This amazing book has already sold 5O,000 copies as a reprint, and still M. Charpentier, it's fortunate publisher, is called upon for more as fast as they can be produced, although the work has already appeared in the feuilleton of a popular newspaper. Edition after edition has succeeded each other with such startling rapidity that copies of the first issue are con- sidered literary curiosity, and can only be obtained at an advance of nearly 50 per cent. on their original publishing price. An edition in France does not indeed, mean quite as much as an edition in England, but still, when every possible exaggeration has been accounted for the fact remains that there has been no such literary success as that which M. Zola has attained within the present generation in France-that is to say, no work of any other author has sold SO rapidly or been so much talked about Even M. Victor Hugo, in the full strength of his genius, has never been able to address more than section, a considerable section, but still g section of his ceuntrymen. M !Alexandre Dumas and M. Octave Feuiliet have still smaller public; and the readers of M De Montepin and of M. Belot are limited, though not perhaps in the same degree. But M Zola has become all at once a universal man. His writings read as eagerly in the kitchens and in the tap-rooms of the lowest tayerns as they are in the drawing-rooms of the fine ladies who inhabit the hotels of the grand Faabourgs, and in the closets of philos- ophers.

The law recently passed by the South Car olina Legislature, which even made the off ciating clergyman criminal when uniting a white and 8 negro in marriage, and the utter failure of the attempt to repeal the mlscege- nation law of Virginia have revived discus sion of the subject of miscegenation. We commend the following, from the Philadel- phia North American, to the attention of our readers |" Laws against miscegenation are unconstitutional, and conflict with the Civil Rights bill. A white citizen has as much right to marry a negro woman as to marry an Irish, a German, or a French woman. An American citizen has the right to marry whomsoever he chooses, though the act may be questionable one as to the morality and taste involved The law has no more right to say this man shall not marry that woman, provided she be free to marry at all, than to say he shall marry some other woman. or that he shall marry somebody, whether he wants to marry or not. We earnestly hope that some one will bring test case of this mis- cegenation business into the United States courts, that.the seal of condemnation may be set by the spirit of freedom and equity on these black laws of Virginia, South Carolina, and perhaps other sx-save States Marrying a person of different race Is something like shaving one side of one's head ; very few people care to do so, but they have a perfect right to stultify themselves in that way if they want to.

Mccormick and others have, it is said, put $65O, 900 into one at Chicago. It is to have a capacity of 10000 bushels day, which is the equivalent of 300 tons of sugar. A bushel of corn, costing about forty cents, produces thirty pounds of grape sugar, or three gallons of syrup. This sugar, which costs them net two cents per pound, they can sell at from three and one-half to four cents, while the three gallons of syrup can be sold Rt from thirty-five to forty cents gallon. This new industry promises to dispose of the ''over- production" question, and it will probably henceforth not be cheaper to burn corn than wood in Central Iowa.

The evidence in the Tay bridge investiga- ton shows that the British can no longer set down dishonesty and recklessness in the con- struction and use of great works of this sort as peculiarly American vices. Moulders em- pIoyed in the work of making the cast-iron columns say that in twenty-seven years expe rience they never saw worse material holes and cracks were filled up with cement so as to couceal the defects, and none of the imperfect columns, which were numerous, were broken up, but all went into the bridge. The most favorable testimony under this head was that of one of the foremen, who said the iron was mot so terribly bad for building iron" There was plenty of testimony also that the ruie of the company requiring that no train should go faster than twenty-five miles an hour while crossing the bridge was habitually trans grsssed, aud the actual speed averaged thirty five miles an hour. Sometimes, when trains were late, they ran across the bridge as fast as forty-two and even forty seven miles an hour. If 8 chain is no stronger than its weakest link, a bridge should be no stronger than it's weak. est column and the only wonder is that 8 bridge resting on columns of cement and putty should have carried so many trains safely over, rather than that 1t should have broken down at last

and could only be prevailed upon to

two dishes. The dried rat was served
up with peas. Cat is not a dish, as
generally supposed in Europe, which
can be frequently indulged in by the
poor man; it can only be enjoyed by
him as rare treat. A dinner of cat S
flesh cannot be procured for less than
a quarter of a dollar. Another delicacy
had been ordered by Henry to grace
the meal. Do you recollect that when
he spoke of tipsy shrimps at dinner
party in England, one of our relatives
who was present told friend after

