It ts asked—Di>es not tho washing of
butter cause the loos of its aroma ? We
are sure—no. It has nothiug to do
with it It simply washes the milk out
more readily, and saves labor in work- j
ing ont the buttermilk with a ladle. It
rather assists in retaining the aroma
and grain of the butter.
FRUIT CAKK.— One cup of butter; two
cups sugar; one cup of molasses ; one
cup coffee ; one pound chopped raisins;
three eggs ; a dessert spoonful of each
kind of spice ; one nutmeg ; teaspoon
ful of saleratus. Add flour enough to
make it a little stiffer than pound cake.
This cake will keep a long time. A little
citron in very thin slices through the
cake improves it, and currants may be
substituted for part of the raisins. *

We have many inquiries asking ad-
Ticw about selling farms at the East and
going West, This everlasting uneasi
ness belongs to the Yankee character, j
and is oua of the elements, perhaps, iu
his enterprise. We wish, however, to
express, with emphasis, our distent '
from the too prevalent opinion, that
farms at the East are past working with
profit. If, instead of selling out, the
owner of an Eastern farm would inform
himself as to the character of hia nuxl
and its needs, and then expend the i
amount of money he must sacriflce in
selling off all his stock, farming tools
and other personal property, iu needed .
improvements and thorough working of
his farm, he will find all he desires in
the possibilities ol the old homestead.
There is no lack of the natural elemeuts
of fertility in these farms; thev pos
sess the undeveloped equivalents of a
thousand crops. The deposits are there; j
only draw your check with the proper |
formality and the teller of Mother Na
ture's bank will honor it. Look at the
advance of British agriculture in the
last half century—her increase from
fourteen to twenty-eight bushels of
wheat per acre. If" she had poaseaaqi
millions of acres of virgin soil, her
farmers might have abandoned the old
and sought the new fields ; but instead
of that, they have added a new kingdom
below, doubling the production of the '
acres they possess. Young men who (
have no farms, the old hive being full,
will do well to seek one in the West,
but do not sbandon the ancestral acres
to the stranger.— Lirr-Stock Journal.
Efl of Tar on Frail Trrr.
I
I "wish to state a curious effect of tar i
upon fruit trees which came under my ,
observation this year, and I hope it may i
prove aw araing to all jour readers who
may think of painting tress to prevent i
the hares or rabbi s from barking them, <
or for any other purpose. These trees
were painted from the ground upward
one or two feet; and almost every tree '
—apple, pear, peach, quince and all— ,
ceased to grow where painted, while
that part of the body above the painted
portion continued to grow, expand and
thrive as though nothiug hod happened
—bark, branches and leaves, all looking 1
very thnftv. A few of the trees died I
suddenly while in full leaf ; the others !
are now fine looking above, but the bod v !
where the tar covered it looks as thougL
it had a laced jacket of iron around it
for one year, and is a half inch or more j
less in diameter. I think the whole !
orchard will finally die ; for some of the
trees, from weakness of stem below and
growing weight above are toppling over.
Does this not show that the enire bark
of a tree, as well as the leaf, is an organ
of respiration ?— Jt. X. J. Wilton, in
Southern Farm Home.
Renting Farms.
In renting or letting farms on shares
there should be the most stringent stip
ulations on the part of proprietors rela
tive to the use sf the manure made on
the place and the supply of fertilizing
agents on the part of the renter or oc
cupier of the land. We have known it
to cost farmer* more to restore their
farms to the condition in which they left
them, after an absence of three years,
renters occupying them meantime, than
they had received as rents in the interim.
Absolute rest is often far more profit
able than the renting system to the man
who owns the land. It is only in rare
cases that the system of renting pays
the owner of land. In this oountrv it
has not been made so much either of a
bnsiness or study on the part of farmers,
and tenant rights and duties are not so
clearly defined either by custom or law
as in England, where most farming is
done by tenants. If American farmer*
are to give np their lands to tenants and
live off the income derived therefrom in
villages, as seems to be the ambition of
many, there is great need of the caution
we have aliove given.
.Managaweat of Cattle.
A Massachusetts farmer says on this
subject:
"My cattle like my company. When
in the pasture they will follow me until
I leave the lot; and as a general rule
they come up to the barn-yard every
night about sunset and in their way call
for a lock of hay. Though I give them
all they want they take bnt a few mouth
fals, which satisfiesthem, and I am con
fident it does them a good deal of good.
It keeps their bowels regular and they
thrive well and are huppy. They do
much better than they did when Ichanged
pastures once a week, for now they have
a change of food every day instead of
once a week. Cattle need kindness and
they pay well for it. I can handle mv
steers and others as I please. They will
come up to me while I am milking and
invite me to play with them. The time
I think is not far distant when soiling
cattle will be the most profitable where
most of the farm can be cultivated.
Provide a small lot for them to run in,
feed green fodder, save all the manure,
and our farms will grow richer."
Carty Potatoes.
A little care will secure early potatoes
two or three weeks before the time they
will be ready to use if planted the common
way in open ground. Cut the pieces of
the earliest sorts, and place tbem underan
inch or two of earth in a hot-bed, so
closely in drills that they will touch, so
as to economize room. When the open
ground is dry enough, set them out.
They will come on rapidly. If a frost
should occur after they are set out,
they may be protected with newspaper,
but we have never known them to be
materially injured, even if the tips were
nipped a little by frost. Next to a hot
bed, they may be easily sprouted in a
warm room. Even when the sprouts
grow accidentally, potatoes may be had
some days earlier by carefully preserv
ing the sprouts in setting them out—

