GANG RULE IN LONDON.

Part* of the City Given Over to Young RnfWann The whole of the very large district extending from Duncan terrace, south of the Angel, Islington, around to King’s Cross, northward, and on by Guilford street, to the borders of the “holy land” of Russell«nd the adjoining squares, writes a correspondent to the London Standard, is infested —and has been for years—with both day and night ruffianism. This composition of it takes the form of gangs of “unlicked cubs” of from 14 to 20 years of age, whose fond amusement is to pelt people with hard clay, and break. he windows with stones. Neither man, woman, nor child can escape them. If they are remonstrated with by a passer-by, they at once follow him, felling in his ears the now established boy yell of the streets; and if he happens to reside near their meeting quarters, they wait for him every time he goes into or leaves his house. Our correspondent knows an elderly gentleman who has been persecuted—tortured is a more correct expression—in this w T ay for many months; indeed, to such an unbearable extent that he is endeavoring to find somewhere within the metropolitan area where he can come home from his day’s professional work and be in quiet. He told “M.” when they were speaking upon the subject last week that the roughs had paraded with their yell-chorus up and down in front of his sitting-room window. When they are in gangs of three and four they have girls with them who give the signals for the approach of police and of victims. They never go into the squares, the reason being, as two of them said, “O, we should get locked up if we went to have our games there.” “M.” and his however, who are equally ratepayers in the old suburban neighborhoods, are to have their evening lives made wretched because they do not live “in the squares,” and all this with a police army of eleven thousand men. A friend of his, who resides in another district, says that he has had conversations with the police upon the' subject, and they have expressed the strongest indignation that their powers are so crippled in the matter, and, as if to demonstrate that crippling, while we were conversing at my door, one of a gang with two girls went by. They looked at us as they passed, and when they got about fifty yards on they set up their unearthy yells, ending with shouts of defiant laughter, and took to their heels. The utterly unaccountable leniency of the police magistrates was clearly shown to lie at the bottom of such a shocking state of things—a state that would be impossible in the smallest town or village in England. Surely the overburdened ratepayers of London are entitled to the overflow of some of that consideration which is now costing millions in the land of the pyramids. A gentleman, in another case, has repeatedly to walk on sentry in front of his own house to keep these juvenile ruflians from making his door-porch their headquarters. He said to me: “They have broken some of my windows for what I am doing now, and have further threatened me. I have spoken to the police, but”—and here he shrugged his shoulders as- a yelling chorus opened out not fifty feet away from us.

Chinese Dwarf Trees.

How the Chinese continue to grow miniature pines and oaks in flower-pots for half a century, has always been much of a secret. They aim first and last at the seat of vigorous growth, endeavoring to weaken it as far as may be consistent with the preservation of life. Tney begin at the beginning, taking a young plant (say a seedling, or cutting of a cedar) when only two or three inches high; they cut off its tap-root as soon as it has roots enough to live upon, and replant it in a shallow earthen pot or pan. The end of the taproot is generally made to rest on a flat stone within it. Alluvial day is then put into the pot, much of it in bits the size of beans, and just enough in kind and quantity to furnish a scanty nourishment to the plant. Water enough is given to excite a vigorous habit. So likewise in the application of light and heat. As the Chinese pride themselves on the shape of their miniature trees, they use strings, wires, and pegs, and various other mechanical contrivances to- promote symmetry of habit, or to fashion their pets into odd fancy figures ; thus, by the use of these very shallow pots, the growth of the taproots is out of the question. By the use of poor soil, and little of it, and little water, any strong growth is prevented. Then, too, the top and side roots, being within easy reach of the gardener, are shortened by his pruning-knife, or seared with his hot iron. So the little tree, finding itself headed on every side, gives up the idea of strong growth, asking only for life, and just growth enough to’ live and look well. Accordingly each new set of leaves becomes more and more stunted, the buds and rootlets are diminished in proportion, and at length a balance is established between every part of the tree, making it a dwarf in all respects. In some kinds of trees this' end is reached in three or four years; in others, ten or fifteen years are necessary. Such is fancy horticulture among the Celestials.

