INTROSPECTION.
Why have we grown so weary and sad,
Oh, heart that never was tired before?
What have we lost that made life glad
That the seasons will bring to us no more?
I cannot tell why the beautiful time
Of budding blossoms and siDging birds
Has never wakened a song from me,
Or even the tribute of thankful words.
Something I miss from the sky of May:
The lark sings not as he sang of yore—
The sky spems faded and far away,
Too chill for the birds to sing and soar.
Something is gone that made life aweet,
Dead and buried beyond recall;
Out of the sky where sunlight smiled
Only the twilight shadows fall.
Nev<*r a song for the happy May,
That used to blossom under my feet;
Never a smile for the glad green earth.
And the meadows spangled with daises sweet.
We have learned the lesson of life, my heart,
And we are so tWd of heavy tears.
How can the May-time seem as fair
As it used to seem in the bygone year* ?
How can we choose but sit and dream.
With a hopeful smile, of a time to be
When all that is bitter will be forgot,
Aud the daises will ned over you and me ?
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Jelly Boll. —Take three eggs, one
cup of sugar, one cup of flour, one ta
blespoonful of butter, four teaspoonfnls
of water, two teaspoonfnls of baking
powder, one teaspoonful of lemon.
Valley SroNGE- cake. —Take four
teen eggs, of which use only seven of
the yelks, one pound of sugar, half a
pound of flour, one lemon or a table
spoonful of strong vinegar flavored
w ith extract of lemon. Bake in a quick
oven.
Lemon Pie, —Grated rind and juice of
one lemon, beaten yelks of two eggs,
fonr tablespoonfuls of sugar and one of
melted butter. Bake in one crust; add
a frosting made of the whites of seven
eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar;
bake three minutes.
Silver Cake.— Take one cupful of
sugar, half a cupful of milk, one and a
half cupfuls of flour, half a onpful of
butter, the whites of four, eggs, one
teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half a
teaspoonful of soda. Flavor delicately,
if you choose, with bitter almond or
vanilla.
To Dress Bice. —A lady recommends
the following: Soak the rice in cold
salt and water for seven hours; have
ready a stew-pan with boiling water;
throw in the rice and let it boil briskly
for ten minutes, and then serve. The
grains will be found double the usual
size, and quite distinct from each other.
Scallopped Tomatoes. —Peel half a
dozen iarge tomatoes, scalding them if
necessary; to the pulp add two table
spoonfuls of crumbled bread; pepper
and salt to the taste ; add an ounce of
butter; put the whole into buttered
scallop-tins and babe for half an hour.
Some like the addition of a little sugar.
Hair Brushes. —To wash hair
brushes, never use soap. Take a piece
of soda, dissolve it in warm water, stand
the brush in it, taking care that the
water only covers the bristles. It will
almost instantly become white and
clean. Place it in the air to dry, with
the bristles downward, and it wiil be as
firm as anew brash.
Custard for Cake.— One pint of new
milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoonful of flour, 1
of corn starch; flavor same as cake,
sweeten to taste, boil until thick in a
tin or earthen vessel, set it in hot water,
when nearly cool spread on all of the
cakes but one, and put together the
same as jelly cake ; cover the top layer
with soft icing.
Golden Cake. —Made precisely as
above, substituting the yelks for the
■whites of eggs, and changing the flavor.
TJse a teaspoonful of extract of lemon,
or the same quantity of powdered mace.
In filling a silver basket, these two vari
eties of cake supplement each other very
nicely, especially if baked in very small
rounding cups, and iced, so as to make
snow balls, which may be cut in half, if
you like.
Bye Gems. —Take ice-cold water, as
for wheat gems, and stir in good rye
meal, entirely unbolted, sifting with
one hand and etirring with the other
until they are of a consistency much
thicker than that required for wheat.
Experiments with a few at first, making
some thicker than others, the last about
as thick as you can stir them, so as to
be snre to get the right consistency be
fore making them for the table. Then
bake them a little more than yon would
wheat, and serve warm or cold, as you
prefer. We like them warm.
Concert Cake.— One and three
quarter pounds of flour, two large table
spoonfuls of butter, grated rind and
ui'ce of lemon, four eggs, two and a
half cupfuls of milk, a very small tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda, three
teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Bub
the butter in the flour, mix in well the
cream of tartar, then the sugar. Beat
the eggs together, dissolve the soda in
the milk; add these two ingredients
last and bake as soon as possible after
ward. Flavor simply with two small
nutmegs or one large one, and add one
pound of dried currants.