Liver Hot In Sheep.
An English farmer who has kept sheep
for forty years, says he has found rock
salt a valuable antidote for liver rot,
and that these animals, cannot be too
liberally supplied with this saving sub
stance/ He further declares that in
cases of congestion of the liver or rot he
has found two tablespoonfuls of turpen
tine shaken up in half a pint of water
and given to the sufferer a frequent
cure, unless the disease has made very
great progress.

A nine Hennessey, mho murdered her

When her husband cams to see her she

From Ins erased wife the wretched man
went to look aYthe remains of his ohil

' before him lifeless, charred. black from
the fire on which they were roasted.

Annie Hennessey is n woman about

sallow face, largs gray eyes, that are

aeeuied to lie quite indifferent iu regard

; folded her hands together whenever one
of the physicians approached her cell
and preyed huu, iu touching accents, to
' let her go. Two Sisters of Charity
j visited her, and Uien eatue some rela
tions She spoke to them in incoherent,
: hollow whispers, and in so low a tone
that it was verv difficult to understand
a word she said. When the reporter
visited the cell the pour mother men
tioned her children for the first time.
"Oh! my children, oh! my chil
dren r she "moaned in a low tone, "oh !
uiy poor ehildreu !" The expression of
her face was heartrending, and her eyes
tided With tear*.
•' Where ore they f* t lie doctor asked.
She paused awhile, and gazed on him
with a look of anguish. "Oh ! oh !
they're dead," ahe moaned iu the same
low* tone, and w ringing her hands, " I
killed them; I burnt theiu."
She buried her head in her hands and
sobbed.
" Why did you kill them ?" the doctor
asked.
Blie was dtill weeping, but she raised
' her head and said, in the some hollow,
unearthly tone, "The Lord and the
angels appeared before me in a vision
, and told we to do it. The Lord mo
tioned uie to do it aud (sadly) when I
| looked at my children 1 saw that their

There was a pause. She sobbed pite
ouslv, "Oh, my children ! Oh, my poor

"Did yon strangle them first?" the
doctor inquired.
"Oh. so," she moaned, gazing list
lesaly at him. " I held the oldest first

"And then yon held the other one

"Yes, yes," she sighed, moaning

Words could not convey any idea of
the anguish that was expressed in these
simph words as the poor crazed mother
uttered them.
She implored every one who came
' near her to let her see her children.
Her children! None but a mothercould
' have uttered the word as she uttered
'■ it. The reporter was told that she had
been truly devoted to them, that she
had seemed to love them lietter than
she did her life. The thought that she
i liad killed them whirled wildly through

, told that they would be buried in a few
hours, ahe hid her face in her hands and
wept a long time, until at length she
, laid her head upon the pillow and sank
' into repose.
The children were buried by their

