AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF ITS REMARKABLE PROPERTIES. Aa Malleable as Gold or Silver and More Darable Ite Value In the Ace of Elec tricity Itesistance to Corrosion Strong er Than Steel. Of course the reader readily understands that aluminium does not occur in nature in a metallic form, and the great secret is to iso late it from the sulistances with which it ap pears and reduce it to the metallic state. The word moans the metal of clay. As a fact, lion over, clay soil conies from the metal base, not tbe metal from tho soil. Combined with oxygen, in one form or another, it forma mountain masses and is the liasoof a vast amount of common earths. By the action of air and water the aluminium compound is de compose, tho alkali washed away and clay soil is Uf L We have then to consider the sur face of tbe tillable earth as very largely the result of the decomposition of this metal, leaving a porous substance, which we culti vate find in which we grow our vegetable pro ducts. The conijxMind forms of aluminium are- for from uniform, and include mica, feld Rlior, porphyry, ruby, sapphire, garnet, tur quoise, beauxite and cryolite. The last two compounds are commonly those used for ex tracting tho pure metal. But in America cor undum, which is found in North Carolina, is and probably will be the main source of supply. Of courso the general reader, whatever bis Interest in this remarkable substance, will not understand the chemical processes of ex traction. It is far more interesting to learn as much as possible of its physical properties. Its color is a beautiful silvery white, with a very slight bluitth tint When cut it resembles a piece of tin freshly cut. It is odorless and tasteless when absolutely pure. It is fully as malleable as gold and silver, and can be beaten into leaves that can be used as silver and gold leaf are; they are, however, far more durable. It can lw drawn out into exceedingly fine wire. Its elasticity is that of silver, and its tenacity the same, but by hammering it be comes as hard as iron and as elastic. A bar three feet long and a quarter of an inch square, subjected to tests, was found to have a tensile strength of twelve tons to the square inch. Taking its strength in relation to its weight, it compares with steel of thirty-five tons per square inch tensile strength. OTHER PROPERTIES. Aluminium is also remarkably sonorous; k that when a bar in susjieusion is struck it gives a sound of a crystal bell. It melts at a temperature higher than zinc and lower than silver, and is therefore to bo ranked as easily fusible. At any temperature whatever it re mains fixed; that is, it loses none of its weight. It conducts electricity with great facility eight times better than iron and twice better than copper. It also ranks very high, better than copper and silver, as a conductor of beat These facts suggest the possiblo and praliable value of aluminium in the age of electricity its value in connection with our new motor. But still more remarkable are the proper ties of this metal in resisting corrosion. The air has no effect on it whatever, whether moist or dry; neither hare sulphur fumes. Nor does pure oxygen affect it, whether cold or hot, although if brought into a white beat it burns, producing a strong light Neither has water power to corrode it at any ordi nary heat, but at 100 deg. it slowly decom poses the water. It is equally true that such destructive gases as sulphuretted hydrogen do not affect it; and the acids, such as sul phuric and nitric, do not affect aluminium to any perceptible degree, and hydrochloric acid acts very slowly on the pure metal This i why it was used for tho peak of the Wash ington monument, being incorrodible prac tically where other metals would bo eaten up by the atmosphere and rains. COItRODED Iir ALKALIES. But alkalies, on tho contrary, as potash, soda and lime, act on aluminium very easily, driving off the hydrogen and leaving a cal cium or other cotnpond. So, also, chlorine, iodine, bromine and fluorine attack the metal at once and break it up rapidly. Its power to resist acids makes it exceedingly useful in diseast where tubes of metal must bo used, since sweat and purulent matter cannot alter it Such is the nature of this metal of the future, sketched as well as may bo without introducing technical language. Tho world contains a thousand times as much of it as it does of iron. Its strength surpasses both iron and steel, while it is almost absolutely incor rodible. Glass, acids, air and water do not tarnish it; nor does heat change its weight or color. It is the best known conductor of heat and electricity. It is lighter than