Bill Arp, editor of the Rome Com
mercial, has been swimming around the
council chambers e-v-e-r-y night during
me inunaauon or his city, and here's
what comes of his being out. It will ap
ply to other places as well as Rome :
" E-v-e-r-y night 1 Here it Is half-past

robber was to come nnd carry me off you
woulJn't care a What Is it you say?
City council business must be attended to?
How do I know you go to the city coun
cil ? Does the city council meet e-v-e-r-y
night? They don't meet but once a week
in jNew 1 ork. Hut 1 suppose K-o-m is
a more important place. Oh, yes, out
every night. Twelve o'clock one o'clock
two o'clock. Here I stay with the chil

waning ior you. uouuiii t come nome
any sooner I Of course you couldn't if
you didn't want to. But I know some
thing you think I don't, but I do. That I
do. 1 wish I didn't. Where were you
Monday night? Tell me that. The mar
shal told mc that the city council didn't
meet that night. Now what have you got
to say ? Couldn't get a quorum 1 Well,
if you couldn't, why didn't you come
home? Out e-v-c-r-v night hunting for
a quorum. But you wouldn't hunt
for me this late If I was missing. Whrre
wcro you Thursday nieht and Friday
night? There was a show in town, wasn't
there ? What did you buy that bottle of
hair oil for and hide It? Oil for your
hone, indeed I Who ever heard of hair
oil for a whetstone! So you think I
didn't see you in the other room brush
ing and greasing your hair and looking
in the glass at your pretty self? A man
ought to be'decent. He ought, ought he!
Yes, indeed, a. man ought to, and a de
cent man will stay at home with his
wife sometimes and not be out c-v-e-r-y
night. How comes it that the city
council didn't meet but twice a month last
year? Trying to work it out of debt. Yes,
that's probable very laughing and jok
ing, and smoking and swapping lies will
work a debt off, won't it? Now I wan't
to know how much longer you

business? Yes, I want to know. Out
e-v-e-r-y night. City council, Freemasons,

say ? It helps your business to keep up
your social relation ? Ah, indeed ! You've
got relations here at home, sir. They need
keeping up some I should think. "What
did you say about catching it the other
night at a whist party ? Fellows, Its 11
o'clock, but let's play a while longer we
won't cateli it any worse when we get
home. A pretty speech for a d-e-c-e-n-t
man to make. Catch it ! Catch it ! Well,
I intend you shall catch it a little. What's
that you say? If I wouldn't fret you so
you would stay at home more ! Well, sir,
do you stay at home first a few nights and
try'it. Perhaps the fretting would stop.
Out e-v-e-r-y night because I fret you so.
What" that sir? You know ladies who
ain't always a scolding their husbaands !
You do. do you? How come you to know
them? What business have you to know
them? What right have you to know
whether other women fret or not? That's
always the way. You men think all other
women are saiiits but your wives, oh, yes
saints s-a-i-n-t-s. I'll have you to
know, sir, that there isn't a woman iu
this town that s moreol a saint than 1 am.
I know them all sir a h-e-a-p better than
you do. Yon only see the sugar and
honey side of them, and they only see
the scarar side of you. Now, sir, I
just want you to know that if you can't
stay at home more tnan you ao, I'll leave
these children here to get burnt up and
I'll go out e-v-c-r-y night. When a poor

