again: ‘Your cousin has a sort of gen­

he knows a sandy soil from a dry bot­

{Concluded next week.)
W an ted a Girl.
“ I desire to advertise for a girl to do
general housework,” said a Laramine
lady to the manager of the intelligence
office. “I have liad some little trouble
and annoyance during the past year,
and would like, if I could, to get agood
girl who differs in many respects from
those I have been wrestling with.
Last fall I heard of a good girl who
was working for a neighbor of mine,
and went to work systematically to
get her. I found afterward that it
was a put-up job on me, and that my
neighbor wanted me to get the girl
more out of revenge than anything
else. The girl’s name was Cleopatra.
She wanted S27 per month, and - the
use o f the piano. I was so sure that
she was a good girl that I engaged her
on that layout. Cleopatra had so ma­
ny lovers that we had to move the sofa
into the kitchen on Sunday, and my
husband and myself sat around on the
floor while Cleopatra wooed the festive
mule puncher. W e wanted to throw
all the home influences we could
around Cleopatra, so that she would
feel perfectly cheerful and like one of
the family. Slie used to wear my
dresses when I was away, but when I
asked her to let me wear her wardrobe
she seemed hurt, and her whole sys­
tem was churned up with convulsive
sobs. By-ard-by ruy'dresses got kind
of shabby, as the result o f contiuous
wear by Cleopatra and myself, and so
slie got discontented and went away.
Then I got a nice girl from Xebraska;
hut just as she had learned to make a
pie that would yield to the softening
influences of time, she married a man
from Bitter Creek, who was so cross­
eyed that, when lie wept, the scalding
tears would run down the back of
his neck. I then secured a girl from
the old country. She couldn’t speak
the English language fluently, and so
didn’t have a very sociable time of it.
When I would tell her to wash the
dishes, slie would generally black the
stove or bring in a scuttle of coal. I
used to pour out my soul to her some­
times and ask her to confide in me, but
she had a far away look, like a man
who cannot pay his hoard hill. One
day at dinner I asked her to bring in
the desert, but she didn’t grasp my
meaning, and through some oversight
brought in tlie dish rag on a tray. Slie
used to wash tlie children’s faces with
the shoe-brush, and in that way soon
won tlieir esteem and regard. One
day while we were at the "table slie
brought in the soup, and in an un­
guarded moment stuck about seven
inches of her thumb in tlie hot soup in
order to get a more secure grip oil the
turreen. In the first impulse of coy
and maidenly surprise she thoughtless­
ly dropped the turreen and soup in my
husband’s lap. M y husband is a shy
and rather reticent man, hut he rose
with a graceful movement to his full
height, and killed her with tlie carving
knife, and kicked her gory remains
under the table. A fter the inquest I
got a hollow-eyed girl f '-ora F ort Col­
lins. She was an orphan, with pale
hair that she used to work up in the
hash. She was proud aud impulsive
in her nature, and ate everything in
the house. W e used to hear her in tlie
middle o f the night foraging around
after cold pie and the fragments of
rich and expensive grub. She liad a
singular yearning for jam and an im­
passioned longing for preserves that
we never succeeded in quenching.
When the jelly and fruit gave out, she
would sadly turn her attention to cold
ham and mustard, with the smoulder­
ing ruins af baked beans and cold cab­
bage and vinegar. W e stood it till
groceries came up so, and apples got to
he $7.50 a barrel, aud tlieu we asked
her to send in her resignation. Short­
ly after that my husband made an as­
signment. What L would like now is
a good girl, not so much as a compan­
ion and confidential promoter o f finan­
cial ruin, but more to wrestle with
manual labor in tlie kitchen at so much
per wrestle and hoard. I ’m not diffi­
cult to please, but I don’t want to pay
tlie same salary that the cashier o f a
hank gets just for the sake of having a
pampered menial in the house who
doesn’t do enough work to drive away
her ennui.”

