HOW TO

NAPLES.
I aelected what loomed to mo tbe
leant objectionublo of the lot, and ap
proached tbe delicato object, the price

don't know what his name was, but
it might eaaily have been Bvppo.

It struck me tliat the price was rennon
able, and I was about to aottle tho bill,
whon mr friend nlucked mo bv the
coal-sleeve, with an expression ot nor-
ror, and exclaimed, "You must never
pay the price asked you ; make him an

offered thirty francs, and expected to
be stabbed on the spot. But no ; Uep-
no tnougm it a cruel tninit lor so ex
cellcnt a gentleman ns my self to thus
rob uim oi "the nnest suit ol clothes in
Naples" at the figure. Jle would take
fifty francs and nothing less ; at which
announcement be did the clothes up in
a parcel, "Make it tbirty-two francs
and stick there." This was ths last
utterance of the monitor at tnv elbow,
and when I obeyed orders with tbe
calm deliberation of one who proposes
to fight It out on that line, poor Bcppo
Durst Into tears and plead M cause.
This was too much for a man with a
largo family and no mean itomach ; he
miviit, owing to the (act that he had
awroii muiuirwu me war since my ar
rival in Naples, nuke it forty francs ;
but friendnhip, selfish and undying
tnenasnip, alone prompted the goner
ous sot,.
With that announcement my friond
took me by the shoulder and walked

go far; we tarried about the threshold
tor a moment, and I was onos more
seised and walked back again, while
noppo embraced me tenderly, and cnod
with much emotion, "Take them for
thirty-five franc take them ; I am a
ruined man, bnt I would not have you
go out into tho world naked and for

ing, by this time, that I was quits a

therefore, put down my thirty-two
frances, which Bcppo received without
a murmur.
A tragedy in five acts could not have
so worked up my leelinin as did the
picture of Bcppo weeping in the midst
oi a numerous and starving Iamily,and
this picture haunted me as 1 left that
unhappy spot. A moment later Beppo
was at my side, begging that I would
give uim a glass ot wine only six sous!
it was conscience money, and was
freely given ; but as I turned the cor
ner close at hand, Bcppo was still
watching me, slid I saw then tbere
was a twinkle in his eye, that seemed
to sny, "After all this shopping, I have

buttons are put on with starch ; bat
time is fleeting, and perhaps I shall
rise into cooler latitudes in season to
save myself.
FEMININE TACTICS.'
A lady correspondent of tbe Boston
Globe writes : One day, on the trip up.
when reading a magasine, my atten
tion was attracted by the glitter of a
gokl bracelet, whiob, look where I
would, flashed before my eyes, and
further scrutiny revealed the fact that
the young lady who wore it was par
ticularly anxious that I should be at
tracted by it, and, to further her de
sign, began cutting the leaves of her

Kor the purpose of showing her that
I was not particularly daisied, in fact,
that there was another such in tho
world, 1 took a gold pencil from my
pocket and marked a passage in my
boon, lor my bracelot was equal to hers.
Observing the fact, ah drew off her
left glove and carefully arranged, her
veil, that l might not Jail to sea the
heavily enased ring wtalrb encircled
her finger, i could "iro her one better"
here; so, taking off my glove, I drew
down ths blind, flashing a rare topag
and a solitaire diamond before hep ap
preciativs eyes. She saw, and quickly
pulling off her other dove, displayed
a splendid cluster diamond and a glr
gantio amethyst - I was slightly notv
fiuisea, out, as sus wore no ear-rings,
felt that, after all, 1 was evon with
her. At that instant she drew an ele
gant little watch from her belt, whioh
she studiod attentively two whole min

