M. 8. SMITH & CO. Claim that they CAN and WILL ee lMhesame Quality of goinls C h ^ p e r than any other Jewelry House In the State, for the foi-lowing reasons:

They buy exclasively for Cash, which enables them to take advan-tage oi the markets,

They make a personal selection of Foreign Goods in the markets where they are produced. They are the only Jewelry House in the State that imports their own purchases direct through the Detroit Custom House, payft^ no commissions to New York

impoifcrs. Their annual sales are Five Tims

as great as those of any other house in their lino in the State, making their expenses a smaller pcrcen^ge

on the amount sold. They buy directly of the manufacturers, thus saving to their cuBtonr^B the jobber's prcfiti Their Foreign Watches, Frenck^ Clocks, Music Boxes and Operaf GlasBcs are made to order expressly for" their.Xtrade, and are farsnperioi: to similar goods offered to the general trade.

IT IS useless to speak of the evils re-

sulting from exaggerated reports. Every

business man knows that great mistakes

are often made unnecessarily, and every

business man must see tho wisdom of do-

his neighbor is placed in a false position

by exaggerated reports. This has an ap-

plication.

IT WAS our good fortune to listen to

Mrs. Livermore's Iccture on the "Battle

A PASSENGER car on the Sarnia branch

of the Great Western Railway took fire

from a lamp on Saturday evening while

tho train was going down grade at a

high rate of speed. The accident oc-

curred a short distance from Sarnia, and

though tho train was stopped as soon as

possible, eight persons were killed and

fifteen injured inorp or less seriously.

THE railroad meeting at Train 's Hall

on tho evening of the 25th ult. was

largely attended by our best citizens and

it was evident from the general enthu-

siasm manifest, tha t the hall was not

filled by disinterested spectators, but by

men who desire and insist tha t the work

shall be pushed forward as speedily as possible.

The meeting was organized by calling

Dr. Elsworth to the chair. President

Cobb and Judge Wells of Kalamazoo

were present, and told what had been

done, and what there is yet to do, Judge

Wells desired to hear from the citizens

of Lowell, and the chair called them out.

Dr. E. W . Dodge of Ilubbardston, a rail-

road veteran, who has been employed as

solicitor on this route; Rev. D. L. Eaton,

Messrs. G. R. Sayles, J . H. Wood, H. M.

Clark, C R Hine, W W Hatch, W J Atkins

and E. J . Booth, responded to the call and

the sentiments uttered by them un-

mistakably showed that the interests of

tho project could not be advanced too

rapidly to suit them. Owing to our

absence from town, i t was impossible

for us to be present; a fact which we

deeply regret for many reasons. We

are informed however tha t Mr. Eaton

made some very telling remarks, which

deserve special mention. A resolution,

offered by Mr. Eaton, tha t the sense of

the meeting bo declared in favor of com-

mencing work on the line as soon as

possible and "pushing ahead" as fast as possible, was adopted.

PLAT RIVER PIONEERS.

The pioneers are passing away, and

with them the knowledge of the incon-spicuous pioneer history. TIIOHC who

open the savage wilds to civilization aro

worthy of an affectionate and honorable remembrance.

Under the auspices of the Old Settlers'

Association, I have undertaken to rescue

from oblivion, tho early history of the

Grand River Valley. The pioneers of

Lowell are some of them with you on tho verge of life, while the most of them

have passed the dark valley. Let u*

honor the gray hairs of tho venerablo

survivors, and pay tr ibute of grateful re-

membrance to those whose life work is

ended. They sowed the seed; we reap

the fruit . They cut down the forest a n d

in tho midst of toil and privation pre-

pared the way for civilization, culture, refinement, wealth and splendor.

This region was open to squatter set-

tlement in 1836. The Indian title had

been extinguished but the land had not

been surveyed. In 1837 the squatter or

preemptor settlers, as near as I can ascer-

tain, were Lucas, Rodney, and Lewis

Robinson (brothers), who came tha t

spring. They found here, Luther Lin-

coln, Daniel Marsac, Charles Newton,

John and James Thompson, Cyrus Ben-

nett, George Bisbee, JohnM. , Phillip W .

and James Fox, Cr. Silas Fallass, John

W. Fallass, Caleb Page. Eliab Walker,

Christopher Misner, Philander Tracy,

T. P. Daniels, George Brown, Solomon

Lowell, and i t looks now as if business

was about to commence. Dr. Dodge

will be sent out immediately to secure

stock and right-of-way, and a five per

cent assessment has been ordered on all

subscriptions not hitherto assessed.

Receipts may be had of W. W . Hatch

Esq. They are waiting for you now.

And now let every man take hold and

PUSH. You cannot afford to hold back;

your good judgment tells you so, and

argument, at this stngo of tho proceedings

in unnecssary.

Mr. Hooker built the first grist mill in

'38or '9. Mr. Fallass built the first saw

mill on Fla t river at Fallassburgh; a

grist mill soon after. Another was buil t

by James Burroughs below Fallassburgh.

The first school was in '38, in a log

house built by the Robinsons. The first

teacher was Miss Caroline Beard. She

was married in the school house to Caleb

Page; it was a grand occasion in the

settlement. The next teacher was Miss

Maria Winslow (now wife of Herman

Leonard of Grand Rapids). The school

was kept in that house until the organ-

ization of the school district.

Spiritually, the interests of the settle-

ment were attended to by a zealous young

Methodist preacher by the name of

Frieze, whose circuit and care for souls

was from Greenville to Cook's Corners.

WE have always felt a sort of hanker-

ing for the balmy South ever since we

first studied geography. Our early im-

pressions were so favorable that wo used

to sit on a bench in the old school house

for hours at a time and bend our back

and energies in search of knowledge, such

as the "fert i l i ;y of the soil, mildness and

salubrity of the climate, natural pro-

ducts" etc. Indeed our interest in these

things was so great that it was not an

unfrequent occurrence for us to remain

an hour with the teacher, af ter school

SOMETIME ago Dr. Chas. T. Price, 07

William street N. Y., sent us two adver-

tisements for insertion in the JOURNAL,

offering to pay us quarterly in advance,

upon receipt of first paper containing

said advertisements. We seldom pay

any attention to such propositions com-

ing from strangers, but in this case we

directed the ads. inserted in the JOURNAL

and forwarded a copy to Dr. C. T. Price

according to his request. We also sent

him a statement, and called his particu-

lar attention to the fact that in order to

have tho ads. remain in our paper i t

would bo necessary for him to remit a t

once. In reply, Dr. Chas. T. Price

wrote UB a very pleasant epistk and

assured us wo would find h i t t prompt

pay. Wo then sent a postal card to Dr.

Chas. T. Price informing liim that his

ads. would be continued providing he

saw fit to remit at onco. In reply to this

Dr. Price wrote an exceedingly entertain-

taining letter, and did not disappoint UB

by enclosing a remittance. We ventured

another cent and sent Dr. Price another

postal card stating tha t i t would be nec-essary to close the friendly correspond-

ence, and suggaated tha t a local notice in

tho JOURNAL would please him. To this

came no regponso from Dr. Chas. T .

