Tha following Article delivered in
the Fanners' Clnb.by C. F. Raddata, on
tha cow-house, will be read with interest
by U who keep OOWA for profit or for
family use :
Strict attention should be paid to all
parts of the cow-house ; sound feed,
cleanliness in the stalls, punctual feed
ing likewise ; place the oow according
to their tamper, not two evil-disposed
animals together,—alao as the oie or
the other lores a warmer or a cooler
spot. The oow-honse should tie airy,
but not erpoaed to draft The strewing
of straw should lie attended to—the
more the better for the cows, particu
larly in winter, when cold. The stalls
mnat lc cleaned three times a week,
and the feeding Doors or troughs swept
twice a day. In fact everything in the
cow-house should be calculated to make
the animal feel comfortable in it. Per
fect cleanliness throughout the cow
house, to keep out the stench, should be
the rule, else the milk will sufiTer from
t, even during the milking. And here
1 would call attention to an unpardon
able neglect so often met with at cow
houses. I raeau the perfect disregard
of the valuable Manuring fluid which is
produced m cow-houses and from dung
hills, and which is so often left to run
int a ditch or creek near by, instead of
being caught in aono vat or vessel, and
used as a most valuable manure. Yet
every farmer kuors that without manure
warn land cannot lie cultivated. One
must have seen European farms, where
they eaflnot afford to waste anything, to
make this great ensir in some American
fsrtns right glaring. Currying rows as
an set of cleanliness I would recom
mend, and the daily washing of the
udder must be attended to byall means.
All this has considerable influence on
the health of the cow, as well as on the !
productiveness of milk. It now and
then happens that a cow, heretofore
good, anddeuly shows a decrease in her
milk. This never should lie a reason of
neglecting her. On the contrary, she
should have a very comfortable,' clean,
airy, but warm place, and the beat of
feed. She will soon recover, provided
an actual disease has not set in. In the
tending of calves in the eow-house,
special regard should be paid to those
which show the marks of future great
milk productiveness, and as snch are
in'-nded to be added to the stock of the
dairy farm.
F. 1). Curtis—The only fault with
this article is it does not go fare noogh.
Thv stables should be cleaned not only
once a week, but once a day, and then
the windows alionld be opened to let in
a little air and sunshine. In short,
a uian should treat his cow-stable just
as he would his bed-room. I go further;
I take pleasure in giving ruv cows a
good currying. Cows kept in "a stable,
- especially, need this treatment—it is as
necessary to them as washing is to s
human being. I have especially noticed
this treatment at Beacon Stock farm, on
my late visit there.
Dr. Wheeler—l thought iril fanners
r radioed this with all stall-fed animals.
am certain it is greatly to their benefit

—To a quart of milk mixed in by de
grees. to a pound of flour, add two eggs,
four large spoonfuls of beef suet, shred
fine, half a pound of enrrants, a tea
spoonful of grated ginger, and a
little salt. An hoar and a half
will bake it in a brisk oven. In the
season of fresh fruits, rail currants,
gooseberries, or plums may be used
instead of the dried currants.
LIP SALVE. —Take two ounces of
oil of sweet almonds, half an ounce
of white wax, and half an ounce of
rosewaier; set a mortar in a vessel
containing boiling water, and put
in the wax; cut into very small pieces
into the mortar. When the wax has
melted, take it ont of the mortar,
and add the oil by degrees, beating with
the pestle until it is cool; then mix the
rosewater with the mass. Ii it is de
sired to lie colored, rob up a little car
mine with the oil before mixing it with
the wax.
To CLEAN MERINO.—Orate two or
three large potatoes; add to them a
pint of cold water; let them stand
lor a short time, and poor off the
liquor clear, when it will be fit for use.
Lay the merino on a fiat surface, and
apple the liquid with a clean sponge,
till the dirt is completely extracted; dip
each piece into a pailful of clean water,
and hang it up to dry without wring
ing. Iron whilst damp, on the wrong
side. It will then appear almost equal
to new.
PARI/)* PTDDIXOS.—SIice a penny
loaf into a pan, put in with it half a
pound of butter, pour a pint of scald
ing hot milk upon it and let it stand
uncovered. When cool, work it fine
with a spoon, then add six ounces of
sugar, half a nutmeg, six eggs, well
beaten with a little salt, and half a
pound of currants, clean washed and
dried. Bake in cups, saucers, or in
patty pins, well buttered, f of an hour
Turn them out and serve them up with
white wine sauce.
