(lie delicious fruit known as the man- gostPen, which persons wh • h iw vis- ted Ceylon, Java, or the southeast of Asia must remember td have eaten .with pleasure. -It is claimed that some plan 1ms been devis’d to keep ilu* fruit during its long voyage. The maiig* stec-n, native to the Mo lucca Islands, although grown in many purls of the East, resembles in size and shape an orange. The rind is like.that.,of the pomegranate, hut thicker, softer, and jnoier, Green ut first, it changes to a dark brown with Jellowish spots;-the insidiyof a rosy -hue, being divided by thin partitions into several cells in which the seeds lie, surrounded by a soft succulent pulp, tasting like a combination of grape and strawberry. It can be ea ten without inconvenience in any quantity, and is the sole fruit which physicians permit their patients to 'like. Indeed, it is recommended as very .wholesome, and has the happy mixttteof bout and sweet that is so appetizing as to prevent satiety. The leaves of the tree are entire, some seven or eight inches long, Ca pering at the endB, of a bright green jibove, and an olive color beneath. The blp?8pin looks like a single rose, and has four dark red roundish pe tals. It is not improbable tlint the mangosteen might be domesticated in Flo nil a rtnd Southern California since it seems to need only hot weather in order to flourish; and if it could be domesticated, it would be n. great addition to our many varie ties of delicious fruit. The quinine monopoly is about to be investigated. We are glad to hear that a petition is in circulation in some of the Western citizens to be presented to congress at its approaching session, praying for the abolition of the present, exorbi tant duly on quinine. It x is stated that under, the present tariff law the enormous duty of one dollar and lour cents is imposed on every dol lar’s worth of quinine imported into the United States. feThere are but wo manufacturers of this valuable rug in this country, and the result is, that being protected from all for eign competition by the enormous Federal tax, they have a complete monopoly of this trade, and do not hesitate to enrich themselves through the necessities of the people, during the late fearful epidemic the price of quinine and cinohonidia have risen The PleaHtire of ‘'Hoarding; Around.” Dr. Mc.elltu)/ Inspector of Schools for Ontario, 1 atii recent meet ing ol the Wellaqq T'eachers’ Asso- oiation, gave his hearers the follow-,, ing mnijiieoehcofl <>f “boarding around, ’ uk-pniutioird nearly ageaei'-l atioh ugd: When liPfirst began teach ing,' in' 1849, Ills"Hilary was ub(V\W $180 a year, uud lij? didn’t even get all that to ibis dumiesidee “boarding around.” lie related bis experience at the latter ttf tlie Mmuscment of' tin* audience.

[Lmgtiti r.] Boil iny for Yellow Fever* The home of a poor washerwoman on L e street (a widow and the mother o! limit children) was in vaded by the yellow fever, and all of her children were al tucked within twenty-four hours. Having hud ex perience in*nursing yellow fever, she determined to dispense wiih the ser- ices of a physician, and immediately administered the usual purgatives and placel the little ones in bed, Well covered with blankets’. She succeeded in inducing per- spiruiiou in thrwe of her patients, hut the fourth and youngest one she could not manage. The pores re mained closed ami the skin dry. She tried every tiling—mustard loot-bath hot drinks and old drinks—hut all her efforts were unsuccessful. Stepping into the yard for a mo ment, the implements of her profes sion (the wash-boiler and tubs) met her views, and instantly a thought suggested itsell to her mind which she at once acted • upon. Procuring a furnace she started a fire and ) 11- ced it in the room, and returning, half filled the wash-boiler with water, placing it on the fire. She then took the little one from the bed and sat it in the boiler, allowing it to remain there until it was nearly parboiled, and retjirned it to its bed. A neighbor, who had been told of her unavailing efforts, asked her how the children ( Were. After ax- plaining her modus.cperandi of in ducing perspiration, she wound up with the remark, “That fetched her.” All her little ones recovered.

That's the way you can ti ll a hog from u pig.” • ‘‘Does a pig root with his feet?” “No—-lie roots with his nose. A pig’s nose is called a snout.

