How TO Lzyarnx SHORT SKOrrs.—•
Modistes hnveaiMwd a plan f6r length
ening the short skirts of street dresses,
so that they may trail on the floor when
worn in the boose. Make the six-gored
skirt of ordinary walking length—that
is, jnst escaping the ground ; cut the
placket hole in th middle of the back ;
sew the three front breadths with slight
gathers to the belt, and ftnish the belt
with books and eyes, hating the three
back widths hanging; then face the up
per part of the back widths, and put in
a drawing-string. When the skirt is to
be worn in the streets, draw the back
breadths up to the belt; when it is re-
3 aired to train slightly in the house, let
le fullness droop low*oner the touruure,
and the over-skirt or polonaise will con
ceal the loose hanging breadths.
RKMOVTVO THE SMELL OE PETBOLXTM.
Professor Stolba publishes what he con
aiders the best method of oompletely re
moving from glass or other the
smell of any f e'roleum which may have
previously contained iu them. This
limply consists in introducing a suitable
quantity of milk of lime and shaking it
around thoroughly, and, after allowing
it to stand for s time, repeating the op
eration in a few minutga. At the same
time the externa] surface of the vessel is
to be washed with a rag dipped in the
same substance. Petroleum forms an
emulsion with the milk of lime, and can
thus be readily removed. If particles of
thickened petroleum adhere to the glass,
these can oe removed by washing with
fine sand, or by other mechanical means.
After emptying oat the emulsion pro
duced. it is only necessary to rinse with
water, after which as much chloride of
lime as will go on the point of a knife is
to be introduced and shaken with water,
and then allowed to stand about an hour,
the exterior kx ing rinsed off in a similar
manner. If the liquids referred to are
used hot, this operation will be material
ly facilitated.
Buffalo Range.
The favorite range of the buffalo, says
Gen. Custer, is contained in a belt of
country running north and south, about
two hundred miles wide, and extending
from the Platte riveriOn-wio north to the
valley of the Upper' Canadian on the
south. In migrating, if not grazing or
alarmed, the buffalo invariably moves in
single file, the column generally being
headed by a patriarch of the herd, who
is not only familiar with the topography
of the country, but whose prowess •' in
the field " entitles him to become the
leader of his herd. He maintains this
leadership only 00 long as his strength
and courage enable him to remain the
successful champion in the innumerable
contests which he is culled upon to main
tain. The buffalo trails ore always ob
jects of interest and inquiry to the sight
seer on the Plains. These trails made
by the herds in their migrating move
ments are so regular (n their construction
and course as to well excite curiosity.
They vary but little from eight to ten
inches in width, and are usually from
two to four inches in depth; their
course is almost as unvarying as that of
the needle, running north and south.
Of the thousands oi buffalo trails which
I have seen, I recollect none of which
the general direction was not north and
south. This may seem somewhat sur
prising at first thought, but it admits of
a simple and satisfactory explanation.

D.'et and Exercise.
Dr. Pnrkcs, while investigating the
' effect of diet and exercise on theelimin
' ation of nitrogen, had for his subject n
very healthy, powerful, and temperate
you ng soldier. He conducted one series
of experiments in whieh the man was fed
on ordinary diet, and the amount of
nitiogen content was kept as near an
possible constant. In a recond series
prepared foot! was given so on to keep
the amount of nitrogen introduced per
fectly constant; and a third series was
: made with non-nitrogenous food. These
I experiments showed distinctly an in
! creased elimination of nitrogen in the
! period of rest after severe exercise, con
firming Dr. Parke's former results, and
supporting the statement of Liebig on
this point, in opposition to that of Yoit.
Whether it was diminished during exer
cise or not was not clearly shown by the
experiments. The non-nitrogenous diet
for five days neither raised nor lowered
the temperature in the rectum of the pa
tientf but rpparently did not effect the
health, nor did it alter the frequency of
the pulse ; hut the heart's action became
weak, and the pulse soft. The experi
ments proved that force necessary for
great muscular work can be obtained by
the muscle from fat and starch, though
changes in the nitrogenous constituents
of the muscles also go on, which have, as
one effect, an increased elimination of
nitrogen alter the cessation of the work.