Or* STARCH.—Pound two ounces of
fine white gumarabic to powder; pnt it
it into a jug, and pour on it a pint or more
of boiling water, according to the de
gree of tenacity required ; cover the
jog, and let it remain for the night.
On the following morning, poor the
liquid carefully from the dregs into a
clean bottle, cork it, and keep it for use.
A tablespoonful of this, stirred into a
pint of starch which has been made in
the nsual manner, will give to shirt
fronts, wristbrnds, collars, etc., a fine
gloss which not only enhances their ap
pearance, but tends to preserve them
for a longer period than ordinarily.
Poiata of Ibt Beat Svrtar.
The National Swine-breeders' Con
vention adopted a report of a committee,
defining as follows the standard of ex
cellence in swine as relates to the in
terests of both farmer and consnmer:
The hog must have a small, short
head, heavy jowl, and thick, short neck;
ear small, thin, and tolerably erect, but
it is not objectionable if it droops slight
ly forward. He must be straight on
the bottom, from the neck back to flank,
let well down to the knees in the bris
ket, and possess good length from head
to tail; back broad and slightly curved
or arched from the shoulder to the set
ting on of the tail; ribs rather barrelled -
shaped; tail small. The ham should
be long from the hock to the letting ofi
at the loin, and be broad and fall ;
shoulder not too large, and yet suffi
ciently to give symmetry to the animal;
hair smooth and evenly set on; skin
soft and elastic to the touch ; legs short
and small, well set under the body, and
the space between them wide; a good
depth between the bottom and top of
carcass. He must possess a good, quiet
disposition, and as a general rule should
not weigh more than 300 or 400 pounds
gross at twelve to eighteen months.
Color may be black or white, or a mix
ture of the two. Such a bog will
measure as many feet from the top of
the head to the setting on of the tail as
he does around the body, and as many
inches around the leg below the knee
as he does feet in leugth or around the
body, and the depth of the body will be i
four-fifths of the height.
Expelling Flies from Rooms.
It is stated that if two and a half
pounds of powdered laurel leaves are
macerated or boiled in two gallons of
water, until their poiaonous quality is
extracted, and with the solntion a white
wash is made, by adding as much quick
lime as can be slacked in it, and if a
room be whitewashed with this prepa
ration, fiies will not settle on the walls
for six months.
It is also asserted that if paste, made
by stirring together one pint of the
powdered Laurel leaves with a quarter '
pint of glycerine, be applied to windows
and door casings, a room so prepared
will soon be emptied of flies. Two ap
plications of this paste are said to be
enough to keep even a kitchen clear of
insects for a fortnight.
There is nothing disagreeable or dele
terious to hunuui beings in the odor of
the wash or paste, though laurel leaves,
or laurel water, taken into the stomach,
acts as a violent poison.

The North Pole Expedition.
Hflars or Pari of k Polar** Vi*w—
What the Survivor* lar-ltor) of a
Captain.
The following atateuiout wss fur
nished s correspondent by Cspk Tyson
of tho Polaris Expedition :
On the 24th of August, 1871, we left
Tesainsack and went through Smith's
Sound. We succeeded in getting as far
north as latitude 82 18, when we re
turned and wintered at Polaris Bay, lat
itude 81 88, longitude 81 44. We were
frosen up until the sth of September.
On the 10th of Octolier Gaptaia Hull
started on a sledge journey north, ami
returned on the 24th, whenne was taken
siek, and died on the Bth of November.
He was buried on the lltli. The attack
that earned him off was said to lie apo
plexy. We passed the winter at Polaris
Bay. On the Bth of June, 1872, we at
tempted to reach the north with two
boats. We hauled our other boat on
shore and returned overland on the Bth
of July. We started for home on the
12th of August, ami on the 15th were
In-set with ice in latitude 80 02. We
drifted from there down to latitude
77 85, when we encountered a heavy
southwest gale, the slop being under
heavy pressure. On the night of the
15th we comiucuced landing provisions, j
Ac., on the ice, the vessel being rejvort- '
ed leaking very badly at times. We con
tinut d lauding provisions for two or
three hours, w hen the presume ceased.
1 went on hoard the Vessel and asked
the sailing master if the vessel was mak
ing any more water than usual. He re- >
|n>rted that abe waa not, I theu went
to the pumps and ascertained that ahe
wa mot making any more than ahe waa
doing all auuimer.
