The real estate oi Atlanta is valued at ten millions of dollars. Dr. Carver is knocking the feathers out of glass balls in England. Two ex-congressmen, W. J. Albert and Jas. N. Gibson, died last Sunday. The United States Senate, since its organi Senator liarris has introduced his National j quarantine bill again in Congress. Dispatches trout London announce that the | famine in Egypt is too horrible for descrip- j tlon. Terrible prairie fires have been raging irv Kansas recently, and the loss is estimated at $40,000. Senator Gordon appeared tor the first time, the present, session, on last Tues day, and took the oath of office, m The Roman Catholic convent at Cairo, 111., was struck by lightning a few days since and burned to the ground. A Kentucky judge was shotaDd killed last i week by Thomas Buford for rendering a de cision adverse to his (Buford’s) interests. E.x-I’resident Grant and party arrived at Singapore on the Ist of April all well- They will leave to-day for Siam, Surgeon and Hong Kong. The Baltimore Sun says Senators Gordon and Lamar have rented a house on A ermont Avenue, in Washington, which will be the so cial heaquarters ot the Southern democrats. The coming dog show at Gilmore’s Gar den, under the auspices of the Westminster Kennel Club, will he the finest ever held in . America. The funeral of B. C. Porter, the actor who j was assassinated in Texas, occurred at “the j little church around the corner” in New A ork last week. A Philadelphian imprudently confessed that : he had not seen “ Pinafore.” His shocked j listeners tore him to pieces in less than seven j minutes. Louise Pomeroy is the most popular ac- j tress that has ever visited the South. In j every city in which she has performed, the papers are tireless in their praises. The executive committee of the World's , P air, to be held in New York, decided upon bidding the fair in Central Park. It is proba- j l ie that 1883 will be the date fixed upon. Mr. Gye, the manager and director of the j Cuvcnt Garden theatre, in Loudon, has the | strongest operatic company ever brought to-j ■ether under one management—for this sea- j son. A dispatch from Calcutta says the situation j in Burrnah still continues to create considera- j Me anxiety, as the king is continually drunk, j The British mission has been sent to Coomas- ; ie iu Ashantee. Accounts from almost every county in In- j Minna, Ohio and Kentucky agree in the fact j timt the prospects for an immense wheat crop were never better, but the apple aud peach crops will be a failure. San Antonio Express: Gen. Toombs, of Georgia, has accepted the invitation to deliver the address at the opening of the State Fair, at Austin, next October, lie will prove quite an attraction to the people of Texas. Frank Miller, a poor employee iu the press room ol the Dallas Herald, has fallen heir to $200,000 by the death of his wife’s grandfa ther, Jenne Louis Champagne. Miller was a brother-in-law of General Mouton, who fell at the battle of Mansfield. Accounts from St. Louis are to the effect that the negro emigrants from Mississippi and Louisiana, and now on their way to Kan sas, arc in many instances in great distress. The originator of the immigration scheme is j a colored Republican preacher named J. C. j Em boy. The English government has instructed it 6 | representative in Washington to inquire ; about the capacity of the Southern mule as a beast of burden and draught iu tropical coun tries, with a view to introducing them into South Africa to haul army wagons and artil lery trains during the Zulu war. The principal contestants iu the grand j walking match for female pedestrians, now going on at Gilmore’s Garden, New York, are : j Madame LaChapelle, a native of Marseilles, France; Madame Frankliß, an English wo. man ; Miss Cora Cushing, born in Ireland 1 j Miss Bertha Von Berg, a German girl. They have all shown great endurance on other occa sions, aud the contest is looked forward to as j a close one between them. King Alfonso of Spain, according to a Lo don teleg -am, has been betrothed to Princess 5 Marie Amelea d’Orleans, daughter of the Count of Paris, aud consequently niece ot his recently deceased wife. The report is one to j be taken with a grain of salt. The youDg princess is but fourteen years old. She is the daughter of the eldest sister of the late Queen Mercedes, and a great-grand-daughter of the \ French king, Louis Phillippe. The Washington Republican, of Wednes- ; day, says: About 5 o’clock yesterday after noon, as Mrs. Senator Gordon was passing the j corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania ave nue northwest, a small colored