CHARLES DICKENS.
A Ww Sketch by (he Oraat RnsilUh No
rll.t "Soma Partlcnlart Concernlnsia
Lion."
The following sketch Is one or ft scries
of six called the"MudfoR Papers,"
written In his younger days lor Scnlley's
Miscellany by diaries Dickens. These
sketches are entirely unknown to the
reading publio of to-day, never having
appeared in any of Pickens published
works, and as a literary curiosit alone
they are well worth perusal." The
sketch which follows is called ' Some
Particulars Concerning a Lion."
We have a great respect for lions in
the abstract. In common with most
other people, we have heard and read of
many instances of their bravery nnd
generosity. We have duly admired that
heroic self-denial and charming philan
thropy which prompts them never to
eat people except when they are hun
gry, and we have been deeply impressed
with a becoming sense of the politeness
they are said to display toward unmar
ried ladies of a certain state. All natu
ral histories teem with anecdotes illus
trative of their excellent qualities ( and
one old spelling-bcok in particular re
counts a touching instance of an old
lion, of high moral dignity and stern
principle, who felt it his imperative
to devour a young man who had con
tracted a habit of swearing, as a strik
ing example to the rising generation.
All this is extremely pleasant to re
flect upon, and, indeed, says a very
great deal in favor of lions as a mass.
We are bound to state, however, that
such individual lions as we have hap
pened to fall in with have not put forth
any very striking characteristics, and
have not acted up to the chivalrous
character assigned them by their chron
iclers. We never saw a lion in what is
called his natural state, certainly ; that
is to say, we have never met a lion out
walking in a forest, or crouching in his
lair under a tropical sun, waiting till
his dinner should hapnen to come by,
hot from the baker's. But we have seen
Borne under the influence of captivity,
and the pressure of misfortune j and we
must say that tbey appeared to us very
apathetic, heavy-headed fellows.
The lion nt the Zoological gardens, for
instance. He is all very well; ho has
an undeniable mane, and looks very
fierce ; but, Lord bless usl what of thatP
The lions of the fashionable world look
just as ferocious, and are the most
harmless creatures breathing. A box
lobby lion or a Regent street animal will
put on a most terrible aspect, and roar
fearfully, if you affront him; but he
will never bite, and, if you offer to
attack him manlully, will fairly turn
tail and sneak off. Doubtless these
creatures roam about sometimes in
herds, and, if they meet any especially
meek-looking ; and peaceably disposed
lellow, will endeavor to frighten him ;
but the faintest show of a vigorous re
sistance is Buflicient to scare "them even
then. These are pleasant characteristics,
whereas we make it matter of distinct
charge against the Zoological lion r.nd
his brethren at the lairs, that they are
sleepy, dreamy, sluggish quadrupeds.
We do not remember to have ever
seen one of them perfectly awake, ex
cept at feeding time. In every respect
wj upiiom the biped lions against their
tour-looted namesakes, and we boldlv
challenge controversy upon the subject.
w nil these opinions, it may be easily
imagined that our curiosity and interest
were very much excited the other day,
when a lady of our acquaintance called
on us and resolutely declined to accept
our relusal of our invitation to an even
ing party ; " for," said she, " I have got
a lion coming." We at once retracted
our plea ol a prior engagement, and be
came as anxious to go as we had pre
viously been to stay away.
We went early, and posted ourselves
in an eligible part of the drawing-room,
from whence we could hope to obtain a
full view of the interesting animal. Two
or three hours passed, quadrilles began,
the room filled ; but no lion appeared.
liie may 01 the house became mcon-solalc,-lor
it is one of the peculiar privi
leges of these lions to make solemn ap
pointments and never keep them, when
all of a sudden there came a tremendous
double rap at the street door, and the
master of the house, after gliding out
(unobserved as he flattered himself) to
peep over the balusters, came into the
room, rubbing his hands together with
great glee, and cried out in a very im
portant voice, "My dear Mr.
naming the lion Las this moment
arrived."
Upon this, all eyes were turned to
ward the door, and we observed several
young ladies, who had been laughing
and conversing previously with great
gayety and good-humor, grow extremely
quiet and sentimental; while some
young genii jmen, who had been cutting
great figures in the facetious and small
talk way, suddenlysank very obviously
in the estimation of the compnny, and
were looked upon with great coldness
and iudillcience. Even the young man
who had Uen ordered from the music
Riiop to play the piano-forte was visibly
affected, and struck several false notes
in the excitement.
All this time there was a great talk
ing outside, more than once accom
panied by a loud laugh, and a cry of
"uni capital! excellent! ' irom which
wo inlerred that the lion was jocose,
and that these exclamations were oc
casioned by the transports of his keeper
and our host. Nor were we deceived :
for when the lion at last appeared, we