Efficiency of Lightning Rods.

Prof. Mohn, of Christiania, Norway, having been employed by the Government to investigate the efficiency of the protection afforded to buildings by lightning rods, seems to have substantially settled the much debated question, at least for that region of country. His report shows that lighthouses, telegraph stations, and other exposed buildings, which were provided with conductors, did not by far suffer as much as churches, which in most cases were unprotected. It appears, in fact, that of about one hundred churches reported to have been struck by lightning, only three were provided with , conductors; that of these three the first had a conductor in good order, and theiJbuilding was uninjured; the second had a conductor of zinc wire, which melted, and, of course, left the structure without protection; the third had a wire which was rusty where it joined the earth, and the church was burned. More than one-half the number of

churches struck were totally destroyed. Mr. Preece, the English Government electrician, states that no damage has occurred to telegraph poles since the practice was adopted of providing them with lightning rods or earth wires.

Webster in Private Life.

Hon. Alexander Stephens once said of Daniel Webster: “I think Webster was the worst slandered man I ever knew. It is the general impression in the country today that Webster was a great drunkard. You hear it spoken of even now whenever his name is mentioned, but it is an outrageous dander. I will tell you what I know myself. For six years while we were both in Congress I lived next door to him. His house was as familiar to me as my own garden. I was in there a great deal and he was as often in mine, and in all the time of my acquaintance with him I never saw Webster when he was in the least affected by liquor or under the influence of it in any way. I have dined with him at his house and mine, I have met him at dinners and affairs outside, and I never saw him in the least inebriated. I never heard of his being intoxicated but twice, and on one of those occasions—a dinner —he made a speech that was grandly eloquent. Then, too, there has been much said about his incontinency. I think that is even a -worse slander than the other. When we were neighbors he was married to his second wife (a fine woman) and, with the exception of Toombs and Calhoun, I never saw a man so devoted to his wife as Webster was. They were always together. If he went out to walk in the evening, as was his custom, Mrs. Webster always accompanied him. I used to meet them often. He never was away from home over night that his wife did not go, too. He went frequently to New York and Baltimore, but he always took Mrs. Webster with him. At the receptions in the city they always -were together, and whenever you saw Webster you saw Mrs. Webster on his arm. It was different then from now. It was not then considered wrong for a man and his wife to keep together at such entertainments. Now if a man speaks to his wife at any reception or affair of the kind he is thought to be unfit for good society. He must beau around some other woman and leave his wife to be looked after by some other man. Webster loved his wife and was kind and faithful to her, and she was one of the most elegant, refined ladies I have had the fortune to know,”

How Coodledodger Hurt Mrs. Coodledodger’s Feelings.

“Look here, my dear,” exclaimed Coodledodger, as he smilingly entered ■ within the bosom of his family one evening recently. “Just look here what I have brought you; now what do you think of these, my dear?” “What are tliev, dear—toys for the baby?” “Mrs. Coodledodger, do they look like toys? No, they are something for you. ” “What are they, Mr. Coodledodger?” “Bell garters, my dear—bell garters.” “Bell garters?’’ “Yes, duck, bell garter’s. It used to be tassels on your boots, and now it is bells on your calves.” “Oh, my dear Coodledodger, ain’t they cute ?” “Cute! Well, I should smile. Just imagine a woman rambling around emitting music from her calves. Why, it is too cute to talk about. Put them on your 1 I mean your underpins, and let’s see how they look. ” “Very well, dear. Oh, the cute little things; how pretty. Why, Mr. Coodledodger, these won’t do at all; they don’t fit.” “What’s the matter with them?" “They are entirely too large.” “What! Too large?” “Yes, dear, too large.”

“Gimme them here and I’ll take ’em right back and get ’em changed. I never thought they would be too large, for I bet I can’t get them over a fence rail. But I’ll get ’em changed. Gimme the broomstick, pigeon.” “What do you want with the broomstick, dear?” “I want to take it with me for fear I’ll make another mistake and get the garters too large. ” Coodledodger has been vigorously scratching his head for two days, and he can’t for the life of him guess what started Mrs. Coodledodger a crying.— Galveston News.

