holic beverages, asserted that the •' bable

birth until they are weaned."
The Alaska Herald says that In Nushik,
• Alaska, In latitude 02 degrees north, the
thermometer on the coldest day of last
winter indicated twelve degrees above
zero, and that out-door work can be mic-
cessnilly carried ou there from the 1st of
April to the middle of October.
A turkky hen in Lancaster county, IV,
disappeared from her usual haunts a few
weeks ago, and returned alter a short ab-
sence, accompanied by a brood of young
partridges, which she is now taking care
of In the most motherly way. The little
strangers arc said to be very tame.
A Coronck'b Jury In Boston lately
found a verdict declaring that the use of
chloroform as an anaesthetic Is unjustllla-
ble, and that legislative means should be
taken to prevent its administration. The
death which resulted from it lu this case,
as in many similar instances, was caused
by its administration to a person who was
about to undergo a dental operation.
A woman suffering from bulimia has
lately died in Paris at the age of forty-

the Prestwich Lunatic Asylum, and work-
ed at his trade tnere. He had a great
taste foresting iron, and died suddenly on
September 18. The post-mortem exam-
ination showed that the stomach contain-
ed one pound ten ounces of nails, some an
inch and a half long, several pieces of iron
half an inch square, and an awl without
handle. His death resulted from peri-
tonitis.
A gbnti.kman in Boston owns the old-
est umbrella. He says : " I have now In
my possession an old, green silk umbrella,
presented by my grandfather to his wife
when they commenced housekeeping, in
1707, in Halifax. N. S. Emigrating to
Massachusetts in 1770, he took sides with
the patriots and had a new handle attached
to Ills umbrella, bearing the design of an
eagle, surrounded by thirteen stars. The
frame and handlo are In a state of perfect
preservation, but the silk cover is some-
what frayed—as might he expected from
an umbrella 107 years old."
A correspondent of the New York
Timet writes from San Francisco: The
Chinead in Cidifomia buy their wives.
My Celestial, Ah-Sam, who dusts out my
office, has recently Imported one. Sam
sent money to his mother,and In due course
of time the purchase arrived, and Sam
brought her down for my inspection. She
was as ugly a Chinese woman as I ever
saw. I said, " Sam, not handsome, eh ? "
Sam says, "No, no handsome much:
handsome gal cost heap money, and all
time kick up—bobbery." 8am had tlio
correct Idea of it, and was wisely content
with a plain article that was most likely
to stay by him. Sain Informed mo that
the original cost, with freight and charges,
was three hundred dollars—ail It was
worth.
Accordino to a correspondent of tho
Marietta
hiflMtt
followed to tho grave by a
had been tliu child's pet in Ufu. The ani-
mal persisted In remaining beside tho
burial-place until the last sod was replaced,
and then followed the bereaved family
back to the houso. At night she returned
to the burylng-grouiul, and, being follow-
ed and watched, was seen to work franti-
cally with all fbur feet until she had com-
•plctely leveled the little mound over tlie
■grave. Then she went home again; but
>on the following morning was seized with
a flt exactly at the hour of the child's sud-
den sickness, and died at the very moment
corresponding with tho instant of the
child's death.
At the foot of the Chestnut Hills, in
North Coventry, Chester county, Pa., re-
side two eccentric bachelors, Messrs. John
and Frederick Hamilton, who are now be-
tween sixty and seventy years of age.
They IIvo happily together, have no wo-
men about to give them curtain lectures
when they are out o' nights, nor tenderly
care for them in-their hours of sickness.
They keep separate tables, do their own
cooking, wastilngand mending, make their
own beds, and do all necessary work that
Is to be doue about a well-regulated house-
hold. Besides being good housekeepers
these old gentlemen are of an inventive
turn of mind. They recently Invented a
threshing-machine, which is worked with
a crank. Five hundred sheaves of wheat
and fifty bushels of oats were threshed out
by it one day.
Six giraffes have arrived nt the Garden
i of Acclimation hi Taris, the oldest of which
Is three years of age. Tho giraffe Is a na-
tive of Africa, and used to inhabit the
country from Nubia to tho Cape of Good
Ilope.'but It, is said now to be restricted to
a small canton of Abyssinia. All attempts
at domesticating tho animal have failed in
Africa, yet it i* easily tamed in Europe.
