Expcrluieiitiiin* I believe 1 have mentipned my efirly friend and class mate, the oracular Sallie B., —famous for trying fortunes, and en tering heart and soul into any mischief we school-girls might concoct, for opr own edification and Qimisement. 1 must tell you something more about her. One long, hot summer’s afternoon, when Betty, Ellen, Sallie and I, had come out decidedly minus in the knowledge of “re ducing a fraction to its lowest and our teacher, in return, had locked us up In the K apparatus room,” which, by the-by, was as often used for that pur pose as for chemical experiments, Sallie told us mysteriously she had “ found out anew way to try fortunes,” and pro posed that we should all stay with her that night and take a peep into our fu ture destinies. To this proposition there was not a dissenting voice. Ghost stc. ries were wile away the tedious hour we were to be kept in “ durance vile.” Qur small stock was soon exhausted, however, and having no other means of entertainment, we con cluded to experiment a little with a small galvanic battery which we espied qp a lower shelf. No sooner thought of than operations commenced, To lift it from the shelf, place it on the floor and open it, was easy work. Sallie, who had seen the battery tried repeatedly for rheuma tism in her mother’s family, and under standing it better thAn the rest of us, was unanimously elected chief operator. After uncorking and peeping into half a dozen black bottles, she stooped and poured a quantity of blue liquid into the informing us at the same time that it wa9 a solution of bfaestane and copperas. The battery was soon pretty heavily charged, and the wires trembled with electricity. Ellen had just com plained of headache, and Sallie offered her the first shock. EJllen advanced and knelt. Sallie took up a cork to which was attached a wire and metal, and plac ing it in Ellen’s hand, she took up the other cork and immediately clapped it to Ellen’s temple. It had the happy effect of making that young lady yell like an un tamed Indian ! And such a yell!—itdeaf ened us! —itrushed through the key-hole, startlrd the school, and astonished the teacher, who rose hurriedly, unlocked the door, and stood before us! I never will forget the puzzled expression on the countenance of dear, good old Mr. M., as he glanced rapidly at the battery and the four culprits around it, and the change that took place in his look and manner when he fully cornpi ehended the scene. We were hadly frightened and confused. He observed this, and quietly remarked, “ Young ladies, are you in the h abit of amusing yourselves in such a very shocking manner ?” Sallic at tempted an excuse : “ If you please, sir, Ellen complained of a headache, and I undertook to galvanize her for it.”—■ “Ilem ! Galvanize her, hey ? I’ll put this machine out of your reach, young ladies, and woe be unto her who touches any other apparatus in this room. Do you hear that, young ladies?” We ac knowledged we did. “Galvanize her indeed ! 1 sometimes wish you girls in Ireland, you worry me so!” “A very kind wish, sir, such weather as this,’ politely replied Ellen, fanning herself with her apron. “1 guess we’d feel very ICK dated (isolated) there, sir,” put in Betty, who never oould resist the tempta tion to pun, no matter how bad the pun might be. “No doubt! no doubt!” said the teacher, looking at Betty with a merry twinkle in his eye ; then walking to the door, he turned, and resumed : “ You will oblige me, young ladies, by remaining in this room the remainder of the afternoon, and I would advise you to keep still, 1 shall send your slates and books, so that you can employ your selves better than galvanizing /” lie then left the room and fulfilled his prom ise, much to our chagrin and mortifica tion, for we knew very well that our teacher intended for us to study, and in tended to be obeyed, too, although his words were mild and g**utle—more like he w is asking a favor than giving a oom* mand. The afu-Mioou came to an end at last, as all afternoons do. School was dis missed, our prison door unbolted, and we went home with Sallic, as previously agreed. It was just one hour before midnight wfien Sal lie, who had left ihe room h moment before, re appeared, and placed on a table near two case knives and two eggs. She left the room again, and nga'n returned with a small boiler and a tea oup full of salt. We all occupied one room in the lower story that oontained two beds, “ There is just an even num ber of us,” said Sallie—“ two couples. Each couple must act in concert without speaking a word. Indeed, there must be no speaking until morning. Whoever