Tho steaming PROCESS.

Two Detroit young ladies met at a
dry goods counter and for time blocked
the channels Of trade by an exchange Of
experiences.
"You are looking SO transparent, !" said
one. "Tell me, dearest, what have you
been doing to YOURSELF"
'.Steaming," answered dearest, with a
self satisfied sigh. "It's tiresome and
hot, but the end justiies the means. ]
don't use powder any more the hot
water has better effect. I'm almost
parboiled now. And your
'sDo look improved, dearest?"
''Oh, yes, yes. You are SO spirituelle.
Do you sit up all night"
''No. l don't eat meat, and pose. /
just stare at nothing for hours and hours.
That gives me the true Hindooistic ex-
preston of transcendentalism. Oh, dear
est, it is so improving to look at nothing
and think of nothing for long time. 1t
is like the Sphinx"
excuse me- answered dearest slangi-
ly. eff / went into such improvement, ,
the family would shut me up and feed
me on bread and water. l steam my
features on the sly as it is"
Then these souls in Mutt fell to buy
ing dry goods like ordinary women who
do not pose, neither do they steam. De

Poisoned by Potash.

Sunday morning Mr.. Charles W.
Chase of 70 Anderson street, had very
narrow escape. For some time it has
been the custom for Mr.. Chase to par
take of coffee early in the morning.
Each evening Mrs.5AChase has prepared
coffee and set it aside in a pitcher. Mrs.
Chase was at Peaks Island on visit and
during her absence Mrs. Hackett, a mar
ried daughter, who was in charge of the
house, had set some potash aside in a
pitcher for use in the Monday washing.
Unluckily she left the pitcher where
Mrs. Chase had been accustomed to
place the pitcher of coffee, and Mr..
Chase, supposing it was his coffee. swal-
lowed some before he discovered his
mistake. A physician was summoned
and Mr.. Chase is now out of danger.

WILHELM LIEBKNECHT. ton at the uni
versities of Marburg, Giessen and Ber-
lin. But his education in politics was
made far more thorough by the stirring
movements in Germany from 1S4S to
1871. AS a student he took part in the
famous movement of 1848, was taken
prisoner, escaped and remained in other
countries, chiefly England, till 1862, when
he returned to Germany under the gem
eral amnesty. Three years later he was
expelled for socialistic utterances and on
returning without permission was i'm
prisoned.
Once more the rapid movements and
political changes resulted in his release,
md in 1867 he was elected to the local
reichstag. He also served term in
the diet Of Saxony. Then all local ques-
tions were lost sight of in view of the
struggle with France, after which came
German unity and imperialism, and in
1879 Herr Liebknecht was imprisoned on
charge Of high treason. His guilt or
innocence cannot well be determined
from an American standpoint, for it was
then in Germany as it was in this coun-
try in 1854, and opposing the admins
tration was liable to be COMPOUNDED with
hostility to the nation.
At any rate Herr Liebknecht had to
apply for pardon, which he received in
1874, and since that date his party has
gained strength SO rapidly that the en-
peror has made concession after conces-
sion in order to gain help against his
other opponents. Herr Liebknecht and
his talented wife, quite as radical in her
views as he, live on the third floor flat Of
handsome building in Charlottenburg,
a suburb of Berlin. Both are cheerful
and sociable, but show the wear of the
many hard contests they have gone

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Election of Teachers to Vacancies in the
North School

