Belies of Benedict Arnold.
Reminiscences of Benedict Arnold have
been going the rounds since the recent death
of Mrs. Ann Hinman Kellogg, of Fairfield,
whose mother, it is said, aimed a musket
at Arnold at the time of the burning of
New London, in 1781, and would have
killed him, except that the piece missed
fire. The proposition to build a monu
ment to Major Andre at Tarrytown has
also led to the recalling of incidents in
Arnold's career. There is one reminiscence
of that character which has not been men
tioned. Several years ago a gentleman of
Brooklyn, who has long been noted for his
love of rare books, manuscripts, pamphlets
and engravings, came into the possession of
c document sigued by Arnold and a friend,
which he has carefully treasured until the
present day. The paper is a written
that the man who should be manned first
should receive from the other the gift of a
silver tea-pot, of the value of £ I The
paper was dated before the Revolutionary
war, and was sigued by a gentleman by
the name c! Adams, as a witness. The
paper is now worn and stained with time,
but the writiug is as black and legible as
the day it was written. Not long ago a
man came into the oflice of the owner of
this precious document, and said, "1 un
derstand you are a gatherer of old things.
Here is something 1 want to show you. 8.
M. L. Barlow wants it and has offered to
pay so much for it, but you can have it if
you will give "n certain other sum," nam
ing it. "Well," was the reply, "let's see
it." The man began unfolding carefully
an ancient, time-stained document, upon
which, as he was opening it, there appeared
the strikiug signature of Benedict Arnold.
The signature was recognized tlie moment
it was seen, although it was upside down,
and the bargain was closet! without a
moment's delay. The paper turned out to
be a bet between Arnold and Adams. The
wituess of the document referred to above,
in reference to which of the two men would
probably be married first, and it ctntaiued
a pledge that the one who was first mar
ried should receive a gift of silver plate
worth i'l 5 faun the other. The paper was
witnessed by the man who made the first
bet with Arnold. The two documents bore
the same date, and had evidently been
written at the same time. They had been
separated for over a hundred years, and
had finally come together again in the
ownership of the same gentleman. The
discovery of this second document is con
sidered one of the best "finds" of tha day
among antiquarians of the city and the
fortunate owner of the two papers is greatly
envied
••Flirty CW Day."
Some time ago a poorly-dressed and
seedy-looking person about fifty years old
entered the posi-ofiee, at Detroit, and pro
ceeded to warm his hands at one of the
registers. He made no inquiries about mail,
and after he had been loafiug around for
two hours a policeman got his eye on him
and asked:
"Say, old man, have you any business
here ?"
"Well, no," was the reply.
"Any work to do?*'
".No. I kinder thought I'd lay off this
winter."
"Any friends here?"
"No."'
"I think you ara a vagrant,'' continued
the officer, as he took another look at him.
"Mebbe I am," sighed the old man.
"And I think I'll take you down.''
"Well, I'll go along."
The officer escorted him to the station
house, registered his name, and then pro
ceeded to search his pockets. Each one
panned out a "wad" of money, making a
total of f1,600.
"Why didn't you tell us you had this
money ?" demanded the policeman.
"Why didn't you ask me?"
"Didn'tl say I took you for a vagrant,
and you didn't deny it either."
"Well, I ditn't know an\thing about
your city laws," quietly replied the old
man. I've got two married daughters,
and I came in to buy each of 'em a S6OO
piano for New Year's, but is it's ag'in any
of your laws I'll take the next train for
home. I'm gitting purty old, and I don't
want no fuss with anybody."
"Well, you might have saved yourself all
this trouble." said the officer, as he escorted
him to the street.
"Don't mention it," was the answer. "If
I took any trouble on your account it's all
right, and you needn't thank me. I'm al
ways williug'to oblige anybody who can
appreciate it. Eurty cold day, isn't it ?*'
The Lfiecto of Tea.