Henry was determined that l should
verify his anecdote. So tipsy shrimps
were placed on the table. They were
brought on in little covered china
bowl, into which wine had been poured
some short time before. When the
cover was removed the shrimps began
to jump about and to spring out of the
little basin on to the table. Had an ex

would have caught them on his chop
sticks as they were in the act of spring

to do this. I could not put one of those

A Burglar-PrOOf Safe.

The making of fire-proof and bur-
glar-proof safes has been brought, of
late years, to great perfection. This is
clearly illustrated by the specimen
safes which the manufacturers exhibit
in various parts of the city, labeled
':This safe passed through the great
fire in Twenty third street'-or else
where, as the case may be. From
these it is apparent that a fire-proof
safe always loses its door, and becomes
covered With rust when subjected to
the action of fire, but enough of it is al
ways left to enable the manufacturer
to distinguish it from cooking stove or
other iren object. In point of burglars,
the patent safe is equally successful.
When q bank is robbed, the burglars
rarely undertake to unlock the safe,
but they send for the cashier, or other
person in charge of the key, and re.
quest him to unlock it for them. The
forethought with which all the money
and securities are collected together in
the safe, thus sparing the burglars the
trouble of searching for them in dozen
different places, is warmly appreciated
and even when the unavoidable absence
of the cashier neoessitates the labor o
either picking the lock or blowing it tc
pieces with gunpowde.. the fair-mindet
burglar still feels grateful to its in
ventOr.

we would be as high as the top
of many church steeples, but away
above us, like whole mountain, would
rise the dome, with little copper ball
on the summit. If our courage and
knees did not fail us, we would ascend
to that ball by staircases between the
internal and external walls of the dome,
and find it large enough to hold a score
of persons
So vast is the cathedrals interior
that it has an atmosphere of its own
in winter slowly losing the heat of the
preceding summer, and in summer
slowly warming up for another winter.
In cold weather the poor of Rome go
there for comfort, as a Roman winter
sometimes brings frosty days and ice.
A traveller says he once saw great
sheet of ice around the fountain before
the cathedral, and some little Romans
awkwardly sliding on it. For the sake
of doing what he never thought to do
in Rome, he took slide with them.
The mosaic pictures, statues, and mon
uments are almost numberless, and the
| pavement of colored marble stretches
away from the doors like large pol
ished field. Formerly, on Easter and
June %, the dome, facade, and the
colonnades of the cathedral were illu-
mined in the early evening by the light
of between four and five thousand
lamps. 1t was called the silver illu-
mination, and is described as having
been very grand and delicate. Sud
denly, on given signal, 400 men, sta
toned at their posts, exchanged the
lamps for lighted pitch in iron pans
fastened to the ribs of the dome. Then
the dome shone afar as a splendid
flaming crown of light.-Harper's

India's Deadly Snakes.

The statistics show that during the
last year the amount of rewards paid
for the destruction of wild beasts and
venomous snakes in British India was
80, 1S9 rupees. AS far as regards the
destruction of wild beasts, the money
was, no doubt, we'll spent, though the
rewards are sometimes too easily
earned. We have, for instance, heard
of young wolf, which had been
brought up domestically until it was as
tame as lady's lapdog, falling vic
tim to a greedy servant in the cook
room for the sake of the head money.
But, after all, wolves are not very
pleasant pets, and there can be little
doubt that the offer of rewards for the
destruction of really dangerous animals
is in the main useful. Tempted by this,
the village shikaree, though he may
have no baby of his own, will sit up for
the wolf that prowls about the precincts
of the village at night thirsting for in
fant's blood.
In reality, only three species of
snakes dangerous to human life are to
be met with in the Bombay Presidency,
viz, the cobra, the chain viper and a
small black snake, banded with white,
which is known to naturalists as Bum
qorus dreasatus. There is another pref
tily-marked little viper. which is COM
mon enough, but, as it is barely foet
in length, its bite is very rarely fatal.
To these popular Anglo-Indian tradi-
ton adds several most deadly species,
the carpet snake. the whip snake, the
eve snake, etc. The last owes its name.

