NOTES OF A PROSPEROUS, POPULAR DRY
GOODS HOUSE.
E.U.Dormatal &C0..N0.190
Water Street.
An Eighty Thous a nd Dollar Stock.
Those who do not take especial pains to
investigate the subject, have but little idea
of the
MAGNITUDE Or TRE 'MERCANTILE DUSINR3S
of the city. The general impression is,
when visiting a store to do a bit of trading,
"Theis must be nigh on to $lO,OOO worth
of goods in this 'ere store; a heap of goods,
flint it." Coming down Water street let's
step into
No. 120: Mr. Dormaul has been absent in
the eastern cities three weeks selecting goods
for his mammoth store. A long time to:
`select $lO,OOO worth of goods. one might
think, but as we enter, and begin, Yankee
like, to ask questions, and look at goods
$lO,OOO is used up before We pass thirty
feet into the 100 before us, and there are
two more floors above,• equally well filled.—
The shelves and counters are literally
packed and piles of goods for which there
is no room on shelf or counter, are visible
in convenient corners. .41 brief mention of
some of the goods in this
TIIMUNSE. noes:,
one of the largest of any dry goods house
in the city, may be of interest -to the many
readers of the Gazette, and be to them a
guide when they wish to purchase tine goods
at a remarkable low paice, Iu
DRESS 000 W
there is no stock in Southern New York of
equal magnitude and variety, from prints,
to the richest silks, or at such prices.—
Prints of all the latest styles, black silks
plain and with flue satin finish at all prices;
fancy Bilks, striped grisaille of various pat
terns, at the remarkably low price of
ninety-eight cents per yard ; Irish - poplins,
Japanese silks, mourning dress goods of en
tire new and elegant fabrics, and an im
mense stock of black alpacas of all grades,
6
the largest ever brought into this market ;
its() a large stock of black cashmeres for
)ollman cloaks. in fact there is nothing
•n the dress goods line. that cannot be found
it E. H. DonnAut. eo'a. Leaving the
Tress goods for a thne, when the eye delights
to linger on the beautiful fabrics and attrac
tive patterns. The
attracts especial attention, nut only by the'
great variety displayed, but in the quantity,
quality, and the low figures at which they
are sold. In this department may be found
double damask table linen of beautiful de
sighs ; towels of magnificent quality, a fair
size retailing as low_as one dollar per dozen;
linen napkins in great variety full size and
only one dollar per dozen. The stock of
Marseilles quilts aro especially noticeable
for quality and b'eauty. No one need be
without a table cloth,' when extra fine
bleached loom dice table linen can; be
bought at DORMAITI..B, for twenty-five cents
per yard. The array of linen goods looks
$55,431,451 94
like a wholesale stock, and those desiring
this class of goods especially, will find the
best bargains can here be made. The stock
of mastitis bleached and unbleached, of all
the leading brands, is equally large, and
will be sold at retail at the New York
wholesale prices: Now is the tinie to lay in
a. stock. In' the
'UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT
may be found an elegant stock of striped
reps, plain terrys, damasks, etc., of a great
variety of patterns.' The .