some of our hardest woods, and is worked with great ease. In tho words of a leading scien tist: "It is tho lightest, easiest worked, btrongest, moct durable and generally most voluoblo of all metals; and the man who in vents a method of making it cheaply will re volutionize industry." It is not easy to imagine the universal and sweeping influence of the introduction of two such metals as aluminium and malleable glass into our in dustrial economy in a single generation. Globe-Democrat OVER THE RIO GRANDE. Tbe Old Adobe Town or Paso Del Xorte. Scenes Along the Kallroad. Crossing the iron bridge over tho Rio Grande the first place is Paso Del Norte, a Mexican town of about 0,000 inhabitants. It is an old adobe town, embowered in trees and vines. As we passed rapidly through its dusty streets and glided by its gay bouses surrounded by high adobe walls, beautiful gardens, rich with flowers and trees of mag nificent foliage, were to be seen on either bide. Here and there a picturesque group of natives, clad in cotton tJiirts and pants, their beads shaded by straw sombreros of huge di mensions, were at work in the fields or idling beneath tho shade of magnificent trees. Again they were to bo seen tramping behind the itient burro, or riding tliat useful ani mal through the dusty streets. It is a comi cal sight to see a little, dusky, long eared ani mal carrying a native whoso feet are hanging within a foot or so of mother earth; or pack ing a load of wood or hay so large that one can only see a hoad decorated with a pair of long ears, four feet in rapid motion and a tail wagging as if it expressed naught but pleasure and contentment In the doors and windows now and then we caught a glimpse of a senorita, who favored us with a glance from a pair of sparkling eyes. Little liare legged urchins seemed to bo plentiful, and as they ran out in the dust to view tho train or stood clinging timidly to their mother's skirts we could not help wondering what their ideas of the iron horse were and what changes American capi tal and energy would make in their land ere they passed the line that divides childhood and manhood. Paso Del Norto lies iu a beautiful valley and the surrounding mount ains standing with the shadows of the setting sun upon them, enhanced the scene by their picturesqueness. In a few moments we ar rived at the Mexican Central station, a fine adobe structure with an open court, in the center of which were magnificent tropical plants and flowers. There aro ample veran das on all sides, on which open ofilces, waiting rooms and a restaurant After partaking of a good supper we attended to our baggage. Tbe custom officers examined it and placed a card on every article, which permitted it to enter the republic. The' were very courte ous and by no means prying in their examin ation. Leaving Paso Del Norte we pass through the country south, along valleys surrounded by low moimtaiu ranges and through the rich pastures of San Juan, Encinales and Sauz. Each little station pours forth its crowd of dusky inhabitants, and although we hear the click of the telegraph and bee the well known sign of Wells-Fargo, we look in vain for the enterprising American. Venders of fruit, candies, milk, chocolate and bread cry their goods upon each side of us wherever we made a stoppage. The country is a pastoral one on an enormous scale. Many thousands of cattle are grazing near tbe track and their trails run in all directions. As there are no fences we of ten bear tbe sharp toot of the whistle, and as we crane our necks out of the window we see cattle and other animals Tampering away from tbe train. Night ap proaching we withdrew from the windows, ad after whiling away a few hours card playing, singing, etc, we retired to our com fortable berths. Cor. San Francisco Chroui els. Xrlasanka of "Modem Joeraallsaa." The extraordinary disproportion constantly existing between the importance of a topic and the space devoted to it must strike every newspaper reader of ordinary intelligence It is not so much that grayer subjects are alto gether neglected, as that frivolous, stupid or objectional themes aro thrust into absurd prominence by the side of .affairs of weighti est moment This deplorable tendency is ob servable even in such expensive luxuries as cable dispatches not the sham messages manifestly concocted in this city, but those which bear internal evidence of genuineness and which cost money. A cable dispatch in a New York newspaper often reads like a page from a London society journal the emptiest and most contemptible of periodical publications. In tbe treatment of domestic news the same want of propor tion, tho same downward