From the Saturday Review.
In the high and difficult art of speak
ing the truth, silence is to speech, what
shadow is to light. So to place one's
silence as to increase the amount of
truth conveyed is as important a part of
sincerity as chiaroscuro is of painting.
It is not only that sile nce in many! cases
bears so obvious an interpretation! that
it is just as easy and just as dishonest to
deny the truth by silence as by Words.
The importance of disci etion in abstain
ing from words lies in this, that truth
requires not merely that what we say or
imply shall not be inconsistent with
facts. It requires (in its , perfection)
that the impressions we convey jshall
correspond with reality as a good j por
trait corresponds with its subject ;j that
the proportions shall be preserved and
the relations with surrounding objects
truly indicated. We Bee this at once in
thinking of the truth of history!. 1 A
writer who gives undue prominence to
one set of facts, or to some favorite per
sonage, distorts and misleads as surelv
as he could do by definite inaccuracies of
statements, and often in a much
important sense. And so in that con-
tiuual presentation of the affairs of
idaily
life in which we are all engaged, to
alter
the proportion of things ly unavkwed
reticence is a more subtle and morei dan
gerous kind of untruthfulness
mere verbal inaccuracy. The fact is
that we do not take a sufficiently ilarge
view, of truth. We do not consider
enough how deep and wide a foundation
of patient thought, of forbearing justice
and clear-sighted generosity must be
laid before a perfectly transparent sur
face can be even possible. Perfect sin
cerity is the result of a deep inward or
der, in which the true relation of things
are grasped so firmly that our words,
our silence, and everything else which
goes to make up our intercourse with
each other, fall into their right places
without an effort For silence has its
right place as well as speech. There are
subjects veiled by natural delicacy, and
facts marked off by confidential barriers,
and trifles with a healty mind shakes off
like dust, and wounds to be gentlv
shielded, and delightful discoveries to
be reserved for favored explorers, and
: many other spots sacred to silence. The
question is, how to combine the perfect
preservation of these sanctuaries with
the openness which inspires perfect
trust. We can no more confide in one
whose mind seems to be full of dark
places than in one who lays everything
bare. We look to a friend for sheltering
wings to brood over our confidences, not
for magpie tricks of concealment.
The Oldest Couple. A Gallipolis
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
thus calls attention to two very inter
esting relics of the last century : "There
is probably now in the Gallia County
Infirmity the oldest married couple in
the United States namely, William J.
Davis and Lucy Ann Davis, both of
whom were born in Pennsylvania, the
old gent being born on November 30,
1771, and the old lady on February 19,
1778, both being over 100 years old.
They each have been married twice be
fore. He is living with his third wife.
and she with her third husband. They j
have been living together 43 years, or j
nearly half a century. Ihey are both
hale and hearty, and bid fair to live for
'20 years yet. The old man is a little
deaf, but with that exception they are
both in possession of their full faculties.
The old lady even reads without the ni !
of glasses, On Sunday, Novenitor 10th, j
they walked two miles to call on a
ftnd, and were little fatigued by the
cxtion. Four years ago they walked
from here to Jackson, a distance of 32
miles, in two days. The old man has
never been sick a day in his life, and as
yet has never taken a dose of medicine.
He is addicted to the use of tobacco,
but his teeth are in a remarkable state
of preservation." The above is a posi
tive fact, and can be substantiated. We
challenge any State in the Union to
produce their equal.

"It was "told that Colonel Andrew
M'DowalL, when he returned from the
war, was one day walking along by The
Myroch, when he came on an old man
sitting greetin on a muckle stain at the
roadside. When he came up the old
man came up the bid man took off his
bonnet, and said:
" i e're welcome hame again, laird."
"Thank you," said the colonel, after a
pause, f'l should surely know your face,
Aren't you Nathan MrCullochF
"Ye're richt, 'deed," says Nathan,
"it's just me, laird."
"You must be a' good age, now,
Nathan," says the colonel.
"I'm no verra aul' yet, laird," was the
reply; 'I'm just tumt a hunnner.
"A hundred!" says the colonel, , mus
ing; "well, you must be all that. But
the idea of a man of a hundred sitting
blubbering that way! What ever could
you get to cry about"
"It was my father lashed me, sir,"
said Nathan, bubbering again; "an he
put me dot, so he did."
"Your father!" said the colonel, "is
your father alive yet?'
"Leeven' ay," replied Nathan: I ken
toat the day tae my sorrow."
"W here is her says the colonel.
"What-an age he must be! I would!
like to see him."
"Oh, he's up inthe bam there," says
Nathan; "an' no .in a horrid gude hu
mor the noo, aither."
They went up to the barn together,
and found the father busy threshing the
barley with the big flail and tearing on
fearful. Seeing Nathan and the laird
coming in, he stopped and saluted the
colonel, who, after inquiring how he
was, asked him what he had struck
Nathan for.
"The young rascal'.' says the father,
there's nae doom, wi'him; he's never out
of mischief. I had tae lick him this

