MET FOR CHI LOU EN. T.dnr.ilnc Drankanl. 4 ■ lllaxrnllMi f Ikr I*roper Fool for Children. In a recent. lecture. Dr. J a*. Edmunds, of London, said: English babies of the present generation are never sober, from the earliest period of their existence until they have lveeti snuMtl. The mothers have Mqninnl the habit of using wine, ami the wvithed condition of the body after the mother has taken half u pint of beer or trine is really the tlrst stage of drunkenness in the child. The fact is, the Imby is only the infinitely more sensitive extension of the mother's system, ami it is more likely than any other part of the mother's system to re c ave the things which are injurious that are taken through the medium of the mother's diet. 1 x-t those mothers who lnnk l>eor understand that they are dis tilling that Ixx-r into their children's frames; that the very mold they are to preserve for the rest of their lives is wing constructed out of blood that is alooholiaed—out of a condition of the system 111 which intoxication is the real substantial element for the tlrst twelve months of its growth. If children thus nurtured become drunkards when adults, aavs the New York childkotxl will haw only a normal apix-tite; it will not hanker after cake and pie and canity and sweetmeats; nay, it will refuse them, and choose plain and wholesome fmxl. In tins normal choice the eliihl should lx> confirmed, and every temptation to in diligence iu unwholesome diet lx- re m ved afar (hxu it. Nothing more pro motes swivtneSs of temper and uniform amiability iu either ohu'ren or adults than a strictly w holt-some diei, and no diet in which spices, pickles, pasting sweetmeats, coiulunouts are frequent in gredients, can be called wholesome. The fact that a child is indulged in ell the candy and cake it can eat vices uot prove anything but tlial its parents are exceed ingly unwise and injudicious. Many fond fathers till their pockets with confections ami nnta for the little folks at koine, and tiiiuk they are thus showing themselves kiml .111.1 indulgent. But how much bet ter for the children if the money thus spent was invested in hooks or toys, or {Hit iu the savings hank. There is no class of {iconic so particu lar about their vlict as brain-workers. The cookery of the foixl no loss than its quality is to them a matter of prune im portance. Thiw# {xirents who are auxious to develop in the lx->t manner the intel lectual capacities of their children, should take tins fact into consideration. The staple articles in the diet of a brain work or arc fresh tisk, broiled or baked, beefsteak, or mutton, {wultry, vege taldes, simple puddings, and wheat bread well done, Pit-is, rich puddings, and all fried meats are given over en tirely to those who work with their muscles, ami so can "work off" in
  • one of the ladies present, he exclaimed: 'jSee! the dresswoman has spoiled this waist, (pointing to the darts). Come Up, please, and tell her what to do. She is cutting everything into ribbons ; and all because we are strangers, and know no better." The lady comforted him by telling him that " crooked lines" were necessary to the proper fit of the waist, and the ribbons were to lie transfigured into beautiful flounces, and that the dressmaker was very reliable, and knew what she was about. What will the lit tle lady do when all the mysteries of a civilized woman's toilet are" displayed to her astonished vision ? His First Poems. The following story is told of John O. Whittier's early contributions to Mr, Garrison's Prte Pre** ; The editor of the paper found the first poem tucked under the door of his office by the postman, and noticing that it was written in blue ink was tempted to throw it into his waste-basket. He read the poem, saw there was true genius in it, and so he published it. Happy was the Quaker farmer bov when he saw hm verses in print. He feft that Go.l liad something iiwstart- in life for him—that he was called in some wav to he good and useful to others. He wrote other poems, and sent them to Mr. Garrison. They were full of beau ties—these poems. Mr. Garrison one day asked the postman from what quar ter they came. "I am accustomed to deliver a pack age of jiajiers to a fanner-boy in East HaverhilL I guess they ooine from him." Mr. Garrison thought lie must ride over to East Haverhill and see. So ho went one day, and found a slender, sweet-faced fariner-bov working with his , plain, practical father on the farm. The boy modestly acknowledged tliat be bail , written the poCms; nt wliich his father did not seem over well pleased. " You must send that boy to school, | Friend Whit tier," said Mr. Garrison. [ Friend Whittier was not HO sure; but ' the good counsel of