Boston papers lament Hon. John D. Long's lack of taste in dress. His hat they aver is always bad, and his clothes never fit and are apt to be of incongruous patterns. If only his dress were equal to his address!

Aunt Jane Walker of Brighton, Me., is a spirited old lady of 73 years. She saw a raccoon a short distance from the house, and as the dog refused to tackle him she armed herself with a club and soon 'polished him off.'

The youngest performer in the London theatres is the infant that takes part in the baby song in the last act of 'My Sweetheart.' It is 18 months old, and is the fourteenth child of a working gunmaker in Edinburg. It is put to bed every afternoon at 4, is brought to the theatre at 9, and is in bed again half an hour later - earning for this duty, it is said, more than its father.

A gentleman walked into the dining-room of one of the Boston clubs in the early part of last week, and, there being twelve at table, he refused to make the thirteenth, having some scruples on the subject. He was the subject of some pleasant bantering upon the superstition, which he accepted in good part. He took his dinner at a side table, and later in the evening drew up to the main table. Of all the gentleman present be apparently had the strongest hold on life. Two days later he died without warning.

A STORY OF A KING IN A TRAP - (Charles II and Edward Hyde)

AROUND PERUGIA - A Hilly Country, Honeycombed With Etruscan Burial Vaults
The old town of Perugia is well worth visiting on many accounts, writes a correspondent of the Journal of Commerce. Traveling by rail from Rome to Florence one sees large clusters of houses perched high on the hillside. They are crowned with campaniles and domes, surround by high walls, and provoke one's curiosity to make their closer acquaintance. But on consulting his guide-book the tourist finds that these elevated settlements contain a few objects of interest, better examples of which can be found elsewhere. He also learns which is as much to the purpose, that they have no good hotels. Now, Perugia is very old, very quaint, full of venerable historical associations, a center of Etruscan tombs and other antiquities, 1700 feet above the sea, and has a first-class hotel. This modern structure occupies the highest ground of the town, and commands a magnificent view of the Umbrian Valley. East, south, and west I survey all the details of a landscape of variety and beauty unsurpassed. It is intersected by the Tiber and some smaller rivers, which flash in the morning sun. Many villages are visible as brown patches, among them Assisi, famous as the birthplace of St. Francis. Mountains bound the view on all sides. Some of them are still tipped with snow, and their summits would easily be mistaken for clouds, if the latter were not scurrying past in the south wind. This wind will soon melt the snow, and is already making Perugia uncomfortable. As I write a haze is beginning to blot out the more distant villages. A heated term is threatening. But Americans are not to be frightened by that. Only I wish the roads were not so white and dusty.
This country is a vast cemetery. No one can say how many races were buried here before the Etruscans passed --- in their turn and left the ground honeycombed with their tombs. When one sinks a well or digs a cellar for a house she is apt to strike his spade against a rock, which gives back a hollow sound. It is the roof of an Etruscan burial vault. From this subterranean chamber the air has been excluded for more than two thousand years. I am told that strange things are sometimes been in these tombs at the moment when they are opened and then vanish forever. They say that glimpses are caught of old Etruscan lords and ladies sitting at banquets, and that these disappear the instant the outer air touches them. When the finder proceeds so open and examine the tomb he discovers nothing but a heap of dust in place of the vision that had startled him. These are obviously fables, for the most part. Though I believe that it is true that an Etruscan knight in full armor collapses to dusty nothingness in percisley this way when his tomb was invaded a few years ago. We have been to see the sepulcher of the Volumni, about five miles below Perugia and found it and its contents very strange and interesting. It is supposed to date back to the third century, B. C. A decent of some thirty steps leads down to it from the roadside. First, a chamber about twenty-five feet square is entered, and from this smaller apartments branch to right and left. The sepulcher is hewn out of the tufa rock. It is very damp and cold. Heads of Medusa, dolphins, and serpents are carved with much skill on the top and sides of this tomb. All around stand small stone urns, each one bearing in alto relieve the representation of a fight. One man is always killing another unless the scene is varied by the sacrifice of a bound and helpless woman or child on an altar. The covers of these urns are higher works of art. They are surmounted with recumbent figures of the man and woman. These are dressed in the costume of their age and sex, and each has in his or her hand a bowl for tears. Lifting off a cover I find inside the urn about a hat full of ashes. I run my fingers through this mass and feel fragments of burnt bones. That I am rudely stirring up all that remains of some gallant warrior or some haughty beauty, and I withdraw my hand with a sense of remorse. A great many personal ornaments of exceeding richness and grace have been taken from those receptacle, and are sparsely exhibited by the custodian. But if one wishes to realize the full extent of the arts and sciences familiar to the old Etruscans he should inspect the splendid collection in the university museum at Perugia.

