GOUQH'S BOYHOOD. Hrenes In the Karly Life of the t'a- mvusj Tcmurranne Lecturer. . Hnrah K. Ilolton in Wide Awake.l His life hud boon a peculiarly Litter one.

Then, again and again, she pressed v lier only boy to her heart, and stole out behind the garden wall, that, umb served, she might east a lust look at tho stage which carried mm to London, Ths voyago was a long one of nearly two months. The little lad often cried in his cabin, and ho wrote buck. "I wish mother could wash tue to night," show ing what a temlor "mothers boy he was. When New York harbor was en torod, and be was eager to seo his adopted country, he was sent below to black boots and shoos for tho family. His school days wero now over. After two years of hard work in tho country, ho sold his knife to buy a post age stamp, aud wrote his father, asking his permission to go to New York aud learn a trade. Consent wus given, nml, in the middlo of the winter, our English lad of 14 reached the great city, with no friends, and only 50 cents in Lis, pocket. Hundreds passed by as bo stood ou tho dock, holding his little trunk in bis bauds, but no one spoke to him.

How bis employer supposed be could live on $1 a month, for cloth's and washing, has never appeared. The first night bo was pla 'od by his boarding mistress in an attic, with an Irishman who was deathly ill.

When thev arrived. tfvo rooms were rented ; the girl found work in a straw bonnet factory, and, poor though they were, thoy wore very happy.

At tho end of threo months, through dullness of business, both ohildreu lost their places ; aud now legau the strutr cles which the poor know so Moll in our large cities, They left their two decent rooms, and moved into a garret. Winter came on and they had neither fuel nor food, John walked miles out into tho country, and dragged homo old sticks which lay ny ine roausuio. lie pawned bis coat, that the mother, who had now become ill, might have some mutton broth.

A writer in our esteemed contem porary, Cotton, Wool, and Iron, thinks that our pattern designers for fabrics have not kept pace with loom building. Novelties in fabrics are very rare; wo imitate foreign makers too much, and if we accidentally drop on something new m mutating, we then imitate each other. Most of us are satisfied if we do as well as soma who have gone before us. There ere not enough whoso ambition leads them to "look beyond," to reach into untrodden fields. I or ten years past tho progress in fie building of fancy cassimere looms bus been wonder ful, and tho loom maker of hwlsv can snv. with a feeling that he csn till the bill, "If you don't see what you want, usk for it.' Wo do not believe the same feeling holds good with our designer, who has a chance to-day unknown to the designer of years aw. lie has a loom on which he can do most anything; bo has yarns of silk, worsted, jute, niohair, etc. which be can combine in cntirolv new fabrics, if ho would only "look beyond" and step into untrodden fields. Don't imagine that yon must do only just what has been dono beforo, but try something entirely new. If yon get a new fabric don t be set back by any commission man, for they aro only mor tal, and as liable to err as any set of men we ever had to deal with. If you get a new thing, make enough for a gar ment, and according to what that gar ment is to be, go to the most fashionable maker and get his opinion. If he ob jects, and you are satislied you have a good thing, then go to some loader of fashion and persnudo them to wear the garment. lon't give up. l'emember that a new fabric is the same at any new invention, and that a new invention often takes a lifetime to perfect it. Do not get discourngod, but persevere: combine new materials and make a bold stroke for novelty. jiood-.atured Jlary Andersen. Chicago Tribune.