Price, who "Cures Pita Free ." Tho ads.

were thrown out of tho JOUNNAL.

what boy, we ask, can sit down in a

country school house in January, with

these sunny pictures of Florida, without

wishing his father would sell out and

move down there, where (it seems to him) he could sit on the river bank all

winter long and let his fcet play in the

placid stream f Alas! what shall become of those ge-

ography makers? They left the alliga-

tors out of their pictures, when they

ought to have put them three deep along

those sunny banks, and made the river

this village shows us a letter just received

from his sou in Florida, which confirms

tho alwve. The letter states tha t in one

day ho shot thirty alligators, and that the

creatures are more dangerous than amia-

an egregious blunder. How to rectify it

DKAK BARKER : I hev been a prok-tiksl dispeptik for 27 year® and fore months, and it would hav b«en mnnny in my pocket if I had been born with-out enny stum muck.

I hav prayed upward of one thousand times to be on the in aide like an ostrich or a colportar.

I hav seen traveling colporters who could eat az much az a goose.

I hav seen a goose eat til they could not stand up enny mote, and then set down and eat sum, and then lay down and eat sum, and then roll over and eal sum more.

I hav tried living on Altered water, and going bare-foot for the dispepshe, and that did not hi t the spot.

1 hav soked at water-cure establish-ments unti l I waz so limber that couldn't g i t myself bak agin inside ov mi Baldwin apparel.

1 bought a saddle-hoss once, who was got u p expressly to kure the dis-pepsuy—he was warranted to kure the disease in 90 days or kill the horse.

H e waz warranted to trot harder than a tr ip-hammer, poll wusser on the bite, s tumble safer down hill, than enny other boss on the futtstool.

I rode tha t Loss until f waz all ov a jelly, and then sold him, bridle and all, for sixty-eight dollars, and got sued by the purchaser, and had to pay him 90 dollars and sum cents dummage, be-kause the boss had the " N i m s b y s , " a disseaze i knu nothing about.

The boss and fixings cost me 450 dol-lars gold.

I kontracted for eleven kords ov kickory wood, kross grained and as pbul l ov wrinkles as an old cow's horn, and sawed away three months on it, and the pi le seemed to gro bigger every dav.

I finally gave away the saw, and what wood tbare waz left , to save mi life, and sat down diskouraged, a square victim to the everlasting dispepshcc.

I hav lived at tbe sea side, and gam-boled in tho saline flood, unti l i waz az well pickled az number one salt mackerel.

I hav dwelt at Saratoga, and taken the water like a mill, and still had the dispepshee.

1 hav walked 2 miles before break-fast, and then ett a slice ov dri toasts and haff the ^elk ov a pul let ' s eg, and felt all t he t ime az weak az a Kitten that bad jus t cum out ov a fitt.

I hav laid down more than 2 thou-sand times, and rolled over once a minni t all ni te long, and got u p in the morning like a korpBe,randthae d idn ' t noth ing seem to ail me enny where in partaklar.

I hav red whole l ibrary 's on the s tummuk and liver, and, when i got thru , i knu a grate deal less what was the mat ter ov me than when i begun.

I hav drank whiskee with roots in it euuff to carry oil" enny bridge or saw mill in the country.

I hav worked on a farm for mi vitiles und board, and dieted on frido pork and ri bred unti l I was az thin az t he sermon ov a 7 day Baptist preacher.

I hav dun all theze things and 10 thousand other th ings just as ridiku-l u s ; and i have got the old dishpep-shee yet, jus t as natral and az tbik az the pimples on a 4-year-old goose.

If you gi t a good bold ov the dispep shoe once yu kant never looze i t en t i re ly ; i t will cum arount once in a while, like a ghost, and if i t don ' t scare yu so mutch as it did once, and make yu think yu are goint to die to-morrow, it will make yu feel just az sorry.

Elephant* H*i. Tbe Calcutta Englisbnian siiyg;

" The hoisting into the air and lower-ing elephaBts into tbe bold of a ship, is not only an uumlia l sight to most men, but also a s t i t n g e ozperiencu to most elephants. They were lashed with strong ropes, s lung as fur as practica-ble in slings, hoisted u p with cranes with threefold tackles, and lowered into tbe steamer's bold like bales of cotton. When in the hold, they were placed in pens bui l t of s t rong teak-timber baulks, bolted to the ship 's side to prevent tbem from breaking loose. The fear the animals suffered was the only pa in they underwent ; and by watching the eyes of t he poor beas ts t ' jeir terror was very manifest . Tears trickled dowa the i r mild countenances, and they roared with dread, more especially when being lowered into the hold, the bottom of which was sanded for them to stand upon. We are told that one timid female e lephant actually fainted, and was brought to with a fan and many gallons of water. • At sea it appears t ha t the animals got into a cunous habit of occasionally— evidently with a preaoncerted s i g n a l -setting to work rocking t be ship from side to side, by giving themselves, simultaneously, a swinging motion, as they stood athwart ship, tbe vessel rolling heavily, as if in a seaway. This they would do for a spell of.an hour or more, and then desist lor several hours unti l the strange freak took them again. When they reached por t t hey were hoisted out of the hold und swam to the shore, thirty-five being t h u s safely landed without any accident whatever. Wbeji they were released from the slings it was a supreme moment for the mahout, who was al-ways on the elephant 's neck from the t ime of its touching tbe water to let-t ing go, each of the elephants, either f rom the lightness of his heart a t being freed from bis floating prison, or f rom bis own weight, we are not sure which, —lightness of heart l ike lightness of bead, causes elephants and men to play pranks,—plunged;,down deep Into tbe water, the mahout on his neck. T h anxiety on the face of tbe mabont, jns t one second before the plunge, was a s tudy ; so, too, was i t when elephant and man rose to tbe surface again, t he

f o r m e r blowing water from bis t r unk and tho latter from his nose."

First Levee on the L'uiier Mississippi. The first levee on the Upper Missis-

sippi is uow being finished at Suy Is-land, in Adams, Calhoun, and Pike counties, Illinoig. The Sny is a sort of side channel of the Mississippi, sepa-rating from tha t river about twelve miles below Quincy, and joining i t again forty eight miles fur ther down. I t is from four hundred to six hundred feet wide, sluggish, and in the levee scheme is I'xpected to act as a drain in tbe t ime of flood, and as an irr igating channel in time of draught . The new levee is to be fifty-two miles long, and will reclaim one hnndred thousand acres of excellent land hi ther to subject to overflow iu seasons of h igh water. The levee is on tbe average forty feet wide at the bottom, st.ven feet high, and five feet wide at the top. Hinoe i t was begun, t be land it is to reclaim has nearly doubled in value. I t was to have been finished in March next, bu t will require severul months longer.

Calves should be fed all they will eat when in the stable, such food as bright hay, well-cured, corn fodder, chop, etc., and allowed, if the weather is clear, to run out on pasture awhile every day to eat grass; and for this purpose a field should be reserved for them expressly for winter use. Calves managed iu this way, if they are good stock, cannot fail to grow to that standard of perfection which is the most desirable, and every farm-er ahonld labor for tbe greatest excellence in this branch of his business.

H a r r o w i n g .

