Private Hotels.
Mike has made several important discov
eries in his recent raid through the South
west. He says he has just fouud out what
a “ private hotel ” is. He has found sev
eral of them in his travels, and they are
truly very peculiar institutions.
lie say 9 their bells aud gongs make as
much clatter as if there was really some
thing on the table to call the public to,
but when ono gets there, he sees nothing
but empty plates. Presently the waiters
will be seen dispensing different articles of
provender—pretty generally to the milita
ry gentlemen with stars and bars oa their
collars, and when you ask them to give you
“ some o’ that, what that feller’s got,” the
waiter will look at you just ae a faro deal
er does when ho “rakes down your pile,”
looks as if he had “ chewed ” you, and. in
nocently says:
“ That’s private, sir ! ”
v Then you look around to see what else
might suit your taste, and you see another
chap with eggs. You think, “ eggs are
common enough, dear knows ”
“ Well, give me some eggs, then. ”
“ Dein’s private, too, sir. I)e gemman
fetch ’em here, and we cook 'em for him.”
“ Give me some potatoes, then; I sup
pose they're not private,” . I said, loud
enough to attract all the eyes around the
table.
“ Yes, massa, deal's private, too —but I
kin gib you some corn breads —an ,an

Grapo Canister. and Shell. j
Grape consists of nine shot arranged in ]
three layers, which vary in size according
•to the calibre of the gun; they are held
together bv two plates of about one-four
teenth of an inch lees diam ter than the
calibre of the gun, two rings, a bolt and a
nut. The canvas bag arrangement is too j
chi for this war ;it ia not so simple ’or j
durable, and has not been used for years. j
Canister ibr a gun contains twenty-seven j
email cast-iron balls arranged in four lay- i
ors, the top oi six. the remainder of seven ■
each; for a howitzer it contains forty-eight j
small iron balls, in four layers of twelve
1 .each; for the same calibre you will see !
that the balls for canister is a tin cylinder,
Closed at the bottom by a thick cast-iron
pi\te or a wooden sabot, and at the top by ;
a sbeet-iron plate, with a handle attached ;
the interstices between the bails are closely
packed with saw-dust, to prevent crowding
when the piece is fired. Shrapnel consists
of a very ibin shell, which is filled with
musket balls \ the interstices are then fill
ed by pouring melted sulphur; a hole ia
theu bored through the mass of sul
phur and bullets i’o receive the -bursting
charge. Now to explain the difference be
tween a “shrapnel” >N “spherical case”
aud a “ shell.” The doetructive force of
a shrapnel is what it receives from the
charge in the gun, the powdeV in the shrap- j
nel being only to break the envelope aud j
spread the balls, they still moving forward
by force of the impulse.they received from !
the charge in the gun. ■ A shell is made j
very much thicker than the envelope <»f a
shrapnel, and is nearly filled with powury,
and will do great execution if it explodes
on the ground, it having destructive qual- i
ities iu itself, aside from the discharge of
the gun. A shrapnel shell has only half
of the charge of powder that a shell prop
er has; thus a twenty-four pounder shrap
nel contains one hundred aud seventy-five
musket balls and six ounces of powder.
A twenty-four pounder shell has twelve
ounces of powder.
“ Alabama ” is said to signify, in the
Indian language, “ Here we. rest.” A sto
ry is told of a tribe of Indians who fled
from a relentless foe into the thickest for
est in the South-west. Weary and travel
worn they reached a noble river which
flowed through a beautiful country. The
j chief of the band stuck his tent pole iu
the ground and exclaimed, “ Alabama, Al- \
abama, here we shall rest, here we shall
l reel ! ” 1
. Diptheria.
A physician of distinguished ahility gives
us the following facts concerning this much
dreaded disease:
Ist. In its nature, it is not a local affec
tion, as is usually supposed, but constitu
tional, pervading the blood of the whole
system before it makes its appearance m
any part. It is of a nature kindred to ery
sipelas, and though epidemical, is notatriet
ly speaking infectious.
2d. Its most manifest symptom is a false
meuibranee, of a white color which forma
upon and around the tonsils, near the pal
ate, and which thickens and extends, unless
checked, until the patient dies from suffo
cation. This false membrane is, however,
not confined to the throat, but may aorm
timc%.be seen upon the hand or arm, or in
any offter place where the akin has been
removed.
3d. Among the cautions to be observed
are the following: Avoid all medicines and
niodos ot treatment which shall exhaust
the strength, and bo careful notSo injure
the skin by blisters or counterirritants, par
ticularly in the neighborhood of the throat
4th. To effect its cure, &iui to restore as
rapidly and effectively us possible, the pa
tient’s waning strength. For this purpose,
let the cKot be of the most nutrious char
, aoter, chicken soup, beef tea, etc. Give
freely of egg-nog, made of good whisky,
or use the stimulant in any other way that
will combine nourishment with stimulation
Add to the general strength by the use of
mineral tonics, of which none is better than
muriate of iron, which may be ad mistered
as largely as ten drops every two or throe
boms, for an adult. Between the doses
of iron give from live to fifteen grains of
chlorate (not ehlorid) of polish', or of so
da. The chloride of may be used an
an antiseptic gargle, but best gargle ia com
mon salt.
If the disease gives signs of periodicity,
by regular remissions aud accessions, then
bring to your aid the grea,t anti periodio
quinine.