Out of 100 storm-centers noted dur­
ing 1879,1 moved north, 3 southeast,
24 northeast, and 72 nearly due east.
Their velocity varies from 20 to 40
miles per hour, so that either stormcenters or cold waves travel from tlie
mountains to the sea in from two to
five days, then passing off upon Jtie
ocean, frequently taking a northeaster­
ly direction after reaching the coast.
Sometimes a storm may be deflected
from its course or spend* its force mid­
way, or increase in severity, as it
moves eastward. It is these possibili­
ties, together with the varying veloci­
ty of tlie wave, which render us de­
pendent- on tlie telegraph for its record
of daily or even hourly progress, and
which sometimes contradict the best
founded predictions. But with all
these possibilities of error, SO to 90 per
cent of the predictions are verified,and
upon perhaps 75 per cent-, our reliance
may he almost perfect. A t times, eith­
er on land ,or sea, a single warning
may save property to an amount great­
er than the whole annual expense of
the bureau, to say nothing o f life and
comfort. Our weather then, in gener­
al terms, comes from tlie west, and
when we read in the papers that “ an
area of low pressure with heavy rain
and severe gales is developing in the
upper
Mississippi, or upper lake
region,” the farmer had better not be­
gin his haying or liis harvesting, and
the traveler had better not set out by
way of the lakes or the ocean, until it
has passed by. While i f in the fall or
winter you read that “ an area o f high
pressure with violent winds and rapid­
ly falling temperature is prevailing” in
the same regions, the farmer had bet­
ter look to liis young stock, and make
all snug about cellar and barn, and the
traveler will do well to take along Ms
heaviest overcoat.—P rof. J. W. 'Chicic­
ering, in American Agriculturist.
NUMBER 2.
Tlie Fortune-Hunter.
The genuine fortune hunter is a ver­
itable scamp—mercenary, cruel and
greedy. When some rich women mar­
ry some poor men, tliev little imagine
the misery they are creating for them­
selves. A man who woos a woman
with mercenary motives is rather apt
to hate her for being worthy of a bet­
ter fate, as she undoubtedly is, else her
generous heart would not so run away
with her judgment. The man who
marries a woman fo r her money had
better kill her outright, and take it.
Indeed, that is what a creature who
makes a match with such a motivfi
would really like to do. H e wants the
hard gold, not the soft woman who
owns it, and lie bates her because he
has to take her also. Poor little heir­
esses, with such delightful fortunes;
poor little widows, with a sung little
sum settled on you by the husband that
had your comfort at heart, liow much
better that you should be penniless wo­
men sewing for your living? Then,
some strong, loving hand might gather
up to a tender heart, and you might he
very sure it was all for yourself—all,
every bit of it. But now, nothing is
left to you hut a loveless existence—a
broken life. All! it’s a dangerous ex­
periment to endow some men with
your earthly goods, in place of being
endowed by them; and you pay the
penalty of thus reversing the natural
order of things.

Many people who handle wood do
not know that i f they wish, the hark
to come off they should pile it hark
down. I f they wish to retain the bark
the opposite course should he taken.
A correspondent writes to the Detroit
Post and Tribune, giving his experi­
ence. as follow s: “I iiave sold wood for
over forty years in Michigan, and I find
that when wood is corded hark up tlie
hark remains on until I sell and meas­
ure up the wood, and all that is piled
bark down, the hark falls off and meas­
ures nothing; besides, there is more
heat in the bark than in the sap of the
log. The most and best ashes are also
in the hark. I have on my place now
some maple wood that was chopped
nine years ago, and corded baric up,
and the bark would hold on if I would
draw the wood to Saginaw (18 miles)
and cord up and measure; besides, the
hark is lighter to draw. Where the
hark is piled down, tlie water runs in
around tlie wood and makes it dozey,
wet and heavy. Tell your neighbors
to try it. Railroad companies would
save thousands o f dollars by piling
tlieir wood hark up.”
The butchers in 'Washington Mar­
ket were greatly exercised to-day
about the persenee o f a live cow on
exhibition in their midst with six legs
and a vertebrate as crooked as the
branch o f a sour apple tree. She was
brought b y a man named Charles A n­
dres all the Avay from Colorado, where
she was picked out o f a herd of cattle
grazing on the plains, hut the herd was
in complete ignorance that any one of
its number carried six legs.
The cow
in question, which aa-u s exhibited in a
shed m the rear of "West Washington
Market, was o f aA’ erage size, and cov­
ered with a suit o f somewhat rough
brown hair. The forehead and breast
were white, and the horns curved fo r ­
ward in crescent shape, Her keeper
said her age Avas six yeais, that she
was gentle, and recognized him when­
ever lie placed his hand upon her. She
stood on four legs like any other coav.
and the tAvo extra legs growing out of
tlie top of the shoulder-blade, dropping
on either side, and in shape were ex­
actly like a pair of hind legs. The leg
on tlie right side terminating in an
elongated hoof, measured tAventy-six
inches, andAvas at least twenty inches
from the ground. The leg on the left
side measured sixteen inches, and ay as
about thirty inches from the ground
and evidently undeveloped. Leading
from the tail o f the cow toAvard the
head, the spine assumed a zigzag line,
and the buttocks were Avidely separat­
ed .while tlie hips Avere unusually
prominent. She eats bran and hay
like any other coav, and drinks a pail
of water a day. Slie lias fine bright
eyes, and tlie Avhite liair curling over
her forehead gives her quite a fashion­
able appearance.

evening set fire to little pools o f oil in
the lowlands near Olean, Y . Y ., where
the United P ipe L in e have a number
o f large iron tanks located. A few
moments after the pools were set on
fire the flames were communicated to
three iron tanks containing in all 105,000 barrels o f oil, wMch are now in
flames. P ipe Line men from all sec­

