GENERAL NOTES. Tue city of Boston taxes about F.OOU.OOO In mortgages. Tbe price of Ice In New York has been In creased trim 20 to 50 emt per 100. The collection of Chinese works in the Brit ish museum includes 20,000 volumes. France in 1878 had 936,000 births, of which 67,000, or about one In 16, were illegitimate. While a boy at North Attleboro, Mass.. was holding a h.trse the other day, the animal bit off his lower lip. Mr. PAitsELL's sister is to be married In June to Mr. Paget, a brother of tbe husband of the lady who was Mies Stevens. Latest news from the Texas sugar belt Is to the effect that the late freezs stopped short before reaching that latitude, and that the cane crop is safe. Rev. James C. Beecher, an ecoentrio cousin of Henry Ward Boecher, who with his family has lived on the border of a backwoods lake foj some years, was nominated for supervisor in the town of Hardenburg, Ulster county, but was defeated. Mr. Fletcher, the father of the clever young author of MKismet" and "Mirage," is quoted as saying: MI would rather see my daughter married to an American blacksmith possessing the attributes of a true man, than toauy clou of tbe British nobility lacking them." The rumor that Prince Leopold, of Britain, was to marry the beautiful Miss May n ard step-daughter of Earl Koalyn, Is contradicted. She is a good match even for a prince being a winning at d lovely girl of 18, and the owner of a magnificent estate and an Income of 5150,000 a year. An article upon the human figure says that "the proportions of the figure are alz times the length of ihe feet." Coming generations, wnen they shall excavate a Chicago young lady's shoe, will remark Incontinently : "There were giants in those days," and mentally reconstruct a race of women 10 feet tall. Ulysses 3. Grant, Jr and Miss Flood fel In love at a plcnio In California. The young lady went botanizing in the afternoon and Mr. Grant accompanied her. In trying to ob tain a bit or wild geranium for her he poison ed himself with ivy, and Miss Flood cured him with some soothing salve given by an old lady . That was enough for tbe young gentle man. Wkxiell PHiLUPd in his oratory repeats his figures of speech very frequently we do not mean to say too frequently, because there is nobody who can repeat them so well as he can. But if you read one of his speeches any one it will be found that he always uses the figure of the right hand holding this and the left hand holding that. This figure is not tiiesome, but he always uses it. The Boston Post says that a Washington gentleman who Is a shrewd observer of pollti cal events writes the Post a prediction that neither of the Republicans now prominently mentioned for the presidential nomination will secure it, and that the Democratic nomi nation will fall to some man little if any talked of at the present time. He predicts that Blaine will not come as near a nomlna Hon as he did four years ago, and, though a friend of Mr. Tilden, says his nomination by tbe Democrats would be inviting defeat. The Paris Patrie announces the death at Salt Like City of the Count of Massena, son ot Marshal Massena, of the first empire, and says he died in a hospital in extreme poverty. The Patrie mu-t have got its news from some ource other than the American papers. A son of one of Napoleon's marshals could hard ly haye died In Utah without the event at trading a gnat deal of attention, unless his identity was carefully concealed, and made known only by letters received In France after h 1 death. The story is, to say the least, doubt fu!. Old Mr . Baker advertised for a wire, specify lng a "a young woman of irreproachable char acter." He received a letter from a lady of De Witt, Mo. She said that Bhe was only 17, and was willing to become an old man's dar ling wife. As to her character, she assured Mr. Baker that anybody in De Witt could give him tbe facts; and she told the truth, for the first person of whom be Inquired Informed him that she had served three terms in prison for stealing, and one for shooting a man. He decided not to marry her. The main body of tbe Salvation Army which Is campaigning in England, baa something wore to contend with there than haidhearted city officials. At a meeting In Ply mouth on tbe Drill Hall grounds a crowd of roughs created a disturbance, and, belDg remonstrated with, attacked the army. The salvat louists repelled tbe attack with their fists and with sticks, and beld the fort for two hours, but were eventually defeated and forced to 6eek refuge in a house. The railway from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico is in many respects one of the most remarkable pieces of engineering of Its kind In the world. The cost was very great, taking Into account the cheapness of labor in this country; but a trip across the mountains should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that not mnch of the 127,000,000 that it cost to build 203 miles of the road was misspent. Between Orizaba and Esperanza the the rise is nearly 5,000 feet, and this Journey is accomplished in three hours. John Tenniel, the celebrated cartoon artist of the London Punch, is 60 years old. He created his own style and Is considered selfeducated. In 1815 he painted a fresco in the palace at Westminster, and generally the few pictures he has pointed have been for private collections. He has been on the staff of Punch since 18-31. In addition to his work on that journal he has illustrated several holiday books. He divides with Du Maurler, the sarcastic ar ist of the society pictures, the honor of ketpicg Punch in the van of English comic papers. Du Maurler is a Frenchman by birth, and was at one time In London a stu dent of chemistry. His excellent sketches have recently been published in book form. Chain Shirts. INew York Times. The chain-mail vest which is said to have saved General lelikoff from Vladetski's bullet has for many generations past been a common article of wear with the leading per sonages of Europe, the most notable examplea being Oliver Cromwell, Gustavus, of Sweden, the present czar and Louis XVI. In the middle ages the mail -coat? were known as "Milan shirts," and greatly esteemed for the fineness of their workmanship. A famous Italian guerrilla, who went into the battle of Ravenna thus equipped, was found dead with the linKS of his mail still unbroken, though the bones beneath it were completely shatter'! by the force of the death-blow. A "bullet-prooP' vest of this kind was offered by a speculator to the Duke of Wellington, who got rid of him in a very characteristic fashion. Bidding the man put it on, he called to the sentry outaide to load with ballcatridge and corne up at once; but the visitor's confidence in his invention did not apparently extend to the testing of it in his own pei-ßon, for he took to bis hoel at once.

