SCISSORS.
—lnfants are some times tongue-tied;
what a pity that a large proportion of
our adults are not so likewise.
—An editor in lowa has been fined
two hundred dollars for hugging a girl
in church.— [Exchange.] Like a good
shepherd, he wanted to draw the lambs
to his fold.
—A correspondent of the Louisville
Journal treats at some length on the
very best way to prevent hydrophobia.
A wag in reply suggests that he once
preveuted a case of this dreadful mal
ady by getting on a fourteen rail fence
and staying until the ‘‘dorg” left.
—“’Vegetable pills 1” exclaimed an
old lady. “Don’t talk to me of such
stuff. The best vegetable pill ever
made is an apple dumpling ; for destroy
ing a gnawing in the stomach there is
nothing like it; it can always be relied
on.”
—The cannon that fired the first shot
in the war at the steamer Star of the
West, at the entrance of Charleston har
bor, January 9, 1861, passed through
Cairo, 111., en route to Washington, on
Wednesday, in charge of four soldiers
of the Fifteenth Regulars.
—The Canadian Commission ap
pointed to ascertain the damage done in
the late raids of the Fenians, report
that in the east it will amount to from
$15,000 to $25,000 and in the west
from SG,OOO to SIO,OOO.
—A special order for the mustering
out of those officers of white troops on
duty in the Freedmen’s Bureau, whose
regiments have been mustered out of
service several months since, has been
issued from the War Department. They
are all to be sent home immediately.
—A Paris correspondent of a London
paper gives a description of one of the
most curious sights of the French Capi
,tf»l—ati Thrmense rhsCaurant called “La
Californie,” near the Barriere du Maine,
capable of accommodating 18,000 per
sons daily with cooked meals.
—A writer in the Civic Guard recom
mends the building of bright fires in the
cotton fields at nights during the moth
season. Each moth produces thousands
of cotton worms, and everything of the
nature of a miller rushes into the fire of
a dark night wherever they can find it.
—Three important events occurred in
Europe on the last anniversary of the
battle of Waterloo. On that day Prus
sia made a declaration of war against
Austria, and Itally followed her exam
ple. And it w'as on the same day that
the British Ministry sustained a humil.
iating defeat on the Reform bill.
—As an instance of the value of
small things, it is ascertained that eye
lits, costing but seventeen or eighteen
cents per thousand, are consumed to the
value of four million dollars per year ;
so that over two hundred and fifty thou
sand millions of these little conveniences
are annually used in hoop skirts, shoes,
etc.
—The North Carolina Supreme
Court has decided that the following
note is only worth the value of the bank
notes in gold at its date : “$71.00. Six
months after date we or either of us
promise to pay James Lackey, adminis
trator of Wm. Wray, deceased, $71.00>
for value received of him, March 3d,
1865.”
—President Johnson has completed
an able message, giving his reasons
for vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau
Bill. The whole document is admira
ble in its conservative tone and logical
reasoning, but it will, in all probability,
not be presented until the last of the
ten days allowed the President under
the Constitution for the consideration of
the Bill.
—The New York Times says: “Mons.
Auguste Buislay, a gymnast, went up in
a balloon from Elm Park, and performed
some very difficult feats upon a trapeze
pendant therefrom. or seven
thousand feet in the air he was overtaken
by a rain storm, the balloon became wet
and heavy, and began to descend. When
over the Hudson river, and sixty feet in
the air, the balloonist sprang from his air
ship into the river, fearing to get entan
gled if both came down together. He
swam for the New York shore, and was
finally picked up, when nearly exhausted,
by a small boat which had put for his
relief. He will repeat the experiment.