W an ts to A ttend the Show.
In one o f his excellent letters to his
paper, the Charlotte Republican, D. B.
Ainger, postmaster at Washington,
says he wants to see Guiteau hung.
Read what he says:
“F or the first time in my life I want
to see a human being put to death. I
have seen men shot under sentence of
court martial in the army, and not­
withstanding the punishment was just,
the terrible memory o f the tragedy
weighed upon my mind for many days
and nights. I thought then I should
not want to see another execution,
during the rest of my natural life. But
I want to see Guiteau hung from the
same instinct that would prompt me
to throw a brick at a rat that chanced
to cross my path. I f the sight should
possibly betray me into any momenta­
ry feeling o f pity or sympathy Lthink
I could easily banish it by letting my
mind revert back to the picture of
General Garfield as I saw Mm lying
wounded and bleeding on the depot
floor, or, to those weary days of pain
and suffering that follow ed; or to the
forlorn hope journey to Elberon, and
the bringing back o f his mortal remains
to lie. in state, under the dome of the
grand old capitol which had so often
echoed with Ms masterly eloquence;
or the long and solemn funeral train,
like an army of mourning, marching
in silent tread out to the lonely grave
by the somber shores o f Lake E rie; and
lastly, to a bereaved family and a Yation bowed with sorrow—any pity I
might have fo r the wretch on the scaf­
fold, I say, would he banished in a
moment by recalling these awful con­
sequences o f Ms terrible crime. His
ugly, sinister, wicked face, however,
forbids sympathy. Man was created
in the image o f Ms maker, we are told.
I f so, Guiteau was the handiwork of
satan. H e looks the devil incarnate
his acts show him to be. A n d the
worst trait in Ms character is his cra­
ven cowardice. H is brave and defiant
talk only comes from his mouth, for
he has the heart o f a chicken. It is a
part he has acted to support the plea
o f insanity. "When the fatal hour
comes I shall miss my guess if it will
not be found necessary to carry him to
the scaffold.”

W a s h i n g t o n , Eeb. 1 2 .— Mr. Willetts,
Chairman o f the Sub-committee on the
Judiciary, to whom was referred the
Shallenbarger hill for the suppression
of polygamy in Utah, and who reported
the hill to the fu ll committee with
some amendments, states that the full
committee has determined to report
the bill favorably to the House with­
out any modifications whatever. TMs
conclusion has been arrived at as the
result o f Cannon’s extraordinary de­
fense o f polygamy before the commit­
tee last Wednesday, which caused a re­
action in the minds o f those hitherto
disposed to go slowly in the matter. It
is also stated in connection with Mr.
Cannon's recent denials in the Wash­
ington press o f an intention on his
part to assail the personal record o f
members o f Congress prominent in op­
position to polygamy, that one o f the
members who has been thus promi­
nent has in Ms possession and intends
to read on the first occasion, in open
session, an affidavit o f the polygamous
w ife o f a prominent Mormon elder that
she has repeatedly heard George Q.
Cannon, in Ms sermons in the Mormon
Tabernacle at Salt Lake City, declare
that every member o f Congress had
from one to three mistresses.
The McGibney family, who several
yearn ago gave concerts here and
through this part o f the country, are
now in trouble in Y e w Y o r k City from

o f the young McGibneys, who is yet in
short dresses, beats the drum in the
fam ily hand, and the society call it a
barbarous proceeding at which com­
mon decency revolts. The Herald de­
votes a column to the affair under the
caption o f “ The McGibney Horror,”
and ridicules the meddlesome inter­
ference o f the society who have taken
the matter up.—Kalamazoo Telegraph.
W ashington , Feb. 13.—The coro­

brother, A . C. Soteldo. The coroner
committed A . C. Soteldo to await the
action o f the grand jury.
These are the fellows who took upon
themselves th e task o f punishing the
editor o f tbe Republican a few days
since. A poor business, as the remain­
in g brother can testify.

at the United States land office in
Detroit shows that it is having anoth­
er effect than to bring simply inquiries.

A terraced platform in the rear of
the stage at Power’s opera house at
Grand Rapids fell the evening of Feb.
10, during the presentation of the “A l­

300 children were on it at the time,
and all went down, but happily the
carpet spread over it was whole, and
the little ones -went down in a lump
without coming in contact w ith the
broken timbers. There were several
sprained ankles and bruised bodies,
hut only one suffered from broken
hones, a hoy aged 13, named John
Withers, having a leg broken. Had it
not been for the carpet many would
have been killed.
A spark from the engine drawing
the Grand Rapids express on its west

The French Republic.
France is the most prosperous country
of Europe. Its agricultural-industries
are large and the people are industrious
and economical,. -The debt is owned at
home and the people don’t want it paid,
because they believe more firmly tn their
own Government than in outside pow­
ers. The French repubUc wEl be per­
manent. Tbe death of the Prince Im­
perial was a great blow to theBonapartist faction, but the three monarchical
parties together are not formidable
against the republic. The RepubEcan
pa-ty can hardly be defeated unless by
serious divisions among the leaders,
which are not to be feared. The days
of coup d’etats in France are past.
There b»ve been no serious disturbances
of late years.

