The Increase of Profanity.

1t seems as if this increase were cor
respondent with the general spread of
intelligence, the distribution of wealth,
the increase in the number of grad
yates of the public schools, the gener-
al expansion and activity of the people.
IL is certainly in many individual
cases the inevitable concomitant of the
imperious instinct of expression and
selt-assertion. This instinct is becom-
ing more and more developed in an
entire class of our people, who are be-
ginning to feel the effec Is of civiliza-
ton, of increased population, and of
social propinquity. Whereas once
they were few in number, under the
necessity of hard work and wholly
unoccupied with the thought of amuse-
ment, they are now numerous, we'll
TODD, more or less gay, and they
accordingly feel in its fullest measure
the workings of the great instincts of
expansion. Accordingly they have
"begun to curse and to swear" like
Peter when he felt himself an imper-
Ious desire to say great deal and
really had nothing to say. With q
great many, perhaps with most swear
ers profanity simply means the arti-
culate expression of thought or emo
ton. For people whose powers of
expression are slight, who have only
recently come to feel the need Of any,
profanity has the attraction of seeming
to be very expressive. We shall
never as nation, swear any less I'M
til our society in general insists more
on adequacy and accuracy of express
sion and definitely makes up its mind
what is mere interiectional exuber-
ance and what is grossly indecent

Poisoned by Flies.

A bald-headed man in Louisville
was last Sunday much annoyed by
large numbers of the common house
fly, that settled on his head and pre-
vented his taking any rest or comfort
in life. The number increased tc a
swarm, and he was compelled to seek
the shelter of his room. As he left the
porch where he had been seated several
of the insects settled on his forehead,
and before they could be knocked off
had bitten him in several places. In
a few hours the places began to swell
and become inflamed until one of his
eyes was closed. He suffered much
pain from the bites, and continued to
grow worse until ii was feared that his
blood had become poisoned from some
matter possibly contributed to his sys-
tenn through the medium of the pro-
boscis of the insects. What should in
duce them to so persistently follow
him is unknown. Some apprehensions
are felt as to the ultimate recovery of
the gentleman, who is about 20 years
old

Six Millions Gone in Smoke.

Of late years the impression has
been gaining ground that the old-time
celebration of the Fourth of July was
falling into desuetude. and that in the

day would be gwen up. A visit to the
various manufacturers tends to dispel
the delusion that irework on the
Fourth are going out of date.

that, although the north, from Maine
to California, laws in full stock to
blow up ON the Fourth, not dollar is
spent by the people south of the Po-
tomac and Ohio rivers. They use
them only on Christmas day. The
demand for all kinds of goods fell off
rapidly, for two or three years after
the Centennial but for the past five
years il has steadily increased, and

Saturday. From all the data obtain

1.-The fireworks manufactures do
their best to discourage the consump-

pie appear to have renewed the loyalty
to these time-honored explosives, and
our opposition seems to have made
but little Roadway. The fireworks
now mostly in demand are OF kind

them is not by any means confined to

Roman candles, and the various col
ored fires have struck popular fancy.
There have been sold this year, l
think, fully 100000 worth of these
for consumption on the Fourth alone,
so that Saturday witnessed the disap-
pcarance of fully S6.000,0 600 IN smoke
as an evidence of the patriotic feelings
of the country north of the Ohio river.
This does not include the new
tangled japanese fireworks, which are
now extensively used for daylight ex-
hIbltions. Every visitor of a country
fair now thinks the show lacking if the
committee does not set off between
each heat of the races lot of these
japanese constructions. Their use,
however, is almost entirely confined to
such occasions. But few are sold for
the Fourth, as the celebrating patriot

wants just as much noise as possible

An Angel Rat-Cateher.

There is at present in the county
hospital professional rat-catcher,
named Angel He is half-witted,
low-browed fellow, and his looks indi-
cate that he is anything but what his
name would imply. As a rat-catcher,
he is a success, and late yesterday az
ternoon he gave an exhibition of his
powers that was simply wonderful.
Several of the best rat terriers in the
city were procured, and against these
Angel was pitted. The first exhibit
ton of his beastly work was at the
hospital, where twenty-five rodents
were dispatched. Angel killing ma

Gerber Brothers slaughter-house,
where the "game" was found to be
more plentiful. The rodents had con-
oreoated by the score under bales OF
hay. and the exciting contest was kept
up for over an hour. The dogs and
man would gather about a bale, some
one would give the hay sudden tip,
and the rat-catchers would rush in.
Angel, with the rapidity of lightning,
would grasp rat with his left hand,
and with his right gave the rodents
head a quick twist that would break
its neck instantly. AT other times he
would grasp a rat in each hand, dash
them together, and both would tall to