1 weut on the ice again and ahortlv
after it began to crack, and in a few
minutea afterwards broke in many
pieces. The vessel broke from her fast
euiugw and was soon lost to aight iu the
darkueas and storm. On the broken
too were moat of onr provisions to sus
tain the party through the winter, and
seeing nothing of the vessel, we at
tempted to reach the shore, in hopes of
finding natives to assist us in living
through the winter. Getting about half
way to the shore with our heavily laden
Uials, ur progre-s became harvl" by the
drifiiug ice and I w as compelled to haul
ou the ice again.
At tliM tune I succeeded in uving
fourteeu cans af pemmican, eleveu and
a half bags of bread, leu dozen one and
two pound cans of meat and soup, four
teen hams, one small bag of chocolate,
weighing twentv pounds ; some musk
ox stuns, a few blankets, a number of
Titles and abundant ammunition. In
the morning, knowing that I had not
provisions enough and other articles of
food, clothing, eompaa.se*, Ac., ou the !
abatement of the gals I endeavored to
shoot as many seals as possible, both
for food, light and fuel, but could only
get three, owing to bad weather having
set in. I supposed the wind to be about
southwest. On its clearing up I found
myself within about eight miles of what
I supposed to be the east coast, and
ahont thirty or forty miles below the
ship. The ice being weak, 1 could not
transport boats and provisions to land
until it grew stronger. While here I
discovered my other boat, bread, Ac., !
and saved all. The lea grew firm. I
made another attempt to reach the
shore, carrying everything in the boats
and dragging them on their keel. The
ice being exceedingly rough we stoves*
both boats. We succeeded on the Ist
of November in getting abont half way
to shore. Night came on us and very
stormy weather. In the morning the
ice was broken and we were drifting
southward very fast. We saw no more
land for many days, bail weather con
tinuing all through the month of No
vember. We built snow houses and
made ourselves as comfortable as we
could. We were ten white men, two
Esquimaux, two women and five chil
dren in all. We succeeded in killing a
few seals, which furnished us with
light and fnel with which to warm onr
scanty allowance of food through the
darkness of the Arctic winter. In the
latter part of February we lived princi
pally upon birds, anJ ia March com
menced to catch seals. Through that
month we supported ourselves on bears'
and seals' flesh, wasting neither skin
nor entrails. We collected enough food
in this way to last us until the middle
of May, had we not been driven to sea
by a strong westerly gale in the latter
part of March, onr floe piece being then
reduced from five miles in circumfer
ence to about twenty yards in diameter.
We left the piece on the first of April, !
and abandoned nearly all of onr meat, j
a large amount of ammunition cloth
ing. skins and other articles, taking a
portion of the meat in the boat, which
we were obliged 10 throw overboard on
account of the boats being so deeply
laden. I regained the onter edge of
the pack of ice on the 3d of • April, and
succeeded in getting a little farther in
oft the Dock. On the 4th a heavy north- ,
east gale set in, a heavy sea running
under the ice, which broke it in small
pieces, so that we had to live on small
pans, as we could not put the boat out,
neither cottld we find seals for food, and
we were reduced almost t starvation.
On the 21st of April we sighted a
: polar bear. Every person was ordered
i to lie down and imitate the seal, while
. the two Esquimaux secreted themselves
behind a piece of ice, enticing the bear
near enough to us to kill him. A few
days after this we got our boat in the
water and worked our way west and
southwest, and continued to work every
opportunity to the westward, in hopes
; of reaching the Labrador coast and get
ting temporary relief. We were picked
np by tie steamship tigress, Captain
Harriett, on the 30th of April, in lati
tude 53 35 north, longitude 55 west, or
near Wolf Island, and about forty railea
from land. The Polaris is now without
boats, having lost two in trying to get
i North in the spring of 1872.
The Tigress fell in with the party in
a dense fog and providentially struck
the very floe on wiich they were, other
wise they mast have perished. They
all seem tolerably well. Captain Tyson
complained of swelled legs and feeti but
nothing serious is the matter with him.
When they left the Polaris all on board
were in good health.
