He thinks that there is much to be paid
for rare china and curious beetles, be
cause the china is sometimes beautiful
and the beetles are droll; but rare
books are commonly, by the nature of
the case, worthless books, their rarity
consisting cither in some printer's blun

Mr. .Toaquin Miller gives, in the
Independent, the following as his idea
of a poem : To me a poem must be
a picture; and it must be a picture, if :t
good poem, so simple that I can under
stand it at a glance, and sec it and re
member it, as I would sec and remem
ber a sunset. I also demand that it
shall be loft' in fentiment and sublime
in expression. The only rule I have
for measuring the merits of a written
poem is by the hold that it takes on my
mind and memory. I do not want to
remember the words, but I do demand
that it remain with me a picture and
become a part of my existence." Ir.
Miller cites "Evangeline" as answer
ing his requirement, being a succession

The Presbyterian General Assembly
at Saratoga took strong ground against
theaters and operas. It formally con
demned attendance on them as incon

not only gives countenance and support

morality, but is in itself spiritually hurt
ful, and tends to obliterate the line
which should always be plainly visible
between tho followers of Christ and the

IHSIXKT.CTINTS AM) IiKOPOniNTS
Mons than half thee agents are valueless
In pi eventing disease, and dangerous us ho
ing productive of fuNu security.
Meat and pure air are the best of nil disin
fectants. Where other agents nre necessary,
the lollowing list will he found useful:
Copperas can hcTuscd almost anywhere,
cheap and efficient. Especially useful in
privies, etc. Ten pounds in a pailful ol wa
ter; a tencupful in bed-pan, chambers, etc,
alter being used. A quart n. day in privies,
urinals, etc., for ordinary purposes. In dan
gerous diseases, add from a pint to n quart
to each discharge. The contents of a privv
six. feet In diameter and twelve feet deep, will
require twenty pounds of copperas to disin
fect it.
Quicklime and gypsuin or land plaster arc
good absorbents and may be ued advanta
geously in damp places, cellars, gutters, etc.
Tney should not, however, be used In drain,
catch-lmins, sewers, soil-pipes, etc, nor
where they are liable to he washed into such
places ht they, by decomposing soap-wa-ter.form
llnie-soap and obstruct the passages.
Charcoal is one of the best deodorants, ab
sorbing largu volumes of gases. May be used
In powder, mixed with lime orgypnmnnd
sprinkled ficely in malodorous localities,
suspended In u basket, in cisterns, meat
safes, dairies, etc.. It tends to keep the con
tents from absorbing foul odors. Charcoal
should be frequently reheated to drive on" the
absorbed gaes nnd renew it efticiency.
Carbolic acid and the coal-tar disinfectants
are only admissible for out-door use, on ne
count of their odor. Mixed with gypsum,
they are valuable around stables, out-buildings,
etc A gill of carbolic acid in a pailful
of water may be used to tluh sewers, drains,
etc., and in privy-vaults and cntch-balns.
Chloride of lime is sufficiently well known
not to need special mention here, except to
say that Its value is greatly overrated. The
addition of stmng vinegar or dilute sulphuric
acid (oil of vitriol) materially increases its
elllciency.
Chloride of zinc may be used Instead of
copperas, and has the "advantage of neither
bleaching nor staining white or colored
fabric with which it may come in contact.
On thi account it is especially useful in dis
infecting clothing, bedding, etc
Of tlie large number of proprietary prep
arations sold for disinfecting purposes, It i
not necessary to treat in this connection. If
further information is needed, consult your
sanitary officer or family physician.
IN OKSKRAU
Should disease, however. In spite of every
reasonable care, break out In your midst, al
lay fear and prevent panic, which is always
swnsoless demoralizing the well and Jeopar
dizing, to an Incalculable extent, the lives of
hose who may fall sick. "In a sick-room,
there should be wise heads, willing hands aud
loving hearts in the attendants, and thankful
submission, with common sense, In tho pa
tient." The following general directions are useful
in contagious or infectious diseases:
First The sick person should be restricted
to one room, or a part of the house separated
from the. other inmates.
Second Secure proper ventilation of the
sick-room without producing draughts. tntll
is an excellent guide as to state of air; if air
is iirett there is but little dread to be felt.
Third The virulence of any poison which
causes the spread of disease Is greatly in
creased by eon.eentrati.on In close rooms, and
decreased by dilution and free circulation of
air.
Fourth The linen, clothing, bedding, uten
sils, and every object touched bv or In con
tact xvith the sick, should be isolated, and.
such as will permit, should be thrown Into
boiling water.there to remain for at least hall
an hour.
Fifth The nurse should be restricted to the
sick-room or otherwise isolated.
Sixth Remember that disease is communi
cated by both the poisoned air about the sick,
by the clothes and other articles used or
tonched by them.
Seventh After the patient leave the sick
room it should be purified and disinfected.
Boil everr thing that will admit of it; scald
all utensils: scrub the floors; whitewash ceil
ing and walls. Empty the room entirely, and
leave doors and windows open for at least a
day or two.
In conclusion we would advise, whereprac
tlcable, the formation of associations for
sanitary protection, such as are now in success
ful operation in Edinburgh, and in Newport,
R.I. A trilling yearly subscription entitles
each member to the valuable services ot a
skilled sanitary engineer and sanitary In
spector, whose, advice enables him to carry
out all improved methods of sanitation they
may suggest.

