GOOD WASH FOR THI: Trjrrn —Dissolve two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water, and before it is ctud. add one tablespoouful of spirits of camphor, and bottle for use. A teaspoon ful of this nrxture. mixed writli an eoual quan tity of tepid water, and applied daily with a soft brush, preserves and Iwauti fies the teeth, extirpates all tartarous adhesion, arrests decay, induces a healthy action of the gums, and' makes them look pearly white. How TO PRESKRVK TH* HAIS— ' TLI* best way to preserve it is to wash the scalp often and thoroughly with water, drying with a towel. Oils, pomades, eta, clog the pores of the scalp and pre vent the healthy growth of the hair. Keep the head well rentMH ; tf the hat is close, raise it often and let in fresh air; never wear the hat indoor. The ladies, notwithstanding they wear long hair (which is more likely to fall out], seldom are bald-headed. Their heads are not kept closely covered. In sleep ing, do not cover the head with a night cap. MEAT TOTS FOWXS IN WlNTEß. —Nature has provided for wild birds an abundance of easily digested food at the time they need it most, for when nesting, at the beginning of warm weather, the army of insects that keeps pace with the new veg etation supplies every element needed in the formation of eggs. As hens, wheth er wild or domesticated, are no exception fo the general law, and their laving de peiuls very much on the amount of ani mal food they eak and when the gmnnd is frozen, or "when they are kept shut up either in Summer or Winter, they must be given butcher's meat of some kind. Calves' plucks, and the plucks of sheep and lambs. with the hearts and livers at tached. are the best for th® pnrposß. The mode of preparation is important. We have seen such thrown whole and un cooked into the poultry vard ; but there is much waste, lvewtise the firmer tissues cannot be pocked to pieces so ns to be swallowed by the fowls aud eats, dogs and rats prey upon a hat is left overnight, besides raw meat makes hens quarrel some among themselves. The proper way k to boil until tender, and run through a sausage machine, and the ab sence of bones facilitates the latter oper ation, on which account we do not pro cure calves' and beeves' heads when the plucks are to be had. If not convenient to use a mincing-machine, then take for a small quantity of meat an ordinary chopping-kniie and wooden bowl, or for larger operation* a box, such as is used in mixing cut feed for horses, and a spade with a good steel blade ground to a keen edge. Alter chopping add to the mass the liquor in whica it was boiled, thick ened with meal and seasoned with cay enne and salt, and feed warm. If it "is too much trouble tc provide for your fowLs in Winter an equivalent for insect forage, then give only grain ; bat expect to procure your eggs of somebody else who makes aii artificial Summer for his jioultry as to diet, and, as far as possible, temperature also.— Hearth m*u home. The RriAX Question.—lt seems that all is sot harmonious with oar cousin Russia. Prince Gortschakoff has written a letter to Minister Curtin relative to the treatment of Minister C'atacazv by the United States Government. The docu ment has made a decided sensation, inas much as it is supposed to hare the sanc tion of the Czar, and foreshadows that Mr. Catacazy is be sustained by his own Government. The letter is regarded by high officers as a direct and open in sult to the President and Secretary of .State, and is likely to lead to serious re sults. A letter says the country need not be surprised if Mr. Curtin, our Minister to Russia, is immediately ordered to de mand his passport, and* the Russian Charge d'Affaires here supplied with his in order that be may take his departure from the United States. This* would break off all diplomatic intercourse with Russia, but such a step is said to have been under contemplation already bv our authorities.— X. Y. Paper. Influence of a Child.—A gentleman lecturing in the neighborhood of London, said: "Everybody has influence, even that child," pointing to a little girl in her father's arms.

He struck one of the lions on the nose, slipped on his feet and armless side, and one of the lions immediately seized him by the scalp, and tore it almost off. The other lion then sprang upon him, and tore off the flesh completely from the lower part of his back and thighs, and inflicted serious injuries upon his chest, breaking also his right and only arm The excitement in the show was so in tense that the slides dividing the cage could not be got in. One of the lionsehrn dragged their victim from the separate compartment back to the infuriated group, who again set upon him. The partitions were at last got up. The man gled body of the lion-tamer was then re covered and taken to the inflrmarv, where, however, he died in ten minutes.