Reading Notices.
In the Parthenon.
Col. John M. Francis tells the follow­
ing incident of the historian Bancroft’s
visit to Athens in 1872, wlnle theformer
was Minister to Greece and the latter
Minister to Berlin. Mr. Francis went
with him to the Acropohs by moonlight.
“ Standing in the Parthenon, on the
spot where the statue of Minerva in ivo­
ry and gold once had its location, but
where only the platform now remains,
Mr. Bancroft, with uncovered head and
eyes slightly raised, repeated with span
taneous inspiration a’ magnificent pass­
age from Homer. The scone was im­
pressive ; the moonlight flooding those
ancient ruins and gilding the figure of
that snowy-headed pilgrim from our oc­
cidental shores, august with official hon­
ors, past and present, of a great repnb
Ec, but more august as a citizen of Mgb
rank in the imperishable republic of
letters. Whole^entunes of Mgh acMevcment and aspiration and progress, the
stately march of thought and culture and
genius through the ages and afar over
the broad seas seemed epitomized in that
one exalted moment.”
French Remedy for Stuttering.
M. Chevin of Paris appears to have
been very successful in Ms new system
of treatment for stuttering. This sys­
tem is divided into three stages. The
first involves various respiratory exer­
cises, during wMch the patient is first
taught to make a long, full inspiration,
the respiratory movements being then
made with various rhythms until they
become full, regular and easy, instead
of jerky, laboring and fatiguing. In
the second stage of treatment exercises
with vowel sounds are substituted for
the previous mute breathings, giving to
each vowel the various modifications of
tone, pitch, duration, etc., heard in con­
versation. The third stage comprises
exercises on consonants alone, and in
combination with vowels, at first slowly,
then rapidly, varying the duration and
pitch of each syUable.
Making Paint of Mummies.
A gentleman, passing through Long
Acre, peeped into a Httle shop and
started suddenly at the sight of several
dead bodies. They had been dead for
over 2,000 years—they were mummies.
Where did they come from? From
Thebes.
Are more coming ? Yes ;
plenty. There appears to be a regular
business going on in mummies between
Thebes and Long Acre. The mummies
are brought over enveloped in their rich
bituminous covering, and—horreseo referens—ground up, bones, cases, cov­
erings, bitumen and all.
What for?
Why, for paint. There seems to be no
burnt sienna like ground mummy. The
artists are willing to pay Mgh prices for
this mummy paint. Our Academy walls
may bo limned with the dust of the
Ptolemies.—London Truth.
The Future of the Telephone.
It may be a long time before tele­
phoning is brought to such perfection,
but the world moves. Our grandfathers
would have scouted the idea that we
should ever read in our New York after­
noon daily journals the same day’s news
from all parts of the Old World, flashed
under the ocean through the- cable.
Who shaE say that our great-grand­
children may not see the time when the
American modistes will be inquiring
from their Canton correspondents,
through the telephone, the latest fashion
in Chinese pigtails, and when the Presi­
dent of the United States, at Washing•on, will be enjoying a morning chat

The fox ends by getting into the fur­

A Reminiscence o f 1783.
The first -American flag that was ever
displayed in Great Britain waved from
the mast of the sMp Bedford, Capt.
Moore’s, of Nantucket. She arrived at
the Downs on Feb. 3,1788, and report­
ed at the custom-house on the 5th. A
London journal of 1783 states that “ she
was not allowed regular entry until a
consultation had taken place between
the Commissioners of Customs and the
Lords of Council, on account of the sev­
eral acts of Parliament yet in force
against the rebels in America. She is
loaded with 487 butts of whale oE, is
American buEt, manned wholly by American seamen, wears the rebel colors,
and belongs to the islandof Nantucket
in Massachusetts. This is the first ves­
sel to display the thirteen rebelHous
stripes in any British port. The. vessel
is at Horleysdown, a little below the
Tower, and is intended immediately to
return to New England^’’
A sure cure for the Blind, Bleeding, Itch­
ing and "Ulcerated PDes has been discovered
by Dr. Williams (an Indian remedy), caUed
Dr. Williams’ Indian Ointment. A single
box has cured the worst chronic cases of 25
and 30 years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this wonderful
soothing medicine. Lotions, Instruments,
and Electuaries do more harm than good.
Williams’ Ointment absorbs the tumors,
allays the intense itching (particularly at
night after getting warm in bed), acts as a
poultice, gives instant and painless relief,
and is prepared only for PEes, itching of
the private parts, and nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinherry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. Williams’ Indian
Pile Ointment: “ I have used scores of pile
cures, but it affords me pleasure to say that
I have never fonnd anything which gave
such immediate and permanent relief as. Dr.
Williams’ Indian OintmentP

The reason why Dr. David Kennedy’s
“Favorite Remedy” cures complaints
o f the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels, and
Blood, is that it is compounded of the
very remedies which nature herself
has provided for this purpose. Being
at first scattered through the woods
and fields, Dr. K. lias collected them
and condensed their virtues in the
form which lie now confidently offers
to the sick and suffering. One Dollar
expended for a bottle w ill convince

Every farmer and citizen should
hear the lecture o f Mrs. Augusta Coop­

ary 21, at 2 o’clock p. m. Subject:
“ The Farmers’ Relation to Society, and
his duty as an American Citizen.” Mrs.
Bristol has hut fe w equals and no su­
perior in America as a lady speaker.
Remember the lecture is free, and all
who do not avail themselves o f this op­
portunity to hear tMs celebrated speak­
er will miss a rare treat.
W e are pleased to see the R ecord’s
local items so freely used by the county
papers. Some have manliness enough
to give the paper credit and they have
our thanks. The others—well, it is
good for them to know how to make
up the deficiency in brains o f the es­
tablishments they represent.