The public passion for novelties has been illustrated lately by a display and sale of grass-grown pottery in one of our Washington Street bric-a-brac shops. The small vases of poxonware are soaked in water and then sprinkled thickly with a peculiar --- of grass seed, which soon sprouts and covers the red earthenware with a green coat. By keeping the vases filled with water the grass remains green for three months. In one wash 200 of these pottery curiosities were sold, and an admitting crowd gathered closely about these living vases in the windows.

Lawyers are not all bad. They have feelings if you can only go deep enough. A lawyer up in the country was called to defend a Mexican for some serious crimes, and he got him off. 'What fee did you get?' somebody asked him. 'Well, the fellow was very grateful - very grateful. After the ---- he came to me and he emptied her pockets. He had $30 and a watch, and a jack-knife.' 'And you - ' 'I took the $20 and the watch. I gave him back the jack-knife. - --- you didn't expect me to rob the poor devil?' - [San Francisco Chronicle]

The Canadians are angry, excited, and furious on the fishery question, and declare and protest that no American shall catch their codfish and mackerel. The St. Louis Republican says, that if all the codfish and mackerel in the Canadian waters were caught and made into one huge fish-ball, the writer would not fire a gun to get it.

It is rumored in Washington that Secretary Lamar will soon resign; that Mrs. Lamar, it is said, is adverse to the gay, social life which a cabinet lady is expected to lead, and according to this report, she has induced Secretary Lamar to retire to private life. It is also reported -----(rest is torn)

--------- use of money has grown to be an avowed and controlling influence. This can not fail to provoke a popular uprising that will retire from places thus unworthily filled all who are suspected of being the willing tools of this official treachery. The American people are patient - too patient at times - but they do not fail in the end to assert their rights. The State Auditor, Mr. Burke, speaks plainly and to the point in his 44th circular to the tax assessors. He justly claims that the high tax rate in this state is attributable mainly to the escape of large amounts of taxable property from assessment and taxation. It is in the power, says he, of the assessors and it is their duty to secure a lower rate by making a full and accurate assessment of all the property in the state at a fair valuation, as they are required by law to do. He further insists that sections 34 and 35, page 34, Revenue Code, must be complied with. Assessments be made as the law directs, and not by copying from the old book of assessment.
I earnestly appeal to you, says he, to make a full and accurate assessment of all property, personal and real, in your county, at its true value, and it will be my unpleasant duty to proceed by law against any Tax-Assessor who fails to do so.
While the above is pointed it is to the purpose and if the assessors and the people will do their duty, our tax rate in a few years will be comparatively low. The people are mistaken if they think that to five in their property at a law valuation will reduce their tax. It takes just so much money to defray the expenses of the government, and if the valuations are low the tax rate will be high; on the other hand; if the valuations are just and fair, the rate of tax will be low. So much tax as is necessary to run the government must be paid anyhow.
And while the law is light on the assessor, it is also light on the tax-payer. The new law provides that no person shall be entitled to any exemption, nor shall any property be exempt from taxation, unless such property is entitle d by the taxpayer upon his assessment list and returned by him, under oath, to the tax-assessor.

