YOUNG LADY WHISTLERS. mal;o tho A girl that reduce it to The Art ofKeilarlnt; Tim Month and Giving the Tuns ue I'lay. New York Herald. J Tho familiar air of "The Mocking J5ird," was whistltid through West 1'orty-sixtli street yestorday morning. A reporter of The Herald, who was passing along tho streut, stopped to Jiiton, for save a pretty young lady standing on a door step, no one was in sight. Still tho twittering and b rd like solo continued to vibrato down the Hook. It was the young lady who was whittling, and the roportur took the liberty of expressing his astonishment to tier. "Wero you whistling?" Loin juirod of the young miisio-niakor. Tho young la ly smiled, turned throa difficult corners in tho tune, worked in a tremolo half a doen birdliko trills, . stopped and answered: "Yes. Why?" "Boettu,so you whistlo so beautifully, and" "Well, I think I ought to," sho inter rnptod. "I've boon taking lessons long enough, and my mouth has grown fivo oighths of an inch smaller since I began to practice rogularly." "You take lessons and your mouth lias grown smaller ?" echoed the re porter. "Yes; you neodn't look as though I was tolling a story. Of course I take lessons. Lots of girls whistla now because it's fashionable" "Then whistling will mouth small '!" ",Why, of courso it will. has a four-inch mouth can threo inches by a regular course of study. .Besides tho puckering of the lips makes thorn fuller and gives t'.iom a nicer color." "llow long doos it taki to dock inch oil' an ordinary s zed mouth?" "Oh, 1 don't know," was the auswor. "A girl must never sing, use large tooth brushes or take I ig biles out of applet Then if she pra.-tiios all the time when she is in the house sho will probably reduce the si.o of her mouth in about two years. Why, I can whistle every thing, even soientitlu sacred music, and you see how small my mouth is. It is difforont from tinging in a choir, The overture from 'Zumpa is perhaps the most difficult selection in my repertoire, it requires so muuh active tongue move ment, but a lino whistler must have a good ear nud good tooth thataro not too widely apart."

Chicago Tribuno Interview with E. A. Thorne.l "What sort of labor is employed in the islands? "Mostly Chincso, and the rest Portu guese, Uerman, and Ivanakas, or natives. The Germans are often thrifty and become overseers. The Portuguese are very good, and are becoming more numerous. Tho Kan a kas are the most reliable, but they are very improvident and are hard to obUin." "lias it not been charged that t species of slavery existed on the plrni' tations with reference to these labor ers?" "It has, but without any foundation whatever. Theso laborers are engaged in the nativo countries to emigrate to tho islands and to work for from 0110 to thrco years after arrival lor wages, in consideration that tho planter who hires them shall pay their fare across the water. This is called 'shipping.' When their time is up if they ngreo to remain for another period with tlieir employer this ulno is called 'shipping. There is a charge made ill this country that these contracts are enforced in such a way as to make them amount substantially to sluvery. 'ut there is not a word of truth in it. There are the same legul means exactly in the islands as in the state of Illinois for enforcing the fulllllment of such a contract on tho part of hired laborers. Thnt is to say, in caso they violate their contract they can bo sued for damages, and if they havo committed fraud they can be arrested and held to bail, and the suit is tried beforo a nativo Kanaka justice at that. Indeed, these remedies are so inadequate that tho planters are in I state of porpetual peril and dissutisfuo tion on account of tho insecurity of their contracts. "How are tho Iaborors treated whilo working out tlieir contract?" "Very humanely indeed. They are cared for just like children. The laws not only forbid slavery, but forbid planter to strike a hired servant." " What of the climate and sten:ry of inn isiiiikis : "The most delightful imaginable. The country is swept by the trade winds.nnd tho temperature is keiit remarkably even and comfortable. Tho