The Farmers’ Institute at Stevensville, on the 4th inst. was a grand suc­
cess. as it was largely attended out­
side the Order o f Patrons o f Husband­
ry. Am ong those outside who partici­
pated in the discussions was Mr. Cum­
mins, from St. Joseph. Rev. Stormy
Davis (subduer o f evil), who is holding
a series meeting at Stevensville, gave
the Patrons o f Husbandry a great mo­
mentum o n ’ their journey, and every­
thing went off smooth as a marriage
bell. Another Farmers’s Institute was
held at Mt. Tabor Grange Hall, on the
17th inst., but nothing o f any great
importance was accomplished.

hand between a belt and pully and
dislocated Ms wrist, which w ill never
be as good as it was. Next, Charles
Strong got close enough to the big saw
to take off two fingers close to the
knuckles (the two middle fingers), and
scratch the fore and little fingers a lit­
tle. A ll these accidents happened on
Wednesday forenoon. It is thought
by many and said by others that Fri­
day is the unlucky day, but not in these
instances. Cannot tell who is going to

TO TH E PUBLIC.
I wish to announce to the public
that the mistake made this season, at
my dressmaking shop, was purely a
mistake, in changing the goods brought
there by tw o parties, who w ill testify
to this .fact, thereby exonerating me
from all blame. There being many
false statements made regarding this
mistake, I feel it a duty which I owe
to myself to make this explanation:
Tw o ladies, Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Myler, each brought a dress pattern of
cashmere for me to make up, Mrs.
Phelps’ pattern containing eight yards
and Mrs. Myler's six. Through my
m istake' I exchanged patterns, hut
upon learning o f this I bought materi­
al and made it satisfactory to the par­
ties, whose names are signed below my
own.

Scientific Iconoclasm.
The doctors have been making a con­
certed attack on the convenient theory
that nearly all diseasss lark in certain
specific but unseen germs •which at their
own sweet Trill float about in the air.
The attack has not been unattended with
success, and germs for every description
o f ailments are being relegated to that
realm where ghosts and hobgoblins were
long since banished,
•Supported by several eminent British
and French physiologists, many of the
doctors are mating a sally upon the
Jennet discovery, and are insisting that
more disease is injected into the human
system by vaccination than is ever kept
ont—that, indeed, vaccination is a humbug, and, therefore, no preventive of
smallpox.
Laymen have been compelled to give
more or less credence to the new depar­
ture of the medical fraternity, but they
have sought consolation in thebelief that
the theory of malarial poisons, or “ miasmic germs,” was still left them. A las!
this prop is being knocked from under
them, and the compound of whisky and
qninine is no longer a boon. It is asser­
ted. and the assertion is supported by
the facts, that fever and ague obtain as
much on the hills as in the valleys; that
to dwell on the shore o f stagnant pools
and lagoons, surrounded b y a damp at­
mosphere, is as conducive to health as
to shiver on mountain peaks surrounded
by ice and snow. During the summer
it is claimed b y physicians that the
Inhabitants o f Sew Orleans who spear
young alligators and seek pleasure on
the banks o f the numerous ponds and
quagmires which surround the Crescent
City are fallyas robustand eat as heartily
and as regularly as 2*ew Yorkers who
datiy bathe at Manhattan Beach
or hunt and fish, among the Adiron­
dack^
There has been less fever and ague in
this immediate locality than for years
before.
The inhabitants of the bottom
hinds o f the Little and Big Miamis,
and way down on the Wabash, where
p. op’e have been known to eat
<..nly with a spoon, and at their regu­
lar daily banquets to have alternated
between a tablespoonful o f victuals and
a tabiospoonful of quinine, the “ shakes”
have been comparatively a stranger.
Is there some convulsions going
on in nature to thus antidote the
convulsions usually going on in human­
ity in these heretofore miasmic regions j?
Professor Chadboume, of Williams
College, cites the prevalence of agne on
the barren tops of the Bocky Mountains.
Has the eucalyptus tree planted in many
of these malarial localities compelled
the germs to “ flee to the mountains !”
At Elberon and in Washington the
physiologists have proved their ab­
solute infallibility. Their oufslaught
upon the germ theory must there­
fore be justifiable. The position they
take on miasma must be correct
Laymen can now expect any thing.
They can expect to be convinced that
joppermiut is no remedy for the colic,
that gout comes of long fasting, that
“ jiimjams'’ invariably follow a too fre­
quent use of ice-water, that indeed food
is entirely unnecessary and pain all im­
aginary.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
Donations to American Colleges.
Johns Hopkins gave $3,000,000 to the
university which bears fils name. John
C. Green presented Princeton with $750,000. The gifts o f Ezra Cornell and H.
W. Sage to Cornell University aggregat­
ed more than 31,000,000. Lafayette
College has received from Ario Pardee
more than 3500,000 since 1S64, and the
Western Reserve Gollege was endowed
with $500,000 b y Amasa Stone. Airs.
Ya'.eria G. Stone, the wife of a Boston
merchant, has bestowedmore than3600,000 on different American colleges,
among which curiously enough, Harvard
has not been included. Besides the
sums allotted io the Southern educa­
tional fund, George Peabody gave to
Yale and Harvard $150,000 each; to
Washington College, Virginia, $60,000;
to Kenyon, Ohio, $25,000, and to various
scientific institutions about $1,500,000.
Joseph E. Sheffield gave to the scientific
school of Yale nearly $100,000, and Am­
herst College received $150,000 from
Samuel Williston.
Nathahiel Thayer
and Nathan Matthews have each* given
more than a quarter of a million to Har­
vard University; and the gifts of the
younger Agassiz to the museum at Cam­
bridge, whichhis father founded, already
exceed $300,000, In general, it may be
said that the aggregate donations re­
ceived by American colleges since 1S60
equal their entire valuation in that year.
In the last twelvemonth covered b y these
statistics {,187$) the total amount of gifts
bestowed on collegiate institutions was
about $1,390,000. It had reached $1,271.000 in the preceding year. Abont
one-third of these amounts was given to
the colleges in New England, and more
than oue-half to the colleges of the sea­
board States.
Ohio Legislature Eighty Years Ago.
Michael Baldwin, the irrepressible and
uieorrigible, was no more dignified, ab­
stemious or moral in his position asSpeaker of the first Ohio House of Rep­
resentatives than he has been In former
years or lesser stations.
He presided
over the Chamber In 1803, 1801 and 1S05.
It is a matter of tradition that for his
own pecuniary benefit, and for the enter­
tainment among those of the legislators
who had a penchant for gami ng, he es­
tablished in his rooms the game of “ vingtet-un,” himself acting as hanker and
dealer, and as a matter of course winning
more frequently than any of the other
players. On one occasion, after much
drinking and a late setting at the gam­
bling-table, Baldwin found himself in
possession not only of all the money of
his companions, but of many of their
watches. In the morning the House of
Representatives was found to be without
a quorum; tint Baldwin, accustomed
to heavy drinking and late hours, was in
his place hack of the Speaker's desk.
Rapping savagely with his gavel, he de­
manded the roll-call of the House, and
ifcen sent the Sergeant-at-Arms out with
orders to bring in the delinquent mem­
bers. After an hour or so that -function­
ary returned, followed b y about a dozen
members of the Ohio Legislature, whose
blood-shot eves, suffused faces, unsteady,
shambling steps, and general air of
shamefacedness indicated the late hours
they had kept, and their heavy indul­
gences. W ith much, austerity of man­
ner, Baldwin reprimanded the tardy
members, reminded them of the cost
to which the infant State was subjected
b y paying of their p e r diems, and was
proceeding to further elaborate his cen­
sure on their late arrival and the conse­
quent delay of legislation, when one of
the delinquents, exasperated beyond
control, cried out, “ Hold on there, Air.
Speaker, hold on I How could we tell
what time it was, when the Speaker of
theH onsehad all the watches?” —A l­
fred Mathews, in H arper's Magazine.

