BREVITIES.

A bEGULAR beat—The heart-beat; still, the heart is never a “ dead-beat ” It is not so much trouble for a man to get rich as it is to tell when he’s got rich. A stock man at Austin, Tex., is raising camels, and has sold a lot of young onesfor 1450 each. , One man in Colorado has a ranch 150 miles long and 26,000 head of cattle which cost only $7 apiece. After marriage a woman gets broader views and broader pronunciation. First it’s “coddle,” “then it’s “caudle.” If the names of the States were all of the same length an important source of political pleasure would be wanting. It would be impossible to construct “ pyramids." —Detroit Free Preen. The explosion of a kerosene lamp set fire to the house of T. Mack, in Toledo, Ohio. His little daughter in bed had her clothing set on fire, and before the flames could be extinguished was fatally burned. Sorghum mills and evaporators are in full blast all over the West, turning out hundreds and thousands of gallons of molasses. The crop of cane grown this year is larger than any* crop ever grown be--fore. The manufacture of plate glass in Missouri has been attended with such success since its commencement that that industry, though only some three years old, is now one of important of the State. * The Czar of Russia has just given a young Jew named Frelimann a commission in the Russian army. Frelimann is the first Jew who has ever attained the position of officer in the Russian military service. Some planters in the San Joaquin Valley, Cal., have been experimenting in cotton culture, and have raised from onequavter of a bale to four bales per acre, 500 pounds to the bale, on land that was not irrigated. • “ It’s a bunrng shame that he didn’t cut any kindling,” she muttered to herself .as she took up the kerosene can to start the fire, and “A burning shame” was what they chiseled on the tombstone which stood Over her cinders. It was a diplomatic huiband who protested to his wife: “ My dear, if it doesn’t make any difference to you, don’t say ‘ Brute!’ and ‘ Dolt!’ Use terms milder, if not less incisive. If I must have curtain lectures let them at least be damask curtain ones.” As far as we can learn from our exchanges, the manufacturers west of the Alleghenies are experiencing more of a revival of business than those further east. There are, however, many signs of a general movement. —Philadelphia Trade Journal. It is stated by the Bird Fanciers' Journal that a carrier bird which flies 150 miles an hour is under training for the purpose of forming a mail line between America and Europe, the whole distance to he traversed between sunrise in one hemisphere and sunset in the other. The Glasgow Times would appear to have figured out the thing pretty accurately when it remarks: V The man who is curious to see how the world cgujd get along without him can find out by sticking a cambric needle into a mill-pond, and then withdrawing it and looking at the hole.” The Waco Examiner of a recent date speaks in terms of severest criticism of the murders which have become so frequent throughout the State, and closes with a strong appeal to its readers and contemporaries to “ make Texas too hot to hold a man who wantonly takes the life of afellow-man.” The latest instructions published on the subject of “table etiquette” contain an admonition to “ see tjiat those about you are helped before you commence eating yourself.” The theory is probably that after you commence “ eating yourself ’ you will be unable to see that others are helped. —Detroit Tribune. From a single tree, planted in a tub and kept in his hot-house, C. S. Holbrook, of Holbrook, Mass., sold, in eighteen years, no less than $2,300 worth of peaches—some of them at $36 per dozen, many at from $24 to S2B per dozen, and all at an average of $lB pef dozen. They were sold mostly in the months of February and March. Mr. Delano, the editor of the London Times , began his editorial career thirtysix years ago. He served for the first two years as assistant editor, after that as ed-itor-in-chief. He was only twenty/two years of age when he first obtained employment on the Times. His health has now broken down for the third time, and •>he is taking a vacation. “ Weak, unconscious criminality,” is what the New York Prison Inspector specifies as the cause of Frank Walworth’s parricidal act. This is quite as good as emotional insanity, provided the “weak, unconscious criminals” are so restrained of their liberty that the rest of the community shall not suffer from their weakness or unconsciousness. —Detroit Free Press. England washes most of the manure made by her people into the ocean, and then hunts over the globe from Egypt to Peru for more to waste. The United States does no better. But the natives of Japan and China maintain the fertility of their soil by saving what those who pretend to be civilized throw away. They have no worn-out, abandoned fields.— Christian Union. Here is a warning for men too mean to advertise: One of this description wanted to sell some land, and so he put a written notice in one of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring for a small farm was referred to the written notice, when he replied: “ I can’t buy land at a fair price of any man who does his advertising in this way. He’d steal the fence, the pump-handle, and the barn-doors before he’d give up possession.” V > A youth was rushing around the corner, saying: “ All I want in this world is to lay my hands on him!” He presently came upon a boy weighing about ten pounds more than himself, and rushing at him he exclaimed: “ Did you lick my brother Ben?” “Yes, I did,” said the boy, dropping his bundle and spitting on his hands. “ Well,” continued the other lad, backing slowly away, “he needs a lickin’once a week to teach him to be civil !”- A family living on Cass avenue found a good thickness of cream on some milk that had been standing over night- and when the milkman made his usual call the pleased housewife exhibited the cream and skid: “I neverexpected to see this.” The man looked at the cream, winked wisely and solemnly, scratched his head and replied: “ Well, I don’t know what ails, it, but you can throw it out and I’ll give you a fresh pint in its place!"—Detroit Free Press. The other day a Vicksburg negro was drawing a big dog around the street by a strap, and a citizen inquired: “Is that

