bve  with  him  in  the  woods  for  several  days. 

— The  Union  Pacific  Railway  Company's 
artesian  well  at  Julesburg  has  reached  a 
depth  of  five  hundred  and  fifty-two  feet, 
and  is  going  down  at  the  rate  of  thirty 
feet  per  day. 

— The  total  exports  of  petroleum  were 
in  1862  upwards  of  10,000,000  gala. ;  in 
1863  more  than  28,000,000 ;  in  1864  in  ex- 
cess of  31,000,000;  in  1865,  42,000,000;  in 
1866,  1,700,000,000 

— Some  individual  thought  to  place  a 
foundling  in  opulence  by  leaving  it  with 
John  Jacob  Astor  recently.  The  authors 
of  the  infant's  being  will  be  disappointetl 
to  learn  that  it  was  given  to  the  police. 

—Scene— A  crowded  horse-car.  First 
Passenger,  (to  a  sturdy  laborer  standing  in 
front  of  him)— "I  say,  there!  I've  got 
toes!"  Second  Passenger  —  "Y-e-s,"  (a 
gleam  of  intelligence  lightens  his  face,)  "  I 
felt  'cm." 

—It  ia  reported  that  Charles  il.  Burrill, 
having  failed  to  recover  the  1 1,000,000 
which  he  demanded  from  the  city  of  Bos- 
ton, for  substitutes  furnished  on  her  quota, 
is  now  going  to  sue  ex-Mayor  Lincoln  and 
the  city  authorities,  personally,  for  the 
amotint. 

— An  accident,  by  collision,  occured  on 
the  Elmiraand  Canandaguia  branch  of  the 
Northern  Central  Railroad  Wednesday, 
which  resulted  in  the  death  of  two  men, 
and  severe  wounding  of  five  others.  The 
killed  are  W.  E.  Tammany,  of  Lock  Haven, 
Pa. ;  and  Frank  Truei  of  Ehnira,  N.  Y. 

—A  man  in  New  York  rode  from  one 
end  of  the  city  railroad  lines  to  the  other 
without  paying  fare,  and  won  fifty  flollars 
thereby.  He  would  get  on  to  a  car,  and 
when  the  conductor  came  round  would 
discover  he  had  taken  the  wrong  one,  and 
get  off ;  he  pursued  this  method  to  the  end 
of  the  route. 

— The  New  York  Post  suggests  that  the 
ashes  and  garbage  of  that  city  be  saved 
separately,  the  ashes  to  be  sold  far  filling 
in  waste  places,  and  the  garbage  for  fatten- 
ing hogs.  It  estimates  that  each  of  40,000 
lamiles  in  the  city  throw  away  garbage 
enough  to  keep  a  hog,  and  that  40,000  hogs 
so  supported  would  produce  40,000  bbls.  of 
pork,  annually. 

— Grasshoppers  are  thick  in  Iowa.  A 
train  on  the  Northwestern  recently  was 
80  delayed  by  millions  ot  these  insects  on 
the  track  as  to  require  one  hour  and  ten 
minutes'  time  to  run  ten  miles.  The  dri- 
ving wheels  of  the  engine  became  perfectly 
clogged  with  the  mashed  mass  of  grasshop- 
pers, so  much  so  as  to  almost  entirely  re- 
tard their  revolution. 

— The  St.  Louis  and  Illinois  Bridge  Co. 
has  accepted  the  proposals  of  James  An- 
drews, of  Pittsburgh,  for  the  entire  stone 
work  of  their  bridge.  The  contract  will 
amount  to  over  three-quarters  of  a  million 
of  dollars,  and  is  to  be  completed  by  De- 
cember of  1869.  It  should  be  stated  that 
this  is  the  bridge  at  Washington  avenue, 
and  not  the  one  contemplated  by  Chicago 
parties  owning  another  charter. 

— The  enlargement  of  Boston  by  the  an- 
nexation of  its  nearest  suburbs  is  now  an 
almost  assured  fact.  Already  the  people 
of  the  lower  part  of  Dorchester  are  con- 
sidering this  subject  favorably,  and  regard, 
it  as  only  a  question  of  time  when  Nepon- 
set  river  shadl  be  one  of  the  limits  of  Bos- 
ton. The  act  under  which  Roxbury  has 
come  in,  applies  to  "any  citv  or  town 
whose  territory  adjoins  that  of  the  city  of 
Boston." 

—  Stephen  Hickox,  of  Williamston 
Massachusetts,  who  will  be  ninety  years 
old  next  month,  in  riding  from  Bee  Hill  to 
church,  recently,  was  greatly  annoyed  by 
the  jolting  he  received  from  the  stones  in 
the  road,  and  on  the  next  morning  he  com- 
menced to  remove  them.  This  he  accom- 
plished thoroughly  t^s  far  as  the  village,  a 
distance  of  three  miles,  before  noon,  al- 
though the  road  was  thickly  strewn  with 
stones  all  the  way. 

The  workingmen  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa., 
where  7,000  were  narly  six  months  on  a 
strike,  have  made  local  nominations  as  fol- 
lows: For  Senator  Andrew  Burtt;  for 
Representatives,  J.  W.  Krepps,  Thomas  A. 
Armstrong,  W.  W.  Alexander,  J.  S.  Hill- 
man,  WlSiam  F.  Bradbury,  William  S. 
Matthews ;  for  Treasurer,  William  T.  Mc- 
Bride ;  etc.  The  ticket  is  entirely  distinct 
from  eithe?  the  Republican  or  Democratic, 
and  the  resolutions— a  yard  in  length— re- 
capitulate the  platform  of  "  the  industrial 
classes. 

— A  Mrs.  Harding,  of  Peru,  was  instants 
ly  killed,  in  that  city,  on  the  evening  of 
the  13th.  She,  with  three  children  and 
another  woman,  name  unknown,  were  rid- 
ing down  the  bluff  in  a  lumber  wagon, 
when  the  tug  unhooked,  the  tongue  drop- 
ped and  the  horses  ran  down  the  road  at  a 
r^id  rate.  All  were  thrown  out,  and  Mrs. 
Harding's  head  was  fearfully  crushed  in 
the  lumber  pile.  Tne  other  woman  had  a 
leg  broken,  and  was  otherwise  bruised. 
The  children  escaped  with  but  slight  in- 
jury.

rupt or  interfere  with  travel  in  or  between

— The  French  rival  our  town  country- 
men in  the  novelties  to  which  inventive 
genius  is  applied.  Among  a  late  list  ofpa- 
tents  granted  at  Paris,  is  one  for  "  comns 
with  bells  {cercueilH  a  sannettes)  for  cases  of 
premature  burial."  This  device  must  be 
an  inexpressible  consolation  to  those  peo- 
ple who.sc  chief  anxiety  is  lest  they  should 
be  buried  alive.  But  the  great  question  is 
how  the  merits  of  the  invention  were  test- 
ed. Did  some  ardent  devotee  of  science 
allow  hiui^elf  to  Ihj  prematurely  coffined 
and  sealed  up  for  some  minutes,  until  the 
bells  could  be  heard  above  ground  ?  It 
strikes  one  that  the  chances  of  anybody 
being  conveniently  within  hearing  at  the 
time  the  bells  were  tinkled,  even  could  they 
be  heard,  must  be  so  slight  as  to  Ix;  hardly 
worth  counting  on. 

-^A  msn.  who  is  still  a  stout  and  good 
servant  of  the  railway  company  in  whose 
employ  he  has  been  for  some  thirty  years, 
was  on  duty  one  night  on  the  platform 
he  is  still  stationed,  when  the  London  train 
came  in.  Among  the  passengers  was  one 
gentleman  who  misseu  his  tooting  at  the 
carriage  door,  just  as  the  train  was  about 
to  start,  and  fell  between  platform  and 
wheels.  At  that  instant  the  train  moved  on. 
Another  moment  and  all  would  have  been 
ever,  but  a  strong  hand  seized  him  and 
twiched  him  on  the  platform,  so,  with  no 
worse  injury  than  a  fright  and  a  shaking, 
the  passenger  went  on  his  way.  Had  that 
ticket-collector  not  been  there,  or  had  he 
been  less  ready,  the  history  of  the  world 
would  have  read,  no  man  can  say  how  dlf 
ferently .  for  the  traveler  was  Louis  Napo- 
leon. 

— A  London  correspondent  of  the  Man-

that  the  Que«n  will,  shortly  lose  the  per- 
sonal services  of  her  faithful  hiahland  gil- 
lie, John  Brown,  who  has  been  Her  Majes-

drives  ever  since  the  death  of  the  Prince 
Consort— who  had  a  special  liking  for  and

fect lac  simile  of  his  personal  appearance 
and  respectful  bearing.  It  appears  that, 
despite  the  confidential  post  assigned  him 
in  the  royal  household,  ne  is  desirous  to  re- 
deem the  troth  long  ago  plighted  to  a  young 
Scotch  woman  of  his  own  grade,  ana  it  is 
understood  that  a  residence  in  one  of  the 
lodges  at  Balmoral,  with  the  supervision 
of  a  part  of  the  domain,  will  prove  a  grat- 
ifying testimonial  to  him  of  the  value  en- 
tertainal  of  his  services  by  his  royal  mis- 
tress. 

— A  correspondent  of  the  Glasgow  Uer- 
aid  who  recently  visited  the  Island  of  Lew- 
is, in  the  Hebrides,  says  :  The  women  do 
all  the  heavy  work.  They  dig,  delve  and 
hoe ;  they  carry  heavy  loads  of  manure  to 
the  fields,  and  in  the  peat  season  you  may 
see  them  all  day,  carrying  cretlsful  of  peat 
from  the  bog.  You  will  often  see  a  man 
trudging  along  the  road  beside  a  woman, 
but  tne  creel  is  always  on  the  woman's  back. 
If  thev  come  to  a  river  or  ford,  the  woman 
crosses  first,  deposits  her  creel  on  the  other 
side,  and  then  returns  to  carry  the  man 
across.  The  woman  in  the  rural  districts 
here  is,  in  fiict,  a  beast  of  burden,  and  men 
in  looking  out  for  wives,  look  largelv  to 
mu.scular  development.  In  the  middle  of 
one  peat  season,  when  labor  was  much  in 
demand,  a  man  who  was  supposed  to  be  a 
confirmed  old  bachelor,  suddenly  married. 
A  friend  met  him  some  days  after.  "  What 
for  did  you  take  a  woman  like  that  ?"  said 
the  friend.  "  Did  you  not  hear,"  replied 
the  man,  "  that  my  horse  was  dead  v" 

— Dr.  Bellows  speaks,  under  date  of  Nu 
rembur^,  of  the  precautions  which  are  ta- 
ken against  premature  bunal.  He  says 
that  in  the  cemetery  there  is  a  house, 
pleasantly  arranged  amid  flower-beds  and 
shrubs,  to  which  all  the  dead  arc  at  once 
carried  after  being  laid  out,  and  there 
placed  on  beds,  each  with  a  bell-ptill  so 
connected  with  the  hand  that  the  least  mo- 
tion of  the  supposed  'corpse  on  reviving 
must  arouse  the  attendant  and  bring  in- 
stant attention.  All  this  humane  precau- 
tion has  never  yet  been  rewarded  with  a 
single  call  upon  its  watchfulness.  Once, 
however,  in  a  case  where  the  deceased  had 
died  with  dropsy,  the  subsidence  of  water 
caused  a  fall  of  the  arm— the  bell  rang,  and 
the  attendant  who  had  watched  for  years 
for  the  sound,  when  it  came  was  so  fright- 
ened that  he  ran  from  his  post  and  alarmed 
the  neighbors,  who  afler  sometime  rallied 
and  discovered  the  cause  of  the  alarm. 
This  method  of  guarding  against  prema- 
ture burial  is  quite  common  on  the  Conti- 
nent, but  he  thinks  it  not  worth  adopting 
in  America— though  we  commonly  bury 
much  too  early  for  decency.

it  himself  after  accidentally  inhsding  chlo-

same  remedy  would  doubtless  be  cffoctual 
in  the  case  of  bromine  poisoning.

— Neadlcs  were  first  made  in  London  by 
a  negro  from  Spain,  in  the  reign  of  Queen 
Mary,  He  diea  without  imparting  the  se- 
cret of  his  art.  The  art  was  recovered  in 
1565.  Ellas  Growse  first  taught  the  En- 
glish to  make  needles,  but  the  art  was 
again  lost  for  nearly  a  century,  when  it 
was  again  recovered  by  Christopher  Green- 
ing, who  settled  at  Long  Crendon,  in  Buck- 
inghamshire. Needles  are  now  chiefly 
made  at  Redditch,  in  Worcestershire ;  Hat- 
hersave,  in  Derbyshire ;  and  in  and  near 
Birmingham.  Some  years,  100,000,000 
needles  a  week  were  made  in  Redditch. 

—The  Kinsington  Museum  is  to  be  recipi-

ficient endowment  has  also  been  made  for 
providing  funds  for  the  delivery  of  lectures 
explanatory  of  such  instruments.  The  do- 
nor, Mr.  Whitworth,  of  ordnance  notorie- 
ty, says  their  importance  will  be  manifest 
when  it  is  considered  that  the  value  of 
every  machine,  when  made  of  the  best  ma- 
terial, depends  on  the  truth  of  its  surfaces 
and  the  acurate  measurement  of  its  parts. 

—Written  telegraph  dispatches  are  trans- 
mitted from  the  ceutial  telegraph  station 
in  Paris  to  various  other  points  of  business 
through  iron  tubes  three  and  a  half  inches 
in  diameter,  laid  down  not  very  far  under 
the  surface.  At  each  station  there  is  a  res- 
ervoir of  water  compressing  by  its  weight 
a  reservoir  of  air  beneath  it.  The  tele- 
grams are  placed  In  a  cylinder  fitting  the 
tube  air  tight ;  the  compressed  air  is  turned 
on,  and  the  cylinder  with  its  roll  of  des- 
patches is  shot  through  to  the  next  station, 
or,  if  by  any  chance  it  sticks  fast  at  any 

Eoint,  the  water  from  the  reservoir  is  let 
J,  and  by  the  fall  of  the  water  the  point 
of  stoppage  is  marked.  The  system  is  as 
simple  as  It  is  economical. 

— M.  Heurtebise  communicates  to  a  late 
number  of  I  Invention  a  plan  for  produc- 
ing and  economically  employing  hydrogen 
gas.  which  is  both  new  and  valuable.  He 
places  charcoal  in  a  retort  and  raises  it  to 
a  red  heat,  then  pasbing  a  stream  of  car- 
bonic acid  over  it,  eacn  molecule  of  the 
acid  absorbs  two  atoms  of  carbon  forming 
two  molecules  of  oxyde  of  carbon.  In  an- 
other retort  heated  red  hot  he  passes  two 
currents,  one  thus  obtained  and  another  of 
superheated  ateam,  when  two  atoms  of  car- 
bonic acid  and  two  equivalents  of  hydro 
gen  gas  result.  The  carbonic  acid  gas  is 
again  passed  over  the  heated  charcoal  and 
four  equivalents  of  hydrogen  are  obtained. 
A  continuous  action  is  thus  kept  up,  with 
a  steady  supply  of  hydrogen. 

—Mr.  Crookes,  says  the  Alaliail  Times 
has  shown  that  the  favorite  disinfectant, 
chloride  of  lime,  is  about  the  least  eflScient 
of  any  of  those  substances  reputed  to  pos- 
sess disinfectant  qualities.  Cnlorine  itse!f 
is  very  little  better,  for  if  used  in  large 
enough  quantities  it  will  in  time  destroy 
the  virus,  but  as  it  acts  by  way  of  oxyda- 
tion,  and  is  living  virus  resisted  this  longer 
than  dead  oxydizable  matter,  before  the 
gas  can  attack  a  virus  everything  else  that 
it  can  oxydizc  will  be  oxydized  first.^^nd 
if  when  pure,  chlorine  Is  so  slow  of  acting, 
when  adulterated  with  eighty  per  cent  of 
lime,  its  value  is  proportionally  less.  In 
sulphurous  and  carbonic  acid,  on  the  other 
hand,  there  are  sut>stance3  absolutely  de- 
structive of  every  kind  of  living  thing  of 
low  organization,  such  as  cattle  plague  vi- 
rus is  supposed  to  be.  These  substances, 
besides  destroying  the  virus,  attack  it  at 
once,  and  arrest  all  putrefying  tendency. 

—  When  two  locomotives  having  equal 
speed  on  a  railroad  track,  meet  from  oppo- 
site directions,  the  shock  actually  destroys 
the  momentum  of  both,  and,  therefore, 
makes  a  dead  halt.  The  force  of  the  shock, 
say  the  philosojjhers,  will  be  equal  to  the 
shock  which  either,  being  at  rest,  would 
sustain  if  struck  by  theotlior  moving  with 
double  the  velocity.  Action  and  reaction 
being  e«iual,  both  bodies  will  be  as  much 
moved  by  reaction  as  by  action. 
Should  two  railroad  trains,  running  to- 
ward each  other  at  the  rate  of  20  miles  an 
hour  colude,  the  shock  would  be  precisely 
the  same  as  though  one  had  been  at  Kst 
and  eben  struck  by  a  train  moving  at  the 
rate  of  forty  miles  an  hour.  Where  two 
steamboats  run  directly  together,  head  on 
— one  going  12  and  the  other  15  miles  an 
hour,  the  concussion  or  shock  each  would 
suffer  would  be  the  same  as  though  struck 
by  the  other  at  a  speed  of  27  miles  an  hour. 
Without  stopping  to  philosophize  upon  the 
cause,  boxers  and  pugilists  know,  by  dear 
bought  experience  that  the  worst  blows 
they  ever  receive  in  their  combats  are 
when  a  fist  strikes  a  fist,  because  the  force 
suflered  by  both  parties  is  equal  to  the  sum 
of  the  forces  exerted  t»y  either  arm.  The 
adroit  fighters,  therefore,  avoid  encounters 
of  that  kind  if  possible. 

JL  Story  Abont  **  False  Hair.** 

Among  the  really  interesting  curiosities 
of  the  Paris  Exhibition,  every  traveler  tells 
us,  are  the  picturesquely  attired  girls  who 
are  to  be  seen  in  front  of  the  far  eastern 
and  northern  department,  and  remarkably 
those  who  represent  the  national  Scandi- 
navian peasantry.  lo  front  of  the  Swedish 
restaurant,  a  real  child  of  the  north,  ar- 
rayed in  silver-braided  skirts,  and  covered 
with  filagree  ornaments,  has  attracted  a 
good  deal  of  admiration.  A  thick  plait  of 
toir  hair  is  wound  round  her  muslin  turban. 
Some  days  ago,  two  loungers  in  the  Swed- 
ish Department  of  the  Exhibition  building 
were  discui^ing  vivaciously  the  merits  of 
blonde  Swedish  girls.  One  gentleman 
maintained  that  the  solid  plait  which  fast- 
ened her  coiffure  was  of  her  own  hair, 
while  his  companion  .pronounctni  it  Ut  be 
false.  They  made  a  bet  about  it,  and  finally 
the  girl  was  called,  and  one  of  the  disput- 
ants addreased  her:  "Is  that  all  your 
own  hair?"  asked  he.  "Why,  whose 
should  it  beV"  asked  the  fair  Swede  naive- 
ly. "It  might  have  been  bought;  such 
things  are  often  done,"  said  her  <iuestionor. 
"  In  our  own  country  we  often  sell  our 
hair,"  was  the  reply,  "but  we  never  buy 
it — why  do  you  alsk  me  such  a  question  ?  ' 
"  Because  my  friend  here  declares  that  it 
is  false,"  After  such  an  assertion  there 
vras  nothing  left  for  her  but  to  undo  her 
plait,  which  fell  in  magnificent  profusion 
at  her  feet.  She  did  not  appear  at  all  sur- 
prised at  the  proceedings  until  the  winner 
of  the  bet  gave  her  the  twenty  francs  he 
had  won.  Then  she  was  fairly  astonished. 
That  was  a  hapipy  day  for  her,  and  she 
counted  on  the  recurrence  ot  the  incident, 
and  built  an  airy  castle  with  the  money 
her  hair  was  going  to  bring  her  during  the 
Exhibition,  ohe  would  buy  a  fishing  boat 
and  nets  with  the  money  she  had  made, 
and  then  what  a  crowd  of  devoted  admir- 
ers she  would  have  round  her  when  she 
returned  to  her  Swedish  home  !  But  hu- 
man curiosity  has  it^  bounds,  and  she  had 
no  further  invitation  to  loosen  her  massive 
plaiti.

While  Ireland  has  sent  us  more  emigrants 
than  any  other  covmtry  in  the  aggregates 
of  the  last  twenty  years,  and  nearly  half 
of  all,  Germany  is  now  sending  us  nearly 
twice  as  many,  and  almost  halt  of  all  who 
are  coming.  For  this  year,  to  date,  the  to- 
tal number  of  emigrants  at  New  York  is 
103,059,  of  whom  77,000  came  from  Ger- 
many, and  46,000  from  Ireland.  England 
IS  coming  up  in  the  proportion,  also ;  her 
share  of  this  year's  emigration  is  nearly 
half  of  Ireland's,  or  over  20,000.

I>ls]iom«aty  in  Trade. 

A  man  brings  a  pearl  into  your  shop, 
and,  holding  it  up,  says :  "  I  was  fishing 
down  on  the  bank,  and  I  found  this  thing. 
I  don't  know  wh«ther  it  is  worth  any 
thing  or  not,  but  they  told  me  I  could  get 
a  doUar  for  it."  It  is  worth  five  hundred 
dollars !  "  Oh  yes,"  you  say,  "  I  guess  it 
is  worth  that.  I  will  give  you  a  dol  ar  for 
It."  And  you  take  the  pearl  and  give  him 
the  dollar.  And  you  chucle  over  it,  and 
boast  of  it.  You  not  only  do  not  think 
that  you  have  done  that  which  is  dishonest, 
but  you  go  to  your  partner,  and  hold  up 
the  pearl,  and  exul  ingly  say,  "I  baught  it 
for  a  dollar."  And  when  you  go  home  at 
night  you  rub  your  hands,  and  say,  "  My 
dear,  I  had  a  rare  stroke  of  luck  to-day.  * 
"Whst  was  it?"  asks  the  wife.  "Why, 
an  ignorant  fisherman  came  into  the  shop 
with  a  magnificent  pearl,  and  I  gave  him 
a  dollar  for  it ;  and  he  went  away  as  tick- 
led as  any  man  could  be — and  I  g^ess  I  was 
another  man  that  was  quite  as  happy  as 
he  was !"  Oh,  that  the  woman  could  use 
a  woman's  oflice !  Oh,  that  she  could  give 
expression  to  her  moral  Judgment!  Oh, 
that  she  could  flush  and  say,  "  I  am  asham- 
ed of  you."  Oh',  that  th«re  could  be  in 
every  household  a  faithful  companion  to 
rebuke  those  tendencies  to  cheating !— for 
I  call  it  nothing  less  than  cheating. 

I  suppose  this  is  tliat  which  we  feel  when 
we  hunt  out  old  picture  stores  and  grope 
round  for  ancient  and  blackened  canvasses, 
hoping  that  that  which  we  buy  for  a  mere 
song,  on  being  washed  and  rubbe  I  and  re 
stortnl,  win  prove  to  be  a  Raphael,  a  Titian, 
or  something  of  that  kind.  A  hereditary 
property,  after  being  handed  down  from 
generation  to  generation,  at  last  comes  into 
the  hands  of  some  poor,  uneducated  wo- 
man ;  and  with  other  things  that  she  does 
not  understand  the  value  of,  there  is  an 
old  black-faced  picture.  A  man  goes  and 
looks  at  it,  and  says  to  himself,  "I  8h<'uld 
not  be  surprised  if  that  was  a  magnificent 
Vlurillo."  He  sees  that  the  woman  is  un- 
conscious ol  its  value,  and  he  takes  care 
not  to  have  her  discover  that  he  ouspects 
it  to  be  valuable.  But  whenever  he  can 
get  a  ctiance  without  being  obscived,  he 
goes  to  it,  and  begins  to  work  at  one  cor- 
ner of  it,  rubbing  and  scraping  it.  He 
aX^aia  in  at  difi'ercnt  times  and  continues 
the  rubbing  and  scraping,  using  various 
turpentines  and  varnishes. 

And  by  an  by  he  begins  to  see  the  end 
of  a  figure — a  foot ;  and  he  says,  "  No- 
body painted  that  foot  that  was  not  a  mas- 
ter painter."  But  he  aflects  ignorance, 
and  takes  the  woman  at  an  advantage,  and 
buys  it.  And  he  is  anxious  to  get  it  home 
a.<i  (luickly  as  possible,  lie  takes  it,  and 
fairly  runs  down  the  street  for  fear  the  wo- 
man may  call  him  back.  He  succeeds  in 
getting  it  away  without  awakening  any 
suspicion,  and  is  delighted.  He  at  once 
puts  it  into  the  hands  of  a  restorer,  and  it 
turns  out  to  be  a  picture  worth  fifteen  hun- 
dred dollars  And  all  his  life  he  boasts  of 
how  he  got  it,  and  in  relating  the  circum- 
stance says  "It  cost  me  a  ridiculous  sum ; 
I  paid  next  to  nothing  for  it."  It  is  among 
the  great  events  of  his  history.  He  is  so 
unconscious  of  the  simple  law  of  honor 
and  right,  that,  as  long  as  he  lives  he  sits 
on  this  fault  and  crows  his  own  shame ! —

The  mosquito. 

HOW   BE    LOOKS,  WH.KT    HE    DOES    FOR    A 
LIVlNO,  AND  HOW  HE  IS  PRODUCED. 

It  is  unscientific  to  say  that  mosauitoes 
bite,  for  they  liave  no  teeth;  ana  they 
have  no  need  of  teeth  to  seize  upon  or  pre- 
pare their  food,  for  tbey  are  dainty ;  and 
take  food  only  m  the  liquid  form — spoon 
victuals.  They  are  a  chivalric  race,  and 
attack  their  enemies  with  a  sort  of  sword 
or  lance;  no  doubt  they  consider  biting 
and  gouging  quite  vulgar.  The  lance  of 
the  mosquito  is  a  very  beautiful  and  per- 
fect piece  of  work ;  it  is  smoother  than 
burmshc-d  steel,  and  its  point  is  so  fine  and 

Serfect  that  the  most  powerful  microscope 
oes  not  discover  a  flaw  in  it.  As  the  most 
delicate  cambric  needle  is  to  the  crowbar, 
so  is  the  mosquito's  lance  to  the  Damascus 
blade.  The  lance  is  worn  In  a  scabbard  or 
sheath,  which,  in  every  respect,  is  worthy 
of  it ;  it  is  often  ornamented  with  plumes. 
Man  carries  his  sword  at  his  side,  and  the 
mosquito  on  his  head.  The  latter  arrange- 
ment has  manifest  and  wonderful  advan- 
tages— the  weapon  la  always  en  garde,  and 
does  not  impede  locomotion  by  getting  en- 
tangled with  the  legs.  The  lance  and  its 
sheath  being  on  the  head,  and  being  some- 
what flexible,  is  often  called  a  proboscis. 
This  view  of  the  case  is  strengthened  by 
the  fact  that  the  scabbard  is  a  suction  pipe 
through  which  the  mosquito  drinks  his 
food.  As  Moses  struck  the  rock  with  his 
8tafl['  so  the  mosquito,  with  a  thrust  of  his 
lance  pierces  the  foimtain,  and  the  nectar, 
gushing  into  the  scabbard,  finds  its  way 
to  the  more  sensitive  and  vital  parts.  But 
is  not  this  calling  the  lance  and  scabbard 
a  proboscis,  thus  likening  the  delicate  mos- 
QUito  to  the  monstrous  elephant,  a  little 
Ukr-fetchod  ? 

The  mosquito  is  the  most  orderly  of  all 

animals.    There  is  no  bird  which  sings  so 

much.    He  never  tires  of  his  simple  song. 

I  How  happy  he  must  be,  singing  cheerily 


far  Into  the  night.  What  a  volume  of 
melody  from  so  slight  a  creature !  If  a 
man  had  a  voice  so  loud  proportionate  to 
his  weight,  he  might  hold  conversation 
across  the  Atlantic,  and  there  would  be  no 
need  of  a  telegraph.  Linnaus,  out  of  com- 
pliment to  the  musical  powers  of  the  mos- 
quito, named  it  Culex  Pipiens.  But  there 
are  those  who  say  the  mosquito  has  no  vo 
cal  organs,  and  that  his  notes  are  not  mu- 
sic, but  the  sotinds  produced  by  the 
fiapping  of  the  wings,  or  by  some  other 
similar  and  purely  mechanical  movement. 
Have  those  detractors  music  in  their 
souls  y 

The  mo6<iuito  might  bt  classed  among 
our  domestic  animals,  may  wc  not  say 
among  the  household  pets  V  They  are  the 
almost  cx)nstant  companions  of  man  in 
town  and  countr\'  during  the  holiday  sea- 
son of  summer.'  No  home  without  the 
mosquito.  What  att'ection!  How  they 
stick  to  us,  closer  than  brothers!  They 
often  come  a  great  way — hundreds  of  miles 
— to  be  with  us. 

Most  of  those  who  greet  us  in  this  city 
have  left  their  distant  homes  in  Jersey  and 
have  made  the  perilous  journey  across  a 
wide  river.  They  also  love  their  own 
society,  and  travel  in  companies  which 
sometimes  comprise  millions  of  Individ 
uals — in  swarms  which  obscure  the  sun. 
But  the  commonplace  detractors  say 
that  mosquitoes  are  bred  In  unwhole- 
some swamps,  and  that  it  is  only  the  wind 
which  bears  them,  as  It  does  feathers  and 
malaria,  wherever  it  listeth.  Let  us  in- 
quire about  the  earliest  beginning  of  the 
mosquito ;  let  us  take  him  in  the  egg.  The 
mother  mosquito  has  notions  of  naval 
•rchitecturo,  and  out  of  the  eggs  she  lays 
constructs  a  well-modeled  boat,  with  ele- 
vated prow  and  stem,  and  well-propoi- 
tioned  midship.  For  the  boat  she  employs 
250  to  lioO  eggs,  building  it  up  piecemeal, 
somewhat  after  the  manner  of  men,  binding 
together  the  individual  eggs  by  means  of  a 
powerful  water-proof  cement  into  a  substanj 
tial  and  complete  structure.  Unfortuntely 
we  are  unable  to  give  a  receipt  for  the 
water-proof  cement.  jThere  are  many  who 
would  like  to  have  it.  The  boat  is  built 
on  the  water,  abandoned  to  the  mercy  of 
the  wind  and  the  wave.  Thanks  to  the 
water-proof  cement,  she  can  neither  be 
broken,  wetted  or  sunk ;  she  is  safer  than  if 
she  were  copper-bottomed.  The  httle 
craft  it  must  be  remembered,  is  freighted 
with  life— each  of  its  250  or  aOO  little  state- 
rooms has  its  tenant.  After  a  few  days 
cruising  the  occupants  of  the  shells  come 
forth,  and  the  ship  is  destroyed.  But  those 
little  creatures  are  surely  not  mosquitoes ; 
they  appear  more  like  fish,  or  serpents,  or 
little  at&gOTtA.  On  closer  examination  they 
proveto  DC  what  everyone  knows  under 
the  name  of  "  wigglers,"  they  are  the  larvae 
of  the  mosquito.  They  wiggle  about  in 
the  well-known  way  for  a  week  or  two, 
and.  after  changmg  their  skins  two  or  three 
times,  they  assume  quite  a  new  form  and 
movement.  They  are  now  what  the  boys 
call  "  tumblers."  and  are  the  pupse  of  the 
mosquito.  In  about  a  week  it  the  weath- 
er, etc.,  be  favorable,  sonething  of  the  form 
of  a  mosquito  may  be  seen  through  the 
transparent  skin  of  the  tumbler.  Shortly 
the  prisoner  escapes  from^iis  confinement 
as  a  full  fiedged  and  bold  mosquito,  and 
soars  away  In  search  of  food  and  pleasure.

The  Bachelors  ot  the  Country. 

BY  THE   FAT   CONTBLBCIOK. 

A  prominent  New  Yerk  Sunday  paper 
is  publishing  descriptive  sketches  of  prom- 
inent bachelors  in  the  leading  cities.  It  is 
wrong  to  confide  these  interesting  pen-pic- 
tures of  masculine  singularity  to  the  cities. 
Give  the  country  a  chance.  Here  are  a  few 
sketches  of  bachelors  in  the  country  which 
are  respectfully  submitted  to  a  discrimina- 
ting and  impartial  public. 

BACHELORS  OF   BUNGTOWN. 

Beth  Stringer  is  a  bachelor,  divorced  by 
an  Indiana  court.  He  is  thirty-eight 
years  old  in  his  stocking  feet,  and  so  much 
addicted  to  horses  that  he  is  in  jail  half  the 
time.  I  copy  a  description  of  him  taken 
from  a  handbill  I  found,  which  was 
headed  "  ilorse  Stolen  !— Fifty  Dollars  Re 
ward :" 

"  Beth  has  sorrel  eyes,  cream  colored 
hair,  good  teeth  (having  a  stolen  set),  black 
and  tan  moustache,  a  horse  laugh,  is  a  lit- 
tle lame  in  the  left  fore  shonliltT,  and 
stands  thirteen  hands  high.  lie  g«;ts  ac- 
qtiainted  with  strange  horses  very  fasily, 
and  has  an  engaging  way  in  leailiug  them 
off  by  the  halter.  He  talks  horse  talk  flu- 
ently and  continually,  except  when  you  ask 
him  to  drink,  when  he  ia  never  known  to 
B&yTiei'jh." 

Tony  Blinkers  Is  a  fat  jolly  old  bach,  of 
Bungtown,  weighing  about  three  hundred 
pounds  beer  measure.  A  "fat  take  "  for 
somebody.  Tony  is  rich,  and  several 
scheming  widows  have  tried  to  get  around 
him,  but  you  see  it  is  so  far  a  round !  He  is 
a  great  feeder.  When  asked  what  science 
he  considered  it  most  essential  for  a  woman 
to  study,  he  replied,  "  science  of  cookery." 
He  eats  fourteen  times  a  day,  and  as  to  his 
hcJtnts,  they  are  necessarily  loose  as  well  as 
large.  ' 

Tom  Phoolorlc  is  a  very  young  bachelor, 
who  sports  a  dyed  moustache,  and  &ncies 
the  girls  are  all  dying  about  it.  He  loafis 
about  the  tavern,  while  his  old  father  is 
pounding  out  a  living  for  him  in  his 
blachsmith  shop.  He  speaks  with  disdain 
of  "them  country  fellers"  who  work 
about  farms,  and  who  dont  live  in  the  "  vil- 
lage," and  he  is  an  a'ry  young  bachelor 
toward  the  country  girls  who  come  in  to  a 
Bungtown  ball.  Tt)m  isn't  much  of  a 
catch  for  any  sensible  woman,  nor  are 
any  of  the  Phoolorlc  family,  as  a  general 
thing. 

Jeff.  Rogers  is  sixty -eight,  and  excessive- 
ly unmarried.  He  was  so  from  a  boy. 
His  mother  thought  that  he  would  outgrow 
it,  but  he  never  has.  She  says :  "  I  don't 
know  where  on  alrth  he  ever  got  it.  Not 
f>om  me,  I'me  sure  for  fus  father  was  my 
fourth  husband."  He  lives  by  himself,  his 
only  companion  being  an  old  tom  cat  that 
he  18  trying  to  rear  in  the  way  he  should 
go.  He  does  his  own  washing  and  mend- 
ing ;  otherwise  he  is  a  good  neighbor,  a 
kind  member  of  the  School  Board,  an  af- 
fectionate politician,  a  devoted  euchre 
player,  a  fervent  bUlLardist,  a  pains  taking 
quoit  pitcher,  and  never  neglects  his  grog. 

BACHELOBS  OF  MUD  HOLLAR. 

Bill  Simpklns  is  the  oldest  bachelor  in 
Mud  Hollar,  being  one  hundred  and  eleven 
years  of  age.  His  teeth  are  gone,  and  Bill 
IS  rapidly  going  after  them.  He  is  well  off 
— probably  better  ofl'  than  any  where  else. 
He  has  had  several  ofl'ers  of  marriage,  but 
declined  them  all.  He  says  he  don't  be- 
lieve in  early  marriages.  Besides,  he  don't 
want  to  leave  his  mother. 

Pete  Miggins  is  a  spruce  bachelor  of 
thirty,  or  toirty-fivc,  or  forty  eight,  or 
thereabouts.  He  is  always  scrupulously 
dressed  in  liis  shirt  sleeves,  spectacles  and  a 
wooden  leg.  He  chews  tobacco,  but  prom- 
ises to  leave  ofl"  if  any  girl  will  will  have 
him. 

Jim  PlunkiOB  keeps  the  tavern  at  the 
Hollar.  He  is  a  bachelor  m  the  second  de- 
gree, his  wife  being  dead.  He  drives  a 
quart  of  whisky,  and  drinks  about  a  pair 
of  gray  mares  every  day.  He  is  gray  ex- 
cept the  top  of  his  head,  and  that  is  red 
and  shiny.  He  likes  to  take  the  women 
around— ne  took  his  old  mother  around  to 
the  poor-house  the  other  day. 

Ike  Cann  was  bom  a  bachelor— his  fa- 
ther being  a  bachelor  before  him.  So  Ike 
wasn't  to  blame  for  it.  He  drives  the  fast 
est  horse  in  town,  in  a  butcher's  cart ;  has 
had  the  mumps  twice,  and  reads  a  good 
runnmg  hand  as  tar  as  fractions.  He  has 
made  several  attempts  to  marry,  but,  as  he 
says,  "  though  Ike  Cann  do  some  things, 
Ike  can't  do  that" 

BACHKL0B8  OF  BOOT    HEEL  RON. 

Silas  Loam,  better  known  as  "  Old  Slle." 

Is  a  bachelor  of  seventy-four  summers.   He 

is  blind  in  one  eye,  and  at  the  time  I  saw 

I  him  the  othei  eye  bad  gone  to  the  wash. 


I  asked  him  how  much  he  was  worth.  He 
replied,  "  Not  much,  I  reckon,  at  my  age." 
He  is  a  little  shy  of  the  ladies  as  he  had  an 
innocent  and  confiding  brother  of  ninety- 
two  winters  (and  very  little  spring)  in- 
veigled by  a  promise  ot  marriage,  result- 
ing in  his  filling  an  early  grave. 

Johnny  Phlllup,  called  for  short,  Johnny 
Phillup  the  Bold,  is  about  as  good  a  bachel- 
or as  the  Run  ever  produced.  He  takes 
nearly  every  premium  at  the  Boot  Heel 
Run  Cattle  Show  (that  he  can  lay  his  hands 
on)  and  isn't  particular  about  removing 
the  cattle  from  them,  cither.  The  women, 
and  several  other  constables  are  all  alter 
Urn. 

Michael  Maginnis,  an  Italian  refugee 
from  France,  is  a  bachelor  with  two  wives 
in  Greece.  He  is  highly  accomplished, 
being  able  to  use  the  pick  and  shovel  In 
three  or  four  different  languages.  He  can 
handle  the  violin  beautifully  (In  a  rough 
and  tumble)  and  his  fingering  is  exquisite 
on  a  wheelbarrow.  I  will  give  an  illustra- 
tion of  his  skill  In  mathematics :  Being 
called  upon  to  make  his  income  retum, 
"  bedad,''^6aid  Mike,  (a  Greek  ejaculation) 
"  ill  come  is  it  ?  Faith  there's  so  little  com- 
en'  in  I'd  be  ashamed  to  return  it  to  onny 
mon."  This  shows  the  keen  Spanish  wit 
of  Michael.  Now,  one  for  Maginnis, 
What! 

Hans  Von  Pools  is  in  the  shoe  trade. 
Tne  painter,  economic  and  ingenious, 
painted  his  sign  to  read : 

:  HANS  VON 

:  POOTS  AND  SHOES. 

He  has  furnished  us  his  own  account 
of  himself :  "  I  pese  a  pachelor  mit  a  frow

der frows  vot  I  got  living  pese  ted.  My

ONE  MORE  jyS^i2iE  OXE. 

One  more  Insane  one 

Kuined  for  life. 
The  reason  a  plain  one,— 

He's  taken  a  wife. 

Loving  him  tenderly. 

This  widow  so  fair 
Trim  and  so  slenderly. 

Took  him  in  snare. 

Where  was  his  fetiier? 

Where  wa?  bis  mother ! 
Where  was  his  sister? 

Where  was  his  brother? 
Or  was  there  no  sharper  one 

Still  than  another  1 

For  the  bleak  winds  of  March 

He  cares  not  a  staver. 
Bat  his  wile's  "  frowning  arch  " 

Makes  him  tremble  and  shiver. 

Once  ho  looked  boldly. 
No  matter  how  coldly. 

Life's  currents  ran ; 
The  girls  he  could  wink  at  them. 
Smile  at  and  think  of  them, 

Like  a  gay  single  man ; 
Ill8  miseries  now  shrink  at  them— 

Be  wise !  wise  when  yon  can. 

C'iin.  a  3iame  b«   SSfrned  Twice 
Alike? 

A  very  interesting  will  case  is  now  going 
on  in  "Ma.ssachueetts.  Miss  Robinson 
claims,  under  a  bequest,  the  property  of 
her  aunt.  Miss  Howland,  valued  at  several 
huiidred  thousand  dollars,  and  produces  a 
will,  and  a  subsequent  declaration  confirm 
ing  and  explaining  the  will.  This  declara- 
tion bears  signatures  exactly  similar  to  the 
will,  and  the  defence  claim  tliat  they  were 
traced  from  the  undoulited  signature  to  the 
will,  aud  that  they  are  too  exactly  like  that 
signature  to  be  genuine.  This  is  the  sworn 
opinion  of  several  experts.  Some  of  them 
testify  to  having  discovered  signs  that  the 
doubtful  signatures  were  first  written  with 
lead  pencil  and  afterwards  with  pen  and 
ink.  Professor  Agassiz  swears  that  he  is 
unable  to  delect  such  signs  with  a  micro- 
scope ;  other  experts  testify  that  such  close 
resemblances  between  signatures  of  the 
same  person  written  at  dlilerent  times  are 
not  impossible  or  navel,  and  that  it  is  pre- 
cisely in  such  a  cramped  hand-writing  as 
Miss  Howland's  that  they  are  lo  be  looked 
for.  Professor  Pierce  was  called  in  as  au- 
thority upon  the  doctrine  of  chances.  He 
said: 

"  In  the  case  of  Sylvia  Ann  Howland, 
this  phenemenou — the  exact  coincidence  of 
signatures — could  only  occur  once  in  the 
number  of  times  expressed  in  the  thirtieth 
power  of  five  or  more— exactly,  it  is  once 
in  two  thousand  six  hundred  and  sixty-six 
millions  of  millions  of  millions  of  times  or 
2,666,0000,000,000,000,000.  This  number 
far  transcends  human  experience.  So  vast 
an  improbability  is  practically  an  impossi- 
bility. Such  evanescent  shadows  of  pro- 
bability cannot  belong  to  an  actual  life. 
They  are  unimaginably  less  than  the  least 
things  which  the  law  cares  not  for.  The 
coincidence  which  is  presented  to  us  in  this 
case  cannot  therefore  be  regarded  as  having 
occurred  in  the  ordinary  course  ot  signing 
a  name.  Under  a  solemn  sense  of  the  re- 
sponsibility involved  in  the  assertion,  I  de- 
clare that  the  coincidence  which  has  here 
occurred  must  have  had  its  origin  In  an  in 
lention  to  produce  it." 

This  view  is  strengthened  by  the  fact 
that  the  signatures  to  the  will  and  to  the 
declaration  were  not  written  on  ruled  lines, 
which  makes  an  exact  coincidence  still 
more  improbable. 

A  minor,  but  important  question  related 
to  the  comparative  excellence  of  the  Globe 
and  Voigtlander  lenses.  The  principal  ex- 
pert on  one  side  used  one,  the  expert  on 
the  other  side  used  the  other. 

A  Leaf  of  History. 

Pollard,  the  Southern  historian,  gives 
the  following  account  of  the  manner  by 
which  General  McClellan  became  aware  of 
the  intended  movements  of  Gteneral  Lee. 
When  he  moved  to  Boonsborough  and  Ha- 
gerstown,  to  await  Jackson's  operations, 
there  curiously  fell  into  his  hands  a 
cony  of  the  order  which  General  Lee  had 
prepared  at  Frederick,  detailing,  with  ex- 
actitude, the  proposed  movements  of  the 
several  portions  of  his  army.  The  paper 
had  been  conveyed  lo  General  D.  H.  Hill, 
who,  from  some  cause  of  dissatisfaction, 
and  in  a  characteristic  fit  of  impatience, 
tossed  it  to  the  ground,  and,  lying  there 
forgotten,  was  picked  up  by  a  soldier  of 
the  Federal  army  and  forwarded  at  once 
to  McClellan,  who  thus  became  possessed 
of  the  exact  detail  of  his  adversary's  plan 
of  operations. 

— Mr.  Weber,  one  of  the  samns  of  Zu- 
rich, Switzerland  recently  examined  the 
stomachs  of  a  number  of  moles  caught  in 
different  localities,  but  failed  to  discover 
therein  the  slightest  vestage  of  plants  or 
roots ;  whereas  they  were  filled  by  the  re- 
mains of  earth  worms.  He  shut  up  sever- 
al of  these  animals  in  a  box  containing 
earth  and  sod  with  growing  grass  and  a 
smaller  case  of  grub  or  earth  worms.  In 
nine  days  two  moles  devoured  341  white 
worms,  193  earth  worms,  25  caterpillars, 
aud  a  dead  mouse.  Fed  with  a  mixed  diet 
of  raw  meat  and  vegetables,  the  moles  ate 
the  meat  and  left  the  plants;  and  when 
vegetables  exclusively  were  dealt  out  to 
them,  in  twenty-foiu:  hours  ,both  died  of 

starvation.

Tisit  to  a  Pork-PackiBK  Honte. 

In  his  very  readable  article  on  Cincin 
nati,  published  in  the  Atlantic  Monthly, 
James  Parton  gives  tlie  following  account 
of  a  visit  to  one  of  the  great  pork-packing 
establishments  of  that  city  — 

Every  one  thinks  of  pork  in  connection 
with  Cincinnati.  In  "  The  Banner  Slaugh- 
ter and  Pork- Packing  House,"  vrliicb  con- 
tains all  the  improved  apparatwa,  hogs 
weighing  five  or  six  hundred  pounds  arc 
killed,  scraped,  dressed,  cut  up,  sailed,  and 
packed  in  a  barrel,  in  twenty  seconds,  on 
an  average ;  and  at  this  rate  the  work  is 
done,  ten  hours  a  day,  during  the  season  of 
four  months. 

It  is  a  large,  clean,  new  brick  building, 
with  extensive  yards  adjoining  it,  filled 
with  hogs  from  the  forests  and  farms  of 
Ohio,  Indiana  and  Kentucky.  From  these 
yards  to  the  third  story  of  the  house  there 
is  an  inclined  plane,  up  which  a  procession 
of  animals  march  slowly  lo  their  doom 
from  morning  until  evening.  Here  is  the 
first  economy.  The  thing  lo  be  done  is  to 
transfer  the  pigs  from  those  yards  to  the 
basement  of  the  building,  and  on  the  way 
convert  them  into  salt  pork.  They  walk 
to  the  scene  of  the  massacre  at  the  top  of 
the  building,  and  the  descent  to  the  cellar 
accomplishes  itself  by  the  natural  law 
which  causes  every  thing  to  seek  the  centei 
of  the  earth.  Arrived  at  the  summit,  the 
fifteen  foremost  find  themselves  "  in  a  tight 
place" — squeezed  into  a  pen  in  which  they 
must  remain  standing  from  lack  of  room  to 
lie  down.  There  are  two  of  these  pens, 
and  two  pen  men,  so  that  the  moment  one 
is  empty  there  is  another  ready  filled,  and 
the  work  thus  goes  on  without  interrup- 
tion. The  fifteen  animals  which  stand 
compressed,  with  their  Leads  thrust  up- 
ward, awaiting  the  stroke  of  fate,  express 
their  emotions  in  the  language  natural  to 
them,  and  the  noise  is  great.  The  execu- 
tioner, armed  with  a  long-handled,  slender 
hammer,  and  sitting  astride  of  the  fence, 
gives  to  each  of  these  yelling  creatures  his 
quietus  by  a  blow  upon  the  head.  The  pig 
does  not  fall  when  he  is  struck ;  he  cannot ; 
he  only  stares  and  becomes  silent.  When 
silence  within  the  pen  announces  the  sur- 
render of  its  ocrupants,  a  door  is  open- 
ed, and  the  oenselcss  pigs  are  laid  ia  a  row 
up  an  inclined  plane,  at  the  bottom  of 
which  is  a  long  trough  of  hot  water. 

One  of  the  artists,  called  "  the  sticker," 
now  appears,  provided  with  a  long,  thin, 
pointea  knife,  and  approaches  the  pig  near 
est  the  steaming  trough,  gently  Ufts  its  fore 
leg,  and  gives  it  one  easy,  delicate,  graceful 
thrust  in  tic  throat  Along  the  trough,  on 
each  side  of  it,  is  a  row  of  men,  each  with 
an  instrument  in  his  hand,  waiting  to  be- 
gin ;  and  apart  from  them  stands  the  head 
scalder,  who  ranks  stcond  in  the  corps, 
having  the  task  of  all  the  greatest  difficulty 
to  perform  Scald  a  pig  ten  seconds  too 
long,  or  in  water  twenty  degrees  too  hot, 
aud  he  comes  out  as  red  as  a  lobster  ;  let 
the  water  be  loo  cool,  or  keep  the  animal  in 
it  too  short  a  time,  and  the  labor  of  scrap- 
ing it  is  trebled.  Into  the  hot  water  the 
hogs  are  soused  at  intervals  of  twenty  sec- 
onds, and  the  ecalder  elands,  watching  the 
clock  and  occasionally  trying  the  tempera- 
ture of  the  water  witli  his  finger,  or  the  ad 
herence  of  the  hair  of  the  creatuie  first  to 
bo  handled.  "Number  one,"  he  says  at 
length.  By  a  machine- for  the  purpose 
number  one  is  turned  over  on  a  long,  de- 
clining table,  where  he  lies  smoking.  At 
the  same  time  two  men  pull  out  his  valua- 
ble bristles  and  put  them  in  a  barrel,  and 
two  other  men  scrape  one  side  of  him  with 
scrapers.  In  a  few  seconds  these  turn  him 
over  and  pass  him  on  to  two  other  scrap- 
ers, who  ecrape  the  other  side,  and  then 
slide  him  along  to  four  other  men,  who  trim 
and  finisii  him,  leaving  not  a  hair  on  his 
s<"tft  and  quivering  body.  Then  he  falls 
into  the  hands  of  two  "gamblemen,"  who 
insert  a  stick  to  keep  the  hind  legs  apart, 
and,  by  the  aid  of  a  machine,  Lang  him  up 
with  his  head  downward.  Next,  the  am 
mal  is  consigned  to  the  greatest  artist  of 
all,  who  periorms  the  operation  so  much  in 
favor  among  the  nobility  of  Japan  This 
artist,  weregrct  l«9»y,\)UlwiU  laotfconce&l 
from  a  loo  tastidious  public,  is  called  "  the 
gutter."  One  long,  swift  cut  down  the 
whole  length  of  the  body,  two  or  three 
rapid  in-and-out  cuts  in  the  inside,  and  the 
entire  respiratory  and  digsstive  apparatus 
lies  smokiLg  upon  a  table,  under  the  hands 
of  men  who  are  removing  from  it  the  ma- 
terial for  lard.  This  operation,  here  per- 
formed in  twenty  seconds,  and  which  is 
frequently  done  by  the  saaie  man  fifieeu 
hundred  times  a  day,  lakes  an  ordinary 
butcher  ten  minutes.  This  man  earns  six 
dollars  and  a  half  a  day,  while  no  one  else 
receives  more  than  lour  ;  and  if  he  is  ab- 
sent from  his  post,  his  substitute,  who  has 
seen  the  thing  done  for  years,  can  only 
perform  it  one-fifth  as  fast,  and  the 
day's  work  of  the  house  is  reduced  to  one- 
fifth  of  its  ordinary  pnxluction. 

The  long  room,  in  which  the  creatures 
are  put  to  death,  £culded  and  japanned, 
presents,  as  may  be  imagined,  a  most  hor- 
rible scene  of  massacre  and  blood— of  steam- 
ing water,  and  flabby,  caked,  quivering 
hogs — of  men  in  oilskin  suits,  all  shining 
with  wet  and  grease.  The  rest  of  the  es- 
tablishment is  perfectly  clean  and  agree- 
able. The  moment  the  body  of  the  animal 
Is  emptied,  a  boy  inundates  it  with  a  hose, 
and  then  another  boy  pushes  il  along  the 
wire  from  which  il  hangs  on  a  wheel,  and 
takes  it  to  its  plact;  in  the  coohng  room, 
where  it  hangs  all  night.  This  cooling 
is  a  curious  spectacle.  It  contains  two 
regiments  of  suspended  hogs,  arranged  in 
long,  regular  rows— one  regiment  the  re- 
sult of  to  day's  operations,  the  other  of 
yesterday's. 

The  cutting  up  of  these  huge  carcasses 
is  accomplished  with  the  same  easy  and 
wonderful  rapidity.  The  first  that  we 
chanced  to  see  cut  to  pieces  was  an  enor- 
mous fellow  of  six  hundred  pounds,  and  it 
was  done  in  just  one-third  of  a  minute. 
Two  men  tumbled  him  over  upon  a  wagon, 
wheeled  him  to  the  scales,  where  his  weight 
was  instantly  ascertained  aud  recorded. 
Near  by  was  the  cutting  table,  upon  which 
he  was  immediately  flopped.  "Two  simul- 
taneous blows  with  a  cleaver  severed  his 
head  and  his  hind  quarters  from  the  tmnk, 
and  the  subdivibion  of  these  was  accom- 
plished by  three  or  four  cuts  with  the  same 
instrument.  Near  the  table  are  the  open 
mouths  of  as  many  large  woodsn  pipes  as 
there  are  kinds  of  pieces  in  a  hog,  and 
these  lead  to  the  various  apartments  be- 
low, where  the  several  pieces  arc  further 
dealt  with.  Gently  down  the<r  well- 
greased  pipe  slip  the  hams  to  the  smoking 
department ;  away  glide  the  sailing  pieces 
to  the  cellar ;  the  lard-leaves  slide  softly 
down  to  the  trying-room  ;  the  trimmings 
of  the  hams  vanish  silently  d<iwn  their 
pipes  to  the  sausage- room  ;  the  tongue,  the 
feet,  and  every  atom  of  flesh  start  on  their 
journey  to  the  places  where  they  are  want- 
ed ;  and  thus,  in  the  twenty  seconds,  the 
six-hundred-pounder  has  been  cut  to  pieces 
and  distributed  all  over  the  extensive 
building. 

The  deliver}  of  three  finished  hogs  a 
minute  requires  the  following  force  of  men  : 
two  pen-men,  one  knocker-down,  one 
sticker,  two  bristle-snatchers,  four  scrapers, 
six  shavers,  (who  remove  the  hair  from 
parts  not  reached  by  the  scrapers,)  two 
gamble  men,  one  gutter,  one  hose-boy,  one 
slide- boy,  one  splitter,  (who  fastens  the 
animal  open  to  facilitate  cooling,)  two  at- 
tendants upon  the  cutters,  one  weigher 
two  cleaver  men,  four  knife-men,  one  ham- 
trimmer,  one  shoulder-trimmer,  one  packer, 
six  ham-salters,  one  weigher  and  brander, 
one  lard -man,  one  book-keeper,  seven  por- 
ters and  laborers — in  all,  fifty  men.  The 
system,  therefore,  enables  one  man  to  con- 
vert into  pork,  thirty  hogs  a  day.  The 
proprietors  of  these  packing-houses  pay 
the  owners  of  tne  animals  sUty  cents  each 
for  the  privilege  of  killing  them,  and  de- 
rive their  profits  from  the  refuse.  The 
bristles  of  a  hog  are  worth  seventeen  cents, 
his  tongue  five  cents,— the  hair  and  the  fat 
of  the  intestines  pay  the  entire  cost  cf  kill- 
ing, dressing  and  packing.

TUE   OPE^^r   POLAR   SEA. 

Arctic  adventure,  notwithstanding  its 
grim  monotony,  seems  lo  be  the  only  kind 
ol  travel  of  which  neither  tulventurera 
nor  readers  ^\cary.  The  same  men  who 
have  already  dared  tne  "  pack"  and  the 
iceberg,  the  sunless  dark  and  cruel  cold, 
are  always  tasclnated  by  the  scene  of  their 
perils  and  suUerings,  and  return  to  it,  if 
possible,  once  and  again.  Perhaps  it  is 
that  there  is  an  attraction  for  resolute 
spirits  in  solitudes  which  only  a  few— and 
olten  none— of  their  fellow-creatures  have 
visited  before  ,  but  it  is  certainly  curious 
that  so  many  expeditions  should  have  been 
un'lertaken,  not  only  voluntarily,  but  en- 
thusiastically, to  so  desolate  and  arid  a 
region.  While  any  hope  of  finding  a  prac- 
ticable north-west  passage  existed,  any 
possibility  of  their  being  th^  first  to  bear 
their  country's  Hag  athwart  the  North,  and 
to  part  the  waters  of  the  Pacitic  at  its  head 
with  their  patient  keel,  one  could  Imagine 
the  charm  of  such  an  enterprise  ;  but  now 
that  the  feasibility  ol  penetrating  the  world 
in  that  direction  has  been  utterly  disproved 
it  is  curious  indeed,  that  the  North  Pole 
should  have  almost  the  same  attraction  for 
many  hardy  and  intelligent  men  as  it  has 
for  needles. 

With  regard  to  the  leaders  of  such  ex- 
peditlcvnB,  who  thoitmgWy  underatand  the 
scientific  objects  to  be  attained,  and  reap 
their  reward  in  attaining  them ;  who  call 
gigantic  clltls,  and  capes,  and  bays  by  their 
own  names,  it  is  not  so  strange  But  how 
the  rank  and  file  can  be  so  easily  induced 
to  accompany  their  captains,  and  fight 
against  such  terrible  Iws  for  a  cause  of 
which  they  know  nothing,  is  really  re- 
markable. Science.  Indeea,  may  in  this 
case  boast  of  as  faith  fhl  and  salf-abnegatlve 
votariis  as  Superstition  herself.  She  has 
only,  it  seems,  to  exhibit  a''unlfllar  mag- 
netometer," a  "  Wurdeman  compass,"  and 
a  lew  box  and  pocket  chronometers,  and 
Half  the  able-bodied  seamen  in  New  York 
or  Liverpool  are  prepared  to  plant  her 


standard  on  the  uttermost  Ice-fields  of  the 
North.  The  "  reflecting  circle,"  which  is 
also  included  in  her  outfit,  finds  no  paral- 
lel in  fA^w;  with  an  unquestioning  obedi- 
ence, they  cheerfully  set  forth  to  do  her 
unknown  behests,  and  only  too  often  perish 
ia  accomplishing  them. 

What  would  appear  lo  be  a  discourage- 
mtiul  itsell  amounting  to  repal?ion,  is  the 
necessity  of  passing  the  long  arctic  night 
before  anything  can  be  done  at  all :  the 
invariable  procedure  being  to  set  oni  in 
autumn,  push  northwards  as  fcir  as  the  ice- 
pack will  permit,  and  then  go  into  winter 
quarters,  in  preparation  for  the  only  time 
for  action,  the  brief  arctic  spring.    It  is 
indeed  a  strange  and  dreadful  sort  of  en- 
terprise, this  invasion  of  King  Winter's 
proper  realm,  and  strange  Is  tbe  panoply 
employed.    The  ship,  however  small,  must 
needs  be  armor- plated  at  the  bows,  sheathed 
with    thick  planking,  and    crossed  with 
heavy  beams,  for  warfare  with  the  solid 
sea— I.  e.  the  "  pack "  through  which  it 
must  be  pushed,  and  not  those  slow-mov- 
ing, pale-green  mountains,  with  their  heads 
above  the  mast,  to  strike  against  which  is 
instant   destruction.     The   store  of  pro- 
visions, too,  which  are  of  an  unusual  kind, 
ia  immense,  since  no  one  knows  whether 
the  voyage  will  last  for  one  year,  or  for  two 
or    three;   nay,    whether   those    uprisen 
waves,  made  rigid  ere  their  anger  can  b« 
bpent,  as  knights  of  old  by  magician's  evil 
spell,  may  not  forbid  escape  and  keep  them 
Winter's  prisoners  for  life.    It  ia  essential, 
during  that  long  depressing  night  which 
knows  no  dawn,  that  no  creature-comfort 
shall  at  least  be  wanting,  and  therefore  the 
items  of  supply,  even  of  the  humblest  ex- 
peditions of  this  nature,  read  more  like 
ihosfi  of  a  fashionable  pic-nlc  partv,  than 
the  provision-list  of  a  schooner,    "f  he  ship 
UiiUed  Staia,  in  which  Dr.  Hayes  sailed 
from  Boston,  in  July  1S60,  to  ascertain  for 
certain  the  existence  of  an  Open  Polar 
tiea,  was  a  vessel  of  this  kind.    His  crew 
consisted  of  bnt  fourteen  men,  all  told,  and 
he  had  only  one  scientific  associate  among 
them,  Mr.    Bonntag,    fated  to  leave  his 
bones  in  that   inhospitable  clime.    This 
little  party  was,  however,  as  1  have  hinted, 
well  "found  "  in  all  things  necessary,  and, 
indeed,  they  had  rather  an  embarrassment 
of  such  riches.    The  ship  was  so  loaded, 
that  "standing  in  the  gangway,  you  could 
at  any  time  lean  over  the  monkey- rail,  and 
toucn  the  sea  with  your  fingers."    During 
some  "  rough  liandling"  in  the  strait  called 
Davis'— but  which  might  be  called  any- 
body's who  has  ever  experienced  it — the 
captain's  cabin  (six  feet  by  ten)  was  fio<xi- 
ed  a  dozen  times  a  day,  and  the  sailors 
were  literally  drowned  out  of  the  forecaa- 
tla.    Yet  this  was  but  as  summer-yachting 
ip  the  Solent,  lo    their  subsec^uent  rubs 
with  icebergs.    For  daye,  the  Greenland 
fog  concealed  these  giant  foes,  but  at  last  it 
lifted,  and  berg  after  ber^  burst  into  view, 
"  like  castles  in  a  fairy  taie." 