Hints About Houses.
Many houses, from the mansion to the
cottage, are unwholesome for some of the
ionowrug reasons :
1. Damp basements.
2. Cesspools and foul drains within
the basement.
3. Rotten timber in floors and skirtings
and tainted wall-papers.
-J. Kitchen sinks in improper places
and unventilated.
5. Water-closets in improper places
and unventilated. ,
G. Rooms without adequate means for
ventilation.
7. Water-cisterns and pumps in im
proper places, and so the water is con
taminated. Houses are also unwholesome from per
sonal dirt, personal carelessness, and per
sonal neglect, as wnen :
1. Rooms are not sufficiently cleaned
2. Carpets are left down too long and
never swept.
3. Windows arc seldom opened from
tne top.
4. Closets are dirty, neglected, and
without ventilation.
5. Dirty beds are unmade and are also
shrouded 111 dirty haniriiiL's.
G. Dirty wardrobes and dirty clothes-
ciosets.
7. Nooks, corners, and shelves which
are never dusted.
Persons who are about to build dwel
ling-houses should have the following
suggestions in mind :
'Die subsoil beneath a house should be
naturally dry, or it should be made dry
oy lanu-drainmg.
The ground-lloor tt a house should not
be below the level of the land, street, or
road outside.
A Fite excavated on the side of a hill or
steep bank is liable to be dangerous. As
cAiuumi vejiiLiiaiiuii wiiy uuuuuve, null
the subsoil water from above may soak to
ward anu ucneatn sucn nouses, middens,
ashpits, cesspools at the back must taint
such basements.
The subsoil within every bacement
should have a layer of concrete over It.
Cesspools, cesspits, sink-holes or drains
should not be formed within house base
ments.
The ground around dwelling-houses
should be paved, flagged, asphalted, cov
ered with concrete, or bo prepared and
graveled.
Outside channels should be in good
order anu De regularly cleansed.
House-eaves should be guttered and
spouted.
Mrs. Partington.
"A good cup of Oblong tea will not
hurt anybody." said Mrs. Partinarton, as
she presided over the mahogany, with a
pleasant smile upon her face and the tea
urn by her side. " I know some say it is
dilatorious to the nervous cistern, and
subscribe cold water ; but I need the fla
grant nerD, ana two cups just equalizes
my temperature. Some say, too, that it
shortens life, and where the Widow Shoot
died, at one hundred and ten, it was re
marked that 11 she hadn't drank tea she
would have lived to be an old woman.
I'm sure she survived her factories won
derfully, and the tea I know did it."
" But we are exposed to the pekoedil
loes of the . Chinese," said Dr. Bpooner,
" and do not often sret our teas Dure."
" Well. I alwavs hODe for the best." re
plied Mrs. r., sipping her cup, without
remarking the doctor's pun. "Some
times it is not so good as others, and then
again it is, but the price is very equable,
and I have to give just as much for half a
dollar's worth as I did before the duties
were taken off, which was made such a
fuss about in the papers. 1 hope your
tea suits you."
" Hallo 1" said Ike, starting up and
banging his chair upon the floor, at the
same time pulling the doctor's cup from
the table Into his lap. The boy darted
through the back door, while the truest
danced around with pain.
Airs. Partington was conrusea.
" It suits me well, madame," said the
doctor. " Terhaps a trifle too hot,
though," again seating himself.
Ike returned and explained his conduct.
He had seen, through the window, a big
dog after his cat, and he had rushed to

Convalescence
Convalescence is a delightful border
land between death and life, a Beulah in
which you love to linger, whose grapes
go down sweetly. It Is a condition in
wnicn a periect consciousness ot existence
is combined with an absolute negation of
duties. You know that you are a nuisance,
a cumberer of the ground,
' Whom none can love, whom none enn thank,
Creation's blot, creation's blank,"
and you do not care. The furnace Arcs
may go out, the wine-cellar run dry, the
tank overflow, the barrel of meal waste,
and the cruse of oil fail; but you aro cer
tain that vour thermometer will be cared
for, that your sherry-glass will never be
empty, and you lie in a fine though feeble
disdain for nil these carklnir cares.. Pco-
pie cannot find things: let them hunt.
The dray men are swearing outside, but it
is no ousiness 01 yours to snow tnem now
to get the coal Into the cellar. The world
Is going on, and you have no responsibil
ity whatever about its goings on. This
is the true joy of convalescence. This Is
the way to make illness a means of grace
If you go caring for other people, you
might as well be well, nut to lie in tran-
auil and luxurious inertia, absolutely
eveid of energy, without purpose,
without conscience, without thought,
wholly 86111811, and unprlcked in
your selfishness it Is no mean paradise.
Life is so full that it is an exquis
ite satisfaction lor . once, ana lor a
time, to find it emptv. The hours and
the days lapse languidly, and vou have
had a fortnight of bliss in the process and
Diann in tne memory, anu Dy mas time,
ten to one, your soul is astir again but the
pause was delicious.
Hungry, did you say? There are terri
ble traditions of fevcr-parched lips which
Ignorance forbade to moisten, and lever
wasted frames which food might not up
build. Who has not his story to tell of

