 Rabelais, being one day at Lyons, and without money to pay his hotel bill, feigned to be mixed up in plot to poison the king. Of course he was promptly seized upon by the police, who were very proud of their capture, and he was conveyed to Paris with all care. This was just what he wanted. He set forth his little scheme to the king, who greatly enjoyed the joke and invited Rabelais to dine at his table. Rabelais has had an imitator in the person of canny Scot.

PEACEFUL EMANCIPATION.

One of the most interesting problems of the time is that which is being worked out in Brazil-the peaceful emancipation of the
 slaves. In September, 1871, the great work was begun in a law which provided that from
 that date every child born of slave parents should be free, and also declared all slaves
 belonging to the State or to the imperial
 household free from that time. The same
 law provided an emancipation fund to be an-
 nually applied to the ransom of a certain
 number of slaves owned by private individu- als.
 This law has been effective, but not as eff feetive as it was expected to be. Every child
 born since its passage is free, but the provi-
 sion which requires the owner of the slave
 mother to educate it and support it until
 twenty-one years of age is not observed. The
 law also provided that slaves should be cred
 tied with their labor, and that all the service performed by them, over and above a certain maximum, should be accounted to them to- ward the purchase of their freedom. This
 has also failed of the object in view, owing to the dishonesty of the owners, and only in few instances have negroes secured their freedom in this way. Old men and women have, by the operation of the law, had their freedom upon reaching the age of sixty-fve,
 but they have then generally been turned off the plantations and compelled te beg or find refuge in the almshouses.
 But notwithstanding all this the enamel patton idea has firm hold, and steps will soon be taken to remedy the defects of the old law. The new legislation proposed pro- vides for the immediate emancipation of all slaves over the age of sixty years, which will release about 100, ,000 old men and women from bondage. Their owners, however, are compelled to make suitable provision for such as are infrm or crippled, and to permit all who desire to occupy their former homes and perform such labor as may be consid- cred compensation for the rental. A regis tration of all slaves under the age of sixty years is to be made with an exact valuation of each. An emancipation fund is to be es- tablished, to consist of five per cent. of the revenue of the government, for the purchase of such slaves as their masters are willing to sell at the valuation. In order to reimburse the government for the money expended in
 their purchase, the freedmen are obliged to
 work for the government at the regular wages
 of free laborers until they have earned an
 amount equal to the cost of their freedom.
 At the end of five years new valuation is
 to be made, and the estimate will then, of
 course, be very much lower than at present
 At the end of thirteen years all persons in
 bondage become free.
 Of course the emancipation of the slaves
 in Brazil in this way cannot be accomplished
 without great deal of loss and trouble. But
 it will not cost so much or be so troublesome
 as & civil war would

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind :! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow | CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast cd by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- 6royed s=~--ssz'l-z---@-- AS ''all men are born free and equal," as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically,~ but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriOrated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in immor- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of nature's laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pulp lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in Overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NER E PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression caused by oyerwOrk, etc.
 These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, & recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a largr sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NUT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record Of success, and the strongest proof OfItheir excellence. As positive evidence we have thousands of Testimonials which we will De nleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon appllea- tiOn.

The horrible old Hellenic myths, such as Tantalus cooking his son Pelops as a meal for gods, and Atreus dishing up his brother Thyestes' children and asking him to dine off them, are survivals of time when the man cooking oven was as much an institution in Greece IS it was the other day in New Zealand CT in Fiji.

The result is that American cottons have been driving the poor English wares out of the market, and the consuls of Great Britain in all the treaty ports are now sound ing an alarm in the ears of the cotton mill owners of Manchester. Our cottons ara too dear to suit the Chinese peasant, but he has found that the English goods are dear at any price.