The Death or the Prince Imperial.
A mournful intercut i attached to the
pendinp Zulu war by the new of the
death of the yonng Prince Npolcon at
the hands of the snvngca. It appear?
that he went out with a aooutinz party,
and that, while resting, they were .ur
pricd by the Zulu a fatality which
eecms to continually follow the Kngl.b.
The party sprang to their horcs, and
succeeded in escaping, with the excep
tion of the Prince, wboe horse got away
from him. He then started on the run,
but was speedily overtaken and .slain
with the murderous a.sega pierced
with no Iea than seventeen wound
The events of hU life are very brief. He
w.v born in the Tuilene., March 16,
IS'i. His education was a very thor
ough one. and at the ontbreak'of the
Franco German war he accompanied his
father to Metz, and thence toSaarbruck,
where, as Napoleon telegraphed to Ku
genie, he received a baptism of fire.
Shortly af'erwards he joined h'u mother
in Kngland, and has remained with her
until recently, when he obtained per
mission from the Kngli.h Government
to accompany the army in its South
African campaign, where the baptism
of fire ha-s. overwhelmed him, and ended
his ambitious career in the very llowcr
ol hi3 youth.
The death of the young Prince re
moves one of the most formidable of
the Honapartist claimants to the throne.
Bv the decree of lfeOt, Napoleon 1. left
the throne to the descendants of Louis,
the tnird brother, and fither of Napo
leon III. The son of Napoleon I., Na
poleon Joseph, died chtldluss, and in
deed his claim was never recognized.
Joseph, the eldest brother, renounced
his claim, and the decree to which we
have alluded baned out Lucicn and his
family. Ioui3 died in 1KJ, and tie
throne descended to the only surviving
son, Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III.),
who mariied the beautiful and ill fated
Spanish Princess Kugenie Marie de
Montijo in 1851. His two brothers, Na
poleon Charles nnd Napoleon Louis,
died respectively in 1H)7 and
l.s:il. Ily this "marriage he had
one son, Iovis Napoleon, who
has now fallen a victim to the Zulu
savages. Hy his death the lineal claim
now reverts to the family of Jerome,
the youngest brother of "Napoleon 1.,
who married Kli.abcth Patterson of
Baltimore, Mil., recently deceased. If
this marriage had been recognized in
France his American children woind
now be on the direct line, but as it i.s,
the descendants of the second marriage
are in the succession. The claimant
now h Napoleon Jerome, bettor known
as Plon-Plon, who married a daughter
of Victor Emmanuel, and after him his
two sons, Napoleon Victor, born in
1SH2, and Napoleon Louis, Inrn in ISGt
Whatever sympathies the Republicans
of France nmv have on personal
grounds for his mother, there will un
doubtedly be a feeling of relief on po
litical grounds that the most powerful
lionaparlist claimant is no more.
For the unfortunate Princess, now en
tering into the shadows of life, bereft, of
her only child upon whom she fondly
hoped to lean in hor declining year.,
there will bo n widespread feeling of
sympathy. Her eventful life has closed
with a catastrophe whicli it is no won
der has made her reason totter. She
has been a woman of wonderful beauty
and grace and possessed of rare accom
plishments. At the French Court she
was the center of a coterie of some of the
most brilliant women who have ever ap
peared in tho French salons. She has
been noted, however, not alone for her
beauty and for her brilliancy with which
she invested her Court, but also for her
works of charity and for the encour
agement she has bestowed upon various
societies of science and art. Her mis
fortune began with tho downfall of her
husband at Sedan, when she escaped in
disguise from the mob which had invaded
the Tuileries. The next blow was the
death of her husband, and now the news
of the death of her only child has been
brought to her in her retirement at
Chiselhurst. It is a sad end of a life of
splendor, and in her great bereavement
she will receive universal sympathy.