turned to me. as it to say, "Well, go

TALE OF A DEFEATED CANDI
DATE.
"M. Quad" gets oft the following In
ths Detroit trtt mat :
At HR WAS
John Cain was a quiet, unobtrusive
citisen. lie didu t Ions lor lame and
renown, and he didn't care two cents
whether this great and glorious coun
try wss ruled by a one-norae jvopuun
can or a two-horse vomocrat.
bis vi an' si.
He had a pew in church, give six-
teen ounces tor a pound, sna when
man looked him square in the eye Mr.
Cain never took a book seat. lie was
home at a reasonable hour in the even
ing, never took part in discussing, "1
lairor healthy r and many a mau
wished that his life rolled on as evenly
and pfHAoelttlly as John Cain s.
BI T ALAS 1
the templet came. In an evil hour
John Cain allowed the politicians to
fit alter bun and to surround bim
i'hey said he was the itronireat man in
the country; that he could scoop out of
his boots, any man sot up in opposi
tion ; that his virtues were mnnyand
his faults 000,000; that it was his duty
to come out snd take a nomination in
order that this pure and incorruptible
form of government be maintained pure
and incorruptible. All tun and inucu
more they told him, and John Cain
BRCAMK PITriD VP.
It surprised him some to think that
X he had bold his peaceful way along for
forty odd years, like a knot-hole in a
barndoor, without any one having dis
covered what a heap of a fellow bo was,
but he concluded that there was a new
era in politics and that it was all right.
THXY BAMBOOZLED HIM.
Tho politicians covered John Cain
with soft soap. They told bim that
the canvass ihoulun t cost him a red.
and that ho could still retire at eiirli
o'clock every evening and rost assured
that his interest would bs properly
cared for. It was to be a still linn
a very quiet eloction, and ho would
hardly know what was going on.
John was an honest, unsiinpocting idiot,
and be swallowed their words as too
confiding fish absorbs the baited hook,
TUB PLOT THICKENS.
John Cain was duly nominated and
the band came out and scarnaded him
With the band came several hundred
electors,who filled the Cain mansion to
overflowing, spit tobacco all over the
house, ate and drank all tuey could
find, broke down the gate, and went
on with three cheors tor John I am.
WASTED StlOAR.
Before the canvass wsi ten dayi old
half a doaon men railed on Cain and
gently hinted to him that he nniNt
come down with tbe "sugar." He
didn't even know what sugar was un
til they explained. They wanted
money to raise a polo, to buy beer, to
get slips printed, and to do fifty other
.1.: .'.L -II L:
iuiiia wiiu, au aur uia ,arLicuuar uttnu-
nt, and he had to band out money.
THE COMBAT PIIPEHS..
In the course of another week thoy
drew Cain out, to make a speech at a
ward mooting. He triod to claw off,
but they toit him that the opposing
candidate would run him out ot sight
if bo uiuu t come, and he went out
hon be got through speaking, the
crowd drank at his exponso, anil Mr.
Cain was astonished at tbe way the
liquor went down, and more astonished
at the way the bill footed up. He
didn't reach home until midnight, and
for the first time in hit lifo he was go
ing to bed with his boots on. His wifo
wouldn't speak to him, the hired girl
left the house to save her character,
and John Cain wished the politicians
had let mm aiono. ,
INCREASE Or CUHRtNCT. :
More men came and crooked their
fingers at him and whinnered "sugar.'
Tbey wanted to buy some doubtful
votes, and to hiro four-horse teams,
and to mail bis slips, and he had to
eorae down, lie hesitated about it,
but they told him that the opposing
candidate felt sure Of victory and that
acted as a spur.
WARM HEARTED PRIKHM.
There was hardly a night that from
a 1 at. A l: , .iTj . at
it to zs v menus uiu nui cnti ou m.
Cain to inlorm him as to the "pros
pects." They drank up tho current
wine Mrs. Cain had laid ly for sickness,
emptied her preserve jars, and tlieraj
wasu t a morning that she couitin I
sweep out 40 or do cigar stubs and a
peck of mud. They all told Cain that
he could beat tbe other man so far out
of sight that it would take a carrier
pigoon to find him, and be couldn't
very well refuse to go 1 over to tho
corner grocery and "set 'em up" for
the boyS. :: I
THE CR1818 i
finally came. On tho eve of election
Mr. Cain's friends called for "iiignr"
again, and he had to sugar 'cm. A big

