A movement il the ante-parlOT, hush,
a cOnstraint Of gossip, and the attention of
every one was attracted by the entrance
Of a gentleman in the robes Of cardinal.
''Who is the gentleman" asked Eloise
Flint.
1T is the new CdmerleRgo,7 returned
the politician. "a man who until his
appointment was rarely seen in Rome,
and who is known but to few"
'His Nance"
''Ah, yes. He is the Cardinal Pecci."
Then the ladies and SignOr CrucelliO
compared some notes, and as an outcome
OF this little work the doctor trOtted away,
to subsequently return with Cardinal
Pecci, whom he presented to 'sthe sig
nOTinas whose grandmother knew YOU
The dignitary stopped calamity, rather
than bowed, over the ladies' hands, and
with Old-schOOl grace tapped their palms
with his long fOrefinger.
The fair Americans had never come so
near cardinal before. This one was tall
but did not stOOp; spare and lean. HIS
face though not handsome was singularly
distingue and keen, but the features were
kindly and a smile lit up all the cOunte-
nance. 4 voice that was quite as sweet a IS
any they had ever heard, spoke to them in
pure English.
Cardinal Pecci remembered Gen. St.
Clair, and, sitting down, he talked Of
Brussels, brlgand5 and Leopold. Then
he spoke Of Ameriea-''the land Of the
free, and the home of the brave7-of some
matters of a personal nature and Of
Rome. All this in a few minutes; and
then he bowed and retired from the
alcOve. The ladies were impressed with
his fine bearing, and their red letter OF

Slavery in Brazil.

on the 18th of March slavery was form
ally abolished in the province of Ceara, in
Brazil, making it the first free State in the
empire. The abolition sentiment has long
been powerful in Brazil, and a law was
passed in September, 1871, providing that
after that date all children born of slave
mothers should be free, although bound to
serve the owners Of their mothers for 81
years as apprentices. At the same time
the slaves belonging to the imperial gov
eminent were emancipated, the abuses of
freedom being provided against by rigid
vagrancy laws. Many private individuals
followed the example of the government,
and liberated their slaves, the number
freed reaching about 80, 600 during the first
year after the passage Of the law.
1t IS thought that the provinces imme-
distely adjoining Ceara viii be forced to
follow its example, and the probabilities
are that i'm three or four years slavery viii
be entirely abolished in over half Of the
empire. 1t is believed the slaves viii be
freed i'm every portion Of Brazil in less
than ten years, and many allege that the
institution cannot exist beyond 1890.
Inc aDOlHDNisIS OF brazil are not
moved by philanthropic consideration
alone. The slaye-holding class of that
country forms an aristocracy of which
the masses are intensely jealous. As long
as slavery exists, the want of sufficient
hired labor retards the prosperity Of those
who do not own slaves and are unable to
buy them. With free labor the power of
the slave aristocracy IS destroyed in a
great measure, and all have an equal
chance in the struggle for wealth. The
Act that many persons have voluntarily
liberated their slaves, however, shows
that the emancipation movement IS not
altogether dictated by self interest.
Abolition rs accomplished in Ceara
does not involve the province in any very
great political complications. The slave
is simply given his freedom. His social
status is scarcely changed at all. Politi-
callybe is classed with minors and monks,
who are not entitled TO vote under the
laws of Brazil. 1t is probable, however,
that the freedmen will advance in civil
cation and prosperity faster than II rights
wore thrust upon them which they are
not competent to understand or exercise.

HEINE,S RELATIONS.

some Facts Found in His Memoirs.
Heine, in the memoirs lately printed for
the first time, says that he never knew
much about his fathers relations. ''My
father himself was quiet man and did
not care to tell me old stories. Only once
when l was a small boy l asked a cues
tion about his father. Half laug hingly. half
angrily, he answered: Your grandfather
was a little Jew and had a long beard.'
Next day when l came into the large con-
vent schOOl-rOOm where my little COM
rades were already assembled, FASTENED
to tell them the important news which my
father nad told me-that my grandfather
had been little Jew with a long beard.
Scarcely had l made this communication
when all over the room it was repeated in
all possible keys, accompanied by the
imitation of animal voices. The chill
dren jumped over the desks. tore the
blackboards from the walls. split
the ink, upset the chairs, laughed,
crOWed, neIghed, barked, and grunted,
the refrain always being the grandfather,
little Jew with a big beard. The en-
trance of the master stopped the noise,
the culprit who had raised the rebellion
was soon found out and received a sound
whipping in return for his interesting
communication. 1t was the first whip
ping l ever got, and en- that occasion
made the philOsOphic observation that
God, who created whippings, had in His
great wisdom ordered that the whipper
should in the end get tired, otherwise
whipping would become Unbearable. The
stick l was whipped with was a yellow
cane, but the marks it left on my back
were dark blue

The ODiun1 Habit.