A Had Man Turned Loose
A Virginia gentleman, just up from
San Francisco, confided some his ex
periences to a Chronicle reporter yester
day. While at the Bay ho stopped at
tho Palace Hotel and made a practice
of dropping into the bar-room of that
establishment of an evening, it being a
retired and rather high-toned place.
On Wednesday evening last the Com
stockcr lounged into tho bar-room and
was pleased to behold there as the only
occupants Senator Sharon, Seth Cook,
Tom Sunderland and a few other his
toric capitalists, sitting at a large round
table.in the center of which stood sundry
bottles bearing the mystical word
" Roederer." Presently a middle-aged
man, soberly tlressed in black broad
cloth, and wearing a plug hat, stagger
ed in from the hallway, and lurching
up to the bar, yelled for every body to
come up aud have something to drink.
Tho Sharon-Cook oarty paid no atten
tion to the boisterous new arrival, but
quietly went on with their gossip and
Roederer. Giving a furious whoop and
smashing his tilo down on his head, the
stranger performed a war-dance to the
middle of the room and declared him
self. He was a bad man, he said, and
always made it a practice to strew upon
the floor the bowels of any person who
declined to drink upon his invitation.
To point his remarks the stranger
wound up by drawing an IS inch Arkan
sas toothpick from the back of his col
lar and advanced upon the table. There
was a stampede. When tho Virginian
peeped up from behind the bar, to
which position he had. quictpy and calm
ly walked at the beginnig of the trouble,
he perceived that Sharon and his friends
had gone out and that a policeman was
lugging the warlike stranger out of the
place.
" Who is he?" asked the Virginia
man of the bar-keeper.
" Oh, he's a good enough man when
he isn't in liquor," replied the man of
drinks, nervously polishing the rose
wood bar with a towel. " He wa3 one
of the quietest men I ever saw when he
first came hero about two days ago, but
he's bad when he's full."
" From Bodie, I suppose?" suggested
the Virginian.
" Bodie? Not much. He's from Bos
ton. He belongs to that Sunday-school
excursion party." Ftrtrita (A'er.)

--It is said that the suite of the Ger
man Empress (who is no friend of Bis
marck) during their recent stay in Eng
land made unpleasant remarks about the
great Chancellor. They described him
as declining in reputation and rapidly
decaying in physique. Corpulence is
rendering his huge form more unwieldy
than ever; puny and unhealthy is the
look of his flesh; no Kissingen can avail
against that enormons appetite, which
consumes largely of every thing, but
especially of bread, and cheese, and
beer.

Apartyof lfi nurveyors, in the em
ploy of the Government, ender com
mand of MaJ. Mcdary, left this ctty a
ihort time ago, sat the Trinidad .Vcmm,
for a tour eav.wanl to the Indian Ter
ritory line. Nothing more would havo
been thought c f the party, but for tho
arrival in this city jotcrday of Mr
Havcnner and a companion, who U
longed to tkc corps who rcKrted the
horrible fate of two of thetr companion
and the narrow ocaoc of three other.
The circumstance of the case are about
a.s follows
After leaving Triuidid the company
proceeded eastward, ani wore vxm at
work locating town-hips On the morn
ing of Thursday, the 5th inst , a qaad
of fivo men was pent out front a p int
n Wiltnw Cn-ck to run a transit duo
I north lri miles, uitb orders to J'in the
camp at nightfall The men ior:orni