The  sudden  change  to  sunlight,  and  what 
it  showed,  was  something  marvelous.  "The 
bergs  had  wholly  lost  their  chilly  aspect, 
and  glittering  in  the  blaze  of  the  brilliant 
heavens,  seemed,  in  the  distance,  like 
inasses  of  burnished  metal  or  solid  flame. 
Kearer  at  hand,  they  were  huge  blocka  ol 
Parian  marble,  Inlaltjl  with  mammoth  gems 
of  pearl  and  opal ;  one  in  particular,  ex- 
hibited the  oerfection  of  the  grand.  Its 
torm  was  not  nnlike  tbat  ot  the  Oolifieam, 


and  it  lay  so  far  away  that  half  ita  height 
waa  buried  beneath  the  line  of 
blood-red  waters.  The  sun,  slowly  roll- 
ing along  the  horizon,  passed  behind  it, 
and  it  seemed  as  If  the  old  Roman  ruin 
had  suddenly  taken  fire.  In  the  shadows 
of  the  bergs,  the  water  was  a  rich  green, 
and  nothing  could  be  more  soft  and  tender 
than  the  gradations  of  color  made  by  the 
sea,  shoaling  on  the  sloping  tongue  of  a 
berg  close  beside  us.  The  tint  increased 
in  intensity  where  the  ice  overhung  the 
water,  and  a  deep  cavern,  near  by,  exhibit- 
ed the  solid  color  of  the  malachite,  mingled 
vrith  the  transparency  of  the  emerald; 
while,  in  strange  contrast,  a  broad  streak 
of  cobalt  blue  ran  diagonally  through  its 
body."  These  beautiful  miracles  of  nature 
are  sometimes  of  an  incredible  size.  In 
Tcpsnissak  Bay  there  was  one  which  had 
been  gronndcil,  the  natives  said,  for  two 
vears,  and  which,  being  almost  square-sided 
above  the  sea,  must  have  borne  the  same 
shape  beneath  it,  so  that  its  contents  could 
be  approximated  to ,  the  wall  which  faced 
thediore  was  more  than  three  hundred 
feet  high,  and  a  tiuarter  of  a  mile  long,  so 
that  Dr.  Hayes  estimated  it  to  weigh  some 
thing  like  two  thousand  millions  ol  tons. 
It  had  stranded  in  a  depth  of  half  a  nule. 

Once  only,  the  well-steered  vessel   fell 
foul  of  one  of  these   floating    monsters. 
"The  schooner  struck  on  the  starboard 
quarter,  and  the  shock,  slight  though  it 
was,  disengaged  some  fragments  of  ice  thai 
were  large  enough  to  have  crushed  the  ves- 
sel, had  they  struck  her,  and  also  many  Ut- 
tlo  lumps  which  rattled  about  us— but,  for- 
tunately, no  person  was  hit.    The  «|uarter- 
deck  was  quickly  cleared,  and  all  hands, 
crowding  forward,  anxiously  watched  the 
boat.    The  berg  now  began  lo  revolve,  and 
was  settling  slowly  over  us;    the   little 
lumps  fell  thicker  and  faster  upon  the  after- 
deck,  and  the  forecaello  waa  the  only  place 
where  there  was  the  least  chance  of  safely. 
At  length,  the  berg  itself  saved  us  from  de- 
struction ,  an  immense  mass  broke  oft  from 
that  part  which  was  beneath  the  surface 
of  the  sea,  and  this,  a  dozen  times  larger 
than  the  schooner,  came  rushing  up  with- 
in a  lew  yarelfi  of  us,  sending  a  vast  volume 
of  foam  and  water  flying  from  its  sides. 
This  rupture  arrested  the  revolution,  and 
the  berg  began  to  settle  in  the  opposite  di 
rection.    And  now  came  another  daiiger 
A  long  tongue  was  protruding  immediate- 
ly underneath  the  schooner ;  already,  the 
keel  was  slipping  and  grinding  upon  it, 
and  it  seemea  probable  tnat  we  should  be 
knocked  up  into  the  air  like  a  football,  or 
at  least  capsized."    But  once  more  the  berg 
itself  came  to  their  relief,  for  ita  opposite 
side  began  to  split,  piece  by  piece,  and  sent 
tho  huge  mass  revolving  bacx  again.    The 
reports  tollowed  in  such  quick  succession 
that  "  the  whole  air  seemed  a  reservoir  of 
Irighllul   sound,"    but   the   hard    words 
broke  no  bones,  and  the  Utile  schooner  es- 
caped from  its  terrible  foe—"  still  rocking 
and  rolling  like  a  thing  of  life,"  and  emit- 
ing  great  cascades  from  its  split  sides  into 
the  foaming  sea— with  life,  though  without 
a  mainboom.    For  five  hours  this  Titan 
tumbling  and  crashing  continued,  and  then 
from  the  mass  "  a  piece  about  a  mile  long, 
and  a  hundred  feet  high,  came  oil,  with  a 
report  which  could  not  have  been  exceed- 
ed by  a  thousand  pieces  of  artillery  simul- 
taneously discharged,"  which   concluded 
the  display  (as  it  well  might),  except  that 
that  the  two  fragments  kept  wallowing  in 
the  sea  for  hours  afterwards. 

These  iceberg  troubles  assailed  our  voy- 
agers   in    Baflln's    Bay;  but    when  tHfey 
reached  Smith's  Sound,  and  endeavored 
to  make  their  way  so  far  as  Cape  Hather 
ton,  intending  there  to  winter,  came  the 
worse  dangers  of  the  pack-ice.     Owing  to 
tlie  great  audacity  of  its  captain,  the  little 
Bchoemer  was  actually  beset  in  mid  chan- 
nel.   The  Ice  came  so  rapidly  down  the 
Sound  that  it  nipped  and  held  the  ship. 
The  dreadful  change  from  comparatively 
open  water  to  "  pack"  was  marvellously 
sudden.    The  scene  around  us  was  aa  im- 
posiag  as  it  was  marxelloua.    Except  the 
earthquake  and  volcano,  there  is  not  in 
nature  an  exhibition  ot  force  comparable 
with  that  of  the  Ice-fielda  of  the  Arctic  acas. 
They  close  together,  when  driven  by  the 
wind  or  by  currents  against  the  land  or 
other  resisting  object,  with  the  pressure  of 
millions  of  moving  tons,   and  the  crash, 
and  noise,  and  confusion  arc  truly  terrific. 
We  were  now  in  the  midst  of  one  of  the 
most  thrilling  of  these  exhibitions  of  polar 
dynamics,  and  we  became  uncomfortably 
conscious  that  the  schooner  was  to  become 
a  sort  of  dynamometer.    Vast  ridges  were 
thrown  up  wherever  the  floes  came  to- 
gether, to  be  submerged  again  when  the 
pressure  was  exerted  in  a oother  quarter ; 
and  over  the  sea  aroun  1  us  these  pulsating 
lines  ot  uplift,  which  in  some  cases  reached 
an  altitude  of  sixty  feet — higher  than  our 
mast-head— told  of  the  strength  and  power 
of  the  enemy  which  was  threatening  us. 
At   length   the   ice  actually  touched  the 
schooner,    and  as   if  with  the  elevating 
power  of  a  thousand  jack-screws,  we  found 
ourselves  going  up  into  the  air.    Thus  in- 
voluntary  exdted,   they  remained  for  a 
very  anxious  eight  hours ;  but  fortunately, 
the  monster  floes  changed  their  course  lo 
the  westward,  and  causing  the  one  upon 
which  the  schooner  hung  to  revolve,  set 
the  United  States  free,  though  sorely  dam- 
aged ,  the  hold  filled  with  water,  the  rud- 
der split,  the  sternpost  started,  and  the 
whole  ship  rendered  notjonly  longer  no  Ice- 
proof  but  unse^worthy. 

With  extreme  diflacully,  they  got  Into  a 
bay.  they  christened  Port  Foulke  (alter  the 
chief  promoter  of  the  expe<litlon)  and 
there  determined  lo  winter.  Everybody 
is  acquainted  with  the  manner  of  taking 
things  snug  in  an  Arctic  harbor  :  the  roof- 
ing in  of  the  deck ;  the  clearing  out  ot  the 
hold  (as  being  the  warmest  place  for  the 
men  lo  live  in) .  and  the  conveying  {of  the 
cargo  on  shore.  The  peculiarity  ol  the 
present  case  was  the  extraordinary  number 
of  live-stock  in  the  bhape  of  some  Es 
quimaux  do,^s,  there  were  no  less  than 
thirty  of  these  magnificent  ■«  ild  beasts  on 
board  (purchased  at  a  great  price — on  ac- 
count of  a  canine  disease  then  prevalent, 
which  made  them  scarce — at  various  na- 
tive stations  along  the  coast"),  and  It  may 
be  imagined  how  pleasant  it|wa8  lo  house 
them  in  the  snow- wall  built  round  the  ship, 
and  get  their  room  instead  of  their  compa- 
The  expedition  thus  possessed  no  less 


ny. 


than  three  first  rate  "  teams."  Dr.  Hayes 
himself  had  what  he  justly  entitles  "  a  re- 
spectable turn  out" — twelve  dogs  and  a 
fine  sledge.  The  animals  are  in  most  ex- 
cellent condition,  every  one  of  them  strong 
and  healthy ;  and  they  are  very  fleet. 
They  whirl  my  Greenl^d  sledge  over  the 
Ice  with  a  celerity  not  calculated  for  weak 
nerves.  I  have  acttudly  ridden  behind 
them  over  sixteen  measured  miles  in  twen- 
ty-eight minutes :  and  without  stopping  to 
blow  the  team,  have  relumed  in  thirty- 
three.  Sontag  and  I  had  a  race,  and  I  beat 
him  by  four  minutes.  I  should  like  to  have 
some  of  my  friends  of  Saratoga  and  Point 
Breeze  up  here,  to  show  them  a  new  style 
of  speeding  animals.  Our  racers  do  not 
require  any  blanketing  alter  the  heats,  or 
sponging  cither  We  harness  them  each 
with  a  single  trace,  and  tnese  traces  are  of 
a  length  to  suit  the  driver— the  longer  the 
better,  for  they  are  then  not  so  easily  tan- 
gled, the  draft  of  the  outside  dogs  Is  more 
direct ;  and  if  the  team  comes  upon  thin 
ice,  and  breaks  through,  your  chance  of 
escape  fi-om  immmersioa  are  in  proportion 
to  lh'3ir  distance  from  you.  The  traces  are 
all  the  sanie  length,  and  hence  the  dogs  run 
side  by  side,  and  when  property  harnessed 
their  heads  are  in  a  line.  My  trace*  are  so 
measured  that  the  shoulders  of  the  dogs  are 
just  twenty  feet  from  the  forward  part  of 
the  runners.  The  team  is  guided  solely  by 
the  whip  and  voice.  The  strongest  clogs 
are  placed  on  the  outside,  and  the  whole 
team  is  swayed  lo  right  and  left  according 
as  the  whip  falls  on  the  snow  to  the  one 
side  or  the  other,  or  as  it  touches  the  lead- 
ing dogs  as  It  la  sure  to  do  if  they  do  not 
obey  the  gentle  hint  with  sufficient  alac- 
rity. The  voice  aids  the  whip,  but  in  all 
emergenaes  the  whip  is  the  only  real  reli' 


ance.  Your  control  oyer  the  team  ia  in 
exact  proportion  to  your  skill  in  the  use  of 
it.  The  lash  Is  about  four  feel  longer  than 
tiie  traces,  and  Is  tipped  .vllh  a  "cracker" 
of  hard  sinew,  with  which  a  skilful  driver 
can  draw  blood  11  so  inclined  ;  and  he  can 
touch  any  one  of  his  animals  on  any  par- 
ticular spot  that  may  suit  his  purpose. 
Jensen  had  to-day  a  young  refractory  dog 
in  the  team,  and  having  had  his  patience 
quite  exhausted,  he  resolved  upon  extreme 
measures.  "  You  see  dat  beast  ?"  said  he. 
"  I  takes  a  piece  out  of  his  car ;"  and  sure 
enough  crack  went  the  whip;  the  hard 
sinew  wound  roimd  the  tip  of  the  ear,  and 
nipped  it  ott  as  nicely  as  with  a  knife." 

It  waa  absolutely  necessary  to  resort  to 
these  extreme  measures     These  dogs  are 
as  wild  as  wolves,  and  even  more  raven- 
ous.    They  will  eat  anything,  including 
their  own  harness,  if,  as  usual,  made  of 
skin.    The  ferocity  with  which  (hey  tear 
their  food  is  something  terrible  to  witness. 
Even  the  lashings  of  the  sledge  are  not 
safe  from  ihem,  and  have  to  be  buried  out 
of  sight  at  camplDg-timc.    During  one  ex- 
pedition, they  ate  up  their  drivers'  extra 
boolB,    together    with    their    fur    stock- 
ings, ami  even  a  m«crbchaum  pipe  which 
happened  lo  have  a  seal  skin  cover.    On 
another  occasion,  one  ol  their  fellows  be- 
ing'unablr  cither  to  pull  or  follow,  had  to 
bo  s'hot     As  soon  as  the  bullet  struck  the 
animal,  wounding  him  but  slightly,  and 
causing  him  to  set  up  a  terrible  cry,  his 
companions  in  the  team  flow  upon  him, 
and  tore  him  to  pieces  in  an  Instant ;  and 
those  who    were  lucky  enough  lo  get  a 
fragment  of  him,  were  tearing  his  flesh 
from  his  bones  almost  before  the  echo  of 
his  last  howl  had  died  away  in  the  solitude. 
Nay,  Dr    Hayes,  who  is  very   fond  and 
proud  of  them,  is  obliged  to  confess  that 
"  the  wretches  would  eat  us  up  if  we  gave 
them  the   least  chance.    Knox  stumoled 
among  the  pack  yesterday  while  feeding 
them,  and  had  not  M'Donald  pounced  up 
on    them  on  the  instant,  I  believe  Ihcy 
would  have  made  a  meal  of  him  before  he 
could  rise  "    Yet  when,  as  happened,  these 
animals  were  all  attacked  by  the  unknown 
disease  above  alluded  to,  our  author  be- 
wailed their  loss  with  reason,  for  without 
them  Arctic  exploration  is  almost  impossi- 
ble.   The  symptoms  were  something  akin 
to  hydrophobia,  and  it  may  be   imagined 
what  those  dogs  did  under  such  aggrava- 
ting circumstances. 

Life  on  board  went  on  as  usual  in  those 
latitudes  ,  every  effort  was  made  to  be  jolly 
notwithslandiug  the  darknc^ss  and  the  cola, 
every  man's  birthday  was  kept ,  every  fes- 
tival of  the  church  was  honored  with  a 
banquet;  the  Port  Foulke  Weekly  News 
was  started ;  and,  thanks  to  the  general 
cheerfXilness,  Dr.  Hayes's  benignant  rule, 
and,  above  all,  to  a  large  stock  of  pre 
served  vegetables,  that  scourge  of  Arctic 
travel,  scurvy,  was  wholly  avoided.  Their 
chief  physical  trouble  was  frozen  limbs, 
the  cure  for  which  was  lo  place  the  limb 
in  ice-cold  water,  the  temperature  of  which 
was  slowly  increased  from  hour  to  hour  un- 
til the  flesh  was  thawed  out ;  but  it  was 
considered  lo  be  a  green  trick  to  get  frozen, 
and  the  disaster  was  generally  tept  con- 
cealed ,  just  as  at  home,  boys  say  nothing 
about  having  had  "  a  spill  out  hunting. 
Curiously  enough,  the  cold— so  used  they 
got  to  it  at  last— caused  them  less  inconve- 
nience than  one  or  two  unexampled  and 
indeed  inexplicable  thaws.  In  November, 
under  the  i*ole  Star,  the  temperature  once 
went  up  to  thirty-two  degrees,  causing  ev- 
erything to  drip,  and  making  our  friends 
open  not  only  their  eyes,  but  their  win- 
dows ;  th»n,  as  suddenly  as  it  rose,  it  sunk 
back  lo  ita  normal  position  of  fltleen  de- 
grees below  zero.  Upon  Dr.  Hayes'  sub- 
sequent expedition  In  tho  spring,  it  Was 
thirty-one  degrees  below  zero  in  their 
snow- huts  where  they  slept  at  night,  and 
in  the  open  air,  at  sixty-eight  and  a  half 
below  zero,  or  one  hunared  and  a  half  de- 
grees below  the  freezing-point  of  water. 
Well  might  Dr.  Hayes  (who  had  been  out 
with  Dr.  Kane  In  the  same  region)  declare 
this  to  be  unexampled  in  his  exjperience  ; 
and,  indeed,  only  one  traveler,  NiveroflT,  in 
Siberia,  has  ever  chronicled  a  lower  tem- 
perature. 

The  coming  on  of  winter  darkness  is  no- 
ted in  quite  a  solemn  manner.  Our  author 
knew  that  that  would  be  the  tryhig  time 
for  his  poor  fellows.  On  November  13, 
he  writes  :  "  The  darkness  is  not  yet  quite 
absolute.  With  some  difficulty.  1  can  still 
see  to  read  ordinary  print  at  noon."  As 
November  ended,  the  last  gleam  of  twilight 
fades,  but  the  stars  shine  at  all  hours  with 
great  brilliancy,  and  the  moon  gives  some 
relleL  From  its  rising  to  its  selling,  it 
shines  continually,  circling  round  the  hori- 
zon, and  running  uninterruptedly  Its  ten 
days'  course  of  brightness,  and  shining 
with  a  brilliancy— thanks  lo  the  whiteness 
of  the  landscape  and  the  general  clearness 
of  the  atmosphere— unknown  elsewhere. 
Nothing  in  nature  is  more  impressive,  nay, 
more  ghastly,  than  Arctic  scenery  under 
this  weird  aspect. 

The  coming  of  the  sun,  on  the  'ther 
hand,  is  watched  for  with  eager  impatience, 
and  hailed  with  an  almost  delirious  joy  by 
these  poor  prisoners,    "  bleached   m  tho 
long-continued  lamplight,  and  colorless  as 
potato-sprouts  in  a  dark  cellar."    Every- 
body haptens,  on  the  day  appointed  by  the 
Nautical  Almanac,  to  the  spot  he  thinks 
will  command  the  best  view  of  the  wel- 
come  stranger.     "We   awaiteel   the   ap- 
proaching moment  with  much  eagerness. 
Presently  a  ray  of  light  burst  through  the 
soft  mist  clouds  whicn  lay  off  to  the  right 
of  us  opposite  the  cape,  blending  them  Into 
a  purple  sea,  and  glistening  upon  the  sil- 
very sununits  of  the  tall  Tcebergs,  which 
pierced  the  vapory  cloak,  as  11  to  catch  the 
coming  warmth.    The  ray  approached  us 
nearer  and  nearer,  the  purple  sea  widened, 
the  glittering  spires  multiplied,  as  one  af- 
ter another  they  burst  in  quick  succession 
mto  the  blaze  of  day ,  and  as  this  marvel- 
lous change  came  over  the  fiice  of  the  sea, 
we  felt  that  the  shadow  of  the  cape  was 
tho  shadow  of  the  night,  and  that  the  night 
waa  passing  away.     Soon  the  dark  red 
clifls  behind  us  glowed  with  a  warm  color- 
ing, the  hills  and  the  mountains  stood  forth 
in  their  new  robes  of  resplendent  bright- 
ness, and  the  tumbling  waves  melted  away 
from  their  angry  harshness,  and  laughed 
in  the  sunshine ;  and  now  the  line  of  the 
shadow  waa  in  sight.    "  There  it  is  upon 
the  point,"  cried  Jensen.    "There  it  is 
upon  the  ice-foot,"  cried  Dodge.    There  at 
our  feet  lay  a  sheet  of  sparkling  gems,  and 
the  sun  burst  broadly  in  our  faces.    Off 
went  our  caps  with  a  simultaneous  Impulse, 
and  we  hailed  this  long  lost  wanderer  of 
the  heavens  with  loud  demonstrations  of 
joy."    He  had  been  absent  one  hundred 
and  twenty-six  day8,'and  the  ghastly  moon- 
light, and  the  occasional  glares  of  the  Au- 
rora Borealis,  had  been  but  poor  subeti- 
tues  for  him. 

And  now  the  time  was  at  hand  when 
the  great  object  of  the  expedition  must  be 
attempted,  if  at  all.  The  dogs,  save  half- 
a-dozen  or  so,  were  dead ;  and  with  that 
inadequate  remnant  it  was  necessary  that 
Dr.  Hayes  and  his  men  should  endeavour 
to  work  their  way  across  the  hummocks  of 
Smith's  Sound  to  Grinnell  Land.  It  was 
a  terrible  journey,  and  although  under- 


Then  leaving  two  of  them  behind,  one  be- 
ing dhabled,  he  pushed  on  towards  the  Pole, 
with  only  a  single  human  companion. 

No  such  journey  was  ever  laken  by  mor- 
tal man.  It  was  scarcely  probat)lo  they 
would  return  alive;  and  the  other  lao  had 
orders  to  wait  for  them  in  their  wretched 
snow-hole  only  for  five  days,  and  then  to 
make  haste  for  'home*— the  schooner,  be- 
tween which  and  themselves  nearly  five 
hundred  miles  of  rou^h  ice  already  lay. 
Provisions  were  fast  failing  them,  although 
they  had  "  cached"  some  at  one  or  two 
places,  in  preparation  for  the  return-jour- 
ney. Dr.  Hayes  and  Knok  (his  compan- 
ion )  were  indeed  "making  their  last  throw !" 
On  and  on  they  pushefl,  till  at  last  they 
stood  upon  the  shore  of  that  Open  Polar 
Soa  in  search  of  which  they  had  endured 
such  unptrallcled  privations.  "  Standing 
against  the  dark  sky  at  the  north,  there 
was  seen  in  dim  outline  the  white  sloping 
summit  of  a  noble  headland,  the  most  nor 
them  known  land  upon  the  globe.  I  judged 
it  lo  be  in  latitude  Hi  deg.  'M  inin  ,  or  four 
hunderd  and  fifty  miles  from  the  North 
Pole.  Nearer  another  bold  cane  bUxkI 
forth  ,  and  nearer  still  the  headland,  for 
which  I  had  been  steering  my  course  the 
day  before,  rose  majestically  from  the  sea, 
as  if  pushing  up  to  the  very  skies,  a  lofly 
mountain  peak,  upon  which  the  winter  had 
dropped  its  diadem  of  snows.  There  was 
no  laud  visible  except  the  coast  upon 
which  1  Blood."  The  sea  al  their  feet  was 
a  mottled  sheet  ol  white  and  dark  patches, 
decaying  ice  and  water,  and  in  ihe  distance 
one  unilorm  dark  blue,  betokening  ocean. 
Within  a  month  that  unknown  sea  would 
be  as  free  from  ice  aa  Baffin's  Bay. 

With  his  poor  battered  ship,  the  task  of 
pushing  on  was  utterly  hopeless ;  but  Dr. 
Hayes  is  satisfied  that  during  three  months 
in  the  year  al  least,  he  could  navigate  a 
steamer  (and  means,  one  day,  to  do  it) 
through  Smith's  Sound  and  Kennedy  Chan- 
nel into  the  open  Polar  Sea.  Without  in 
the  least  envying  his  position,  we  can  ap- 
preciate our  author's  feeUnge  as  he  set  up 
his  caira,  and  fixed  his  flags,  in  that  hither- 
to unvislled  solitude.  It  was  with  no  ordi- 
nary sensations,"  says  he,  with  pardonable 
pride,  "that  I  contemplate  my  situation 
with  one  solitary  companion  in  that  hither 
to  imtroddeu  desert ;  while  my  nearness  to 
the  earth's  axis,  the  consciousness  of  stand 
ing  upon  land  far  beyond  the  limits  of  pre 
vious  observation,  the  reflections  which 
crossed  my  mind  respecting  the  vaist  ocean 
which  lay  spread  out  before  me,  the 
thought  that  thepe  ice  girdled  waters  might 
lash  the  shores  of  distant  islands  where 
dwell  human  beings  of  an  unknown  race, 
were  circnmstances  calculated  to  Infest  tho 
very  air  with  mystery,  to  deepen  the  curi- 
osity, and  to  strengthen  the  resolutidn  to 
preserve  in  my  determination  to  sail  upon 
this  sea,  and  to  explore  ita  furthest  limits ; 
and  as  I  recall  the  struggles  which  had 
been  made  to  reach  this  sea— through  the 
ice  and  across  the  ice— by  generations  of 
brave  men,  it  seemed  as  if  the  spirits  of 
these  old  worthies  came  to  encourage  me, 
as  their  experience  had  already  guided  me; 
I  felt  that  I  had  within  my  grasp  "  the 
great  and  notable  thing"  which  had  in- 
spired tho  zeal  of  sturdy  Frobisher,  and 
that  I  had  achieved  tlie  hope  of  matchless

sealed  in  a  cajm — a  dead-letter  office,  where 
It  was  thus  called  for,  for  nearly  ten  years; 
and  the  grave  stones  of  two  of  Dr.  Hayes's 
shipmates  who  had  sailed  with  Dr.  !^ne. 
Even  these  were  left  far  behind,  for  our 
author  was  bound  for  a  more  extreme  point 
than  the  foot  of  man  had  ever  yet  visited.

Autumnal  Diiiea«es. 

These  are  chiefly  diarrhea,  dysenteiy, 
and  various  grades  of  fevers  from  slight 
"creeps"  to  congestive  chills,  for  fever  is 
the  reaction  of  coldness,  ijut  when  there  is 
not  power  enough  in  the  system  lo  react 
from  the  cold  stage,  death  la  certain,  as  in 
congestive  chill,  in  which  the  blood  be- 
comes so  cold,  so  thick,  and  so  impure  that 
it  ceases  to  circulate,  becomes  stagnate, 
and  the  mrchinery  of  life  stops  forever. 
Hundreds  of  thousands  die  every  autumn 
of  the  three  forms  of  disease  mentioned, 
but  not  one  need  die,  they  are  avoidable 
dlsoascs,  their  causes  being  kno  vn  and  all 
that  is  required  is  to  bring  a  very  moderate 
amount  ot  intelligence  lo  bear  in  avoiding 
those  causes.  A  baby  will  avoid  putting 
its  finger  in  the  candle  a  second  time ;  it 
remains  only  to  grown-up  stupids  to  ex- 
pose themselves  to  the  causes  of  disease 
year  after  year  and  thus  letklessly  imperil 
health  and  even  life  Itself. 

The  cause  of  autumnal  diseases  is  an  em- 
anation from  the  surface  of  the  earth  in 
those  localities  whore  are  found  in  combi- 
nation heat,  moisture  and  vegetable  matter, 
such  as  leaves,  wcod,  etc.,  for  the  heat  of 
eighty  degrees  combined  with  moisture  in- 
duces decay,  and  from  this  decaying  eub- 
stance  something  arises  which,  if  breathed 
or  otherwise  taken  into  the  system,  indu- 
ces the  dlsetisc  mentioned  sooner  or  later. 

What  this  emanation  is,  has  hitherto 
been  merely  a  conjecture,  because  it  was 
Impalpable,  so  thin  like  air,  that  the  at- 
mosphere which  contained  it  when  sub- 
jected to  chemical  analysis  yielded  nothing 
beyond  the  constilucnta  of  pure  air  But 
within  a  year  or  two  it  has  becfa  ascertain- 
ed that  if^a  quantity  of  air  of  a  miasmatic 
locality  Is  bottled  up  and  is  conveyed  to  a 
sleeping  apartment,  the  person  who 
breathes  it  will,  in  a  short  time,  have  more 
or  lesa  decided  symptoms  of  fiever  and 
ague ;  and  on  examining  his  saliva  or  the 
inside  of  his  mouth  a  living,  moving  thinp 
is  clearly  visible  with  imcroscopic  aid. 
Observation  and  experiment  have  shown 
incontrovortibly  that  there  are  two  ways 
of  escaolng  the  ill  effects  of  having  these 
living  things  introduced  in  the  system, 
persons  must  avoid  living  in  localities 
wheie  the  land  is  rich,  flat  and  moint,  or 
they  must  drain  those  lands ;  but  it  is  pos- 
sible to  live  in  such  places,  and  have  rea- 
sonably good  health  simply  by  keeolng  in 
the  house  of  mornings,  with  a  brisk  "blazing 
fire  until  breakfast  is  eaten,  and  take  supper 
at  sundown,  because  it  has  been  found  that 
theeo  emanations  are  more  poisonous  at 
simnse  and  sunset,  and  that  If  the  stomach 
is  excited  to  action  by  the  process  of  di- 
gestion the  emanation  is  rendered  innocu- 
ous, perhaps  from  tho  fact,  in  part,  that 
the  juices  of  the  stomach  at  the  time  of 
digestion  are  of  a  character  to  destroy  the 
life  of  these  living  things ,  but  the  fact  re- 
mains the  same  whether  this  supposition  is 
true  or  not. 

A  practical  use  may  be  made  of  this  sub- 
ject in  the  light  of  these  facta,  in  reference 
to  breathing  night  air.  Very  many  advo- 
cate the  raising  of  windows  in  a  sleeping 
apartment  summer  and  winter  all  the  year 
round ;  the  theory  seems  a  good  one,  but 
experience  will  not  corroberate  it.  Per 
sons  living  on  water  courses  where  the 
"bottom  lands,"  as  they  are  called,  are 
rich,  luxuriant,  Eind  damp  will  save  health 
and  life  itself  by  keeping  all  outside  doors 
and  windows  opening  into  chambers  closed 
from  sundown  lo  suurlso  during  the  three 
autumnal  months,  in  fever  and  ague  or  in- 
termittent lociUities.— jHa5'«  Journal  of

Thc  following  beautiful  tribute  to  the 
followers  of  the  "  stick  and  rule,"  is  from 
the  pen  of  B.  F.  Taylor,  of  the  Chicago 
Evening  Journal. 

The  printer  is  the  adjutant  ot  thought, 
and  this  explains  the  mystery  of  the  won- 
derful word  that  can  kindle  a  hope  aa  no 
song  can,  that  can  warm  a  heart  as  no 
hope  can,  that  word  "we"  with  hand-in 
hand  warmth  in  it— for  the  author  and 
printers  are  engineers  together.  Engi- 
neers indeed !  When  the  Coreicau  bom- 
barded Cadiz,  at  the  distance  of  five  miles, 
it  was  deemed  the  very  triumph  of  engi- 
neering. But  what  is  that  range  to  this, 
whereby  they  bombaid  tho  ages  yet  to  be  V 

There  at  the  "  case"  he  stands  and  mar 
shals  into  line  the  forces  armed  with  truth, 
clothed  in  immortality  and  English.  And 
what  can  be  nobler  than  the  equipment  of 
a  thought  in  sterling  Saxon- Saxon  with 
n  spear  or  shield  therein,  and  that  commis- 
sioning it  when  we  are  doad,  ^o  move 
gr§njjly  on  to  "  the  latest  syllabic  of  re- 
corded time."  This  is  to  win  a  victory 
from  death,  for  this  has  n*  dying  in  it. 

The  printer  is  called  a  laborer,  and  the 
office  he  performs  is  toll.  Oh,  it  is  not 
work,  but  a  sublime  life  he  Is  performing, 
when  he  thus  cites  the  engine  that  is  to 
fling  a  worded  truth  in  grander  curve  than 
missile  e'er  before  described ;  fling  it  into 
the  bosom  of  an  age.  He  throws  oft'  his 
coal  indeed,  but  we  wonder  the  rather  that 
he  does  not  put  his  shoes  from  oft'  his  feet, 
for  the  place  where  he  stands  is  ho^y 
groimd, 

A  little  song  was  uttered  somewhere 
long  ago;  it  wandered  through  ihe  twi- 
light feebler  than  a  star ;  it  died  upon  the 
ear.  But  the  printer  takes  it  up  where  it 
was  lying  there  in  the  silence  like  a 
wounded  bird,  and  he  sends  it  forth  from 
tho  ark  that  had  preserved  it,  and  it  flies 
on  into  the  future  with  the  olive  branch  of 
peace,  and  around  the  world  with  melo- 
dy, like  the  dawning  of  a  spring  morn- 
inic. 

*'Cliawln'  Gum.*" 

As  the  practice  of  '•  chawin'  gum  "  is  in

caslonally  by  tho  male  gender,  wo  append 
for  their  especial  information  the  following 
brief  but  interesting  dissertation  on  the 
habit  by  "  Kringle "  of  the  Schenectady

diflerent  ingredients  and  is  put  up  in  pen- 
ny packages.  Ita  a  very  cheap  reckrea-

vidin'  it  ain't  transferable,  a  munth,  and  a 

f;ood  old  fashioned  hemlock  wad  will  last

then  i  have  inwardly  kussed  the  practiss. 
Wun  nite  I  waited  till  she  snored  magnifi- 
sently,  and  then  I  made  her  kud  2  parts  ov 
asserfidity  to  one  ov  gum,  and  waited  with 
ono  eye  out  ov  the  bed  kloes  for  results. 
Thare  was  a  demon  lack  smile  precep table

—Mr.  Jeremiah  Duncan,  near  Paris,  Ky., 
recently  sold  from  his  herd  of  Short-Horns 
ten  bulls,  and  39  ciws,  heifers  and  young 
calves.  The  prices  were  quite  high — 
ll.'.'lOand  11,275  being  the  highest,  while 
but  a  single  animal  sold  for  less  than  |1(K). 
The  list  of  prices  as  published,  foots  up

— For  reclaiming  black  land  that  has  be-

(for  it  will  not  become  so  by  proper  usage), 
use  50  to  75  bushels  of  leached  ashes  per 
acre,  or  16  to  25  bushels  unleached— the 
leached  ashes  contains  no  potash,  and 
can  have  little  else  than  a  mechanical  ef- 
fect, to  loosen  and  mellow  the  soil  when 
thoroughly  mixed. 

—Mr.  B.  F.  Cutter,  of  Pelham,  N.  H., 
tells  a  story  in  the  Mirror  and  Farmer,  o{  a 
hog,  which  though  well  fed  and  apparent- 
ly health,  "  did  not  grow  one  atom.''  Boon 
Jd'ter  feeding  him  one  day,  the  owner  hap- 
pened to  Iftok  into  his  pen,  and  found  the 
trough  oompletely  filled  with  rats,  which 
at  once  accounted  for  the  lean  condition  of

lIo^T     to   Take    Impressions 
Plants. 


of 


The  advantage  of  being  able  to  take  ac- 
curate impressions  of  plants  without  much 
labor  need  not  be  pointed  out  to  those  who 
can  appreciate  what  ia  useful.  It  is  not 
brougnt  forward  ab  a  subsUtutlon  for  dried 
specimens,  where  these  can  be  obtained 
and  attended  to  ;  but  as  being  less  cumber- 
some it  deserves  notice,  as  a  means  of  re- 
freshing the  memory,  in  very  many  instan- 
ces, in  a  manner  equally  satisfactory  as 
when  specimens  are  employed .  It  has,  fur- 
ther than  this,  no  claim  to  novelty,  but 
simply  to  usefulness. 

The  materials  required  are  fe^v,  and  these 
not  expensive.  One  pennyworth  of  lamp- 
blacK  and  one  pennyworth  of  sweet  oU  are 
all  that  will  be  required  besides  the  paper. 
A  large  sheet  of  paper  should  be  provided, 
and  this  should  be  prepared  by  rubbing  it 
evenly  all  over  with  a  piece  of  flannel 
moistened  with  the  oil ;  this  must  be  done 
thoroughly,  and  when  the  paper  is  well 
moistened,  but  not  in  a  wet  state  with  the 
oil,  a  small  quantity  of  lampblack  should 
be  laid  evenly  over  it,  also  using  flannel  for 
this  part  of  the  operation.  If  this  prepa- 
ration can  be  made  a  day  before  using  the 
paper,  it  will  be  so  mucn  the  better.  The 
next  process  requires  great  care.  Having 
the  prepared  sheet  in  readiness,  place  on  it 
evenl}''  and  flatly  the  plant,  flower,  or  leaf 
of  which  an  impression  is  required ;  then 
place  over  this  a  dry  sheet  of  paper,  and, 
with  a  handkerchief  or  cloth,  press  firmly 
over  every  i)art,  that  it  may  equally  and 
regularly  receive  the  black  preparation. 
Tho  paper  intended  to  receive  the  impres- 
sion should  now  be  in  readiness,  and  the 
specimen  must  be  carefully  removed  and 
placed  on  it,  and  great  care  must  be  taken 
that  its  position  is  not  changed  ;  tnis,  too, 
must  be  again  evenly  and  firmly  pressed  as 
before,  and  the  impression  will  be  com- 
plete, and  must  be  laid  carefully  aside  to 
become  dry.  A  specimen  or  two  can  be 
tried  on  a  spare  sheet,  in  order  to  ascertain 
whether  the  blackened  sheet  Is  In  a  proper 
state  of  preparation  before  it  is  attempted 
to  take  a  very  careful  impression.  This  is 
particularly  valuable  In  preserving  sketch- 
es of  the  leaves  of  rare  and  valuable  plants.

Inimeuso   ProUis    of    tbe  Canarders. 

The  Cuuard  Royal  Mail  Line  has  now 
been  twenty-seven  years  in  existence.  I 
chronicle  its  great  prosperity  in  the  hope 
that  our  people,  particularly  those  of  Phil- 
adelphia, will  accept  the  fact  as  the  best 
argument  for  the  c<immencement  of  a  thor- 
ough competition  for  that  priceless  trade 
which  should  be  controlled,  as  it  is  mainly 
contributed  to,  by  Americans.  The  Cun- 
ard  Company  bought  four  ships  to  start 
with,  and  they  are  now  the  owners  of 
twculy-four  splendid  ocean  steamers,  built 
out  of  their  large  profits,  after  paying 
splendid  dividends  to  the  stockholders.  As 
a  specimen  of  their  prosperity,  take  the 
present  cargo.  We  have  on  board  two 
hundred  and  eighteen  first-class  passengers, 
who  pay  one  hundred  and  fifty  five  dollars 
apeice,  making  a  total  $33,790  in  gold.  The 
freight  18  estimated  at  nearly  $10,000.  In 
addition,  they  receive  some  $9,(X)0  for  carry- 
ing the  mail  (whichjis  included  in  their 
annual  subsidy  from  the  British  Gk)vem- 
ment).  Their  expenses  are  about  $15,000 
the  single  trip— not  more.  These  figtires, 
nearly  exact,  foot  up  a  very  large  profit 
for  the  single  trip.  It  is  only  necessary  to 
add  that  at  least  two  hundred  of  our  two 
hundred  and  eighteen  passengers  are 
Americans,  to  show  whence  these  gains 
are  derived. — From  a  Forney  Letter.

— A  singular  explosion  case  is  reported 
by  the  engineers  of  the  Manchester  Boiler 
Association.  An  earthenware  bottle  of 
about  a  quart  capacity  was  used,  when  fhll 
of  hot  water  as  a  bed  warmer.  After  fill- 
ing it  on  a  previous  occasion,  the  cork  was 
tied  down  with  a  waxed  end.  When  the 
bottle  was  next  brought  into  reauisition, 
instead  of  being  emptied  of  its  cold  water 
and  refilled  with  hot,  it  was  put  all  tightly 
corked,  into  the  oven  of  a  kitchen  range, 
to  be  heated  up  entire.  In  a  short  time  a 
violent  explosion  took  plaee,  the  bottle  was 
burst  and  pieces  of  the  oven  door  were 
thrown  into  the  room  with  such  violenoe 
as  to  instantly  kill  one  person,  and  seriooa-

A  SERior.i  Accident — An  aeciiknt  of  a 
verv  nnusual  desorip'i.jn    happ  >neil  in   t'li^' 
citv  yestenlay.     On  the  tressle  work    which 
supports  the  "track  of  tlle^'t,  Paul  ami  Paeitic 
road  over  t!ic  lowlands  jnsi  beluw  the  city,  is 
a  short  bridge  over  which  I'ae  trains  pas-s  as 
they  arrive    in  the  city  or  depart  therefrom. 
Asa  train  was  approaching  the  'jridge  yester- 
day, Mr.  Patrick  .McMahon,  who  is  employed 
by  Messrs  Cook  k  Webb,  as  ticket  agent  for 
the  onmibas  line,  endeavord   to  p  i>3  around 
the  baggage  car  on  jhc  railinj,'  of  the  same. 
i  Between  the  car  !  nd  the  inside  of  the  briege 
there  is  not  nom  enough  f  n-  a  man  of  o.di- 
rary  size  to  pass.     Jn-t  as  .McMahon  stepped 
npon  the  platform,  the  baggiige  car    entered 
the  bridge.    The  result  was  that  he  was  roll- 
ed between  Ihe  bri<lge  and  the  car  the  whole 
length  of  the  latter.     As  .soon  as  the  car  had 
cleared  tho  bridge  he  jumped  down,    n  dist- 
ance of  i.bout  sixteen  feet,  and    was   picked 
up  by  friends  wlio    took  him  to   a  jilace    ol 
stafetV.      Dr.  Miirjihy    was  called,  who    made 
a  careful    c.\amii.at':on,   but    lound     that    no 
bones  had  been  broken.     The  most    serious 
injury  the  Doctor  found  waa  that  caused  by 
the  left  shoulder  blade  be;n;r  pressed  ia.     Of 
course  ilie  suffei-er  is  liiore  or  iesi  bruised  in 
nearlv  all    parts  of  the   i>o ly,  and    it  is    net 
iikelv  that  he  will  be  out  again  tor  a  week  or 
itore.     U"d  he  been  a  largernfian,  he  wnild 
have  been  so  cruslod  uikI    mulilate<l   by  the 
accident  tha\  he  could  not  have   lived.      His 
binall  fraim  saved  him.— /'iwnftr  2d  i»«/.

OUR  COUiJTY  TICKET. 

We  piiUibh  this  iTtek  the  ticket  put  In  the 
fioid  by    the  ScoU  County  Democratic  Cor- 
vjiuion.      V/iLUAM  IIiiNuv,  of  lii:lle  IMaine, 
is   the  nominee   for   Representative.     He  is 
our  present  Judge  of   Probate  and  Superin- 
t42adent  of  Schools.    Judge  Henry  has  long 
been  a  citizen  of  this  county,  and  is   gener- 
ally  and  well    known   as  a    gentleman    of 
ability.     He  has  in  the  past  proved   himself 
faithful   to  his  friends   and   f^iithful  in    the 
discharge  of  his  odicial  duties.     There  is  no 
«loubt  but  he  will   make  a  faithful   represcn- 
t  itive  and   acquit  himself  with  credit,    and 
be  faithful    to  the  interest  of  the    people.— 

We  are  rrjultcd  that  Stott  County   has  the 

rro.=^pcct  of  being  represented  in  the  House 
by  an  honest  man,  instead  of  a  tradi:ig 
politician. 

Joux  Enir.T,  our  present  worthy  County 

Treasurer,   has  agniu  received   the  nomine- 

tion   for  re-election.    Mr.   Edert  has  been  a 

citizen  of  this  county   since    18jC.,  and  has 

been  clectcU    County    Treasurer  four  terms, 

and  is  now  faithfully    serviiig   the  people  in 

that  responsible  olliic.     During  the  time  he 

Las  been  County   Treasurer,  witlier  friend 

pr  fpc   has  ever  claimed  that   he  has  not,  in 

C^XTV    instance,  been  Ihilhl'ul  and    honest  .n 

lis  oaicc.     He  has  collected  onr  taxes  with- 
out  oppression   to  any  one.     He   has   kept 

the  public  moneys  safely-  and  paid  them  out 

so  that  not  one  dollar  has  ever  been  lost. — 

Such  aa  officer  cannot   be  retained  in  oflice 

too  long.     His  party,  by  his  re-nominalioc, 

lias  said  "  well  done,  thou  good  and  faithful 

a^rvant,"   and    the   people   will    give    him 

almost  a  unanimous  election. 

Frank  McGaADE,  formerly  of  Shakopee, 

row    of    Jordan,    has    the  nouiinalion    for 

llc"-istcr  of   Deeds,     He  was  formerly   well  [  the   Auditor  of  Stale,   he  had  audited 

known    as   ShcriST  of   this   county,    and  for 

several    years   piTlormed   his  ofiicial  duties 

faithfully.     During   tl>c  war  he  served   two 

vcars  in    the    army     as    Lieutenant.     Mr. 

ilcGrade's    officiul  conduct    has   been   well 

fii.'d,  and    no    ofliccr  ever   stood   higher  in 


the  estimatiiu   of  lh«   people    than   Wherifif 
McGrado. 

Jacob  TnoMA.?,  our  present  SheriST,  has 
received  a  renomination.  This  is  treating 
him  just  as  he  deserves.  The  duties  of  that 
cffice  are  laborious,  and  Mr-  Thomas  has 
bocn  diligent  and  faithful  in  the  discharge 
oT  his  otBcial  duties.  Mr.  Thomas  has  given 
satisfaclicn  in  the  past  and  will  undoubtedly 
continue  to  do  so  in  the  future. 

Hon.  L.  R.  Hawkins,  of  Spring  Lake, 
fcas  received  the  nomination  for  Judge  of 
Probate.  He  represented  this  county  in 
the  Legislature  ii.  13o8.  Alihoug^Ji  an  old 
citizen,  he  has  not  held  any  county  office. 
He  is  a  ijcutleman  of  fine  social  qnalilies,  a

tiiizen- 

H.  11.  Struxk,  of  Shakopee,  has  received 
the  nominatiot,  for  Coroner.  In  Scott 
county  this  oflice  is  not  of  much  im]>ortancc, 
but  occasionally   theie  are  important  duties 


tion  to  serve  the  iaiarcst  of  the  people  or  to 
improve  our  county  finances,  but  merely 
and  solely  for  the  purpose  of  deceiving  the 
people  by  misrepresenting  the 
connection  which  the  Auors  holds  to  our 
county.  Vv'e  shall,  as  occasion  offers,  rc.'er 
to  some  of  the  statements  of  the  Spectator 
concerning  the  sums  we  have  received  from 
the  county. 

The  Spc:lator  says  we  received  $700  for 
publishing  the  tax  list.     So  we  did,  and  this 
sum  is  just  what  the  law,  made  b^v  ;i  Repub- 
lican Legislature,  provided  we  should  have. 
The  law    gives    us  twenty    cents   for   each 
dcatiipl'ion  of  lauds  and    lots    coutaiuei    in 
the  tax    list.     \Vc    pubiisiied   ^500  tracts  of 
land    and    town     lot^,  and  tins    number   at 
twenty    cents    cuch   maizes    just  $100.00. — 
Ibis  is  just  twice  as    much  as  the  old   law 
would  have  given  us,  but  just  what  we  were 
entitled  to  under  the  new  law.     The  old  law 
gave  only    ten   ctuts  tor    publishing    each 
tract  in  the  tax  list,   but  last  winter  the  Re- 
publican   Legisluluro,    for    the    benefit    of 
Rtpublicau   editcre,  amended   the  law  so  as 
to   give    twenty  cents  instead  of  ten.     We 
sec    no  rea.son    why    a    Democratic    p.".per 
should  not  be   bcueUtied  by    the  new  law  as 
well  as  Republican  p:i[>*'rs.     iJut  no  matter 
how  much  is  paid  for  the  publication  of  the 
tax    list,  whether   ten  cents,  as  formerly,  or 
twenty   cents  as  now,  or    thirty    cent.s,  as  it 
ought  to  be,  the  county  loses  nothing  at  all, 
because  it  is  not  the  county,   but   the  non 
resident   speculator    a::d    others  who  do  not 
pay    tht-ir  laxe^,  thai  ha.-i  uiliniaU'ly    to  pay 
for  printing  the  tax  list.     The  county  loses 
notliing.     The  $700    which  we  received  fur 
publishing    the    tax  li.-'t    wus    paid    into  the 
county  treasury  by  the  purchaser  at  the  lax 
sale  and  by  the  owner  of  the   land  who  re- 
deemed   before  a  sale,  for  the  very   purpose 
of  paying    for  advertising  the  tax    list.     As 
the  county    had  rcccJve<l    that  sum  from  the 
owners  of    the  land  and    from  the  purchas^^r 
at    the  tax  sale,  it  of  course  was  rigiil    luai 
it  should  all  be  paid    to  us,  anu    our  county 
losses  nothing  by  its  beuig  paid  over  to  us. 

But  the    Spectator  .says  that  tlie    County 
Auditor   "  with  mo.st  immoderate  haste,  au- 
dited,  allowed    and    issued    orders  for   this 
sum."     Jiut  the  fact  is,  the  tax  list  was  luUy 
published  early  in  May,  and  we  wcri;  entitled 
to   immediate    payment.     Rut    our  worthy 
County   Auditor,  with    unusual    delay,    ne- 
glected  to  audit  0U1:   bill.     Although  it  was 
his  duty  to  audit   our  bill   immediately,  he 
did  not   do  so   for   three  mouths,    and  not 
until  we   took  an  appeal  to    the  Republican 
State  Auditor,  and  he  ordered    our    County 
Auditor   to  audit   our  bill   and  pay   us  the 
sum  ho  found  due  us.     Our  County  Auditor 
then,  under   the   orders  of    the   Republican 
State  Auditor,  counted  the  number  of  tracts 
in  the  lax  list  and  paid  us  tweuli"  cents  for 
each  tract   in  the   list,  and  no    more.     The 
only  fault  to  find  with  the  county  auditor  is 
that   he  neglected   for  two  months  to   jiay  a 
domocralic   editor,    and    delayed    to    do  so 
until  orucred  by  a  republican   State  au'litor 
to  do  so. 

The  Spectator  says  that  wc  afterw.trds 
presented  the  .>ame  bill  to  the  county  coui- 
luissioners  and  that  ihey  also  allo\veJ  us  the 
same  amount.  Rut  the  fact  is  wu  did  not, 
at  any  time,  present  a  bill  to  the  commis- 
sioners for  printrng  the  tax  list,  iind  the 
commissioueis  did  not  at  any  time  allow  or 
pay  us  any  sum  for  priuti:ig  the  tax  liaL — 
iiut  the  county  auditor  reported  to  the  ebm- 
niissioners   the  fact  that,  under  the  orders  of 

ov.r 
bill,  and  asked  their  approval  of  what  he 
h.id  done.  The  commissioners  examintd 
into  the  matter  and  approved  of  what  the 
auditor  had  done.  We  did  not  present  any 
bill  to  them  and  they  only  assented  to  what 
had  l;€eu  done.  Our  only  regret  i.i  that  the 
law  did  not  give  us  thirty  cenUi  for  each 
tract  in  the  tax  list  instead  of  twenty. 

The  Spectator  s?;ys  single  descriptions  of 
lands  have  been  divided  into  several  parcels, 
and  thus  the  number  of  descriptions  iu- 
oreasetl.  But  such  is  not  the  case.  The 
same  descriptions  of  land  and  town  lots 
exist  in  this  county  now  that  have  existed 
for  the  last  ten  years,  ami  neither  the  coun- 
ty auditor  or  the  county  printer,  or  any  one 
else  has  changed  or  has  any  right  to  change 
the  descriptions  contained  in  the  tax  list. — 
The  tax  list  is  copied  from  the  public  records 
and  must  be  copied  and  printed  just  as  it 
appears  in  the  records.  The  descri^>tions  of 
lands  and  lots  are  made  and  determined  by 
the  assessors.     Every   piece  of  land   which 


Etery    family  in  the  United   States  now 

pays   upon   an  average  about   $200  a   year 

for  taxc?,  to    pay  the  interest   on  the  public 

Th*  Spectator  says  we  will   receive  some  ]  debt  and  support  of  the   government.    The 

four   hundred   dollars  a  year  for  publishing  ;  taxes  are   direct  and    indir»'ct,  and    there  is 

the   proceedinga   of   the  commissioners,   at !  no  escape  from    them.     The  man  who  rents 

seventy-five   cents    a    folio,    and    that   the    a  house    pays  a   part  of  it  in   his  increased

and  thirty  thriee  doUais  and  a  third  cents. —  I      Ono  of  the  Jenkinses,  writing  of  n  recent

Of  course  you  wouM,  Mr.  .^'peotalur!  for 
that  would  give  yqa  more  than  we  would 
receive  at  seventy-five  cents  a  folio.  And 
we  are  willing  to  coutract  with  the  commis- 
sioners to  publi.sh  their  proceedings  in  the 
Argus  a  year  for  less  thau  that  sum,  and 
long  ago  off«»red  to  make  such  a  contract 
with  the  county.  V>hiic^  we  are  not  v.iliing 
to  publish  the  proceedings  of  the  county 
commiysioaers  fur  twenty-fiyc  cents  a  folio, 
while  the  law  gives  the  printer  seventy-fi\e 
cents  a  folio  fur  all  legal  publications,  "ne 
are  willing  to  publish  those  proceedings  for 
less  than  one  third  of  four  hui:dred  dollars  a 
year.  The  law  ^jives  the  printer  seventy-five 
cents  a  folio  for  all  legal  publication  fitr  the 
first  Heck.  And  this  is  what  the  Argus 
receives  from  ])rivate  persons.  The  trouble 
with  the  i.ipectator  is,  not  that  we  arc  gc  • 
tiug  too  much,  but  that  a  Domoeratie  papir 
ought  not  to  gel  any  patronage  Iimiu  a 
Dciuocratic  county.  Rut  we  would  i.dvi  c 
the  Spectator  not  to  over  do  his  falsehoods 
30  much.  A  sinnll  nii.sstatemcnt  might 
deceive  the  people,  but  the  Spectator  gulls 
only  can  swuUow  so  large  a  dose.

nice  thing  to  think  of.

CilAni.ES  Djckens  writes  to  a  friend  in 
Boston:  "I  notice  that  about  onco  in 
every  seven  years  I  become  the  victim  of 
a  paragraph  disease.  It  breaks  out  in  Eng- 
land, travels  to  India  by  the  overland 
route,  gets  to  America  per  Cunard  line, 
strikes  the  base  of  the  Rocky  Mountains, 
and,  rebounding  back  to  Europe,  mostlj' 
perishes  on  the  steppee  of  Russia  from  In- 
anition and  extreme  cold." 

The  Southern  authoress.  Miss  Evans  is 
described  by  a  correspondent  of  the  New 
Orleans  Picayvne  as  a  blonde  of  thirty, 
with  a  well  developed  bust,  bmall  waist, 
and  weighing  about  one  hundred  and  fif- 
teen pounds,  lie  continues:  "Her  hands 
are  small  and  tidy,  but  they  arc  not  dim- 
pled. There  never  was  a  painter,  poet, 
musician  or  any  ingenious,  industrious  or 
useful  woman  with  dimpled  hands." 

Mr.a.  General  Tom  Thumc  may  often 
bo  seen  promenading  Broadway  on  a  fine 
afternoon.  Sho  goes  Just  as  any  other 
lady  is  supposed  to  do.  Sqe  dresaes  very 
neatly,  wearing  a  black  filk  dress  and  bas- 
que, jocky  hat  and  dark  kid  gloves.  Mrs. 
Stration  is  never  unaccompanied  in  public. 
When  walking  by  tie  side  of  her  attendant, 
she  looks  like  a  mere  child,  and  attracts 
little  attention,  excepting  from  those  who 
happen  to  recognize  her,  and  rudely  stare 
at  and  notice  the  goodlooking  and  well  de- 
veloped little  lady. 

The  Duchess  de  3Iouchy,  who  Lj  at- 
tracting attention  at  Baden-Baden  by  the 
elegance  of  her  toilettes,  was,  prior  to  her 
marriage,  the  princess  Anna  Murat.  She 
IS  cousin  to  the  emperor,  and  many  of  our 
fashionable  American  ladies  went  to  school 
to  her  mother  at  Baliimore.  She  is  a  blonde 
beauty  of  decided  emhonpinnt,  very  artless 
and  linaflected,  and  a  great  pet  of  Eugenic, 
who  tried  hard  but  unsuccessibily  to  get 
her  a  husband  with  royal  blood  In  his  veins. 
The  duke  do  Mouchy  is  one  of  the  richest 
noblemen  in  France. 

A  Story  is  told  about  the  late  ^V.  Hope, 
the  banker  of  Amsterdam,  that  he  had 
bought  a  picture  as  a  Rembradt,  and  given 
2,000  guineas  for  it.  Finding  that  it  did 
not  fit  the  frame,  he,  sent  for  a  carpenter 
to  ease  it  a  little.  Whilst  wdtchiug  the 
operation,  he  remarked  how  wonderfully 
the  picture  was  preserved,  considering 
that  it  was  nearly  two  hundjed  years  old. 
"  That  is  impossible,"  said  the  carpenter. 
"  This  wood  is  mahogany,  and  mahogany 
had  not  been  Introduced  into  Europe  at 
that  time."    Mr.  Hope  burnt  the  picture. 

New  Youk  letter-  writers  tell  of  Horace 
Greeley  that,  upon  the  arrival  in  tliis 
country  of  Mrs.  Yelverton,  with  whom  he 
had  been  in  correspondencis  Mr.  Greeley 
sent  her  a  note  requesting  hu  Interview, 
and  simply  signed  himself  "  H.  G."  No 
answer  coming,  he  wrote  again  with  no 
better  success,  and  in  a  fit  of  indignant 
curiosity  he  jerked  his  La*  on  the  tack  of 
his  head  and  rushed  for  the  Albemarle 
Hotel.  The  lady  was  delighted  to  receive 
the  editor  of  the  Trdxune,  and  mutual  ex- 
planations followed.  She  had  mistaken 
the  simple  initials,  "  H.  G.,"  for  the  ligures 
109,  and  didn't  know  what  to  miike  of  it 
aU.  Persons  familiar  with  Mr.  Greeley's 
slgxiature  can  very  well  understand  Low 
such  a  mistake  could  occur. 

The  f  )llowing  pen  picture  of  Spurgeon 
is  given  by  a  correspondent  of  a  Southern 

Eaper  :  "  Spurgeon  is  a  common  looking 
ttle  chunk  of  a  man,  with  a  rather  large 
heal,  higher  in  front  than  behind,  brown 
hair,  straight  and  not  short,  blue  eyes, 
thick  lips  large  white  teeth,  course  though 
not  decided  features  and  face,  including  up- 

Ser  lip,  covered  with  closely  trimmed 
eard  of  light  color.  His  neck  is  short  and 
thick,  and  he  is  so  round  shouldered  as  to 
look  somewhat  humpbacked.  His  arms 
are  short  and  his  hands  fat  and  chubby. 
The  angle  of  his  face  Is  bad  and  its  expres- 
sion is  neither  rcflncd  nor  intcllectuul.  He 
cannot  be  more  than  five  feet  six  inches 
high,  and  weighs  at  least  a  hundred  and 
sixty  pounds.  Hia  style  of  ppeaking  is 
conversational  and  perfectly  natural ;  he 
makes  but  ibw  gestures,  and  those  not 
graceful ;  looks  directly  before  him  for  the 
most  part,  leaning  upon  the  raiHng  of  the 
p«lpit."

— The  Boston  Pod  says;  "The  reason 
why  travelling  with  ladies  costs  twice  as

much  waiting  upon,  are  twice  as  fussy, 
and  are  twice  as  hard  to  please.  Every 
woman  is  a  sort  of  double,  and  when  she 
id  out  with  her  trunks  is  twice  that  figure. 
So  it  stands  figuratively  thus  :  One  woman 
equal  to  four  men.  If  this  be  true,  the  la- 
dies ought  to  bo  allowed  to  vote,  or  do  any- 
thing else  they  please."