HOSIERY DEPART NT
contains a fall line of the best goods. Thee
celebrated Balbriggan hose selling as low as
fifty cents per pair. A new feature is the
seamless woven French corset. Mr. Don
'sum. purchased a large stock of these
goods and will be very popular and eagerly
sought after by the ladies. They are the
best yet introduced. On the first floor also
is the
RETAIL MILLINERY DEPARTMENT,
where will be found a fine stock of millin
ery goods, patterns, hats elegantly trinimed,
straw goods of all kinds, and first class mil
liners of large experience, in constant at
tendance. This branch of the retail trade
will receive special attention and ladies are
invited to call and iexamine the large stock
now being displayed.
In addition to the goods already noted,
everything usually_ found in a dry goods
house will be found here in great variety .
The second floor is especially 'devoted to
carpets, and it is packed from ono end of
the floor to the other, with one of the best
and choicest selections ever brought to this
market. Ingrain—one, two, and three ply
body brussels, tapestry, brussels; and other
varieties, too numerous, to mention, and at
prices that are desperately cheep. White
Air.Dottstikot. teas east selecting'his goods, in
consequence of the great dullness in trade
the 'Hartford Carpet Company nkade a great
auction sale of carpets. Mr. Dorm:tut.,
taking advantage of this :opportunity, with
his usual promptness, and desire to supply
he public with the best and at a low price,
ought largely, selecting only such patterns
and quality, as would best please the large
trade' in this vicinity. These goods 'were
bought fully fifteen cents per yard below
the factory prices,•and he proposes to give
the public tbe'benefit of this fine. bargain,
being satisfied to make but a small profit,
and Will retail Vieth far below the present
market value. There will be a rush for the
new carpets. The
more deeply interests the ladies, and per
sons engaged in .the millinery business.—
Mr. DoTtMAUL has opened upon his floor a
very heavy stock of
and will do a general jobbing trade. To
this superiot stock the attention of dealers
is especially invited. Pattern bats of the
latest sprit4 styles, magnificently trimmed,
and of the finest material in large numbers.
A full line of straw goods of every quality
and style, a rich assortment of all kinds of
ribbons, and an endless variety of the finest
French flowers, and all other goods requ4ed
in a first-class millinery establishment can
be found at DORIIAUL & Co's, wholesale
millinery jobbing rooms. The prices at
,which these goods are afforded, and their
superior finality, will induce those in the
trade to call and examine before purchasing.
The rooms are arranged to its smallest de
tail as perfect as any jobbing house in New
York city. Mr. DOnatauL, during the four.
teen years be has been in business in this
city, has established a reputation for lion
orable dealing second to none, and All goods
purchased at this house will be found as
recommended. They now carry a stock
amounting - tei $80,000 7 . Their trade is al
ready.imM epee, and will increase - when the
people understand what a stock they have
to select from. They can suit everybody.--

