A Bov's Way of Stating Things.— < A boy’s way of stating tilings though, i often inteligent, is generally nervous. ’ Example: A lad at Eaton Tennsylva- I nia, entered a drug-store, bottle in 1 hand, and said ho wanted ten cents worth of “aruiaky-money.” The drugger told him to repeat the word, and said, “Don’t you mean arnica or auionia ?” “I dunno,” was the reply. “What is it for?” asked the drug gist. “Can’t tell,” said the boy, starting slowly out. When near the door a bright idea illumined him, and he turned and asked the druggist: “It your wife hit you on the head with a chair leg, which of those medicines would you get to take the swellin’ dawn ?” “Arnica.” “Then fill her in ten cents’ worth,” replied the boy; and he gazed loving ly at a big stick of licorice as the was being bottled.— Harper'* Magazine. Lean Pigs.—The farmer whose pigs were so lean that it took two of them to make a shadow, has been beat by another, who had several so thin that they would crawl out through the cracks in in their pen.

The Beauties of At.asky. — PeYhnps Alaska is the most worthless patch of creation that was over purchased and passed out of one possession into an other. It does not seem to have any material or capabilities for develop ment. It was a Rusian poor-house*, and Russia sold the expensive charge. All the Russians who were able to go I got away; those who were too poor to ! go stayed. All the paupers remained, oi course Among these were the balf , ureeds —Russia’s crooked family. | Sow and then a melancholy letter | comes from some stranded corrcspon | dent in Alaska, and the name gets in ■ the papers. Otherwise it is as dumb as-a petrifaction and barren of news jas the moon. A letter came lately. .Silka is stul sitting in a quiet cornel ! of I lie ocean,behind numerous islands j which break the waves until the wa ters around are as calm and pnssion- I leas as those of a lndlda’n. Kveu the I sea about tho city refuses to stir, i There arc no streets because none are j wanted. There are a few alleys narrow ways which lead to destruc tion—abundant prostitution being j Russian heritage. And then the nui i vernal smell of fish. Tho clouds come >up from the Pacific and pour floods of water upon Sitka for weeks ami months without cessation, and the water runs off into the sea again, but | it cannot wash away tho smell of fish. ! And Sitka in all there is of Alaska ! worth speaking if at all. And nobody ever stayed tb-ei e yet to whom it was i possible to get away. So tho letters from Alaska always treat that miser able patch of creation which has ever | been a source of poverty to its ow n ers. Paying fok the Privilege of Pro fanity.—August Belmont had and j lias, i believe, for private secretary a young man who gave him offense by , writing a letter different from what [ the eminent banker had directed. Belmont looked it over and blurted l out, “D— ii you, I retold you a dozen ! times how to do this, and you have done it wrong again.” i The Secretary rose with much dig nity and said: “Air. Belmont, you must not. swear at me. Ido not get ! salary enough to do my work faith j fully and be sworn at besides.” “How much do you gel V ’ inquired the financier. “Fifteen hundred dollars n year.” “llow much do you want V” “Including being sworn at “Yes, including everything.” "Three thousand dollars at least.” “Draw jG/JO!) hereafter, <1 —u you, and copy my letters exactly as I di rect;” which shows that some men are willing to pay for luxuries. It may be said of Belmont, in scriptural phrase, that curses clothe him like a garment, for he has a hab it of swearing.— -vetc 1 .jelr'Letter. Salt—lrs Uses.—Hall’* Journal of Health thus sums up some of the uses' of salt: It will cure sic;-: head-ache, make cream freeze, make tin; butter: come, take ink stains out of doth ol any kind, kill worms, make the ground cool; so it is more congenial to cellery, cabbage, etc. It will cease the itch ing pain caused by irritating skin di- I senses, like hives, itch, etc. It will produce vomiting or stop it, aa you like; and, we will add by way of com pleting the list, for Dr. Hall, that it is also used to chi ck hemorrhages, j more especially in pulmonary affec tions; it : i also good lor stock, such as milch cows; when given in sum ti quan tities once a day it increases the lac teal flow; and, indeed, it is good for | manv other uses, the most essential oi which is that of putting it in our vict uals. Don’t laugh! But sea salt is said to bo the most effectual in its ac tion. Hon. B. 11.

Thousands of Sunkt'i-; -A Doa of ScrpTliti:i itatiS.ls. On the 2d inst., toward evening, a j young son of Mr. A. Thompson, who lives about eight and a half miles from : town southward, was passing over a hill on the farm of Mr. Oibbs Myers, , a neighbor, in quest of his father’s cattle, when lit; accidentally stepped | into a small hole, and on drawing Lis j leg out quickly, drew from it several | serpents. The sight frightened the j lad, and he ran home with all speed reported his experience. He soon tv , turned, however, with another lad, and found that the hilltop was the home of a community of craw ling,rep tiles, and before they left the spot they dad dispatched I'm tv-six.

We killed fifteen in as many minutes, ami had enough, while two hi lie lads'', ere all tho tium at work. And the work of killing lias been going on ever since, until now we hear that about three thousand have been dispatched, and there are hundreds, perhaps thous ands left! The snakes are of the species called the blue racer, with a sprinkling of adders, and vary in size from the thickness of a mans linger to ; that of bis wrist, and iti length j from a foot to four or five feet. They i run with remarkable speed, and at first were cowardly, endeavoring to; escape and not much disposed to show tight. They are now, however, be coming vicious, and show tight, and j at. times get startlingly aggressive. — ('mivurdiu Enterprise.