THE FOOL AND THE HIGH-
WA YMAN.
Never heard of Redmond 0'llanlon,
the Irish highway robber? Woll,
that's surprising. Your English Tur-
pms and Kronen Jnvals could not hold
a candle to our highwayman. But for
all his shrewdness he met his match
for once, and I'll tell you bow it was.
Redmond wai a fine,struppiiig,Hport
ing, gentlemanly fellow, and ajluvotod
admirer of tho ladtpri as where is the
Irishman that is iiot? And what is
more, a friend to the poor; as you will
admit when 1 tell you that his de
mands for cash were only made on
porsom who could well afford to meet
them, and that he delighted in forcing
contributions from those who had the
name of a hard landlord to their lon-
anta. There wan'oue of this class
horn Redmond never lost sn opimr-
tunity of taxing, forthitt was the polite
naiuo he gave to his own robberies.
Evory quarter day this geiitlcmun, or
one of his servants sometimes more
than one used to take a journey of six
or seven miles to colled his rents, and
as regularly ns clock work, there was
Redmond O'llunlon, with somo stout
compunion, if necessary, to waylay tho
collector as ho returned homo, r.very
was used to elude him, but to
no purpose, lie bad spies evory whore,

ho one quarter day, whon tho gen

collecting money to hunt! over to bim.
.now this goutloman had on bis es-
tato a boy called "Jerry the pool,
who had tho run of the house and
made fun for tho family. He had a
great conceit of himself, and when he
heard what the master said, ho imme
diately asked to be allowed to go after
the rents for once, and declared he
would know tho way to bring them
safe home. Of course ho was laughed
at, but when he represented lliut no
harm would come trom trying, as bo
cotild'nl do worse than all who had
gono before him, the master ugreed to

such preparations as ho thought suita
ble chose the worst horse in the stitblo,
an old hack, half blind and three
quarters lame and startod on his en-
terpnse. .nothing occurred on tho
way. Hu collected a considerable
amount of money, carefully deposited
it about bis person, and stalled home
ward, toward evening, as ho was
quietly jogging along on tho old hack
and was just entering n long lane with
high hedges on both sides, a tail, fine
looking man rode up to him on a hand

"God save yon, my man," says the
gentleman.
"trod save your honor, replies jerry.
"What's your name, my man r"
asked the gentleman.
"Jerry the Fool, and I aint ashamed
of it What's yours?"
Ths gentleman took no notice of the
question. After a while hosays,"T hut's

