The vessels leaving New lark and fitted with the refrigerators for worrying fresh meat include fire steamers id the Williams & Onion line, with an aggre gate measurement used for ice, "ma chinery and meat of 4,080 tons; six steamers of the National line, with 1,585 tons ; five steamer* of the White Star line, withJi,s33 tons; four steamers of the liirnan Khe, using 1,874 tons ; two of the Anchor line, with 340 tons; two of the Cunarders, with 320 tons, and one of the State liue, with about 170 tons. . Since April last, owing mainly to the advanced coat of cattle here, but partly to the lack of adequate cold storage and facilities for a prompt distribution and sale of the beef on arrival in foreign ports, especially at Liverpool, shipments of fresh beef hare materially decreased while the exports of live cattle have correspondingly increased. In some cases the refrigerator boxes have been taken out of the steamers, but the great er part of such as have not been used for fresh meat have been filled with but ter, cheese, etc. The exportation of live cattle for British markets was begun from this city bv the Samuels Brothers in 1874, who sent over twenty-six hit prime bul locks in their first shipment and lost twenty of them on the voyuge. Other shipments followed with better success, and very recently they sent in one week upwards of 200 fine cattle from New York and more than 300 from Montreal. Mr. Eastman has sent over a few live cattle, Mr. Bushman about 500, Fleishaur A Edelmuth several hundred and a num ber of cargoes have been sent from Phil adelphia, Boston and Montreal. Up to April 1 last the shipments from New York amounted to 8,365 head; from Philadelphia, 1,029 ; from Boston, 849. Since April the business bas been in creasing weekly, anil exporters are con fident and hopeful of fair profits and assured success for the future. i.lasa aad its Phenomena. The elasticity of glass exceeds that of almost all other bodies. If two glass balls are made to strike each other at a given force, tlie recoil, by virtue of their elasticity, will be nearly* equal to their original impetus- Connected with its brittlenes* are some very singular tacts. Take a hollow sphere, with a hole, and atop the hole with the finger, so as to prevent tk* external and internal air from communicating, and the sphere will fly to pieces by the mere heat at the hand. Vessel* made of glass, that have been suddenly cooled, possess the curious property of being able to resist hard blows given to them from without, but will be instantly shiveml by a small particle of flint dropped into their cavi ties. .This property soems to depend upon the comparative thickness of the bottom ; the thicker the bottom is, the more certain of breakage by this ex periment Soma of these vessels, it is stated, have resisted the stroke of a mal let given with sufficient force to drive a nail into wood ; and heavy bodies, each as musket balls, pieces of iron, bits of wood, jfwpei-, stone, etc., have been cast into them from a height of two or three feet without any effect, yet a fragment of flint not larger than a pea dropped from three inches high, has made them fly. The Latest Tiling* is Fan*. There is very little difference in fans; the latest are straight sticks, iustead of curved. In lace fans, the new est combine* lace exquisitely fine point ings on silk ganze; the pattern of the lace made with, p view to answer as a framework for the picture* There are generally one. large one in the center, and a smaller in the left-hand corner. One in rucoo style was seen with wrought pearl sticks. The fan itself was kid, beautifully painted. This came a* high as S2OO. Sticks of ofl pearl are con sidered quite commc if faut for lace fans tliis year. For ladies in lighter mourn ing, smoked pearl sticks, covered with black lace, except in the center and left side, which contain exquisite paintings on bbick ganze, are all the rage. Albert, the celebrated French fan painter, now puts his name in the lower right or left hand comer of the painting, in imitation of his brother artists on a large scale; of course the penchant for everything a la Japanese finds a ready outlet in fans; the expensive one* in ivory with raised gold or silver lacqner work, are more at tractive as an object of beanty, though for their usefulness being rather heavy. The tortoise shells in the same styles are very handsome, but expensive—none leas than sloo.— lxmdon Truth. Apples. With us the iiße of the apple, a an article of food, is far underrated. Be sides containing a large amount of sugar, mucilage and other nutritive matter, apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic qualities, etc., which act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics and antiseptics, and when freely used at the season of mellow ripeness" they pre vent debility,, indigestion, and avert, without doubt, many of the " ills that flesh is heir * U." The operatives of Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and far more so than potatoes. In the year 1801 —which was a year of much scarcity— apples, instead of being converted into cider, ware sold to the poor, and the laborers asserted that they could " stand their work",on baked apples without meat; whereas a potato diet required either meat or some other substantial nutriment.. The yrencb and Germans use apples extensively; So do the inhabi tants of all European nations. The laborers depend upon them as an article of food, and frequently make a dinner of slioed apples and bread. There is no fruit oooked in as many different ways in our country as apples, nor is there any fruit whoae value, as an article of nutriment, ia as great and ao little ap preciated.-- IfttCw Ors Jbumv',-.