The surveyors stat ltd eit from sheir
objective point and af-er walking i
mile, made eiiiii). In iroini in this
I direction thev made a grunt
mitake; for they should have
gone due wet after lin'.sbing their work
in order to find the camp wagons
Comprehending their mblak', and be
ing very thirsty and out of provisions,
it was proposed to travel south in hope?
of striking the creek. Two of the party
rcf jsed to do this, preferring to remain
where they were, hoping that the camp
ing outfit would come up to them in a
few hours. Friday morning the three,
headed by Mr. Sheets, started for Cartso
Springs. They lost their way, and
wou'd have perished but for the timely
arrival on Monday of men from the
camp, who were in search of them.
The search for the other two (whose
names were S. M. Winchester and Wil
liam Johnson) was continued with an
interest bordering on frenzy. Not until
Monday, the 'Jth, did the searchers got
any clew of the missing men. About 2
o'clock p. m on that day they came up
on poor Winchester out upoti the open
plaias; but he was too far gone to be
saved. A few drops of water were given
him, but in fivo minutes ho was a corpse,
dying in the arms of a companion, who
had arrived too late.
Further search was made for Johnson.
A large rock, which towered up grand
ly on the boundless plains, was viMted,
and there, in a crevice, was found a
note from Winchester, dated the 7th,
saying that Johnson and ho were lost,
but had made up their minds to yo
south in the hope of striking the Wil
low. The noti was writ'.eii in a firm
hand and showed that the writer w:n in
his right mind. Tho diligent searchers
started south, and after traveling ix
miles were rewarded by finding a can
teen belonging to Johnson. For ttiree
days more they scoured tiie prairies on
horseback in every direction, anil on
Thursday, tho 12th, gave up tVo search,
unsuccesful in finding tho uuforl'-natu
man. The coyote has probably found
him, and oro this has devoured all tout
remained of aor.ee bright and promis
ing young man. Winchester waslaken
up to camp and buried be-iide a .spring
of cool water and his grave marked
He was from Baltimore, Maryland, was
about 28 years old, and is said to have
been the son of wealthy parent.. In
two months he was t have hfcunu the
possessor of ."0,U0.) from an ostato. He
was a very brilliant young man and uni
versally boioved by his aeipriuitaue .s
Johnson was 27 years of age, a native
of Baltimore, but has been in thu West
som-i tune. His fate is a sad one, and
his loss is deeply regretted by every one
fainili.tr with the hardships of Western
life.
Weston the Winner.
Tho dark cloud that has so long hung
over tho professional career of Edward
Payson We-ton, thu pedestrian, has at
last rolled away, ami once more he
stands under tho bright sunlight of pub
lic approbation. Thirteen years ago,
when ho undertook the task of walking
from Portland, Me., to Chicago, and
accomplished the feat, ho wa.s tho hero
of the times. Since then he has engag
ed in many pedestrian contests, and
gradually fallen behind the newer can
didates for public favor in this particu
lar line of sports, until, finally.his name
was a by-word with sporting men, ami
he himself the laughing-stock of Ameri
ca. Whether in Chicago, New York,
London, or other great cities where
Weston has entered in walking matches
during the past few years, ho has suf
fered defeat, and when it wax made
public that he was to contest, with sev
eral noted pedestrians, tho match which
ended in London yesterday, there was a
great deal of amusement manifested
amongst sporting men, and the general
belief as to his chances of success was
manifested in the tremendous odds of
fered against him, which very few were
courageous enough to ac-opi. But
Weston ha3 redeemed himself, his
record, and the pedestrian interests of
his country. He has accomplished an
unprecedented task, and to-day stands
on the very pinnacle of pedestrian fame.
Covering a distance of 550 miles in six
days, he has beaten the former record
of "Brown, tho only competitor who held
out against him to the end in the con
test, and accomplished what no other
pedestrian has, and demonstrated more
fully and forcibly than heretofore the
remarkable "staying" qualities which
he was known to possess. The United
States have won glory enough in the
sporting world for one season. With
the unparalleled performances of Parole
on the turf, and the wonderful achieve
ment of Weston, the Englishmen have
beyond doubt lost enough prestige and
money to satisfy their ambitions in these
directions, and, more than all, con
vinced themselves that there is no use
contesting against American bipeds or
quadrupeds. Chicago Tribune.
Mary Anderson's Mare.
The Louisville Post ami News has tho
following: Mr. J. R. Middleton, of S.
Barker & Co., has sold, through Messrs
Ireland & Co., to Miss Mary Anderson,
the actress, his magnificent marc,
"Maggie Logan," the dispatch closing
the trade having been received las:
evening. The mare will be shipped to
Long Branch this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The price is kept a secret, as Mr. Mid
dleton says it was a very large one, a
fancy price, but the animal is the finest
of her class, I believe, in the world "
She was brought out this morning and
exhibited before the Post ami Socs man,
and certainly a handsomer animal he
never saw. She is over 16 hands high,
a rich dark bay in color, with three
white points and a white snip. She is
just 6 years old, and was bred by a 3Ir.
Faut of Warren County. Her sire wa3
Hunter's Lexington, a famous thorough
bred, and her dam was an Altoff mare.
She is perfectly trained to every saddle
gait, and last year was driven a mile to
a buggy by a lady in 3 :10. She has
been shown against large entries at fairs
20 times; on 19 occasions she carried
off the bice ribbon, and took the second
premium the remaining one time.
Miss Anderson and her mare, when
they appear together at Long Branch,
will create a sensation without doubt.

mere seeing of the mark was somewhat
of a feat, but to see and hit as well was
something entirely beyond the common.
Vet it was done at a certain hour pre

Out .Niagara A French Ladj's Aw
fill Death.
Niaoaua Falls, June 21. Our citi
zens were horrified to-day by the enact
ment of one of those terrible tragedies,
the list of which has already reached a
fearful length. Another victim to the
Falls was added. This time the unfor
tunate being was a woman, and the
circumstances of the cse show it to be
one of the most pitiable that has over
yet occurred. The lady met her death
purely by accident, and right before the
eyes of a loving huabind she was swept
on to her fearful death. Mr A. RoIIand