In reference to the way in which the
Polaria got away from the party which
was rescued from off the iceberg, Cap
tain Tyson states that he felt little
anxiety at first, thinking she would soon
come to their relief. " I set my colors,"
he said, "as she steamed down along
the shore, bat the vessel was soon lost
to sight in the bend of the land, and
behind what I took to be Northumber
land Island. The piece of ice I was on
commenced drifting southward as the
wind hauled to the northeast, opening a
little bay to the northeast of Northum
berland Island. I saw the vessel in the
harbor thare; her sails were furled, no
smoke was issuing from her smokvstock
that I could see. I then attempted to
bring my boats across the floe in an
easterly direction, hoping to find water
and reach the shore. I succeeded in
dragging one boat across, took the water
and attempted to reach the shore some
distance below the vessel. We were
then drifting very fast, and the gale
was blowing fresh, with great violence,
from the northeast, and snowing very
fast and drifting. I was driven back on
the ice again and compelled ts haul my
boat out. Night closed on me and car
ried us to the southwest. In the morn
ing we we were abont thirty miles south
west of where the strip went in harbor.
A heavy sea was running, whioh broke
up my floe pieoe, separating us from six
bags of bread and one boat. I saw a
vessel under steam and canvas rounding
a point to the northwest. Thinking she
would come to our relief, I gave myself
no extra anxiety, but soon we were
doomed to disappointment, and from
that time until the rescue we never had
a glimpse of the Polaris.
The ease of the boy Fits, who killed
another in his sleep, at Candia, N. H.,
is puzzling the New Hampshire courts.
Tlss evidence leaves no doubt that lie
did it without the slightest conscious
ness of his act, ;nd yet he is not insane.
The difficulty seems to be new in juris
prudence. "the law makes no provision
for a plea of somnambulism, to estab
lish such a precedent is dangerous and
yet in this case the boy is believed by
many to be innocent of criminal intent.
"Love la Enough."
It ia profitable sometimes to lie senti
mental. Let us to-day remember that
it ia spring-time, however gloomy the
weather may be, and recount a simple
love-story.
Last summer a German Imp- and girl,
Henry and Susie, living iu Minnesota,
fell iu love with one another. Her
family, at first indifferent, early in tin
winter put themselves in opposition to
the match.
But Una Homeowas no drawing-room
lover. Desperately in earnest, lumaelf,
and ooufident of the fidelity of his
Juliet, he bravely weut te work to make
a home for her. He already owned a
quarter-section of land. I'aking his
axe he went to his "estate," ami ihere
cut down Uvea and hewed out logs
enough to mske a cabin, which he put
lip without help and furnished in a rude
but comfortable fashion. This doue he
saked Susie to come and le his wife.
She eousented. Unfortunately, the
young tuau hail uot yet set up his car
riage; sud since it was unt-ocoimng for
a bride logo on foot, a hand-sled, draw u
by the bridegroom, was pressed into
the service of the pair.
Thus they want forth in secreay to
their new home in the woodland/she
riding trimly on the sled, he tugging
bravely at the strap. It was eight miles
to the little cabin, but love made the
journey short. Then- the wedding wss
to take place, s clergyman having prom
ised ti> (>e in waiting to make them man
and wife.
Unfortunately the clergyman was not
there, and Susie was frightened and
a-diamed. She wanted to go home.
But Henry, grieved at her distrust and
yet secretly pleased with her modestv,
proposed tlist until a clergyman could
le fauud the cabin should be divided,
by a partition wall, into two eabimt, of
which oue should liclougto her and one
to him. To this she agn>ed, and the
young man weut eleven miles through
the snow after ttie board* for the wall,
draggiug them home on the sled which
had i ust carrieil a more lovely burden.
Wueu the pan-nta found their frauleiu
it was under these circumstances— she
keeping house by herself; he living like
s lachelor, and 1-canug himself in every
wav with s chivalrous courtesy worthy
of Vleury Esmond himself. T&e father
and brother, notwithstanding their
grief and anger, were touched by the
unconventioual honor and purity of the
young people, and wisely concluding
that the match was msile in heaven,
gave their heartiest assent to it.
The Late James Brooks.
Mr. James Brooks, editor of the AV
prrs* and Member f Congress, died in
Washington, in the presence of his
family, lie recognized those around
him to the very last moment. He had
long been in feeble health from the
effect of fever which he had contracted
abroad. The deceased was in his sixtv
third year. Mr. Brooks was born in
Portland, Me., November 10, 1810. At
eleven years of age he became a clerk
iu a drug store, and at sixteen became
a teacher. He graduated at Waterville
College at the ageof twenty-one, studied
law, turne<l editor, and became cele
brated as a traveler. His letters to the
Portland Advertiser, descriptive of
scenes and personal experiences during
a pedestrian tour of Europe, were ex
tensively copied. In 1835, he was elect
ed to the Legislature of Maine, and in
the following year he went to New York
and established the New York Daily Ex
with which his name has been so
iutimatelv associated.