minus, ana every expression ot half

ing the lion agaiu) was in such cue to-
nijfiiu
The lion was a literary ono. Of
course there were a vast number of peo
ple present wno had admired his roar
mas, and were anxious to be intro
dueed to him ; nnd very pleasant it was
to sco ineni brouut up lor the purpose,
and to observe the patient dignity with
which he received all their rjattiui? and
caressing. This brought forcibly to our
mind what we hud sooften witnessed at
country lairs, where the other lions rn
compelled to go through as many forms
of courtesy as they chance to be ac
quainted with, just as often as admiring
panics uappen 10 urop in upon tnem.
While the lion was exhibiting in this
way Lis keeper was not idle, tor he
mingled among the crowd, and spread
his praises most industriously. To one
gentleman he whispered some vcrv
choice things that the noble animal said
in the very act ol coming upstairs.
which, of course, rendered tho mental
effort still more astonishing; to another
he murmured a hasty account of a grand
dinner that had taken place the day be
fore, where twenty-seven gentleman
had got up all at once to demand an
extra cheer for the lion; and to the
ladies be made sundry promises of inter
ceding to procure the niaiestio brute's
sign-manual for their albums. Then
there were little private consultations
in different corners, relative to the per
sonal appearance and stature of the
lion ; whether he was shorter than they
had expected to see him, or tu'ler, t r
thinner, or latter, or younger, or older ;
whether he was like his portrait, or un
like it; and whether the particlar shade
of his eyes was black, or blue, or hazel,
or green, or yellow, or mixture. At
all these Consultations the keeper as
sisted ; nnd, in short, the lion was the
sole and single subject ot discussion
till they sat him down to whi- r, and
then Uiu people relapsed into their old
topics of conversation themselves and
each other.
We must confess that we looked for
ward with no slight impatience to the
announcement of supper ; for if you wish
to see a tame lion Under particularly
favorable circumstances, feeding-time
is the period of all others to pitch upon.
We were therefore very much delighted
to observe a sensation among the guests,
which we well knew how to interpret,
and immediately afterward to behold
the lion escorting the lady of the house
down stairs. We offered one arm to an
elderly female of our acquaintance, who
dear old soul! is the very best person
that ever lived to lead down to any
meal ; for, be the room ever so small, or
the party ever so largo, she is sure, by
some intuitive perception ol the eligible,
to push and pull herself and conductor
close to the best dishes on the table we
tay we offered our arm to this elderly
female, and, descending the stairs
shortly after the lion, were fortunate
enough to obtain a seat nearly opposite
him.
Of course the keeper was there al
ready. He had planted himself at pre
cisely that distance from his charge
which afforded him a decent pretext for
raising his voice, when he addressed
him, to so loud a key as could not fail
to attract the attention of the whole
company, and immediately began to ap
ply himself seriously to the task of
bringing the lion out, and putting him
through the whole of his maneuvers.
Such flashes of wit as he elicited from
the lion I First of all, they began to
make puns upon a salt-cellar, and then
