The WAY IT WORKS. The Detroit Tribune
says in illustration Of a phenomenon very
familiar to journalists


The day after news had been recsived Of the
death Of Mr.. Dickens. our daily exchanges with
in 500 miles came laden with their regrets and
laudations 10 a couple Of days the more dis
tant dailies came along with similar regrets and
laudations a few days after, came the weekles
still few days later, the illustrated and literary
papers following them, the g New York Cor
respondents " Of country papers, ail Of whom
were his intimate friends and cOufdants all
bearing the same burden Of sorrow and discus
sion of mis- worth. We have yet to receive the
Monthlies, which will be succeeded by the An
nuAls. and the subject will die away in the Ea-
cyclopeda The course is noticeable on the oc-
currence Of any great event and he whose bust
ness it is to read wide range Of publications
finds it long time before the echoes Of the
greater themes have died away

1. If a man faints, place him fat on
his back and let him alone.


2. If any poison is swallowed, drink
instantly half a glass of cold water
with a heapipg teaspoonful each of
common salt and ground mustard
stirred into it; this vomits as soon as
it reaches the stomach; but for fear
some ot the poison may still remain,
swallow the whites Of one or two raw
eAgs, or drink cup of strong coffee,
these two being antidotes for a great
er number Of poisous than any dozen
articles known, with the advantage of
their being always at hand; if not,
half pint of sweet oil, or lamp oil, or


'drippipgs," or melted butter or lard,
are good substitutes. especially il they
vomit quickly.


5. One Of the best thirgs to stop the
bleeding of moderate cut instantly,
is to cover it profusely with -four and
salt, half and half.


4. If the blood comes from a wound
by jets or squirts, be quick, or the
man ill be dead in a few minutes,
because an artery is severed; tie a
handkerchief loosely around near the
part between the wound and the heart;
put stick between the handkerchief
and the skin, twist it round until the
blood ceases to flow, aud keep it there
until the doctor comes; if In a posi-
ton where the handkerchief cannot
be used, press the thumb on a spot
near the wound, between the wound
and the heart; increase the pressure
until the bleeding ceases; but do not
lessen that pressure for an instance.
until the phycieian arrives, so as to
glue up the wound by the cosgulation
or hardening of the cooling blood


5. Ifyour clothes take fire, slide
the hands down the dress, keeping
them as close to the body as possible
at the same time sinking to the floor
by bending the knees; this has
smothering effect on the flames; if
L sextinguished, or great headway
is gotten. lie down on the floor roll
over and over, or better. envelope
yourself in carpet bed cloth, or any
garment yon can gst hold of, always

Like dropping, dying stars our loved ones
20 away from our sight. The stars Of our
hopes, our ambitions, our prayers, whose light
ever shines before US, leading on and up, they
suddenly fade from the armament of our
hearts, and their place is felt empty, cold and
dark A mothers steady soft and earnest
light that beamed through all our wants and
sorrows; fathers strong, quick light that
kept our feet from stumbling in the dark and
treacherous ways; a sisters light, so mild so
pure, so loving and 80 firm, shines upon us
from gentle loving eyes, and persuading US
to grace and goodness a brothers light,
bright and bold and honest; a lovers light,
forever sleeping in our soul, and Illuminating
our goings and comings; friends light, true
and trusty-gone out forever no The
light has not gone out 1t shines beyond the
stars where there is no night and no darkness
forever.

Ar The difficulty between Gov. Holden and the judiciary or North Carolina seems to have taken the form of a downright re- fusal Of the executive to recognize the writ of habeas corpus. The entire disregard of law in certain communities in that state seem to justify the governor in exercising his full authority, but we must confess that we cannot see where he gets the right to put counties under martial law.

Evidently Prussia was fully prepared
and ready for the present war. 1t is
altogether matter of certainty that the
war with France has been regarded since
1866 as only a question Of time, and
liable to occur at any moment; and,
with this certainty of its future, prepara-
ton for years has been made, even to the
most minute particular. Since the
termination of the Austrian war, not
railroad car even has been constructed
IN Prussia or any of its dependencies-
Saxony, Bavaria or Baden-in which the
primary idea of its construction has not
been military capacity and adaptation,
rather than passenger or merchandise
traffic ; and on every such car to-day in
use in Prussian Germany may be seen
distinctly marked the capacity of the
same for so many men, or so many
horses.