— A  S:iU  Lake  city  letter  says  :  "  Polyg- 
amy id  not  generally  practised,  but  seems 
to  be  indulged  in  according  to  a  man's 
means  as  a  rule,  though  many  wealthy 
men  in  the  city  have  but  one  wile.  In  the 
country,  one  caa.alwsys  tell,  bv  the  build 
of  the  house,  how  many  a  man  has.  If  he 
has  but  one,  his  house,  if  one  story  in 
height,  Is  nearly  square ;  should  he  have 
two,  he  builds  an  addition  to  one  end  of 
the  original  house,  which  is  an  exact  coun 
terpart  of  if,  having  an  outside  door  and 
windows  like  the  first,  and  diflerlng  from 
it  only  In  newness  of  build.  In  short,  he 
ballds  such  an  addition  each  time  that  he 
takes  to  himself  a  wife,  so  that  frequently 
one  may  see  a  half  dozen  thus  growing  out 
of  each  other,  and  presenting,  with  an 
array  of  ftont  doors,  a  singular  appear- 
ance. 1  think  that  over  half  of  the  men 
have  but  one  wife ;  a  great  many  have  tw» 
or  three :  numbers  have  from  lour  to  six; 
I  and  lew  have  over  ten. 
I  — Bamnm  has  secured  a  live  gor  11a  from 
Africa.  In  removing  it  fYom  the  vessel  to 
the  Museum,  the  animal  became  greatly 
enraged  at  the  Jarring  It  was  fubjoted  to. 
In  order  to  securely  remove  him  ttom  the 
box  in  which  ho  was  placed  to  his  cage,  a 
rope  was  inserted  and  fastened  to  hia  cJiain, 
But  the  gorilla  seized  it  and  pulled  it  away 
from  several  men  who  grasped  It.  He  got 
It  in  the  cage,  untied  it  from  the  chain  and 
dropped  it  through  a  hole.  A  huge 
wrought  iron  bar  was  then  inserted,  an 
inch  and  three  quarters  thick,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  bringing  out  the  chain.  The  go- 
rilla seized  the  oar,  pulled  it  away  from 
two  men  noted  for  their  muscular  strength, 
and  then  bent  the  bar  double,  the  two 
ends  actually  meeting.  Ho  was  finally  se- 
cured, however,.  His  lurious  hpwls  exci- 
ted all  the  animtils,  women  fainted  and 
children  cried.  Au  immense  chain,  with 
resistant  force  of  t-is  thousand  pounds,  is

high,  with  an  eye  like  a  human  being,  and 
ft  tace  more  reaembling  man  than  monkey,

ver, pointed  it— in  fun,  ol  course— at  her 
lover,  who  was  lying  on  a  fr^fa,  and  acci- 
dentally pulled  tho  trigger.  The  piece, 
to  her  great  astonishment,  was  discharged, 
lodging  a  bullet  in  tho  young  man's  breast, 
just  below  the  heart.  The  wound  is  dan- 
gerous. The  ladv  didn't  believe  the  pis* ol

— A  French  satan  has  been  making  some 
new  investigations  in  one  of  the  Com- 
munes as  to  the  effect  of  consanguineous 
marriages  in  producing  disease  and  idiocy 
in  the  offspring  His  researches  were  in  a 
locality  which  furnished  large  opportunity 
for  observation,  end  he  minutely  investi- 
gated the  history  and  circumstaijce?  of  for- 
ty families  resulting  from  such  marriages. 
He  has  prepared  tables  to  show  that  nei- 
ther vices  of  conformation,  insanity,  idiocy, 
cretinism,  deaf  muteness,  nor  epilepsy  ex- 
isted among  any  of  these  families ;  and  he 
has  come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  dan- 
gers ot  consanguine  marri.iges  result  from 
an  Intensification  of  any  morbid  hereditary 
tendencies  that  may  exist  in  each  parent, 
while,  if  each  be  perfectly  healthy,  the 
fact  of  consanguinity  counts  for  nothing. 
The  subject  is  one  regarding  which  our 
knowledge  is  very  Imperfect,  and  in  which 
anything  likesctentific  investigation  is  very 
limited.  Though  of  great  importance  to 
the  human  race,  it  is  moreover  a  subject 
about  which  accurate  dates  are  exceedmg- 
ly  difficult  of  collection.  It  is  always 
safe,  however,  to  follow  the  olc  Injunction 
that  a  "  man  shall  -not  marry  his  grand 
mother."

Indian  Aeentw. 

Tho  Louisville  Journal  has  along  ai'acle 
on  the  Indian  question,  fiom  which  wo 
mi.kti  an  extract : 

We  had  tho  pleasure  of  an  hour's  oon- 
vorsation,  a  few  days  ago,  with  the  foster 
brother  of  the  celebrated  Seminole  Chief, 
Billy  Bowlegs.  His  reminiscences  of  tho 
Florida  war  are  exceedingly  interesting. 
He  was  ouo  of  the  moderate  party  In  the 
triljc,  tho  party  friendly  to  the  whites. 
When  the  tribft  finally  split  upon  the  tub 
Ject,  he  was  with  those  who  petitioned 
General  Zachary  Taylor  to  tiansfer  them 
beyond  Arkansas.  At  no  time  during  his 
life  had  he  been  hostile  to  the  whites, 
although,  of  course,  ho  fought  with  his 
tribe  so  long  as  general  warfare  was  kept 
up. 

He  says  that  ho  dues  not  remember  a 
single  instance  In  thirty  years  in  which  tho 
whites  have  religiously  kept  an  engage- 
ment with  the  Indians,  lie  never  has 
known  a  trcuty  which,  carried  into  effect, 
wa^  not  Ki^meliow  di.slortexl  to  the  preju- 
dice of  the  Indian.  lie  has  known  but  one 
or  two  Indian  ugcnta  who  were  honest 
men.  The  rest  are  all  scoundrels,  and  in- 
variably cheat  tho  Indians  out  of  seven- 
eighls  ot  Ihoir  annuities,  or  of  llioir  money, 
in  trade.  He  draws  a  very  striking 
piclurw  of  the  payment  of  annuities ;  one 
such  scene,  lie  f-ays,  will  represt.nt  the 
whole. 

Tha  Indian  a^^ent  makes  Lis  appearance 
at  a  certain  pomt  to  distribute  tho  annui- 
ties. Tho  IndiatLS  of  tho  tribe,  having  been 
previ  iusly  notiflctl,  are  present.  A  young 
warrior,  in  tho  first  flush  rf  manhood,  am- 
bitloue,  inexperienced,  comes  up  to  re- 
ceive, '3AY,  ouo  hundred  and  forty  dollars, 
which  is  duo  him  as  the  Fon  of  a  chief. 
The  first  thinj  that  attracts  hl<«  attention  is 
a  beautiful  blanket,  a  red  Mah-kce-nah. 
perhaps,  which  tho  artful  agoat  has  placet! 
in  a  promlnout  poslt'on  for  the  very  pur- 
po.!c.  He  must  havo  thai  blanket.  Very 
well;  tho  agent  Is  willing  that  ho  shoula; 
it  id  just  tho  samo  as  money.  A  roll  is 
prepared  iu  blank  (but  the  ignorant  lu- 
diuu  docs  not  know  it.)  He  makes  his 
mark.  Then  the  blank  is  filled  by  the 
agent  with  as  many  blankets  as  ho  deems 
prudent.  Our  Seminole  has  known  of  in- 
stances v,hero  tho  blank  has  been  filled 
with  forty  blankets,  while  only  one  was 
actually  received  by  the  Indian  receipting. 

There  are  hutcLiCT  knives,  a  very  nice 
ar:iole.  Au  Indian  who  wishes  ouo  is 
charged  $40  for  it.  If  ho  gets  drunk  and 
W:?he3  to  return  it  and  get  something  else, 
he  is  the  same  day  permitted  to  return  it, 
and  Is  credited  with  $1.25. 

Presently  the  agent,  flndtng  that  his  re- 
ceipts will  cover  the  whole  annuity  to  the 
tribe,  suddenly  closes  hia  books,  and  im- 
nouuces  to  the  crett-iallcn  Indians  that 
there  Is  no  more  to  come.  But  he  \m* 
still  on  Laud  a  few  blaukots  and  other  tri- 
fles forwh  chhc  will  dicker.  If  an  Indian 
would  like  an  old  French  musket,  lor 
which  tho  agent  has  paid  $3,  he  can  have 
it  for  $45  in  cash,  or  furs,  at  tho  owest 
price.  So  the  shamekts  trade  goes  on. 
At  night  the  agent  has  full  icceipts  for  his 
goods  or  cash,  uuJ  has  seven-eighths  of  the 
whole  safe  in  his  pocket  or  under  guard. 
Perhaps  ho  wdl  havo  large  portions  of  it 
exposed  for  sale  on  the  frontier,  shortly 
afterward.  Perhaps  he  will  have  it  taleiy 
burled  at  his  encampment.  " 

Now,  if  he  can  get  all  the  Indians  drunk 
he  can  probably  steal  back  the  greiter 
portion  of  tke  one-eighth  attributed  to 
them.  Next  day  he  will  swear  they  traded 
with  him  lor  whisky.  So  he  rolls  out  a 
dozen  kegs  of  whisky,  knocks  out  the 
heads,  and  winds  up  the  day  with  the  big- 
gest spree  he  can  get  up. 

This  is  the  model  Indian  agent,  painted 
from  life. 

A  Hoo  Stohy.— Mr.  Eliiha  Atwatcr, 
of  Munson,  informs  us  that  on  icturniue 
from  an  absence  of  a  few  vreeks,  last  June, 
he  lound  that  astraw  stack  had  tipped  over, 
and  it  was  thought  that  some  hogs  that 
were  in  the  habit  of  frequenting  the  stack 
might  have  been  buried  beneath  it.  Noth- 
ing, however,  was  done  with  it  until  a 
week  or  two  ago,  when  the  straw  was  re- 
moved to  release  some  poles  that  had  been 
covered  by  the  fall  of  the  stack.  When 
near  the  bottom  a  hog  was  heard  to  grunt 
underneath,  and  the  straw  was  quickly  re- 
moved from  the  place  Indicated,  when  a 
live  hog  was  found,  imprisonrd  in  the  space 
beside  a  pole,  giving  just  sufficient  room 
for  Vie  animal  to  stand  on  its  knees  and  to 
move  forward  and  backward  about  half  its 
length.  The  hog  had  been  under  that 
straw  more  than  three  months,  with  no 
drink,  no  food  but  rye  straw,  and  not  even 
room  to  stand  up  !  Tho  animal  was  taken 
out  and  let  go,  when  it  ran  a  few  steps  and 
fell  down  It  appeared  blinded  by  the 
light,  was  ver>'  thin  and  weak,  and  was 
bleached  as  white  as  snow.  It  made  no 
attempt  to  eat,  and  appeared  to  know  no 
use  for  food  or  drink.  It  was  attacked  by 
the  other  hogs,  and  had  to  be  removed  to 
a  seperatc  enclosure,  where  it  rcmainc-d  in 
a  sort  of  imbecile  condition  fur  about  a 
week,  eating  nothing  whatever.  Mr.  At- 
water  then  poured  some  milk  down  its 
throat,  after  which  it  began  to  revive,  and 
finally  com menc^  to  nibble  corn.  It  is 
now  thriving,  with  as  bright  prospects  of 
filling  a  pork  barrel  as  any  other  hog. —

A  Ball  FJeht  at  Cadlx. 

An  officer  on  board  the  United  States 
ship  Shamrock,  in  a  letter  from  Lisbon, 
dated  August  22d,  18ti7,  gives  the  follow- 
ing account  of  a  bull  fight  which  he  at- 
tended a  few  days  before,  at  Cadiz : 
"  While  here  we  went  to  sec  a  regular  bull 
fight.  It  was  the  first  real  one  I  had  seen, 
as  at  this  place  the  bulls  are  not  killed, 
and  besides,  their  horns  being  covered 
with  thick  leather,  the  horses  cannot  be 
seriously  injured.  In  Cadiz  the  building 
is  a  very  large  one,  and  on  the  occasion 
when  we  were  there  there  were  about  six 
or  eight  thousand  people  present.  The 
ring  is  surrounded  by  a  heavy  fencp,  with 
two  gates — one  to  admit  the  live  bulls  the 
other  to  drag  out  the  dead  ones.  On  the 
inside  there  arc  a  lew  places  surrounded 
by  boards,  where  the  men  can  take  shelter 
if  chased  by  the  bull,  and  have  not  time  to 
escape  over  the  fence,  which  is  made  of 
thick  boards,  and  sufficiently  strong  to  re- 
sist any  attack  of  the  bull.  Tho  ladies 
present  occupied  the  boxes,  and  were  in 
mil  dress ;  in  fact,  a  bull  fight  is  the  grand 
occasion  for  the  sex  to  snow  their  good 
clothes.  The  torturing  and  tormenting 
which  the  bull  has  to  go  through  is,  to  use 
an  English  expression,  "beastly."  The 
worst  of  the  whole  affair  is  allowing  the 
horses  to  be  gored  until  they  can  no  lon- 
ger stand.  The  picadores,  or  horsemen, 
have  no  means  ot  defence  except  a  small 
lance,  witu  a  pike  an  inch  long  in  the  end, 
and,  when  the  bull  starts  for  them,  they 
are  seldom  able  to  check  him  in  the  least, 
and.  In  consequence,  the  poor  blindfolded 
horse  gets  tho  bulls  horns  into  his  side, 
g«nerally  ripping  him  open  frightfully. 
But  lift  e  eflbrt  is  made  to  keep  tho  horses 
out  of  the  bull's  way,  and  the  legs  of  the 
picidores  being  encased  in  iron,  it  makes 
but  little  difference  to  them  whether  the 
horse  is  knocked  down  or  not  At  the 
close  of  the  contest  the  maiadore  takes  a 
sword  and  after  playing  with  tho  bull  for 
some  time  with  a  flag,  when  the  incensed 
beast  rushes  at  him  he  runs  the  swt^rd  Into 
t  ae  bull's  neck  between  the  shoulders.  Of 
course  he  has  to  be  dexterous  and  quick  in 
the  movement  or  the  bull  would  otherwise 
probably  kill  him.  If  the  thrust  Is  well 
made  the  bull  dies  in  a  low  minutes.  These 
men  will  sit  calmly  In  a  chair  and  not 
move  until  hey  can  first  touch  the  shoul- 
ders of  tho  animal  with  the  sword,  and 
then  make  a  single  lunge.  It  is  dangerous 
work,  but  not  so  much  so  as  the  tormenting 
of  the  bull,  when  short  darts,  about  eigh- 
teen inches  long,  with  barbed  points,  arc 
run  into  the  buU's  neck  aud  allowed  to  re- 
main there,  being  decorated  with  ribbons, 
&c.,  to  look  *'  pretty."  These  things  are 
nut  done  when  the  bull  is  quiet,  but  when 
he  is  furioush'  rushing  at  the  man,  who 
thrusts  the  darts  in,  and  then  with  gr«at 
celerity  gets  out  of  the  way.  It  is  a  W)rt 
of  touch-and-go  business  as,  when  the  Hdit 
is  performed,  there  are  seldom  more  than 
six  inches  space  between  the  man  and  the 
horas  of  the  animal.  In  these  contests 
many  persons  are  often  injured,  and  occa- 
sionally some  are  killed.  There  were  six 
bulls  killed  at  this  expoJitlon,  and  twenty 
seven  horses  either  killed  or  badly  gored. 
•Vltogelher  it  was  a  very  good  fight  of  the 
kind,  and  about  as  disgusting  and  degrad- 
ing iu  its  cfi'ects  on  the  public  mind  as  any 
amusement  that  can  possibly  be  lound.  Of 
course,  therefore,  it  is  just  suited  to  give 
amusement  to  the  Spanish  race,  who,  Irom 
tho  Ruecn  and  nobility  dow  to  the  lowest 
subject,  all  go  on  Sunday  atlernoon  and 
sometimes  during  the  week  to  see  bulls  and 
horses  tortured  and  killed,  and  who  are  es- 
pecially delighted  when  fireworks  are  ap- 
plied to  tho  bull  to  make  him  savage  and 
lively.

liTtaplc. 

From  the  Norfolk  (Va.)  Joarnal. 
We  have  been  shovrn  a  specimen  of  this 
new  Southern  staple,  which  is  said  to  be 
6uporit)r  iu  productiveness  to  cotton,  and 
to  both  cotton  and  flax  as  a  textile.  It  was 
introduced  into  America  from  the  Island  of 
Java  by  Don  Benito  Roezl,  the  Austro- 
Belgian  botanist,  and  brought  by  him  to 


Havana  and  New  Orleans  in  1867.  The 
flbre  of  the  plant  is  purely  wldte,  and  ol 
a  silky  appearance — finer  than  any  cottrn 
or  flax  linen,  and  stronger.  In  -a  warm 
latitudo  the  plant  is  hardy  and  vigorous. 
The  crops  are  bikcn,  like  those  of  cane,  by 
cutting  it  at  the  ground.  From  the  rat- 
toons  spring  new  growth,  more  vigorous, 
it  is  said,  than  the  former.  In  Louisiana, 
Middle  and  Lower  Mlssiesipp',  Alabama, 
Texas,  OL-<jrgia,  Florida,  and  South  Caro- 
lina, three  or  four  cuttings  may  be  ob- 
taineil  during  the  year.  It  is  best  adapted 
to  rich,  sandy  growth,  and  is  planted  by 
cuttings  of  roots  or  stalks,  or  by  layers. 
When  well  rooted  it  will  yield  about  800 
pounds  of  the  fibre  to  the  acre,  and  has 
been  sold  in  England  at  sixiy-flve  cents  a 
pound.  Experiments  of  French  botanists 
have  evoiveJ  the  followiug  advantageous 
points : 

1.  The  ramie  is  slrongci'  than  European 
hemp. 

2.  It  ii  fifty  per  cent,  stronger  than  the 
best  Belgian  flaxen  or  linen  fibre. 

3.  The  flbre  may  bo  spun  as  fi))e  as  that 
of  flax,  and  will  prove  twice  as  durable. 

4.  It  is  a  vigorous  grower,  and  will  pro-

A  FrencU  Wonder. 

At  first  the  public  and  then  the  press 
have  been  for  some  time  heralding  the 
miraculous  cures  performed  by  an  obscure 
Zouave,  who  has  only  to  pronounce  the 
famous  "  take  up  thy  bed  and  walk"  to 
restore  sight  to  the  blind,  strMigth  to  the 
invalid,  and  healthy  vigor  to  the  paralytic. 
This  new  Messiah,' if  wo  are  to  credit  daily 
reports,  is  astonishing  doctors,  philoso- 
phers, and  the  Parisians  fencrsUy,  with 
cures  which  have  defied  all  medical  skill 
His  house  is  literally  besieged  with  suffer- 
ing humanity.  His  saloons,  bed-room, 
dining-room,  and  kitchen,  are  encumbered 
with  the  lame,  blind  and  paralytic,  who 
arrive  from  all  quarters,  attracted  by  the 
rumors  of  his  wonderful  cures ;  hundreds 
are  waiting  outside  for  their  turn,  and 
many  would  try,  as  in  tho  olden  time,  en- 
trance by  the  rool^  did  not  the  lormidablc 
conetructlon  of  tho  building  preclude  the 
possibility  of  success  iu  that  quarter.  He 
is  said  to  employ  no  medicaments,  make 
no  prescriptions,  accept  no  remuneration, 
but  simply  look  upon  the  suflerer,  com- 
mand him  to  throw  aside  his  crutches  and 
walk,  aud  the  cure  is  performed.  He  says 
he  does  this  by  a  certain  magnetic  influ- 
ence, and  can  succeed  in  nearly  every  case 
where  the  afflicted  organs  are  not  entirely 
destroyed.  His  reputation  is  hourly  In- 
creasing. The  papers  are  registering  the 
declarations  of  persons,  who,  at  thu  simple 
sight  of  the  Zouave,  have  been  able  to 
throw  away  their  crutches,  and  dance  as 
if  they  ha«l  never  been  deprived  of  the  use 
of  their  legs.  Packages  of  letters  and 
cuds  from  directors  of  hospitals,  from 
physicians  and  priests,  arrive  in  abund- 
ance from  all  quarters,  praying  the  Zouate 
ijuerisseur  to  accord  them  an  interview. 
Tho  most  astounding  cure  yet  performed 
was  that  of  a  high  personage,  whom  no 
one  could  accuse  of  a  complicity  with  th^ 
Zouave ;  that  person  was  no  other  than 
Marshal  Forey,  who,  as  everybody  knew, 
had  been  confined  to  his  bed  for  the  last 
five  or  six  months  by  a  hcmipUgi*^  and  to- 
tally unable  to  walk.  The  treatment  em- 
ployed was  the  same  in  this  circtunstance 
u  in  the  others.

A  RACT  SESTCH  FOR  TUB  LADIES. 

Mr?.  "  Pat.iy  Spangle,"  a  charming  cor- 
respondent of  the  Louisville  Courier,  ad- 
dresses the  following  to  Mr.  "  Yub  a  dam." 
There  are  many  ladies,  we  dare  say,  who 
think  with  Mrs.  Spangle,  if  they  do  not 
speak  out.  To  them  this  letter  will  be  a 
great  treat : 

I  first  met  Spangle  et  a  country  fair. 
We  were  introduced  to  each  other  about  10 
o'clock  in  the  morning,  and,  if  you  will 
behove  me,  I  did  not  get  a  chance  to  speak 
to  any  other  gentleman  that  day.  I  never 
saw  a  fellow  so  struck  at  first  sight.  I 
don't  think  he  saw  a  horse,  or  in  fact  any 
thing  that  was  on  exhibition  that  day  but 
me,  although  there  were  present  many  of 
the  most  beautiful  and  accomplished  young 
ladles  of  that  section  of  tho  countrj'.  As 
he  was  extremely  good  looking,  of  good 
family,  and  of  unexceptionable  habits  and 
character,  I,  of  course,  lelt  flattered  by  his 
marked  preference.  I  had  to  take  him  to 
uinncr,  and  introduce  him  to  pa  and  ma 
and  the  whole  family.  Ho  made  a  very 
good  impression.  In  fact  Spangle  can 
shine  when  he  tries.  I  remember  the  fact 
with  pride.  Well,  it  is  the  old  story.  Ho 
became  infatuated,  and  obtained  my  per- 
mission to  visit  me  at  my  home  and  spend 
a  day  there  in  Just  two  weeks  from  the 
day  we  met.  During  these  two  weeks  I 
received  daily  long  letters  from  Simon, 
closely  written  and  cross-written.  (I  wish 
I  had  kept  them.)  At  length  tho  day  of  his 
visit  arrived,  aud  lo  and  behold,  the  ser 
vant  girl  awoke  me  in  the  morning  with 
the  pleasant  information  that  Spangle  was 
waiting  for  me  in  the  parlor.  Here  was  a 
lover  for  yen ! 

Well,  well !  As  I  faid  before,  it  was  the 
old  story  ever  recurring,  ever  sweetly  told, 
and  ever  listened  to  by  willin";  curs.  Suf- 
fice it  to  say  that  from  that  day  I  saw  no 
Eeace  until  I  became  Mrs.  Spangle.  Our 
oneymoon  was,  I  suppose,  liiie  all  honey- 
moons, short  and  dchcious. 

And  then  came  the  realities  of  life.  It 
is  my  belief  that  this  is  the  most  trying 
period  of  woman's  life.  However  kind 
and  attentive  her  husband  may  bo,  a  young 
wifie  when  she  enters  upon  the  actualities 
of  life,  has  disclof  ed  to  her  a  state  of  facts 
of  which  she  has  little  or  no  conception 
before  marriage.  When  sho  leaves  au  at- 
mosphere of  romance  and  adulation  and 
enters  upon  the  realities  of  life,  it  is  like 
stepping  out  of  a  garden  of  summer  flow- 
ers into  the  regions  of  perpetual  winter, 
and  unless  she  brings  all  of  her  good  seme 
and  philosophy  to  her  aid,  her  affections 
will  become  chilled,  and  she  will  regard 
herself  a  disappointed,  if  not  a  deceived, 
woman  for  the  balance  of  her  life.  It  is 
the  hope  that  our  experience  may  be  of 
benellt  to  young  wives  that  induces  me  to 
reveal  some  of  the  domestic  incidents  and 
infelicities  of  twelve  years  of  married  life. 

After  our  brict  holiday.  Spangle — to  use 
his  own  cxprcEsion — took  a  lilt  at  tlie 
world,  determined  to  wrest  from  it  not  only 
a  competence  but  a  fortune,  that  would 
place  mo  in  the  most  beatific  attitude  tu  be 
obtained  by  opulence. 

The  dear  fellow  did  work  hard,  and  il 
he  met  with  obstacles,  and  difficulties,  and 
trials,  the  world  never  knew  it.  Ho  re- 
served them  lor  his  fireside,  and,  although 
he  did  not  accuse  me  as  the  cau=e,  yet  he 
recounted  them  in  a  tone  and  manner  so 
different  from  the  joyous  and  buoyant  Ian 
guage  of  courtship,  that  I  could  but  feel  I 
was  some  way  or  other  accountable  for  his 
troubles.  Although  I  never  seriously 
doubted  his  lovo  for  me,  yet  he  certainly 
permitted  many  excellent  opportunities  for 
manifesting  it  to  pass  uniniprovod.  Be- 
fore we  were  married,  he  seemed  to  havo 
a  perfect  mania  for  holding  my  hand,  and 
I  used  to  wonder  if  ho  would  ever  give  me 
an  opportunity  to  do  any  needle  work 
after  marriage.  But,  bless  your  soul! 
after  marriage,  when  opportunities  for 
indulging  in  that  dehclous  pastime  were 
abundant,  il  Eecmed  to  have  lost  its  charm. 
Poor,  foolish  me !  I  was  often  aggrieved 
at  his  apparent  coolness,  and  would  ask 
him  twenty  times  a  day  If  he  did  not  love 
mo.  "  Why,  certainly  I  do,  mv  dear  iittle 
puss ;  I  thought  you  knew  iL"  Yte,  ho 
tUought  I  knew  it !  Perhaps  I  did  I  ah o 
knew  that  we  had  plenty  of  fiour  and 
bacon  in  the  pantry,  but  tha*.  knowledge 
did  not  satisfy  my  hunger. 

It  is  true  that  this  aflection  manlfe&ltd 
Itsell  spasmodically  with  all  tho  warmth  and 
ardor  of  the  old  days,  but  these  ebullitions 
were  the  exceptions.  Tlie  rule  was,  "  I 
thought  you  knew  it."  Yes,  girls,  when 
you  get  husbands  they  will  expect  you  to 
know  it,  and  my  advice  to  you  is,  that  j  ou 
got  all  the  courting  you  want  befaro  you 
are  married,  for  after  that  event  what  httlo 
courting  is  done  in  the  family  will  have  to 
be  done  by  tho  wife. 

We  havo  six  children,  all  beautiful  and 

f;ood.  Spangle  takes  great  prido  in  them, 
oves  them,  and  growls  at  them  like  a  dear 
old  bear.  You  must  not  think  that  Span- 
gle regards  the  "  new  comers  "  as  burtlens. 
Quite  tho  reverse.  He  goes  into  ecfct.icies 
over  each  one;  dilates  upon  its  beauties 
and  perfections  for  five  minutes,  and  then 
seems  to  think  it  ought  to  be  laid  away  to 
grow  up,  and  be  no  further  trouble  to  him 
until  they  want  to  marry.  If  one  of  them 
has  the  bellyache  and  cries  at  night.  Span- 
gle thinks  that  the  pain  is  a  special  hard- 
ship to  him,  because  it  keeps  him  awake  a 
few  minutes.  The  fact  is  undeniable  tlut 
■  he  best  men  are  selfish  brutes  £o  far  as  ba- 
bies are  concerned. 

I  will  siy,  though,  that  of  all  tha  chil- 
dren I  have.  Spangle  is  the  biggest  baby. 
Tis  true  ho  was  ihrougii  most  of  the 
aUments  I  havo  enumerated  belore  I  got 
him,  but  in  a  thousand  other  respects  he 
sliil  is,  and  always  will  remain  in  that 
chronic  state  of  babyhood  which  ever  at- 
tends over  indulged  and  spoiled  husband?. 
When  we  were  first  married  my  old  baby 
would  almost  break  his  back  lo  pick  up 
my  fan,  and  he  would  kiU  a  fly  in  a  minute 
if  the  fiy  manifested  a  disposition  to  alight 
on  my  nose. 

Now  I  have  to  almost  literally  dress  him 
in  tho  mroning.  I  have  to  get  his  boots 
together,  one  of  which  he  generally  kicks 
under  the  bureau,  the  other  under  the  bed. 
I  always  have  to  find  his  cravat.  If  I  go 
to  bed  first,  iu  the  morning  I  find  Lis 
clothes  scattered  over  the  room  as  only  a 
man  c&n  scatter  clothes.  He  would  never 
put  on  a  clean  shirt  if  it  were  not  spread 
out  on  a  chair  before  him.  His  sleeve 
buttons  are  taken  out  and  put  in  by  me. 
when  taktu  out  and  put  in  at  all.  I  do  not 
beiicvo  he  has  combed  his  own  head  since 
we  were  married.  He  can't  even  wash  his 
fiice  properly  without  being  told,  like  any 
other  child.  If  I  did  not  wash  him,  liis 
ears  and  the  back  of  hia  neck  would  be  a 
sight  to  behold. 

Albeit  he  has  no  patience  for  others  who 
have  pains  and  aches,  yet  you  ought  to 
see  him  when  anything  is  the  matt-jr  with 
him.  He  tears,  and  groans,  and  grunts 
over  a  shght  attack  of  colic  in  a  manner  to 
keep  every  one  awake  in  the  house.  At 
such  times  he  always  believes  he  is  going 
to  die,  and  will  not  suffer  me  to  leave  him 
for  a  moment 

Yet  with  all  his  faults  I— wei J,  you  know 

the  quotation.    I  believe  he  is  thu  best  m;in 

living,  and  I  would  not  give  him  for  a  ten 

acre  lot  lull  of  men  like  the  scapegrace  of 

a  husband  which  your  foolish,  credulous 

correspondent  "  Dolly  Dash,"  is  so  silly 

about.

Deatit  op  a  Local. — The  following  is 
a  description  of  tbe  lac^t  end  of  a  local  reporter:

wtttistandln?  all  his  falecbooda,  for  ho  knew  It

relatives  down  stairs,  and  got  his  awlftant  reporter 
to  »taDd  by  him.  and  he  made  blm  swear  that  bo 
would  not  give  tbe  item  to  any  other  paper,  and 
then  with  a  ferene  Rmile  on  hi^  lace,  be yieidtd  np

Aerlcaltural  Items. 

CoBir  AND  Hogs— The  N.  Y.  Inde- 
pendent says,  from  carefully  conducted  ex- 
periments by  different  persons,  it  has  been 
ascertained  that  one  bushel  of  corn  will 
make  a  little  over  lUi.^  pounds  of  pork- 
gross.  Taking  the  result  as  a  basis,  the 
following  deductions  are  made  which  all 
our  farmers  would  do  well  to  lay  by  for  a 
convenient  reference — that: 

When  com  sells  for  12}4  cents  per 
bushel,  pork  costs  "[%  cents  per  pound. 

When  com  costs  l7  cents  per  bushel, 
pork  costs  2  cents  per  pound. 

When  corn  costs  25  cents  per  bushel, 
pork  costs  3  cents  per  pound. 

When*  corn  costs  Sti  cents  per  bushrf, 
pork  costs  4  cents  per  pound. 

When  corn  costs  50  cents  per  bushel, 
pork  costs  5  cents  per  pound. 

Value  of  Gkass  L.vnd.— Tho  time 
has  not  yet  come  when  farmers  appreciate, 
as  they  should,  the  value  of  grass.  Every 
year  diary  products  are  bccomiii£  dearer, 
because  the  grass  region  is  limited,  and 
only  a  few  years  will  be  required  to  give 
any  farm  natural  for  grass  a  value  which 
now  would  bo  thought  excessive.  If  I 
wished  to  buy  a  farm  lor  my  posterity, 
which  would  continually  increase  in  value, 
I  certainly  should  choofe  it  in  the  region 
of  grass.  For  1  do  know  that  during  the 
course  of  one's  hfo,  a  grass  farm  will  bring 
more  money  and  comfort  and  with  lets 
work  than  any  other  farm,  whether  on  tho 
Sciota,  the  Wabash,  or  the  Missibtippi  bot 
toms ;  nor  can  a  farm  of  equal  value  be 
selected  and  made  anywhere  within  the 
belt  lormed  by  the  topics,  the  whole  world 
aiound. — 17.  C.  M,  in  N.  Y.  Tiilvne. 

Black  Leg  in  Cattle.— The  Amcri- 
can  Stock  Journal  recommends  the  follow- 
ing remedies  for  this  fearful  diecafc  w  hidi 
carried  off'  some  of  the  stock  In  this  State 
last  spring. 

'  This  disease  is  said  io  result  sometimes 
from  sudden  change  in  the  quality  of  the 
food.  Overfed  young  animals,  and  those 
iu  very  low  condition  are  most  frequently' 
attacked.  We  would  recommend  the  fol- 
lowing trealmenl :  Mix  4  drachms  epirits 
of  haitshorn,  and  one  quart  of  tar  a  atcr, 
to  this  add  one  ounce  tincture  of  bicodrttol, 
and  give  as  a  drench.  Four  hours  ttftcr, 
give  a  mixture  of  liquid  tsr  1  02.,  glycerine 
4  oz.,  thin  gruel  one  quart.  If  the  animal 
shows  lameness  in  thehack  or  hindquarters, 
apply  oil  of  cedar  2  oz ,  cadliver  oil,  0  oz., 
sulphuric  ether  2  oz.,  linctuie  ol  capsicum 
1  oz.  First  mix  the  two  oils,  than  add  the 
ether,  shake  them  thoroughly,  laell)'  add 
the  tiucluie.  It  should  be  well  rul/Gcd  in 
on  the  paili  affected."

bright  lustre,  known  as  comLiijg  wool  In 
our  markets,  being  the  most  det>irable  and

twelve  inches  in  length,  eomttimes as  long 
as  eiglitecn  inches,  and  tliears  Irom  ten  to 
fifteen  pvounds  each,  Eome  ram's  f5ecce  as 
high  as  sixteen  to  twenty  pounds.  For

England,  when  fattened,  they  grow  to  a 
very  largo  weight,  as  high  as  85U  pounds

of  enduring  any  amiunt  of  cold  and  wet. 
Combii.ing  these  sevtial  qualities  to  tho  ex-

A  horribii!  ecaCold  eccne  occurred  the 
other  day  in  the  prison  yard  of  .luuer,  in

former  lover,  by  an  ret  thai  had  led  to  the 
death  of  several  persons.  Ihe  laithless

when  the  execuii.)ner  bared  her  neck,  and 
was  about  to  fasti:a  her  to  the  fatal  block, 
sho  broke  loose  fiom  him  Jtiid  hi«  assist-

Thrre'g  sunshine  on  the  meadows, 

Ana  sunshine  on  the  road, 
And  through  the  brljthtness  tolls  my  horsB 
ix^t-ata  a  weary  lond  • 
And  as  I  stand  besldo  my  gate,  with  hand  before 

my  eyea, 
I  hear  the  children  lanjh  to  ace  the  household  god* 
I  prize. 

There  was  n  time  when  this  old  home 

Was  full  of  mirtli  and  rIco. 
But  one  by  one  the  household  went 
And  left  it  all  to  me— 
A  quiet  houpi'  of  vacant  rooms,  each  made  a  sa- 
cred place 
By  echo  of  a  niletin^  voice,  or  dream  of  vauiahed 
face. 

Ah.  how  I  used  to  pause  before 

The  minor  on  the  etatr. 
And  tliako  my  lon^  li'aick  rlaglet*  ont 
And  fancy  I  was  fair  I 
T  took  that  quaint  old  mirror  down,  aad  nackctd  it 

upUetnljjUt, 
And  nercr  stopped  to  trick  my  hak -for  what  is 
loft  law  hit*! 

In  later  years  I  used  to  alt 

And  watcii  the  long  green  lane, 
For  one  who  came  in  tnoae  old  times, 
But  cannot  come  a^aln. 
And  somehow  eUll.  at  erotlde  mr  chair  i»  turned 

that  way ; 
I  sit  and  work  where  ones  I  watched— I  s'tt  io  y»«- 
Icrda?. 

Uy  now  house  is  a  pleasant  place. 

But  yet  It  grieves  nio  how 
Its  srnull  completeness  seem  to  say 
My  world  Is  narrow  now. 
'Tis  far  too  small  for  any  ono  with  fetti  vala  to  keep. 
But  for  my  lunt-ral  larjjo  euonjfh,  for  few  will  como 
to  weep. 

Good  hre.  old  house,  a  long  good  bye  ; 

My  hind  Is  on  jourgate; 
Thunga  teaxii  are  gaUierlng  In  my  eyes, 
1  may  not  longer  wait. 
Good  bye,  old  house,  and  after  all,  mv  love  which 

makes  you  dear 
Awaits  me  in  that  heavi*uly  home   which   I  am 
drawing  near. 


STORT. 

Tired  witTi  our  long  trdmp  after  game — 
for  the  day  had  been  very  warm — we 
threw  ouisclvee  upon  a  bare  spot  of  ground 
on  the  prairif,  where  a  low  ridje  gave 
shelter  from  the  rays  of  the  declining  sun. 
Suabcs  were  abundant  hereabouts,  and 
Iherelorc  it  was  that  we  selected  a  clear 
ppacc  lor  our  bivouac,  lest  we  might  sit 
down  upon  a  nctt  of  them  unawares. 

"  How  bleak  and  dismal  a  country  looks 
without  trees ! "  cxoluiLatd  one  of  the 
party.  "  Even  otio  solitary  tree  would  be 
a  cainliirt  now.  Think  how  cozily  wc 
could  stretch  ourselves  and  smoke  our 
pinro  under  the  shade  ol  a  spreading 
oak  I" 

•'  1  used  to  think  a  good  deal  of  trees," 
drjly  remarked  Major  Holster— a  man 
A  ho  had  traveled  over  most  countriea  ol 
the  world.  "  1  used  to  love  trees,  in  fact," 
co:;tinue<l  he ;  "  but  I  somehow  lost  confl- 
dcucc  in  them  long  a^o.  it's  very  pleas- 
ant to  lie  nndcr  a  tree  when  you  know 
what's  in  it ;  but  suppose  you  don't  ?  " 

There  was  a  vague  mvsiery,  if  not  hor- 
ror, Ln  the  suggestion  thrown  out  by  the 
major,  and  the  rest  of  the  party,  with  one 
voicv,  called  upon  him  to  «p!ain. 

"  Well,"  began  ho,  •'  I  never  was  abso- 
lutely treed  but  once  ifl  my  life,  and  here's 
the  wav  it  happened :  I  had  fixed  mysolf 
up  for  hunting  among  the  high  ridges  in  a 
central  country  ol  South  'America,  and 
there  I  lived  in  clover,  I  tell  you,  for 
many  weeks,  game  of  all  sorts  balng  plen- 
tj',  and  the  climate,  most  of  the  time,  very 
ealubrious  and  pleasant.  One  day,  tired 
of  the  sport  I  had  long  been  enloying  on 
the  high  grounds,  I  made  myself  up  for  a 
day  after  the  wild  ducks,  which  wore  very 
numerous  among  the  dykes  and  ponds  of  a 
large  tract  ol  meadow  land  that  lay  Just 
below  where  I  had  built  my  shanty.  It 
w  as  early  in  the  morning  when  1  started 
on  my  Luut,  alone,  and  all  went  very 
sniouiiiiy  with  mo  till  near  noon,  my  cblel 
Uiriiculty  hciRg  to  carry  the  ducks,  with 
A\"titch  my  ^fame-bag  was  soon  so  stulfed 
that  I  was  obliged  to  string  the  next  com- 
ers from  my  buttonholes,  and  even  about 
my  ueck.  I  must  havo  locked  much  like 
one  ol  those  Itinerant  poulterers  one  sorae- 
times  meets  with  iu  the  cities. 

"  In  the  latitudes  to  which  I  refer,  thun- 
der-storms are  sudden  and  violent.  The 
air  is  perfectly  clear  and  pleaeant,  and  the 
sky  of  an  intense  blue,  when,  all  at  once, 
you  will  Eie  a  small  black  cloud  rising  up 
lo  ihowcatward,  maybe,  and,  before  you 
have  time  to  say  '  thunder,'  the  dusky 
vapor  goes  surjjing  and  spiring  out  on 
every  Sido,  uulil  darkness  overspreads 
everything,  aiid  then  the  lightning  seems 
to  fan  vour  cheek  with  its  flashing  pin- 
ions; the  thunder  smashes  and  craalies 
close  above  and  around  you,  and  the  rain 
coraesdowDjUOt  in  drops,  as  wc  are  ac- 
customed to  see  il  m  this  feeble  and  un- 
mteretting  climate,  but  in  great  cylinders, 
as  if  the  bottoms  had  come  out  of  the  wa- 
tering-pots overhead,  and  the  article  was 
coming  down  with  a  looseness.  Well,  this 
was  what  happoiicii  in  a  jidy,  so  lo  speak, 
ji;si  as  1  was  preparing  to  cat  a  bit  ol 
lunch  I  had  brought  with  mc.  There  was 
no  use  in  my  turning  to  run  for  home. 
The  thing  was  so  sudden  that,  on  looking 
toward  the  ridge,  1  could  see  the  streams 
that  had  lately  been  mere  threads  raging 
and  tumbling  down  among  the  rocks  in 
cascades,  currying  stones  and  trees  and 
great  raxjsea  of  earth  along  with  them. 
The  high  grounds  v/ere  at  least  a  mile 
away,  and  yet  I  made  instinctively  to- 
ward them,  but  had  not  gone  a  hundred 
yards  when  I  was  aware  of  water  plashing 
beneath  my  leet  in  a  vvay  ia  which  it  had 
cot  plasheti  during  the  morning's  tramp. 
Immediatbly  it  wasup  to  my  ankles,  and 
I  haidly  had  made  up  my  mind  as  to  what 
I  had  best  do  when  1  found  the  ripples  of 
it  poanngover  the  tops  ol  my  boots.  The 
whole  meadow  was  one  great  lake  in  less 
than  a  quarter  of  an  hour,  with  the  tops 
of  the  tallest  reeds  fait  disappearing  be- 
neath the  domineering  element.  Cropping 
prou  ily  out  of  the  water,  at  about  one 
hundred  yards  from  whore  I  stood,  I  could 
Just  disiinguish  a  sfjlitary  tree,  the  only 
one  to  be  seen  for  miles  around.  For  this 
1  made,  and  the  water  was  nearly  up  to 
my  arm-pitb  when  I  reached  it.  It  was  a 
huge  mora  tree,  the  gnarled  limbs  of  which 
stood  out  within  reach  from  the  ground,  so 
that  I  had  no  difficulty  in  climoiag  into 
1* ;  ai)d  once  there  I  climbed  np  liUo  the 
branches  abore  any  possible  high-water 
mark;  aad,  seating  myself  firmly,  in  a  co- 
modious  crotch,  1  pulled  my  cap  over  my 
eyes  and  resigned  myself  to  late. 

•'  Thick  as  the  foliage  of  the  tree  was,  it 
formed  but  a  poor  shield  against  th»  driv- 
ing torrent,  and  bo  wet  was  f ,  and  chilled, 
that  1  should  certainly  have  descended 
from  my  perch,  and  stiuck  out  for  the 
high  lands  but  for  two  reasons ;  the  first  of 
which  was  that  1  cannot  swim,  and  the 
second,  that  the  alligators  from  the  swamps, 
as  I  was  well  aware,  go  prowling  around 
when  these  suddon  freshets  take  place,  to 
look  after  such  stray  creatures  as  may 
have  been  washed  down  from  the  settle- 
ments and  sent  adrift  in  the  fl(xxl.  The 
rain  was  abating  now,  and  on  looking 
down  to  see  Isow  high  up  my  tree  the  water 
hid  reached,  1  noticed  that  it  was  pour- 
ing in  at  a  large  knot-hole  in  the  hollow 
trunk,  which  hole  was  at  a  distance  of 
a»)oat  twelve  feet  from  the  ground,  and 
nearly  as  far  below  where  I  was  sitting 
The  vwra  tree,  when  old,  is  apt  to  be  hol- 
lo v  not  only  in  the  trunk,  but  in  all  iu 
principal  branches— and  my  tree  was  no 
exception  to  the  general  rule,  as  you  shall 
see. 

"  While  I  was  looking  eagerly  out  upon 
the  waters,  to  see  whether  any  reappear- 
ing top*  of  reetls  mijihl  give  a  hope  that 
the  flood  was  falling,  I  felt  a  powerful  jerk 
at  the  breast  of  my  coat — so  powerful,  in 
fact,  that  it  nearly  tugged  me  out  of  my 
seat.  When  I  had  recovered  from  my  as- 
tonishment at  this,  I  ventured  to  look 
down,  and  there,  to  my  extreme  horror,  I 
Saw  an  immense  serpent,  of  the  boa  kind, 
coiUtl  among  the  branches  a  few  feet  below 


mc.  The  reptile  had  evidently  been  driv- 
en by  the  water  from  its  lodging  in  the 
hollow  of  the  tree,  and  had  crawled  out 
through  one  of  the  numerous  knot-holes. 
Attracted  by  the  ducks  that  were  attached 
with  a  lerthern  thong  to  the  upper  button- 
hole of  my  coat,  it  l.ud  just  swallowed  the 
lowermost  of  them,  and  was  struggjing 
hard  with  the  next  when  I  was  attracted 
by  its  movements.  Of  course,  I  lost  no 
time  in  severing  my  connetion  with  this 
horrible  creature,  by  cutting  the  string ; 
had  I  not  done  which  promptly,  1  think  it 
quite  probable  that  1  should  have  been 
sucked  iu  when  my  turn  cimc.  which 
would  have  been  atier  tbo  thitd  duck,  for 
the  reptile  was  big  enough  and  ugly 
enough  to  have  held  us  all  fjur.  Then,  as 
I  scrambled  up  among  the  brauchcs  in 
search  of  a  fafer  atylum,  what  was  my 
horror  to  find  them  interwoven  and  hlts- 
ing  with  serpents  of  all  sorts  and  slzc.^, 
each  and  every  one  of  whicli  cvidcully 
looked  upon  mc  us  au  interloper  and  intru- 
der upon  their  pruatf-  premises!  Tijo 
snakes  were  of  a  sn:allei  kind  as  I  contin- 
ued lo  ascend  the  lice,  and  1  thought  at 
first  there  might  bu  some  advantage  in 
that,  and  kept  going  up  But,  ughT  just 
as  I  was  about  to  grasp  a  branch,  for  the 
purpose  of  swinging  myself  into  a  crolcb, 
I  saw  lying  stretched  out  upon  il  a  yellow, 
vicious  looKing  snake,  which  1  at  once  re 
cognized  as  a  specimen  of  tho  deadly  tizit- 
frcta,  or  sulphur-viper,  one  totch  from  the 
fangs  of  which,  and  m  half  au  hour  I 
should  have  beeu  a  livid  corpse!  Now  I 
knew  that  1  had  got  up  into  the  leglju  of 
poiatmous  reptiles,  and  wished  myself  back 
with  the  boas ;  but  on  consideration  I  touk 
a  middle  course,  and  lowcnng  myself  down 
to  the  branches  among  which  I  had  no- 
ticed the.  smaller  constrictors,  I  unslung 
my  gun,  intending  to  fire  a  shot  from  it 
every  now  an  then,  to  keep  tho  noxious 
creatures  at  bay.  It  would  not  go  olf, 
however,  being  thoroughly  saturated  with 
water ;  and  88  night  was  coming  on  now,  I 
lashed  myself  to  a  branch  with  my  belts, 
as  well  as  I  could,  and  strove  to  shut  out 
from  my  mind  the  prospect  of  a  weary 
and  horrible  night. 

"The  rain  was  over  and  tbe  thunder 
could  be  heard  rolling  far,  far  away ;  but 
the  night  was  still  a  dark  one,  and  I  know 
that  il  would  yet  be  many  hours  before 
the  waters  had  fallen  pufBcienlly  f>)r  int.*  to 
make  my  escape. 

"  1  tried  for  a  wnilc  lo  combat  the  ap- 
pioach  of  Bleep,  but  at  last  1  could  resist 
il  iufiuencc*  no  longer;  my  weary  eyelids 
clofed  and  I  lell  into  a  heavy  slumber. 
How  long  I  had  been  asleep  I  cannot  say, 
bat  I  know  thai  I  was  startled  into  wide 
wakefulness  some  lime  in  the  night  by  one 
of  tho  most  frii^utful  uproars  it  h.id  ever 
been  my  fortune  lo  hear. 

"  For  a  moment  I  iioiagined  I  had  faheu 
asleep  in  a  menagerie,  and  that  the  keep- 
ers were  poking  at  mo  with  their  long 
poles  to  rouse  me.  Some  creature- -and  it. 
wasn't  a  very  light  one,  I  cau  tell  you— 
wont  scrambling  up  my  body  lo  gain  tho 
higher  brauches  of  the  tree,  leaving  bs 
hind  it  deep  traces  of  Us  claws  on  my  flesh. 
Glaring  eyeballs  were  to  be  seen  every- 
where I  turned,  and  the  tree  was  trans 
formed  into  a  wdd  and  hideous  orchestra, 
with  screams  of  leopards  and  other  beasts 
of  prey,  mingled  with  the  hissing  of 
enakfs  and  tho  rapping  of  their  scalc3  as 
they  struggled  with  one  another  in  the  tur- 
moil of  the  night 

"  From  the  lower  part  of  tho  tree  came 
up,  over  and  anon,  the  grunting  and  growl- 
ing of  the  large  beasts,  such  as  bears  that 
had  sought  refuge  there  by  swimming 
from  the  neighboring  jungle. 

"  Nothing  that  1  had  ever  read  concern- 
ing Pandemonium  was  comparable  for 
horror  to  the  tumult  by  which  I  was  sur- 
roundetl  on  that  memorable  mght.  Years 
appeared  to  have  pa»-;ed  over  my  head  be- 
fore morning  began  in  dawn,  and  then,  in 
the  first  gray  twilight,  I  had  glimpses  here 
and  there  ol  the  rreaiuies  among  whom  I 
had  passed  the  night.  There  were  cou- 
gars, and  spoiled  leopards,  and  flercc-eyed 
cats  of  all  sorts  and  sizes  glaring  at  me 
from  tho  nooks  and  knot  holes  of  the  tree  ; 
but  I  did  not  notice  a  single  serpent  now, 
and  as  1  could  see  In  thu  increasing  ligh: 
that  tho  waters  had  nearly  subsided,  1  sup- 
posed that  the  reptiles  had  betaken  them- 
selves to  their  haunt*  amid  the  roots  and 
hollows  of  the  tree, 

"  Two  huge  brown  bears  leaped  from 
tho  lower  branenes  and  scuttled  away  for 
the  jungle  as  I  mtdo  my  way  down  the 
tree,  from  which  I  dropped  on  the  soft, 
plashy  ground  with  a  thankful  heart,  and 
an  inward  resolve  not  to  bo  caught  in  a 
rainstorm  in  those  regions  again— not  if  1 
knew  it. 

"About  a  week  after  this  adventure, 
when  everything  had  become  as  dry  as 
tmder  under  the  buraing  sun,  I  went  down 
with  my  Indians,  all  armed  with  spears  and 
torches,  and  wo  kindled  a  great  tire  round 
the  roots  of  the  old  lone  nuvi  tree.  Il  was 
nearly  b:ire  of  leaves  now  fiom  the  rain 
and  wind,  and  we  could  see  the  terrible 
t-quirming  that  took  place  among  its  wide- 
spreading  branches  as  the  flames  went 
whirling  and  licking  around  its  trunk, 

"  Monstrous  serpents  reared  themsrlvea 
out  of  the  knot-holes  and  sped  like  forked 
lightning  up  iato  the  higher  branches, 
which,  in  some  cases,  were  unable  to  sup 
port  their  weight,  and  the  knotted  reptiles 
came  whirling  to  the  ground,  where  they 
were  quickly  dispatched  by  the  spears  ol 
the  Indians. 

"Many  small  snakes— some  of  which 
were  of  the  most  dangerous  kinds — otme 
gliding  away  from  tho  burning  roots  of  the 
tree;  but  wo  suffered  none  of  them  to 
escape. 

"  How  I  could  h^vc  stocked  a  museum 
with  magnificent  specimens  of  live  boas 
had  I  only  possessed  ihe  nleaua  of  IraLS- 
porting  them  to  somo  seaport  town !  for 
the  Indians  with  me  would  have  lassoed 
any  of  them  at  my  bidding. 

"  A  fter  burning  for  an  hour,  the  mighty 
tree  sank  down  into  its  ashes,  a  confused 
massofguar'ed,  blackened  limbs,  seething 
and  throbbing  with  the  half  charred  bodies 
of  serpents.  We  killed  eighty-four  snakes 
of  many  varieties  and  all  sizes  on  this 
occasion,  and  it  is  probable  that  quite  as 
many  more  were  destroyed  by  the  flames. 

"  After  this  adventure,  I  don't  feel  quite 
a3  much  coafldence  in  trees  as  I  used  to. 
Has  anybody  else  got  a  story  to  tell  ?  " 

Nobody  eiso  had.

Edward  A.  Pollard  contributea  to  the 
So'Jthern  Bme  Journal,  a  new  literary 
paper,  just  started  at  Baltimore,  an  ar- 
ticle on  tho  " Last  CouncilBoard  of  the 
Southern  Confederacy,"  from  Which  we 
select  the  following . 

The  fall  of  Richmond  was  the  fatal  event 
of  tho  Conlvxlcracy.  The  black  banner 
which  the  smoke  from  its  conflagration  set 
in  the  sky,  signalled  from  the  Potomac  to 
tho  MisaLssippi  the  end  of  the  war,  the 
despair  and  submission  of  the  South.  It 
was  under  that  sign  thai  tlic  army  of  Gen- 
eral lico  commenced  its  toilsome  retreat, 
and  the  train  of  officials  set  out  to  find 
somo  theatre  of  the  war  beyond  Virginia, 
some  remnant  of  a  government,  tho  nnni- 
hilation  of  which  they  had  not  yet  fully 
realized.    Wo  have  said  that  iu  these  last 

Eaiuful  days  of  the  Confederacy  t  hero  was 
ut  liiUo  of  dramatic  scene  lo  heighten 
aud  adorn  the  last  act  of  tho  tragedy.  No 
grand  catastrophe  mounted  tho  stage.  A 
tattered  and  traveled  stained  army  moved 
through  the  woods  aud  on  blind  roads, 
with  straggling,  distressed  trains,  its  march 
dotted  with  dead  and  famished  soldiers, 
until  broken  down  by  toil  and  hunger,  it 
quietly  surrendered,  and,  with  a  mere  in- 
siru.nent  of  writing,  laid  down  ilri  arms  at 
Appomattox  Court  1  louse.  Ilichmoud  had 
beeu  deserted  without  a  ccnferenco  ;  there 
had  been  no  final  ?cenc  at  the  council- 
boaid,  no  high  debate,  no  official  speech  or 
inspiration  that  coidd  properly  mark  the 
great  historical  interest  of  the  event.  It 
was  a  vulgar  tumult  to  which  the  Conted- 
erate  cai)ilol  had  beon  abandoned.  Tame 
and  unworthy  were  the  last  ^days  of  an 
empire  whose  prowess  had  once  challenged 
the  admiration  of  Iho  woild,  whose  arms 
had  twice  peuvlralcd  the  emmy's  country, 
whoso  two  hundred  cannon  had  b^lowed 
for  peace  on  the  heights  of  Gettysburg, 
whu&e  caiup-fires  had  more  than  once  been 
lighted  in  the  very  foreground  of  Wash- 
ington. 

But  in  this  poverty  of  scenery  and  inci- 
dent iu  which  the  Southern  Confedercy 
perished,  there  was  yet  one  remarkable  in- 
terview or  council  which  has  heretofore 
been  lost  to  the  currcut  and  popular  his- 
tories of  the  war— a  scono  which  though 
taking  place  in  a  small  and  obscure  thea- 
tre, vailed  fron  public  knowledge,  is  ol 
Lnlease  dramatic  iutercit,  and  is  likely  yet 
to  fiirnliih  the  last  illuminated  page  to  some 
artistic  hittorian  of  tho  war,  who  like 
Macaulay  shall  produce  this  very  images  of 
tho  past  along  with  the  record  of  events. 
It  was  the  last  interview,  the  last  coafer- 
cnce  of  JelTerison  Davis  and  his  officers. 
It  took  place  in  a  little  town  in  South 
Cai-olina ;  it  was  known  only  to  the  lew 
men  who  assembled  there  with  their  fugi- 
tive chief;  yet  it  was  properly  the  last 
scene  of  the  war's  great  drama.  It  had 
a  dignity  that  had  not  yet  appeared  in  tho 
finalchaplcr  of  misfortune,  and  it  is  mem- 
orable alike  for  its  artiytic  effects  and  its 
historical  Importance. 

The  e.K-Presidenl  of  the  Confederacy  had 
issued  at  UauvsUe,  Virginia,  au  ingenious 
and  sanguine  proclamation,  which  possibly 
might  have  aroused  his  countrymen  to  fur- 
ther eflbrts  in  the  war,  had  not  the  effusion 
bfcn  checked  by  the  news  of  General  Lee's 
surrender.    This  event  appeared  to  deter- 
mine the  last  hopes  of  the  Southern  people, 
to  convince  them  that  further  prosecution 
of  the  war  was  uselcie,  and  even  criminal  in 
a  fruitless  consumption  of  human  life.   Not 
so  with  Mr.  Davi^.     He  was  remarkable  for 
a  sanguine  temperament ;  he  had  that  dis- 
position, at    once    imperious    and    weak, 
wtiich,  demanding  that  all  things  must  bo 
as  it  wishes,  believes  them  so ;  and  what 
the  world  thought  the  swollen  boasts  of  a 
desperate  and  falling  leador  were  really  the 
biucero  illusions  of  a  proud  man  who  never, 
Indeed,  fully  rea'l/ed  the  extremity  of  his 
cause  until  "tho  iron  onl^irod  his  soul "  in 
the  casemates  of  Fortress  Monroe.    In  his 
strangely  deliberate  and  leisurely  retreat 
through  the   Carolinas,  he  had  not  ap- 
peared lor  a  moment  to  realize  that  be  was 
a  fugitive,  and  he  looked  with  complacency 
upon  the  dissolved  fragments  of  the  army 
that  had  gathered  on  the  lino  of  his  flight, 
and  that  pursued  it  with  a  vague  aud  un- 
certain design.    Aa  officer  who  was  con- 
stantly in  his  compan}'  in  what  might  be 
thought  davs  of  anguish  and  despair  to  the 
fallen  chief  testifies :    "  Mi-.  Davis  was  ap- 
parently  untouched    by   any  ol  thu  do- 
moral-zition    which    prevailed— ho    was 
affable,  diguiflcd,  aud  looked  the  very  per- 
sonification    of     high     aud     undaunted 
courage  "    He  yet  persisted  that  the  cause 
was  not  lobl,  although  Leo  had  surrendered 
although  Johnston  had  furled  his  banners 
without  a  battle,  and  although  all  that  was 
visible  of  the  great  armies  that  had  stootl 
from   Richmond  to  Augusta,  on  the  doai- 
inanl  lines  of  the  war,  were  the  less  than 
<mo  thousand  soldiers,  fragments  of  brig- 
ades that  a.ssembled  around  him  at  Abbe- 
ville,  South    Carolina,  when    ho  paused 
there  for  a  final  couacil  with  his  Generals 
There  is  somethlag  curious,  even  pain- 
ful, in  this  delusion,  yet  admirable  and 
sublime.    The  ex-President  refused  to  read 
the  word  "failure,"  which  tho  public  had 
pronounced  agaln-'t  hint,  and  which   he 
might  have  seen  written  in  the  face,"*  ol  the 
slouched  and  dispirited  soldiers  who  yet 
attended  him.    His  glittering  eye  was  not 
yet  quenched  ;  his  slackened  nerves  were 
struug  up  with  a  new  resolution  and  hope , 
he  was  practising  that  most  difficult  art  of 
life,  which  maintains   even   manners  in 
sudden  adversity,  and  with  the  trained 

fjambler's  steady  challenge,  coolly  and  de- 
iberately  tries  the  last  resuurce  of  fortune. 
But  even  that  last  resource  was  denied 
him.  Fortune  liad  no  more  stakes  for 
him ;  aad  with  the  sharp  pain  ol  the  game- 
ster, who  prepares  for  the  last  chance,  and 
then  finds  he  has  miscounted,  and  has  not 
means  even  to  try  that,  tho  man  who  had 
bargained  lor  empire,  and  played  with  the 
destinies  of  whole  communities  suddenly 
found  himself  without  a  single  soldier  at 
his  command,  and  a  bunted  f  jgltive  in 
perdof  his  life! 

