just What Bismarck Drinks.

FROM i4OnGOu IrutD.
The idea of Prince Bismarck having impaired
his faculties by Notwithstanding is really too
eXtravagantly preposterous fiction for even
lunatics to credit, and the even more offensive
allegation of alcoholism" is not less nOnsensi-
cal. Prince Bismarck formerly took his fair
share of wine or beer but he is man of iron
way by his potatlons The days however, when
hedrank champagne, beer, and Rhine wines have
passed away. A few years ago Prince Bismarck
found his neuralgia benefited by daily bottle
OF strong dry port, the wine being of a special
quality which he obtained direct from Oporto;
but this was also discontinued when he CON
suited DIR, Schweninger, and for long time past
his customary beverage has been weak whisky
and Apollinars, and even of this only com
paraliyely small quantity has been allowed.

upper Mississippi River by 40 miles.
Capt. Marshall recommends that to secure the
full benefits to be derived from the canal, the
Illinois and Michigan Canal should be enlarged
to the capacity of the Government canal, other
wise the proposed canal will be simply local
highway of Importance to its immediate neigh
hood, but regarded as a national highway of
but comparatively small significance. The re-
port discusses at length the usefulness of the
canal as contemplated, and its effect upon
freight charges or transportation lines in COM
petition with it. Capt. Marshall, in conclusion,
states that the canal cannot be of such value to
commerce as it would be were the line through
out of greater capacity. 1t is evident that the
canal should be built as a public necessity,
either by the Government or private corpora

AFaint Color Line Still Left.

fIOH Int BOsJOn GaItttc.
Another rumor has been current during the
week derogatory to Harvard and the pulpit.
This is that a colored man who had a part as
signed him had great difficulty in borrowing a
gown to wear on the occasion. Most of the
clergy found some plausible excuse when ap
preached on the subject, and it looked for some
time as if the young man would not be able TO
appear If this rumOr be founded on fact Chris
tian charity seems to be in some way removed
from our university town. 1t seems impossible
that to day there should be so much prejudice
still in existence, aud that ministers of Christ
should refuse their help to a brother merely be-
cause he happens to be colored.

WORD METAMORPHosEs.
Curious and Picturesque Origin of Some
Words in Common Use.

Curious and Picturesque Origin of Some
Words in Common Use.
From the Yorkshire Post.
The original meaning of some words has GER
tain picturesqueness about it, presenting to the
eye images ofwhat the physical and social world
was long before we blessed either with our pres
ence. A town is place hedged in; the country
is the land opposite (contra) to a town; peas
ant is the inhabitant of country district, and
pagan, which we associate with individuals, the
reverse of Arcanian, meant originally exactly
the same as peasant Boor meant farmer,
neighbor signifying the farmer living near to
ones door. Churl, too, only meant country
man, and the Charles Vain of nursery astron-
omy is the ceorl or churl's wagon. The scrupu-
lous man is he who walks as though he had
stone in his shoe; the sober man is simply not
drunk, (the privative rs" and eJ,ius;) the cant
ing man is always singing his pious sentiments;
the poltroon is one who has cut off his thumb
(pOllice trlmcato) to avoid military service the
stalwart man is either the steel-hearted man or
one worth stealing Our present idea of a can
didate Except in the case of Holy Orders)
is as different from that of an individual
standing in white as that of q parasite is from
that of warder of granary-its original mean
ing. When we palliate an insult, we literally
cover with q cloak the fact of having been leapt
upon; when we saunter, we initiate the gait of
those who either had, or said they had walked
over the Sd'1ctdm terrain. A salute was origi-
nally merely an inquiry after the sal,,s; when
the latter was in precarious state it was so OBJ
viously needed to be prayed for. The condition
of being half seas over is the effect rather than
the equivalent of Op-zce-zdubcr-over sea beer;
plausible simplicity, literally rendered, would
be the-seemingly worthy -of-applause state of
being without a fold. A ''trvial'' legend re-
calls old Rome where some budding poet might
display in some common hree-pdtH-avdy some
verses to be read. 'Parson'' recalls medieval
times, when the rector was persona ccclesio;
while "patter'' reminds us that not infrequently
his hurried and numbled pGte,nOSterS deied
comprehension.

To Make Plaster CASTS Presentab bic.

Plaster of Paris Venuses, Graces, Cupids,
Psyches, Apollos, ETC., may be dipped in thin
white wax which will give them marble-like
appearance, or may be painted terra Gotta of any
desired shade in imitation of genuine ware.
Water colors are better than oil for this latter
decoration, soakinginto the plastermore quickly.
Two or three coats are necessary, and plenty of
a combination of shades of one figure. Egyp-
tian heads, Spanish girls, or other plaster of
Paris busts may be decorated in fancy or native
colors. The base should be black, the shoul.