Harrowing is of j great advantage In spreading the compost more evenly and finely than it could pocsibly be done by hand; also, it has the effect of spreading the surface and incorporating the manure with it in such a way that the roots of the grass may at once reach it and appropriate it. Harrowing meadows early in spring is always advisable and beneficial, even when no manure is spread; the stiiring of the surfaoH seems to invigorate the plants greit-ly. Having practiced it for years we re-commend it.

H o w t o B n l l d a B l a c k M a r t i n H o u s e .

I have had much experience in this mat-ter, and tried many experiments during my boyish days, especially as to position and eolor. The most sucocssful one iu this line leads me to conclude that a martin house may be built three stories high, the baok,ends, and roof should be tight and with close joints; each apartment should be made about ten inches deep from front to rear and fonr and one-half inches wide in the clear, with a Miling five inches high; these apart-ments should be less in dimension rather than greater. The opening Should be three inches in height, arching over tho top, and two inches wide. In front and on a level with each floor, a piazza two inches wide should extend from end to end, with a rail-ing made of wire, the top rail of a good-sized galvanized telegraph wire, and the meshei worked with a smaller wire, but as suificintly close as to prevent the young birds from getting fastened in or crawling through the spaces. This railing should stand two inches from the front, and extend from the corners of the house, with a height of one and one-half indies. This will be somewhat of a barrier against the untim-ly falling of the young to the ground. The house should be invaria-bly painted red, and occupy a positmly safe position from cats, etc.

B a l l d l n g t ' h e e k e F u r t o r i c s .

Mr. T. D. Curtis gives in the Syracuse Standard the following directions for start-ing new factories:

We frequently huvo inquiries from par-ties who oonteuiplate building cheese facto-ries, regarding certain details which none but those who have actual experience can readily carry out. For tho benefit of all nesding such information, we have taken pains to prepair tho following:

tiizc of Factory.—Smtdl or medium-sized factories now soem to be in order. People do not like to carry milk long distances, and this fact undoubtedly accounts for the ten-dency to small factories, conveniently located. We will give the size of a building suitable for a dairy of three hundred to four hun-dred cows. Let it be eighty bv twenty-six feet, with Kixteen foot posts and two floors. From the end of the lower story take twenty-four feet for a make room, leaving the remainder for a curing room. Should more than one vat be used, tho make room will need to be about six feet larger one way. I t may be made so by taking tbe spaoe off from the curing room, or by put-ting a projection on the side. The upper story will be used for curing, but should be partitiened off the same as tho lower story. The room over the make room should be lathed and plastered, and provided with heating apparatus, so as to make a suitable place fur curing early und late made choose. The building may be cheap or expensive as desired.

T/m Walks.—It is now considered desira-ble to batten the outside and ceil up the in-side, thus making a doable wall with an air-t pace between. This enables the factory-man to control tbe temperature of the room better. If tho windows are hung in thu middle so that the top can be swung out or iu, as^the bottom swings in opposite direc-tions, it will be found a great convenience. Provision should be made for good ventila-tion. Stove-pipe or some other kind of tubing should be used for carrying the foul air from the lower room up through the upper room, instesd of its being allowed to diffuse itself all through the building. Of course the bottom of the pipes only have to be inserted in a hole through the ceiling and then eurried up through the roof.

Jtunyes or Ultelties.—Either setters and ranges or the old style Ublos may be used. The latter, since small-sized cheeses have come in fashion, are thu more common. They are quite as cheap and convenient, and by using them factory-men avoid the annoyance oensequent upon the protended patent-right which is claimed on tho rails and turners. But where two rows of benches are put side by side, au is usually the case,

there should be space enough left between them for the hand to enter while cleaning thtm.

Heating-ApjKtrntut.—Wo shall not recom-mend any particular style of vat, since by doing so we should seem to condemn others. But we will mention the fact that for small factories vats with self-heaters are prefera-ble and. the more economical. A sclf-heator can be set up and run anywhere, with a piece of stove-pipe to conduct off the smoke, and the expense of boilers, mason-work. &o., is avoided. Five or six cords of maple stove-wood, split fine and well seasoned, will run a good self-heater through the sea-son. Of late eteam has grown greatly into favor, both bocauso of its greater conve-nience and its greater cleanliness. Dry steam is the usual mode of applying heat. A good deal has been said against sttam in this form of cheese-making, but practice does not soem to justify the arguments. Many of the very best factories—those that get big yields and excel in quality—use dry' steam. Besides, steam affords motor-power which is useful in various ways.

I^resses and Hoops.—The appearance of a dairy depends very much on the trueness, as well as uniformity in height, of the cheeses. Good presses and hoops are there-fore essential, and save a great deal of trouble as well as give a great deal of satisfaction. We would not now recommend

i anything but tho Frazor gang press, which costs but little mere than the old style, while it saves a vast amount of labor, press-es truer, and gives much better satisfaction every way. After two years' observation of its operations, we do not hesitate to say that any man who builds a new factory or re-places the presses t: d hoops of an old one, would make a great mistake if he did not introdute the press. But for the benefit of such as are prejudiced in favor of old styles and old ways, or against everything now, we give directions and measurements for building a strong and durable one. The press needs to be made heavy and strong, so as to avoid springiog and warping Let the sill be fourteen by four inches; the beam, ten by six inches, posts, four by fourteen mchtd, slanted from tho sill up-j ward to ten, the width of tho beams The • sill and beam should be boxed into tho posts three-fourths of an inch, and tho posts should extend above the beam some four inches. The inleral space allowed for each hoop should be two feet; and in each space between the hoops the sill and beam should be held in place by soven-eightbs inch rods! of iron, in the fi'st space from either end, a single rod is sufficient; tho next should have two rods, and so on alternately. The single rod should extend through the mid-dle of the sill and beam, and have heavy washers attached to each end to prevent the head or nut from settling into the wood. The double rods should go through the edges of the beam and sill, and through thu heavy washers of iron on the bottom of the sill, and through strong straps extending across the top of the beam. The presses should be made for pressing four or six cheeses, and be made of hard, seasoned timber. The screws should be 1^4 inch Of the various kinds of screws introdnoed, we know of none better than the old-fuh-ioned ones, with holes through them to re-ceive the bar.

Curd Sink.—The curd sink is an impor-tant thing in a factory. Its oonstructioa is always a matter of considerable speculation

I and perplexity. We will give dimensions for one suitable for a factory of the sue we indicated. I t should be sixteen feet long, two feet ten inches in width inride, and one foot deep. The bottom should be l)»j inches thick, and the sides one inoh thick. The legs should be three feet high, extending up the sides, so that the top of thc sink wul be three feet from the floor. The sink should be made of clear, seasoned pine, and the legs well jraoed, with cross and side pieces connecting them about six inches from the floor. Backs and cloth strainers may be used, or a false bottom with perforated tin strainers may be substituted. But if the cheddar prooens is adopted, none of these will be needed. Some of tbe dealers in

i dairy apparatus offer sinks of varioas con-struction, of the merits'of which dairymen must judge for themselves. The sink should be on large castors, so that it can be easily run where needed.