upon the breast of a fowl, and then upon
the trifle; but the best jokes of ail were
decidedly on the lobster salad, upon
which latter subject the lion came out
most vigorously, and, in the opinion of
the most competent authorities, quite
outshone himself. This is a very ex
cellent mode of shining in society, and
is founded, we humbly conceive, upon
tho classic model of the dialogues be
tween Mr. Punch and his friend the
proprietor, wherein the latter takes all
ttie up-hill work, and is content to
pioneer to the jokes and rapartees ol Mr.
P. himself, who never fails to gain great
credit and excite much laughter thereby.
Whatever it be founded on, however,
we recommend it to all lions, present
and to come ; for this instance it suc
ceeded to admiration, and perfectly
dazzled the whole body of hearars.
When the salt-cellar, and the fowl's
breast, and the trifle, and the lobster
salad were all exhausted, and could not
afford standing room for another soli
tary witticism, the keeper performed
that very dangerous feat which is still
done with some of the caravan lions, al
though in one instance it terminated
fatally, of putting is head in the ani Jial's
mouth, and placing himself entirely at
its mercy. Boswell frequently presents
a melancholy instance ot the lamentable
results of this achievement, and other
keepers and jackals have been terribly
lacerated for their daring. It is due to
our lion to state that he condescended
to be trifled with, in the most gentle
manner, and finally went home with the
showman in a hack cab; perfectly
peaceable, but slightly fuddled.
Being in a contemplative mood, we
were led to make some reflections upon
the character and conduct ot this genus
of lions ns we walked homewartC and
we werefnot long in arriving at the con
clusion that our former impression in
their favor was very much strengthened
and confirmed by what we had recently
seen. While the other lions receive
company and compliments in a sullen,.
uiuuuy, nut iu eay snarling, manner,
these appear flattered by tho attentions
that arc paid them; while those conceal
themselves to the utmost of their power
from the vulgar gaze, these court the
popular eye, and, unlike their brethren,
whom nothing short ot compulsion will
move to exertion, are evSr ready to dis
play their acquirements to the wonder
ing throng. We have known bears of
undoubted ability who, when the ex
pectations of a large audience have been
wound up to the utmost pitch, have
peremptorily refused to dance; well
taught monkeys, who have unaccount
ably objected to exhibipn the slack
wire; and elephants of unquestioned
genius, who have suddenly declined to
turn tho barrel organ; but we never
once knew or heard of a biped lion,
literary or otherwise and we state it as
a fact which is highly creditable to the
whole species who, occasion offering,
did not seize with avidity on any oppor
tunity which was afforded him of per
forming to his heart's content on the
hrst violin.
A Coral Bank.
The London JCcho says : The Italians
have matlo a rich " lind" off the Sicilian
coast, and are profiting by it with their
accustomed promptitude. This national
treasure trove is an enormous coral bav k,
upon which an entire population is now
swarming, as though it were a California
or Australian gold mine. And, indeed,
it is to them a discovery of no small
value, for the tourist in Italy, north or

