Tbe discussions In tba county had been going on with more or loss blttur«e*s and animosity, mainly growing out of the fact that the Democrats carried ft largo force of men from tbc city to over? meeting, who irritated the Kepubilcaiw by their violent denunciation of their leaders aad their m meeting at the brick church near Cslnbov waa called by tbe Repeblicsns, and wa* largely attended by wen who were <>rrsent at tbe Brat meeting at which the Ounocrate bad eu forced their deal aad to apqak, but had pot attended the-Joint discussions, and waby of them, being auspicious of the Democrats, carried such gun aa each map bail at h a home, eonaDting of old muskets, ♦bo-guns and Towling-pieces, but no militia mm vfeM4hore with State arms and iftnawlUonjPrfUir' Democrats claim; and the licet evidftftti- of that fact ia, that all tha dead met* shot with buck-shot, apd •not with rifle halls.

The colored men returned with their guns very soon, and attacked the •party at the old house, and then commenced a genera! fire on the Democrats, who were

generally armed with pistols, bubhad to retire rapidly toward the boat under.a heaVy tire. The colored men became furious when Kiev saw that some of their arms had been seized and one of thilr own men killed. Sheriff Bowen, whom they recognized as their per onal and political friend, rushed among them and tried to stop the firing, but they did not cease until all the whl'e men wore driven away from the church. Six white, men were killed or have died, and one colored man. Several white men are wounded, (Hit none seriously. It is not yet Known how many are hurt.

Social Amusements in Old-Time France.

It U amusing to note the dericeu by which theftft social and pleasure Peking coteries aoagbt to amuse thomaelvoa. and to pans the time which hung 4 heavily on their hands. At one period It beernnp fashionable for men to busy themselves with embroidery and othef light work which had hitherto been the eMftnMvtr province of the ladies. Entering the •ohm. you would observe gturfy-dressed cavillers seated at the embroidery frame* or stitching away at a piece of tapestry; even grave statesmen ami ponderous philosophers might have been sees bustty embroidering birds, flowers and coat* Tfei* there raws abput u faftftf iAflorum-arpltnfi the silken and mttafflt*Uireads of fringe* and tissues. This waa colled “purfling.” The ladies of quality were wont in rats to taake a' pretense of doing something useful and economical. ! At first they ana their male gallants employed themselves in picking out iho gold anti «ilvor threads from old garments, wont* trimmings, epaulets, ana so on: "On* ctftle of liUlifce (fibing formed,” says Tafnc, “a big unraveling-bag in green taffeta is placed off the table, which supply the rather cqptU material* for this curious parame;' On Ame’occasion the Duke <R-&fuzurftoppll*«Ms guffwitli ! a harp to be unstrung and unraveled? The ladies, after thus separating the threads, vied with each other in selling them, and thus made a merit of earning an income. If they.(.destroyed a garment, worth a thousand francs, and then sold the threads taken from U for a hundred, they regarded it as a good operation. Not oontept with unraveling bid garments, they would capriciously destroy new ones iff the rage for eiceHing in thfg peculiar accomplishment. One dtiy a lady; as she swept orit of the drawingroom, tx>6k it into her head that the com fringe which dangled from her rdbfe would be capital for unraveling; and without hesitation took her scissors and cut it off. “Tenwomen suddenly Aflrround a man wearing fringes, pull off his coat., and put his fringes and laces into their bags, jusf as if a bold flock of tomtits, Uppe*rng hod rh»¥«f»ig in *hOi air, should sudcle of women stanug fn danger of being stripped olive. ” f M ■ jja ! fauesswqfk ff^Which ~omedres, represents a young Marquis enWlu+e CVto fait ’thdfisds are mfflmincf fehth! the here ! takes a litfla gold nnle outiof the pocket of hls-rkhly-uecorated waistcoat, jmd selects a ffalnty gold needle, “ tie goes to the frame at which Cidiritae 1* working, and finishes the flower which she had begnb. from her he moves tothe sofa, and, seiringMone 6nd of the flouffee, assists Is menc, to whom he pays special attention, jto complete hw tasKt” At thisAmeirWas die custom of the ladies^n^^^^tocafboxes and rouge-Botsf' Gentlemen also carried defUy-embroiaered little bags into company, arsenal of cutlery and Fancy articles, such as boxes wssaissL was to cut ent drawings books ana pamphlets, wild to paste -feeilron lamp-shades, boxes and vases.

Spontaneous Combustion of Charcoal.