One of the " wild men of the woods," ; of whose extraordinary exploits we have beard so many different versions, was re cently killed in Livermore Valley, Cali fornia, when in the act of leveliug n Hen , rv rifle at the head of a ranchman named Mullen. The wild man had been in the habit of making nnexjieeted visits to the liaseof Moote Diablo, as it WAS supposed, ; for the purpose of taking the life of Mul , leu. for whom he liad conceived a deadly ! hatred. In a moment of passion he had Imtrnyed his intention to a negro who was in tlie employ of Mullen. The matter was then brougLt to the notice of the ' County Sheriff, but he did not look upon | tlie case as of much importance, Mullen, however, succeeded in procuring a pair of handcuffs and a warrant of an est. While on his way home he met the ma niac, and shot him through the heart in self-defence. When the rags upon the lody were searched, evidence was found which went to prove that the wretched creature hail once borne the name of Peavy, and that he had lxen a resident of New England. To judge from the length of his hair and beard, which grew in straggled masses to Lis waist, lie must have been in a wild state for many years. The Californian rural journaiists will lie the principal sufferers by his death, the vagaries of the poor fellow having fnr nished them for a long time with a basis for the major portion of their most as tounding sensations. A PARLOR GAME.— It ia called the Game of degrees, and ia a little puzzling at first, and requires rapid thinking; but, like the writing of double acrostics, when the mind once gets waked tip to it the prac tice grows easy, and you invent so many things that you can hardly stop. It is played all up and down the room ; every one goes to work at once and gives out his puzzle like a conundrum. The idea is to find a word which by some trick of pronunciation or spelling can be extend ed into another word, or perhaps two, which represent the three degrees of comparison—positive, comparative and superlative. Thus somebody says, "My positive is an evil habit, my comparative is better; " every one guesses, and the words turn out to be bet—better. Or, " My positive is always on top, my com parative is always fast, and my superla tive is always successful—which on ex planation turns out to be Doc(k)— Dex ter—Dexterous.