ERIN'S LAMENT.

The following is published in the London World as a prize poem: I mw la a dream tb sad antrel of Erin; Per crrta robe liurnr looily. o withered nr form; For her country the ligbed, m though slraoat depsirlog Of ihelttir and redt frm the DltlUai tons. Though the day-kUr of Hope, rising fair o'er the ocean. FIiod bright on the uilt of her eye'i lad devotloa; Yet ecarctily her lipa. In tneii trembling r motion. Could whisper the anthem of Krln-go-bragh. 'Sd U my fate!" said tbe heart-broken stranger; "The wild deer aud fox shall be monarch! alone; For, racked by tbe tortures of famine and dauger, To new bootee and new countries my children bare flown. Never again, when the bill-tops are hoary And the winter winds wall, shall they list to the story. Which their fathers loved, of their countrymen's Rkry, Nor join in the chorus of Erin-go-bragh. Britannia, my sister, though sad and forsaken. In hope I yet Hoger about my rough shore; AIhs, has my anguish no pow'r to awaken Boine pity to 1ot, and some aid to restore? 0 happy land, only thou cau'st replace me In a haven of peact! If tbine arms shall embrace me, Sever again shall my children disgrace me. Nor die at a distance, but live in my heart. Mow Is the cabin door open and shattered. Father and mother are wecpiug within; Gone are their kindred, their lrieudsare all scattered, Their children with famiue are wasted and thin. Ah, my sad heart, as I look on this sorrow, Hopeless to-day and despairing to-morrow. How can I dra any comfort to borrow From drems which tho future may blast aud de stroy? Yet all tbe thoughts of its anguish suppressing, One only fond wish my sad heart can desireThat my sous' bitter curses may change to a bleesing. As faction shall languish and discord expire! Now wild with distress is my isle of the ocean; Then gladness shall swell my fond breast with emotion. And my children shall sing with new love aud devotion, Erin mavounreen, Erin-go-braght" Tea-Tasters in New York. From the Medical Record. There are, says Dr. Dana, probably more than a hundred firms engaged in tea-tasting in this city. In all of their offices there are large tables with round revolving tops. A circle of teacups is placed along the edge of these. The tea-taster sija down before the display of crockery and tastes one cup after another, moving the table top around. In the center of tho table is a pair of scales with a silver half-dime in one of the balances. One or two large kettles are kept constantly with boiling water in them. When a sample of tea is to be tasted, as much is weighed out as will balance the halfdime. This is put in a teacup and the boiling water poured on the leaves. The teataster then stirs up the leaves, lifts them on his spoon, and inhales the aroma. At the same time he generally takes a sip of the infusion, holds it in his mouth for a short time, and then spits it out. Enormous brass cuspadores, holding two or threo gallons, receive the tea thus tasted and the contents of tho cups that have been examined. On some occasions, when a large amount of tea of a certain kind is to be bought, many samples of this are brought in from different houses. The buyers and sellers eit around the revolving table with the samples made into infusions in the cups before them. These are tasted aH around, the "body," fineness," "toastiness," etc., are learnedly discussed, and the poorer specimens discarded. Then those that are left are tasted again and the number further reduced. So it goes on until the article which unites the desired quality and price U obtained. The skill displayed at these "drawings" is quite remarkable. A tea-taster will detoct not only the quality of tea as regards age, strength, flavor, finem ss, etc., but he can tell in which of the numerous districts in China the tea was grown. The facts regarding thj different samples are sometimes put on the bottom of the cups, where they can not be seen. The cups are then mixed up, and the infusions tasted again and