Bye and Indian Loaf.— Scald three
pints of very coarse corn meal (as coarse
as that ground for horse feed) with
three pints boiling # water. Add one
gill molasses and three pints of rye
meal (rye Graham); mix well together
very thoroughly, and make into loaves
three or four inches thick. Set on the
stove where it will simmer up and not
burn, and le it stand until it raises
enough to crack all over the surface.
Then put into a moderate oven and
bake three hours, or bake two hours
and steam two hours, or put into a
pretty good even, with a declining fire
at night, and have it ready for break
fast the next morning. Serve warm or
cold—better warm.
To Wash Lace, Etc. —Lace and fine
things should be washed in hot, Boft
water. Well soap them, and squeeze
and shake them out, but on no account
rub them. Repeat the squeezing and
shaking out again till they are clean.
Ilinse them in some more clean hot
water and well soap them again, and
put them into a sauce-pan with enough
hot water to cover them. Soft water is
best, but if that cannot be procured,
add a piece of soda —Bay a quarter of
f.n ounce to half-gallon of water, ac
cording to the hardness of the water.
Boil for half an hour. Then wash them
out again, and rinse in cold blue water.
Hang them out on a clothes horse till
dry, when they can be starched. Lastly,
roll them up in a dry cloth for two
hours, by which time they will be fit to
iron.
Apple Float.— This dessert is espe
cially recommended for use in early
spring, when the housekeeper’s stock of
sweets is apt to run low. Stew one
quart of dried apples, of fair quality,
until perfectly tender and well done,
making them very sweet (half a pound
of sugar will probably suffice), add fla
voring to your taste with some mild
spice or pure extract of lemon. When
the fruit is sufficiently cooked, spread
it on a large flat dish, and mash thor
oughly with a silver fork. Now, while
the fruit cools, beat up as light as pos
sible the whites of eight eggs, and when
they stand up stiff and dry, mix them
with the apples. Serve the float in a
glass bowl, and have ready to use with
it a small pitcher of cream or very rich
milk. With the addition of a basket of
cake this makes a pretty and, to most
persons, acceptable dessert, the greatest
objection made to it being that it disap
points from resembling ice cream too
closely m appearance. If perfectly pre
pared, the color of the float is inviting,
being delicate creamy salmon.
Insect Destroyer.—' The Journal of
Chemistry publishes a recipe for the
destruction of insects, which, If it be
se*half m it is claimed to
be, will prove invaluable. Hot alum
water, it says, will destroy red and black
ants, cockroaches, spiders, chintz-bngs,
and all the crawling pests which infest
our houses. Take two pounds of alum,
and dissolve it in three or four quarts
of boiling water. Let it stand on the
fire till the alnm disappears; apply it
with a brush, while nearly boiling hot,
to every joint and crevice in the floor of
the skirting of mop-boards if yon sus
pect that they harbor vermin. If, in
whitewashing a ceiling, plenty of alum
is added to the lime, it will also serve
to keep insects at a distance. Cock
roaches will flee the paint which has
been washed in cool alum water.
Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawing a chalk mark just
around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it ; but a continuous
chalk mark, half an inch wide, will set
their depredations at naught. Pow
dered alum and borax will keep chintz
bugs at a respectable distance, and
travelers should always carry a package
iu their hand-bags to scatter over and
nnder their pillows in places where
they have reason to suspect the presence
of such bed-fellows.
The Household Terror.
All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that collects
in the space above the oil. When full
of oil, of course a lamp contains no gas,
bat immediately on lighting the lamp
the consumption of oil begins, soon
leaving a space for gass, which com
mences to form as the lamp warms up,
and after burning a short time sufficient
gas will accumulate to produce an ex
plosion. The gas in a lamp will explode
only when ignited. In this respect it
is like gunpowder. Cheap or inferior
oil is always the most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas
in the following manner : The wick
tube in all lamp burners is made larger
than the wick which is to pass through
it. It would not do to have the wick
work tightly in the burner ; on the con
trary, it is essential that it move up
and down with perfect ease. In this
way it is unavoidable that space in the
tube is left along the sides of the wick
sufficient for flame from the burner to
pass down into the lamp and explode
the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the wick-tube and
explode the spirit:
1. A lamp may be standing on a table
or mantel, and a slight puff of air from
an open window, or the sadden opening
of a door, cause an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from a table or mantel, and instantly
explode.