"f aith, I'm glad your honor likes

on in silence till they came to a lonely

of pistols, and told Jerry to hand over
all the money he had about him, or

CO A L A SUES FOE PL VM TJIEES.
A thorough tnul has convinced us
that coal ashes scattered around tho
roots of nlum trees from five to six
inches in depth, and for an extent of
about four feet in circumference, is the
best remedy for the annihilation of
that destroyer ot this luscious limit,
tho curculio. For many years a fine
and apparetly healthy plum tree of
the green gago variety lias evory spring
gladdened us with rts countless snowy
blossoms, only to bring disappointment
since scarcely had the fruit began to
form liefiiro tho little blnck specks, do
noting tho destructive work of tho
dreaded and apparently invincible cur
culio became apparent. Every remedy
over beard of was applied for its eradi
cation, hut all to no purpose, not a
slnglo plum escaping its ravages, and
all tbe irrtit falling stung and worth
less to the ground long before it was
half grown. The tree grew lurgo, and
as Its shadows injured other trees in
its vicinity; it was decided to cut it
down, sinco it merely cumbered tho
ground. Adjoining it grow two lurgo
peach trees, which with tho host mim
ing and care, could live but a few years
longer, and as it seemed a pity to cut
down this healthy trco, when tho two
others must inevitably soon bo also
taken out, which would loavo our small
yards shadeless, hot and sunny, wo
resolved to give the plum tree another
year's trial.
Our coal ashes from two coal stoves
had, during the entire winter and
spring, been placo in a hugo pile in tho
yard, with the intention of having it
carted away during tho summer. How
over, learning of the value of coal ashes
on old apple trees from a correspondent
of tho American Farm Journal, the
thought struck us that thcro would bo
no barm in trying it for tho young
plum tree, as it might destroy the cur
culio eggs in its vicinity. Accordingly
coal ashes as above described was
placed around its roots, and tho re
mainder ol the ash heap scattered in
the same manner around forufpr five
English cherry trees, hithortil fiseless,
sinue their fruit had been so stung that
it had always been worthless. As the
neighbors went by the yard and saw
what was being done, they ominously
shook their heads, predicting that those
trees certainly would be killed, and it
was such a pity, as they afforded such
boaiitiAil and refreshing shado for tho
heated street, and wero such an orna
ment to tho yard, oven if thoir fruit
was worthless. But wo had an experi
menting fit, ant! all tho ashes in the
yard was placed around these trees,
about the lust of March or first of April.
Never did trees blossom more profuse
ly, but It was a good fruit, year, and
the ashes were not supposed to have
benefitted thorn in tins respect. As
the small green fruit began to form,
very little of it-full to the ground, and
that was not stung, and when it had
reached maturity it was unusually
largo, plump, perfectly sound and
hcultliy, and very abundant in quantity.
Since tho plum tree bos homo fruit
this is tho first year that tho plums
have been fit lor use, Severn! hunliola
of which have been gathered, whoso
markotuble valuo is five dollars per
bushel. Both in quality and quantity
the plums are all that could be desired
by the most ardent lover of this most
delicious fruit. It became nocessary
to gather them oeloro they bad fully
ripened, as thoy moulded on the tree,
probably because there w as a lack of
sunlight in the yard, which is quite
thickly planted with other trees: but
as the flavor of the fruit is better for
canning before it is perfectly matured
nothing was lost thereby, especially as
tho plums ri'ronod alter lying in tho
houso a day or two, whero they were
required tor use In a tresh condition
P rom our own experience, we believe
that the value ot coal ashes lor fruit
trees, which aro old and diseased, or
for the eradication ol insocls ot everv
description, cannot be over-estimated,
and for plum trees, particularly, we
would recommend its protuso use, as
the only eflicacions remedy against the
curculio. The earlier the ashes are
placed about the trees in the spring
tho belter. Later m autumn might
lie even mora certain ol bcuctlt against
destroying insects, but thospring seems
to us the most convoniont time, as the
winter's ashes have then accumulated.
No fears nood bo entertained that too
ninch ashes will injure iho trees ; it
acts as a fcrtahscr while it keops down
the grass until lute in the siiininer.snd
serves to invigornto tho trees Ameri

W hen I got borne last night, said

in soak. J horo always is when she
sits propjxid tip in bed reading, and 1
knew it.
1 wasn't feeling pretty good, said
Squills, for I had beeu whitewashed in
tho convention, sold out body, boots
and brooches, and I felt liko a board
yard or a cat with bis back hair turr.od
the wrong sido up.
"Havo you got the election, Squills
dear?"
1 knew sho had seen tho paper but
I said, "No love," as mildly as if elec
tions and all such snares were beneath
my notice
'Not got the election, Mr. Squills?"
"No, Mrs. Squills; not that tbe court
is aware of at tho present writing.
Certainly not."
"Then what do you ex)iect to get
for all tho whiskoy you'vo been pouring
down those fellow's throats ?"
"What fellows' throats ?"
"Your frionds who have "been tramp
ing in and out of the house, Mr. Squills,
and borrowing your poor children's
money, and running you into nil kinds
ot disreptitablo places to hunt up votes,
and sneaking you oft into the country
to barbacues snd other infamous re
sorts, paying for buggies and making
ridiculous remarks, which 1 know you
paid tho reporters to work up into a
speech. A nice thing you have done
lor yourself and mo and tbo poor.cbil
dren, and then after all, not to get any
thing fiir your pains. I'm ashamed of
you, Mr. Squills. If I could afford to
blush for so wretched a being, Squills,
1 wonld blush lor you, but 1 can t, and
what's more I won't. Don't tell me

