How Johann Strauss Writes His Waltaes

How Johann Strauss Writes His Walt2es,
Strauss and his wife were enjoying a
quiet walk in the park at Schonau re-
Gently, when suddenly the composer
exclaimed my dear, | have a waltz
in my head quick, give me the inside
of letter or an envelope to write it
down before | forget it." Alas! after
much rummaging OF pockets it was dis
covered that neither Of them had u let
ter about them mot even tradesman's
account. Johann Strauss music is
considered light, but it weighs as heavy
as lead on his brain until he can trans
fer it TO paper. His despair was heart.
renGing. AT last happy thought
struck Frau Strauss. She held out
snowy linen cuff, and Johann smiled.
In two minutes 1t was MS. Then its
mate shared the same fate, then Frau
Strauss collar, then not another scrap
Of starched linen on which to conclude
the composition. His own linen was
limp oOlored calico-Do hope there.
Johann became frantic. He was much
worse for having been allowed to write
three-quarters of the waltz. He was
just on the point of dashing home like
mailman, when another happy
thought struck Frau Strauss. She
plunged her hand into capacious
pocket, fshed out a purse, and dis
played, to his delight. a new hundred
gulden note. HurrahI The entire
finale was written on the bank note,
and then Johann Strauss relapsed into
his usual tranquility.

Presidential Items.

Many people at Washington are dissatisfied
that Garfield has not been allowed to see, more
of his friends. President Hinsdale stayed a
fortnight and went home disconsolate, General
be denied admission, and Mr.. Blaine has seen
him but once. But even this most rigid seclu-
sion admits to his bedside Mrs. Garfield, four
regular and two consulting physicians, General
Swain, Colonels Rockwell and Corbin, Mrs Dr.
Edison and DR.. Boynton, and ''two or three
trusted servants"-say fifteen persons. Surely
a man in his condition cannot we'll see more. 1t
isn't likely he wants to see more. -.
An exciting rumor reached Washington q
few days ago that the cabinet has decided that
the time had come when the question of the
presidents inability under the constitution
could no longer be denied and that Arthur had
been sent for and Blaine had offered his resig-
nation The report was founA to have no
foundation. e..
it should be necessary during the illness of the
president to have any executive appointment
made requiring the personal participancy or
signature of tile president and the cabinet, to
invite the vice president to perform that duty
or afix the necessary signature, the proper
mode of signing an executive paper would be
''Chester A. Arthur, vice president and acting
president" .,. -.s.
A Special from Bayfield,, Wis, gives an i'll
terview with Sc, ator Beck of Kentucky, with
reference to the course the Democrats should
take in case of the death of President Garfield
Senator Beck said: 1t should be time when
love of country should rise above all, party
questions. AS to my course would be in fav-
or of the election of some conservative Repub-
ican, say Henry B. Anthonyof Rhede Island,
to the positions of president pro tenn of the SEN
ate, and thus avoid any inducement for any
insane person or political fanatic to desIe the
death of Mr.. Arthur. That would be grace
full recognition of the fact that under the
great calamity which had befallen the nation,
the intensity of party spirit and the eagerness
of spoils, were for the time forgotten" ."5
Mrs Garfield still feels sure that the presi-'
dent will recover. D.

Scientific Matters.

Three eminent scientific men say, in re-
porting on the water supplied to London:
Judged by our daily examinations. the
water supplied in London is, in our opin-
ion, whether considered as to its efficient
filtration or its purity, unimpeachable, and
the examination of l, l27 samples enables
us to state that as a drinking supply it needs
nothing to be desired"
A French scientist has discovered that
by the application of certain woods to the

been obtained, as in the case of the use of
metals, magnets. sinadisms and blisters.
The efficacy of the woods is classified in
the following order: Ciuchona bark,
thuja. rosewood, mahogany, pitchpine,
walnut, maple, apple. Poplar, ash and
plane produce no effect
Feline philosophy, as interpreted by
Professor Schmidt through the columns of
the New York Times, has its practical side,
and denotes the extent to which cats may
be made available to insure the safety of
property and life. The redoubtable pro-
fessor insists that the feline race are
greater protection against lightning than
the most approved metal conductors. He
asserts it to be the positive electricity of the
cat which renders that able animal safe in
the severest thunder storm. He says that
the lightning of the clouds may aim at a
cat all day, but it cannot hit her.
An Austrian chemist;is said to have de-
vised some time ago a new soporifc, the
action of which is SO rapid and powerful
that a few drops of it sprinkled on the
head and face will stupefy a man in few
seconds and reader him utterly defence
less. He gave it the name of Bandiger, or
"tamar, and offered to sell the secret of
its preparation to the Austrian govern
ment. But the government has not only
refused to purchase it, but has ordered the
pelice authorities to formally order the in
ventor to discontinue his experiment, and
to abstain from using in any way his in
der pain of being criminaily dealt with.

Correspondence of Chicago Times.
have never gotten such good idea of
southern men as I have here this week,
studying the types that come here from all
parts of the south. The southern men are
as class very good looking. Every now
and then you meet one that is strikingly
handsome, a splendid specimen of physical
beauty. Southern men are generally tall,
broad -shouldered, deep chested, and are
very easy and simple in their ways and man
ners. They have none of the push and
drive of northern men in the same station
of life, but they are much more agreeable
in q social way. They are never ina hurry,
and are always ready with pleasant word
Or an incident to help pass the time. They
are to each other like brothers. Out on
the grass or the lawn, in front of the house,
there is now a group of southern men
surrounding Gen. Cook, of Georgia,
as he relates one of his good
stories. The affectionate. way these men
have in their companlonship with each other
speaks volumes in explanation of the unity
of the south. To be q southern born man
is enough to entitle one to the very best
and kindes. there is in oil other southern

the author: On the 5th Of January, 1857,
as King Louis XIV. was entering his car
riage at Versailles, stout young man push
ed through the Swiss. guards and stabbed.
the king with pocket knife. The wound
was slight, but all France was convulsed.
The assassin was Pierce Damiens, q fanati-
cal Jansenist, poor lunatic without ac-
completes, plan or rational motive.
In his pocket was found neatly bound
New Testament, and his purpose was to
promote the Orthodox faith. From the
hour of his arrest to the moment Of his
death, aperiod of three months and twen-
ty three days, he was in torture whenever
he was awake, so cruelty was he bound,
chained and confined. When. at last The