Those who are not in position to know
dOnot realize how general the opium Rbit
is. and how rapidly it is spreading. The
public every once in a while gets an ink
ling Of the truth from a newspaper arti-
Gle, giving startling facts gathered from
druggists in one city and another relative
10 the rapid increase in the consumption
Of morphine. II is in the shape of NOR
Prime that the deadly opium is most gen.
orally taken. The opium habit is almost
always formed by taking small doses of
morphine to allay pain, and frequently on
the prescription of a physician. In fact,
almost without exception a chronic dis
ease is back of the opium habit. In taking
morphine the victims in the beginning do
not realize their danger. They repeat the
doses again and again. enjoying the
relief they receive and feeling con-
fident that they are strong enough to
stop the use Of the drug at any time.
There never was a greater mistake.
When the habit is fully formed it is al
most impossible to break 1t. Those who
possess the strongest wills recognize its
relentless and resistless power, and after
period of impOtent struggling submit
and look only to death for relief. Its
bonds are more terrible than those which
bound Prometheus to the pillar while the
eagle fed upon his vitals, because Prone
theus was at last released. The opium
habit does not release its victims. 1t holds
them, slowly destroying them mentally,
morally and physically. until death comes
and takes them from its grasp. Almost
every day the public prints record a sui
eide, sometimes two or three and some
times half a dozen. Who knows how many
Of them are morphine's victims Now
and then one Of them leaves a record dis
closing the whole horrible truth. Usually
they are so Disguised with themselves
and with life, and so thoroughly ashamed
oftheir weakness, that they leave no sign.
The few who know the truth cover their
SIN with the mantle of charity. Drink has
robbed many a home Of its nOblest and
best, and made it the abode Of curses,
crime and wretchedness; but this demon,
morphine. has secured a Judgment in
thousands OF hOuseh0 all over the land,
from which it has banished domestic hap
I piness and joys, and where it is working
moral and physical ruin 50 secretly as to
be unsupported by those in the immediate
vicinity. Surely there ought to be means
adopted to arrest the opium evil. Laws
( are made to check and to regu-
late the liquor evil. Why not
do something to put morphine under
lock and key: Why allow such
destructive agent unlicensed free
dom: The morphine victims are now
numbered by tens of thousands. Why
allow the number to be increased if there
is any way to prevent it? Why should
morphine be sold to every one who has a
dime to buy it? We quarantine against
yellow fever, smallpox and other infec-
lions or contagious diseases which are
liable to become epidemic, and yet we
place no restriction on That which makes
life worthless, and which annually sends
tens of thousands to untimely graves.

Memorial Day Suggestion.

The 2eth Of April is the day set apart
for demonstrations in honor of the dead
soldiers Of the Lost Cause. The people
viii meet in nearly every Southern city
and village to praise the deeds of our de-
parted heroes and to strew their graves
with flowers. The celebration of Memo
rial Day is a beautiful and commendable
custom, and it is to be hoped that it will
not soon fall into disuse.
With all due respect to all parties con-
cerned, it must be said that the exercises
of Memorial Day Will appear to the world
as but hollow mockeries unless some
earnest steps are taken looking to the
preservation and protection Of the Con
federate soldiers graves.
A few days age the papers all over the
country printed an account Of the cele-
bratiOn by Federal veterans OF the ami
versary of the battle of Shiloh. The mar
ratives spoke of the beautiful national
cemetery where "the marble slabs at the
/ head Of the graves rose like the undulat.
ing waves" while ''the Confederate dead
lay buried in the surrounding fields with.
out stone to mark the spOt.''
What a sad comparison! Hundreds and
hundreds of Southern loved ones, who
nobly went to battle for what they con-
ceived to be a righteous cause, sleep in
forgotten graves. But Shiloh is not the
only Confederate burial ground not prop.
erly cared for. They may be numbered
by the score.
The lines of the Southern people have
fallen in hard places since the war. They
have been too poor, perhaps, to do their
duty in this matter, but prosperity is be-
ginning to smile on US again. There can
be no excuse for further delay. The ap.
preaching Memorial Day should not be
allowed to pass without an earnest move.

substitutes for Matches.
Chicago 3e,rs.


Countless accidents. as every one
knows, arise from the use Of matches
To obtain light without employing them
and so without the danger of setting
things on fire, an ingenious cOntriyance
is now used by the watchmen Of Paris in
all the magazines where explosive or in
flammable materials are kept. ANY one
may easily make trial Of it. Taxa an
OblOng vial Of the whitest and clearest
glass and put into it a piece of phospho-
rus about the size OF pea. Pour some
olive oil, heated to the boiling point, upon
the phosphorus; fill the vial about one
third full and then cork it tightly. To use
this novel light remove the cork, allow the
air to enter the vial and then recork it..
The empty space in the vial will become
luminous, and the light obtained will be
equal to that Of a lamp. When the light
grows dim its power can be increased by
taking out the cork and allowing a fresh
supply of air to enter the vial. In winter
it is sometimes necessary to heat the vial
between the hands, in order to increase
the nuidity Of the oil. The apparatus
thus made may he used for six months.