I b eg leave here t o give notice that
b y the {fallowing I mean no reflection
on old bachelors; on the contrary, I
hold that, next to a Sue lady, the ne
plu s ultra, an old bachelor to be the
most charming being on earth. Inas­
much as b y living in “ single blessed­
ness” he of course does just as he
pleases, and, if he lias any genius, must
acquire a plentiful stock of whims, and
oddities, and whalebone habits, withont
which I esteem a man to be mere beef
vrithont mustard, good for nothing at
all but to run on errands for ladies, take
boxes at the theater, and act the part of
a screen at tea parties, or a walkingstick in the streets. I merely speak of
these old boys who infest public walks,
pounce upon, ladies from eVerv corner
of the street, and worry, and frisk, and
ramble, and caper before, behind and
round about the fashionable belles, like
eUdponies in a pasture, striving to sup­
ply the absence o f youthful whim and
hilarity b y grimaces and grins, and artificial vivacity. I have sometimes seen
one o f these “ reverend youths ” endeav­
oring to elevate his wintry passions into
something like love, b y basking in the
sunshine of beauty; and it did remind
me of an -old moth; attemp ting to fly
through a pane o f glass toward a light*
without ever approaching near enough
to warm itself, or
>r scorch its wings.—
Washington Ervins.
Female Smokers.
Many women fancy that woman suf­
frage is going to abolish man’s political
and moral vices b y force o f election and
legislation. All tins work of the imagina­
tion is o f the same sort as the fancy that
the freed woman’s chief object will be to
please man. A robust minded view ithat emancipation is to free woman from
all the restraints which servitude has
kept upon her conduct* and that she will
enjoy her freedom in the way that man
does.
And when emancipation sha:l
have brought equality, it is analogical to
conclude that when Darwin has pointed
ont in that lower stage of development
in which the French savant finds equality
of the sexes will be restored in the high
stage, and that the male will be that sex
in which the desire to be agreeable
to the opposite sex shall be the chief
motive.
A false assumption is that woman will
not be attractive to man if she smokes.
Why not, if the man smokes ? I f they
enjoy it* as they pretend, why deny the
enjoyment to women ? That which they
keep in their own months they cannot
call unclean in others. He whose mouth
is odorous with tobacco can have no
sensitiveness as to the same odor in
in other months.
Kissing is an ex­
change o f endearments peculiar to hu­
man kind. It is current coin of the
newly married.
I f the man’s lips are
reeking with tobacco, shall not the kiss
have stronger zest If the woman’s lips
exhale the same flavor ? Does he not
need this strong flavor to reach his own
highly flavored sensibility ?
If tobacco tanned lips be repulsive,
the wife needs to tan hers in the same
way In self-defense. The married state
is a leveler. One of the twain, who are
now one flesh, can not continue delicate
if the other is coarse. In many ways
they become, in fact* as in the marriage
theory. The wife o f a smoking man can
have no reason of cleanliness or delicacy
towards him to keep her from smoking.
He who smokes or chews can have no
delicacy to be revolted by a smoking or
che l ing woman.
This distinction is not seen in the
lower civilization Is a badge of woman’s
iuft rior state. She means not to rest
until she has overthrown all marks of
her slavery. Smoking is a social indul­
gence ; why forbid it to her who makes
social happiness ? Women have to take
the most of all that Is unwholesome in
the use of tobacco b y men ; why not
eomyemate them by sharing whatever
there is of enjoyment ? Beside the pro­
pensity of woman, from a very early
period of her existence, has been to de­
sire whatever was forbidden. Smoking
looks like enjoyment This is the chief
propagator. This temptation is continu­
ally before women.
But the question will be decided by
women, according to her own sweet will.
It will enter into the claim of equal
rights, and when thus the abstaining
comes to be associated with denial ol
rights, she will smoke to assert her
equality. When women have punctured
the dam of a great flood by claiming
rights. When the question takes the
shape o f the right to smoke, there is nc
question. When women shall he really
emancipated, she will act upon this mat­
ter according to her own will, freed from
those rules of conduct which are the
chains of her slavery, and relieved from
any necessity to consider whether it will
make her less agreeable to the man.
Smoking has a convenience which
woman needs as much as man. It is a
habit of stimulation which is exempt
from the reproach of intemperance. A
cigar is a stronger intoxicant than a dram,
but he who takes daily drains is called a
toper. One may keep his brain fuddled
all the while with tobacco ; may be so
subject to it that if he misses his cigar,
pipe or cud, he runs down, as the toper
when he misses his stated dram, and
yet, be not a subject for the temperance
crusaders; may himself be a crusader.
Here is a way in which women may get
a share of that incessant stimulation
which seems a necessity to men. With
unlimited cigars, and those positive
nerve stimulants, tea, and coffee, they
will have not a bad chance. The rest
will come with the expansion of their
minds bv freedom.— Cincinnati Gazette.