the Xewburyport ] editor, in the end, was decisive. The , boy was sent to the academy. , True Hospitality. True hospitality of the home is never i loudly and noisily demonstrative. It I never whelms -you with its greeting, j though you have not a doubt of its per fect sincerity. You are not disturbed 1 by the creaking pf the domestic ma- 1 chin ?ry, suddenly driven at unwonted t speed for your accommodation. Quietly t it does its work, tliat it may put you in i peaceable possession of its results. He < is not the true host, she is not the best i hostess, who Is ever going to and fro i with hurried action and flurried manner i and heated countenance, as if to say, i "See how hospitable I can be," but 1 rather the one who takes your coming J with quiet dignity and noiseless pains- i taking, who never obtrudes attention, t yet is very attentive all the while; who v makes you, in one word—the most ex- 1 pressive word in the English tongue—to i be at home. There is no richer, deeper, I larger hospitality than that. 1 v ADVICE TO "STATESMEN." A rill Joarnal lihfa Ihf Nrw li-Klx-lcl iHHi-fn Simf Idilir In a Surcmilc M ■. The New York Iferahl, in a sarcastic ' article headt-d " Advice hi Statesmen," ' says: Without disheartening nnticqm tione AS to what mar be the I-OMIII of ' recent reforms, it may be well for our . "statoamou "to learn a few lessons from ' the |mat. The cardinal principle of statesmanship is " not to lx- found out." ' As the prudent householder builds bis ' foundation upon u nx-k in calm tune*. iu order Unit lie mav laugh nt the tempest ' w hen it does its fearful will, so the eau tious " statesman,'" in the lxginnmg of his career, will do a ell to profit by the mistakes ami overweening oonfidetuxxi of the {ast. 1 As wo have sniff, the "statesman's* duty is "uot to lie found out." It is ' not so tuuch what we do as that jvople do not know that we do it. To that end let our " statesmen" never keep ac ' counts; for Link i-Hshiem have u habit of merciless Until telling, when under oath. They do not like to go to (irisoii for {x r jury". Tliey lisve never Ixx-n known do s\i ear a customer out of a soriqie, and they have no hearts shove their flgiues and* their ledgers. L-t our statesmen also avoid Ivuiking houses, nor sek to have checks cashed for largo amounts of money; for lxuik officers have k IS often disagretwble property. Somehow when a cheek is once written it ueverdtea. An iuuoivut, harmless, iuexprni-iiYc clnvk, written long ago and forgotten, its prtKvssls gone into cluuu|>agiie ami trnttios, will rise u{i like a phantom to arrest the most {iros{H'reus "statesman," Nor is it safe to bo carvh-ss aUntt liank liills. Bank bills are sometimes marked ami trmwl. A wise " stati'sunut " would do well to keep all his inutaactious iu gold. Auother rule is not to divide with plasterer* sml ,-ar{s-ntTs ami safeuiakers ami vulgar jHsq-le who eare more aKmt money llian friendship. They w ill "s{ueal" at the first appearance of danger. Tim i-xperienre of the retired " statesniau " on Black well's Island on this {Hiint will tie instructive. (.hire liaving ohtiiimsl their honest wages in gold it is always s.ife to put it away ami keep it. Ih> not squander it on lawyers. If Uie truth were known alxnit the ring corruptions, ami we could tivuv the al ventures of Uie many millions taken from the treasury under the Twetsl reign, a lar, v jiart would nowr be found in the possession i-f attorm-vs at law. One good, live, active, bustling lawyer, not txi divir. is a gvxxl thing m a well con - ductixl business, and may Vx- called a prudent investment. The abuse Ix-gins when six or eight lawyers are hirtxl; not because of their ability, but their " iu flueiMV." Oure a "stateaman" in nils fortune falls into the hands of these gentlemen Ids chamx-s of bankraptcy are alxuit as sure as tlie well fattemxl Stros bourg gvxoe is of finding its ultimate destiny iu pate tie foie t/ra*. The "atatesmeu" of the jxist were wiser in this resjxx-t than tlie tmxlern gentlemen. No one ever heard of Mr. Turpin, i>r Mr. Shepparvl, or Mr. Claude lhival, or any of these renowned " statesmen " of the post, taking checks, or going to ttauks, or receiving anything but gold, or devoting their liard-earned wealth to the aggrandisement of attornevs-at-law. Wliat thw gentlemen eormsl tney kept, because what they ke{>t Uiey had. If there is any objret in the world less in teresting to an attorney tliau another it is a client who lias paid all his moue\ in fees and is sen mg out his term in jail. There are minor points that should be remembered. Avoid velvet ix>ats iunl scarlet nrekties. They attnu't attention. A true statesman always prefers the sliady side of the walk. IV> uot wear diamond pins nor gaudy ajqvarel. nor in vest in trotting lwr-s-s, nor frixjueiit public places, nor wrrih- for the newrqia {x-rs, nor lx- "interviewtxL" Remember tliat journalists are the common enemies of mankind, tliat they are a corrupt, venal class. cu]>al>le of di>ing violence to illustrious reputations. 