Can 1t be True -?

A Washington society LADY who has
just returned from Europe tells a new
story on Sarah Bernhardt. The Washing
ton lady was a great admirer of the
actress and while in Paris last spring took
occasion to call on her. The Bernhardt
sometimes amuses herself painting and
modelling. She received the Washing
tor lady very kindly and invited her
earneatlJ to call again. After lapse of
few weeks another visit was made TO the
actress. She was found very much ab-
sorbed in the half finished figure of her
little model which she had been working
at. at the reqeest OF the Wash
ington lazy who was anxious TO see
see her at work, she continued working
After awhile s frisky little spaniel, the
pet of Sarah, rushed into the room, wag
ging his tail and painting with delight
The little dog sprang upon the lap of
the actress, but she was so much interest
ed in her work that the spaniel did not
receive the expected caressing. After
the dog had interrupted her work by re-
peating this evidence OF affec ion sever
al times she became very much irrit6ted
and expressed herself with energy in
highly seasoned language. Bat the little
spaniel not understanding, kept on his
gamboIs until Bernhardt, evidently
exasperated, arose with a shrek and
With demoniacal expression on her face
lifted the poor little animal by the
loose skin at the back of the neck and
raising the top from a Chonbesohi
stove which stood in the room thrust the
yelpipg little animal in on the hot GOALS;
then shutting the cover down she calmly
resumed her work as if utterly uncon-
scious of the heart rending cries of her
pet, which grew fainter and fainter as be
slowly roasted TO death. The Washing
ton lady who witnessed this says:

and after the colonel deciding that
the enemy's guns must at any cost
be silenced, ordered small detachment
of dragons commanded by De Lsegesis
TO charge and cut them off from the main
body. L he Germans, taken by surprise
and imagining they were to be attacked
by the entire reg iment, ceased firing and
hastily retreated, leaving one of their

Animals as Seed-PIanters.

Many noble oak-trees are planted by
the litt.o squirrel. Running up the
branches, this little animal strips off
the acorn5, and buries them in the
ground for food in the cold weather;
and when he goes to hunt them up he
does not find all of them Those he
leaves behind often to grow up into
great and beautiful trees.
The nuthatch, too, among the birds,
is great planter. After twisting off a
cluster of bcech-nuts this queer little
bird carries them to some favorite tree,
and pegs them into the crevices of the
bark in curious way. How, we can
not tell. After while they fall to tho
ground, and there grow into large
trees.
Some larger animals are good seed
planters, and have sometimes covered
barren countries with trees. 1t is
very singular that animals and birds
can do so much framework. isn't it?-

NOT A HEALTHFUL DRINK.
Life Insurance Company's Wow as t.
the Use of Lager-Beer.

A Life Insurance COmpany's Wow as to
the Use of Lager-Beer.
Rev. Father Cleary, of Wisconsin,
president of the Catholic Total Abb
stinence Union of America in an adj
dress in Philadelphia said:
Now the statement l am about to
make will be new to a great many in
this large audience. l am from the
State of Wisconsin. I live in the SUI
burbs of the great city of Milwaukee.
where the best lager-beer is brewed
that is brewed in America. They tell
us that this lager-beer is especially
good for mans health, that it con-
duces tolongevity. and is a health-giv-
ing and inspiriting liquid. Now, the
Northwestern Life Insurance Company
of Milwaukee, that was established
in the city of Milwaukee about thirty
years ago, all of whose directors are,
| think, wealthy men in the city Of
Milwaukee, and in the State of Wis
consin, having lived neighbors to this
large beer business, they have watched
its growth and its influence on the
consumers; and what conclusion has the
Northwestern Life Insurance Company
come to? Knowing all about the health
fulness of lager-beer, it has come to
the conclusion that, for the protection
of its own business, it can no longer
grant life insurance policy to lager
beer brewer, to his clerk, to his book
keeper, or to any man employed IN a
lager-beer brewery. Why? Because
they say: Our statistics show that our
business has been injured by the short
ened lives of men who drink lager
beer In my opinion there is no
stronger argument than this against
INDUCING in ss3r-beer or any alco-
holic stimulant. If the life insurance
companies, familiar with this subject,
have come to this conclusion, what
must not sensible men conclude who
have regard for strength and length of
days?"