Chrlftmui In tho Danish Manila.
We found, writ©* a correspondent, that
Uio Christmas holidays were celebrated
iu both ialnuda in a rntlmr peculiar mis
nor by tho colored people, and for tho
entire previous year from tlieir m<*t
cherished anticipation, na then for more
than a week they are completely exempt
I from labor, and devote tnedaya with un
paralleled ardor to the pleitaurc of dauc
hig. They commenced at two o'clock on
Christinas morning, while the stars wort*
in tho sky, to parade the strvatain pangs
numbering from twenty to a hundred,
males ami females, preceded by a drum,
which is sometime* accompanied by an
seoordinn and triangle, Ui tbesounuaof
which they march or done* along, sing
ing in chorus a shrill and monotonous
refrain. When the* think they have
thus sufficiently exhibited themselves to
admiring spectators, they udjourn to
some house which the* have hired, or
[i irt of a house which lias been loaned
or the purpose, and there trip the fan
tastic aud generally bare toe with an un
tiring energy, only equaled by the sur
prising length of time they are able to
| continue the exercise. They frequently
march or ilance for days together with
wiuvoly auy cessation, and instances

Where Heaven I*.
M. Figuier, the French sown!, has
written a new work entitled " The To
morrow of Death, " in which he ts good
enough to defiue the locality of Heaven,
for the benefit of less enlightened mor
tals. He explaius that the fluid which
astronomers and naturalists call ether,
begins at an elevation of 30 to 40 leagues
(120 to 160 kilometers), above the earlh,
where the atmosphere terminates. It is
a real fluid, a gas analogous to the air
which surrounds us, but infinitely more ,
ratified and thinner. It is distributed
not oulv about the earth, but about the ,
other planets. More than this, it is in
all space; it fills the intervals which sep
arate the planet.". In fset, the planets,
which, with their satellites, compose our
solar world, move in ether. The comeU
also, in their immense journey through
space, circulate in ether. The chemical
composition of planetary ether is un
known. Astronomical phenomena have
taught us that there is such a fluid, but
nothing is known of its components.
We may conclude, however, that ether
can contain no oxygen, anil we should
not wonder if planetary ether were com
posed of hydrogen gas excessively rare
fied ; that is,of a gas extremely light of its
own nature, and infiuitely subtilized by !
the absence of all pressure ; and of this
fluid above our atmosphere, M. Figuier
ssvs:—
"It is beavfrn. There then, iu the
place commonly termed heaven, we fix
the residence of supcr-hatunu lieings.
In this matter we concur with the pop
ular belief and prejudices, and we gladly
e-tablish this agreement. These preju
dioes, these misgivings, in many cases
ojatomize the wisdom and observations
of on infinite number of human genera
tions. A tradition which uniformly pre
vails in all countries has the w eight of a
scientific demonstration. Language and
tradition agreeing, the most wide-spread
modern religions—Christianity, Buddh
ism, and Mohammedani-m— .assigns to
heaven the home of God's chosen peo
ple. "
" And so, ** adds M. Figuier, " science,
tradi ion, and religions join hands in this
matter; and the holy priet who, attend
ing the reval in rtvron the revolution
ary scaffold cried, 'Sou of the holy St.
Louis, ascend to Heaven,' uttered a ver
itable scientific truth-"
Xakiu? Shoes.
In Massachusetts, Maine, New Hamp
shire, and Vermont, where the Storm
King rains, snows, tliaws, or freezes a
considerable portion of the year, tlus in
habitants naturally keep a vigilant look
out for their toes against forever-advanc
ing Jack Frost, who is no respecter of
persons. The inventive faculty of
many active brains naturally runs npou
shoes, and consequently they are fre
quently bringing out new devices for
keeping feet dry und warm, and patting
leather into forms that neither rip, leak,
not wear out till the purchaser is out of
sight
Sewing by hand is an exploded idea in
a town in which thirty thousand boots
are manufactured in a single week. Of
course those are designed for distant
markets. Pegging has had it* day, l>e
eanse they shrink in dry weather and
drop out, leaving holes for wandering
water to rnn in. Rut a desideratum has
leen achieved which nuts all former de
vices for keeping soles and upper-leath
ers in contact. Neither waxed thread,
wooden pins, iron nails, nor copper brads
are employed. That is not all that is
curious about the matter. A machine,
small, compact, and strong, works auto
matically, us though it had an eyo to
business.
Instead of any former kind of fast
ener. the whole is doweled together with
leather dowelj. Sole-leather is rolled
between huge cylinders till it is as com
pact as wood. Strips are then tucked
into a hopper. From thence it is paid
out, by either a crank or steam, cut into
the shape of pegs, and at the same
instant driven through nil opposition,
thus clinching every thing throngh which
it jiasse*. The sole of the shoe is per
fectly flexible, the leather pins swell and
hold on like a detective to a pickpocket
That is aU, and the work, theoretically,
will last forever.
A Trivial Cause fsr War.
There is on old saying which run* in
thin wise:—" Behold what o great tiro o
little spark kindlelh." The " misnnder
stonding" between Prnnsia and Brazil \
■ccma to have been on illuatration of thia j
fact. A tavern brawl acorns to be a tri-;
vial thing to cause trouble, if not war, ■
between two great notions, and auch is!
said to have been at the bottom of the 1
matter. It appears that seven or eight'
Prussian officers, tieiug in a coffee-house '
at Rio de Janeiro, got intoxicated and 1
then got into a quarrel with some Brazil
ians. Hard words arose, a general fight
ensued, and the Prussian*, having ejected
their opponents, went to work and smash
ed everything in the bouse. While this
pastime was in progress the police ar
rived. Toe Prussians resisted the offi
cers of the law, more fighting took place,
wounds were given on both sides, aud
finally the beligerant foreigners were cap
tured and taken to prison, where they
were locked up like common vagrants.
Among the prisoners is said to be u near
relative of Prince Bismarck's, and the
whole business looks very disagreeable.
A diplomatic correspondence has l>ecn
exchanged, and the prisoners have leen
set at liberty. But the report from Ham
burgh that a German squadron was fit
ting out at Kiel for Brazilian waters,
Beetns Co be confirmed, and it is not im
possible that serious complications will
arise from an absurdly insignificant oc
casion.