themome- ter never gets above ninety degrees, and seventy degrees is tho average the year round. I here are three mouths of sul try weather in tho summer, but the rest of the year is very comfortable. It is also a land of perpetual verdure. Flowers of every hue and shape uro so abundant that you may walk over beds of tliem anywhere. Fruits, also, in endless variety abound everywhere. I could stand on the veranda of my hotel and pick rigs, oranges, bananas," limes, mangoes ami papyas. Hat is more wonderful, there is not a wild animal, a snuke or any kind of reptile in tho country." "Are there no pests of any kind?" "There are some mosquitoes, and from what I heard beforo 1 went there, I expected them to eat me up. Hut I found no more of them than there is in this country, and they gave me no trouble except at one or two places. The only pliiguo I know of in the coun try is the leprosy. This terrible disease is confined to the Kanakas, or natives. it is contagious, but not infectious. It is entiiely painless, but it causes the joints of the body to come apart, so that the hands and feet drop oil'. As soon us a person is taken with it ho is ban ished to tho island of Malakai, which is reserved entirely for tho residence of lepers, and ou which there is a colony of from 400 to 500 of them all tho time. People who uro curious about tho dis ease often go there and wulk through tho hospital w ith impunity. The leper are the most cheerful putiouts in tho world." Hall Mtrert'a Lateat floral. New York I.etler.l A different kind of moral from any that Comstock points is furnished by the latest oollopsii of A Men K. Stock well, once a king of the stock exchange. .Ntookwell's career has been like that of tome others who have floated hich on tue an street wave, aud suddenly coue under. In early lilo ho knocked ubout a good deal iu the west, picking sensitive us a pliotographio plate. op a living in various ways. Drifting eastward later on ho became acquainted with a daughter of Klias Howe, the sowing machine millionaire, and mar ried her. F.ighteon yeartagohe ap peared in Wall street with a capital of j'J.OOO.OUO. He plunged iuto specula tion at once, aud soon became well known. His operations were among the boldest iu tho stieet, and ho rose fast to a loading jiosition. Ho took hold of Pucillo Mail wheu it seemed going to pieces, and carried the stock up from forty to lot), making a couple of millions by the rise. Had he stopped there it would havo been all right. Hut Wall street incu dou't always know when to stop. If hey did there would bo fewer wrecks, ritook well next took up tho Atlantic & Pacilio railroad. That was where he stumbled, tiould was thou getting his Pacific schemes iu shape, and he found Stock well iu his way. Stockwell thought he was jmt at smart as Gould and he would not get out of the woy. (iould set to work to "bust" him, or "knock him out," whichever phrase the rulined reader may prefer. The panio of 1873 struck Stockwell under full tail and keeled him over. Ho tried hard to right himself, but had to give it up. Almott everything he had was swept away. He disapeared from tho range of the publio eye, but he held to his seat in the exchange, and he has sinco car ried on a small business iu a New street o!liee, where he hired desk room. Wall atreot Lad almost forgotten his exist ence when it heard a couple of dart ago that he had faded ou a small contract. It was a matter of ouly 500 that caused the collapse of the man w ho came into "Wall street with $2,000,000 and had made several milliont more. You prob ably see the moral, to I may as well past to something else, , A .ew Telephone, 1'all Mall (iuzette. Mr. Arthur St. George has patented a new telephone, which he asserts possesses advantages superior to those attaching to other telephones. Sun pleinontary to the telephouo itself is a coutrivunco which will, it is stated, not only record every description of couver sution earned on through the nistrii ineut, but will reproduce the words at any future time. A circular plate of glass is coated with collodion and made This is placed iu a dark box, iu which is slit to admit a ray of light.