your dog?” '“Yes, sah.” “Do you want to sell him?” “Yes, sah, I want to sell my sheer ob him.” “ Your share ? How’s that?” “Why, dis dog am divided into eighteen sheers. De sheer-holders am a little down in the mouf on ’count ob de hard times, an’ Ize depumtized to sell the kaynine for the sum ob two dollars.”— Vicksburg Herald. Phil. Sheridan imbibed, in his trip to the West, some far Western ideas, which begin to show themselves. They told him on the Western slope that there was no team so good as a span of mules, and since his return to Chicago he has purchased and drives in one slashing team four big - black mules. His wife went with himone day, and was so mortified at one ol them yee-liawing on the street that she has ever since refused to ride, —Detroit Free Press.

Nine men have handed in their names as members of a company for the thorough exploration of the Black River caves, at Watertown, N. Y. It is thought to be desirable that there should be about twice this number, or more. One of the caves was explored at one time to a distance of nearly two miles, and no limit This cave extends under the river, and the noise of the faljs above can be heard in it, and in places it is beautiful with' stalactites. Ex-Marshal Bazaine is charged' with having hesitated at nothing that would bring him money when in command of the French army of invasion in Mexico iu 1864-5. He is alleged to have kept in the name of others two storey in the City of -Mexico—one a grocer’s and the other a dry-goods shop—in which French stuffs were sold at high prices and at immense profits, as he found means to avoid paying freight or import duties. In this way he is said to have amassed a large fortune. Dr. Winter states, in his essay on “ Brain Enigmas,” that a little girl of six years fell and received a severe concussion of the brain, while engaged in a game of toss-and-catch with a young companion. For ten hours she remained insensible. At the end of that period she opened her eyes, and, instantly springing to the head of the bed, began throwing about the small articles at hand, exclaiming: “ Catch these!” From that moment she was perfectly sane. To Bake Beans.—Soak one quart of beans over night in warm water; set them on the stove in the morning and let them come to a boil; drain the water all off and fill up again with hot water 1 *; set them on The stove again and let them cofilUslowly until they commence to be soft; throWtke water all off, put the beans in a cl grp pan or “ Yankee bean-pot” with a small piece of salt fat pork; fill up with hot waiter, three tablespoonfuls of molasses, and a piece of soda the size of a bean; bake four or five hours and keep them filled with water. Ljubibratich is said, by a Herzegovinian correspondent to seem to be a man singularly fitted by nature to fill the-posi-tion of liberator, and excites the same attachment in his followers as Garibaldi, whom he is said to resemble in manner. He is handsome, pensive, with a winning smile and manner of address; and has dark brown eyes, whose ordinary expression is dreamy and womanlike, but with a glint and flash quite startling when excited, and in the set, strong mouth there is indomitable resolution. The Williams & Guion Steamship Company undertook to make-the quickest time on record in crossing the Atlantic with, the Dakota. It left Liverpool Sept. 30, in the face of. a heavy wind, and was run at its highest rate of speed. When about 300 miles out of Queenstown the iron plates in front of the anchor-deck were beaten in, the forward hold soon filled and a panic seized both crew and passengers, who. united in begging the Captain to put ■He refused, the crew mutinied, when he was forced to return to Queenstown. The New Style of ScnooL, by Prof. AV. P. Jones, Evanston, 111., where common-school, business and early college studies are taught in Hie individual method instead of in classes, receives the approval of business men and the best teachers. Nextjerm opens Dec. 6. Tiie rudeness of Dr. Parr to ladies was sometimes extreme. To a lady who had ventured to oppose him with more warmth of temper than cogency of reasoning, and who afterward apologized for herself by saying that it was the privilege of women to talk nonsense, “ No, madam,” he replied, “it is not their privilege, but their infirmity; ducks would walk if they could; but nature suffers them only to waddle!”

