Senate amendments having been concurred In
by the House to-day. This is tho first regular Ap-
preparation bill that has passed both houses. The
House to-day reafrmed the action of the last Con-
gress in the matter of guaranteeing the interest on
the bonds of the District of Columbia, BY making
the necessary appropriation to pay the interest

Post Office Appropriation bill, the consideration of

Good Reading.

The best preparation of the boy for a
virtuous life is to interest him in good
reading. I remember that few years

An Interesting Experiment.

With SO simple an article as q red
cabbage, 9 very old, but pretty little
chemical experiment may be made By
the young people, with tho result Of
amusing and astonishing those around
them. The effect may be strikingly
shown in this manner: Cut three leaves
OF the cabbage into small pieces, and
after placing them in a basin, pour a
pint of boiling water over them, letting
them stand an hour; then pour off the
liquid into decanter. It will be of a
fine blue color. Then take four vine
glasses, into one of them put six drops
Of strong vinegar into another, Six
drops OF solution of soda into third,
the same quantity Of solution of alum.
and let the fourth glass remain empty.
Fill up the glasses from the decanter, and
the liquid poured into the glass contain
ing the acid will quickly change into a
beautiful red; that poured with the
soda will be q fine green, and that
poured into the empty glass will remain
unchanged.

a sore throat resulted which endan-
gered Cox's life. He sued the super
intendent for 1000. At the trial last
fall, Judge Ross told the jury that Cox
had a right to wave the twenty -four
hour privilege, and the jury found for
the defendant. The supreme court
has reversed this decision, Judge
Pierpont holding that the law COM
mitted the prisoner from a certain
time to a certain time, and that neither
he nor any other power could commit
him before, and that any one shaving
him without his consent before that
time was liable, and sent the case back
for new trial. The result will doubt
less be heavy verdict, as the proof of
the damage is clear.

Like Mistress, Like Maid.

"Sir," says Ruskin, "there is only
one way to have good servants is.
to be worthy of being well served. Ali
nature and all humanity will serve a
good master and rebel against an ignoble
one. And there is no surer test of the
quality OF a nation than the quality of its
servants, for they are their masters
shadows, and distort their faults in a
fattened mimicry. A wise nation will
have philosophers in Its servants hall, q
knayish nation will have knaves there.
and kindly nation will have friends
there. Only let it be remembered that
kindness means, as with your child. sc
with your servant, not indulgence, but
care.

Suicidal Facts.

The Frenchman kills himself to a very
large extent No less than 149 French
men commit suicide every year. This
is what we might expect of people
struggling to remember day by day
whether they are living under a King
or an Emperor or one of two or three
kinds of republics. The reading of
French newspapers must else be a pro-
life cause Of suicide. The reader is liza
BILE at almost any time to be shocked by
finding news paragraph setting forth
some occurrence of not more than three
days Old OF course, a Frenchman of a
nervous temperament would be serious.
~ disturbed by succession of such
shocks happening within space of six
months, and would very likely in his ex-
element seek the sure serenity of death.
Life is hardly worth living in country
where you may be dragged out of bed at
any hour in the night BY excited patriots
and required to lend hand in upsetiing
the Government. The wonder is, not
that SO many Frenchmen commit sui
eide, but that suicide is not the univer
sal practice.
One would imagine that the Danes
would very seldom kill themselves.
They have small country, the geogra.
ply of which they can master in half an
hour, and they are believed to be pros
porous and happy people, exempt from
revolutions and elections, and to a very
great degree from daily newspapers and
malaria. Nevertheless, out Of the small
population of Denmark 25S persons kill
themselves every year. The fact admits
of but two explanations, neither of
which will be felt to be fully satisfa t.
ry. We may assume that as a nation
the Danes are still trying to understand
what was the the famous Schlesw1g-
Holstein question which led to the war
with Prussia and Austria, and that many
OF them are thereby reduced to such q
state of disgrace that they seek refuge
in death; or, we may suppose that the
Muhlbach novels, which few years ago
devastated this country, have been trans
lated into Danish and are universally
read. These two causes would undoubt-
edly be sufficient to account for any
quantity of suicides, but it is not Ger
tain that either the Schleswig- Holstein
question or the Muhlbach novels engage
to any extent the attention of the Danes

A Five Thousand-D Dollar Beard.

A novel case was that of Cox against
Eayres, recently heard before the
supreme court, at Rutland. vt. Cox
was convicted of an offense under the
liquor law, and sentenced to pay a fine
in twenty-four hours or be committed
to the house Of correction, and was
placed in the custody of the sheriff for
safe-keeping during the twenty-four
hours. The sheriff took him to the
house of correction and left him. The
superintendent, Eayres, explained to
him that by waving the twenty-four
hour privilege and 8being committed
at once he would save costs. Cox
agreed to be committed at once. Under
the rules of the Institution. his beard,
very heavy one, worn for fifteen
years, was removed. Cox protested.

An Arithmetical Dream.

A 7-year-old pupil of the Central
School, who sleeps with his mother, is
in the habit of talking while asleep, and
few nights ago the lady was awakened
by the strange conduct of her little son.
The boy, it seems, was dreaming that
he was doing a sum in arithmetic, and
fancied his mothers face was slate.
She allowed him to put the imaginary
figures down on the imaginary slate,
but when he spit on his hand and was
about to erase the example she deemed
it high time to dispel the illusion, which
she did by shaking the young man until
he aWOke. -BuHuLO Ec0ygss.