11<> not seek notoriety by organizing clubs, target companies or excursions. Reserve all these comforts until you have retired from public life and investigations are over. If trouble should come, serious, searching trouble, a five years' trip to Europe is always in reserve, with this Ultimate advantage, that at the end of the five years you may return to New- York, take up the cause of reform, or ganize a committee and purify public affair* just as you yourselves were puri fied in the pis!. Execution of a ( arlist ( kief. The Madrid correspondent of the Lon don Dotty Trlet/rapb writes as follows j concerning the execution of the Car list - Chief Loziuio by the Republicans; "But Lozituo was not so fortunate. Though he had been but a year in Car list uniform, he hud ravaged a third of j Spain, hail damaged railway property to the extent of over a million aterling. and j shot iu cold bhxxl railway officials down even to the grade of porter. Tlie ques- j tion before the government was—could tliey spare his life, or dare they take it. It was a hard choice, and all honor to | them for deciding in the only way that j would satisfy public opinion* Tiie in human scoundrel has been cxoontxl at j Alliacete, and, what is even better, the Carlists have not ventured to fulfil their threat. Lozano showed considerable pluck at the last moment. He was, after being ' confessed 'in the elm pel of , his prison, at seven in the morning , driven to the place of execution, not in , the prison van, but in the open carriage of a private gentleman, and the account j from which I quote says he occupied j 'the place of honor' therein. Two j priests and an intimate friend orenpiod , the other seats. He descended from the , auTiage and walked to the fatal sjw.t with the greatest serenity, nml he him- , wlf gave the order to fire.* He fell dead j at the first discharge, but in order to f make assurance doubly sure a hall was ] afterwards tired into his head. He had , such great hopes his life would be Hjiareff j tliat during Lii incarceration he gave r orders for a p;.;r of new riding lxMts. He addressed n {letition for inthitfo to the government ; imrelf, at the request • of his family. He liad served just oue j year in tlie Car'; t ranks. He joined .. them on the 3d of Ihceinbor, 1373, nt t Chelva. in his unit nn of captain in the | Republican army. On the 3d of Decern- , l>er, 1874, he was executed in Albacte. ( He was but twenty-six years of age. n Six days after he deserted to the Car! i-t a army he was made commandant'- and , given command of a battalion, which he had to organize himself, and to which lie gave tlie title of Cazadores of Ori- •[ hueta. He ap{>ears to have taken an n active part in the disgrace and arrest of n the Carlirt chief Santos, whom he susp ported of entering into treaty with the ( . Madrid government." Cutting Flies. Tlie exactness and skill shown in file cutting attest the dexterity tiiut can Is; reached by constant jirai-tiee. Files are s; cnt by liaiul and by ma<-liiueM l but the h latter have not achieved any greater ti regularity or precision than those cut by p hand, and by many artisans the ma- d chine-cut files are considered inferior, n The expert billiard player makes count- n less false strokes; but none of the errors a remain on record—they perish as soon tl as made. Bat the fife cutter's works l> live after him. The blanks, as they are a 1 technically called, are steel strips in the 1 shape of tiles, and the teetli are raised ai upon them by small chisels held in a I peculiar way and struck by a hammer, fi The frequency of the teeth is determined a by the force of the blow, which raises aw furrow in the blank; the chisel is then ft slipped along until it strikes tlie back of n the furrow, and another blow is given; vi and so on alternately until the tile is ti completed. The whole process is as c< rapid in the hands of an expert as writ- A ing, and goes on continuously from tt morning till night with no cessation. An A uneven blow does not destroy the file, st but injures its workmanlike appearance, b Any one who examines the files of com- " meroe will see their regularity. Some ii files are so small that they will float in it water, being little over an inch in length, i ti They v ary from this size to thirty inchen h in length, the latter being used in the | si heaviest machine and steam engine | p work.