sorted out simply by their flavors. A great deal of tea may be tasted before these tea-drawings are finished. It is hard to tell the amount that a tea-taster takes during the day, for it varies a great deal with the activity of business. Few of the gentle men whom I asked could give any idea. Sometimes, however, as many as four or five hundred cups are tasted in a day. It is quite the custom to have to be tasting tea stf adily for the most of the day, or for hours at a time. Probably an average of 200 cups a day throughout the year is a low estimate. The poorer kinds of tea are often not sipped at all, but the sense of smell depended on. Of the better qualities ef tea, some is swallowed, and some spit out. Indeed, when ever tho tea is taken in the mouth a little of it is swallowed. The tea gets into the system, therefore, in three wavs: by inhalation, by absorption through the oral mucous membrane, and by the stomach. More tea is simply taken into the mouth without swallowing than is inhaled alone; but all the tea is inhaled, even if it is tasted also. It is only a small proportion, amounting to not more than two or three cups a day, that is swallowed. A silver five-cent piece weighs 1.18 grms. (gr. xviii.) Estimating that an average of 200 cups of tea are tasted in a day, about one half of a pound would represent the whole amount used. Japan tea has of late years become by far the most popular variety, and more of it is imported than all other kinds together. Green tea, on the other hand, is much less extensively used that formerly. A fashionable lady and her company were greatly rejoiced the other day by a Biddy's mistake, who, on being told to get some oil for the castor, served them all with a dose of Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil. Biddy's mistake was the means of curing a number of bad cases of cough and colds. Result: They all keep it in the house as a speedy remedy for coughs, cold, etc. See advertisement in another column. For sale by J. B. Dill. About Advertising. If you have goods to sell, advertise. Hire a man with a lamp-black kettle and a brush to paint your name and number on all the railroad fences. The cars go whizzing by so fast that no one can read them, to be sure, but perhaps the obliging conductor would stop the train to accommodate an inquisitive passenger. Itemember the fences by the roadside as well. Nothing is so attractive to the passer by as a well painted sign: "Millington's medical mixture for mumps.'' Have your card m the hotel register by all means. Strangers stopping at hotels for a night generally buy a cigar or two before they leave town, and they need some Inspiriting literary food besides. If an advertising agent wants your business advertised in a fancy frame at the depot, pay him about 200 per cent, more than it is worth, and let him put it there. When a man hp three-quarters of a second in which to catch a train, he invarably steps to read depot advertisements, and your card might take his eye. Of course the street thermometer. dodge is excellent. When a man's fingers and ears are freezing, or he is puffing and "phewing" at the heat, is the ti ne above all others when he reads an advertisement. Print in the blackest ink in a great sprawl ing card on all your wrapping paper. Ladies returning from a shopping tour like to be walking bulletins, and if the ink rubs off and spoils some of their finery, no matter. They will never stop at your store again. Have a few posters pasted all over town mixed up with nigger minstrel streamers and theatrical bills; they will appear very prominent and attract about as much attention as a black spot on a speckled dog. Have thousands of little dodgers printed and hire a few small boys to distribute them. You've no idea how the junk dealer and paper-rag man will respect you. Don t fail to advertise in every circus programme. It will help the circus to pay its bills, and visitors ran relieve the tedium of the clown's Jokes by looking over your in