A Terrible Tale.
A Mankato (Wisconsin) correspondent
sends the following horrible tale : Last
Sumtuor a family consisting of husband,
wife, and three iiltle children, went from
this city to live upon a cluiui situated
near Herou Like, tu Noble Couutj, and
about fifteen mile* inita from Okakous.
On the lit iiist, the husband, who t
given to drinking, started fur Jackson
ostensibly on business, but only to in
dulge in the pleasures of hia deviliah
np|>etite. He hft his wife and children
of tlie open prairie, in the dead of the
Winter, with scarce n stick of wood, aud
what is still more incredbilc, while she
was Jnily expecting confinement. The
day alter he left CSJUO the fearful slortn,
and whan that was expended the poor
woman found herself without fueL She
knew that she could scarcely ex|ect her
husband home for several days, as it
took that time generally for hint to re
cover from his sprees, and the couviction
came to her that her family would agon
freeze to death unless succor could ta
had frutu ilia neighbors, the nearest of
whom was three nolo* distant So this
desperate woman, at that time in so
delicate a coiKlition that ahe might l>e
confined to her tail, started out in the
fierce cold for help. At least such istta
supposition, for tue next day some of
tlx* neighbors found tar body, together
with that of tbo new-born babe, stark
stiff, in u snow bunk, where she had fall