tendency is ob servable. The space occupied by trivialities and indecencies is preposterous. Whole col umns aro devoted to tbe vulgar horrors of tbe police court, tho sayings and doings of prize fighters, tho junketings of the lowest order of politicians, tbo drunken frolics of some worthless broker, the adventures of a miserable variety actress, tho elopement of a stableman, dog fights, cock fights and every other kind of low vice and profligacy. And day by day tho offense grows ranker. Only a short time ago no neivspajwr with the slightest pretense to respectability would have dared to print a lino of the impurity with which, in these later days, whole pages are defiled. The editors have even crossed tbe sea in search of abominations greater than any yet exposed in our own courts of justice, and have published the details here, poisoning tho moral atmosphere of tbe whole country. New York Critic. A Alahnlfl of OnM-lt-. c a m-.;- t-;. ,.-.....t.- - -. London Times, whose recent announcement of aRusso-Germon aUiance against Franco and Austria has been attracting the notice of all Europe, is a remarkable individual Iu personal appearance he is a mere globule of obesity. From pole to pole, or rather from poll to sole, he measures about five feet three inches, with an equatorial abdominal diame- Tn?mmthini!t for tt ww His age is apparently in the neighborhood of 60. His oral English is very imperfect He constantly drops into French by way of refuge from the intricacies of the Anglo Saxon tongue, and is apparently more famil iar with German than with either. He is by birth a Pole. Though be writes English more fluently than be speaks it, most of his matter is "corrected for style" by a competent subor dinate. All his manuscript, even to notes of j invitation and reply, is turned off upon an ' American typewriter. Ho lives in a small entresol, or first flight fiat, of which the only other occupants besides the servants are his wife and a very fat poodle, decrepit with age. Consumed with inordinate vanity is M. de Blowitr.no possible flattery upon his secret, power as a mover of states andempires being 1 too gi oss for his ears. His value is estimated by Tho Times upon a pecuniary basis of $12,- 000 annually, with a coupe at his disposal and a liberal allowance for expenses. The Argo naut California Coolies' Lodging House. One of the lodging houses, which holds nearly 1,000 persons, may be taken as a fair specimen of the coolie's way of life. Tho i building, which was originally a four story structure, has been converted into double this number of floors. Iu tho main boll on the top and lower floors aro arrangements for cooking, and each lodger has the privilege of using the common fire. Adjoining this co operative kitchen aro the water closets, al ways out of reiHiir, and it is no uncommon sight to see tho Chinese standing on bits of brick and stone and placidly cooking, while the floor is covered with the overflow from the choked elects, and tho atmosphere is like that of a huge cattle stable at the east when thrown ojien on a winter morning. Tbe coolie seems to be able to live without air, for in the closets that serve as rooms in the great human hive there ure never any incaus of ventilation, day or night Yet tho occupants appear to thrive, and if capacity to do hard work is a sign of health they are in good physical condition. Georgo H. Fitch iii Cos mopolitan. Wlto is the Gentleman? " It is a mistake," says Ouida in the North American Review, "to compare moral qualities with the qualities which com pose culture and good breeding." It is a mistake indeed, and yet it is almost as common as speech. Because, for instance, it is excellent to be a gentleman, that is, a man of breeding, and it is uLso ex cellent to be a man of upright character and and kindly disosition, we find these qualities quoted and admired as if they were inter changeable. This absence of discrimination empties words of all meaning. " A person," says Ouida, may be full of kindly courtesies and never utter the shadow of an untruth, and yet be may have red hot hands, a strident voice, an unsupportable manner, dropped aspirates and a horribly gross joviality, which makes him the vul garest of tho vulgar." But good breeding by necessity is coming to mean almost any thing else the speaker wishes, for the impera tive reason that the thing itself is disappear ing; and as for the word gentleman, what does tliat mean now more than a human biped of the male gender? New York Home Journal. Saved by a Seduced Salary. "My life was saved by having my salary reduced," said a robust, middle aged man yes terday. There was a natural expression of surprise