" No; L won't tell you anything of the

" I think I ah•c. Some one eras madly in

" If you were to guess till this day out
you would not find the cause," said my
friend. "Let us sit down here, and I will
explain. It's no secret. I wonder the ma.
jor has not told you."
" Down here" was on a rustic seat that
the major's wife bad. made at the end of his
garden, close to where a little rill, soon to
be lost in the blue Hudson, tinkled its way
through his grounds.
" Miring the war," began the doctor, " I
served in the army in the same regiment
with an old schoolmate. He was as line a
soldier as ever drew sword; hale, hearty,
sound in mind and body, and eager to see
service—and he saw plenty.. I thought he'
bore a charmed life, till one day he was car
ried into the hospital in a bad way. A ball
had entered his shoulder, glanced on the
clavicle—what you call the collar bone—
and had gone—somewhere. That is all we
could tell, for there was no other orifice;
but whether it had passed up or down, or
taken some erratic course around about,
such as balls will take, we knew not, and
no probing could find out. , Well, be recov

for nearly three years I lost sight of him.—
When the war was over, and I had begun
to practice as a civilian in New York, Imet
him again.* But how changed. He was a
living skeleton, and I saw in a moment that
he had become habituated to opium. Do
you know what that means? No. Well,
throw a bucket of water into a piano, and
then light a fire under it, and its strings will
not be more out of tune than au opium
smoker's nerves are out of order. He asked
me if he might call on me at my office, and
of course 1 assented; but it was days before
he came, and when he did arrive I knew
that he had been preparing himself for a
fight with himself. Some foolish patients
come prepared to hide the truth, some to
magnify their ills. It is a part of our busi
ness, in serious cases, to examine a man's
mind before we ask about his body; and
hardened as a surgeon must be, I confess
that the condition of my poor friend fright
ened me. There was an expressipn in his
eye that I had never seen in any being; and
/Oat made this worse was the calm, busi
ness-like manner m which he Spoke. Lie
told me that soon after he had (apparently)
recovered from his wound he began to stif
fer from pains in his head, which increased
in severity till they became so agonizing
that he had recourse to opium to allevitkte
them. ' But I have not time to consult you
about this,' he said; this I can bear—must
bear. Would to God they were always
tearing me! The tvorst is when they are
not.'
" 'They leave you very weak?' I suggest
ed.
" They leave ho replied, quite
with a burning, all bbt unconquerable

"I am not generally a nervous man, but
I started and looked around tile for some
weapon of defense. Don't be afraid,' he
continued, with a sad smile. "rhe fit is not

had been. I have been nearly starved once
or twice, not dating to leave my room. I
can conquer my madness now; the question
is how long I can continue to do so. I feel
that it is gaming upon me. 1 feel my pow

" 'Any human life?' I inquired, 'or some

getting suddenly excited.

