An Indianapolis gentleman’s claim for a divorce is based on the ground that when he married, a few weeks ago, his wife’s hair was black, but now it is red enough to entitle her to the front rank in a torchlight procession. There is a remarkable collection of darkcolored slabs in a Canandaigua (N. Y.) cemetery, marking the graves of the three wives of one man. They show that the first died in 1813, the second in 1814, and the third in 1815. A mother, trying to get her little daughter of three years to sleep one night, said.- “ Anna, why don’t you try to go to sleep!'” “lam try,” she replied. ‘‘But you haven’t shut your eyes.” “ Well, can’t help it; urn comes unbuttoned." Mayor Cobb, of Lynchburg, Va., before whom several negroes claimed the ownership of a dog, left the decision of the doubtful matter to the dog himself. Several of them called the intelligent animal pathetically, but he regarded them not; finally, onq t yelled out Butter, and, with a bark of joy, the dog rushed toward him, and decided the matter.' An enthusiastic voter of New Hampshire, an employe of a railroad company, was so eager to vote that he started alone at 8 o’clock in the evening from Plymouth in a hand car, and propelled it to Well’s River, a distance of forty-eight miles, on an up-grade of eighty-five feet in a mile, arriving at his destination at o’clock on the morning of election day. The engineer of a Boston train was shocked, soon after leaving Worcester, to see a three year old child on the track looking with wonder at the coming locomotive. He whistled “down brakes,’’ and, stopping the train, went back with a white face to find the little fellow picking himself up out of the mud in the ditch beside the track unhurt. The Pacific Tribune, published at Olympia, Washington Territoiy, reports, in a recent issue, a phenomenon, thus: “ Last night, between 7 and 8 o’clock, a young moon shone brightly in the west, while countless stars, glittering like diamonds, adorned the deep blue vault of heaven. Not a cloud was visible; yet it rained, and for newly an hour, with sufficient force to be plainly heard pattering upon the roof."

The Dubuque Times says: “ Some two years ago an Illinoisian, temporarily sojourning in this city, passed a $2 counterfeit bill upon an honest and unsuspecting brewer here. The Illinois man went home, but it seems that his conscience troubled him, and so, the other day, he addressed the victimized brewer a letter, enclosing (2 genuine currency, which he begged the brewer to accept, and forget, if possible, the wrong done.” It is. said of a late physician that he was waited upon one day by a neighbor to come and see a child sick with the croup. “ Oh, certainly,” replied the doctor; “if there is anything 1 pride myself on in iriy profession, it is my treatment of that disease.” As the doctor stepped out a moment to make ready, his waiting visitor was somewhat taken aback to hear him any to his wife, “ Sarah, what do you do for croup The Boston Transcript tells of a skunk that was caught last November at Newtonville, in a trap, but which escaped after leaving unmistakable evidences of its presence, taking the trap along. It was an ordinary steel muskrat trap, with a spring so powerful as to require the use of both hands and feet to set it, and had been tied to a neighboring tree-root with a strong cord. • A few days ago the skunk, with the trap still attached to its leg, was shot in the town or Peabody, a distance of twenty miles from Newtonville. Perhaps there never was a greater epicure in private life than one Mr. Rolgtone, of Lonaou, who in ten years literally ate urf a fortune of one hundred and fifty -tbflheand pounds sterling. He not only trsverad all Europe himself for the sole purpose of gratifying his appetite, but he had agents m Chino, Mexico, and Canada tojiupplyhim with the rarest delicacies. A single dish sometimes cost him fifty pounds sterling. Finally his fortune was reduced to a single guinea. With this he bought a woodcock, which he had served up in the highest style of culinary art. After resting two hours he jumped into the Thames from Westminster Bridge. Foolish spending is the father of pov1 erty. Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work for the best salary or wages you can get, but work for small wages rather than be idle. Be your master, and do not let society or fashion swallow up your indivi4u|Jity—hat, coat and boots. Do not eat up or wear out all you can earn. Compel selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your own appetite, but mercifttl to others’ necessities. Help others and ask no help for yourself. See that you are proud. Let your pride be of the nght kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to be in company that you ' cannot keep up within expense; too proud to lie, steal or cheat; 'too proud to be stingy.