which in England would be regarded as
trinkets only nt lor children; though
in the South they are valued almost on
a par with the glass ornaments from
Murano, with which even the loftiest
ladies of Venice do not disdain to adorn
themselves. Thus the revelation of a
new coral bank is, to the Southern Ital
ians, a cause of delight and profit equal
to mat, in otner regions, ol an unex
hausted mine or virgin fishery. Our
own importation of this pretty material
is comparatively slight, averaging about
30.000 a year, it being regarded as a
tx.iuie w urn. inmuuuu or ruauu auoi nment ;
yet it far exceeds that of amber and is

many that among the miscellanies of

peaches used lor the mounting of scarf

nt Bath for Fowl.
How few there are of our brecdets
Who give their poultry a chance to take
a refreshing dmt bath, though the bene
fits which the fowls derive froji this
system of bathing are manifold. Those
fncks which have their1 liberty unre
strained and can roam around at will,
do not need auy especial arrangement
for the purpose, but choose the most
convenient bud of dryfearth to be found.
Look how they nestle down into tho
loose bed of dust; how they roll first on
one side and then on the other; how
they rullle up their feathers and throw
the fine dust with feet and wings away
under their coats of feathers right to tho
place where the lice and other insects
enemies of the poultry love to harbor,
and then say that it does them no good.
What a bath in cool, pure water is to a
person of cleanly habits, a dust bath is
to poultry, and no one who expects his
fowls to do well, and to keep free from
parasites, will be willing to deprive his
birds ot t his cheap though verji effective
means of so doing.
Poultry with free range on tho farm
will be able to help themselves to a dust
bath, and find it, too, even if they have
to go into the garden or flower beds to
do so. With fowls in confinement, the
means and matter must be supplied,
during the warm weather especially,
and nios, fanciers consider it desirable
to continue tho supply the year round
When there is plenty of shed or house
room, and plenty ot dry earth or street
dust can be obtained (it should be stored
away in barrels during the dry spell tor
future use), a wheelbarrow load or bar
relful can be emptied in one corner,
where it can be confined in a small space
with narrow boards, so it does not get
scattered and spread around when the
hens are dustinc themselves. Another
good way, and it has the advantage of
being more economical, is to get irom
the nearest grocery store, or make them
yourself.which cau be easily done, good
sized, shallow boxes made of some light
material. Thfse arekept nllcd witn dry
earth or dust and put in some convenient
place in the poultry house or sheds,
where the poultry soon learn their uses.

The Distribution of Manure.
If manure has been thorouehly rotted,
yet preserved from wasteful leaching
during tho summer, it can be scatte red
over meadows or grain fields in early
winter, witu very complete dillusion
and so as to reach every part of the sur
face and every feeding root before these
awak3 from their torpor and begin their
active suction of the juices of the soil in
April. For not only is tho manure
spread thinly and finely, but the rains
and snow of winter rauke continually
an infusion of this diffusion, conveying
it into tho loam like as the roots will
next convey it from the soil into the stem
channels of the various vegetating
plants. The only improvement on this
practice is that which obviates loss from
washing away off frozen grou'id, or
leaching away through sand, namely,
the gardeners' practice of keening the
manure sheltered until the plants begin
to want it, and then applying it in liquid
form. The effect on plants in a state of
growth, and therefore able to " take its
tea," is most obvious and striking. Tho
late Thomas Kivers.of Sawbridgeworth,
so famou3for the superior growth of his
roses, dwarf trees and orchard-house
culture, urged the application of liquid
manure, strong like soup or beer, in
January, but weaker, like tea, through
tbe season of active growth. He pre
ferred night soil, and next cow-duog.
Travelers in China all speak admiringly
ot the great yield they obtain from the
soil, but all feel disgusted at their pro
cess. They continually feed with dis
solved and well-diluted human ordure,
and habit seems to have quito deadened
their sense of what is most offensive) to
a Western barbarian. They slop the
enriching slop about as if it were pur
est water, or even eau de Cologne ap
plied to a better practical purpose than
that odoriferous eau is specifically
adapted to. New York Tribune.
Comb and the Weather.
Cows are very sensitive to the influ
ence of the weather. In bright, clear
days their vital forces are more active
and vigorous, digestion is more rapid,
and assimilation and wa9te are more
active, and secretions which, like butter,
depend upon the destruction of tissue,
abundant. Lassitude is favorable to
transu lation, because it relaxes the
delicate membranes and makes the pass
age of liquids easier, and consequently
more abundant. Thus, while the fats in
milk diminish, the albuminoids increase
in mugirv weather: and vet a civen
weight of milk makes less cheese than in
fiir weather. This loss in cheese is
owing to the fact that a9 the albumen of
tho blood ppsses over into the milk
vessels, the major part ol it is converted
into enseine, which is coagulablo by
rennet, while albumen is not. This
change irom albumen to caseine is
effected by tbe vital forces, and is more
or less complete as they vary in strength.
The greater energy of bright days in
creases the per cent, of caseine, and
makes that of albumen less. In muggy
weather this is reversed. These changes
often amount to enough to make live per
cent, difference in tho yield of cheese in
favorof good weather, while the total
of albuminoids, as shown by analysis.
is the greater in the muggy days. From
th'.i decrease in fat and the increase of
albuminoids, which are heavier than
fat, the milk of the muggy days shows
the greater specific gravity and yields a
less per cent, ol butter. Jrrofessor n. a.

