BREVITIES.

Shk is called honey because she is—beeloved. A farmer’s crib is a gnawful place for rats. Epitaph for the tomb of American Girl —‘•A kind-hearted creature, but very fast.” The “ National Air” (according to the “intelligent foreigner”)—The American spit-toon. Acquired oratory is as a moth to an eagle as compared to the eloquence of sincerity. Jet is entirely out of fashion, not so much as a bead being admissible this season. —Paris Correspondence., -* There are those that think we should take care of the poor Indian because he is so willing to take hair of us. Deer are so numerous in El Dorado County, Cal., that complaint is made that they are ruining the vineyards. A young lady, being charged by a gentleman with having trifled with his feelings, exclaimed: “Well, I ple;id jilty.” Tt was observed of a deceased lawyer that he had left but few effects, to which a lady remarked that “he had but few causes.” A Milwaukee lad}' who paid fifty dollars to have a wart removed from her nose now wants to know what has become of the nose. They met; that is, she went to the store And made him turn his department o’er. Till he vanished behind the goods, and then She pleasantly said she would call again. “Are you ‘‘the mate of the ship; asked an emigrant of the cook, who "was an Irishman. “ No, sir,” was the reply, “ I am the, man who cooks the ma te ” Martha Jane finds in her Bible that the ant is held up as a pattern of industry. She therefore indignantly wants to know why lazy, idle schoolboys should be called lru(e)ants. A Detroit mother can’t understand how it is that her girls can play croquet half a day and not feel tired, and yet if one of them is asked to wash the dishes she reaches for the camphor bottle. “My articles do not receive a very warm reception of late.” “ Our fair correspondent is mistaken,” replied the editor; “they meet with the warmest reception possible. We burn them all.” The Butte (Cal.) Mercury tells of a band of sheep being brought down from the mountains and turned into a wheatfield. Over 100 head died in one night from eating wheat and drinking water.

A shocking account of the maltreatment of Jews comes from Bagdad. One old Jew was burned alive by the populace. The excuse tor these barbarities was that the Jews had been guilty of blasphemy. In the Monongahela coal-trade there are now engaged 125 steam tow-boats and 3,000 barges and boats, having an aggregate tonnage of 1,300.000 -a tonnage greater than all the rest of the Mississippi Valley. The Boston -journal sees in the sea-ser-pent a fraud, and alludes to the singular feature in the habits of the creature that he never visits our coast except when boarders are desired at the seashore resorts. " ~ r The Emperor and Empress of Russia wear pretty good clothes. The latter has a red velvet mantle, lined with 228 sable skins and valued at about $26,000. The Emperor has a cloak of blue fox-skin, worth $24,000. “ I wasn’t so very late —only a quarter of twelve.” “ How dare you sit there and tell me that I lie ? I was awake when you came in, and looked at mj- watch—it was three o’clock.” “Well, isn’t three a quarter of twelve?” A Leavenworth paper says that if turnips were bread and cabbages were meat Kansas could take a contract to winter the paupers of the world at two cents per head, and make enough on the contract to pay the entire State debt. Peter Reid, of Bridge of Caley, Blairgowrie, has sent four stamps to the English mint to pay for coining for him two pennies, one with two heads and one with two tails. He adds: “N. B.—lt is for tossing that I want them.” An old author quaintly remarks: “Avoid arguments with ladies. In spinning yarns among silks and satins a man is sure to be worsted and twisted; and when a man is worsted and twisted he may consider himself wound up.” A Pennsylvania parent named his daughter Malaria; and now, when the unfortunate victim has grown to be a young lady’, she is avoided by the gentlemen, who fear the results of being exposed to Malarial influences. A Springfield (Mass.) milkman has a boy in his employ that is too honest for the business. When one of liis customers accused the lad of watering his milk from a brook he very earnestly 7 assured her that they got the water from a w r ell. She used to keep bits of broken china and erpekery piled up in a convenient corner of the closet, and when asked her reason for preserving such domestic lum her she shot a lurid glance at her husband and merely remarked: “He knows what them’s for.” ’Tis said the world grows wiser, day by day— That! mind is climbing to perfection’s peak; Yet, after all, ’tis but a childish play— Man’s chief dependence Beems to be his “ cheek.” A custom which the French women will not adopt, but which the Russian ladies affect, is that of communicating in white dresses. Working-women in the Empire of the Czar attend the communion service in black dresses and white veils, but for the richer classes the most magnificent white toilets arc prepared for these religious ceremonies. The monument recently erected to Sir John Franklin in Westminster abbey has been mutilated itn some mysterious way, about one and one-half inches of the chief mast of the Erebus having been broken off. This is said to be not the only act of vandalism committed in the abbey, the head of Maj. Andre having been removed no less than three times. Converting potatoes into what is termed farina, or potato flour, is an extensive business in Europe, yielding ljiillions of pounds sterling annually. 'The process is said to be as follows: The potatoes are peeled in the raw state. They are then crushed or ground into an impalpable pulp, which is well washed. The water is then evaporated, leaving a pure white residuum, which is the flour, or farina. According to Alex. S. Macrae, of Toronto, three tons of potatoes, costing $45, should yield one ton of farina, worth SIOO, leaving $55 for wear, tear and profit. There are indications of a turn for the better in the iron industries of the West and .Southwest, Furnaces, out of blast for months, are now again blowing, though there is some trouble among them in consequence of the lack of coal. The Pennsylvania works fti many cases are running on full time an J with heavy- forces, partic-