Onions.

From our own experience, and the OBJ
servations of others, we can fully indorse
the testimony of the St. Louis Miller, on
the healthful properties of the above es-
culent. Lung and liver complaints are
certainly benefited, often cured, by a
free consumption of onions, either
cooked or raw. Colds yield to them like
magic Don't be afraid of them. Taken
at night all offense will be wanting by
morning, and the good effects will am
ply compensate for the trifiing annoy
ance Taken regularly they greatly
promote the health of the lungs and the
digestive organs. An extract made by
boiling down the juice of onions to a
sirup, and taken as a medicine, answers
the purpose very well, but fried, roasted,
or boiled, onions are better. Onions are
very cheap medicine, within. every
body's reach, and they are not by any
means as chad to takes as the costly
nostrums a neglect of their use may
necessitate.- Scientific american.

Something About s'RoOts and YARDS. -

The gathering of roots and herbs for
medicinal purposes gives employment to |
many persons in rural districts through |
out the country. A Cincinnati reporter !!
lately interviewed an old herb-collect-
or, and the following is a portion of the
mans account of his business, with ther-
apeutical observations interlarded:-
''Yaller root, or golden seal, is worth
seven cents pound. 1t is used for max
in washes for sore eyes an mouth. |
Burwane root is used in maxim ager
medicine; it's hard to git, and brings
eight cents a pound Butternut bark
brings as high as three and four cents;
that's what yer physickin' pills is made
of; Just bile it down till it gifts thick, like
paste, and then roll it into yer pills; it
is also used for dyeing purposes. Hoar-
hound is used in maxim cough sirup; it
brings eight cents a pound, although it
is plentiful; some places it grows so
thick yer can NOW it with a scythe. An
other herb is lobelia. and I get ten cents
pound fur it, but the price is falling.
If yer ever want to git rid of what in
side of yer, jist make tea of lobelia
leaves, and I'll bet my team of hosses
out there it'll accommodate yer. I
brought in a good many Indian turnips
this fall, and got eight cents a pound
fur 'em. They are used in cough medi-
cines. Silkweed root is used in ager medi-
cine, but it is scarce in my part of the
country; it is worth ten cents pound.
Pennyroyal and peppermint brings ten
cents a pound, but when dry it takes a
heap to make pound. There are good
many kinds of bark used. There's white
oak bark, best thing in the world to
check the bowels, where it is made into
sirup. Yellow-poplar bark used with
wild-cherry bark, prickly ash, dogwood
bark, and wahhoo, is good for the con-
sumption. Slippery-elm bark is ground
up and used for poultices; good to take
out fever; it's worth ten cents pound.
Then there's elder bark; take it, bees
wax, mutton taller, and a leetle resin,
and it makes the best kind of a salve for
fresh cuts. Boneset is an herb that grows
about three feet high, with leaves of a
milky color; it generally grows in old
pastures; it is used for colds, and is worth
six cents pound. Old field balsam looks
a good deal like boneset, only it don't
grow so high; it is used for the same pur-
pose. I've sold lots of catnip to these
druggists, but what it is used for, more
than ter nourish babies with, [ don't
know. / sell these fellows here all sorts
, of roots and herbs, even to mullin anC
plantain leaves, which they make salve
out of. Why, even these old gypsum
weeds bring three cents pound, anC
even sunfower seeds. Why, a couple O

flower seeds fur twenty-one dollars
