MISCELLANY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

1t was the decisive proof of Mr.. Longfel.
lows amiability that he never refused an
autograph. There are probably tens OF
thousands of his picturesque signatures scat
tered through the albums of school-boys in
this country. There are other American
authors quite as generous and genial as the
poet of Hiawatha," who, ON principle,
throw every application for their autographs
into the waste-paper basket.
AZ 1 began" said well-known poet, "by
giving my name to everybody who asked for
it. But imagine my sensations when going
into shop in New York where autographs
are sold, to see mine labelled THE poet
Blank Blank. Two for three cents = II
they had been sold for cent apiece, I
should not have minded it. But two for
three cents Like decayed bananas, or
stale eggs vowed in my wrath never even
to read letter asking for my name again. :"
Boys and girls who ask for autographs
doubtless think it churlish in an aathor, ar.
tist or statesman to refuse them 1t would
only, they think, take five minutes to scrb-
BILE name, put it in an envelope and mail
il.
Men to whom v.ery minute of the day
has its use and value, receive these applica-
tons with every mail If they were only
made by persons who had read their books,
or appreciated their work and desired pre-
cious memento of them, the request would
be excusable. But the applications gener.
ally come from young people, who have
given up the mania for stamps and coins,
and have taken that for autographs-yalue,
two for three cents"
" / have actually not time" said public
man, lately, to give an hour in the day to
my own children : yet hero are ten lettere
from absolute strangers asking me for my
autograph with an original thought or "a
favorite sentiment They inclose stamps,
too, so that if do not answer them, be-.
come thief of three cents!n
The requests of these inconsiderate ad.
mirers not are limited to autographs. A
popular author opened drawer in her library
lately and drew out letter from the secre-
tary of a church fair, asking for "a line
from one of her works, written on a square
piece of one of her gowns, to make an al.
bum quilt for the pastors wife"
Another correspondent CURLY demanded
her exact age and the circumstances attend.
ing her marriage, as she had heard they
were romantic" Another wanted to know
the price paid her by certain magazines.
Others contained requests for all kinds OF
.avors and information, as though public
writer was a public servant.
Fame, in its vague, brilliant sense, is a
tempting hope to almost all young people !;
but fame in reality, to the middle-aged man
Sho has had a great ennnd to the world,
md has tried honestly to discharged, means
usually the intrusion of the vulgar public
into the sanctities of his private life.
He is glad that his message has been heard
and understood, but that the world should
be curious to know the length of his nose and
the color of his neck-tie, is to him mortify
ing and degrading.

POROUS PLASTERS.

$50 you strike all classes of customers,
sh2" said the newspaper man, hoping &c
draw him out.
"Well I should cackle," said the druggist.
"a woman camo in this morning and
handed me an old back number porous
plaster, ono that looked as though 1t had
been taken off an Egyptian mummy, and
wanted me to give her another one. She
said the cid one was no good She said the
old man had worn il on his back for two
weeks and It never drew blister. 1t just
loafed around on his back, and was Of no
more account than so much sand paper !
tried to tell her that porous plaster was
not intended to blister, but simply to retain
the back in its proper place, and let the
pain crawl out through the holes. She
kicked and said was worse fraud than
the other plaster.

FREcKnEs AN ADJUNCT TO BEAuTY.--
Speaking of the supposed cause of freckles,
the Philadelphia Record says: Whether
these theories be wise or otherwise, and
whether means for the prevention of these
blemishes win be the outcome of all the
scientific research expended in that direction
Is problematical, but for the consolation Of
our correspondent, who is evidently in ear
nest, we assert that some of the brightest,
most piquant faces we ever beheld were COW
cred with freckles One brilliant young
lady, whom we knew in our youth, and who
was leading belle in an Eastern city for
many seasons, used to declare that her
freckles were valuable adjunct to her per-
sonal appearance, and that without them she
would be bereft of half her power to charm.
There are spots the sun why should there
not be spots on the daughters ?"

From Examination Hall We went to that
terrible aeeldama, the execution ground, in
the southeast corner of the city of Canton
writes a correspondent. "One can hardly
look without shudder on the spot where 80
many thousands have been beheaded In q
little open space not more than 90 feet wide
and 100 feet long more human blood has
flowed than on any other place of the same
size round the world From ten to fifty are
generally executed at a time. Sometimes
the executions amount to several hundred
annually. During war times $4,000 have
been beheaded ON this Golgotha in single
year. One missionary said he had seen
forty heads cut off in single morning, and
another time had seen heads piled up six
feet high. Another missionary said he had
seen two hundred headless bodies lying here
at once. The victims are ordered to kneel
down, the heads are stretched forward, then
one blow Of the short, heavy, sharp sword Of
the executioner cleaves the neck and the
guilty wretches lie weltering ia their blood.
The bodies are given to friends, tho govern.
merit keeping the heads, which ere sorne
times exposed in public places, but gener-
ally there are put in stone jars sprinkied
with qaicklime, then sealed up with plaster
On soing up to row of these jars a China
man ventured to open one for our inspec.
ton. One glance at the ghastly CORY heads
within was enough. From among the hu.
man bones that lay around picked up and

plainly shows the cash of the sharp sword
of the executioner. Leaning against the
wall of the execution ground were several
rude crosses, on which criminals of great
snormity are tied, Naked while their bodies
are cut to pieces with sharp swords or
knives. A slice is taken from each arm,
then from each leg, and from the breast
Finally mortal stab is given to the beart.-.

HE7pLEssNEss OF WOMEN.

GAS soon as our girls are born" remarked
Baltimore minister in q recent sermon,
Everything with which they come in con.
act seems to desire to impress them with an
dea Of their helplessness and consequent de-.
oendence. In amusements her brothers can
snjoy themselves with their toys, but not
she. This conspiracy to render her helpless
extends beyond the home roof. The shoe
maker delights to cripple the dear little
creatures feet the dressmaker adds her in
auence in this work of rain, making the
young girl even at the tenderest period of
her life the bearer of burdens such as would
break down the most robust lad of the same
age. The milliner mistakes the head for a
flower vase to be filed with rare and costly
lowers, to be carried in just such a position.
Even our systems of education are not yet
sntirely converted to the idea that female
minds can take very broad views of science
or art. That our girls live to be women,
and such grand and noble women, is indeed
IN exhibition of remarkable success under
remarkable difficulties. 1t has been said,
A nations true wealth is in her sons;' yet
no nation has ever arisen permanently above
her women, or been great or happy while
her women were held in degradation.