Weighing ami Dumping Ajiparalus.—Tho proper height of the weighing can, of tho dumping window from the ground, and the best apparatus for unloading, are generally matters quite perplexing. The proper height of tne i-aceivingcan is that which gives a gen-tle slope to tho conductor, as too much cur-rent not only causes tho milk to slop ovor the sides of the strainer, but drives the dirt through the strainer. With vats throe feet two inches high, the platform for tbe scales should be three foet eight inohes from tho floor- A square tin box, with bits of wire strainer cloth in tho sides, is in use at the factory of Dr. L. L. Wight, Whitestown, N. Y., and is the best kind of strainer wo have ever seen. It is held in place by being flt^ ted to a wooden rack.

Of the many appliances for unloading, none is simpler, cheaper or more satisfac-tory than the crane, unless it be a large, wheel and shaft overhead, like the oue used at Budlong's factory, in West Schuyler, N. Y., which does the work easier than any lifting apparatus we have seen. A crane may be made of scantling four by four inch-es, the upright eight feet long, and tho arm

1 seven foot. Hang it as you would a barn-door. Fasten ono end of a strong half or three-quarter inch rope to the ond of the arm; run it through a pulley to which is attached the tongs ; then over a four-inch pulley above, near tbe end of thc arm; run it back over a similar pulley next to the upright, then down to a throe inch roller, with a crank, at a convenient height for turning. One end of the crank must be sustained by a strong iron strap, bowing outward in the direction of the arm, to ad-mit tho roller (about six inches long) length-wise, and fastened to the upright alMve and below.

The window-sill should be not more than two or three inohes above the edge of the receiving-can, which should stand close to the window, just clearing the sill The road shoiUd be eighteen inchos below the platform on which stand the scales and weighing can. Then the can, when raised just onougli to clear the wagon-box and wheels, will be of the right height for dumping when swung round to the window. Many make the mistake uf getting the road too low, which Cannes thu unnecessary work of raising tho milk iliree or four feet by hand before it can be dumped, and wastes strength and time, both in raising the can | and lowering it back again into tho wagon after it is emptied.

The Location, etc.—In building a factory, every provision should be made for cleanli-ness. I t should be located neai a living

jpring of water, ranging in temperature somewhere between forty-five and fifty-five degrees. There should be sufficient wafof to fill, at all times, an Inch* pipe, and care should be taken to secure a fair head— enough to carry the water above the vats, at least. The water should be carried in pipes under the building, along by the ends of the vats whore i» is wanted, with penstocks rising from tho pines, lo furni-h water for each vat. The faucets in the penstocks should be all of the same height—if anv difference is made, the one farthest from the head might bo « quarter or half an inch the lowest. Outside should be a penstock, to carry off the superfluous water. The out-let to this should be a few inches higher than tho faucets in tho penstocks for sup-plying tbe vaU with water. This is neces-sary to secure a flow of water in tho facto-ry. In freezing weather, and during the winter the penstocks in the factory can be moved, until needed for use, and the holes m tho pipe beneath plugged up. An extra faucet m ono of the penstocks at the ends of the vats, inserted high enough from the floor to set a pail under, will supply all the neoeasary cold water for cleaning and other purfKHies.

T h e H o u s e h o l d .

CitKAM OOBTABl).—Throe teascups of sweet cream, two eggs, heaping tablespoon of flour. Scald tho cream and let i t cook. Mix the flour to a smooth paste with a little cold cream; then stir in the cream and then eggs. Sweeten and flavor to suit the taste.

T o COOK DKIED SWEET COBN.—Soak the corn two hours in cold water, and then boil two hours over a moderate fire. When it is nearly done add a heaping teaspoon/ul of salt and tbe same of sugar to a quart of corn. Mix a tableepoonful of Hour with a cup of cream and a piece of butter the size of a hen's egg. Let it boil a minute and it is done. If boiled too long or too fast, the corn will be tough.

HOME MADE CANDLES.—Many r f our readers in the country will find that cmdles can be made economically by mixing a little melted beeswax with tho tallow to give du-rability to the candles, and to prevent its •• run ling." The light from a tallow can-dle can be improved in clearness and bril-liancy by using small wicks which have boen dipped in spirits of turpentine and thoroughly dried.

LEMON CHEESE.-Dissolve an ounce of gelstin, in a pint of water for an hour, add four ounces,of sugar, the rind and juioe of a large lemon, and simmer over the firo till the gelatine is entirely dissolved: strain,and, when nearly cold, beat into il the white of an egg thoroughly beaten. Wet the molds with water and put i t into tbem. When turned out i t will look like snow. This is s grateful dish to invalids.

A NICE LUNCH.—Tske slices of stale bread, dip them in batter and fay them in lard after the manner of crullers or dough-nu ts They should be peeled, cut in slicec one-fourth of an inch thick, dipped in batter made of one egg to one teaspoonful of flou-. and fried like crullere. Little potatoes peel-ed, wiped dry, fried thus, make a delightful accompaniment to steaks and relishes. This cold weather we can take more carbon in Uie shape of fat into our stomachs, with happy results, than in the summer season. Now, if ever, the season of doughnuts, mincemeat, and pastries.

DEVONSUIKE "FIXINGS."—Devonsh i re cream and " junke t" are two dishes rarely found outside of Devonshire and the bor-ders of the adjacent counties. Devonshire cream is a thick, clotted cream, from scalded and slightly sweetened milk, and is used for ordinary cream in the tea and coffee, and with tarts and cooked fruit , or in the place of butter on bread, toast and biscuits. One can hardly think how delicious it is. Jun-ket is only a soft curd flavored to suit the taste, and eaten like a pudding or custard. This dish, which the Devonshire people be-lieve to have ccme from the Phoonicians, be-cause travelers now find it in these Eastern countries, is not uncommon on American tables, but i t can by no means take rank as a delicaov compared wlrh Devonshire cream, nice little dishes of which you will find for sale at all the dairy-shops.

A Hem in i see nee of Ibe Second Empire.

Wri t ing ou J a n u a r y 15, the Par is correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette says : " Yesterday was tbe anuiversary of the Orsini a t tempt, and some faith-fu l adherents of t be Empi re thought tbe ball at tbe Elysee should have been p u t off ou that account. The anuiversurv is al luded t o iu a b i s tonc-al manner by tbe Monde and the Uni -verse, which Ultramontane journals appear to place fai th in a romantic ac count of the at tempt jus t published by a Florence paper. The uarrrtive said tha t directly a f te r tbe H t h of January, Napoleon I I I . consulted uu exiled Roman with whom be bad fought in the Romagna. as to what the sect re-

auired. The answer was: ' Tbe pardon of irBini,the proclamation of the inde-

pendence of Italy,und war with Austria within fifteen months . ' The fact is, says t he writer, the Emperor did all be could to grant the first demand, lie got t be Empress to implore pardon lor Ors in i ; he consulted bis Ministers, tbe diplomatic body, and only founa one person to resist him ; but this per-son, whoso calling should have render-ed bim more clement than others, de-clared t ha t t h e Emperor was not a t l iber ty to fet ter the arm of justice. The Cardinal Morlot said to him : 4Sir, your Majesty can do many things in France, no doubt, but you cannot do t h a t By the admirable mercy of provi ideuoe your life has been spared in this fearful a t t e m p t ; but around yuu French blood bus flowed, and t ha t blood demands an expiation. Napoleon comprehended. He had only oue th ing to do, whieb wns to go and find Orsini . ' Then follows a tale of how Napoieon renewed tlie engagements of his youth toward Italy, and swore in tbe a m w of Orsini to be his executor."