3. A lamp is taken in an entry where
there is a draft, or out of doors, and an
explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight
of stairs, or raised quickly to place it on
a mantel, resulting in an explosion. In
all these cases the mischief is done by
the air movement —either by suddenly
checking the draft or forcing air down
the chimney against the flame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to ex
tinguish the light is a frequent cause of
explosion.
6. Limp explosions have been caused
by using a chimney broken off at top,
or one that has a piece broken out,
whereby the draft is rendered variable
and the flame unsteady.
7. Sometimes a thoughtless person
puts a sraall-sized wick in a larger
burner, thus leaving considerable spaces
in the tube along the edges of the wick
8. An old burner with its air drafts
clogged up, which rigatiully should be
thrown away, is sometimes continued in
use, and the final result is an explosion.
Lost Cow by Shiminy.
Asa rule there isn’t a batter class of
people in the world to deal with than
the Germans, but occasionally you will
find one whose ideas concerning certain
business transactions are amusingly pe
culiar. For instance : A German sub
scriber to the Journal recently called to
advertise a lost cow, and according to
the long established custom of this well
regulated print shop, we immediately
wrote up the notice and figured up the
cost of publication.
“ Vat ish dot ? ” asked our friend,
placing the butt end of his whip on our
little sum of multiplication.
We informed him that it would cost
so much for advertising his lost cow
three weeks.
“ You make me pay for dot ? ”
“ Certainly ; we always take pay for
advertising.”
“ You takes pay, eh? Vel, dat ish
von tarn shwindle. I schribe mit dat
Shournal papers dese tree years, und
now you sharge me yoost for dot leetle
advertise uv mine gow.”
“But we—”
“ You shtop my Shournal bapers.”
“But you—”
“ Shtop mine Shournal pabers, and I
got some more in Daytroy, py shiminy,
und you gome little end dat horn oud.”
“ But, see here, my friend—”
“I go right away und done got
sheated mit you, py krashus. Tink you
got some sleep mit a veasel, dond you?
Sharge me yoost for advertise von gow!
I vas better uv you dond got me med
ven I gome here, und I scribe mit dat
Shournal more as tree years, but you
makes me med und you shtop miEe
bapers before I got it next dime. Dat
ish vat man I am kind uv, py shiminy!”
We tried to explain; we tried in
vain; we lost him and a three-weeks
advertisement of a “lost gow, py
shiminy!”— Lowell Journal.
The Pot Au Fen.
Nothing so well symbolizes the econ
omical habits of continental Europe, and
especially France, as the pot au feu.
This is an iron pot kept constantly sim
mering upon the fire, into which is put
from day to day all the wholesome rem
nants of food which in this country are
thrown away. Our people, in their
magnificent way of doing things, never
stop to consider how much nutriment
adheres even to well-picked bones of
porter house steaks, mutton chops, ribs
of beef, legs of mutton, etc. All these,
and many things beside, are put into
the pot au feu , water, seasoning, and
fragrant herbs are added as required,
and the constant simmering—a solvent
for even the toughest of Texan cattle—
extracts every particle of marrow even,
and the bones come out as clean and
white as if they had been bleaohed for
years in the sun. Among the common
people more than half the nutriment of
the day oomes from the pot au feu , and
if any member of the family comes home
at an unusual hour hungry, it affords at
all times a meal at once warm and whole
some. This explains how, as Mr. Hugh
McCulloch tells us, the forty million of
France could live on what the forty mil
lion of America throw away, and when
we consider the wretched cookery that
prevails in this country, it is not too
much to affirm that they could live
quite as well as do our farmers and day
laborers.
She Owned Niagara Falls, —lt is

Feminine Snobs.
