When the Duke of Wellington was sick,
the last thing he took was little tea. On
his servant holding it to him on saucer.
and asking him if he would have it. the
Duke replied, eyes, if you please" These
were his last words. How much kindness
and courtesy is expressed in them He,
who had commanded the great armies in
Europe, and had long used the throne of
authority, did not despise OR overlook the
small courtesies of life All, how many
boys do What rude tone of command
they often use to their little brothers and
sisters, and sometimes to their mothers
this is ill-bred and unchristian, and shows
a coarse nature and hard heart In all
your home talk, remember if you please. "
To all who wait upon you and serve you,
believe that eff you please" will make you
better served than all the cross or ordering
words in the whole dictionary. Don't for
get three little words-''if you please. -
Life is made up not of great sacrifices or
duties, but of little things, of which smiles
and kindness, and small obligations, given
habitually, are what win and preserve the
heart, and secure comfort.-4Sd' Hlunphre1

ANOTHER NEGRO SUsPENsEDEs WHITE
MAN.-There was considerable excitement
among our citizens this morning when it
became known that the City Council, at
its meeting last night, had removed NIessrs.
Morrisett and Lowrie, two of the most ex-
perienced and efficient members of the po-
lice force, and had substituted i'll their
places white Readjuster, Enoch Taylor,
aud negro by the name of Bob Adams.
The only reason for the change must have
been OF a political nature, the officers re-
moved being Democrats, and those appoint
ed Coalitionists. This is simply carrying
out the policy of the party. which is to use
official patronage within their control to
reward their friends and extend their int1u-
ence.
But the best elements of society in this
city-the men who own the property and
are the most deeply interested in it's pros
perity and good government-cannot but
view with alarm the evident tendency of
the present Council to increase the influ-
ence of the negro in our city government
by promoting him to Office over the heads
OF more competent and more responsible
white men.--DQnriUe Reqister,

LIME FOR FowLs.-Fresh burned lime
is caustic, pungent, and acrid, and if given
to fowls and they swallow any of it, it will
cause infiamationof the crop, and possibly
death may follow. The mucous membrane
of the crop is very sensitive, and the effect
of caustic lime upon it may be realized by
person who will put little of the lime in
his mouth or the eye. When lime is given
to fowls it should be in the mild or carbon
ated state as in the form of powdered oys-
ter shells, bones, or old mortar. No doubt
fowls require more lime than they can pro-
cure in their food or in the gravel they may
pick up, and the best manner of giving this
is in the way above mentioned.

FOR SOMEBODY'S SAKE.

As over llfe's mountains and wales
Our pilgrimage journey we take,
We add to our trouble and care, q
And heavier burdens we bear
For somebody's sake.
Though deeply we're wounded by grief,
Though the heart may continue to ache,
Our sorrows we keep out of sight,
And our faces are smiling and bright
For somebody's sake.
We labor and toll all the day,
And many sacrifice make,
And at night may be weary and worn
With the trials we've cheerfully borne
For somebody's sake.
What wonderful tasks we achieve!
What wonderful deeds undertake!
And how sweet is the victory won,
When all we've accomplished was done
For somebody's sake!
The struggle that's only for self
No joy among angels may wake,
But the brightest of crowns will be given
To those who have suffered and striven
For somebody's sake.

Various Causes

Advancing years, care, sickness, disap-
pointment, and hereditary predisposi-
tion-all operate to turn the hair gray,
and either OF them inclines it to shed
prematurely. AYERS HAIR VIGoR will
restore faded or gray, light or red hair
to a rich brown or deep black, as may
be desired. 1t softenS and cleanses the
scalp, giving it healthy action. 1t
removes and cures dandrutf and humors.
By its use falling hair is checked, and
a new growth will be produced in all
cases where the follicles are not de-
stroyed or the glands decayed Its
effects are beautifully shown on brashy,
weak, or sickly hair, on which a few
applications will produce the gloss and
freshness of youth. Harmless and sure
in its results, it is incompatible as
a dressing, and is especially valued
for the soft lustre and richness of tone
it imparts.
AYERS HAIR VIGoR is colorless;
contains neither oil nor dye; and will
not soil or color white cambria; yet
it lasts long on the hair, and keeps
it fresh and vigorous, imparting an
agreeable perfume.

late in the fall, and they will afford sufi-

When Spring comes they will be found SC

SALT FOR SHEEP am pleased to see
that writers and flock owners are getting
awakened on this important subject. II
farmers and stock raisers would make
larger drafts on the salt barrel, l think
disease would make less frequent inroads
on their pockets. If sheep raisers would
see that their f1ocks received all the salt
they wanted, there would be fewer calls on
the pelt buyer. I have practiced allowing
sheep free access to salt for three years, and
find it an advantage TO the flock Sheep
can be allowed free access to salt without
injury, if they are accustomed to it gradu-
ally. They should be given little salt
every day, until they will leave part of it,
when they may be allowed free access to ii
in any quantity, without danger.
When sheep are confined to dry feed, it
will be an advantage to add little flower
of sulphur to the salt-say one pound to
six OF seven pounds of salt-it will prevent
the stretches. also think it will help to
rid flock of ticks, as my lambs, when |
first commenced to use it, were badly in
tested with them-so much SO that part of
them were very ragged from rubbing and
biting themselves. The next Spring, when
they were shorn, very few ticks were found,
and they have not been troubled with them
since. The sheep had not been dipped,
nor any other method used to get rid Of the
pests.-Cor. Nat. Lire Stock Journal.