-Thelate Mr. Braidvvood,superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, England, remarks that lampblack and charcoal, when the smallest quanflfyof oil gains access to them, are morfe'ihflammable than sawdust anfi the vegetable and animal textiles, and should pot be 'Admitted among ships’ The kinds of wood generally used for the manufacture of charcoal for gunpowder are the black dogwood, the willow and the aider. 1 Thesd varieties are-all well adapted for the purpose, though for the best brands of sporting powder the dogwoOd is sftki to be ’preferable. Tbe wool 4s converted into charcoal by heating it in iron cylinders. After the charcoal is removed from these vessels, it is placed in iron coolers provided with tightly fitting Kds, and-allowed to stand for some hoars until quite booh It is then sent to tbe mill to be ground, and is afterwards mixed with the other ingredients for gunpowder. With reference now to this process, Prof. F. Hargreaves vouches that there are urauy instances recorded where the charcoal has taken fire the second day after grinding. With tlie process of this occur, rence we are by this time quite familiar. The same observer, it appears, is algo aware of tfie fact that the pulverization of the charcoal is not absolutely indispensable for such ignition to ensue, for he adds, at the conclusion of his remarks: “The absorption (namely, of oxygen) with sticks of charcoal is nofso quick sis with ground charcoal, aqd .hence the spontaneous cbmbustion rtf stick charcoal does not ocour so often.” Mr. Hatfield, in a paper containing “ Observations bn the Circumstances producing Ignition in Charcoal at Atmospheric Tempera--tores,” in- ti>« PhilotopJuarl Magazine , sm%“s the following; “If fwtnty o*; thirty hfladfed of cimrcoal, itea of ifihfm#divhiiofi, -be put together in a heap, and left undisturbed, spontane. bits cbflibtistirtp' generally occurs.” Hfl records, in veHticatiofi' of this statement, Mq that covered about ten Jcet i square and four feet deep.' In tliree days the temper, ature kid int reasedfo ninety degrees Fab., altlaiigli & was al lirsc oifiy fifty-seven degrees, that of the surrounding air. Oft to 100 degrees; and on the seventh combustion had commenced in several places ” Dr. C. T. Jackson, in a communication of what hfts just preceded: “Three times,” lie remarks, *‘ I have set fire to

I repeatedtheexperiinent again intentionally, watching it carefully, aari.<vfth the same result. " exnianation of the cases first quoted is not difficult to find. The charcoal possesses.

wonderful porosity and great power for occluding gaffes. This absortlve quality ia supplemented by a specie* of selective power: in virtue of which, it absorbs oxygen with much more avidity and in much greater quantity than nitrogen. The enormous condensation which gas suffers by absorption into the pores of the charcoal is attended with the liberation of a quantity of sensible heat that is the equivalent of the work the atoms have accomplished; while simultaneously, the eminent non-conducting property of tbe charcoal hastens the period of active combustion by preventing the dissipation of the heat thus evolved, and concentrating it upon the porous mass.— lie view. p- .: ; • ' ■ •• •

The Bridal-Path Descent from Mount Washington.

