Erial Navigation.

Mons. Petin the French balloonist,
who was expelled from Paris by Lewis
Napoleon, is now in New Orleans, prepar-
ing for great experiment in aerial navi-
cation, which he designs to make about
the middle of the present month. For
this purpose he is constructing an appa-
ratus, consisting of two immense balloons,
the largest in the world, to which will be
attached long, slender car, called ship
The latter is to be furnished with sails,
screw propellers, and an electromagnetic
engine, now building in the North. In
case the latter should not arrive in time,
Monsieur Petin will use small but pow
erful steam engine which will be ready for
him, SO that there may be no delay. The
balloons will be inflated from the city gas
works. The Pjcayu1ae, from which we
CLEAN these facts, says that Monsieur Pc
tin is a man of scientific research and
learning, to whom the balloon is not
mere means of amusement to a crowd,
but something to be used in devising a
practical and useful system of aerial nav
igation.

To CLEAN SILvER-When silver ha:

bred, it may be restored by the following
proeess:-Having dissolved two teaspoon
full of powdered alum in quart of mod,
lerately strong ley, stir in gill of soft
soap, and remove the scum or dross that
may rise to the surface. After washing
the silver in hot water, take sponge and
cover every article all over with this mix
ture. Let the things rest about a quarter
of an hour, frequently turning them
Next wash them off in warm soap suds,
and wipe them dry with soft CLOTH
Afterwards brighten them with rouge
powder, or with whining and spirits Of
wine.

A Hint the Farmer.

We may send to England for Durham
cows, and to Spain or Saxony for choi-
cest sheep; we may search the world
over for cattle that pleases the eye; but,
unless they receive the best care and lib
eral feeding, they will most assuredly de-
teriorate, and eventually become sss
worthless and as unworthy of propasa-
ton as any of the skeleton breeds that.
now haunt our rich but neglected pasture
lands We remember an enecdose IN
point and will relate it by way of illussra-
tion. a farmer having purchased cow
from country abounding in the Iiehest
pasturage, found that she fell shors OF the
yield which he was informed she had
been accustomed to give. He complained
to the gentleman of whom he had purehas-
ed. that the COW was not the one be had
bargained for, or in other words, that she
was not what she was cracked up TO be-
!Why," said the seller, Il sold you my
COW, but did not sell yOu my pasture
too.

To CLEAN CARPETs.-Your carpets

of soft water; scrub it well with soad and
with this gall mixture; let it remain til
quite dry, and it will be perfectly clean.
sed and look like new, as the colors viii
be restored to their original brightness
The brush you use must not be too hard
but rather long in the hair, or you will
rub up the nap and damage the article.

ADvERTIsING.-Dr. Buckley, in one
of his lectures, made use of an illustration
something like this: "Holding a dime
close to his eyes with ono hand, and a
half dollar at some distance with the 9TH
er, said he, [ cannot now see the half dol
lar with this eye, for the dime is SO close
it obscures my vision. So it is with man
kind in their eagerness to save one dollar,
they often lose sight of fifty within their
reach This is very apt illustration Of
the benefits of advertising. In saving one
dollar for advertising, dealers often fail
to secure customer whose trade would
be worth perhaps hundreds of dollars tc
them. Such merchants hold up the dime
so close that they cannot see the dollar
they might obtain.

VALUABLE REcIPE.-Take Plaster
Paris and soak it in a saturated solution
of alum, then bake the two in an oven, the
same as gypsum is baked, to make it Plas-
ter of Paris, after which they are ground
to powder. 1t is then used as wanted,
being mixed up with water, plaster, and
applied. 1t sets into a very ardposition,
capable of taking very high polish. 1t
may be mixed with various coloring min
erals to cement of any color, capable OF
initiating marble. This is a very rare
recipe, and is worth twenty dollars to ma
ny of our subscribers, who can prepare
for themselves.

