now in this country, has been ratified at the
state department and proclaimed by the
President.
The chief of the secret service division of
the treasury department has been advised
that most dangerous counterfeit of the
standard silver dollar has made its appear
ance. The base coin has the exact weight,
ring and appearance of the genuine, and
resists the acid test unless the outer coating
of silver is penetrated. 1t would readily be
accepted as genuine by merchants. Several
of the pieces have only been discovered upon
reaching sub-treasury.
GENERAL THOMAS ]. BRADY, one of the de-
PENDANTS in the star-route cases, appeared on
the witness stand and tes tiled that in July,
1876, he was appointed second assistant post
general and retired in April, 1881
Witness specifically denied all the charges in
connection with the letting out of star-route
contracts made against him by the prosecu-
ton.
The two ambassadors with the unpro-
nounceable names from Madagascar Wis
tied the state department and made {. part
ing call upon the President. The ambassa-

to them. The President expressed the hope
that their visit might lead to closer relations
between the two governments.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that " the ex-
clusion of American pork from Germany
may very probably, if it is persisted in, lead
Congress when it meets to the adoption OF
retaliatory measures in the way of prohibit
ing the importation of German products.
The state department correspondence shows
conclusively that there is no proof in Ger
many that American pork has caused dis
ease. The evidence is clear to the contrary"

A TRAIN ran into a mail coach near Craw-
louisville, Ind, killing the driver and Mil
ton Rusk and Elizabeth Clark, passengers.
A CORRESPONDENT who has made steam
boat trip along the overlooking Mississippi
from Helena, Ark, to Memphis, Tenn, says;
Between Helena and Memphis nothing was
to be seen except water, which was over every
thing. Houses half-submerged met the eye
all along the route, with occasional strips of
levees, upon which could be seen cattle that
were gaunt and will die from hunger unless
food is carried to them. At Austin, which is
the county seat of Tunica county, Miss, the
water flowed through the streets and
flooded nearly all of the country.
Mrs. j. ii. Hannah, residing few
miles below Austin, finding her dwelling
entirely surrounded by water, and driven to
desperation by the fact that she had no
provisions, deliberately committed suicide
by taking a dose of morphine. Two negroes,
Tom Brown and Aaron Smith, were drowned
in the overflow back of Austin 10y the capsiz-
ing of dugout. The water invaded nearly all
the dwellings in Austin, which has no levee
to protect it, as it was thought to be above
high-wate- mark. At the Sunday services in
an Austin colored church the minister occu-
pied the roof, while his congregation listened
TO him from skifs. Nearly all the planta-
tions on the Mississippi river between Helena
and Memphis were submerged"

The roof of a theatre in Havana fell in
upon a clffee-house, demolishing that build
ing and killing n number of the inmates.
INTELLIGENCE from Paris says that the re-
cent disturbance there is due to the fact that
60,0G0 persons are out of employment. Many
foreigners are keeping away from the city
owing to its unsetle condition.
As many as 1900 persons have been ar
rested in the province of Andalusia, Spain,

The London Times correspondent at Paris,
speaking of the rumor that President Grevy
intended TO resign, says that the general
political situation, the constant strides of
radicalism, the chronic instability of cabinets,
the insults of reactionary organs and the
thre ats made at anarchist meetings explain
the des;. Of NJ. Grevy to resign the presi
dency.

Lord Kames used to relate q story
of man who claimed the honor Of his
acquaintance on rather singular
grounds. His lordship, when one of
the justiciary judges, returning from
the north circuit to Perth, happened
one night to sleep at Dunkeld. The
next morning, walking towards the
ferry. but fearing he had missed his
way. he asked man whom he met to
conduct him. The other answered,
with much cordiality. "That l will do
with all my heart, my lord. Does not
your lordship remember me? My
names John Y; have had the honor
to be before your lordship for stealing
sheep" "Oh, John, l remember you
well And how is your wife? She
had the honor to be before me too for
receiving them, knowing them to be
stolen" "At your lordship's service.
We were very lucky indeed to get off
for want of evidence and am still
going on in The butcher trade. "
"Then," replied his lordship, 1--WE may
have the honor of meeting again"

What to Eat.

AS a general principle it may be
laid down that meat, fish or poultry in
a state of decay cannot be eaten with
safety, since symptoms of irritant
poisoning have so frequently arisen
from this cause. But little consider
alton will show us the impossibility Of
drawing a hard and fast line upon this
point. We relish venson which has
partially undergone decay, while we
at once reject beef or mutton in SINH
lar condition. Again, poultry to be
palatable, must be fresh, yet we do not
scruple to eat game which is far adj
vanced in decomposition
There is no doubt that in many
cases we are guided by our palates in
determining what food is wholesome
for us; for while many of us eat
mouldy cheese Chinaman will
swallow bad eggs, and some races en-
Joy fish which we should consider
putrid. Even as regards oysters,
which are generally relished in proper
ton to their freshness, it is sometimes
a matter of taste. For example, it is
recorded of the first monarch of the
House of Hanover that he objected to
the English native oyster as deficient
in flavor. 1t was privately suggested
by shrewd courtier that the native
oyster should be allowed to become
somewhat stale before being brought
to a royal table. The king at once
recognized the flavor which had always
pleased him so much at Herrenhausen,
and gave orders that in the future he
should always be supplied from that
particular bed-a thing easily accom-
plished under the circumstances.
The absence of evil consequences
after eating food which has undergone
a certain amount Of decay is doubtless
due in many cases to the completeness
of the cooking process; but this does
not initiate against the general rule
that food in any stage of decay is I'M
wholesome and should be avoided.
OF late years there have been many
cases of poisonous symptoms arising
from the use Of canned meats. The
cause appears mainly to have been i'm
proper methods of canning, or the use
of meat that was tainted before being
canned. An examination of the out
side of the can is our only available
guide as regards this class Of article.
The head of the can should be slightly
concave, whereas if it be convex it
shows that decomposition has already
commenced within the can. Some
times through careless soldering the
preserved articles become contaminat-
ed with lead, and poisoning by this
substance is the result.