The Chivalrous “ Comanche Bill.”
An incident is related of Bill which
happened in Wichita. Bill rode into the
town dressed in a complete suit of buck­
skin and with a gang of honest rangers
at his hack. As he went along he saw a
“ counter-jumper,-’ as he was pleased to
call him, roughly catch a little girl about
18 years old by the shoulder and so­
licit her attention. The girl withdrew
her arm angrily, and just then the scene
fell under Bill’s personal inspection.
“ She was a poor girl,” says Bill,
“ and plainly clad in an old dress, hut I
wan’t going to see her insulted b y any
durned counter-hopper under my mount­
ain eyes, T jest jumped down from my
boss and I called for that fellow to stop.
He didn’t seem to want to, but I made
him stop. I took up the little girl in
my arms and sat her down on a box. I
took off her shoes and said to the coun­
ter-jumper : *Now, I want yon to get
down and lick the dust off the .soles of
that poor girl’s feet whom yon have in­
sulted 1’ Axd I made Mm do it. He
looked down in the muzzle of a 45-caliber
Colt’s for just abont half a minnte, raid
then he came to his milk like a little
lamb. And I made Mm lick that girl’s
feet for a plump two hours, though a
big crowd gathered around, but I had
all my men with me and did not care
whether they liked it or not.” —Kansas

