A Tenor Who Only Cried.

Mark Twain tells this story in his re-
Gently published book:
The English,speaking German gentle
man who went with me to the opera was
trimming with enthusiasm over the
tenor. He said -,
"Ach Goh! n great man! You shall
see him. He is SO celebrated in all Ger
many and he has pension, yes, from
the Government. He not obliged to
sing, now, only twice every year; but RI
he not sing twice each year, they take
him his pension away"
Very well, we went. When the re-
nowncdold tenor appeared, gotta nudge
and an excited whisper:
"Now you see him?'
But the "celebrated" was an astonish-
ing disappointment to me. If he had
been behind a screen should have sup

the whole house-until the afflicted
tenor had come three times before the
curtain to make his bow. While the
glowing enthusiast was swabbing with
perspiration from his face, said:

Adulterated Food.

II is enough to shake our confidence
in human nature to find that there
are men who, for the sake of gain, will
bring torture and death, not only to
their fellow beings, but upon meek de-
fenselcss animals that patiently wear out
their lives in our service. Not long
since an English paper announced that
in Manchester many horses have died
after intense suffering. The cause OF
death was Investigated, and it was found
that the dealer who supplied the food
with which the horses had been fed had
added quantity of plaster of paris to
give it additional weight, and that this
plaster with the food and water formed
asoid mass which completely INSTRUCTED
the passage through the stomach and
intestihcs. 1t is well known in our own
country that there are manufacturers
vino sell clay for red pepper, alum for
cream of tartar, and who deal out de.
struction to little children in the form of
candies made from glucose and kaolin,
and covered with vermilion. 1t is high
time something were done to abate, If not
abolish, these abuses Legislation seems
powerless to do so, and the only way APP
pears to he to expose these fraudulent
practices and instruct the people how to
escape them The counterfeit which ia
to day doing the greatest and most wide
spread mischief is the substitution of
alum for cream of tartar. In certain in
stances, alum, when taken into the
stomach, has acted as poison, and many
cases of death have occurred from it.
Its repeated contact, even in small guam
titles, acts destructively on mucuous
membranes, producing chronic irrta-
ton Of the throat, stomach and intesti-
nal canal, The most painful and obsti-
nate cases of dyspepsia have been caused
bycontinued use of food containing alum.
We formerly advised people to obtain
pure materials and make their own bak-
ing powders; buC VIC found from expert
ence that this was impracticable for the
reason that it is difficult to find pure
cream of tartar, and still more difficult
to combine the materials in the proper
proportions, if we had them pure. We
conclude, therefore, that the safest plan,
and the most economical, is to purchase
baking powders that are made by reliable
manufacturers. There are few reliable
concerns of this kind; but recent investi
cations indicate that there are ten that
aiulterate their goods to one that sells q
pure article. We recently purchased in
n neighboring city, for examination, one
pound of loose baking powder that is
not canned and four cans of one pound
each, of different makers, whose goods We
knew nothing about. We found the
package of loose baking powder composed
wholly of crude carbonate of soda, Oh

Colonel Scott and General Pope.

Colonel Scott is one of the few men
who have not been hurt in morals or in
manners by remarkable prosperity. In
all the positions he has occupied, he has
always been quiet and modest to an en-
emplary degree. When he was Assistant
Secretary of War, and visited the South
west during the Rebellion, he was fire.
auently mistaken for hanger-on in the
army on account of those very qualities.
He had occasion, in 1862, | think, to
visit General Pope at his headquarters
in New Madrid, Mo. General Pope, as
everybody knows, is greatly addicted to
profanity and violence of manner, and
was particularly so addicted at that
time. Colonel Scott entered the head
quarters with the remark: /" should
like to see General Pope on business"
"See my Adjutant" roared out Pope.
"My business is with General Pope in
person"
"Blank, blank your business; see my
Adjutant, tell you"
My name is Scott, and"

tion as he said in the blandest manner,

intention to be rude, but there are SO
many loafers in camp, and they annoy
me so much, that am sometimes put out
of temper. BE good enough to take n
seat, and have the kindness to inform
me of your wishes" Colonel Scott en-
tered at once upon the business in hand,
making no reference whatever to Pope's
outrageous behavior, though it is fair to
presume that his forbearance and ret
icence taught the insolent General 3

A POPULAR Mistake Corrected.