Perhaps *u hundred incident* might be relate! a* atnking and well coutwivol an the fol lowing : An officer of the French auy. having incurred tlie suspicion or raaeutment of the emperor, thought it ex|ediiuit to abandon hia country ami take refuge in one of the Austrian province*, and here he became adviaed of and initiated into a society, the object of wtioee formation was U hurl U the ground the 0- >lo**u* wh •aw*.arm amute and gorwuwi the whole continent of Europe w itli a adapter of mm. One ii*y a letter waa brought to him cou tailing tlie uaual aigna and paasworda of the society, and requiring liiui to re pair on the following night to a secluded spot iit a forest, where he would meet acme of hi* aw*iri*t*. lie went, but found nobody. The order* were repeat ed four time*, at interval* of a few day*, and Mr time* tlie sought the *p poiuted place, witli no lietter aucceaa than at first. On the Uftli night of hi* appearance *t the ratxleirona, after waiting some time, he wa* nu the point of returning, when loud one* suddenly arrested his atten tion. Drawing hi* sword, he hastened to the spot whence they seemed to pro ceed. and wa* flwd upon by three wen, who, oeeiug that he waa uuwouuded, in stantly took to flight; but at his feet lay a bleeding corpse, in which, by the feeble light of the moon, he iu vain sought for tokens of animation. Ue wa* vet l>euding over the dead uian, when a detachment of chasseurs, summoned, apparently, by the uowe of the pistols that had been discharged at himself, came suddenly up, and arrested hiiu aa the assassin. He was loaded with chain*, tried the next dqy, and iMndemiicil to die for Ilia *npos<\l crime. His execution waa owned to t*k place at nudnigbt. Surrounded by the ministers of jus tice, he was led, at * alow pace, by the light of torches, and amid the fun oral tolling of bells, to a vast square, in tlie center iff which wa* a scaffold, environed by horsemen; beyond these was a numerous group of spectator*, who mut tered impatiently, and, at intervals, sent forth a cry of abhorrence. The victim mounted the scaffold, las sentence was read, and the last aot of the tragedy was on the point of fulfillment, when an officer let fall a word of hope. An eiUct had just been promulgated by the government, offering |au\lon and life to any condemned criminal who should disclose the members and secret tokens of a particular association, the existence of which was suspeeted; it waa that of which the Frenchman to whom these words were addressed hail lately become a member. He waa questioned, bnt denied all knowledge; they urged him to confess, with promises of ad ditional reward—his only reply was a demand of immediate death—and his in itiation was completed. All that hail passed wa* bat a terrible trial of his fidelity; those who surrounded him were members of the society, and every in cident that has been described, from the time of tlie first summons to the last fearful moment of expected death, was only a step in the progress of the fearful experiment by which they sought to determine the trustworthiness of ihe neophyte. Matrimonial Advice. Marry in vonr own religion. Never both be angry at once. Never taant with a past mistake. Let a kiss be the prelnde of a rebuke. Never allow a request to be repeated. Let self-abnegation be the habit of both. A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing. " I forgot," is never au acceptable ei- I cuae. If you must criticize, let it be dune lovingly. Make a marriage a matter of moral judgment. Marry into a family which you have long known. Never make a remark at the expense ; of tlie other. Never talk at one auother, either aloue cx in company. Give your warmest sympathies for | each other's trials. If one is angry, let the other part tlie lips only for a kiss. Neglect the whole world beside, rather 1 than one another. Never speak lond to one another un less the house is on fire. Let each strive to yield oftenest to the wishes of the other. Always laatahoUie with loving words, for they may be the last Marry into different blood and tem perament from your own. Never deceive, for the heart, once mis led, can never trust wholly again. It is tlie mother who moulds the character and fixes the destiny uf the child. Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain a fault has been committed. Do not herald Hie sacrifices yon make to each other's tastes, habits, or prefer- Let all your mutual accommodations be spontaneous, whole-souled, and free as air. The very felicity is in the mutual cul tivation of usefulness. Consult one another in all that come* within the experience, observation, or sphere of the other. A hesitating or grum yielding to the wishes of the otlier always grates upon a loving heart. Never reflect on a past actigp which wa* done with a good motive, and with , the best judgment at tlie time. The beautiful in heart is s million times of more avail, as securing domestic happiness, than the lieantifnl in person. They who marry for physical charac teristics or external considerations will fail of happiness. Indian Prince* and Rubies. Tlie Indian princes and nobles are greedy of diamonds beyond all people, and there is bat one country in the world in which any product at iiatnre is held more precious than this wonderful combustible gem, whose nature indeed we know, but whose genesis is still a moot question for science. That country is Bormah, the land of the white ele phant, where the finest rubies sheltered in earth's breast are found, and arc rated far above diamonds. As the King of Hiain prizes liis cat*, so tlie King of Bur mail prizes the rubies of his country, jealonsly prohibiting the export of them, so that the beautiful aluminous stones— which do but glow with a clearer and richer calor when they are exposed to fire in which the diamond would be con sumed and disappear—can only la? pro- I cured by stealth or favor by private indi viduals. No European has ever heen permitted to see the king's wonderful ruby, " the size of a pigeon's egg and of extraordinary quality and the sale of I the two magnificent rubies which were brought to England in 1875—the finest ever Known in Europe—caused such ex citement, that a military guard had to escort the persons conveying the package |to the ship. Five days' journey south east of Ava lies the home of the blood red gems, the jealous earth in which the people believe that they ripen, beooming from their original colorlessness, yellow, green, blue, and, last of all, the match less ruby red. Next to these rank the rubies which are found in the Tartar wilds of Badakshan, and which the people there believe are always found in pairs. When one of the seekers ha* dis covered one he will frequently hide it until its mate is found- There is no absurdity in approving as well as condemning the same individual; for as few people are always in the right, so on the other hand it is improba ble they should be always in the wrong, YES!

He returned to New York and began to load for Java, bat *ng " Her her *weet anule haunt* me still," and whistled "The girl 1 left behiud me," Would she marry lum and jo> on that long and lonely voyage to the East ? He wrote to her, and proposed that she meet him in Boston tlie next week, marry him, and sail for Java, lit* l*at was on the shore and hi* bark was oti the sea, or loading at the wharf, and *he must decide at once.

Pralri* Reg*. Fender* of prairie dogs are oceaaiou allv encountered ou tlie Cuiou Pacific railroad, say* a writer iu hYank Leslie's illustrated' \etcsp<iper,witli their bviug prey carefully boxed up. Aud these quaint little animals deserve more than a passing notice. Their little villages are seen on every side for many mile* after leaving Sydney, and are never failing Bonrcee uf luterest to traveler*. The annuals are always fal, and are [ about sixteen inches long, and of a gray iah-red color. The Indiana eat them, professing to iefer them to squirrel*. They live underground iu exteusive coin, inanities, iu alnutiug burrows, termi nating, aiter a descent of six or eight feet, in wide chamber*. These latter they sagaciously excavate at a little higher point than the bottom of the pas sages, whereby their larger apartments, which tliev sometimes share with rattle snakes and owls, are Dot subject to be overflowed bv rain-storm*. The little fellow* squat like rabbits on their plump haunches at the entrance* to their bur rows, peeling inquisitively about them in every direction. At the approach of an intruder they give a quick, sharp velp, not loud enough to be called a bark, and disappear headforemost into the earth. But their curiosity is more powerful than their timidity, and in a short tune their little noses are seen emerging from the holes as they peep cautiously out to discover tlie source of their alarm. They are somewhat diffi cult to ahoot, as "they are as rapid as swallows in their movements, and for the same reason it is not always easy to capture them alive. Mr. Leslie bought a couple of the little fellows on the homeward trip. The boy who offered them for sale hail secured them in a box ; with three thin slats of wood, aud it was not loug before they set rigomoalv to work to gnaw their wav out with their sharp teeth. A hamlful of pass waa given them, which they ate with avidity, and ao loug as they were plentifully fed there was no further effort on their part to work their wav into liberty: They ate grass ravenously, showing an especud predilection for ciover. Tnev kept in goes! condition until they reached Sam toga. where their history suddenly and unhappily en-Jed. The box containing . them was deposited temporarily on the ; sward, near Mr. Leslie's summer resi dence, until a servaut couhl take theni in charge, hut when he arrived they had disappeared from the cage. The HttJe creatures doubtless enjoyed so greatly the smell of tlie fresh nod and tlie glimpse of freedom from which they oad so long boen debarred, that they attacked the imprisoning slats with dstarmina tion, anil gnawed their way to liberty. One Fortn of Rudeness. A flagrant breach of politeness, and one which is most annoying to refine. 