boy picked j her pocket ot a puree of $23. The little j scamp was seen by Mr. Guy Thompson, who I caught him, recovered the pocket-book and money and returned it to the owner. The prisoner was taken to the Fifth Precinct sta tion, where he gave his name as John H. Lewis. As Mrs. Gordon refused to prosecute him he will be held as a suspicious character for Judge Snell to deal with. Governor Colquitt has been elected to address I the sixth annual encampment and reunion of I the blue ami gray, which will occur next Au gust at Cambridge, Ohio. It will be a reunion of the soldiers and sailors of the nation, and the attendance will be large. The fact that a Southern Governor has been chosen to make the address, shows that the association is just what it professes to be. It is really a conciliatory movement. There will he a large attendance both from the ranks of the blue aud the gray. Governor Colquitt has also re ceived invitations to address important public gatherings in Indiana and lowa next summer. The Governor does not yet know whether his official duties will Billow him to acoept these invitations. In the case of Fred. P. Cox, postmaster at Til ten, who is charged with detaining mail matter, Mr, Cox promptly appeared before Commissioner Smith, and gave bond for his appearance before the circuit court of the United States in May. It appears that the package, by mistake, came to the office of Mr. Cox about the time of the removal of his office, and ihat the envelope got mixed up with other envelopes for registered letters, and that the lailure to forward the same was of neglect rather than purpose. Mr. Cox never knew what the package eontaiued, he never having opened it. It is ascertained that it contains only $3.75. Mr. Cox is a gentleman ot respecta ble connection, jof good character, and the whole matter was an accident, rather than an intentional wrong. From the.circumstances and Mr. Cox's high character, no intent to do wrong could be reasonably imputed agaiust him,—Constitution. CANTU PFNISHMENT. The State Council of Switzerland h*s restored capital punishment. We don’t known to what extent capital punishment is required in Switzer land, but during the present rage and mania for murder, it would be diffi cult to estimate the number of mur ders that would occur in tho United States were it not for capital punish- j ment. While it is revolting and soul-sick ening to many of us to see a fellow man’s life taken from him, not in a moment of passion, but deliberately and with system and order—in the expiation of a crime, yet if 6ueh a law were repealed, if would undoubt edly result most disastrously to the country. Murder! Murder! would keep the wires not and the sexton in dustriously at wort from Christmas morn till Christmas eve. It is ar gued, and correctly too, that men commit murder in moments of pas sion, not thinking or caring for the consequences. They commit murder at times when they know their lives will be attempted by their victim’s friends, and yet if capital punish ment were abolished, murders of the foulest kind would be perpetrated in cold-blooded deliberation. Then in deed would murder become an art. Men stung by insult and injured by slander would deliberately study the best aud most effective way to slay his enemy and be willing to take the chances of receiving the punishment which would be substituted for the gallows. Many a bold and brave man has writhed and suffered under the lash of the blasphemous tongue and has silently listened to the vitu. perations of envy, hatred and jeal ousy, not Decause he was afraid to die, but because he was too patriotic to court death at the hands of his ; country—to die on the public scaf- ! fold. Capital punishment cannot be j dispensed with in this country, in fact it seems that we need something still more barbaric than our present : mode of inflicting punishment. RELIGIOUS FANATICS. The intensity of the desire mani- ; fested by the Christian world, these j latter days, to prefer charges against and try their ministers for violating certain rules or doing that which is not considered orthodox is fully ex emplified in the case of the Rev. Dr. Talmage. lie, in bis charity, sought by visiting the places of iniquity and the pandemoniums of corruption, to instill into the minds of the coining generation the depravity and de struction to which they were likely to be led ; to show the parents and guardians the necessity for exercising their authority over those under their protection, and warning them against the evils which beset them on every side, and for which he is on trial now by his own church. While the