A If Ii ml Man's Fall. Tlie Bockville find.) llcjMibliean has the following: Harvey Fulwider, u blind nam well known in tins community, ami who is accustomed to walking around over the country, started out to Ibivid Fulwider's, distant alxuit four miles from town. After walking nearly three miles he l>st his way and wandered around until lb o'clock, when his calls for help were heard, and he was taken to the resi dence of Henry T. Martin, where he re mained all night. Next morning after breakfast he left Mr. Martin's ami pro cix-Jed again on his journey. Again he became lx-wilffer.sl, and wamlered aromul through the woods near the cowl mines. In his wanderings he found himself iu a ravine. After a length of time he climb ed out of it, and supposed himself to be on tin- road. Coming to a declivity he imagined it was the same j-lm-e lie !uul been in. After feeling around with his tune be concluded he would slide down the hill. He started on what proved to lx- u fearful leap. After sliding shout ten feet he was hurled over n precipice twenty-five feet high by aetual measure ment, breaking lx>th legs three inehes nlxive the ankle joint. The left leg sus tained n compound friu-ture, the Lines protruding tlirongh the flesh, Ix-siiles having his back and liijm badly bruised. I'liis occurred about nine o'clock in the morning ami he remained there all alone until live o'clock in the afternoon, when his cri"s for aid wore heard, and lie was [•arried to tin- house of Mr. Martin again, !ind a physician adjusted the fractured liinbs. * A Singular < ave. Iu Paris a juvenile has originated a ipecialtv. He rolw Ix-ggars, more jinr ti-tilarly blind ones. He- selM-ts his vic tim, follows him, chats with him and plays with the dog. He caresses the log. He even generally has n hit of meat ill his pocket, for the dog. He makes friends with this faithful animal ind then regards the ease ns safe; and :he dog thus adroitly engaged with a one does not interfere with the mere distraction of a few sous from a tin cup. ' I'hi.i prcxM-aa has had many suewsses, ' ind ui> to this time but one failure. Kvcn dogs are uncertain. Recently a ! ine specimen held the blind man's penny J •atchcr in bin mouth. It was u little ' vooden bowl, and there were three or ' 'our coppers in it ; but the dog liad had ' i tine lione in the morning, and tin-boy, < vho depended on that, depended irrn- i ionally. As he put his hand on the i ■oppers the dog seized him by the throat, i kssistance from the police was necessai-y i o comjiel him to relinquish his hold. , knd the boy, did the thought of prison , itir his soul? Not in the least. He was juny with the other subject. He said, j •An ungrateful dog. That is unnatural, mpossible even. This ilog, therefore, ' nust lie mad." And this fancy pros- 1 rated the youth to sucli a degree that 1 te was taken to the hospital und died ' iliortly after, his case being stated by the 1 jhysicians in attendance as a most acute * •ase of hydrophobia.

The manager left the ship with the oldest one, a girl i of eight.