The l'eacock Hall oi Delhi.
Peculiarly set apart' for the reception
of nobility is a quadrangle of moderate
dimensions.' The building is a very
beautiful pavilion of white marble, sup
ported on massive pillars ot ne same
material, the whole of which, with the
connecting arches, is richly ornamented
with flowers of inlaid mosaic Work of
different colored stones and gilding. It
is raised on a ten ace four feef high, the
floor ot which is composed -ot flags ot
white marble. Between each of the
front row of pillars is a ballustrade of
marble, chastely carved in several de
signs of perforated work. The top of
the building is ornamented with four
marble pavilions with gilt cupolas. The
ceiling of the pavilion was originally
covered with filigree work; but in 1799
tbf Mahrattas, at'ter a capture of the
city, took tha silver down and melted it,
the value of the same being estimated
at nearly a million dollars. In the cor
nice at each end of the interior hall is
sculptured in letters of gold,Uii the Per
sian language: "If there is a paradise
on earth, it is this." In this hail was
the famous peacock throne, so-called
from its having "the figures of two pea
cocks standing behind it, their tails
being expanded, and the whole so inlaid
with sapphires, rubbies, emeialds, pearls
and other precious stones of appropriate
colors, so as to represent life. The
throne itself is six fet long by four
feet broad. It stood on six massive
feet, which, with the body, were of solid
gold, inlaid with rubies, emeralds and
diamonds. It was surmounted by a
canopy of gold supported by twelve
pillars, all richly emblazoned with
costly gems, and a fringe of pearls orna
mented the borders of the canopy. Be
tween the two peacocks stood the figure
of a parrot, of the ordinary size, said
to have been carved out of a single em
erald. On either side of the throne
stood a chatt't or umbrella, one of the
Oriental emblems of royality. They
were made of crimson velvet, richly
embroidered and fringed with pearls,
The handles were eight feet long, of
solid gold, and studded with diamonds.
The cost of this superb work of art has
been variously stated at sums varying
from 1,000,000 to 80,000,000. It was
planned and executed under the super
vision o f Austin de Beadeaux. Bere

Boot Flirtation. The handkerchief
and jdove flirtations have done good ser
vice in their way, but they are only for
the use of lovers and young people. For
some time there has been a great want
of something of the kind to fit tramps.
A fertile brained genius in this city has
got up a boot flirtation, intended espe
cially for those who are pestered by
tramps. It runs something like tins :
One step forward Tramp beware.
Two steps forward Cut your story
short.
Bight foot lifted a few inches from
the ground I have nothing for you.
Bight fxt extended backward Get
outside the gate.
Right foot brought swiftly forward
'and planted firmly under coat tail of
tramp Leave the premises instantly,
and advise all your friends to steer clear
of this house.
It may be well to state that the flir
tition cannot be carried out with success
unless the tramp is much smaller than
you are. In following the directions
alwve given it should be boi-ne in mind
that the paper is in no W'ay responsible
for any damages. Ex,

