The Red River Raft.

The last Congress appropriated one hundred
thousand dollars for the purpose of freeing
Red River of the immense raft which has des-
troyed its usefulness for the last fifty years
Proposals for carrying out the intentions of
congress are in course of publication by the
Washington papers. The Red River Raft,
says the NY. Dutchmah, is aneAmerican in
stitution--a Niagara of white oak timber
such IS the whole world might be challenged
for comparison. How long the raft has ex-
listed no one knows-probably for centuries

ne rait Is lO2 miles long, the whole made
up OF logs, trees and 1oor-wood in all imaoIu-
able shapes and conditions. There is timber
in roots, timber In branches, timber in its head
timber on its side, and on its kpees-ti,obar

said that the raft is one hundred miles long
1t is also in places mile wide, while its
depth fluctuates from five to fifteen feet
People who have given the subject an atteIl-
tive examination, estimate that there is fuel
enough in the Red river raft to keep the whole
state Of New York in frewood for century.
For twenty years congress has been endeayor-
ing to remove this monstrous obstruction but
with very little success. Since 1880. dozen
dredging machines and score of tug-boats.

From what has been done, we have come to
the conclusion that very little will ever be done.

Vaccination.

Persons often suppose themselves protected
against The small pox, who, having had the
COW Pox imperfectly, are not safe. The true
characteristics Of the true kinesPox, or Cow
pox, ought to be universally understood.
DIR. Dickson, editor of the Lancet, recently
published his views on the subject Of yaccina-.
iiou as preventive Of small pox. lie gave
description Of the, genuine vaccine vesiele as
fellows:
" On the seventh or eighth day from the inser-
lion Of the lymph or matter, as it is absurdly
called, there is brown centre, Of an oval
shape, surrounded BY little circle Of pearl
colorcd dots, or vesicles, containing the lymph,
and outside of this rose-coored bush fading
away gradually in the skin of the ARM fr.
The COW pox' first discovered by Jenner,
originated from small pox, communicated to the
cows by the fingers Of filthy milkmaids,
or men afflicted with rariola or small pox the
vescle or sore thus resulting, characterized as
above described is the vaccine vesicle, from
ttced, COW; lis lymph, when inserted into
the human being, produces, like the inoculated
bud or graft fruit, its like and nothing else, if
ii takes in proper manner; if il produce
sore Of any other appearance, snch sore is not
genuine; neither lis scab nor the lymph is re-
liable; il must be taken from the first or infan-
Tile vaccination. hrH antsnE 1krnfd
Vaccine lymph is the virus OF lymph Of
small pox, elaborated or changed By the cows
system; although it differs entirely from the
eruption Of small pox, it is unquestionably ca
pable Of preventing that disease for number
of years. 1t receives another element (when,
we do not know from the cows system, that
makes il protective, although il cannot repro
dnce the small pox in the person vaccinaied
that is 10 say, it cannot go backwards and pro-
duce the appearance of the sore from which it
originated in the human being. The inference
and cautions to be drawn from all this are
plain. Whit we call varioloid is mild small
Pox; ii is capable of injecting persons who are
liable, with the worst kind of small pox they
get, however, just as bad variety as their sys-
TENS will take; if entirely unprotected by the
vaccination being all run out, very bad small

How to ruin a Pieman.

Sometime since ESQ runs the current narra-
iive,) the owner of thriving mutton-pe con-
cern, which, after much difficulty he had sue
ceeded in establishing with borrowed capital,
died before he had well extrcated himself from
the responsibilities Of debt
The widow carried on the business after his
decease, and throve so well that Specializing
baker on the opposite side of the way, made
her the offer of his hand. The lady refused,
and the enraged sutton, determined on revenge,
Immediately converted his baking into an OPP
position pie-shop, and, acting on the principle
universal among London bakers, of doing
business for the first month or two at loss,
made his pies twice as big as he could honest
ly afford to make them. The consequence
was, that the widow lost her custom, and was
fastening fast to ruin, when friend of her
late husband, who was also a small creditor.
paid her visit. She detailed her grievance
to him, and lamented her lost trade and fear
ful prospects.
Ho, no. said her friend, that ere's the
move, is it Never you mind, my dear fl
don't get your trade again, there amt no
snakes, mark me-that's all = So saying he
took his leave.
About eight o'clock the same evening, when
the bakers new pie-shop was clammed 70
overlooking, and the principal was below, SUI
perintending the production Of new batch, in
walks the widows friend in the costume of a
kennel-raker, and elbowing his way to the
counter, dabs down upon II a brace Of huge
dead cats, vOciferating at the same time TO the
astonshed damse in attendance
Tell your master, my dear, as how them
two makes six-and-thirty this week, and say
I'll bring t'other four tomorrow afternoon.
With that he staggered out and went his
way.
So powerful was the prejudice against cat
mutton among the population of that neighbor-
hood, that the shop was clear in an instant,
and the floor was covered with hastily aban-
doned specimens of every variety of segments
Of circle. The spirit shop at the corner OF
the street experienced an unusually large de-
mand for goes of brandy, and interjectional
CALCULATIONS, not purely grammatical, were
not merely audible, but visible too, in the dis
trict.
1t is averrcd that the ingenious expedient
of the widows friend, founded as it was upon
profound knowledge of human prejudices,
had the desired effect of restoring the 'bal-
ance of trade The widow recovered her
brown as if he had been shut up in his own
oven; and the friend who had brought about
this measure Of justice received the hand of
the lady as a reward for his Interference
CurioSities Of London Life.

PaDier Mache. sI

Papier Mache is becoming one of our most
important articles of manufacture. In every
furniture, jewellers or fency store, whichever
way we turn, we behold rich and beautiful
articles Of furniture and bi;outerie constructed
Of papier mache, resplendent in all the richness
of pearl and gold, and rejoicing in the posses
sion of hues which rival The rainbow in mag
niicence. But the use of papier mache is nut
confined entirely TO ornamental or indoor pur-
poses. 1t is claimed as valuable auxiliary TO
the architect. In'the town of Bergen, in Prus-
STA, is an elegant church, capable of holding
1000 persons, constructed entirely -stataes and