I had had a pistol with me I should have

soon I shall take a pistol on purpose, and
shoot her.'
"It was clearly no use arguing with him.
The best way with sucN people is to admit
their facts, and try to work around them.
" ' Then,' said 1, the only thing you can
do is to submit to the restrictions of an asy

" 'lt will not pass. If I was to go to a

Well, that would save her; but, doctor,

I'Matli h imdespribe the first sensations of
his head, and repeat 411 that his
medical advisers had said. I happened to
have 'tt "strong preparation of hasheesh by
me; I gave hint a dose, and whilst lie was
under its influence I carefully examined his
head. 'Now the head, you must know, does
not fattenor waste away in prOportion to
other Parts of the body; 'still his had become
mere skin and bone; and this state, perhaps,
gave me an advantage over others who had
made the same examination. At last I felt,
or thought I felt, a faint twitching—a sort
of abnormal pulsation—about two inches
abovellie left ear. It might be Merely ner
vows, hilt it'inight be caused by the ball.
"I then set my mind to work,, and tho't
the whole case over steadily. 14 the first
place, was that impulse to take human life,
of whielkey_poor friend bad spoken, really
uncontrollable? For example, suppose that
'one day'he did iake a pistol ' on' purpose,'
and go to that young lady's garden—would
he shoot her? TO suppose that ,the insane
mind hover changes its purpose, or - turns
from the full completion of its IS.iirpose, is
to say, in other words, that the insane mind
is stronger than the 'sane. If adman with
alreahly-broken leg was to tell you he was
going to run a foot race you would not be
'Wye him; because your common sense re-
I volts against the Idea of his running with
a leg disabled„ But if one with. his brain
disabled declares that lie is going to do
something dependent upon thei action of
his mind, common sense does not always
argue so well.
"In the second place, did mot my poor
friend;= . with his impaired riIeRSIS of judg
ment, believe that the impulse v,:as uncon
trollable? Besides, if he did, the end wo'd
be the same so far as he was concerned.—
Ile would sacrifice his owir life Ito protect
that-of others, thbugh they were in no ac
tual danger.
"In the third place, might not this story
of the impulse be a mere pretense to excuse
the commission of suicide? Now there are
no forms of madness more obscure in their
origin, more difficult to detect,l more per
sistent, and more fatal than suicidal mania;
and as there have been numerous cases in
which persons who have destroyed them
selves have carefully prepared evidence
tending to show that their death was acci
dental, why should there not ilhe one in
which the fatal act was to be (so f r as pos
sible) justified?
"In the fourth place, granting ,th 4 there
was either real homicidal.mania or f
.ncied
homicidal mania tending to suicidal, cr
ply the latter—was there a poSsibi_lty of
cure?
"As the three first questions rested for
their solution on one set of facts, and the
deductions to be drawn therefiem, I con
sidered them together. A victim of suici
dal mania rarely, if ever, speaks of suicide.
When a man says he is going to drown
himself, you- may generally direct him to
the cars which will take him to the 'river
side with the fullest conviction that he will
not breakf,ast with crabs, If, in an excep
tional case, ;suicide is mentioned, it will
either he treated lightly, as an act that is
not a crime, or the patient will be very
earnest in his assurances that ho would nev
er commit it. Remembering the manner of
my poor friend, I noticed that he' l spoke of
taking his own life with much more emotion
than he evinced when he told me 'of the im-
pulse to shed the blood of others. ' His
word; ' I must have human if I had
had a pistol with . me I should have shot her;
some day soon I shall take a pistol on pur
pose and shoot her; I should Murder my
keeper and go straight for that innocent
girl,' were spoken as calmly as though he
had said, I owe five dollars'—l must gonna
pay them,' and at the same time With a tone
of deep commiseration for the predestined
victims. They were to die for no fault of
their own, but. they were doomed jto death
—if ho lived. When, on the other band,
he spoke of saving their lives at the sacri
fice of his own, his manner changed. No
one afflicted With suicidal mania ever treated
self-destruction with the horror, the' con
sciousness of its wickedness, and: the reli
gious doubts as to its being pardonable-un
der any circumstances, with which he con
sidered it. lie had never once spoken of
murder as a crime:
" After a long and careful consideration
I came to the, following conclusions:
" He is not laboring under suicidal mania;
his impulse is real, and will have fatal re•
suits; confinement in au asylum would have
no curative effect. Then 1 took down my
books bearing upon the anatomy of the hu
man head.
" The next morning I addressed him thus:
' Before 1 answer you as to whether you
would be justified before God,' tinder the
impulse you have told me of, in takingymir
own life to save that of another, you must
answer me several questions.'
" Go on,' he said.
" When you consulted those doctors did
you tell them all that pin have told me?'
" ' No, I did not dare. I said that I had
horrible thoughts and cravings, but without
-entering into details as to what they - were.
thiee---1-went so far as to say I feared I wan
becoming - dangerous, and the old fool
smiled.''
" ' Good. Did they ever spea of search
ing for that ball?' - - '
" Yes; they said it might be the cause of
my sufferhigs '
supposing irhad lodged near
the brain, but that no one - would take the
responsibility of - searching for it—so to
speak—in the dark.'
"rimy were right—the operation might
kill you, and the ball not be found after all.'
" lie looked up, and the dull, dejected
look that had become habitual passed from
his face,
" And even if it was found,' 1 went on,
`its extraction might cause your death all
the same.'
"lie laid his hand on my arm and tried
to speak, but he could not.
" Still it would give you a chance—just
a chance of more than life.' His., grasp
tightened. I could feel his heart beating.
• And submitting to such an operation—al
most hopeless though it. would be—would
not be quite suicide.'

