THE SWEARING HABIT.
How Lords and Ladies' of Quality Used
to Indulge in Profanity.
Flron tAe NortA Ameriean Repiel0.

From the North american ReUisO.
"The glorious revolution Of $685."
whatever it did for constitutional liberty,
did not do much to make profanity un-
fashionable. Lawrence Hyde, Earl OF Ro
chester, did not swear in his cups more
Justify than Sir Robert Walpole, theastute
Wing premier, in his orgies at his coun-
try seat. Pelham and bis brother, the
Duke of Newcastle, afterward the heads
of the great Whig connection, were not
famous for profanity, neither was Chat
ham; but the play Of the period, and the
novels of Fielding and Smollet, prove that
profanity was quite an ordinary exercise
of the English lungs. To "swear like a
lord'' became with the rustic, as with the
city populace, as much an object of ad-
mirIng wonder as ''tO get as drunk as a
lord" Even women of rank did not hesi-
tate to imitate--of course at a respectful
distance, beftting their inferior sex-the
more masculine profanity of the ackp0wl-
edged lords of creation. IL Is difficult 10
say how long they ayailed themselves Of
their precious privilege. Sarah, Duchess
of Marlborough. who did not die--much 10
the regret Of her relatiyes--until l744,

Judge on business. Learning from the
fOotman that he was not at home, the old

fits OF irritation, without cOndescending

when questioned by the Judge on bis re-
turn TO the house as 20 the name Of his
visitor, could only answer that she bad
not mentioned her name, but that "she
swore like lady OF quality"
There is, unhappily, a class OF men
who, in different degree Of depravity, seem
possessed by the devil. They experience
a strange delight In eXalting their own
wills above all mortal law. They are
sufficient TO themselves. They despise
what they call the poor weaklings OF su-
perstition, who are ruled by such ablect
sentiments as wonder, reverence ana awe.
They disbelieve In them because they have
never felt them. They are under the de-
lusion OF moral and mental color-blind-
ness. and have no vision Of spiritual facts
that are plain t0 humber mOrtals. IL Is
difficult to assert that they have souls,
either 20 be saved or 20 be exposed TO the
other alternative; but II beneath the
thick scum Of evil experience that mas
settled on their minds and characters
there remains faint. uneXtinguiehe1

kind that "rot half grain day. and

the appointed term Of their earthly lives.

''it was twelve years ago when contracted a
terrible case of blood poisoning. My aflic-
tion was truly horrible. / had no appetite,
did not sleep well at night, my digestion was
impaired, my throat was cautei lied five
times, and in fact l was a total wreck. l had
been under the treatment of several of the
leading physicians of Atlanta; tried nearly
every blood remedy advertised; went to Hot
Springs, where l remained several months,
receiving no benefit whatever-the dread dis
ease still clung to me.'
"And you remained IN this condition twelve
yearsY' interrupted the Clipper man.
"Yes, sir, aud more than that. Three years
ago / was laid up with rheumatism. My knees
were drawn up in such a position that could
not leave my bed for months. My life became
a lingering torture. A truly wonderful blood
remedy was recommended. known as i. B II.

Sale of CuriOs.
Fr0M "a Neae York Tlmes

From the Neq0 York Times.
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.--The sale OF
the Hutfnagle collection OF curios was
continued at Henkel & Co.'s auction house
this afternoon. The goods offered were
varied in character and the bidding was
not so spirited as on the day before. A
Chinese bedstead, circular in design, said
to have been used by a wealthy Chinese
family OF Oukick, was knocked down for
$40. A miscellaneous collection of Chi
nese ana Indian idols was then offered.
The gods did not appear to be in great de-
mand, and many OF them were sold at
less than half value, according to
the auctioneer's estimate. A white stone
idol about fifteen inches high brought
$40 aud another twice it's size was sold
for SIG. A third, with broken knee.
was knocked down for $l4. A gilt teak
wood scored idol, 6 feet inches in height,
taken from the great temple at Rangoon,
India, was sold for $27 so. The highest
prices realized for idols were for a pair of
gilded japanese gods, which the auc-
tiOneer declared to be the finest couple he
had ever seen. Each was nearly feet
high and finely carved. One represented
the God of Mercy, and the other the
Goddess OF Agriculture. The gentleman
god was sold for $3l0, while the lady only
brought S220, the purchaser Of both being
Mr.. Gibson. A Hindu idol, , feet II
Inches high, made of teakwood and
gilded, was sold for $l60. Vari-
GUS other heather relics were knocked
down, among them Chinese tin devil for
50 70, 4-inch Hindu household god for
81 90, pinch god for 81, and several
sacred Hindu temple bells atprices rang