investigation of I)r, Tal mage might have had the effect of es- | tablishinga rattier dangerous pre cedent for the weaker class of the clerical force, vet, bis actions were i purely the result of a desire to benefit his race. The venture was certainly a dangerous one, and it is charged that his descriptions of the palaces of sin and pleasure would nave a ten dency to lead the inquisitive to such j places ; but nevertheless, the church ; should have been charitable enough j to overlook a mistake committed in nocently. Dr. Talmage says lie desires a j thorough investigation of ail the charges made against him, and does ■ not fear the result. A writer, speak* ingot it says, “the whole scheme is a diabolical concoction of a few ♦inter ate, religious fan2t*cs, who are not j worthy to tie the shoe of their rever end pastor.” TAX PISTOLS INSTEAD OF TOBACCO. There has been enough talk I through the press and privately con- ' eerning carrying concealed weapons to have suggested to the mind of some philosophically turned individ ual a remedy for this evil, but as yet ! none has been devised. The penalty in the first place, is not as severe as it should be, and in the second place, it is rarely enfoiced. Double the se*! verity of the penalty and enforce ! it strictly, and let society enforce its j condemnation of this unmanly and illigitimate pract’ce, and such traga dies as the ones which have filled our papers for several weeks will occur less frequently. If that is not sufficient, let the government, levy a tax—revenue—as it does upon whis key and tobacco. Would it not be wise to take the tax off of tobacco, and give the growers the j benefit of it, and levy the same on the manufacture of pistols, ex- ■ cept for the use of the government. The growers would be benefitted, and our lifes, would in some degree I be protected from the murderous ef-! tect of pistol balls fired in a moment of passion, which never fail to be a source of life long regret by the un happy possessors of such an uncon troiable passion. Atlanta has a royal visitor, so says the Constitution, the daughter ol the King of Bavaria, and Lola Montez. She will lecture in Atlanta soon on ‘Romanism in America,” her mis sion in America being to fight j against Romanism. She says she ) was imprisoned in the convent of the j Black T orest, when a baby, and kept there fourteen years, by order of the Jesuits, and has since traveled all over Europe and the Northern States making a tirade against Ro-1 maoism. She has notices of credit from the press of Chicago, Boston Bnd New York. Her life is full of romances and adventures, it appears, being wounded once by a hand I grenade thrown into her room after j a lecture. Perhaps we will hear j more from her in the future. She is ] Princess Editha Lozola, Baroness of Rosenthal and Countess of Lansfeldt. W hitthorne, of Tennesse, nominated Randall for speaker at the demos cratie caucus. He was also, the chief friend of Col. JJtirch, who received the nomination of secretary of the Senate. It is said that Randall and Burch both attribute their success to W. C. Whitt home. The first number of the North Georgia Argus has been received. I t is published in Gainesville by Messrs. Tiffiberlake & Jones, and displays much taste and neatness in its make up. We wish them much success, THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMERA. Many papers through the South, and North, too, are trying to create the impression that Tilden is the coming man, that he is the parties’ choice and their best man, when, in fact, it is no such thing. The New York Herald, in making a canvass of the House of Representatives, says that of 128 interviewed, 42 were found who would express no choice and 27 dead against Tilden. Now that isn’t a very sure indication that Tilden is to be the man. While our Congress being democratic, evi? dently foretells the result of the next campaign, it says, to begin with, that Mr. Tilden cannot be our next candidate. The Herald further says: “Thurman is the first choice of 50 and acceptable to 11 others. Hendricks is the first choice of 12 and is acceptable to 28. Bay ard is the first choice of 10 and ao. ceptable to to 19.” The preference for Thurman comes from the Western memoers, and on account of his financial views. It is believed that any of the candidates, except Tilden, could carry the full party vote. Thus it becomes more evident that Mr. Tilden will not be the nominee of our National Con vention. The objections to him are put forth iu very strong terms by some of the soundest democratic or gans in the country. One says: “We j do not want to elect a man to fid the