During "an evening with Madam Pfeif-
fer a correspondent of the Transcript
writes the following:
'Of all the countries have ever visited,
said Madam Pfeiffer, "of all the vile, i'm
moral places have ever seen or heard of, in
savage or civilized lands, the gambling sa-
looms in California are the worst. | went
there in company with friends; the doors
were open; everything invited entrance
SpIendor in every form; temptation most
subtle and powerful combined to lure the soul
and body to splendid curtains,
carpets, exqustely painted pictures, whose
subjects were so impure, that involuntarily
placed my hands over my eyes ; wine, Ii
quors of all kinds, free, and to be had for
the asking, all combined to lure the poor
mortal to sin and death. Yet all was so
voluptuously respectable, SO perfect in good
taste, so refined in appearance, so beautiful
to the eye, that its influence stole into the
soul, like the deadly poison of the Upas tree.
What wonder if, with awakened passions.
and brain made insane by liquor allured by
lovely young women, who preside at the
table and overlook the game, with gold
around and on every side of him, the poor
victim rushed to the gaming table for new
excitement and new phase Of stimulation 2
| asked Madam Pfeiffer, of all the coun-
tries she had seen, which she should prefer
as residence, quite aside from her love of
her native land, (Which is, think, Prussia. J
She said, " "Ceylon, the Island of Ceylon ;
the climate is so fine, the country so beauti-
Iul, the people so kind, hospitable and cour-
teous."

GA Man among the Women"

A remarkable trial came off lately in Or
ange county, n. Y, wherein man named
Ringland was plaintiff, and certain brethren
of the Methodist persuasion were defendants
The suit was instituted by the plaintiff to
recover damages from defendants for pitch
ing said plaintiff out Of meeting. The facts
were these in brief: Ringland in company
with his wife, and another female friend
went to an evening prayer meeting at the
Methodist Church in Gardentown, and took
his seat in the rear of the room by the
side of his wife and friend. An ancient
custom in that Church forbids males and
females from sitting together during service.
and soon 1t was circulated through the
congregation that " a man was among the
women" The plaintiff was requested to go
on the mems side," but he remained seated.
One OF the trustees-after the plaintiff had
explained that it was his wont to sit by his
wife, consented that he Nigh keep his seat
provided he would behave himself and keep
quiet. Other members, however, protested
against such infra ction of their time honored
rule, and five of them insisted that the plain
tiff must go to the other side," or 90 out
of the church. The plaintiff would not
leave the women, and thereupon commenced
free fight. Two defendants each grasped
leg, another two each seized an arm, and
another carried the head. The plaintiff
squirmed and kicked, the defendants tugged
and pulled, the men and women got thor
oughly mixed up, the lights were extinguish
ed, the stove and pipe tumbled down, the
plaintiff was carried out feet foremost" :"
and the defendants were decreed to pay $5l
for an assault and battery. But the man
stuck to the women

CURIOUS FAcT--By simple experiment,
it is easy 10 discover to what animal any
kind of blood or spots of blood Belonged
The process is as follows Put few drops
of blood, or the serum of blood, into glass :;
add concentrated sulphuric acid to the
amount of one-third or one-half the quantity
of blood, and stir the whole together with a
glass rod by this means the odoriferous
principle peculiar to the species of animal to
which the blood belonged, is evolved thus,
for instance, the blood of man discharges a
strong odor of the perspiration of man,
which it is impossible to confound with any
other; that of a woman similar odOr but
much weaker; that of sheep the we'll
known smell of greasy wool of pig, the
diSagreeable odor of "a piggery and so on.
Even the blood of a frog has given out the
peculiar smell of marShy reeds, and that of
a carp the peculiar smell of fresh water
fish. Upon trials made to ascertain whether
spots of blood could be distinguished and re-
ferred TO their source, it was found that to a
certain extent pretty sure judgment can be
given even after fifteen days. The spotted
linen is to be cut out. put into watch glass,
and, being moistened with little water,
left for short time at rest, and well soaked
a little sulphuric acid is to added and STIR
red about with glass rod, the peculiar odor
will then be recognized but this experiment
should be performed without delay, for after
a fortnight the odor is scarcely perceptible.