and he explained as follows: "Ten years ago I was under bookkeeper for Riegel & Co. at 11,200 a year. Something happened no matter what and I was thrown out 1 battered around for about two months and then went to work at 1750. At that time I lived at Sixtieth and Market, was thin and weak and couldn't walk a mile to save a dol lar. At least I thought I couldn't, but when my wages wore reduced so fearfully I had to economise, and I did so by walking borne on fair days from Tenth and Market to Six teenth street say five miles. It nearly killed me at first, and then I began to enjoy it In three mouths I was walking both ways, and I've kept it up ever since. Ten miles a day summer and winter, unless during a hard storm, and look at me! One hundred and eighty pounds, appetite of an ostrich and not a day's sickness in ten years." Philadelphia CalL The Bootblack's Income. While I was having my shoes polished the other day at the stand, which, in the evening, is the nucleus of the crowd of loafers that bang around the corner of Myrtle avenue and Fulton street, I asked tbe Italian, who keeps it, how much money a day he took in. He told me that (6 or $7 was tbe average amount "And this is as good a spot for your business, is it not, as any in tho city!" "No," be replied, "there are stands near the bridge that mako from $15 to $20 a day. I used to have a three chair stand at the Grand Central depot, New York, that paid me three times as much as I mako here. I paid $30 a month rent; here I pay $10 a month rent" "Wnydid you leave New York?" I asked. "Oh, because there were too many hoodlums around there. They used to steal my black ing and bother me in other ways. Then again I had an offer of $000 for my privilege there, and that was too much money to re- luse." "Rambler" in Brooklyn Eagle. An Impudent Beggar. I have been given some of the most extra ordinary letters making demands upon sev eral well known rich people for assistance, and they aro worth printing some day. The most impudent of all, however, in one way, was the case of a beggar who sent a few days ago to a wealthy lady here, whose charity is proverbial, a letter asking money, by a mes senger boy, collect The bouse of industry might furnish a very useful employment for that beggar. San Francisco Chronicle uUa dertoues." Big Bills for Dry Goods. The head of one of the great New York dry goods firms was asked the other day if be could give any idea of the yearly aggregates of tbe bills of his heaviest customers. Twenty five thousand dollars, he said, one woman bad spent with him within a twelvemonth, and several others had grown poorer to the extent of $30,000 or $15,000. Thirty thousand dol lars is not unheard of as tbe price of the dress and toilet equipments of an extravagant city's extravagant dames. Public Opinion. An Income from Whistling. Whistling is very much in demand in Bos ton. A certain pretty girl who fa said to have "a charming mouth for whistling" k jnaking rather a good little income whistling for private parties.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A CLASS WHO DISGRACE THE PROFESSION. The Cede of Ethics Aasg Lawyers. Blackmailers of the Cer-oratlons Di vorce Proceedings aad How Conducted by the Shyster Other Tricks. There is a code of ethics among lawyers, though never a lawyer appeared in a ro mance 9f ajdrama who ever appeared to have any ethics beyond "Get a case fairly if you can, anyhow if you must" The code of eth ics is, in brief, that on must not drum up ?ases, that cases must come to tbe lawyer, or rather be sent to him by his friends or clients. Tbe poor devil of a lawyer who never gets a clients to talk up his merits, and hasn't a friend who would refer a case to him, sticks to ethics as long as possible, but ethics don't . feed him or clothe him. Tbe big guns bold all the practice worth having, and the p. d. get bis pay in thanks, or mayhap in curses because be lost a case which he had not funds enough to properly prepare. He throws eth ics overboard in disgust; eventually, aad when bedoesso,wbenheausoutonthe'seaof life .. . ui . .. ..j ..h... . k. as a kind of privateer and captures cases, he is denominated a shyster. He joins then the grand army of disreputables, and is among, but not of them; for the shyster, pure and simple, is generally a legal confidence man, preying upon his clients, while instigating them to prey upon others. Tbe shyster's name is legion. He works ' quietly and rakes in his fees religiously. He s debarred froiu association with reputable lawyers, but he nes inoney, aiidjgeneraUy, m addtlon H5uUr jw. bnstoef. , comets a money knd busmess at the usual usu"?t? of ? f8 k 1 1 f.T ?"??