The Danger of Using the Fcrmented Arti-
cle-AnOther Warming.
A clerical correspondent Of The New
Christianity writes to that journal a
warning against the use of intoXicat-
ing wine tor communion purposes, and
cites an illustration from his own pas
toral experience. He was called to
officiate at the funeral of child
whose parents were non-professOrs,
but who subsequently became men,
bers of his church. The father, for
merly drinking man, had become an
abstainer. The majority of the men,
bers of the church favored intoxi-
eating wine for the communion serv-
ice The new member, after two years
of faithful abstinence. expressed de-
sire to take the Lords Supper. His
pastor writes:
II did not dissuade him; for as he had alb
stained so long and faithfully, felt sure he
would continue. He presented himself with
the communicates. Upon receiving the cuphe
took sip, and moved to return the cup TO me {;
but suddenly, the old appetite being touched
by the alcoholic spark he returned the cup to
his lips-it was about two-thirds full-and near
ly drained it. as though urged on by demons.
Poor man! Realizing what he had done, and
evidently feeling dsgraced he at once arose
and left the temple. From that time he re-
turned to drink, and have been unable to re-
gain sufficient influence over him to effect his
return to our services"
He adds: Another man in my So
ciety formerly drank to excess. I
dare not encourage him to come to the
communion" How can members of
Christian churches continue 20 insist
upon the use of intoxicating wine for
communion purposes after their at
tention has been called by such illus
trations to its obvious perils for such
of their members as may have been
previously addicted to the use of in
toxicants?-National Temperance Adj

Some of our streets resemble newly
plowed ground, and we very much
doubt If there are many country roads
in this county that arc in rs bRd CON
dition. Every street in this city
should be paved, and tina, at as early
a day as possible, but If we are to
judge by the way the work has been
done in the past, It looks as though the
end Of time would come before this is
accomplished. If the streets on which
there is not so much travel were paved
with vulcaniie blocks, the same as the
square on Market street between Fifth
and Sixth streets, we would have road
ways Of which we would have Just
cause to be proud. This could easily
be done if the property owners would
move in the matter and bear part OF
the expense, and we believe that the
majority of the owners of vehicles
and teams would also bear their share,
by paying tax which would be more
than saved IN the lessened cost of keep
ing their hoTses shod, and their carts,
wagons and carriages in repair. 1t is
to be hoped that the Street and Sewer
Commission will take some decided
action in this matter US soon as spring
opens.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ., 1859.

-
The Democratic State Convention
adopted the following as part OF its
platform:
1--WE approve the administration of the
Governor and other State officers, and In
Stats affairs we advocate the continuance
OF the simple, honest and economical
administration of afIalrs which has al
ways characterized the rule OF the Demo
cratic party, and as true Democrats we
recognize AID obey the popular VII as
evidenced by the specisl election held
last November, ami declare ourselves in
favor OF accomplishing the reforms now
conceded by all parties In the State, 20 be
demand d by popular sentiment, through
this medium of constitutional conven-
tion to be provided for at as early date
a. 10 the Judgment Of tho Legislature,
acting for itself as a coordinate branch
OF the State government, nay be proper
ly and coustitutionaily Done"
1t would be supposed that afler a
declaration Of this nature those Demo-
Gratis who have been elected to the
Legislature would join with the Re-
publicaus in endesvoring to have a
constitutional convention, called at as
early a day as possible, but instead of
that they are doing everything In their
power to oppose 1t, and now claim that
IL will be necessary to hold another
election before convention can be
held. The actions OF the Democratic
members OF the present Legislature
speak louder than words, and show
beyond doubt that the party is as a
whole opposed to constitutional re-
form, and that all the promises which
they have made 10 the people have
been tor the purpose OF deceiying
them 10 secure votes.
On the other hand, the Republicans
adopted the following in their plat
form:
''Resolved, That we believe the Will Of
the people is supreme in making OF
amending the fundamental law Of the
State and that no convention should he
called for that purpose but by the au-
thorlty of the people, and 1t is the sense
OF this body that the large majority Of
Votes cast for convention at the spec ial
election held the FIRST Tuesday of Novem-
Der, 1887, is the proper evidence of the
will of the people in this matter and
should be accepted by the General As
sembly as full authority for passing al
act at its next session, calling conven-
tion and providing for the ELECTION Of
delegates thereto at US early period a;
practical"
The Republicans in the House ART
doing everything in their power &c
AS6eeEE' liis pledge to the people, but are
opposed in every way by the Demo
Gratis, who seem determined that
convention shall not be held. Their
is very little reason to believe that tn
present Legislature will have a con
vention called, as it is impossible 70
the Republicans to do it without tn
cooperation of the Democrats, and /
will remain for the people to say at tn
next election which party is right.

The double life led py Otto Kayser,
in Philadelphia, no doubt has It's coun-
terpart in every city, although 1t is not
always attended with as disastrous re-
suits. In his case, when he found 1t
no longer possible to avoid exposure,
he murdered his victim, then tried to
kill his wife, and ended by taking his
own life. 1t is terrible story, and
one that should cause others 10 stop
and consider, but fortunately the end
in all is not as disastrous as it was in
this instance. The moral, however,
is the same, and is one that 1t will be
well for all to heed