The Baker Expedition.
The expedition which Sir Samnel W.
Baker commanded was sent out in 1870
by the Khedive of Egypt. Its purpose
WM threefold. It was fitted out partly
to continue the explorations made iii
j the region of the Upper Nile and Lake
Albert Nyanza by Sir Samuel in 18G4,
when he discovered the lake named,
and to bring under subjection to the
. Khedive the fertile lands and the bar
f barons nativesof that region, and partly
to take measures towards the suppres
sion of the slave trade of the t'ppar
Nile. The expedition was the most im
posing and the grandest that had ever
been undertaken for the purposes of
| discovery, and was amply supplied with
t all the necessities for such a mission,
| including the machinery for small
steamers. Owing to the great reputa
tion for courage.endurance, and sagacity
that Baker had acquired by his previous
! explorations in the same quarter of the
globe, not to mention his superior
knowledge of the lands to be visited,
the Khedive selected him as the chief
l of tliaexpedition. In the first year of
the expedition Sir Samuel reached Gon
, dokoro. He made an attempt subse
; quently from latitude 9 deg. 26 min.
north, to ascend the White Nile, but
after cutting his way through dense
masses of cane and reeds which, in the
shape of floating islands, completely
j impeded navigation, he was obliged to
' return to the point whence he had
started. His purpose was then to await
a favorable opportunity, with a high
water stage of the river, to force a pas
sage through to Lake Albert Nyanza,
and thus to succeed in floating his fleet
of steamers on that lake, and so settle
at least one purpose of the expedition,
j namely, the question of the true sources
;of the Nile. How far he has succeeded
in the general plan of his expedition
cannot be stated succincntlv as yet.
Sir Samnel was known to the fcgyptuins
in connection with his command of the
enterprise as Baker Pasha He was a
man of magnificent physique and of
nnusual physical strength. His height
was over six feet, and he was a man who,
if any man could, would be most likely
i to command the respect and awe of the
barbarians whom he necessarily en
countered. Lady Baker, whose maiden
name was Florence Sars, was a Hun
garian by birth, and her daring and
her affection led her to follow her hus
band's fortunes in all his dangerous
enterprises. She accompanied him in
his fofmer explorations in the Upper
Nile regions and was with him in the
present, liis last, for it is now stated
that Sir Samuel and his wife, Lady-
Baker, have been murdered in the in
terior of Africa by the natives of that
country.
A Lot of Holidays.
For a young cation, the United States
are accumulating a very neat little stock
of anniversaries. The 17th of June,
proximo, for instance, will be the two
nundredth anniversary of the discovery
of the Mississippi river by Marquette
and Joliet. With five other Frenchmen
and a couple of Indians, they left Green
Bay for tho Bonthwest, ascending the
Fox river to the dividing ridge between
it and the Wisconsin. Their compan
ions all returned to Green Bay, but
Marquette, the priest, and Joliet, the
merchant, the canoes having been car
ried across the ridge to the Wisconsin,
descended that river, and on the 17th of
June, 1673, they emerged from the Wis
consin upon the waters of the Upper
Mississippi. The St. Louis Republi
can says pertinently: "And now, after
\ lapse of 200 years ; after the wilder
ness they found had been converted
into fields and gardens ; after the wig
wam villages have faded away, and the
shadows of mighty cities fall upon the
waters of the stream they fonnd flowing
through trackless wilds, it is proposed
to revive the half-forgotten memories of
Marquette and Joliet, and erect some
suitable memorial which shall preserve
their fame until the latest times." And
very properly.