The Four-Leaf Clover.—A boy was told if he could find a four-leaf clover it would be to him a talisman of good fortune, and with it in his possession success in any undertaking was sure. So early in life he started out to search for this little token of good. He left his home and friends to wander alone in this pursuit, traveling across continents and oceans indus search, but all in vain. At last, a disappointed and worn-out old man, he returned to the old homestead to die; and as he tottered up the familiar pathway, lo! close beside the doorstep grew a four-leaf clover.

With certain saints our ancestors connected certain flowers on account of their blossoming about the saints’days. Thus the snowdrop was called the Purification flower, from its blossoming about Candlemas (Feb. 2); the crocus was dedicated to St. Valentine; the daisy to St. Margaret (hence called by the French “La Belle Marguerite”); the Lady Smock to the Virgin, its flowers appearing about Lady Day; St. John’s Wort was connected” with the blessed St._John; and there were the daffodil or Lent lily, the Basque flower or anemone, the Herb Christopher, St. Barnaby’s thistle, Canterbury bell, Herb St. Bobert, and Mary Wort.

In Switzerland there is a law which compels every newly married couple to plant six trees after the ceremony, and two on the oirth of every child. They are planted on commons and near the road, and being mostly fruit trees are both useful and ornamental. The number planted amounts to 10,000 annually. In the literary as well as military world, most powerful abilities wifi often be found concealed under a rustic garb.— Pliny.

Physics.

“Professor,” said the man from Arizona, “there’s a durn fool down to Brag’s grocery es wants ter wager es he can fill sack full o’ wet sand, tie a rope two hundred feet long outer it, tackle his mule ter the end o’ the line, an’ thet the critter ’ll dror it twenty rods. ” “And he believes the mule can do it. ” “Fifty dollars’ w'orth. That’s what he’s a reckonin’ on. ” “But it’s a physical impossibility!” “Sure?” “Certain! Let me explain. What is the weight of the bag of sand ?” “Well, say two hundred pounds.” “Two hundred pounds! Well, see here. The gravity of the sand will be increased by the length of the rope, in the proportion of a square of the weight to each nine feet of line, progressing by compound attraction until the weight would be fabulous.” “I didn’t quite catch on. Give us it a little easier,” said the Arizona man, with a sigh. The Professor took out his note book and proceeded to explain: “Let X equal the ’unknown weight Let Y equal the weight of the bag of sand. Let Z equal the progressive ratio. Then if the line measures 198 feet, X equals Z multiplied by Y multiplied 22. Therefore X equals nineteen tons, seven pounds and six ounces. And I maintain there isn’t a mule in creation could budge that bag of sand a fractional part of an inch. See?” “See! Good'Lord, it’s as dark to me es a blind negro at night lookin’ fur a a black cat in a dark cellar. ”

“Well, let us go over it once more. Lgt X equal ” “Not for a farm, I’ll take yer word for it. By-by!” Two hours afterw’ard the man from Arizona came back with blood in his eye and his face as red as a beet. “Well,” ci-ied the Prdfessor, “have you tried the experiment?” “Ihev!” “I should have liked to have, seen that fellow’s chagrin. I fancy I can see it. He tied the rope to the sand bag, hitched on his mule, and the poor dumb, patient creature ” “Yanked it off without a’ effort,” yelled the man from Arizona, “an’ dror’d it all over the village!” The Professor fainted.— Evansville Argus.

English Religions.

They reckon above twenty sorts of religion in London, every one having liberty of conscience to live according to his fancy. I was there in Lent; but little appearance of it was to be seen unless in the palace of St. Marcel (Somerset House), which belonged to the deceased Queen mother of England, in the chapel of which there are some Capuchins, who say many masses every day, and on Sundays service is performed there with great devotion. These Capuchins baptize and marry the Cathclics of London, and when they go to carry the sacrament to any one in the town they are dressed like gentlemen, and you would sometimes rather take them for captains than Capuchins; but they are obliged to do this to avoid the insults of the passengers and lower citizens.— Jorevin de Rocheford, 1672.