Getting married is not altogether the
onc-sidcd affair that some people nave
supposed. The popular idea that all the
young women are just crazy to marry
anybody that will come along, and that
the reason they don't get married is be-
cause nobody will ask them, seems to be
mistaken one. A st. Louis girl and
st. Louis girl is as apt to have good
sense as any girl-has been making cal
culaiions which are of much interest
Young men who now have their power
full intelects centcred upon the subject
of fashionable pantaloons and the new
est shade in neckties might contemplate
the matter with some profit it they make
their minds reach around it.
The ST. Louis young woman IS IKE
most other young women in complaining
of the scarcity of manageable young
men, but she has some reason about 1t.
She figures out that she knows perhaps
loo young men, in round numbers. VI
these she thinks shc knows about thirty
intimately, and of these thirty there are
not more than four whom she would
consent to marry for love or money on
the spur of the moment. 1t may not be
pleasant way of putting it, but what
she says is that, taking n 100 young
men as they come and so, only one out Ct
every twenty-five can be set down as UNI
Objectionable and able to make a living
for himself and wife. This is an awfu
thing for those other twenty-four young
men to think of, and it is not necessar,
for one to be altogether a philosopher tt
suspect that the st. Louis girl is abou
right. s!he is evidently tired hearing
the endless complaints about the useless
ness of the average young woman wheT
she knows that the average young maj
is quite as much out of place in thi
world. In fact, a useless young woman
does stand chance ofgrowing up some
thing or another, lbut II useless young mai
doesn't do that even by any sort of &C

Female Vigilantes.

A Young woman from twenty miles
below here brings news OF terrible
crime committed by some women in the
neighborhood of the Brady farm. A
woman, poor, miserable outcast, on
the verge of the grave, had taken shelter
in cabin on the Brady farm. An over
virtuous fema'e, accompanied by hef
sister and girl of a pretty hard repu-
tation, went to the cabin to run the poor
creature off from the settlement. enc,
having heard the threats made by thie
trio against her life, crawled out OF the
cabin into hollow log which lay near;
The party went to the cabin, threw on
the roof, and deliberately tore down the
house, log at time. When they had
succeeded in demolishing the cabin, they
began a search in the woods adjoining
for the recent inmate, and succeeded IN
discovering her retreat in the log. The
elder lady wanted to take some ant
powder and blow up the log, but the
other two insisted on mas ing her come
out and leave. So they told her Il she
would come out and leave lmmedisteI!
they would let her go, but If she dld no'
they would cover her all over WITH Iai
and set her on fire and burn her ai,sS.

stiff Hats,

Yes. nv Young friend, that stiff hat is
very becoming and all that, but you
wear it as though you imagined it was
the first stiff hat that was ever worn,
This is a mistake, and ] advise you as
friend to eradicate the idea at once be-
fore it becomes chronic and seriously
complexities the other diseases with
which you are already suffering.
When you were passing through the
hiccough period Of your existence, and
was being RECALLED with catnip tea, sooth'
ing syrup, and other infantile beverages,
the stih' hat was an old grey-headed
patriarch. When your father was boy,
playing short stop in the Big joints,
away down East" the stiff hat had its
banner on the outer wall of civilization
When his fathers father, your g eat
great grandfather on your fathers side
was roofing around in the dirt for the
peg that some mumble-ty-peg champion
had clinched on the granite base OF his
native State, the stiff hat was hanging on
the hickory peg behind the door Of every
well-regulated home from the Andres
coggin to the Mississippi
And before that, away back when
Susan b. Anthony was girl, the stiff
hat had, by its beauty, and its habits OF
falling down whenever hung up, en-
deared itself to the long suffering, but
forgiving people of this country. So you
see YOU are not introducing new style
exactly. 1t is possible your way of
wearing it on the side of the head, may
be new 1t is an historical fact that your
ancestor wore his hat squarely on the
top of his head. But he had an advan-
tage over you. His head was so full of
brains he could tell just where to find
them every time, but you with your big
head and thimble full of brains, have to
coax them just wherever they happen to
be, as they rattle around from your
bump of self-csteem, to the place where
your bump of reverence would be if you
had one.
The habits of the stiff hat are the
same as they were in the beginning, are
now, and shall be yesterday, to-day and
next Wednesday, time without end
until the repeal of the tax on print
paper. When you went out calling last
week, and in your embarrassment triec
to hang your hat on the corner OF the
clothes bar, and it rolled Oft on the stove
and from there to the floor, and brought
up in pan where couple of chickens
were being brought up on bottle, YOU
thought such behavior was new to tina
breed of hats but no, history is fairly
streaked with the irregularities of the
stiff hat.

A FEW weeks ago President and Mrs.
Hayes went to Mount Vernon, and
passed the night there, sleeping in the
bed formerly used by George and Martha
Washington. A good deal of fun was
had when the TACT got out, but the
custodian 'of the property at Mount
Vernon says that it is the usual thing
for Presidents to do. Lincoln, Grant,
johnson, Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore
and Tyler, he says, have all slept in
Washington's bed, and he supposes that
other Presidents have, but that is as far
as his memory runs. Some of the Presi-
dents named occupied the bed several
nights during, their term Of office, and
President Pierce was in the habit of go
ing to Mount Vernon to pass the night
very of:en during the summ'r.