In  the  little  town  of  Abbeville  .^r. 
Davis  summoned  his  officers  lo  council;  he 
was  determined  to  try  their  resolution,  and 
anxious  to  ascertain  the  spirit  of  their  incn. 
The  only  full  Generals  who  yet  attended 
him  were  Bragg,  his  "ralUtary  adviser," 
and  Breckinri(^e,  lately  Secretary  of  War. 
There  were  nVc  brigade  commanders 
present  at  the  conference.  To  this  small 
but  important  audience  Mr.  Davis  ad- 
dressed himself  with  all  the  powers  of  his 
wonderful  an^  subtile  inlelletl.  The  old, 
imperious  looK  was  yet  in  his  worn  face ; 
tho  eye,  transfixed  witli  neuralgic  pain, 
with  its  deep  reccsa  of  light,  shone 
steady  and  defiant;  the  thin  visage  was 
illumlnated  by  the  active  mind  and 
shone  with  tho  animated  discourse.  He 
spoke  In  the  even,  silvery  tones  of  his  ac- 
customed eloquenee  ;  one  of  tho  greatest 
orators  of  modern  times,  excelling  in  tho 
powers  of  etateimnt  or  narration,  ingenious 
even  to  sopbistrv,  joining  winnng  manner 
to  words  cuUid  from  the  choicest  resources 
of  language,  he  now  tried  all  his  powers 
in  this  critical  opportunity.  Ho  declared 
that  the  country  was  only  euflering  from 
violent  surprises  and  an  exagg«rated  alarm; 
its  resolution  would  soon  be  erect  again  ; 
the  present  condition  was  that  of  panic, 
and  patriotism  would  soon  be  aroused 
when  it  heard  tho  commRnding  and  reas- 
suring tones  of  authority.  He  insisted 
that  the  war  was  not  hopeless.  The  armies 
could  be  re  asH-mbled,  and  there  would  be 
new  calls  for  enlistments  and  new  in- 
centives to  the  countr>''s  service.  He  said 
that  even  the  few  hundred  men  he  yet 
counted  arotmd  him  were  enough  to  pro- 
long the  war  until  the  panic  had  passed 
away,  and  they  would  then  be  a  nucleus 
for  thousands  more.  He  urged  his  officers 
to  accept  his  views,  and  animate  their  men 
to  stand  to  the  good  cause-,  whose  honor 
they  had  so  long  maintained,  and  whose 
last  hopes  they  now  carried  on  their  bay- 
onet* 


His  auditors  were  silent.  At  length 
they  spoke,  one  by  one,  each  brigade  com- 
minder  stating  thu  condition  and  temper 
of  his  men,  and  declaring  hia  views  of  the 
situation.  It  was  a  tjlain,  unanimous 
judgment :  the  war  coulu  not  succeed  and 
should  not  be  prolonged ;  they  could  not 
ask  their  men  lo  struggle  against  a  fate 
which  was  inevitable,  and  forfeit  all  hopes 
of  restoration  to  their  homes  and  friends ; 
but  they  would  insist  that  their  honor  was 
involved  in  securing  the  escape  of  Mr. 
Davis,  and  for  the  accomplishment  of  this 
object  they  would  risk  battle  and  put  off 
submission  to  the  last  moment. 

"  No,  no ! "  exclaimed  the  unhappy  chief, 
iu  passionate  accents.  "  I  will  hear  of  no 
plan  which  has  for  its  object  only  my  safe- 
ty." Then  speaking  slowly  and  bitterly, 
with  a  dee])  and  leariul  change  settling  on 
his  (tjuntenanco,  he  said :  "  All  hope  Is 
gone!  Alas,  that  I  should  see  the  day 
when  all  the  friends  of  the  South  are  pre 
pared  to  consent  lo  her  degradation."  He 
laltored,  and  eat  down  iu  silence;  every 
one  in  the  rfjfin  respected  him  too  much  to 
reply. 

Presently,  without  even  a  gesture  of 
courteous  retirement,  without  any  ac- 
knowledgment of  the  company  whatever, 
he  rosoto  leave  the  room  ;  aud  It  was  ob- 
served that  he  had  lost  his  erect  carriage 
and  defiant  port.  A  v\eiglil  of  yiars  ap- 
peared to  have  suddenly  fallen  on  the 
htrieken  sufferer.  The  eyes  wore  uneasy 
iu  the  pale,  pinched  fice ;  aud  «o  uncer- 
tain aud  tottering  was  his  step  thai  Gen- 
eral BrecUiaridge  moved  to  his  side,  and, 
giving  him  his  arm,  supported  him  from 
the  room.    Not  a  word  was  spoken. 

It  is  a  true  and  delicate  philosopher, 
whf>,  exploring  a  scene  of  despair,  says : 
"  The  sentiment  that  attends  the  sudden 
levelatlon  that  all  j.i  fo«n8  silently  gath- 
ered up  into  the  heart.  Il  is  too  deep  lor 
gestures  or  for  words.  The  voice  perishes, 
thogesturas  aro  frozen,  and  the  spirit  of 
man  flics  back  upon  its  own  centre."

of  .Kew   York. 

I  have  at  kit,  after  several  months'  ex- 
perience, made  up  my  mind  that  il  is  a 
splendid  desert— a  domed  ana  steepled  soli- 
tude, where  the  stranger  is  lonely  in  tho 
niidsl  of  a  million  of  his  race,  A  man 
walks  his  tedious  miles  through  the  same 
interminable  streets  every  dav,  elbowing 
his  way  through  a  buzzing  ruultitudc  of 
men,  yet  never  seeing  a  familiar  luce,  and 
never  sociug  a  strange  one  the  second 
tioie.  He  viMtMi  friend  once— it  is  aday's 
journey— and  then  stays  away  from  that 
iimo  lorwaid  till  that  fiicud  cools  to  a  mere 
acquamtanco  and  fin  illy  to  a  stranger.  So 
there  ia  little  &<.>ciabilii3',  .lud,  consequently 
there  .s  little  cordhillly.  Every  man  seems 
to  feel  that  ho  has  got  the  duties  of  two 
lifetimes  to  perform  in  one,  and  so  ho 
rushes,  rushes,  rusheti,  and  Kever  nas  limo 
to  bo  companionable— never  hus  any  time 
to  fuul  away  on  matlcrs  which  do  not  in- 
volve dollars  and  duty  and  businee.'?. 

All  this  has  a  tendency  to  make  the  ei^y- 
bred  man  impatient  of  interruj^liou,  sus 
picioiis  of  strangers,  aud  fearlul  of  being 
bored,  aud  his  bUbiaess  interfered  with, 
the  natural  resuU  id,  that  the  sinking  want 
of  heartiness  observable  here,  sometimes 
which  is  hardly  even  chilly  politeness 
towards  strangers.  A  large  party  of  Cali- 
forniau'a  were  di£ciiiiing\his  matter  yes 
terday  evening,  aud  one  said  he  didnt  be- 
lieve there  was  any  genuine  fellow-fcelim? 
in  the  camp.  Another  said  ,  "Come,  uowi 
don't  judge  without  a  full  he-aring— try  all 
classe:! :  try  overy  body ;  go  lo  the  Young 
Mens  Christian  Association."  But  the 
first  speaker  said  .  "My  son,  1  havo  been 
lo  the  Youag  Mens  Christian  Association, 
and  It  isn't  any  use ;  it  was  the  same  old 
ihln^— thermometer  at  83  deg.,  which  is 
the  Ireezing  notch  11  I  understand  it.  They 
were  polite  there,  exasperatiagly  pulito, 
just  as  they  are  outside.  One  cf  them 
prayed  for  the  stranger  within  his  gates- 
meaning  me— but  it  was  plain  enough  that 
he  didu't  mean  his  petition  to  bo  taken  in 
earnest.  It  simply  amounted  to  this  that 
he  didu't  know  me,  but  would  recommend 
mo  to  mercy  anyhow,  since  it  was  custom- 
ary, but  didn't  wish  to  be  misunderstood 
as  taking  any  personal  interest  in  the  mat- 
ter. 

Of  courjic  Dial  was  rather  a  strong  exag 
geratiuu,  but  I  thought  it  was  a  pretty  fair 
satire  upon  the  sereuo  indifference  of  the 
New  Yorker  to  every  thing  without  the 
pale  ol  his  priv  itc  and  individuid  circle. 

There  is  something  about  this  ceaseless 
buzz,  and  hurry,  and  bustle,  that  keeps  a 
stranger  in  a  state  of  unholesome  excite- 
ment ail  tha  time,  and  makes  hhn  restless 
and  vmeajy,  and  saps  from  him  all  capacity 
to  enjoy  anything  or  take  a  strong  inierest 
In  auv  matter  whatever — a  something 
which  Impels  him  lo  try  to  do  everything, 
and  yet  permits  him  to  do  nothing.  He  is 
a  boy  In  a  candy  shop— could  choose  quick- 
ly if  there  were  but  one  kind  of  candy, 
but  la  hopelesaly  undetermined  In  the 
midst  of  a  hundred  kinds.  A  stranger  feels 
unsatisfied  hero  a  good  part  of  tho  time. 
He  starts  to  a  library ;  and  changes,  moves 
forward  to  a  theatre^;  changes  agaiu  and 
thiuks  he  will  visit  a  friend ;  goes  within  a 
biscuit-toss  of  a  picture-gallery  a  billiard- 
room,  a  beer-cellar,  and  a  circus,  In  succos 
sion,  and  finally  drifu  home  and  to  bed 
without  having  really  gone  anywhere.  He 
don't  go  aaywhero  because  ho  can't  go 
everywhere,  I  suppose.  This  fidgetty, 
feverish  restlessness  will  driveamancraiy 
after  a  while,  or  kill  him.  It  kills  a  good 
many  doxens  now— by  suicide.  I  have  got 
to  get  out  of  it. 

There  is  one  thing  very  sure— I  can't 
keep  my  temper  in  New  York.  Tte  cars 
aud  carriagoB  always  come  and  get  in  the 
way  just  as  I  want  to  cross  a  street  and  if 
there  is  anything  that  can  make  a  man 
soar  into  flights  of  sublimity  in  the  matter 
of  profanity  It  is  that.  You  know  that 
yourself.  However  I  must  be  acurate— I 
must  speak  the  truth  and  soy  that  there  is 
one  thing  more  annoying.  T;.at  is  to  go 
down  We5t  Tenth  street  hunting  for  tho 
Art  Building,  No.  51.  Yeu  are  tired  and 
your  leet  are  swollen,  and  you  woiddn't 
start  only  you  calculate  that  it  cannot  be 
more  than  two  blocks  away,  aad  ycu  al- 
most feel  a  genuine  desire  lo  go  and  see  the 
pictures  oa  exhibition  without  once  chang- 
ing your  mind.  Very  well.  You  come  to  No. 
7 ;  and  directly  you  come  to  1-12 !  You 
stare  a  minute  and  then  step  back  to  start

A  scientific  writer  In  the  Chicago  Tri- 
bune says  on  this  subject : 

The  discussion  which  lias  been  prc^ress- 
ing  for  a  few  years  past,  havmg  for  its  ob- 
ject the  determination  of  the  sun's  distance 
Irom  the  oarth,  seems  to  bo  in  a  fair  way 
of  approximate  solution.  The  recent  ob- 
servations on  the  parallax  of  the  planet 
Mars,  summarized  by  Professor  New- 
combe,  point  with  singular  unanimity  to 
a  reduction  of  the  mean  distance  as  com- 
monly received,  by  rIkjuI  two  aud  a  half 
millions  of  miles,  or  from  93,000,000  to 
9^,310,000,  a  correction  of  a  little  leas  than 
thre^  per  cent. 

It  needs  but  a  sUght  acquaiutauce  with 
theoretical  astronomy  to  perceive  that  the 
determination  of  this  quanlily  is  of  vast 
con.sequence  to  the  study  of  the  science. 
The  earth's  radius  vetlor  is  ia  reality  the 
incasuring  rod,  which  is  Uken  us  the'  uuit

di-duced  the  distances  of  tho  heavenly  bod- 
ies from  tho  sun,  their  diameters,  the  mag-

which  separates  the  solar  system  frora^thc

in  population  of  large  cities : 

"  In  1865  the  population  of  Paris  was 
calculated  at  1,863,000;  of /^ondon,  at  3,- 
028,000;  of  Vienna  at  560,000:  of  New 
York,  a  year  earlier,  at  1,025,300.  The  an- 
nual ratio  of  incrtase  per  inhabitant,  was, 
in  Paris,  0,002  (in  other  words,  100  inhabi- 
tants became  102  in  the  course  of  the 
year);  in  London,  0,017;  at  Vienna,  0,016,

the  most  densely  populated  town  of  the 
four.  From  these  data  it  appears  that  the 
increase  of  New  York  is  equal  to  that  of 
three  other  cities,  taken  together—  a  cir- 
cumstance owing  of  course  to  the  stream 
of  emigration  constantly  flowing  in  that 
direction.  In  1790  the  population  of  New 
York  was  38,131,  acd  it  has  since  teen  four 
times  doubled.  With  regard  to  the  other 
towns,  Dr.  Vachar  attributes  their  increase 
to  the  tendency  of  the  country  people  to 
migrate  to  tho  largo  centres  of  population, 
for  the  mere  excess  of  births  over  deaths 
cannot  account  for  this  increase.  Paris 
has  doubled  in  the  course  of  82  years,  Lon- 
don in  the  course  of  40,  and  Vienna  in  the 
course  of  44.  Yet  tho  excess  of  births 
over  deaths  in  Paris  was  only  41,984  from 
1838  to  1856,  while  the  increase  of  poula- 
tlon,  during  the  same  period  was  805,908 
In  London,  from  1S41  to  1861,  the  excess 
ol. births  over  deaths  was  821,180;  the  in- 
crease of  population,  on  the  contrary,  was 
926.036.

It  may  seem  strange  that  such 
versily  of  opinion  has  existed  iu 
of  a  quantity  which  is  coufeesodly  tho 
eubject  of  calculation.  But  tho  mystery 
vaaishes  when  wo  consider  the  way  iu 
which  the  results  have  been  arrived  at. 
Tlie  one  quantity  on  which  tho  solution  of 
the  problem  turns  is  the  aaglo  formed  at 
the  sua  by  two  lines,  which  at  tho  earth 
are  subtcndetl  by  her  semi  diameter.  This 
known,  the  rest  is  but  a  simple  question  in 
piano  trigonometry,  the  value  of  the 
eailh's  semi-diameter  being  known  lo  a 
nicety.  The  equation  I3  as  the  hue  of  this 
(the  parallactic)  angle  is  lo  tbe  earth's 
bcml-diameter,  so  is  tlio  cosine  of  the  B.ame 
angle  lo  the  earth's  distance,  or  the  cotan- 
gent of  tho  parallax  multiplied  into  tho 
semi  diameter,  is  equal  to  the  distance. 

The  great  dilflculty  ues  in  the  smallness 
of  the  parallactic  angle.  The  value  said  to 
have  been  deduced  by  Eucke  Is  but  8.5886 
seconds,  aud  that  deduced  by  Newcombe 
from  the  cbservdlious  on  Mars,  is  but  8  85 
seconds;  yet  that  little  dillerence  of  twen- 
ty-eight one-hundred Ihs  of  a  second  of 
space,  a  quantity  so  small  as  to  be  inap- 
preciable by  any  but  tho  best  instruments, 
involves  a  difference  in  the  mean  distance 
of  mure  than  two  and  a  half  millions  of 
miles. 

The  minute  difference  between  these 
two  quantities  will  be  belter  appreciated 
when  it  is  stated  as  a  little  less  than  the 
space  apparently  passed  over  by  a  fixed 
star  la  Ihe  heavens  in  one  fiftieth  part  of 
a  second  of  time,  and  that  tho  whole  par- 
allactic angle  is  but  about  equal  to  that 
described  by  the  same  star  in  one-half 
second  of  time. 

With  this  fact  in  mind,  the  wonder  is 
rather  that  the  distance  can  ever  be 
known  with  greater  accuracy  than  that 
obtained  by  the  old  rule  of  guessing  at  the 
square  root  of  tho  quantity,  and  multiply- 
ing that  number  into  Itselr 

The  problem  is,  however,  solved— po- 
tentially, if  not  actually.  There  is  very 
little  doubt  that  the  concltisions  announced 
by  Professor  Newcomb  are  within  a  small 
fraction  of  the  truth,  and  now  that  the 
eyes  of  astronomers  are  opened,  and  their 
instruments  perfected,  there  is  very  little 
doubt  that  the  approaching  transits  of 
Venus  over  the  solar  disc  in  December  of 
the  years  1874  and  1883  will  be  watched 
with  such  accuracy  that  the  parallax  will 
be  deduced  to  within  two  or  three  thou- 
sandth part  of  a  second  of  space,  giving 
the  diaiance  of  the  earth  from  tho  sun 
true  to  tho  fifth  figure  from  the  decimal 
point,  instead  of  the  eighth,  as  now.

one  case  of  injury  had  occurred.  It  has

J08S  proper  means  are  taken  to  prevent  It. 

Fever  and  ague  aud  bllloua  remlttenta  already

advances  and  the  malarious  night  foga  become 
heavier,  the  sick  list  la  likely  to  Increase  both  In 
hi  the  city  and  tbe  country.  It  la,  therefore,  only 
an  act  of  common  prndence  to  keep  tbo  vital  forces 
in  full  vigor,  so  that  they  may  resist  tho  unhealthy 
influences  of  the  season.  Re-lnforced  by  the  tonic

During  the  monihs  of  Septombci-,  October  and

tbe  BITTEBS  not  only  mvlgorrte  the  stomach  and 
brace  the  nerves,  but  act  speclQcaily  upon  tbe

Au  eiptrienced  sea  captain  says  he 
has  been  at  sea  for  twenty-eight  years,  and 
master  of  a  vessel  for  the  last  ten  years, 
and  during  that  time  he  twice  saved  the 
vessel  under  his  command  by  "oiling  the 
sea."  He  says  :  "When  the  master  of  a 
ship  cannot  get  out  of  a  storm— that  is, 
when  a  ship  is  disabled,  and  he  has  to  take 
the  heft  of  the  gale— if  he  has  oil  on 
board,  start  two  or  three  gallons  over  the 
side  of  the  ship.  This  will  give  the  ship 
smooth  water  to  the  windward,  and  then 
the  oil  allowed  to  nm  drop  by  drop  is  all 
that  is  required ;  for  as  soon  as  the  sea 
comes  in  contact  with  the  oil  it  breaks, 
and  tho  ship  is  in  smooth  water  as  long  as 
the  oU  is  allowed  to  run.  In  1804,  in  the 
heaviest  gale  of  wind  I  ever  saw,  1  lost  all 
my  sails,  ihen  the  rudder,  and  1  know  the 
vessel  could  not  have  ridden  the  sea  for

A  CiRiors  SiusTANCE. — We  saw  vester- 
d.i7  at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  a  curious 
hubatanoe  broujrht  down  by  some  one  from 
the  Siiiik  Valley.  It  rcserables  a  sheet  of 
.  cnrae  felt,  aad'is  said  to  cover  the  giound 
for  miles.  It  appears  to  be  the  residum  of 
the  flood  last  spring,  but  whether  it  i.s  of 
vexet^'j'-  orij^in,  or  what  it  is,  we  cannot 
.«av.  It  has  a  fibrous  appearance,  and  has 
kcl  some  to  suppose  that  it  might  be  useful 
..^  an  article  of  manufacture.  Whether  it 
-^n  be  put  to  any  practical  use  or  not,  re- 
•  '.ains  to  be  seen,  v^onie  of  it  has  been 
sent  to  the  paper  mill  at  t>t.  Anthony,  and 
if  it  .should  turn  out  that  paper  can  be  made 
of  it.  the  supply  is  inexbaustable,  and  u 
will  prove  a  discovery  of  imporianco.  At 
least  we  hope  the  matter  will  be  investiga- 
ted, so  r.s  ta  see  whether  the  substance  has 
any  real  valua  or  not.— Pioneer,  ilk  tnsl. 

Tns  Winona  Democrat  acknowledges  the 
receipt   of    some  apples,    raised    by    Thos. 
I'rell,    about  a  mile  and    a   half    from    that 
city.     The    apples  were  of  -rood    size,    very 
Round  and  of  hue  flavor.     Mr.  Urcll    thinks 
Lo  will   have    on  his    orchard    this   yeai ,  at 
least,  twenty-five  barrel;^  of  fniit,  and  had  it  i 
not  b.-enfor  the  wind  blowing  "if   l''^'  "ppl<^- 
prematurely,    he    believes    he  would    have 
?ftiherod    forty   bairels.     The  Dfmocr.Uca 
timates    the  a'pplo  crop   in    Winona  county 
the   peesent  year  at  not  less  than  six  hun- 
drci  bushels. 

Thk  Jefferson  Hou=!P,  at  Monticello.  was 
turned  on  Sunday  morning  aiiout  three 
o'clock.  It  is  suj.i)Osed  that  the  fire  ongin- 
nted  in  the  sitting  room  and  brforc  it  was 
discovered  had  made  such  progress  that  no 
human  aid  nouM  extinguish  tiio  liames,  and 
in  less  than  half  an  hour  this  sjilendid  hotel 
was  in  ashes.  The  supposed  loss  is  $.>,000, 
insured  in  the  Winiushiek  Company  lur 
S*  000  Notwithstanding  the  loss  is  very

DuowXED.— Mr.  Russell  Parker,  brother 
of  I..  1).  Parker,  was  drowned  in  the  canal 
Yesterday ,uhder  the  following  circumstances: 
He  was  en"aged,  with  a  number  of  others, 
ill  putting"  in  a  rack  a  few  feet  above  the 
bead  gates  of  the  canal,  and  in  getting 
down  from  the  platform  near  Xol)le  &  \A  al- 
ker's  mill,  lost  his  lootiii*  and  fell  into  the 
-waUtr.  The  mills  below  were  ail  in  opera- 
tion, and  the  current  was  very  swift  and 
Btrougat  the  gate,  drawing  him  under  in  an 
instant,  before  he  could  make  an  (.ffort  in 
bis  own  behalf,  or  assistance  could  reach 
him.  He  was  seen  to  rise  but  once  aittr 
passing  the  gate.  The  body  was  found, 
after-  au  hour's  search,  lodged  against  a 
trestle  work  about  two  rods  belou-  the  gate. 
Mr.  Parker  was  in  the  employ  of  his  bro- 
ther, and  had  been  in  the  city  but  ton  days. 
He  leaves  a  wife  and  four  children,  m

CiiEAri:sT  Route  Eastwahd  —Passengers 
for  New  York,  Boston  and  New  England 
cities,  will  be  glad  to  learn  tha-  the  Erie 
Railway  Company  is  yet  issuing  First-Class 
Tickets  to  New  York  at  S2.T0  less  than 
rival  Lines.  The  pre.sent  authorized  rates 
of  the  Company  are:  from  Dunkirk  to  New 
York.  $8.00  ;  DufTalo  to  New  York,  $a.T5  ; 
and  Salamanca  to  New  York,  §7.23.  To 
secure  the  bcnclits  of  these  reduced  rates, 
passengers  should  obtain  tickots  to  Dunkirk, 
I'.ufialo  or  Salamanca,  in.slead  of  purchasing 
through  coupon  tickets  to  New  Vork  ;  and 
when  at  Dunkirk,  Rulfalo  or  Salamanca, 
procure  a  ticket  for  the  remainder  of  their 
journey,  at  the  Erie  Railway  Company's 
unices,  which  are  always  open  on  the  arri- 
val of  the  trains  of  all  Western  and  and 
Southern  Lines.  The  comfort  and  pleasure 
to  be  derived  from  a  trip  in  one  of  those 
lu.xurious  rolling  i)alace3  of  the  Erie  Kail- 
way,  aside  from  the  astonisliiuL'  low  ratos  ol

to  take  this  route  when  going  to  New  \ork 
or  New  England,  in  preference  to  all  others.

Far  restoring    hair   upon    b  aid  head 
(friini  whatever  cauee  it  may   have  fallen 
out)  and  forcing  a  growth  of  hair  upon 
the  face,  it   has  no  equal.     It  will  force 
the  beard   to  grow    upon  tho  smoothest 
face  in  from  five  to  eight  weeks,  or  hair 
upon    bald   heads  in  from   two   to  three

ha  e  a.>sertcd    that  there  is  nothing   that 
will  force  or  hasten  the    growth  of  the

as  th(insand.s  of    living    witno*;es  (from 
their  own  experience)  can    bear  witness. 
But  many  will  say,  how  arc  we  to  distin-

tfe|8lat)le  Sicilian  Hair  Mm] 

Ilfifi  stood  the  test  of  seven  years 
trial  by  the  public  :  and  no  prepa- 
ration for  the  hair  yet  discovered 
will  produce  the  same  bene/icial 
results.  It  is  a  new  scientijic  dis- 
covery, combining  the  most  jwwer- 
fiil  and  restorative  agents  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  If  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  It  mahcs  the  scalp 
white  and  clean;  cures  dandruff 
and  humors,  and  falling  out  of  th« 
haip  ;  and  will  make  it  yrow  upon 
bald  hcatls,  except  in  very  aged 
persons,  as  it  furnishes  the  nutri- 
tive principle  by  which  the  hair 
is  nourished  and  supported.  It 
makes  the  hair  moist,  soft,  and 
fllos'ty.  and  is  unsurpassed  as  a 
HAIR  DRESSING.  It  is  the  cheapest 
preparation  ever  offered  to  the 
public,  as  one  bottle  will  accom- 
plish more  and  Ifist  longer  than 
three  bottles  of  any  other  prepara- 
tion. 

It  is  recommended  and  vsed  by 
the  First  Medical  Authority. 

The  wonderful  results  prod u ceil 
by  our  Sicilian  Hair  Ilencwer 
have  induced  many  to  manufac- 
ture preparations  for  the  Hair, 
under  various  names;  aud  in 
order  to  induce  the  trade  and  the 
public  to  purchase  their  com- 
pounds, thf  y  have  resorted  to  false- 
hoods, by  claiming  they  were 
former  parfuers,  or  had  some  con- 
nection with  our  Mr.  Hall,  and 
their  preparation  was  similar  to 
ones.  Do  not  be  deceived  by  them.' 
Vurchasc  the  original :  it  has 
never  been  equalled.  Onr  Treatise 
on  thr  Hair,  with  cei'tiflcates,  sent 
free  by  mail.  See  that  each  bottle 
has  our  private  Itevenne  Stamp 
over  the  top  of  the  bottle.  All  oth- 
ers are  itnitatious.

SCOTt  COTTNTY  JURIES, 

'  l;e     knownolliiiigisni   of   the    Spectator 
crops    oat    Inst    week  in    an    attack  on  the 
J  iries  of  Scott   County.     The   Spectator  in 
€fr.  ct  alleges  that  for  tlic  last  ten   ycurs  our 
Jurjea  have  almost   without   exception,  con- 
sisted of  the  most   igiiomnt  and  ^jnqr.aliSed 
men  iu    the  county,— men  who  could  neither 
read    or  write  their  own  name?.     A   moaner 
or  more  nnfouu(fcd  slandtrwas  never  uttered. 
"VVe  arc  astonished  that  even  a  knownolhing 
ran  be  so  false  to  truth  and  dc'-oniy.— so  de- 
based as  to  slan<ler  every  man  in  Scott  coun- 
t  ;  lor    during    the  lost    ten   years,    almost 
«^very  man  in   Scott  county  has  been  on  the 
J.uy  li.<t.    15ut    the   fact  is,   the  verdicts  of 
Scot',  county    Juries  have  alwiiy,*  stood  high 
in  the  estimation  of  the  court  and  of  all  lion- 
c  t   people.     Not   one  of  their  vcnlicts  lias 
ever  b<xn  set  aside  on   the  ground  of  h;iviiig 
b  en  jriven  through  bio.',    ignorar.cc  or  fraud. 
Our  Jurie.s  &5  the  law  re(|uir?s,arc  composed

lionest  men,  and  men  of  ability.     Of  course

knownolhing  buzzard.s  that  hover  around  our 
cjmniunity.     Uut    the   ro.il  trouble  with  the 
tij)0'.-tator  Is   that  our   Juries   are  composed 
largely    of  our  foreign   In  rn  citirciis,  instead 
of    native    lorn    m-grocs  and    knowr.oUiing

no  county  is  blessed  with  a  n  or»  indas  rious, 
more  hoJiest,  or  a  more  iutciligent  population 
than  ours.     Nine  tenths  of  the  business  ajcn 
in    this  county    are  funign    born,  and    nine 
tr>nlha   of  the    parties   to   suits  in  court,  aie

For  the  Legislature- 


The  Spectator  wotnan,  in  her  last  issno  of 
wisreproFCiitation,  Feeing  that  death  awaits 
Lor  numerous  fiimlly  of  falsehoods,  attempts 
to  save  her  c.-edit,  by  calling  her  Republican 
Htale  Auditor  a  ''  fool,"  for  haying  instructed 
our  (.'onnty  Auilitor  to  audit  our  bill  for 
publishing  the  tax  li>t.  The  Spectator  say?, 
*■  Xo-A-  wc  do  not  believe  the  State  Au^iitor 
li98  ilonc  ar.ytliing  of  the  kind.  But  if  he 
tias  ordered  any  such  thinp,  he  has  done  a 
very  loolish  iLin^."  The  instructions  of  the 
State  Auditor  arc  o;i  file  with  th«  Connty 
Auditor,   aud   anyone    who    wishes  can  see 

thorn. 

The  Spectator  woman  also  denies  that  ^c 
published  the  tax  list  in  the  same  nninifr 
that  the  asscstments  were  made.  Now 
bring  your  proof,  Mad-ni.  We  ns?i'rt  that 
wc  printed  the  tax  list  just  as  it  was  furnished 
to  U3  by  the  County  Auditor,  and  that  the 
County  Auditor  matlc  it  out  just  as  it  was 
prepared  by  the  Assessors  two  years  r.go — 
just  as  the  descriptions  have  been  niado  by 
iiie  Assessors  for  ten  years.  Tbe  County 
Auditor  Las  not,  aud  has  no  right  to,  separ- 
ate any  tract  of  land  asscscd  by  thcasFessois 
as  one  piece,  into  two  or  n.cre,  iior  ho.s  he 
any  right  to  unite  two  or  more  such  trac's 
into  one  iraet.  Uriiio-  your  proof  or  admit  selK  a  friend  10  tbe  democratic  party  He

— The  South  Side  (Chicago)  Railway  Co. 
have  prohibited  smoking  on  all  ot  their 
cars  on  and  after  the  1st  inst. 

— The  latest  new  word—it  started  in 
New  York— is  "suicided."  Its  friends  say 
it  is  as  good  as  "  collided,"  but  it  isn't. 

— Mr.  George  Catlin,  the  artist  and  In- 
dian traveler,  will  shortly  publish  an  ac 
count  of   hs  adventures    in  the   Rocky 
Mountains  and  the  Andes. 

— Alaska  has  a  better  currency  llian  we

leather  money  predominates  That  is  cer- 
tainly more  v;duable  than  paper. 

— Advice?  from  the  West  say  thirty  thou- 
sand cattle,  from  Texas  and  New  Mexico, 
are  now  collected  at  Abeline,  Kansas,  on

— A  few  nights  since  as  the  passengers

mour, some  graceless  scamp  stole  the  loco-

delayed  until  one  o'clock  in  the  mominp;. 

— The  Hudson  river  has  become  eo  lull

headquarters,  at  ^JTewburg,  which  commu- 
nicated with  the  river  by  an  outlet, 
through  which  they  made  their  way  to  the 
main  stream.  They  have  bred  with  groat 
rapidity,  and  have  stocked  the  river. 

— Mr.  Bonner  is  cow  jftittir.c^  up  a  new 
fire-proof  building  for  the  Nev^  York  Led- 
ger, at  an  e.xpense  of  $216,000.  What  is 
more,  he  can,  at  the  present  succes  of  the 
Ledger,  put  up  such  a  building  every  year. 
Starting  a  journeyman  printer,  he  is  now 
a  millionaire.  From  ten  dollars  a  week  at

thousand  dollars  a  week  the  year  round, 

— Eight  hundred  tons  of  shells  have  re 
rently  been  rcturnocl  to  Washington  to  be 
emptied  and  stored,  and  it  is  said  that  tho 
workmen  have  discovered  that  work  upon 
them  is  not  dangerous,  us  saw-dust  has 
been  substituted  for  powder  in  tho  prepar- 
ation of  these  projectiles.  How  many 
thousands  of  them   similarly   filled    wrr^ 

fired  at  the  rebel  forces  duins '•h«  '>^'>r  ^^ 
is  impossible  to  calculate. 

— The  Now  York  Central  Railroad  Com- 
pany is  preparing  to  uniform  its  employes, 
in  accordance  with  tho  act  of  tho  last  Leg- 
islature. The  conductors  will  wear  coats 
and  panta  of  dark  blue  pilot,  beaver  or 
broadcloth,  the  coat  trimmed  with  brasa 
buttons.  The  c^ip  will  be  of  blue  cloth, 
with  two  bands  of  gold  lace,  the  lower 
hand  to  l)e  an  inch  and  a  half  in  width.

— A  company  has  been  organized  in 
New  York  to  proseaito  the  search  for 
%boat  five  million  dollars  of  British  gold, 
said  to  have  been  sunk  in  the  frigate  llsis- 
sar  duiing  tho  revolution.  Tho  fri^ite 
struck  on  Pot  Kock,  in  tho  Hell  Gate,  on 
tho  2.jth  of  December,  17SU,  carrying  down 
with  her  seventy  American  prisoners,  and, 
as  is  claimed,  tho  above  sum  of  money. 
The  company  is  sanguine  of  succc.ss.  Mr. 
Pratt,  the  President  of  the  company,  has 
l>een  engaged  in  the  search,  on  his  priva'c 
account,  for  seventeen  year?,  and  for  fif- 
teen years  has  been  juat  on  ihn  point  of 
raising  tho  gold,  but  hasn't. 

— A.  A.  Low,  the  aeronaut,  thinks  ho 
has  found  out  a  way  to  manufacture  ice. 
His  procQBS  is  simply  this ;  It  is  a  well- 
known  fact  that  the  process  of  evaporating 
condensed  carbonic  acid  gas  absorbs  au 
immense  amount  of  heat  and  prodmces  a 
corresponding  degree  of  cold.  Quick.sllv«r 
is  speedily  frozen  bv  this  process,  and  the 
thermometer  is  said  to  show  27-5  degrees 
below  zero.  Mr  Low  has  invented  a  ma- 
chine which  is  said  to  make  this  agency 
available  for  the  manufacture  of  ico  or  tho 
production  of  cold,  and  that,  too,  at  a  very 
iittlo  expense.  He  thinks  ho  can  mauufar-  • 
ture  ice  at  three  dollars  a  ton  in  any  part 
of  the  world.  The  machine  is ."o  arranged 
that  it  economizes  tho  material  and  uses 
the  same  gas,  with  veiy  little  waste,  over 
and  over  again. 

Incldeint*    and    Accidents. 

—Chicago  has  lost  over  $983,719  by  tire

—A  verdict  of  $9,000  against  the  Ka'^t- 
em  Railroad  Company,  for  damages  ve 
ceived  in  an  accident  caused  by  the  ineffi- 
ciency of  a  switchman,  has  been  sustained 
by  the  Supreme  Court  of  Massachusetts. 

— ^A  deaf  and  dumb  woman  was  walkini-; 
along  the  railroad  track  at  Galena  ou 
Thtiraday  afternoon,  the  OGth,  when  the 
freight  engine  came  along,  knocked  her 
down  and  ran  over  her.  She  was  con- 
veyed to  a  houso  and  soon  died. 

— Bamnm's  new  gorilla  was  angry  and 
ugly  the  other  day,  and  made  a  savage  at- 
tack on  his  keeper,  who  only  saved  hid 
right  arm  from  being  torn  out  of  its  sock- 
et by  great  presence  of  mind  and  the 
sacrifice  of  hw  coat,  ivhich  was  torn  to 
.  shreds, 
t  — ^A  gentleman  in  Piltsbu;gh,  Pa.^  has 
trained  four  chickens  to  draw  a  small 
wagon  in  which  a  rooster  is  perchec^. 
Thej  come  when  called  by  name,  and 
when  harnessed  rattle  over  the  lawn  at 
great  speed,  while  the  rooster  looks  grave 
and  dignified. 

— An  old  Dutchman  untlfertook  to  wal- 
lop his  son ;  Jake  turned  the  tables  and 
walloped  him.  The  old  man  consoletl 
hhnself  for  his  defeat  by  rejoicing  at  hi.'< 
son's  superior  manhood.  '  He  said : 

"Veil,  Shake  is  a  tam  schmart  (ellow. 
He  can  whip  his  own  taddy  1" 

—In  Chatham,  (Ca.,)  on  Saturday  after- 
noon, Mra  Isaacs  Smith  and  two  children, 
and  Mrs.  Wm.  Baxter,  Jr,  while  driving

thrown  into  a  ditch,  both  children  killed, 
Mrs.  Baxter  fatally  injured,  and  Mrs.  Smith 
seriotiBly. 

— A  "lovelv  girl,"  in  Wisconsin,  recent- 
ly recovered  $1,400  damages  in  a  breach 
of  promise  suit  against  a  perfidious  lover. 
Her   lawyer    congratulated   her   on   the 


amount,  when  she  cxclaimetl,  with  a  fero- 
cious glance  at  the  mulcted  defendant,  and 
nervously  clutching  her  fingers,  "  I'd  give 
every  penny  of  it  just  to  have  one  good 
pull  at  his  hair !" 

— There  is  a  curious  story  in  Houston, 
Texas,  of  an  hidlEjnaut  individual  who 
kicked  the  cover  off  the  coffin  tho  other 
dav,  as  they  were  ou  the  way  to  the  "  dis- 
mal grave."  It  seems  that  ho  was  foolish 
enough  to  suppose  that  ho  wasn't  quite 
dead,  and  honce  the  catastrophe.  Afler 
some  dispute  with  the  pall-bearers  whether 
he  was  in  his  "right  sense  and  mind,"  he 
was  brought  back  and  put  to  bed  with  a 
fair  chance  of  recovery. 

—The  "  fast  trait  of  Yankee  character 
was  touchingly  developed  recently  in  this 
wise  :  A  loving  father  of  a  dutiful  son  died 
in  one  of  our  Western  cities,  and  his  body 
was  brought  East  for  interment.  The  son, 
speaking  of  the  deceased  parent,  remarked  : 
•'  Father  died  at  1 1  o'clock  in  tho  fore- 
noon, I  had  his  bo<ly  embalmed,  funeral 
services  performed  in  tho  hou.se,  and  was 
in  the  cars,  homeward  bound,  before  4  o'- 
clocfe  in  the  afternoon,  with  tho  body  I" 
On  the  whole,  that  was  very  fair  time ! 

—An  investigation  has  been  made  into 
tho  causes  of  tho  lato  Naugatuck  (Conn.) 
Railroad  disaster.  Tho  railroad  company 
intro<iuccd  eleven  witnesses,  and  other 
parlies  fourteen.  Tho  testimony  as  to 
tho  strength  of  the  bridge  was  conflicting.

200,000. 

— Nabl,  the  inventor  of  nitro  glycerine, 
is  manufacturing  it  in  Hamburg.  He  has

greater  portion  is  profit. 

—  The  French  are  the  originators  of  a 
new  mode  of  advertihing.  It  is  proposed 
lo  erect  along  the  boulevards  of  Paris  a 
number  of  lay  figures  upon  which  clothiers 
of  all  kinds  can  display  their  wares  paying 
for  the  privilege  by  the  week. 

—A  Berlin  journal  affirms  Ihat  an  at- 
t^  mpt  was  made  to  assassinate  the  Empor- 
o"  of  Russia  at  Nicolaien,  by  two  men  dis- 
guised in  female  attire,  but  that  they  were 
arrested,  and  tho  matter  was  hushed  up. 
A  short  time  since  there  was  a  rumor  in 
Paris  to  this  cfect,  but,  no  confirmation  ar- 
riving, it  was  credited. 

— 'i'hc  Emperor  Napoleon  is  about  to 
buy  au  estate  for  his  son,  and  is  said  to 
have  selected  the  hisbvic  ground  lying 
between  Bourg  la  Rcinc  and  Secaux,  now 
the  property  of  the  Duke  of  Treviso.  The 
house  on  the  estate  was  built  by  Henry 
iV.,  for  GabncUe  d'Eslrecs.  The  Emperor 
is  said  to  have  oflered  the  Duke  of  Trevieo 
three  millions  for  tho  estate,  but  the  Duko 
demands  four  millions  of  francs. 

Charles  Bandclairc,  one  of  the  French 
litntastic  school  of  poets,  died  at  the  pri- 
vate hospital  in  Paris  a  few  davs  since.  He 
was  a  worshipper  of  Edgar  A.  Poe,  and 
translated  nearly  all  of  Poe's  works  into 
P'rench,".in  which  language  they  were  more 
read  than  they  over  were  in  English.  Bau- 
delaire, like  Poe,  died  a  victim  of  artificial 
excitement.  For  many  years  an  opium 
cater,  the  labt  gllmuior  of  "fine  InteUigcnco 
was  extinguished  long  before  ho  sunk  into 
the  grave. 

— The  carninga  ol  the  Atlantic  Tele- 
graph Cable  during  the  past  year  have 
been  over  a  million  of  dcllars.  Afler 
heavy  deductions,  resulting  from  tho  two 
accidents  to  the  cable  of  1866,  there  re-

count $110,670,  out  of  which  a  dividend  is 
declared  at  tho  rate  of  4  per  cent,  free  of 
incomo  tax,  upon  the  first  8  per  cent  pre- 
ferential stock.  But  for  thcw  accidents  and 
a  charge  for  back  interest,  tho  net  earnings 
would  have  paid  7  per  cent  on  $12,000,000,

— War  between  trndespcoplc  has  been 
inaugurated  in  London.  In  1>«>0  Mr.  Glad- 
stone prevailed  on  Parliament  to  permit 
grocers  to  sell  wine  in  bottles.  The 
liocnscd  victuallers  reocnted  this  piece  of 
legislation  as  an  unjust  interference  with 
their  profirs.  After  gnnnbling  for  more 
than  six  years  they  have  recently  proceeded 
to  retaliate.  Tho  "  Licensed  Victuallers' 
Tea  Association"  advertises  that  "strong 
by  its  connection  with  gentlemen  of  long 
residence  in  China,  and  large  experience 
as  tea-aster.",  it  can  undertake  to  dispense 
with  intermodiate  profits,  and  to  supply 
tea  to  its  customers  at  a  lower  price  than 
the  durchasing  retail  grocers  pay."  It  is 
anounced  that  the  Londoners  are  felicitat- 
ing themselves  on  the  advent  of  a  time  of 
cheap  wires  and  teas. 

—"The  International  Medical  Congress, 
which  has  just  met  at  Paris,  has  decided 
that  cholera  is  not  contagions,  but  is  emi- 
nently infectuous,  likey  ellow  fever,  typhus, 
etc.  It  originates  where  large  numbers  of 
individuals  are  collected  under  bad  hygie- 
nic or  climateric  conditions.  It  is  trans- 
ported aionj^  great  maritime,  fluvial,  or 
land  ways  ot  communication  by  the  trav- 
ellers who  frequent  thorn.  Crowding  is 
the  principal  cause  of  cholera  and  of  al- 
most all  epodcmics,  and  ventcllation  is  the 
best  moans  of  preventing  and  stopping 
pueh  maladies.  To  herd  them  together 
like  beasts  is  to  kill  them  as  a  matter  of 
certainly.  Individuals  in  an  infected  dis- 
trict must  therefore  be  scattered,  and  them- 
selves and  their  clothes  disinfected  as  soon 
as  possible. 

— Mr.Mackic.of  the  Warrington  (Ziig.,) 
Guardian,  who  has  long  been  engaged 
perfecting  type-composing  alid  distributing 
machines,  anounccs  that  he  can  set  a  col- 
umn of  news  (London  Tiirua  size)  fifty 
times  over  at  tho  same  operation,  each  col- 
umn requiring  less  than  an  hour  to  set  and 


distribute.  He  offers  the  use  of  these  col- 
umns at  a  third  of  what  they  can  be  set  at 
in  tho  usual  way,  paying  carriage  both 
ways.  They  are  to  be  set  by  moans  of  his 
combined  composer  and  distributer — a  ma- 
chine soon  to  be  at  work — driven  by  steam 
and  feeding  itself.  This  machine  is  so  con- 
trived that  it  lays  down  the  first  letters  of 
say  fifty  columua  of  type  by  ono  movement, 
then  the  second  lettcis  of  tho  same  fifty, 
and  so  on.  Each  movement  of  the  ma- 
chine in  reality  composes  fifty  types,  which, 
when  in  lines,  are  put  in  their  respective 
places.  The  plan  is  adapted  for  setting 
duplicates  or  triplicate.'',  saving  stereotyp- 
ing. 

— The  new  submarine  cable  proposed  to 
be  laid  from  France  to  the  United  Stales 
will  extend  from  Brest  to  St.  Pierre 
Miquelon,  following  a  plateau  which  has 
b«H.'u  sounded  very  carefully.  From  St. 
Pierre  Mi(iuelon  the  cablcin  order  to  reach 
New  York,  will  follow  tho  English  coast  of 
New  Brunswick  and  the  Amcricjin  litoral 
of  the  States  of  Maine,  New  Hampshire, 
Massac  usetts  and  Connecticut.  At  first 
sight  it  might  appear  desirable  to  carry  a 
line  from  Crest  to  New  York  direct,  but,  to 
achieve  this  object,  it  would  be  necessary 
to  carry  the  cable  across  parts  of  l"io  At- 
lantic which  arc  utterly  unsoundablc.  The 
operation  of  submersion  is  expected  to  be 
commenced  in  Blay,  1868.  The  Portugese 
Government  has  granted  to  Messrs.  Dar 
ley  Rose,  Charles  Cooper  and  Stephenson 
Clarke,  the  concession  of  a  lino  which  is 
th  bo  established  betwecd  Falmouth  and 
Peniche.  The  concession  is  grante<l  for 
ninety-nine  years,  dating  from  1869,  by 
which  date  the  line  is  to  be  established.  A 
telegraph  station  will  be  lormed  at  Lisbon, 
and  will  be  in  communication  willi  that  at

A  Little  Bill  ot'KxpenacM. 

A  writer  In  Spain  has  exhumed  from 
thu  old  records  a  little  bill  of  war  expenses 
rendered  by  the  Spani^'h  General  Gon^-ales 
do  Cordova  to  King  FerdinHn<l,  afler  the 
famous  battle  of  Corigui>la.  The  writer 
says  : 

Tho  "  Great  Captain"  wan  perhaps  not 
much  of  a  book-keeper,  and  thought  the 
kingdom  he  had  just  gained  for  his  sove- 
reign ought  lo  make  up  for  any  slight  in- 
accuracies in  his  "entries."  fjesides,  he, 
like  General  Narvacz,  was  an  Andalusiun. 
and  tho  Andalusiuns  are  regarded  as  the 
Gascons  of  Spain.  Accordingly,  twenty- 
four  hours  afterward,  he  prescnte^l  the 
King  with  tho  following  little  bill,  which 
is  a  singular  contrast  to  the  motlcst  account 
of  his  own  personal  expenditure  handed 
in  by  George  Washington  to  tho  young 
Congress  of  America,  after  the  conejusion 
of  the  struggle  for  independence,  buccoss- 
fuUy  maintained  by  the  British  Colonics 
against  Goorgo  III..  The  famous  "Cuen- 
tasdoGran  Captain"  is  much  celebrated 
in  Spain,  and  may  be  profitably  studied  at 
the  present  moment.    It  runs  as  follows : 

Two  hundred  thousand  scvcji  hundred 
and  thirty  six  ducats  given  to  friars,  nuns, 
and  poor  mendicants,  that  they  might 
pray  for  the  success  of  the  Spanish  arm?. 

One  hundred  million  dur;it.s  apenl  on 
pickaxes,  spades  and  hoes. 

Ten  thousand  ducats  for  perfumed  gloves 
to  preserve  the  troops  from  bad  odors  aris 
ing  from  the  multitude  of  the  enemy  loft 
ilcad  on  the  field. 

Ono  hundred  and  seventy  thousand  du- 
cats lor  renewing  church  bells  destroyed 
in  ringinc:  peals. 

Fifty  thousand  ducat."*  for  brandy  dis- 
tributed to  the  army  on  the  day  of  the 
battle. 

One  million  ducats  for  thanksgiving 
masses. 

Three  million  ducats  for  masses  for  the 
dead. 

Eight  hundred  thoiwand  ducats  for  spies. 

And,  lastly,  one  hundretl  million  ducats 
in  compensation  for  my  patience  in  listen- 
ing to  a  cheese-paring  king,  who  demands 
accounta  from  a  man  who  ban  presentcfl 
him  with  a  kingdom. 

The  Bei)  of  the  Oce.vk.— It  is  stated 
that  soundings  have  been  made  in  the 
North  Atlantic  to  so  great  an  extent  that 
it  is  now  possible  to  map  out  its  be«l  ciuite 
accurately.  This  ocean  is  a  long  trough 
of  varying  depth,  extending,  probably 
from  pole  to  pole.  Its  bed  follows  the  gen- 
eral structure  of  the  land.  Here  anil  there 
rocky  peaks,  like  that  of  Tencrifle,  or  huge 
mountains  of  sand,  such  as  the  grand 
banks  of  Newfoundland,  reach  up  to  or  be- 
yond tho  surface.  Between  Ireland  and 
Newfoundland  there  exists  a  remarkable 
plain,  known  as  the  telegraphic  plateau, 
which  is  evidently  a  continuation  of  the 
great  watershed  which,  betwe<  n  latitudes 
40deg.,  north  and  south,  surrounds  the 
earth,  and  divides  the  waters  flowing  north 
from  those  flowing  south. 


Concerning   7Ian. 

Wonders  at  homo  by  familiarity  cease  to 
excite  astonishment ;  but  thence  it  happens 
that  many  know  but  little  about  tho  "house 
we  live  in"— the  human  body.  We  look 
upon  a  houso  from  tho  outside,  just  as  a 
whole  or  unit,  never  thinking  of  the  many 
rooms,  the  curious  passages,  and  tho  inge- 
nious internal  arrangements  of  tno  house, 
or  of  tho  wonderful  structure  of  tho  man, 
tho  harmony  and  adaptation  of  all  his 
parts. 

In  the  human  skeleton,  about  the  lime  of 
maturity,  are  165  bones. 

The  muscles  are  about  500  in  number. 

The  length  ol  the  alimentary  canal  is 
about  32  feet. 

The  amount  of  blood  ia  an  adult  aver- 
ages  ;50  pounds,  or  full  ono-fiflh  ot  thr  i 
entire  weight.  ; 

The  heart  is  six  inches  iu  length  and  four 
inches  in  diameter,  and  beats  70  times  per  | 
minute,  4,200  times  per  hour,  100,800  times 
per  day,  ^6,772,000  times  per  year,  2,565,- 
440,000  in  three  score  and  ten,  and  at  each 
beat  two  and  a  half  ounces  of  blood  arc 
thrown  out  of  it,  175  ounces  per  minute, 
656  pounds  per  hour,  7/.^.  tons  per  day. 
All  the  blootl  in  tho  body  passes  through 
tho  heart  in  three  minutes.  This  little 
organ,  liy  its  cea.^less  industry, 

In  the  Rlloftcd  ¥i>aii 
The  Pealmi^^t  g«vo  lo  nv\o, 
lifts  the  enormous  weight  ot  :170,700,200 
tons. 

The  lungs  will  contain  about  t)ne  gallon 
of  air,  at  their  usual  degree  of  inflation. 
Wo  brcalhn  on  au  average  1,200  times  per 
hour,  inhale  600  gallons  of  air  or  24,400 
gallons  per  day.  Tho  aggregate  surface  of 
tho  air  cells  ol  the  lungs  exceeds  20,000 
j«|uaro  inches,  an  area  nearly  equal  to  the 
fioor  of  a  room  12  feet  square. 

Tho  a%'erago  weight  of  iho  brain  nf  an 
adult  male  is  three  pounds  and  eight 
ounces  ;  of  a  female,  two  pouuils  and  four 
ounces.  The  nerves  are  all  connected  with 
it,  directly  or  by  the  spinal  marrow. 
These  nerves,  together  with  their  branches 
and  minute  ramifications,  probably  exceed 
10,000,000  in  number,  forming  a  "  Ixxly 
guard  "  outnumbering  by  far  the  greatest 
array  ever  marthaled ! 

The  skm  ia  composed  f)f  three  Inyors,  and 
varies  from  oiio-fourth  lo  one-eighth  (u  au 
inch  in  thickness.  Its  average  area  in  an 
adult  is  estimated  to  be  2.000  .^(luarc  inches. 
Tho  atmospheric  pressure  being  about  11 

Sounds  to  the  sciuarc  inch,  a  person  of  mc- 
ium  size  is  subjected  to  a  pressure  of 
10,000  pounds !    Pretty  light  hug. 

Each  Sfjuare  inch  of  .skin  contains  .'1,.-)<>U 
sweating  tubes,  or  perspiratory  pores,  each 
of  which  may  be  likened  to  a  little  drain- 
tile  one-fourth  of  an  inch  long,  making  an 
aggregate  length  of  tho  cnliro  surface  of 
the  bwly  of  201,206  feet,  or  a  tile  ditch 
almost  forty  miles  long!

.1  correspondent  in  "  Science  Ciossip" 
describes  his  practice  as  follows :  "  When 
botany  was  my  hobby,  I  adopted  a  plan 
for  drying  my  specimens,  which  was  both 
rapid  and  very  cfleclual  in  preserving 
colors.  I  borrowed  a  tin  dripping  pan 
from  the  cook,  which  was  just  the  size  of 
my  sheets  of  blotting  paper.  In  this  I  laid 
the  produce  of  the  day  s  excursion  between 
sheets  of  blotting  paper,  in  the  usual  way, 
and,  when  tho  piio  was  complete,  I  covered 
it  over  with  a  layer  of  common  Kcouring 
sand  half  an  inch  thick,  so  that  the  tin 
dish  appeared  to  be  simply  lull  of  sand.  I 
then  placed  it  on  the  kitchen  fender,  or  on 
the  hob,  or  in  the  oven,  if  it  was  not  too 
hot,  and  in  three  or  four  hoars  the  whole 
batch  of  sDCcimens  were  perfectly  dried. 
It  required  a  little  care  to  take  them  out 
at  the  right  moment,  when  they  were 
baked  just  enough,  and  not  too  much ; 
but  thi.s  care  being  given,  tho  success  of 
the  plain  was  pcrtcct.  Many  tpecimens 
still  m  my  herbarium  bear  witness  to  the 
superiority  of  such  rapid  drying  over  the 
old  method." 


Scalps   and    Cow-latcliors. 

Tho  wliihtle  of  our  locomotives,  sound- 
ing daily  towards  the  sunset,  has  been 
echoed  by  the  war-whoop  of  the  savage ; 
and  after  cenlurios  of  talking,  cheating, 
and  flghling.^e  are  brought  lace  to  face 
with  our  ancient  enemy,  never  so  desperate 
and  dangerous  as  now.  ll  is  useless  to 
discuss  tho  history  of  our  dealings  with 
the  Indians,  for  tho  mere  purpose  of  phi- 
lanthropic declamation  or  recrimination. 
The  question  of  to  day  is  staring  at  us. 
How  shall  we  answer  it  y  Unless  it  be 
permanently  settled,  the  postponement  of 
It  will  only  bring  it  up  again  in  slill  more 
troublesome  form  Once  the  Indians 
fought  us  w^ith  bows  and  arrows  only. 
Now,  they  have  fire-arms  as  well ,  but  our 
repeating  rilles  give  us  a  great  advantage. 
Shall  we  find  them  less  Ibrmidable  il',  ten 
years  from  now,  they  declare  'war  again, 
furnished  'with  weapons  equal  to  otirs '/ 
We  do  not  presume  to  be  wiser  than  oth- 
ers, ^nor  to  know  any  plan  which  will  re- 
lievo us  from  our  present  embarrassment. 
But  we  think  tho  matter  may  bo  simpli- 
fied by  the  plain  statement  of  a  few  points 
which  are  fi.\ed,  beyond  doubt ;  since  many 
suggestions  arc  daily  made,  which  a  mo- 
ments consideration  would  .show  to  be  im- 
practicable. 

1.  The  Pacific  Uoad  must  and  will  be 
finished.  Whatever  may  bt;  tho  wTongsof 
the  Indian,  it  is  not  one  of  his  rights  to  In- 
terfere with  such  a  work  as  this.  The 
nation  is  resolved  ui>ou  it ;  and  philanthro- 
pists, will,  sooner  or  later,  find  reasons 
enough  to  justify  all  measures  which  may 
be  found  necessary  in  the  exct'ution  of  this 
resolution. 

2.  Tho  usual  routes  of  travel  across  the 
plains,  including  the  new  niilway,  must 
and  will  be  protected. 

;j.  Merc  reprisals  upon  tbo  Indians,  as  a 
hostile  foreign  power,  are  not  an  efl'tclivo 
protection.  They  arc  accustomed  to  such 
measures  in  their  own  fciuls,  and  consider 
them  merely  the  mciJents  of  war  When 
wckill  ono  Indian  for  the  crimes  of  anoth- 
er, they  retort  with  the  murder  of  innocent 
wliite  men  ;  and  the  bloody  argument  goes 
on,  without  possibility  of  decision. 

•1.  Extermination  of  tho  hostile  Indians 
is  a  pure  impossibility.  They  number 
about  1,000,000;  and  it  isi  !«aid  that  lied 
Cloud,  the  priiuipAl  chief,  can  bring  into 
tlio  field  ;{0,(X)0  warriors  at  once,  mo.st  of 
them  mounted  and  well-armed.  Before 
wo  talk  of  exterminating  these  tribes,  we 
hacl  better  look  the  figuies  in  tho  face. 
How  many  would  '//<•?/ extermiaate,  before 
the  final  consummalion  '^  What  would  be 
tho  cost  ot  such  a  w*,  at  Ihe  present  rate 
of  extermination,  per  Indian? 

5.  The  projcel  of  gathering  them  into 
new  reservations,  is  a  favorite  with  some. 
But  wo  may  ask  with  Dogberry's  watch- 
man, "  How  it  he  will  not  ?"— and  it  will 
not  do  for  \vi  In  "  let  bim  go,  and  thank 
Uod  wc  are  rid  of  a  knave."  There  is 
scarcely  any  place  lor  the  proposed  reser- 
vations, cxfccpl  in  tho  Indian  Territory; 
and  tho  cost  of  removing  even  willing 
tribes  from  tho  North  Mi.>souri,  would  hr. 
very  great. 

(».  Treaties  seem  to  be  worj>e  than  use- 
less. Tho  Indians  always  break  their 
pledges,  and  wc  never  keep  (»urs.  Indian 
commir.sioncrs  and  agents  spend  their  lime 
in  patching  up  t*lmm  peaces,  and  getting 
up  disputes  with  "  unscrupulou.'^  men,  who 
want  lo  have  mu  Indian  war, "  in  which 
dispulc,  tb(!  unacrupulous  men  wem,  too 
frc(tuenlly,  to  get  lh«'  better  of  the  scru- 
pulous commisHiouers. 

7.  There  certainly  are  persons  who  de- 
sire, Irom  the  most  eordid  motives,  to  re- 
new tho  days  of  army  contracts;  and  who 
systcmHlically  spread  false  reports,  calPu- 
laled  to  precipitate  an  Indian  war.  Be- 
sides thitf,  the  settlers  in  Montana  and 
elscwhen.',  tnUing  the  question  into  their 
own  hands,  wage  indiscriminato  battle 
against  friendly  as  'well  as  hostile  trilies, 
The  Indiiin  who  would  remain  friendly 
at\er  such  treatment  n%  that  mu.'t.  be  a 
Digger. 

Docs  it  not  seem  evident  I  hat  there  is  no 
solution  of  these  difticulties,  under  the  i>ro- 
sent  system  of  treating  the  Indians  as 
foreign  nations  f  This  fiction  of  independ- 
ence must  bo  l?jken  away  from  them,  in 
order  tbat  we  imiy  ftive  them  real  security 
and  liberty.  For  their  sakte,  as  well  a.s 
ours,  Iho  Indiana  must  become  citizens  of 
the  United  States.  The  West  must  be  re- 
•ronstructcd,  like  the  South.  The  protci- 
tion  which  the  Frecdman's  Bureau  has 
given  to  the  negro  must  also  l)e  jirovided 
lor  the  Indian.  The  crimes  oflndias.';  must 
bo  treatf  d  a.<;  (-rimes— not  merely  act.s  of 
war.  Throw  awtiy  tho  glove  ol  tho  In- 
dian Agency,  and  let  the  govcrnmeul  tike 
hold  ot  this  qucUion  with  naked  hand. 
There  will  be  more  conlial  gotxl  faith,  and 
more  stern  power,  in  such  a  grasp.  This 
ought  to  be  our  plan  ;  and  vhatovcr  fight- 
ing we  imisil  do  hliould  be  .sharp  and  c.ir- 
nest,  and  without  an}' l"r»rce  ot  powwows 
and  j)ii'es)  of  peace.  The  protection  of 
travel  shouM  be  our  object  for  the  prcwut. 
Tho  advance  of  the  lailroad  and,  with  it, 
popuhlion  and  industry,  will  make  mat 
tors  much  worse  if  our  present  Rystem  is 
eontinued  ;  much  better,  if  equal  laws  arc 
extended  over  all.  Under  ruch  a  favoring 
infiucnco,  the  cow-catcher  of  progros«<  (to 
u?e  a  new  and  appropriate  figure)  would 
clear  our  track  of  Mormons,  Indians,  and 
all  other  obstriiction^  — AinrrJcmi  Jr><>r;inl,

condudiiic  worda  of  a  Utah  obitnary  notice  are 
very  pathetic :  "  Ho  Imve*  thirteeu  widow*  and  fif- 
ty-fonr  children  to  mourn  his  lost." 


ijl  Ibis  moHl  iK-autifiil,  aclivc  and  gra<  c 
fill  of  all  Iho  furred  denizens  of  our  wof^ls 
and  plains,  Iheic  are  no  low  titan  .sixty 
known  vaiietic.s,  and  the  number  will 
probably  be  increased  when  our  Pacific 
possessions  are  more  tiilly  explored.  To 
tho  sportsman  cast  of  tho  Hot^ky  Jloun 
tains  the  most  interesting  are  the  gray,  the 
fox  and  the  pine  sciuirrel,  called  on  the  tide 
water  of  Maryland  and  Virginia  the  cat 
squirrel.  Tho  gray  f<(U'Tel  frequently 
migrates  in  vast  number.«i,  and  then  i«  very 
destructive  to  tho  corn  crop.  To  sueb  an 
extent  did  their  depredations  reach  in  the 
colony  of  Pennsylvania,  in  the  year  I'-l'J, 
aa  to  excite  the  alarm  of  tho  auth(>ritics, 
and  a  bounty  of  threo  pence  was  oflered 
lor  8«iuiri'cl  Hcalps ;  and  the  colonial  treas- 
ury was  cloplcted  to  the  extent  of  eight 
thousand  pounds,  and  rendered  entirely 
bankrupt,  six  hundred  and  forty  thou.sand 
scalps  having  been  paid  for  ma  Hinglo 
year.  In  view  of  thin  great  fecundity,  it  is 
fortunate  that  the  Equirrel  has  so  many 
enemies,  and  probably  the  least  destructive 
of  them  fvll  is  man.  The  black  snake 
ascends  to  his  nest,  and  at  one  lell  8wrK>p 
de6troy»tt  .r  hole  litter ,  the  rattlesnake,  wc 
are  U)ld,  will  paralyze  poor  bunny  by  ihc 
glitter  of  his  eye,  and  draw^  him  on,  an  un- 
resisting victim  into  the  jaws  of  death. 
But  thoowl  is  his  greatest  and  most  de- 
structive enemy,  aa  towards  the  close  of 
day  he  fiits  on  noiseless  wing  through  the 
darkening  woods  ami  pounces  on  his  un- 
suspecting prey-  Tlie  red-tailed  hawk  is 
another  of  his  foes,  but  he  in  an  open  ene- 
my, and  wages  war  magnanimously.