Them is a man named Wilson in the town of Gordon, of whom a oarrespondent of the Miners' Journal tells this story: “Knowing him from past experience to be an unmerciful eater, especially when provided with something delicious, we provided for him one pie, weighing one and a half pounds; two sugar cakes, weighing one pound each; one honey cab, weighing one pound; cheese, onehalf pound; crackers, one-half pound. He then drank six tumblers of water, all of which being easily demolished, he went straightway to a supper table, at which, he again demolished one pound beef, one-half pound bread, one-half pound potatoes, and I

drank four'cup* of coffee. After consuming six and one-half pounds of food and about four quarts of water and coffee, as above-stated; he went his way rejoicing over a well spent afternoon. There is a man in the Massachusetts State prison, Just entering upon his imprisonment for life, who belongs to a respectable family, was brought up under good home influences, and is possessed of property to the amount of <10,000; but he had a monomania for. arson, and so great was his love of the crime that wherever he went to spend a few days a Are was pretty sure to occur. He once ]xiid a visit to the Isles of Shoals, and during his stay the first lire that ever was known on the islands occurred; during a visit he paid to West Amesbury several buildings were burned; three large clftirches were burned in Newburyport, and stables and barns without number. During his careefas an incendiary, which covered a jieriod of upward of ten years, nothing inflammable seemed to esca|>e him. Churches, workshops, dwc'lings, Imrns, and small outbuildings were alike his prey. He was arraigned under fifteen indictments, tried on two, and found guilty on both.

The President.

The ferocious abuse of General Grant by the Democratic press is an illustration of the real feeling of that party. It can not forgive his victory over the- rebellion. It hopes by a fog of slander to obscure the national remembrance of his great and glorious service to the country. But the people, of the United States know very well that the worst mistake of his administration is wliite as snow compared with the deeds of that nest of traitors and rebels, the last Democratic national administration. While the Democratic papers sneer at the Cabinet, whose personal character and efficient official service they can not question, the people have not forgotten the last Democratic Cabinet, in which Jeremiah 8. Black, who declared that the Union could not lawfully be maintained by arms, was Secretary of State; and Howell Cobb, one of the chief rebel chiefs, was Secretary of the Treasury, plotting to destroy the national credit; ami Jacob Thompson was Secretary of the Interior; and Isaac-Toucey, who sent the national ships out of reach, was Secretary of the Navy; and John B. Floyd, who tried to transfer the national arms to rebels before the war began, who fled as a rebel general from Fort Donelson, and who died execrated by every honorable American, was Secretary of War.

This precious society of patriots was the last Cabinet which the Democratic party furnished to the country, and its head was James Buchanan, whose supporters now gibe at General Grant! James Bu* cliauan was the faithful instrument of the slave masters, and when they raised their hands to destroy the Union and the government, that great Democratic statesman, under the advice of Jeremiah Black, whimpered that they had no nght to do so, but that the country had no right to help itself! These were the men whom the Democratic party and papers, which now abuse General Grant, called to power when they last carried a national election. And the party has not changed. As it was the organization by which slavery worked its will then, so it is that by which the Ku-Klux would work its will now. As it elected Vance to the Senate from North Carolina, Blair from Missouri, when he eaid that he would undo reconstruction by the army, so it would send Jefferson Davis from Mississippi, and Robert Toombs from Georgia, could it but have a little more encouragement. The Democratic hatred of General Grant is the Ku-Klux hatred of loyal men in the Southern States. He is the perpetual monument of the crushed rebellion. His presence in the White House is the constant assertion of the supremacy of the Republican principles of liberty, union, ana law. The same spirit which hissed at Lincoln as a gorilla and a despot, and at the Union soldiers as hirelings, denounced Grant in the field as a butcher, and scolds at him now as a fool. But he was not dismayed by Democratic rage when it took the form of fire, and he is not likely to be disheartened by it now that it is froth. But when the abuse is loudest it is well to reflect what party it is that utters it, and how its men and its services to the country compare with General Grant and what he has done. It is natural that those who thought Robert E. Lee a Christian hero should think GeneraLX^wJjPMfoher; that those who sneer afeLblfPlreet as unfaithful to his cause because, when conquered, he honestly surrendered, should refuse to honor General Thomas; and that those who excuse the horrors of Andersonville should make light of the Ku-Klux Klan. This is all natural, but is it to such a spirit that the government of the country can be safely intrusted I—Harper's Weekly.

The Force of Imagination.