Violent Measures

Are, or should be, only resorted to in extreme cases. Danger is incurred by persons who tamper with disease. To take drastic, drenching cathartics, or to neglect a recourse to judicious medication when the bowels are constipated, are alike acts of folly. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters relieves, and it persisted in, ultimately cures costivencss. But this effect it never produces violently or abruptly, nor is there any medicine on-earth that will do any permanent good that causes a sudden change, accompanied by pain in the intestinal region. Dyspepsia, no Jess certainly than constipation, is remedied by this sterling, time-honored medicine, which is also the leading antidote to malaria, and a safe and pleasant remedy for rheumatism, inactivity or disorder of the kidneys or bladder, and biliousness. This statement is based upon ample evidence.

Situated- one and a half miles north of Poundridge is a pretty little sheet of water called Trinity Lake. It is the source of supply for Stamford, Conn., four miles away. There is a singular phenomenon connected with this lake which is not generally known, except to a few residents of this locality. It is what is called* a floating island, a good-sized body of land, which has for several years appeared at regular intervals near the center ol the lake, and, after remaining upon the surface of the water for several days, sinking again to the bottom, about forty-five feet. No one has yet taken the trouble to investigate the phenomenon, and the country people have become so accustomed to it that they think little about it. •

In the new Mason & Hamlin Lipright Pianos the strings are held by screws and secured directly to the iron plate, each string being held by a separate screw. In pianos generally the strings are held by the friction of wrestpins set in wood. The results of the Mason & Hamlin Improvement are remarkable purity of tone (resulting in part from the easy method of tuning the three strings belonging to each tone, exactly together), with much less liability of getting out of tune or being affected by climatic changes. This improvement has been pronounced the greatest made in Upright Pianos for half a century.—Boston Journal.

Coffee culture is very interesting, and the growing crop is very beautiful. The trees at maturity are from five to eight feet high; they are well shaped and bushy, with dark green foliage, and planted eight or nine feet apart. The flowers are in clusters at the root of the leaves, and are small, but pure white and very fragrant. The fruit has a rich color, and resembles a small cherry or a large cranberry; it grows in clusters, close to the branches, and when it becomes a deep red is ripe and ready to be gathered. The trees are raised from seed, and do not begin to yield until the third year. In Central America they bear well for twelve or fifteen years, although, in exceptional cases, trees twenty years old will yield an abundance of fruit. The tree is particularly beautiful when in full bloom or when laden with ripe fruit. Dr. Pierce’s Compound Extract of SmartWeed combines French Brandy, Jamaica Ginger, Smart-Weed and Camphor Water, the best possible agents for the cure of diarrha a, cholera morbus, dysenteryor bloody-flux and colic, or to break up colds, fevers and inflammatory attacks.

The African Grapple-Plant.

In the southern parts of Africa, there is a curious plant known by the name of hook-thorn, or grapple-plant, which is said to bear some resemblance to the cuttle-fish. The large flowers of this truly horrible plant are a lovely purple hue. They spread themselves over the ground, or hang in masses from the trees and shrubs. The long benches have sharp, barbed thorns, set in pairs throughout their length. When the petals fall, and the seed-vessels are developed and fully ripe, the two sides separate widely from each other, and form an array of sharp, curved hooks. Woe be to the traveler who ventures near at such a time! The English soldiers in the last Kaffir wars ‘ suffered teiribly from this plant. While the Kaffir, unclothed and oily, escaped harmless, the Europeans was certain to be made and held prisoner. Imagine one hooked thorn catching a coat sleeve. The first movement at escape bends the long,, slender branches, and hook after hook fixes its point into the clothing. Struggling on trebles the number of thorned enemies, and there is no way of escape except tostnnd still, cut off the clinging seed-vessels, andremove them one by one.