The shyster gets his sustenance from the unfortunate whom he force into proceedings for damages. He becomes la tbe practice of his peculiar branch of business a blackmailer of the corporations of the city and of the clients themselves. To such an extent has the nefariousness of these irregular damage prac titioners gone that a reputable lawyer hesi tates nowadays, before going into court to sue for damages from fear that he will be classed as one of these bloodsuckers and legal harpies. Once a shyster gets a damage case his pro ceedings are a mixture of subordination of perjury and blackmail. He turns up wit nesses to testify to a state of facts to give "f3 J ."""J 7 "ulBO ": "T j ?lor an.d torm r?.0' and r? mtl he negotiates with the party or parties sued for a settlement with him as representative of his client It the settlement is effected he obtains the lion's share of the money, and the client is told that that share is his fee for the herculean endeavors in his behalf. In divorce proceedings, too, the shyster shines with no dim luminosity. Through his machinations trivial disputes between man and wife are magnified into grounds for divorce, through him the detestable system of espionage upon men and women has grown up and disreputable detective testimony te used to breed suspicion, distrust and open hatred that homes may bo broken up and fees roll into bis pocket Through the shyster in fluence the number of grounds for divorce in tho statutes is increased steadily, and at tempts to reduce them for the good of social morals and the maintenance of recognizable relationship are defeated through the power he brings to bear upon legislatures, if he does not happen to be elected as a law maker him self. On tbe law of libel, too, the shyster is strong, and to the end that ho may bleed the newspapers ho reads them every day, and uo man's name appears therein who is not liable to a call from a representative of some shy ster to inform him that he has grounds for action for libel. HOUNDING DOWN CORPORATIONS. Tho Mark Meddles exist in great numbers and their efforts to obtain cases are more despicable if not as ludicrous as those of the little man who would fain be kicked by the dramatis persona? in "Loudon Assurance." The shyster reads the columns of the news papers for the reports of accidents to in dividuals, reports of arrests, of differences between man and wife appearing in the lower courts. One attorney has prepared a printed circular which be sends out to such persons as may bo injured in accidents throughout tbe city. Another circular recently issued by a law yer who makes a specialty of entrapping peo ple Into divorce proceedings. It happened to be addressed to a person who badut taken the preliminary step toward divorce proceedings that is, he had not as yet got married, though he expected to be in a short time. He thought it a practical joke until he learned that the circular was sent out in all seriouv iiess, though in this iiarticular instance there had been a mistake iu addressing the en velope. The circular was so arranged that a blank was left for tbe word sir or madam. It is not often lawyers such as those alluded to intrust these matters to tbe iti&ib, though of late such practice has become more com mon than formerly. Usually the shyster has drummers out, fellows that seem to work for nothing more than lush money, who call on the persons who it is suspected would listen to their advances. The drummer is generally a bummer, and the wonder is that be succeeds as well as be does. All the little tricks of tbe shyster's trade could not be exposed in a newspaper article. The law is disgraced by men dubbed attor neys, who through influence of some kind or another suddenly cease practice as barbers or tinkers or saloon keepers or cooks, and tako the cases of people into courts, sacrificing their unfortunate clients to increase their bank ac counts. The shyster of the criminal courts, it so fortunately happens, is a valuable ad junct to the administration of justice in con victing tbe men he tries to acquit, but his general characteristics and practices are those of swindlers and bunco ateerers. Globe Democrat The Society Has or To-day. Tbe evolution in the society man is, per haps, more pronounced than in either tho sporting or Wall street type. European travel and experience in various quarters across tho water are responsible, in a large measure, for tbe changes which have taken place in men of leisure and those who devote nearly all of their time to social matters. The old typo was giddy, talkative and more or less effeminate. He was a lady killer, masher and a swell, danced as often as the opportunity offered, and affected a spirited manner and great animation in telling small talk and gossip. He was not a being who commanded admiration from men of sense and importance, but be pleased tbe ladies, and that was considered quite enough. He is dignified in manner, quiet, monstrous ly exclusive, and be affects a single club where ho knows outsiders cannot intrude upon him. He drives heavy horses to ponderous English carts, seldom attends the theatres and does the opera only on imjtortant nights. As a rule he does not dance unless the oc casion Li one of great importance. His hair is clipped short, parted carelessly, and there is about bis whole attire and manner an air of ease and negligence which is so finely as sumed that it seems thoroughly natural. From tho artful and animated creature of a few years ago tho society man has grown into the most simple and unostentatious of New Yorkers. To men whom he believes to be below him in tho social scale be is an abso lute snob, in the sense that he wfll have abso lutely nothing to do with them and refuses to recognize them under any circumstances, even though unavoidably subjected to an in troduction. To those in his own set he is thoroughly natural, unaffected and enter taining. Thero are very few such men iu town perhaps not over 200 at tbe outside but they are invited everywhere, aad tbe more important of them have it in their power to make or mar the success of any en tertainment to which they are invited, or make the reputation of a beautiful woman by a single word.