Sumptuary laws are directly at valiance
with the spirit of free institutions, and the
legislation.of this country has for the hist
half century given them no countenance br -
support_ But a member of the Ohio Legis-'
lature has recently shown that the narrow
spirit of the old laws forbidding the wear--
ing of gay clothing, and the display of
wealth in other ways, still commands his
approbation.. Mingled with his' unwilling
ness that other people should enjoy what be
regards as luxuries, is a selfish desire to
monopolize for his own benefit a certain
priceless boon with which his fond parents
endowed him. The name of this conserva
tive and selfish legislator i. 4 John` Smith,
and he has introduced into the ,I)ody of
which he is a member a bill to protect him
in the uninterrupted enjoyment of that mel
lifluous appellation. By the provisions of
this bill he endeavors to prevent any citizen
of Ohio from hereafter naming a son "John
Smith," and ho thus stands forth as the ad
vocate, for purely selfish reasons, of an il
liberal and objectionable sumptuary law.
That Hon. John Smith is proud of his
name, is apparent from the fact that he has
not attempted to disguise it by the weak
subterfuge of spelling " Smith" with a " y"
And an " e," and the open cowardice of
abandoning "John" in favor of a solitary
initial "J. This is on the whole rather
creditable to him, but he should be content
with the happy possession of his fortunate
name, and not proceed to deprive his un
born fellow citizens of all chance of a like
blessing. If his motive be simply to pre
serve future generations from the enerya
ting influence of indulgence in luxuries,The
has made a mistake in selecting the use of
the name "John Smith" as a luxury dan
gerous above all others. History teaches us
that the luxury of the governing class
among the Romans led to the downfall of,
the Empire, but there is not an instance on
record where the prevalence of the name
"John Smith" resulted in the ruin of a na
tion or a. community. There are names
which might exercise a disastrous influence
upon a people, were they to come into gen
eral use. It may, for example, be question
ed; whether a nation, the majority of whose
citizens would wear such a name as " Gin
erY Twitchell"—estimable as the present
sole owner of that name may be—could
long maintain the respect of the civilized
world. Ninety-nine Americans out of eve
ry hundred might, however, be named
"John Smith" Without in the least depreci
ating the price of American securities. It
may, therefore, be unhesitatingly of
that the Ohio legislator is as much in error
-in selecting the object against which his
sumptuary law is directed as he is' in revert
ing in any shape to an illiberal and obsolete
species of legislation.
There is too much reason to believe that
his real motive is a miserly desire to monop
olize his name. Probably ho comes ,of
family noted for longevity, and 'hopes that
by cutting off the supply of -further John
Smiths, and outliving his present rivals in
the possession of that name, he may yet be
known as the sole John, Smith, of the United
States—the unique possessor of that noble
name. Let him remember, however, that
the people, who strongly reprobate selfish
ness in a member of the Legislature, will
not forget the name by which•such distinc
tion was won. This very prominence as
the unique John Smith of the period—the
very renown that will have brought tourists
from all parts of the globe to gaze upon
him—will but intensify the popular horror
at the selfishness which made him famous,
and maite_hini the object whereat the finger
of juvenile scorn will be pointed by boys
_who, but for his grasping covetousness,
might also have enjoyed the blessedness of
owning the name which he is now striving
to monopolize.-1V Y. Tonal.
In a notice of "The Brook and Other
Poems," by William 13. Wright, the
.New
York ?Imes thus discourses:
There are agreat many nice words in
Mr. Wright's volume. Indeed, except in an
unabridged dictionary of the Nery largest
size, it; would be impossible to find so exten
sive a collection of swept things In polysyl
lables; and beautiful words in one syllable.
These pretty words Mr. Wrightlas lavish
ed all over his pages, and at tries has so
grouped them that they seem to express in
telligible ideas. Tire latter, however, are
not sufficiently numerous to merit much at
tention, and are neither fresh nor brilliant.
It is as a collection of nice words that Mr.
Wright's volume must be judged.
The author has arranged his words in the
form of verse, a form which, since it ad
mits of a wide margin of white paper, dis
plays his work to better ^advantage than
closely-printed prose could have done. In
deed, had he carried this idea still further,
and - made his pages wholly blank, the pub
lic'would have - been his debtors.- To select
one of his minor poais - as _an example of
what can be accomplished by - a
- skillful use
of the dictionary, and an entire indiffereiCe
to the meaning of the words employed, let
us take the verses entitled. " Reminiscence."
In' his poeht Mr. Wright remarks that he
has
"Forgot the beach I frolicked o'er,
The ocean whose smaragdino floor
Reposed tmawent by mortal oar."
"Smaragdine" is , tfnquestionahly a Very
pretty i, word, and Mr. Wright knows it.—
liencelie writes id order to introduce it,
and cares little for the connection in which
it is used. lie is not, however, guilty of
reckless &sertion, for every, one will - agree
that the floor of the ocean haknever been
swept, or, for that matter, scilibbed with
soap and brushes—a state of things that
reflects no credit upon Neptune's house
maid. Further on, Mr. Wright speaks of