speaks, they break th.U charm hanging over (heir pwtt particular fortune; but pot those of the others. So long as we don’t speak just so long we will be un der the influence of—of—er—l’ll be dogged if I kv.ow exactly whatj but something ! Y°M understand, though—~ we musn’t talk. Each couple will take up an egg, put it in the boiler, and when it boils take it out and cut it in half. Each person takes a half, throws out the yellow, peels the white, fiils the cavity full of salt, eats it and goes to bed. You will be sure to dream that somebody hands you a drink of water— if it is handed in a gourd you will marry a poor man ; if in a tin, a man in easy circumstances ; if in a glass, he will be wealthy We maintained a profound silence, and followed Sallie’s directions implicit ly. As soon as we had fopoed ourselves to swallow the unpalatable mess, the clock struck twelve, we blew out the light and Tetired, 1 do not know how long I had been asleep, when 1 awoke with a shudder and an unpleasant faint ness. 1 turned over, and fell into a doze, and awoke as before, 1 turned over again. It did me no good. 1 sat up in the bed and felt no better—worse, if pos sible. I was greatly nauseated. I groan ed once—twice —thrice; then finally gasped. “Oh Sallie, I’m jo sick A faint titter under the bed clothes was the only reply I received. “Sallie— Ellen—Betty!” No reply. “Sallie, please get up and give me a glass of sweet milk.” Sallie drew up md gave me kick that almost landed me on the floor. “ Sallie, where are the match es und the keys, Q—h! Til get the milk. Oh dear!” No reply from Sal lie, but another kick. I could stand it no longer; but, springing from the bed, I staggered, rather than walked, to the back door, threw it open and took a seat on the lower step. No emetic ever had better effect. I lost my fortune and felt relieved, but still too sick to go back to bed. I laid down on the floor with my head in the door, and the cool night breeze fanned me to sleep, amid sup pressed giggling from my indefatigable room-mates. When 1 awoke the day was far ad vanced, and the girls were laughing and chattering over what they were pleased to term :ny “ last night’s spree.” I did not enjoy it then, for my throat was sore, and I could scarcely speak from hoarseness. “That’s what you get for lying all night in the door,” said Sallie, alluding to my hoarseness. “ That’s what you get L>r talking, and breaking the charmsaid Ellen. “That’s what you get for getting sick,” chimed in Betty. “ No, that’s what 1 get for try ing my fortune, I never will eat another egg. What did you all dream?”— “Nothing,” said Ellen. “I dreamed,” said Betty, “that I was sucking up water out of a mud-puddle with a parcel of hogs!” “I had a night-mare,” said Sallie, quietly. “ Indeed,” I replied, “1 suppose that’s what made you kick so !” An hour after school was taken in wo all became inmates of the apparatus room again, with a modest request from the teacher to have our last night’s les sons perfect before he opened the door. And we did. MOLLIE MYRTLE. The water which drowns us, a fluent stream, can be walked upon as ice. The bullet which, when fired from a musket, carries death, will be harmless if ground to dust before being fired. The crystal ized part of the oil of roses so graceful in its fragrance—a solid at ordinary tem peratures, though readily volatile—is a oompound substance, containing exactly the same elements, and in exactly the same proportions, as the gas with which we light our streets. The tea which we daily drink, with benefit and pleasure, produces palpitations, nervous trem blings, and even paralysis, if taken in excess ; yet the peculiar organic agent called theine, to which tea owes its qual ities, may be taken by itself (as theine, not as tea) without any appreciable effect. The water which will allay our burning thirst, augments it when congealed into snow ; so that Capt. Ross declares that the natives of the arotio regions “ prefer enduring the utmost extremity of thirst rather than attempt to remove it by eat ing snow,” Yet if the snow be melted, it beoomes drinkable water, when melted in the mouth it has the opposite effect. To render this paradox more striking, ‘V,- have only to remember that ice, which melts more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in allaying thirst.