It would seem that there have over
been class-distinctions and that there
ever must be, but there is no valid rea
son why a number of purely artificial
barriers should be raised between the
different sections of a community. The
creation of these artificial barriers has,
in England, done an immense amount
of harm, inasmuch as it has excited a
great deal of ill-feeling, prevented peo
ple from drawing together who would
be benefited by communion with each
other, and rendered the condition of
society absurdly anomalous. Nowadays,
society does not consist merely of three
classes but of a score or two, the mem
bers of which heartily hate and mis
trust each other. Indeed, it is not
going too far to say that society is di
vided into an immense number of con
temptible cliques ; the result being that
when a hundred people are drown pro
miscuously together the majority are so
impressed with a sense of their impor
tance and exalted condition that they
proudly decline to condescend to have
anything whatever to say to nine-tenths
of those by whom they are surrounded.
A man may have brains, he may have
refined tastes, he may be hardworking
and upright in all his doings, and he
may be of presentable appei ranee, bat
he is not saved from receiving cruel re
buffs, as he journeys through life, from
those who are vastly inferior to him and
might be much improved by friendly in
tercourse with him, but who flatter
themselves that they are his superiors
in position. Now, men are largely re
sponsible for this melancholy state of
things ; but we are inclined to think
that the greater portion of the blame—
for what is deplored—must rest upon
feminine shoulders. No doubt there
are many male snobs; but, as a rule,
men are not inclined to be so particular
as to whom they associate with as are
women, and it is highly probable that
if they were not exposed to female in
fluences they might be led to act so that
the lines of demarcation which separate
the people of this country might become
lessbroadly defined and in many cases be
entirely obliterated. As it is, there are
thousands of men who have hundreds of
acquaintances whom they cannot—
whom, indeed, they dare not—admit to
their family circles, and these acquaint
ances not unfrequently ripen into warm
friends. The people whom a man meets
at the various places which ) e visits
during his walks abroad please him and
he can freely mingle with them without
his sense of self-respect being, in any
way, hurt, for they are equal to him in
point of ability and their natures are as
pure and elevated as his own. But he
knows that if he were to introduce them
to his feminine connections things
would be said which would please
neither them nor him, so he keeps his
knowledge of them, so to speak, to him
self and gets bis pleasures out of them
in a stealthy manner. Perhaps be is
wise to act in this fashion ; but’ it may
still be thought that it would be better if
he pursued an independent course and
elected his friends on the score of their
intrinsic merits rather than on that of
their meretricious surroundings. It
must not be forgotten, however, that
he would then, in many instances, be
subjected to a never-ending course of
“nagging,” and it may be remarked
that as the constant dropping of water
will wear away a stone so will a nagging
woman in the end get pretty much what
she wants.
It may be asked how it comes about
that women are more snobbish than
men. Probably this is because they
have less real work to do, and so have
more time to think about their neigh
bors and their surroundings than have
men; because they have little actual
contact with the world ; aud because
they have, from their earliest days, the
principles of snobbishness carefully in
stilled into them. The course of edu
cation to which school girls are sub
jected, is, of itself, calculated to make
them snobs. Certainly, it would be
well if means were taken to render
women less snobbbish than they are,
for bad as a male snob is, a femalo snob
is infinitely worse. For one thing, she
is more spiteful. It is the wife of
Grandee, and not Grandee himself, who
has such a magnificent contempt for
people engaged in retail trade that she
would become pale with indignation
and dismay if it transpired that a
daughter of the hous3 of Grandee was
being eduea’c l alongside the daughter
of Haberdasher, who, though he could
buy Grandee up once or twice, has been
unfortunate enough to make his money
by selling tape by the yard and buttons
by the dozen, while Grandee has dealt
in them in the bulk. As for Grandee,
if he had only himself to please, he
would as soon his daughter were edu
cated with little Miss Haberdasher as
with the child of Swindle, the mer
chant, who has failed once or twice, and
very neatly diddled the chief bulk of
his creditors ; and he only takes action
in order that he may have peace and
quietness at his own fireside. Indeed,
if he were left to his own devices, his
Gothic barbarity would carry him still
farther then we have indicated. He
would hob-nob with Haberdasher him
self, and he would not be at all annoyed
if it came to his ears that his wife had
been having a friendly gossip with Mrs.
Haberdasher. But his good lady has
too much sense to fall into such an in
discretion as this, and she makes it her
business that his lax notions do not run
away with him. Then, again, it is she,
not he, who carefully weighs up all the
qualifications and poSteossions of those
persons who are introduced into the
house of Grandee. It is she who goes
in for making people know their places.