Of all the woods grown in the east this is the mast valuable. It is neither too heavy nor too hard; it does not warp or split under f posture to heater danmness; it contains an essential oil which prevents it rot ting under wet' conditions, and at the same time acta as preservative to iron and repels the destructive white ants; it is, withal a handsome wood, of seves varieties of color and grain, and takes good polish. Chicago A CHAT WITH SKOBELEFF. Mleaiatlc Use ef the KagUsli Laagmag, Why the Nobility Hated Him. Every one knows that he spoke most luently French, German and Rngiuti t once beard him speak very fair Italian; and be had already picked up a considerable knowl edge of Turkish. I asked once bow it was that be spoke English so very idiomatically; and when he said that be had English nurses when a child, I suggested that they would not account for the fashionable and army slang he used so correctly. To 'this he only replied: "Oh, I once sailed a yacht at Cowes;" but, by the laugh which accompanied the an- 1 swer, be evidently did not intend it to be taken as conclusive. He told me he thought bis family was not originally Russian, and had heard vaguely that it might have been English. I suggested "Scobell"; but "No not that, 1 think. Anyhow, I dont know who my great-grandfather was, and I don't care." j As we became more intimate our conversa tion turned on more serious matters; and I I recollect his asking me whether 1 really I thought bo was popular with the officers and men of his corps. "Of courso my aids tell me so from morning till night; but then they M I saysame tothe first general who . may supersede me." 1 replied that, bavin- may supersede me." I replied that, having known many of his officers and scores be longing to the other corps, I had heard him very frequently spoken of, and invariably in in the most flattering manner. "As for the men of your command, I have several times been amused to find that, instead of swearing by the name of the Deity, they say. By Sko beleff! it's true.!" At this he seemed much pleased. But when I added that ho must not think too much of his popularity among tbe brother generals, whose best words for him were that with three or four more Skobelcffs there would be no Russian army left, he ex claimed, "Oh, general I of course they are all jealous of me." After a pause be continued, "And yet. If any one has cause to be discontented, it fa I and not they. Just look at the men to whom they give their best civil and military ap pointments. Look at that pompous ass D. K. ; at a, an amiable -faineant,' at I., who is only fie to be a shopkeeper's clerk. As for me, 'Oh, there's Skobeleff; fighting's his trade, let him fight So I do tbo hard work and the others get rewarded." Presently, the same subject evidently rankling in his mind, he went ou, "And you dont know, you can't imagine, how all tbe imperial family hate me. All these grand dukes have their rank, their titles, and their wealth; while all the beauty of Russia is at their feet, if they choose to throw tbe handkerchief; and they hate me be cause I have wliat tliey have not a little military gIory."--Amondjah Bey in St James' Gazette. AN EMBARRASSED ENGLISHMAN. He Complains ef Persecution Mistaken for aa Anglomanias Yankee. "I am subject to one form of persecution in this country," said an Englisman to me the other day, "which I find quite intolerable, though I can't in tbe least blame my persecu tors. You know I speak quite like an Eng lishman, naturally, and conduct myself quite like one, as a matter of course. Really, inas much as I've been on this side only a month, you see, and am going home in another month, it would hardly be worth my while to attempt to master the accent and manners of the country, don't you know. "Now, I'm not in the least unwilling to I taken for an Englishman; that lam proud of. in fact But I'm not taken for an English man, and there's the disagreeable feature of the thing. I'm constantly taken, don't you see, for an Anglomaniac Yankee, a beastly cad whose native country isn't good enough for him, and who caricatures us in a wild at tempt to imitate us. To be taken for an Irish dynamiter or a Russian Nihilist would be a comparative compliment "The other day I culled on a friend in the city to whom I had a letter, and as ho wasn't in I fell into a little parley with tho young men in the outer office about his return and the like. Then I sat down in the inner office to wait a bit for him. Presently I heard, over the half partition, one of the young men say softly to bis companion, with an imita tion of my accent: " 'Bah Jove! not bad, don't you know! Is it natural or acQuircdf " 'Painfully acquiabed, deab boy painfully acquiabed,' said the other In tbe same tone. " 'Cahn't be done in a day, deah boy,' he went on. "There's Beverley Cadley, don't you know, who comes in here sometimes to boah the governor; took him one and twenty months yeas, three and twenty months to acquiah his accent This hasn't