An Absurd Custom,

Shortly after the ascension of james
the First, when Scotch gentlemen we're
beginning to feel at home i'll London,
Lord Harewood gave dinner party, to
which were invited large number Of
courtiers, and officers both civil and mil
itary. After the bottle had circulated a
few times. Gen. S., IN English
trooper, and reckless BON riUant, arose
and said Gentlemen, when I am in
my cups, and the generous wine begins
to warm my blood, have IN absurd
custom Of railing against the Scotch.
Knowing my weakness, l hope no gen.
tleman in the company will take it
amiss." He sat down, aud Highland
chief, Sir Robert BIeakie, Of Blair
Atholl, presenting front like an old
battle-worn tower, quietly arose and re-
marked Gentlemen, l, when in my
cups, and tho generous wine begins to
warm my blood, ii hear manbegin to
rail against the Scotch, have an absurd
custom Of kicking him at once out Of
the company. Knowing my weakness,
! hope no gentleman will take it amiss. 1"
1t may be needless to add that Gen.
S. did not ON that occasion suffer
himself to follow his usual custom.

Answers to Correspondents.

j. W. NJ. Little Rock: 81 have some literar,
aspirations. Would you kindly give me some
information as TO how editors are paid."
So few editors are paid, that it is i'm
possible to procure data sufficient to
base an answer IN. We have referred
your question to the eX-editor of daily
paper, and he says: If YOU want to
be paid in full for your labors. swap
your literary aspirations for a hoe. and

editor"
Laura s.. Huntsville: How do you fix cas-
tor oil so that you do not taste il? l am told

This is the way we fix it so that we
do no taste it. We mix it with some
sugar and the white of an egg. in a
glass. and bride the Office boy to drink
it. That is the most successful way we
have yet discovered.

HYGIENE Conditions OF Coal Mines.

Some interesting information as to
the way in which the human system is
affected under the peculiar conditions
of work in mines has been furnished by
NJ. Fabre, from experiences connected
with the coal mines in France. He finds
that the deprivation of solar light causes
a diminution in the pigment of the skin,
and absence of su%nburnihg. but there is
no globular an9mia-that is diminution
in the number of globules in the blood.
Internal maladies seem tn be more rare.
While there is no essential anamia in
the miners. the blood globules are often
found smaller and pa,er than in normal
conditions of life. this being due to res
piration of noxious gases, especially
where ventilation is difficult The men
who breathe toe much the gases l;ber-
ated on explosion of powder or dyna-
mite suffer more than other miners
from affections Of the larynx. the bron-
CHA. and the stomach Ventilation
sometimes works injury by its cooling
effect.

An English View OF Travelled Americans.

Americans of a certain class have a
manifest advantage over Europeans
that is. from the traveling point of view.
Politicians on promotion, and other
pushing English persons, fly to America
to endeavor to catch the tone of the
great new country during a hurried
tour; but Americans have been used to
study Europe and EUROPEANS" for
several generations. The ropes of the
effete oligarchies are supposed. at least.
to be fairly well understood by the
American people. The sportsmen. in
the English and better sense of the
word. are pleased, of course. by the
victory of American horses, but this
feeling only extends to a limited class.
The best class of Americans know rs
little of sport as OF politics. When the
late PATRON Of Albany spoke of a
snowy young nan as being either a
gambler or a politician, he accurately
defined n class of American feeling.
To the highest and most travelled class
OF travelled Americans, q person work
ing in the political machine" of his
country appears as little better than a
pro.essed gambler. He is a person of
no family, as . rule of no connections,
OF no set. 1t may astonish oligarchic
England to hear that such claims are
recognized in o Republic, but it is true,
nevertheless. That this is absolutely
true will be Q by any person who has
travelled among = crowd Of Americans
voyaging in Europe. But it Is nothing
to the amplitude of the space which
separates the knickerbocker or the cod
fish a~ristocrat from the drummer" of
New York or Boston. To comprehend
the travelled American one nus COM
pletely get rid of the Republican idea of
equality. There is little of this in the
United States and less in the permanent
or transient American colony in Europe.
In classifying American travellers the
first place socially must be given to the
anti-Americans- 1t was said by a great
authority that claret would be port if
if it could; and of these ..upper-ten-
DOM Americans it may be said that
they would be English if they could.
OF course they would deny the soft
impeachment most emphatically; vet
every word. act and deed of theirs
emphasizes their preferences of the old
country to the new. Many of them
hail from Boston, Mass, but have been
brought to Europe for education so

Dear scene of many a high old romp when
youthful blood ran free,
And the young folks did tall counting at the

I see it yet, in fancy, with its old and wheel

How very huge the old barn looked when
viewed through boyish eyes,
Even Romcs big Colosseum seemed inferior
in size:
And I use to think, when trcading down the
hay they pitched to me,
That that old NOW should hold enough to last

And / also thought. when near the roof, waist

That for weeks to come that NOW would roast

even smaller ones
Can save their bones and TAU at times with the

Last week the old barn vanished and a new
one took its place.
The stauncb old structure ran with time q

For in spite of rain and haitstorms, and light