First, as to the immediate cftects of mod
erate doses, there are in the cases observed
an elevation of pulse, increase of respira
tion, agreeable exhilaration of mind and
body, a feeling of contentment and placidity,
an increase of intellectual and physical vi
gor vrith no noticeable reaction. The im
mediate effects of an excessive dose are
rapid elevation of pulse, marked increase
of respiration to the extent of about one
third, increase of temperature, no period of
exhilaration, but immediate and severe
headache, dimness of vision, ringing in the
ears, dullness, and confusion of ideas. Fol
lowing that is a severe reaction : exhaua
of mind and body, tremulousness and ner
vousness, and dread of impending harm,
that Could not be relieved by taking more
tea. The effects of continued doses are a
continuance of the tremulousness. extreme
susceptibility to outside impressions, con
stipation, diminution of urine, ane marked
influence on the metamorphosis tissue, as
shown by the diminution in the amount of
urea, which, in the week during which the
writer was taking toxic doses of tea, fell
from 591 grains to 422 grains per day. The
sulphates, phosphates, and chlorides were
increased. From the study of the drugs'
action, the following conclusions are ar
rived at:—That, as with any other potent
drug, there is a proper and improper use_of
it. That in moderation it is a mild and
pleasant stimulant, followed by no harmful
reaction. Its continued and immoderate
use leads to a very .serious group of symp
toms, such as headache, vertigo, ringing in
the ears, tremulousness, nervousness, ex
haustion of mind and body, with disincli
nation to mental and physical exertion, in
creased and irregular action of the heart,
and dyspepsia. The mental symptoms are
not to be attributed to dyspepsia. It di
minishes the amount of urine, and retards
the metamorphosis of tissue. Many of the
symptoms of immoderate taa-drinking are
such as might occur without a suspicion of
the real cause.
A Medicine Should not be Guaged
By the suddenness and violence of its
Self-evident as this proposition would seem,
there are many foolish persons who are com
tent only with a remedy which acts abruptly.

upon the credulity of this class, find theii

ia the sale of violent purgatives. So long aa
t ;ey wrench the b >wel of their dupes suffi
ciently, they are pretty sure of a certain mea
sure of success. If instead of such p&raioioiia
rubbish, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used,
the results are widely different. The bowels
are relieved, but always geutly, by this pleas
ant laxative, which does not weaken but invig
orates them, and endows the co-operative or
gans of digestiou and bilious secretion with
activity and regularity, strengthens the con
st. tution and physique, and while it is safe in
lia constituents, is sufficiently prompt in ope
ration.
AGRICULTURE.
DAIRY T*ST.— The idea that every
thoroughbred animal belonging to a
butter breed is necessarily high up in
this qualification, is now happily ex
ploded. It is quite true that a Jersey
is more likely to yield rich milk than a
scrub, and purity of blood should be
insisted upon ; but this must be coupled
with actual performance at the pail.
If the rules of the Jersey Herd Book,
from the beginning, hail required proof
of the yield of 200 pounds oi butter in
a year, from a heiler two -and a half
years old, and of JfiO pounds from a
cow four years old, before record, one
might at present safely purchase a .Jer
sey cow, so descended, with the assu
rance of her quality, There is no mot e
reason why simple descent should be
satisfactory in a cow than in a trotting
horse; and the time has now arrived
when a cow oi inferior breeding, with
a large yield at the pail and in the
churn, will be preferred to any high
breeding without a record of perfor
mance, as a horse that trots in 2.20 with
out a pedigree outsells a horse of any
breeding without a record oi perform
ance in times past and present. Breeders
of thoroughbred cattle may take note
of this, and make the change as prompt
ly as possible, for the day of the pedi
gree craze is fast passing away.
RATS AND HARNESS.— It is stated on
good authority that a teaspoon!til of
cayenne pepper mixed in a quart of oil
aud rubbing toe harness with the oil,
will effectually protect it against the
gnawing ot rats. It is also said that an
ounce ot aloes to one gallon of oil will
afford the same protection. Our remedy
heretofore has been, ami we have never
known It to fail, to hang the harness up
so that no rats cannot uiolest it. But as
some people are careless in this respect,
the red pepper and the aloes and oil
remedy had better be ad ipted. A friend
at our elbow says carbolic aciu is a
sure remedy. •
STORIES first heard at a mother's knee
are never wholly forgotten.—Mothers
should never forget that the sufferings
of their little ones can easily bo over
come by the use of Dr. Bull's Baby Sy
rup.
