THINGS OF THE PAST.

MRS. MARGARET DICK, of Vincennes, Ind. !, nas four chairs that once graced the parlor of William Henry Harrison. They are of wood with plain straight backs and show not the slightest trace of carving or other decoration. ...
 II LOVE mankind. I think no man should be harmed for his opinions. l love the truth. I will seek it diligently, and when found make it known to others.' This was the oath of the Leather Apron Club, founded by Benjamin Franklin when he arrived at the age of twenty one.
 AT weddings among Germans in the southern colonies one hundred and fifty years ago, the groomsmen attended in beau tifully embroidered white aprons. Their duty was to protect the bride from having her slipper stolen from her foot. If any one succeeded in capturing it, the grooms- man paid a bottle of wine for the loss, as the brides dancing depended upon it.
 WRITING of old times at Poughkeepsie, a correspondent says: "Adam Henderson was in the watch and jewelry business, and one of his assistants was the historian, Benson J. Losing. James Hooker was sur rogate, and it was one of his grandchildren who recently married the Duke of Marl borough. Hon. Enoch l.. Fancher was a student in MT. Rockers office
 PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON attended the inauguration ball May z, 17S9, and danced in the cotillion with Mrs Peter Van Brugh Livingston and Mrs. Maxwell and in the minuet with Mrs. Van Zandt. The Father of his Country also danced at ball given by the French Minister, at another given at the annual commencement of Columbia Col lege, and for several weeks he was engaged in acknowledging congratulations and at- tending parties given in his honor.
 THERE is seid to be an unrepealed law of New Jersey, passed while that State was a British colony. which provides ''that all women of whatever age, rank, profession or degree, whether virgins, maids or wid- ows, who shall after this act impose upon, seduce or betray into matrimony any of his Majesty's subjects by virtue of scents, cos metics, washes, paints, artificial teeth, false hair or high-heeled shoes, shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against witchcraft and misdemeanors."

If Pearson is in efficient Van Cott should lose no time in taking hold. It looks a good deal like politics rather than business that is the guiding rule of MT Van Cott's life.

PADS OF THE FAMOUS,

MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER has a hobby. She bathes in violet water at five dollars per quart.
 WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR, ex-United States Minister to Italy, is a man whose greatest ambition is to be novelist.
 ELLA WHEELER WILCOX is said to have a weakness for cats, as Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett has for children, and for driving in hanson cabs. ....
 MRS. CORNELIUS VANDERBILT loves flow CTS above almost every thing. Her draw ing-rooms are always we'll filled with them, most exquisitely arranged. -... -.s--..
 FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT is more inter- ested i'll collecting rare books and manu- scripts and in assisting in the work of the Young Mems Christian Association than in any thing else.
 PIERRE LoRILLARD is not so much taken up with his big business as with open-air sports and a love of antiquities of all kinds from anywhere. He has paid out good deal for the latter.
 "SAM' CARPENTER, the well-know rail road man, does not care for theaters and social affairs, but he has weakness for studying up and inflicting upon his friends the queerest and most unexpected jokes.
 MRS. FRANK LESLIE is particularly fond of rare and costly jewels, and has fine col lection of them. Mrs Pierre Lorillard has somewhat similar tastes, and seems to af- feet green as color, having some rare em- eralds. @~t1
 TEE millionaire George Law, who is so often written of, has queer hobby. It is to associate with sports and prize-fghters, to wine them and dine them, and make them costly presents, asking nothing in re- turn but that they shall concur III his opinion that he is greater pugilist than Sullivan himself. lt

MURDERER swIFT,s CASE.

The press of the state, with scarcely an exception, comments the house for its action in sustaining Governor Bulke- ley in his veto of the Swift communication bill. The ground taken all along by the DEMOCRAT, that there was 10 evidence to show why the superior and supreme courts that passed on the facts and law of the case were in error, is that gener- ally taken by our contemporaries. And the hope is expressed, too, that no fur ther legal technicalities will intervene to prevent the vindication of law and justice.

lieyed that Burke had made statements

fessed. The defense seem to regard him

him into a trial of his own. Capt.

ing for Burke's meals. O'To0le is not
the man and he declined to say who he
is. No tidings were received of the tin
box or the expressman, though both

The Outlook In Brazil

The condition Of affairs in Brazil is not
such as TO encourage the friends of the
republic. The latest dispatches from that
country show that feeling of dissatisfac-
ton is beginning to show itself. There is a
lack Of confidence in Fonseca, the head of
the provisional government. 1t is generally
admitted that he is a weak man and totally
incapable of directing public affairs. par
ticularly in the event of serious trouble.
The provisional government doesn't seem
to feel that the republic rests upon a sure
foundation. No dispatches except those in
cipher are permitted to be sent out of the
country which have not first been sub
mitted to the authorities. 1t is about
impossible, therefore. for the outside world
to get a true statement Of the condition of
affairs. 1t is known, however, that a feel
ing of unrest has begun 10 show
itself. The people are recovering
! from the surprise which the sudden
overthrow of the monarchy caused, and
they are beginning to question whether tn g
revolution is likely to result benefcially to
the country. If strong man were at the
head of affairs any feeling OF discomfort
that might show itself might, perhaps, be
easily quieted, but if the provisional gov
eminent does not act with determination as
well as caution, it may have a revolt on it's
hands greater than it can successfully con-
tend with.
The first news Of the revolution that was
sent out indicated that the army was solidly
in favor of the republic. This does not
seem to have been the case. 1t is now
alleged that a very considerable part of the
army was not aware of the purpose of the
leaders, and supposed that nothing more
than change of ministry was contem-
plated. The army. therefore, is likely to
be source Of trouble to the provisional
government
1t is stated that the people are very I'm
easy with respect to the election that. it is
understood is to be held for President and
other officers. 1t was expected that this
election would be held without DELAY. No
day has been fixed for it, how
ever, and there is some speculation
as to whether it will be fixed at all. Two
dates are being talked of in vague sort of
way. One is in April and the other in
May. That no nearer day is mentioned
occasions much unfavorable comment.
There is another thing that is attracting
notice. 1t is that the two candidates most
prominently mentioned for the presidency
are out and out monarchists. All things
considered, it is not to be wondered at that
foreign governments hesitate to recognize
the republic

Here is something that will interest DR..
Pasteur in particular, and many other peo-
pie in general Some days ago several
children of Mr.. Joseph Tregle, of Cumru.
Pa, were bitten by mad dog Instead of
hunting up a maidstone, or sending the
children to Paris to be treated by DIR. Pas
teur, Mr.. Tregle called in DR.. Samuel
Schlaback, who has had some success in
such cases. DIR. Schlaback's mode of treat
ment is very peculiar. He wrote out
directions. and said that they must be fol-
lowed implicitly, as follows: l. Wash the
children, take off their clothes and put on
clean ones. 2. Strip their beds of all sheets,
blankets. ETC., and put on fresh bedding
that the children never slept on before.
B. For the first days they must drink
nothing, and eat nothing except dry bread
4. They must drink no water for nine days
5. They must not eat pork for three months.
6. When overcome by thirst give them
warm coffee. z. After three days they can
eat a little beef and potatoes s. Keep
them out of school, indoors, and don't allow
their blood to get overheated. 8. The
lacerated wounds must be rubbed open with
piece of pine wood three times day until
they bleed, and the medicine rubbed in the
wounds with rag. The medicine of herbs
and roots is also to be taken internally.
These directions are being rigidly followed,
and the effect upon the children will be
watched with great interest