— Black wooa. “ Mother, Sing Jerusalem. ’’ The last words of beautiful boy who died in Boston a few years since. A child lay in a twilight room, “With pallid, waxen face ; , A little child whose tide of life Had nearly run its race. Moat holy robes the angels brought, By holy spirit given, Ready to wrap the child In them And carry him to heaven. And shining wings, with olaspa of light, Two shining wings they bore, To fasten on the seraph child, Boon as the strife was o'er. Ferobanoe their beauty made him think Os some harmonious word, That often from his mother’s lips The dying one had heard, It might be, tor she whispered low, “ Sing, mother, sing,” and smiled ; The humane knelt beside the couch— “ What shall I sing my child ?” “Jerusalem, my happy home,” The gasping boy replied, And sadly sweet the clear notes rang Upon the even tide: “ Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labors have an end, In joy and peace in thee?” And on she sang, and breaking hearts Beat slow, unequal time— She felt the passing of the soul, With that triumphant chime, “ O, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend ?” Thev saw the shadow of the grave With his sweet beauty blend. “ Why should I shrink at pain and woe, “ Or feel at death's dismay ?” The ceased—the angels bore the ohlld To realms of endless day. Ths Useful and Beautiful. — The tomb of Moses is unknown ; but the traveller slakes his thirst at the well of Jacob. The gorgeous palace of the wealthiest and wisest of monarch*, with the cedar, and gold, and ivory, and even the great Temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of the Deity him* self, are gone, but Solomon’s reservoirs are as perfect as ever. Os the ancient architectuary of the Holy City, uot one atone is left upon another ; but the pool of Bethesda commands the pilgrim’* rev erence at the present day. The columns x>f Persepolis are mouldering into dust; but its cisterns and aqueducts remain to challenge our admiration. The golden house of Nero is a mass of ruins ; but the Aqua Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid stream. The temple of the sun atTadmor in the wilderness, has fallen; but its fountains sparkle as freshly in his rays, as when thousands of worship pers thronged its lofty colonnades. It may be that London will share the same fate of Babylon, and nothing be left to mark its site save mounds of crumbling brick-work. The Thames will continue to flow as it does now. And if any work of art should rise over the deep ocean of time, we may well believe that it will be neither a palace nor a temple, but some vast acqueduct or reservoir; and if any name should flash through the midst of antiquity, it will probably be that of a man who in his day sought the happiness of his fellow-men rather than their glory, and linked his name to some great work of national utility and benev- olenee. This is the true glory which outlives all other, and shines with undy ing lustre from generation to generation : imparting to works some of its immor tality, and in some degree rescuing them from the min which overtakes the ordi nary monuments of historical tradition, or mere magnificence.— Edinburgh Re view. From the Chickasaw & Choctaw Herald. An old Story In anew Ureas. DT r. E. PIKER. “ I tell U u twaa told to me.” Avery long time ago, in the western part of England, there lived an aged couple, whose time had passed away since early youth, in the everyday round of farm life, and who had never been known to have the least ill-feeling towards each other since the time when good old Parson Heriot had uni ted them in the holy bonds of wedlock, twenty-five years before. So well was the fact of their conjugal happiness known, that they were spoken of, far and near, as the happiest pair known. Now, the Devil (ex cuse the abrupt mention of his name,) had been trying for twenty years to create what is commonly called “ a fuss in the family,” between these old companions. But, much to his mortification, he had not been able to induce the old gentleman to grumble about breakfast being too late, once, or the old lady to give a single curtain lecture. After repeated efforts, the Devil became discour aged, and had he not been a person of great determination, he would doubtless have giv en up the work in despair. One day as he was walking along, in a very surly mood, after another attempt to get the old lady to quarrel about the pigs getting into the yard, he met an old woman, a near neighbor of the aged couple. As Mr. Devil and the neighbor were very particular friends, they must needs stop on the way to chat a little. “ Good morning, sir,” said she, “and pray what on earth makes you look so badly, this beautiful morning; isn’t the controversy be tween tiie churches doing good service ?” “Yes, isn’t Deacon W. making plenty of bad whisky ?” “ Well, what ia the matter, my highly honored master ?” “Everything is going on well enough,” replied