Presidential chair, who will in all probability die before half his term expires.” Another says : “The Presidential chair must not be filled by a man whose mind is diseased, and on whom imbecility is surely creeping.” All these thrusts are ui rectly at Mr. Tilden, and such things ) would certainly’ not be said of a man who was once our National nominee and in reality our President, unless they contained some ves'iges of truth. An exchange says these sensational interviews of the Herald are by no means the facts. Whether they are facts or not, Tilden’s friends ought to knovv that it would be to his interest to suppress them. And it should be further remembered that the Herald is, and always has been a non partizan paper, and proposes only to publish facts relative to either side of j the great political questions of the day. Don’t force on the people a candidate whom they do not want. THE LAST DF IT. T e are permitted to copy a para graph from General Gordon in a pri vate letter to a friend, by which it may be inferred that be will take no notice of Dr. Felton’s letter, so the j controversy may, and we trust will, never be renewed. He says : “The charge that I assailed Mrs. Felton in the canvass or out of it, is too ab surd to need a word from me. The whole of the 7th district knows that I never referred to her, even remote ly, nor did I assail Dr. Felton.” But enough of this. Knox Martin, Golored, was hanged in Nashville last Friday for commit 0 ting a double murder. He confessed his guilt and could not be persuaded to take an appeal to the Supreme court. He gave his body to the phy sicians of Nashville for dissection, several of whom tried by electricity and artificial respiration to resuscitate him. The circumstances, they said, were unfavorable to the success of the experiment, yet they produced some wonderful symptoms of returning life after a lapse of fifteen or twenty minqtep. The pulse returned, the eyes opened and several gasps for breath ver? noticed, The experi ment came nearer being successiu* than any ever before tried. It is for tunate for the negro that he was not restored to life, as he would have un doubtedly been mobbed. A dispatch to the Nashville Amer ican dated March 29th, announced the death in Lebanon, by suicide of Hon. H. Y. Riddle, recently repre sentative in Congress from that dis° trict. It has been rumored for some time that his mind was affected, and this, with considerable financial trouble, is believed to be the cause of his action. Mr. Riddle was about 45 years of age. IJe was educated for a lawyer, and graduated at the Lebanou University, but never fol lowed that profession but little. He was a member of the Legislature in 1857. At the breaking out of the war he entered the confederate ser vice, and remained in the army until ! its close. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters. Acollision occurred on the New York elevated railway last week, injured several persons severely, though not dangerously. Mrs. Wil liam Henry Peck, the wife of the contributor to the New York Ledger, was among the injured, and gives a long account of the accident to sev eral newspaper reporters. This is the first accident that has ever oc curred on the elevated road, and it will be uufortunate for it, doubtless, as it was very rapidly growing into public favor, and making a great deal ef money. Mr. G. W. Owens, a young actor of Tennessee, made a big hit in New York last winter when the police were looking for the body of A. T. Stewart. Booth was playing Ham let, and Owens was playing the part of the grave digger. When he un earthed the skull, which was to be Yorick’s, he replied to Hamlet, “That’s A. T. Stewart’s skull.” It brought down the house, and Booth ! himself could not help laughing. The American locomotive, which was on exhibition at the Paris Ex j Position is making a tour through j France, Switzerland and Italy with the most brilliant success. It attracts great attention and draws large crowds wherever it stops. Collector C. W. Wade has been appointed an agent at Savannah by the Treasury Department for the •ale of United States refunding cer tificates, act of February 26,1879, and will commence selling about the Ist j of April. Two men in North Carolina were disputing about the length of a pig’s tail. One of them told the other he ! l *®d. Result: Two pistol shots, one ' dead man and a stray thumb. “DOWN IN ALA BAM’.” Rambling Setts from that Region for the Express. Very little is known by the gen?