STRUCT UHE OF A CO WS HORN.
I find that over the brain of the cow,
y Uucklnml, a strong roof of bone is
thrown, in tbe shape of an arch, ao as
to form a substantial foundation for
tho horns. This roof is not solid, but
ib again strengthened below by a series
of bony arches, that are so distributed
us to form a series ol bollow chambers,
thus forming a structure uniting
strength with lightnoss. Iho problem
now is, how to fasten the horn on each
sido onto this buttress. The born itself
must be formed of horn proper, '. t.
hardened hair. In tho rhinoceros wo
find a horn composed entirely of a stolid
mass of what is really a bunch of hair
agglutinated together ; but this kind ot
horn would have boon much too heavy
for the cow'i convenient use. W hat is
to be done? Why, hollow out the
centre of the horn, of course; but stay
this will not do, because bow is tho
horn to be supplied with blood-vessels ?
in tact, how is it to grow ? Lot ui
seo bow it is done by the Great Design
er. t ut tbe born right across wiin a
saw, and you will find inside another
horn, only made ol bono, it tuo sec-
tion is made about one-third of the
way down the length of the horn, you
will bo able to pick out a piece of bone
in the shape of a rone, on which, or
rather round which, tho horn proper
has shaped itself. ' This bono fits tho
cavity with tho greatest accuracy ; it is
as light as tho thinnest paper, and yet
as strong as aconool tm. It is every
where crfbrutod with holes, which in
life contained the nerves, the veins, and
arteries, and we know that a cow has
all these in her horns; nerves, proved
by the fact that cows do not liko their
hoinstonched,and that thoy can scratch
a fly off their hides with ths tip of the
hoi ii r arteries and veins, proved by tho
fhet that a horn, whon broken, will
bleed, and that tho horn of a living cow
tools nulto warm when held in the bund
besides which the nerves and arteries
form a nninn between the internal core
of bone and tho external covering of
horn proper. .
If we now cut the rest of the born
into sections, we shall find that the in
side of the bony part is ronlly hollow,
but that very strong buttresses ot bone
aim thrown (about every inch or so)
across tho cavity ol tho born in such
a manner as to givo it tho greatest
nossiblo slmnort and strength. 1 hnvo
cut a cow's horn and skull into several
sections to show these buttresses of
bono, and now that tho preparation is
finisheiL I have another specimen to
show that there Is design nnd beauty

Humiliating animals gather their food

ditty to say to his friends that lirothcr
Johnson had worked hard in the good
causo, and though he belonged to an
other church, the brothers should give
according to their means toward tho
support of tbe reverend brother. He
thou took Ins seat, lirothor Johnson
rose and said : "1 feels highly compli