An incident, which will be regarded as rather odd and uniifut, may serve as material for some curious speculations, as to the force of imagination, and also the sympathy between our visual and olfactory organs. Colonel Flint, of the Guards, a bully and duelist, described in the dramatis persona as a “ fireater,” was to stand with his back to the red-glowing chimneypiece in “Will’s Coffee House.” The period is that of George 1., when it was fashionable for great bloods of the day to smoke long pipes, designated as a “ yard of clay.” With such a pipe Colonel Flint had duly provided himself for rehearsal; and to make his stage business more perfect, soft-rolling clouds of smoke began to issue; from the bow], and float over the once famous coffee-room. In no time came the manager, speaking quickly, “My dear F ,on no account attempt to smoke I The Queen detests tobacco, and would leave the box immediately.” “ But there is no tobacco in the pipe,” replied the colonel. “ Oh—come—nonsense.” “Look here!”—and the Colonel took out of his waistcoat pocket a handful of dried herbs. “I got them in Covent Garden Market this morning, on the way to rehearsal.” “Well, we smelt tobacco the moment we came within sight of the stage,” said Mr. Dickens; “the pipe must be foul.”

“It is quite a new pipe!” Mark Lemon now came up, and protesting that he also had smelt tobacco, and that the pipe must have been an old one reburnt, to look clean, the offending clay was flung aside. Before the next rehearsal, however, an other pipe, warranted new and pure, was obtained, independent of which it was placed in the fire, and kept there at white heat long enough to purify it ten times over, even had it been one of the unclean. Again the cloud began to unfold its vol times over “Will’s Coflee Room;” and this time Sir Joseph Paxton came running from the seats in front to the stage, declaring that the Queen so detested the smell of tobacco that smoking must really not be attempted. Once again the Colonel protested the innocence of his pipe, in proof of which he produced a handful of dried thyme and rose leaves from his waistcoat pocket In vain. Sir Joseph insisted that he smelt tobacco! “They all smelt it!” So thia second yard of clay was sent to shivers. « But the Colonel had chanced to see a “ Model of the Battla of Waterloo” exhibited some years before in Leicester square, in which the various miniature platoons of infantry, as well as the brigades of artillery, were supposed to be firing vcßleys, the clouds and . wreaths of smoke being

fragile fixture*. These capital imitations of clouds and wreaths of smoke were discovered, on very close examination, to be composed of extremely fine and thinly drawn out yeba of cotton, supported on ring* and long twirl* of almost invisible wire, and attached at one end to the mouths and ifiuzzles of the miniature cannon and musketry. This .model for a triumph in the art of smoking a pipe in the presence of a Queen who abhorred tobacco, was nowadopted by (Joi. Flint, but held in reserve frym the morning rehearsal for the fulldress rehearsal of the same night, when there would be a preliminary audience. He ventured to flatter himself that all these delicate considerations and assiduities would lie much applauded and complimented, both by the accomplished author and the management Far from it. No sooner was the cloud of apparent smoke perceived to issue from the pipe, tlian the manager, stage manager and Sir Joseph Paxton hurried together to the too assiduous guardsman, lagging him on no account to persist in smoking!— the smoke—or this (on examining the smoke) appearance of smoking. ’lt would lie most injudicious. Her Majesty would think she smelt tobacco, and this Would lie as bad as if Her Majesty really smelt it. At the same time they added, collectively, that they themselves had smelt tobacco, no matter from what source or what, cause! Of course, there was an end to the matter, as we were all anxious to be harmonious; and the discomfitted “ fire-eater ’’ of the company did the best he could to bully the company in “Will’s Coffee Room” with his emptybowled and immaculate yard of clay.

Hints to Comik Lekturers.

BY JOSH BILLINGS. (,'omik lecturing iz an unkommon pesky to do. It iz more unsarting than the rat-ketch-ing bizzness az a means ov grace, or az a means ov livelyhood. Most ennyboddy thinks they kan do it, and this iz jist what makes it so bothersum tew do. When it iz did jist enuff, it iz a teriflek success, but when it iz overdid, it iz like a burnt slapjax, very impertinent. Thare aint but phew good judges ov humor, and they all differ about it. If a lekturer trys, to be phunny, he iz like a boss trying to trot backwards, pretty hpt tew trod on himself. Humor must fall out ov a mans mouth, like musik out ov a bobalink, or like a yung bird out ov its nest, when it iz feathered enuff tew fly. Whenever a man haz made up hiz mind that he iz a wit, then he iz mistaken without remedy, but whenever the publiek haz made up their minds that he haz got the disease, then he haz got it sure. Individuals never git this thing right, the publick never git it wrong. The publick never cheat themselfs, nor other folks, when they weigh out glory. Thare iz just 16 ounces in a pound ov glory, and no more, that is, by the publick steelyards. Humor iz wit with a roosters tail feather stuck in its cap, and wit iz wisdom in tight harness. No man kan be a helthy phool unless he haz nussed at the brest ov wisdom. Those who fail in the comik bizzness are them who hav bin put out to nuss, or bin fetched up on a bottle. If a man iz a genuine humorist, he iz superior to the bulk ov hiz aujience, and will often times hav tew take hiz pay for hiz services in thinking so. Altho fun iz designed for the millyun, and ethiks for the few, it iz az trpe az molasses, that most all aujiences hav their bell wethers, people who show the others the crack whare the joke comes laffing in. I hav known popular aujiences deprived ov all plezzure, during the recital ov a comik lektur, just bekauze the right man, or the right woman, want thare tew point out the mellow parts. The man who iz anxious tew git before an aujience, with what he calls a comik lektur, ought tew be put immediately in the stocks, so that he kant do it, for he iz a dangerous person tew git loose, and will do sum damage. It iz a very pleasant bizzness tew make people lass, but thare i« much odds whether they lass at yu, or lass at what yu say. When a man laffs at yu, he duz it because it makes him feel superior to you, but w-hen vu please him with what yu have uttered, he admits that yu are superior tew him. The only reazon whi a monkey alwus kreates a sensashun whareever he goes, is simply bekauze—he is a monkey. Everyboddy feels az tho they had a right tew- criticize a comik lektur, and most ov them do it jist az a mule criticizes things, by shutting up both eys and letting drive with hiz two behind leggs. Humor haz but phew rules tew be judged by, and_theyjire so delikate that none but the most delikate kan define them. It is dredful arbitrary tew ask a man tew lass who don’t feel the itch ov it.

