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. " That's true,"'cried %
man. At the close heßaid to the lectnrc-r,
" I beg your pardon, sir, but I could not
help speaking. I was a drunkard ; bat
as I did not like to go to the public house
alone, I used to carry this child. As I
approached the public bouse one night,
hearing a great noise inside, she said :
" 'Don't go, father !*" " 'Hold vour
tongue, child !'" " ' Please father, d'on't
go ! '*' " Hold your tongue !'" I mid.
" Presently a big tear fell on my cheek.
I could not go a step further, sir. I
turned round and went home, and have
never been in a public house since—
thank God for it! lam now a happv
man, sir, and this little girl has done ft
all ; and when yon said that even she had
influence, I could not help saying,
' That's^true, sir ! All have influence.'"
Killed nr a Lion.—The Bolton cor
respondent of the London Daily Eujlr,
telegraphs under date of Jan. 3: "Last
night Maasarti, the lion-tamer at Man
der'®Menagerie, now exhibiting in this
town, was torn to pieces by th lions
with whom he was performing. 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.

with a placard six inches square attached
to it, whereon was described this agree
able legend: "One half-dozen photo

A California Wild Han.
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.

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. The little one did not
seem to lie* greatly encouraged by the
exhibition.— San Francisco Bulletin.

which are engaged in the fisheries alone.
Tonnage is valued at Sl,7tNk,tAolt, and til#
product of the fisheries last year is given
at a valuation of 91,'271,308. During
and before the war there were ten aliip

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
. Btuldrr i revealed a state of things which
cannot fail to excite alarm in regard to
:the safety of other bridges supported
|by wires. 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.

—The citv of N:ut Lake, which has a pop
ulation of Bbout fifteen thousand, is to
laid out that tlie streets, uj right angles
with aach other, coincide with thacardi
! uol points of the compass ; and of the
one hundred and eighty block* thus
for mad, eaob one contains a plot of ten
, acres, while this square is again sulalivi
■ dod by lines cj-ossing at tho centre, into
fonreortier building-lota, or two and a
quarter nensi each. The slnvt* are
broiul and without pavement. Between
the carriage-way aud the sidewalk is a
! shallow ditch filled with running water,
which surrounds every block in tlie city.
' and serves to irrigate the gardens and
j lawns which are the charm of tlie town.
This water is brought from the moun
tains and distributed at the highest point
\ of the city during the season, and when
winter approach"** it is turned in another
direction, to prevent tho inconvpnicnee
of its freezing in the street.
I THE Miur XHTIOS.— An interesting
quarrel has sibling up between the Milk
Producers' Association, composed of East
ern Massachusetts farmers, ami the con
tractors who supply tho milkmen in bos
ton. As is usually the esse with middle
i men, the contractors want all the profits
1 and recently voted to pay th® fanners only
45 instead of 50 cents per can of eight
quarts, intending of course, that the con
sumers should continue to pay 72 cents a
can; but the fanners declare that thoy
will not agreo to tlie reduction, and have
i voted that they will ''withhold their tnilk
i sooner than submit to it." With the lib
eral margin which they have received, the
! contractors pocketed 8807,500 last year,
%nd the sympathy of the public is, as might
be supposed, wholly with the farmers.
LO*DO* CARMEN.— The cabnlPn in
London appear to be honest men. Two
Indies hired a hansom to go a short dis
tance. and, having arrived, tendered
their driver the proper fare of a shilling.
This tho man declined, and, as they were
alone, to avoid altercation, they gave him
the extra sixpence he demanded. To
their infinite amazement, in half an hour
the cabman came luck again, "regret
ting extremely having charged them Un>
much, but having mado inquiries and
found he was iu the wrong, ho uiuat leg
to return the sixpence.'' The procedure
is regarded na so extraordinary as to have
formed the subject of comment by the
entire London press ; and probably HO
much fame was hardly ever gained before
at so little cost.

Brnjamin Franklin
Flnrace Orealey at tlie dedication of
the Franklin afattie in New York, said :
If I were reeuirod to say for winch ol
Frauklin's achievements he deserved
moat and best of mankind, I should
award the jvalm to hia autobiography—
ao frank, ao aunny, so irradiated by a
lirnve, blithe, hearty, hnmanity. For if
I our lathers had not—largely by the nid
■ of his eonnael, hi* lalsirs, hia sacrifices
—achieved their independence at the j
first effort, they would have tried it again
aud agaiu nutil they did achieve it; it
he had not mail* hi* immortal discovery
of tlie identity of electricity with the ;
lightning, that truth would neverth.-lesa i
have at length lcn demonstrated ; but ,
if ho lind not so modestly and sweetly
told na how to wrestle with poverty and
eompel opportunity, I do not know wh<>
IN map would or oould have done it so
well. There is not to-day, thorn will not
;be in this nor in Ihe next century, a
friendless, humble orphan, working hard
for naked daily bread, and glad to im
prove his leisure hours in the corner of
a garret, whom that biography will not
cheer and strengthen to flglit the battle
of life buoyantly and manfully. I wiah
some humane trsetsociety would proaent
a copy of it to evcrv |>oor lad in the j
United States. But 1 mnst not detain t
you. Let me stun up the character of j
Franklin in the"fewest wools that will!
servo me. I love and revere him as a !
journeyman printer who waa fnigal and
didn't drink ; a parvMu who rose from
want to competence, from obscurity to
fame without losing his head ; a state.'-
man who did not crucify mankind with
long winded documents" or spei'ches ; a
diplomatist who did not intrigue ; a phi-:
loaopher who never loved and an office
holder who didn't atrel. So regarding
him, I respond to your sentiment with ,
" Honor to the memory of Franklin."

AKSWIBUNO LETTERS.—A great many
people in this anwtry ro shamefully
negligent abtmf Ensuring fetter*.
Nothing u more Annoying. In European
countries it i* regarded as tho height of
ill-breeding to allow a letter which need*
a reply to go unanswered. nn<l ao it ought
to be considered here. Thia ia a point
on which parents should lay great strew
to their children. They should lie taught
to consider it * rnde not to reply to a
letter which needs attention as to hand a
fork with the prong end.
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.

the aocial position of the murderer and
hia victim, the latter having liaoa a law
yer and politician of much notoriety,
iiud the former a charcoal dealer, add. d
to the excitement occasioned by tho
i murder.
During the night preceding tho exe

Hia inter took leave of him 'luring the
evening, and hia brother and the chap
lain aj-ent the night in lua cell until 12ik).
About that hour Botta expressed a wiah

naded the hall. With great coolneea he
examined the gall own, and teuched the
bag of auud which waa suspended at the
cud of the rope, for tbo purpose of toat

of great fear and excitement. The
I clergyman gratefully thanked the
prison official* in behalf of the doomed

in Jeans Christ
Ths knot was then adjusted, the cler