In its nativo haunts It roams in herds of
. from Ave to fifty, browsing on the leaves
and small branches of trees. It is Inoffen-
sive, and seeks to escape danger by flight;
yet if hard pressed will light stoutly, dis-
charging a storm of kicks with Its hind
legs that will even beat off the lion. Its
running pace Is swifter than that of a fleet
horse, and It moves over uneven ground
With great advantage. The tlesh of the
giraffe is called palatable, and Its marrow

A writer on "French Girls" says:
"Many a girl in Franco has never slept out-
side of her mother's chamber until she left
itto be married, 'and at the worst she Is no
ftirther off than the next room, with the
door open between. Such unceasing
neighborhood brings about an action
which may be not only intellectual and
moral^hut possibly physical aud magnetic
too. Hence it it that French women exer-
olse such lingular power over their girls,
and that the girls so generally become an
exact reproduction of the mother, under
whose oonstant eye they have grown to
womanhood. Between the transparent
frankness of the child's nature and the in-

.French families of the upper class, and
whioh may almost be said to belong to
them as their names do. The same quall-
• ties and -the same defects are reproduced
among the old nobles from generation to
-generation,' • When a wife Comes In from
another origin, she may try perhaps to In-
troduce new elements; but they getef-
fcced, or, at all events, weakened, by the
old traditions with which they have to con-
tend ; so that the main features of the
hpuae continue to be recognisable, the
child appropriates them and hands them
off again when she, In her turn, becomes

HOME INTEBE8TS.
Harvard Puddino.—0 ounces of flour,
6 ounces of butter beaten to a cream, 4
eggs, 6 ounces of raisins chopped very
fine, 0 ounces of pounded loaf sugar,
fluvored according to taste with eithur
lemon or almond; bell 3 hours.
Flannel Rolla.—1 cup sweet milk,
whites of 2 eggs,) cup of butter, flour to
make a thick batter, J cup of yeast, 2 table-
spoonfuls of sugar. Raise over night; add
tne butter and eggs in the morning; work
in some flour, making a limber dough;
form Into rolls, and after the second rising
bake.
ScorcM Broth.—Put a teacupful of
pearl barley Into 4 quarts of cold watpr.let
It boll, add 2 pounds of scrag of mutton or
thin flauk of beef, 2 onions, 2 turnips, 2
carrots cut in dice, and 1 carrot grateg ;
boll slowly for 3 hours, add salt and pep-
per to taste before removing from the lire
—a Scotch recipe.
Potato Starch.—Grate the potatoes,
after paring them, Into a large pan of cold
water. Stir It up for a few moments, then
let it settle; pour off all the water, spread
on a platter, and dry In a cool oven, (n
regions where starch mills abound, it is
easier to buy the starch of the producer
than to make so small a quantity. It is
delicious for puddings, and Is the best pos-
sibly thickening for soups.
Wax for Seauno Pickles.— In an old
earthi-n dish mix 2 pounds of resin with J
pound of yellow beeswax, or a couple of
tablespoon fuls of mutton or beef tallow;
when well melted together, dip in the
oí Uh bottles, as well as the oorks,
ami it will seal them air-tight. But take
care not to have the mixture boiling hot,
as it might canse the necks of the bottles to
crack. It can be put on the corks of the
pickle jars with an old iron spoon.
Mixed Pickles.—Those who possess a
vegetable garden do well toward the close
of the season to keep an omnium gatherum
pickle jar containing strong vinegar, in
which to throw small tomatoes, tiny ears
of corn, cauliflower sprigs, radish pods,
small onions, strawberry tomatoes, nas-
turtions. and small cucumbers. When the
jar is full, pour oft' the vinegar, spice it
with pepper corns or green peppers,cloves,
allspice, salt and ginger. Ada turmeric or
mustard seed to yellow It. Boil i^ from
ten to fifteen minutes and turn It over the.
pickles.
Kaked Ai'Plb Dumplings.—Roll out
some dough thicker than pie crust, and
inclose a handfUl of sliced ripe apples well
covered with sugar and butter. Bring the
edges together as In any other dumplings.
When as many are made as desired, place
tlicm side by side In a pudding pan, spread
butter and sugar over them, and pour boil-
ing water to about half cover tne dump-
lings. Put them in the stove and cook
moderately fast until they are -nicely
browned. The butter, sugar, and*water
make a nice sauce, which eatl be.enriched
with more butter and flavored with nut-
meg if desired.