One ov the meanest things in the comik lektring employment that a man haz to do, iz tew try and make that large class ov hiz aujience lass whom the Lord never intended should lass. There is sum who lass az eazy and az natral az the birds do, but most ov mankind lass like a hand organ—if yu expect .tew git a lively tune out ov it yu hav got tew grind for it. In delivering a comik lektur it iz agood general, rule to stop sudden, sometime before yu git through. This enable the aujience, if they hav had enuff, tew be satisfied with what they hav had, and if they want enny more, it enables them tew hanker for it. I know it iz dredful tuff, when a man iz on one end ov a stick ov molassiss kandy, tew quit till he gits clean through; but he musn’t forgit that hiz aujience may not be so sweet on molassiss kandy az he tz. I hav got a very lonesum opinyun ov the the comik lektring bizziness, and if I waz well shut ov it, and knu how to git an honest living at ennything elsd (except opening klams and keeping a districkt skool),I would quit tommorrow, and either trade oph mi lektur for a grindstone, or sell it to the proprietors ov sum insane hospital, to quiet their pashunts with. I don’t urge ennybody tew cultivate the comik lektring, but if they feel phull ov something, they kan’t tell what, that bites, and makes them feel ridiklous, so that they kan’t even saw wood without laffing tew thpmselis all the time, i suppose they hav goLfhe fun ailment in their bones, and had better let it leak out in the shape ov a lektur. But I advise all such persons to pitty themselfs, and when they lay a warm joke, not tew akt az a hen doth when she haz uttered an egg, but look sorry, and let sum one else do the cackling. If I had a boy who showed enny strong marks ov being a comik critter, if i couldn’t get it out ov him enny other way, i would jine him to the Shakers, arid make him weed ouions for three years, just for Fork Weekly. —Robert Chambers, the celebrated pub lisher, who recently died in Edinburgh, worth, it is said, some £600,000, began life as a poor boy, entirely dependent on his own exertions, laying the foundations of his fortunes by opening a small circu! latftig lib'fary with a little borrowed money. —One hundred and twenty-seven mothers in Worcester, Mass., seconded by all the physicians in the place, have united in asking that the afternoon sessions of the lower grade of .schools may be shortened.

Pleasant Information for Tipplers.

The black ant* of Sweden are a formida'ble race of workers, much larger than any we have here. They make sad havoe with the grains, and as they travel in processions, each with a wheat grain or some other dainty for winter store, they present a formidable array—curious spectacle for the philosopher. The sting of these animals is veiy sharp, and some what poisonous. The best policy to observe is, when meeting a procession of these workers, to turn aside and give them the right of way. for they will grip their grain tightly, ana give sting after sting, losing very little timd for revenge, and then on to their wellordered, well stored homes. The Swedes have learned a way of utilizing these little animals, sting and all. They waylay them on these Journeys, catch them by hand, in nets and sieves, anyway to get them, and plump they go into the seething brandy distillery, and on them depends the peculiar flavor of Swedish brandy. It is so smooth, so oily, so pungent; has such a delicious flavtfr; in snort, is everything enchanting; and then they have the loveliest little glasses, that hold a thimble still, so thin, fragile, and beautifully artistic, that they would almost tempt an ascetic to drink anil catch the de vine afflatus, but it only takes one drink to intoxicate, and then delirium tremens soonfollows. We haveseen a lady jump from the table and scream because a red ant ran across her plate, but she would sin this brandy from the little glass, and extol its flavor. t In Newark cockroaches are used very extensively in the manufacture of delicious wines, which are made there from cider, poor whiskey, logwood and other aboffiinations.—Exchange.