It  is  related  that  Rufus  Choate,  having 
answered  an  invitation  from  a  young  men's 
association  in  an  Eastern  city  to  lecture 
before  them,  tho  committee  were  actually 
at  a  loss  to  make  out  whether  tho  letter 
was  an  acceptance  or  a  refu.9al.  Afler 
much  discussion  over  this  dilemma,  it  was 
dcLcrmitKd  to  light  the  hall  and  proceed 
on  the  suppoiiitftm  of  an  acceptance.  For- 
tunately, Choato's  presence  on  time  proved 
that  they  had  guessed  correctly.  The 
handwriting  of  the  late  Rev.  Dr.  Belbune, 
also,  though  remarkable  for  its  neatness 
and  uniformity,  was  nevertheless  so  pccu 
liar  as  to  bo  very  difficult  to  read  by  one 
who  was  not  fkmlliar  with  it.  A  lady  who 
had  lo8.  a  fiavoritc  child  once  remarked 
that  she  had  rectlved  "  a  sweet  letter  of 
condolence  from  the  doctor,"  adding  the 
naive  confession,  "  I  hwto  it  must  be  beau- 
tiful, but  1  cannot  read  a  word  of  it."

Did  It  occur  lo  the  companv  which  pro- 
poses to  run  a  regular  line  of  steamers  up 
the  Amazon  from  Para,  for  a  distance  of 
2,500  miles  from  Its  mouth,  that  it  will  be 
able  to  transport  passengers  direct  into 
the  inland  vallev  ot  Jauja,  where  the  con- 
sumptive will  obtain  restoration  ol  health 
aiid  a  cure  of  a  too  generally  incurable 
disease ':  The  voyage,  though  long,  may 
be  made  almost  without  changing  vessels, 
and  will  be  found  neither  tedious  nor  de- 
bilitating. It  will  introduce  travelers  into 
some  of  the  most  magnificent  scenery  in 
tho  world.  It  has  been  known  to  the  na- 
tives from  time  immemorial,  that  a  remov- 
al of  consumptive  patients,  even  in  tho 
stage  of  well-marked  ulceration  and  cavi- 
ties in  the  lungs,  to  tho  valley  of  Juaja,  at 
a  height  ol  ten  thousand  feel  above  the 
sea,  was  followed  by  an  almost  invariable 
suspcn.sion  of  tho  disease.  This  fact  is 
corroborated  by  the  experience  of  the 
physicians  of  Peru  at  the  present  time. 
From  the  statistics  of  Lima,  published  in 
1S5H,  it  appears  that  nearly  eighty  per 
cent,  of  the  cases  of  consumption  sent  to 
tho  Jauja  valley  arc  cured. 

So  forcibly  has  this  fact  been  bnnight 
before  the  Peruvian  Government  that  it 
has  established    in    Ihw  valley  a  militai-y 
hospital  for  consumptive  patients,  and  cs 
pccially  for  native  Indian  soldiers,  who,  in 
the  capital  (Lima),  are  singularly  prone  to 
phthi.si.-J.    Of  tho  whole  annual  mortality 
of  that  city,  no  less  than  nearly  twenty- 
lour  per  cent,  is  attributed  to  consumption. 
On  the  sea  coast  of  Peru,  as  cm  that  of  the 
Gulf  of  Mexico,  incipient  tubercular  con- 
sumption   is  one  of  the   commonest   of 
pulmonary  diseases.    A  share  of  the  cur- 
ative   power  of  Jauja  valley  may  bo  at- 
tributed to  tho  influence  exerted  on  tho 
mind  and  nervous  system  generally  by  iUs 
scenery  and  a.ssocialions ;  but,  after  mak- 
ing all  allowances  for  these  CJiuscs,  the  rc- 
.sults,  as   reported,  are   truly   wonderful. 
Rain  of  four  months  in  tho  year  makes  up 
for  the  dry  season  of  eight  months  in  tho 
year,  and  serves  to  fertilize  the  land  and 
yields  tho  happy  inhabitants  more  food 
than  they  require.     An  influx  of  German, 
English  and  American  visitors  and  settlers 
would  drive  those  people  to  do  something 
more  than  give  up  the  eight  dry  months 
to  amuseioents  and  feasting.—  Philarldphia

The  Viiliiircni  in  the  llitnalaya«. 

Dr.  Andrew  Leilh  Adams,  iu  Iris  '^Wan- 
dcnngs  of  a  Naturalist  in  India,"  writes  as 
follows  of  the  vultures  and  other  rapacious 
birds  in  tho  Himalayas  ; 

Amid  all  the  grandeur  of  the  Himalayas 
it  is  a  most  attractive  sight  to  the  natural 
if.t  lo  behold  the  vultures  and  other  rapa- 
cious birds  Bt)aring  over  the  vast  ravines 
and  around  tho  tojta  of  tho  migtity  moun- 
tains. Let  him  chose  a  summer  evening, 
with  that  clear  sky  almost  characteristic  ot 
the  Himalayas,  and  just  as  the  sun  casts 
his  last  rays  on  the  snow-clad  mountains — 
when  the  quiet  i.^  only  broken  by  the  cry 
of  the  eagle,  tho  bleal  of  the  goal,  or  tho 
shrill  pipo  of  the  partridge— then  tho  vul- 
tures, kites  and  jackdaws  may  bo  seen 
wheeling  in  vast  circlea ;  some  are  gliding 
along,  apparently  without  an  effort ;  others 
appetir  suspended  motionless  in  the  vast 
canopy  of  heaven  ;  while,  careering  in  his 
majesty,  the  lammcrgcyer  gathers  up  his 
great  wings  and  9woop.s  downward,  may- 
hap lo  rifo  again  and  join  the  medley  he 
has  ju-st  left,  or  stretching  forth  his  pin- 
ions lo  their  fullest  extent,  he  sails  along 
the  mountain  brow  to  the  piojecting  cliil 
on  which  his  cyrio  stands  safe,  for  there 
who  dare  assail  him ! 

After  a  bear  or  other  large  animal  is 
killed,  the  hunter  soon  flnds  himself  sur- 
rounded by  rapacious  birds,  where  none 
were  seen  before  ;  they  are  observed  dash- 
ing down  the  glenr*,  and  sailing  in  circles 
around  his  (iu>irry.  Some  sweep  within  a 
few  yard,!  of  Inm,  others  arc  soaring  at 
higher  elevations,  and  even  at  such  vast 
altitudes  Ihat  the  huge  bearded  vulture 
appears  only  as  a  Binali  .speck  in  the  blue 
sky,  but  gradually  it  become  more  distinct 
asits  witfe  gj'rations  increase. 

It  may  gather  itself  up  and  close  its 
wings,  or  dash  in  ono  fell  swoop  hundreds 
of  feel,  and  the  next  instant  is  seen 
pcrch'^^d  ou  the  jutting  rock  beside  him. 
Such,  then,  are  tiio  usual  appearances  ob- 
served soon  afler  the  death  of  h  large  ani- 
mal, and  tho  hunter  wonders  whence  all 
these  great  vultures  and  carrion-crows 
have  come  ;  but  if,  immediately  alter  his 
noblo  ibex  has  rolled  down  the  crag,  ho 
directs  his  eyes  heavenward,  he  will  ob- 
serve carrion  crows  or  vultures,  at  various 
distances  and  elevations,  sailing  leisurely 
about,  while  the  one  nearest  to  him,  ob- 
serving tho  death  of  his  quarry,  instantly 
commences  to  descend  ;  then  ono  follows 
tho  other  until  tho  valley  resounds  with 
tho  hoarse  croaking  of  the  crows,  and  tho 
air  feels  alive  with  them.  Il  is  surprising 
the  numbers  that  arc  sometimes  observed 
lo  congregate  on  Ihc.sc  occasions ;  1  have 
pocn  no  less  than  sixty  vultures  and  crows 
on  and  around  the  carca.sg  of  a  newly- 
kill'd  benr.

iTIarrlage  on  the  Cars. 

'1  Jic  monottmy  of  railroad  traveling  was 
Komowhat  relieved  to  thoKo  on  board  a 
Grand  Trunk  train  bound  east  onMonday- 
by  a  romantic  episode,  namely  a  wedding 
on  tho  cars!  The  lueliminary  circum- 
slanccs  are  similar  to  those  of  thou.^ands 
of  other  matrimonial  adventures,  in  which 
stern  and  unrelenting  parents  forbid  the 
nuptials,  and  so  drive  the  lovc-strickeu 
pair  to  the  necessity  of  eloping.  Tho  par- 
ties to  the  j>re.^ent  allair  lesiflo  about  four 
miles  back  ol  Colboruc,  a  small  fetation  on 
the  Grand  Trunk,|between  Port  Hope  and 
King.ston,  and  to  which  place  the  runaway 
pair  made  their  way  on  Sunday  night  with 
the  intention  of  being  marrial.  The  mar- 
riage license  was,  however,  only  received, 
when  they  were  informed  that  the  parents 
were  in  pursuit ;  and  being  pushci  for  a 
resource  lo  escape,  until  the  nuptual  knot 
was  tied,  went  on  board  the  passing  train, 
taking  up  a  clorgj-man  on  the  way,  who 
being  aware  of  a  strong  attachment  on  the 
part  of  the  pair,  sealed  their  bliss.  The 
station  was  barely  left,  when  Mr.  Hunt, 
<onductor  on  the  train  was  informed  by 
the  man  of  black  cloth  that  it  was  his  in- 
tention to  celebrate  a  marriage  on  ]>oard, 
and  pointing  to  the  couple  lobe  made  one, 
asked  his  assistance  in  obtaining  lor  them 
quarters  together  on  tho  crowded  train. 
The  gentlemanly  conductor  acquiesced, 
and  tho  ceremony  was  performed  while 
the  train  dashed  along  at  the  rale  of  forty 
rniles  an  hour,  tho  pa&sengcrs  forming  a 
bridal  party  oi  no  small  dimensions  and 
certainly  novel  appearance !  In  a  short 
time  the  train  reached  Belleville,  where 
the  happy  couple  Ictl  unid  the  hcarly  con- 
gratulations of  their  numerous  newly  made 
acquaintances. 

Gen.  Steblino  Pnics's  life  was  insured

If^h at  Breaks  DownTouuBrlfiren. 


It  is  a  commonly  received  notion  that 
liard  study  is  the  unhealthy  element  of 
college  life.  But  from  tables  of  the  mor- 
tality of  Harvard  University,  collected  by 
Professor  Pierce  from  the  last  triennial 
catalogue,  it  is  clearly  demonstrated  that 
the  excess  of  deaths  lor  the  first  ten  years 
after  graduation  is  found  In  that  portion  of 
each  class  inferior  in  scholarship.  Every 
one  who  haa  been  through  the  curriculum 
knows  that  where  .Esctiuylus  and  political 
economy  injure  one,  late  hours  snd  rum 
punches  use  upVi  dozen  ;  and  that  the  two 
little  fingers  of  Morpheus  are  heavier  than 
the  loins  of  Euclid.  Dissapation  is  a  swifX 
and  sure  destroyer,  and  every  young  man 
who  follows  it  is  as  tho  early  flower  ex- 

Kosed  to  untimely  frost.  Those  v;ho  have 
eon  inveigled  in  the  path  of  vice  a'-c 
named  "  Legion,"  for  they  are  many — 
enough  to  convince  every  novitiate  that 
ho  has  no  security  that  be  shall  escape  a 
similar  fate.  A  low  hours  of  sleep  each 
night,  high  living  and  plenty  of  "s.uashes" 
make  war  upon  every  function  of  the  hu- 
man body.  The  brains,  the  heart,  the 
lungs,  the  liver,  tho  spine,  tho  limbs,  the 
bones,  tho  flesh— every  part  and  faculty —

i»cB»Ity  or  Population. 

Even  iu  our  most  populous  cities  much 
more  space  is  allotted  to  each  individual 
than  is  ordinarily  believed.  Over-crowded 
London  allows  one  square  acre  of  land  to 
every  forty  of  its  inhabitants.  New  York 
averages  fifty-six  persons  per  square  acre, 
Philadelphia  only  seven.  Boston,  previous 
to  its  lalo  enlargement,  was  the  most 
crowded  city  in  the  United  States,  but 
every  fitly-ninc  of  its  inhabitants  possessed 
on  an  average  one  square  acre  of  land. 
Taking  the  area  of  ali  the  Stales,  and  ap- 
portioning it  out  to  tho  population  there- 
of, it  api>cars  that  every  seventeen  inhabi- 
tants have  one  square  mile  at  their  dispo- 
sal, while  in  the  Territories  there  are  four 
square  miles  to  each  inhabitant.  In  the 
year  186r»,  Belgium,  England  and  Wales, 
and  France,  had  three  hundred  and  ninety- 
seven,  threw  hundred  and  sixty-seven,  and 
one  hundred  and  scvonty-six  inhabitants 
the  square  mile  respectively.  If  the  Uni- 
Ictl  States  Wfis  as  densely  populated  as  the 
former  of  these  three  countries,  its  inhabi- 
tants would  number  $1,100,000,000,  which 
is  a  Iittlo  cliflcrencc  ol  one  hundred  and 
eleven  millions  of  people  above  the  entire 
population  of  tho  world.

The  iMrEccNioaiTT  ok  Scribbleiih.- A 
New  York  Bohemian  writes  to  a  Western  paper : 
"By  way  of  contrast  lietween  the  non-success  of 
Journalism  as  a  profession,  and  the  prosperity  at 
tending  any  other  Ciilling,  let  me  mention  the  fact 
that  an  old  man  and  woman  who  have  for  years 
sold  apples  and  nut*  on  Spruce  street,  under  th« 
shadow  of  tho  Tribnnf  building,  are  to-day  worth

that  journal,  unless  a  stockholder,  haa  much  more 
than  enough  to  bury  him  decently.  The  truth  is, 
there  is  no  other  vocation  under  the  sun  so  poorly 
paid,  and  so  entirely  tbougntless,  as  that  to  which 
wo  of  the  daily  quill-dnvlng  brotherhood  so  for- 
lornly belong.'*^ 


StutKXiFic. — A  French  savan  has  lik-

to  the  creature's  brain  :  '  Harpoon  in  tail ;'  upon 
which  the  brain  telegrapha  back,  '  Jerk  Uil  and

*'Do  you 

Helen?" 

The  lady  to  whom  this  uiicslion  was  aa- 
dressed  had  just  sftunlered  back  from  the 
front  door,  to  which  she  ha<l  gone  to  take 
leave  of  a  pncst,  and  she  seemed  slightly 
gtartied  perhaps  embarrassed,  but  her  an 
gwer  was  to  the  point,  "  No,  aunt ;  I  have 
no  idea  that  1  nhill  •■vcr  be  tlie  wife  ot 
John  Burtield." 

•'  But  I  think  the  young  man  loves  y.iu, 
continui:d  the  elder  Itidy.  . 

There  was  no  answer,  at  least  with  wortB. 
Helen  Alien  stood  by  tiic  tabic  twirling  a 
small  pair  of  scissors ;  iicr  aunt  jlookcd  up 
irom  her  ECwinK  to  her  noice'a  face,  aiid 
read  an  answer  there— not  an  entirely 
pleased  or  triumphant  one ;  there  was  a 
little  uneasiness  niixe'l  with  it. 

"  You  think  just  <is  I  do,  Helen,"  said  i 
her  aunt. 

"  Well,  aunt,  I  will  n>'  deny  it,    she  re 
]»lied,  rt:ttiriiinf?  her  aunfa  gaz-j  wiih  a  lit- 
tle smile,  wlach  wa^.  «>n  the  whole,  a  trank 
and  sle.i'Jy  one. 

•'  And  1  believe  that  this  youn?  man  ex- 
pects—at  the  least,  hopes— yon  will  br  his 
wife,"  said  the  elder  lady.  . 

"  No,  aunt,  ho  does  not— at  lea:  I,  it  is 
not  my  fault  if  he  dpes,  for  1  have  told  him 
ylainlv  that,  though  1  value  him  very  lugh- 
ly  as  a  friend,  I  hMVo  no  fe«liue;  for  him 
that  would  warrant  a  nearer  relationship. 
•'  But  you  Hlill  encourage  his  addresses?" 
nald  her  aunt, 

"  No,  Hunt,  he  ouly  viiits  mc  as  a  tiund, 
knowin:;    pcrfef:tly  my    feeling  towards 

him." 

Mrs.  Stanley  laid  down  iter  sewing,  and 
surveyed  her  pcice  wiih  an  intense,  half- 
mournful  expiession. 

"  Helen,  do  you  tell  nie  that  you  arc  ful- 
ly convinced  that  Mr.  Burtield  cherishes 
no  hope— iii>  fmcy— lliat  you  will  ever  bo 

his  wife?"  ,  , 

The  scixior^  tl.'ished   jafddly  around  thp 

dainty  fiagcrs.  .  ,    ,  , 

"  Ye  ej,  aunt  -at  least,  as  J  said,  I  Lave

mine,  Jf  ho  d<>o>,  ii->l  Uiiderr,tand  Uiat  I  Tf

The  elder  hvly  shook  her  head. 
"  And  I  s.-^v,  my  dear   Ilelen,  thai,  as  a 
friend,  you  ought  not  now  to  receive  his 
visits  i  at  least,  not  to  accept  his  attentions." 
Helen  Allen  star) el,  and  her  fair  face 
fio^ied  a  little. 

"  Wliat,  not  vvhen  we  pertectly  under- 
stand each  other  ?" 

"  If  1  comprehend  your  reply,  Mr.  Lur- 
fleld  has  ])roposed  to  you?"  eaid  Mrs.  Stan- 
ley, avoiding  a  direct  reply  to  her  neicc. 
"  Yes,"  she  replied. 

"And  you  have  refused  him  ?"  observed 
her  aunt. 
"  Yes,"  was  the  reply. 
"  Y'ou  think  him,  howovoi,  au  estimable 
young  man— one  whom  it  would  be  wrong 
in  anywise  to  tritlc  with  ?"  said  Mrs.  Stan- 
ley. 

•'  Most  certainly  I  (.o.aunt.  Johu  Bur 
field  is  a  good,  a  uobU;  fellow;  honorablo 
and  generous- heal  ted;  intelligent  and 
agreeable,  too,  as  you  have  seen.  I  do  not 
love  him ;  ho  does  not  realise  my  ideal  <tf 
the  man  I  could  marry  ;  but  I  esteem  him 
vcrv  much." 

"'Well,  then,  Helen,  I  have  ouly  to  re 
peat  my  remark— you  have  no  right  to 
receive  his  attentions,  because  it  is  doing 
him  a  wrong." 
"I    don't    rcc    how,    aunt,     observed 

Helen.  ,.      .    ^. 

•'  Because  it  is  (miy  keeping  alive  m  nis 
heart  a  hope  which  can  never  be  realised," 
said  her  aunt.  "  You  know,  I  know,  every- 
body who  had  IheJ  slightest  penetration, 
and  saw  you  tosether  for  half  an  hour, 
would  perceive  that  this  young  man  was 
enamoured  of  you  ;  and  it  is  wrong  to  in- 
dulge him  with  vonr  s^)ciety  when  it  only 
stimulates   an  aiVe-jlion    which,   by  your 
own  showing,  vo>i  cannot  reciprocate      It 
is  only  weaving   about    his   hi  art  those 
chains  which  may  cost  him,  you  know  not 
how   much    of  8urt'ering   and    agony  to 


hearts  are  Hot  80  easily  ^JToken  or  tht^r 
lives  blighted  as  you  imagine." 

"But  they  are  sometimes,  said  Mrs. 
Stanley  ;  "  and  it  is  very  shallow  logic  to 
excuse  one's  own  faults  because  of  other 
people's."  ,  ,  .V  .  T 

"  I  know  it,  aunt,  and  I  am  sorry  that  i 
accepted  Mr.  Burfield's  Invitation  to  ride 
out  with  him  this  afternoon." 

"  Let  it  be  the  last  time,  Helen  \o\x 
owe  it  to  yourself  and  to  him  to  make  this 
separation  entire."  ,       x  u     »„ 

"  But  I  should  not  like  to  lose.  John  as 
a  friend,  aunt,"  said  Helen.  "  I  like  his 
society,  and  its  dreadful  didl  here  some- 

^''^Tam  sorry,"  said  Mrs.  Stanley ;  "but  I 
should  not  be  a  very  desirable  aunt  were 
I  to  counsel  my  niece  to  do  wrong  because 
it  was  plcasanter."  •«  u„ 

it  was  a  smile,  sweet  and  touchmg  m  Its 
solicitous  tenderness,  which  was  nowllttea 
to  the  face  of  Helen  Allen.  She  was  very 
fon.;  of  her  aunt,  generous  and  »mp"lfiive 
withal,  and  she  sprang  forward  and  threw 
her  small  white  arms  about  the  lady  s  neck, 
exclaiming,  "Well,  aunt,  your  niece  would 
be  a  very  unworthy  one.  if,  with  such  a 
counsellor,  she  did  n<.t  do  what  was  right ; 

*"At^liiat'  moment  Dr.  Allen,  Helen's 
father,  entered  the  room  to  tell  his  sister 
and  daughter  that  the  roses  for  which  they 
liad  bet'u  watching  for  several  days  had 
opened  after  the  last  night  a  rain ;  the 
ladies  hurried  out  to  see  the  blossoms,  ana 
the  subject  of  their  last  half  hour's  conver- 
sation was  dismisecd. 

Helen  Allen  was  an  intelligent  and  un- 
usually interesting  girl,  in  her  twenly- 
tomth  year.  If  she  had  not  positive 
beauty,  she  had  grace  and  expression, 
which  were  far  more  attractive.  Her  fiice 
was  a  bright,  sweet  one,  and  her  conversa- 
tional p6v.'ers,  her  natural  sprightliness 
and  adaptation  made  her  a  singular  favor- 
ite with  gentlemen. 

She  vas  aware  of  all  this,  but  the  knowl- 
edge had  not  spoiled  her.    Heart,  con- 
science,    principles-all    these   she    pos- 
sessed ;    but  she  had  a  great  sense  of  ap- 
and   was   too  fond  ol  admira- 


probation,  •< 

'Ticlcn  was  an  only  child  ;  lor  ten  years 
her  father  hatl  been  a  widower,  and  he 
never  saw  a  fault  in  her,  and  indulged  her 
lightest  whim.  No  one  can  be  surrounded 
constantly  with  an  atmosphere  of  admira- 
tion anil  ilatlcry  without  some  moral  ener- 
vation following,  as  the  necessary  result, 
and  Helen  Allen  had  not  escaped  the  in- 
tluonces  of  such  a  nurture.  .     .  , . 

btill  her  instincts  for  truth  and  right 
were  very  strong,  and  her  father's  sister, 
who  exchanged  a  visit  with  her  every 
year,  exerted  a  most  healthful  influence 
over  the  opening  years  of  her  niece  s  life. 

Mr^  Stanley,  left  childless  and  a  widow, 
was  a  noble  Christian  woman— a  woman 
who  in  daily  Idc  strove  to  realise  her 
hi"'hc3t  ideals;  one  whose  nature  sorrow 
had  exalted  and  clarified.  She  had  passed 
the  meridian  of  her  life,  but  even  in  old 
ago  she  possessed  the  fresh  Uowmg  sym- 
pathies of  her  youth. 

Mrs  Stanley  had  never  met  the  young 
merchant,  John  Burfleld,  until  that  morn- 
ing; for  though  he  had  been  lor  two  years 
a  visitor  at  her  brother's,  it  happened  that 
he  was  absent  from  home  when  the  lady 
was  with  her  niece  the  previous  year. 

He  was  a  young  man  of  most  pleasing 
address,  a  favorite  with  all  who  knew  h  m ; 
generous,  confiding,  Avilh  deoo  and  cndur 
ing  afTcclions.  . 

It  never  entered  the  heart  or  mind  ol 
Helen  Allen  that  she  was  in  anywise  re- 
anoufible  because  these  aflections  had  been 
lavished  on  her.  She  was  just  the  stvle  of 
woman  to  suit  John  Burfleld,  and  she 
could  not  help  being  pleased  with  his 
society 

Still,  she  always  felt  a  lack  of  strength 

and-torce  in  his  character,  which  excluded 

any  deep   regard  on  her  part,  for  Helen 

was  one  of  those  women  whose  heart  de- 

Ihese    in    the  man  she  should 


manded 
marry 
Her 


husband  must,  to  her  Imagination, 


yon,  tWnkiiq?  probably  it  would  gratify 
vou  •  so  I  accepted  the  invitaUon,  and 
here'  I  am.  Wtat  makes  you  look  so 
sober,  Helen  r"  ,  „ 

"Nothing  that  I  can  tell  you,  Isabel, 
she  replied.    "Somehow  I  don^t  care  about 
taking  this  ride."  ,  ^    .    .    , 

"Don't   like   taking    it!"  said    Isabel 
"  What  will  Mr.  Burfleld  say  ?    You  will 
break  his  heart."  , 

"Don't  say  that,  Isabel!  Mr.  Burfleld 
and  I  are  only  friends;"  and  the  look  of 
seriousness  deepened  into  pain. 

"  Well,  all  I've  got  to  say,  Helen,  is,  that 
it  is  not  John  Burfield's  fault  if  he  is  only 
your  friend,"  said  Isabel,  watching  Helen 
narrowly,  as  she  arranged  her  thtck  brown 
plaits  of  hair.  ...  ,   , 

To  Helen  Allen's  honor  be  it  recorded 
that  she  preserved  inviolate  the  secret  ot 
John  Burfield's  aflection  for  her,  and  that 
her  friend  had  only  suspcctea  it  frr)m  the 
young  man's  manner. 

"  Well,  granting  what  you  say  is  true, 
Isabel,  it  is  not  right  to  encourage  his  at- 
tentions," said  Helen,  speakmg  more  to 
herself  than  to  her  auditor. 

"  Yes.  it  is  right  enough  to  receive  him. 
If  he  knows  your  real  feelings  towards  him, 
vou  absurd  little  puss !"  said  Isabel.  "  A 
woman  may  make  a  friend  of  her  lover 
without  doing  any  harm  I'm  sure. ' 

"  But  may  i)e  it  is  doing  wrong  to  hmi— 
wrong  if  in  anywise  he  indulges  a  hope 
which  must  end  in  bitterness  and  disap 
pointment  ?" 

Helen's  tones  placed  an  interrogation  at 
the  end  of  her  sentence. 

"  Nonsense  !"  exclaimed  her  guest,  with 
her  light.  «iuick,  heartless  laugh.  "\ou 
are  so  squeamish,  Helen.  Men,B  hearts 
are  tougher  than  you  suspect,  and  they  11 
bear  a  little  pressure  just  like  India-rubber. 
Rest  assured  that  your  lovers  will  not  shoot 
or  drown  themselves,  because  you  refuse 
them ;  and  the  best  way  generally  is  to 
smooth  the  denial  as  much  as  possible,  and 
keep  it  out  of  sight  in  general.  You  don  t 
know  much  about  men,  Helen." 

These  words  sank  into  the  young  girl  s 
heart,  and  Helen  Allen  asked  herself  if,  af- 
ter all,  her  friend's  eentimcnts  were  not 
very  near  the  truth.  r   t     i     . 

Of  course  her  aunt  wa.<»  one  of  the  best 
and  noblest  of  women- everybody  knew 
that ;  but  then,  her  ideas  of  life  and  con- 
duct were  all  so  refined  and  exalted  that  it 
was  almost  impossible  to  carry  them  out  in 
every  day  practical  life. 

She  wasn't  going  to  disturb  herself  any 
more  about  the  matter.  John  Burfield 
knew  his  position  with  regard  to  her,  and 
if  he  chose  to  visit  her  it  was  his  own  fault. 
Men's  hearts  were  not  so  easily  broken  at 
ter  all. 

Helen  Allen's  thoughts  ran  on  after  this 
fashion  as  she  arranged  her  shawl  and  hat 
before  the  glass,  for  her  friend  had  excused 
herself,  and  had  gone  down  stairs  to  enter- 
tain the  young  merchant  until  Helen  pre- 
sented herself.  ,      ,  ,  „ 

The  two  girls  had  been  school-fellows  , 
and  the  intimacy  commenced  when  they 
were  children,  had  never  been  suspended. 
Isabel  Eyre  was  a  brilliant,  dashing  ^irl. 
with  no  high  ideals  of  standards  of  hfe; 
thoroughly  worldly  in  all  her  pursuits  and 
aims.  She  was  accomplished  after  the 
fashionable  standard ;  she  had  grace,  wit, 
and  tact,  but  of  heart  or  high  principles 
very  little. 

Helen  Allen  was  vastly  her  superior  in 
all  the  moral  ranpe  of  feeling  and  pur- 
pose; but  the  influenc-  of  a  companion 
like  Isabel  Eyre  over  a  young,  impressible 
nature  could  be  only  iuiurious,  (H|-Hicially 
when  its  whole  force  was  hroughl  to  bear 
on  IJie  weakest  side  of  Helen's  chaiHCter; 
and  this  was  a  sense  "f  approbation, 
and  love  of  admiration. 

Mrs.  Stanley  letX  her  neicc  in  a  few  days 
after  the  conversation  which  we  have  re- 
corded, and  the  subject  was  not  renewed 
by  the  ladies— indeed,  Helen  avoided  it. 

John  Burfield  continued  his  visits  as  be- 
fore, and  they  grew  more  frctiuent ;  lor  the 
year  was  falling  into  Winter,  and  Helen 
fouad  her  country  home  a  little  dull,  for  it 
was  not  always  convenient  ^to  visit  town, 


opening  blossoms,  and  of  all  the  ^oy  of 
the  year's  awakening.

"Dearmc,  aunt,"  said  the  giil,  with  a 
shru!?   of   her  pretty  sloping    shoulders, 
you  fairly  make  me  sir  iddcr  ?    What  shall 
Jdo?" 

"  Break  of!'  this  acquaintance  at  tmce, 
replied  Mrs.  Stanley  ;  "  for,  disguise  it,  my 
dear  child,  to  yourself  with  what  petty 
sophistries  you  may,  lovt^  of  admiration  is 
at  the  bottom  of  all  tht.s.  You  smile  upon 
this  young  man,  vou  receive  his  alien- 
tions,  you  talk  and  jest  with  him ;  he  looks 
in  your  face,  and  feeds  anew  the  love  with 
whicb  he  regards  you.  It  is  not  enough 
to  say  that  nc  understands  your  true  senti- 
ments ;  while  y(m  treat  him  as  you  did  this 
morning,  the  man  will  h^ivo.hope,  and  the 
truer  and  nobler  he  is,  the  harder  at  last 
will  it  be  to  surrender  you." 

"  I  never  looked  at  it  in  ttiil  Irght  be 
lore,"  said  Helen. 

She  spoke  half  to  herself,  this  lime, 
slowly  revolving  the  sci.ssors  sronivl  her 
fin;^er3. 

"  I  dare  say  not,"  somewhat  !»a<ily  sub- 
joiaed  Mrs.  Stanley,  resuming  her  sewing, 
and  stitching  rapidiy  for  a  few  moments  ; 
then  dropping  her  work,  she  continued, 
with  an  earnestness  that  flushed  her  laded 
cheeks,  and  lent  a  strange  charm  to  her 
grave,  gentle  face,  "I  cannot  understand 
how  It  is  that  so  many  of  my  sex  are  so 
culpably  U>  blame  in  their  social  relations 
with  men.    They  talk  and  jest,  and,  what 
is  a  thousand  times  worse,  they  act  as  if  a 
man's  heart  was  a  thing  made  chiefly  for 
their    amusement.    I   have  f^ccn  women, 
generous,  true,  and   conscientious,  love  y 
in  all  other  respects,  totally  blind,  utterly 
at    fault,   m    this   one.    Do   you  know, 
Helen,  that  it  is  a  serious  thing,  and  one 
for  which  we  shall  be  held  accountable,  to 
trifle  with  another's  aflections?" 

"  I  am  not  trifling  with  John  Burfield," 
asseverated  Helen,  with  strong  feeling  in 
every  word  she  uttered.  "  I  should  scorn, 
aunt,  to  carry  on  a  flirtation  with  any 

man."  .  , 

"  Call  things  by  their  right  names,  my 
child,"  said  her  aunt.    "  Be  honest  with 
yourself,  and    acknowledge    that     every 
charm  and  every  grace  is  «>nly  a  snare  to 
liim  •  and  remember  tha^  when  a  woman 
satisfies  herself  she  cannot  accept  a  man, 
then  the  separation  betwixt  herself  aiid 
him  ought  to  be  entire.    It  catinot  safely

thoughtlesencKS  of   mine,  1  . 

man'*  heart,  or  blizhtcd  his  happiness  for 
life." 

"  But,  aunty,  your  ideal  of  men   is  so 
high,  just  after  your  own  pattern.    Their 


feel 
or    any 
had  broken  a 


eracelUl  person  and  pleasing  social  gif^ 
would  never  be.  But  Helen  was  too  kind- 
hearted,  and  really  thoueht  loo  much  of 
the  vovmg  man,  to  wound  him  more  than 
was'  necessary  ,  and  her  sympathies  were 
greatly  stirred  when  she  .«aw  the  agony 
her  refusal  cost  him. 

It  was  u.  very  gentle,  yet,  to  do  her  jus 
lice,  a  decided  refusal ;  but  she  made  an 
egregi<ni3  mistake  when  she  desired  him 
lo  visit  her  at  all  times  as  a  friend,  a  privi- 
lege of  which  he  was  only  too  glad  to  avail 
himself;  so  she  and  the  lover  she  had  re- 
fused were  thrown  constantly  together  on 
terms  of  greater  intimacy  than  ever. 

He  brought  her  flowers,  and  books,  and 
fruit ;  he  took  her  to  ride  and  to  walk  ;  he 
was  her  usual  attendant  at  a  sail,  or  party, 
or  pic  nic ;  she  sang  for  him  her  sweetest 
songs,  and  there  was  no  week  in  which 
John  Burfield  did  not  visit  her ;   and  as 
Helen's  home  was  a  few  miles  from  town, 
the  young    merchant's   horse  always  re- 
mained for  several  hours  at  the  front  gate 
of  the  doctor's  pleasant  cottage  ;   and  yet 
all  these  things  were  done  in  the  name  of 
friendship;  and  Helen  Allen  made  herself 
believe  that  these  relations  were  altogether 
hHrml'-ss— that  John  Burfleld  under8to«xt 
her  feeliugs,  and  there  was  nothing  that 
«hould  prevent  his  being  her  friend. 

Of  course   there  was  not ;    but   Helen 
Allen  knew  very  well  that  it  was  a  moral 
iinpo.=sihility  for  John  Burfield  to  be  more 
than  this.    She  read  the  utter  refutation 
ot  her  pretty,  plausible  sophistry  in  every 
tone  ot  his  voice,  and  every  glance  of  his 
eyes,  and  she  knew  perfectly  well  that  his 
heart  still  clung  to  the  idol  of  his  worship; 
but  Helen  was  wilfully  blind.    She  would 
not  see  that  the  indtdgence  of  her  society 
was  doing  to  him    the  most  cruel  wrong 
that  a  woman  could  do  to  a  true  and  sin- 
cere man  ;  and  she  did  not  look  down  into 
the  silent  chambers  of  her  own  heart,  and 
see  how  vanity  and    love  of  admiration 
were  warping  her  judgment,  and  sUmula- 
ling  her  to  a  course  of   action  which  the 
better  part  of  her  nature  must  have  risen 
un  and  condemned.    For  the  admiration 
of  John  Burfield  was  very  pleasant  to  her. 
She  knew  very  well  the  smiles  and  tones, 
the  words  and  gknces,  which  kept  him 
at  her  side ;    and  she  knew,  too,  that  his 
heart  could  never  bo  attracted  toward  any 
other  woman,  so  long  as  she  held  her  old 
influence  otct  him  ;   and  yet,  because  his 
adoration  was  so  gratifying  to  her   s«lf- 
lovc,  she  permitted  her  victim  to  continue 
in  her  toils.  .  .  ^^, 

But  Mrs.  Stanley's  plain,  straightfor 
ward  questions  and  arguments  liad  aroused 
her  niece's  conscience,  and  it  was  with  a 
pang  of  remorse  she  dressed  herself  for 
the  ride  she  had  promised  to  take  with  the 
young  merchant  that  afternoon. 

She  heard  a  carriage  stop  at  the  gate  as 
fchc  stowl  before  her  mirror,  her  head  rest- 
ing on  her  hand,  and  her  conduct  for  the 
last  year  rising  up  before  her  in  its  real 
features,  and  appalling  her  with  re- 
proaches. 

The  moment  after  the  carriage  wheels 
had  stopped,  a  young  lady  sprang  up  the 
stairs  and  bounded  into  the  room  where 
Ilelen  stowl  before  her  mirror.  She  was 
a  brilliant,  haughty -looking  girl,  abotit 
Helen's  age,  dressed  in  that  elaborate  stvle 
which  iKist  suited  bcr.  She  had  a  face 
which  you  might  have  admired,  but  not 

lovoii 

"  Why,  Isalwl !"  exclaimed  Helen,  lifting 
her  head  from  her  hand. 

"Are  you  not  glad  to  see  me,  Helen  . 
she  asked. 

"  Very,"  was  the  cordial  response. 

"  I  met  Mr.  Burfield  this  morning  whem 
I  was  out  on  a  shopping  tour,"  said  the 
fair,  haughty  lady,  throwing  herself  into 
a  chair,  and  fanning  herself  with  a  rare 
sandal-wood  fan  ;  "  and  I  availed  myself  of 
the  opportunity  to  make  all  the  inquiries 
about  you  that  I  could.  The  young  gen- 
tleman informed  mo  that  he  had  made  an 
engagement  to  ride  out  with  you  this  af- 
ternoon, and   invited   me  to  accompany 


field  became  a  sort  of  necessity.  In  the  ab- 
sence of  any  one  who  eclipsed  him.  Helen  s 
conscience  was  not  however  always  at  ease. 
There  were  glances  and  pressures  of  the 
hand  at  meeting  and  parting,  which  she 
could  not  misinterpret ;  and  there  were 
times  when  the  shadow  of  John  Burfield's 
foreheail,  and  the  involuntary  sighs  that 
crept  up  from  his  heart,  told  his  hostess,  as 
no  words  could  have  done,  of  the  doubt 
and  pain  that  wrung  it. 

But,  on  the  whole  the  y^iug  lover  was 
usually  cheerful,  or  fidl  of  high  spirits  in 
the  presence  of  his  enchantress.  How 
could  he  help  living  on  the  hope  which  all 
her  actions  kept  alive,  no  matter  what  her 
words  said  ?  But  at  last,  the  end  came. 
Late  in  the  Winter,  Helen  Allen  met,  on  a 
brief  visit  to  town,  a  young  lawyer,  in 
whom  she  at  once  became  interestod. 

The  attraction  was  mutual,  and  in  the 
spring  the  young  gentleman  was  a  very  fre- 
quent guest  at  her  father's.    John  Burfield 
had  been  absent  about  a  month,  and  it  so 
happened  that  he  did  not  see  the  young 
lawyer,  or  suspect  the  true  state  of  things, 
for  some  time.     But  one  evening  the  two 
gentlemen  met  at  the  residence  of  Doctor 
Allen.     Love  has  singular  acuteness,  and, 
though  his  hostess  was  polite  as  ever,  still 
John  Burfleld  felt  there  was  an  indescriba- 
ble change  i*  her  manner,  and  that  ho  was 
not,  as  heretofore,  the  most  favored  guest. 
He  left  early,  but  before  his  departure  he 
said  to  her,  when  alone  in  the  conservatory 
— "  You  know  we  made  an  engagement  last 
week,  to  gel  up  a  small  pic  nic  party.  Are 
you  engaged  next  Friday  Helen  ?  " 

"  Yes  John,"  ehe  replied  with  a  little 
fluttering  in  her  check  ;  "  I  have  promised 
Mr.  Paulding  to  join  a  similar  party  on 
that  day,  so  I  am  afraid  we  must  defer 
ours  tor  another  week."—"  As  you  lik«, 
said  Mr.  Burfleld. 

There  was  something  hoarse  and  hard 
in  the  monosylables,  which  made  Helen 
look  up  to  his  face  It  was  very  pale ; 
and  about  the  mouth,  and  in  the  eyes,  there 
was  a  look  of  terrible  suflfering. 

"  What  is  the  matter,  John  ? '  exclaimed 
the  lady,  in  real  alarm.  . 

"  Oh  Helen,  you  don't  know!— you  don  t 
know ! "  said  he  ;  and  then,  as  if  afraid  to 
trust  himself  ferther,  he  hurried  away. 
But  Helen  caught  that  last  wild,  ahoQost 
frantic  glance,  that  his  ryes  shot  on  her  as 
they  parted. 

8h«  could  not  misunderstand  that  and  a 
sharp  pang  smote  her  heart  and  her  fair 
face  was  uneasy  and  troubled  as  she  re- 
turned to  the  drawing-room. 

"  What  is  the  matter?"  asked  the  young 
lawyer,  as  he  roee  up,  and  took  the  small 
hands  of  his  hostess,  and  looked  nernestly 
and  fondly  in  her  face. 

«•  Nothing— at  least,  nothing  that  1  can 
tell  you,  Mr.  Paulding,"  she  replied,  and  a 
bright  smile  chased  the  gloom  from  her 
brown  eyes, 


conflict  during  the  last  two  days  ;  but  he 
said,  with  his  old  manner-"  I  have  come 
to  take  you  to  a  picnic,  arranged  by  my 
sister,  and  this  lime  I  can  have  no  excuse, 
Helen." 

"You  must,  Mr.  Burfield,  for  I  am  ex- 
pecting company." 

Helen  said  this  very  relutanlly  :  but 
there  was  no  help  for  it ;  and  Mr.  Pauld- 
ing had  assured  her  he  shauld  be  with  her 
before  two  o'clock.  . 

"  Helen,  are  you  expecting  Mr.  Paulding 
this  afternoon  V" 

Her  face  made  answer  before  her  lips 
did—"  I  think  he  may  be  here." 
"  And  are  you  going  to  marry  that  man ; 
"  It  is  too  bad  to  question  mc  in  this  way, 
Mr.  Burfield,"  said  Helen,  hiding  her  face, 
burning  with  blushes. 

John  Burfield  did  not  heed  her  words; 
ho  seized  both  her  hands,  and  fairly  crush- 
ed them  in  his  own. 

"  Oh  Helen  Allen !"  he  groaned,  lu  a 
voice  that  would  have  melted  to  pity  a 
heart  far  harder  than  hishsteners,  1 
had  not  su.spcctcd  this!— I  cannot  believe 
it  I" 

"  Why  John,  you  distress  me,"  she  said. 
"  Don't  act  so.  You  know  I  told  you  long 
ago  that  there  was  no  hope.'' 

"  But  I  did  hope,  Helen  Allen, 
Burfield.  "  How  could  it,  with  yo 
face,  that  I  was  reafty  to  fall  down  and 
worship,  before  me  every  few  days,  and 
your  lips  full  of  smiles,  as  your  voice  was 
full  of  welcomes.  I  was  a  looi,  perhaps; 
but  I  couldn't  help  it,  so  long  as  you  al- 
lowed me  the  blessed  sight  of  you;  and 
now— oh  Ilelen  !  I'm  a  proud  man,  and  lis 
hard  that  you  should  see  me  like  this ;  but 
it  would  have  been  belter  if  I  had  died- 
better  if  I  had  died." 

With  those  words  he  gave  her  one  wild 
look,  threw  his  arms  about  her,  and  kissed 
her  forehead  over  and  over,  and  then  he 
was  gone,  and  Helen  sat  all  alone,  weeping 
the  bitterest  tears  of  her  life. 

John  Burfleld  mounted  his  horse  and 
dashed  swiftly  homeward.  Alas !  in  that 
bitterest  agony  of  his  life,  he  had  no  faitli 
in  the  great  love  that  would  have  healed 
his  broken  si«int;  he  had  made  to  himself 
an  earthly  idol,  and  when  it  was  broken 
he  fell  that  in  all  the  world  there  was  no 
rest  for  his  soul. 

Madness  had  tired  hi'*  heart  and  brain, 
and  on  his  way  homo  his  glance  just  graz- 
ed the  still  deep  river,  its  bright  waters 
asleep  »)etwoen  the  fringes  of  swamp  wd- 
lows  and  with  that  glance  his  purpose 
was  taken !  He  hurried  to  his  oflice,  wrote 
a  brief  note  to  his  widowed  mother,  and 
rode  back  to  the  banks  of  the  river.  There 
was  a  heavy  plunge,  and  may  Heaven  have 
mercy  upon  the  soul  of  John  Burfield ! 

The  news  came  lo  Helen  Allen  as  she  sat 
with  her  lover  that  night  in  the  same  roona 
where  she  and  John  Burfield  had  passed 
so  many  pleasant  hours  together.  I 

It  was  a  terrible  blow  to  her ;  still,  the 
circumstances  were  not  very  accurately  re- 
nortcd,  and  Helen  believed  that  the  young 
man  had  accidentally  fallen  into  the  river, 
and  been  drowned;  but  slie  passed  a  sleep- 
less night,  thinking  of  their  last  interview 
on  earth.  The  next  day  she  received  a 
message  from  Mrs.  Burfield,  the  mother  of 
the  dead  man,  requesting  that  she  would 
call  on  her  before  ntght. 

Helen  had  only  met  the  lady  once,  but 
she  knew  that  John  had  often  spoken  of 
her  to  his  mother,  and  she  suppos^  lliat 
it  war.  on  this  account  that  the  afllicted 
woman  desired  to  see  her,  and  receive  her 
sympathy;  and,  with  a  sad  heart,  the 
young  giri  rotleover  to  the  house  ol  mourn- 

"Come  with  mc,"  said  the  stricken  moth- 
er, alter  she  liad  looked  sternly  a  moment 
in  Helen's  face;  and  she  led  her  into  the 
next  room,  where  he  lay,  as  if  in  slumber, 
the  dark  locks  clustering  about  his  fore- 
head and  the  features  settled  into  such 
pale  peacefulness,  that  it  did  not  seem  his 
1  young  manhood  had  been  thus  suddenly 
"stricken  out  of  him. 

"  He  was  all  that  I  had  in  the  world— 
my  precious  boy,  and  I  loved  him  belter 
than  my  own  life  ;  and  you  have  laid  him 
there.  Miss  Allen,"  continued  Mrs.  Bur 
field.    "  There,  don't  start  and  look  at  me 
so.  now  ;  vou  can't  give  me  back  my  son, 
for  'tis  tofi  late ;  but  if  it  hadn't  been  for 
you,  his  poor  mother  wouldn't  be  looking 
this  day  upon  his  dead  countenance.     \  ou 
broke  his  heart  with  your  pretty  face  and 
\  our  bright  winning  way.    1  was  afraid  ol 
U  for  a  whole  year ;  for  I  saw  that  ho  wor- 
shiiiped  you,  though  he  never  said  much 
about  It,  and  I  used  to  hint  it  sometimes 
but  there  would  always  come  a  lo«jk  into 
his  face  that  J  couldn't  bear  to  see,  and  he 
would  say,  *  Don't  say  that,  mother  :  Hel 
en  Allen  wotdd  never  let  me  visit  her  so, 
and  treat  mo  as  she  does,  it  she  did  not 
care  for  me,  no  matter  what  she  may  say. 
But  there  he  lies  now,  and  I  want  you  to 
feel  that  you've  kUlcd  my.son,  and  broken 
his  mother's  heart. " 

Mrs  Burfield  was  an  old  woman,  and 
John  was  the  youngest  of  the  four  boys 
over  whom  her  mother  heart  had  poured 
the  old  cry  of  Rachel,  of  Ramah.  Helen 
Allen  uttered  no  word  while  standing  be- 
fore the  dead  man ;  but  her  face  was  pale 
as  his  She  went  silently  out  of  the  house, 
but  before  she  reached  the  carriage  where 
her  father  waited  for  her,  she  fell  in  -k  swoon 
on  the  pavement. 

For  days  afterwards  they  trembled  for 
her  reason.  Her  aunt  was  sent  for,  and 
dav  and  night  she  comforted  the  remorse- 
stricken  girl,  and  listened  to  her  (  caselcss 
self  upbraidings.  .  .,    u 

"You  told  me  what  to  do,  aunt,  she 
said ;  "  but  1  loved  his  admiration,  and  I 
knew  it  was  this  all  the  time,  although  I 
wculdn't  admit  it  to  myself,  which  made 
me  keep  him  at  my  side ;  and  now  I  must 
carry  through  life  the  thought  that  I  am 
his  murderer !"  ,  •     u 

Mrs.  Stanley  did  all  that  it  wm  in  her 
power  to  do.  She  went  to  Mrs.  Burfleld, 
and  painted  her  niece's  agony  m  such 
words,  that  the  mourning  mother  s  heart 
was  melted,  and  she  went  to  Helen,  and 
told  her  she  forgave  her  for  the  wrong  she 
had  done  her  son.  ,   .    ,        « 

At  last  Mrs.  Stanley's  counsels  took  root 
in  the  heart  of  her  mece,  and  repentance 
look  the  place  of  remorse,  and  she  rose  up 
from  her  sick  bed  a  wiser  and  a  better  wo-

Seneca  Nation  of  Indians  look  place  at 
New  Lawn,  on  thc  Cattaraugus  Reserva- 
tion, New  York,  recently.  This  festival 
has  been  kept  up  by  the  Indians  from  time 
immemorial,  and  h  decidedly  unique  in  its 
features.  Thc  Dunkirk  Journal  gives  the 
following  description  of  the  "CireCQ  Corn 
Dance,"  which  may  be  interesting  to  eomc 
of  ciur  readers  -.  -    ,    •    .  i 

The  men  and  women  form  a  circle,  in  lac 
middle  of  which  thc  musicians  arc  seated. 
Thc  musical  instruments  generally  coneist 
of  a  Email  keg  (in  modern  times  oyster 
kegs  have  been  made  available  for  the 
purpose)  minus  one  head,  with  a  woou- 
chuck  skin  stretched  over  thc  open  end, 
and  a  small  turtle  shell  with  a  handle  at- 
tached, and  a  woodchuck  skm  extended 
from  edge  to  edge  on  the  concave  side. 
The  former  being  n  sort  of  drum,  is  thUE^.p- 
cd  with  a  single  sUck,  and  dried  peas  arc 
put  in  to  give  the  latter  a  rattlin?  nou'c. 

The  music  moves  slowly  at  first,  and  thc 
dancers  only  walk.    Presently  the  meas- 
ure grows  more  lively  and  the  Indians  be- 
gin to  dance,  alternatively  hopping  twice 
upon  one  foot  and  swing  from  side  to  i,idc, 
while  the    women    all    facing  outward, 
manage  by  moving  their  toes    outward 
and  inward,  to  move  around  in  thc  reviv- 
ing circle  >vithout  lifting  their  feet  from 
the  floor.       Fnotcr  uud  faiitcr  goca  the 
music,    and    more   vigorously  move  the 
dancers,  the  warriors  leaping  and  whirang 
lo  and  fro.  flinging  their  anus  about,  aud

convulsivo  jerks  as  would  seem  imprac- 
tic«able  to  anyone  else,  while  the  womcii 
ever  looking  demurely  to  thc  floor,  ami 
with  their  arms  hanging  motionless  by 
their  sides,  still  glide  onward,  as  if  borne 
along  by  some  niieans  independent  of  their 
own  powers  of  loconioiiou.    At  latt  when 
the  dancing  bas  become  as  \h  cly  as  possi- 
ble, and  even  Indian  nerves  and  muscles 
are  jaded  by  intense  action,  at  a  given  sig- 
nal all  stop  suddenly  when  thc  warriors 
join    in    a   series  of   whoops  and  yelLs 
hideous  enough,    nlmf>.',t,    to  curl'?  thf

•*  WilTyou  tell  me  whether  this  Mr.  Bur- 
fleld is  a  triend,  or  more  thah  this  ?"  he 
asked;  for  the  young  lawyer  was  ill  at 
ease  on  witnessing  the  evident  familiarity 
of  the  lady  and  her  guest. 

"  Oh,  he  is  only  a  fnend,"  she  repUed. 
"  We  have  known  each  other  intimately 
lor  years,  and  of  course  he  feels  quite  at 
home  here." 

The  lover  was  satisfied,  and  a  little  later 
Helen  listened  to  words  which  were  the 
gwoeteet  her  ear  had  ever  caught,  and 
which  had  filled  her  heart,  like  the  jubi- 
lant chime  ot  marriage  bells ;  and  in  the 
first  joy  of  her  betroihal,  there  stole  across 
her  no  memory  of  the  true  love  sue  had 
wroMed.  or  the  heart  that  her  carelessness 
and  ^ity  had  broken.  But  that  night  in 
her  dreams,  the  pale  agonised  face  ot  John 
MflH  appeared  before  her ;  and  witn  a 
start  she  woke  up ;  and.  in  the  darkness, 
her  pillow  was  wot  with  tears  of  sorrow 
and  self-reproach. 

Two  days  later  thc  young  merchant  caU- 
ed  on  Helen  again.  It  was  an  afternoon 
ia  the  early  June,  full  of  fragrance,  of 


man. 

Mie  acquainted  her  lovur  with  all  the 
circumstances  of  her  intimacy  with  John 
Burfleld,  but  he  tried  to  soften  her  seli- 
uobraidings,  and  his  love  never  permitted 
him  to  see  that  she  did  not  falsely  accuse 
herself.  They  were  married,  and  Ilelen 
Paulding  was  happy  with  thc  husband  ot 
her  youth ;  but  there  was  one  memory 
which  threw  a  dark  shadow  over  many  of 
the  hours  of  her  life.         .    . 

She  was  an  earnest.  Christian  woman,  a 
loving  wife,  a  devoted  mother  ;  for  in  that 
long,  bitter  season  of  remorse  she  had 
learaed  that  the  only  healing  for  the  sin- 
ner and  the  sufferer  is  in  the  Toice  of  the 
Master,  flowing  sweetly  and  tenderly 
down  through  its  long  path  of  centuries, 
"  Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee ;  go  m  peace. 


"  Yes, 

sire."  ,   , 

•'  Well,  sir,  yes.  I  am  glad  to  sec  you. 
Perhaps  yoo  wo«xi  like  U)  hav  a  rume  and 
wash  yo  bans  befo  yu  eat  dinner  ana  ar- 
range yo  klasscs." 

I  told  him  I  wood. 

"Tojnsun,"  he  savs  lo  the  gentlemau 
that  brot  me  up,  "  be  kino  cnuf  to  assine 
this  yung  man  to  a  rume."  And  then 
turnin  to  mo  he  says.  "  Mr. ,  what  is 

yo  naim,  sur  V"  „ 

"Ward,"  Ireplied—"  Artemus  >\ard. 
"Yes.  Well,  Mr.  Ward,  make  yoselt 
ctinifu liable  in  yo  rume,  plceze,  until  about 
f.xM-lock  this  artcrnoon.  Then  yoo  wdl 
bo  kaulcd  to  dinna,  arter  which  I  will  as 
sine  yoo  yo  klasscs,  an  yoo  can  go  to  wcrk

I  thanked  him,  and  then  Mr.  Tomsun, 
cxchaingin  a  pleasant  smile  with  Mr.  l  ail,

In  the  discussion  of  thc  In.stilutc  t  ar- 
mers  Club,  of  New  York,  thc  question  of 
pasturing  and  soiling  cattle  was  remarked 
upon  with  reference  to  their  coit  and  ad- 
vantages. .1 .  C.  Brctshneils,  of  Erie  Co., 
New  York,  said  where  land  is  worth  $1U0 
per  acre  pasturing  will  not  pay.  If  worth 
only  $;i5  or  $40  per  acre  noiling  will  not 
pay  as  well  as  pasturing. 

PoTATOKs  should  never  bo  dug  until  the 
skin  i^  linn,  and  if  thowing  any  H-n  ol 
rot,  let  them  rciu-.iiu  in  the  soil  as  late  iis 
possible,  as  it  is  scarcely  worth  while  to 
dig  out  those  thtt  will  decay  when  put  in 
bins.  Dig  only  in  dry  weather,  leaving 
the  tubers  in  the  eun  lon^  enough  to  get 
completely  dried  before  picking  them  uji. 
Bruise  as  little  as  possible  in  handling,  and 
store  only  in  dry  bins. 

Fi.ouK    Makino.— The    qutstiou    huw 
much  wheat  does  it  take  to  make  a  barrel 
of  Hour  is  oflen  asked,  and  the  answer  is 
of  a  general  character,  "  fivo  bushels  arc 
allowed."    At  the  annual  Fair  of  thc  Du- 
biKiue  county  (Iowa)  Agricultural  Society 
in  18C6,  a  premium  of  ^.i  was  oflered  for 
the  best  barrel  of  flour  made  from  winter 
wheat,  and  also  the  same  made  from  spring 
wheat.    A  firm  entered  one  barrel  each, 
accompanied  with  thc  statement  that  si.v- 
Iccu  bushels  of  winter  wheat  yielded  three 
barrels  and  one  hundred  and  i  luce  pounds 
of  flour— at  thc  rate  of  four  bushels  and 
flfleen  pounds  of  w  beat  to  tho|barrcl.    Of 
spring  wheat,  fitty  bushels  yicMod  eleven 
barrels  of  flour,  being  four  bushels  and 
thirty-two   pounds   lo    the   barrel.    Thc 
wheat  was  a  fnir  quality  and  no  more. 

Soii.iNG  Cows  v.s.  Pasxukiko.— An  ex- 
periment was  made  by  a  member  of  thc 
Royal  Academy  of  ApriouUure,  of  Prus- 
Bia,  extending  iarough  fccven  years,  to  test 
the  comparative  merits  of  soiling  (stable 
feeding)  and  jiasiuring.     Thc  pasturing 
averaged  1,580  quarts  per    cow,  lor  the 
whole  seven  years;  and  thc  average    ot 
the  soiling  nlan  for  Ihe  pamo  time  was 
8,442  quarts  per  cow— the   cows   in  both 
cases  being  about  thc  same  in  natural  pro- 
duction of  milk.     Thi.",  of  course,  docs 
not   prove   that  such  a  great  diflercnce, 
coull  result  from  soiling  generally.     The 
quality  of  pai^lurcs,  «r  the  feed,  care  and 
treatment  of  the  animals  when  subjected 
to  stable  fee<liag  would  produce  dillcrcnt 
results ;  but  il  is  a  well  established  fact  that 
a  good  deal  more  milk  can  be  obtained  by 
soiling  than  by  pasturing,  and  at  consider- 
able less  expense,  taking  the  value  of  ma- 
nure saved,  use  of  land  for  pasture?,  etc., 
into  consideration.

There  are  but  lew  pleasing  reminiscenc-

were  prostrated  by  thc  hurricane  which 
swept  over  this  country  in  thirty-seven— 
when  the  banks  generally  suspended  spe- 
cie paymenta.  and  hard  cash  was  a  phe- 
nomenon. We  recollect  but  one  mirth- 
provoking  incident  connected  with  inc 
greit  panic,  and  that  was  thc  presentation 
of  a  hundred  doUsr  bill  at  the  counter  of  a 
city  bank  by  a  Frenchman,  with  a  demand 

for  the  specie.  w.,^,^v

A  r«c>v  Kind  ol"  IVcll. 

A  new  method  of  putting  down  a  well, 
which  readily  suggest  il.sclf  to  every  man 
for  cheapness,  cleanliness  and  durabiuty, 
has  recently  "tjcen  tried  with  success  1  ae 
well  is  dug  ordinarily  till  sufflcicnt  water 
is  reached,  and  then  a  reservoir  ot  loose 
stone  and  water  lune  mortar,  about  four 
feet  deep,  is  made  in  thc  bottom,  so  mor- 
tared up  on  the  sides  as  to  prevent  the 
possibility  of  dirt  or  quicksand  getting  m. 
The  well  consists  of  large  tile,  commonly 
used  for  sewers,  put  down  within  six 
inches  of  tho  bottom,  and  the  earth  filled 
in.  This  leaves  plenty  of  room  lor  the 
pump,  and  the  ton  wants  closing  up  care- 
fully. This  kind  of  well  never  needs 
cleaning,  because,  if  properly  made,  no  dirt 
can  ever  get  in.  Thc  «ost  is  considerably 
less  than  that  of  ordinury  wells,  and  a  well 
can  bo  put  down  a  great  deal  guirkcr.

