A GRAMMATICAL TRAGEDY.*
Sally Saulter «he was a young teacher and taught.
And her friend Charley Church was a preacher who
praught;
Though his friends all called him a sereecher, who
ecraught.
His heart when he saw her, kept sinking and sunk.
And his eye meeting bers, kept winking, and wank;
While she, in turn, fell to thinking and thunk.
He hastened to woo her, and sweetly he wooed.
For his love grew until to a mountain it grewed,
And what he was longing to do then he deed.
In secret he wanted to speak and he spoke.
To seek with his lips what bis heart long had soke;
So he managed to let the truth leak, and it loke.
He asked her to ride to the church and they rode,
They so sweetly did glide that they both thought they
glode,
And they came to the place to be tied, and were tode.
They homeward he said let us drive, and they drove,
And as soon as th< y wished to at rive, they arrove;
For whatever he couldn’t contrive, she controvo.
The kiss he was dying to steal, then he stole,
At the feet where he wanted to there he knole;
And he said, I feel better than ever I foie.”
So they to each other kept clinging, and clung.
While Time on his swift circuit was winging and swung J
Auil this waa the thin:: he was bringing, and brung.
The man Sally wanted to catch, and had caught,
That she wanted from others to match, and hadsaught—
Was the one that she now liked to scratch, and had
ecraught
And Charley’s warm love began freedn 2, and frose.
While he took to teseinsr, and cruelly tose.
The girl he had wished to be squeezing and squose.
“Wretch!” he cried, when she threatened to leave hlua
and left.
How could you dsceive me. as you have deceit f”
And she answered, “I promised to cleave, and I’ve
cleft I’’ — Punchinello.

Franc Tirrcrs—Somethino About the
French Sharp-Shooters. —There has been
much argument on the street ant ing the
reading public, as to the correct definition
of the word fianc-tireurs, and in the
printing offices among a fraternity who aie
more directly interested in being assured of
the correct definition of words in foreign
languages than any other working class of
the community The word franc in the
French language, means free, and tireur, a
shooter, and in France, by the payment of
a trifling sum of money, any one may ob
tain a license to keep a gun, and shoot
freely after all the necessary formulas are
gone through, hence he is a jranc tireur,
or free shooter. Many in this country
suppose them to he sharp-shooters, but the
French word for sharp- shooter is tirailleur .
,*uu it can oe reaany perceived that there is
no similarity between that and franc tireur.
They may he sharp-shooters, it is true, but
it is due to their constant practice during
the shooting season in France, and to that
same license which guarantees to them the
free use of arms, and from which cause
many of them may knock out a Prussian's
eve as nently as Daniel Boone harked a
squirrel, Nor are they guerrillas, as many
believe. Thev do not wander about, way
oiv-ng struggling parties of the enemy, or
p uodering and rendering homeless the
disaffected of their nationality. Many of
trmm are high-toned young noblemen,
whose faces would rouge to the roots of the
hair, and whose swords would leap from
Hi*- seaohard at such a slur upon the family
h n< r. And when King Wil iam sees fit to
hurl his legions against the walls of Paris,
they will meet with a reception from those
free-shooting peasanty and sporting gentle
men that will bring forth many a round
oa»h in grammatical German, and told in
history as only equal to the rapid slaughter
.f the King’s English by Jackson's Ken
tuckians at, Chsilmette. They were franc
tireurs and tiralleurs too. And this is the
best idea that can be conveyed of the
meaning of t >e word.
How Gable Messags* are Transmitted.
—The Journal of the Telegraph thus de
scribes the manner in which European
news is sent over the cable :
‘•Here is a man sitting ir. a dark room at
Heart’s Content. The ocean cable termin
ates here. A fine wire attached thereto is
made to surround two small c res ot soft
iron. As tho electric wave, produced bv a
few pieces of copper and zinc at Valentia,
passes through the wire, these cores become
magnetic en.-ugh to move the slighest ob
j ct. A looking-glass, half an inch in
diameter, is fixed <»n a bar of iron one tenth
of an inch square and half an inch loDg.
On this tiny glass a lamp is made to glare
so that its light is reflected on a tablet on
the wall. The language ol the cable is de
noted by the shifting of this reflect and light
from side to side Letter by letter is thus
expressed in this flitting idiom, in utter
silence, on the wall. There is no record
made by the machine except as the patient
watcher calls out to a comrade the trans
lated flashes as they come, and which he
records. It seems like a miracle of pa
tience. There is something of awe creeps
over us as we see the evidence of human
touch 3.00 > miles away, swaying that tide
of light.”
Democratic Gain in I >wa or 10.000. A
correspondent wnting to the Chicago Times
und» •• de'e of Oct. 18tb, says ; “Rejoicing
wi»h vou <»ver the late results in Indiana,
(an I m jjht say every where es the radi
cal tnaj rities have he°n cut down largely in
all qua ter-), I trust you will take
counts; •. and advocate with more zeal (if
possible) than ever, the great democratic
principles which will soon control the votes
of be American people. The Democracy
of lowa have succeeded in cutting d<>wn the
radical majority from 40,000 to 30.000. and
it is to be hoped that after three years more
of radical rule that the intelligent people of
lowa will blot out the party of high tariff,
bigo and aD army of office-holders,
who are kept in office for the purpose of
getting the spoils.”