Vibrations of tho shutter cause tho dark lino to vary in thickness accord ing to tho tone of the voico. Tho glass Iiam revolves iy clockwork, and tho conversation us it leaves tho telephouo is recorded on tho sotisitivo plate, tho worus spoken neing fixed as is done iu photography. The plate can be brought forward afterward, and when replaced in tho machine and conuected with a distaut teleghona will, wheu set iu motion give back the original conversa tion. How a 1'lanUt Avoided a Duel. St. James Gazette.) A duel in which an eminent piuuist was to have taken a leading part is said to nave oeen Happily arranged without loss of life or limb on either side. Au altercation had taken placo at a Paris cate between the said pianist aud a w ell knowu man of fashion, and it at last be came so animated that the latter offered the former his card aud accented one in return. The pianist wait.nl at home the next morning, but heard nothing from his opponent. The day afterward ho met him by chance in the street, and expressed his surprise at what had, or rather at what had not, taken place. "I asked you tho day beforo yesterday," said tho piauist's adversary "for satis faction, and yesterday I received it" ' How so?" o&ked the pianist, more as tonished than ever. "Instead of a visit ing card, you have me a ticket for your coueert," was the reply. "I weut to it, heard vou play, and was nioio than satisfied. A Few Point on HnuX Detroit News. There are three grades of snntT-tho fine, noor and medium. Tho line suti'J is made from the blade of tho tobacco leaf, tno ribs and stems being rejected and grou:id up into the poor grades. The medium grade is composed of the entire leaf, and is the quality of which the greatest amount is sold. Of all grades of snuu" there are tho moist aud dry varieties. The dry sunn" is heaped on earthen plutes after it has been ground, and is exposed to a high degree of heat. The term "high toast" is used to denote the article which has been heuted for a length of time. Moist snuliis made by moistening the snutl which has already been ground, w itli a solution of common suit and allowing it to ferment. The period of fermentation determines tho strength and pungency of the snuff. After the ferment.itiou salt is mixed with the snutl' to prevent its becoming mohlv, roso-wateror other perfumes are added, and sometimes powdered orris root is used t) increase the pungencv of tho article, hniifls are often adulterated with chrome yellow, lime anil carbonate of 11 it.isli, all of which ingredients render the snutl' tin- healthful. Such adulterations can easilv be detected with the microscope. which reveals the peculiar structure of the tobacco leaf as distinguished from that of adulterations. Much snuff used?" was casnallv asked to-dav of a Woolward avenue dealer who sells sever.il of the standard brands of snutl'. Said ' brands, by the wav, are nothing more t.ian common snult' with famous names. Not as much as was sold a few years ago, lie replied. People still con tinue to use it for catarrh and similar ailments, but as a method of using tobacco, Minding is fulling into disre pute. In fact, it is worthy of note that the introduction and widespread use of cigarettes marked tho beginning of the decline, of snutF-tukiiig. Xearlv all mv customers are old people w ho learned the practice in tho old country, and who, whilo they detest it, are so habitu ated to it that they can not give up thoir snuff-box and their maccaboy. The young men who take snuff are nearly all Scotchmen and Polish labor ers. These latter make their own snull", and they often produce a very lino article, winch thev consume m large ipiantities. Every Polack of any menus has a pestle ami mortur iu which he grinds his sunt', and as most of them raise and cure their own tobacco, tho snull is free from nny adulteration. They flavor their snuffs with brandy. Siiufl'-taking has been pr ictieed ever since the introduction of tobacco into Europe, oud its peculiar quality is said to have been d scovered by accident. At first only fops used it, and to do scribe a fop without sneaking of his snuff-box was considered a fatal omis sion. I bus Hotspur, speaking of a fop, says that between his ringers he held a pouneet-box, which ever and anon ho gave his nose." The custom of snuff- taking is evidently a continuation of the rage for odors oud perfumes which was prevalent in by-gone davs, and like it, suuu-tukmg is dying out. Marred Cattle. fPmf.

