I had been called to the bar not quite

his professional occupations. When he
first undertook his duties, we had
started him with pint bottle of ink, a
a ream of draft paper, and gross OF
pens; and we had enjoined him to em-

cedents. He began with great vigor,
and copied about page and half, in

ream Of paper dwindled, somehow, and
the ink disappeared to an extent which
even the numerous little black devils,

NERVOUSNESS AND NERvINEs.-Ner-
vousness is one of the prices we have TO
pay for civilization; the nervous savage
Is being unheard of. For this disor-
der, which is partly of mental and
partly of a bodily nature, relief is
sought in various ways, and among
those we may place the employment Of
narcotics. The temporary relief af-
forded by these drugs is very aptto lead
those who suffer from nervous sensa-
tions to put too much trust in, and to
resort too frequently to them. In the
long run, they prove most destructive
to the health. Their use has of late BE-
come SO frequent as to threaten society
with serious evil. 1t has been boldly
contended that chloral is to be found IN
the work-boxes and baskets Of nearly
every lady in the west end Of the me-

doubt this is an exaggeration, but It Is
fact that in New York chloral punch
had become an institution scarcely 2
year after the introduction of chloral
into medical practice. And now it turns
out that Germany" sober, orderly, pa

thing as morphia disease spreading
among its population. The symptoms
are not unlike those of opium eating

The village boarding house on Huron
street was opeDed for the accommodation
of dodgers and boarders i'm the early part
of the week, under the immediate super
vision of Marshal Horne, and already he
has been called upon to cater for quite
number of inmates. One of the dodgers
i'm the institution possessed a friend in
an elongated specimen of the human
race, by profession painter, who
thought that perhaps the bill of fare
provided by Mr.. Horne was not just such
a one as his dear friend was accustomed
to, such as pies. cake, canned fruit, &C.,
and consequently, having a passionate
feeling for his friend, and doubtless
Knowing show he would feel himself" in

Marshal and asked the privilege OF pro-

tuition. MIR. Horne hesitated at first TO
show any partiallty i'm favor of any one
of those under his care, but at last was
prevailed upon to grant permission that
some canned peaches might be furnished
by the interested friend, and directed that
they be brought to his residence. In good
time the friend appeared and left some
canned fruit. the cans being already
opened, and givingas his excuse for doing
so that the boarders were deprived of
everything by which the cans could be
opened, which seemed very plausible,
but our Marshal having an Investigating
disposition, thought he would look into
the cans and see just what they contain

juice which had originally been around

place the cans had been filled with dis
titled juice of corn. of course this was
done to preserve the fruit from spelling

The Sandwich Islands Treaty Bill,
which has been for some time in allegiance
in consequence of the illness of Congress-
man Wood, was up in the House yester-
day. The Chief opposition to the bill
comes from an active lobby in the pay of
the American sugar interest. The treaty
was ratified by the Senate by large ma
jority after careful inquiry into its merits,
and it is to be hoped that the House will
pass the bill, having in its favor, as 1t
does the best brain and ability in the
House. In previous issue of the HER
AID we gave the import Of this bill and ad-
vocated its passage, giving our reasons
therefor. The only objection to the bill is
that the Federal Treasury would lose the
duty on its sugar, but the loss would be
more than balanced by the increased pros
perity Of the Pacific States, which would
lead TO larger consumption Of other du-
table articles. Every member Of Con-
gress from the Pacific States is warm and
earnest advocate Of the treaty, not only be-
cause it will give their constituents cheap
er sugar, but because it will open a new
and easily accessible market for their pro-
ductions, and would prevent Great Britain
from getting control of those Islands. 1t
will be most absurd in Congress to let
Great Britain get possession Of these ISL
ands, and secure the finest naval station on
the Pacific ocean, near enough to our
coast to be formidable basis of annoy.

This is the most important measure be-

the consummation Of this treaty as being

The Spring elections in the Presidential
wear will commence with New Hampshire,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. Of their
politics the New York Tribune speaks as
follows New Hampshire and Connecticut
have been for more than twenty years

the former having been two or three

DRESSING FOR PHoToGRAPH-To the
many who are puzzled how to dress and what
colors to choose for photograph, the following
suggestions will be valuable: Orange color is
for certain optical reasons GEOGRAPHICALLY
black. Blue is white, and other shades or
tones Of color are proportionately darker or
lighter as they contain more or less of these
colers The progressive scale of Photographic
color commences with the lightest. The order
stands thus:-White, light blue, violet pink
mauve, drab, dark blue, lemon. blue-green,
leather. brown, cerise, magenta, yellow-green,
purple, red, amber, orange, dead black. Com
plexion has much to be considered in connec-
tion with the dress. Blondes can wear much
lighter colors than brunettes; the latter always
present better pictures in dark dresses,
but neither look well in pure white. Violent
contrasts of color should be especially guarded
against In photography brunettes possess a
great advantage over their farer sisters. The
lovely golden tresses lose all their brilliancy,
and are represented black, while the "bonnie
blue ee," theme of rapture to the poet, is mis-
cry to the photographer, for it is entirely put
out. The simplest and most effective way OF
removing the yellow color from tle hair is to
powder it nearly white; it is thus brought to
about the same Photographic tint as in nature.
The same rule. of course applies to complex
ions. A freckle, quite invisible at a short dis
tance on account of its yellow color, becomes
most painfully distinct when photographed.
The powder box must be called in to the assis-
tance of art. Here is an opportunity to obtrude
a WORD of general advice. Blue, as has been
said, is the most readily affected by light, and
yellow the least. Therefore, any one desirous
of keeping the complexion free from tan and
freckles should, on going out into the sunshine
discard the customary blue veil and substitute
green or yellow one instead. Blue gauze Of
fers no more obstructionIto the rays of the sun
than white. Half yard of yellow net, though
not very becoming, will be found more effca-
cous than any amount of cosmetics. The
cause of freckles is simple enough. 1t is moth
ing more than the darkening of the salts of
iron contained 10 the blood by the action OF
light A freckled face is thus sort of ami
mated photograph.

FRENCH LIFE IS FULL OF RoMANcE.-A
young painter named Lucien Delaire, while at
work, few days ago, panting the walls in the
court yard of high building in the Rue du
Bac, Paris, dropped his brush, which fell
through a window below him, breaking the
pane of glass. He let himself down by the
rope to the window and called out: "Pardon,
careessly dropped my brush, but am will
ing to pay for the glass;" He received no
answer and on looking through the broken
pane saw young woman PROSTATE on the
floor He put his arm through, unfastened
the catch and jumped into the room, which
was filled with a strong odor of charcoal.
After throwing the windows wide open Lucien
devoted himself to reviving the young girl
The fresh air soon brought her TO-, and Marie
announced that she was dressing for young
friends wedding when she suddenly lost con-
sciousness and fell to the floor. She heard the
noise made by the breaking of the glass, but
was unable to move. The charcoal fumes in
the close room would soon have killed her, had
not the fortunate accident occurred. Marie has
now become the bride of her deliyerer.