1 and sensitive people, is uia very general practice of one's conversation. The im punity with which this is done lis* de graded rati, uial conversation, which ought ' to be the greatest charm of social inter course, into a proving farce. A man or woman who has anything to say that is worth saving, desires to say it in hia or her own "way ; and those who have brains to appreciate it, will be equally deaimus of hearing it without interruption. Yet it is a common thing for a parlor conver sation to partake more of the babble of < Babel,thau a conversation among rational i beings, who are supposed to know aud appreciate what each othee save. One begins to relate an incident, and before i he has finished two sentences, some parrot : in fine clothes chime* in with her nen*e less gabble, hreakiug the thread of ilia course, and compelling the narrator -to i>cgm again, or abandon the attempt to instruct or entertain. This is tlie gro*> st impoliteness ; it is nsjcomnioii an occurrence n* conversation itself. It ia not much to say, that nine out of every ten people who indulge iu this habit are incapable of carrying on a rational conversation on any useful topic, and indulge in these breaches of etiquette byway of covering their retreat and hnling their ignorance. We suggeat to voting people —and old ones, too, for that matter—that here is a promising field for social reform. Never interrupt a conversation by interjecting remarks, however appropriate and witty they may seem. All sensible people will reapees you, ami conclude that yon have good sense, aud know how to use it to the I test advantage. A Petrified Rosebud. The Portland Oret/rmlan, contains this story ; Judge E. 0. Bronaugh has attached*to hia watch chain a little amu let or charm, which, aaide from its peculiar history, ia very pretty in itself. It is nothing more or lea* than a petri fied rosebud. During the war, a yonng nephew of Judge Bronaugh, while in one of the Southern States, wrote home to hi* mother aud inclosed in the letter a rosebud. Tlie letter arrived safely at it* destination, anil, after having been perused, was laid aside with the rosebud in a drawer, where it remained for eight or nine months. When the drawer wa* over hauled and the letter again brought to light, the rosebud it oontained wa* dis covered to be petrified. The judge's aunt recently sent the stone to him at this place, and he placed it in the hands of a jeweler for the purpose of having it fitted to carry on his watch chain. The petrification is so very hard that while trying to drill a hole in it two or three tools were broken before the object was accomplished. It is a perfect rosebud, and so well preserved that the finest fibres are to be seen. What peculiarities of air, earth, or water could have changed the tender rosebud into a hard, almost diamond-like substance in the short space of nine months is a mystery. The most trivial circumstances are able to pnt an end to our gratifications ; they are like beds of roses, where it is very unlikely all the leaves should be smooth, and even one that is doubled sufflocs to make us wwomfortable, VOLUNTARY EXILES. The .Kransaltra Is IHssUshs.-llelslls si Their 14ft. 'llie Menuotiite reservation east of the Red river, ami aUnit twenty-five miles southeast of Wiunepeg, is now as well p.ipulule,l as any district of the province of Manitoba, and the most recent immi gration has been directed to a reservation of seventeen townships adjotuiug the frontier, and extending west of Red river ht l'etubina moiiiitaiii. The settlement on the reservation first lueiitioiiiHl, ealled (Ist River, consists of six hundred ami ttfty familiex, and u the aocoiul rtwrv* tioii, culled Dufferin, four humired ami tlftv families lisve lieen planted. In ad dition, thirty-three families have beeu settled near Scratching river, Slid tile re *eut arrival of thirty-five families will go to Ihifferiu. Estimating five to a family, the Meu nouite settlements of Manitoba *outaiu a |sipillation of S,HtUV, which will doubt less increase steadily, but by lio meana with the volume of the past three years. The Mennoiiites who still remain <n southern Russia, though luoliued to im migrate, iu consequence of the termina tion of the stipulation exempting them from military service, are not prepared to sacrifice their possession*. Wlieu they cn sell witliout disadvantage they immi grate. The exodus is thereby likely to lie gradual, especially aa the Ruaaiun government, while lusistuig on tlie right of couacrtptiou, assents readily to sjiecial assigtitneuls of servii*e in deference to the Menu mute oon science—such as trans portation, forestry and hospital service— very much as the Quaker* of tlie United State* duriug l <> late civil war were sub jected t*> military service, but relieved from beanug arms. The immigrating class of Lutheran Quakers, known as Menuonites, are ueither rich nor p**or, but are au inter mediate body, who are, however, by no meana destitute. Mr. Hes|>er estimates that the sum brought into the province by the Meunouite immigration ia fOOU,- 000, and the recent arrival of tlurty-flve families have not less than $ 10,000. There are Meunouite settlements in tlie Western States, but the laud system there iuforeed does uot admit of s|eci*l reservations, and Manitoba has thus been enabled to present great induce ments for this class of settlers. Here tlie commuuity can organise itself fully according to its tradiUous, including the rural village life of the doif—or dorp, as we believe the word is Auglicixed—a cus tom which lias great merit, socially and industrially, and will warrant aotnc full ness of detail. A group of families—usually sixteen in number— take their homestead* sep arately, but proceed to throw them to gether, selecting the most desirable situation for a village or dorf, through which a at reel two chains wide ia laid, and a plot divided into half-acre lota, with assignments for church, school, or oilier public use. A tract most suitable for tillage i then selected in a block, which is inclosed, and within which each head of a family cultivates that portiou of hia allotmeut —for there ia no com munism—that he finds nvenieit. A hay meadow, held also in severalty, ia chosen, and the remainder of the con solidated homestead is used as a range (or cattle and other animals, which are invariaidv attended by a herdsman, who ia paid \iy the dorf. The village lots ami other subdivisions are distribu ted by lot. The houses —only found in the dorf— are comfortable, heated by central brick ovens, warming three or four rooms. The aauie roof usually extends over separate lodgings for cattle, although in tli is respect there is a growing tendency to have different tenements. Each family has a yoke of oxen, two cows, and in definite poultry. The pig is not wanting; and there are five hundred sheep, and one hundred and fifty hufwee on the Bat river reservation. The municipal government is a simple Democracy. The heads of families an n uallv select a mayor or reeve, who ia the ckief executive officer, constantly conferring with his constituents. Over the whole community is a president or elder, elected for five years, and who, associated with the mayors of the dorf, form a oouit for the final adjustment of all dispute* and the enactment of all neoeasary ordinance*. The president may set in all matters relating to a sep arate village in concurrence with the mayor thereof. The church organisation ia dis tinct from the civil admuiistrwtum. Tin people elect a clergyman in ewch dorf, and a bishop to preside over the whole oommunitv for pen oils of five yearn. Thev receive no stipends. The teachers of tLc schools, one held in each village, are choaeu by the people, but are paid a moderate compensation. Marriage* are free—no allotments as formerly among the Moravians—and usually oootracUsl early, the parties often remaining with the mort prosperous of the parents for a year or two. An admirable system of mutual in surance against fire prevails under a txiard oi directors elected by the whole community. The insured are not re stricted in amount, but contribute pro rata in case of any loan. Mosquitoes. A New York benefector to the human specie# stops to the front with A plan to prevent the great unnecessary accumula tion of mosquitoes in thia country. Many gixxi and wise people haTe net up half a night tiring to find out by deep thought and rapid strokes what raosquitoea were originally constrncteil for, and yet those individual* were forced to give up their search for knowledge and fall into a fit ful sleep towards morning and dream that they were the Btato of Pennsylvania, with all the oil men in the United Btat*-* boring for petroleum. No man ha# ever been known to speak a good word for ' this insect; its mnsical hum is unappre ciated, and even its frailty of build is no i protection frojn the rude touch of hu