up by somo giving corn, some potatoes,
some turnips, all calling out from their

Johnson seemed pleased at the amount
given, as lar as it went " ow, brothers

going to end there, for I is coming
down here wid a big ox wagon and go

to put these two bushels, nnd these

I near somo one say dcy will givo

caused quite a titter among the brothers

among them who should bring tho hog.
At last ono brother said: lirothcr

FRENCH WORDS WRONOL Y
- USED.
The French worda constantly used
In English are often used wrongly. It
wouloT be Interfiling to know the origin
of calling out encore when wt wish to
hear a pieco of musio over again. It is
juit possil !e that in somo bygone age
the French limy havo done this, but
certainly no living being ever heard a
Frenchman call out anything but "bit"
on these occasions. Then wo havo
adopted the French word morale ; but
il is never used by Englishmen, never
oven by tho most learned historians,
without a blunder. Tho learned his
torians say, lor example, "Wellington
was now determined to carry on the
war a atoutranee, and the moral of his
army was excellent." Both these ox-
Iircssioiii on) blunders, a I'outranee is
iad French; ought to bo a outrance ; but
morale, used in this senso, is still worse,
it is hurdly possible to imagine a more
absurd mistake, and yet it is universally
Erevalcnt among English writers. Tho
istorians mean to sav "tbe moral of
of the anny was excellent," or, in pluin
English that tho men were in a cheer
fully resolute tcinjr, whereas to say
that tho morale of tho army isgisod is to
affirm that its theories of morality aro
sound, or in plain words that the sol
diers aro convinced that they ought
not to commit adultery, etc. I e morale,
used in this way, means mental firm
ness, choerfuluess, courago to fitoe difll
culties ond boar privations without be
ing cast down into low spirits; J-a moral
of a body of men means their theory
moie or less severe, of moral duty and
obligation. Thus a lofty morale may
exist at the sumo timo and in the sumo
person with a low moral. Y'ou may bo
utterly discouraged as to temporal af
fairs, and and you may feel quite cor-"
tain that your wordly position is hope
less, that disease and ruin have you in
their clutches for the rest of your days
on earth, yet nt tho same time your
morale may bo on an elevation and
purity to gladden the angels in Heaven.
The converse is also true. Your moral
may be excellent in the military senso,
that is to say, yon may be merry nnder
fatigue, nnd look deotli in the face with
a careless jest on your lipa, yet havo
such a low morale that you may see no
particular reason for not committing
the seven deadly sins on the first seven
favorable opportunities. Cromwell's
army bad both, tho ideal knight of tho
middle ages, had both, tbe armies of
Napoleon bad one without the other.

Ton Sunders of Buffalo owns a little,
lazy, slow maro, that is the ridiculo of
his friends. Ono recent evening ho
and somo of these friends were talking
of horBos, when ho astonished them by
offering to bet a hundred dollars that
ho could ride his maro ttvonty miles in
an hour. Ho couutod out his money
in a tantalizing way, remarking ihut
his maro bad beeir laughed at long
enough, and be bad made up his mind
to show what sho could do. It seemed
liko robbing Tom, so they all said, to
tako his bet, but ho insisted, and tho
stakes were put into trustworthy hantls,
A day was chosen for tho trial, and
when it enmo Tom led thorn to tho
Central Railroad depot, where tho
homely little maro was found aboard a
baggago car. Tom bad ticketed her
to Rochester by express, and whon tho
train was ready to start he got on her
back smiling triumphantly. Ho said
he reckoned that ho could ride that
way twenty miles in an hour, unless
the time table lied. Away wont tho

watch, and the throo fellows wbo bad

miles hail been run in about half an
hour, anil Tom was grinning in antic
ipation of easy victory, when the car
bumped over something, and ho was
thrown off tho maro by hastily applied
air brakes. An axle had broken, and
tho train was stopjicd for more than an
hour. And Tom was not so rueful
over the loss of the stakes and tho fail
ure of his trick, as ho was over his
stupidity in not thinking ol taking the
maro off tho car and riding the rest of
the twenty miles, as thoro had been
ample time to do within the hour.
A Matter op Importance. A cor
respondent of tbo New Y'ork Sun calls
tho attontiou of all customers of kero
sciio oil to tho pernicious and unhealthy
practico of using lamps filled with thnt
article with tho wicks turned down.

was called particularly to this custom

the arrival of tho King of the Sand

"Have you over seen a king in your

"Yes, air," replied the gentleman:
"I was onco guilty of Seeing three
kings." Then after a moments' pause