but with impunity, a whole mince-pie be

and prophesy smooth tilings. Water?
Yes, indeed, as much as you like. Milk?
The more the better. Eat whatever you
wish, and whenever you choose, and as
long as vou can. The Old School stand
around astonished: but, strong in the
law, you eat steadfastly on with mild
convalescent defiance, and climb steadily
back to strength. Against such proof
there is no law. And the neighbors send
in their best canned strawberries and ap
ple jellies and currant wine, and you swal
low them down with only moderate grat
itude, not to say placid indifference. So
far from bein in a hurry to go back into
the world again, you want nothing but to
be let alone. The turmoil, the eagerness,
the busv-ness seem to vou so aimless. A
and B and C go by every day to meet the
morning trains. What folly I as if it made
any difference whether they met tho train
or not. But your exclamation-point is a
very small one. You are not to be dis.
turbed by deep emotions of any sort.
The din of the outside world comes soft
ly to your ears. Since the din is not un
musical, very well; but the world might
as wisely be silent. Why should you get
up? It is easier to stay in bed. But who
wants to be strong? It is just as comfort
able to be weak. Gail Hamilton in Har
per1 Bazar.
Alarming the Oriental Heathen.
When preparations for taking the cen
8us in Bengal were lately made, the native
inhabitants became alarmed, having got
the absurd idea that every tenth man was
wanted to fight the Russians, so sensitive
is the instinct of these Oriental heathen
under British rule, scentiner the approach
of danger to England In every gale from
Turkestan, and straining their sight for a
ray ot hope lor the millions ot the dis
aftected among themselves. It is calcu
lated that nearly one million able-bodied
Bengalese stole away to avoid being count
ed in. The return, not including the ab
sentees, of course, showed a population of
GU,000,000 ; that is, the single province of
uengai nas a population just as large as
that of Russia-111-Europe. How long,
with a small military force, England can
retain Bengal, which has this vast popu
lation, in an area of 24G,82!) square miles
(that of Russia-in-Europe is 8G,0:)9), can
only be a question of time. The Hindoos
await another revolt, such as there was in
1837, but will probably profit by their
blunders and weakness then. A simulta
neous rising throughout British India
might secure national independence in a
week, but then the question would arise,
What will they do with it? Forney's