been carried tothesupehb perfection that Cadley's has; not at all, iny boy; but he'll mobster it In a yeah or two, don't you know, with perse verance.' "All this with an indescribable clipping of consonants and vowels made with tho teeth really very clever, you know. Then I heard a maddening chuckle from the two. This is very much the sort of treatment that I get everywhere. Sometimes men look as if they were really going to kick me, until they learn that I'm really an Englishman, and then they're the best and most cordial fellows hi the world. Really, it's very natural to treat me so, but it's deucedly unpleasant to be made odious in a strange land by a set of cads, don't you know." Boston Post Copyright la Clippings. An important case in regard to the right of newsiapers and journals inserting, without permission, clippings from other papers has recently been decided iu England. The pro prietor of Tbe Builder nowspaper applied for an injunction against The Brick, Tile, and Builders' Gazette to restrain the latter paper copying articles, essays, notes and other matter. Mr. Justice Stirling, on tbe submis sion of tbe defendants that the motion should bo treated as the trial of tbe action, gave judgment, granting a perpetual injunction in terms of tho writ and a reference as to dama ges. As affecting paste and scissors editing, and tlie wholesale unacknowledged stealage or Items that lias hitherto gono on unchecked, this is perhaps one of the most important actions in connection with literary copyright yet decided. Tbe Journalist Thero is a reason for employing French on the modern bill of fare which is quite prac tical It is that there are many culinary processes and arrangements and combinations of food for which no English definitions can be found. The French, having for many gen erations pursued the art and science of cook ery with ardor and success, have, as is always tbe case in such undertakings, gradually evolved a terminology of the kitchen. This has no analogies in English, because the Eng lish, though possessing always a robust dietary, and though in their former colonies developing a refinement beyond the tutelary skill, have never attained the complexity and nicety of discrimination and combination de veloped in France. From these facts it re sults that unless many French dishes are described in French words they can not be described at all. The Argonaut. Gea. X. P. Banks and Daughter. Miss Maud Banks, who is at present hi Philadelphia, asserts that her going upon the stage received tbe cordial approval of her parents.

A fine needle, forming tbe negative pole of a gal vanic battery about four cells is sufficient is introduced into the hair follicle, using a magnifying glass to find it accurately. Tbe patient then makes the circuit complete by grasping a sponge forming tbe positive pole. A few seconds application is sufficient to cause destruction to the hair follicle, and there is no new growth of tbe offending eve-lask-Qlobe Democrat. - j It vhas awful good if yoa caa f orglf your asssjBies, bat some mass kf a areat deal more rsepact f or you if y on Tfca a karat Ucker.

The First Point for Newspaper CewtrlVa tors to Consider Grammar aad Khete tie Be Fully Alive to the Kveate ef the Day. We publish herewith a letter which reached our bands the other day from the other side he American continent Though appar- entry not intended for the public eye. we as sure the writer will allow us to answer his questions in this public manner. "Editorial Dkprtmzxt, I The Portland Daily News. "Portland, Ore., Feb. 16, 1867. ) "Diab Sir You will confer a great favor on tbe advancing civilization of the "wild and ' woolly west" by forwarding to me, if conve- nient,acopyof the rules of style in force m The bun's composing rooms. Tbe News de sires to be abreast of its eastern contempo raries in style, as it is otherwise, and you can see my object The Sun style is the best in the United States; in fact, Tbe Sunisaper- fectmodel typographical excellence, and i. . - V t- ..""' it is tbe intention to mako The News as near as poksible a full fledged, life sfaed photo graph of tbo luminous eastern tp4n of Democracy. Yours respectfully, j "J. G. Eoak, "City Editor Daily News" ' TBS FIRST POINT. Wo should take great pleasure in doing all that Mr. Egan desires; but unfortunately there is uo such code as he wishes us to send for ward. The principles which govern tbe style of writing and printing in The Sun are, like the common law, preserved by authentic tra dition, but nowhere inclosed in the Iron formulas of unvarying prescription. In our view of tbe subject, the first point in a good style of writing is to have in tbe mind a clear and distinct idea and then to put it into language which presents it accu rately, vividly and picturesquely, so that the reader may apprehend it exactly as the writer intends. Tbe great rule of aU is accuracy. State the fact or tbe proposition precisely as it is, or precisely as it should be, and never say