In 184., Mr. Brooks was elected a
member of the New York Legislature,
and from 1849 to 1853 he was a repre
sentative in Congress from New York
city, serving on the Committee on Pub
lic Lands. He was elected to the Thir
tv-first. Thirty-second, Thirtv-eighth,
"thirty-ninth, (the seat in wfiich was
successfully contested by Mr. W. E.
Dodge), Fortieth, Forty-first, and Forty
second Congresses, and was re-elected
to the Forty-third Congress
He was a delegate to the Philadel
phia National I nion Convention in
1866, and in the succeeding year a dele
gate to the State Constitutional Conven
tion.
Mr. Brooks was in early life a Whig,
but of late years had been a Democrat
aail a Revenue Reformer. His last days
were embittered by the accusations
brought against him*in connection with
the Credit Mobilier. These he con
tested with spirit, and to the last he
hoped for the strength and opportunity
to make a statement to the public by
which his record would be cleared up.
Mr. Brooks was a recognized leader
in Congress, and was an effective de
bater.
The Piano.
A writer has taken the trouble to give
the actual material used iu constructing
a piano-forte. In every instrument
there are fifteen kinds of wood, namely,
Dine, maple, siirnoe, cherry, walnut,
whitewood, apple, basswood, and birch,
all of which are indigenous ; and ma
hogany, ebony, holly, cedar, beech, and'
rosewood, from Honduras, Ceylon, Eng
land, Bouth Amt rica, and Germany. In
this combination elasticity, strength,
pliability, toughness, resonance, light
ness, durability, and beauty are indi
vidual qnalities, and the general result
is voice. There are also used of the
metals, iron, steel, brass, white-metal,
and lead. There are in the same instru
ment of seven and a half octaves, when
completed, two hundred an>! fourteen
strings, making a total length of seven
hundred and eighty-seven feet of steel
wire, and five hundred feet of white
(covered) wire. The total nnmber of
strings, when properly stretched to pro
dnoe the right tone, exert a pull of over
ten tons ; this represents the force with
which one end of the piano is drawn
towards the other eud, and it explains
the reason why good pianos are bnilt so
strong and so heavy. Such a piano will
weigh from nine hundred to one thou
sand pounds, and will last, with con
stant use (not bnae) twenty to twenty
five years.
The Frankfort Riots.
From the details of the l>eer riots in
Frankfort-on-Uie-Main, which were re
ported to be confined to the question of
the price of beer, it appears that other
causes were at the root of the matter.
An unsettled feeling of diseontent seems
to beapringing up among the lower claa
ses in the Fatherland, and several of the
prominent cities hare already witnessed
excesses of a more or less serious na
ture. One of the agitators of the move
ment, in a speech to the populace abont
three weeks since, spoke of the two
great Jews, Lasalle and Christ, where
upon lie waa arrested by the authori
ties. The mob attempted to liberate
him, and having failed in this inarched
through the streets singing the "Mar
seillaise," and showing other signs of a
revolutionary spirit, the chief fend of
which was tlie demolition of the brew
eries, as recorded in our dispatches.
The worst of the whole affair is that in
nocent people had to suffer, as was the
case especially in the instance of a
woman walking with a child, who were
both killed by the troops. Germany,
we are inclined to think, is not just the
country to try Frenchy experiments in
—whether as regards revolutionary poli
tics, or the price of l>eer. And if any
demagogue got it into his head that
Frankfort could bo converted into a
Paris, a la Commune, the sharp point
of the Kaiser's boyonet must have dis
sipated it long ere HUH.
Down In the Sea.
At Gfo fathoms down in the sen there
is a perfectly uniform temperature, the
same in all latitudes. No oold pierces
this wonderful coverlet, no storm ever
disturbs the waters beneath. Here in
their hidden home, safe from the dis
turbances of this upypr life, are myriads
of creatures, livipg, mariring, (lying ;
warrffeg one upon the other; organiz
ing into kingdoms, republics, families ;
working in every foim of manufacture,
as spinners, weavers, architects, build
ers ; endowed with mysterious instincts
which are quite as wonderful in their
way as our higher reason, and bound
together by mysterious ties which wo
are equally unable to comprehend or to
call in question. Bo true is it that the
mysteries of science far outweigh those
of morals and theology.