The Urave or Journnllom. PARIS' FAVORITE DENTIST. From a Mhop In Pennsylvania to the Court of Kranee.-Kvaua' Lurk. Cleveland Leader. 1 Charles Howard, the millionaire of Vermont, is to leave l,00ii,000 to his niece, Mrs. Evans, the wife of the rich Parisian dentist. Evans is already teveral timet a millionaire, and this will be a pretty addition to his fortune, ivhich is increasing at tho rate of hun dreds of thousands yearly. It is gen erally supposed that he made the most of his fortune in filling teeth. Hut this is a mistake, as the following talk with one of the old dentists in the I'nited States, a man who was years ago con nected with one of tho imperial courts of Europe, will show : "Dr. Evans sud the gentleman, "was born in Lancaster county, Penn sylvania, and he started lilo us a jeweler's apprentice in Lancaster, the same town in wnicu iiuciiiimin negau lifo as a young lawyer. d wYnt to Paris as a dentist in a few yours." " When did Evans become court den tist"" "I do not know the time. lie says, I understand, he was filling Eugenie's teeth when Louis Nanoleon came to hit office for some dentil work, and that here the two met, and from that meet ing afterward sprang their marriage. Napoleon owed much to Evans in many ways. You know ho saved the lifo of Eugenio one night as sho lelt the grand opera h'uiso, aud an attempt was made to assassinate Napoleon by throwing hand grenades, no afterwards aided Eugenio in escaping to England, and went with her in lSiO. At this time every ono else Jiad deserted the emiire-s, and she ted to Dr. Evans' house. The doctor's wife was at tho soi shore, and Eugenie dressed iu Mrs. i.vuns' cloth ing, was passod off by Evans as his wife, and drivon m his own carnage to the Norman coast. Thonco they got a boat to J-.nglund. "lr. Evans," this g.mtlonian went on "is worth several millions, and he has a grand pulace in Pans His office prao tice in tho Hue de la Paix nets him $150,000 a year, but this is not how he lias made tho most of las money. hen Napoleon was president of the republic ho was quito poor. He died very wealthy, and much of his money was made through Evans. Napoleon knew what action was going to be taken on public matters, and he also know how this would effect stocks. If he could uso his information iu buying and sell ing ho could make largo sums easily. Hut it would not do for Napoleon to be connected with a broker, ihero must be some trusty go-between, added to a safe banker. Evans, I am told by good authority, was the go-between, and his position as dentist enabled him to do it to tho best advantage. He had aco.'si to Napoleon at all hours, and he was the only one who could take precedence over the cabinet and every ono else. He attended him at Ins toilet at o o clock in the morning, and was ou as close terms with Eugenie as with Lou s Na poleou. "Ono day Eugenie said to him, 'Dr. Evans, at ll o'clock to-morrow uu order will be issued withdrawing the French irocps irom uome. avails at once weut to the broker and invested in cer tain socurities which ho kuew would bo affected. At 12 o'clock the next duv. alter tho order was issued, these securi ties weut up like a shot, ami Evans made $ti0,00l). Of course, Eugenie came in for her share of her piu money." Kiimlmm CornwaJlUin Manhattan Journalism is truly tho bottomless well which swallows up the literary genius and talent of America the "mute inglorious Miltous" who pass from tho cradle to tho grave of tlieir newspaper career under the impenetra ble veil of tho anonymous, a screen thnt allows no acope for tho gratification of a laudable ambition. It is onlv where tho anonymous system does not oxist, as, for instance, in France, where every w riter appends his own uanie.or liisnom do plume, to his articles, that journalism offers a fair field to literary men who are not content to forever hide their light under a bushel to be, in a certain sense, uiried alive instead of being acknowledged leaders of thought aud action. It is no exaggeration to sav that more men of genius aro buried alive on the press in this country than . in any other in the world. A mero salaried writer on tho staff nf a leading Amerieaa newspaper is prac tically not permitted to shiue. even a. a glow-worm. He has, in fact, no more opportunity to become known, or to do anythirg inconsistent with diligence with bis tread-null work behind the eenea than he has of amassing "wealth beyond the dreams of avarice" out of his commonly scanty salary. I Killing the Killer. London Glob.'