropped his head, and re.
tired in the recesses OF a country house
to die broken hearted.

A Small Matter.

THE Vicksburg Commercial does not
understand, or is disengenous enough tc
pretend not to understand, the language
of THE CLARION in reference to Gen
Georges grafton on Gov. Brown. Here
it is:
The address of Hon. j. z. George
commemorative of his life and ser
vices, is printed on our first page Nc
one familiar with the character and
history of Gov. Brown, can fail to see
that it is what its author intended, a
true portrayal of him, in style as
appropriate as the language in which it
is done, would admit The author kneu
every attribute and aspiration ofthe iUustri-
Ous man he essayed to describe It acas q
labor of lore and of patriotic duty, and he
performed 1t WITH THE HAND OF MAS
TER.
The words in italics and small CAPT
tails are omitted in the extract which
the Commercial makes as a target for
its sarcasm, or criticism, or whatever is
designed by its comment. 1t is unneces-
sary to say to any other reader but the
editor of the Commercial, that the idea
intended to be expressed by The CLAIR
ION was that the address was an accu-
rate portraiture of the deceased states
man; so striking that the English Ian
guage does not afford words for making
it better. We would be distressed to
think that any one but the editor of the
Commercial could construe our simple
language into an equivocal allu-
sion to an address which so faithfully
and well commentaries the services
and character of the illustrious Missis-
sippian.

The Next Congress.

Says the Washington correspondent
of the N. Y. Sun:
As there will be no struggle for the
Speakership of the next House to stir the
ambitious and arouse the ire of the Demo
cratic leaders, the brethren may be expected
to work together in greater harmony than
ever before Mr. Randall will be recognized
as the Democratic leader. He will be ably
assisted by ex-Gov. 4. G. Curtin and
Morgan L. Wise, of Pennsylvania, Messrs.
Hewitt, Wood, Cox, Bliss, and Hutchins Of
New York: Carlisle, Blackburn, and Knott
of Kentucky; Herbert, of Alabama Phelps
of Connecticut; Blount, of Georgia; Spring
er, Sparks, and Morrison, of Illinois; Hol
man and Cobb, of Indiana; Gibson, Of
Louisiana McLane, of Maryland; Buck
ner and Allen of Missouri; Geddes, of Ohio
Whitthorne and Atkins, of Tennessee; Rea
gan, of Texas; Tucker, of Virginia; and
Bragg of Wisconsin. The gentlemen above
named have, with few exceptions, had long
experience in the House. They are not
alone familiar with legislative methods, but
possess a range of information on political
and economic questions which few public
men of the present day can equal. For at
tention to details in Congress, Messrs, Hol-
man, Bount, Whitthorne, Atkins, and
Bragg have each won a reputation. Messrs-
Carlisle, Knott, McLane, and Tucker are
able constitutional lawyers. Cox, Hewitt,
Springer, Randall, Tucker, Carlisle, Her
bert, McLane, Blackburn, and Curtain are
ready debaters Messrs. Bliss, Singleton,
Tucker, Blackburn, and Phelps are person
ally popular, and exercise a great deal oil
influence in private.

Death of a Remarkable Woman.

Lucretia Mott, one of the first women
Intellectually, that America has pro-
duced, died recently near Philadelphia,
aged Lightweight years Woman as
she was, she was largely instrumental in
creating the public sentiment which
finally culAinated in the war between
the sections and the abolition of slavery.
Opinions may differ in regard to her
merits as sectional agitator and fanat-
ic, but there is one thing in her history,
for which all fair-minded persons will
unite in awarding her praise. Learn
ing, while at school, that the charge for
the education of girls was the same az
that for boys, and that, when they be-
came teachers, women received about
half as much as men for their services,
the injustice of this was so apparent that
she early resolved to claim for her sex
all that an impartial Creator had be-
slowed, and she never abandoned her
work for reformation in that behalf.

Hon. John F. II. Claiborne.

In this number, we have reproduced
from the West Point News "A sketch ofthe
life of Hon j. F. H. Claiborne, journal
list, historian, scholar and statesman.
This country has never produced a more
perfect master of the English language,
nor more fluent and graceful writer.
1t is not exaggerating to say that his
pen ornaments whatever it touches.
His fund of historical information is won
derful, and his knowledge of the men of
his times and of contemporaneous
events, is unequaled. Great as is his
distinction as writer, it will be vastly
enlarged by his History of Mississippi,
the first volume of which is in the
hands of the binder and-will be given to
the public in few days. While Col.
Claiborne has written much of other
men and given them fame and promo
ton, he has said but little of himself,
and the readers of his works, particu-
larly the young, will naturally have a
desire to know something of the earlier
life and inner history of their author.
This desire will, in some measure, be
grati6ed by the sketch on our first page.

THE following statement of principles
was adopted by conference of repre-
sentatives of the agricultural and COM
mercial interests of the State of New
York which took place at Saratoga
recently for the purpose of adopting
measures to secure reforms in the trans
portation system, and to remedy abuses,
the existence of which is not confined TO
that State:
1--WE believe that railroads as public high
ways and common carriers should base their
charges upon cost and risk of service and
that no fayoritism, either as between indi-
viduals or communities, should be tolera-
ted Created by the State to exercise the
States function of furnishing public high
ways, and under the express provision oil
the law, that when capital actually invested
by the builders had been fairly compensated
the rest Of the advantages resulting from
the invention of railroads should accrue to
the public in the shape of reduced charges
for transportation, ETC., etc.
eve believe that the use of money by
railroad managers, as expressed by a com
mittee of the New York Legislature, 'to
purchase the election of the peoples repre-
sentatives,' is a practice which brings to the
front the venal and least worthy element in
politics, discourages honest and independ.
ent legislation, destroys the purity of our
elections, and tends to undermine our sy.-
tenn of Government"
The Committee on Resolutions also
reported a series of questions to candi-
dates for the next Legislature, which,
after discussion and some modification,
were adopted, as follows:
''First. Will you, if elected, favor the
enactment of laws compelling railroads to
base their charges upon the cost and risk OF
service, instead of the new theory enunci-
ated by the railroad managers, what the
traffic will bear of which question trans
porters are now sole judges ?"
Second. VIII you, if elected, favor the
enactment of laws prohibiting favoritism
and unjust Determinations, through secret
rates or otherwise p
"Third. Will you, if elected, favor the
enactment of a law establishing Board OF
Railroad Commissioners, to see that the
laws relating to common carriers are execu-
ted, and to stand between the railroads and
those whose interests compel them to use
them ?"