A TESTIMONIAL consisting of a rose-colored Irish poplin dress and a sui t of I r i sh point laee, were presented to Madame Tit iens iu Dublin, the other day, as u mark of appreciation from the I r ish people.

t j j Telegraph. fl { ' r tora thn yew Tork Dally Onphlc. |

Mr. Orton, in bis recent leviow of t he repor t of t he Postmaster General upon a governmental telegraph, makes three po in t s :

1. T h a t t he plan for a postal tele graph has been rejected by Congress.

2. Tha t tbe governmental telegraphs abroad have been a constant drain up-on tbe publ ic treasury.

3. Tha t t he ra tes here are but little bigher than abroad, while the telegraph is as freely used here as there.

Two proposit ions for t he transmis-sion of correspondence have been pre-sented to Congress ; one by Mr. Cres-well, who favora a purely governmental system, with lines purchased, owned, and operated by the Postofflce Depart-ment. This plan has never been ap-proved by any committee of Congress. The o ther is Mie postal telegraph sys-tem. advocated by Mr. Hubbard . I b i s proposes to have Udegrapbie, l ike other correspondence, received and dis-t r ibu ted through the postofflce, and transmitted by telegraph between postal telegraph-offlces, by parties run-ning and opera t ing the lines, under contract with tbe Postofflce Depar t -ment, at rates fixed by Congress— a b o a t 38} per cent, less than those now charged. Til is plan was first recom-mended by Postmaster-General Ran-dall to Congreas. In two different ses-

j sions favorable reports accompanied by bills have been made in the Senate,

j The Committee on Appropriations in the House, instead of ignoring the matter , as intimated by Mr. Orton, | mi'de a repor t in its lavor, oue year I ago. Tho bill was not reached in the I House, and, therefore, was not acted i upon.

Mr. Orton says t he telegraph has been a constant loss to the Euro-pean states, forget t ing that abroad the sole object of t he governments is not to make the rates high enough to realize profits for the stockholders of a pri-vate corporation, but to make them so low tha t t bey shall barely pay tbe ex-penses. With this end in view, fre-quent reductions iu rates have been made, with t he knowledge tha t af ter a year or two the increased businees would more than compensate for

| any loss sustained a t first. I n Bel-g ium and Switzerland the telegraph has paid, not only all operating ex-penses, but the cost of construction. The latest statistics for the European states show tha t t he receipts a l i t t le exceed the operat ing expenses.

Mr. Orton arrives a t a different re-1 suit by including the cost of construc-tion of new lines as a par t of t he operat ing expenses, al though he ex-eludes tbem when computing the ex-penses of his own business. Mr. Orton says t he rates here a ' e " as low-as the average rates in European coun-tr ies ," and tha t the rates here are fifty cents. His report for t he year ended the 30th of J u n e last, published in October, »ho*8 tha t the average rate paid by the publ ic for te legraphic messages for t he year was sixty-seven cents. I t has been somewhat reduced since then, and is now about sixty. Mr. Orton includes t he dead-heads with t he paid messages, and so makes the average appear comiderabiy less than it really is. The annual number of messages transmitted in Europe, by t be latest re turns wo have, were 32,-400,000. The gross receipts were |19, 288,462, which gives the average rate a t tbirty-six cents. The rates for in-land messages average twenty-nine cents, one-half tbe rates charged by the Western Union Telegraph Company.

The use of t he telcgr&ph. in propor-tion, to population, is greater abroad than with us, and is increasing in Great Britain, Switzerland and Bel-g ium much more rapidly than here, where i t does not keep pace with other business.

A f t e r F o u r ,

There was once a Germiiu nobleman who led a foolish and dissipated life, i neglecting his people, bis family and I his afiuirs, drinking and gambling. He had a dream one night, which vividly impressed him. He saw u figure look-ing at him with a serious face and point ing to a dial when the hands marked the hour of four. The figure looked at him sadly und said the words, " A f t e r four , " and disappeared. The nobleman awoke in great terror, th ink-ing tlie vision foreboded speedy death. " A f t e r f o u r ! " What could it mean? I t must mean that he would die in four days. So he set his house in order, sent for the priest, confessed bis sins and received absolution. He also sent for his family, and begged the i r for-giveness for pas t offences. After ar-ranging his affairs with b is man of business h e waited lor dea th . T h e four days passed on, and he did not ] die. He then coucluded tbe vision1

meant four weeks. He did all he could, but at tbe end of four weeks he was still alive, i t is plain now, h e said, the vision meant four years, and in tbe next four years be gave bis whole lile und for tune for tbe improvement of his people, his neighbors, und the poor, taking an honorable part iu his public affairs. At tbe end of four years he was elected Emperor ol Germany. i

ABSOLUTELY pure iron is said to have been prepared by a Russian chemist by means of the galvanic battery. During the process a large quanti ty of hydrogen was disengaged from the ordinary iron used. The pu re iron is a silver white metal, very malleable and ductile, and so sof t as to be readily cut with a pair of scissors. I t oxides rapidly, and water is decomposed by i t with tho rapid absorption of oxygen

THE following is given by Berthelo. I as a characteristic reaction, for alcohol 1 especially in organic l i qu ids : " In t he presence of cold or lukewarm water benzoic chlorido is only decomposed with extreme slowness, but , ou adding alcohol to the l iquid, benzoic ether i s immediately formed and is thrown down in excess. The presence of th i s ether becomes apparent if a lew drops of tbe liquor are heated witb a solu-tion of caustic po tash ; t he chloride only is decomposed, while the ether remains unaffected. This reaction is very evident witb a liquid containing one per cent, of alcohol, and allow us to dispense with dis t i l la t ion."

IN some recent experiments on the effect of alcohol on the blood, made by Pro lessor Biuz, of Bonn, it was found that moderate doses caused a dist inct decrease in the temperature of t he blood, exteudiug over half au hour or more ; and inebriating quant i t ies caused a still more decided lowering, as much as from three to five degrees F. , which lasts for severul hours. Professor Binz also found tha t when putrefying blood bad been injected under the skin of an animal , t he ad-dition of a sufficient quanti ty of di luted alcohol in nearly every case preserved the l ife of the animal; those receiving no alcohol dying in two or three days.

A VALUABLE antiquarian discovery hp.s been made near Bournemouth, on the farm of Mr. Robert Hare. H e states that eighty-six urns, many of them containing portions ol human bones, have been dug up. A port ion of the mound where they were found has not yet been removed. The urns ure, in Mr. Cox's opinion. Roman, but a few persons who have already visited Ilia spot think they must be ancient British. Only one of the urns has been secured in even tolerable preser-vation. Thev are found only six inches or eight inches below tbe surface, and about two feet deep. Tbey quickly crumble to pieces ou being removed, but if exposed to the air for a time they becomc hardened.

IN the Revue Scientifique for Decem-ber it is s tated tha t a third skeleton of a t roglodyte has been discovered by M. Riviere in the caves of Men tone. Th i s new skeleton, judging frcm the various and numerous implements by which it was surrounded, lived at an epoch far more remote than that as-signed to tbe skeleton uow in the mu-seum of Paris. The instruments of warfare and other objects found with i t , though composed of flint and bone, are not polished. They ure only sharpened, and by their coarse execu-tion appear to belong to the palaio-lithic age. On the upper part of the skeleton was a large number of shells, each pierced with a bole, which ap-peared to have formed a collar o r bracelets.