himself as bding guilty of conduct

is, however, clearly, au extraordinary per-

duller and less exciting Pegasus. Precisely

refer to the inharmonious rhymes in which
the charms of Day 443fartin'd,:blacking were
formerly celebrated. Can =it be that Mr.
Wright was formerly the poet of that en
terprising firm, and that he has proudly
ceased this honorable employment? •
Of his poetry the author has as high an
opinion as that which he entertains con
cerning his ability to leap over pales. . He
even warns the reader against the danger
ous intoxication of his verse: •
'"Who drinks my fountain may repent it,
finch flay ferments and so rare

And Temperance guar& with fa/chlon bare

And sifts all men that enter there."
In deference to this warning we decline
to invite the reader's further attention to
Mr. Wright's volume. If to read these po
ems is to incur the danger of being - sifted
with a bare falchion, the safest course'wo'd
he to leave them unread, and to firmly 'de

eloping with Prinee Prederich` Schwtirtzen
berg, of Austria, by whom
Mu was quelled. - -
, The Prince was a most notorious roue,
'and.palled of his victory soon, but no ear
lier than my lady. Leaving Munich as un
ceremoniously as she quit London, she went
to Italy and contracted six marriages, 1' as
she termed them., in half that number of
years. --Five years after the first elopement
she removed to Greece, and was speedily
married once more to Count Theodoki.—
But Theodoki, though god-given by name,
was altogether too mortal for the much
marrying heroine, and having divorced him
by her usual method, she was next an Athe
nian celebrity and hostess, as. the wife of a
Pahear chief. The Athenian shared the
fortunes of Italian, German, •and Briton,
and The much-husbanded wife struck - Lady
Hester's trail at Bevrout.
She lived something of the opulent and
iiperious life of her predecessor until,
while journeying to Damascus, Sheik Ab
dul,. captain of' the caravan, pleased her
fancy, and was instantly—married. She
e )
traveled with and waited on him more
diligently than upon any ' his predeces
sors; assumed the ArabVdr ss .more com
pletely thaw Lady Heste 'won a lawsuit
against Lord Ellenbarough, husband No. 1,
and an enormous property with it; built a
stately palace, after the oriontal pattern,
near Damascus, and entertained husband
No. 9 when Dia duties as captain of cara
vans gave him leisure to call. •
Here she long reigned supreme—the mar
vel of natives and the wonder of tourists;
dispensing a profuse hospitality; beautiful
in spite of her years, and charming notwith
standing the vicissitudes of, her eventful
career. And now Sheik Abdul is a widower.
After more than twenty years in the most
famous of eastern cities, exiled from home
•by her own strange conduct, this heroine of
a career that would be pronounced improb
able if described by Miss Braddon, is at
rest.
Hints on Shopping.
It is poor economy—or, rather, no econo
my at all—to purchase 'inferior fabrics be
cause they are cheap. Persons in limited
circumstances often commit this error. If
a calico at ten cents a yard looks about as
well as one at twelve or fifteen cents, the
prudent purchaser will often think it econ
omy to choose the low-priced goods. As it
is low-priced, she may indulge in a yard or
two more for ruffles or bias folds, flattering
herself that cheap ornamentation is an
equivalent for fine quality. '['his mistake
may be seen permeating the entire wardrobe
of many sensible people. The result is
simply this: they never have anything of
.really good quality, are always shabby, and
always buying. None but rich people can
to buy poor goods. This rule applies
to all sorts of good—muslins, cloths,- car:
pets, and table linen. We grudge the time
we ace women speu'l in making up mulles
of low grade for un er-clothing. There are
so many stitches in a shirt! And.when it
lasts one year instcld of two, as it should,
there is just twice as much work done as
need, to lie. Better make three shirts of fine
quality muslin than six 'of a lower grade of
muslin. Just so in flannels. A 114 y-cent
all-Wool Shaker flannel will wear two or
three times as lou as your flimsy cotton
and-wool stuff a fey pennies cheaper. Es
peCially in a. fami y of childreh, fabrics
should he chosen fo. service that when made
up they may deacon I from one child to an
other, thus saving the mother tirn'e to stitch
into her,,brain a little embroidery of thought
and culture.
A few rules with regard to shopping it
self may be in place. First: Have a Dist of
articles to be purchased made out in black
and white. By this means Sou will be saved
from sudden temptation to buy whAt is not
really necessary, and forget notltlng, that
you require. Bccond!, Deal only With mer
chants in whose business integrity you can
confide. Third: In the Fong run one aiwaya
does better to buyAit one and the same place
than to run abouClor the purpose of hunt
ing up bar g ains!A regular 'customer can
often get iavnis denied to an occasional pur
chaser. Fourth: Never buy what ybu don't
want simply because it is cheap.
Cold Ablutions in Fever.
In a,valuable article contributed to one of
the-French medical jdurnals by Dr. L'Am
_ben, he presents the following conclusions
concerning the use of cold ablutions in fe
ver, as practiced in France: They are es
pecially useful in typhoid and the eruptive
tevers, and strongly indicated in malignaht
cases. They act upon the chief and most
constant phenomena of these diseases, are
especially antilehrile, and reduce the tent•
perature materially. - They favor the re-es
tablishment 'of a full, profound, I regular
perspiration; render the secretions more
active; make the skin supple,
moist, and
fresh; favor the anteoming of the eruption;
allay cerebral and other nervous excitement;
suppressing headache, coma, delirium, anti
restlessness, and - induce sleep ; cause the
pulse to fall eighto thirty heats. From twi,
to eight hours is ;Jae duration of their ac
tion, the ablutions to he repeated two to
four times in the 24 hours. They have no
laftuence upon the length of the sickness,
bat na4or it milder.