the Devil, “but,” and here he looked as sour as a monkey on a crab-apple tree, “ old Blueford and his wife, over here, are injuring the cause terribly by their bad ex ample, and after trying for years to induce them to do better, I must say that I consid er them hopeless.” The old hag stood for a moment in deep thought. “Are you sure that you have tried every way?” “ Every one I can think of.” “Are you oertain ?” “ Yes.” “ Well,” replied she, if you promise to make me a present of anew pair of shoes, in case I suooeed, I will make the attempt myself, and see if I can’t raise a quarrel be tween them.” To this reasonable request the Devil gladly assented. The old hag went her way to neighbor Blueford's house, and found old Mrs. Blueford very busily engaged in get ting things ready for her husband’s comfort ou his return from work. After the usual compliments had passed, the following dia logue took place: , “ Well, friend 8., you and Mr. B. have lived a long time together.” “ Five and twenty years, come nexL No vember,” replied Mrs. B. “ And in all that time you have never had the least quarrel.” “ Not one.” “ I am truly glad to hear it, but,” contin ued the hag, “I consider it my duty to warn you, that though this is the case, yet you must not expect it to be always. Have you not observed that of late Mr. B. has grown peevish and sullen at times?” “Avery little so,” observed Mrs. Blue ford. “ 1 knew it,” continued the hag, “ and let me warn you in time to be on your guard.” Mrs. B. did think she had better do so, and asked advice as to how she ought to manage the case. “ Have you not noticed,” said the hag, “ that your husband has a bunch of long, coarse hair growing on a mole under his chin, on the side of his throat ?” “ Yes.” “ These are the cause of the trouble, and as long as they remain you had better look out. Now, as a friend, I would advise you to cut them off the first time you get a chance, and thus end the trouble.” “ If you say so, I will do it,” replied the credulous old lady. Soon after this the hag started for home, and made it convenient to jueet Mr. B. on the way. Much the same talk in relation to his domestic happiness, passed between them as did between her and the old woman. “ But, triend Blueford,” said she, “I think it my duty as a Christian, to warn you to be on your guard, for I tell you that your wife intends your ruin.” Old Mr. B. was very much astonished, yet he could not wholly discredit her words. When be reached home he threw himself upon a bed in great perplexity, and feigning sleep, studied over the matter in his own mind. His wife thinking this a good oppor tunity for cutting off the obnoxious hair, took her husband’s razor and crept softly to his side. Now, the old lady wa9 very much frightened at holding a razor so close to her husband's neck, and ber band was not so steady as it once was ; so, between the two, she went to work very awkardly, and pull ed the bain instead of cutting them off— Mr. B. opened liis eyes, and there stoo l his wife with a razor at his throat! After what had been told him, and seeing this, she could not dou’t that she intended to murder him. He sprang from the bed in horror, and no explanation or entreaty could convince him to the contrary. So, from that day forth, there was no more peace for that house.— It was jaw, jaw, quarrel and wrangling all the time. With delight the Devil heard of the suc cess of his faithful emissary, and sent her word that if she would meet him at the end of the lawn, at a certain time, he would pay her the shoes. At ,the appointed time, she repaired to the spot and found the Devil at the place. He put the shoes on a long pole, and stand ing on the opposite side of the fence, hand ed them over to her. She was very much pleased with them, they were exactly the article. “But, there is one thing, Mr. Devil, that I would like to have explained : that is, why you hand them to me on that stick ?” “Very easy to explain,” replied he, “any one who has the cunning and meanness to do as you have done, don't get nearer than twenty feet of me /” So saying, he fled in terror. After awhile the old woman died, and when she applied for admittance to the low er regions, the Devil would not let her in, fear she might dethrone him, as she was so much his superior. So the old woman is yet compelled to wander over the world, creating quarrels and strifes in peaceful fam ilies and neighborhoods. Would you know her name ? It is Madam Scandal. When r dit and, her children, the young Scandalt 7E 1 were left orphans, but the Devil, in consideration of past services done by the mother, adopt ed them, and as you see, he is the father of that respectable class called scandal mongers• The IT. States Claiming quick* sliver Itflues worth $40,000.