Poisons.
We all have, a great liorror of being
poisoned, without exactly understanding
what it is. Poison is ft disorganization
of flesh and blood, or both. Poisons are
of two kinds : one, the result of medici­
nal agents taken into stomach or circu­
lation, the other the result of bites or
stings of living creatures. I will Bow
state two ideas, which, if generallyknown
and remembered, would save thousands
of lives every year. If yon have swal­
lowed a poison, whether laudanum, ar­
senic, or any other thing poisonous, put
a table-spoonful of ground mustard in a
glass of water, cold or warm, stir and
swallow quickly, and instantaneously the
contents of the Stomach will he thrown
np, not allowing the poisonous substance
time to be absorbed and taken into the
blood; and, os soon as vomiting ceases,
swallow the white of one or two new
eggs, for the purpose of antagonizing
any small -portion of the poison which
may have been left behind. Let the
render remember the principle, which is,
to get the poison ont of yon as soon as
possible; there are other things which
will have a speedy emetic effect, but the
advantage of mustard is, it is always at
hand, it act instantaneously, without any
after medicinal effects. The use of the
white of an egg is that, although it does
not nullify all poisons, it antagonizes a
larger number than any other agent so
readily attainable. But, while taking
the mustard or egg, send for a physician;
these are in order to save time, as the
difference of twenty minutes is often
death.
The “ Old Society” of Washington.
One will see on a bright afternoon a
carriage drawn b y a pair of fine hays.
On the box are two aristocratic negroes;
inside is the anstocratiC owner—an old
lady with the traces of youthful beauty
stfll about her. She represents what
thinks itself at the very topmost round
of the ladder, the old Washington and
Georgetown society, mainly composed
of the descendants of old Virginia and
Maryland families. Once in every five
years this old lady throws open her
mansion and gives a formal reception.
No one is invited In whom any of the
present generation has any interest, or
who has any interest in it. Grave old
men who were dandies in Jackson’s days,
and the very old Indies who recollect
“ D olly” Madison, sit aronnd the old
rooms, wla h are astonished, probably,
at the admission of air and sunshine into
their dusty old precincts, and at the in­
trusion of men and women who used to
come there often enoughin their younger
days, but who might easily have been
ghosts many years ago. They have the
courtly elegance of an older day, and to
listen to them one would think one’s
self in a by-gon° age.
About Moths.
The destruction caused by these little
pests can only be counted by millions
yearly, and they are the plague of every
housekeeper, unlcas you hermetically
seal a cask or box you can scarcely keep
a miller out, as she will crawl through a
good-sized pin-hole. Therefore we must
use something offensive, and the writer
has found nothing so effective and cheap
as petroleum paper, and even tar-roofing
paper will answer. Buy your paper in
rolls, cut in sections long enough to cov­
er the inside, the bottom and the sides,
and lap over on the top of the box. All
of the made of the hoxmust he covered,
and on the inside of this again place
wrapping paper to prevent the contact
of nice clothing with the petroleum pa­
per. Use a large box—no matter abont
its being very tight, as the paper will
cover the holes—and pack in all your
woolens and furs, filling it fulL Bring
the paper up which has been hanging
over tbe sides of the box, andletit cover
the hole so that the miller cannot enter
without crawling over the petroleum
paper, which she will never do. Nation
the cover of your box, and your clothing
is safe for three years, if you wish to
leave it that long. It is much cheaper
and does not evaporate like camphor,
and the carbolic acid in it seems to act
like an antiseptic on the animal fiber of
the wool, to preserve and make itkealtkfoL—Exchange.
A la rg e Collection o f Spiders.
Capt. Holden, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is
credited with an exceptionally valuable
collection of spiders, numbering nearly
25, GOO specimens, and embracing 4,000
species. * They are arranged in glass bot­
tles. with labels giving name, collector,
and locality. California furnished 5,000
specimens, and New England as many
more. One species is represented by 100
specimens, from all parts of the United
State-, showing how much effect en­
vironment has m modifying form. The
collection is supplemented by a fall and
complete catalogue of the literature of
the subject, comprising about 70,000referenees on 10,000 cards. This valuable
contribution to the study of this little
known branch of natural history he hopes
to complete and publish at an early day.
Advice 3,500 Years Old.
One of tbe oldest bools in existence
is a collection of proverbs by Ptalibotop,
an Egyptian, who lived somewhere about
the time of Abraham. Among Ins to.
junctions is the folio wing, wliioh we
commend to the writers on woman’s
emancipation, domestic economy, and
other topics, who may think that the
subjects which they discuss are fresh and
suggested by the increased intelligence
of modern civilization::
“ I f thou be wise, furnish thy house
well; woo thy wife and do not quarrel
with her; nourish her ; deck her out,
for fine dress is her greatest delight.
Purpose to make her glad as long aa
thou livest. She is a blessing which her
possessor should treat as becomes his
own standing. Be not unkind to her.”
This counsel is none the less useful at
tbe present day, because 3,500 years
have elapsed since it was given.
Bnined by a Spider.
Spiders crawling more abundantly
and conspicuously than usual upon the
indoor walls of onr houses indicate the
near approach of rain; but the following
anecdote intimates that some of their
habits are equally certain indication or
frost being at hand. Quartermaster
Disjonval, seeking to beguile the tedi­
um of hiB prison hours at Utrecht* had
studied attentively the habits of the spi­
der, and eight years of imprisonment had
given him leisure to be well versed inits
ways. In December, 1794, the French
army, on whose success his liberty de­
pended, was in Holland, and the
victory seemed certain if the frost,
then of unprecedented severity, contin­
ued. The Dutch envoy had failed to
negotiate a peace* and Holland was de­
spairing, when the frost suddenly
broke. The Dutch were now exulting
and the French Generals prepared to
retreat, hnt the spider Warned Disjonval.................
that the thaw.
thaw, would
"
'be of
short duration, and he knew that his
weather monitor never deceived. He
contrived to communicate with the army
of his countrymen and its Generals, who
duly estimated his character, and relied
upon his assurance that within a -few
d ayB the water would again be passable
bytroop8. They delayed their retreat.
Within twelve days frost had returned
— the French army triumphed. Dis­
jonval was liberated ; and a .spider had
brought, down ruin on the Dutch nation.
P r o f . B a o u d P i c t e t , of Geneva, is
engaged in working out a problem in
marine architecture, the proper solution
of which he believes will effect a revolu­
tion in ship building. TTia object of
stndy has been the construction of a
keel which shall cause the ship to glide
over the water instead-of pushing its
way through. Xho resistance of the
water to the passage Of a vessel is in
this way reduced to a minimum. He is
now experimenting with a keel upon this
principle.
D e s p i t e the terrible force of the shook
of -the electric eel—-a power eqnal to fif­
teenjLeyden jars—it is preyed upon by
«• little parasite fish, some two or three
inches in length, which appears utterly

of the shock.