V ithout elaborating the many strong points in taxor of full plowing a few of tlie more prominent benefits ! may be briefly dated as follows: October and November are deemed an excellent time for bteal.ii: ; up suit, lor planting the following spring. T tie wrath r then : • cool and brac ing, and the team strung and hearty for the work; while the weather in spring is more relaxing and the team less able; and spring’s work h aig al ways limning, it. ■ arcs 1 in.c to dis puted! tut much of the ploughing as possible during the previous autumn. Sod land broken up in autumn will be quite free from grass the following spring, the roots of the late overturn ed sward being so generally killed by the immediately succeeding winter .lint not much grass will shi t :u the ‘ sirring. The frosts of winter will disinte grate tlm plowed land, so that it read ily crumbles into fine particles in spring, and a deep, mellow seed-bed is easily made, ’.i be chemical chang es and in -difi cations resulting from atmospheric action during the winter, develop latent fertility in the upturn ed furrows, which, together with the i mellowing influences, materially in creases tho eii p. Most kinds of insects are either i wholly dei iroyed, or their depreda tions materially cheeked by late fail; plowing; especially tiic common white grub and cut-worm. Corn stubble land may 1 e plowed late in tail, and thus be ready for very early sowing in spring, lhereby gt ing bar to insure a good catch of grass; Hu roots of the new seeding gi Ring hold well, or being well established before the droughts of summer come. Where tile soil is line grained, and j unctions, and close, or where there is a hard-pan of good quality, deep | plowing may bo at rou e resorted to, ! with decided advantage. 'Where the subsoil is poorer, the plowing may be advantageously deepened by degrees, say an inch at each new breaking up. j But in by far ti.o majority of eases, deep plowing may bo practiced at once indeed it maybe the rule, with safety, while shallow plowing may be j llm exception. Blow, say ! , 10, 11 or 12 inches deep in November. •The subsoil turuedviip v. ill grow several shades darker by spring. The frosts ami atmospheric influences of winter, will mellow the soil, llm inorganic <■; emcnis and all latent fertility will be; made more active h.r benefiting the crop. In spring spread the manure, and plow it in, or otherwise work it in or mingle it with the soil, to the depth, say of 4 inches, a little more or less, and you have tiie very best at tainable condition for realizing good , crops. Deeper plowing may thus be practiced than would at all times be safe or oxpediut, if the plowing lie de layed til! spring.— /{onion Cullicn.'w. A Simple Remedy for inimlrntf- ; There are doubtless few persons, especially among gentlemen who do not suffer from the inconvenience of! dandruff. Physicians seems not to, • consider it of sufficient importance to engage their attention, and the poor victims are left either to , ractice their virtue of endurance, or for a cure to I Irv some of the many nostrums nd vertised in the public prints. The in , tolerable itching which frequently nc ! companies iho troublesome complaint . is not the only unpleasant feature, as ; to persons of any pretentions to neat-; ness, the appearance of the white scales on tho coat-collar and shotii- 1 dors are very objectionable. The wri ter, during a number of years, tried the different alcoholic solutions of castor oil, and many other prepara | tious without permanent benefit, and as a last resort was led to adopt the plan of cleaning the scalp with borax and carbonate of potass,a. This prov ed effectual, but after a persistent treatment of some months the hair became sonsi! ly thinner and perhaps would have disappeared altogether. The belief that dandruff arises from a disease of the skin, although physi cians do not seem to agree on this point., and the knowledge that the use j of sulphur is very frequently attend ed with very happy results in such j diseases, induced me to try it on my own case. A preparation of one ounce , f tlowir ot sulphi r an 1 oi.o quart of water was made. The clear liptiid j was poured off, after the admixture , had been repeatedly agitated during intervals of a few hours, and tho head [ was saturated with this every morn- I ing. In a Jew weeks every trace of J dandruff had disappeared, the hair j became soft and glossy, and now, af | ter a discontinuance of the treatment for eighteen months, there is no indi cation of a return of the disease. 1 do not pretend to explain the modus operundi of the treatment, for it is well known that the sublimed sul phur is almost, or wholly insoluble, and tho liquid used was destitute of I taste, color, or smell. The effect | speaks for itself. —Journal oj Pharma \rg. i An officer in tho French army has recently died who had met with Abd cl-Kader on the battlefield without j attacking him, which he might haw easily done.

In the year 171*) it was discovered that to make a piece of silk if would require the webs of . )0,0(ii) spiders. ’The Spaniards ; bad already tried to use the spider’s threads, and make gloves, stockings, and other urtielt s of Ilia sort, but even these are so troublesome and yelled so little profit, that in spite of : the fabulous prices paid, they were obliged to abandon the trade. In certain parts of South America gar kiuenfs made of these threads are worn, buttin' spiders in these lands are unusually largo. It is likely that the i above mentioned dress was made of the threads ef the smaller species of American spider. There is, therefore, some hope that the time is not far distune when, thanks to the progress oi modern industry, fashionable ladies may have the satisfaction of wearing ele".nt silks of the same delicate text ure.
