But the editor was capable of doing more than that—he dared To beard the lion in hie den, The Douglas in his hall. Taking a proof-sheet of the article, in which he indicated the course he in tended to pursue, he called on Mr. Web ster. The great man read the article and flew into a passion, Ha ordered the editor out of has house, but the com mand was not heeded. Waiting for Mr. Webster to become calmer, Mr. Hough ton set forth the political situation. “Youcannot be President, Mr. Web ster,’’ he said, with editorial plainness of speech; “but you can have an office qiSte as important and honorable; you can be Secretary of State. You know how it will irritate your friends in Bos ton. I do not ask you to say to them that you approve of it, nor that you dis approve of it. I merely ask you to say nothing,” These were brave words to speak to Daniel Webster, for he was then the dictator of Massachusetts politics. But '■SOXE SNAKE STORIES.

Oh, you wretch ! You mean, horrid, insignificant—oh-h !” “My dear madam,” he said, “you are right. I’m not fit to run a paper.

In Chicago it has been com monly reported that it is the almost- general practice there to mix stearins with commercial lard for the purpose of hardening it. Spices also are largely adulterated; their character easily per mitting unscrupulous manufacture and handling. Of twenty-seven samples of mustard, carefully selected in New York from responsible dealers, Dr. Smart found that only six were entirely pure. It is consoling, however, to be told that adulterations in this country “ seldom take a form that is dangerous to health. ” j However this may be, there are possibil ities of such a peril wherever adultera tions are resorted to. A purchaser who | pays for a pure article and does not get: what it is guaranteed to be should have some stringent power of redress, and this is what the English law and what the law just passed in New York unde?-. take to give, besides affording inciden tal protection to the publio by author-; izing a rigid system of inspection.—Bak* timore Sun. Thus the great man, heeding the edi tor’s- frank suggestion, took himself out of the way. He became Secretary of State, and thereby was enabled to do his most serviceable act to the republic, the negotiation of the Ashburton Treaty. NICE EXPERIMENT FOR YOUNG FOLKS.

JOHNSON • ir CO., Doston, Muss, formerly Ranger,.Me, wedk, ‘Witii muen local and collateral detail:.. A boa-constrictor woke up hun gry from a three months’ nap and caught a rabbit, which he bolted whole in the usual way. This did not satisfy the-cravings of his capacious stomach, 50 he w;ent afield in search of further victuals, and presently he came to a fence, wTlich he essayed to get through. ►But the lump caused by the defunct though undigested bunny stopped him, when his head and a few feet only of his body had passed between the rails; and, lying in this attitude, he caught and swallowed another rabbit which had in- ca'atiously ventured within his narrow sphere of action. Now, what was the state of affairs ? He could neither go ahead or astern through the fence, being jammed by his fore and aft inside pass engers, and in this embarrassing posi tion be was slain with ease.—London Field. It is now that the young base-ball player imagines that there is no future for him, because he is kept home from a match to rake up the garden-rubbish and get ready for a digging-bee.

T • the lower end' of | the tube, looking at your hand with the left while your right eye is fixed on something through the tube. If you hit the right position, which you can do, putting the edge of the hand against, not over, the lower end of the tube, you will be surprised to see very clearly, tho things beyond. It is a very easy, but most surprising little experiment, and will please old as well as young people. You will, of course, wish to know why this is so, why there seems to be a holo where there is none. Tiio scientific journals are talking about this, but their explanations would hardly suit young sters. We usually look at the same thing with two eyes, and the two images make one in our mind. Her© we sep arate the two eyes in an unusual man ner, and the mind brings together the circle made by the tube for one eye and the hand seen by the other, and makes one of them. You can vary this in sev. eral ways. If, when looking through the hole in the hand, you stretch out tho left thumb so that it will be seen by the right eye through the tube, the thumb will appear to be directly across the hole in your hand. Instead of look ing at your hand, use a card; make a black spot on the card as big as a half- I dime, and look at it as before; the black j spot will appear to be floating in the I center of the hole, with nothing to hold | it there. Another variation is to make j a round hole in the card of the size of the I half-dime ; look at this hole with the left I eye, so that the real hole will be in the j imaginary hole ; the hole will appear ex- eeedingly bright, and surrounded by a ling of shadow.
