HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Rick Pudding.— Ono cnp of rico,
which should bo soaked over night in
enough water to cover it; six eggs, one
cup white sugar, five quarts sweet milk.
Hake two hours, stirring often till near
ly done ; flavor with nutmeg.
Tomato Lily. —Take one peck green
tomatoes, cut them in slices and sprin
kle with salt; put them in a jar and
press them tight; let them remain over
night. Next morning drain through a
colander ; add to them twelve onions,
sliced, one and a half ounces black pep
per, a teaspoon of red pepper, one ounce
mustard, one-fourth pound mustard
seed, one- pound of brown sugar, one
ounce cloves, one ounce of allspice.
Put in a kettle, cover them with good
vinegar, and boil till tender.
Ginger Cake, Plain and Good.—
Tnto two quarts of flour rub well a tea
spoonful of soda, and when well mixed,
two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar ; then
< ithor powdered cloves or ginger to
taste cut fine. To one teacupful of but
ter, or lard and butter mixed, add two
teacupfuls of molasses. If too stiff',
add a little more molasses ; if too soft,
add flour until of the proper consis
tency to roll out. Cut in round cakes,
and bake in a quick oven. Cloves and
no ginger make a delightful cake.
A Substitute for Coffee. —Grape
stones are said to be a better substitute
for coffee than cliickory is. When roasted
and ground, they are said to possess an
aroma very much like that of East India
coffee, and the beverage obtained there
from is about the same as coffee in taste,
though inferior in quality. The beve
rage furnished by many of the restau
rants is very far from being “ about the
same as coffee in taste,” and it is pro
bable that a decided improvement could
be made on the present article by the
use of grape stone.
To Remove Iron Rust.— Wet the
spot with cold water and place the cloth
in the sunshine. Then mix equal quan
tities of cream tartar and table salt,
and sprinkle the mixture upon it until
the dampness has absorbed a great deal,
then lay on enough to hide the spot.
Wet the spot with cold water every half
hour, and, if the stain is then seen,
cover it again with the cream tartar and
salt. Keep it in the sunshine, and con
tinue these applications till the stain is
gone—if recently contracted, two or
three applications will remove it.
Hardening Steel Tools, Eto.— The
following secret, unpatented composi
tion, suggested by the chemist Kulicke,
has been employed with success at
Saarbrucken for restoring burned steel
to its primitive condition, and as it af
fords a peculiar hard metal, it is also
used for tempering steel tools that are
too soft, or may become so by use, as
chisels, saw-blades, etc. Although
rather expensive, it is really an eco
nomical treatment where large numbers
of steel tools are used. Burned steel
heated to a cherry red, and forged
somewhat on an anvil, is plunged into
a well mixed doughy mass, in a box
near by, composed of tartaric acid, 6
ounces; cod oil, 30 ounces; charcoal
powder, 2 ounces; bone black, 8 ounces;
beef tallow, 10 ounces ; yellow prussiate
of potash, 5 ounces, aud burned harts
horn, 3 ouuces, and is then completely
cooled in water. Steel tools are simi
larly treated. Small articles of cast
iron, such as wheel-boxes, axle-bearings,
eto., to onoooeufully omo hordcuod
by being plunged red hot into a mixture
of 10 buckets of urine, 5 pounds of
whitening, and 4 pounds of salt.
A Extraordinary Voyage.
A curious story comes to us across
the ocean of a shapeless bundle of rags
found recently in a tree top in the South
African colony of Natal. It proved to
bo one of the missing balloons which
floated out of Paris during the siege
with a freight of letters and dispatches
—orders from the government of na
tional defence to its guards in the field,
aud messages of love and cheer, of sor
row and complaint from the suffering
citizens to their friends outside. If the
government had no better way than this
of reaching its commauders, it is per
haps not surprising that the military
operations of France occasionally lacked
consistency. It has been suggested
that the contents of this aerial mail may
have an important bearing upon the
trial of Bazaine ; but a question which
will interest the public far more than
the purport of the letters is how the
balloon should have found its way from
France to the southern extremity of
Africa. Natal is over five thousand
miles from Paris, in a direction almost
due south. We should like to know
what Prof. Wise’s easterly current was
doing while the air-ship made this ex
traordinary voyage.
