low Mound City, when his wife begged
him for the third time to remember to
eat with his fork ather approaching din

dear, but l wasn't brought up to it,
Folks ought to do what they are brought

knife at his lips.

"Really, papa, l think you are too
hard on poor Frankie" said Mrs. Dewey,
as the little fellow left the table. The
faces of the elder boys and the grown up
daughters showed that they agreed with
their mother.
"He ate with his knife" growled the
old man.

Mrs. Dewey, severely.
"Don't know it~ returned the judge.
Don't l know it! l eat with my knife

Saccharine is regarded by a French
writer as a valuable antiseptic. A
strength of to 500 as an addition to
mucilaginous and other solutions pre-
vents the formation of low organisms.
Thus valuable, inexpensive dentifrice
may be prepared by simply dissolving
saccharine in water to the proportion Of
6 per cent. A teaspoonful of this in a
half pint Of water forms an admirable
antiseptic mouth wash. In cases of ma

The sheen hath passed e the rainbow,
The dew from the lily is slipped,
The glory is fed from the dawn light,
The pearls from youths chaplet hath slip
ped;
But, oh, little heart tiny baby
With red lips so warm at my breast
You and make a world to ourselves, love;
To ourselves, and apart from the rest.
My feet have trod many q pathway
With briar and blossom astrewn;
Life's fragrance and bloom brushed my gar
mentS,
But vanished and faded too soon.
Yet oh, little bud human hower!-
Nestled tendery now on my arm
Life fingers with still one fond blessing,
Love leaves me stlll one precious charm
Looking back on strange trouble and sorrow
Lost hopes, wounded pride and long pain,
deny that life brings cOmpensations--
And for all that we suffer find gain;
Yet, oh, In the Joy Of thy SMILE sweet
So innocent cherubc, bright,
There is balm for the hurts OF a lifetime,
NepenUba for worlds chill and blight
Whom len on may coldly turn from me;
Whom l love may love others instead
Whom trust with kiss may betray me
And leave me alone in dark dread
But thou with thy blue eyes on mine, love;
with thy musical, dear, cooing call
To thee am still the most welcome
To thee I am still all in all!

4 Peculiar Privilege.

1t appears that only two persons enjoy
the privilege of driving to the Vatican
with a one horse vehicle. One of them
is the commissary general of the holy in
QUESTION and the other the Prussian am
bassador accredited to the Holy See. The
latter's privilege owes its origin to rather
an interesting circumstance. A Prussian
ambassador some years ago drove up one
day in single horse carriage and pre-
sented himself for admission at the gates
Of the Vatican leading into the court
yard; but, in pursuance of their orders,
he was refused admission, except on foot,
by the Swiss guard. Being forced to
yield, he complained with some bitter
ness to Cardinal Antonelli, secretary of
state to Plus TX, who said he would refer
the matter to his holiness. Plus TX, upon
hearing of the incident, Immediately gave
orders that henceforth his excellency,
the Prussian ambassador, was to be al
lowed admittance cum quocumque quad

GEN. HASTINGS MILDLY SLAUGHTERED

The Republican County Convention
held yesterday in Ebensburg, for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the Repub-
lican State Convention, adopted strong
resolutions favoring Senator Delamater,
of Crawford county, for Governor. Post
master Campbell, of Carrolltown, tried to
have General Hastings name substituted
for Quay's candidate, but the movement
met with pitiful support. The Conven.
ton was well set up for Dclamater, and
Geo. T. Swank, Esq, and County Chair
man f. Ii. Barker selected as delegates
without any opposition. Singular to Ie-
late, the delegates from the town Of Hast
ings were very bitter in their denuncia
tions of the " Hero OF Johnstown." Their
complaint being that the General had used
his influence to have the Democratic post
master at their village retained. Mr..
Chas B. Davis, of Woodvale, spoke
strongly against General Hastings con-
duct of affairs at Johnstown, after the
food, as also did delegate r. E. Smith, of
the Fifth ward.

In Love with EngIlsh EalIroads.


An American actor who is travelling
through England writes; "Let me assure
you that l am as patriotic as when l sail
ed out of New York, but really l must
take off my hat to the superb railroad
system of carrying theatrical troupes in
England. We have been on a tour two
or three months and we have always had
two elegant carriages or cars entirely to
ourselves. These are not compartments
like the ordinary English carriage,
but saloon carriages, with another for
our star and her maid. The roads make
up these special trains on Sunday for
theatrical people only. For instance, our
troupe desires to so from Birmingham
to Manchester; another troupe is booked
from Birmingham to Derby, and still
another from Derby to Liverpool. The
railroad makes up its special, takes the
two companies from Birmingham, drops
one at Derby, takes up the other there,
and carries the last to Liverpool 1t is
economical and it is comfortable. This
is going on all over the Kingdom on
Sunday, and the Midland carries an i'm
mense number of travelling players. -

4 Monkeys Heroisrn.

The following story of a monkeys
heroism is told by an Indian paper: ga
large ourang outang was very much at
tached to his master and to the baby boy,
who was the pet Of the whole family.
One day a fire suddenly broke out in the
house, and everybody was running here
and there to put it out, while the little
boy in his nursery was almost forgotten,
and when they thought of him the stair
case was all in flames. What could be
done? As they were looking up and
wondering, large, hairy hand and arm
opened the window, and presently the
monkey appeared with the baby in his
arms, and carefully climbed down over
the porch, and brought the child safely
to his nurse. Nobody else could have
done it, for man cannot climb like a
monkey, and is not nearly so strong.
You may imagine how the faithful crea-
ture was praised and petted after that.
This is true story, and the child who
was saved was the young Marquis of Kill

noCinninc of a Great Industry.

An old woman, feeding her hens with
prudent care, is said to have made the
beginnings of the great menhaden in
dustry in Maine. Her name was Bart
lett, and about half century ago, down
in Blue Hill bay, she was one day boil
ing some menhaden for her hens, when
she found a quantity of oil rising to the
top of the water in the pot. She skinned
it off, bottled it up, and, with unusual
enterprise, got aboard the old sloop that
piled between Boston and the east coast,
and took the strange oil among the deal
ers of the Club" A man named E. E.
Phillips examined it, and offered to buy
all she could bring him. She went home
happy, and all summer the old gentle
man Bartlett fished and the old lady
fried out the oil. In the autumn they
had enough oil to bring them in several
hundred dollars. This was the begin
ming of an industry that yields some
years fifty thousand barrels of oil, and
is second only to the whale fishery