Taklnfc • lulrreal lu Ihe W*rk.
The work on tin" East river bridge in
being pushed forward with renewed
vigor, and the working force luu IMVII
doubled on both sides of t lie river. The
tower on the Hrooklyn side is completed
to a height >f about IM feet, and the
men are working on tlie three tower*
which rise frinn the main body on a
level with the roadway of the *trnetui<.
Theac tower* are now twenty -five fart
above the level of the roadway, and me
being added to at the rate of a find u
day. Nearly all the work is lieiiiffdono
by atoam. A steam derriek hoist* a
vaat block of atene from Ui>- piei to the
top of the tower. It is tnen placed oti
a ear, which moves on what ta termed a
traveling crane, in other words a track
tlved on a movable road bed, ami from
this poattion it uiovea by mean* of a
balance derrick, alao worked by steam,
to ita appropriate place on the tower.
The outer upper tower* on the Breok
lyu aide art* (US by 'it feet at the base,
und as they ascend there are what en
giueera term "sloping offsets"- that is
to aay, the tower a* it near* completion
Ihvouics narrower, but without assum
ing the shape of a cone or au Egyptian
pvnunid. This the engineer in charge
(Mr. 0. 0. Martin) says gives a relief to
the gloomy heaviucsa of the structure,
for wherever there is au "offset" the
stone ia aniooth-cut, instead of la-tug
left in rough jaggedneaa. This is also
the case with the main tower, whose
dark outlines are much relieved by oc
casional uarrow streaks of cut stone,
contrasting striukingly with the rough
surface of the other jiortioiis of the
work. By graduating the structure in
tins way a great saving of material is
effected, while thestreugth of the towers
remains about the same as though they
were built in solid form. The centre
tower ia 48 by 151 feet at the base.
As the Brooklyn tower makes its slow
but sure aaccnt, it is wonderful how it
dwarfs the buildings in its ueiglibor
hood. Once the tlour-uiill at Fulton
ferry loomed up as an immense struc
ture, but uow it shrinks into compar
ative insignificance beside its inert lofty
neighbor. The new ferry house, when
it was built, had an imposing appear
ance as to the height of its towers, but
now even the golden ball which tips its
flagstaff ia far below the bridge tower.
As fertile stores and dwellings on Ful
ton street, thev have sunk below notice.
Compared to the tower they look as in
signieant as though they were old-fash
ioned watch boxes placed beside the
new Court House, or East river ovster
sloops ranged alongside tho lreat
Eastern. Looking from the street at
the men at work on the tower, they ap
pear like dwafs, while on them the paas
era-by below have the appearance of
lilliuutiiuis.
Tiie Brooklyn tower now employs only
30 men, including carpenters, masons,
blacksmiths, and engineers, but TO have
been engaged for some time past in the
excavations for the anchorage tower,
which is to be erected in James street,
above Front, near the old market. The
exeavatiou will be I'.*) by 110 feet, and
25 feet deep. 8o far the work has law n
easy and rapid, the soil lieing a light
sand, well suited for building puri>o*cs.
Mr. Martin says that this ia worth $1.25
per eubic yard, and as he experts to
take at least 12,0tki yards from the ex
cavation, worth SIS,UU, the building
sand will pay all the working expenses.
In this work, also, steam is employed
wherever practicable. The sand is
shovelled by wen into abox holding two
cubic yards and a steam engine hoists
the box and dumps its contents into a
cart. The foundation for the anchorage
will be a timWr platform, and it will
contain 33,000 yards of masonry. Its
height will lie 80 feet alaive the level of
the river. The excavation will be com
pleted early in May, and the masons
will probably begin work on tho auchor
age tower iu June.
On the New York side the force, in
cluding masons, carpenters, and black
smiths, is fifty men. Col. Payne, the
engineer iu charge, says that the pro
gress mode is eqnal to two feet in three
liars. The tower is sixty feet high, and
it is expected that by the end of the
season it will be raised to the height of
the roadway—lll) feet. The premises
belonging to the Bridge Company are
those formerly occupied by the Wil
liamsburg ferry. The yard contains
carpenter, machine and blacksmith
shops, storehouses, machinery for mix
ing cement, and four engine* for hoist
ing purposes. Little tramways inter
sect it at various points, ami afl mater
ial is conveyed to the works in siaall
cars.
e in the fall or early next season the
excavation of the site for the New York
anchorage tower will be begun. This
tower will be of the same dimensions as
that on the Brooklyn side. It will be
situated a few feet west of Water street,
and north of Dover street. The ap
proaches to the New York terminus of
the bridge will begin at Chatham street,
and by an easv grade ascend to the height
of the tower, Wing supported at conven
ient distances hv iron girders and trus
ses, together with small pier* of mason
ry or iron columns built withiu the
blocks of building which will be cross
ed and occupied.
Col. Payne says that of all the visitors
who have iuspected the caissons, which
are regarded as the most successful of
the kind in the world, a small per cent
age only were from this city. But
French, English, German, and Austrian
engineers have visited and thoroughly
inspected the works, which have been
honored also by the presence of several
delegations of Chinese ami Japanese
magnates, whohave expressed unbound
ed admiration and surprise at the ease
with which vast masses of granite are
raised from the ground and placed in
position.
To give a correct idea of the immense
amount of material used in the caissons
and towers it need only be said that each
of the former contains 4,200,000 feet of
timber—most of it heavy yellow pine,
380 tons of iron in bolts and sheathing,
and 30,000 tens of masonry—the weight
of the whole structure being 43,000 tens.
Add to this 70,000 tens of masonry
which form the tower, and the graud
total is 113,000 tons.— X. V. Sun.
Coal in the Atmosphere.
Coal is carbon ; carbon combine*
with oxygen to form enrbonic acid;
there is carbonic acid in the air nnd it
is an interesting question how much
coal in combination actuully exists in
the atmosphere als>nt us. Savuats as
sert that tlie total is not loss than eight
hundred and fifty thousand millions of
tons. Bnt this is only n fraction of that
which formerly existed in the air when
the world was young. The coal mines
of the world are estimates] as containing
five million millionsof tons, all of which
was primarily taken from the air by the
rank vegetation of primeval times.
Of course in those remote regions the
atmosphere containing say seven times
its present }>errentnge of carlKinic acid
was unfitted for the animal life now
flourishing on the globe. Bnt as the
carbon was withdrawn the oxygen was
proportionally increased and respiration
became gradually possible to animals of
higher and more complex organization
and requiring a more rapid oxygenation
of the blood. Hence as the atmosphere
changed by the growth of the coal form
ing vegetation, the organic creatures
progressed from the enrlieHt reptiles
that crawled in the hot and wide reach
ing everglades to the being that, crown
ing the strange, long series, was made
in the image of his Creator by whom
" into his nostrils was breathed the
breath of life."

