How Ahsinthe is Taken.

The French absinthe drinker takes a
goblet full of cold Water-not neces-
sarily iced, though preferably so-and
adds to it drop by drop, just enough of
the liquor to give it a very light green
tinge. Wherever the light strikes the
mixture the most lovely opaline hues
are seen, and there is no sight so lovely
to the eye OF the confirmed absinthe
drinker. A sip of the fluid leaves in
the mouth the most delightful after
taste, much like anlsette, only wanting
in the fiat taste. which would come
from diluting that liqueur. There is,
too, an added flavor, unlike anything
else in the world. So prepared, absin-
the makes a refreshing and exhilarat-
ing drink, most grateful to the palate,
but woe be unto him who yields too
continuously to what seems harmless
indulgence. Enjoyed too often the
peculiar taste of absinthe becomes a
necessity, and long continued Indulg-
ence in the minute doses has constitu-
tlonal effect on the nervous system, if
possible, more horrible and certainly
more incurable than that of whisky.
Paralysis and palsy are among the re-
suits of the habit, and it often induces
insanity,

Off For Florida.

About one year ago ex-President
Cleveland and wife visited the Sub
Tropical of this State. They were
received in Jacksonville In pump and
splendcr, escorted through the public
streets of that city by the finest civic
and military parade ever witnessed in
the State. Mr.. Cleveland was the chief
executive OF the nation. This year
the Hon. Fred Douglass sometimes
called the sold man Eloquent" will
visit the Sub-Tropical and will evil
IDENTIFY be received in a similar styIes
The only contrast noticeable in these
two receptions is that Mr.. Douglass is
a Negro representative OF eight mil
lions of people and doubtless will be in
every age to come. Cleveland repre-
sented fifty millions of people four
years. his was OF short duration:
Douglass forever. To those of our people
of the State who have never seen nor
heard Mr.. Douglass speak, the 4th
Of April will he the best opportunity
thev will have, perhaps ever. The F.
r. s. N. II. r. and the Florida South
ern will run cheap excursions to Jack
sonville during his stay in that city,

them. A large number of institutions.

trust fund of $500, 900 left fer their

EARTHQUAKE shocks in recent years
appear to have all regions for their own,
and the little quiver that was felt
throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware,
while in no way disastrous, was not a
welcome visitor. The earthquakes of
1884 and 1856 were of about the same
force. but, slight as they were,
they were sufficient TO show what the
old Earth can do when she attempts
to settle herself in some new position.

The LEADER was in great demand
here last week. We are sorry we

During the recent session in this city
of the Baltimore Conference Of the M.
E. Church, South. In discussion Of a
recommendation TO raise $500 in aid of
Sane University, Tennessee, for colOred
youths, Mr.. Wheeler, Of Roanoke,
Va, st4ted that he was opposed to
asking his congregation to give their
money to support "a lot of lazy mig
gers,n and that "if you want to find an
honest and industrious negro, you
must look for him among the ex-
slaves" While that body of Christian
men effectualIy answered him, we are
constrained to add that the remarks of
this man were exceedingly un Chris
tian, and that the partiality for the
ex slaves may probably be explained by
The fact that some of these slaves gave
their labor to support hlm and give him

BATHING.
Why we Should Bathe.

Among all the appliances for health
and comfort to mankind, we may safe
ly say there is nothing so well-known,
so useful, and withal SO comforting
and yet SO little practiced, SO carelessly
and thoug ghtlessly neglected as judicious
bathing. The skin of the human body.
from head to foot, is net work of
pores, which ought always to be kept
free and clear of distractions. These
pores are the openings into minute
tubes or channels. which lead through
unseen meanderings into the sanctum
of life within.
To these blessed with good health, a
bath. as common-sense appliance,
gives thrift and growth to healthy
functions, a brightness and delightful
serenity. clearness of mind and buoy
ancy of spirit. Il is certainly bless
ing to both mind and body. For the
mental woIk ker, it is a nerve tonic. A
thorough immersion in water of proper
temperature will claim and give
strength and tone to his whole system.
The indoor laborer who gets but
scanty supply of fresh air, needs bath
to obtain those invigorating elements
so common in the open air.
! The outdoor laborer-especially the
| farmer-who works with heroic energy
all day long, unavoiJably gathers on
the entire surface of his body a COM
plete prison-wall Of dust and thicken-
ing, gummy Eersplration; and when his
days work is done, he needs then, more
than any other thing, not only wash,
but a good. luscious, full bath to fit
him for clean bed and a refreshing
sleep.
The glutinOus mass of perspiration,
surface of the body naturally covers
and clogs the pores and often enters
them and polsons tire system. To re-
move that filth, frequent ablutions and
occasional immersion in water are ex-
ceedingly desirable. and usually indis-
pensable TO health and comfort; conse-
quently, every family should have
convenient bath-and full bath too
Of some kind. not only for general neat
ness of person. so desirable to every in
| dlvidual of taste and culture, but as a
means of preserving health, and in
many cases, especially under the adj
vice of good physician, as the safest,
! pleasantest and one of the most power
full and efficient means of combating
disease. Directed by good Judgment
and wise counsel, bath is valuable
auxiliary to other remedies. and it can
be used when internal remedies cannot.
In the long catalogue of diseases to
which flesh is heir, scarcely one can be
named in the treatment of which a
bath Is useless. In an emergency.
which often happens when least ex-
pected, as in cholera, cholera infantum.
cholera morbus, cramp, fits, &C., a pill
able, portable bath, which requires but
little wat T, ready just at the right
time, may save some precious life.
Finally, everyone needs a bath at
times, and every human habItation
should contain something for COM
plete immersion in water, and since
convenient and efficient portable baths
at comparatively low figures are now
extensively advertised for sale, there is
little excuse for anyone to be without
this priceless benefit