Health Hluts.
A certain cure for felon, says an ex
change, is to wind a cloth loosely about
the linger, leaving the end free. Pour

The inhalation of air charged with
ammonia vapors, as h remedy for whoop

success. One of the methods of applica

room where the patient is.
Doctor Millet, a French army surgeon,
recommends powdered aloes as a dress
ing for wounds, both as a means of
favoring cicatrization, and for closing
them. It is said to relieve the severo
pain almost immediately, and requires
to be renewed only at long intervals.
The following drink for relieving sick
ness of the stomach was introduced by
Doctor uaiahan, and is said to be very
palat'tble and agreeable : Beat up ono
egg very well, say for twenty minutes,
then add fresh milk, one pint: water.
one pint; sugar, to make it palatable;
Don, and let it cool; drink when cold.
If it becomes curds and whey it is use

To Break up a Broody Hen.
A writer trivea this method: "You
inclose the hen in a coop (light or dark),
and keep her there for three days and
three nights. She must not have a par
tical of victuals to eat or drink. When
she emerges she will be so ' run mad'
hungry as to banish all thought of her
former intentions. No fear of starvation
in this plan. I have practiced it for years,
and recommended it to hundreds. It
is a sovereign cure. Several hens may be
ut together. One obstinate case in a
lundred may occur. Then (repeat the
dose."
Feed Tour .Horses Well.
TifAnV fni-mara vrhA Iraon linraa fin
pot think it profitable to feed much
grain, and frequently feed poor hay,1
As a consequence of such management
the animals are not worth much for
ltor. When the occasion arises for put
ting horses thm fed at hard work, they
flre found out of o indition and unable
to perform a reasonable task, while in
tho spring they require extra feeding
for a few weeks, or else the work must
fo on with horses unfit for the business,
t is far better to give the horses a little
grain during the winter, when, should
an emergency arise, they are equal to
the occasion.
Extra Feed for Cows.
Cows giving milk should not be al
lowed to fall off in quantity from insuffi
cient feed. It is more difficult to increase
the flow of milk after a shrinkage from
lack of full feed than to keep up a high
activity of the secretion by artificial
feed. When tbe habit of diminished
milk secretion at a particular time of the
year is established, as it will be by rep
resentation, it is not easy to prevent it
entirely by liberal feeding. The habit
will also be transmitted to the offspring
as a family characteristic that will
diminish the value of an animal as a
producer of milk. Give the cows extra
feed as soon as the pasture begins to get
short. American Agriculturist.