The K. al Hob Whittle.
One of the most eccentric of all the
characters mixed tip in the M>HIOC vnr
in Bob Whittle, a Mnuwmrinn, who fol
lows the joint culling of fisherman ami
grazier on the banks of Klamath Lake.
H<*b is a regular specimen of an unsuc
cessful " forty-niner," and can lie down
and go to sleep with a good grace
wherever night overtakes him. He is
the soul of hospitality, however, and
never lets a man leave his house with
an empty diaphragm. Abotit eighteen
years ago, when other men were going
wild in the struggle for gold. Hob turned
his back upon the flourishing little city
of Yreka, and Irecame an Ishmaelite by
the borders of the great iuland sea.
Hero ho met a dnsky daughter of the
wilderness, and breathisl gushing ac
cents of undying affection into licr sun
burnt ear.
Bob is a social fellow, anfl has a de
rided tendency for " keerds. " He came
home with a new suit of clothes once,
niul his wife, wishing to upbraid him
for his extravagance of dress, asked :
" What voti par for dem clothes?"
" Four jacks,'' was tlio oracular an
swer.
One day a fellow came out from Jack
sonville to see him. The traveler's
wardrobe consisted of a deck of cards
and a fishing line. Boh treated him
kindly and bade him come into the
chateau and be sociable. Bo at it they
went to piny a champion match nt crib
bage, the best SKKt games out of 1,000,
for n dollar's wortli of tobacco. Weeks
rolled by, iu which they fished, hunted,
and played cards, but Bob cut no hny
nor reaped oats. His better half, be
coming very much discouraged, walked
into the room one day just in time to
hour him say: " Well, George, I think
I've got yon where the har's short—l've
got fifteen two, fifteen four—"
" Heep smart man," said the dusky
matron with n smile of ineffable dis
gust ; "heep smart man. All de time
talkee ' fifteen two, fifteen four.' Bimeby
Bob Whittle he got no lialo chemtick in
de house."
Frem that hour Boh experienced n
thorough reformation. Ho took tho
source of all liin misery—a big wooden
crib-hoard—and whittled a handle on
one end of it, HO that his youngest lx>v
could 11 HO it to paddle his little cherub
sinter, and he burned the deck of cards
beneath the smouldering embers on the
family hearthstone.

SißonnAß ItEsmvr FROM A SCRATCH. —
A very singulur result was produced by
a scratch from a wire in taking off a
" strike " in a brick-yard in Louisville.
Mr. Geo. Fults received a slight wound
in the left wrist from a wire, nnd since
that time has been growing continually
worse, notwithstanding medical aid,
until the entire left side had become
cold nnd inanimate as in death, while
the opiiosite side of the body is at fever
lieut. His friends are very much alarmed
for fear that the accident, if not of a
fatal nature, will at least causa the
paralysis of the affected side.