PLANTING BLACE WALNUTS. The
best time for planting black walnuts is
immediately after the nuts have fallen.
Collect the nuts and mash the hulls,
(outer fleshy covering), and sow at
once in shallow furrows. They readi
ly germinate, provided the embryo
does not become too dry. Do not allow
the seedlings to remain more than two
years (one would be better} before
transplanting to a permanent place.
CELERY in trenches for the winter
must not be allowed to Ireeso hard,
though a moderate freezing does not in
jure it. The covering material, hay, or
leaves, should be at hand to put on when
needed. A slight covering will answer
until cold weather fairly sets in, but
the winter covering should be about a
foot thick.
The price of soap is rapidly advanc
ing. A year's supply ot DOBBLNS'
ELECTRIC bought now at old price
wiil be a very judicious purchase.
A PAIR of cards and a brush should
be in every cow stable, and cleanliness
should be carefully observed. A
thorough carding and brushing will not
only increase the quantity of the milk,
but will add to its purity. Aoung
calves should be freed I'ioni vermin by
applying a mixture of linseed oil and
kerosene to the parts infested.
TURNIPS are healthful for horsef.
They should be cut in slices, or, what
is better, pulped finely and mixed with
a little meal and sdmesalt. Rutabagas
1 are better than white turnips.
Thrown into a Snow-Bank.
Not long ago Mr. Smith, attached to the
Caribou Mine, near Denver, started from
Nederland for the mine in a stout cutter,
drawn by a strong and spirited team of
horses. Mr. Smith had for a companion
; one of his most efficient assistants, an Eng
-1 lishman of the name of Richard Crow. The
morning was boisterous, a heavy snow
storm having set in, accompanied by a
| fierce wind, but the two parties were well
acquainted with the road, and as the dis
tance was only four miles, they anticipated
no serious trouble. As they approached
Caribou, however, the storm increased in
violence to such an extent that they were
not only almost benumbed aud blinded, but
' the horses themselves evinced strong symp
-1 toms of giving out. The travelers finally
reached a point some half-mile distant from
| Caribou, about ten o'clock in the morniug.
Here, however, the elements seemed to
have thrown off all restraint, and the storm
was blinding in its fury. Mr. Crow was
driving, and while trying to make the team
turn in a certain angle the horses sprang off
the road, and in another instant the sleigh
and its occupants, horses and all, were
dashed into a snow bank some fifteen or
twenty feet below. Mr. Smith is an old
Coloradoan and has had an extended expe
rience in the mountains. He knew that if
anything was to be done, it must be done
quickly. At such an altitude and in such
a storm, with the thermometer many de
grees below zero, no life could be long sus
tained. By desperate exertions the sleigh
and horses were finally forced back upon
the road. Here the team was held while
Mr. Smith made three separate trips for the
lost baggage and wraps which were also
essential to a further existence. On reach
ing the sleigh, after his third trip, Mr.
Smith was so nearly exhausted that he fell
in upon the bottom and was scarcely able to
move. After other desperate efforts, and
when almost ready to yield to despair, the
main street of Caribou was reached and
assistance secured. It was nearly * full
hour before Mr. Crow was sufficiently re
vived to be able to speak, and Mr. Smith
also suffered greatly from the results of the
exertions he was compelled to make. But
neither party has experienced any perma
nent injury, and both feel that they have
special cause for thanksgiving over their
narrow and hazardous escape from a terri
ble death.

WASHING CLOTHES.— For a family of
six, cut into thiu shavlags one and one
half pounds of good bar soap, and dis
solve it in a pail of boiling water.
Rather more than half fill two tubs
with warm water, and add a pail of hot
suds —halt each. Put the clothes in
lor twenty-four hours' soak—those
most soiled in one tub by themselves.
The following morning nothing will be
necessary but to put them through the
wringer, through two waters, the blue

will observe if aay specially soiled
spots —wristbands, cull's and the like—
need a little chatiug with the fingers
before going througu the wringer.