*l eral pul lie of late concerning the country in south Alabama, away from public thoroughfares, the more because last fall the world’s attention was called especially to the plague stricken valley of the Mississippi; hence these rambling notes may be of interest. Thursday morning I viewed Selma and it was never more lovely. A genial sun, after liberal showers the night previous, which laid the dust and settled the sand in the streets, softened the compressed buds so that they could almost be heard while popping into view. It is a quiet place and has grown very little. An immense hotel built just before the war has never been com pleted; it is now an “eyesore,” rath er than an ornament to the city. Se rious complaint is made against the steamboat monopoly from Mobile to Montgomery, and Selma grows im patient fora southern outlet for the Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad. This road, it is expected, however, will take steps to extend its lines ere long. It is making a herculean struggle to get out of the receiver’s hands, and liberal earnings are in store for that purpose. I visited the cemetery at S vim a es pecially to see the burial place of, Gen. Hardee. It is marked by the most elegant monument in the cem etery. There is on the granite base a large marble block surmounted by a beautiful cross entwined with carved ivy. It is erected both for the general and his wife. The in scriptions are. on one side : WILLIAM J. HARDEE, Lieutenant-General C. S. A., Born Oct. 15, 1815; Died Nov. 6, 1873. And oi the other: Mary Lewis Har dee, v ife of Gen. Wm. J. Hardee, born May 13, 1838;*died April 6, 1875. The Confederate monument capped by a splendid statue of a sol dier at “rest on arms.” of Alabama granite, very like the confederate gray in color, is over thirty feet in height, and stands near the centre of the ne w grounds. The base, of sim ilar material, is built of blocks suita ble in size to inscribe name, etc. The commander of the Merrimack is one of the names engraved. A soldier of the Eighth Tennessee is there buried, for whom no inquiry was ever made. I thick his name is preserved by the Memorial Association. GOING OUT FROM SELMA by private conveyance on the Cahaba road, I soon saw a sad change in the appearance of things. Cahaba the old county seat of Dallas, ten miles below Selma, and near the river, by its splendid old court house, its grand old churches, its unoccupied and de populated residences prepares the traveler for the sad destitution of people in the country below. Over an hundred and fifty miles traveled, on the principal" roads on both sides of the river, I passed some thirty resiliences of ante-bellum wealthy planters, hardly any of which are occupied at present by white people, and many of them do not seem to have been occupied at all for years. The blinds to the windows are either decayed and ready to fall to the ground, or else they have disappeared and the glass from the windows are gone also. WAITING FOR THE FERRY. It is 3 P. M., March 28, and I have taken pencil while waiting for the ferry. Our team is tired and the writer knows how it is himself when Peyton says “I am hungry.” Now the ring of the horn across the mud dy and swift but quiet stream re minds us again that the ferryman •>.*/.* have cone to sleep in the held as the same sound has reverberated frequently for the last half hour, not vv thstanding someone announced quite a while ago that “He’ll be over directly.” What a country this! We’ve trav eled since early morn and much of the time through as fine country as can be found on this sphere. The ssil is rich, the uplands being almost equal to the river bottoms—but till ers are wanting. Halting at the prettiest place on our route to-day we thought to get dinner and feed our horses, hut the front door and window blinds were all closed. A white lad in his shirt sleeves who seemetl to be in search of doodlebugs by an outhouse, gave us proper di rections, ant. I hesitated about wheth er to pursue, until 1 saw from the opposite side of the house a woman who pulled her black Jpur as she walked out to a goose nest where soon there was a fight, the woman looking .is if she were mad as Edgar Poe at the raven, strkihg the fowl vigorously with the hand. We didn’t ask for dinner. The last “quarter” as the darkies called it is a fine one of about two thousand acres, and since it changed hands the place having ‘ eaten itself up with debt,” the pres ent owner leases it to the colored people af fifteen acres for a bag of cotton, yet this identical land has for years yielded a bag per acre. IIOW THE NEGROES ARE DOING. The negroes appear to have been forsaken. Be it remembered to their credit that they are generally at work and appear to consider seri ou-iy their