COLUMBUS, MISS. Feb 10 - There was a large and enthusiastic railroad meeting at the City Hall this afternoon, of which Col. J. O. BANKS was made chairman, in the interest of the Tombigbee Railroad, which is to run in a northeasterly direction from Columbus, crossing the Kansas City railroad, which will soon be running from Memphis to Birmingham, in a few weeks. The directors of the Tombigbee Railroad are all Columbus men, and are among the wealthiest citizens of the place. They ask only $1,000,000 by private subscription, and will then ask the City of Columbus to give them another $100,000. With this amount they can build the road to the intersection of the Kansas City road, which is twenty-five miles. At the meeting this evening $45,000 was subscribed. No one has doubts but the money will be raised in a day or two, and work will begin shortly. This road will be built by Columbus money and brain.

ANOTHER RAILROAD - Tennessee Valley
In our great enthusiasm over the Rome & Decatur and Aberdeen & Decatur railroads, we together with the community had about lost sight of the proposed line from this place in a south-western direction. But on last Monday Maj. F. C. Gordon the prime mover of all the meat enterprises recently resurrected in Decatur, together with a number of other distinguished gentlemen from this and other places, temporarily organized themselves into the Decatur, South-Western, Mineral & Lumber Railroad Co. The line is backed by some of the largest capitalists in the state, and as to its being built at once there seems to be no doubt.
The line will pass through Morgan County, through Winston, Walker and Tuscaloosa Counties, connecting with the Kansas City and Birmingham road at the point where the Meridian road connect with the same. This will give the most direct route possible from here to New Orleans, but the main object of the road is to get a direct line into the great Warrior coal fields, which this will give. It is an undisputed fact that Decatur is to be the greatest manufacturing city in North Alabama, and the money invested in a road that will bring a profit that nay capitalist would ---- of.
Besides the immense beds of coal and other minerals this line will pass through it will open up the commerce of the country some of the finest forests of timber in the country and will be the direct cause of developing and settling up more thickly to the country through which the road will pass.
Arrangements are being made for the work of surveying the line to commence as soon as possible, and are many months shall have passed by, the pick and the shovel will be at work on the above named railroad, the work to commence at Decatur.

The Church Temperance Society, established five years ago, has now among its Vice-Presidents fifty Bishops. It already has organizations in thirty-five dioceses. It publishes a monthly paper, has created a temperance literature on scriptural principles, has drafted and introduced a new license law for the state of New York, has largely influenced the government of the city of New York in the enforcement of the law' and during the past year has carried on in the same city, in connection with the Sunday evening services, the work of personal rescue and reform. No other fact need given in defense of this movement that n that in our own country $900,000,000 are annually spent for strong drink against $505,000,000 for bread. - [Living Church]

APPALLING FIGURES
That we are a thirsty people is pretty generally submitted, but few suspect just how much fluid, besides water, it takes to keep the throats of our population in a satisfactorily moist condition. The records of the Internal Revenue Bureau throw some light on the question, and being official besides, leave no room for doubt or dispute. If all the beer drank last year by our people was impartially allotted to every man, woman and child in the nation, it would give each one ten and three-quarter gallons. To this must also be added one and one-fifth gallons of spirituous liquors.
But pursuing these figures a little more closely gives us other results worth mentioning. Not every man or every woman drinks beer and whisky, and none of the children. It is safe to assume that one third of our population, or about twenty millions of our citizens, absorb all the strong drinks of the country. This would make the allotment of beer to every drinker at least thirty-two gallons and nearly four gallons of whisky.
But they indulge in other luxuries also. Enough cigars are smoked in the country to give forty-two to every inhabitants besides several cigarettes and three and a quarter pounds of chewing tobacco. It is estimated the cost to the American people of drinking and smoking, if equally distributed among that portion of our population which does drink and smoke, would give an average cost to each of $57, or enough to buy all the food they can consume in a year. The army ration costs the government $35 per annum, and it gives the soldier more than he can eat. In short, the drinking portion of our population consumes enough beer, tobacco, and whisky to buy them food supplies for the entire year.