manity. Mankind never seem# to realize that the mosquito is a slim and delicate creature. Let one of tin me fragile driller# trespass but a moment oil a per son and the individual will instantly deal him a tremendous blow with all the force and energy at his oommaud. Of course the mosquito, witli tluit retiring boshfnl uess which is characteristic of it, gener ally Hte]>a lightly to one nidn and settles down on a fresh place, th is preventing many casualties to itself, which other wise might lie fatal, but the mere fact Uiat a man will expend so much unneces sary energy in the contemplated de struction ot the mosquito shows Uiat he greatly overestimates Uto strength of build and the physical powers of the insect All Uiis loss of power will lie prevented by the New York man's plan, which ia to ponr a small quanUty of crnde petroleum on the stagnant pools where the insect is born and wriggles to maturity. The thinnest film of potro- | ieum, it is stated, will prevent the wrig glers from changing to bloodsuckers, and will discourage the female from laying fresh eggs on snch waters. Imitation Money. A Washington despatch saya : Many complaint* liave reached the Treasury department that merchant* and business men in various part* of the country have been in the habit of printing biuu neiw carda bearing such a close resem blance to the United States and national hank issues that many people have been deceived thereby and quantities of it passed as good money bv parties who nave gatherer! a nnmber of these cards. Home of the samples received at the Hecret Service Division here are of a character to deceive even observant persons, while they l>car upon their face the fact that they are not really genuine. These issues are all in viola tion of law. Section 5,430 of the re vis- j e<l statutes forbids the engraving or printing of anything in the impression or the likeness of nny United States obligation or other seenrity, or any part thereof, except under the, authorityof the secretary of the treasury. The penalty is a heavy fine and imprison ment. Many indictments have been found against persons on this account, and the department now intends to prosecute to the full extent further ! offenses of this character as a matter of protection to the community j the poor and more ignorant members of wuich are vary thoroughly Imposed upon.

Tin* man in brown overall* who ooeu liitvl the other end of tin* lan tilted hie tat a little further forward over hie eye# and looked a little higher up at Union hall, and aouiuted aa much with hia month and chin an he ditl Willi hia <*yee. The man with the etraw hat who waa sitting iu the diairway, whittling a match, shaved carefully at the sulphur end, au>l then rewarded hi* work very intently, aa though there waa aorne error iu effect that didn't exactly WW* ut> to hin ideal. The man in the cheviot sliirt, who waa }>ercbed <>u the area ratliUKa, eartieatly eugtiged in measuring **ne had with the other, t*ent hia head atill tower over hia tank for a moment and then lookitiK up, with the air of a man who ha<l ma<ie up hia luiud tliat they were twiua and there wan no uae worry m# over it or denying it, naid : " Well, 1 reckon them Turk* haa kiud o' got the atari o' the Itooxhuua, dowu tliere at Fcleveliuy." A long ailenoe followed, during which the man with the atrww hat had got oue aide of the aulphur end of the match trimmed down and polinhed to auit the moat faatidrou* taatc, and the thin man got uearlv all the new rnal off the nail head ami would probably liave llniabed hia taak bad not the tooth-pick broken, and the man in brown overall* gut but face tainted up into audi a fearful and wonderful aqmnt that mux of the guidy vouug clerk* over in the insurance offices began to laugh at him. Finally the tlnu man rallied from the tit of profound despondency into which the lireakiug of the toothpick had thrown him, and aaid : " Yea, but the affair at Flouuavy didn't settle the war. There's old Kru dener comin' up witli a lot of Ron man - yuna yet." "Yea," aaid the man in brown overall*, who looked dowu for a moment to rest bis face, "but look at the way they're doin* in Burglarry. Plevanny ain't notliiu'." There was ao much aujofeeUon af an intimate MeottTajihical knowledge uf the seat of war, ami us wide acquaintance with oriental politics iu thia remark that no oue knew juet what to say, nor which aide to take, but it appeared to be tbe general unpruuuiou that tlie man in brown overalls waa a Ruaaiun eyinpa tliixer. The thin man shot the pierea of hia tooth-pick at. a vagrant fly, and looked idlv amund lam lika a uiau in ararrh of a job, willing to take hold of anvtlang that might turn tip. Hia eyre fell longingly upon tbe luatrb, which was gradually approaching a state uf