Six Good Reasons Why Every Manufacturer, Mechanic, Inventor and Farmer Should Have the “scientific American.”

I. It is a publication devoted especially to their several interests. Every munber contains sixteen pages of useful matter pertaining to mechanism, new discoveries and inventions, and themes interesting and useful to all persons engaged or interested iu farming or mechanical or manufacturing pursuits. 11. It is n cheap publication—furnished so low, in fact, that no one can plead inability to spare from his earnings or business the small sum charged for a year’s subscription. 111. It is printed on a good quality of paper in a form for binding, every number being embellished with original engravings of new machinery, new scientific and chemical discoveries, and all the important inventions pertaining to agricultural implements. IV. Xo other paper published in this country contains a weeklyJUt of patents issued in the .United Staty/ Patent Office; lienee the Scientific American is indispensable to every mechanic, manufacturer or inventor who is desirous of keeping advisc-d as to what iuf\v machines or novelties are being patented. V. in subscribing to the Scientific foreign as well as home intelligence on all subjects pertainlngto the industrial pursuits of tlie world. VI. Subscribers who preserve their numbers have, at the end of each,,, year*, two handsome volumes of 416 pages each, containing several hundred engravings, worth as a work of reference many times tlie price of subscription. A Remember it is not issued only onctoa month, but that it comes to the. subscriber every week free of postage for one year at the small cost of 83.20. Tlie publishers have also the largest Patent Soliciting establishment in the world, and during the past thirty years have prosecuted more than 60,000 applications for patents in this country and Europe, Address Minn & Co., New York, for circulars and further information.

Schenek’s Mandrake Pills

will be found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of all billons attacks, prompt to start the secretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have, invented a remedy lor these stnbbom complaints, which develop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by munkind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certain vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputable by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs”nnd roots of the fields. These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious derangements without salivation or any of the iniurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these pills, as will be seen by the altered color, of the stools and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for use accompany each box of pills. ... .. - ■■■;■ --- Prepared only by J. H.

Mr. Editor: In every city, town and hamlet in the land may be found some feeble person unable to perform hard labor; some man or woman that delights in visiting the sick and ministering to their wants, some local preacher not fully occupied, or some unoccupied person who would like to add a little to their present income—and I want some such person in every place where I have no agent to sell a Medicinal Extract made by the Shakers, which lias proved of such signal service in the cure of those longstanding diseases that prevail in all parts of our country, and which have heretofore resisted all kinds of medical treatment. .Your columns for October contained a very flattering notice of the Shaker Extract of Roots, under tlie head of “ The Strange Disease," to which I would like to call the attention of your readers.

An Accidental Cure. —When death was hourly expected from consumption, all remedies having failed, and Dr. H. James was experimenting, he accidentally made a preparation of Indian hemp, which cured bis only child, and now gives this recipe free on receipt of two stamps to pay expenses. Hemp also cures night sweats, nausea at the stomach, and will break a fresh cold in 24hours. AcdressCraddoclc & Co., 1032 Race St., Phila., Pa., naming this paper.

No other compound possesses the peculiar properties which so exactly suit the various conditions of the human hair. ’ Gentian was our grandmothes’ hobby for a tonic, and no bitter would be considered complete without it; hence it enters Into nearly all. But experience has proved that it is injurious to the stomach if frequently used. A far better tonic is found in Guarana Bitters.

She can’t read a word of English, but she takes the paper because she' likes to see me sling it around so lively. I never missed but once, and that was one toggy day last winter, whelt I suppose I didn’t make proper calculation for the condition of the atmosphere.” “Pshaw! that ain’t nowhere,” chimed in another, “ I’ve been serving a morning newspaper all along to a man who’s never left his bed for seven years. Got the rlieumatiz. There’s a hole busted in one of the windows about two inches wide, and it’s two stories high. I shoot it up through that slit at twenty minutes past five every mornin’, and It strikes him in the face and wakes him up. On these dark mornin’s, when there’s a high wind, it takes some mighty lively calculation to hit the place just right. One mornin’ I dropped it on the foot of the bed and didn’t wake him, so he stopped the paper next day.” If you would lessen the work of ironing, fold your clothes tlie night before and lay them upon a table piled on one another, qovered with tlie ironing-blanket, and they will be much smoother; sprinkle thenP in the morning, roll them up tight until you are ready to iron them, and the work will be a pastime.