The Natural Bridge.
It is feared that the Natural Bridge in
Virginia will be destroyed. A gentleman
passing over it recently was startled by
the appearance of volumes of deep black
smoke and jets of flame rolling out from
beneath its niassrVe arch. There was a
strong smell of sulphur, and the ground
was warm and steaming for some distance
around. The people in the neighborhood
were greatly alarmed, believing that a
volcanic eruption was about to take place;
but Prof. Campbell of Lee University, on
being apprised of the facts, soon supplied
a more satisfactory explanation of the
phenomenon. The bridge, it seems, is
composed of mountain limestone contain
ing large fissures filled with grahamite, a
kind of bituminous coal or asphaltum. At
some distance above high-water mark are
sulphurous deposits and metallic oxides
in minute quantities. The action of sul
phur on metallic oxides in the presence of
water will generate heat to a degree suffi
cient to Ignite a mass as combustible as
grahamite. Uhe thawing of the snow in
Cedar creek supplied the water necessary
for such action as has been described, and
so the combustion is fully accounted for.
The Natural Bridge is one of the most
celebrated natural curiosities in this
country, and it is to be hoped that the in
jury done it by this singular chemical pro
cess will not prove so serious as to result
in its complete destruction. N. Y. Sun.
- Bock Salt.
The Lumberman' '1 Gazette, of last month,
has an account of important discoveries
made in boring for rock salt, at White
Rock, on the Lake Huron shore, and
Cassville, in Huron County, Michigan.
If. Biwmi fliaf tVi.i ocarana Aofrtnuur hrina
shows about 171 parts salt and 3-7115 parts
cnionaes 01 calcium ana magnesium, in
the well at White Rock there are nineteen
parts salt and 9-479 of a part of the above
Impurities. It is thought, from the ex
periments at various places, that the rock
salt bed Will be found in the Saginaw Val
ley at no very considerable depth below
the brine-bearing rock, and that wells lo
cated mere will be 10 una as valuable as
that at White Rock.- The product of the
weu at me latter piace is saia to be so
pure that it is almost impossible to con
ceive of anything better. The average
Saginaw brine iequires the evaporation
of about 162 gallons for the production
of a barrel of salt, while the White Rock
brine requires but 140 gallons a showlnc
of one-tenth Increase in favor of the White
Kock well. An effort Is now being made
to prosecute experiments, in th lionn of
sinking me rocK salt Dea in the neigh
borhood of East Saginaw, and it is be
lieved they will prove successful.

Mr. Greeley's Clothes.
Mr. Onittm throughout his life was
twitted with his slovenliness of person,
and many people were made to believe
mat ne inourred the risa u. ucihk ouiu iui
a bag of ancient rags whenever he passed
into Ann Street. The fit and quality of
his clothes were not what Grammont or
D'Orsay would have recommended 1 but
he was always scrupulously neat Beet
hoven hlmseif having no greater paBsion
for the bath. His linen was ever immacu
late; his boots, though often coarse, well
blacked ; his face carefully shaven, and his
hands as daintily kept as those of a fine
woman. His cravat had a tendency, It is
true, to assume the shape of a hangman's
knot, and his trowsers were often sugges-
tive of required continuance : but that he
was really slovenly was palpably false.
The idle tales that he disarranged his
toilet before the looking-glass, and care
fully squeezed his pantaloons into the leg
of Ills boot ere he appeared in the street,
were purposely told to annoy him, and
strange to say they had theellect Intended,
Ho wan npnaltlvn on the SUbicct Of Ills
dress, and seldom received advice there
upon with becoming equanimity. Oddly
enough, he believed himself a very well-attired
"person. nd that few men in his
station went better clad. Sartorial com
ments were wont to draw from him sharp
and stinginar rerilies.
vv nen a city editor 01 tne urtoune once
suggested the reformation of his neck-tic,
Mr. Greeley answered, "You don't like
mv dress, and I don't like your depart
ment. If you have any improvements to
rnnkc. nleas hecrin at home.
James Watson Webb, while editor of
the Courier and Enquirer, was fond of crit
icising the costume "of his neighbor,
who, referring to the fact that Mr. Webb
had been sentenced to the State-prison,
and pardoned, for fighting a duel with
Thomas F. Marshall, made this extin
guishing rejoinder: "Assuredly no cos
tume in wnicn the editor 01 tne a naune
has ever appeared would create such a
sensation in Broadway as that James Wat
son Webb would have worn but for the
clemency of Governor Seward."
10 another lournaitst, noted ior 11 is un
tidiness, and his ridicule of Mr. Greeley,
the latter responded, "If our friend of the
, who wears mourning for his depart
ed veracity under his linger-nails, will
agree to surprise his system witli a bath,
wo may attempt a clean discussion witn
him."
The Illustrious editor was simply care
less of his attire, though fastidiously neat.
He was always so busy that, when he rose
in the morning, he put on the first tiling
he found, and sometimes he did not put it
more than halt on. nis ciotnes never
seemed to fit him, or, rather, lie never
seemed to fit his clothes. Tho wonder
with many of his acquaintance was where
he bought them, or whether they did not
grow, so unique often were their cut and
pattern. Clothes, I repeat, were a tender
theme with him ; and he displayed the
highest breeding by never alluding to
what he wore. It Is supposed ho got his
garments ready-made (I have been told
his wife was in the habit of purchasing
them), and, to save time, he took the first
articles oiiered. lie was tne oniy ew
1 orker ot note who repeatedly appeared
in the street in the morning in a dress-coat.
But he made ample atonement for this by
presenting himseit up town at iormai diiv
ners in a paletot, or some peculiar gar
ment that defied identification. Whatever
may be thought of Mr. Greeley's quaint
raiment, he was excellently dressed ac
cording to tho lirummel canon, because
after being with and listening to him one
could not remember what he had on. He
could talk away his clothes in the briefest
space. Harper s Magazine for April.