U12PARATOU     CAPIL.L.I, 

Far  restoring    hair    upon    bald  hcnd 
(from  whatever  cause  it  may   have  fallen 
out)  and  forcing  a  growth  of  hair  upon 
tlie  face,  it    has  no  eiiual.     It  will  force 
the  btard   to  grow    uivon  the  smoothest 
face  in  from  five  to  eight  weeks,  or  hair 
upon    bald  heads  la  from   two    to  three 
inonth.^.     A   few   ignorant    practitioners 
iaea.sserted    that  there  is  nothing    t'.iat 
will  force  or  hasten  the   growth  of  the 
hair  or  beard.     Tlieir  as.«ertioiis  are  false, 
:l8  thousands  of    living    witnesses  (from 
their  ow^n  experience)  can    bear  witness. 
But  tiiany  will  sny.  Iiow  are  we  to  distin- 
rjuish  the  genuine  from  the  spurious?     It 
oi-rtain'y  is  diniculr,  o.'^  nine-tenths  of  the 
different   I'rcparation.s  advertised  for  the 
hair  nnd  beard  arc  entirely  worlhU  s.'J,  and 
you  may  have  already  thrown  away  large 
amounts  in   their  purchase.      To  such  we 
would  say,  try  the  Ueparator  Capilli  ;  it

Hegelabls  Sicilian  Haii  fisnewei 

ITdn  stood  the  test  of  seven  years 
trial  by  the  public  ;  and  no  prepa- 
ration for  the  hair  yet  disrorercd 
will  produce  the  same  bcncjicuil 
rcsultii.  It  is  a  new  scientific  dis- 
coi'crij,  combininu  the  most  power- 
fal  and  res^oratire  agents  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  Jt  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  It  makes  the  scalp 
tvltitcand  clean;  cares  tlandruff 
and  humors,  aud  falUng  out  of  th| 
hair;  and  will  mahe  it  yrowupon 
bald  heads,  except  in  very  aged 
persons,  as  it  furnishes  the  nutri- 
tive principle  by  which  the  hair 
is  nourished  and  supported.  It 
inalces  the  hair  moist,  soft,  and 
glos-af,  and  is  unsurpassed  as  a 
HAIR*  DRESSING.  It  is  the  cheapest 
preparation  ever  offered  to  the 
public,  as  one  bottle  tvill  acconi' 
plish  more  and  last  longer  than 
three  bottles  of  any  other  prepara^ 

tion.  ,  ^  , 

If  is  recommended  and  itsea  by 
the  First  Medical  Authority. 

The  wonderful  results  produced 
by  our  Sicilian  .Hair  lienewer 
have  iudured  many  to  manufac- 
ture preparations  for  the  JTair, 
under  various  names  ;  and  in 
order  to  induce  the  trade  and  the 
public  to  purchase  their  com- 
pounds, the)/  hare  resorted  to  false- 
hoods, bi/  claiming  th^-y  were 
former  partners,  or  had  some  con- 
nection with  our  Mr.  JIall,  and 
their  preparation  was  similar  to 
ours.  Do  not  de  deceived  by  them! 
rurchaso  the  original :  it  has 
never  been  equalled.  Our  Treatise 
on  the  Hair,  with  certificates,  sent 
free  bi/  mail.  See  that  each  bottle 
hfis  our  private  Itevenue  Stamp 
over  the  fop  of  the  bottle.  All  oth- 
ers are  intit<itions.

The  Hoard  of  County  Comniissioners 
Insured ! 1 1 


sure. 


THE  ASSESSOR  BLANKS 


L;f«i  insurance  is  considered  \r  some  to 
if  a  line  thing.  Uut  we  have  always  eoi.- 
widered  if  an  iusnrance  eomimny  «»n  make 
money  by  life  insurance  after  pacing  great 
expenses,  tl*e  fcrnon  hiiuself  could  save 
■uioaey  aud  save  the  expenses  too  by  insur- 
ing himself.  But -of  <-«u?s«  this  is  not  tlie 
*;(;«  wh«re  one  person  gets  injured  and 
ttuolher  person  pays  fix  it. 

The  Board  of  County  Commisjioners  have 
teen  insured    for   $y.OOO,  aud   we  presume 
thoy  will  make  uionc-y   at  it,  as  the  county 
cf  Scott  has  paid  the  expeiJses.  The  *'Hoa. ' 
Deacon   Fudge  is  county  auorney  aud  also 
uD   agent    fur  several  iusur^i.-ue  eonipiiiiies.^ 
^2  county  attorney,  he  adv\«e*'tLe  bi>anl  oi 
-connty    commissioners  that  it  in   legal    lor 
ihem  to   be  insured  and  Ibr  Scott  county  to 
jjay  lh«  expenses.     Aii    insurance  sigeiit,  he 
ii/^ei  several    pulieies  of  insurance    to  the 
board    of    couuiy    cojumissioncrs  of   ii*:ua 
county    to  the  sf.m  of  §y,OUO,  at  au.expeuse 
of  f.'l^l.     But  who  pays  ibis  expense  ?     The 
board  of  commissioners  are  i..surtd,  but  the 
county  of  Scott  it  culled  upon  by  the  county 
•ttorcey   for   the    $231,  and    the    people's 
UiWcy  is  actually  paid  to    him.     This  is  an 
outrage   that  ought  uol  tj   be  submitted  to. 
ScoU   coiiniy    cert*  iidy    has    no  moBey 
epare  fopiuauiing  the  board  of  county  com- 
iniscioners,  even  if  it  is    paid    upon  liie  ad- 
-.  ice  cf  a  presumntuou*"  fool.     Upon  lentuing. 
that  so  much  money  had  been  p^id  f»r  such 

of  the  Oytinty  auditor  tyi-the  reason  why 
'     It   appears  "that  at  a  luctnl  naeelv.:g  et   the 
board     of    county     cfmniissiouecs,    J.     L. 
Mac  Donald,   who  is    county- attorney    and 
»l30  an    insurance  agent,  apjvised    the  com- 
miaaioner.n  to  have  the  Clpurt  House  insured. 
It  also  appears    that    t'.i.^    Court   House  had 
been  insured  fwr  two" or  three' Tears  and  that 
the  time  does  net  expire  v.uiil  ui,">iovember- 
Tbere  theu  was,  yy  need  of  the  Court  House 
being  insured  until  ihat   time  was  up.     Ihe 
commissioners  directed    the  Court  House  to 
bt  insured,  but  ciirtaiuly  did  not  expew-t  to 
have  a  double  insurance  at   the  same  time. 
But  this  J.  iL.  AiacI>onald.  «e»inj{    as  iniur- 
•  nce  agent,    prepares  polick*  *'f  inburaiiee 
on    the    Court  House,  commencing  on    the 
bjnt  of   October,  whereby   he  in&ures  *'The 


some  oversight  forgot  to  mcntioa  his  mas- 
terly leap  from  the  cars  whdc  under  full 
headway.  Taking  such  an  advantage  of  a 
sleeping  sheriff  could  hardly  h.ive  been  ex- 
pected, but  the  hacking  ol  those  vile  bonds 
from  his  limbs  was  certainly  commendable. 
Miss  ^pectator  darkly  alludes  to  boffns 
county  orders,  but  we  suppose  she  refers  to 
for^'cd  notes.  The  $oOO  reward  she  men- 
tions, we  Ulicve  is  the  exact  sum  offered 
for  his  Sivfe  return  ta  >iew  Hampshire,  the 
c.iuutry  he-  "left  for  his  country's  good  i"" 
l)ut  the  amount  of  thiit  recognizance,  for 
which  leg  U»il  was  substituted,  was  a  much 
larijer  sum. 

Now,  Miss  .Spectator,  since  you  have 
commenceH  telling  family  secrets,  you  wiil 
not  mind  telling  who  stole  the  Court  House 
himber.     You    need   not    tell  who  stole  and 

eat  widow  M 's  i*ig,  for  that  is  generally 

known.     If  jou   please,    however,  you  may 
tvU  ns  about    .selline    that  land  to    the  poor

The   Spectator  says   the  connty   paid  us 
$100    for    2,000    Asse.ssor    blanks.     Now, 
Mios    Spectator,   yon  are  slightly  mistaken. 
We    furnished    the    county    2,0'Jl)  .issessor 
blanks,    which    were  worth    $150,  but    the 
county  has  not  paid  ns  anything    far  them. 
These  blanks  arc  just  four  timos  as  large  as 
the   Treasure,  "s    nceipts,  but  they   contain 
aboHt  twenty  times  ns  many   printed  words. 
This  was  about  the    first    'y>h  we  furnished 
the  county.     We  knew    but   liiil^  abmt  the 
valueof  piinted  matter,  !>i>t  in  vde  our  b  w

that  job  for    the  same  rates  the  county  had 
been   paying   Russell  &    McDonald    duriiiij

job  was  delivered,  lh»  retonls  (.f  the  eouii'v

sell   &   McDonald    hud    charged  the  county 
$12.50    a  thousand    for    the  Treasurer's  n  • 
ccipts.     The    Assessors"    blanks  were    four

their  three  story  brick  baildin^,  ^'v*'<^  and 
occupied  by  Vitni  as  a  Court  ilouae."     No*v 
ih«;  absurdity  and  fraudulent  purpo.se  of  tti^s 
insurance  will  be  manliest  when  we  consid. 
cr  that  the  Court  House  is   ihfe  iiroperty  of 
Scott  county,  and  not  of  llw  idurd  of  com- 
tnissiouers.     Scott  county  i*  a  public  corpo- 
ration,   and    as  such  is    the  owsier    of   1t»e 
Court  House,   and  is  capable  of  conlr;-.i;Ling 
end    being  insured.     But  itsa  t^rr:   coininis- 
aioneis  that  are*»«iTcd,  not   th«s  County.— 
The  coDCHSsioners   have  no    moie  ti^le    to 
the  Court  House  than  any  other  tax  payers. 
If  the  Court   Hcuse  burn;;,   the  county  caii"" 
cot  recover  undtr   these   policies,    becausj 
Scott    county    is    not    injured.     Insurance 
companies  will  not  pay    -.-'J.OOD    when  they 
'  can  avoid  it.     Scott  ccanty  could    not  sue 
the  insurance    cfunpunies,     because  .^cott 
.county   is  not  insured.     This  all-wise,  the 
♦*Eon."  Deacon  Tud^o,  of  course  knew  ihi.-. 
Tbo  fraud  of  this  maUer  is  *vldcnt,   when 
we  consider   that  be  was  actiuij   for  the  in- 
iurance  companies.     Insurance   companica 
would   rather  iasue  bad  policies  than   good 
once,  then  the)  are  sure   to  have  nothing  to 
pay.     The    uU-wise— llifi    •' Hon:'    Deacon 
Fudge— of  course  will  not  plead  ignorance. 
He  has    taxeu    $231  from     the    tax  ridden 
pe'oplc  upon  a   bo^us  insurance.     He   knew 
be  wua  doing  this.     Of  course  the  insurance 
companies  pay  hiin  well  for  looking  to  their 
inlercEt.     But    the  fraud  will  appear    more 
manifest   when    it    la  considt-red   that    the 
inaurancte     will      be     void    also,    becansc 
there   is  a  previous   insurance  on    th»  eauie 
property.     This   fact,  by    the  very    terms  of 
the  new    poHcifS,  makes  the  new  insurance 
void.     The    Coitft    Uouse   is  described  as  a; 
three  story  brick   building  ;    but  it   is  Hot  a 
ihrea    atory    brick     building.      The    maiq

for  Mr.  liinds.  Mr.  Hinds  begged  to  be 
excused,  but  tl «  audience  refused  to  excuso

clined, but  the  call  was  still  kept  up.  At 
this,  up  jumps  the  **  i/on."  Deacon  Fudge, 
ai.d  moved  an  odjournincnt.  The  motion 
was  promptly  voted  down,  and  the  call  for 
Mr.    Hinds   renewed.     But   Mr.    Hinda  still 


less  than  the  Urgtil  rates.

We  have  given  the  elpsing  proceeding's 
of  the  meeting  iu  fell,  because  our  cotem- 
pornry  has  given  a  false  statement  concern- 
1  ing  the  same,  if  the  editor  of  that  paper 
t  was  present,  of  course  he  knew  bis  itate- 
ments  were  false.  But  we  suppose  he  mado 
his  false  statements  upon  the  aulhoril^r  of 
"Hon."  Deaco.T  Fudge.  He  has  never  been 
known  to  be  guilty  of  telling  the  truth.

The  Board  of  County  Commissioners  have 
l-ecn  i.isurcd    for   $y,000,  and   we  presume 
luoy  will  make  mu:uy   at  it,  as  ihe  touniy

^2  county  attorney,  lie  advises' tJie  board  ol 
ccnnty    commissioners  thai  it   is   legal    lor 
them  to    be  insured  and  for  Scott  county  to

His   judgment  may    be  relied  on,  as  he  hai  ,  sure 
tried   both  and   neither  was  able   to  control  j 
bis  morements.     She  speaks  of  his    retreat 
toW.iTds   the  east  in    the  cars,  but   through 
some  oversight   forgot  to  mcntloa   his  mas- 
terly   leap   from  the  cars   whde    under  full 
headway.     Takinj:    such  an  advantage  of  a 
sleeping  sheriff  could  hardly  have  been  ex- 
pected, but  tlie  hacki:i-r  of  those    vile  bonds 
from  his  limbs  was  certainly  commendable.

The   Spectator  says   thu  county   paid  us 
$100    for    2,000    Asse.ssor    blanks.     Now, 
Mi.,s    Spectator,   yon  are  slightly  mistaken. 
We    furnished    the    county    l',0:)0  assessor 
blanks,   which    were  worth    $150,  but    the 
county  has  not  paid  us  anything    for  them. 
These'  blanks  arc  just  four  times  ai  large  as 
ihe   Treusurei's    r.  ceipt.<,  but  thoy   contain 
about  twenty  times  as  many    printed  words. 
Thi.s  was  .I'bout  the    first   job  we  furnished

C  ARLOTTA  doesn't  know  that  Maximilian 
is  dead,  and  is  improving  in  mental  condi- 
tion rapidly.  If  she  becomes  sane,  and

Peter  Batne,  who  lives  m  Liondon  and 
knows  what  is  going  on  there,  says  a 
"  pleasant  whisper  "  has  reached  his  ear 
"  to  the  effect  that  Miss  Ingelow  is  about 
to  be  married  to  Mr.  Robiert  Browning. 
Miss  Ingelow  is,  by  common  consent,  re- 

farded  as  our  greatest  living  poetess,  and 
Ir.  Browning  stands  next  to  Tennyson  in 
general  estimation  among  our  poets.  His 
Srst  wife  was  the  greatest  poetess  that  ever 
used  the  English  mnguage  ;  ana  from  Mr. 
Browning's  choice  of  a  second  partner,  we 
may  conclude  that  experience  has  taught 
him  that  a  great  poetess  may  be  a  good 
vnfe."

were  hung  upon  the  little  innocents,  whose 
names  were  found  Inscribed  upon  the  ob- 
verse, while  the  reverse  of  each  medal  re- 
,  spectively  called  to  mind  Abraham  offer- 
ing up  Isaac,  Isaac  blessing  Jacob,  and 
Jacobs  ladder. 

Apropos  to  the  coming  of  Charles  Dick- 
ens to  this  country,  the  Boston  Post  gives 
the  following  account  of  the  distinguished 
authors  personal  appearance  :  "He  does 
not  'recall  the  early  portraits  where  he 
shone  with  beautiful  black  eyes,  splendid 
hair,  and  the  complexion  of  healthy  youth 
He  has  not  fallen  off  indeed  as  Lord  Lyt- 
ton  has  done.  If  you  stand  in  Knebworth 
Hall,  as  I  have  stood,  and  look  at  the  por- 
trait of  Sir  Edward  Lytton  Bulwer  by  Ma- 
clise,  you  will  find  it  difficult  to  believe 
that  the  elderly  gentleman  in  an  old  fash- 
ioned blue  coat,  with  a  stoop  in  his  shoul- 
ders, high  collar  and  stiff  neckerchief 
round  h&  throat,  and  who  puts  his  hand 
behind  his  ear  when  you  speak  to  him — 
was  the  original  of  the  painting.  Charles 
Dickens  la  not  a  contrast  of  that  kind.  He 
has  escaped  the  ill  health  which  has  shat- 
-    tared  the  author  of  "  Pelham."    But  his 

^ hftif  is  iron -gray  and  scanty ;  he  wears  a 

r  mustache  and  pointed  beard,  and  his  face 

. '  "^  '  has  a  red  brown  tinge  which  aometimea  re- 
minds one  of  the  complexion  of  Louis  Na- 
poleon.

it  were  only  wicked  to  drink  this,  how  nice 
it  would  be!"

acters. 

—It  has  been  observed  that  as  civiliza- 
tion creeps  westward  on  the  PUins,  the 
"buffalo  grass"  recedes  correspondingly. 
Within  the  last  few  years  it  has  disap- 
peared entirely  from  liastem  Kansas  and 
Nebraska.  It  is  certainly  accomodating 
on  the  part  of  the  grass  to  go  after  the  buf- 
&loes.

— Vessels  leave  New  York  and  Boston 
regularly  for  cargoes  of  the  new  object  of

ing the  machine  gallery  at  the  Exposition

ing the  whole  of  the  steam  engines  at

—Baltimore  has  appropriated  $36,000 
for  negro  schools  this  year. 

— There  are  300  churches  in  Brooklyn, 
and  108,000  children.  It  should  be  called

—Grace  Church,  New  York,  is  engaged

fashionable  marrying  season  in  New  York 
isjast  opening. 

— Henry  Ward  Beecher,  in  his  discourse 
on  Sunday,  said  that  "  Some  men  will  not 
shave  on  Sunday,  and  yet  they  spend  all 
the  week  in  shaving  their  fellow  men  ;  and 
many  folks  think  it  very  wi«ked  to  black 
their  boots  on  Sunday  morning,  yet  they 
do  not  hesitate  to  black  their  neighbor  s 
reputation  on  week  days." 

— John  Howe  once  observed  two  men 
in  a  violent  passion.  Their  mutual  curs- 
ing shocked  bis  religious  sensibilities.  He 
looked  at  them,  raised  his  hat,  and  said  in 
a  solemn  voice : 

"  I  pray  God  to  bless  you  both !" 

This  prayer  so  impressed  the  quarrel- 
some men  that  they  ceased  their  strife  and 
thanked  Mr.  Howe  for  his  supplication. 

—New  South  (Unitarian)  Church,  atone 
time  the  aristocratic  church  of  Boston,  has 
run  down  to  a  mere  handful,  and  the 
society  have  voted  not  to  carry  on  worship 
any  more  there.  Possessed  of  a  valuable 
property,  the  remaining  members  pro- 
posed to  disband,  against  the  earnest  wish- 
es of  the  minister,  sell  the  property,  and 
divide  it  among  themselves.  This  step 
was  resisted  by  a  process  of  court,  and  the 
highest  tribunal  known  to  the  laws  decided 
that  that  the  society  cannot  sell,  cannot 
pocket  the  proceeds,  but  are  merely  the 
trustees. 


—In  Ofliyloii  there  is  a  fig  tre«  2^55  years

—'The  American  balloonists  are  in  tbe 
service  of  the  Brazilian  ^vemmoit.  On 
one  occasion  they  remained  up  for  forty 
eight  hours  reporting  the  movements  of 
the  enemy. 

—A  Paris  letter  states  that  the  latest 
fashion  in  ve'ds  is  to  wear  them  so  as  to 
shade  the  chignon.  The  fi&ce  is  exposed 
to  the  sun  to  let  the  fiM»  acquire  the  flasb- 
ionable  color  of  the  brtmette,  and  the  dye 
of  the  chignon  is  preserved. 

-After  the  Brenner  Railway  was 
opened,  the  diligence  made  its  last  trip 
wi'-h  great  ceremony.  The  oldest  postil- 
ion in  Inspruck  drove  the  horses,  wearing 
crape  on  his  hat,  and  the  carriage  was 
trimmed  with  weeping  willow. 

—The  railway  over  the  Brenner,  leading 
from  Inspruck  to  Botzen,  leads  through 
the  most  lovely  as  well  as  grandest  scen- 
ery ;  and  as  soon  as  it  is  belter  known,  the 
journey  from  Inspruck  will  become  a  &■ 
vorite  trip  for  tourists  and  searchers  after 
the  picturesque. 

— They  have  an  unknown  athlete  in 
Paris,  who  comes  regularly  every  night  to 
one  of  the  principal  wrestling  schools, 
throws  t^e  best  man  they  have,  and  retires. 
He  is  masked,  always  wears  a  suit  of  black, 
is  silent,  and  there  is  a  great  deal  of  curi- 
osity to  know  who  he  is  and  where  he 
comes  &om 

—At  Pillau,  in  Prussia,  lives  a  woman 
who  has  for  some  years  consecrated  her

Prussian  Grace  Darling,  who  has  saved 
more  than  300  individuals,  is  held  in  the 
highest  veneration  by  all  classes  of  the 
people  among  whom  she  lives. 

— Military  teronauts  do  not  appear  to 
have  afforded  any  very  useful  results  in  the 
war  in  Paraguay.  Although  firequent 
balloon  ascensions  have  been  made,  the 
ascent  was  but  the  eiKnal  for  Marshal 
Lopez  to  order  the  kindling  of  great  fires, 
the  smoke  from  which  covered  his  camp, 
and  thus  prevented  the  allies  from  discov- 
ering what  was  going  on  therein. 

— "  The  receipts  of  the  Universal  Exhi- 
bition," says  the  Iford,  from  the  1st  of 
April  to  the  10th  of  September,  are  estima- 
ted at  seven  millions  and  a  half  of  francs. 
Therefore,  during  the  seven  weeks,  or 
nearly  so,  which  the  Exhibition  is  still  to 
remain  open,  a  million  and  a  half  of  franca 
must  bo  received  m  order  to  attain  the  sum 
of  nine  millions  required  to  cover  the  ex- 
penditure. Tliat  this  result  will  be  ob- 
tained is  not  improbable. 

— Danaeuses  have  become  scarce,  judging 
from  circulars  from  the  managers  of  cer- 
tain theatres  going  the  round  of  the  work- 
rooms of  Pans.  By  these  circulars  young 
women  are  offered  from  50f,  to  60f  per 
month  for  attendance  on  the  stage.  The 
further  inducements  are  held  out  to  them 
of  short  and  disphanua  C(^tumc3,  and 
that  the  most  deserving  among  them  (read 
the  prettiest)  will  be  grouped  on  the  front 
of  the  stage.  This  is  a  new  style  of  recruit- 
ing, but  eminently  characteristic  of  tbe 
tone  of  morale  of  the  present  day. 

— A  mendicant  living  alone  in  a  wretch 
cd  hut  at  Courbevoie,  near  Paris,  in  the 
midst  of  the  most  abject  misery  and  intol- 
erable privations,  was  lately  found  dead  on 
the  floor  of  his  filthy  hovel,  through  an 
aperture  in  which  he  would  occasionally 
protrude  his  arm  to  receive  the  food  chari- 
tably offered  him  by  some  neighbors  who 
commisserated  his  forlorn  condition.  A 
medical  examination  proved  that  the  man 
had  died  of  starvation.  A  sum  of  30f  in 
copper  coin  having  been  accidentally  found 
in  the  abode  of  human  misery,  a  further 
search  was  made,  and  immediately  under 
thereof  was  discovered,  carefully  wrapped 
up  in  many  folds  of  dirty  rags,  no  less  than 
18,000fin  gold  (£720). 

The  Paris  Pairie,  of  the  26th  of  August, 
contained  the  following :  The  preliminary 
soundings,  commenceil  four  months  ago, 
are  complete.  The  cable  will  be  laid  from 
Brest  to  St.  Pierre  Miquelon,  it  having 
been  ascertained  that  the  bottom  of  the 
ocean  along  that  line  is  favorable.  From 
St.  Pierre  it  will  go  along  the  coast  of  New 
Brunswick  and  the  shores  of  Maine,  New 
Hampshire,  Massachusetts  and  Connecti- 
cut. A  direct  lino  from  Brest  to  New 
York  would  offer  many  difficulties,  owing 
to  the  tremendous  depth  of  some  parts  of 
the  ocean,  where  soundings  have  not  been 
found.  The  immersion  of  the  cabl^%ow 
making  in  London  is  to  begin  next  May, 
and  the  Great  Eastern  is  to  be  employed 
to  lay  it.  It  is  hoped  that  a  month  will 
suffice  for  the  work,  and  that  in  July,  1888, 
at  the  farthest,  France  and  the  European 
continent  will  be  in  direct  telegraphic 
communication  with  America. 


with  commendable  emphasis :  "  Mr.  Cqu-  j 
ductor,  I  have  had  my  pocket  picked  aittae  • 
I  entered  this  car,  aad,  as  no  one  has.  got 
out,  the  thief  must  be  here.  I  want  yonli 
to  call  a  policeman  al  once  and  secuito  mj 
property."  The  ^oductpr,  In  a  How. 
drawling  tone:  "I  guess,  qium,  none  of 
the  passengers  have  got  it — you  might 
have  droppee  it  in  the  street ;  such  things 
arc  very  common  ;  wouldn't  be  any  use  to 
call  the  police.  These  passengers  all  look 
honest,  and  they'd  mtike  a  tremendous  fuss 
If  I  shut  them  up."  The  lady,  "  But  I  in- 
sist upon  it ;  the  thief  is  i»tbiB  very  car ; 
I  have  had  my  portemonnaie  in  my  hand 
sinoelttiterediL  I  inslat  that  the  pohoe 
be  called ;  it  is  my  right,  and  I  demand  it." 
At  this  point  a  short  lady,  with  a  keen, 
jumping  eye,  and  with  a  brisk  movement, 
almostleaped  from  her  seat,  and  said  very 
sharply,  "  I  declare,  it  is  really  too  bad 
that  the  conductor  will  not  call  the  police. 
If  there  is  no  gentleman  in  the  car  man 
enough  to  do  as  the  lady  wishes,  then  I 
will."  She  thereupon  made  a  rapid  exit 
from  the  car  and  shot  down  street  like  an 
arrow.    She  was  the  pickpocket.

A.  Hlameme  Execution. 

The  Baiigkok  Monitor  gives  the  follow- 
ing account  of  an  execution  at  the  Siamese 
capital :  "  At  the  time  of  our  arrival  a 
number  of  Buddha's  priests  were  in  the 
act  of  praying  over  the  swords  of  the  exe- 
cutioners, with  lights  burning  on  an  altar 
erected  immediately  in  the  rear  of  the  ex- 
ecution. After  vairious  doleful  chants  by 
the  priests,  accompanied  by  several  pieces 
of  colored  cloths,  knotted  together,  being 

[>ut  into  the  hands  of  the  condemned  and 
ed  to  the  hands  of  the  priests,  the  execu- 
tioners, who  were  employed  during  this 
time  driving  stakes  and  arranging  tbe  cords 
in  proper  position,  now  commenced  to 
take  the  ladder-shaped  bend  by  which  each 
prisoner  was  confined  from  hia  hands  and 
neck,  and  led  each  severally  to  his  stake, 
w.  ere  his  arms  and  legs  were  bound  with 
strong  withes,  and  a  bamboo  spear  erected 
in  front  of  each  to  receive  the  head  after 
execution.  Another  chant,  and  then  the 
prisoners  received  mouthtuls  of  fruits  and 
preserves,  and  some  pungent  scented  liquor 
from  a  bottle.  Their  executioners  com- 
posed their  heads  In  an  upright  position, 
and  placed  small  joss  lights  before  them  ; 
and  to  all  scemiag  recommended  them  to 
pray,  which  they  did  fervently ;  but  their 
executioners  crawling,  catlike,  from  the 
covered  walks  behind,  pinched  and  nudged 
the  backs  of  their  heads,  to  see  if  their 
presence  of  mind  would  allow  them  to  re- 
ceive the  fatal  blows  without  moving  their 
hCAds.  This  being  ascertained,  their  ears 
were  immediately  filled  with  mud.  and  a 
mark  made  on  the  neck  of  each  convert 
with  the  same  material,  .to  guide  the  com- 
ing stroke,  including  a  repetition  of  the 
nudging  and  pinching.  All  being  now 
ready,  the  cxecuti<  ncrs  again  stole  from 
the  covered  walk  int  'le  rear,  each  flourish} 
ing  his  sword  ;  and  ^  ow  tbe  blows  began 
to  fall.  One  old  hano  •  c  well  performed 
his  duty  that  his  victim!:.  I'lead  rolled  at  his 
feet  the  first  stroke,  but  all  the  rest  took 
an  amount  of  chopping  and  sawing  which 
had  thecfl'ect  of  oisgusting  away  most  ot 
the  white  spectators  who  came  to  witness 
the  horrifying  spectacle.  The  heads  of 
the  condemned  were  now  erected  on 
spears.  One  old  man's,  we  noticed,  kept 
its  ensanguined  jaws  open  and  moving 
several  seconds  after  death.  The  chains 
were  now  removed  from  their  legs  by 
chopping  off  the  heel  ends  of  each  lifeless 
trunk,  and  we  came  away  with  disgusted 
and  enervated  feelings  from  this  sanguina- 
ry scene."

THE  FATHER- IN  law  IS  AVERSE,  BUT  THE 
BRIDE  STILL  CLINOS,  AM)  IF  SHE  IS  SAT- 
ISFIED, what's  the  difference. 
A  person  was  brought  before  the  Police 
Court  at  Syracuse  the  other  day,  on  a 
charge  of  wearing  male  apparel  while 
being  a  female,  of  making  love  to  the  Sy- 
racuse belles  "on  false  pretenses,"  and 
marrying  a  woman,  etc.  There  is  no 
doubt  of  her  femininity,  though  her  coun- 
terfeit of  a  man  is  said  to  have  been  per- 
fect. She  is  English,  is  supposed  to  be 
about  forty  years  of  age,  went  under  the 
name  of  Alfred  Clark,  and  received  re- 
mittances from  England,  part  of  which 
goes  to  the  support  of  a  sister  in  Syracuse. 
In  reply  to  the  question,  "  Are  you  a  male 
or  female  ?  "  she  answered :  "  Your  officers 
can  tell  you,"  or  "  have  told  you."  She 
refused  to  give  any  more  direct  answer  to 
the  inquiry  in  relation  to  her  sex,  and  was 
committed  for  further  examination. 

▲  few  weeks  since  she  assumed  the  garb 
of  a  man,  and  made  the  acquaintance  of  a 
young  lady  named  Miss  Lewis.  After  a 
brief  courtship  they  were  married,  and  the 

Earties  have  since  resided  together  as  hus- 
and  and  wife.  The  marriage  ceremony 
was  performed  about  three  weeks  since, 
and  the  bride's  father,  suspecting  there 
was  something  wrong  about  his  new  son- 
in-law,  obtained  a  private  interview,  and 
informed  her  of  his  suspicion  that  she  was 
not  what  she  pretended  to  be.  At  first  she 
claimed  that  she  was  a  man,  but  on  closer 

?[ue8tionlng  finally  admitted  that  she  was  a 
emale.  She  has  marked  features,  promi- 
nent nose,  high  cheek  bones,  bUu^  hair, 
worn  long  (for  a  man)  and  curling  at  the 
end,  and  apparently  brushed  and  oiled 
with  care.  She  wears  a  glazed  cap,  blue 
coat,  blue  shirt,  dark  vest,  snuff-colored 
pants,  gaiter  boots,  and  a  shawl  over  her 
shoulders,  speaks  with  considerable  confi- 
dence, but  is  not  very  communicative. 

It  is  understood  that  when  this  eccentric 
woman  first  came  to  the  house  of  the 
bnde's  father  she  was  dressed  in  female 
apparel,  and  her  clothing  was  changed  to 
man's  attire  with  the  Knowledge  of  the 
fisunily.  The  probability  is  that  the  family 
supposed  her  woman's  dress  was  a  disguise, 
and  that  she  was  assuming  the  proper  ha- 
biliments of  her  sex.  The  lady's  £ather 
was  averse  to  the  match,  but  the  bride 
clings  to  her  woman  husband,  and  claims 
that  the  arrest  is  a  conspiracy  against 
them.  They  were  allowed  to  meet  in  one 
of  the  ante-rooms  ot  the  police  office,  and 
embraced  each  other  with  the  greatest 
marks  of  affection.

A  Horse  Car  Incident. 

The  horse  car  is  the  witness  of  varied 
life  and  incident,  which  are  often  not  only 
interestmg,  but  worthy  the  compUment  of 
a  little  printer's  ink.  An  incident  occurred 
in  Boston  on  Saturday,  which  is  deserrhig 
of  a  paragraph.  A  lady  passen^  discov- 
ered that  her  pooket  had  been  picked  of  its 
portemonnaie  and  contents,  induding  a 
generous  supply  of  cash  for  shopping  and 
some  other  pleasant  possessicms.  On 
learning  this  disagreeable  fishct,  she  said, 


The   correspondent   of  the    St.    Louis 
DenuKrat  was  one  of  the  invited  guests  at 
a  dog  feast    given    by    tho    Indian    chief 
"  Spotted    Tail."    He    thus   c^cscribcs  the 
svmposium : 

"  As  the  occasion  was  one  which  prom- 
ised novelty  we  readily  accepted.  On  our 
arrival  we  found  the  supplies  of  Indian 
delicacies  commensurate  with  the  quality 
of  the  guests.  The  cooking  was  simple 
enough,  without  salt  or  condiment.  We 
all  squatted  ourselves  on  the  ground,  and 
the  old  and  young  squaws  acted  as  servi- 
tors for  the  occasion . 

"  Before  proceeding,  the  great  calumet 
ot  peace  was  passed  around.  Whenever 
this  calumet  is  brought  forth  it  is  a  token  of 
great  respect,  adorned  as  it  is  with  brass 
tacks,  blue  and  golden  feathers,  beads  of 
coral,  and  carved  in  the  most  unique  man- 
ner. After  the  pipe  had  been  passed 
around  the  circle,  the  chief  commenced  the 
feast  by  eating,  regardless  of  any  of  us. 

"  There  was  all  kinds  ot  wild  meat  spread 
out,  and  the  most  delicious  of  them  all  was 
the  dog  meat.  In  huge  dishes  of  wotxl 
might  bo  seen  a  juicy  lump  of  buffalo,  a 
hindqtiarterof  an  antelope,  elk  meat,  veni- 
son, wild  duckp,  geese,  and  turkeys,  sur- 
rounded by  dishes  of  wild  beans,  Indian 
corn,  wild  rice,  and  some  strange  herbs, 
which  appeared  to  be  very  palatable. 
These  various  vegetables  were  boiled 
separately  with  a  sprinkling  of  buffato 
grease,  giving  the  whole  an  extremely 
unctlous,  yet  savory  appearance 

"  In  the  centre  of  the  circle  were  two 
dogs,  of  a  dropsical  apparance,  the  hair 
merely  cut  close,  and  roasted  entire,  intcs 
tines  and  all  Over  this  excellent,  delicate 
food  was  poured  the  gravy — dog's  grease. 
This  exquisite  dripping  had  been  collected 
in  bone  dishes.  The  dogs  appeared  plump 
and  yotmg,  and  all  seemed  to  pay  especial 
attention  to  the  three  young  pups,  which 
was  to  them  what  dessert  is  to  the  civil- 
ized whites.  For  the  sake  of  appearing 
satisfied  with  our  surroundings,  we  par- 
took of  a  very  small  piece,  merely  out  of 
curiosity,  and  could  we  but  conquer  our 
prejudicee,  we  might  have  made  a  very 
hearty  meal ;  as  It  was,  we  were  satisfied. 

"  "Hie  meat  appeared  to  be  of  a  brown- 
ish color,  somewhat  lesembling  porpoise 
meat.  If  we  might  judge  by  the  oily 
streaks  about  the  capacious  mouths  of  the 
chiefs,  and  the  pleasure  which  sparkled  in 
their  eyes,  we  would  [pronounce  dog  meat 
delicious. 

"  After  the  feast  was  over  there  were 
three  canine  skeletons  left  on  their  respec- 
tive dishes,  forlcm  looking  remnants  of 
dogs  that  once  barked.  Tomahawks,  an- 
swering the  purpose  of  pipes,  as  well  as 
instruments  of  bloody  deeds,  were  handed 
to  us,  and  as  this  was  an  important  epoch 
in  Spotted  Tail's  life,  he  caused  them  to  be 
fiUea  with  the  leaf  of  nicotiang  quadrival- 
vis.  Generally,  the  tobacco  they  use  is 
composed  of  the  dried  leaves  of  the  saka- 
koml  plant  (arbutus  ovaursi),  or  kinikin- 
nlck,  a  willow  bark.  Till  a  late  hour  we 
smoked  a  tomahawk  that  was  once  steep- 
ed in  gory  brains,  and  under  the  soothing 
influence  of  the  tobacco,  wove  bright  In- 
dian legends." 

The  Laugh  of  Womex. — A  woman  has 
no  natural  gift  more  bewitching  than  a 
sweet  laugh.  It  is  like  the  sound  of  flutes 
on  the  water.  It  leaps  Ttoto.  her  in  a  clear, 
sparkling  rill ;  and  the  heart  that  hears  it 
fuels  as  If  bathod  in  the  cool,  exhilarating 
spring.  Have  vou  ever  pursued  an  unseen 
fugitive  through  the  trees,  led  on  by  a  fairy 
laugh,  now  here,  now  there,  now  lost,  now 
found?  We  have;  and  we  are  pursuing 
that  wandering  voice  to  this  day.  Some- 
times It  comes  to  us  in  the  midst  of  care, 
or  sorrow,  or  irksome  business,  and  then 
we  turn  away  and  listen,  and  here  it  ring- 
ing away  the  evil  spirits  of  mind.  How 
much  we  owe  to  that  sweet  laugh !  It  turns 
prose  ;o  poetry  \  it  flings  flowers  to  sun- 
shine over  the  darkness  of  the  wood  in 
which  we  are  traveling ;  it  touches  with 
light  even  our  sleep,  which  is  bo  matt 
than  the  image  of  death,  but  is  consumed 
with  dreams  that  are  the  shadows  of  Im- 
mortaUty.

A  SEK^  Ol^XNXERaBTXJib  EXrE^t^CBitls. 

While  cholera  \an  riiging  iii  Esgland 
last  year,  tlfe  medi^ia  offlcer  of  tfte  Privy 
Councfi,  ia^view  df  the  uncertainty  pre. 
vailing  e«|tsfeany  joints  connected  with  the 
disease,  and  the  principles  on  which  it 
ought  to  be  treated,  obtained  the  sanction 
of  the  Privy  Council  to  orgamze  methodi- 
cal attempts,  "  by  the  researches  and  ob- 
servations of  skilled  persons,  to  narrow.  If 
possible,  tbe  limits  of  those  large  un- 
certainties." One  of  these  branches  of  in- 
quiry was  "the  veriflcation  of  alleged ex- 
perimentia  prooft  of  the  commnnkmility 
of  cholera,''^  and  it  was  intrusted  to  Dr. 
Btndon  Sbmderson,  whose  report  thereon 
is  appended  to  the  ninth  annual  report  of 
the  medical  officer  of  the  Privy  Council 
recently  published. 

Dr.  Sanderson  has  just  made  his  report, 
which  includes  the  results  of  some  inter- 
esting experiments  upon  animalp,  following 
the  course  adopted  In  1854  by  Dr.  Thiersch. 
Strips  of  filter  paper  were  steeped  In  the 
cholera  matter  at  certain  intervals  after  its 
removal  from  the  body  during  life,  or  after 
death,  and  from  these  papers  (when  dry) 
the  quantity  of  solid  matter  taken  up  by 
each  strip  was  determined  by  the  dif- 
ference in  weight  before  and  after  immer- 
sion. The  material  was  thus  obtained  in 
every  stage  of  decomposition,  and  in  a 
form  for  administration  in  extremely  small 
quantities.  The  animals  selected  tor  ex- 
periment were  white  mice. 

Altogether  148  mice  were  operated  upon, 
and  of  these  53  were  more  or  less  affected 
and  31  died.  Dr.  Sanderson  thinks  that 
although  the  Infective  power  of  the  poison 
was  greatest  in  the  third  stage  of  Its  de- 
composition, yet  in  some  instances  its  foil 
virulence  was  manifest  on  the  second  day, 
notably  in  the  experiments  for  testing  the 
communicability  of  the  disease  from  one 
animal  to  another,  wherein  out  of  27  ani- 
mals operated  upon,  14  became  ill  and  13 
died.  The  material  used  in  these  oases  was 
administered  within  48  hours  of  the  death 
of  the  animal  from  which  it  was  taken. 

The  cholera  matter  having  killed  one 
series  of  mice,  it  was  found  that  the  bodies 
of  these  animals,  when  devoured  by  a  sec- 
ond series,  communicated  the  original  form 
of  disease  in  undiminished  lurulcnce,  the 
mortality  raging  as  high  as  fifty-seven  per 
cent.  Carrying  on  tbe  experiment  to  a  third 
series,  a  mortality  of  fifty  per  cent,  re- 
sulted. "We  have,  therefore,"  says  Dr. 
Sanderson,  "evidence  that  the  disease  pro- 
duced in  mice  by  the  administration  of 
cholera  material  in  small  doses,  can  be 
readily  communicated  from  the  affected 
animals  toothers  of  the  same  species,  and 
that  when  so  communicated  it  la  quite  as 
fatal  as  when  received  primarily. 

As  regards  tho  phenoraera  of  choltra 
infliction  In  mice  during  life,  the  most  con- 
stant indication  that  an  animal  was  under 
tho  Influence  of  the  poison  was  tho  loss  of 
mobility  and  excitability. 

"  At  first  the  animal  remains  quiet,  as  if 
listless  or  drowsy,  but  it  can  be  easily 
roused  into  activity ;  subsec^uently  all  re- 
action ceases.  Whenever  this  condition  of 
collapse  exists  in  a  well  marked  degree,  it 
13  found  that  tbe  temperature  ot  the  body 
i:^  correspondingly  diminished.  Thus  in 
animals  so  affected,  readings  of  the  ther- 
mometer were  obtained  as  much  as  twenty 
degrees  below  the  natural  standard.  So 
extraordinary  a  loss  of  temperature  seemed 
at  first  so  Incredible  that  I  was  inclined  to 
believe  that  some  error  of  observation  had 
been  committed,  but  repeated  measure- 
ments confirmed  the  accuracy  of  the  re- 
sults. In  general  a  very  low  temperature 
was  a  certain  precursor  of  death,  but  In  two 
remarkable  instances  recovery  took  place 
after  the  animals  had  remained  motionless 
and  apparently  lifeless,  with  a  temperature 
below  80  degrees  for  more  than  a  day." 

Dr.  Sanderson's  experiments  with  f;uinea 
pigs,  hedgehogs,  pigeons,  and  dog?,  do  not 
appear  to  have  pelded  any  important  sum  of 
results.  But  Mr.  Simon,  In  a  comment  on 
the  report  remarks : 

"  The  Importance  of  the  agent  as  against 
one  sort  of  animal  is  no  disproof  of  Its 
virulence  against  other  sorts.  The  positive 
result  of  Tniersch's  original  experiments 
on  mice,  and  of  the  experiments  of  Drs. 
Sanderson  and  Thirsch,  would  retain 
their  full  value  in  regard  to  the  animals  ex- 
perimented on,  even  if  all  other  animals 
should  prove  unsusceptible  of  the  influence; 
and  that  value,  in  explanation  of  the  facts 
of  human  infection,  is,  in  my  opmion, con- 
clusive.         ^.^  _

sends  the  following  account  of  the  general 
enaployment  of  females : 

The  women,  by  the  way,  do  nearly  all 
the  trading  in  Ireland.  At  our  hotel  a 
woman  shows  you  to  your  room,  you  p<iy 
your  bill  to  a  woman,  and  you  are  politely 
bowed  out  of  the  house  by  the  housekeep- 
er. It  is  rare  to  find  a  retail  store  in  Cork 
where  a  female  is  not  seen  behinc  the 
counter.  We  are  told  that  the  same  thing 
prevails  throughout  the  British  provinces. 
The  reason  given  for  employing  them  is 
that  theii  foUles  are  not  only  less  numer- 
ous, but  much  lower  priced.  Females 
may  sport  fifty-dollar  mantles,  but  they 
never  go  on  fifty  dollar  "  busts."  Females 
never  spend  a  whole  week's  wages  on  bil- 
liard tables.  Girls  never  "  put  the  party 
through,"  kick  up  a  row,  ani  get  dragged 
to  the  station  house.  Fast  horses  they 
avoid,  and  roulette  tables  and  game  cocks. 
Who  ever  saw  a  female  hanging  round  a 
gambling  table,  or  betting  her  last  five 
dollars  that  she  can  tell  where  the  "  little 
joker"  is?  Whoever  saw  a  female  clerk, 
after  the  store  was  shut,  rambling  up 
Broadway,  "  raising  thunder,"  and  break- 
ing things?  Whoever  saw  a  respectable 
girl  knocking  over  dry  goods  boxes  and 
standing  "SI.  P.'s"  on  their  heads?  No 
one,  and  yet  respectable  young  men  do 
these  things  nightly.  When  was  a  female 
clerk  ever  arrested  for  having  a  "  suspi- 
cious character  "  locked  up  in  the  store 
with  her  after  midnight  ?  In  view  of  all 
these  facts,  is  it  any  wonder  that  the  mer- 
chants on  this  side  run  to  female  clerks  t

Kinc  Dacobert**  EflTVa* 


The  Paris  correspondent  of  ihi^Natwn, 
states  that  the  guests  of  the  Abbe  Dehis, 
curate  ot  the  parish  of  St.  Eloi,  in  the 
Faubourg  St.  Antonie  dined  a  few  days  ago 
on  fowls  whose  immediate  ancestor?  fig- 
ured, he  says,  on  the  table  of  the  great 
Prankish  King  Dagobert.  When  the  Abbe 
Denis  laid  the  first  stone  of  the  church  and 
presbytery  he  had  built  by  his  own  exer- 
tions, on  the  site  of  the  old  chateau  and 
gardens  of  Dagobert,  a  hen's  nest  full  of 
eggs  was  discovered  beneath  the  ruins  ot 
the  ancient  building.  These  eggs,  more 
than  twelve  hundred  years  old,  were  about 
to  be  thrown  away  by  the  laborers,  when 
the  Abbe,  lemembering  that  wheat  has 
been  grown  from  grain  found  in  Egypt,  in 
mummies,  dating  back  from  the  time  of 
the  Pharaohs,  bethought  him  that  possibly 
there  might  still  be  life  in  these  eggs.  A 
savant  of  the  institute,  coosaltcd  at  once 
in  reference  to  these  precious  reUra  of  an 
age  when  there  was,  as  yet,  no  France  to 
detest  "  Perfidious  Albion"  or  to  be  jeal- 
ous of  Prussia  and  needle  guas,  advised 
their  being  forthwith  confided  to  a  hen  of 
approved  success  in  the  material  capacity. 
This  advice  having  been  acted  upon,  the 
good  cure  and  his  friends  had  the  delight 
of  witnessing,  twenty-one  days  afterward, 
the  hatching  of  a  fine  brood  of  chickens,  the 
direct  progeny  of  the  denizens  of  King 
Dagobert's  bam  yard.  The  fcwls  thus  ob- 
Uined  have  been  carefully  kept  from  any 
misalliance  with  their  congeners  of  less 
ancient  blood ;  and  tiie  Abbe  has  now  a 
yard  so  well  repknSshed  with  "  King  Dago- 
bert  fowls"  tut  he  not  only  suppUes  his 
own  larder  with  poultry  of  this  iDustnous 
breed,  but  is  about  to  oretmiae,  at  the  sag^ 
gestion  of  ntimerous  friends,  a  sale  of 
"  King  Dagobert  eggs"  for  the  benefit  of 
the  poor  of  his  pansh. 


I  approach  you  in  a  timid  frame  of  mind 
to  day,  with  a  few  hesitating  words  on  the 
subject  of  hotel  clerks. 

And  I  appMl  to  you,  O  omniscience,  Is 
there  a  greater  person  on  earth  than  the 
hotel  clerk? 

I  have  come  to  the  conclusion  there  is 

not. 

Earthly  p<5lehtate8,  ^Moiophers,  warri- 
ors and  poets  dwarf  in  compa^-iso:;. 

My  eyes  are  open  to  the  enormity  of  my 
ignorannce  and  I  freely  own  that  I  did 
wrong  in  asking  that  young  man,  with  the 
nice  hair  and  stunning  vest,  if  he  would 
gfve  me  a  room  on  the  second  floor.  I  do 
not  blame  him  that  he  looked  at  me 
through  hM  eye-glasses,  with  a  tooth-pick 
in  hia  mouth,  for  ten  minutes:  that  he 
then  said  be  would  be  bade  in  a  minute 
and  went  ofl"  to  play  billiards ;  that  he  was 

fonc  half  an  hour  and  came  back  and  read 
alf  a  dozen  notes  ftom  widows  In  the 
house ;  that  he  then  looked  up  and  asked 
me  what  I  wanted ;  and  that  he  sent  me 
to  the  flfth  story.  All  this  1  ought  to  have 
expected. 

But  the  look  he  gave  me  was  cruel.  The 
glance  which  commenced  at  the  top  of  my 
hat  and  went  to  the  toe  of  my  boot,  was  too 
much.  Was  it  not  enough  to  evinee  his 
superiority  by  ordering  me  to  the  fifth 
story  ?  Why  cxi)Ose  me  to  that  cbllllne 
look  ?  I  know  that  I  should  have  begged 
that  nice  young  man's  pardon  for  speaking 
to  him,  but  one  cannot  ajways  remember 
hotel  etiquette. 

And  I  went  up  to  my  den  in  the  fifth 
story  thoroughly  convinced  that  I  had  no 
rights  a  hoteTclerk  was  bound  to  respect, 
and  I  did  not  care  to  look  at  him  after  that, 
and  1  paid  my  bill  through  the  proxy  ol  a 
man  and  a  brother  who  knew  the  hotel 
clerk  better  than  I  did. 

Next  to  being  Chan  oi  Tartary,  or  Ty- 
coon of  Japan,!  would  be  a  hotel  clerk. 
He  is  an  object  of  interest  only  second  to 
Barnum's  gorilla— a  being  so  far  elevated 
above  the  petty  strifes  and  cares  ot  the 
world  that  he  can  look  down  from  his  alti- 
tude upon  us  all  and  smilingly  consign  us 
to  the  devil  if  it  so  please  him— a  com- 
pound of  arrogance,  self-complacency, 
don't-care-a-cuasativeness,  and  utter  disre- 
gard of  ordinary  human  beings,  so  strong- 
ly compounded  that  it  becomes  sublime. 

And  I  always  revere  sublimity  of  this 
description,  when  he  sent  me  to  the  fifth 
story  with  a  carpet  bag  in  each  hand,  I 
did  not  complain.  I  kissed  the  hand  that 
smote. 

All  that  he  does  is  done  with  an  air  of 
superiority.  Do  you  desire  to  ascertain 
what  time  the  train  departs  ?  He  refers 
you  to  the  office  of  the  company,  and  don't 
know  where  it  is.  Do  you  want  to  know 
where  Bangs  &  Co.  do  business?  He 
waves  you  to  a  directory  of  some  other  city 
and  replaces  his  whole  mind  on  his  tooth- 
pick. Ask  him  for  some  tickets  to  an  eve- 
ning's performance  at  the  theatre,  and  he 
will  crush  you  with  a  glance,  as  much  as 
to  say,  do  I  look  like  a  man  in  a  box- 
offlce? 

He  is  master  ot  all  he  surveys,  absolute 
in  his  sway,  wonderful  in  his  make  up, 
express  and  admirable  in  his  functions. 
He  knows  everybody,  and  has  a  front  seat 
at  the  opera.  When  he  puts  his  whole 
mind  on  a  carpet  bag  he  can  tell  at  a 
glance  whether  it  contains  a  shirt  and  a 
toothbrush  or  a flrst-class  trousseau,  and 
he  can  grade  men  into  their  rooms  by 
their  cx)at  buttons  with  the  utmost  ease. 

Ordinary  impudence  usually  gets  snub- 
bod,  but  there  does  not  live  a  man  with 
courage  enough  to  snub  the  hotel  clerk. 
His  impudence  is  allied  to  genius.  It  has 
taken  him  years  to  reach  It,  and  the  pain- 
ful hours  of  study  he  has  given  to  the 
characteristics  of  the  tooth-pick  arc  some- 
thing wonderful  to  think  of. 

When  I  retire  from  the  pomps  and  vani- 
ties of  this  world.  O  Tnburu,  and  have  no 
further  interest  in  sublunary  matters,  I 
hope  to  be  a  hotel  clerk.  I  can  conceive 
of  no  epitaph  more  impressive  than  the 
touching  words — "  He  was  a  hotey;lerk."

From  tho  New  York  Sun,  Oct.  10. 
Throughout  the  day,  yesterday,  the  es- 
tablishment of  Mr.  Brady,  609  Broadway, 
was  thronged  with  visitors,  the  most  of 
whom,  as  on  former  days,  had  been  at- 
tracted thither  in  order  to  gratify  their 
curiosity  by  an  inspection  of  the  dresses 
and  other  articles  belonging  to  Mrs.  Lin- 
coln, which  are  there  exhibited  for  sale. 
Ind(!ed,    the  'crowd  which  called  at  the 
rooms  yesterday  greatly  exceeded  in  num- 
ber that  of  any  former  day  since  the  re- 
ceipt of  the  goods,  the  spacious  exhibition 
rooms  being  packed  to  suffocation,  especi- 
ally during  the  afternoon,  when  no  less 
than  one  thousand  visitors  were  in  constant 
attendance  at  the  apartments.    The  visitors 
are  confined  to  no  particular  class  of  the 
community,    well-dressed    exquisites  and 
fashionably-attired  females  ot    Fifth  and 
Madison  avenues  mingling  with  the  plain 
ly.clad  mechanic  and  unpretending  shop 
girl,  all  of  whom  arc  allowed  an  equal 
privilege  ot  handhng,  tossing  and  mixing 
the  shawls  and  dresses — a  privilege  which 
they  have  not  been  slow  to  improve,  as  is 
testified  by  the  crumpled  appearance  of 
some  of  the  articles.     Among  the  visitors 
who  called  at  the  rooms  yesterday  after- 
noon, were  Baron  Von  Kusseron,  of  the 
Prussian  Legation,  Hon.  Daniel E.  Sickles, 
Mile.  Guiscp'pina  Morlacchi,  tho  danseuse, 
and  other  notables.    With  the  exception 
of  one  or  two  of  the  cheapest  dresses,  two 
shawls,  including  one  camel's  hair,  and  a 
few  minor  pieces  of  jewelry,  none  of  the 
articles  have  as  yet  been  disposed  of,  the 
valuable  shawls  still  occupying  their  posi- 
tions across  the  back  of  the  chairs ;  the  five 
silk  and  satin  dresses  still  lying  wnnkled 
with  constant  handling,  upon  the  sofa ;  the 
cheipcr   dresses  lying  In  a  promiscuous 
heap  upon  the  piano,  and  which  the  com- 
bined eflbrts  of  the  two  female  attendants 
are  insufficient  to  keep  in  order  ;  and  the 
valuable  point  lace  sbunwls,  diamonds  and 
furs,  still  remain  untouched  in  the  show 
cases.    During  a  conversation  between  Mr. 
Brady  and  a  Sun  reporter  yesterday,  the 
former  stated  that  he  had  despaired  of  ever 
selling  the  goods  at  private  sale,  attribut- 
ing the  dilitoriness  to  the  high  figures  at 
which  the  articles  had  been  priced  by  ilrs. 
Lincoln,   who   doubtless   had   calculated 
more  upon  the  historical  interest  attached 
to  the  goods,  than  their  real  value  for 
wearing  purposes.     Regarding  the  second 
invoice  of  goods,  which  Mrs.lancoln  had 
contemplated  sending  to  Mr.  Brady  from 
Chicago,  the  gentleman  stated  that,  owing 
to  the  difficulty  experienced  in  disposing 
of  the  lot  at  present  on  hand,  no  further 
consignments  would  be  made. 


signed  to  run  Dciween  vievcnmu  and  Chi- 
cago, and  called  respectively  "  The  Forest 
City"  and  "Tbe  Garden  City."    The  for- 
mer of  these  being  on  exhibition  at  Al- 
bany, on  Thursday,  Sept.  19,  we  availed 
ourselves  of  an  opportunity  to  examine 
the  Chariot  Palace.    Glancing  at  the  ex- 
terior, we  remark  on  each  side  five  plate- 
fjlass  windows,  each  a  single  pane  nearly 
OUT  feet  square,  and  sixteen  smaller  ones, 
arranged  beneath  as  so  many  ventilators. 
Entering,  we  find  the  interior  arrange- 
ment very  ingenious.    From  the  door  at 
each  end  of  the  car  runs  an  aisle  termina- 
ting in  a  grand,  central  saloon,  ten  feet 
square,  carpeted  with  an  exquisite  Axmin- 
ster  rug,  and  furnished  with  consummate 
elegance  and  taste.    The  prevailinc  color 
is  blue ;  the  wood-work  rosewood,  with 
costly  inlayings.    Two   settees,  with  four 
easy  chairs  of  curious  design,  four  mir- 
rors,    inlaid    paper- racks,    semicircular 
marble  brackets,  surmounted  by  miniature 
etagcres,  and  a  rich  center  table,  complete 
the   furniture  of  the  room.    We  notice, 
also,     bronze     medallions,     monograms 
wrought  in  various  woods,  and  an  inlaid 
ceiling  of  white  holly  wood,  gilded  chande- 
lier, sliver  water-pitcher,  &c.,  &c.    On  one 
side  of   this  central  saloon  is  a  room  cush- 
ioned  in  sliver  leather,  and  in  a  corres- 
ponding   position    opposite,    another    in 
green,  but  similar  in  arrangement.    Each 
apariment  has  two  settees  and  two  easy 
chairs,  with  a  center  table.    In  the  silver 
room  the  wood-work  is  of  rosewood,  black 
walnut,  curled  maple,  and  satin  wood  ;  in 
the  green  room,  birdseye  maple,  .ralnut, 
and  rosewood.    Beyond  these  apartments 
stand  on  one  end  of  the  car  the  golden 
room,  and  on  the  other  the  purple  room. 
Each  has  settees,  so  adjusted  that  by  de- 
taching the  cuds,  a  party  may  surround  a 
table,  which,  made  with  elaborate  inlaid 
work,  may  be  rolled  into  the  center  of  the 
room  and  unfolded.    Here  are  mirrors  set 
in  bronze  frames,  bronze  racks  for  light 
baggage,  and  every  convenience  which  can 
promote  a  traveler's    comfort    and    case. 
Both  these  superb  cars  are  nothing  less 
than  palaces  on  wheels,  and  In  every  way 
are    deserving    the    high    distinction     of 
bringing  near  together  the  metropolis  of 
the  West  and  the  most  beautiful  city  of 
the  Union. — New  York  Tribune.

Desperation  of  an  Office  (>iceker. 

A  patriotic  citizen  anxious  to  serve  his 
country,  has  for  a  long  time  been  trying  to 
get  some  one  to  help  him  to  a  place  in  the 
Boston  Custom  House.  He  made  numer- 
ous applications,  t)ut  the  right  influence 
could  not  be  obtained.  At  last  a  friend 
told  him  that  a  letter  from  a  well-known 
dentist  would  "  fix  him  all  right."  The 
office  seeker  and  dentist  had  been  acquain- 
tances, but  had  not  met  for  many  years. 
Our  hero  took  a  station  near  the  office  of 
the  operator,  intending  to  intenept  him  in 
his  passage  in  or  out.  After  a  few  days 
the  "waits"  l>crame  tedious,  and  the  pro- 
prietor had  not  been  seen,  neither  was 
there  among  his  patrons  any  one  who 
could  be  approached.  At  last,  m  a  fit  of 
desperation,  and  seeing  no  alternative,  he 
resolved  to  part  with  a  tooth  and  secure 
his  letter.  "The  magnitude  of  his  sacrifice 
may  be  inferred  from  the  fact  that  his 
stock  of  grinders  was  limited  to  five.  He 
had  the  molar  extracted,  and  then  made 
known  his  errand.  The  demist  gave  him 
a  letter  to  the  Collector,  which  he  deliver- 
ed. He  was  met  with  the  cheering  infor- 
mation that  tbe  applicants  were  several 
hundreds  and  m*  po'-ltions  open.  His  feel- 
ings at  finding  that  the  vacancy  in  his  jaw 
haA  failed  to  give  him  an  opportunity  to 
ffil  a  vacancy  at  the  receipt  of  customs 
may  be  imagined  but  cannot  be  described. 
An  excruciating  toothache  would  have 
been  ecstacy  in  comparison.