BULL RUN - The Famous Battlefield as it Appears Today
The first battle of Bull Run stands first in the alphabet of great American battles. Greater battles have been fought hereabouts; a greater battle, indeed, on this same ground. But the first has fastened itself on us. There is a savage fascination about it which --- who lived on that day cannot ---(REST OF THIS LONG PARAGRAPH IS TORN)-----
But this is trenching on history and we must draw the line. You can see where the South retreated to where stood Jackson, 'Like a stone wall.' Back of this house, where the old schoolmaster lives with his oldest sister, about a hundred yards and almost at the top of the gentle sloping hill, on the outer edge of the tall, rank corn, and against a young growth of pines, is the place where Jackson got down to pray. And here is was he sat on his horse, was wounded, held his men in stubborn line that day, while the storm of battle beat against them, and so won his singular name. On the front of this sloping hill that lies here, between this house and the place where Jackson sat on his horse during the battle, the dead --- when the fight was done. The corn is rank and tall. But I do not see, as some pretend to, when looking over the field of Waterloo, that the blood of brave men has put any particular mark of vitality upon it. The truth is, if some one did not point out to you all this you would know nothing whatever of the Battle of Bull Run. Nature covers up all such scars; time heals the wounds on the breast of our common mother, as well as our own. Wander about here for a week, as I have done, and save for the one little brown stone monument here, the old earthworks at Manassas and some scarred old trees I have picked up one bullet and one button from a soldier's coat; that is all. Bu ton the earthworks near Manassas, under a peach tree, while picking up peaches, I found an Indian arrow head. Think of it, and follow these two facts: What other battles, what other races had fought for the fields of Virginia ages and ages before?
Not many people come to visit this battlefield. I have seen a thousand at Waterloo for a single visitor here.
The great trench where the dead were buried on this sloping hill, immediately under where Stonewall Jackson sat his horse during the battle, is still a trench. This is a sore that refuses to heal. It has become a little drain or rivulet. The bones of the dead were mostly taken away at the close of the war, and this opened the trench anew. This portion of the battlefield is a pasture now. A little line of trees has grown along the banks of this trench. Under these rank young trees, a good many sleek spotted cattle stood yesterday chewing the cud and lazily switching flies. You never hear a sound of any kind around here at night, no coming and going of carriages, as at Waterloo and other great battlefields of Europe. The trees are turning a little red in the blush of early autumn. There is a heavy gray atmosphere over all here which makes the stillness seem more still; a weary ghost of the smoke of war. In the corners of the old Virginia, warm fences the wild berry grows rank and red, as if dripping in blood. The very earth is red, as if the bosom of mother earth bleeds perpetually for her --- dead who fell in the battle here---- - [-- Miller in Chicago News]

THE NEWEST PERPETUAL MACHINE
The public has heard so much about vain attempts to discover perpetual motion that the idea of it is looked upon as a chimera. It is no wonder, then, that the 'perpetual motion advertised in big black letters around a tent in the Toronto fair ground failed to attract many visitors. Yet the 'perpetual motion' exhibited is really a good idea whether of much actual utility or not, it may yet be too early to say. The inventor is Mr. Forster, of Guelph. Like many of the greatest discoveries, this is a very simple one. The motive power is simply air, contracted and expanded by the natural variations of temperature. A large cylinder of sheet iron is connected by a tube with a small cylinder with sides of oiled silk, so as to swell or stretch like the side of a pair of bellows. The double air chamber is hermetically sealed. To the upper part of the smaller chamber are attached chains revolving over pulleys, and winding up a spring which furnishes the power for work. Whether the air expands or contracts the winding continues. It is claimed that a daily range of ten degrees will furnish enough power to keep a pendulum going. A greater range will allow of power being retained for use in steady weather.