But till they get ready to reoort to ihi simple exjieuiant of economy thev are not r--*dy to stop advertising, The queation whether advertising )*a.va in individual cases innv be considered a* nettled. Men do not always make money ly ndvertu ing, nor do they alway" make money by going into business. But we have never yet found a mail who reasoned that go ing into business did not pav, even though uine out often men tail atone time or auother. Advertising will not make a business n-mumerutive, if other requisition are iaeking, but to a properly conducted business it is as \ aluahle un adjuuet as an nttraetive sign, a good lo oats on, com toons Clerks and honest deal ing. But there are some views of this mat ter which merchant* to often do not con sider, and of these we desire to *|M-ak. A little ntory will illustrate oue of them. A certain merehauT in this town who has often said he thought advertising did not pay, uudertook the sale of a new : style of good*. A neighbor of his in quired of him how he got aloug with it, and he aaid with considerable disgust that ho had uot been able to do any thing ; could not induce anybody to touch it. Shortly afterward*this neigh bor took a lot of the a<uue style of goods, advertised their merits lila-rully accord ! uig to hi* custom, and noon started a Itrtak sale. Meeting his friend who uev 'er advertised, a few days after, he in ouiretl how the goods went then. " Oh, . nrst-rate," was the replv, " we sell hard jlv auvthiug elae." Ana yet we presume 1 that to thia day it has not occurred to his mind how miieh it jaid him to have his neighbor advertise. The principle suggested by this little true story has a broader application, and it was of this that the remark of the lhm bury AW* moreajavially inspire I us to j -peak We take for granUd that no New England community ne<xls to be j told of the value to it of i good neasp.i per. It is of advantage in the same way j tliat good schools, roads, park", churches, libraries and other good thing* are of advantage—all these going to make the place attractive ami valuable I Kith to its residents and to the surround - j nig country. And to be valualile it is : not necessary that a newspaper should *uit everybody, or be confessedly the best of its class, though it may I>e ex pected of every newspaper that it will lie as good it can afford to be. If it commands readers, if it reflect* the en ergy and prosperity of its town, if it j keeps np with the times—it mutter" very ' little whether its political or other opin ion" are generally agreed to. We mean, ' of course, as far aa its value to the growth and business of the town is concerned. Were circumstance* euch tliat the news paper* of this city could not live here, but could live in \VUlimantic aud should remove there, it would lie safe to l>et that in five years Norwich would only be j spoken of after Willi man tie. We say this to briefly illustrate our moaning, and think nobody will dispute it. But it is well known tliat newgpajiers are t supported mainly by advertising—the pu|iers costing the publisher double the sum he receives for them, or more. If. then, a newspapers i* more valuable to a town, and is to be supported by adver tising, is it not plain tliat it would Ih gnod policy for every merchant to do his fair share in this direction as a matter of public spirit ? Public spirit, however, is not the ground upon whieh a live uewspujier bas es its apt>eid for support. No more i party service. To lie sure a political party will do well to see that it* jwuraal* lire handsomely supported, but a news paper that is kept alive solely for parti aaa uses, and dejiouds ujion party funds for its breath, cannot lie of great advan tage to the public at large, for it is sure, sooner or later, to hare the grip of some clique or faction about it" throat. Y'et ns newspapers are not published simply for the amusement, a* they come fairly within the list of commercial venture*, they make their appeal to the pocket* of merchants on the mercenary argument also. We have already illustrated how one merchant advertising helped an other's business. It is true as a rule, that i all advertising helps the general business ; of a town, and thus adds an iudireet vul uo to the direct advantage of advertise merits. It is also true that the more universally the merchants of aur town or city advertise, the greater is tliint in direct lienefit to the business of the town. This consideration of itself ought to In sufficient (and would bo if thoroughly weighed,) to induce all merchants to ad vertise, even if they could not trace out the direct efli-ctsof their doing so. There are two prominent reasons why universal advertising so greatly helps , business. The newspaper is in fact, a picture of the business of u town. It goes day by day into linndreds of families and stores, in comjwny with newspapers from other places. If now, the columns of the papers from one city are thronged with advertisements great and small, of all sorts of business, wholesale and retail, while those of another represent comparatively few advertisers, and do not have a line perhaps concerning some branches of busine*", it is evident what sort of impression must be produced np- > on the mind of the constant notieer of this difference. When he has any amount of goods, be instiutively starts /or the place whose husiuess is evidently so va ried and extensive. And, in the se cond place, purchasers havo come to have a suspicion tliat where there is little advertising there is lit tle competition and high price* pre vail. Singularly enough al*o, a* a rule, it is the merchants who advertise least who complain ro that people go to other towns to irade. The principles we have stated are so correct tlmt the advertising columns of newspapers have become an unfailing index of the advan tages of their towns ns trading centre*. 1 And it must not lxi Mipjiosed that this nnivenal advertising is the result of growth f business ; on the contrary, it is the cause (all other modes of business effort being equal) and the attendant of Thus much i* suggested by the remark of our Danbury contemporary. If any thing of it' happens to lie applicable to this city, now is a good time to reflect upon it; for jusl now Norwich has pres sing need to call into play all sound jwinciples of business policy to protect her future.— Norwich, (Conn.,) Bulletin. A.v UNEXPECTED STROKE OP DEXTISTHT. —A gentleman visited a dentist recently, for the purpose of whiting away a half hour or so, and while there, a lady came in with a little girl, wanting a tooth or two drawn for the latter. The child cried when placed in the chair, and declared she would not have her teeth attended to unless the strange gentleman would have a tooth drawn first, and to please the little patient he took her place, with a wink at the doctor. The latter took two or three instruments, while the gent letnan reclined in the chair, smilingly gating at the ceiling for the assurance of the watch ing child, and after softly poking at two or three teeth, to the horror of the oblig ing gentleman, he commenced boring in to his jaw where a tooth had once been extracted, and before he could offer n protest, a tremendous wrench brought out a large root, which the doctor held up to the child with a diabolical grin on his face. The gentleman rolled oft' the chair, and with an expression of unutter able pain in his drawn countenance, gazed moment reproachfully at his friend, and left the oftice.

IXK ITOTT or Scsmswox Hninom.— An examination of the cables of tlie sus pension bridge, which recently gave way , at Pittsburg (says the M'tHH/iniurer tmd .

The cables were originally ' eotnposad of twenty strands of wires. In tlie one which Vroke only eleven wirea remain*! at thb point of fracture, the others having corroded awny, and some of these had liecn reduced to the size of a knitting-needle. This brWge, which had stood fifteen years, was known to be unsafe, and was dosed to public travel more than a month ago. Hut no oue suspected that the wire* composing the cable were so eaten away by corrosion as the examination showed them to be ; 1 and the question naturally arises wheth er the same destroying process may not be in progress in any oilier wire cables, as yet unsuspected of weakness.

Tho busiest people are generally those who are the moat exact in thia respect. The late Duke of Wellington, who. it will be admitted, had a good deal on hia hands at different times of hi* life, re plied to every letter, no matter from how hnmhle a source. Once a clergyman who lived in a distant part of the king dom wrote to his Grace, on whom neith er ho nor his pariah had a shadow of claim, to beg for a subscription to build a church. By return of mail ram back a letter from the Duke to the effect that he really could not aec why in the world he should huvc been applied to for such an object; but tho parson sold the letter ns an autograph for £5, and put the Duke down for tbatamonnt among the subscri bers.