FOR COOKS. —Mr. Delmonico, talking
about entrees, says that Americans
ought to copy the French method ot
utilizing small bits of raw meats and
fowls and of re-cooking all.kindsof cold
joints and pieces of cooked moat which
remain day by day from every dinner
in almost every family. The success of
such dishes depends mainly on the
sauce, which is best made from broth.
The following is his receipt for a favor
ite sauce: "Take an ounce of haui or
bacon, cut it up in small pieces, and
fry it in hot fat. Add an onion or car
rot, cut up, thicken with llou*-, then
add a pint or quart of broth, according
to quantity desired; season with pep
per and salt, or any spice or herb that
is relished (better, though, without the
spice), and let simmer for an hour,
skim carefully and strain. A wine
glass of any wine may he added if
liked." Cold roast or broiled beef or
mutton may be cut into small squares,
fried brown in butter, and then gently
stewed in the sauce above described.
SOUK MILK. —Sour milk is one ot the
best feeds lor poultry, especially for
young chickens, that can be given
them, and we fear its value is not fully
realized by those generally who keep
poultry in the country, a we arc satis
fled much refuse inilk goes to waste
that might be given the hens as well as
not. Young chicks thrive wonderfully
upon a diet of sour milk, and it may be
given them in place of water to great
advantage.
Baron Barthelemg maintains that snails
are capable of rendering valuable ser
vice in most chest complaints, bronchit
is, asthma, etc., because, In his words,
they contain "annualized sulpher, a
little phosphate of lime, and especially
carbonate, annualized, in solution and
in a nascent state in their mucilage."
His preparations of the article comprise
what are termed snail syrup, snail bon
bons, and helicine, as mucilage and
powder. For these the edible snail is
used, being collected iu the vineyards
in the south of France during tho fall,
and carefully preserved and led during
the winter. M. Barthelemy lays great
stress on this feeding, and attributes
the reason that these snails are not
more ge me rally used as an article of
diet to the fact that their flavor is only
properly developed where they obtain
suitable food, as, for instance, in the
vineyards of southern JP ranee and Ita

HEADACHE. —There are various
causes for headache, as derangement
of the circulating system, of the diges
tive organs, of the nervous system, &c.
VKGKTINK can be said to be a sure rem
edy for the many kinds of headache,
as it acts directly upon the various
causes of this complaint,— Nervousness,
Indigestion, Costiveness, Rheumatism,
N.-uralgia, Biliousness, fcc. Try the
YLGEHNK. YOU will never regret it.
A Peculiar case of spontaneous com
bustion, which OCCURRED some time ago
in St. Louis, suggests the need of great
er care in putting away certain kinds
of inflammable material. Some hemp
cloth, cut out of ordinary hemp sacks,
had been used in the house to polish
tloors newly varnished. After having
SERT6D this purpose tliev were thrown
hi a heap into aba ke', where tin y
smouldered and eventually burst into
ilame, of themselves. Their ignition
in this manlier is attributed to the sat
uration of the cloth with the varnish
to which they had been applied.
TUKRE is not the least doubt that the
terrible frequency of" late years ol Par
alysis, Insanity and the worst lorins of
organic diseases is mainly attributable
to the quantity and constituents of the
medicines of the day. Take Simmons
Liver Regulator, a purely vegetable
medicine, containing all the virtues of
Calomel without any of the injurious
tendencies so justly dreaded by man
kind. It will be found prompt to start
the secretions of the Liver, and give a
h< althv tone to the entire system, with
out salivation or any danger. When
used as a Cathartic it in no wise dis
orders the system, nor docs it produce
any nausea or sick stomach when about
to purge. It is so mild in its action as
not to interfere with business or pleas
ure. Beware of imitations gotten up
on the popularity of Simmons Liver
Regulator.
Caaefully prepared statistics show
that sil, Ol ••0,000 worth of quinine are
annually consumed in this country. In
this connection it ruav be mentioned
that of opium but $1,000.000 worth is
believed to be used in the United States
each year a statement we think under
estimated.
Until recently water in the ocean was
believed to have little if any motion be
low fifty fathoms, but it is aow known
that in certain localities there is rapi 1
motion as deep as SCO fathoms, and se
rums injuryrious has bean c itissd at that
depth to lite telegraphic ca >les.