twenty-three or seventeen and a half when you mean twenty. Shun snobbishness. "A manV a man for a' that" is the soundest doctrine, but be is never more than a man; eud no thinker or writer has any call to be afraid of him, of hie clothes, of his title, or cf his money. Be an Ameri can always, a Democrat, a Republican. No literary style is good for an American journal ist without this moral foundation. Never discuss more than one proposition at a time; and never attempt to enforce more than one idea at a time. Intellectual con fusion, helpless complication of thought, the bane of good arriting. GRAMMAR ASD RHKTORIC. Know the truths and the mavft of Eng lish grammar and of English rhetoria Know tbe language that you are dealing iu. Thero is one effoctivo way to gain skill in these things, and that is to read tbe great masters, and. if possible, to practice writing under criticism that is intelligent and merci less, as well as sympathetic and vigilant Who are these great masters, do you ask? There are many of them. John Bunyau is one, Sir William Blackstone another, Jcnathan Edwards another. Lord Chesterfield another, Dr. Chanuing another, Cardinal Newman another, Arthur Helps another, Matthew Arnold another, Nathaniel Haw thorne another, Thomas Jefferson another. Vc might make a list of these masters of stylo that would fill a column. Finally, be alive to the events of the day if you wish to possess a good style as a iiews jtaper writer. Understand the value of sews. What is news but the living record of provi dence, tbe daily tablet which God Indites for the instruction of man I Even the trivial in cident of the hour has its place in tbo mighty chapter of human destiny. Treat it as yon may, then, gravely, satirically, or jocosely, lot there be ever in your heart a profound reverence for the momentous power from whoso operation it proceeds. Those are some principles of stylo which occur to us as we read Mr. Egan's letter. We fancy they form a pretty good code of rules, but wo put tbem forth without dogmatism. Nothing would give us more pleasure than to have the opportunity of studying a better one and profiting by its inculcations. New York Sun. Elaborate Kvaaloa. As a model of "how not to say H," Mr. Gladstone's reply to the question whether he was going to support Scotch iUffrrrtsMishmsnt will probably never be surpassed. As a nat ter of record, here It is: "I will only say that so far as I am able to judge, we are thf-iri-g at tbe present time, and the people of Scot land are thinking, of other subjects, which are regarded, I believe, as of much snore argent and immediate duty than the deter mination of a very much controverted ques tion, which, as I have said before, I hnMsiu tbe people of 8cotland will find tasensntves perfectly sufficient to determine, and in n manner which the rest of tbe empire will re spect, whether the answer be aye or nay. It is not within my knowledge, certainly that the consideration of that question has entered definitely into the concerns of the csssat election, and therefore I do not feel ay own information or means of judgment about it at all augmented in the course of it by any thing that has reached me." New York Tri bune. Pat Doaan oa " Hamlet." CoL "Pat" Donan doeent like tbe play of -Hamlet." uear tne eloquent adjective slinger: "I have no patience, much less sym pathy, with a wretched weakling who goes around jabbering at dilapidated old gbostsln tin helmets aad green gauss veils, under bogus moonlight; everlastingly threntening to do something and never doing it; driving his sweetheart to lunacy and a rstfhh rlsath. by his dime museum freaks; l"fcwg stump speeches to skulls and grave diggers; going in to all sorts of he-hysterics; and at last running a section of barbed wire fence, in the most approved Chicago pig sticking style, through his dead girl's brother, and dying himself, to slow fiddle music, amid general carnage of lunatics and wreck of absurdities. "New York Tribune. A Dynamite Sabstltnte. A new explosive, to which the name of "bellite" has been given, is regarded by cer tain scientific men of Europe as likely to come into general use in place of dynamite and other' nitroglycerine compounds, aad is recommended as n substitute for coarse gun powder in larger firearms. It is a mixture of nitrate of ammonium with a dmitrobenstae. Experiments during tbe past two years by M. Carl Lamm, of Stockholm, indicate that the substance is not only the safest but tbe moat powerful explosive known, with a moan force equal to thirty-five times that of ordinary cannon gunpowder, and n blasting effect greater than that of any -r-t.i having nitroglycerine as a base. It has tbe gnat advantage of being exploded only by heat, no amount of shock or friction having any effect upon it, and it may therefore be han dled without danger of accident, while it is less adapted for illegitimate use than dynam ite. Further results will be awaited with in-Isrest.-- Arkansaw Traveler. A Cere for Ceras Wetee".