* 000. A suit has been commenced by the Uni ted States Circuit Court for California, to re cover the New Alraaden quicksilver mines, situated in Santa Clara county. The prop erty is worth $40,000,000, and the annual profits about one million dollars. This suit may be considered one of the most gigantic ever commenced in America, and will in volve litigation for a number of years. The mines are now held, worked and enjoyed by John Parrott, banker, of this city ; Henry W. Halleck, fermerly Captain of the Topo graphical Engineers, and now a member of an eminent law firm; Jas. R. B dton, Wm. E. Barrow, John Young and Robert Walk inshaw, The United States claim the grant made originally as a fraud, and that the de fendants are intruders and have no right to the mines. A prayer ia made in the bill for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the land, to receive the rents and profits, and work, lease and mauage the mine; that defendants be enjoined from interfering fur ther with the lands, and they be held to ac count for all th# ore and qu'cksilver con verted to their own use and for all waste done the land. On the 9th of this month the argument will he heard before Judge McAllister, on the application for the ap pointment of a receiver and the issuaaceof an injunction. The District Court of the United States lias been for years engaged in hearing testi mony on behalf of the claimants for the mine. Volumes of evidence have been ta ken, and it is only a week since that the examination of Alexander Forbes, a witness for the United States, terminated. The suit is now taken out of the jurisdiction of the latter court, and the question to be tried is, whether the original grant was not a forgery, and, in such event, that this quick silver mine, value forty million dollars, and the profits received by defendants since it came into their possession—averred to be eight million dollars—should not be trans ferred and paid over to the United States. The final disposition of this case has in terest to the people of the entire country. If the United States is successful, property of the value mentioned passes into its pos session, but if it ends adversely to the plain tiff, an expenditure of several hundred thou sand dollars in the way of legal expenses will be the consequence. In tLe meantime, if an Injunction issue and a receiver is ap pointed, one million dollars annually will be paid into court. Mammoth Trees in California. On the 23J and 24th of June I visited the celebrated Mammoth Tree Grove, in Calaveras county, accompanied by brother J. D. B'.ain and brother 11. Bland and lady We reached the grove at four, P. M., on the 23d, and put up at the 11 Mammoth Tree Grove House,’’ the only public, indeed, the only dwelling house at the grove. The ac commodations were satisfactory. A semi weekly paper, entitled the Big Tree Bulletin and Murpity s Advertiser, is edited and print ed on the stump of what is called the big tree, though it is not by any meai.s the largest tree in the grove. There are ninety six of those wonderful trees in a circuit of about one mile. These trees do not stand alone, but in a forest of large trers, gener ally pine and cedars. They are truly won derful, and, like our great lakes, one must see them fully to appreciate their vast di mensions. Sugar pines, eight feet in diame ter, and more than two hundred feet high, standiug in the near neighborhood of these wonderful growths, seem mere saplings iu comparison. “Tne Father of the Forest,” lies in stately gran leur on the ground, hav ing been blown down nobody knows when, his huge torm measuring one hundred and wro. an. twelve feet in circumference, and by esti mate four hundred and fifty feet in length. I say by estimate, for the top is broken off, three hundred feet from the root But as the tree is eight feet in diameter where it is broken, it is reasonably supposed, judging from the general taper, that one hundred and fifty feet must be added to complete its length. “ The Mother of the Forest” ex cites commiseration. There she stands de nuded of her bark, one hundred and twenty feet from the ground. This was done about four years ago, and yet, so tenacious is she of life, a few green tuffs still adorn her head. The framework of the scaffolding is still standing, and the spiral stairway, form ed by large pins driven into the tree. We did not ascend this stairway, as the gentle manly conductor thought the pins might not be reliable. “ The Big Tree” was cut