It is she who can meet a so-called in
ferior in the street, and gaze at him as
if he were a piece of inanimate sculp
ture. It is she who can keep would-be
upstarts down. It is she who can for
sake old friends because they have “ be
come so dreadfully low, you know,”
that it really would not do to associate
with them. It is she wh© can quietly
drop her poor relations because it does
not suit her purpose to retain a hold of
them, even though by so doing, she
might succeed in helping them up to
her own level—she is so afraid of being
dragged down to theirs. It is she who
seems to imagine that those who are
paid to serve her are of a race apart
from herself, in the same, though a
lesser degree, than are dogs, horses,
and other animals. It is she who flaunts
her riches and power in the face of the
world. And, finally, it is she who sees
a superiority and potentiality in herself
which are not discerned by other peo
ple. Of course, the amount of harm
that she does is incalculable. It will
be, then, for those who havo charge of
the education of women to consider
whether it is not time that their policy
were revised, and that instead of girls
being taught to be snobs they should be
taught not to be so .—Liberal Review.
Onr Neighbor.
One of our church societies has long
been wrestling with the question, “Who
is thy neighbor ? ” Some of the mem
bers incline to the belief that, in the
Scriptural injunction, “Love thy neigh
bor,” all mankind is meant; others con
tend that they only are our neighbors
who are friendly to us; while yet others,
of illiberal and contracted views, main
tain that one is to have no neighbors
outside the pale of one’s own church.
Let them settle it as they may, the
neighbor will be a neighbor still. We
have one of the right royal sort in onr
mind’s eye. He his chickens up
when we make garden ; be lends us
good books, and borrows ours ; returns
what he borrows—and never asks for
those he loans; comes over often and
chats, without telling us his grievances
I *nd troubles of seeking to learn ours:
gives no advice, and asks for none;
cares not whether we have family pray
ers or domestic broils ; if he thinks our
baby doesn’t look like us, he takes no
pains to mark the points of difference ;
on general matters he expresses his own
views boldly, and does not think us a
blasted fool if we do not coincide with
them ; he calls on us when we are sick,
and doesn’t talk to us of dark, dismal
holes in the ground, or tell ns of a
number of persons he has known who
exhibt the same symptoms as ours and
finally died after a terrible and pro
tected illness, when we die, he will at
tend to the funeral arrangements, see
that no second-hand coffin is palmed off
on us, and tenderly support onr appar
ently grief-stricken widow when the fall
ing clods send back to her ears the rat
tling notes of freedom ; finally, he will
assist her to get another and a better
husband. Heaven bless our neighbor !
There are few like him. More’s the
pity.
Conversational Powers of the Young
Ladies of the Present Day*
The subject of female education has
brought out with special force of ac
clamation the superiority of the present
day over the past in the thoroughness of
instructions imparted. The slipshod
teaching of girls in former days, its
miserable pretence and hollowness, is
an inexhaustible theme ; and, indeed,
there is not much to be said for it.
Compare the school-books of the past
with any paper on teaching addressed
to the young women of the present—
compare what they are expected to
know, the subjects they are to be inter
ested in, the intricacies of grammar and
construction, which are to be at their
finger-ends, with the ignoranoe or acci
dental picking up of knowledge, which
was once the woman’s main chance of
acquirement, and our expectations are
not unreasonably raked. The pupils
of the new school ought to be more
companionable than their predecessors ;
they ought to talk better; more cor
rectly, more elegantly ; and as their snb
jects of interest become more profound,
as science and art open their store to
them, their vocabulary should meet the
need, at once more accurate, more co
pious more felictous. We put it to our
world of readers, is it so? Do our
young ladies talk better than their
mothers ; do they express their mean
ing with greater nicety; nay, do they
speak better grammar ? Moreover,
this is an aim? Are they tanght to
do this by the writers of their own sex
who profess to protiay the girlhood of
our day ? Is it not an understood
thing that three or four epithets aie to
do would soon be wrought. One great
use of speaking in plain English was
that everyone must then know what it.
was that he meant to say, and that if
the speaker meant nothing at all this
was soon found out; while, if he used
higliflowing foreign words, people were
not sure of what they meant, or whether
thev really had any meaning.
Invaluable Recipes.
Gray marble hearths can be rubbed
with linseed oil, and no spots will show.
A solution of chloride of iron will re
move nitrate of silver stains from the
hands.
A strong solution of hyposulphite of
soda is said to be excellent for cleaning
silver.