/ The system of military enrolment and
enumeration, as affecting all those liable
to perform military duty, but not in
actual service, was also so perfect that
the men fell as it were into their places
at the instant the summons reached the
district or town commanders, through
the medium of the telegraph. Shunted
off for a period of some hours to allow of
the passage of military trains, at a town
of about five thousand inhabitants. on
the Minden and Cologne Railroad, we
learned that III this place the conscrip-
ton had amounted to almost ten per cent,
of the whole population, or to an aggre-
gate of five hundred men. The summons
to the field came, we were further inform
ed, at night, after a majority of the inhabi-
tants had retired to rest, and yet before
noon of the next day the whole of the
municipal quota had been assembled,
uniformed, organized with slb-officers.

placed in the ranks. while their carmen
or porters. as ub-of1icers-sergeants or
corporals--were placed over them
Another Illustration of the extent of the
Prussian military preparation was to be
found in the circumstance, that oven on
the borders Of Holland, in situations
apparently far removed from the con
tingencv of invasion, the equipment of
the forts the preparation of the glacis
by the telling of trees and the erection
of new lines of palisades, seemed to be
as carefully and strategically made as in
respect to its more important fortifca-
tons of Mayence or Cologne.

AMERICAN ToADYIsM New York CORE
spondent of the Sacramento Union says:


There is much gossip here just now about the
quarrels of certain woud-be queens of fashion
able society, and this in connection with the late
visit of Prince Arthur. Six-anG-thirty magnates
of the moneyed arstocracy of New York consti-
tuted themselves the breme dc Ia creme of society
and INVITED the Prince to "a ball at Demonico's 5
reserving to themselves the exclusive right of
saying who should aud who should not be pres
ent at it, After having issued the invitations
the worthy thirty-six discovered that they had
only invited mddle-aged and elderly people
Here terrible mess to begin with. They
mnst have young people to dance, and unfortu-
nately Delmonico's room was limited in size
They. were obliged therefore, TO adopt the un-
pleasant course of recalling some of the invita-
lions and of forwarding them to younger persons
This, of course, caused bitter heart burnings
and it is said that soMe of the ladies refused to
return their cards of invitation, and were act
ualy present at the ball. The committee made
another mistake in drawing up the list of the
young ladies with whom the Prince should
dance. These were selected not accout OF
their good looks, or because they exceled in
dancing, but on account of their wealth or prom
inence. After essaying one or two Of the part
ners appointed to him and finding them not
much TO his liking, the Prince very naturally in
formed tue committee that us it was IA private
ball he would choose his own partners for the
coming dances This was Il crushing blow to
the am bilious hopes of those who had been told
that they to dance with the Prince and
they, one and all, in company with their friends,
left the ballroom in high dudgeon, vowing ven
geance against the committee and the fortunate
usurpers of their royal partner. The commit
tee, too, so bungled matters that they actually
selected two ladies for the Prince to escort to
supper. This, of course, would be great
breach of the eonDendnee of good society, and led
to a perfect war of words between the two ladies


in one of the aute-rooms to which should re-
ceive the high honor. Mrs. A. II. Stewart, the
wife of the rich dry goods dealer, bore off the
palm of victory, and the other lady, the wife of
the most prominent bankers of Wall street. i'm
mediateIy retired from the scene in high state
of Indignation. The consequence of all this is Il
regular emeute in fashionable life. Some elderly
ladies will not accept an invitation TO dinner
party without first receiving an assurance that
certain persons have not been invited The
would-be partners of the Prince will not 90 to
balls where his actual partners are likely to be
present. Former Intimate friends cut one an
other dead in the Park, and make sneerng com
ments on one another as being 'ony shoddy. !"
Time will doubtless throw oil on the troubled
waters of society, and let US hope that experience
will moth lost on these thirty-six wiseacres the
next time they lave chance of entertaining IL
Prince.

Feat OF DEER.-The Sacramento Union of
March 2lst says CAT Agricultural park last
Friday evening race took place between two
bounds and young deer which Robert Allen
has there. The starting place was the northern
end of the track, and from there half way up the
rate was very close, the dogs finally closing
upon the deer and nipping him II little. This
had the effect to increase his speed greatly, and
be bounded across from the east side of the
course to the grand stand at IL rapid rate, gain
ing about thirty feet in doing SO. The picket
fence in front of the grand stand he took very
pretily, but came to grief directly afterward, in
consequence of a collision with II rope stretched
across the track, which tumbled him head over
heels. Gathering himself up before the bounds
reached him, however, he made for Aliens resi-
dence, where he had frequently been petted by
the family. The doors and windows being
closed he made a spring at the window and
passed through pane of glass eleven inches by
Iwenty without breaking the SASH and landed
on the dning-room table--a specimen of venison
sef.served The feat is one which would appear
almost incredible to any one acquainted with
the size of the deer and the aperture through
which be passed"

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS The New

says that not much importance is to be attached
of the prominent banks of New York to put an

boldly resume There is reason to believe that
there will be permanent resumption of specie
payment speedily. All the events of the past


year have paved the way. For once our export,

millions of government bonds to Europe, show.
