An Incident Of Washington Life.

A few days since WE'LL known gentla-
man Of this city, called at the Chinese en-
bassy and requested Of the minister the
privilege Of bringing two or three friends
to call. The minister was somewhat en-
barassed at the request, as 1t was not exc
aetly in accordance with his ideas Of Ell.
quette, but Oriental politeness forbade
refusal. The next night, to his great
dismay, the enterprising American invaded
the mansion with delegation Of thirty odd
sfght-geers Of whom the majority were la
dies. It was soon evident that they came
to spend the evening. The wife Of the
minister was up stairs and not mixing in
society, according to the Chinese law. and
custom, and ,could not make her appearance.
The minister, unable to speak o work of
English. did the best he could to entertain
his unexpected visitors by the aid Of his in
ter prefer, set refreshments before them and
pc. mitted himself to be gazed OF until GU
riosity was satisfied. On departing the Wis.
itors all exclaimed to each other Of the
lovely time they had. but there may be Sc
rious doubts as to whether their host could
say the same.

Flower Seeds.

Nine-t enths OF the failures in flower cul-
ture CONT from improper treatment of
seeds and young plants. Another object to
be considered is the soil into which flower
seeds are to be sown. The soil best adapt
ed to Towering plants is light, friable
loan, containing sufficient amount OF
sand to render it porous. A great many va
rieties will live in almost any kind Of soil,
except it be extremely dry, or Of stiff.
heavy character. Most flowers are better If
oluced on plants Of most vigorous
growth, 30 the greater portion Of the garden
should be prepared by deep digging and
liberal enriching with well-rotted manure.
Do not plant the seeds when the ground is
wet. Make the surface as fine and smooth
as possible. Cover each sort Of seed to o
depth proportionate to its size--the finest.
like portulaca, not more than one-quarter Of
an inch deep, those the size Of pin head
one-half inch, and those as big as
pea one inch. Press the soil
down firmly over the seed,

Grinding the Faces Of the Poor.

MIR. John F. Slater has given one million
for educating negroes in the Southern
States. A skeptical Maiden editor hints
that this one million dollars was not earned
by Mr.. John r. Slaters right arm, but was
accumulated by him as proprietor Of cotton
factories in Connecticut and Massachusetts,
which have been notorious for presenting
some OF the worst features Of long hours,
poor pay, and thieving truck" stores.
And this is the way in which the aforesaid
Maiden Headlight thinks the case should
be stated. The cotton operatives Of Con-
nectiout and Massachusetts have given one
million. dollars to educate the negro, and
Mr.. Slater gets the credit of it"

Faithful through thousand years,

On their due days, Of the birds.

A flock of finches darting
Beneath the crystal arch,
Piping as they flew march
Belize the one they used in parting
Last year from yon oak larch;
Dusky spsrrows in a crowd,
Diving, darling northward free,
Suddenly betook them ALL
Every cne to his hole in the wall
Or to his niche in the apple tree.
Igreet with joy the choral trains.
Fresh from palms and Cubas canes.

Your manners for the hearts delight,

Here weave your chamber weather proof,
Forgive our harms, and condscend
To man, as to lubber friend,
And, generous, teach his awkward race
Courage and probity and grace.

Observe habits of Regularity

In eating, drinking, and retiring, as means
of maintaining or restoring health. No less
important is 1t to correct growing tendency TO
irregularity in the habit Of body. The func-
ton of the bowels cannot be suspended without
an accompanying disturbanceof the liver and
stomach, and other sympathetic evidences Of
bodily i'll being. A course Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will give an impetus to the OPP
erations of these organs, which Ia manifested
not only in the beneficial effects 1t produces
upon them, but also in more regular and &C.
tive bilious secretion, and the disappearance OF
wind on the stomach, and colicky rains. The
digestion is then effectually expelled, and the
system more thoroughly purified by the chan
mel devoted to that purpose by nature.

Statistics About the UDpoetic Cow.
From the New Haven Union.

DR.. E. 81. Jenkins, who lectured on
milk" in North Sheffield Hall last evening,
defined COW as "a wonderful machine. "
He said that good COW, weighing from
$50 to 1000 pounds, will consume from
oight and half to ten tons Of fodder per
annum; and will produce from two to two
and a half tons Of milk in the same period.
There are in Connecticut from liz, 900 to
$4,000 COWS.
The aggregate value Of dairy products in
this country is found to be from $40O 000,-
600 to $500, 1000, 900, giving employment to
at least 5,000,000 people. All Of this will

GENERAL LIEB.

What the Editor Of The Democrat Has to
Say.
Chicago Times.
The name OF our Yellow journalist and
townsman, Gen. Lieb, stands in the jour-
nalistic rank Of ht roic commanders in "the
late unpleasantness," foremost.
He is day editor and publisher Of one
of the leading German newspapers Of the
northwest, -viz., The Chicago Democrat,
the circulation of which embraces not only
the various cities Of states and territories in
our list, but those Of several Of the Euro
pean powers. The number Of years through
which has extended the existence of Til Q
Democrat aud other papers, daily and week.
ly. is conclusive proof of this gentlemans
successful career.
The writer, who of late hald a conversa-
ton with the general on the enterprising
men Of the present day, was highly pleas
ed TO hear him speak as follows:
Among the enterpristng men OF the
present day, said the general thoughtfully,
and the men who command the most at.
tention from the public for the good that
they are continually doing. know of none
to be compared to the firm Of A. Vegler &
Co., Of Baltimore, Nd, the proprietors
of st. Jacobs Oil,-the Great German
Remedy, kwho leave to mankind their
greatest boon in that most wonderful rem.
edy."
dYou sneak very highly of st. Jacobs Oil,
general" remarked the writer. Are your
words the outgrowth of experience with
the great medicine, that you recommend it
80 highly?"
"They are, SIR" was the answer. I hap
pened to know Of some good work per-
formed by st. Jacobs Oil, and subsequently,
am able to make the assertions. 1t is a
standard family medicine at my home; we
keep it there right along. and when there is
pain, ache, burn, or other ailment to be
driven from our camp. st. Jacobs Oil is
brought into requisition, and co mes of
victorious every time.
st. Jacobs Oil, is the remedy far rheu-
matism and neuralgia, without any manner
or doubt, and people who suffer from these
diseases ought to be made acquainted with
that fact. Whenever I had occasion to use
the Oil found it all its proprietors claim
for it. and more too. I know of several
besides myself who say the aame thing
Let me tell you my dear sir, said the gen.
eral as he prepared to enter the city build
ings. Il like st. Jacobs Oil for the enter
prise shown by it's discoveries: like st.
Jacobs Oil for the good it is going to do. :"
After saying which the general, in that
pleasant manner peculiar to him, bade US
courteous adieu, and we took our departure,
almost wishing that We had occasion to use
it ourselves, SO that we might add our mite
of praise to the words of our distinguished
German fellow citizen, General Lieb.