Kerosene and powdered lime, whit
ing, or wood ashes, will scour tins with
the least labor.
Shellac is the best cement for jet arti
cles. Smoking the joint renders it
black to match.
Unslaked lime is excellent for clean
ing small steel articles, such as jewelry,
buckles, and the like.
To prevent moth in carpets, wash the
floor be'ore laying them with spirits of
turpentine or benzine.
Gold bronze for furniture is a mixture
of oopal varnish with gold-colored bronze
powder. The last is bi-sulphate of tin.
Spots can be taken ont of marble with
finely-powdered pumicestone mixed with
verjuice. Cover the spots and allow the
stuff to remain for twelve hours ; then
rub clean, dry, and rinse.
To remove old paint, cover with a
wash of three parts quick stone lime,
slaked in water, to which one part pearl
ash is added. Allow the coating to re
main for 1G hours, when the paint may
be easily scraped off.
Four parti borax and three parts
Epsom salts, mixed with three or four
parts warm water to one part of the
c imbined substances, is said to form an
excellent fire-proof wash for clothes. It
should be used immediately after prepa
ration.
Two ounces of common tobacco boiled
m a gallon of water is used by the Chat
ham street dealers for renovating old
clothes. The stuff is rubbed on with a
stiff brush. The goods are nicely
cleaned, and, strange to add, no tobaoco
smell remains.
Aaron Burr’s Remorse.
Rev. J. M. Macdonald, D. D., in the
New York Christian Observer, relates
the following anecdote of Aaron Burr :
Soon after his return from Europe hi
went to visit a family on the North
river, with whom he had been long in
timate. Not informed of the situation
of the family at that time he entered
the parlor, and the first object that pre
sented itself was a corpse laid out in the
usual way. He instantly started back,
and, after a moment’s pause exclaimed :
“ Good God 1 Who is that !’* On being
informed it was the grandson of his
friend, he sank down on a chair, and,
covering his face with his hands, sat
some eight or ten minutes apparently in
the utmost agony. He then suddenly
arose, left the house without utteriDg a
word, got on board a boat and returned
to New York. In a day or two after he
wrote a letter to one of the family apol
ogizing for his strange and sudden de
parture, alleging that his feelings were
so excited that he could not remain, or
at the moment give any explanation.
Then follow these strong and expressive
words : “ Ever since that sad event,
which severed me from the whole hu
man race, I have been as incapable of
giving as of receiving consolation. I
became palsied, body and mind, by
such scenes.” Dated March 31, 1818.
Thus it appears that this wretched man
was haunted through life with the ap
palling image of the fatal scene. The
sight of a colfiu palsied him in body and
mind.
The Hired Girl Performs a Dental
Operation. —A hired girl should be in
genious. One of them, in the employ
of a West street family in Danbury, has
discovered an unique way of extracting
teeth. She suffered nearly a whole
week with an aching tooth, but had not
the courage to go to a dentist. One af
ternoon it troubled her so much as to
force her to look about for a remedy,
and she finally hit upon a plan. With
a piece of stout twine she mode a loop,
which she put about her tooth. Then
she took a bit of soap and rnbbed it on
the floor opposite the back door. The
other end of the twine she fastened to
the knob of the cloied door. Then she
took a position on the soaped boards, so
as to make the twine nearly taut, and
commenced to lean back. When she
had acquired a slope of about forty-five
degrees, the soap suddenly took hold,
and she came down on the floor with
such force as to knock a pair of ten
dollar vases from a mantel up-stairs.
And there she sat reaching out for breath
when the affrighted family made their
appearance, while the offending
dangled from a string against the door.

is the western version of a well worn
quotation from Goldsmith,
CLOSE.
Twrf Remlnitceac** of an Old ’Frisco
Darkey.
“Talk'about close time, why, you
chaps dc n’t know what close time is—
never seen close time an’ dead heats.
Now, I’ll jus’ tell you ’bout a race dat I
see once in Frisco an’ dat war a race ;
you bet. I>e regular racin’ ob de day
war ober an’ den it war fifty dollars en
trance for outsiders, de winner in de
fuss heat to take de pot. Wal, dar war
nine bosses entered for de race, an’ dey
war good bosses, too, you jes’ bet. De
owners drove de hosses darselves, an’
dar war fun ahead. Dey war all
brought up afore de judge’s stan, an’
when everything was settled he sent
’em up de track for to get a start.
