COL. HioGINsoN,s STORY.

When Mrs. Liyermore lectured in Cam
bridge she was introduced to the audience
by Col I, W. Higginson in tho following
felicitous manner
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN James Il. Fields
used to tell story of town in New Hamp-
shire from which the men had enigrated in
such large numbers that the women remain
ing behind were in an overwhelming major,
ity. Among them WINS one woman pre-emi-
nent for executive ability. She was sum
moned to advise on all knotty questions,
aud 10 assist in all difficult undertakings.
Weddings, funerals donation parties, school
meetings, church arrangements, and to what
ever work she gave herself, il straightway
went on to success. One Of the families in
the town missed the youngest member OF
the household boy of eight years, just as
the Thanksgiving dinner was being put on
the table II was so strange a thing that he
should be absent when turkey was to be
aerved that search was immediately insti-
tuted for him He WINS found ut the bottom
OF the well in the back yard, and measures
were promptly taken for his relief. A rope
was lowered to him, but IL was rotten and
broke. A chain was next tried, but It was
too short. Then u pole was extended him,
but the little fellow conld not grasp 1t tight
ly enough. Disguised at last with the
futile attempts to release him, the indignant
boy shouted up to them; g Why don't You
go and get Miss Kent, you fools" In our
perplexity OYER this question Of {. license or

LETTER FROM LONG BRANCH.


Mr.. EDITOR In my letter of May

coast and particularly at this place. The
next morning tthe 18th of Aay,) the
storm had somewhat subsidized, and went
ont to view the mighty ocean again.

overturned nice summer house down on

caved down the embankment SO as to
spoil the sidewalk. While ! was viewing

there was ship ashore at Deal Beach,
two miles below. Away went the crowd
and | along with them, all hurrying to

taking of the passengers and crew and
landing them safely on shore. The pass
engers were all brought ashore by life
rope in what is called breeches buoy.
The crew came ashore in small boats.
The vessel was Il large one Of the Liver
pool line, and loaded with seventy thou
sand bushels of green coffee, and the
coffee is total loss, as it has been washed
and is still being washed out of the vessel
and coming ashore, and one can gather
coffee by the bushel from Asbury Park

POISON IN EVERY DAY FooD.


Committees OF experts tell Of aiulteraiicn
In food that is simply appalling Were the
ingredients which are mixed with food in
nocuous it would still be very great hard
ship; but when it is known that the most
violent poisons are employed it is marvel
that the whole country does not rise up and
put stop to snch practices and punish all
dealers who sell poisonous articles of food.
If confirmation OF these startling statements
were needed one has only to read the facts
recently brought to light in Chicago, where
it is impossible to find pure sugar and where
not ten per cent. of the milk is good. In
that city the bread without exception Is
poisonous the tens were never imported,
bnt are made of leaves "faced" with Prus-
sian blue and chromate of lead Seventy
FIVE per cent of the cream of tartar is white
earth, and the coffee is coated with lamp
black. But Chicago is no worse than other
cities Baking powders are largely com
posed of alum Picking fluid is diluted
with sulphnric acid, alum and yerdigris to
give it peculiar flavor.
The manufacture of great deal of ouI
confectionery should be punished az crime,
for much of the candy sold TO children is
simply lump of white earth, made attrac-
tive to the eye with arsenicai paint, and
sweetened with glucose. Costly spices are
counterfeited in terribly grotesque man
me- the fayoring being given by the rank
est poisons In these and other adnltera-
tons arsenic plays the largest part. We
import annually 100000 pounds of this
deadly poison lone cents worth of which
would kin $500 people and the bulk of
this import is used in preparation of food
and clothing.

The Democracy of Hoboken are cor
tainly to be pitied One of their Inspect
ors in a strong Democratic District of the
Fourth WaId ut the recent election, after
the voting was closed, got drunk and
went off SO that the votes were not count
I'd until after the time required by law. .
They were therefore thrown out and the
seat In the Common Council givon to the
Republican candidate, who had majority
in the other Districts of the Ward. This
made the Council Republican, aud they
proceeded to fill the offices with persons
belonging to that party. The Courts,
however, which were appealed to, gave
the Democratic Councilman his seat, but
this makes the Council tie, and the Re
publican officials cannot be ousted. Hence
the gnashing Of teeth, and the howls at
the drunken Inspector.

PHILADELPHTA, june 1st, 1882.
The Decoration Day services and les
tiyities are over, and. have left in all
minds a most pleasant impression. The
holiday which was at first begun In an
informal manner, has taken so firm hold
on the minds of the people that II has be
come a national occasion, second in inn
portance only to the Fourth of July. The
exceptionally fine weather Of Tuesday
gave everybody chance for outdoor OBJ
servance Of the day in the most felieitous
manner. There was very little nonsense
about It, and almost no rowdyism or
drunken rs. Most of the speeches were
Loted for their absence of spread-eagteism,
and their abundant common sense. The
general conduct of ,ne public WINS such as
to contradict the old libel which is to the
effect that Americans do not know how 10
use holiday.
TIE YOUNG ORATORS.
The various academies and colleges
which hold annual commandments
are now getting ready for their customary
display Of literary talent Notwithstand-
ing the partial Improvements made in
late years in the matter of commencement
haraDgues, there is still time honored
practice Of launching wearsome TRADES
ON patient audiences. Many of the grad
yates select subjects which have little or
nothing to do with anything that is Of in
terest to the present generation. They
treat these subjects in rs soemnly stupid
fashion, as if writing articles about them
for a Quarterly Review or an Encyclo-
pedia. Yet the kind friends and sympa-
thizing relations who consent to listen to
these things really appear to be pleased
with them, and politely present baskets
Of flowers to the speakers as soon as the
speeches are delivered.
AS TO KEEPING TIME.
The man who is behind time nova
days is generally laughed at, because it is
supposed to be the duty of every good
citizen TO provide himself with a watch,
and to keep it going as accurately as he
can. Good watches are now produced at
such moderate cost that almost any
thrifty person can have an accurate time
keeper of his own. One of the best little
compendiums of information on watches
is the dainty little book which Bailey,
BANKS & Biddle have just published, and
which they freely send to whoever writes
a request for it. 1t tells not only about
| modern watches, but about the clumsy
old things of former ages, which were
marvels of ingenuity for those days, but
which kept time IN the most random sort
OF way aud which were but the precursors
of the triumphs of mechanism which are
now carried in eyerybody's pocket.
EXCURSIONS.
!, The Summer excursion season now be-
/ gins in good earnest. All the world and
his family take their lunch baskets and
| go for a day by steamboat or rail. There
/ are blessings and nuisances IN these ex-
eursions. When the conyeyances are not
packed too full, and when everybody is in
good humor, the weather being just right
aud the time table working as advertised,
! there is a good chance for day of joy.