A special meeting of the School Board
was held yesterday afternoon, Mayor
Baxter presiding, and all the members
being present.
Several representatives of different
school desks were present and presented
the claims of their desks to the board.
Mr.. Chase, of the High school, ex-
pressed his preference for desk and
chair, both of which can be adjusted to
different heights, according to the age
aud growth of the pupil.
The board unanimously voted to con-
tract for 1854 Chandler desks. The desks
are to be made of polished oak and will
have adjustable fixtures. \
Mr.. Mcdonald proposed that an as
sistant to. Mr.. Shaylor in the teaching of
drawing be employed SO that the work
can be extended to the third and fourth
classes in the primary schools. This
idea met the entire approval of the
board and Mr.. Mcdonald nominated as
the assistant Miss Lucy @. Bedlow, who
has ijust graduated from the Practice
school. Miss Bedlow is promising
artist and is admirably qualified for the
place.
The matter of filing the two vacan-
cies in the North school was then taken
up.
Mr.. MCGOWAN made plea for the re-
election of Miss Isabel Kelley and nomin-
ated her for the first vacancy.
Mr.. Mcdonald also spoke in favor Of
Miss Kelley and gave the history of her
transfer last year from Crotch Island to
the North school against the protest and
votes of several members of the board.
Mr.. Brownson nominated for the place
Miss Elizabeth Cragin, who graduated
from the Practice school this year. A
ballot was taken, resulting as follows:
Whole number of votes .............6
Necessary fer choice. .............-.4
MISS Elizabeth Cragin had. .........4
Miss Isabel Kelley. .......-.....2
Miss Cragin was declared elected.
Another vacancy remained to be filled
in the North school and Mr.. Brownson
nominated for the place Miss Maud J.
Fabyan, who graduated this year from
the Practice school.
Mr.. Mcdonald nominated Miss Isabel
Kelley in opposition.
A ballot was taken with the following
result
Whole number of votes
Necessary for choice. ................4
Miss Maud j. Fabyan had ..........4
Miss Isabel Kelley1....
Miss Fabyan was accordingly declared
elected.
The matter of the proposed discon-
tinuance of the Centre street school was
called up by Mr.. Mcdonald. who said he
was not fully able to report. He sug-
gested that further time be given for the
report and asked that Mr.. McGowan be
added to the committee. This was done
and the question will come up at a
special meeting as soon as the report is
ready.

TIE AERoNAuTs.
Prof. Bready Tells Something About Co.
ing Up Into the Air and Falling Back
The Ascents will Be from the Western
and Eastern Promenades.

The aeronauts arrived in town yester-
day, and Prof. Fl. E. Bready, the senior
and manager of the party, was in consul
tation with the Fourth of July commit
tee last evening. The appearance of this
great dispenser of Fourth of July pleas
ure was surprise to those who met
him. A quiet, gentlemanly young man
of less than medium height, with clear
fresh complexion, slightly curly blonde
mustache, Prof. Bready seemed more
like school boy than daring naviga-
tor of the air. Although only &c years
of age, he modestly acknowledges that
he has made sixty-six ascents in the nine
years in which he has been in the bust
ness.
"Are you never afraid?'' asked PRESS
reporter.
1.-THE man does not live who can go to
the height in the air that we go with
out wishing at some time that he might
be back on earth. But these feelings of
regret do not come, as you might sup
pose, at the time when the descent from
the parachute begins. While the para
chute is unfolding we fall for two or
three hundred feet like shot. Some
times we hold our breath and sometimes
we do not. But the sensation is decided
ly exhilarating. After my first descent
felt so exhilarated that wanted to go
right up again.
''Of course there are many perils, es-
pecially in place so surrounded by
water as is Portland. Our balloon is a
big cotton canvas bag about 80 feet
high and 125 feet in circumference when
it is inflated with hot air. We go up
from 1000 to 5000 feet, SO you see an I'M
favorable wind makes it very dangerous.
l make it a rule to be careful to have the
conditions right before going up.
II shall probably not go up myself to-
morrow. My young brother, who is only
IS years old, but has made four ascen-
sions, will go up in the morning. HE is
a trapeze performer, and will give an ex-
hibition as he ascen6s.
''In the afternoon my wife, Mrs. Brea-
dy, will probably make the ascent. Al
though but twenty-four years of age she
has made two ascensions, and is an en-
thusiastic aeronaut. I do not think she
breads it much.
s'Of course in our ascents on this occa-
sion the height to which we shall go
will be regulated by the wind. If the
balloon should be driven off over the
Water the aeronaut will have to continue
to ascend until lie has drifted over land
again. This may bring him to a great
height before he cuts loose for the fall. :"
Prof. Bready gets $125 for single as
cension, and $75 for second one made
on the same day. He thinks this fair
compensation for the danger involved.
The committee held meeting last
evening to consult with the aeronaut as
to the ascent. He thought that Deering
Park would be better place for the as
cents, but it was decided that the first
ascension would be from the Western
promenade at o'clock p. M, and that
the second shall be from the Eastern
promenade at p. m. This time ar
rangements will be adhered to as near as
wind and weather shall permit.
