How TO W THE Fisn Toe HOOK. — A friend of the Pilchard Unit hers, the noted fly makers, sends to Wdkts' Spirit the following. Tfe says: T have actual ly taken twenty-five tn*r in one week, varying in weight .from three and n-half pounds to eight pound-, each by the un dermentioned method and never found it to fail. 1 have a long, stiff rod, accom panied by reel hue and gut in comparison, and two or ffiree doxen blue-bottle flies, such as yon will find in a butcher shop. I used to flay a half-penny a dozen for them, Bate with a g*cd sized pertti hook. Pbce a couple of these fliea back to back, lengthwise, with about three quarters of a yard of gut from the rod; put your bait in a hole in the leaf of a tree and let it sail down to the spot where you have the trout feeding, or where yon have seen or heard one rise. At the same time you must be careful not-to disturb the fish. as. like the hare in her form, once disturbed they will not return. Again, if fishing in a boat, gathers pock ettull ot leaves of the alder-tree, per forate them, and drop one or two from the top of the rod, and then put the flies in the hole of the leaf, nakicg tbeia appear to be alive by shaking the rod. when hnoktd, play with confidence, but not with force, or else you will lose your tack le etc." THE DIET or FOWIA.— The diet of gallinaceous birds, when they are in a wihl state, contains a large proportion of highly - seasoned or aromatic sub stances. The hud* and berries plucked in the forest are generally spicy, or well flavored with h*tpeet, or are peppery or pungent. B ce the peculiar game flavor p .K-e* 'd, as every epicure knows, by the fle-b of wild animals. Our cul tivated grains have a delicious aroma, as proved by newly-popped corn, or the fragrance of a loaf fresh from the oven, lbe flavor of wheat belougs more especially to the portion of the kernel nearest the hull, one reason for the pop ularity ot graham flour. The flavoring principle inartides of food inch as fruits, nuts, graina, or other seeds, consists in a peculiar volatile oil. Now, aroma, bou quet, flavcw, or whatever we chooao to call it, in food, possesses almost univer sally a tonic of stimulating propriety. It gives zeal to the appetite, and aids digestion.. To apply these remarks to the diet of fowls; though grain is aro matic, it is bat slightly so when compared with the intensely seasoned forest-fare ol the partridge, wild turkey, or the parent of onr domestic fowl, the wild jangle-ben of India. To restore the lost balance, therefore, between tho nutri tive and stimulating properties of the food of our poultry, a little cayenne popper, ground mustard, or ginger may be added to their dough, meal, or mashed Eotatoes, with decided benefit to their ealth and prcfltfloneea. DB. FRAHKLTN'S OFFER.— Dr. Frank lin made the following offer to a young man: "Make," said he, "a full estimate of all you owe, and of all that is owing you. Reduce the same to a note.

A U ick Upton. "Pooh! run! 1 wouldn't," aaid Tom Hartley. *l'tl just like to see them run ningaround loose—wouldn't it be jolly!" "I guess you'd be seared if the eleph ant should step on y on," said Bob. "Scared!— now what do yon think I'd dot I'd just push lus foot away, and I'd give him a great kick; and 1 guess he wouldn't step ta me again." ! Now, Tom always talked in thia grand ; wnv, aud the boys thought he nitist be j very brave. It's true he fluttered aml shirt among the geese, aud wlieu the old ' gander flew at him Torn ran screeching ! tike a loon. Then another time he roar ed lustily because he thought a cow chased him. Well, pretty soon the circus came, sud while the performance was going on a monkey was brought and put on th< pony "Hector's*' back. "Oil! don't 1 wish I could ride him," said Tom llart ley. "Wouldn't you be scared?" said Jack Wilson. "Seared—pooh! I shouldn't bo scared if bo jumped as as the top of the teflt. The higher no jumped the better I'd like it." Just at that minute "Hector" kicked up his bind legs and threw the moukey across the teak But the monkey pick ed himself up and ran after "Hector" caught him by the tail. Then he com menced striking him with a stick. It didn't hurt the i orse