the INFLUENCE OF SOCIETY.


Society, as means Of education, is
even more important for woman
than for a man. It is only in this
way that a woman can gain a per-
sonal knowledge of the world, unless
she is compelled by.circumstances to
go out among the toilers in the vine
yard and earn her own bread and
meet and compete with others. Ease
and grace and tact and all the pow
crs of pleasing that women of society
possesses, arc developed by expert
ence so acquired. For the first year
or two girl is mainly occupied in
looking about her and comprehending
what it all means, and trying the
new ground with timid, uncertain
footsteps. But the complications of
the social machinery are soon master
ed and being so pre-occupied with
herself, she is able to occupy herself
more with others. After a few years
Of such experience she is apt to sub
side, unless she aspires to the career
of a gay married woman. into the
sphere of domestic duties to be alb
sorbed by them, and to consider her
self exempt from other claims. 1t is
by no means desirable that a woman
should neglect or be Indifferent to her
home and home occupations, but it is
important that she should not, as is
too often the case, lose her powers OF
pleasing and her capacity of interest
ing herself in topics outside her i'm
mediate sphere. Many man who
now prefers his. own freside, where
he is sure of finding chair adapted
to his own special vertebral needs
would relinquish this idle personal
indulgence if he were sure Of meeting
in society persons OF cultivated taste
with whom he might discuss topics
a little apart from the routine of daily
life. Society should not be an end
but means; not weariness and q
burden, but a refreshment and ben
eft to men and women, upon whose
lives the commonplace and necessary
encroach largely, and a means oi
keaping ones interests expanded
aud ones sympathies fresh and lib
eral.

EVANSVILLE, IND. Oct. 27.-There
arrived in this city to-day a man
named Adam Castleton, of Casey
County, Ky. His family is with him
one of which is striking curiosity.
This is a young boy three years old,
who stands three feet four inches in
his Stockings, measures 16 inches
around the calf of the leg, 26 inches
around the thigh, 40 inches around
the waist, 3s inches around the chest.
and weighs 1so pounds. The child
his father says, weighed but nine
pounds at his birth, but at six months
had increased to 40 pounds, and
then jumped by rapid stages to his
present enormous proportions. The
child is bright enough, although
physicians have counseled his parents
not to tax him closely with mental
effort. Physically, although so huge
for his age, he is sound and healthy,
and makes what might might be
called q waddling effort at romping
around. Castleman and his wife,
though both of good size, are neither
of them large, and cannot remember
any ancestor from whom this pro
d,oious boy could have inherited
his extraordinary proportions. They
have another child, an infant girl
three months old but giving no
evidence of following in the brothers
footsteps. The father proposes
exhibiting the boy through the
country as curiosity.

PETER COOPER PRESlDES.WHAT Is
DEMANDED,

New YORK, Oct. 27.-The Anti
monopoly mass meeting at Cooper
Union wasI largely attended. Peter
Cooper presided, and said if the
principles Of the league were carried
out they would do more to insure
the happiness and prosperity Of the
people than has ever been accom-
pllshed before.
Resolutions were adopted declar-
ing the public welfare aud public
safety demands the following spe-
cific measures: Relief laws compell-
ing transportation companies to base
their charges upon 'scost and risk of
SERVICE" with fair profit added, in
stead of the new theory, "what the
traffic will bear" laws to prohibit
the establishment, through construc-
tion companies or other devices, OF
officious cast for works of public
nature; prohibiting unjust discrlmi-
nations against both citizens and
localities; railroad commissions, State
and National, with adequate powers
to see these laws are enforced;
amendments to our bribery laws,
that will give immunity to persons
who accept bribes for the purpose
of exposing bribery; and amend.
ments to our primary election laws
which will make our. primary cleo
tions something more than farce; a
liberal policy towards our canals,
which, during the season Of naviga
tion, are potent in preventing ex-
orbtant charges by railroads.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD RooRBAck.