for a charge less than $100 a
year." No endowments of any
kind have been made by Mrs.
Stewart' and Judge 1,1 il ton, for the
simple reason that there are no com
pleted institutions to be endowed. The
cathedral is still unfinished ; St. Paul's
school for boys will not be complete for
a year: the work on tho bishop's house
has not gone many feet above ground ;
and the question ot endowment is ob
viously premature. The two diocesan
schools at Garden City occupy houses
belonging to the Stewart estate, but are
self-supporting. It is not likely that St.
Paul's school will ever need a large
endowment fund. The cdthedral, how
ever, will be a white elephant of the larg
est proportions on . the hands of the
diocese, unless it 13 liberally endowed.
The Guardian continues: "One build
ing is now nearly completed and will
accommodate &uu students. Two other
buildings of equal dimensions will be
erected beside it. A divinity school
will be established in Garden City."
Tho building, which will be completed
next year, will accommodate 500 bo s.
provided 200 of them camp out in " the
grounds, walks, groves or parks that
will surround them." or take lodaines
in the town, which now consists of
seventy houses. As for the second
building for boys, it will be time enough
to talk about it when there is the re
motest need of it. The divinity school
has already been established and has
entered upon its third year.
k Queer Custom.
In China, when it is desirable to get
.1 e : - .1 . l . i 1 ,
imui Buuio vciv luiicubuii uuiciai, it is
done in a very polite manner. Ho is
not condemned to death. He only re
ceives a neat parcel, containing a silken
cord, with nn imperial dispatch settine
forth that, in consequence of his great
virtues and many services, the emperor
is graciously pleased to allow him to
strangle or hang himself; and the re
cipient is thereupon supposed to write
a careful answer, thankinar his maieMv
for his consideration, and stating that
1 I. L ... 111 1 J ' ... . ,
uu; mm. win uu lmiuBiuuieiy iiiKen.
As a rule the unluckv official dura
finish himself off with all dispatch. But
a case occurred not long ago in fekin
winch sadiy outraged uu feelings ot
Chinese court propriety. General
Sh-ng-yu, who, during the last China
war, commanded, the body of men
which treacherously seized Sir Hurry
rarKcs ana several outers unocr a na
of truce most of the poor iMlows dv
ing afterward in great torment was
ono of those indiscreet men whose
tongues are too long for thoir safety.
After the war he took a local command.
and having once been rebuked by the
empress-mother, indulged in some re
marks about her character. Of course
some mnd friend told the empress : and
sometime afterward, a subordinate of
Shang-yu's charging him with some
offense be was ordered :o the capital for
trial. He came boldly, trusting to his
great wcaitu to escape unpicascnt con
siquonces. He was lodeed in prison.
but allowed to do much as he iiked, and
soaie ot his wives used to come and see
him daily.
Ha staid there so long, and was so
comfortable, that he bet;un to think ho
had been forgotten, and in an evil hour
he sent in a petition to be put at once on
on trial. The Emperor Tank wong had
died since his arrest, and the empresses
were in reality governing through the
regent. Prince Kung; nnd General
Shang-yu littlejknew that his incautious
remarks had been repeated. When the
petitions of tho day were submitted to
the junior empress, his was read and he
was ordered to be beheaded. There
was nothing lor it but to obey the
empress s orders; and a decree "per
mitting" him to strangle himself was
immediately drawn up, and sent to him
with the usual nackaee of silken cnrrl.
But Shang-yu didn't take at all a proper
View of his duties, and he did not lend
himself to the operation. It was not
etiquette to call in the jailers to strangle
him, and the bearer of the bowstring
and the governor of the jail were hardly
strong enough to cope with atolpmhlv
muscular man who objected to lettinu
1 . 1 1 ! II . ,

the cord round a beam, and after a long
course of reasoning got him to mount
a stool and put his neck in the noose.
It must havo been very much like
Punch and Judy. For fear he should
tniange ins mind, they did not allow
him to kick the stool away himself, as
ss customary, but pulled it away thein
ieives; and 'when his wives camo that

shown bis corpse still hanging.
They met, they smiled, tiny wept,

called him Thomas : a richer man rode
down the lane, and Tom brought suit

SAVED BT OIL.
Mrs. Susanna Asmus, No. II Bartlett
street, Baltimore, Md., had for twenty
two years been a sufferer from sores and
pains in her limbs. She tried many
remedies without any favorable results.
Happening to hear of St. Jacobs Oil, she
concluded at last to try it. The result
was wonderful. The sore heated, the
pains vanished, and she is now well again.
According to tho latest returns the
population of tbe the United Kingdom,
is estimated lor England and Wales,
25,460.161; Scotland, 3.661,292; Ire
land, 5,363,590. Total, 34,505,043.

the very best selling liniment ever sold,
and is giving the highest satisfaction.

Proportions of the Human Figures
The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
tho rule holds good. Any deviation
from it is a departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greeks made
all their statues according to this rule.
Tho face, from the highest point of the
forehead, where tne nair ougins, io uie
cliln. in one-tenth of the stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle fore
finger, is the same. From the top of the
chest to the highest point of the fore
hcad is a seventh. If the face, from tbe
roots of the hair to the chin, is divided
into three equal parts, the first division
determines the place where tho eyebrows
meet, and t lie second tne place oi tne
nostrils; The height from tho feet to
the top of the head is the distance Irom
the extremity of the lingers when the
arms are extended.

The mild splendors of the rising sun.
the raddy, glowing tints of the evening,
tbe moon's calm radiance in a serene
night all these swell our bosoms with
pleasure: but sweeter, still sweeter, is
the recollection of a benevolent deed.