Pres ident Gran t has addressed the

lollowing message to Congress :

To the Senate and House of Repre-

tentative! :

1 have the honor herewith to sub-

mi t the report of the Contiuental Com-

missioner?, and to add a word in the

w a y of recommendation. There

h a v e now been international expo-

sitions held by three of the largest pow

err in Europe. I t seems fitting that the

lOOth anniversary of our independ-

ence should be marked by an an

ovent that will display to the world

the g rowth and progress of a Nat ion

devoted to f reedom and lo the pursui t

of fame, fortune and honor, by the

lowest citizen as well as the highest .

A fa i lure in this enterpr ise would b e

deplorable. Success can bo assured

by arousing public opinion to the

impor tance of the occasion. T o

gccure this end, In ray j u d g m e n t .

Congressional legislation is necessary

to make the exposition both National

and international. The benefits to

be derived from a successful interna-

tional exposition are manifold. I t

will necessarily be accompanied b y

expenses beyond receipts f i c n the

exposition itself, bu t t iny will be

compensated for many fold by i h e

minglini; of people from all sections

of our coun t ry ; by br inging ' together

people of different nationalit ies ; by

br inging into juxtaposi t ion for ready

examination our own and foreign skill

and progress in manufactures , agn-

culture, ar t , science and civilization.

T h e selection of the site for the

exposition seems to be appropriate,

i rom the lac*, tha t 100 years before

the exposition the Declarat ion of

Independence , which launched us

n t o the ga laxy of nations as an inde-

p e n d e n t people, emanated from the

var ied climate, soil, mineral products

and skill, of which advantage can b e

taken b y other nationalities to their

p r o f i t I n re turn they will b r i ng t o

our shores work for their skill, and

familiarize our people with them, to

the mutua l advan tage of all paniea .

NOTICE. I take this method to inform tho citizens o^

Lowell and vicinity that I have opened a shoe shop over Parker's meat market, opposite N. L. McCarty's grocery store, where I will be found at all bnsiness hours, ready and willing to wait upon those who seo fit to boaor me wilh their patronage. Furthermore, I claim I can make a better class of fine boots and shoes than anyone in this lineof basiness in Lowell, and I will accept any challenge in workmanship from any of them who think to the contrary. I will not be eicelled in quality of work or stock. Give me a trial and I will give 70a ample proof that I can do all that I advertise. Repairing of all kinds neatly done.

J o n x HOWABD.

A BAUOAIN,—Mr. J. F. Chesebro says his

property on tbe corner of Kent and Washing-

ton streeU H O S T BE SOLD, as Mr. C.and family are soon to remove from Lowell. The property

can be purchased for much less than it is worth. Tbe location is a desirable one. A gohd bouse, barn, well, cistern, fences and all conveniences for a pleasant home. The house is elegantly famished and the furniture will be sold witb the premises at a very low figure. An opportunity is here presented to obtain the best bargain ever offered in this village. Call on Chesebro for proof.

SNOWING ON PILATCS.

FENHO DOUGLASS.

"Natalie, Natalie!'1 The sbrill com-plaining voice roused me from my reading, I glanced down the garden path to whore 'ae girl, Natalie, stood leaning upon the stone terrace, with her chin npon her hands. She was looking away to where Mount Filatus lifted the snow-covered peaks against the clouds. A mist covered the highest points of the mountain, by which we, down in the valley among the vines, knew that it was snowing np there.

" Natalie, Natalie I " oame again the sharp voice from the cottage window. The girl down the path raised her head and turned slowly toward the boose.

Natalie was only a peasant girl, dressed in the quaint costume of tho canton—but her erimson skirt was fine and soft, and the black velvet of her bodice heavy with dainty silver embroideries. Rich, heavy silver chains hung from her shoulders and fastened at the points of her bodice. The linen that folded over her bosom was deli-cately fine. Her magnificent dark hair formed a coronal, fastened by bands of sil-ver. Broad buckles of silver decorated her small though rudely made shoes. Pictur esque, indeed, she looked, as she paused for a moment at the porch, and, shading her eyes with her hand, looked once again to-ward Pilatus. Above the avenge height exquisitely proportioned—a Madonna-like face lighted up by a pair of huge, dusky eyes, that could grow misty with tears, or sparkle merrily on occasion. Now I saw a new expression in them—I could scarcely define the look—fear, sorrow, pain, seemed to be mingled there.

44 Natalie!" called the voice of the invalid within, again, this time more pleading than severe.

441 am coming, matrina," answered the girl, entering the door-way.

44 Oh, Natalie,'' criea tho old woman In a mourning voice that reached me through the open door,44 it is snowing on Pilatus, I know, or you would have answered me long ago. Will yon never forget,''

44 Yes, matrina. it is snowing up there; forgive me lor neglecting you, but I cannot help watching it. Would heaven I could forget!'' The girl's voice was full of sad

Ethos, and letting my book fall from my tless hands, I fell to wondering what ro-

mance, or, probably, superstitipn, was con nected with tbe snow-storm of the monntain. 1 had been lounging liere for four weeks now, opposite Lucerne—climbing the hills or rnakinK little voyages about on the four lakes. Many a quaint legend had been told in those tew weeks by the peasants-told in their odd pulois, that 1 was puzzled to understand. Only yesterday an old man, while rowing me across the lake, told me how up among the peaks of Pilatus is a dark, f-tagnunt sheet of water, und there, from .Tudea, came the conscious-stricken Pon-tius Pilate to commit suicide, which he did very properly—but he can never rest, and jost before the terrible storms which sweep down from tbe mountain, bis spirit is seen by the hunters who .nay chance to be in the vicinity of this unholy pool, to rise from the water and wash his hands, evidently in great distress of mind. The only drawback to tho story was the old man's adding sol-tmnh' that none who saw this apparition escaped death in the storm that was sure to follows. Not much encouragement to go up for thc purpose of seeing Pilate.

44 Will thc Herr Freunder join us in par-taking vesper bread?" said the pleasant voice of Natalie at my side.

I started from my reverie, and'followed her into the long, low living room where tho evening meal was spread.

The invalid greeted me with her gentle, dignified "Greetings, sir guest!" a title •he always bestowed upon me. ignoring all others. I often wondered bow my hostess managed to give her voice so sharp a tone, as she occasionally did, after hearing her greet me.

Boon after the close of the meal the old lady row; to retire, bidding me good-night. 1 wundered out into the garden again, to enj y the moonlight and a cigar, boftly across the water from Lucerne floated the sound of bellfl The voices of happy sing-ers on tbe lake reaching my ear. Pilatus rose cold, white, ghostly in the moonlight. Entranced by the almost unearthly beauty of tho scene before me, I stretched myself upon a garden seat near the entrance to en-joy it.

Suddenly I was startled by hearing a long, sobbing sigh near me. Looking up, I saw Natalie leaning ber arms upon the terrace as I had seen her in the afternoon. She was a^ain watching the snow-storm on Pilatus. Kiidug, I went to her side.

'• Good-evening, Natalie! Why so sad, Frenudchen ?"