The Journal of Commerce truly remarks
• hat * a bns'ness house is not well knowD,
it should become so bv liberal advertising ;
and the better it becomes known for fair
transactions the larger its business, especial
ly wh en it makes a publio promise of liber
ality”
About Marrying.— Fanny Fern says :
Occasionally youog men of good charaeter
indulge in gloomy doubts concerning the
average American women, hut such doubts
cun easily be traced to disappointed affec
tion, or perhaps it may be prod jeed by the
horrors of a cheap boarding-house. Mar
riage is sanctioned by God and comm >n
sense. It is the only means wherehv a
yonDg man in this age and country can
hope to lead a respectable and cleanly life.
But there are two classes of persons who
are exempt from its j »ys and sorrows ;
If you, vouDg man, are deaf, dumb, lame,
blind and idiotic, and if your ancestors have
been such, or if you are so mean that your
life is that of a friendless, snarling cur, and
you could not be anything else, even to
your wife, you may stand inside.
If you, youn* man, have conceived that
ambition so common now-a-days. of a “fast
man;" if you have made up your mind to
keep a fast horse and a concubine; if your
idea of happiness is to have your hands full
of cards and your stomach full of oysters;
if you, in short, have made vour arrange
ments to go straight to perdition, without
change of cars, you’d better not marry.
You will spend the money that the honora
ble man lavishes on a home and its “light
and life," on painted creatures who drag
your polluted name through every sink in
this land ; who will display the jewelry and
gifts you have bestowed on them, and curse
you w ith a glib, round oath for a spooney
and a fool. You, too economical to marry,
will have plenty to spend on long-haired
cot-thruats, who will leave you at last, it
may be, to die wifeless and childless, amid
the dust and cobwebs of a garret.
A Diamond Brllb n South Africa —A
writer who professes to have visited the
diamond regions of South Africa, and of
Which be relates marvelous tales, quite
throwing in the shade those told in the
“Arabian Nights," describes a reception
given by President Brandt of the Transvaal
Republic. We make an extract :
“Some of the court ladies present appear
ed to be almost laden down with diamonds.
They also wore the riches material in dress
es, and the brilliant diamonds were shown
off to their greatest advantage when con
trasted with the dark complexions of 6ome
of the distinguished female guests from ad
joining States. One lady in particular made
a special display of th“ir jewels. Her dark
hair was rolled and puffed, and fa>rly stud
ded with brilliants. She wor*- ring clusters
outside of her white kids, and gold bracelets
with galaxies of starry gems. On her
bosom she wore a single brilliant valued at
£11."00. This precious gem set again*r a
background us black p tint lace, shone foit >
with the lustre of Venus, as she Sumetirnes
appears through an opening in a heavy
bank of clouds, with a cold, dark sky be
yond. The heavy flounces of her dress
were looped up all around and fastened
with clusters oi the same picuiuuo j.
As she paseed across the room and turned
around, the piercing rays would shoot con
tinually from the dark folds, positively daz
ziing to the eyes of a spectator. The handle
of her fan even glittered with small gems.
A person might have gone behind her in
a crowd and plucked whole fortunes from
her person by handfuls,"
One of the most interesting political con
tests is now in the State of Mis
souri, and its results rr<*miee to be of the
most gratifying character to the conserva
tives of the whole country. The struggle
is confined to the ranks of the Radicals
themselves, who are split up into two fac
tions—one adhering to the old Gorrupt and
prescriuti e policy of the party, while the
other takes ground in favor of liberal and
just reforms, and under the directions of
some of the ablest and most popular leaders,
have more distinct nominations and expect
to elect them, and effect a thorough revolu
tion in the State. They have the sympa
thy and will doubtless receive the aid of
the Conservative party «*f the State, who
have made no nominations of their own.
To thwart this result, President Grant has
brought his official power to bear, and
threatens to displace those federal office
holders who dare to give their support to
the liberal party. This threat has already
been executed in some instances ; but the
effect has been simply to-arouse the indig
nation of these liberal Missourians at this
unwarranted interference, and to make
them more* determined in their efforts.—

Salt—Effect on the Blood.— Dr. Stev
ens, a French physician and surgeon, saw
a butcher killing a pig. He observed that
he stirred the blood of the animal and added
a handful of common salt to it while stir
ring, which immediately made it crimson,
and on the stirring being discontinued the
blood remained fluid. The change of the
color of the blood awnkened his curiosity.
The butcher could give no explanation of
the phenomenon except that it kept it from
jellying and spoiling. Dr. Stevens seized
a vessel, caught som* 1 blood, aud made sev
eral experiments by putting salt in it. nn<l
found that the blackest blood was insta* tiy
changed to a bright vermillion bv sari.
*oh,’ said he, ‘here is a lact which may lead
to a practical rule ’
He observed in cases of yellow fever in
the army that the blood drawn w»s very
black and fluid, and on adding salt it be
came vermillion and retained its freshness,
whereas the putridity of the bio >d was one
of the characteristics of the yeilow fever.
He therefore abandoned ihe usual mode of
treating it and gave his patients a mixture
of salts, and in a vtry rdmrt time reduced
the mortality of fever in «he West Indies
from one in five to one in
A man and his wife were opposing candi
dates for an office in Wyoming, and the
odds seemed to be in favor < f the husband,
but one morning he came down town look
ing weary and sleepy, and formally with
drew fnom the canvass in favor of bis wife,
who was triumphantly elected. They say
she kept him awake seven nights trying to