at all, but he pre tended that it did, and so he ran around the riue as fast as he could go. But it happened that he xtop|>ed just under the platform where the boys were, and as the clown came up, Bob Upiou throw a noire of melon rind at his head, and Jack Wilson reached down with a long stick he had. and poked the cap oil his head. Then the boys all shouted and i atam|>ed their feet, and screamed out all manner of rude things again. The clown looked very angry; he pick ed up hia cap, but no sooner had he put it on his head again, than TOM Hartley reached down with his stick to poke it off. But Tom's stick was not loug enough, and in reaching down, over Torn went. He fell to the ground and hurt himself a good deal, but he hadu't time to thiuk of that, for quick as a wiuk, the clown Eicked him up and put him on "Hector's" ack. "Oh! Oh! Oh!" roared Tom, as the rlowu cracked his whip, and "Hector" commenced running around the ring at anawfnl gallop. Tom thought he should die; he tried to hold on, but he scream ed so lout "Hector" was frightened, and rau a great deal faster than ever he did with the monkey. The clown put up the bars, and "Hector" gave a great jump aud went over them. It almost took the breath ont of Tom. I really think then the clown might have taken him off. Buthedidu't; he clapped his hands and "Hector" understood what he was to do; so he kicked up bis hind legs, and Tom went —not exactly sky high, hut over the horse's head and almost acro-s the tent Of course it hart Tom a great deal more than ever it did the monkey, for the monkey was sack a little fellow, and theu he always knew when "Hector" was going to throw him. and could give a jump. But there lay pooi Tom on the ground, screaming louder than ever he did in his life before. Then the clown toqk up a long iron rod that bad a hook on the end of it, and went up to Tom. "Oh. see," cried the boys, he's going to lick him." The elown came up to where Tom lay sprawling on the ground, nud he stoop ed dow„ and looked at him, as though he saw some very curious thing that he never had seen before. He looked in snch a funDy way, that it made every body in the circus langh. Then the clown pot the hook right through the waistband of Tom's trowsers and held him up. All the people shouted and laughed again, for Tom looked just like a crab stuck on the end of a poker. And so the elown carried him over, and lifted him up to the platform. Poor Tom! For mv own part, I felt very sorry for him; but after that, he never was heard to any that he should like to ride on a circus horse, and he never again was known to toaze the clown.— Rural Nev Yorker. i A FISH WITH Font HANDS.— Mr. Foord, member of the Australian Eclip se Expedition, recently described before i the Hnyal Society a most extraordinary crec ure, which was dredged up from the bottom of the sea near the northern shores of Australia. Mr, Foord says: " The body was that of a fish, but, won derful to relate, it had in the place of fins four legs, terminated by what yon might call hands, by means of which it made its way rapidly over the coral reef. When placed on the skylight of a steam er, the fish stood np on its four legs, a sight to behold! It was small, and something like a lizard, but with the body of the fisb!" The land animals of Australia are notorious for their peculiar forms and structure, but according to the above they are even less nondescript than those inhabiting the Australian seas. Mr. White member of the same expedition, tolls strange tales abont rats. "The little island upon which we pitch ed our tents," be says, "was overrun with them, and what was most extraor dinary, they were from every color from black to yellow, and some tortoise shell." MFSSELO. —Mussels are found as na tives, all over the world, their f. vorito haunts being estuaries, in which the fresh and salt waters arc mixed to their rather epicurean taste; but cultivation has done much fot the improvement of their flavor.particularly in France, where a great deal of attention has been paid to the matter. Stakes are placed near the moutli of an estuary.so that the ebb ing and flowing of the tide shall alter nately submerge and expose the greater part of their length. On these the young mussels fasten themselves, and hero they are allowed to remain for about twelve months. At the expira tion of this time they are removed and thrown on wicker shelves, s > placed that they will again be alternately submerged and exposed. Here they remain for a like length of time after which they are thrown on other wicker shelves placed entirely above the water. After a year's residence here they -are deemed ready for use and are taken directly to the market COPPER AND CHOLF.HA.