She raised her large eyes;.they f<fe fall: of sorrow and pain.

" It snows te-night on Pilatus," she an-swered, tremulously.

•'But why should it grieve you? WiU you not tell me ?"'

To my surprise she dropped her head upon th stone work and gave way to a stormy, passionate burst of tears. 1 did not speak or strive to comfort her a few moments. She was sobbing out some grief long pent up. Presently 1 took her hand and led her to the seat I had just left, and as she grew calmer, I said

41 Come, Natalie, little friend, confide in me ; tell me what grief is so trembling your young heart."

41 Oh, sir, it is so hard to bear; they say I will forget it by and by ; but I never shall ' ' Her voice rose excitedly over the last sentence.

"Tell me what it is that yon cannot for-get, dear Natalie."

•'Yes, I will tell you. You have been down the lake and over the St. Ootthard Pass—you know jnst how fair it is on the other side of the mountaini. I was bom over there! I am an Italian, then, by birth—but oh, I love the Schweiz, the beautiful home of my adoption. Only the monntain over there—Pilatna—I hate, hate and curse the dreadful mountains 1" She shuddered and sighed heavily.

44 Madre died when I was born, and the dear Swiss matrina who took me to her heart and made me her godchild the day my mother died, brought me here to her home to be her daughter. She had a son then— oh, he was so fair and gentle and brave in the childhood days when wc studied and played together; and oh, he was^fairer and nobler aa a man, when and I stood beside him a tall maiden—a woman by reason of my love for him, my brave my lost Franz. He took me to his heart one day and told me I was to be his bride. His mother smiled and blest us. And I—I was in a heaven of peace and gladness. The days went by, and we'were counting by hours—the time was so near for our marriage. He laughingly left us one morning, saying he would take his last hunt; because after he had a wife he could be allowed no such freedom. He went away to Pilatus to hunt. Ho never—come -back . "

The girl rose, fieroely cla«ping her hands together.

41 The terrible storm-epirit took him in his embrace; he is liln^ up there in the! snow, and every storm is burying him deeper from me. A year to-night ho hss been sleeping there—and I have been watch ing down here. Meln Gott, mein Gott; mein Franz, mein Franz!"

And again she leaned her head npon the stonework in a passion of tears. I took her hand, soothingly, in mine—but what could I say to the young stricken heart ? I only held her cold hand, silsnUy waiting far her to grow quiet. Presently she raised her head.

44 Forgive me for intrudiag my grief npon you, but it has been a relief I have never shed tears since he left ns, until to-night the horrible pain seems to be softened in my heart through these tears. I thank you for your patience. 1 must go into the house —good-night"

" Goood-night, Natalie. Ooli sri mil dir ! " She bowed her beautiful head an instant

at my words, and then glided away. I sat down to think over the story I had just heard Cruel Pilatus! I t did not look so fair as it had an hour ago. So musing, I must have fallen to asleep. When I roused, the moon was still shining, through with fainter light I was about to rise and re-hum to the house, when, chancing to glance toward the terrace, I saw some one leaning against i t Was it Natalie attain ? I look-ed closely. I t was a man. f rose and ap-proaohed him. He started at my footstep on the paved walk, and turned full toward me. A tall, noble-looking lellow—though I could see even in tbe dim light that his face was pale and thin. Something inspir ed me with a strange idea; before knew what I would say, 1 exclaimed:

" I t is Franz—nichi toahr f " The man came to my side, hastily. 44 Yes, I am Franz; but who are you ?

do not recognue you. And—ana—Natalie. Is she well—does she live ?"

41 Yes, she lives, but believes you dead, How did you get here ?"

41 She loves me still—waits for mo ?'' "Yes, yes." 44My mother?" " Lives, and only needs to know you live

to be restored to health.'' 41 Nun Gott tei Dank ! " And the stronj;

head sank down just where Natalie's ha<, been an hour before—and be cried and sob-bed for joy. After a little wo sat down to gethev upon tho garden-seat, aud Franz told me how he had been caught in the storm and nearly died; was rescued by the hunt era—had brain-fever in the peasant's hut they had taken him to ; had lain several months weak in mind and body; at last rallied, and, bv slow degrees, recovered but thu year had passed, nearly, before he was fit to start for home. He had reached i t fearing, hoping, and when he reached the garden, had been utterly broken in heart least he was to find them all dead—or shock them to death by bis appearing to them, his dear ones. This was his story. Then told him all about Natalie and his mother and, having made him promise to be patient and wait my return, I went to the house to call Natalie. The red morning light was just breaking over the hills, Natalie opened her door as I approached i t She looked a little pale.

41 Dear child," began 1, gently "" some one who saw your dear Franz is hero, and would like to speak to you of him-"

"Yes, dear friend, I dreamed of Franz; let ns go and see this visitor."

I took her hand and led her to thc garden. Franz stood turned from as. I led her to bis side. She looked np. He opened his arms.

" Franz 1" 44 Natalie 1" She lay clasped to his breast. They spoke

no word. I saw their trembling, clasping arms, and bowed haeds. I turned away. I could not look upon their unutterable joy I leaned my old head down on the terrace and wept.

Well! We are going to have a wedding in the garden to-day, I shall give away the bride. Franz, the bridegroom, is busy mak-ing wreaths for the terrace—and Natalie flits here and there, touching and retouch-ing, after the mother, who forgets she is an invalid.

I hear Natalie singing " Ach die Welt ut so choen."

Dr. Brown-Sequard lectured in Ply-mouth Church last evening on mental phenomena. Tbe famous scientist is apparently fifty years old, nnd notably handsome. His gray hair and whiskers are neatly trimmed, his features are clearly out and striking, and his color

youthful in its freshness. Mr. Beecher introduced him to the audi-ence, which included the majority of the preachers nnd physioiansof Brook-lyn, besides a good share of the Ply-mouth congregation. Tlie platform had been fitted up for the occasion with a reading desk, a row of gas jets, and a blackboard. Dr. Brown Sequnrd took his place at the stand, on which he laid his cane, and prefaced his speak-ing with a good-natured, half depreca-tory smile. His first utterance betrayed his*French accent which is so strong that close attention was necessary on the part of the audience, in following his meaning throughout the lecture. •

He BiartM with dividing the nervous system into the elements of cells and fibres, which ramify the brain nnd spinal column. The nerves are a net-work of the fibres connecting with the cells, and the irritation of either pro duces both action or the arrest of ac-tion. The .irritation of the cells of the brain may affect some ether port of thc brain, or some remote part of the body; or the irritation of nervous fibres in any part of ihe body may, af feet the brain. From these facts arise the complicated phenomena of mental and nervous disorders, and the diffi-culty of understanding them. If cold water be injected into the ear an im-mediate aud very marked effect will be the result in the nervous system.