How Turr FOUND IT.— lf we may le
--liave s Detroit, paper, u singular affair
took place there recently. A man fell
ovrbourd in the river and ores drowned.
Attempts were made to Bod the body in
vain. While the men were thus engaged,
a buyer of jntil stuff, an Italian, watched
them for a while, and thou proposed to
get a loaf of baker's bread, put some
quicksilver iuto one end. and seriously
asserted that on Wing thrown info the
water it would float to A point directly
over the body, and then stand still. He
was hooted at, and told to go nbout liis
junk-buying, not a man believing in the
old woman s whim, a* they ternr-d it.
The Italian went away, but returned in n
Utile while, threw a loaf of bread into
the river near where the man went off the
dock, and in a moment called the aboli
tion of two men Itelow to the fact that
the loaf was spinning around like a top.
It went partly under the wharf, stood
still for a moment, and tlum went half n
block down stream, turning right and
left, and, as vouched for by five different
men, stood nearly two minute* against
the current, which was floating driftwood
right by it. Very much excited, the Ital
ian shouted to the searchers to drag over
the spot. They we BO further down, and
it was half nu hour before they passed
over the spot, but when thev did it was
i to hook into the alothr s of the drowned
sailor, and he was hauled to the dock.
NOT BO FMMT FOB Time—Not long
since on a railroad train a young couple
seated in a car were so affectionate that
tiiey could not keep it to themselves,
iimoh to tho annulment oCsomc and dis
gust of atiir pfUhe ptssflpger*. The
couple bad aflriicted a good deal of atten
tion on the iMMiuigo by their affectionate
kisses and embraces, and the conductor
concluded to play a trick on them tliat
would, perhaps, operate beneficially. Ho
telegraphed ahead to the agent of sta*
tiou to have a clergyman at tho depot.
Tho train came in, and the clivine was
prompt. When the train slopped, the
minister entered the ear nud the conduc
tor pointed out the couple, who still sat
nflrctionntely near each other. The cler
gyman advanced toward tiiern, aud in a
clear, slow voice said: Are you the
eonirte who desire to be married ! " They
made no answer, Imt spi>eari'd to le ut
terly confused and dumbfounded, while
the "passengers, who now first knew of
the trick, could n>t roe train tbeir laugh
ter. By atul-hy the whistle sontidcd and
the train left, carrying the lady and gen
tleman witti it, while the minister stayed
behind. The affair was explained to him
the ncft day, and his feo paid as if ho
had performed tho oeromonr. During
the rest of the trip, the couple were less
affcctibuoto.
Fnrrziso op Wateb. —ln a recent
commnnieation to the the Academy of
Sciences at Paris, M. Bouasingnult de
scribed some experiments, showing that
water is not liable to freeze, irrespective
of the degree of cold to which it is sub
mitted, as long as it is not allowed to ex
pand in order to change into ice. In one
instance water inclosed in a strong steel
tube wiu exposed to a temperature of
—l3° Centigrade without congelation.
This, however, oecnrred instantaneously
on unscrewing the steel end of the tube.
The fluidity of the wuter was made man
ifest bv small steel spheres which moved
freely inside of the tube during the wliolo
process, and would have been stopped by
congelation.

War With Hpala.
The flnanish Journal, Kl fVoai'afo, of
New York, discuasee at length the result
! of a war between the United BUtes and
: Spain, It saya that nearly one-half of
Urn whole commerce of thia country
with Uta New World cornea from the
Spanish Antilles, and that thia trade
figures up StM.UUO.OOO. If to this ia
oddod the instantaneous depreciation of
iM|er money, which would lie unpreee
tented, especially in view of the alarm
whieh would seise upon the commercial
men at the prospect of a naval war, aud
we should ('aid, it aaya, that tha loss of
*82,1100,M00 would be the smallest item
iu the bill of tosses for thia country.
The paper concludes .(a article as fol
low#: Three frigates, with threw oilier
wooden, aud eight or teu smaller ones,
would blockade effectually Boston, New
I York and Philadelphia, and there being
Jo marine strength here sufficient to raise
tch a bt: ckade, it would be easy to see
what would lie the immediate conse
quence, aud at the same time bow the
oouutry had been brought to such es
tfemity by the folly of the journalists,
i And if two corsairs, with tla-eeof our
j ordinary war sliipa, should liegiu to scour
the Aoniean coasts of the Atlantic,
burning down town# and seising ujsin
j everything floating an American nag,
we are inclined to think that the hum
bugging idea of getting ready in ten or
twelve months (as soon aa anything could
be done), would not prevent the imme
diate catastrophe that would follow, nor
tile ulterior oonaequeueea, gloomy a*
I Uiey would lie. which this country would
experience for many years.
As Spain has a Mediterranean coast
and holds the Canaries (whieh is the us
turai route to the Ktruit), and as our
ports in Calabria are not i-r from the
paling stations of England and France,
,'Uid a# we hold the Pltiilippines oi the
Btst India coast, the Cape of Good
H ipe, Fernando Po, Cisco, and Anda
j Am (nil of which are strategic points,
md arc our exclusive property), we say
! we should lie happy (if it would please
! the American press to tell us), to know
how the shipping of this oouutry,
whether commercial or naval, could es
ieape the clutches of Bpauiah men-of
war.
To these considerations may be added
the farther fact: tie* ill-will of the South
ern States toward* the Yankee*, which
would be evideueed at the first shock of
war; then let these journals say what
would become of the great American
nation in a few months, and whether or
not it would not tic compelled on bended