— During the cholera epidemic which prevailed m En rope several years ago, it was observed in Parte and elsewhere that workers in copper appeared to enjoy an almost ab solute immunity from the disease, and a similar experience has been met with in Bagdad, where the disease was very prevalent the past year, indeed, to snch an extent that between the end of April and the end of October about 800 persons died in a population of 80,000 person*. Out of this latter number alxmt 500 were engaged in making or selling cop per articles, and it is asserted that among them there was not a single victim to the •holera. A Court-martial sitting at Versailles for the trial of Communists has passed sen tence of death npon Lsftancais and Clus eret by reason of their contumacy in re fusing to appear and answer the grave charges against them. A Story of the Wreck, fleo, W. Howard, of Rome N. Y., will lie remembered * the gentleman who was married at Sharon Spring* a few day* since, and WM on hla way to visit a bro ther in Pawtucket, K. 1., when lie lost hi* bride of a day by the late Metl* diaaater. The next morning what was supposed to be hla wife'* body was found, and It wa* reported that her tnneral would take place at Sharon Spring* yesterday. The wife'* ring*, though it wa* of a different pattern, yet he did not feel positive that it wa* hi* wife. Being nearly exhausted himself, and not in a condition to think much about it, he concluded it tnuat he her. Accordingly a coffin wa* procured, at Stouington, and he started for the home of hi* loved oie. lie arrived there Saturday evening ith what he upj>ved WM the remain* of hi* wife, hut, on open : ing the coffin at the residence of hi* wife'* parent*, they discovered at oneo that it wa* not theirdaugliter. The scene that followed ran be better imagined than described. The afflicted husband at once returned to Stoniugton, and forwarded the corpse by express. When he arrived he found another man searching tor the body he had supposed wn* his wife. In the meantime, hi* friend* in Pawtucket had heard of the lady who was picked up by thesehooner A. H. Belden and brought to Newport, and bad telegraphed to the ' undertaker for a description, which he ! gave, and at the same time had a photo | grapli taken and sent also. Tin*convinc ed them that the body which had been iu j ihi* city *ince Friday uigtit wa* no other than the wife of Mr. Howard. He, in j company with hi* brother, arrived here j this morning, aud at once ideutifietl her. The scene that follows beggars descrip i tion. As the husband gased upon the I remains of his beloved, he was deeply af fected, as were all present. The body was taken away on the boat, via Wickford, to Home, N. Y. She was twenty eight vears ot age, and hears a striking resom- I blatice to the woiuan the huaband had supposed was hi* wife. Mr. Howard state* that the coat found upon her was placed there by himself to keep her warui, and that a moment after they were washed ft out the Metis, and all his exertions to j save her were fruitless. It is a sad atory, | probably the roost heartrenderiug one i that can be told of the terrible disaster. I'KUOVERSISLE RSNREK.