Pieiire Blot, in an article in Harper's
Bazar, says ; " Let eur readers under
stand that it is f. mistake to think that to
give a dinner to friends, to relatives, or
even a dinner of ceremony, it is necessa
ry, nay, indispensable, to have just such
dishes and such wines, because other peo
ple have them served 011 their tables. It
is much better and much more pleasing
to tne guests to he original we mean, to
make one's own bill of fare, and not imi
tate other people's dinners. We once
heard a frequent diner-out exclaim

the chronic fillet of beef, tho innumerable
roasts, accompanied by the matter-ol-course
ice-cream to chill the stomach,
instead of something to help digestion.
We are of the same opinion. Ice-cream
is good, but not as a dessert. An hour, at
least, should be allowed the stomach after
dinner before taxing it with the hard
work of digesting so chilly a dish.
The dinner is the principal meal of the
day, and the one that restores the waste
of the system most, being generally taken
after the day's tasks are done, and being
composed of more nutritious and more
numerous dishes than the other meals. As
the mind and stomach cannot work well
at once, it is certainly according to hygi
enic laws not to eat much or heavy food
at breakfast and lunch. It is different at
dinner; besides having no work to per
form after it, the enjoyment of having the
whole family assembled Is one of the best
perquisites that can accompany the meal.
Wives and mothers, have flowers on the
dinner table! have attractive-looking
dishes! have palatable food! have "cheer

San Francisco. The California wine is
largely consumed in the Atlantic cities,
and quantities are exported to Great Brit

foreign countries. The wine is improv

the interest is only a tithe of what it may

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.
Cold Made Soap. Have lye strong
enough to bear up an egg. Then stir In
any soap grease until the lye is pretty
well filled, and In a week or ten days the
soap will be fit for use. In the meantime
stir occasionally.
To Curb a Felon. As soon as It
makes Its appearance aPDlv a poultice, of
equal parts of saltpeter and orimstone,
mixea wiui buuiciciiii huu iaj umno
paste, and renew as soon as it gets dry.
A lew applications win enect a cure. -