Ilu goes hungry because the hired girl happens lo grind up pepper with the coffee.” “The cackling of geese, you said once, saved Koine. Did the grunt'* ing of pigs ever save anything?” “Nothing that we know of, but pig’s heels have often eaved his ba con.” “Do pigs ever attack children ?” “Once in a great while. If a pig had gone into politics and got beaten aud oilier pigs were shoving him around and calliu him an idiot and so forth, he might be tempted to bile a small boy who was sticking kernels of corn on a cast-iron cob to deceive him and break oft* bis teeth.” “Cun pigs climb ?” “Yes.

The y iar 1878 will be u memorable one iu the initials of hunm- misery. Famine an pestilence have done their own work in some of the most popu lous regions inhabited by mankind. India and China have been devasta ted by both, War has added its ter rors to scourge and starvation. The yellow fever, which has afflicted the South, is mild by comparison with the outbreak of cholera, small-pox and malignant fever now carrying death into all parts of the Empire of Morocco. Such widespread miseries inrely manifest themselve. Our planet must have wandered into the o< fin puny of evil stars. No head of a family performs his whole duty, unless he keeps on hand a supply of Dr. Harter’s incompara ble remedies.

Tin rc'uFe out very b w people who ever wear out, but i «iv are' any quantity of (hem who mat and ioi out. It is so easy for some p -ople to ad vise other folks to sit down in udent- ist’s chair and have a big double tooth jerked out, that I have often wondered why they didn’t sit down ami have one jerked out themselves just, lot 1 the fun of the tiling. Young man, sit down and keep still; you will have plenty of chan ces yet to make a tool of yourself be« fore you die. I always thought it was better for a man to invest his re ligion iu his business rather than his business iu his religion. It pays to be polite, even to a mule, not so much on the mule’s account nS bn your own. A'hy inati can In* a first-class gen tleman In half the time it, lakes lo make a third-rate loafer of himself. Politeness is us cheap as cold water, and he who gives his brother a drink ol cither “will in no wis- lose his re ward.” As we grow wiser and have more to say. we talk less. There always has been and there always will be, fools enough to sup port any cunningly executed hum bug. Patience and laziness are some times confounded, Mid the mistaken! not unnutuial, for 1 often notice that those who have a good deal of either have a fair supply of the other. 1 have finally c une to the conclu sion thut if 1 can’t proven thing without betting $50 omit, thu tiling lias got a dleidlul weak spot in it somewhere. J am no prophet, nor the sou of one, but 1 bet this—the man who matches himself against the devil at any kind of a game is going to gel beat. Stabbed Himself Itntlicr Than YYork. About the 17th of October Joseph Wilkinson, colored, was convicted in the United States Circuit Court ol passing counterfeit coin, and Judge Hughes sentenc'd him to three months’ imprisonment aud hard la bor. The city jail was sel cted as the place of imprisonment. This morning Captain Wilkinson, the su perintendent of the chain gang, or dered him out of liis cell to go (o work in the chain gang. The pris oner re!used to do sj on the ground thut he was u prisoner of the United Suites, and the State of Virginia had no right to make him work on the streets of the city of Richmond, and he swore he would kill the first man who entered his cell. Captain Wil kinsou drew lus pistol aud opened the cell door, wheu the prisoner throw a pop bottle at him, and ad vancing towards the door with a knife in his hand and une at his side said: “Shoot me.” Captain Wilkinson, seeing that thn prisoner wanted him to shoot, put up his pis tol and ordered the hose to be bro’t, (the hose used by the prison authori ties to duck obstreperous prisoners.) Tlw prisoner, as soon as he heard the older, swore he would not be taker; out, and wilh an oath jumped out of the cel! and plunged the knife which he had in Ins hand into his rig lit side several times. Captain Wilkinson seized him and had him removed up stairs. Dr. Beale, the surgeon of the jail, whs sent for, and upon examination found six wounds upon his body. None of them, however, were serious. He was placed iu the sick ward for treatment. Corruption in our National affairs has the same effect on the Govern ment that a severe cough or cold has upon tiie human system.