Fashionable Religion.
Fashionable Christianity in London
is growing to be Tory smusing. People
sre now invited to prayer meeting* pre
cisely aa they are invited to a social
circle or an evening party. The New
castle Chronicle prints, with the excep
tion of names, dates, and place*. the
following transcript of a can}, which it
has received: "Mr. and Misa
propose (D. V.) to hold a Bible reading
on evening, at half-past seven
o clock, when the company of friends is
requested. Subject : Rev. 11. Read
ing from half-past seven to half-past
nine. Morning drees." Under such a
prescription se to costume, one can
faiutly imagine the consternatiou which
might ensue if a guest should arrive in
a business coat or an afternoon goWn.
It also suggests the possibility that
evening, and, perhaps, even fancy
dresses, may yet lie allowed at prayer
meetings. A writer in another reli
gious paper states that he recently got a
card of invitation, which, as far as the
body of it was concerned, might have
applied to a dance or a card party, but
in the corner were the characters " T
and P." After a long study he discov
ered that the cabalistic sign stood for
Tea and Prayer*. He went : and when
he found them handing Bibles round
oua tray, like refreshments, he left dis
gusted, without waiting for the Tea or
the Prayer*.
A brent Problem.
A calculation ha* been made by a
Western statistician that half a million
dollars' worth of property burns up every
day in the United State*, or &11M.000,-
tXI6 worth per annum. This is an ap
palling statement; for it must l>eborne
in mind that this is so tnnch taken from
the results of labor, and actually an
nihilated. The country is poorer by
just so much everv year. Of course, it
accumulates wealtli ninch faster Uiao it
loses it; yet think how much richer the
country would be if thes2iX),ooo,ooo,OtK)
worth of property, wiped out in ten
years past, was still in our possession.
It could pay off the national debt and
relieve us of the exaction* of the tax
gatherer. Is this matter not worth the
serious attention of everybody, then ?
Is it not one of the most important
Juration* of the day—what snail be
one to save us from the ravages of the
Are fiend ? In financial consequence,
does it not stand by the side of such
questions as free trade, railroad monop
oly and corruption ? It ought to be
legislated against just as fiercely and
determinedly. That it may be shorn of
much of its strength any one can con
vince himself by examining the causes
of fires. The two greatest causes are
the can-less use of petroleum oils and
incendiarism. Both can be put down
by the strong arm of the 3aw.
Length of Whale*.
Mr. Scoresby, a very high authority
on this subject, declares the common
whole seldom exceeds seventy feet in
length, snd is innrh more frequently
under sixty. Out of three hundred and
twenty-two whales, which he assisted
personally in capturing, not one. exceed
ed fifty-eight, and the largest of which
he knew the reported measurement to
be authentic came np to only sixty-seven
feet. Two specimens of the rorqual or
razor back whale have been observed of
one hundred and five feet in length.
One of these was found floating lifeless
in Davis Straits, and the skeleton of
the other was seen by Clarke in the Co
lumbia river, and must, tail and all,
when alive, have measured one hundred
and twenty feet. Other specimens have
measured a hundred, and many others
from eighty to ninety feet. One east
ou shore at North Berwick, Scotland,
and preserved by Dr. Knox, was eighty
three feet in length. These instances
seem to estshlish the average nud ex
treme length of these nuimals. But
with considerable credulity in earlier
accounts. Baron Cuvicr, the eminent
naturalist, savs stoutly, tliero is 00
doubt that wlinles have been seen at
certain epochs and in certain seas up
wards of three hundred feet long or one
hundred yards in length.
Foul Air Intoxication.
Vitiated atmosphere is quite as in
jurious and stupefying H tha worst of
nlooholic drinks. It spoil* every meal
and killasleep. It is tne greatest enemy
of the preacher, making people stupid
and drowsy. The judge and jury in a
court filled, as most are, with pestilen
tial air, are as much under the influence
of a deadly narcotic as the opium smok
er. The poor of our cities suffer most.
It ia well to preach tempcranoe to them,
hutisit not also of pre-eminent necessity
to procure for them pure air and health v
sunlight? When we consider the al
most universal fear of draughts which
pervades modern society, it seems that
nothing could be more timely than a
crusade against the carbonic acid in
toxication to which people are so given.