The Transportation (Juration.
linn IH mini I* Vlswxl Officially Iu
lb* Win.
In a letter from Gov. Carpenter, of
lowa, to Gov. Woodson, of Missouri,
we find the followiag extract:
"The enormous over-production of
the Mississippi Valley now seeking an
eastern outlet, but absolutely with held
from market, and the consumption of
imputation, clamoring for bread bceauae
of a lack of facilities for transportation,
ami the exorbitant charges of railway*
now in existence, cannot be regarded u
a financial stringency arising from the
wild speculation, or any of tlie ordinary
causes of business stagnation ; uor Is it
u portent of evil in the future. It is,
on thciHintrary, simply nu evidence that
the industry and enterprise of the ug -
| ricultural population of the West have
reached a point in advance of the trans
p.illation and manufacturing interests
of these Htates ; therefore, it is not
strange that the people of tho Miosis
sippi Valley clamor for increased foeili
tu-s with which to curry on profitable
exchanges with consumers upon whom
they art* dependent for a market. If
railroad* charge 87 1-5 cents a bushel
to move grain from Ht. Louis to the city
of New York in the mouth of January,
wheu there is no water communication
between those two markets except by
- way of the Gulf, (aud this 1 find to be
the average of w inter charges for the
last live years, | and if, as is claimed,
the same grain could be moved, wore
there a direct water communication
from the metropolis of Miutionotu to the
seaboard, for 10] cents a bushel, the
necessity for increased facilities of
transportation and cheaper carriage
titan the producer can uow obtain, is
enforced with jMiwerftil effect. And
when we consider that the present imp
utation of 10,1100,001), Uow oocii|(viug
the gram-growing portion of the Mis
sissippi basiu, will soon be increased
! by another 10,000,000, while the pro
yftisiou of marketable products will be
more than correspondingly increased,
as improved machinery iu the future,
as iu the past, will enable the agricul
turist to realize more return* from a
given amount of labor—the importance
of thi* question becomes of *uch sur
passing magnitude as to promise an
irrepressible agitation until finally and
wisely solved.
If, as I have alsive advanced, and is
believed bv practical uu*u, a btislu-l of
eoru can IK- carried from the Mississippi
ltiver to the Atlantic Ocean for less
than eleven ceuts, proper facilities for
transportation being provided, it serves
.to show that whatever improvement
may be made for the purposes of util
izing any water route at all practicable,
and whatever may lie done to establish
new railway lines and to protect the peo
ple from their consolidation when built,
will lie of vital benefit to the eutirc
country. And it is believed to be de
monstrable that the difference between a
reasonable price for trans is irting West
ern surplus product* and the present
charges of freight lines, for s single
rear, would go far toward the comple
tion of ail entire double-track railway
from the Mississippi to the Atlantic sea
board. The whole railway problem is
comparatively of recent origin, having
grown up within tire last half century.
A* a preliminary, therefore, to the dis
covery of a remedy for evils inseparable
from vast corjMirate enterprises, man
age,! solely iu the interest of individual
corjHirators, to which tho commercial
habits of every civilised teople have al
most entirely committed the carrying
bioim-its of the world, more specific and
general knowledge among the people of
the whole traii*|>ortation question is of
the first importance. Ami aconvent ion
of the character contemplated Would,
if no other result followed its action and
its discussions, enlarge the boundaries
o, public information upon the issues
involved in the question of harmonizing
the business of transportation the
interests of the people."

How it strikes the Danlmry .Vrir# man
ia appended: "You era generally look
ing at something very intently when it
hupjiena- {mrhaps you are smiling to
yourself: then your left foot shoots out
to one side with a suddenness that cre
ates a sickness in the family. Ice com
menses to form on your spine and per
spiration on your brow, and your scalp
lifts enough to permit a streak of cold
air to jMa# under. The other leg goes
out at this juncture, your head snap*
violently to the front, and there is a
faint impression on your mind that the
world is about to come to an end, with
nobody in charge. Miles of sidewalk

atory buildings jump over vuur head in
uniek succession; people disap]>car sud
denly and with appalling mystery; then
your eyes close, your consciousness
wanes, and your soul goes out with one
expiring quiver, and—and you arrive.
The hard reality of the scene is then
forced instil yon with unpleasant abrupt
ness. Everything is in its place but
your spine. You get up and move off
with a sickly attempt at a sinile, feeling
at the time that the back of your head