As  a  weary  traveler   was  wending 

hU  way  thronjfh  tbe  mud  In  a  far-weat  region  of 
the  country,  he  dlBCovered  a  youcjj  maiden  seated 
In  front  of  the  door  of  a  ?mall  lo^  house.  He  rode 
up  in  front  of  the  c  abln,  and  aKked  the  girl  far  a 
drink  of  water.  lie  drank  it,  and,  aho  Being  the 
first  woman  he  had  seen  for  Beverel  days,  oncred 
her  a  dime  for  a  kits.  The  young  maiden  accept- 
ed the  offer,  and  rec«ived  both  t£e  kiss  aiid  the 
dime.  The  traveler  was  about  to  resume  his 
journey,  but  the  girl,  never  before  having  aeen  a 
dime,  aaked :  "  What  am  I  to  do  with  the  dime  ?" 
"You  may  use  it  any  way  you  wUh,"  he  replied, 
"  It  la  yours."  "If  that's  the  case,"  aatd  she, 
"I'll  ffive  yon  back  the  dime  and  take  another 
kiss."

1!. ,  ..  -.  il  strango  that  I  liad  never  noticed 
thill  ~Uel  before;  but  it  was  not  strange, 
III  trhildrcu  think  anything  about  their 
parent's  or  guardians'  lx)ks,  except  that 
.  be  pleasant  or  unpleasant,  and  I  was 
.  :  .1  more  than  a  child.  Ever  since  I 
ct.'uld  remcuQber,  Aunt  Katharine,  with 
her  dark  dreaa,  smooth  hair,  and  gentle 
-.  had  taken  care  ot  me  ;  and  wnen  I 
grew  iut<5  a  tall  girl  of  fifteen,  old  enough 
to  go  to  kissing  parties  and  have  young 
l.vaux,  sho  watched  over  me  still.  She  was 
my  mother,  my  companion,  my  friend,  i 
ucver  realized  my  orphanage  or  want  of 
other  kin,  but  had  been  the  same  carcle.s.s, 
li^ht  hearted,  merry  girl  ever  since  I  could 
remomber,  that  I  wao  on  the  Juno  morn- 
ing I  watched  her  at  work  in  the  sunlight. 
She  l">Aiii!  up  at  last.

"What,  child"?" 

"  Why  you  never  were  married." 
"  Because  1  never  liked  anybody  well 
enough  to  marry  him.    Now  go  and  get 
ready  for  school. ' 

She  smiled  as  she  spoke,  and  after  a 
glance  at  her  lace  I  smiled,  too,  and  ran  oil 
up  stairs  to  get  my  bonnet  and  satchel. 
Coming  down  stairs  again,  I  put  my  head 
lo  at  the  sitting  foom  door. 
"  Aunt  KalharLcey" 
"WeU:"

"  If  you  found  anybody  you  liked 
enough  wouldn't  you  marry  him '/" 

"1  don't  know— I  suppose  so.  Why, 
what  in  the  world  haa  got  into  your  heail, 

Addie?" 

1  laughed,  slammed  the  door  and  bound- 
ed through  the  hall  into  the  road.  Halt 
way  to  the  school  house  I  met  my  teacher, 
Mr.  Charles  Devereux. 

"  Good  morning,  Mis«  Addle.  Recila 
tionsall  ready?" 

"  Yes,  sir,"  I  answertd,  and  ho  passed 
on  ah«ad.  1  sauntered  on  slowly,  think- 
ing of  my  aunt  Katharine.  I  thought  it 
would  be  a  nice  plan  lor  her  to  be  mar- 
rid.  The  next  thounht  was,  who  would 
ghe  marry  V 

There  were  only  half  a  dozen  unmarriotl 
nxi  d  men  in  the  village.      Aunt 

Ka.  wastwenty-scvcn,  and  of  course 

ahe  would't  marr>'  a  very  young  man.  1 
rapidly  enumerated  the  half  dozen  eligible 
ouM  and  their  suitability  for  my  plan. 
Lawyer  Hyde,  thirty,  rich,  aristocratic  and 
stingy.  Mr.  Leighton, thirtyhve,  hand- 
some, good,  well-off  but  a  widower ;  and 
I've  heard  aunl  Katharine  say  she  did  not 
like  widowers.  Mr,  Picrson,  twenty  eight, 
handsome,  wealthy,  but  too  last ;  she 
would  not  like  him.  Dr.  Jarvis,  thirty -six, 
small,  crabbed,  miserable,  and  unbearable 
generally.  Mr.  Howe,  tco  homely  to  be 
Ihought'of ;  and  Captain  Haynes,  with  his 

Jellow,  bushy  whiskers,  and  nine  thousand 
ollars  worth  of  mortgaged  property,  which 
he  is  always  talking  about,  worse  yet. 
Rither  a  sorry  array. 

Just  then  the  8oh>xl-bell  rang,  and  1 
went  In  to  my  books  and  Mr.  Charles  Dev- 
ereux— a^a-d  twenty-eight,  handsome,  intel- 
ligent, wuu-educated  and  unmarried.  The 
cwss  in  intellectual  philosophy  was  called 
tiist,  and  I  thought.I  had  carefully  commit 
led  my  lesson  to  memory  the  evening  be- 
fore, my  late  thoughts  had  quite  driven  all 
remembrance  of  it  from  my  head,  and  rny 
1  :.  was  imperfect.      Mr.    Uevereux 

.rprisedly  at  me,  but  said  nothing. 
In  French  grammar  my  performance  wa.s 
btill  worse. 

"  Miss  Addle,"  said  Mr.  Devereux,  as  I 
passed  by  him  on  my  way  to  my  seat.  "  do 
you  have  any  trouble  with  those  Frenc'n 
verbs  in  learning  vour  lesson  r" 
"Yes,  a  little,'  I  replied. 
"  You  want  a  little  reviewing,  1  think. 
if  I  have  time,  I  will  call  in  at  your  house 
this  evenine  and  help  you  a  little  while 
yoM  are  studying." 

Mr  Dt^ert'ux  knew  that  1  always  studied 
:  ng,  and  bad  several  times  called 
■  aa  hour  in  assisting  me  with 
a  parliculariy  difficult  task  designed  for 
liic  next  day's  recitation.  So  1  was  not 
surprised  lo  hear  him  make  this  offer, 
though  a  little  a.shamed  of  the  cause  of  it, 
as  my  failure  ha<i  resulted  from  my  willful 
inattention  and  carelessness  1  thanked 
him,  however,  with  a  Hushed  face,  and 
went  to  my  seal,  liul  it  was  not  entirely 
shame  that  flushed  ray  lace. 

As  I  expected,  Mr.  Devereux  came  in  the 
■    ;  to  explain  my  French  lesson.  But 
'ni  find  me  alone.    Aunt  Katharine 
sal  'Able  sewing,  and  looked  even 

har  •■   than    in   the   morning.      My 

heart  gave  a  flutter  of  impatient  anticipa- 
tion every  time  Mr.  Devereux  looked  at 
her.  and  after  the  lessons  were  through  I 
dil  my  best  to  make  her  talk  to  please  him. 
My  aunt  always  ta.ked  well,  but  she  quite 
excelled  herself  in  conversation  that  night. 
1  saw  that  Mr.  Devereux  was  interested, 
aad  I  was  delighted  with  the  success  of  my 
secret  plan. 
In  the  course  of  the  evening,  John  Aft- 


hrey,   my   Iovlt,  came   i;; 
clainiC'!  .'olra  a?  my  l.ivci 

g  mat 
and  I  a  mero  rhila  of  a 
teen,  he  had  bcauxod  rrif  to  parlies  and 
concerts  all  one  wint  r,  and  told  me  a 
dozen  timefl  that  1  wat;  the  sweetest,  pret- 
tiest, most  lovely  girl  in  all  Hartford.  .So 
that  when  John  came  in,  I  went  and  sat 
down  by  him  in  a  cosy  corner,  and  left 
Aunt  Katharine  to  entertain  Mr.  Dcvercu.v 
—a  plan  which  I  thought  at  tirat  secmetl 
to  suit  all  around. 

But  after  a  little  time  I  saw  John  casting 
uncasv  glances  toward  the  place  where 
Mr.  D>evereux,  looking  superbly  liandsomo, 
sat  talking  with  my  aunt. 

"You  needn't  be  jealous  of  him,  John," 
I  said;  "he's only  my  teacher." 

John  started  and  leaned  back  in  his  seal 
without  saying  a  word. 

Neither  of  the  gentlemen  ilaycd  very 
late,  John  going  away  directly  alter  Mr. 
Devereux,  and  I  went  to  my  n)om  elated 
with  my  prosperity,  or  rather  ihe  proa- 
peri  tv  of  my  plans. 

I  d"id   not  need  assistance  in  my  studies 
before  Mr.  Duvereux  came  again,  and  after 
a  short  time  it  came  to  bo  a  regular  thing 
fur  him  to  spend  an  evening  once  or  twice 
a  week  with  us.     W' ith  us,  1  say,  because  I 
could  see  that,  though  he  admired  my  aunl 
Katharine  very  much,  he  had  too  gorxl 
taste  to  monopolize  her  company  entirely, 
to  the  exclusion  of  ramc.    I  enjoyed  those 
evenings    very  much.    It  seemed  to  me 
that  ilr.  Devereux  grew  remarkably  agree- 
able very  fast,      bometiraea  John  would 
come  in,  but  John  seemed  to  have  grown 
strange  and  moody  of  late.    I  thought  it 
was  becau.se   Mr.  Devereux   was  at  our 
houae  so  much,  and  endeavored  to  please 
him  by  extra  attention  when  he  did  spend 
an  evening  with  us,  but  it  didn't  seem  to 
be  of  much  use.    I  resented  his  silence 
and  inattention  to  me  one  night,  and  after 
that  he    didn't  come    to  us  f(T  nearly  a 
month.     But  we  seemed  to  get  along  just 
a.s  well  without  him— at  least  I  did,  though 
aunl  Katharine  asked  me   a  number  of 
times  about  the  cause  of  his  absence. 

"He  is  sulky,  I  suppose.  Don't  fret 
about  me.  aunt  Katherinc ;  it  don't  trouble 
me  at  all,"  I  said. 

A  few  evening  alter,  John  made  his  ap- 
pearance, and  entered  the  parlor  where 
Mr.  Devereux  and  I  sal  playing  chess, 
while  my  aunt  was  writing  a  letter  at  a  side 
table.  1  thought  it  woulJ  be  rather  awk- 
ward for  him  at  first,  but  he  came  f(.)rwar<l 
easily,  and  after  speaking  lo  Mr.  Devereux 
and  myselt,  crossed  the  room  and  seateil 
himself  by  my  aunt.  Pleased  with  this 
arrangement,  1  devoted  myself  to  my 
game,  and  did  not  look  around  for  some 
half  an  hour  afterward,  when  my  alien 
lion  wa.'i  attracted  by  the  sound  of  John 
Aubrey's  voice,  which  though  low,  was  re- 
markably earnest  and  emphatic  I  turned 
my  head  and. gazed  in  wonder.  My  aunt's 
cheeks  were  flushed  crimson,  and  Johu'.s 
face,  aa  seen  by  rae  for  an  instnnt,  wus  pale 
and  agitated.  1  turned  to  Mr.  Devereux 
in  a.3toni8hment,  but  he  only  smiled  slight 
ly,  made  a  move,  and  then  waited  for  me 
to  do  the  same.  But  I  coull  not  play  from 
excitement  caused  by  the  scene  I  had  ob- 
served a  moment  before,  and  lost  the  game 
through  inattention. 

"  tihall  we  p  ay  again'/"  said  Mr.  Dcve- 
leux. 

I  shook  my  head,  and  he  replaced  the 
pieces  in  a  box,  and  then  look  up  a  book 
The  next  moment  John  arose,  and  my  aunt 
went  with  him  to  the  door,  rihe  did  not 
come  back  for  some  time,  and  when  she 
did,  Mr.  Devereux  was  preparing  to  go. 
He  looked  up  quickly  at  her  entrance,  and 
then  asked  her  laughingly,  if  it  wa?  ami- 
cably settled,  and  if  he  might  congraUilate 
her?  She  blushed,  but  said,  "Yea,  al 
some  other  time,"  and  bade  him  good-night 
I  had  stood  by  in  ritundcycd  wonder  and 
bewilderment. 

When  the  dor.r  closed  on   liim  my  aunt 

looked  steailily  nt.  me  tor  a  moment,  then 

tlnally  burst   into   hysteric 

I  tears.    I  was  frightened     She  put  her  arm 

about  me. 

"Addie,  are  you  sure  you  didn't  like 
John?"  she  asked. 

"  I  believe  I  did  a  little  last  winter,  but  T 
don't  at  all  now." 
"  Are  you  sure?" 

"  Quite  sure,"  I  leplial ;  "  he  is  so  sul- 
len-" 

"  Wait !— do  you  know  w  ho  you  are  talk- 
ing l<^)?'* 
"  What  do  you  mean,  aunl  Katharine  ?  ' 
"  I  am  John   Aubrey's  betroth«x\  wife, 
Addie!"  and  she  laughed  and  then  cried 
again. 

I  stood  mutely  staring  at  her.     Al  last  I 
found  words  to  say  : 

'*  Why,  aunt  Katharine,  I  thought  H  was 
1  whom  John  was  in  love  with  !" 
She  shook  her  head. 

"  And  I  thought  Mr.  Devereux  was  in 
love  with  you  1" 

"  You  must  ask  him  alxjut  that,"  she 
said  smiling  through  her  tears. 

And  I  did  a.-;k  him  the  next  evening 
while  wc  stood  by  an  open  window,  and 
my  aunt  Katharine  sat  bv  John  Aubrey 
in  the  cosey  corner  where  I  used  to  sit  willi 
him. 

"  Is  it  possible  that    you  haven't  been 
courting  aunt  Katharine  all  this  time,  Mr 
Devereux'/"  I  said. 
How  he  laughed! 

"  Is  it  possible  that  you  Jnn't  know  t|iat 
I  have  been  courting  you  uU  this  time'/" 
"  Mr.  Devereux  !"  1  exclaimed. 
But  he  wasn't  jesting— and   neither  was 
I,  when  I  promised  a  year  later  to  "  Love, 
honv^r  and  obey  him  through  life. 

John  Aubrey  and  my  aunt  Katharine 
were  married  at  the  same  time,  which  ray

John  Uaudolpli  exagucralcd  in  declaring 
Ihat  the  Ohio  was  frozen  over  one-iialf  the 
year  and  dry  the  other  half.  But  IknliKi 
told  almost  the  exact  truth  when  he  des 
cribed  the  Missouri  as  a  little  too  thick  to 
swim  in  ami  not  (luite  thick  enough  to 
walk  on.  By  daylight  the  broad  current 
is  unpoetic  and  repulsive — a  strbam  oi  li-

islands  of  dreary  sand,  and  enciobcd  by 
crumbliae  shores  of  naked  soil,  lis  watft-s 
will  deposit  a  sediment  an  vv^\h  of  an  inch 
thick  upon  the  bottom  of  a  tumbler  in  five 
minules.  Though  at  first  unpalatable  and 
medicinal  one  soon  finds  it  a  pleasant,  Ijoau- 
tiful  beverage.  I  have  seen  errant  Mib^ou- 
riaua  so  partial  to  it  as  to  urge  that  the 
pure  waters  of  the  rocky  mountains  were 
unfit  to  dnuk  because  of  their  clearness  ! 

One  of  our  eastern  passengers  pouring 
out  half  a  pitcher  full  fur  abliitiou,  was  ut- 
terly disgusted  with  its  color  in  the  white 
porcelain  basiu. 

"  Here  waiter,"  he  exclaimed,  "  biing  me 
me  clean  water  ;  someboily  has  washed  in 
this." 

Its  aspect  quite  justifies  ihe  Indian  ap- 
peUition  of  "  strong  water,"  and  possibly 
accounts  for  the  tendency  of  whites  to;  the

Navigating  the  Missouri,  at  low  water,

and  sending  a  boy  ahead  with  a  sprinkling

killing  animals  with  the  least  possible  suf 
fering.      At  present,  oxen  are  slaughtered 
by  blows  from  heavy  hammers  on  the  head, 
w'hich  necessarily  inflict  the  most  frightful 
t  irture  on  the  unfortunate  victims  ol  our 
carniverous  propensities.     The  idea  occur- 
red to  an  eminent  physiologist   Ihat  Ihe 
section  of  the  spine  would  produce  more 
instant  death.    This  however  nas  not  been 
demon-il rated.     An   ox   thus   kilkxl   lived 
tor  twelve   minulcs,  and   endured   during 
thai  time  the  most  horrible  sufferings.  De- 
capitation was  then  tried,  with  the  follow- 
ing curious  result ;    A  calf  was   hung  up 
and  decapitated  in  the  space   of  a  quarter 
of  a  minute.     Its  head  was  then  placed  on 
a  table.    In  six  minutes  two  ounces  and  a 
half  of  blood  was  lost.      During   the   first 
minute  the  face  was  frightfully  convulsed, 
the  mouth  opened  and  shut  as  though  the 
animal  was  catii-ir,  and,  strange  t<>  say,  on 
putting  the  hand  againsi   the   mouth   and 
nostril,  it  was  easy'to  feel  the  respiration 
continuing.       Thirty   animals  were   thus 
killed,  and  the  result  ol  the  observations 
taken  was  that  the  committee  decided  that 
the  old  pr  iclice  of    killing   by    means   of 
blows  from  a  hammer  should  be  continued.

No  one  skeleton  is  complete,  but  enough 
of  each  haa  been   found  to  determine  that 
Ihcy  are  the  remains  of  a  male,  female,  and

Weston,  Misa)uri,  was    once  a  Icadmg 
and    thriving    town.      Now    the    erratic 
stream  had  made  deposits  in   front  until 
large   buildings  formerly  on  its  bank  were 
one-third  of  a  mile  inland.    At  St    losii)!;, 
forty  miles  above,  and    upon    umlerlying 
quicksands,  the  river  was  fa-st  culling  into 
the  city.     Several  acres  had  disappeiired 
m  a  single  year.     Brick  warehmises  on  the

At  first  they  thought  it  an  earthquake,  bul 
'  it  proved  a  water  quake.    They  lied  to  a

Mark  Twfdn,  the  California  humorist, 
Vvho  accompanied  the  (Quaker  City  excur- 
sionists, went  ashore  al  Civita  Vecchia,  to 
take  a  little  tour  in  the  I'opc's  dominions, 
and  thus  describes  what  he  saw  and  expe- 
rienced, in  a  letter  to  the  Trihiau  : 

This  16  the  vilest  nest   of  dirt,   vermin 
and  ignorance  we  have  got   into  yet,  ex- 
cept that  African  perdition  They  call  the 
Tangier,  which  is  just  like  it.     The  people 
hcrc'live  in  alleys  two  yards  wide.      It  is 
lucky    the   alleys  are  not  wider,  because 
thty  hold  as  much  smell  now  as  a  person 
can    stand,    and,  of   course,   if  they  were 
wider  Ihey  would  hold  more,  a-xl  then  the 
people  would  die.     These  alleys  are  paved 
with  stone,  (*nd   carpeted   with  slush  and 
decayed    rags,  and  decomposed   vegetable 
tops,  and  reinnants  ot  old  boots,  all  8<mked 
with  dish-water,  and  the  people  sit  around 
on  stools  and  enjoy  it.    They  arc  indolent, 
as  a  general  thing,  and  yet   have  few  pas- 
times.   They  work  Two  or  three  hours  at  a 
time,  but  no't   hard,  and  then   they   knock 
oil  and  catch  fleas.     This  does  not  require 
talent,  bceau.se  they  only  have  to  grab— if 
they  don't  get  the  one  they,  are  after,  they 
get  another.     1 1   is   all  the  same  to  them. 
They  are  not  particular.      1  hey   have   no 
partialities.     Whichever   one   they   get  is 
the  one  they  want.    They  have  other  kinds 
of  insects,  bul  it  does  not  make  them  ax- 
rogant     They  arc  very  quiet,  unpretend- 
ing people.     They  have  nn.ire  of  this  than 
oilier  commodities,  bul  they  do   not   brag. 
They  arc  vury  uncleanly,  these  jieople,  in 
face,  in  person  and  dress.     ^Yhen  they  see 
anybody  with  a  clean  shirt  on,  it  arouses 
their   scorn.      The  women  wash    clothes 
half  the  d.ay  at   the   public   fountains,  but 
they    are    probably   somebody's  else ;  or, 
uiAy  be,  they  keep  one  suit  to   wear  and 
another  to  wash,  because  they  never  wear 
any  that  have  ever  been   washed.      When 
thi;y    gel    done    washing   they   sit  in  the 
1  alleys  and  nurse  their  cubs.    All  the  wo- 
men m  Civita  Vecchia  have  large  families. 
They  nurse  one  at  a  time,  and   the  others 
scratch  their  backs  against  the   d<X)r-po8ts 
and  are  happy.     All  the  people   scratch — 
il  is  their  delight.     There  is  a  rusty  shrine 
here  and  there  along  the  streets,  where  the 
people  can  watch  and  praj  ;  but  they  don't 
do  that;  they  scratch  and  pray— they  like 
it  belter.    All  this  country  is  presided  over 
by  the  Fope.    They  do  not  appear  to  have 
any   schfwjls    here,  and    only  one  billiard 
table.    Their  education  is  at  a  very  low 
stage.     One  portion  of  the  men  go  into  the 
u-ulitar>',  another   into  the  priejjjhwd,   a 
third  into  the  shoemaking  busmess,  and 
the  balance  "  lay  around."    They  keep  up 
the  passport  system  yet,  but  so  they  do  in 
Turkey.    This  shows  that  Turkey  is  not  a 
whil  more  enlightened  than  the  Papacy, 
whatever  malignant   villains  may  say  to 
the  contrarv.

An  Autumn  Suggestion. 

.Now,  as  heavy  fogs  arise  and  searching  winds 
co.Tiracncc  to  blow ;  now,  as  the  human  body,  ex- 
hausted like  inanimate  nature  by  the  heats  of  sumi. 
mer,  ijcgms  to  wilt  and  droop ;  now,  ere  the  In- 
clement winter  makes  its  trying  onset;  NOW  Is 
the  lime  for  a  preparatory  course  of  the  best  accli- 
mating medicine  in  existence,  HOSTETTKR'S 
STOMACH  BITTERS. 

Fever  and  Ague  Is  rampant  in  all  parts  of  the 
country.  Qumine,  the  physicians  admit,  will  not 
quell  the  phase  of  the  disease  which  at  present 
pervades  the  entire  'VN'est.  It  is  well  that  it  is  so, 
for  the  remedy  so  called  is  deadlier  than  the  mala- 
dv.  But  if  quinine  is  iuelBcient  in  intcrmiUent 
fJverF,  nOSTETTEK'S  BIJTERSis  Irre- 
eistibic.  It  would  be  safe  to  make  a  contract,  un- 
der he.ivy  penalties,  that  any  given  "  Fevcr-and-

From  the  relatlTe  high  charges,  the  operating 
aspensoB  of  the  road  are  but  32X  per  cent,  of  the 
earnings,  and  the  ratio  would  be  much  less  If  the 
contractor's  business  were  not  done  at  half  rates.

expenses  (^•i'.6,5,30  92)  325|  per  cent,  (f  157,564  48) 
as  the  proportion  chargeable  on  ihe  work  done  for 
contractors,  which  was  less  than  actual  cost,  be- 
cause of  the  half  pnce  charged  for  it,  and  we  have 
the  net  oi)erating  expenses    on    the  commercial 
ImBlness  for  the  quarter,  $237,906  50.    The  account 
for  the  commercial  busintit  stands  as  follows  : 
Earnings  for  May,  June  and  July. .  $753,755  54

The  amount  of  Bonds  the  Company  can  issue  on 
S25  miles,  at  $16,000  per  mile,  is  $5,200,000.  Inter 
eel  in  gold,  three  months,  at  ft  per  cent.,  on  this 
sum,  is  $78,000;  add  40  per  cent,  premium,  to  cor- 
respond with  currency  earnings,  is  $109,200— show- 
ing that  the  net  earnings  for  this  quarter  were 
mor*  than  four  tirnet  tfu  inter*it  on  the  First 
Mortgage  Bonds  on  this  length  of  road. 

First  Mortgage  Bonds,  whose  Intrrest  is  so  well 
provided  for  and  so  thoroughly  secured,  must  be 
classed  among  the  sajett  invcstmenU.     They  pay 

SIX  PER  CENT.  IN  QOLD, 

And  are  offered  for  the  present  at  ninety  cenu  on 
the  dollar,  and  accrued  interest  ai  six  per  cent,  in 
currency  from  July  1st. 

Many  parties  are  taking  advantage  of  the  pres- 
ent high  price  of  Govorment  stoclts  to  exchange 
for  these  Bonds,  which  are  over  16  per  cent,  cheap- 
er, and,  at  the  current  rateof  premium  on  gold,  pay 

Over  Nine  Per  Cent.  Interest.

The    Democratic  State   Committse  In 
their  State  address  to  the  people,  says  : 
"  The  record   for  the   year  as  far  as  it 
has  been    made  up,  shows  no   diversity 
nor    chiini'C"  in  tiie   coiis'-aiu   course  o' 
public    sentiment.     In  Connecticut    the 
radical  party  was  beaten,  and  Democrat- 
ic  State  officers  elected.     In  Kentucky 
the    Deinovratic  majority   was  4U,00(>. — 
In    Caliloriii.i.    which  gave  over  22,00 J 
Uepublitan    inajorily  a    year    *^io,    the 
lieuiberatic  in;ijurity   this  year  is  8.000. 
Moiitaua,    Colorado    aud     New    Mexico 
have  %kll    elected   Democratic  delegates 
to    Congress.     The  Radical  majority  wl 
'27,000    in    Maine  has    beeu  reduced  to

United    States    Sei.aie.     ii^eun»}lvania^ 
which    gave     17,000    Radical    majority 
last  year,  gives  a   Democratic   majoriy 
of  1,200  this  year.     The  Radical  majori- 
ty   in   Iowa    is  reduced    from  35,00J  to 
15,000.    The  majority  iu  Indiana  instead 
of  being    15,000  Republican,  is    10,000 
Democratic.     There  was  a  gain  of  sev 
erul  thousand  even  in  Vermont.     These

Vsjelable  Sicilian  Hair  Renewei 

Itaa  Ktood  the  test  of  seven  yeara 
trial  bfi  the  public  ;  and  «/>  pnpn- 
ration  for  the  hair  yet  discovered 
ivill  produce  th^  txinic  henc/laal 
results.  It  is  a  new  scientific  diS' 
cover!/,  conihininii  the  most  power- 
ful and  ri-st'trative  agents  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  Jt  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  it  makes  the  srain 
white  and  dean;  cures  tlat.draff 
and  humors,  and  failing  out  of  th| 
hair  ;  and  will  make  it  grow  nj}on 
bald  headSf  enocept  in  very  aged 
persons,  as  it  famishes  the  nntrl- 
live  priuciple  bif  which  th^  hair 
is  u^nirished  and  supported.  It 
tnakes  the  hair  moist,  soft,  and 
glos*!/^  aud  is  unsnrjHissed  as  a 
HAIR  DRESSING.  Jt  is  the  cheapett 
pri' pa  cation  ever  offered  to  tlie 
public,  as  one  bottle  will  accom- 
plish more  and  last  longer  than 
three  bottles  of  any  other  prepara- 
tion. 

Jt  is  reeom mended  and  used  by 
the  First  Medical  Authority. 

The  wondirful  results  produced 
hi/  our  Sicilian  Jlair  Jiencwer 
have  ituluced  many  to  manufac- 
ture preparations  for  the  IJatrp 
linden'  various  names ;  and  in 
ord^r  to  induce  the  trade  and  tJt^ 
public  to  purchase  their  com- 
poutuls,  they  have  resorted  to  false- 
hoods, by  claiming  they  were 
former  partners,  or  /tad  some  con- 
nection with  our  3Ir.  JIall.  and 
their  preparation  was  similar  to 
ours,  J>o  not  be  deceived  by  them! 
J*ui'oJtase  the  original:  it  has 
nevntr  been  equalled.  Our  Treatise 
on  tlu?  Hair  with  certificated,  sent 
free  by  mail.  See  tluit  each  bottle 
has  our  private  Jievenue  Stamp 
ovs_r  tlie  top  of  the  bottle.  All  otli- 
ers  are  itnitations.

U(i>*  stood  the  test  of  seven  if  ears

rntiint  for  the  hnir  ipf  tliseovrred 
iriff  pro(fiue  th*-  Htaiie  heiie/leial 
retnfts.  It  is  <t  uetr  scientifir,  dis- 
coreri/,  eovihininr/  t/w  tmtst  power- 
fiil  and  rest'nyttire  iigeitts  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  //  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  It  mahes  the  sea/p 
inJiife  and  dean  f  enres  daiidriifj 
aud  humors,  and  falling  out  of  th| 
hair;  and  will  make  it  g row  upon 
hold  heads,  eir*ept  in  very  aqcd 
persons,  as  it  famishes  the  nutri- 
tive pritieiple  bjf  whieh  the  hair 
is  nourished  and  supported.  It 
makes  the  hair  nioisf,  soft,  anU 
f/fos-'i/.  and  is  ansnrpassed  as  a 
HAIR  DRESSING.  It  is  the  cheapest 
prrpuratiitn  ever  offered  to  the 
pnfpfir,  as  one  bottle  iviU  aeeom- 
pdsh  more  and  last  lonf/er  than 
three  bottles  of  any  other  prepara- 
tion. 

It  is  reeow mended  and  used  by 
the  First  Medical  Authority. 

The  H'ondi  rfitl  results  produced 
/>»/  our  Sicilian  Hair  Jteneuer 
have  imlured  many  to  iuannfae- 
i  tare  preparations  for  the  Hair, 
I  under  various  names ;  and  in 
\  order  to  induee  the  trade  and  the 
pul/lie  to  pnrehase  their  com- 
pounds, they  have  resorted  to  false- 
hoods, by  claiming  they  were 
former  partners,  or  Jmd  some  con- 
nection vHth  our  3Ir.  Hall,  and 
their  preparation  was  similar  to 
ours.  Ho  not  be  deceived  by  them! 
rurchase  the  original :  it  has 
n^'vetr  been  equalled.  Our  Treatise 
on  tlt^e  Haif  with  certificatesr,  sent 
free  by  mail.  See  that  each  bottle 
lt4ts  our  private  Jtevenue  Stamp 
ov§r  tlie  top  of  the  bottle.  All  Oliv- 
ers are  Unitaiions.

Democratic  Meeting. 

•On  Monday  evening  last  a  large  meeting 
assembled  at  Beiv.  Eiulreh's  Hall,  to  hear 
Hon.  Aures  Oggswell.  Tkc  hall  was  crowd- 
ed and  Mr.  Coggswell  spoke  over  two  hours. 
His  speech  was  coiifiued  to  the  living  issues 
of  the  present  time.  Tbe  railroad  bond 
swindle,  the  negro  amcudmcat  to  the  Con- 
glitution,  and  the  bank  amendment  were  all 
considered  br  the  speaker,  and  handled  with 
a  master's  skill.  He  then  took  up  natioual 
taxation  matters.  The  rich  man's  high 
««riff  and  the  poor  man's  tax-,  tli«  lich 
tnan'a  bonds  and  the  ioot  man's  coflF«.'e,  re- 
ceived his  attention,  aud  the  fraudulent  log 
islation  concerning  them  was  condemned, 
juid  remedies  proposed  and  exj)laiiie«i.  Mr. 
Cloggswell's  speech  was  listened  to  by  Dem- 
ocr.its  and  Republicans  aud  created  a  mark- 
ed impression.  It  was  a  telling  speech,  and 
we  wish  it  could  have  been  listened  to  by 
<very  man  in  the  State. 

On  Saturday  evening  another  large  meet- 
ing aasembled  «1  the  same  place  to  listen  to 
Mr,  Co.x,  of  St.  Peter.  His  addrtss  was  an 
able  and  «k>quent  appeal  to  the  history  of 
ihc  country  for  the  proof  of  the  loyalty  of 
the  Democratic  party.  I

POOR  HOUSE  MATTERS. 
Early  last   spring  a  pauper   named  Peter 
Bush  was  discharged    from    the    poor  house 
«B  able  ♦a    support   himself.     He    is  a  very 
cross    and    disagreeable    person,   and   very 
«lirty  in  his  habits.     He    is  able  to  do  about 
half  a  man's  work,   but  is   so   disagreeable 
that  most   persons  will  not  have  him  about. 
iJut  this  is  not  a  good  reason  why  the  coun- 
ty should  support    him.     He  Lad  been  away 
from  the  poor  house  about  two  months,  but 
the  day  after  Mr.   Hinds  left  the  county  one 
cf  the  C-ommissioners  sends  this  same  Peter 
Hush  back  to  the  poor   house.     He  had  tak- 
en   him  to   his  own    house  and  kept   him  a 
week  before  he  sent  him  in,  and  charges  the 
<ouuty  $3.50,  and    gets  it.     He  hires  a  con- 
veyance to  take  this  able-bodied  pauper  from 
Credit  River  back   to   the    poor    house,  and 
the  county  pays    $5.00    for  it.     He   cliarges 
Ihe-connty  $9-00  for  three  visits  to  a  pauper 
»nd  gets  it.     In  a  sorry  condition  would  tke 
county  be  if  all    the    Commissioners    were 
I'.ke  unto  hiiu, 

Under  this  Commissioner's  direction,  this 
I'c-ter  Bush  has  remained  at  the  poor  house 
all  summer.  In  Mr  Hinds'  absence,  J.  L. 
MeDoaa^d,  our  wise  county  attorney,  writes 
to  ibe  deputy  poor  master  that  he  h.ns  no 
riglit  to  require  paupers  to  work.  So  this 
Peter  Bush  remained  at  the  poor  house  all 
•uramer  in  utter  idleness,  but  as  soon  as  Mr. 
Hinds  returned  home,  he  was  sot  at  work 
tor  wages.  Artd  although  he  is  to  have  what 
ho  earns,  it  is  to  be  us«d  in  clothing  himself 
for  the  winter.  If  his  time  had  becti  im- 
proved during  the  summer,  he  might  have 
^.arned  enough  to  support  himself  during 
l«e  winter.  The  course  adopted  by  these 
men  *w5  by  lb«  Great  Political  Trader,  has 
been  productive  of  idleness  on  the  part  of 
paupers,  and  needless  expense  to  the  county. 


Representative* 

DEMOCR.WS  !    Do   you   wish   to  have 
Scott  County  represented  in  the  Legislature 
by  a    knownothing?     If  not,  you    will    not 
wish    to    defeat    William    Henry.      .ludge 
Henry  has  held  a  responsible   otfice  for  two 
years,   and   has   been   true    to   his   ofiiciul 
duties.     He    has  always   been  true   to   his 
party   and    deserves  the  support    of   even 
those  who   desired   the  nomination  of  other 
men.     LOOK    OUT    FOR  SPLIT  TICK- 
ETS.    We  understand    bogus    Democratic 
tickets  have     been    printed     with    R.    M. 
Wright's  name  in  place  of  William  Henry's. 
We    are  told    that   split  tickets  have    been 
distributed  in  New  Market  and  other  towns. 
Look  out  for  them.     There  is  no   doubt  but 
Judge    Henry  will  make  an  able  and    faith- 
ful Representative,  and  he  is  entitled  to  the 

full  support  of  the  party. 

^. .«.  ..^ 

County  Trsa.surer. 

Tax  Paters^  do  you  wish  an  honest  and 
capable  man  to  collect  and  keep  the  public 
moneys  ?  Do  you  wi:;'.i  a  man  whom  you 
have  trusted,  who  has  always  been  true  to 
your  interest,  whom  you  have  tried  and 
know  will  account  fur  every  dollar  of  your 
money?  Then  go  and  vote  for  John  Kdort 
for  County  Treasurer. 

Judge  cI  Probate. 

Hon.  L.  R-  Hawkins  is  the  nominee  for 
Judge  of  Probate.  Mr.  Hawkins  is  an  old 
and  well  known  citizen.  He  is  a  gentleman 
of  learning,  a  good  companion,  liberal  in 
his  opinions,  and  jrossesses  fine  social  quali- 
ties. He  is  the  only  person  on  the  ticket 
from  the  southeastern  part  of  the  county. — 
There  is  no  opposition  to  him^  and  of  course 
his  election  is  certain.

Remv.-nbcr,  that  the  republican  officer* 
now  caudidafcs  for  re-election,  have  long

"FosTtR  iJapTUEE.'' — Hov  easy  some 
people  full  into  mistakes.  Some  people 
eNndentlv  think  ft  foster  brother  is  a  bloqd 
relation,  but  such  is  not  the  fact.  Web? 
eter  says  a  foster  brother  is  "a  male  nursed 
lit  th«  saine  bre.ist  or  fed  by  the  same  nurse, 
but  not  the  offspring  oj  the  same  parents." 
A  little  better  familiarity  with  Webster's 
Dictionary  might  prevent  some  people 
from  making  awkward  blunders. 


Last  winter  our  Legislature  seem  to  have 
spent  their  time  in  devising  means  to  bene- 
fit the  rich  at  the  expense  of  the  poor. — 
They  got  up  a  Constitutior.jvl  amendment 
for  a  vnijorin  taxation  of  the  stock  ii: 
Banks.  County  and  town  taxes  vary  in 
amount  in  different  counties  and  town.s. — 
In  some  counties  they  are  high,  in  other 
lower.  There  is  no  uuituruiity  in  the  rate 
of  county  and  town  taxes  in  the  difierent 
counties.  Each  county  determines  for 
itself  what  rale  of  couuty  taxes  they  will 
levy. 

As  no  tax  can  be  uniform  throughout  the 
State  except  a  State  tax,  it  will  bo  seen 
that  that  tricky  Ix-gislature  (inclmling  our 
Senator)  intended  to  exempt  Bank  stock 
from  all  county  and  town  taxes.  The  peo- 
ple, therefore,  should  vote  NO  upon  that 
amendment.  But  that  tricky  Legislature, 
fearing  that  the  trick  would  be  discovered 
before  election,  undertake  to  defeat  the  will 
of  the  people  by  providing  that  the  ballots 
on  this  Bank  amendment  shall  be  separate 
from  the  rest  of  the  ticket.  Of  course  a 
separate  ballot  box  must  be  provided  in 
which  to  deposit  this  Bank  ticket.  Such 
trickery  in  legislation  does  not  look  well, 
but  the  people  must  furnish  a  remedy  by 
sending  better  and  smarter  men  to  the 
Legislature.

and  the  receipts  tor  the  first  half  ot  the

-An  engagement  is  announced  between 
a  Hartford  (Ct )  gentleman  of  considerable 
^edlh  and  a  haniome  lady  of  an  adjacent

The  setting  is  said  to  be  entirely  new  in

—We  learn  from  a  new  English  volume 
on  mining,  that  in  1SU5  the  principal  min- 
eral-producing countries  of  the  world 
yielded  559,287  pounds  of  gold,  and  4,000,- 
000  pounds  of  silver.  Of  gold,  Cahfornia 
and  the  adjoining  mineral  districts  pro- 
duced 210,000  pounds;  Australia  and  New 
Zealand,  191,000;  Russia,  69,500;  South 
America,  ^M.OOO;  Southern  Asia.  26.000 
Of  silver,  Mexico  produced  1.700,000 
pounds ;  the  United  States,  1,000,000 ;  Peru 
and  Chili,  598,000 ;  and  the  rest  Of  Europe, 
including  the  British  isle,  526,000.  Esti- 
mating the  value  of  these  metals  at  present 
market  values,  the  yield  of  gold  for  the 
vcar  was  not  far  from  $125,000,000,  and  of 
silver,  $75,000,000. 

-The  convicts  in  the  Massachusetts 
State  Prison,  at  Charlestown,  are  bringing 
in  large  returns  to  the  treasury  of  that  in- 
stitution, by  manufacturing  ornamental 
bronze  iron  work,  gas  fixtures  and  iron 
bedsteads.  As  the  Slate  receives  $1  a  day 
for  the  labor  of  the  prisoners,  it  can  easi- 
ly be  seen  that  the  contractors,  by  paymc 
much  less  than  the  regular  wages,  are  mak- 
ing money  by  the  operation.  Articles 
coming  out  of  the  shops  were  sent  to  the 
French  Exposition,  and  attracted  great  at-^ 
tention,  the  Emperor  and  the  King  of 
Prussia  giving  large  orders  for  similar 
goods.  Two  bundrtnl  and  fifty  out  of  the 
five  hundred  and  thirty  inmates  are  em- 
ployed on  this  fine  work.  The  average 
yearly  earnings  of  the  entire  number  em- 
ployed  in  the  prison  are  |371  per  man. 

Under  these  circumstances,  it  is  not  sur- 
prising that  the  expenses  of  the  institution 
are  defrayed  by  the  labor  of  the  prisoners,

—An  agitatiim  has  been  going  on  for 
some  time  in  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church 
of  New  York,  in  regard  to  dropping  the 
word  "Dutch,"  as  rather  a  shade  of  t 
name  than  possessed  of  any  vital  meaning. 
At  a  late  meeting  of  the  New  York  Clas- 
sis  the  subject  came  up,  and  was  the 
occasion  of  much  discussion.  The  vote  on

proposition  submitted  by  the  General  Syn- 
od for  the  charge  of  the  name  from  Re- 
formed Dutch  Church  to  Reformed  Church 
was  taken  with  the  following  result— yeas, 
IS  •  navs,  20.  The  result  of  this  vote  was 
f'oliowe'd  by  the  adoption  of  a  resolution 
that  the  General  Synod  has  no  more  right 
to  change  its  name  and  title  than  to  change 
its  doctrines  and  form  of  government.

was  missed  from  the  mint  in  St  Peters- 
burg, and  no  tnicc  of  it  could  be  found.

had  stolen  the  gold,  and  suspicion  having 
fallen  on  him  h.;  was  not  able  to  dispose  of 
it     He,  therefore,  in  order  to  rid  himself 
of  the  corpus  <hlirtie,  threw  it  into  a  smelt- 
ing caldron  filled  with  copper  for  the  mak- 
ing of  two  copek  pieces.    Some  sharp  spe-

two  copek  coinage  at  twice  and  thrice  its

supports,  fourteen  inches  above  the  other 
rails.  The  engine  is  providctl  with  four

—A  novel  railway  invention  has  been 
made  by  a  Russian  engineer.  The  object 
is  to  save  the  power  gained  m  a  descent, 
now  lost  in  the  friction  of  the  brakes,  and 
use  it  in  an  ascent.  To  do  this  the  engi- 
neer has  attached  to  the  locomotive  two 
verv  heavy  fly-wheels.  Going  down  hill 
they  act  as  a  brake,  and  the  force  they 
gather  will  carry  a  train  up  an  equal  rise, 
less  the  friction.

reading,  at  the  rate  of  eight  words  pt-r 
minute,  they  would  barely  keep  up  with 
the  vo'umes  published  in  London  alone. 
In  this  estimate  tracts  and  sermons  are  not 
included,  but  if  magazines,  reviews,  and 
newspapers  were  added  to  the  task,  it 
would  re(iuire  upwards  of  forty  men.

cd  a  curious  work,  containing  statistics  as 
to  the  residl  of  an  cxaminatum  of  the  eyc- 
Bichl  of  school-children.  Ten  thouand 
and  sixty  were  subjecteHl  to  a  variety  of 
tests,  and  the  proportion  of  the  shorl- 
sichted  was  found  to  be  seveulcen  percent., 
or  1  738  in  ten  thousand.  Dr.  Cohn  made 
an  iiuporiant  discovery,  namely:  that  no 
ehildren  living  in  the  country  or  reared  in 
villages  were  short-sighted  till  they  had 
been  some  time  at  school,  which  circum- 
stance Dr.  Cohn  entirely  attributes  to  the 
"defe<-,tivc  arrangements  of  school-rooms, 
the  benches  being  so  constructed  that  chil- 
dren arc  compelled  to  read  with  their 
books  close  before  their  eyes  and  their 
heads  bent  downwards. 

The  Ureat  Orffan  at  I.iiiernc. 

The  J^ibcral  Cfiridian  has  Dr.  Bellows' 
letter  from  Switzeriand,  which  gives  the 
following  account  of  the  great  organ  in 
the  cathedral  at  Lucerne  : 

Il  is  played  twice  every  day  for  one  hour, 
and  furnishes  a  favorite  resort  for  travelers. 
I  stumbled  into  the  church  first  at  the  very 
hour  the  organ  was  being  exhibited,  and 
with  no  knowledge  of  ils  met  its,  and  of 
course  without  any   special  expectations. 
But  the  hush  of  the  little  audience  showed 
that  something  unusual  was  going  on,  and 
it  required  only  a  few  minutes  to  bring  me 
wholly  under  the  sped  of  the  most  magi- 
cal stops  that  I  had  ever  listened  to.    Tlie 
player,  1  found  after  a  second  hearing,  was 
not  a  very  great  one,  but  the  organ  itself 
was  wonderful,  and  he  understood  per 
fectly  how  to  exhibit  it,  undertaking  only 
what  he  could  do  with  entire  success.   The 
power  of  the  full  organ  was  immense  and 
as  sweet  as  it  was  powerful.     I  could  com- 
pare it  only  to  the  eflect  ot  a  great  park  (jf 
artillery  heard  at  a  distance  sufficient  to 
mellow  the  thunder.     But  the  vox  humaun 
wiwlhc  speeiitlty  of  this  organ,   and  cer- 
tainly luuhing  more  successful  in  the  way 
of  linitation  was  ever  done.     At  first,  after 
a  bold  intrixluction  of  the  lull  orgjin,  we 
heard  a  choir  of  children's  voices,  singing 
apparently  in  a  neighboring  cloister ;  then 
a  choius  of  men's  voices   took    up    the 
strain,  and  came  nearer  and  nearer,  as  it 
one  and  then  another  door  between  us  and 
them  had  been  opened.    I  could  not  per 
suade  myself  for  a  Ions  lime  that  a  choir 
was  not  concealed  in  some  adjoining  apart- 
ment ;  but  it  was  finally  clear  that  no  choir 
could  keep  such  time  and  agree  together 
in    such   expression.    Nothing    by  tones 
more  human  or  more  angelic  was  ever  per- 
mitted   t>i   visit   my    ears;  at   times   the 
mighty  instrument  was  subdued  to  the  gen- 
tleness of  an  infant's  breathing,  and  we  all 
held  our  breath  not  to  lose  the  least  sigh 
of  its  decaying  harmony.    It  seemed  as  if 
a  choir  of  seraphs  hail  strayed  out  of  liea- 
vcn,  and  were  overheard  by  chance  as  they 
flew  by. 

Luuicuots  Attempt  kt  St  kiok.— The 
Oakland   (Cal )  AVir*  says  tlic   following 


The  Invalidc  Jiusu  of  September  27,  re- 
cords a  case  of  peculiarly  horrible  charac- 
ter which  has  just  been  heard  before  the 
eriminal  tribunal  of  Vladimir.  Russia.  A 
man  named  Kursin,  a  member  of  an""^" 
ou<:  and  fanatical  Russian  sect  called  the 
Savior  lately  killed  his  own  s(m  and  offered 
him  as'a  sacrifice  to  God.  The  narrative 
in  the  Russian  journal  is  as  follows  : 

The  doctrine  of  this  sect  consists  m  an 
absolute  negation  of  all  earthly  property. 
An  adherent  possesses  nothing  whatever, 
and  according  to  his  notions  everything 
around    him    is   evil    personified.    Such 
ideas  naturally  prompt  these  unhappy  men 
to  acts  of  frightful  despair.    They  believe 
it  is  necessary  to  constantly  implore  the 
mercy  of  the  Savior  by  every  means,  for 
it  is  He  alone  who  can  save  them.    The  ac- 
cused person,  who  was  twenty-seven  years 
of  age,  killed  his  son,  a  little  boy  of  seven, 
in   tne  conviction  that  the  act  would  be 
agreeable  to  the  Savior.    His  own  account 
of  the  crime  is  as  follows :    "  One  night 
I  fell  so   strongly   that  the  human   race 
must  soon  perish  that  I  could  not  get  a 
moment's  sleep.    I  rose  and  lighted  all  the 
lamps  before  the  images  of  the  saints,  and 
throwing  myself  on  my  knees  I  fervently 
prayed  God  to   save    mo  and  my  family. 
Suddenly  the  idea  came  to  me  of  saving 
my  son  Irom  eternal  damnation,  for  as  this 
only  chdd  was  a  beautiful  boy,  and  finer 
than  most  boys  of  his  age,  I  feared  that  he 
would  become,  after  my  death,  a  prey  of 
hell,  and  I  determined  lu  sacrifice  him  to 
the  Lord. 

"Filled  with  this  idea  I  continued  to 
pray  I  said  to  myself  that  if  during  my 
prayer  the  thought  of  Eacrificing  my  son 
to  God  came  to  rac  from  the  right  side  1 
would  execute  it.  If  on  the  contrary,  it 
came  fron  the  left,  I  would  give  it  up  ;  tor. 
according  to  our  religious  teachings,  the 
tboughl  which  comes  from  the  right  is  from 
our  good  angel,  and  that  from  the  lett  is 
the  instigation  of  the  devil.  After  a  long 
pmyer,  the  thought  came  to  me  from  the 
ri-^ht  side,  and  I  returned  full  ot  joy  to  the 
room  where  my  son  slept  by  the  side  of 
my  wife.  Knowing  that  she  would  oppose 
the  sacrifice  which  1  desired  to  ofler  to  God, 
I  sent  her  to  the  market  to  purchase  provi- 
sions. When  she  had  gone  I  awoke  my 
child  and  said  to  him.  "  Gel  up,  my  son, 
and  put  ou  thy  white  shirt,  that  1  may  ad- 
mire thee."  When  he  had  done  this  1  laid 
him  on  the  bcncli,  and  slabbed  him  several 
times  in  the  Bk>mach." 

The  child  in  struggling  fell  Ireiiucntly 
upon  the  knife,  and  when  found  was  cov- 
ered with  woundn.  The  father,  it  seems, 
intending  to  end  the  lad's  sullering.s,  cut 
the  stomach  open  from  top  to  bottom  ; 
hut  even  then  he  lingered  for  a  little  while. 
This  frightful  scene  occurred  just  before 
sunrise.  Kursin  soys  that  just  as  the 
child  had  breatheil  his  last,  the  first  rays  of 
the  sun  shone  through  the  window,  and 
in  a  moment  of  ecslacy  he  fell  on  his  knees 
and  implored  God>  mercifully  receive  this 
sacrifice.  Kursin  continued  tus  narrative 
in  these  terms:  "Just  as  I  had  thrown 
myself  before  the  holy  images,  and  as  my 
son  was  lying  in  his  blood,  the  door  opened 
and  mv  wife  came  In.  She  instantly  saw 
what  had  happeneil,  and,  .seized  with  hor- 
ror, she  fell  senseless  to  the  ground.  I 
raised  her,  and  I  said,  'Go  Uj  the  Mayor 
and  tell  him  all.  1  am  going  to  give  a.  Jtte 
to  the  saints.'" 

Kursin,  after  he  hail  been  sent  to  prison, 
resolutely  refused  all  kinds  of  nourisliment, 
and  died  of  sUrv  .ition  before  the  senlenne 
iqnn  him  could  be  executed. 


him  away  by  yelling  "  Get  out."  Small 
birds  chase  each  other  about  in  play  ;  but, 
perhaps,  the  condacl  of  the  crane  and  the 
trumpeter  is  the  most  extraordinary.  The 
latter  stands  on  one  leg,  hops  about  in  the 
most  eccentric  manner,  and  throws  somer- 
saults. All  animals  pretending  violence 
in  their  play  stop  short  in  exercising  it. 
The  dog  takes  the  greatest  precaution  not 
to  injure  by  his  bite,  a  nd  tlie  orang-outang, 
in  wrestling  with  his  keeper,  pretends  to 
throw  him,  and  makes  feints  of  biting 

him. 

Some  animals  carry  out  m  their  play 
the  semblance  of  catching  their  prey; 
young  cats,  for  instance,  leap  after  every 
small  and  moving  object,  even  to  the 
leaves  strewed  by  the  autumn  wind  ;  they 
crouch  and  steal  forward,  ready  for  the 
spring,  the  body  quivering,  and  the  tail 
vibraiing  with  emotion,  they  bound  on 
the  moving  leaf,  and  again  spring  forward 
to  another.  Bengcr  saw  young  jaguars 
and  cougars  playing  with  round  substan- 
ces, like  kittens.  Birds  of  the  magpie  kind 
are  full  of  mischief.  There  is  a  story  oi  a 
tame  magpie  that  was  seen  m  a  garden 
gathering  pebbles,  and  with  much  solemn- 
ity and  a  sludicd  air  buried  them  in  a  hole 
made  to  receive  a  post.  After  dropping 
each  stone  it  cried  "  currack !"  triumphant- 
ly, and  set  out  lor  another.  On  examining 
the  spot  a  poor  toad  was  found  in  the  hole, 
which  the  magpie  was  stoning  for  his 
amusement.  There  is  fun  in  animals  and 
birds.    Indeed  there  is.

More  curs  than  pij;s,  no  boolis,  but  many  guns  ; 

Sore  toes,  tight  shoes,  old  debts,  and  paper  duns.

Who  laughs  while  talking,  and  talks  much  while

being  Roman  Catholic,  no  meat  was  eaten 
or  provided, .  which  I  understood ;  but 
when  Sunday  evening  was  celetjrated  by 
unlimited  card-playing  in  tUatsame  house, 
my  traditions  were  decidedly  Jarred.  I  do 
not  imply  that  my  observances  were  belter 
or  worse  than  my  host's,  but  that  they 
were  different. 

"  Having  breakfasted,   I   began  to  ran- 
sack the  city  for  work,  and  in  my  toUl 
i"norance,  traversed  many  stj^ets  where 
none  could  possibly  be  found.   -In  ihe 
course  of  thai  day  and  the  next,  iiqwever, 
I  must  have  visited  fully  two-thirds  of  the 
printing  offices  on  Manhattan  Island,  with- 
out a  gleam  of  succcfis.    It  was  midsum- 
mer, when  business  in  New  York  -is  habit- 
ually dull;    and    my  youth  and  unques- 
tionable  air  of  country   greenness  must 
have  told  against  me.     Wlien  I  called  at 
the  Journal  of  Commerre,  its  editor,  Mr. 
David  Hale,  bluntly  told  me  I  was  a  run- 
away apprentice  from  some  country  office; 
which  was   a   very  natural,  though  mis- 
taken, presumption.    1  returned    to   my 
lodgings  on  Saturday  evening,  tiioroughly 
weary,  dishearteued   and  disgusted  with 
New  York,  and  resolved  to  shake  its  dust 
from  my  feet  next  morning,  while  I  could 
still  leave  with  money  in  my  pocket,  and 
before  its  alms  house  could  foreclose  upon 

"  But  that  was  not  to  be.  On  Sunday 
afternoon  and  evening  several  young 
Irishmen  caUed  at  Mr.  McGolncks,  m 
their  holiday  saunterings  about  town,  and, 
being  told  that  I  was  a  young  printer  in 
quest  of  work,  interesied  themselves  in  my 
eflort  with  the  spontaneous  kindness  of 
their  race.  One  among  them  happened  to 
know  a  place  where  printers  were  wanted, 
and  gave  the  requisite  directions,  .so  that, 
on  visiting  the  designated  spolnext  morn 
ing,  I  readily  found  employment;  and 
thus,  when  barely  three  day.i  a  resident,  I 
found  an  anchorage  in  New  \ork."

ludicrous  scene  was  recently  witnesserl  by 
a  gentleman  riding  over  a  bridge  between 
that  city  and  San  Antonio  : 

Avoungman  and  still  more  youthful 
female  were  leaning  over  the  railing  and 
apparently  in  an  animated    convcrsjition. 
From  what  followed,  il  was  but  too  evidrnt 
that  the  younc  lady  had  placed  her  aflec- 
tions  on  the  y"buth,  who  wouldn  t  talk  the 
kind  ot  turkey  in  return  that  she  desired. 
"Henry,  honey!  do,  O,  do  say  that  you 
love  me,  or  IU  do  a  rash  acU '  said  the 
infatuated  damsel.    Henry  didn  t  elo  it,  for 
in  a  moment  out  jumped  the  lady  into  the 
blue,  tenacious  mud,  sinking  quite  up  te 
her  knees.    She  tried  to  make  her  way  to 
the  deep  water,  but  to  save  her  neck  she 
couldn't  do  it.    No  sooner  did  she  try  to 
raise  one  leg,  than  down  went  tjie  "iher 
still  further.    Henry  (tlic  scamp)  looked 
on  perfectly  unconcerned ;  she  kept  smit- 
ing in  the  mud  until  she  was  submerged  as 
far  as  her  crinoline  would  allow,  when  she 
concluded  that  there  might  possibly  be  an 
easier  way  of  shuffling  off  this  mortal  coil 
She  callcxl  loudly  on  her  stony-hearteil

lantly did,  to  the  dirty  detriment  of  his 


The  full  •■rca.Mjn  has  fairly  tcl  in,  and  we 
find  the  matrimonial  market  buoyant  in 
our  city,  hundreds  of  W!;<«-guidcd  young 
men  rushing  into  the  h(dy  estate.  A  more 
than  usual  number  of  wedding  tourists  are 
noticed  by  travelers  and  conductors  on  the 
diflerent  railroads. 

Of  course,  it  is  not  on  account  of  being 
ashamed  of  each  other  that  they  try  to  dis- 
guise their  situation,  but  simply  to  avoid 
l)eing  criticised  and  remarked  upon  by  pro- 
fane strangers.    Thus  they  lay  the  fond 
unction  to  their  souls  that  they  aie  trav- 
eling in  mj.     But,  good   gracious,    how 
badly   fooled  they  arc.    It  is  one  of  the 
easiest  things  in  the  world  to  the  careful 
eye  to  tell  precisely  how  many  days,  or 
cveu  hours,  they   have    been    "spliced." 
They  can    sometimes  be  detected  by  the 
great  pains  they  take  to  appear  either  like 
old  married  people  or  cousins  as  they  pro- 
menade the  deck  of  a  steamer,  or  sit  .so  de- 
murely in  the  cars     In  many  ca.9cs  their 
dreaa,  in  part,  exposes  them.      It  is  so 
apropos  to  the  occasion,  being  neat,  sym- 
metrical, and  bran  new.    In  cases  where 
the  parties  have  good  taste,  there  is  no 
gaudiness  or  "  flubdubbing"  about  their 
attire.    All  glitter  and  display  are  thrown 
a.'^ide,  and  the  city  belie  appears  more  like 
a  Quakeress  in  her  simple  traveling  dre^s 
of  drab  or  mouse  color. 

Sometimes  the  youthful  culprits  engage 
in  playing  at  lovers  or  aflect  a  flirtation, 
but  it  is  always  a  stupendous  failure. 
Their  eyes  betray  too  much  happiness  for 
wit  and  repartee  ;  there  is  such  a  peculiar 
softness  and  tenderness  in  their  confiden- 
tial whispers,  and  such  a  pride  in  the  pos- 
.session  of  each  other,  that  none  around 
them  are  deceived.  It  is  generally  the 
case  that  the  bridegroom  makes  the 
discovery  fiist,  and  throws  his  arm  c.ire- 
les.«ly  around  the  shoulders  of  his  wile,  as 
much  as  to  .say,  defiantly  to  the  cnviou", 
"  Who's  afraid  V  Who  know;s  but  that  we 
have  been  married  many  years."  Not 
know?  .      ,  ,,    , 

The  guilty  slyness  m  the  way  that  arm 
steals  re  und,  first  on  the  seal  liack  and  then 
gradually  closer,  while  the  bride  evinces  a 
silent  pleasure  as  she  aceiuiesces  in  a  very 
unperceiviug  way.    Indued,  il  is  she  who 
"  lets  the  cat  out  of  the  big"  most  ciuickly. 
The  narrow  guage  seats  an-  most  prefera- 
ble to  the  broad  guage,  and  if  you  sit  ou 
the  seat  back  of  them  you  will  observe  at 
first  that  the  lady's  shoulders  are  not  even 
—they  incline  just  a  little  to  her  partner. 
After  traveling  in  this  po.sition  a  few  hours, 
her  neck  gets  as  limber  as  a  washed  paper 
c<jllar,  and  her  head  gravitates  to  the  broad 
shoulders   of  her  husband,  and  there  it 
nestles,  innocently  and  confidingly  m  the 
repose  of  honest,  pure  and  truthful  love. 
At  times,  in  spite  of  all  precautions,  a  tress 
or  two  of  her  golden  locks  will  get  loose, 
and  drop  on  her  shoulder.    But  il  almost 
seems  that  there  is  order  and  neatness  in 
their  very  disorder  and  abandon. 

So  they  go,  fancying  themselves  lost  in 
the  crowd— unnoticed,  unknown,  with 
their  secret  locked  up  in  their  own  palpi- 
tating bosoms.  Poor  youug  people!—

Tlie  I'iorida  Rcel'i*. 