Meat from Australia.
A cargo of Australian meat has re
cently been sent to England, and its
preservation during the voyage is ef
fected by anew process, in which no
antiseptic materials of any kind are em
ployed. The beef and mutton is brought
on board directly from the slaughter
house aud thrown into an iron tank, no
particular care being exercised in ar
rauging the pieces. The reservoir is
placed within another and larger recep
tacle, aud ice, produced by artificial
means, is packed upon the cover of the
inuer vessel. The water due to melting
runs over the upper surface and down
the sides of the latter ; and it is col
lected at the bottom, to be returned by
tubes to the ice, to be again refriger
ated. The apparatus is built in a kind
of well, made between the upper deck
and wliold of the vessel, about amid
slnp, and is protected by layers of saw
dust and other uon-conducting material,
it is said that meat thus treated has
been kept on shore for eighty-five days
! “out losing any of its properties or
'ecoming in any wise decomposed.

BE A UTIFUL LEA VES.
Fading beneath our passing feet,
Strewn upon lawn aud lane and street,
Beautiful leaves!
Dyed with the hues of the sunset sky,
Falling in glory so silently,
Beautiful leaves.
Never to freshen another spring,
Never to know what the summer may bring,
Beautiful leaves !
Withered beneath the frost and cold,
Soon to decay in the common mould,
Beautiful leaves!
So will the years that change your tint
Mark upon us their autumnal print,
Beautiful leaves!
So shall we fall from the tree of time,
Fade as ye fade in a wintry clime,
Beautiful leaves!
But when the harvest <tf life is past,
And we wake in eternal spring at last,
Beautiful leaves!
May He who paints your brilliant huo
Form of our lives a chaplet new
Of beautiful leaves!
AUTHENTICATING A GHOST.
“ Do I believe in dreams and ghosts ?”
That is no way to pnt it. Do I believe
in dreams? Yes? In ghosts? Listen
to me!
As long ago as 1859 I was county sur
veyor of Hooppole county, state of
Arkansas. My brother-in-law, Jack
Henley,, enjoyed the official title and
drew the salary; but I used to go along
with him on duty to carry the chain and
set the stakes. 1 preferred this part of
the business because I could never
make the compass work properly; it
would always point north for me; and
sometimes I wanted to go in other
directions. How Jack managed it I
never could understand. Jack, by the
way, was the most intolerably ugly
motal I ever beheld—except his sister
Margaret, my wife, now in heaven, poor
thing There is no sense in such ugli
ness as Jack’s.
One evening Jack came over to my
cabin, and we had a little game—played
with the full pack. My wife—since
dead—retired early, leaving us with the
bottle and cigars to have it out. I soon
had it out—out of Jack’s pocket, every
cent of it ! And we were both “in a
condition.” About eleven o’clock we
shooks hands a few dozen times, and
Jack started for home—returning at va
riable intervals to shake hands. He
lived about a mile away, down the Bull
bmg road—first house on the left.
When he was unmistakably gone I col
lected such of my faculties as I could
lay my mind on, put the room in order,
and went to bed. I had no sooner shut
my eyes than I dreamed Jack was dead.
I saw him, as plainly as possible, stag
ger down the road till he had passed
the little bridge over Possum creek;
then the moon coming out suddenly he
fell down and died of pure ugliness. I
dreamed and redreamed this so many
times that it began to worry me ; so I
got out of bed, dressed, and left the
house.