Hold On.

Hold on to your tongue when you
are just ready to swear, lie, or speak
harshly, or use an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to punch, strike, scratch, steal
or do any improper act.
Hold on to your foot when you are
on the point of kicking, running off
from study, or pursuing the path of
error, shame or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you
are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or
others are angry with you.
Hold on to your heart when evil as
sociates seek your company and invite
you to join in their mirth, games and
revelry.
Hold On to your good name, for it is
of more value than gold, high places
or fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth, for it will
serve you well and do you good
throughout eternity. Hold on to vir-
tue-it is above all price to you in all
times and places.
Hold on to your good character, for
it is and ever will be your best wealth.

Every boy and girl knows some
thing about diamonds, but perhaps the
word brings to mind only those rare
and beautiful gems that glisten in the
gaslight. What would you think if I
should tell you that the gaslight itself
is made of diamonds is, Of black
diamonds? Yes, the wise men tell us
that the precious stones in the queens
crown, and the coarse, black coal that
is burnt in stove or CRATE, or made
into gas, are mainly Of the same sub
stance 1t is very odd, but Goals are
called black diamonds.
dare say but few boys and girls
who read this paper know where all
the black diamonds come from. Some
would say out of very deep holes in
Pennsylvania, but that answer is only
a piece of an answer. A great many
cars loaded with these jewels roll away
from West Virginia every day, and
the coal was never so low down as
when put on the cars. 1t comes from
high up On the mountains, from one
hundred to one thousand feet above
the river; not from deep shafts, you
see, but from openings made in the
sides of the mountains. There white
men and black men, with little lamps
hooked on their caps, go to work in the
morning; and when they come out
before dark, all are equally black.
Sometimes the men take their little
boys along to keep them out Of
mischief, and it is very sad for the
poor little boys to be buried all day in
the coal-bank, without any sunshine
or playthings or song-birds around.
They grow up ignorant and shy, and
very different from other boys. Thus
once, when the story of Moses in the
bulrushes was told a great class of
them together, none knew the name of
the baby Pharaoh's daughter found,
till one said it was George Washing
ton!
Another little boy was given a
ball for a Christmas gift, and he asked
q man what he must do with it. I
suppose he would have eaten it if tie
man had told him to.
1t is bad not to know about Moses
and gum-balls, but 1 once saw some
thing still worse. One boy was away
from school several days, and 1 found
him building a little house, as boys

often do. But on it he had painted,
with great pride, al. NJ, Saloon" He
thought the best thing boy could
have was a saloon with his own name
on it. No boy who reads this would
fancy such an honor, l am sure.
Another child, two years old, has no
name, because its parents are heather,
and will not have the little thing bap-
tiled.
What can be done for such children ?
They are to Christian children what
black diamonds are to precious stones;
made of the same material, body and
soul, yet as different as night is from
day.

BE Honest.

There was once little girl named
May When she was seven years old
she had great habit of running away,
and once, when she was wandering
about in the yard, she found bright
five-cent piece. AT first she thought
she would keep it, for her mother was
not very well off, with two or three
little ones besides her; but just then
she remembered what her Sunday
school teacher had told her, that she
must never take pin which did not
belong to her, so' she went into the
house and told her mother all about it.
Her mother was just then talking to a
lady who told her that her little boy
had lost the five cents, and then she
kissed little May, and told her that it
was very sweet of her to try and find
the owner, and the very next day a
box came for May, and in it was a
beautiful doll, and that was Mays re-
ward Young People.

Recognizing Merit.

A touching little anecdote of the
late Due de Malakoff is just now
going the rounds of the French papers.
AS Marshal Pclissier he had the repu-
tation of being both stern and violent
when his temper was reused; but UNI
derneath this exterior he had warm
heart, and was swift to recognize real
merit. One day, when at Toul for a
review, he saw poor funeral passing
by. On the coffin was the uniform Of
sergeant-major Of chasseurs-a-pied;
an aged man walked YEARLY behind it,
and very small handful Of friends
followed him. The marshal sent one
Of his generals to inquire particulars,
and learned that the soldier being
borne to his long home had been
severely wounded at Magenta, and,
though sufficiently recovered to return
to his home for rest and change of air,
he died Of debility. His eldest brother
uiu Dctu hllltQ III lilc Sllluctt, anu
their old father was a retired ieuten-
ant, who starved rather than lived on a
pension of about four hundred francs
per annum. A month afterwards the
marshal returned to Toul, and invited
the old lieutenant to come and break
fast with him at the hotel at eleven
o'clock. Covers were laid for two; the
marshal sat down briskly, and his
guest followed his example. But no
sooner did the old man unfold his servi-
cite than he uttered cry, for under
meath it was the cross of the legion of
honor, with its red ribbon and two large
official envelopes. The veteran
sighed, his hands trembled, he could
neither rise nor speak, but gazed at his
host, who took the decoration, fastenef
it to his button-hole, threw the envei-
opes on the table, and said, This is
your brevet as legionnaire, and that
is pension of one thousand francs a
year. Now let us attack the omelette,
for l am in a great hurry"