But a short time ago the world was
startled by the deadly effects of the tor
pedo; and as this fearful engine of nal
warfare is every day arriving at a great
er state of perfection, it bids fair before
long to completely drive out of the field
our costly iroiicladstj We cease, how
ever, to marvel at the torpedo, when we
hear of the latest discovery in scientific
warfare namely, a submarine -boat.
This boat, named oi the designer of the
"Garrett" torpedo boat, can be made to
sink, rise, move forward or backward,
above or below the surface, at the will
of the manipulator. It is cigar shaped,
running to a point at each end, in length
about fourteen feet, and in width about
five feet. It is constructed of iron plates
nearly a quarter of an inch in thickness,
and the weight of the boat, including
ballast, is about five tons. It is pro
pelled by means of a four-bladed screw,
worked irom within by an ingenious
combination of treadle and fly-wheel,
and is steered by means of an ordinary
rudder. The boat is balanced evenly by
means of a leaden keel, nearly two feet
broad and weighing about two tons.
Access is trained to the interior of the
boat by means of a little square tower
rising from the' center of the ciarir to :
height of about two feet. Once within
and having closed this manhole, the op
erator can descend when he pleases. At
each end of the boat is placed a water
tank, and it is by means of these tanks
that he descends and ascends at will. If
he wishes to descend he turns a small
tap, and this filling the above mentioned
tanks with water, the boat naturally
sinks; when he desires to rise to the
surface, he makes use of an air-pump,
and, expelling the water, restores the
buoyancy of the boat. In the sides of
the above mentioned tower are four
little windows, and, in addition, two
small brass caps. They are flanked in
ternally by a long kind of stocking, of
stout waterproof material. The caps
beinit removed, these stockings fill with
water, and, by turning them inside out
and using each as a glove, the operator
gets the free use of his arms outside the
boat to work his torpedo. In addition
to working the bout, the submarine trav
eler iiis to keep himself supplied with
pure air. The breath which he exhales
passes by means of a tube through a
kiucLof knapsack containing a mixture
of chemicals, and by this means is pur
ified sufficiently to be fit to enter the
lungs again. The boat is, oi course,
lighted by electricity, as gas would in
crease the impurity or the atmosnlmi
A series of experiments took place a
short time ago with the boat in question
and were, we were given to understand,
highly successful. The present speed of
the boat is only four or fve knots an
hour, f but Dr. Garrett contemplates
building a boat much larger- size,
capable of accommodating three or four
men, ami nas a scheme in view tor in
creasing the power of propulsion of the
bout.
Bringing up 'Hoys in Knoware.
The streets were clean as a new pin,
and mortal still, though you could hear
little folks laughin' and craeklin' in the
cool gardens and pleasant houses by the
side of the way.
"Where air your public schools;," sez
"Here," sez he, stopping before a long
low house, like a shed some, that seemed
to be fixed up with rows o' hogsheads,
among which several men was steppin'
round and tonkin' out loud, one at a
time; "there's theschool."
"But I don't see no children."
"No; you can't see through a mill
stone no more'n the nxt man. We
head up the boys at six year old in big
barrels, and feed an' eddooeate 'em
through the bung hole till the age of 20.
They're extension barrels, so'st the l&vs
can grow."
I was took aback. I was kinder
rilled, "What!" sez I, "all you boys in
barrels! None o' them things folks lay
sech stress on in teachers' conventions
no home influences, no manly sports, no
everiastin' friendships, no Sunday schools,
no " Here I sort o' give in; breath
seeinea to peter out. but lie took up
the talk:
uNo, sir! Cats and piars and chick
ens live out all their days in puace here;
nobody's a tyrant over mother and the
gins ironi uawn to dark; no broken
bones nor cracked skulls. Our bovs
don't never get drowned, Mowed up with
powder, tangled up in burr saws, split
with hatchets, spilled off'n horses, run
over in the streets, nor jammed to bits
under fire engines. We don't have boys
swearin' and spittin' on every street cor
ner, strain' their backs a boat racin' and
their temper bettin' on no colleges to
upset their manners and morals, and let
'em herd together like wine, and then
tumiu' off 'em loose on a world lyin' in
wickedness, as our old parson used to
call it. Nobody heres killed at base
ball, nor mangled nuther. Marbles, pea
nuts and tire crackers never pester us.
We have peace."
'dlow delightful!" sez I, kinder invol
untary. "More'n all that, we don't never, have
lio divorces. Them boys come out at
20 year old so orfuriueek and pleasant
and grateful, their wives don't have no
trouble with 'em at all."

CORUK8PONDENCE INVITED.
A Happy C'extexariax. A light-
"hearted centenarian cracked her last
joke in a Detroit hospital, one day last
week, and with a smile on her withered
face passed thence to another and possi
bly a more serious world. Her name
was Margaret Eagan and her age one
hundred and two. She had lived so
long that her relatives had lost sight of
her, for although she had grandchildren
who were well-to-do, she was suffered to
end her days as a pensioner of the Little
bisters ot the Poor. But she did not
droop and lose her spirits. She was as
happy as the day was long. She used
to sing, tell stones, and even dance for
the crones in the hospital. Every day
she would stroll into the infirmary with
a 'big jewsharp and sit theie for hours
playing uncertain jigs and rickety reels,
and contriving to bring back to wan
cheeks the flush of excitement and to
dull eyes the light of other days. Only
five days before her death she enter
tained her companions in this way, and
during her illness she amused herself
with her jewsharp, joking, laughing.'
singing, whistling find smiling, like a
girl of sixteen. A few hours before
her death the little old lady remarked to
the doctor: "I'm strong and hearty
and shall live to a good old age." It
was her last joke. It is notevery cen
tarian who can trip through the Valley
of the Shadow, keeping step to the
creaking j ingle of a rusty jewsharp.