NOURISHMENT AND FOOD FOR THE SICK
There are several beliefs popularly held concerning the care of sick people, that should long ago have been exploded. One of these is than an invalid will 'relish something right off the table,' better than he will 'sick folks messes.' This may be true in a few rare instance, but the fact remains that the appetite of nearly every convalescent is apt to be tempted by some delicacy prepared expressly for him, rather than by a portion of the food served at the family board. There is something, too, in the thought of the loving consideration that prompted the concoction of the special dainty which lends a flavor not to be imparted to food cooked without particular reference to the one who should occupy, for the time being, the most important position in the house.
Abstain from overloading a patient's plate. This caution is peculiarly necessary with sweets, as a surfelt of those is apt to cause future aversion. - [Christine Terhune Herrick, in Good Housekeeping]

PURE GRIT - Some Experiences of the Seamen of the Confederate Alabama
I was one of the first men who signed papers with the much-vaunted confederate cruiser, the Alabama, and my service in her did not end until she sailed into an English port with the Confederate flag flying. You will thus realize that I participated in the capture of several dozen federal merchandisers, and whalers. There was a sameness about our manner of making captures which we were glad to have broken now and then. It was but rarely that a vessel was overhauled during the night. If we were in chase of her we simply kept her in sight, or tired to, until daylight came. While we could not anticipate any stubborn resistance the right seat of a skipper might, fire a volley into a boat's crew or go to some other uncomfortable extreme. As a rule we had only to close in our victims, fire a solid shot across his course, and he would heave to and put the best face possible on a bad matter. The first lieutenant would be sent off to him with a boat and half a dozen marines, and in the course of half an hour his fate would be decided. If it was thought best to bond him the papers were made out and signed and he was permitted to go his way. If his craft was to be destroyed the men were allowed to bring up their clothing and knick-knacks, the officers to pack their personal effects, and inside of an hour the craft would be ablaze, and we would be sailing away in search of another victim.
When we ran around in search of whalers we came upon a Yankee skipper who didn't know what surrender meant. We were just well to the west of the stormy cape, when, one morning after breakfast, we raised a whaler. He was headed up the coast, and about noon we overhauled him. He paid no attention to the first shot, and it was only when the second one hulled him that he came into the wind. It was then seen that he had fifteen or sixteen men aboard and that all were armed with muskets and meant to defend the ship. The lieutenant was sent off with his boat, but no sooner was he within fair musket range than the whaler opened fire on him, killing one man and wounding two at the first volley. The officer pushed ahead, and demanded a surrender, but he got another volley and the reply that the whaler 'would go to the bottom before he would surrender to a d-rebel.'
The boat was recalled, and our gunners were introduced to hull the whaler with solid shot. We approached him within rifle-range and opened fire. Every one of the balls plumped through his side at and above the water-line, and he answered with his muskets, severely wounding two men. He was repeatedly hailed to surrender, but in reply he encouraged his men to maintain their fire we soon had the sea pouring into his starboard side through a dozen holes, and when it was seen that he would soon go down we ceased firing and again demanded his surrender. I can remember just now how he looked as he sprang upon the rail - tall, gaunt, hair flying and eyes blazing, and shouted in reply:
'The Ben Scott don't surrender! Come and take us - if you can.'
Five minutes later his craft settled down bow first. We lowered the boats to save his crew, and strangely though not a man was lost. When we brought them aboard the Yankee skipper walked up to Semmes, bare-headed, bare-footed, and coatless, and said.
'If I'd only have had one old cannon aboard, we'd have licked ye out of your butes! Here we are, and what are ye going to do with us?'
He was voted a jolly good fellow, and them men were better treated than any other ever forced aboard. In order to give them their liberty the very next capture we made was bonded and they were put aboard to sail for home. - [Detroit Free Press]
