Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett and his affi-j anced wife, Lady Burdett-Coutts, as scon riding together, caused Olive Togan to write to the Philadelphia Times as follows: “What a contrast! He a fresh, blooming youth of eight-and-twenty, erect, gay, the full sap of life hounding freely through his veins, attested by his sparkling eye, his peachy cheek, his ruby lip; she, shrivelled unto decrepitude, dressed sensibly, as befits her age, in a black poke bonnet, beside whose sombre lack of style the headgear of some Quakeresses is gay and extravagant in form and color; her shoulders wrapped in a dark woolen shawl." The Rev. Dr. W. F. Camp is a Methodist divine of considerable celebrity in the \\ est. He had congregations in St. Louis and other important cities, his last assignment being Lexington 310. It was announced, a few months ago, that sudden illness had compelled him to go to a distant hospital for treatment. On returning to his home, he made a speech in a temperance meeting, confessing that he had been an inveterate, opium eater, and that lie had spent his vacation in an inebriate asylum. He said that he began taking the drug thirty years ago in small doses, and gradually increased the quantities until he consumed 25 grains a day, together with a great deal of whiskey. “The milk is the white blood,” says the Chinaman, and on this ground they abhor using milk and all the product.-, of the dairy. In some stores of the largest cities there is milk for sale, but it is not the milk of beasts and is used for babes and old persons. Those of the European residents who insist upon getting milk for their coffee, commonly get that of swine. “A Frenchman,” says a French magazine, “who lived in China with his family kept his own cow. His servant, a Chinaman, stole the milk in order to sell it to Europeans. At last his thefts were discovered, and he was forced to drink the cow s milk. That was the most dreadful punishment to which a Chinaman could be subjected, and that servant neverdared to steal the milk afterward.” M. Sagnier writes in the Econoniixte Francaisi . that each international exposition since that in London in 1862 lias proved the great advance in the methods of vine culture in Spain. The consumption of wine per inhabitant in Spain is scarcely half that of the individual Frenchman, and the exports have of late years increased enormously. In 1869 they reached 1,857,842 hectolitres; in 1874 2,117,598; in 1878. 2,672,168. While Spain sends immense quantities of wine to France, France sends scarcely any in comparison to Spain. Os the wine sent bySpain to France, France has herself consumed about half the remainder, the United States and South America took the bulk. Much of the so-called French claret drunk here is really Spanish, and is sent to France with the view of getting the Bordeaux Custom House brand. Some of the features of Taxation in Ergland are peculiarly- just and desirable. If anybody leaves you SSOO you have to pav $lO, and if lie dies without a will, you will have to pay sls to get this • SSOO. The Government fee on a §50,000 legacy issl.o4o. and sl. 500 if there be no will, ami if the legacy be $1,000,000, then the Queen s fee is $77,500, or, without a will more than SIOO,OOO. If you study and become a barrister, the admission costs you 250, or as much as you are likely to earn the first year. When you grad- i uate in medicine you pay SSO. If you become a mere notary public to admin- , ister oaths it costs you §l5O. \\ hen you execute a lease to rent your house for anything above $l5O a year, you pay seventy cents. If you want aims and crest on your carriage, you pay sll, i * in ’ and if you get these arms “granted to , you. and in a measure fully recognized, | I you have to pay SSO license. One ' carriage is taxed sll a year. N our > dog costs $1,25 a year. For a license to carry a gun you pay $2,50. Ihe , ’ tax for every male servant is $4. Our farmers and owners of stock now have a chance to procure a copy of Navin’s Explanatory Stock Doctor, now being canvassed for in Adams county by Mr. J. Baxter, who is the authorized agent.