The  following  are  Agassiz's  estimates  of 
the  formation  and  age  of  the  Florida  reefs 
on  the  Florida  coast : 

These  reefs  are  built  up  by  an  insect 
that  begins  to  work  on   the  ground  in  wa- 
ter of  twelve  or  fifteen  fathoms  deep,  and 
he  cannot  live  unless  ho  has  the  constant 
action  of  the  open  sea  upon  him,  so  that  he 
stops  at  the  height  of  high  tide.     By  nu- 
merous experiments  il  has  been  ascertain- 
ed that  the  coral   liuildcr  constructs    at 
about  the  rate  of  half  an  inch  in  a  century, 
but  in  order  to  err,  if  at  all,  on  the  safe 
side,  Agassiz  doubles  his  estimate  in  his 
calculations,  making  il  an  inch  in  a  cen- 
tury.   Now  outside  of  the  Florida  Keys 
there  is  a  long  reel  with  an  average  height 
of  seventv  feet,  which,  therefore,  must  have 
begun  7,000  years  ago,  or  1,000  years  before 
Adam.     Secondly,  the  keys  themselves  are 
nothing  but  an  inner  reception  of  the  very 
same    sort    of  coral    reefs,  of    at     least 
the  same  average  height ;  and  the  builders 
must  have  finished  them  before  they  began 
the  outside  reef,  as  appears  from  the  ne- 
cessity of  having  the  open  sea,  and  from 
the  fad  that  there  are   none  outside  of  the 
one  we  have  mentioned  above.    The  keys, 
therefore,  swell  the  record  tx>  14.000  years. 
Next  we  have  the  shore  bluflofthc  mam 
land,  which  is  also  oi  the  same  coral  con- 
struction, and  which  carries  the  earth's 
record  above    20,000    years.      Moreover, 
there  are,  as  you  go  inland,  seven  well  de- 
fined and,  of  course,  successive  rows    of 
coral  reefs,  which,  added  to  the  foregoing, 
would  make  the  work  70.000  years  old 
And  Professor  Agassi/,  regards  this  as  a

On  Wednesday  night  last  the  stable  of 
Mr.  John  Overton,  an  old  and  respected 
citizen  of  t)ltoway  county,  near  Burkeville 
Station,  was  burned  down  and  two  very 
valuable  horses  consumed.    The  neighbors 
went  over  to  render  any  assishmce  in  their 
povrcr,  and  determined  to  call  in  the  assist- 
ance of  "  Old  Rattler,"  a  dog  famous  for 
his  sagacity  m  pursuing  crhnmals.    The 
incendiary  having  eflcclcd  his  escape  un- 
der cover  of  the  night  Old  Rattler  was 
called  into  requisition,  and,  after  making  a 
circuit  of  the  burning    buildings,   sooii 
struck  the  trail  of  the  culprit,  and  followed 
with   unerring    certainty   over   hill    ami 
through  woods,  and  finally  came  to  bay  at 
the  house  of  Jacob  Peters,  a  negro  man. 
The  party  of  gentlemen  following  cdtered 
the  house,  and  found  Peters  in  an  exhaust- 
eel  condition,  and  almost  l)reathless.     His 
shoes  were  wet,  and  found  to  correspond 
exactly  with  the  tracks  made  by  the  fugi- 
tive over  the  iiiiVX— Richmond  Enumncr,

a  little  fellow,  Eddy,  not  slow  iu  roguery, 
complained  that  .lames  had  been  tlirowing 
stones  at  him.  The  teacher  inquired  into 
the  matter,  and  found  the  charge  correct. 
She  said  to  Eddy  :  ,      ,,  j    •, 

"  What  do  you  think  you  should  doit 
you  were  teaching  and  had  such  a  boy  as 

that?"  

"  I  think  1  should  flog  him,    was  the  re

"Ah,"  said  the  teacher,  "1  must  know 

about  this  inatler.    Is  it  true,  Eddy,  that 

you  have  been  throwing  stones  at  James? 
Eddy  hung  his  head  and  confessed  il. 

After  a  little  thumbing  on  the  strings,  she

On  a  recent  Sunday  evening,  a  young 
man  whom,  for  the  sake  of  convenience, 
we  will    call    John,  went  to  visit  the  girl 
whom  he  would  call  his  own.    The  fair 
one  resides  near  the  canal.    During  the 
evening  the  young  man  of  the  name 
John  wiis  unable  to  conceal  the 
his  heart,  and  in  tender  accents 
his  desire  that  the  young  lady  should  con- 
sent to  be  his.     He  met  with  a  flat  refusal. 
The  ardent  John  still  pressed  her  further, 
declaring  that,  if  she  would  not  accept  him 
he  would  then  and  there  drown  himself  in 
the  briry  waters  of  the  canal.    As  this 
threat  did  not  eUecl  the  desired  purpose, 
he  proceeded  to  carry  it  out.     He  plunged 
fearlessly  in  the  murky  flood,  and  waded 
out  until  the  chilly  water  reached  over  his 
shoulders.    It  will  be  remembered  that  the 
evening  on  which  this  occurred  was  none 
of  the  warmest.    Retreating  before  finally 
carrying  out  nis  purpose,  John  cried  out, 
shivering  with  cold  :  ^_ 

"  W-w-will  you  marry  me  now  ? 
"No!"  ,    , 

In  he  plunged  again,  this  time  until  the 
water  reached  his  neck,  and  again  he  halt- 
ed before  ihe  la.sl  plunge. 
"  W-w  will  you  marry  me  now  V  " 
"No!" 

Again  he  went  in,  this  lime  going  fairly 
under  water,  .so  fur  that  only  the  lop  of  his 
head  could  l>c  discovered  aliove  the  sur- 
face, but  he  emerged  and  sLaggered  out  of 
Ihc  canal,  and,  shivering  worse  than  ever, 
sputtered  out ; 
"N-now  w-w  will  you  m  marry  me? 
"No!" 

"Well  I  don't  caie  a  d  darn  whether 
you'll  marry  me  or  not.  You  won't  gel  me 
into  that  canal  again  ! " 

Nor  did  he  again  essay  his  fortunes  in 
the  uucerlain  deep.  Shivering  and  chat- 
tering with  his  teeth,  he  quickly  departed 
and  returned  to  his  home  a  sadder,  and,  let 
us  hope,  a  wiser  va&n.—T'olcdo  Blade.

Y(»u  have  doubtlcsa  heard  of  that  famous 
carptt-hag  which  was  associated  with  the 
Waterloo  Bridge  mystery.  Well,  I  am 
about  to  tell  you  a  much  more  dreadful 
story  (or  one  which  seems  to  vie  to  be  so) 
about  another  carpet-bag,  the  owner  of 
which  the  much  vaunted  sagacity  of  the 
police  has  also  failed  to  discover.  la  both 
cases,  however,  as  though  in  revenge  for 
their  own  incapacity,  they  have  not  hesi- 
tated to  cast  a  slur  upon  innocent  individu- 
als. My  ntighber  B.  and  myself  were  re- 
turning, one  November  atternoon,  from  our 
club,  wiiere  1  had  looked  in  as  usual,  just 
to  get  a  glimpse  of  the  evening  paper,  m 
order  t«  take  the  last  telegraphic  intelli- 
gence to  my  wife  at  home,  when,  finding 
ourselves  late  for  our  respective  dinners, 
we  hailed  a  hansom,  and  got  into  it ;  it  be- 
ing arranged  that  I  should  drop  B  within 
a  street's  length  of  his  own  house. 

"  Hullo !"  cried  my  companion,  directly 
we  had  started  oti';  "  why,  here's  a  carpet- 
bag which  somebody  has  left  behind  him." 
"Halves!"  cxclaime<i  1,  with  a  sudden 
and  uncontrollable  impulse,  the  springs  of 
which  lay  far  enough,awp.y  in  those  days  of 
Iwyhood  when  the  rights  of  properly  arc 
so  imperfectly  understood. 

"  Xo,  no,"  replied  B, severely ;  "it  is  not 
yours,  my  fiicnd.  You  know  it  icm  lUuit 
found  it.' 

"  Really,  my  dear  B,"  returned  I,  "  You 
quite  surprise  me.  Y'ou  must  be  aware 
that  it  belongs, to  neither  of  us,  bat  to  the 
unfortunate  person  who  hatl  engaged  this 
hansom." 

*'  Very  true,"  assented  B,  but  a  little  re- 
gretfully, as  1  thought,  at  the  view  I  had 
"deeniod  it  right  to  take ;  for  however 
Divines  may  preach,  and  (which  is  worse) 
the  law  may  dictate,  when  one  has  found 
a  thing,  one  does  seem  to  have  some  sort  of 
a  claim  to  it.  If  I  were  asked  to  point  out 
what  is  pnr  exreUem-e  the  law  of  nature,  I 
snould  answer,  It  is  that  which  is  called  on 
land  "  the  Kight  ol  Trover,"  and  on  the 
seashore  that  of  "  Flotsam  and  Jetsam." 
Here  was  a  carpet-1)ag  left  by  the  tide  ol 
humanity,— or  at  least  by  one  csreless 
wave  of  it, —  and  here  were  We,  its  liiulers, 
— for  it  is  ridiculous  that  B  should  have  a 
priority  of  claim,  just  because  he  happened 
to  plump  down  (without  hurting  himself) 
upon  the  property  in  tiucstion,  which 
might  just  a;i  well  have  been  on  my  side 
of  the  hansom  as  his.  The  (luestion  arose 
then,  How  were  we  to  deal  with  it  'i 

"  It  will  never  do  to  give  it  up  to  the 
cabman,  eh '/"  observed  B,  tentatively  :  "b^; 
will  keep  it  for  himself  to  a  certainty." 

"  Quite  out  of  the  ([uestion,"  assented  I. 
"  The  fello^v  who  lost  it  would  never  have 
a  chance  of  recovering  it." 

"  I  liiink  1  had  belter  take  it  home  and 
advertise  it  in  the  Times,"  suggested  my 
friend. 

"  No,  my  dear  fellow,"  said  I,  firmly : 
"  you  shall  never  be  troubled  to  walk  with 
that  great  black  leather-bag"  (it  was  an 
uncommonly  large  one,)  "through  the 
streets.  The  cab  takes  mc,  you  know,  to 
my  own  door,  so  I'll  take  it  to  rui/  house." 
"  Very  well,"  said  B,  slowly  handing 
over  the  property  into  my  charge,  with  the 
air  of  a  co-trustee,  who,  while  executing 
some  undoubtedly  lawful  deed,  yet  cannot 
help  regretting  that  the  person  who  acts 
with  him  should  happen  to  be  an  attorney. 
"  Yf^u'll  take  great  care  of  it,  won't  you '?" 
"  Of  course  1  will,"  returned  I,  indig- 
nantly. "  I  shall  either  advertise  it  in  the 
Times,  or  take  it  to  the  police  office  the  first 
thing  in  the  morning." 

"Just  so,"  said  B,  who  had  now  arrived 
at  hia  journey's  end.  "  1  should  n't  at  all 
wonder  if  we  saw  a  reward  oflercd  for  it 
to-morrow  in  the  second  column.  If  we 
were  poor  people,  this  might  be  quite  a 
god-send,  might  it  not  f" 

"  You  shall  have  halves,"  said  I,  "  what- 
ever it  is." 

And  so  we  parted  with  another  shout  ol 
merriment.  But  when  1  glanced  through 
the  little  window,  I  sjiw  B  lo<jkinK  afiei 
me  with  an  intensity  of  expression,  which, 
although  we  are  always  sorry  to  wish  each 
oihc  go<xl  by,  I  never  noticed  in  his  friend- 
ly countenance  before. 

It  may  be  asked,  perhaps,  how  it  was 
that  the  cabman,  seeing  mc  enter  his  vehi- 
cle without  luggage,  and  emerge  from  it 
with  the  property  in  question,  did  not  at 
once  question  my  right  to  the  same ;  for  it 
is  scarcely  to  be  supposed  that  he  was  met- 
aphysician enough  to  allow  that  I  could 
have  evolved  not  only  the  idea  of  a  carpet- 
bag, but  a  carpet-bag  itself,  out  of  my  in- 
ner consciousness. 

The  reply  to  this  apparent  difficulty  is, 
that  it  wa.?  dark.  Moreover,  I  won't  swear 
that  I  did  not  hold  the  carpet-bag  rather 
behind  me,  so  as  to  shield  it  from  observa- 
tion, while  I  paid  the  man  his  full  fare  and 
sixpence  over,  for  which,  as  usual,  he  did 
not  stay  to  thank  me,  but  drove  swiftly 
away. 

My  wife  was  exceedingly  interested  in 
this  carpetbag~a  black  one,  evidently 
Divided  within  into  compartments — and 
punched  it  vigorously,  with  the  object  of 
discovering,  from  the  nature  of  the  resist- 
ance otlered,  what  was  the  character  of  its 
contents.  "  If  we  could  open  it,"  argued 
she,  "  we  should  surely  learn  from  internal 
evidence  the  name  and  address  of  the 
owner,  and  l)C  able  to  forward  it  to  him 
immediitelv." 

Bat  when  all  the  little  keys  in  our  pos- 
session had  been  tried  without  effect  upon 
lis  patent  lock,  we  decided  that  it  could 
not  possibly  contain  anything  beyond  a 
change  of  ^clothes— probably  some  poor 


..^^s 


gentleman's  evening  suit, — and  a  couple  'o 
hair  brushes.  There  was  no  doubt  about 
UuiM,  for  I  could  feel  their  bristles  througli 
the  leather.  Under  these  circumstances, 
the  expenditure  of  Bcven-aud  sixpence  in 
an  advertisement  in  the  Tmiea  was  not  to 
1)6  dre^eil  of,  and  I  made  up  my  mind  to 
"communicate  with  the  police.'*  There 
was  also  something  authoritative,  and 
which  seerned  to  confer  importance  upon 
one,  in  such  an  act.  People  who  are  des- 
cribed as  "  taking  that  very  pr»>per  course," 
in  the  newspaper,  always  strike  one  in  the 
light  of  public  benefactors.  Moreover, 
although  nothing  was  really  ever  further 
from  my  thoughts  (and  I  think  I  may  add 
even  from  B's)  than  to  appropriate  that 
carpet-bag  or  its  contents  to  my  own  uses, 
yet  there  was  a  certain  sense  of  self-sacri- 
fice in  the  action,  or,  at  all  events,  of  the 
most  heroic  honesty.  AiisUdes  himself 
could  not  have  behavwl  more  justly :  it  was 
a  proceeding  that  even  Draco  would  have 
spoken  of  ti'om  the  bench,  1  thought,  in 
terms  of  the  highest  praise.  At  all  events, 
1  should  be  looked  upon  by  the  police  au- 
thorities—accustomed  to  deal  witn  persons 
actuated  by  such  very  dillerent  sentiments 
— with  something  more  than  cold  respect. 
In  a  word,  I  don't  remember  to  luve  ever 
felt  more  selfcomplacent  than  when  I  took 
my  way,  after  luncheon,  the  next  day  (a 
Saturday),  to  the  nearest  police  station, 
with  the  intention  of  supplying  the  Inspec- 
tor with  that  mysterious  mental  aliment 
which  Sir  Richard  Maync  calls  "  informa- 
tion received," 

Having  reached  the  office,  and  being  told 
by  the  policeman  on  duty  in  the  ante- 
chamber to  "  pass  on" — as  though  1  were 
an  apple-woman  obstructing  the  pavement 
—I  soon  found  myself  in  the  presence  t>f 
his  superior,  and  undergoing  the  minutest 
inspection  from  that  sagacious  person. 
His  eye  measured  me,  as  though  he  had 
been  my  tailor,  from  my  head  to  my  knees, 
and  doubtless  would  have  gone  further, 
and  literally  "  taken  the  length  of  my  foot," 
but  for  a  great  counter  which  intervenetl 
between  him  and  me,  and  curtailed  his  in- 
vestigations, although  by  no  means  his 
curiosity .  I  never  was  so  looked  at  before 
in  all  my  life ;  and  it  was  at  this  moment  I 
bej,an  to  feel  regret  tliat  I  had  so  enjoyed 
the  misfortunes  of  those  three  victims  to 
the  P  division  at  the  Crystal  Palace. 

"  I  have  found  a  carpet-bag,"  said  I,  m  a 
hesitating  tone. 

'  L  mph  !"  returned  the  Inspector,  turn- 
ing over  the  leaves  of  a  great  ledger,  and 
looking  as  though  he  was  about  to  mention 
that  it  was  his  duty  to  warn  me  that  any 
admission  that  1  might  make  would  be 
use»l  against  me.  "Linph!"  repeated  he, 
still  more  severely;  "  that  is  a  very  odd 
tiling  to  ^nd,  sir,  indccii." 

Now,  really,  I  put  it  to  any  one,  teas  this 
fair?  Why  should  he  have  said  that':' 
We  were  in  London,  a  populous  city,  where 
almost  everybody  who  possesses  a  change 
of  raiment  also  owns  a  carpet-bag,  and  is 
liable  to  lose  it.  It  the  celcbratetl  New 
Zealander  had  arrived,  and  was,  with  his 
scantily-attired  nation,  solely  in  the  occu- 
pation of  the  metropolis,  such  an  innuendo 
could  have  been  hardly  justified  ;  but  as  it 
was,  it  seemed  to  me  quite  insulting. 

"  Sir,"  said  I,  (turning,  1  have  no  doubt, 
very  red),  "I  found  it  in  a  hansom." 

"  Ah  !"  returned  the  Inspe<jtor,  with  the 
fierce  exultation  of  a  wild  animal  who  fan- 
cies he  scents  blood,  "  you  found  it  in  a 
hansom." 

"  Yes," observed  I,  with  irritation ;  "I've 
got  it  now.  I  don't  want  it.  You  may 
send  for  it  if  you  like." 

"  Be  good  enough  to—"    No,  that's  just 
what   he   did    not   say.     Gratitude   I  had 
ceased  to  expect  fr<jm  this  person,  but  I 
did  expect  common  civility,  and  I  wasdis 
appointed. 

"  St«.tc  the  circumslances,"  was  all  he 
said ;  and  he  took  un  his  pen  and  wrote 
them  down  with  malignant  deliberation. 
At  this  point  1  began  in  my  mind's  eye  to 
sec  the  court  in  the  (.Hd  Bailey,  not  from 
the  grand-jury  box,  whcrefrom  I  had  be- 
held it  in  the  flesh,  but  from  the  point  ot 
view  enjoyed  by  the  prisoner  in  the  d»«:k. 
Suapicion,  arrest,  conviction,  (for  all  I 
knew)  penal  servitude  for  life,  was  what  I 
now  expected,  instead  of  that  autograph 
letter  from  the  Home  Secretary  compli 
menting  me  upon  my  sagacity  and  recti 
tude,  with  the  receipt  of  which  my  ima- 
ginalion  had  flattered  mc  as  I  came  along. 
"  Now,  sir,"  said  he,  gloomily,  when  I 
had  quite  finisluHl,  "you  have  done  very 
wrong,  and  something  entirely  unjusti 
liable." 

Dear  mc,  dear  me  I  how  1  wished  I 
had  let  B  carry  home  that  carpetbag,  as 
he  had  so  prcssingly  oflcred  to  do,  instead 
of  nic.  How  I  wished  I  had  put  it  behind 
the  fire.  How  I  wished  I  was  going  to  sail 
for  Ulaga  that  evening,  per  clipper  ship 
Swiftture,  whose  departure  I  had  seen  ad- 
vertised on  the  wall  of  the  police-station  as 
I  came  in.  Every  detail  of  what  I  had  re- 
marked coming  along  the  streets  crowded 
before  my  eyes,  just  as  the  novelists  des- 
cribe them  to  do  in  the  cases  ol  condemned 
or  moribund  persons.  The  Inspector's 
accents  smote  upon  my  car  like  the  strokes 
ot  a  passing  bell. 

"  Your  manifest  duly,  sir,  was  to  inform 
the  cabman  that  the  property  in  question, 
— very  liliely  documents  of  priceless 
worth,—" 

"No,"  interrupted  I,  hastily;  "hair- 
brushes." The  next  moment,  by  the  ex- 
pression of  his  face,  I  felt  that  I  had  made 
a  great  mistake. 

"  Hair-brushes !"  said  he,  slowly,  suiting 
the  action  to  the  word  by  slowly  stroking 
one  of  his  mutton  chop  whiskcrr. :  "  then 
you've  opened  it,  have  you?" 

"  No,  no,''  said  1,  imploringly  ;  "  none  of 
our  keys  would  fit  the  lock."  Here  1  eaw 
that  I  had  made  another  unfortunate  mis- 
take. 

"  (),  indeed  !"  was  all  the  Inspector  said, 
but  he  looked  volumes, — the  whole  four 
volumes  of  the  Newgate  Calendar. 

"  Your  obvious  duty,  m  the  Jird  in- 
stance," returned  he,  with  meaning,  "  was 
to  have  given  up  the  property  to  the  cab- 
man in  order  that  it  might  have  been  at 
once  conveyed  t<j  the  Lost-Parcels'  Of- 
fice—" 

"  Dear  me,"  cried  I,  with  sudden  vehem- 
ence, "  so  I  ought,  of  course !  I  quite  for- 
got about  the  Lost  Parcels'  Office. " 

"Ah,  you  knew  of  it,  then,  but  you  for- 
got it,"  returned  the  Inspector  in  a  tone  of 
sarcasm  that  I  have  heard  my  brother-in- 
law,  who  is  a  country  magistrate,  use  to 
poachers  found  with  partriogo  nets  in  their 
accidental  possession.  "  You  will  be  g<KHl 
enough  to  favor  mc  with  your  address." 

I  gave  it  him,  of  course.  I  would  have 
made  him  a  present  of  the  lease  ol  my 
house,  if  it  would  have  mollified  him  at 
that  moment. 

"  More  than  twenty-four  hours  will  have 
elapsed  l>efore  this  carpet  bag  can  be  sent 
to  ita  proper  dcsUnation,"  pursued  he; 
"  therefore  the  owner  will  probably  have 
called  at  the  Lost  Parcels'  Office,  and  not 
finding  it  there,  will  conclude — and  indeed 
.  the  authorities  will  tell  him  so— that  all 
further  search  is  vain.  Cabmen  are  bound 
to  return  articles  so  discovered  within 
twelve  hours,  and  if  they  do  not  do  so,  it 
is  liecausc  they  arc  thieves." 

"  Exactly  so,"  urged  I,  despairingly ; 
"  that  is  why  I  deemed  it  safer  to  take  this 
home  with  me;  I  thought  the  cabman 
might  not  be  trustworthy." 

"You  could  have  taken  his  number  I 
suppose,"  remarked  the  Inspector  cynical- 
ly. "  It  is  too  late  to  forward  the  article 
to  Scotland-yard  to  night ;  you  had  better 
bring  it  hither  yourself  on  Monday. 
Good  morning." 

He  did  not  say  "  GtH)d  morning"  like  a 
parting  salutation  at  all.  It  secmeil  to  ex- 
press, •'  Y'ou  may  go  now,  but  on  your  per- 
sonal recognizances  to  re  appear  here  with- 
in eight-and-forty  hours.  1  have  not  done 
with  you,  nor  anything  like  it.  I  hare 
got  my  eye  upon  you;  my  myrmidons 
shall  have  their  orders.  A  man  that  can 
sec  hair-brushes  through  the  leather  of  a 
carpet-bag,  and  yet  forgets  the  existence  of 
a  Lost-Parcels'  Office,  is  not  likely  to  come 


to  good ;  I  shall  sec  you  again.  Good 
morning." 

^_;)^  lu^rmcdiaU  JSaUtath  waa^  by  uo- 
means  a  day  of  rest  to  me.  BHck  Care 
that  sits  t^ehind  the  horseman,  seemed  al- 
ways to  be  sitting  in  front  of  me  in  the 
form  of  a  leathern  carpet-bag.  If  an  in- 
cubus ever  took  that  form,  I  pity  those  of 
lay  anceslres.scs  who  were  witches.  My 
wife.to  whom  I  had  communicated  my  ap- 
prehensions, pictured  her  beloved  hus- 
band with  a  mask  en  (as  beheld  in  Never 
too  late  to  ^U«?7Mi  at  the  Princess's  Theatre), 
shorn  of  his  name,  and  answering  to  a 
number  with  four  figures  in  it.  We  were 
about  to  retire  to  rest  upon  that  Simday 
night  at  leu-thirty,  as  usual,  when  the  par- 
lor-maid came  up  to  the  drawing-room 
Willi  a  very  pale  face,  to  say  that  there 
was  a  couple  uf  policemen  in  the  hall  who 
wanted  to  speak  with  me. 

"  They  shall  never  part  us !"  exclaimed 
my  wife,  with  a  shriek  of  agony.  "O 
Walter,  SValter,  why  did  you  laugh  at 
those  pobr  people  at  the  Crystal  Palace 
who  were  falsely  accused  of  picking  pock- 
ets?" 

I  unbatred  the  shutters  and  looked  out 
into  our  crescent.  Y'cs,  as  I  had  suspected, 
there  wetc  two  other  policemen  watching 
the  house  from  outside. 

"  Heavfcn  bless  you,  Polly,"  said  I  with 
pathos ;  ''  you  at  least  will  know  that  I  am 
innocent."  Then  taking  advantage  of  the 
temporary  unconsciousness  induced  by  hys- 
terics I  tore  myself  away  from  her  side. 

In  our  little  hall  there  stood  the  largest 
policeman  I  ever  saw  out  of  a  pantomime, 
and  one  almost  as  big  was  standing  behind 
him.  Each  had  a  dark  lantern  stuck  in 
hia  belt,  which  gave  them  an  awful  ap- 
pearance ;  and  the  cook  and  the  kitchen- 
maiil  were  regarding  them  as  though  they 
were  a  couple  of  Guy  Fa wkcscs,  with  un- 
feigned amazement.  It  was  not  the 
"amazement"  spoken  of  iu  the  marriage- 
service;  liowtcvr,  between  them  and  those 
policemen  there  was,  for  once,  no  tender 
bond  of  sympathy,  I  feel  certain ;  they 
were  almost  as  frightened  as  their  master. 
"  Here  I  am,"  said  I,  holding  my  hand 
before  me,  as  I  had  seen  all  heroic  crimi- 
nals do  upon  the  stage,  when  "  the  game  is 
up,"  and  "  the  darbicb"  must  be  put  on, 
and  why  not  with  a  good  grace  V 

"  Yes,  fir,"  returned  the  giant,  respect- 
fully; "I'm  sorry  to  trouble  you,  but  the 
fact  is  we  susncct  there's  somebody  m  that 
empty  house  (he  was  Irish,  of  course) 
"next  door:  we  have  been  directed  to 
watch  it,  and  a  certain  mark  which  we  set 
upon  it  has  l)een  removed,  whereby  we 
know  that  some  person  has  entered  who 
has  no  right  to  be  there.  The  owner  is 
out  of  town,  8{)  if  you  will  kindly  let  us 
get  out  of  your  garret  window  and  on  to 
the  roof—" 

"  Gentlemen,"  crietl  I,  in  a  rapture,  "the 
whole  house  is  at  your  sci  vice.  I  respect 
the  law  above  all  things.  What  would 
you  take  to  drink  ?" 

The  revulsion  of  feeling  was  almost  too 
much  for  me.  It  is  unnecessary  to  describe 
how  enthusiastically  I  seconded  the  efforts 
of  "  the  force,"  accompanying  them  to  the 
very  roof-top,  and  only  leaving  them  when 
they  made  their  burglarious  entry  into  the 
next  door,  and  the  possibility  arose  of  a 
contest  with  robbers.  They  almost  fri<'ht- 
ened  my  eldest  child  into  a  tit  as  they 
trampwl  by  her  apartment,  but  I  assured 
llieiu  that  she  was  used  to  fily,  and  that  il 
w>i.s  of  no  consequence. 

In  short,  i!  ever  a  man  showed  himself  a 
good  citizen,  and  dc^rving  of  the  anpro- 
l»,ition  of  "  the  authorities,"  il  was  1.  I 
evi'n  venMin;  I,  whil.-  p'uhin.i;  the  big  man 
through  tiie  garret- wintlow  (where  he 
Pluck  fast,  and  had  to  liavc  his  lantern 
tiiken  ofi),  to  give  him  the  heads  of  the 
carpet  bag  story,  iu  or.icr  that  he  might 
retail  them  in  the  proper  ([Uaiter.  But  he 
gave  me  to  uu<lerstand  that  "misdemean- 
ors" were  not  in  his  line,  whicii  lay  rather 
in  the  suppression  of  "burglaries  with  vio- 
lence." 1  don't  know  whether  they  found 
anybo«ly  in  that  uninhabited  house  or  not; 
and  I  don't  care. 

The  next  morning  1  once  more  betook 
myself,  c)\rpet  bag  fn  Jiand,  t<j  the  police 
station.  There  was  another  Inspector 
hitting  at  the  receipt  of  rascaldom,  and  I 
had  to  tell  all  my  story  over  again. 

"  When  did  you  furnish  this    informa- 
tion .•""  a.skcd  this  terrible  ofilcial,  who  was 
twice  as  ferocious  as  the  other. 
"  Yesterday,"  said  I. 
"  Ycslerday,"  returned  he  in  an  awful 
voice ;  "why,  1  was  here  all  day  yesterday. 
What  time  was  it  when,  acrovdinfj  to  your 
oicn  ncfoutit,  you  came  here  to  give  up  this 
property  f 
"  About  three  o'clock."  said  I. 
"1  was  hero  at  three.      Number  foity- 
two,  wasn't  I  here  at  three  ©'clock  yester- 
day -r 

"Slop!"  cried  I;  "I  forgot;  it  was 
Saturday.  Of  course  I  couldrrt  come  here 
on  a  Sunday." 

Y'ou  should  have  heanl  the  Inspector's 
"  Umph  !"  when  I  said  that.  If  that  man 
ever  goes  to  church  of  his  own  free  will, 
I'll  forfeit  my  character  for  the  second 
lime— and  1  don't  intend  to\lo  that  in  a 
hurry. 

"  Well,  we've  got  your  address,"  said  he 
"  We  know  where  to  find  you,  if  anything 
should  arise  further  out  of  this  matter." 

"  Further  v"  cried  I.  "  Why  you've  got 
the  carpet  bag  and  all  that's  in  it.  What 
can  arise  out  of  it  further?" 

"  It's  impossililc  to  say,"  returned  the 
Inspector,  dryly.  "  But  suppose— I  only 
say  suppose — the  whole  story  should  be  a 
device  for  getting  rid  of  a — here  be  point- 
ed to  the  dreadful  carpet  bag--"  something 
hinconwenicnt." 

"OofKl  heave^^^!''  cried  I  luruing  pale 
wilh  horror,  "  not  a  dead  body  f 

"  Just  so,"  nodded  the  Insueclor ;  "  who 
knows?" 

I  found  myj^eir  at  home  somehow  ;  but 
the  shock  had  a  serious  cllect  upon  my 
system.  When  I  found  myself  well  enough 
to  revisit  the  club,  B's  cheery  laugh  grated 
upon  my  ears  very  unpleawntly.  He 
would  have  laughed,  if  I  may  use  the  vul-

"  Haju>g  "  IN  Yale  CotLEOE.- The 
Yale  College  "  hazing  "  has  begun  again. 
The  Yale  Courant  says  ;  We  had  hoped 
thai  this  disgraceful  practice  had  fallen  in- 
to such  disrepute  among  us,  that  we  at 
least,  while  in  college,  would  not  be  called 
upon  to  record  its  occurrence.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  senior  class  will  doubtless  re- 
member an  instande  of  it  which  took 
place  in  their  freshman  year.  The  perpe- 
trators were  severely  punished,  not  only 
by  the  action  of  the  faculty,  but  also  by 
the  contempt  in  which  the  affair  was  held 
by  the  students.  Since  then  nothing  of 
the  sort  has  come  to  our  notice  until  a  few 
days  since. 

One  evening  last  week,  just  after  sun- 
set, a  hack  drove  up  to  a  door  of  a  house 
on  Cnttvn  street,  where  a  member  of  '71 
was  rooming.     What  professed  tn  be  an 

old  man  alightcxl,  and  informed  Mr. 

that  some  one  in  the  hack  wished  to  sec 
him.  Advancing  to  the  door  of  the  hack 
he  was  forced  into  it,  his  mouth  stopped, 
and  the  hack  driven  to  "  East  Ilock." 
The    Sophs    (four  or    five  in  number), 

who  had  kidnapped  Mr. ,    then  cut 

the  hair  from  the  top  of  bis  head,  and 
after  various  other  insults,  drove  away, 
leaving  him  to  make  his  way  back  as  best 
he  could.  We  have  no  words  to  express 
our  contempt  for  such  a  dastardly  sncak- 
ODg  performance. 


Clerical  T<rblc-Talk. 

Jii.  Uilly  related  tlxc  following  anecdote, 
WKich  was  told  by  "ft"  Well-known  Irish 
character,  Thaddeus  Connolly,  who  used 
to  spend  much  of  hia  time  in  wandering 
through  Ireland  and  instructing  the  lower 
classes  in  their  native  language :  "  1  \yent," 
.said  he,  "one  Sunday  into  a  church  to 
which  a  new.  incumbent  had  been  lately 
appointed.  The  co'.igregation  did  not 
exceed  half  a  dozen,  but  the  preacher  de- 
livered himself  with  as  much  energy  and 
allection  as  if  he  was  addressing  a  crowd- 
ed liudicuce.  After  the  service  I  expressed 
to  the  clergyman  my  wonder  that  he 
should  preach  so  fervently  to  such  a  small 
number  of  people.  '  Were  there  but  one,' 
said  the  rector,  '  my  anxiety  for  his  im 
provemcut  would  make  me  equally  ener 
getic.' " 

The  following  year  Connolly  went  into 
the  same  church ;  the  conurcgation  was 
multiplied  seventy  fold.  The  third  year 
he  found  the  church  full. 

The  following  has  been  going  the  rounds 
of  the  newspapers.  Men  seem  to  forget 
that  the  distinctions  of  clean  and  unclean 
beast  were  expressly  abolished  in  the  vision 
of  St.  Peter  on  the  house-top  of  Simon, 
the  tanner,  just  before  he  was  called  to 
Cornelius,  the  centurion  : 

Dr.  Adam  Clark,  who  liad  a  strong 
aversion  to  pork,  was  called  upon  to  say 
a  grace  at  dinner  where  the  principal 
dish  was  a  roast  pig.  He  is  reported  to 
have  said  :  "  O  Lord,  if  Thou  canst  bless 
under  the  Gospel  what  Thou  didst  curFc 
under  the  law,  bless  this  pig." 

When  Howland  Hill  was,  some  yea.rs 
ago,  in  Scotland,  he  was  introduced  to  an 
aged  minister,  somewhat  resembling  him 
self  in  piety  and  eccentricity.  The  old 
man  looked  at  him  lor  some  lime  very 
earncetly,  and  at  length  said :  "  Weel,  I 
have  lieen  looking  for  some  teem  at  the 
leens  of  your  face."  "  And  what  do  you 
think  of  it  ?"  said  Mu  HUl.  "  Why,  1  am 
thinking  that,  if  the  grace  of  God  hiul  na 
changeetyour  heart,  you  would  ha'  been 
a  most  'tremendous  rogue."  Mr.  Hill 
laughed  heartily  and  said ;  Well,  you  have 
just  hit  the  nail  on  the  head. 

Let  clergymen  beware  how  they  attempt 
to  speak  in  a  stilted  style  to  children,  or 
ask  them  questions.  Somewhere  we  saw 
the  following  story : 

A  clergyman,  on  a  Sunday  School  occa 
sion,  was  speaking  to  a  large  audience  ot 
children,  when  he  saw  tiiat  he  must  do 
something  to  arouse  their  attention.  Just 
then  he  had  spoken  of  Peler,  so  he  i)au8ed, 
and  asked  if  any  one  of  the  children  could 
tell  him  anything  alwut  Peter  ?  but  their 
mouths  were  all  closed.  He  appealed  t«> 
the  older  scholars— younger  scholars,  and 
then  at  last  he  came  to  the  youngest,  and 
he  said,  "comenow,  little  ones,  shame  your 
ciders,  and  tell  me  sometlung  about  Pe- 
ter." 

"  I  can,"  exclaimed  a  liltle  four-year  old. 

"  Can  you  ?  That  is  a  got)d  girl.  Well 
come  right  up  here,  and  tell  us  all  you 
know  about  Peler." 

The  little  girl  was  passed  forward  to  the 
stage. 

"Now,"  said  the  speaker,  " let  us  hear 
what  you  know  about  Peter.  Speak  right 
o-at." 

The  little  girl  spoke  : 

"I'eter,  Peter, 
Pumpkin  cater,"  etc. 

Oh,  dreadful  fall.  Had  the  speaker 
spoken  nf  St.  Peter,  perhaps  the  litUc  girl 
might  have  done  Ixjltcr.  But  let  those 
who  address  children  beware  how  they 
trust  tho.sc  little  minds,  lor  no  one  knows 
what  associations  he  may  wake  nj) 

An  American  once  allenipting  to  ad- 
dress a  Parisian  audience  in  French,  ex- 
temporaneously, earnestly  exhorted  them 
to  take  of  the  water  of  life  freely,  in  a  lit- 
eral translation  from  the  English  "cd^r  dc 
ric,"  the  French  for  brandy,  (he  should 
have  used  the  phr&Hc  " cau  viiuiit").  The 
audience  lu.sl  the  force  ot  the  exhortation 
entirely. 

A  Frenchman  once  returned  the  compli 
mcnt  in  English,  by  endeavoring  to  give 
the    benediction    in  the   following  form  : 
"May    the    good    Lonl   pickle  you;"  he 
meant  preserve. 

A  clergyman  going  to  a  miserly  oiil  lady 
to  beg  for  a  worthy  object  fonn<l  himself

he  expressed  great  surpii^e  thereat,  and 
said,  "I  had  not  thought  you  in  such 
want."  and  thrn  taking  out  some  money 
he  said,  "  here  is  something  that  will  do  for 
the  present  purpose;  when  I  call  again  I 
will  give  you  more."  The  old  lady  was  so 
enraged  that  she  gave  him  a  good  round

A  writer  iu  the  Lond«m  Mcchnnirs'  }fiig 
I  nine  says : 

It  is  supposed  by  some  that  the  mel;il3 
were  formed  or  deposited  in  sonic  past  age 
of  the  world  by  the  agency  cither  of  heat 
or  water,  during  some  great  convulsions 
of  Nature,  such  as  have  not  been  wit- 
nessed in  the  period  embraced  by  written 
history  or  tradition.  There  are  reasons 
for  doubting  the  reliability  of  this  r>pin- 
ion.  That  various  mineral  substances  are 
now  in  process  of  formation  or  develop- 
ment is  certain.  For  instance,  the  forma- 
tion of  stone  is  as  apparent  as  its  disin- 
tegration. On  the  beach  at  Lynn,  Mass., 
(says  the  TSrientific  Americcn),  may  be 
seen  a  conglomeration  o"  clay  and  sili- 
cioussand  impregnated  with  ferrcous  oxide, 
in  all  stages,  from  the  separated  particles 
to  the  layers  of  hardened  rock.  These 
rocks  are  merely  the  particles  of  sand,  co- 
gered  and  aglutinated  by  means  of  the 
clay  and  the  oxide  of  ir«n,  the  salt  water 
acting  as  a  solvent  of  the  softer  particles, 
and  the  sun's  rays  compacting  and  baking 
altogether  In  one  mass.  So,  also,  wc  know 
that  coal  is  being  formed  from  peat.  The 
intermediate  stage  is  lignite  or  "  brown 
coal,"  which,  in  turn,  b«;omes  coal. 

It  is  morally  certain  that  gold,  silver, 
copper,  and  some  other  metals  arc  now 
in  process  of  lormation  or  deposition. 
Abandoned  silver  mines  in  Peru  have 
been  found  rich  in  aborcscent  deposits  of 
the  metals  on  the  walls  of  galleries  un- 
used for  years.  A  gold-bearing  region 
after  having  been  cleaned  of  the  precious 
metal  gives  pood  results  alter  the  lapse  of 
a  few  years.  St>  wilh  copper.  In  the  Si- 
berian mines  not  only  the  precious  carbon- 
ate known  as  malachite,  but  the  metal 
itself,  in  a  state  of  almost  absolute  purity, 
is  deposited  on  the  walls,  roofs,  and  floors 
of  the  galleries  run  under  the  earth's  sur- 
face, fn  some  places  il  appears  in  masses, 
and  m  others  as  tree-like  formations,  with 
trunk  and  branches  similar  to  a  delicate 
moss.  What  becomes  of  all  the  gold  and 
silver  unav«)idab!y  wasted  in  the  process 
of  manufacture  and  the  wear  of  trans- 
mission from  hand  to  hand  currency  ?  It 
is  well  known  that  wilh  all  the  care  exer- 
cised in  the  manufacture  of  these  precious 
metals,  and  notwithstanding  their  specific 
gravity,  an  appreciable  portion  of  them  is 
utterly  wasted ;  at  least  so  distributed  as 
to  be  incapable  of  being  collected  and  used 
again.  Is  il  annihilated  ?  The  teachings 
of  science  prove  this  to  be  ijuMo&sible. 
Nothing  is  ever  wasted.  If  the  particles 
are  thrown  into  the  atmosphere,  they  must 
in  time  seek  the  earth's  surface.  Arc  they 
attracted  by  some  miknown  power  to  cer- 
tain localiUes,  and  if  not  why  should  not 
the  streets  of  a  busy  city  bc(  omc  in  time  de- 
posits of  the  precious  metals  ?  Perhaps, 
after  all,  the  old  achtmists  had  an  inspi- 
ration of  what  may  yet  become  un  fait 
ac^mpli.  When  wc  understand  the  won- 
derful process  of  Nature's  laboratory,  we 
may  possibly  imitate  her  and  grow  our 
own  metals  as  we  now  do  our  own  vege- 
tabl(;s;  or  we  may  find  the  philoso- 
pher's stone,  and  actually  collect  the  parti- 
cles of  metals,  if  we  caimot  transmute  a 
base  mineral  into  one  of  the  precious  mct- 
ala.

An  Absurd  ^luerj-. 

The  following  "  how  is  it  ?"  from  a  news- 
paper, is  of  course  an  absurdity,  but  it 
gives  rise  to  reflection  : 

"  Suppose  a  man  and  a  girl  were  to  get 
married — the  man  thirty-five  years  old, 
and  the  girl  five  years,  this  makes  the  man 
seven  times  as  old  as  the  girl ;  they  live 
together  until  the  girl  is  ten  years  old  ; 
this  makes  the  man  fi^rty  years  old,  and 
four  times  as  old  as  the  girl]:  and  they  still 
live  until  she  is  fifteen,  the  man  would  be 
forty-five,  this  makes  the  man  three  times 
as  old,  and  they  still  live  until  she  is  thirty 
years  old,  this  ;:.ake3  the  man  sixty,  only 
twice  as  old,  and  soon.  Now  how  long 
would  they  have  t  >  live  to  make  the  girl 
as  old  as  the  man':" 

This  is  as  absurd  as  the  girl  ot  twenty, 
who  was  about  to  marry  a  man  of  forty, 
and  who  wept  to  think  that  when  she 
would  be  fifty  and  still  vigorous,  he  would 
be  a  hundred  years  old  !  It  is  curious,  how- 
ever, when  we  reflect  how  su  we  grow  old- 
er, we  gain  on  our  elders ;  how  the  man  ot 
thirty,  whom  we  looked  up  to  at  twenty, 
becomes  nearer  our  own  age  as  we  move 
along  in  years.

STU.VUNO     with    THE     ToNOUK. — TllC 

Paris  papers  reveal  a  new  style  of  thefl 
by  which  jewelers  arc  victimized.  The 
professor  of  the  ingenious  device  presents 
himself  iu  the  shop  (jf  a  dealer  in  dia- 
monds and  pearls,  and  asks  to  see  some 
small  unset  stones.  He  is  well  dressed, 
and  wears  colored  ppcclacles.  The  stones 
arc  laid  before  him,  spread  on  paper. 
Being  very  nearsighted,  as  his  glasses 
prove,  he  is  obliged  to  bring  hia  eye  so  near 
to  the  gems  that  he  can  pick  them  up  with 
the  tip  of  his  tongue,  and  he  keeps  them 
in  his  mouth  until  out  of  the  shop.  It  he 
fears  detection,  which  seldom  occurs,  he 
swallows  his  treasure— whence  the  slang 
name  ol  "  S?.'allow-il-raw,"  given  this  class 
of  artists  by  tne  thieves' fraternity.  One 
of  them  was  caught  recently.  The  dia- 
mond merchant,  put  upon  his  guard  by  a 
victim,  said  he  had  no  small  st<^)ue6,  but 
would  have  a  large  supply  the  nc.\t  day. 
A  policeman  was  in  waiting ;  the  dia- 
monds were  laid  out  uj>on  paper  previous- 
ly impregnated  with  an  extremely  bitter 
drug,  which,  when  the  thief  gave  his  lick, 
acted  BO  violently  on  his  sense  of  taste, 
that  he  was  fain  to  reject  what  he  hatl  just 
taken.  The  policeman  appeared,  and  the 
"Swallow-it-raw  "  was  taken  iu  the  act. 

BuKNS.— In  regard  to  the  treatment  ot 
burns  there  is  a  great  diversity  of  opinion, 
scarcely  any  two  surgeons  agreeing  as  to 
the  remedies.  All  of  them  are  doubtless 
valuable,  but  there  is  one  which  has  a 
great  reputation— carbon  oil,  liraewatcr, 
and  linseed  oil.  The  great  objection  to  it 
is  it*  oflensive  (xlor,  rendering  an  entire 
ward  disagreeable.  When  the  burn  ia  very 
superficial,  simply  inUaming  or  vesicating 
the  part,  covering  it  up  with  flour,  and 
then  placing  a  layer  of  cotlou  over  it  so  as 
to  exclude  the  air,  makes  a  very  comforta- 
ble dressing.  Another  method  consists  in 
applying  cold  water,  and  another,  warm 
water  covered  with  oiled  silk  and  a  band- 
age. Lanl,  deprived  of  salt,  and  simple 
cerate  make  plca.sant  applications.  The 
profession  is  indebted  to  l^rof.  Gross  for 
the  introduction  of  white  lead  anil  linseed 
oil  in  the  treatment  of  burns.  It  is  one  ol 
the  very  best  applications  whicii  am  be 
used,  efl'ectualiy  excluding  tlic  air,  ami 
being  always  grateful  to  the  patient.  In 
all  cases,  no  matter  whether  merely  the 
skin,  or  the  deeper  strut^turesarc  involved, 
white  lead  rubbed  up  with  linseed  oil  to 
the  consistence  of  paste  or  paint,  and 
placed  on  with  a  brush,  will  be  found  pro- 
ductive of  great  relief.  There  dfxis  not 
appear  to  be  any  risk  from  the  constitu- 
tional influence  of  the  lead,  though  it  has 
been  suggested,  to  counteract  any  tenden- 
cy of  this  kintl,  that  the  patient  should 
take  occasionally  a  little  sulphate  ol  mag- 
nesia.— Medical  and  Surgical  Jiejiorter. 


Haviso  it  Out. — A  gentleman  riding 
through  the  country,  a  few  days  since,  ap- 
proached a  fence  corner,  when  his  cars 
were  greeted  by  exclamations  of  anger,  ac- 
companied by  vigorous  thwacks  on  some 
object  that,  judging  from  the  dust  arising 
from  the  locality,  was  anything  but  patient 
under  the  affliction.  Approaching  the 
spot,  our  informant  beheld  a  tow-headed 
urchin  of  twelve  summers,  belaboring, 
with  all  the  strength  he  was  master  of, 
what  seemed  to  be  a  most  stubborn  speci- 
men of  the //en?/,  mule.  The  operation  did 
not  apparently  discommode  the  beast  fur- 
ther than  to  arouse  its  "  mulishness,"  and 
to  which  It  gave  vent  by  a  series  of  kicks 
that  would  do  honor  to  Castello's  circus 
ring.  At  this  Juncture,  our  infomoant 
ventured  to  remonstrate,  when  the  follow- 
ing explanation  was  vouchsafed :  "  Dad 
whips  mam,  (whack — kick,)  mam  whips 
sis,  (whack— kick,)  and  sis,  (gratuitous 
kicks,)  darn  her,  bealn  me,  an'  I'm  going  to

latn  Farmer  that  after  an  experience  of 
more  than  ten  years,  he  finds  two  bushels 
of  steamed  hay  are  worth  three  bushels  ol 
unsteamed,  and  that  one  quart  of  corn 
meal  steamed  with  a  bash?!  oi  straw  is 
equal  to  a  bushel  of  hay. 

John  Joiixso>'  writes  to  the  American 
Farmer  that  sheep  fat  more  ra,  wily  in  Oc- 
tober and  November,  if  they  have  first- 
rate  pasture,  than  at  any  other  season  of 
the  year.  In  fattening  sheep  during  the 
winter,  it  is  of  special  importance  that 
they  be  in  good  condition  before  being  piit 
on  their  winter  feed. 

PiCKLiKO  CucTJMCERS. — Malcc  a  pickle 
as  follows :  one  part  vinegar,  two  parts 
water,  three  parts  salt,  to  which  add  four 
ounces  of  horse-radish  for  every  half  bar- 
rel. Fill  the  cask,  or  whatever  vessel  is 
to  hold  the  pickles,  half  full  of  this  pickle ; 
pick  the  cucumbers  with  the  butt  of  the 
stem  on,  and  wipe  and  put  them  into  the 
vessel.  When  it  is  full,  place  a  cloth  over 
the  cucumbers,  and  a  board,  nicely  fitted, 
over  the  cloth ;  a  stone  should  be  placed  on 
the  board  to  keep  the  cucumbers  under 
the  piCKle.  When  needed  for  use,  soak 
and  put  them  in  vinegar  as  usual. 

A  Lesson  fou  Fak.meks.— Mr.  John 
Tucker,  of  Franklin,  N.  Y.,  twelve  years 
ago  planted  apple  seeds,  from  which  he 
has  raised  an  orchard  of  7:3  trees.  He  was 
U'3  years  of  age  at  ihe  time  he  planted  the 
seed.  From  these  trees  he  last  fall  gath- 
ered one  hundred  bushels  of  fine  apples, 
and  his  orchard  has  been  bearing  for  the 
past  five  years.  This  fact  should  be  an 
example  to  all  young  farmers  to  do  like- 
wise. At  the  time  he  planted  his  orchard 
the  probabilities  were  that  he  -would  not 
live  long  enough  to  derive  any  benefit 
therefrom;  and  very  few  men  would  have 
done  its  he  did. 

Keep  tue  Calves  Turifty.— A  call 
kept  winter  and  summer  in  thrifty  growth, 
at  two  years  old  will  make  as  much,  more, 
beef  than  one  neglectfully  kept  at  twice 
that  age.  The  profit  will  all  be  found  on 
the  two-year-old,  and  the  loss  on  the  fwur- 
year-old  ;  yet  the  owner  of  the  latter  has 
pursued  liis  system,  if  Rvstem  it  can  be 
called,  with  the  idea  he  was  saving  money. 
Keep  the  thrifty  animal  two  years  longer 
in  the  same  w^ay,  and  sometliing  very 
handsome  in  the  way  of  beef  will  be  the 
result — while  the  starveling  can  never  iiay 
the  expense  of  its  rearing  and  feeding. —

Gapes  in  Chickens. — Wc  have  tried  the 
following  plan,  and  found  it  a  certain  cure 
for  gapes  in  chickens:  Take  a  medium- 
sized  broom  splint,  with  a  sharp  knife  make 
two  or  three  barbs  near  the  large  end. 
Open  the  mouth  ot  the  chicken,  having  its 
neck  drawn  straight,  and,  as  the  windpipe 
is  opened  for  breath,  put  in  the  instrument, 
and,  running  it  carefully  down  the  full 
length  of  the  w  iiidpipe,  turn  it  around  aud 
draw  it  uj<,  whea  one  or  more  small  red 
wornifc,  an  inch  in  length,  will  bo  caught  in 
the  barbs.  Wc  have  taken  out  four  worms 
at  one  in.scrtion.  Two  <jr  three  operations 
are  often  necessary,  but  if  faitfully  per- 
formed, the  remedy  is  sure.  As  a  prevent- 
ive, mix  a  small  (|Uantity  of  pepper  and  sul- 
phur in  their  li)od.  —  American  >ilock

Excessive  Manuring  of  Fruit  Trees. 
—  As  the  recent  animated  discussions  in 
regard  to  the  deterioration  of  fruit  trees 
have  led  to  tiic  pretty  general  conclusion 
that  among  other  caascs,  poverty  of  soil  is 
to  be  included,  there*  is  danger  that  the 
opposite  will  i)revail  with  some  cultivators. 
A  fruit  tree  may  be  surfeited  as  -well  as 
starved,  and  no  little  care  is  necessary  to 
guard  against  extremes  in  cither  directiim. 
It  generally  results  iu  excessive  and  un- 
natural growth,  which  is  always  secured 
at  the  expense  of  the  (piantity  and  quality 
of  fruit.  There  is  a  happy  medium  wlUch 
the  prudent  cultivator  will  adopt.  Dry 
soil  for  fair  quality,  well  worked,  and  mod- 
erately manured,  will  be  found  to  answer 
best.  For  smaller  fruits,  as  strawberries, 
raspberries,  blackberries,  <kc.,  a  rich  soil  is 
required. — Uammonton  CulturiU. 

liULES  Kou  Me.\surino  Fat  Cattle. 
Take  the  girth  immediately  behind  the 
shoulder,  aud  the  length  from  the  top  of 
the  shoulder  to  a  line  perpendicular  to  the 
buttocks.  Multiply  the  girth  by  itself,  and 
that  product  by  the  length,  adding  the 
decimal  .()7!Jo8 ;  divide  that  product  by 
57;J;  the  result  -will  be  the  wei;.';hlof  the 
four  (luarlers  in  imperial  stones.  You  can 
get  tables  which  will  give  you  the  result 
without  the  trouble  of  calculation,  ascer- 
taining the  girth  and  length  as  described. 
Care  must  be  taken  that  the  beast  stands 
straight  when  measured,  and  that  the  mea- 
surements are  correctly  taken,  as  the  difler- 
ence  of  an  inch  will  tcil  considerably 
on  the  result.  My  impression  is,  that  up- 
on a  calculation  which  would  be  quite  cor- 
rect for  farmer's  ordinary  fat  stock,  an  al- 
lowance must  be  made  for  extra  fat  ani- 
mals, and  the  same  deduction  when  the 
beasts  are  not  ([uitc  up  to  the  mark.  The 
proportion  to  be  added  is  usually  slated  at 
130th. 

Poin.TRY  that  have  had  the  range  of 
grain  fields  are  in  geod  condition  for  early 
fattening  for  market.  Confine  aud  feed 
them  liberally  and  allow  plenty  of  water 
with  ashes  or  dust  to  wallow  in.  Feed 
well  while  the  warm  weather  cimtiuues,  as 
they  will  fatten  much  faster  and  eat  less 
grain  than  when  it.  becomes  cold.  Pro- 
mote the  laying  of  hens  that  are  shut  up, 
by  feeding  with  scraps  of  refuse  meal. 
Fowls  eat  a  variety  of  food :  all  kinds  of 
grain  and  seeds,  and  preparations  made  for 
them ;  akio  most  sorts  of  vegetables,  raw 
or  cooked,  and  they  are  fond  of  a  certain 
quantity  of  animal  food  :  insects,  worms, 
grubs  and  maggots  they  search  for  witii 
avidity.  Potatoes  form  one  of  the  most 
economical  articles  of  food ;  but  it  is  essen- 
tial not  only  that  these  should  be  boiled 
or  steamed,  but  tliat  they  should  be  given 
warm,  as  hens  do  not  relish  "  col  1  taters." 
In  most  houses  there  arc  many  well  known 
scraps  and  refuse  that  will  serve  fowls, 
such  as  crumbs  of  bread,  fragments  of  pies 
and  puddings,  and  even  bits  of  moat  and 
fish. — American  Stock  Journal.

"NVhatover  may  be  said  by  tlieologians 
concerniug  the  orthodoxy  of  this  great  poet's 
religious  views,  his  Kssay  on  Man  will  con- 
tinue to  be  regarded  one  of  the  noaster 
pieces  of  English  verse,  and  vrill  attract  the 
attention  of,  and  iobtruct  the  intelligent  and 
tbonghtful. 

The  views  of  Pope   on  the  Groat  Creator 
and  His   wondrous   work.«,  as   cminciated  in 
this  poem,  are  unsurpassed  for  grandeur  and 
deep-toned    thoujrht  ;   and    no  wntcr,  either 
of  ancient  or    modern    times,  has  so  lutused 
h\n  sentiment  and  spirit  into  the  literature  of 
his  nation  by  a  sin^jle   pnvluction,  as  Alex- 
ander  Pope.     The   publisher   of    this    new 
edition,  appreciating  the  lack  of  an  illustra- 
ted Kassayon  Man,    and    willing    to  do  the 
public  a  'substantial   favor,  has    caused  the 
work  to  be  carefully    illustrated,    annotated 
from  the    Phrenological   point  of  view,  and 
printed    in   an    attnictive  style  on   superior 
papc-.     A    succinct  binjrraphy  of  the   poet. 
and  his  highlv  esteemed  ''Univerial  Prayer, 
are  published   with    the    "Essay,"  making. 
together,  a  very   desirable    volume    for  the 
library  or  centre-table.

ber. It  \i  an  illustrated  mafrazine  devoted 
t,>  the  culture  of  fruits,  flowers  and  vege-

tendance was  large  and  the  exercises  en-

Catti-e  Fair.— It   has    been   determined 
that  the  cattle  fair  at  M.akopee  will  be  kept 
up    during    the  whole  year— winters  as  well 
as  summers.     The    fair  will    be  held  on  the 
first  Monday  of  each  month  during  the  win- 
ter.    Farmeis    have  more  leisure  in  winter 
than  in  summer,   and   it  is    presumed    the 
winter  fairs  will   be   more  lar<:ely   attended 
than    the  summer  fairs.     Buyers  are  always 
on   hand  whenever  iheie  is  stock  for  sale.— 
We    see  i.o  reason   why    the  attendance   at 
the    winter    lulrs  may     not  be    larger   than 
during   the    summer.     The    next   fair  is  on 
Monday    next   and    let    there  be    a    gentral 
notice  given    that  the  iairs* ill   be  kept  up 
all  winter. 

Selling  at  Cost  for  Thirty  Days.— 
During  the  next  thirty  days.  I  will  sell  my 
entire  stock  of  Millinery  Coods,  Dress  Got  d.<, 
Dry  Goods,  Boots  &  Shoes,  Crockery  >nd 
Books,  AT  COST.  I  must  raise  money,

Tho   Democratic  State   Committse  in 
their  Stato  address  to  the  people,  says  : 
'*  The  record  for  the   year  as  far  as  it 
has  been  made  up,  shows  no  diversity 
nor   change  in  the   cons'.aui,   course  of 
public   sentiment.     In  Connecticut   the 
radical  party  was  beaten,  and  Democrat- 
ic  State  olEcers  elected.    In  Kentucky 
the  Democratic  majority  was  -10,000. — 
In   California,   which  gave  over  22,000 
Republican    majority  a    year   ago,   the 
Democratic  majority  this  year  is  8,000. 
Moutana,   Colorado   and    New   Mexico 
have    all   elected  Democratic  delegates 
to   Congress.    The  Radical  majority  of 
27,000   in    Maine  has   been  reduced  to 
10,000,     The  Radical   majority  in  Ohio 
of  -12,000  has    been    obliterated,    and  a 
Legislature  has  been   elected   that  will 
choose  a  Democratic  Senator  to  succeed 
Ben  Wade,  the  ablest,  boldest,  and  most 
dangerous    Radical    statesman    iu    the 
United    States    Senate.     Pcnnsjlvania, 
which    gave    17,000    Radical   majority 
last  year,  gives  a   Democratic    majority 
of  1,200  this  year.     The  Radical  majori- 
ty   in    Iowa    is  reduced    from  o5,000  to 
15,000.    The  majority  iu  Indiana  instead 
of  being    15,000   Republicin.  is    10,000 
Democratic.     There  was  a  gain  of  sev 
eral  thousand  even  in  Ver.uout.     These 
glorious  gains  amount  in  the  aggregate 
to  not  less  than    110,000    votes,  and  the 
prospect   for  the  future    bi-ightens  eaeii

^Mi  Sicilian  Haif  Renewci 

Hai*  stood  the  test  of  seven  years 
trial  bt/  the  public  ;  and  no  prepa- 
ration'for  the  hair  yet  discovrred 
will  produce  the  same  beneficial 
rcsnlts.  It  is  a  new  scientific  dis- 
cover y,  combiniHff  th^i  most  poiver- 
fuf  and  restorative  agents  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  It  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  Jt  mahcs  the  scalp 
white  and  clcAtn  ;  cares  dahdrnfr 
and  humors,  and  falling  out  of  th« 
haip;  and  will  make  it  growvpon 
bald  heads,  except  in  very  aged 
persons,  as  it  farninhes  lite  nutri- 
tive priiuiple  by  which  the  hair 
is  nourished  ami  supported.  It 
mahes  the  hair  moist,  soft,  and 
g/osKif.  and  is  unsurpassed  as  a 
HAIR  DRESSING.  Jt  is  the  cheapest 
preparation  ever  offered  to  tlie 
public,  as  one  bottle  will  accom- 
plish more  and  last  longer  than 
three  bottles  of  any  other  preparw 

tion.

The  wonderful  results  produced 
by  our  Sicilian  Hair  Ilenewer 
have  induced  many  to  manufac- 
ture preparations  for  the  Hair, 
under  various  names ;  and  in 
order  to  induce  the  trade  and  the 
public  to  purchase  their  rom- 
Itounds, they  have  resorted  to  false- 
hoo€ls,  by  claiming  they  tvere 
former  partners,  or  had  some  con- 
nection with  our  Mr.  Hall,  ana 
their  preparation  was  similar  to 
ours.  Do  not  be  decei ved  b y  them ! 
rurchase  the  original :  tt  has 
never  been  equalled.  Our  Treatise 
on  the  Hair,  with  certificate*,  sent 
free  by  nutil.  See  that  each  bottle 
lias  our  private  Ilevenue  Stamp 
over  the  top  of  the  bottle.  All  oth-