It was a misty kind of night, but
there was a moon somewhere behind
the fog, and I could see things close at
hand with tolerable distinctness. I had
gone about a quarter of a mile towards
the spot where my dream had “located”
Jack’s body, when I met him coming
my way. He was walking very steadily
now, and had the oddest look ! It was
as if his eyes had nothing behind them
—you know how I mean.
“ Halloo, Jack!” I exclaimed in pro
found surprise; “I swear, old man, I
dreamed you were dead, and believed
it.”
“I am,” was the reply in a tone of
unutterable hollowness that seemed to
come from anywhere but bis lips ; and
at the sound of it a chill wind circulated
as freely through my hair as if I’d no
hat on.
Never having met many dead men I
did not quite know what was etiquette ;
but I have always thought the best
thing to do when you don’t know what
to do is to shake hands; so I proffered
my palm. Jack merely stared at me,
as if he did not see anything there, and
said in the same unearthly tone :
“ I can’t do it, Bill; it’s contrary to
the constitution an’ by-laws. I should
forfeit my leave,”
“ But, Jack,” persisted I, “can’t you
take any chances for friendship’s sake ?”
“ We never shakes hands,” said he;
“an’ that’s enough.”
Now I knew exactly how to manage
Jack. Before going to bed I had put
the black bottle, some cigars, and the
cards in the pocket of my coat; and
that coat I had on. I pulled out the
bottle and held it out.
“Drink!”
Then for the first time this solemn
ghost smiled a sweet, sad smile.
I had learned to distinguish Jack’s
sweet, sad smile from his scowls of
wrath, though most people couldn’t.
Taking the bottle, he drank deeply,
and, after carefully returning the cork
to its place, put the whole thing under
his arm. All this time I could see
right through him at any point; and
the expression of his face depending
largely upon the color and configura
tion of whatever object happened to be
behind it, whenever he moved his head
there was a deceitful appearance of a
play of emotion upon his features.
Once when he got his face between me
and a knot-hole in a tree I thought ho
was going to eat me—so I hastily offered
a cigar.
“Smoke?”
“ Thanks. Got a light ?”
Striking a match on the sole of my
boot I gave it him, and he gravely
ignited the weed, blowing great banks
of smoke. I next produced the cards,
asking if we should have a game—“just
for pastime,” I added, knowing he had
no money.
He nodded silently, sat down by the
roadside, a jd spread out his legs like a
pair of dividers until they subtended
an angle of sixty degrees. I took posi
tion between them and we were soon
absorbed in the rational delight of
“ seven-up.” Sometimes I won, some
times he did ; but whatever was the re
sult of the game he always ended it by
a pull at the bottle, never offering it to
me. I thought this mean of Jack, but
when I mentioned it he merely remark
ed, “We never offers anything,” and
continued his play. But I began to
plan vengeance.
Presently Jack began to feel it work
ing in his spectral head. Sometimes
he would play as low as the four-spot
and claim “high.” Once he stood his
hand on a queen and seven ; and finally,
saying something severe about “ fellers
as would take advantage of a poor
ghost,” he dropped over upon his un
substantial back, and emitted a sepul
chral snore. I sat still a moment and
thought to the following effect :
“ This is a mean ghost. It would be
rather fine to teach a wholesome lesson
to the supernatural. Besides, it is no
small distinction to have played seven
up with a resident of another and a
warmer world ; and some slight evi
dence of the fact would be acceptable.”
I arose and went borne. I remem
bered that standing at the head of my
bed were my surveying pins and the
mallet with which I drove them in
where the ground was stony or frozen.
These pins were of iron, about eigh
teen inches long and pointed at one
end. Opening the door I entered quiet
ly so as not to arouse Margaret—since
deceased—and selecting a clean, sharp
pin returned with it and my mallet to
the spot. Jack was sleeping in exactlv
the same position as at first—the cards
scattered about him like autumn leaves,
the bottle vacuous and overthrown at
his side. I passed my foot through
him two or three times to make sure he
would not awake, then knelt at his side.