teresting remarks about "20 per cent below cost." etc. A boy witx. a big placard on a pole is an interesting object on the street, and lends a dignified air to your establishment. Hire about two. Advertise a calendar. People never look at a calendar to see what day of the month it is. They merely glance hurriedly at it so as to be sure that your name u spelled with or without a p., that's all. When the breezes blow, wafted by a paper fan in the hands of a lovely women 'tis well to have the air redolent with the per. fume of the carmine ink in which your business address is printed. This will make the market for decent fans very good. r Patronize every agent that shows you an advertising tablet, card, directory, dictionary or even an advertising Bible if one is offered at a reasonable price. The man must mako a living. But don't think of advertising in a well established, legitimate newspaper. Not for a moment. Your advertisement would be nicely printed and would find its way into all the thrifty households of the region, where the farmer, the mechanic, the tradesmen in other lines, and into the families of the wealthy and refined, all who have articles to buy and rroney with which to buy them, and in the quiet of the evening, after the news of the day had been digested, it would bo read and pondered, and the next day people would come down to your store and patronize you, and keep coming in increasing numbers, and you might have to hire an extra clerk or two, move into a larger block and more favorable location, and do a bigger business, but of course it would be moro ex

pensive and bring greater profits. After a day's hard work at business, one goes home to rest and enjoy the evening in conversation or reading. Having caught cold during the day, a cough, with Santanic delight, lays claim to his time, and tortures him.

What a brave and grand thing it was for him to encourage the young traveler! Horace Gree ley was always doing something of that kind more journalists have gone through Hor ace Gjreeley's pocket to a livlihood and suc cess than through any other one route. The great New York editor saw in the green country lad trom Kennett Square a mind large enough to be minister plenipotentiary to any country. It sometimes takes genius to discover genius. As .Mr. Greeley looked upon the young literary adventurer desiring to seo Europe and tho world aioot, he re memoered his own eaily days, when in home spun dyed with butternut, he helped his father, and when hu landed in New York with $10.75 in his pocket, asking only for something to do. out for the most part Bay ard Taylor helped himself.

This is unhappily an age of skepticism but there is one point upon which persons acquainted with the subject agree, namely that Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil is a medicine which can be relied upon to cure a cough, remove pain, heal sores of various kinds, and benefit any inflamed portion of the body to which it is applied.

A small tub of mackerel brine sat on the walk at the side door of Merrills' grocery, and .Mr. .Merrills told his clerk to take it inside in the evening, but the clerk had his mind full of an entertainment in the Opera House to which he was going to take a new girl, and neglected to remove the tub. Coming out of the show with the young lady, to whom he was making himself particularly vivacious, he was crowded to one side by the press of tho people as they passed the grocery, and stepped with one foot right into that tub of brine. He went in half way to his knee, and, as he wore low shoes with fine colored stockings, the effect was as full and rounded as it could possibly be. The mile walk that followed gave him a better idea of how a mackerel feels than he could have obtained from a lifetime of reading. Sure but not slow People who have used Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, to get rid of pain, find that it is sure, but not slow. A cough even of longstanding, ia speedily controlled and cured by it.