The Cuban Massacre.
Among the pepers sent to Congress by
tlie President, i* a letter from V ice-Con
sul-Geueral Hall to Assistant Secretary
of Stale Davi*, dated November 28, giv
ing a circumstantial account of the alleg
ed desecration of the grave of Caatauoo,
the Key West martyr, a* he waa held to
i be by a portion of the Peninsular impu
tation. The me iical student*, be says,
did not break, but merely ma lea few
scratches with a diamond upon the glaas
plate that eneloaea the niche, and remov
ed or destroyed the wreath and replaced
jit with one of their own selection. The
government waa utterly powerless and
thoroughly intimidated by tlie volun
teers, and was finally obliged to com
promise with them by ordering a drum
head court-martial to try the piisonera.
It was found ueceasary, to prevent a more
serious conflict, that some at least of the
young men should ta sacrificed. The
court martial, eomposed of equal nam
tiers of regular and volunteer officers,
commenced at 2 o'clock in the morning,
and at noon Uia sentence* were given
I out. The execution took place sin the
( afternoon, up to which hour the volun
teer* kept up their demonstrations be
fore the prison and the palson. Through
oat the wool* of this affair the govern
ment displaved it* utter kelpleasnc-as in
dealing witn such emergencies. The
regular force at it* command was in*ig"
nifleaut while that of the volunteers was
large, readily concentrated, and, a* in
this instance." when nearly unanimous of
purpose, over-powering. Mr. Hall con
cludes by saying that during the commo
tion great alarm prevailed among the
Cuban* and not a little among foreign
era. There were well-founded apprehen
sions that a general massacre of Cubans
was intended, and to tkia p. ssibly m-y
ta nttritrated one of the motives for a
compromise with the volunteers and the
sacrifice of the young men.
The International Pisiform.
Many of our readers have no doubt
been iu s quandary, as to the platform of
the *• International*." An officer of Ue
society in New York gives a city paper,
a synopsis of this platform, as follows :
1. The total alKuition of all class rule
and all class privilege*.
'2. Complete political and serial equali
ty for botii sexes.
" 3. Nationalization of the land, and of
nil the instruments of production.
4. A reduction of the hour* of labor,
no a* to allow more time far improve
ment and recreation.
5. Education to be undertaken by the
State—to be obligatory, gratuitous, ami
secular.
6. Religion to be ignored, a* being n
speculative subject concerning the in
dividual. No religious differences or
creed to be recognized.
7. The substitution of a direct system
of taxation, hased upon property, instead
of the present system of levying taxation
upon industry ; the taxation to be pro
gressive.
8. The abolition of the standing army,
as being n provocative to war.
!). The adoption of the principal of
associative production, with a view to
the complete supercession of the present
system of capitalist production.
Turn Tim YBBU. —In New York
the solemn ceremonies of a religions

el of the Sisters of Charity. Tlio occa
sion was that of a young lady taking up
on herself the Order of Mercy. At the
commencement of the service the novice
prostrated herself at the foot of the high
altaf, while a choir of nuns chanted the
Litany of the Saints in her behalf. At
the communion she arose and slowly as
oended the altar steps. On reaching the
platform upon which the priest stands
she again knelt and devoutly prepared
herself for the reception of the holy sac

In the Dark.
An accident at tho gns woa'ts in New
York left the portion of the city between
84th and 79th streets entirely in the dark
during Holiday season. By this accident
thirteen thousand householders were
eompelled to burn candles or oil at their
holiuuy festivals. In the district are
nearly one hundred churches which were
lighted by candles during the week. In
tho stores candles, were struck round iu
the windows in aV sorts of hastily impro
vised candlesticks, such as old bottles,
pieces of board with holes bored through,
potatoes and turnips cut in half, the flat
side of the vegetable forming the base,
wliile a hole rndely scooped in the round
part received the caudle. That portion
of tho city locked gloomy enough.