His transparent head was lying on a
clean, even surface of yellow clay, and
I could not help remarking his wonder
ful resemblance to bis sister—now no
nioie. I suspended the point of the
iron pin above the centre of his chest,
holding it with my left hand, and lift
ing high the mallet in my right with
one powerful blow I smote home the
spike ! There was a sudden struggle, a
long sharp scream, and I awoke. There
at my knees lay the late Margaret, with
the iron transfixing her vitals—pegged
rigidly to the bed like a black beetle
impaled upon cardboard of an entomo
loger.
I had seen no ghost—l had not been
out of the room. Thank heaven, it was
but a dream.
Recollections of a Lawyer’s Life.
Of a distinguished jurist, now occu
pying the bench of one of our district
courts, are extant a multitude of inter
esting stories, narrative of lively epi
sodes, encompassed within the history
of his long and vigorous practice before
the New Orleans bar, and herewith will
be found a brace of incidents now with
in keen recollection. It is related of
him that one hot summer day, making a
hurried journey to court, he forgot his
tried and trusty pocket-handkeichiei,
the absence of which he discovered only
when he reached the sacred temple, but
being then at once called upon to de
liver an argument, he was compelled to
take the chances without its valued
services.
His addre s being particularly vigor
ous and lengthy, and the advocate a
gentleman, a portly, well preserved son
of Adam, he gave frequent and distress
ing evidences of the severe labor of liis
mind and body by perspiring freely. In
short, not to put too fine a point on it,
he sweat like a beaver.
The absence of his handkerchief for
ced him to make shift for something
wherewith to mop his face, at intervals,
and nothing presenting better than vari
ous sheets of blotting paper, these he
clutched from time to time, and swabbed
his frontispiece of its bountiful watery
exudations. Unhappily for the old
chap, those particular sheets of blot
ing-paper happened to be well satura
ted with ink, which, under the moisten
ing process recited, picturesquely be
smearedt he countenance of the Black
stonian each time he brought them into
play.
As may be apprehended he soon pre
sented a most extraordinary and ludi
crous appearance, so much so that all
who gazed upon him —jurors, judge and
lawyers—at first, with difficulty, re
frained from boisterous laughter, while
the poor unconscious of the
figure he cut, and at loss to account for
the mirthful signs about him, kept fir
ing away at the jury, and mopping his
face with the paper until he grew so
grotesque that restraint was no longer
possible, and all hands, even the judge
on the bench, joined in hearty laughter.
Ere the counselor could demand an
explanation, the court, explaining the
cause, suggested that he had better
wash his face, which, intensely mortified
of course, he proceeded to do, the case
meanwhile being held in abeyance for
liis return.
Of the same gentleman it is said that,
having been cured by Dr. Stone of an
illness, he visited the doctor one day,
accompanied by a fellow-lawyer, for the
purpose of paying the medical man for
liis services.
Both lawyers were rather shabby and
seedy in their costumes, and the docior,
in his proverbial eccentric manner,
after eyeing both from head to foot for
fully a minute, without uttering a word,
blurted out with, “What do you two
do for a living?”
Tremblingly one of the pair ventured
to remark, “We are lawyers, sir.”
“Lawyers, eh,” returned Galen;
“well, I think by your looks that the
legal jwofession is at a mighty low ebb
now. I guess you’re in need of all the
money you’ve got, and so” (turning to
his former patient) “your bill is noth
ing. Go.” And they went. — N. O.
Times.
—Mr. Alfred Russell Wallace com
plains that scientific men are too timid in
their speculations concerning the antiqui
ty of the human race, and especially ob
jects to the fallacy of always preferring
the lowest estimate, in order to be “on
the safe side.” He declares that all the
evidence tends to show that the safe
side is with the large figures, and fixes
upon the “ sum of half a million as
representing the years that have proba
bly elapsed since flints of human work
manship were buried in the lowest de
posits of Kent’s Cavern,” discovered
lately at Torquay.