or rather bored down some timo ago. The leveled stump forms the floor of an arbor, in which, as stated above, is the editing and printing office of the Big Tree Bulle tin. The but log, some thirty feet long lies on the ground, and is ascended by a neat stairway of twenty-six steps. The trees are perhaps all named. Besides those above mentioned, there are “The Two Guards,” “The Three Graces,” “The Twins,” “ Hercules,” “The Hermit,” “The Beauty of the Forest,” etc. Some take the names of the several States and of onr distin guished men. “ Winfield Scott is a tree of most noble dimensions and proportions, and mostly grandly represents the noble chieftain whose name it bears. But enough about the big trees. —Bishop Scott's Letters’ Snuff Dipping. —We clip the following from a North Carolina exchange: There are, perhaps, in our State, one hun dred and twenty-five thousand women, leav ing out of the account those who have not cut their teeth, and those who have lost them from age. Os this number, eighty per cent, may be safely set down as snuff dippers.— Every five of these will use up a two ounce pnper of snuff per day—that is, the one hun dred thousand dippers, two thousand five hundred pounds per day, amounting in one year to the enormous quantity of nine hun dred and twelve thousand pounds. In this number of snuff dippers is included all ages, colors and conditions, from Dinah in tfie kitchen to the mistress in the parlor—from the litt’e miss of four years old to her old grunty grandmama, who has but two snags in her head. lam glad there are some of both black and whi'e who are above the nasty practice, included in the twenty per cent, which I have excepted. Think of the effects of this habit. Os these dippers, sixteen hundred marry every year, thus palming that number of sickly carcasses upon a like number of the sterner sex to pay doctor’s bills for, during the re mainder of their lives. Snuff is a greater curse than liquor in those places where it is used as a dentrifice. We are no li*tle astonished at the state ment, and must believe it an exaggeration. We have olten heard of dipping as very prevalent in Texas, but we are convinced that North Carolina can beat us out and out. Judging from what we have seen in our travels in different sections, we believe 25 per cent, of the women of Texas would be a la'ge estimate of those addicted to this vice. And as the ladies, not ten per cent, of them ever use the noxious “stick.” Those that do are as easily distinguished as a bloat ed drunkard among gentlemen. Those who have seen the sallow complexion, the wan look, the premature wrinkles, the faded countenance which the “ dipper” of a few years addiction to the habit is sure to pos sess, cannot be mistaken. It is a practice which should be frowned upon by all. Between “dipping” and in temperance, by all means give us the latter. It lowers a woman from the creature of pu rity, one to be loved for all that is womanly, delicate, refined and beautiful, to a ! supply the word, reader, for we cannot.— What, a beautiful girl, with a smooth, fair brow, delicately-pencilled eye-brows, spark ling eye, a cheek in which the rose and the lily strive for predominance and mingle in the perfection of loveliness, lips of ruby closing in dewy gentleness over pearls which vie in beauty with the richest of the oriental sea, to daub filthy Scotch snuff upon ber teeth, until her brain is giddy, and squirt the juice upon the floor—faugh! augh !! augb!!! John, quick, hand here the basin.— Houston ( TYxas) Telegraph. Odd Fellows’ Thanksgiving Day. —The Uuited States Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, at the recent session in this city, adopted the proposition “to set apart the 26tti day of April, 1859—the fortieth anniversary of the organization of the order —to be observed by the Grand Lodge of the United States as a day of thanksgiving to Divine Providence for the unexampled prosperity which has at tended the order since its organization on the American continent.” The city of New York was selected for the place of this na tional jubilee, and committees appointed who are charged with the details. This will be a magnificent display. On a like celebration in Boston, several years ago, ten thousand Odd Fellows marched in processiou.

Some musical publisher or teacher once wrote or said “that the art of playing on the violin required the nicest preception and the most delicate sensibility of any art in the known world.” Some country editor com menting on the same, says “The art of pub lishing a country newspaper and making it pay, beats the art of fiddling higher than a kite.