How to Manage Spring Pigs.

In answer to this question, put by one of its contributors, the American Agriculturist has the following: It depends on the breed, the food at command, the conveniences for feeding, the probable price for pork next fall, and the price a year lienee. We should premise, however, that in any case the pigs should have all they will eat of some kind of food.. The only difference to be made between growing pigs and fattening pigs is in the character of the food. A fattening pig requires rich, concentrated food; a growing pig a more bulky and less nutritious food; but, in either ca.se, the pig, to do well, must have all it Will eat. If you have a small-boned, well-bred pig, such as a grade Essex or Berkshire or Suffolk, we think it would be far more profit able as a rule to fatten spring pigs than to winter them over. Let them have the run of a clover pasture, all the slops and milk from the house, and all the com and other grain in water twenty-four hours before feeding. If well bred, such treatment should give you pigs that will dress 300 pounds by the first of December. On the other hand, if you have a coarse, largeboned breed of pigs, the better plan will be to winter them over. In this case, give them the run of a good clovei 1 pasture, plenty of water, what waste from the house you have to spare, and a little grain to keep them growing as rapidly as possible. •

—lt may surprise some readers to know that the oleander, so popular as a house and garden plant, is extremely poisonous. Dr. T L. Wright, in a communication to the Bellefontaine (O.) Republican, says that he was called to attend a child a few days ago who had eaten some small fragments of an oleander bush that had been clipped off. The symptoms were sudden and violent, and the result nearly fatal. Deathly prostration, sunken eyes, great pallor, incessant vomiting, extreme thirst, and purging were the predominating symptoms.

Be Guided by What You Know.

There is an old proverb which says, “Experienoe is the safest guide.” To this guide the sick and ailing naturally turn when casting about for the means of relief. They inquire what a medicine has done for others before they adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and preventives in use, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters meets the test most triumphantly, and hence its immense popu 1 AHty and vast sales. The sufl’erer from indigestion is sure to ’’find some one among his friends who has been cured of that ailment by the famous vegetable stomachic. The victim of fever and age, liver complaint, constipation, nervous prostration, or general debility, has only to make inquiry in the neighborhood where he resides in order to discover what this standard restorative has effected in cases similar to bis own. In the published testimony to its merits he will find a volume of proofs of its sanitary properties, which it is impossible for his common sense to resist. He tries it, and the effecs it produces on his system adds another to the host of witnesses in its favor. Thus its reputation, founded on facts, not assertions, centinually grows and spreads. Charlatans and imposters, some of them mere local tricksters, and others who take a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands and down the throats of invalids their haphazard concoctions, as substitutes for the tonic which for so many years has been a medicinal staple throughout the United States, Spanish America, Canada, and the w est Indies, but only succeed to a very limited extent.

“ It Saved My Life.” WORDS OF A RUIABLE DRUGGIST. What is the Value of Money when Coinl>ared to Health? Ur toad the following from a reliable druggist of Michigan: ~, ... r Mafjxs Citv, Michigan,? July 27,1870. j J. N. Harbts & Co.—Dear Sirs: The Alien’s Lung Balsam has arrived. I would not like te> be without it for it has saved my life. I took a bad cold and a cough, and finally consumption was seated upon me. I was in ft very bad state. I tried everything that was recommended, and spent a great deal of money and got no help. I had the /Vilen’s Lung Balsam for sale, but I knew nothing oi its merits. I did not like to take it without knowing more about it. I had not sold a bottle when your agent called on me. I told him I couM not sell a medieinc I knew *io(hlng about. He urged me to try it myself. I did so, and to my grateftil surprise the first liottle stopped my cough, and before the third bottle was taken my lungs were healed and well, and I can now six'ak knowingly to my friends and Customers of the quality of Alien’s Liing Balsam. I remain, respectfully, L. C. COTTREL. ALLEN'S LUNG - BALSAM Is warranted to break up the most troublesome Cough In an incredibly short time. There is no remedy that can show more evidence of real merit than this Balsam for curing Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Croup, &c. It Acts on the Kidneys, It Acts on the Liver, Which makes It more than a Cough Remedy. It is harmless to tlie most delicate child. It contains no Opium In any form. < jy It Is sold by medicine dealers generally. CAUTION. Call for Alien's Lung Balsam, and shun the use of any other balsam. J. N.