A Nation of Dyspeptics.—We live
fast; dissipate in everything except
righteousness, and fill early graves. We
drink all kinds of poisoned alcoholic
spirits, and swallow, without mastica
tion, pork, grease and every conceivable
carbonaceous, soul-dwarfing, life-de
stroying, system-clogging, indigestible
food. Dr. Walker’s Vegetable Vinegar
Bitters cannot stop this in a radical
manner—but it will remove the evil ef
fects, aud the recovering patient, with
fresh, pure, vitalized, electrical blood
flowing through his arteries and veins,
will have a clearer head and a cooler
judgment, which, coupled with experi
ence, will cause him to abstain in the
future. Good, nutritious, digestible
diet, which the most delicate stomachs
may take, can be found in cracked
wheat, corn bread, tomatoes, raw or
solt-boiled eggs, baked apples, boiled
rice, plain rice pudding, corn starch,
rare beef, mutton and poultry. With
Vinegar Bitters and moderation in eat
ing and drinking, there is no incurable
case of dyspepsia.
Symptoms of Catarrh. —Obstruction
of nasal passages, discharge falling into
throat, sometimes profuse, watery, acrid or
thick and tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody,
putrid, offensive, etc. In others, a dryness,
weak or inliamed eyes, ringing in ears, deaf
ness, ulcerations, scabs from ulcer t, *’oice al
tered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired
smell and taste, etc. Few only of above
symptoms likely to be present in any case at
one time.
To cure—take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery earnestly, to correct the blood and
system, which are always at fault, also to aci
specifically, as it does upon the diseased
gla ids and lining membrane of the nose and
its communicating chambers. The more I see
of this odious disease, the more positive is
my belief that if we would make treatment
perfectly successful in curing it, we must use
constitutional treatment to act through the
blood, as well as a soothing and healing local
application. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy,
when used warm and applied with Dr. Pierce’s
Nasal Douche, effects cures upon common
sense, rational and scientific principles, by its
mild, soothing and healing properties, to
which the disease gradually yields, when the
system has been put in perfect order by the
use of the Golden Medical Discovery. This is
the only perfectly safe, scientific and success
ful mode of acting upon and healing it.
So successful has the above course of treat
ment proven that the proprietor offers SSOO re
ward for a case he cannot cure. All the means
sold by druggists. R. V. Pierce, M. D., pro
prietor, Buffalo, New York.
—The Pall Mall Gazette has an arti
cle on “Adulterated Houses,” which be
gins this way : “Most of our disease,
and a great deal of our crime, comes
from a single s nrce. Men and women
are unhealthy because they live in un
wholesome houses ; they have recourse
to drink partly because the act of get
ting it takes them out of their houses,
and so is in itself attractive, and partly
because the physical depression caused
by ill-health makes a stimulant of any
kind unnaturally grateful; drinking be
gets drunkenness, and when that stage
is reached, crime follows in many cases
as a matter of course. ”
Winter is now fairly upon us, and
the teams are hastening to the lumber woods
in various parts of the country. Our advice
to every man who goes to the woods, be he
captain, cook, teamster, or any other man, is
to take along a good stock of Johnson’s .Ano
dyne Liniment and Parson’s Purgative Pills.
Many mouths of labor (in the aggregate) may
be saved by this precaution.
All articles we think that are packed

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs found ou the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol, The question is almost
daily asked, “What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters f” Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of V inegar Bitters in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, iu Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of I)r. Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wonderful In
vigorant that ever sustained the sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious, Remittent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so preva
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, aud many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the (lark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the same time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sou:
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid
nevs, and a hundred other painful syrup,
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia'
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment.
Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the
Skin. Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters have shown their great
curative powers m the most obstinate
and intractable eases
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walker's Yin
egar Bitters occasionally.
For Skill Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms.
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the us
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms.
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
thelminitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic-
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cieanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