Twkntt-fivb yeare ago the Crawford path was the favorite means for ascending the mountain; but; since the construction of the Glen carriage-road, in 1&61, *nd later, 1869, the completion of the railway up the mountain, .it has been limited to the few adventurous parties who, without a guide, have dared to traverse the trail on foot- It is quite dangerous, however, on account of the heavy fogs, or clouds, which prevail, and make it very difficult to keep the trail. In 1874, a young man from Pennsylvania started up the path alone, And was never seen again. Iff August of this year, however, the proprietors of the Crawford House repaired the way, making it passable for horses, as formerly. Since then several parties have successfully made the ascent, and a few have Also descended the same way. 3fost persons are quite satisfied with the trials of the ascent, and are content td come down mote luxuriously, by rail. But pur party are decided to take the same path in return; only two, young "students from Boston, choosing to walk, leaving their horses in care of the guide. My offer to take one of the animals off his hands is willingly accented, and we are all provided for a ride down the famous path. The start is made about two o’clock, hut not till the base of the upper cone of, MR Washington is reached do we deeip advisable to mount—so as to spare the - horses, and ourselves; -the roughness pf-the first-thousand feet down. Now for one,of th,e grandest rides on the Americas Cbntinent. Pof over four miles the descent is a little over feet, and, most of the way, right along a 'mountainridge over 4,000 feet above the sea-level. Ordinarily these same four miles that we are about to travel are through dense or varying clouds, and the glorious view is 4 completely lost; and fortunate is the toiler if he do not become lost too! But to-day is warm-and pleasant; the sun shines fiercely upon us; and our guide tells us that, out Of fifty times climbing the mountain, he never saw a day so warm at this height. Our path now passes over what is called the Flat. The riding is easy, and we can enjoy the view without watching our track. West of us is stretched out the Amonoosuc Valley, while near us, on the same side, arp the little Lakes of tbe Clpuds— two mountain lochs with Clear, crystal watfera, 3.000 feet above the sea—sources of the Amouoosuc, which falls 2,000 feet in the first three miles of its source. Eastward! thff lakte region -of Maine end New Hampshire houjnds, the horizon; while, almost at our horse's feet, opens the great chasm of Oakes’ Gulf, 3,000 feet deep, and whose side near us is an almost perpendicular precipice. Carefully and slowly we descetfd, our path leading over rough and rocky steps, where our horses carefully pick their way. Past the frowning crags of Monroe’s summit, seeming almost ready to fall on us, on one side; while on the other side is the edge of Oakes’ Gulf. “Careful! Careful, npw!” is our guide’s encouraging cry to the horses, and we let them pick their way down ragged steps and sliding ledges, taking their own time and manner. A single misstep and fall now would send us rolling into the gulf at our feel, and we should never live to tell the tale. But our horses are sure-footed, and carry us safely by, out on to the summit of Mount Franklm. Think of a horseback ride on the back of a mountain 4,900 feet high! That’s what we are doing for half a mile, while our view is indescribably grand. Soon as we reach the brow of the mountain we make an abrupt descent to the side of Mt. Pleasant, only 150 feet lower than Franklin. Along the east side of this mountain we continue our ride, which is made mostly in silence—there being too much anxiety concerning the safety of this rocky step, or the siipperyness of that ledge. Sometimes we find wooden cleats bolted into the solid rock, so as to furnish a foothold for the horses. Again we all think “ discretion the Letter part,” etc., and dismount, letting our horses get down themselves, while the guide, with whatever help lie needs, assists the ladies over the dangerous places. For there is a large spicing of danger in the whole ride, ana, uhdei- a less Efficient guide, we should run the risk of roiling down the mountain-sides, in by no means agreeable style!

Reaching the summit of Mt. Clinton, 4,320 feet high, we come to the most disagreeable part of our trip. W<e enter a trail, among stunted evergreens at first, which, gradually growing ~ higher as we go lower, shut out all view, and force us to give our entire attention to onr.palh. Now it is either deep mud or decaying corduroys, and we are forced to make frequent halts to let our horses plunge through deep miry places, or wait while a ■ ffew refractory corduroys are put in place, and the hurses make their own way. Our two ladies, however, nobly keep the saddle amid hll the dangers, ami ride over all {daces without flinching. Our last mile is made through the gloaming of the forest—the snn going down behind the hills jpst $s we enter it. Down ws go deeper into the darkness, hut by a smoother and smoother path, till the -barking of •dog* announces our approach, and we ride up to the steps of the Crawford House pt as the stars are shbwing dienteeives U the: twiyught-sky, J safe and topnd.— , White Mountain Jfotch (I V., Aft.)

MoneVl is scarce and harcl jto. aa boya wear; out tlieir boots and shoes veiy fast, It is quite an item in the expet&e df the ■fanri- ) lj. -In msny.jnstadceff yoitgre qhUgffff Jp carry your boots five or six miles to a shofemakeir, add ituften ffe! cannot do them at queeu so JPP fire obUged to go p"ain.

I will give you a list of about what you will need.: ,A shoe-; hammer, a half doxen Awls of Various sizes, with an awl-handie, a few pegs of different sizes and lengths, a pap- of Na.,3 shoe pincers, a small bottle of edge blacking, a cake of heel ball, q pair of laffts tol fit your boots, and two sbpe-knives, quo for trimming and one with a loDger blade) called a “skiver!” for beveling the soles J No doubt you will fine}, an old pair ofl shoe lasts at almost any shoe-shop that will fit £ottr boots, Whiiuh you can Rurj chase cheap. It is a better way tolmy ola ones as your feet are growing. You Will need A strap to lioid .the-, boet ofi'ffoufl knee, a hook to pull the last out, and a peg-cutter. The strap Won will find at the barn, and/perhaps tbe lasUwo Bangs,ypq will find about the house. Now, when yon grind your trimming knife; the blade of which should toot be over three inches long, do not grind it dpwn to the handle; but only one and a halt inftlies' from the point.