Heading the list of Egyptian antiquities
was mummy case containing the re-
mains of the daughter of high priest of
HOras, who passed away about 1400 b.
O., or near the time of the exodus of the
Israelites from Egypt. The auctioneer
Valnly tried to obtain respectable bid
for the ancient case. He ran down as low
as $500, and then came to the conclusion
that there was no person present to whom
mummy was crying want. 1t was
therefore withdrawn. The same fate be-
fell an Illuminated manuscript copy of
the Koran, and copy of Hogarth's works,
with 107 cOpper-plate engravings by
Thomas Cock, published in London in
1901. A number. Of little stone figures

A FLOATING PALACE.

The FinesJ Steamer Afioat to be Built for
the Detroit a. Cleveland Steam Naviga-
ton Company.
Capt. James w. Brown. while in De-
troit last week, was shown the drawings
for magnificent steamer which the De-
troit Dry Dock company has contracted
to build for the Detroit and Cleveland
Steam Navigation company. The con-
tract calls for its completion SO as to be
ready for the season Of navigation in
1886. The Captain was Informed that
the new steamer would probably be
named The City Of Cleveland, as 1t is to
Iun in connection with the City of De-
troit between Detroit and Cleveland, and
that the present City of CLEVELAND will
be given a new name. We would sug-
gsst to the managers of the company the
name "City Of Cheboygan.' The follow
ing description of the new craft we take
from the Detroit Post: "The vessel will
be constructed of steel and be Of the fol-
lowing Dimensions: go feet keel, 40
feet beam and 16 feet depth of hold. The
hull will be DIVIDED into compartments
so that in case Of accident she cannot
sink. Her boilers will be four in num-
Der and built Of q inch steel and their
weight 100 tons. The wheels will be Of
the feathering type and % feet in diam
eter, driven by beam engine, cylinder
60 inches in diameter and IL feet stroke.
This vessel will have double row Of
staterOOms, one above the other, some
what after the style of the Fall River
| line of steamers, and finished in mahOg-
any. The entire vessel will DO lighted
by electricity, and her steering apparat-
us will be operated by steam. In fact
the vessel will contain all the modern
! improvements known in the way of out
fit and appliances. The entire cost of
this steamer will be $275,O00. The plans
and specifications will be made by Mr..
Frank E. Kirby. The Detroit Dry Dock
company have taken the contract to con-
struet and deliver the vessel ready for
business, they having arranged with the
dry dock engine works to build the boil
ers and with the Messrs w. & A. Fletch-
er Co., of New York. to place the engine
in the vessel. This will be the largest
and finest steamer on the western waters.
1t is expected that she will run from De-
troit to Cleveland in five and half
hours"

Intemperance-Death.

Last Sunday morning the body OF
woman was found on the sidewalk near
the rear of Cheboygan Lumber Co.'s gro
Gerry store on Nelson street. 1t proved
to be that of Mrs. Wallinger who lived
in Pattersonville. The body was taken
to ]. II. Tuttle's place and Monday and
Tuesday an inquest was held, the YER
dict being death from strangalation,
caused by intemperance. The evidence
showed that she had been drinhingmore
or less during the evening that between
nine and ten o'clock her husband came
down town and got flask of whisky and
took it home. She complained of it be-
ing poor whisky and said she was going
down town to get some good. This Is
the last that could be traced of her alive.
She must have come down town and i'm
bibed heavily and was undoubtedly try
ing to find her way back home when she
fell and persisted. Parties who passed
along Nelson street after midnight say
they saw nothing of her. She was re-
puted fortune teller and parties sum-
moned to testify at the inquest stated
that they had visited her in the early
part of Saturday evening to have their
fortunes told. Where she got her liquor
when she came down town Is not known
nor could any testimony on that point
be elected. She was about fOrty-fve
years of age and leaves husband and
three grown up sons, one of the latter
being absent from home for the past
three or four years and two of them were
at work in the woods.