responsibilities. The last boy we passed after handing us water end telling that the health in this [ section is good generally, said in re gard to the present year, he intended [ to work hard and pray Hie Lard to help him, and with a pleasant ani mation in his face added, “That’s the best of all.” Hark! I hear a sound and look across the river. It is the ferryman. Twice have I moved my seat of long moss to keep in the shade of a tall poplar tree and Peyton sleeps in the bu ggy while the horses rest quietly, all of us fanned gently by a pleasant breeze of pure air. The “flat” is pushed well up the stream by one man before starting across who, al though he looks like a boy in the dis tance, treads the floor of the boat, as it parses up the stream, heavily as would a horse crossing a wooden bridge. I’ve learned a lesson from the arti : cle about “five minutes” published in the Express recently, and find that to take advantage of the spare moments we save a good deal, and, so while waiting a whole hour this little bit of penciling will certainly do no harm unless to take a few min utes’ timo of the reader that might have been employed to better advan tage. It would seem that our ferry man had started to Selma for on he tramps as he presses the boat along the opposite bank. Now, out he comes and crosses over and gets to the shore a little below the landing. When the team had been driven i aboard the “flat,” the driver begins to unhitch, but the ferryman says, “No use, will be across by the time > you get them loose.” This was con trary to the advice given at Prairie Bluff ferry ear!y in the day, when Prince Mille r , who has had charge of the ferry for forty-five years, said it was always best to loose the horses no matter how well used to crossing. Prince was about right, and we real ized it tie more fully when on re crossing at ( liftou an extended limb came nfar breaking the top from our buggy and doing serious injury to one of the horses. The ferry busi ness i- regulated by county boards of commissioners on the Alabama river. The charge allowed after a pretensive compliance with the regulation to keep good roads to and from the ferry is 75 cents, until the water is a certain height, when it is dotTble. Unfortu* oately, we were either a little too early or a little too !ate as the mark was just a “leetle under,” and all doubts are reserved in favor of the ferry. The commissioners should I have a tree mark with a sign to indi- ; cate if they want the public to get justice. But enough of this. THE PR BPECT FOR A CROP. Corn is up, nearly ready to plow, and the stand good. The lands gen- j erally are in good condition. There j is an increased acreage this year of both cotton and corn. The rust proof oat is grown extensively, and is a valuable crop. I could hear of no wheat sown iu that region. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Nashville American. In the selection of the three mem bers taken from the Southern States, on this most important, board, Pres ident Hayes lias been peculiarly for tunate. From the long list of dis tinguished names, which we hap pened to know, were carefully cons sidered by him before making the nominations, he could not have hit upon three better calculated to give universal satisfaction in the entire South or lo command the respect of the nation at large. Dr. J. L. Cahill, the distinguished medical professor in the University of Virginia, and present president of the American Public Health association, combines scholarship, experience anti high personal worth in no common de gree. Dr. S. M. Bemiss, formerly of Kentucky, and now of the Uni versity of Louisiana, has gai r ’ : reputation as a writer and j tionerand teacher. His rect ’ 1 - hors on the yellow fevercomm has given him national re*' 1 . w Dr. Robert VV. Mitchell, <■■{’ ,\J ,u phis, has for years been" known to the profession of Tennessee as emi nent for practical skill, as professor in the Memphis medical college, and as remarkable for administrative ability displayed in various public portions. Ilisself-sacrificing labors in cholera and yellow fever epidem ics have for years endeared him to the people of Memphis. His recent heroic efforts, as medical director of the Howards, has made his name and fame household words among the millions who so promptly and generously sprang to; the relief of a pleague-scourged people. Again we say that President Hayes deserves the cordial thanks of all our people for the broad and liberal spirit dis played by him in making these most important appointment. Of tne official and northern mem bers of the board, we can truly say that the selections are