— How true it is that "he lhat i* slow to anger i* better than the mighty; and he thar ruleth hi* spirit, than he that taketk a city." A failure in these rtspects recently occasioned a series ot terrible tragedies iu Gloucester county, 111. A farmer named White who was not slow to auger, shot a couple ol bounds belonging to a neighbor named Holt because they were ruuntng across his farm. Holt wanted .White to pay for the dogs. White refused to pay for them, and threatened to shoot Holt. A short time afterward as Holt was pasting \N lute's place, a ueighbor who was there asked lum to stop and sec a new thrashing ma chine work. Holt cliuihcd over the fence and went near the thrashing machine; when Wbite immediately assailed him with a pitchfork. Holt twisted the fork out of his hauds, and then While mounted a hore, aud rode off to a brother's house to get a gun with which to shoot Holt, who meanwhile lclt the tlcld aud started on bis way home. White soon rode back, with a gun loaded with sis buckshot, and shot Holt dead in the road. Mrs. Holt, who was ill, on hearing the terrible news, gave a groan of horror and died, and her new-born twins also died. On hearing of the fate ol Mrs- Holt and her iulants, the neighbors became wild with rage and ven geance at White, who gave himself up to the sheriff ol the count v and begged h.s protection. Tl* sheriff tried to protect him but in vain. That same tiig'ut mre than two hundred citizens assailed the jail, broke in the door with a log. took White into the yard, and bung him to the limb of a tree. Thus five live* were sacri ficed because men were not slow to auger, and did not rule their spirits. DIAMOND DHKJERS. —The diamond diggers iu the South African fields em ploy Kafirs to do the hardest part of the Wi rk, some o? the miner* having large gangs iu their seiviee. These mtivs receive wages, and are expected to turn over all lbe diamonds they fiud to their masters ; but although the most careful precautious nre taken to prevent thofts, which if discovered are severely pun ished, the blacks succeed iu concealing many gems. A late number of the Diamond Xetrs givss an account of a Kafir who was killed by falling into a chum, upon whose body was found, secreted in the scams of his clothing, no less than forty-five diamonds, one of them weighing fifty carats. A Boer working close by heard of this, and as a servant of his had died shortly before he hud the body exhumed. His trouble was rewarded "by finding about thirty diamonds. These discoveries open a new field for explorers which will proli ably be industriously worked. At the New Bush fields a diamond weighing 166 carats was found in June, and was deemed so gieat a curiosity, even there, that it was placed ou exhibition, the owner giving the receipts to the hospital fund. It is described as beautifully shaped, off-colored, with an unfortunate flaw in it. SAVAOB SSAKK.— The other day as a Mr. W. L. Dunbar was at work in his field lie suddenly came upon a huge black snake, fully ten feet long, and be fore he could step bock the snake darted forward and viciously attacked him - ; rapidly coiling about his right leg, mouth wide "open. Mr. Dunbar, after a hard sttnggle, succeeded in kicking it from his leg with the left foot, when it in stantly coiled abont that foot and leg, and tenaciously clung to it for some time, when Mr.* Dnnbar at length freed himself from lite uncomfortable cus tomer. The snake thus foiled, erected its head and struck a bee line for the woods, making a liumming or blowing noise which could be beard for a long distance. The attack was so sudden and unexpected that Mr. Dunbar was per fectly paralyzed and unable to move for some time after the snake left. He savs bis hair arose on end, and the cold sweat stood out all over him. ARTIFICIAL EYES.—A French paper gives a detailed account of the manu facture of false eyes in Paris, from which the curious fact appears that the average sale per week of eyes intended.for the human head amount* to 4(K). "One of the leading dealers in this article car ries on the business in a saloon of great magnificence; his servant has lint one eye, and the effect of any of the eyes wanted bv enstomers is con veniently tried in this servant's bciul, so that the customer can judge verv readily as to the appearance it will produce in his owu head.

Iu a few minutes, l'ilikins r.ijoiued Smith, aud they walked along together The latter noticed the end* of two cigars that I'hilikin* hud thrust into In vest pocket, hut said nothing. Soon tliev came iu front of a fine looking buiVliug, evidently just com pleted. lhiikins surveyed it with an envious | look.