Nasthan Guilford, once wei!
known citizen of Cincinnati, was an
active Wing politician, and editor of
an energetic Wing paper. On April
lst. of certain year, he published a
circumstantial account ofexperiments
by Germsn chemist named Roorr
back. Roorback had been examining
the chemical constituents of eggs of
different birds, supposing it might be
possible at last to compound hatch
able egg. According to the story,
after putting many Of his manufac-
tured eggs to the animal heat of dit
ferent patient mothers. he at last
happily succeeded in Matching one
egg and produced a living bird.
The story then goes on to describe
very mlnutely the strange creature,
anatomically, physiologically and
every other way, initiating the scien-
tific style used in similar cases. The
story read very well, and was copied
into many other papers, and after
going the rounds of the press it was
at last latter three or four months)
discovered to have been first publish
ed on the lst of April.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Demo.
cratic) Immediately fixed upon Mr..
Guilford the name of Reorback,
which was thereafter held to mean a
political liar, although the story had
nothing to do with politics. Being
we'll stuck to, the name at last be,
came pretty we'll fixed, and Mr.. G.
was for many years wellknown in
the political field as old Roorback.

Making Money.

Why. some men are so eager to
make money is problem /; they GER
tainly do not spend it freely. They
care nothing for the good things of
life. They seem to value money for
its own sake. Most men start in life
with bright object before them, the
means of attaining which is money,
and so they resolve to make money.
But the means push the end out of
sight. A new fascination springs up,
which banishes the younger dream.
The real pushes the ideal from it's
seat. Money acquires. or seems to
acquire, value of its own; it becomes
both means and end, and making it
grows into a habit seldom lost. The
proverb says that "Use is second ma
ture and it is proved, when the nat
ural desire of men for happiness is
Obliterated by the habit of making
money.

Celebrated PRISONERS.

At one time, poisoning was large
ly practisad in Italy. The most cell
ebrated of the Italian prisoners were
two women named La SpaZa and To-
phania, who were both executed.
The latter confessed that she had
been instrumental III poisoning six
hundred people, during life of sew
enty years. Her poison was color
less and tasteless, and could not be
detected. 1t was put up in phials
and labelled by her "Manna of st.
Nicholas" though it was usually
known by her own name as Agna To-
phania. So common a thing did
poisoning become, that fashionable
ladies kept bottles of this fatal water
upon their dressing tables, as they
would lavender water. BY regulat-
ing the dose victims could be des-
patched in a week, a fortnight,
month, Or longer period, as suited
the plans of the poisSners. In En-
gland seventeen persons were poison
ed by Rouse. the Bishop of Roches-
ter's cook. Madame de Brinvilliers,
a young and beautiful Frenchwoman
of NEST engaging manners, ran a dis
tinguished career as slow poisoner.
BY the advice of her. husband, she
leagued with poisoner by the name
of Saint Croix. to despatch her father
and brothers, that she might inherit
their property. The fellowship of
crime inspired her with guilty pas
sion for her accomplice, and she after
ward sought to poison her husband
that she might marry Saint Croix.
But the latter had no fancy to form
a closer connection with this wicked
woman, land, y'he secret administra-
ton of antidotes. prevented the hus-
bands death. She was at length de-
tected in her practices and persisted
on the scaffOld.

A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
singer Machine state these facts !:
That they employ forty thousand
persons and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco-
motive transporting machines and
material between New YORK and
their immense factory at Elizabeth,
n. J. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand five hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
of ground. and every square foot is
daily used, beside most of the shops
are three and four stories. The box
ing and Grating shop alone cut over
one hundred thousand feet of lumber
per day for boxing and grating ma
chimes. To drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. Four hundred men
are employed in the foundry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine two
acre field filled every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne
cessity for this great factory is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, as the following will
show: In the year 1878 three-quar.
tiers of all the machines sold through.
out the world were Genuine Singers,
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
thirty eight thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half a
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply, as subordinate offices often
have TO wait for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't be
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what
ever. If you wish Genuine Singer
mo Bogus call on or address 1. w.
Slonaker, Oakland, Md, who is agent
for this world renowned Sewing
Machine.
N. B. Singer agents will adjust
the Singer Machine wherever they
find it, free of charge, regardless of
the time it has been in use.