Where Birds eat the Bead.

''The Towers of Silence are five in
number and stand within an Enclosure
measuring about $4,000 square yards.
There are also within the Enclosure house
of prayer for persons attending funeral, a
temple in which the sacred fire is kept al
ways burning and from which its rays, es-
Gaping through apertures in the wall, fall
upon the towers, and well laid out and
well cared for garden. In the garden is an
excellent model of tower, which is ex-
planned to visitors by the attendants. The
corpse of deceased Parsee, clothed in
white, is carried up the hill by an open
bier covered with white cloth the male
relatives and friends, all clothed in white,
following in pairs, each pair holding a
handkerchief between them. Some pray
ers having been said in the resthouse, the
bier is again taken up and the body con-
veyed to one of the towers. These towers
are round, massive-looking buildings, with
white plastered walls, the circumference OF
the largest of them being 276 feet and the
of three feet from the ground there is a
door in the wall, through which the corpse
bearers push the body, and then, entering
themselves, place it in its appointed place.
The interior of each tower, which is open
to the sky, is covered, at a height of TWEEN
ty-five feet from the ground, with circu-
lar flooring, which slopes downwards on all
sides to the csnter, and contains numerous
open grooves or receptacles for bodies.
The outer ring of this flooring is set apart
for the bodies of men, second ring for
those of women and the third or innermost
ring for those of children. At regular dis
tances, radiating channels intersect these
rings. The body having been deposited in
its place, the bearers retire, ard immedi-
ately swarm of vultures, which birds OF
prey may always be seen sitting in dozens
on the tops of the walls, swoop down and
strip the body of every particle of flesh i'll
less than two hours. After few days, the
corpse-bearers return, and collecting the
bones, which are then perfectly dried,
place them in the central wall, forty-five
feet wide, where they remain to be decom-
posed by the air and the rain. The mois-
ture runs off into the ground through filters
of charcoal and sand, and leaves nothing of
the human body in the inside of the tower
but the dry, crumbling bones.-Bombay

Getting the Fathers Consent.


81 tell you sir" Indignantly exclaimed
Col. Webley, addressing young man who
aspired to the hand of his only child, "that
I shall never give my consent to a union
which l know would be unhappy,
''We love each other,' replied young
Balehuff.
Glove be eternally bowed So 1 could
have said years ago. l was devoted to the
woman married and she was devoted to
me-"
"You have lived happily with each other,
have you not ?"
'cHappily p the Colonel contemptuously
repeated. "I didn't have money enough
to insure happiness. Even in Arkansaw a
man must have money. His wife may be
devoted to him, but if he fails to provide
those little delicacies which make life so
enjoyable to woman, she will speak of
this sad lack of comfort, and instead of at
tributing it to financial inability, will re-
gard it as wilful neglect. At times she
will be melting with affection and VOW that
your love is all that she cares for in this
world, but when some one, who, in worldly
goods, seems no richer than yourself, rides
in buggy with his wife, she loses sight
of the great sustaining love-"
81 am young man of energy and good
business capacity. I can work and earn
money"
''No use in prolonging this conversation.
I have told you that you shall not marry
my daughter. l shall keep a close watch,
and if I see you here again, 1 shall act with
violence"
Well, Colonel" said the young man with
firmness, 'tas the gentler recourses have
failed T am comne1led TO adont the 1asl
resort. Some time ago, before you sus-
pected that was attached to your daugh-
ter, you borrowed ten dollars from me. Do
not vince, sir; hear me through. You
thought that I had forgotten the transac.
ton, but havn't. Now, sir, l intended to
marry your daughter. If you persist in
annoying me, shall dun you for the money
every time see you
The Colonel sat for moment in deep
thought. Finally he said: ''Say, Bob,
don't say anything more about the ten
dollars. Lend me five more and take the
girl. "-ArkanSaaO TfaUeleT.

THE TARIFF.-From an article in the
Lynchburg Tirgiaia,a, we quote the follow
ing
SIT is right funny to see how Malone,
an old fre-eating Democrat, and the rene
gade Democrats who allow him to do their
thinking, are now coming out as blatant
protectionists !-undertakin to enlighten
old Wings on the tariff question, and de-
nouncing them as being enemies of the la
boring classes, because they refuse to &C
cept the burthens imposed upon those
classes to build up bloated monopolists,
who would run the Government in their in
terest. Such men, if they could take re-
buke, would feel what is conveyed in the
following by an old Wing newspaper that
is now republican, and still in favor of mod
crate protection to all American industries
that are affected by foreign competition.
The New York Times, of which we speak,
hits the nail squarely on the head in the fol-
lowing, wherein it says
'EMany of our manufacturers could, if
they were unhampered by the tariff, not
only defy foreign competition in the h me
market, but command profitable export
trade as we'll. 1t is mistaken application
of the doctrine of protection to prevent this.
If that be done, protection becomes favor
itism. 1t is not fostering one important
| interest at slight general cost; it is foster
ing special interests at the expense of 9TH
ers of equal Importance and to the general
disadvantage. Such misapplied bounty
should be gradually done away with. What
the country now requires is a steady ap-
proach toward commercial independence
| that will give us the full benefit Of our rich
resources, our varied national energy and
our beneiioent political institutions