ularly those manufacturing rails, sheetiron and agricultural implements. The nail manufactories of Ohio also report activity. From other localities given to the manufacture of specialties a like improvement is reported. —Philadelphia Trade Journal. The cotton-mills and industries at Manchester, N. H., don’t seem to be suffering very much in profits. The profits of the past year were made up at the annual meeting on tire Ist of October, and we put beside them the capital stock on which they are made: Capital. Profits.

Almost crazy with sorlow, the Princess was ready to fight the men who brought the coffin, and protested tliey should not carry away the boy. In an interval of calm the younger brother, left alone with the body and the coffin, resolved to cheat the men and help his mother to keep Domenico. He hid the corpse in a closet and got in the coffin himself. He was carried to the church without discovery; but at the church, nearly suffocated, he groaned, and the coffin was opened, but he died in a little while. Now the mother is dead. All this in Paris only the other day. Regulations in regard to the fitness for occupancy of dwellings, especially new ones, demand a certain degree of dryness, and the questions as to what the amount of moisture in a wall at any particular time may be, and as to what state of dryness is required by considerations of health, have been much discussed. In a particular place a certain period for drying new buildings, dependent upon climate, material of construction and style of architecture, may come to be fixed by experience as necessary, but the direct testing of the walls as to the amount of moisture in them has been untrustworthy. In view of these facts, a number of experiments were made by Dr. Glassgen, under the direction of Prof. Pettenkofer, for the accurate determination of the amount of moisture present in the walls at any time,' and a method was finally found that gave satisfactory results. Portions of the plastering taken from different parts of the partition walls were tested. The free water and water of hydration of the lime were determined separately, the former by drying sifted specimens in a Liebig’s dry-ing-tube, in a current of air free from carbonic acid, and the latter by passing a current of carbonic acid over the specimen thus dried while heating it. The general conclusions from the tests made of a great number of buildings, under varying conditions, were that there is a constant loss of moisture proportional to the time, and that there is a great difference between the times of drying in winter and summer, and of exposed and unexposed buildings. .

“M. Quad” and the Niagara Hackmen.

A dozen different people said to me, “Look out for the hacKmen!” So when I reached Niagara I looked out for them. Looking out of the car window-1 saw them. There were twenty-seven of them in a soldierly line, every man’s mouth open, eyes rolling and right arm waving around. As I stepped on the platform twentysix of the twenty-seven came at me, while the other one attended to the remainder of the passengers. They danced around me, yelled at me, clawed at me, and when I got out of the crowd and off the steps I felt as if I had been throw-n over a fenqe. It w-as only- two blocks to the Clifton House, and while I was certain in my own mind that I could somehow manage to drag my body that distance after resting all night those hackmen differed w ith me. Theyw-alked beside me, they followed after me, they blocked the path, and each one vehemently assured me that I ought to ride. Even when within thirty steps of the hotel one of the drivers held his carriage door open and shouted to me:

“Getright in! Take you to the hotel for tw-o dollars —only two dollars!” I didn’t stop long in Canada. I couldn’t get dinner at the hotel because I wanted to cross fifteen minutes before the regular dinner hour. I couldn’t get a room because I couldn’t get dinner. I couldn’t get a cup of coffee because I couldn’t get a room. The hotel bootblack w-ouldn’t black my boots because 1 couldn’t get a cup of coffee; and it was a great relief to me to find that the man at the end of the foot-bridge was willing to take toll from me. I half suspected that he would refuse to let me cross because I couldn’t get my boots blacked. While crossing the bridge I should have been struck by the mightiness of the cataract if I had not been struck by the forewheel of an omnibus. When the hide has been rubbed off a man’s leg fofa space of two square inches I defy him to feel for tlienext ten minutes as if he cared twocents whether N iagara Falls poured over a cliff or crawled through a mill-race. The hackmen made my accident the pretext for rushing at me again, and they offered to convey me to the International Hotel, a distance of fifty rods, for “Five dollars.” “Four dollars.” “ Three dollars.” “ Two dollars.” “ One dollar.” “Gentlemen,” I replied, as soon as I could get in a word, “lam going to walk that fifty rods or fall dead in the road. If I die divide my money evenly between you and throw my body over the bridg^!” They drove slowly and kept a constant watch on me, and when they realized that I was about to accomplish the herculean feat they set up a mad yelling, and drove around the square so as to head me off at the hotel door. They didn’t get hold of me again for an hour, as I had the only key to my room, but when I appeared on the veranda a hackinan approached and inquired: “ Have a hack?”' “No, sir.” “ Have a carriage?” “ No, sir.” “ Have a vehicle?” “ No, sir.” “ Have a laundy ?” “No, sir.” “ Have a barouche ?” “No, sir.” I , “ Have an omnibus?” “No, sir.” “Have a gig?” “No, sir.” ..“Have a wagon?” * - No, sir.” * >« “ Have a sulky?” H 1 "No, sir.” “Have a wheelbarrow?” r \ “No,' sir.” » t

“ Have a hand-sled ?” “No, sir.” He looked at me and sighed and fell back for the next man to advance. — N.. Y Graphic.

All Rub Down.”

This is an expression that we hear from doctors when they are in doubt about the nature of the disease of .their patients. The country seems to be tilled with such eases, and they are trying first one remedy and then another, hoping in vain to find relief. "They generally have the following symptoms: A general depression of spirits, with evil forebodings, a whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly, foul breath, with a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning, pain in the sides and back, urine scanty and high colored, frequently voided with difficulty, frequent headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit of the stomach, food affording no nourishment. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep affords but little rest. After a time a dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after a time with expectoration, hands and feet cold and clammy at times, a general wasting of the body. In such cases we need a remedy that will act upon the liver,ikidneys, stomach and blood at the same time, and when we üße such a remedy it affords relief. The best article for this purpose is the Shaker Extract of Roots, sold by A. J. White, 319 Pearl street, N. Y. Agents wanted. Schenck’b Pulmonic Syrup, for the Cure of Consumption, Coughs and Colds. The great virtue of this medicine is that it ripens the matter and throws it out of the system, purifies the blood, and thus effects a cure. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, for the Cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, etc. The Tonic produces a healthy action of the stomach, creating an appetite, forming chyle, and curing the most obstinate cases of indigestion. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the Cure of Liver Complaint, etc. These pills are alterative and produce a healthy action on the liver without the least danger, as they are free from calomel, and yet more efficacious in restoring a healthy action of the liver. These remedies are a certain cure for Consump* tion, as the Pulmonic Syrup ripens the matter and pnrifies the blood. The Mnndrake Pills act noon the liver, create a healthy bile, and remove all diseases of the liver, often a cause of Consumption. The Sea Weed Tonic gives tone and strength to the stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the organs to form good blood; and thus creates a healthy circulation of healthy blood. The combined actiou of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in time, and the use of the medicines persevered in. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed.

NEW and BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT. The Piano-Harp Cabinet Organ An exquisite combination, adding to the capacity of the organ much of that of the piano-forte and liarp. With a double-reed organ, complete and perfect In every respect, is combined a new Instrument,the PIANOHARP, the tones of which are produced by. steel tongues or bars, rigidly set in steel plates affixed to a sounding-box, and struck by hammers, as in the pianoforte. The tones are of a pure, silvery, bell-llke quality, very beautiful In combination or alternation with the organ tones. The organ may be used alone, and Is In every respect as complete and perfect an organ as without the PIANO-HARP, or may be taed with the PIANO-HARP; the latter may be used separately or In combination with any or all the Stops of the organ, to which it adds greatly In vivacity, lire and variety; adapting It to a much wider range of music. Upon Its lnrentloA and Introduction, about a year since, this newinstrument wss received with so much favor that the demand greatly exceeded the manufact. urers’ utmost ability to Bupply; so that they have had no occasion to advertise It extensively. Having now perfected facilities fors-large supply, they offer it to the public with confidence. Circulars, with drawings and full descriptions, free.