For the breathing of foul air is noth
ing but an intoxication accompanied by
all it* evil effects foolishly ascribed to
draughts.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided in a case taken to
that court in Georgia, that the Home
stead act is not retrospective. In other
words, it is not good against debts due
before the passage of the Homestead
act. This decision will cause consider
able distress among debtors in the
Southern and other States which adopt
ed retrospective exemption laws.
The Journalist of To-Day.
W list hr I* uid M tint hi Ikovld h.
I Everr age has it* interpreter, MM V
Louisville e<litor in an address before a
Proa* Association. There was the ago
of Uie drama ; tlicro was the age of the
pamphlet ; there was the ago of the
novel. This is the ago of the newspa
per. The journalist is to-day what but
a little while ago the novelist was ; what
a litlle while before that tha dramatist
was, the observed of all observers, for
he is an exceptional creature, a new cre
, ation, a man, indeed, like his fellow
' men, but possessed with strange, invis-
I ible powers, which affect men's lives,
fortune*, and characters ; not merely
an abstract and brief chronicle of the
time, as the player used to be aaid to
b ; something more than a myth or an
almanac. There will never be another
Dickens. The romauce of yesterday,
| with its moving incidents and real fig
, urea, will engage the interest of vigor
ous writers as they engage that of the
< public, and, aa fictitious situations and
oonditions are pretty well exhausted,
actual situations am! conditions, bril
liantly written out for newspapers, will
take the place of imaginary scenes and
passion*. As Cougreve and Hheridan
were, as Dickens and Thackeray were,
the journalist may Ire, and partly ia si
reaUy ; a man in whomapublic interest,
great or lea* according to hia genius, is
token ; a man who, loving bis fellow
men, ha* it in hia power to be loved by
them. The process ia verv simple. To
lie kindly, honest, fearJes*, capable,
that is all; and I name kindliness first,
liecause if a newspaper would lie popu
lar it must, like an individual, carry a
pleasant aspect; it must be snnable
and unpretentious; speaking the lan
guage and wearing the habiliments of
i the people ; bone of their bone andfiesh
of their flrsb, a sincere as well ss an ef
fective deliverer of their thoughts,
wishes, and fancies. If Bhakspcsre
j lived in our time, conceiving him to
j have been a robust, blithe, and hearty
person ; conceiving him to have been
what we understand by an able person
aud an able-bodied, and, withal, a moat
I gay and festive person, I take leave to
i doubt whether lie would find the drama
the boat vehicle for hia overflowing wis
dom, his exuberant wit, humor, and
fancy, his amazing activity ; and I won
der that a man of such varied and large
I resources, of such vigorous, current,
and racy faculties as Dion Bourioault,
should be comparatively a poor man,
wandering al>out the world and writing
Elays, when he might ix\ had he lient
iniaelf that way, the editor of the Lon
i don Timet.
Riding Habit*.
Among imported riding-habits, says
s fashion journal, those made in Lon
don arc preferred by equestriennes.
These English habits ore exceedingly
pbun this season, sad black habits arc
more decidedly favored than ever.
The bsaqne is n short jockev with pos
tilion pleats lrehiud, pressed flatly, and
held in place liv s lengthwise row of
small buttons. The front of tbe bssqne
ia short, RDd is often merely two soft
points. The edge of the bssqne is sim
ply bonad with twilled silk braid;
tbere nre nine fist buttons np the fmut,
and the high neck has a round turned
over collar of velvet. Th* cost sleeve*
are very tight, and have a button and
button-hole at the wrist to widen them
for the hand to pass through. Cuffs
and all fancy braiding are banished
fnun the most expensive London-made
habits. The skirt is not regularly
gored, but is shaped out from tha wide
cloth so that it has but one or two
SCAIDH. It is cut to bulge out on the
right side to mak* it fit smoothly over
the knee that is thrown over the pommel,
and this makes the right aide teu inches
longer tiian the left. It is not so scant
as has lieen the fashion lately, nor to
wide and loug as formerly, but ia a
a medium between these, measuring
four yards st its greatest width, while
the length is fifty-two inches in front
aud sixty-two l>ahiud. The front is
sewed to the belt without gathers, but
there are six pleats behind ; the placket
is on the left side, and very deeply
lapped, with a pocket underneath.
