Life and Death in a Great City.


The most striking features OF New York
life, perhaps, Is the utter lack OF social
sympathy and intercourse. Persons live
for years in street without knowing the
names OF even their neighbors, and think
little more OF visiting each other. merely
through nelgbborly instinct, than you

A MYSTERY ABOUT ARTEMAs WARD
Among the mysteries of his life, and they
are many, none was grea.er than that in
volving the total disappearance of his
property at the time OF his death. Mr..
Maxfeld, his administrator, who knew
much of his affairs, says that while be did
not have as much money as was generally
supposed, yet, being in his room in Water
ford, one day, just before his departure
for England and while he was arranging
his affairs, so that" as Charles said, " if
anything should happen, mother will be
all right" he saw a pile of notes on the
table amounting to about twelve thousand
dollars, which he thought was all the
money Charles had He had valuable
gold watch and chain. The chain was OF
solid gold, present from the California
miners, very heavy, though plainly
wrought, and worth alone several thou
sand dollars. He had also diamond pin
of considerable value, and two diamond
rings Besides, his last season in London
was very successful for some six weeks
he netted three hundred dollars a night.
He was also literally paid for his contribu.
tons 10 "Panch." But of all this his
mother never received a cent, and not Sc
much as single relic. Previous to his
death he had cleared the old homestead OF
debt, and had willed to bis mother small
property at Yonkers, N. Y. What became
of the rest?-Scribner for Nay.

To SMALL lNvEsToRs.-You have a
little money laid up, say five hundred dol
lnrs; you are questioning what to do with
it. We do not propose to tell you. but
We propose to give you general principles
which may aid you in coming to wise
decision.
You may do one of three things with it:
you may hoard ii; you may invest it, or
you may speculate with ii. You may put
it in strong box. and put the strong box
in your safe or in that of a safe deposit
company; in which case, at the end of
twenty years, your five hundred dollars
will not have gained single dollar. 1t
will be like the talent which the unproft-
able servant wrapped in Il napkin. You
may buy five acres of land with it, and
begin to cultivate them, in which case, if
You buy wisely and cultivate skilfully and
industriously, at the end of five years
your five hundred dollars will have become
thousand; or you may buy a thousand
bushels of oats at fifty cents hushel, in
the expectation that oats are going to be
higher next week, leave them at the mill
or in the store house for a fortnight and at
the end OF that time sell them to some one
at SlAly CcHlS vi IOllN cents IL uuoucI' Ill
which case you may make or lose, accord
ing as the market happens to rise or fall
In the first case you simply attempt to keep
your money; in the second you attempt to
set it to useful work; in the third case
you simply use it to get money out of
your neighbours pocket To hoard money
is simply to put it where you think it will
be safe; to invest money is to put it where
you think it will be useful; to speculate
with money is simply to make a sake of
it with a fellow gambler; the whole to be
lost or Von on the turn of the dice Or the
shift of the market.
Now you ought to have a clear and def.
mite understanding of what you want TO
do with your money; do you want to
hoard it, to invest it. or to speculate with
it?
If you want to speculate with it we have
no advice to give you. The sooner you
lose it the better; and il probably will not
he long. An amateur gambler who at
tempts to beat a faro bank is cautious in
comparison with an amateur Spectator
who imagines he can send his five hundred
dollars to Wall street and make it take
five hundred more out from the pockets of
men whose life is devoted to studying the
market, and whose whole earnings are
made by pucking amateur speculators.-

THE WOUNDED HORSE.-In tho yoar
1870 during the sad war between France
and Germany, a newspaper correspondent
was visiting the town Of Bazeilles, ia
France, which had just then been the scene
of battle. Among many other distress
ing sights, suggestive of the miseries of
war, which were to be found on every
hand he particularly mentions the follow
ing interesting story, which Reaches its
own lesson:
In the fields, just outside the city, there
was a miserable looking horse, standing
motionless, with his off fore leg poised in
air. We went up to him, when, without
moving in the least, the poor beast turned
his great blue orbs from one to the other
of us, saying, as plainly as looks could DO :
For mercy's sake, gentlemen, help me if
you can"
One of US examined the leg. and soon
found that bullet had lodged in the crown
of the hoof, which was very much sweled
and sore, and the flies had been dreadfully
busy with it. Of course, to cut it, and
remove the cause of months agony, was
but the work Of a few minutes, and if you
had seen how grateful the old fellow was
when he put his hoof to the ground, and
found that he could once more limp along,
you would have believed as | do, that
horses can speak with their eyes almost as
we'll as human beings. Do we not restrict
our sympathies too closely when we feel
only for wounded men9 1t is terrible to
think of what that wretched animal must
have suffered during his long days and
nights of agony since first that stinging
throb came to his foot, and he was left all
alone in his misery.

Speaking of the prevalent custom of
lifting reformed men at once to the plat
form, the Standard says: :" But to our
mind the most crying evil is the exhibit
tion that is made of reformed men. As
soon as drunkard reforms he is dragged
out of the privacy that would seem most
fitting for him, and made a show of. If
he is vouble and has knack of speaking,
he is encouraged to rehearse bis past life.
He draws pictures of himself reeking with
gutter mud and bound hand and foot by
filthy habits. He takes his hearers into
low groggeries, and invites them to roll
and grovel with him in the streets. The
ranks of temperance speakers need weed
ing out, and societies everywhere should
refuse to listen to any man who has moth
ing better to offer than the picture of
corrupt past: picture drawn with
miserable self-satisfaction because the
speaker has, at a very late hour, done a
simple duty that should never have be-
come necessary to him at all.-Se'ected.