FARMERs.-Adam was farmer. while yet
in Paradise, and after his fall was command
ed to earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow. Job, the honest, and upright. and pa
tient, was farmer, and his endurance pass
ed into a proverb. Socrates was farmer.
and yet welded to his calling the glory Of
his immortal philosophy. st. Luke was a
farmer, and divides with Promelheus the
honor of subjecting the OK for the use of
man. Cincinnatus was a farmer and no
blest Roman of them all. Burns was far
mer, and the muse found him at the plow
and filled his soul with poetry. Washing
ton was farmer, and retired from the high
est earthly station to enjoy the quiet OF rural
life, and presented to the world spectacle
of human greatness. To these may be added
a host of Others who sought peace and repose
in the cultivation of their mother earth the
enthusiastic Lafayette, and the steadfast
Pickering, the scholastic Jefferson. and the
fiery Randolph, all found an Eldorado of
consolation from lifes cares, and troubles,
in the green and verdant lawns that sur
rounded their homesteads.

NO. "a.
Caught in a Trap.-Yes or No.

Caught in a Trap.-Yes or No.
Two Norman peasants were accustomed
to meet every night to play cards. One OF
them, Antoine, was widower, and he had
charming daughter, Sophia. The other
trend was unmarried, and the possessor OF
an easy fortune.
Sophia, accustomed every day to see Phil
llppe, at last became greatly attached to him.
perhaps someW hat attached to his little for
tune. although PHILIPPE was we'll preserved,
Notwithstanding he had already reached
certain age. However, their marriage was
agreed upon but as the day of its celebra-
and when the parties came before the civil
authority who was to tie the knot he eplied
with a strongly accented I" No" wh n asked
whether he would take Sophia to be his wifi.
AS may we'll be supposed, the anger of An
tome was very violent, and Sophia was
greatly distressed, and the consequence was
that the evening card party was broken up.
At the end of some weeks, PHILIPPE met So
phia. and thus addressed her.
" Believe me, my dear child, had no in
tention to insult you, and greatly regret
the breaking up of our friendship, and the
card parties but how can make Pere An
tome forget the insult he thinks have put
upon him? | assure you | reproach myself
with it every day."
" | think" replied Sophia, "that | can
discover means. Go and speak to my fa-
ther, tell him you are willing to marry me
and fix upon an early day for the wedding,
and when we come before the mayor will
IN my turn say No. and we shall be quits"
Charmed with the idea of so cheaply re
covering the means of pursuing his favorite
recreation of cards, PHILIPPE threw himself
at the feet of his old friend asked all sorts
of pardons, and begged that he would suffer
him to lead his daughter before the mayor as
soon as possible.
After some hesitation, the old man show
ed himself generous, and rendered his hand to
his future son-in-law.
On the Saturday following, PHILIPPE, So
phla, and Antoine presented themselves be-
fore the mayor
"PhiIlipe -" said the mayor, " do you
consent to take for your lawful wife Sophia
-, here present?'
yes replied PHILIPPE.
" And you, Sophia -, do you consent to
take for your lawful husband, Phllipe?"
" Yes monsieur" replied the young maid
en-, firmly.
The deceitful bridegroom was fairlycaught.
Sophia was his wife in spite of him. He
made the best of it, and it is said never had
reason to regret the trick that had been play
ed upon him. He passed his days happily,
played cards evenings with his father-in- law,
and lived to be himself the father of happy
family of children.

SULPHUR-This mineral product is the
key which opens tie door to chemical manu-
features. From it we make sulphuric acid,
(oil of vitriol and without suphuric acid
many of the largest factories would cease to
exist By its aid we are enabled to produce
so many substances. that the bare mention
of them would fill the whole paper. Bleach
ing. dyeing. soda making metal refining,
electro-plating, electro telegraphing, &C.. are
primarily indebted to this acid. Many of
the most valued medicines could not be made
without it-such as either, calomel, &C.
Sulphur being the chief ingredient of gun
powder, modern warfare could not 60 on
omfortably without 1t. A people that does
not possess lucifer matches stands beyond
the pale of civilization yet matches can
not be made without sulphur-not because
matches are dipped into melted birthstone
before they are tipped" With the phospho
ric composition which ignites them, but be-
cause this very aterial could not be made
without the indirect use of sulphur. In
England we consume sixty thousand tons of
sulphur annually, which is imported to this
country from the volcanic regions of Sicily.
For political reasons, the King of Naples
has recently prohibited the export of sui phur
to any Of the kingdoms now at war. Reck-
oning the value of sulphur at f5 per ton,
implies loss of f300000-a pretty liberal
-" peace offering" from the king of the two
'Sicilies This loss of sulphur will be very
severely felt for short time in England );
but eventually it will be of great service, as
we have as much birthstone in this country
as commerce requires-a fact that will soon
be made manifest by the demand for it and
when once it is seen that our own resources
are sufficient, the King of Naples must never
expect us to go to his shop any more. 1t
was thus during the last wars that we pre-
vented the French people from eating ia
maica sugar; so they set to and made sugar
from beet-root, and we have lost so much
trade ever since.-[Septimus Piesse.
