Thurlow Weed, was cabin boy on the
North River, and was in line of promo

Gould and Grant were tanners, John
Kelly was grate-setter, Dan Sickles wal

The POwder.Rag.

Among the passengers who got on one
of the elevated railroad trains at Four
teenth Street one afternoon last week,
says the New York World was stylish
good-looking young lady, who had pro-
badly oeen on a shopping expedition.
She was dressed to high point, and seem
ed to look on her surrounding sisterhood
in humble attire with some disdain. 1t
was warm, and she famed herself most
diligentl She had that way offAnning
herself right in the face, and throwing
her head little to one side, which you
have probably observed In young ladies
who are not over-anxious to hide them
selves from the public gaze. She wa
the least bit stout, her face was flushed
and she changed her position SO often
that one might have supposed she long
ed to be at home SO she could unlace a
tight corset and cool off.
AL of a sudden she made a nervous
grab for her bag, and when she got il
open began TO tumble about for two
things-her pretty little white handker,

That is, l suppose so. The first was 10

full in the hand as man ought to do
who venture around the uncertainties
of powder rag, but caught it up by a
tag end that stuck out, and when he
lifted it, with the most gracious bow
and tip of the hat, toward the blushinp
owner, it unrolled, and, 10! there was

How they Vote in Germany.

A striking feature of the German num-
icipal system is its entire independence
of national politics. Ne issue but those
arising out of municipal questions are
allowed to influence the city elections.
Every male inhabitant "a years of age
has right to vote in municipal elections
provided that he has his own household
and is not dependent upon father or
mother; that he has not received aims
from the public funds for twelve years;
that he has paid all municipal dues; that
he occupies house, pursuesa trade with
two employees; that he pays an income
tax or class tax. Under one or another
of these five conditions all industrious
persons in the city are included. That
all votes should count equally is regard
ed as unbusiness-l,ke. The arrangement
adopted to meet this point of view is
this: Voters are divided into three class
es, each of which elect one-third of the
city council To the first class are as
signed so many of the largest taxpayers
as pay one-third of the taxes assessed; to
the second so many as in the aggregate
pay the seconu third of the taxes; to the
third class belong all not included in the
first and second. Each of the three
three classes elect forty-two members OF
the council, its influence upon questions
of finance being kept in strict equality
with it's tax payment. The city council
of Berlin has long been conspicuous fol
the educational and financial standing o.
its members. Election to it is accounted
an honor, to which the ablest men of the
city aspire.

of dyspepsia of the mind. As some one
has said, it is to the brain what restau-
rant pie is to the stomach.
One of our exchanges reports case in
which scarlet fever broke out among the
children of farmers family soon after
the receipt Of letter from family that
had lost child by scarlet fever-the
circumstances thus pointing pretty plain
" to the transmission of the disease by
letter, which Is not, by the way, a new
thing; but the fact is sufficiently rare and
important to be worthy of nete.
Lancet says "Great power of mini i'm
plies great weakness under certain con-
ditions. The marvel is not that great
minds so often become deranged, but
that they so often escape arrangement.
Sleeplessness means not only unrest but
starvation OF the brain. Physiological
regeneration and rest the same thing.
Sleep is simply physiological rest. 1t is
curious to note how a sleepless patient
will set to work with all the calmness
of intelligent sanity to commit suicide"
The first pepsin was made by hermit
in Chautauqua county, NY, in 1858. He
was generally spoken ofas "Crazy Owen,
and when he died he Jeff samples of bis
pepsin with directions for use, to which
he added: "My advice is to eat light
suppers. This is got up under prayer
and will do good, | believe Eben
Owen" This is one more instance Of
valuable discovery emanating from a
man outside of the regular medical pro,
fession, and whether he means that the
advice to eat light suppers. OF the pepsir
was "got up under pray err" there seems
to be at least some evidence of the eff
cacy of prayer in the experience %

The Augusta Chronicle relates how 6
citizen hunted up health officer to in
vestigate his premises which he felt SURF
were pervaded with sewer gas. The
health officer had not proceeded far in
his investigations before he found bar
rel half full of melon rinds, apple par
ings, bread crumbs, tea leaves, etc. Tn,
citizen thought "if that was ali" ther'
was no use in "fooling around" any
more. He said, I'VE can get along will

How a Soldier Passed the sentinel With
a Counterfeit Countsrsign.
During the campaign of the First regi-
ment at Santa Rosa, the pickets found
considerable difficulty in preventing the
men absenting themselves without leave,
a circumstance for which the mint juleps
of the town bar rooms and the large con-
tingent of pretty Santa Rosa girls-small
blame to them-were chiefly accounta-
bic.
One particularly sultry evening, while
the sentinels we're pacing their beats
with their tongues fairly hanging out OF
their mouths with heat and wondering
whether the pirates in the mess tent
would drink every last drop OF beer pc
fore the relief" came, one OF the guards
observed a private approaching who was
staggering along under the combined
load of mucn convivality and en- enor-
nous watermelon under each arm.
"WhO goes there?"
"Er-hic-er fren,' responded the
truant.
Advance, friend, and give the coun'
tersign."
"Hain't got no-hic -countersign, y
anna ly replied the private; but III er
-hic-give yer er hic-wa mellin."
Pretty soon the officer of the day came
round, and said to the sentinel who was
absorbed IN munching huge piece Of
watermelon stuck on the end OF his bay
onet.
did Perkins pass you just now?"
Eyes, sir"
"Did he give the countersign" inquir
ed the lieutenant, taking a bite himsel
as the man presented arms.
"Well, no, sir" said the sentinel, con
fidentially; "the password was Cholera,
but he said Watermelon, SO l passed
him and put the other halfin your tent
Did. eh?" unused the officer. Hum

Frozen Facts" is purely American
expression, and one, too, of recent origin.
1t has the merit Of attracting attention,
and also seems to bear conviction of
truthfulness on its face. We make room
in our issue OF to-day, for fact of this
character. A correspondent, Henry
Whiting, Esq, of Boston, Mass, says:
"Dr. r " Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery' has cured my son of a fever-sore
of two years standing. Please accept
our gratitude" We believe it to be a
fact, whether "irozen" or otherwise, that
America needs more men like Mr.. Whit
ing; men who act, men who investigate
truths, and seize opportunities.

A hospital physician in Normandy be-
lieves that stone in the bladder is a rare
affection there, ana attributes this fact
to the extremely free use of cider.
Moncure D. Conway, the London cor
respondent for American papers, says:
Last year, the lower classes alone, in
England, consumed over S40O, OOO, 900 in
drink, while their families were without
proper food and clothing"
For troublesome cold in the head the
following suggestion may be good: Put
a teaspoonful of powdered camphor in
pitcher of boiling water and inhale
from the pitcher. Practice this for ten
minutes at time, and once an hour if
convenient.
liable Moigno, who recently died in
his eighty-frst year, Afforded one more
example of a fact that we have frequent
ly noted, that steady brain work is at
least compatible with and probably con-
ducive to long life. He was a man of
vast learning and voluminous writer,
having published more than a hundred
volumes on scientific subjects, and edited
magazines.
The difference between the effect of
brain work and worry on the mind can
be fairly compared to the difference be-
tween the case with which the stomach
disposes of digestible food and the dis
comfort which arises when indigestible
are put into it. Worry is kind
