VALUE OF A STILL TONGUE.
IVTen Who Talk Too Much Expose the
Secret * of Their Ititslne-n.
IScipntifl" American.1
An old , experienced Wall street
banker remarked in course of conversa
tion with a reporter on one of our ex
changes , a few days ago , that "a still
tonsiio was often a fortune " The idea
ho wished to convoy was that men who
talked too much expose tho secrets of
their business. A silent man is generally
the safest adviser ; he thinks before
he speaks , and weighs well his words ,
b'omo men are as ready with their opin
ions as a hungry man fort dinner ; all
that is required is the opportunity to
air them. Others are so voluble they
tell all they know about their c\vn busi
ness , and their neislit'ors' as well.
Generally , you can take the measure of
an inveterate talker , as it's wind and
froth. On the other hand , the man
who holds his tongue is not easily
fathomed. "Still water runs deep , "
with but little noise and friction , while
the shallows foam an fret with constant
tumult.
As a rule , the silent man is methodi
cal , painstaking , careful. He weighs
his words and pounds accurately.
In business he makes no fuss
or parade ; ho transacts it , how
ever , with diligence and prudence.
Brag and vanity are twins ; together
thep were born and together they will
die.
' . onceit and toasting are poor ele
ments in trade : airs put on as soon as a
little money is made usually have a
chill. Boasting of big proiits and a
speedy fotuno to every listener shows a
lack of good sense and sound judgment.
Men have been hung on their own testi
mony , and merchants have failed from
too much tongue.
Jo epli Bona > 'irte' UorIe 'own House.
I'l-i ad'ps.x ! ! i rnp < .
On the 3d of January , IS'20 , the man
sion was burned no one knows how
and on that occasion all tho pipes of
wine and casks of Iqiuor in the cellar
were roiled throug.li a passage to tho
creek and saved. Some of Joseph
Bonaparte's fine wines are said to .ba
still in existence in Philadelphia , b'o
popular was the polite ex-king that on
that occasion the ladies of Bordentown
turned put with little else than their hose
and with leather buckets filled with
water mounted ladders and tried to put
out the fire. It was a great loss , for
the grand staircase , the statues , busts
and rare paintings , the heavy chandeliers
and hangings and tapestry fringed
with real gold and silver , were all
destroyed. A well-known Philadelphia
lady , who visited the house , has loft a
record , in which she says-
After we had examined the books ,
the paintings on the walls and many
rich vases which had belonged to Napo
leon , the count touched a secret spring
and several rows of skilfully-painted
book-cases flew open and displayed a
set of drawers. These he opened and
drew out a number of caskets contain
ing splendid jewels of all descriptions.
) everal clusters wore jeweled handles of
twords , other portions ot crowns rudely
broken oT and more the lids of small
boxes. He showed us the crown and
: ings he wore as king of Spain , also tho
2rown , robe and jewels in which Xapo-
leon was crowned. After our eyes
were tired of tho glare of diamonds and
emeralds he touched another spring and
opened another set of drawers , contain
ing some of Xapoleon's most val' able
papers and letters , tied by ribbons and
fastened by jeweled clasps.
"While we were wondering how to
make our exit he approached another
book-case ( the room was lined with
them ) and the whole case flew back ,
forming an entrance into his sleeping
apartment , which consisted of a cham
ber , dress and bathing-room and a small
studio or boudoir. The curtains , canopy
and furniture were of light-blue satin ,
trimmedvlth silver. Over the bed was
a splendid mirror and there were several
others in the room. The walls were
covered with paintings , principally of
young females with less clothing than
seemed comfortable for this cold cli
mate. In every room of the house there
were statues of Xapoleon in different
positions and various sizes. There were
% lso statues of all the members of his
family. "
The Clever Old Plagiarist.
[ Wash-niton Star.1
We are now promised a literary sensa
tion in the shape of a book to show that
Milton stole the idea and to a consider
able extent the phraseology of his three
principle poems , Paradise Lost , Para-
Jise Kegained and Samson Agonistes ,
from Joost van Vondel , an eminent
Dutch roet of his times. It is not un
likely that Milton , who was a universal
scholar , took freely whatever literature
had to offer in the way of materials.
Possibly he was as bare-faced a thief in
ihis field as Shakespeare himself. The
old writers do not seem to have had as
nice a literary conscience as our authors
of to-day.
But one thing is certain : Those old fel-
ows had a way of dressing up their
stolen property the secret of which has
apparently died with them. Lincoln
sighed for a few more generals who
could use whisky like Grant , and mod
ern literature would like another crop
of such plagiarists as Chaucer , Shakes-
jeare and Milton.
TIio Curious Slandiucs.
ii'iazil Ov. New Vor'c San.l
1 he common people of Brazil live on
"erked beef and mandioca. The former
iomes from L'ruguay and Argentine ,
and oO,000 ( ) ( : ) tons are imported every
rear. The mandioca is a curious plant , t
jlending life and death in its elements. !
[ t resembles the sweet potato or yam ,
and if used raw is a deadly poison.
Some years ago thirty-five drops of the
raw juice was administered to a con
demned criminal , and he died in the
most horrible convulsions. The root ia
soiled and then ground to powder , re
sembling buckwheat Hour in appear
ance , in which condition it enters into
: he composition of almost every article
of cooked food used in Br.i il. The
apioca of commerce is made by boiling
he mandioca and then allowing it to
crystallize.
I3r' > ' " . .St.of
According to The Southern Practi
tioner , the City of Mexico , being en
tirely without sewers or drainage , the ,
mortality is at the high rate of oU per . (
1,000 of population annually. In Gu- ' ]
anajuato , a city of 58,000 inhabitants , !
the death rate is said to be T4 per 1,000.
A LITERARY COUP D'ETAT.
Of nil surprises to which the reading public
lias been treated by Mr. Alilen's surprising
Literary Revolution , perhaps the mo t re
markable is tlie last. Two of tlu choicest
and most famous books In modern literature
Washington Irving's "The Sketch Book"
and "Knickerbocker's History of Xew York , "
are just published in style worthy of this
most widely celebrated and universally hon
ored of American authors. The two books
together form one of the nine volumes of his
works also just publisetl. The type is large ,
leaded , beautiful ; the two volumes bound hi
one comprise 00(5 ( pages ; the binding is half
morocco , marbled edges. The only other
edition in the market that at all compares
with this or rivals it , is advertised by the
publisher at 53,00 per volume. Mr. Alilen's
price when sold in sets of nine volumes , is a
little less than § 1,00 per volume. He now of
fers this single specimen volume until Sep
tember 1,1SSG , for the price ( if it can be call
ed a price ) of 50 cents , by mail , postage paid.
This offer is without restrict ion or condition ;
if there are a hundred thousand , or half a
million of those who take pleasure in the
works of Washington Irving , who want the
volume , he says he will lill their orders as
fabt as his printers and binders can turn them
out. If you want to complete your set after
you have received this volume , you can , of
course do so by paying the additional price
for the set. The Object of this extraordinary
"Coup D'Etat" is of course , advertising ; ex
cept for this consideration the price would
be ridiculous and ruinous. 3Ir. Aldcn sends
his complete condensed catalogue of standard
bdblcs free to any applicant , or his illiibtrated
catalogue , 132 pages , for four cents. Address ,

THE clergy , who are often disposed
to be facetious over the know-it all as
sumption of editors , are now telling i
their hearers "how to make banks safe. "
They are , as a rule , better authority on
treasures laid upin heaven than on lucre
locked up in a vault.