“De start war all right, an’ dey got
de word “go,” an’ go dey did, you jes’
bet. Neck an* neck dey went round
dat track, an’ come in neck an’ neck.
Fact. Den de judge he call “dead
heat,” an’ dey walk back for a sponge
an’ anodaer start. Dis time dey got de
word, an’ away dey went again like
steam, neck an’ neck again, sure, an’
come in neck an’ neck, making anodder
dead heat. Ob course dar wan't no
bettin’, case dar wan’t nulfin, nor no
hoss to bet on. Dey all seem jes’ alike.
Wal, dey war sponge off, an’ de judge
sent ’em back again for de third start.
It was jes’ de same as before, an’ jes’
as shuah as dar ever war a hoss in dis
yer world, dem hosses run eight dead
heats dat same way.”
“ Nonsense,” said several of the more
intelligent listeners.
“Fact, shuah, replied *he narrator
soberly. “ Wal, de people an’ de judge
war getting tired ob sort ob a thing an’
de judge he say dath he send ’em off
again for de las’ time, an’ if it war an
noder dead heat dat each hoss take his
stake an’ go home. Wal, dey get an
noder good rend-off all togedder, jess
de same as before, an’ away dey scooted
for de quarter stretch, keeping close to
gedder all de while, jes’ de same as de
half-mile pole—jes’ de same cornin’
down on de home-stretch, an’ ebery
body say dat it would be ancdler dead
heat. Each hoss war doin’ his yaller
darndest, an’ jes’ as dey got near de
judge’s stan’, an’ war about to go under
de wire, one man he jabbed a pin into
his hoss, an’ it made him slick his
tongue out ’bout half a yard, so de
judge he say dat dat boss he win de
race by half a tongue. Now, how am
dat for clo &eV’—Exchange*
The Fan of the Period.
In fans there is a return to a happy
medieum in size. The latest freak of
fashion is for the Japanese feather fans
of endless variety. Some of these are
made from the quill feathers of a white
goose set on slender sticks of the finest
ivory ; others of brown turkey feathers
set on dark mottled pearl. Superb
curled ostrich feathers in brown and in
black are mounted in tortoise shell,
with which the colors of the feathers
correspond in mottled brown and
amber; others are mounted with pea
cock feathers. The exquisite Trianon
fan is indispensable for full dress, of
decorated white kid and white satin and
point applique lace mounted in opales
cent pearl, nacre, and engraved ivory.
Opera bonffe fans have paintings on silk
of opera bonffe scenes. There are fans
of yak lace and Indian fans of soft
downy ostrich feathers, black Spanish
fans with finely painted designs after
Greuze, and a great variety of Japanese
furling fans, altogether' ranging in
prices from §2 to §l5O. Beautiful little
velvet pockets are newly imported, with
ornamentation of silver, and chatelaine
chains for a tiny mirror, vinaigretta,
fan, pencil and dainty little memoran
dum cards. This is §SO. French chat
elaine real watches are set in carved
tortoise shell, and in inlaid ebony and
oxidized silver, guaranteed to keep ex
cellent time, cost from §25 to §SO
There are full sets of tortoise shell so
pale as to be mistaken lor amber;
high floriated Spanish combs, carved
bracelets, chatelaines, sleeve studs and
fan. Others are in rich amber and red
brown, mottled.
Project for the Civilization of Africa
A bold project for the civilization of
Africa is announced under the sanction
of Capt. Sir John H. Glover, Mr. R. N.
Fowler, and otherwell known gentlemen.
This is the formation of a canal for com
mercial purposes from the mouth of the
r ver Bel ha ou the Atlantic, in the
neighborhood of Cape Juby aDd Cape-
Bijad r, opposite the Canary Islands,
to the northern bend of the Niger at
Timbuctoo, a distance of 740 miles.
Such a highway would open up the
African continent to the world, and it is
believed that no formidable obstade
opposes its construction, but that the
conformation of the great desert of
Sahara favors the scheme. For 630
miles of the distance there is a great
hollow supposed to be 250 feet below
the level of the Atlantic, which was
probably at one time covered by the
sea. This low country is separated
from the coast by a broken ridge of
about thirty miles, through which the
river Belta runs for twenty-fivo miles so
that all tt at would be necessary in ord( r
to reach it is to deepen the channel cf
the river, cut through the ridge, and let
the Atlantic fall into the vast arid basin.