Lest Children.
In New York City there is a station
house devoted to the reception of those
who have been picked up iu the street*
by the police. A reporter who visited
the place aaya :
A policeman came in with a little boy
about seven year* of age, with a bruised
and bleeding face, in tears, in rags, dirty,
mid a lanentable figure generally. "Who
is this 1" said the matron. "His name
is PADDY WOO LA*, and be doesn't know
quite where he lieea," replied the police
man. "His father and mother are having a
drunken spree in the house, bhving beat
each ether and the children, and driven
tin m out of the bouae. I found him run
ning, out of breath, and panting with fear
and fatigue, and I've brought him up
here." The matron nodded with a sort
of troubled look, wiped his eyes, pre
sented him with a piece of bread and
butter and gave him a cup of tea. 'Thia
treatment abated h violence of his grief,
and though he sobbed a little aa he
munched, yet the sea of hia emotion waa
evidently going down. " Are there many
such case#?" inquired the reporter,
" Too many, only too many," she an
swered ; "ualf the poor children who
are lost have in reality been diiven out

Terrible Experience a a Raft.
A young blacksmith of Fart Smith,
Ark.,* named Engleberth Shutar, not
long since discovered a canoe lodged on
a drift nils in the Arkansas River, and
resolved to secure it For thi* purpose
ke tied two logs together with grape
vines, aud pushed out into the stream,
which at that point ia very deep and
rapid. Atast seventy-five yards from
the shore his craft encountered one of
those huge wayfaring logs so common in
Western streams, and was driven in
pieces bv the shock. Shnber, as his only
chance, leaped upon the slippery log, and
clung for Lis life.* A companion who
saw him start out went back to town for
help, but when it arrived it waa nearly
dark and a Northern hurricane had set
in, dualling the icy waves over the log
wlaeb was the vouog man's only salva
tion, and though bis friends attempted
to reach every scow and fiktboat which
was put out swamped at once, and thev
were obliged to leave him to the almost
certain fate of a lingering and painful
death. All night be remained upon the
icy-coated log exposed to the gale, and
to* the wave* until be was encrusted in
a solid armor of ice, and tumbled about
by the currents of the river. The next
morning it waa reported in town that he
wa w*n on the log stiff in death. When
i hey reached him, however, he was found
still alive, but with his face and limb*
fearfully frozen. He had been eighteen
hours on the log.
Railroad Bond*.
For several mouths past the Northern
Pacific Bonds have been selling st the
mte of a million s month, a*d Messrs.
Jav Cooke & Co.. the agents, report a
brisk and unabated demand thus far in
the month of December. This must be
highly encouraging to the company who
are building the second great highway to
the l'aciftc, but it ta not surprising in
view of the attractions which these
bonds present. A good railroad and ita
traffic are usually considered security
enough for a first mortgage bond, yet
the Northern Pacific Bonds are not only
a first lien on the Railroad and its pro
perty, but is tMrtiUioH are a first mort
gage on valuable lands in Minnesota and
the Northwest at the rate of 23,000 acres
for every mile of rood built, or upwards
of 50,000,003 acres in the aggregate.
Every bond of the denomination of
SIOO, for instance, lias 50 acres pledged
in its support, and it is sjiecinlly pro
vided in the Company's charter, that the
{lroceeda of all land s.des must be applied
to t':e cancellation of the bonds, as long
as they can be ltought at a price not ex
ceeding 10 per cent, premium. The
Kinds, worn used in purchasing the
Company's lands are worth 81.10 now;
and it will probably not be long before
they reach that figure in the market.
Their present price is par and accrued
interest in currency, and they War in
terest at the uuusually high rate of 7 3-10
per cent, per annum in gold.— Com.
FROM all tne information received,
there is every reason to believe that Dr.
Livingstone is alive, and though age,
fatigue, hardship and want have laid
their marks upon him. yet he lives, and
the labors of his years will yet enrich

Any person after using half a can of

TH DAT AJTISM A DKBACCH the parch

symptoms, prove that ttaieon has enter
ed tue veins and eru nes, ood bedh cir
culated with the blood through every
organ. More slowly, bat not leas oar
tainly, the use of the Alcoholic Astrin
gents sold as medicines, depresses the
vital fluid and wreeka the nervous sys

In Da. WAUCCB'S VIKMOA* Brrrat you
have a pure tempemnoe tonic, blood

The importance of giving Sheridam's
Caoaby Conditio* Powders to honea
that have Iteen out in Use oold rain,

man should be without them who owns

We were pleased to see, not long oiime,
in one of our exchangee, some pretty
severs remarks addressed to several per
sons who, during an interesting lecture
by Rev. Jno. 8. C. Abbott, kept a coti-
Uuuooa coughing, which prevented
many from brariu x. People who cannot
refrain fiom coughing, hod better stay
away from such "places, or else take a
bottle of Johnson's A nod/At Lutunenl
with them.— Com.