entire frame is to be filled in with ,brick

structure is then to be weathetboarded in
the usual manner, and the plastering Np•
plied directly upon the inner side of the Oil
ing, it-being understood that the studding
is to be of the same thickness as the brick
work. The sills will prevent' dampness
passing up from the foundations into the
filling, and the external sheeting will ex
elude moisture from the jointsof the same;
thereby insuring a perfectly dry and com—
fortable house. The filling,which =he com
posed of inferior material, will revent rats
and other vermin running throuthe house;
and the said filling will also ad greatly to

the safety of the structure, as it is ,well•
known that the open spaces between the

- ' To Render Mot g ' , g Water-proof.
It is very, desirabl: to understand how to
make overcoats, hor-e blankets, hay caps,
grain bags, and any hing else water-proof,
by incurring a little -xpense. We herewith
give a recipe which 4as often been sold for
hundreds of dolla.s to unsophisticated
clothiers: "To aho t ten quarts of rain
1
water add half a pond 'Of powdered alum;
stir this at. intervals Mil it becomes clear;
then pour it off Int another bucket and
put the garment the ern; let it remain for
twenty-four hours, t en hang it out to dry
without wringing it.' A lady,who has test
ed this recipe thorou_hly, - writes that when
they were traveling they wore garmenti
thus treated in the eldest storms of wind
and rain without g tting wet. The rain
would hang upon th cloth in globules; in
e ‘
i
short the garments . ere re Ily water-proof.
The gentleman walk d nin miles in a storm,
of wind and rain sunh-as-y rarely see. in'
the South, and wh n he 1 pped off his
overcoat his underc ethes re as dry 8s
when be put them o 1 . This is, we thinir

quality and hardly distinguishable from
each other though "ade in summer, aut

"They contained little salt and no butter
milk. This perfect lmtter is churned daily
from fresh milk. Here lies the secret. Milk
one hour—butter thel next. No setting If

cream. No subjection of milk and cream
to atmospheric, electric and thermal chang

In pea culture it is'e • u iportant element
of success to get then A the ground ear/y.
They are tolerably Ifardy. A little frost
will not hurt them; a'n4 they like to get well
on before the warin'; weather comes. In
deed, the pea dos not like warm weather.
It is a native of cool climates, and-as soati
as hot dry is eather conies it gets mildewed
or otherisisc/diseased. The best peaground
is theretora cool, strong soll,and if thepea
stakes can be provided, so that the luxuriant
growtivwill notzclosel'in and suffocate all
ogether, good, well decomposed manure
helps the crop wonderfully. The best wri
teyS on garden vegetables claim that for peas
it' is best to have the ground well manured
/the year before the crop is sown, so as to
have it well decayed, as,rank manure makes
more foliage and less peas, while well de

manure seems to help the seed

Many a poet.• fellow as worn out his
bones trying to work a piece of poor ground;
but such bone application has seldom re
sulted in large profits.. Our English friends
have discovered that it is much better "to
use other people's bones in theao cases than'
their own, and the bOue-trado of England
has assumed gigantic Proportions. All the
old battle-Ileitis have been ransacked, and
unless report do them an injustice, many au
old fellow whose bones were supposed to
rest in peace idsome grassy, - daisy-dowered
churchyard, would have to hunt some mod
ern turnip-field -to find all that remains of
them. Foreign countries have not only to
pay tribute to England of their wealth da
ting life, but even their bones have to fol
low, in order to enrich British soil, as while
living they worked to till British pockets.
Australia sends an enormous quantity of
bones to England. It has become such a
heavy trade that the article itself was found
too light for profit. Science has been called
in to enable the ship-owner to take these=
weight in less bulk. The bones are first
ground, then the dust mixed with some sub
stance which will give it just enough idite
siveness to niake-the particles, to stick to
gether. Then the material is put, tinder
heavy pressure in mpunds about sir iiiches
square, so that it can be packed in the hold
without any. loss of space. One ton of this

hone-cake measures twenty-six' cubic
feel. Of course these tones are all of wild
or domestic animals, but still "silence is
golden."