WHAT KILLED THE IRON DUKE. " O n e of the greatest of military

herons," said the lecturer, " the Duke of Wellington, employed a quack, who injected nitrate of silver into his ear. The Duke a t once rolled and squirmed like an eel being fr ied." He showed with his cane how the Duke squirmed like an eel being fried, and the audi ence laughed heartily. " But that did not eure him," added the lecturer, his dialect adding to the quaintness of the illustration, " a n d the next day the

uack tried the experiment again 'his time he did get enough of it—and

of life, too, for he died the next day." To show how small a.nervous irrita-

tion may cause serious effects, he told of a boy who on getting up one morn ing was attacked with acute mania and convulsions. When the sufferer was laid on the bed, the mania and convulsions at once ceased ; bu t when ever he got on h is feet the symptoms returned with great severity. The sur-geon who was called made a thorough examination, and in doing so found that the boy had the day before run a piece of glftss under the nail of one ol his big toes. This had injured a nerve in such a way that the pressure of standing on the foot invariably threw him iLto the alarming symptoms, cutting away of a ' portion of the toe eflected an immediate cure. That a minute irritation may have immense power over the brain and nerves was illustrated by other cases, aud he regarded the field which these facte open for scientific re-search as vast.

The phenomena of arrest of action was the second phase oi the subject, and in handling i t the lecturer first spoke of the great power of the will in arresting convulsive movements. Our consciousness leaves us during sleep through an arrest of activity similar to that produced by irritation of a certain nerve in the neck. Convulsions are the result of irritation of particular cells. He had had thirten ecases in his own practice, in which pressure of the big toes stopped convulsions of the legs In epilepsy, when the bead is drawn towards one shoulder, relief can be procured by pressing the head over to-ward ibe other shoulder.

In discussing affections of the brain tbe lecturer said that an injury to the brain might produce mania ; yet a dis eased brain migbt result in no outward symptoms. He knew of cases where half of the brain had been entirely diseased and no affections of the intel*-lect had resulted, and others where very slight hurts had caused violent mania.

" You might just as well argue," he said, " that the soles of the feet are the seat of the power of laughter, be-cause tickling them makes yon langh, as that, bocause tbe irritation of cer-tain cells of the brain produces certain effects, those cells are tho seat of a cor tain power. * » * The power of the will over the system is not so great as is supposed. I was called in Paris to see a girl who was suspected of pious imposition. Upon hearing a church bell ring at eight every Sunday morn-ing she would stand on her feet on tho edge of the bed, and, while her body remained as immovable as a statue, pray incessantly until tho bell rang again, twelve hours afterwards. I gave her a galvanic shock so powerful that a healthy person could not have endured it, yet she did not stir. There is no doubt but she had received from her brain gome immense power over her nervous system entirely inde-pendent of her will. The act of per-formance doe*' not have reference to the wiU. The communication between the brain and spinal cord may be very largely destroyed and still voluntory action exist. A very few remaining fibres are sufficient. * * * Many facts show that when the will has or-dered a certain action, that action is completed independent of the will—as walking m sleep. Indeed, the action of the muscles is nearer perfection the less we think about it. The action is more like a telegraphic dispatch from the brain telling the muscles what to d f , than a vihraton of tbe nerves di-rectly causing cnis result,

The National Grange circular for January shows an increase, since the 18th of December, when tbe la t t circu-lar was issued, of 1,566 granges. The total at that date was 9,296; the total at that of the last circular was 1,862 Tbe membership is only approxi-mately stated a t about 780,000.

WHAT PABENT8 OUGHT TO KNOW.

••These facts," he said, "go to show that each of tbe two sides of tbe brain is complete,and able to perform singly the offices of both. I am satisfied that we make a great mistake in not teach-ing our children to use both sides of the body alike. We ought to be able to write with one hand as well as the other. I t would be a great gain if both sides of tbe brain could thus be developed equally by even use of the body."

He combated the accepted theory of the influence of the mind over the body, which is that the action is like playing upon a piano, or tbe automatic indicator in a hotel. His objection to it was that the number of nerve fibers connecting the brain with the body, by the way of the spinal cord, are very few compared with the possible move-ments of the various parts of the body. He drew dotted circles on the black-board to illustrate the unnumbered positions which a hand takes in a simple operation, and asked how there could be a fiber for each of them. His second argument against the accepted theory was that in many instances the medulla obiongata, or bond of union between tho brain and body at the top of the spinal column, bad been in a

About Phosphorus.

One of the largest manufacturers of pbospborus in Europe has stated that the whole stock of tho article in tbe chemical establishment where he was trained consisted of a little stick two inches long. He has lived to seo it pulled by bis own machinery in u cord uncounted miles long, and despatched by t..e ton together for use in both hemispheres. The'chemiet still lives in London who first produced phospho rus for use by the friction match manu facturors at 12,500 per pound. Now demand and competition have reduccd the price so low that a single pound can bo bought in tho city for about ono dollar. I t was at one time feared that the demand for bones for agricultural purposes would so enhance tbe c o s t and diminish tbe supply as to raise the price of phosphorus to a high point. But the discovery of the immeuse de-posits of phosphatic rocks in this country and elsewhere has set at rest all apprehensions of this nature, Wc have phosphorus enough quiotly res t -ing in tho South Carolina rock-beds to meet tbe demands of tbe world for thousands of centuries, and no one need be anxious concerning a full supply a t cheap rates of the indispen-sable friction matches during his own lifetime at least.

ONE of tbe foreign papers gives an ac count of the vitality of an orange t r ee : " T w o persons to whom an orange tree had been bequeathed, not being able to agree as to their respective shares in it, resolved at last to divide i t into two equal parts by sawing it throngh from tbe top to the bottom. This was accordingly done; «ach removed his part, covered the wounds made by the saw with a mixture of clay and cow-dung, and planted it. The result was that by degrees the bark covered the exposed surface, and each of the halves became a perfect and healthy tree."

"Darwinism has. in reality, its right, its centre and its l e f t In the right there is express belief in God; in the left oue boasts the annihilation of a personal Creator, and finds in this destruction the ultimate goal of scien-tific progress. Where sits Mr. Darwin in this conclave oi his partisans '< With the right, most certainly. That he has erred in not breaking with his left, and even somewhat with his centre, I agree; yet that is not the most strik-ing mark of his philosophical inferior-ity. I t appears in the vices of his method, in the enormous interval be-tween what he affirms and what he proves, and in the tocisnnequal use which he makes of psychology aud physiology. His works, nevertheless, for wealth of observation, for extent and diversity of knowledge, are a prec-ious mine whence comparative psychol-ogy will derive immense benefit—but on one condition—that it resist tho se-duction of the spirit of tbe system, aud that it seek the t rue more ardently than the new "

MODERN MEDICAL DISCOVERY.—It i s chimed that disease, with a few excep tions, has been conquered by the re-search and intellect of enlightened men; and yet a noted professor of New York admits that "of all sciences, medicine is the most uncertain," and tha t 4 4 thousands ore annually slaugh-tered in the sick room." Certain " s c h o o l s " of medicine are in exist-ence, one of which "makes the patient i l l . ' ^B order to claim a cure; and an otheiadminiBtors 44 sugar-coated bread pills, relying upon nature to effect her own cures. Dr. J . WALKER, of California, an old and respected physi-cian, tried both modes of treatment and both failed. He then appealed to na-ture's enrative—herbs; and now enjoys rugged health. He has given the ben-efit of bis discovery to the world, in the shape of VINKQAR BnraRS, and since its introduction has sold a quantity almost large enough to make a small harbor, or to float the "Great Eastern." I ts curative properties are attested by gratefnl thousands.—Com.