How do you make that out !" " Why, you patronize him, don't ■ you ?" " Ob, my patronage don't amount to much." " Don't it. How many glasses of ale do you buy of lnm a day?" " Nut more than three on the nv. i erage."' •' We'll call it three, tlien, at ten ceuts a glass. It amount* to just thirty cent*. You get your cigars there, I w-lievc. How many a day?" " Sot more than a couple, and ten ceut ones at that.'" "That make* fiftv cent*. Fifty cent* a day amounts to three dollar- a mi k, and three dollar* a week to one huudmd aud fiftv-six dollar* a year. "Weil, I declare! I didn't guppoee it would amount to half that !"said rili kins, a little soberlv. " Yon forget that it is the dunes that make the dollar#. By your own show ing, what you have spent for the last ten year#, for ale aud eigara, if put at in terest, would uot only have enabled you to buy the Carletou place, but l-ft you quite a surplus besides. Now, do you suppose what yon have drank aud stuck ed lias done you any good ?" " I don't think it has done me any harm." " Now, ]on't you feel hat spending an amount of money like that, on what roa think does vou no harm, ami what TOU know haa done vou no good, is JUT* ■ Ing rather dear for your whistle ?" " Why, man," retorted pet ulantly. Hinging the stump cf his cigar across the road, " wouldn't you have u body hare iomc pleasure* ?" " Most certainly ; but i would have them of the rational und enduring kind, aud such as your wife and family eau participate in. Now, you were telling me the other day that you couldn't afford to take one good family jwtper. Why, the amount you sjend every week, for what does vou more harm than good, would pay for the subscription i. wholg i J O4l- -" "True enough. Mary has Wen teas ing me to subscribe for the village pajicr for the last six months." "Then why don't you do it? By what right do vou deny her such an in nocent and rational pleasure, while you expend a hundred fold what it would cost for vour own selfish gratification ? Now, I'ilikins, take mv advice, and sulwcribe for it the lirst thing yon do, and hereafter let Blatherem buihl his owu houses. lit the next house you build be for yourself." There is a useful lesson to be drawn from the foregoing conversation, nud which is of actual occurrence. I am spt-aking to you, sir—not to your next door neighbor, though perhaps it may apply equally as well to him. ldou't deny your families tho simple and innocent pleasures that make home such an attractive and happy place, or pull down the roof over your own head to build houses for other people. How TO TREAT A HORSE. Some English grooms at Saratoga arc teaching the "Yankees" how to take care of a horse. To-dsy I asked one of these grooms, who has spent twenty years in the stables of royalty, what lie had to say about the American way of taking care of a horse. "Why, sir," said he, "yon don't take good care of your horses ; you think you do, but you don't." "Why!" I asked. "Because, when a horse comes in all wet with perspiration, you let hitn stand in the stable and dry with all the dirt on. In England, we take the horse as he comes in from a drive and sprinkle blood-warm water all over him, from hi* hrad to hit fttt. Then we scrape him down and blanket him, rubbing bis legs and face dry. Tims, in an hour ho is clean and dry and ready to take a good feed, while with your way he will staml and swelter for honrs, and finally d-y, sticky and dirty. Onr horses never founder and never take cold. We never use a currycomb. You scratch your horses too hard. The only rare necessary is to have the water not very cold, then bathe them quick and hlankut them instantly, while you are rubbing their legs." I think the groom is sound, and I've noticed the aamo practice myself in England. STANDING TREAT. —One who haa Buffer ed mtteh snya : "Now, boya, if you wish to be generous and treat each other, why not *elo;t some other place besides the liquor shop ?

There was a certain fortrews placer! w the mPi tary map of the Caucasus. The Crown Prince, on visiting the latter country, ex pressed to Prince Woronznff, the com manding general, his desire to visit Said fortress. The general himself, who had never seen the fortress, addressed himself to the chief engineer, who informed him that the fortress existed only on the map. flow to dissuade the Crown Prince from Ids notion to visit the mythical fort was not an easy task. The general resorted first to the strategy of frightening !>aek the Crown Prince by the story of t)>e fort being in the centre of a very dangerous band of marauding Circassians; hut.when this did not have the desired effect, he at last improvised a sitsm attack by adivision of his Russian soldiers turned into Circas sians, and stationed on the imaginary route to the fort. The sham fight lasted for an hour or so, at the end of which the Prince was congratulated by the com manding general for his great bravery in the terrible fight. There were a great many sluun deaths on both the Russian and Circassian side, and many were the decorations which the Emperor Nicholas, father of the Imperial Prince, distributed, at the latter's recommendation, among officers and soldiers who took part in this expedition. Only some years afterward was the deception exposed through sn officer who had fallen out with General WoronEoff. The millions that had been drawn from the imperial treasury lor the erection of a fortress in the conquered country went into the pockets of tho topo graphical chief engineer and his assist ants. I have the above from a Russian aud not Polish source, and from a gentleman who was himself an officer in the party.