that the hardest thing is, not the side

Very Much Mistaken.
A few nights ago -a well-known busi
ness man *f Ottawa, Canada, indulged
ti>f liberally in the exhilarating Irevcr
age until a late hour. Almnt midnight
ho set out for home. Instead of going
to his own door he walked confidently
up to his neighbor's door anil pulled
the bell boldly. The inmates had re
tired to rest, and some time elapsed
before the door was opened ; the whis
kified individual became outrageous,
and began to act in a most violent man
ner. The door was opened, and, to his
horror, by a stranger. His wrath in
creased, and in less time than it takes
to write this he had hnrled him head
long out tinon the street. He then
locked the door and went np stairs, but
nothing seemed in its irrojrer place, and
he found progression almost iin)>oßsihle.
He finally lit a match, and a glance at
the surroundings convinced his mud
dled brain that he was not in his own
house. He got out, therefore, as soon
ns possible, and fortunately inst in time
to escape a thrashing from toe enraged
proprietor who had effected an entrance
by the back door.
A HAD TBAOKDT.— One of the saddest
tragedies on record is the Alders fratri
cide in Chi CP go. Several days ago two
voting men, brothers, quarreled, got to
hlows, and one of them, 111 tlio frenzy
of passion, stabbed the other with a
small knife, killing liim. No sooner
had he committed tne rash and murder
ous act than he was so completely over
whelmed by sorrow and anguish that it
is doubtful whether his reason will
withstand the tost ; and, to add still
further to the horror and sadness of
the event, the father of the young men,
while on the witness stand at the Cor
oner's inquest, suddenly became insane.
The family are Hollanders, and the
murderer, who wails and weopg con
tinually over the bloody deed to which
an ungovernable temper impelled him,
now lies in jail to await tlio action of
the Grand Jury.
A STRANGE DEFENCE.— Recently 810,-
000 were nwariled by an English jury as
damages to a maiden of twenty-six,
against a widower of forty-two, who had
failed to carry out a marriage contract.
His defence was that the promise was
conditional an the acquiescence of his
three eldest daughters, one of whom
was eighteen years old, four brothers
and sisters of his deceased wife, and his
ancient maiden aunt. The jury con
sidered that any man who could be so
foolish ns to look for the uunniwous
consent of nil of these parties, should
pay a round sura for a little wisdom.
BRRNTOO TAR-BARK. —An Italian en
gineer who has published at Milan a
book of tables and formulae for en

parts of tan-bark there is a residue of
1,000 partsof spent tan, which are equal
in heating power to 800 parts of wood
or 270 to 300 parts of coal. Spent tan

steam-engine consumed 28J pounds of

A Peraenerlng Expressman.
Sargent, the original expressman, is
having a hard tussle with a couple of
Massachusetts milruad*. Prior to
lHflfi the corporations had allowed all
cxprassmeu to carry goods over their
road at uniform rate, but In 1866 they
granted an exclusive privilege to others,
shutting him out, thus robbing him of
the "goodwill" of his bosinsas. He
then attempted in various ways to re
instate himself in his business. Hs
applied for s season ticket, intending to
use it in carrying a satchel express for
the banks, Ac., and though another
gentleman, other than the firm alluded
to, was allowed so to do, he was refused.
Then he tried single tickets, with which
be claimed the right to take a trunk of
ordinary weight. This wouldn't work.
Then he tried to have the successful
linn, who hsd obtained the monopoly
Uver the rosds, carry for him inst as
they did for the rast of the pnblie, but
they refused unless he would psy them
ful( rates on each separate parcel,
which would have left him no profit.
The defendant* tils s general denial,
and the rasa will go to the full bench
on questions of law. Sargent is follow
ing the matter up closely, and hope* to
win heavy damages.
Heavy Rank Defalcation.
The closing of the Atlantic National

. The trouble ia the old story of stock
speculation by the cashier and a defal

volved in this instance being fully half
a million. A curious feature of the
affair ia the deliberate conduct of the
cashier in disclosinghismisdeeds. With
a frankness which, under the circum
stances, would almost argue the loss of
the man's wits, be proceeded to the
Clearing House, of which the Rank waa
a member, and coolly requested aa in

the same time that he waa a defaulter