Pickled Red cabbáoii.*^When the cab-
bages are taken from their stalky in tli?
late autumn, take off all their outlet leaves,
and let them lie in a cool Place for two or
three weeks to harden. Then cut them
into thin strips, and putin a shallow earth-
en vessel, covered with plenty of fine salt,
and keep them for several days. The re-
sult is that the salt will draw out a great
deal of the sap of the cabbage, and leave
room for the vinegar to-replice It, Now
pack the shreddetfeabbage into the jará as
lightly as possible, and if onions are liked,
a mixture of them, chopped fine, will be
au addition. Soli a gallon of strong cider
videgar with 2 tablespoonftils of mustard
seed, 1 of cloves, 1 of cinnamon, 2 of pep-
per-corns, and 1 of allspice, tied together in
a bug, and bruised with a hammer. Wash
and cut lengthwise a large root of horse
rudish, and lay over the top of the jar
when the pickles are in it. Horse-radish
will prevent all kinds of pickles from
molding.
Pickled Radish Pods.—In most gar-
dens a lew radishes will remain which have
grown too big and corty to cat. Let them
stand, if not for seed at least for pickles, as
they make a delicious addition to the
housewife's store. Gather the pods when
the seeds are full grown but soft, like green
peas. Pour over tifcm scalding salt and
water, and let them stand: in it until the
next day. Then take out, dmin.bnd pack
in a jar, and pour over them hot spiced
vinegar, made by the same recipe as for
red cabbage pickle. Tie down the,cover:
but hi a few days you will need to add
more vinegar, because the pods will have
absorbed a good deal oí It. Then fasten
up tightly.
Yaller Moses's Sermon—The Blessings
-•of Poverty.
A correspondent of the New Vork
Evening Post, in a letter from Healing
Springs, Va., writes as follows: Last Sun-
day I assisted at a baptismal meeting con-
ducted by " Yaller Moges," at the pool on
Jackson River, in front of tho "Oak
Swamp Aleetin'-honse." Moses is what
one might call a sensation preacher. He
can read, but otherwise is totally unedu-
cated, and speaks In the broadest negro
dialect. Ou tills occasion there were only
four candidates for baptism—three women
and one man, Zeb Jenkins. Jenkins had
long been looked upon as a hardened sin-
ner. He was born aud raised hi Dinwid-
dle, was brought up by a gentleman from
Ly nchburgh. and has for the last ten years
gained a precarious livelihood bv working
around here and there for the farmers iu
the upper valloy of the Jackson River.
He is Detween fifty and sixty years of age.
There was a sermon before the baptism.
Moses is very fond of showing his know-
ledge of the holy book, which he always
' bs, verse, chapter and page. He ap-
parently thinks this gives him Importance
in the eyes of the simple people whom lie
addresses. His sermon on the Sunday in
question was so reipwckablo as to make me
take short izotes of it, which I hert: give:
JelUbbed bruddern and sisters. I take
my text dls day irom de gospel of St. Mat-
thew, chapter nineteen, verse twenty-four.
1 ltla easier lor ft camel to go through de
eye of a needle than for a rich man to en-
ter into de kingdom of God.' likewise,
also from de gospel of St. John, chapter
fifth, verse twenty-nine: ¿'Sarch ye de
soripture8.' I often hear de cullud man
,)'alu of his hard lot In dls Ufe;
"he Bay he do notin but hoe corn,
split wood, and plant potatoes,
while the white folks dress up line, .and
ride round de country on hosa back a
sinokln' Lone Jack tobacoo. You, Bill
Flanders, who's slttln' thar on the second
bench, wid your new brack coat, yer was
a lamentln' to me no later dan todder day
tho' ver work hard allvde year round yer
lef off no richer In December den when
yer commence in January. Yer don't
want to be port ver want to be rich.
Why yer por simple benighted African,
poverty Is de «iftteet bresatng; wo should
all pray for it. De por man he go to
heavtn wldout going trou do eye ob a
needle, but de rich man he must trabel on
dat road and I will lis show you what a
mighty por chance ne has ob gettln frou
de eye of de needle. De camel Is a berry
large animal, and la used in de east as •
beast of burden; when I say de east I
don't mean east Virginia, but de far east
ob which St. Matthew «peak In de second
chapter and first verse ob his gospel, where
he say: 'Beheld dere come wise men
from de east to Jerusalem.' Your 'spect-
ed preacher was in dat situation hlsself till
he visit 'Old John Robinson's 'trickly
moral show' whioh pass dis way las week.