A CORRESPONDENT ot the Scientific
American commends onions as a specific
against epidemics not as an esculent, but
si ced and kent in a sick-room, where they
will absorb any atmospheric poison. They
should be replaced by fresh ones every
hour. It is noticed that in the room of a
small-pox patient thev will blister and de
compose very rapidly, but will prevent
the spread of the disease. Their applica
tion has also proved effective in the case of
snake bites.
An Ink that Willot Freeze. Take
about one handful of maple bark the in
side bark. Scrape or shave off the outside
bark. Put It In three pints of water and
boil till the strength is all out of the bark,
then strain all tho Dark out 01 the ooze.
Next put in the ooze half a tablcspoonful
of copperas, and boil five or ten minutes
till the copperas is all dissolved. Keep
stirring. This will make near one gill
of good ink that will not be injured by
freezing.
To M are Olp Black Silk Look Like
New. Unpiok the garment and wash tho
pieces in hot soapsuds : rinse bv dipping
up and down in hot water, then dip in se-
cond water preparea as loiiows : ison two
ounces of logwood chips in five quarts of
water ; aud a quarter 01 an ounce 01 cop
peras ; strain through an old bit of calico,
and dip yoHr silk into this dye. Let the
siik be pinned on to a line Dy me corners,
and hang until it is nearly dry. Then
take it down and iron It between tivo
pieces of old black silk. It will look like
new.
Melon Wine. How true it Is that It
takes everybody to know everything !
Pumpkins and a variety of delicious wa
termelons grow spontaneously in Arabia.
Perhaps they develop more richly there
than in Persia, wliero they are extremely
good. In tho great plenty, immensely
beyond the demands of consumers where
they most abound, tho prudent lookers
ahead cut a holo through the rind, while
on the vine, down into the pulp. It is
then closed tightly with wax. Under a
genial sun the cone soon begins to melt
away till it all disappears, leaving the
shell nearly full of a delicious fluid which
is called melon wine. Like the drink ol
the gods, it is not to be compared with
any other beverage on earth, say the con
sumers. A hint here lor an experiment
the coming season.
Roasted Coffee. Roasted coffee 13
one of the most powerful means, not
only of rendering animal and vegetable
eilluvla innocuous, but of actually de
stroying them. A room in which meat
in an advanced degree of decomposition
had been kept for some time, was in
stantly deprived of all smell by an open
coffee roaster being carried through it
containing a pound of coffee newly
roasted. In another room tlie effluvia
occasioned by the cleaning out o a cess
pool, so that sulphureted hydrogen and
ammonia could be clearly detected, was
completely removed within half a minute
on the employment of three ounces ot
fresh coffee. The best mode of using it
as a disinfectant is to dry the raw bean,
pound It in a mortar, and then roast the
powder on a moderately heated iron plate,
until it assumes a dark brown hue, when
it is ready for use. It must, however, be
remembered that the coffee, to be effect
ual, should be perfectly pure. Adulter
ated rubbish will only make matters
wors.
Pain Killer. In another column will be
found the advertisement of Davis' Puin Kil
ler. There is probably no other preparation
manufactured that has become so much of a
household word as the Pain Killer. For
thirty yeurs it has stood before the public,
and the innumerable testimonials that have
been called forth voluntarily, testify fullv to
its merits. When you ;necd a family medi

"To each his snflerings; are all men
Condemned alike to groan ;
The tender for another's pain
The unfeeling for his own. ' '
There can be no doubt but the greater por
tion of the pain which the human body has
to undergo Is caused by some derangement
of the great organs, the Liver, Blood, Kid
neys and Bowels. Spring is upon us, when
change of atmosphere and habit are apt to
11 lie c t these orguns; and the best way to
avert attacks of disease of this character is
to use Mairuire's Cunduramro Hitters, the
great Liver invigoritor and Dlood purifier,
which releases the bile and purges it from
the system, thereby promoting perfect
ncauii.

For relieving Coughs, Colds, and Throat Dis
eases, the T roches have been proved reliable.
A FEW years njro there was no other wav
known to obtain tho virtues of the leaves o'f
various plants but by maceration iu water,
to make, as it is called, an infiiMon, or by
uMiif; uicuuui, uuu iiius making a tincture.
In either caso one had to drink an imletiiiitR
amount of liquid to obtain a very small quan
tity of the medicinal effects of tho plants.
How altered is this, however. The process
of extracting all the valuable properties with
none of the inert or injurious particles, from
leaves, roots, barks, etc., has been brought
to such perfection, that every ounce of ex
tract is fully equal to an ounce of the raw
material. In no preparation that we know
of is tliis high concentration so admirably
accomplished as in Farkkk's Compound

therefore all the liner and volatile principles
are fully preserved, the whole prepared in