admirable. The national board has been created at the instance of southern states men. It has gieat responsibility, and will, beyond question, accom plish a great work in preventive medicine. A Memphis snecial to the Nash ville American says: A test case of the Sunday laws will be made, in volving the constitutionality of the act forming the taxing district. Hen ry Luehermans was fined for selling liquors on Sunday. The case came up in the circuit court on appeal. The defense allowed the judgment of President Porter to be affirmed, and appealed to the supreme court. The case is a very interesting one, as a fight will he made on Porter’s au thority to fine. The defense contend ed the act establishing the taxing district is void, and Porter has no power to fine ; that the judiciary au thority is vested under the constitu tion in justices of the peace and re corders of municipal corporations, and that the legislation aud fine are unconstitutional. Nine of the best lawyers in Memphis will argue for the taxing district. The case will be argued before the supreme court at Jackson, next month, and the result is awaited with anxiety. A Confederate Soldier In Bronze. A bronze figure of a Confederate soldier, measuring seven feet in height and weighing nearly one thousand pounds, has recently been finished at the National Fine Art Foundry. It was modeled by the sculptor, Richards, and is to sur mount the shaft of the Soldiers’ Me.- morlal in Savannah, Ga. The figure represents a private of ti e Confeder ate army. The stock of his gun rests on the ground at his feet, and the fixed bayonet extends from the top of the barrel, in front of his shoulder He wears a belt with a cap box and cartridge-box, and on the clasp of the belt letters “C. S.” The coat of the uniform that was sent to the sculptor to assist him had been too near some camp fire, and was burned away from the corners in front. This is faithfully represented in the statue. A florist figures up the value of tho flowers given to Miss Webster, at a benefit in Boston the other evening, at SI,OOO, and she isn’t much of an actress either. At a country hotel : The Boy—Yer put ver boots out side every night to git, ’em blacked, yer say ? The Traveler —Of course, you block head ! The Boy—Why didu’t yer say so before? I thought it was because they was disagreeabble to yer. “O\LY 51E,* ! BT MBS. CAROMS* A. MASON. A little figure glided through the hall; “Is that you. Pet -’’ the words came tenderly; A sob—suppressed to let the answer fall— “It isn’t Pet, mamma; it’s only me.” The quivering lips!—they had not meant To utter any word could plant a sting. But to that mother-heart a strange pang went; She heard, and stood a convicted thing! One instant, and the happy little face Thrilled 'aeath unwonted kisses rained abov And from that moment, “Only Me” had plice And part with “Pet” in tender mother-love. SHOP WINDOWS. Not only are elegant and expen sive goods placed in positions where they can hardly be seen, but when exposed, it is done in such clumsy fashion as to lose half the effect. There is a well-known law of art Concerning the “harmony of colors,” ant' also the “harmony of form.” Both apply to the arangement of goods in a window. Gay colors should be matched with gay colors, and should not overawe and “snuff out” mellow and tender ones. Large objects should go with large ones and should not render insignificant smaller objects. Many traders pay special attention to this subject, and make it a con stant study. Drapers, for instance, are generally adepts in it, which is the cause sometimes of the success in competing w ith the regular station ary trade. —American Stationer. Does Aleholiol Warm the Body? Professor Bing has come to the fol owicig conclusions on this subject : Ist. That aleonol lowers the heat of the body, aud that it preserves life in febrile affections, where the tempera ture rises very high, by its anti pyretic properties. 2nd. That ex treme depression of the vital powers febrile cases is most frequently de pendent upon the temperature of the blood, and passes off when it falls. 3rd. That the number and strength of the contractions oftho heart always rise under the use of alcohol. Whenever, therefore, such an effect would be injurious, alcohol would he an improper remedy. 4th. That in all probability alcohol lowers the temperature by the retarding in fluence it exerts over the oxidizing process. Pause before you repeat an injurious story about a woman. Say to your self. ‘This may not be true, or it may be exaggerated,’ unless you have proof of the veracity of your informant. People may sometimes ‘hear wrong.