Dose of my bruddern and sisters who has
seen de camel iu dat show will understand
the greit difficulty he would hab la get-
ting frou de eye ob a needle, on account ob
de hump on his back. If a man be por
an' honest an' truthful, he go straight to
de kingdom ob God without bell e trou-
bled by de needle. But yer must likewise
'«arch de scriptures.' Lew Marshall tell
Bob White las' Sunday, 'How can we
"sarch scriptures" when we done got no
Bible, and donno how to read ?' Yes, I
heár him say so. I reckon you think
*Yaller Moses' ísgwineto search the scrip-
tures for the whole oongregation. No,
old Moses can't make yer good ; he can
izv
lair, and dra her howlin' to de light ob
day."
Sheepskin at a Discount.
A recent graduate, whose name is hard-
ly dry yet in the triennial catalogue, armed
himself with his diploma and started in
search of a situation In the metropolis.
Having removed his diamond studs and
donned his last year's hat, he sailed Into a
counting-house, aud bade the old gray-
haired serf to show him into the senior
partner's office. On coming luto the pres-
ence of the bald-headed millionaire he
made an obsequious, we might ¡.ay a hu-
miliating, bow. He stated that he was iu
' of a situation. The man said:
sir. what can you dof" " Any-
replied our mend. "What sal-
ary do you expect?" was th& next inquiry
bf the old buffer. "Oh, well, $1,200 will
do." " Why, my young man, I can get
two thousand clerks, competent men at
that, for $5 a week." The grad'iato at this
stage of the game pulled out his diploma
and exolaimea, "You may not be aware
of it, sir, but I am a graduate of Yale, and
here is my diploma." " If that Is the case,
1 do not want you at any price." The
alumnus grew red in tho face, and turning
to the old man, said: " Before i will work
for $5 per week I will chew air for nour-
ishment on the front Steps oi the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Good morning."
Chinese Ideas of Death.
A wealthy man condemned to death will
arrange with his jailer to buy him a sub-
stitute for a certain snm of money, to be
spent on the poor wretch's interment and
preservation of his body. .Should lie have
parents, so much Is tieually paid to them
1 ft.compensation for Uieirsou'slife. China-
it invariably ftfel'p' to support their pár-
ente} filial respect aud devotion is the
great Chinese virtue and religious precept ,
in which they rarely fail. Regarding
death as inevitable, he makes the best of a
bad bargain, and cunningly and comically
aid for'
gets paid for'dying. The wholesale de-
struction of life in this country is greatly
the result of indifference. Hence the mas-
sacre of Europeans, so terrible to us, seems
to them a matter of little moment, and
they cannot comprehend why we should
make so much fuss about it. They regard
our indignant protestations very much as
we might treat our irate neighbor whose
dog we had shot.
Old Humbugs Discarded.—Thank
heaven, the old-school practice is passing
away. Ipecac, aloes, calomel, blistering,
the lancet, and (worse than all) medicated,
rum, have given place to a new remedy,
which bids fair to become the universal
medicine of mankind. Vinegar Bitters
is that remedy* It is destined to take pre-
cedence of all curatives now before the
world. The pharmacopoeia and conspec-
tus of the regular Faculty contaiu nothing
that will compare with it. Every day hun-
dreds óf the sick aré emancipating them-
selves from systems of treatment which
entail great expense and do no good, and
are Hying to this cheap and absolutely cer-
tain means of relief. Dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, liver complaint, periodic fevers,
sick headache, kidney diseases, constipa-
tion, nervous affections, and, in short, all
maladies, acute <?r chronic, which do not
Involve the Irreparable injury of some vital
organ, aré1 cured 'by tills pure inalcoholic

VINEGAR BITTERS
Dr. J. Walker's California , in
egar Bitters aro a purely Vegetable
preparation, madó cliiclly from the na-
tive herbs found 011 tho lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the urn
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, " What is tho cause of the
unparalleled succoss of Vinegar Bit-
tkks?" 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 lienovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of tho world has a medicine been
■hi 111 pounded possessing tho remarkable
^utilities of Viskoab Hitters 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 ot
ihe Liver ana Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dn. Walker's
V mKOAR'BiT'rKRs are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Bedatiire. Cóunter-Irrita,nt, Sudorific, Altera*
•ive. and Anti-Bilious.