The Tlrkel-Axeat'a, th Conductor' and the Itrakenian'a Hide of the question. Louisville Courier-Journal. It is a popular belief among people who travel but little that everybody connected with the operation of a rail rood train is cross and impolite nover giving a civil answer to a civil question, and nover caring whether "school keeps or not." This is a mistake. Hocaue the ticket agent answers your question : "Will you please to.l me what time the train starts for Hlunkvil.'e, end which car must I take?' with a pluin "!:4j; first car;" it is not a sign of ill-breeding, or surliness. He will be asked that sumo quedion perhaps 100 times before the Hlunkvillo accommodation starts, besides any number of others that have no connection whatever with mm or the train and be knows it. His time is valuable, and ho puts his answer in tho fewest words possible m ordor to econo mize time and save breath. And then tho brakeman is not a fiend in human shape, whose main object in life is to mystify and render miserable the unsuspecting uncommercial trav eler. The brukeman gonerally receives the smallest pay and does the hardest work on the tram. hon the locomo tive "slips an eccentric," or the sleeping car gets a hot box, it is his duty to run back a mile or two through the snow to flag the freight, which is following at a comparatively short distance. At the station he helps juggle your bnggage, and on the car ho must "on brakes" at the dowu grado, "on brakes" at the crossing, aud "on brakes" at the stop. He answers your question as to "where we arc hurriedly, because ho is al ways in a hurry; and lor the same reason he suddenly sticks his head in the door and calls, "Humboldtlandin- chungokyarfurMemphis," then bobs out egum. Jhs is a hard lot, and he seldom remains with the company long enough to accumulate a fortune and end his days in luxury and ease. n hen tho conductor asks you two or three times during a short journey for your tickot it is not for pure cussed- ness or because he thinks you are steal ing a ride. On him alono rests the responsibility for the safety of the entire train. He knows that his train must meet No. H at a given point; that be Is behind, and that No. 10 freight is less than an hour behind him. All this weighs heavily upon him, and it keeps his mind fully occupied. Hut of course there aro men in the business who have not the breeding of an English sparrow- and who would sooner offer an insult than give a civil answer. These are not the rule, but simply the necessary exceptions which go to make the rule good. The llandahaklni; Art. Buffalo Express. President Arthur is said to have suf fered so much from the prevalent cus tom of shaking hands that he has made the subject a study and has reduced it to a fine art. This art is simple in plan and surprising in effect, but inoffensive. YA hen the president sees a man commz at him for tho usual salutation he stands impassive, with his bands at bis sides, until his friend reaches him. Then the president, by a quick movement, seizes the extended band, shakes it, and drops it before the handshaker is fully aware what has happened. Hv this dexterity the president escapes having his hand wrung until the bones crack a process which, repeated B 'veral hundred times in a day, is naturally painful. i'remilont Arthur s plan of handshak ing will doubtless bo copied without credit by some other public men, but not generally. X lie most of them have larger hands than the president, and have not so much cause to fear Biiuee.o. For others the method is not cordial enough. Mr. Hlaino, though he lias a mcdium-sixed hand, prevents its being squeezed by seizing his friend's hand in both his own, and is thus able to do what be chooses with it. l'resident (!arHeld used to have the habit also practiced by some others, of taking bis friends hand lightly. adroitly giving him a vigorous slap on the back, and then withdrawing bis band before the victim bad recovered from his surprise. As no visitor ever dared to slap back, this plan seemed to work very well indeed. It indicated sufficient cordiality, saved the presi dent's band, and at the same time the exercise of slapping kept him in good noaitn. What a Detective Dlnrovere la Ills Own Family.

Judge Poland, representative In congress from Vonnout, is said to bear a resemblance to portraits of George Washington, and the likeness is increased by his antiquated style of dress. One day, according to a Troy Times correspondent, he was in the east room of the White House with some friends from Vermont The room was made dim by heavy curtains. A comfortable-looking Quaker, with his wife and two children, en tered the further end in their sight-seeing rounds. In a corner near the judge stood full-length picture-frame leaning against the wall. "Get behind that frame," said one of party, "and we'll tell these people that it's a picture of Washington." The judge stepped briskly Into place. Blowly the Quaker and his brood came down the great room, he pointing out the pictures on the. wall, "w hat's that!" he demanded, pointing toward the judge. "That's Wash inirton," he was answered. "Do not go near. The painting is just finished and must not be touched."

Louisville Commercial. A practical test of Joe Mulhattan's dude anuihilator was made at Mawi ley's theatre lost night As usual, the dudes posted them selves along the walls of the vestibule to stare the audience out of countenance as they emerged from the theatre. About that time Eugene Elrod, the well-known fire plug, placed a small quantity of dynamite in the anuihilator and touched a secret spring. There was a flash, a loud report, and the air was tilled with a mangled mass of dudes, who wero completely pulverized and floated off into space beyond the earth's attraction, probably to form the tail of a comet, or sometliiug of that sort The test was en tirely satisfactory. Not a dude escaped. All stood with their backs to the wad of the vestibule and were annihilated. A balloon will be sent out at once to discover if possi ble their remains, even in a pulverized state, and bring them back here for burial, but it is feared the effort will be a fruitless one.

Catarrh is a muco purulent discharge caused by the presence an development of the vegetable parasite anueba iu the in Urnal lining membrane of the nose. This parasite is only developed under favorable circumstances, aud these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the blighted cor puscle of ubercle, the germ poison of sy. philis, mercury, toxonura, from the reten tion of tho ell'eted matter of the skin, sup. pressed perspiration, badly ventilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are germinated in the blood. These poisons keep the internal lining mem brane of the nose in a constant state of Irritation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds of these germs, which spread up the nostrils and down the fauces, or back of the throat causing ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness; bur rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarse ness; usurping the proper structure of the bronchial ti.besending In pujmonary con sumption and death. Many attempts have been made to dis cover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and other ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the parasitea are either destroyed or removed from the mucus tissue. Some time since a well known physician of forty years' standing, after much expe rimenting, succeeded in discovering the necessary combination of ingredients which never full in absolutely and perma nently eradicating this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or for forty years.