. Last night a cleverly executed scheme deceiving a large number of gentlemen was consummated at tho Hayniarket theatre. About teu days back, it ap pears, each received a missive, in a lady's handwriting, which ran as fol lows : "The writer of this is anxious to have the pleasure of meeting you. She will be at the Hayniarket theatre on Tuesday, 11th of March not. If you will be in the stalls you will not fail to recognize her; but to show that this meeting is agreeable, will you wear a button-hole of violets and lilies of the valley, and she will wear scarlet gera niums." So successful was this letter, that two advertisements in the "agony" column of Tho times requested the lady to send her addies in coutideneo. About N o'clock last evening tho first victim appeared ou the scene. Gal lantly, yet cautiously, he looked round for the lair unknown, when to his dis may he noticed other men dropping in, one by one, all bearing t'le t.oial sign. Men came from Aldershot, from Brigh ton, and from the country, many of thorn wearing the scarlet geraniums in placo of the Parma violets, which mode them the more conspicuous. It wai not long before the Uancroft exchequer was enriched by the appearanod of at least sixty victims, many of whom were acute enough to hide their flowers iu their hats, to bo assumed if the fair wearer of scarlet should be discerned. Hefore the end of the first act it was very patent thuf a "sell" of the first water had been perpetrated; two noble lords, the chief character in au Irish breach of promise cose, and others equally well known being among tho gay Lotharios. The dress c.rclo was full of men who, having received lottert themselves, hod compared notes, and detecting the joke, secured this coign of vantage to enjoy tho a.ene. It was not necessary to look very far for thosa by whom the scheme was originated. A certain stogo-box was gra?ed by the presence of a well-known form, and the party took tho keenest interest in the successive entries of tho lady killers. Cetewayo'K Death. Chicago Herald. Just beforo t'etewsvo died he sent the following dispatch to Mr. Grant, his late alviser: "Durban-1 am dy ing. I ay so. Tell my European friends that I am dead forever. I leave I'd.nuulu (Cctewayo's son) in my place. This must be commuuicatad to (Jueen Victoria." I'etewayo, like the lamented lirown, had a real though dis interested affection for the queen, w hom he regarded as a sort of mother to him. An Important Chnrrh Document Chicago Times. A book was known to the early fathers of the Christian church called "Teachings of the Apostles." It was quoted by Clomont of Alexandria as a portion of holy scripture. Eusebius knew of it, and classified it with certain other important but not strictly sacred writings. Athanasius doet the same, saying that, while it was not strictly canonical, it was one of the books ap pointed to be read by catechumous. That book was lost, and nothing known of it by moderns beyond the quotations alluded to above and the general char acter it sustained. Singularly enough, this book, which belonged to an age which without it is poor in authentic Christian docu ments, the first half of the second century has, after so loner and so boneless ai oblivion, come to light again. It lias just been given to the world by the ac complished metropolitan uisop oi Nicomcdia, Philotheos Hryennios. Its geuuineness has been inquired into with great care by best experts in that lino of Christian antiquities and firmly ap proved. It not only belongs to tho oldest documents of the Gentile church, but it is itself the oldest book of church order that is known. This is its peculiar value, hether written in Syria or Egypt can not be determined, but it is believed that it will henceforth be the chief authority in determining tho or ganization of the Apostolical church, especially us to the status of "prophets," "touchors," "bishops" and "doaconi." It is a small book, about tho length of the epistle to the Galatiuns. The first half of it contains nothing that is not somewhere cited iu the writings of tho futhere. Tho second half is measur ably new. In its entirety it isprobally tho very beginning of the whole body of literature in tho Oriental church. It treats of baptism, the eucharist, Ihe signs of a true prophet, the choosinf of bishops and deacons, the discipline of tho heart and life, and the observance of tho Lord's day. Whether this jew book, breaking in upon the chtroh from the time immediately succeoting the apostles, will reopen old contro versies, it is, perhaps, too early to-iay. It is not yet translated into the lug lish language. What is known d it hero is through tho German versiai of Prof. Harnock. 0UB ANCESTORS' SEEVI. The Heeret of Their Vnunu VK01.

It was well know n through the middle and west ern states and was acknowled as the best preparation for malarial disorders and general debility then known. The recipe for compounding this valuable article was handed down from one family and genera tion to another, was known to the Harri son family and is used as the basis and general formula for the present "Tippe canoe," the name being suggested by the battle in which General Harrison was en gaged. The manufacturers have thor oughly investigated this subject in its minutest details, and are certain that for mal-assimilution of food, dyspepsia, tired feelings, general debilitv, prostrations, malurial disorders and humors in the blood, nothing can exceed in value "Tip pecanoe," which was the medicine of our forefathers and seems destined to be the most popular preparation of the day. "Tippecanoe" is prepared and given to the public by Messrs. II. H. Warner & Co., of Ilochester, N.

The well known standing of this house is a sufficient guarantee of the purity and power of this preparation which seeks to banish one of the greatest banes of the nineteenth centurv ninl-as. similation of food.