Seven yards of cloth at ffi a yard are
used for such habits. They coat wlien
completed 878. Lighter cloth at $3 a
yard ia preferred by some ladies for
summer wear. Glossy broadcloth and
tricot wear 1 letter than ladies' cloth,
which roughens by usage, nnd pets a
frfrred, nnppy surface. Furnishing
houses ask fnun 8-*>o to 8100 for stylish
habits. Tailors trim them with fine
camel's-hair braid, put on a la militaire,
in tiny waves and cnrls beside a band
of wider Hercules braid.
REPORTED RESTORATION TO LIFE.—
The New-Orleans Timet ia responsible
for the following statement: The most
eurions instance ot resuscitation re
corded in our Annals happened recently
on Prytania street, near Terpsichore. A
child of three years old died early in
the morning, and waa duly laid out for
interment; a competent physician cer
tified to the decease, and the friends of
the family assembled to solemnize the
funeral. Late in the afternoon, the
body having been coffined, and the fu
neral carriageH waiting at the door, a
thunder-storm arose. There were some
unusually violent reverberations during
the brief term of its prevalence. Bimul
tancoußly with one of the most deafen
ing of these claps, the child recovered
its Animation aud ronumed all the func
tions of existence. It is now perma
nently recovered. There is no doubt
of the facts in this case.
The Feet,
Of all parts of the body, tbere is not
one which ought to be so carefully at
tended to as the feet. Every person
knows from experieuoe that colds, and
many other diseases that proceed from the
same, are attributable to cold feet. The
feet are such a distance from the "wheel
at the cistern" of the svUtem, that the
circulation of the blood may be verv
easily checked in tliem. You see all
this,'and although every person of com
mon sense should be aware of the truth
of what we have stated, there ia no part
of the l>ody so much trifled with aa the
feet. Tlie young and would-be genteel
footed, cramp their feet into thin soled,
bone-pinching boots, in order to display
neat feet, in the faahionable sense of
the term. Now this is vrv wrong. In
cold weather, boots of good thick leath
er, both in souls and uppers, and large
enough to give free circulation of the
blood in the feet, should be worn by
all. They should water-tight but
not air-tight; it injures the feet to
wear air-tight covering over them. In
dia-rubber shoes or boot* should not be
worn except in wet and slushy weather,
and then taken off an aonn as the ex
pesure ia over. No part of the body
should be allowed to have a covering
which entirely obstruct* the passage of
the carbonic acid gas fronvdhe pores of
the akin outWrard, and the moderate
?aa*agc of the air inward to the akin,
here ia one great evil against which
every person should t>e on their guard,
and it ia one which ia seldom guarded.
We mean the changing of warn for
cold boots or shoes. A change ia often
made from thick to thin-soled shoes,
without reflecting upon the conae-
3 unices which might ensue. It i* a
augerou* practice, and many an indi
vidual has suffered lionr* of illness be
cause of it.
A Narrow Escape.
The Earl and Conn tea* of Coventry
attended 'he meet of the North-Oot*-
wold hounds at Eimlev Castls on the
3d of April. The bounds were going at
a tremendous pace, and had absolutely
coursed the fox for about two miles.
The Earl was close up, and his wife fol
lowing. Ou riding st s rapid gallop up
to a fence, his lordship was horrified to
olwerve that beyond the fence lay an
old quarry, fifteen feet deep. It was
too late to divert the horae, and both
the horae and hia rider fell into the
quarry. The horae then broke away,
leaving the Earl in the quarry. It is
supposed that the Countess observed
the horse rnuning swsy without the
Esrl, and for Uiat reason she made for
the same fence, cleared it, and met
with a similar accident, with, liosreTer,
i a less favorable result, for while the
gentleman was but s little shaken, it
was st find thought the Countess was
killed. Her horse was found to have
broken his haek, and was shot shortly
afterward. Beyond a slight concussion
of the brain, and some severe bruise*
about her head and face, the Countess
is none the worse for the accident.
Lightning struck a school-house filled
with children, in Laurenceville, Cl*.,
killing one little girl and badly injur
ing ten other*. On the arm of one of
the pupils an oak leaf was pictured with
remarkable minuteness.

Apert from the uuiueroua prospecting

Navigation having recently opened, and
buaineee becoming active,"the workmen

bv Uto Jnteircolontal < W Company of
Montreal, was, in oojiasqususe, cloned
up for sotne davs. Tbs dilMealtv was
arranged and the men went to work

including men and boya. Hoon after
the first explosion cries were heard at

immediately lowered with rupee, and
four of those below brought up.
Two men were going down the afr

blown to pieeea. All the men in the