A DoDGE.-When Deacon B. got into
a bad position, he was very expert al
crawling out of it. Though too quick
tempered, he was one of the best deacons
in the world. He would not, in sober
moment utter an oath, or anything like
one, for his weight in cider.
At the close of a rainy day, he was
walking upon knoll in his barn-yard; on
one side of which was dirty slough, and
on the other an old buck, that, in consid-
Grafton of his usually quiet disposition, be
was allowed to run with the cows. The
deacon was piously humming "Old Hun
dred, ;" and had just finished the line en-
ding with "exalted high" when the ram,
obeying a certain impulse to be aggres-
siVe, gave him blow from behind that
sent him up short distance, only to fall
directly into the slough, where the dirty
water was deep enongh to give him a
thorough immersing.
As he crawled out, and before he rose
from his hands and knees, he looked over
his shoulder at the ram and then vocifer
ated:
"You id old cuss" but on look
ing around and seeing one of his neigh
bors looking at him, he added in the same
breath, "if may be allowed the express
sion."

| all circumstances, on vegetable 1000, II
their highest health and vigor. 1t shoulC
be matter Of principle not to infict need
less suffering, nor to condemn thousand
of our fellow men to follow cruel and brut
talizing employments. As to the question
of taste, | fancy there can be no two o
pinions. Compare the fesh-eating ami
mails with those that live on vegetables.
Of carnivorous animals in their natu
raj state, we have the lion, the tiger, the
wolf, the hyeDa, &C.; of vegetable eaters
the horse, camel, OK, elephant, ourang
outang, &C., and of the omniverous, the
hog. The lion has fabulous reputation
for courage and magnanimity; but the
best informed naturalists assure US that
he is treacherous, cowardly and ferocious
like all his class. The hog may be a
respectable animal in his way, but he has
no qualities that | am aware of, to induce
me to follow his example in regard to di-
ct. Look now at the calm dignity of the
half reasoning elephant" the patient
docihty of the camel; the noble character
and beauty of the horse; the strength and
usefulness of the OK; the almost human
sagacity Of the monkey tribe ; and draw
an inference, if you will, of the relative
merits of the different systems of diet
AS matter of taste and feeling, | should
think every person of refinement would
give preference to the vegetarian system.
On the one side you have fields of waving
grain, trees loaded with luscious and O.
dorous fruits, fair apples, bluShing peach
es, blue plums and golden nectarines ;
vines laden with purple grapes, and a
wealth of fruits and berries innumerable,
making the earth all beauty and sweet
ness. On the other you have stall-fed
beasts, cruel and ferocious butcheries, the
pestilential odor of slaughter-houses, gut
ters running with blood, the mangled and
putrefying carcasses of dead animals, m a
king, altogether, a scene of such abomi-
nations as no person of sensibility wishes
to contemplate.
What is more beautiful than corn and
fruits What more revolving than dead
corpses? Who does not gather the yege-
table portion of his food with pleasure
Who would butcher his own meatifhe could
have it done for him? What more grace
full present than cakes and fruits? What
more ridiculous than the present made to
the Queen of England, the other day, Of
a lot of sausages!
do not write to impose my opinions
upon others. Let every one examine the
subject, and be fully persuaded in his own
mind. Hogs will continue to be fattened,
and pork to be eaten but let every man,
who reasons at all, satisfy himself that
his natural food is the flesh of the hog,
and no one ought to quarrel with his de-
cision. [ have no no doubt that very
large proportion of disease and prema-
ture mortality of this country comes from
our inordinate eating of flesh, and when
the question is fairly examined, all medi-
cal men will be of the same opinion.

NAILS GROWING IN THE FLEsH.-A
late writer in the "Ohio Cultivtor" gives
the following remedy: Cut notch in the
middle of the nail every time the nail is
pared. The disposition to close the notch
draws the nail up from the sides. Il
cured mine after I had suffered weeks
with its fostering.

Ry~A writer in the Baltimore Sun,
who has been afflicted severely in his FAM
lily by that appalling disease, bronchitis,
has found relief from the following rem
edy:
"Take honey in the comb, squeeze it
out, and dilute with little water, and
wet the lips and mouth occasionally with
it,"
1t has never been known to fail in cases
even where children had throatS so swol-
len as to be unable to swallow. 1t is GER
tainly a simple remedy, and may be a
very eficacious one.