ptwfection, and the man with a match catching a glance, felt called up to aay something. He said with some haste, ami apparently without due preparation. " I reckon the Fraahina 'll lip in if the Roahina git licked again." The man with tlie twin feet checked himaelf in the act of renewing hia anxious and juunstaking measurement, and after waiting for any other remarks, aaid : " PriKialiy wan't no friend of Rcswdiy." This waa audi a direct contradiction of tlie match man's statement, that every body looked up, except tlie uan in hrovru overall, who was again wrinkling hia face at the cornice <>n Union hall, aud had to look dowu. The diactuwion threatened to become interesting and exntiug. After a long pause, during which all the members uf the cunveutiou appeared to be thinking up fresh argu ments, the thin man, who waa medi tatively rubbing hui chin with the back uf hia band, aaid : "I b'lieve I'll go git shaved." lie gut off the box and walked slowly away, dusting but coat with hia hands as he went. The other delegate* watch ed hia retreating figure until he turned the corner. Then the man on the rail ing placed the heels of hia two feet to gether and began the moat careful meas urement of hia series, while the anxious expression on bis face told how fearful he was lest one foot should come out about three inches larger than the other. The man with the match having got four sides dressed down to suit him, began system of decorative matches along the edges. The man with the brown over alls tilted hia hat clear down over hia n<ise and looked right up at the top o! Union hall until hia face was so covered witli wrinkles thst yon couldn't tell where the month envied or the eyes be gan. The man who had to go and get shared, went around the corner and sat down on a pair of skids and staid there until sunaet, rubbing hia chin and think ing ahont the war.

My friend re ceived him, but not recognizing him a* an acquaintance, ventured to say she had failed to catch his name. Looking round the room, the stranger remarked that he thought she would prefer seeing him alone. They acconlingly adjourned to another room, when the following dialogue took place : Gent—"l received your kind letf-r, and assure yon it has given me the greatest pleasure to com ply with your request. Little did I ex peat when I have been fortunate enough to attend on yon that you would thus honor mo. I can hut assure you that I have long hoped for tin's opportunity of" Here my friend stopped him by remarking • •' Really I don't know w .at you mean. What letter do you refer to?" With tender consideration, attributing her hesitation to nervous ness, our gidlaut attempted to continue the pretty speech he had commenced, but the lady insisted on seeing the let ter. At last it was produced, when the lndv was astonished to see the ooinmnni cation she had sent to T. A. " But,"' she remarked, "that letter was lent to T. A." "I am T. A.," said the infatu ated youth. His fond dreams, however, were rudely dispersed by the rejoinder: " You are not a ook t" "A what?" he said. "A cook," replied the lady ; "that letter was sent in reply to an ad vertisement which appeared of n cook wanting a situation." Alaa ! poor youth, his castles vanished ; for on entering into an explanation it seemed that the lady had put the wrong number to the address, and that the letter hud been delivered at one of the principal West end linen drapers, and handed to the only T. A. in the establishment. The Mad Ntoue. The Louisville Courier-Journal nays: Mr. Horry R. Phillips, who resides on Third stre'et, between Breckinridge snd Kentucky, brought to this office a few days ago' a mal stone weighing about three ounces, which he said had Into preserved by his family for nearly fifty years. The mad stone bears a littie re semblance to tho honeycomb, except that it is coneshaped, the cells at the baae having thick walls, hut gradually merg ing into a more solid snbstanee a* they approach the apex. The stone has a broad, smooth surface at the base, and within the little cells there is a delicate fibrous substance resembling the pith of aome vegetable product. Mr. Phillips said the stone was once used by an aunt of his who was bitten by a rabid dog. The stone was first dipped in milk and then applied to the wound. It stuck to the part like a leech until all the virus wa* absorbed, and then dropped. It wss then placed in a vessel containing hot water, and quickly a dark greenish sub stance arose from it and spread over the surface, this being the test that the wound was filled with virus of the mad dog. The lady recovered from the wound without a rymptom of hydro phobia. NUMMARY OF SHEWN. lisbmi sl laisrssl trssi llsai* saS ASrssd. The Rax I* Flouring Mills, at Oakvtll*. 111.