In this way a fine sheet of water would
be formed, the climate would be im
proved, the country would become mo e
fertile for pasturage and agriculture
and commerce would be carried into
the heart of Africa.— London Daily
News.
How to Treat Woands.
Every person should know how to
treat a flesh wound. Every one is
liable to be placed in circumstances
away from surgical and veterinary aid,
where he may save his own life, the life
of a friend or a beast, simply by the
exercise of a little common sense. In
the first place close the lips of the
wound with the hands and hold them
firmly together, to check the flow of
blood, until several stitches can be taken
and a bandage applied. Then bath the
wound for a long time in cold water.
“ Should it be painful,” a gentleman
writes, “ take a panful of burning coals
and sprinkle upon them brown sugar
and hold the wounded part in the
smoke. In a minute or two the pain
will be allayed, and the recovery pro
ceed rapidly. In my case a rusty nail
had made a bad wound in my foot. The
pain and nervous irritation were severe.
This was all removed by holding it in
smoke fifteen minutes, and I was able
to resume my reading and comfort.
We have often recommended it to others
with like result. One of my men had a
fioger-naii torn out by a pair of ice
tongs. It became very painful, as was
to be expected. Held in sugar smoke
twenty minutes pain oeased, and per
mised speedy recovery,”
The Fallen Obelisk. — There is
some chance of the fallen obelisk at
Alexandria, fellow to the so called Cleo
patra’s needle being removed to Eng
land. A gentleman of fortune proposes
to effect this at his own expense. The
estimates of cost and the supposed
we ght of the obelisk are very various.
Tae prevailing opinion is that the
wsight is about two hundred and
eighty tons ; the cost will be about £10,;
000. The method of transport reccom
mended is a huge raft, os the convey
ance of so cumbersome a mass would
be dangerous in a vessel. It is under
stood that his highnes 3 , the khedive, has
placed the obelisk at the disposition of
the above mentioned gentleman,
although the Britsh government had
long since declined the onerous present
and given it t the Egyptian gov*
eramenti

It is said that when a Spaniard eats
fruit he always plants the seed thereof
for the benefit of posterity. Asa re
sult, no oountry is so bountifully blessed
with fruit as Spain. The mayor of
Topeka, Kansas, seems to be imbued
with a similar unselfishness. One after
noon last week, at his request, all busi
ness was suspended in the town, and
the whole popnlation went to work and
planted in the town about one thousand
shade trees of several varieties. This is
better than spelling bees.
Glad Tidings for the Slaves of
King Alcohol.— How many a manly
form is palsied ; how many a noble
mind is destroyed; how many a price
less soul lost through the curse ef
strong drink ! To the despairing victims
of the Satanic tyrant, Alcohol, whose
shattered nerves, and trembling limbs,
and racking headaohes, seem to find no
relief except in the renewed nae of the
fatal poison which brings them every
day nearer to their miserable end, we
announce glad tidings of great joy f Dr.
Walker’s Vinegar Bitters contain not
a single drop of Alcohol in aDy form,
but are a sovereign remedy for the ills
of drunkenness. They restore tone and
strength to the system, and entirely
eradicate the pernicious appetite for
liquor. Try a few bottles of Vinegar Bit
ters, and you will never crave Btrong
spirits again, but find your health re
paired, your mind restored, and be once
more a man in the best sense. Health
is cheap when Vinegar Bitters are §1
a bottle.
Facts Worth Knowing.— The Wilson
shuttle sewing machine is to-day the simplest,
most perfecl, most easily operated, best made,
most durable; and, in every way, most valu
able sewing machine in existence, and it is
sold fifteen dollars Jess than all other first
class machines. Machines will be delivered at
any railroad station in this county, free of
transportation charges, if ordered through the
company’s branch house at 189 Canal street,
New One&ns, La. They send an elegant cata
logue and chromo circular free on application.
This company want a few more good agents.
If Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment is
half as valuable as people say it is, no family
should be without it. Certainly no person, be
he lawyer, doctor, minister, or of any other
profession, should start on a journey without
it. No sailor, fisherman, or woodsman should
be without it. In fact, it is needed wherever
there is an ache, sprain, cut, bruise, cough or
cold.