USE OF LEMONS. all people, in
sickness or IN health, lemonade is safe
drink. 1t corrects biliousness. 1t is a
specific against worms and skin COM
plants. The pippins crushed may also be
mixed with water and sugar and used AS a
drink. Lemon juice is the best anti-scor-
butte remedy known. 1t not only cures
the disease but prevents it. Sailors make
daily use of it for this purpose. A ply
sician suggests rubbing of the gums daily
with lemon juice to keep them in health
The hands and nails are also kept clean,
white, soft and supple by the daily use OF
lemon instead of soap. 1t also prevents
chilblains. Lemon used in intermittent
fevers is mixed with strong, hot black tea
or coffee, without sugar Neuralgia may
be cured by rubbing the part affected with
lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure warts
and to destroy dandruff on the head, by
rubbing the roots of the hair with 1t. In
fact, its uses are manifold, and the more
we employ it externally the better we
shall find ourselves.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES. Valuable
discoveries have been made and valuable
inventions suggested by the veriest acci-
dents. An alchemist, while seeking to
discover a mixture of earths that would
make the most durable crucbles, one DAY
found he had made porcelain. The pow
er of lenses. as applied to the telescope,
was discovered by Il watchmakef,s appren-
tice. While holding spectacle. glasses
between his thumb and finger, he Was
startled at the suddenly enlarged appear
ance of neighboring church splre The
art of etching upon glass was discovered
by Il Nuremberg gass-cutter. Byaccident,
few drops of aquafortis fell upon his
spectaces. He noticed that the glass
became corroded and softened where the
acid had touched it That was hint enough.
He drew figures upon glass with varnish +,
applied the corroding fuid, 'hen cut away
the glass around the drawing. When the
varnish wasremoved, the figures appeared
raised upon a dark ground. Mezzotinto
owed its invedLion to the simple accident
of the gnn barrel of sentry becoming
rusled with dew. The swaying to and
fro of chandelier in a cathedral suggested
to Calico the application of the pendulum.
The art of lthrographing was perfected
through suggestions made by accident. A
poor musician was curious to know
whether music could not be etched upon
stone as well as upon copper. After he
had prepared his slab, his mother asked
him 10 make memorandum OF such
clothes as he proposed to send away to be
WI she'd Not having pen and ink and
paper convenient he wrote the list on the
stone with the etching preparation, in
tending TO make copy of it at leisure.
A few days later, when about to clean the
stone, he wondered what effect aquafOrtis
would have upon it. He applied the acid,
and in a few minutes saw the writing
standing out in relief The next step was
simply to ink the stone and take of an
impression. The composition of which
printing-rolers are made was discovered
by Salopan printer. Not being able to
find the pet ball, he linked the type with a
piece of soft glue which had fallen out OF
glue-pot. 1t was such an excellent
substitute that, after mixing moasses with
the glue, to give the mass proper consist
ency, the old pelt-ball was entirely dis
carded. The shop Of Il Dublin tabaccon.
ist by the name of Lundy was destroyed
by fire. While he was gazing dolefully
into the smouldering ruins, he noticed
that his poorer neighbors were gathering
the snuff from the canisters. He tested
the snuff for himself, and discovered that
the fire had largely improved its pungency
and aroma. 1t was hint worth prohting
by He secured another shop, built lot
of ovens, subjected the snuff to n heating
process, gave the brand particular name,
and in few years became rich through
an accident which he at first thought had
com pletely ruined him.

WHO SHALL Bow FIRsTP-Shall the
man or the woman bow first when they
meet in the streetP This is the question.
In France it is the custom for the gentle
man to bow first; in England, for the
lady. Americans have usually initiated
the English mode. but there are some in
dications that change has begun, and
that, henceforth, it will be considered
proper for neither to wait for the other,
but for either to take the initiative accord
idg to which sees the other first. If the
lady does not wish to recognize the gentle
man at all, she need no., of course, ia
either case; so that her preference has the
same protection, whichever is authorized
to bow first. The true rule in America
would seem to be a union of the French
and English code; neither gentleman nor
lady to have precedence, but either to bow
first, according to nvenience.-Amertca'
Queen.

MILITARY DRESS.-In the armies of an
tiquity regular uniforms do not seem to
have been worn, though the warriors
dressed more or less alike, and in many
cases wore distinctive badges. The Spartan
soldier was known by his chlamys of red,
that sanguinary hue having been adopted
in order, according to some authorities,
that he might not become faint-hearted at
the sight of his blood or the blood Of his
fellow soldiers; though other writers of
weight hold that the object in concealing
the flow of blood was to deprive the enemy
of the triumphant feeling with which, if
visible, it might have inspired him.
Amony the Gauls the favorte military
dress was the skin of II wild beast, whose
head acted as helmet, and whose open
mouth and teeth gave to the warrior a
very unfriendly appearance. The COM
panies and squadrons of the crusaders
were distinguished by certain visible signs,
such as plumes and scarfs; but throughout
the middle ages the ordinary dress of such
warriors as could afford a special fighting
costume was helmet and coak of mail.
In France it was not until 1870, when the
soldiers were for the first time equipped at
the expense of the king, that regular uni
forms were worn; and this custom was
gradually adopted in the other European
countries.

An ingenious yankee has lately invented
an illuminated oil can. 1t is so arranged
that the can holds the light and the oil,
and is adapted for oiling machinery In the
dark, and when in use. the light, which is
made after the bulls eye pattern, strikes
upon the point of the tube that elects the
oil, and enables the oier to see just what
he is doing. Its usefulness to locomotive
engineers for oiling engines in the dark
should make it valuable tool for them.
The oil cannot harden or become stiff as
the light in the can furnishes heat enough
TO keep 1t warm. and it can easily be car
ried in one hand. Different sizes, intend
ed for all kinds of work, will be made.
