AN ECCENTRIC WILL.--Mr. Railing, Of New
Hampshire, was among the victims Of the last
railroad accident between Brighton and London.
His heirs, after having paid him the customary
funeral honors, did what all heirs do in similar
cases, opened the will of the deceased, to ascer-
tain what share each was to have in his posthu-
nous liberaties. As he had never given PEN
ny to either of his relatives during his lifetime,
they expected to be the richer, now that he was
no more. One may imagine the surprise caus-
ed by the first line of the will
"This is my testament. | give and bequeath
all my goods, present or future, movable or
mmoveable, in England or on the Continent, to
that railroad company on whose road have had
the happiness to meet with death, that blessed
delverance from my terrestrial prison."
Further on the testator gives his reasons for
his bequest. The idea had taken firm possess
ion of his mind that he was destined to die vi
oent death, and the most desirable in his view
was that caused by the explosion of locomo-
tive He travelled, therefore, constantly on the
rail roads, in England, Belgium and France
There was not station where he was not
known. All the conductors were familiar with
his peculiar costume. He had narrowly escap-
ed death several times. Once he was shut up
in car under water, another time he was in the
next car TO the one that was shattered, and he
described with the greatest enthusiasm those
terrible accidents, when he saw death so near
without being able to obtain it. Disappointed
in Europe he went to the United States. He
made frequent excursions on the Ohio, the Mis-
sssippi, the Ontario, the Niagara, but notwith.
standing their frequent explosions, he returned
with a whole skin. He was destined to be
crushed under car of the mother country. II
is said that the relatives will attempt to break
the will on the ground of insanity, but it is
probable that the railroad will win the suit in
spite of the proverb that the murderer never In
herits from his victim. va

DANCING WOMEN.

81 believe woman would do great deal
for Dance" said DR.. Growing, "they are i'm
mensely fond of saltatory motion. remember
once in my life used to flirt with one who was
great favorite in provincial town where liv-
ed, and confided to me she had no stockings to
appear in, and without them her presence at the
ball was out Of the question"
"rhat was hint for you to buy the stockings"
said Dick. i ea ~
"No, you're out" said Growing. "She knew
that was as poor as herself; but though she
could not rely on my purse, she had every con-
fidence in my taste and judgment, and consulted
me on plan she formed for going to the ball
in the proper twg. Now what do you think it
was!" 'aae asa
"To 60 in cotton, suppose" returned Dick.
"'Out again, sir--you'd never guess it; and
only woman could have hit upon the expedient.
1t was the fashion those days for ladies' in full
dress to wear pink stockings, and she proposed
painting her legs"
"Painting her legs !" they all exclaimed.
"Fact, sir" said the Doctor, "and she relied
upon me for telling her if the cheat was success
full"
Sand was it?" asked Durfy
I" Don't be in hurry, Tom. complied on
one condition, namely, that should be the paint
er."
"Oh, you old rascal" said Dick
GA capital bargain" said Durfy.
" But not a safe covenant" added the attor-
ney.
Don't interrupt me, gentlemen" said the
Doctor. Z" ] got some rose pink, accordingly, and
| defy all the hosiers in Nottingham to make a
tighter fit than did on little Jenny; and pref
tier pair of stockings never saw.

"She did"
"And the trick succeeded" inquired Durfy.

ladies asked her to recommend her dyer TO
them. So, you see what a woman will do to
60 to n dance. Poor little Jenny! she was a
merry minx-by the by, she boxed my ears that
night for joke made about the stockings
Jenny said l. for fear your stockings should
fall down when you are dancing, hadn't yo,l

INFLUENCE OF WoMEN.-Senator Houston
was once asked, at large party given to Mr..
Speaker Winthrop, why he did not attend the
usual places of amusement, as he had been ac-
customed to. His reply was this-let it be re-
membered by the mothers and daughters of
America
81 make it point" said .he Hon. Senator,
never to visit place where my wife if she were
with me, would be unwilling to CO. know it
would give her pain, as Christian, to attend
such places, and will not 60 myself where
cannot take her."
A member Of Congress present alluded to his
own wife, and added that there was mutual
understanding between him and her, that each
should follow the bent of their own inclinatons
in such matters.
"That may do for you" responded Mr.. Hous-
ton, but with me it is different from what it is
with most men. My wife has been the making
of me- She took me when was the victim of
slavsh appetites; she had redeemed and regen-
Grated me, and will not do that in her absence
which know would give her pain if she were
present" Mr.. Houston is a member of Bap-
tist church and native of Alabama.

DoEsTIcKs--We clip the following from the
New York Erening Post. As the Advertiser
is rather tart in its replies to the numerous
inquiries as 10 who the gentleman in question
is, we submit the following to its consdera-
ton:
"Doesticks is modest young clerk in this
city, whose life, thus far, has only spanned some
twenty-three years, and he is disincined, at
present, to part with his anonymous security.
He has nothing to offer the publishers at pres
ent and when he has, if ever, he thinks it will
be time enough to reveal his whereabouts and
whatabouts. He is not looking to literature as
a profession, sees no literary merit in what he
has done, writes to the Advertiser TO oblige a
younger brother who is connected with that jour-
nal, and for no other object. He was one of the
students of the Michigan University, who were
expelled some years ago under the decree issu-
ed against secret societies in that institution
His father is lawyer of some rank at Ann Ar
Dor, Mich"
What say you, friend Toms! Our friend,
Drumsticks" will make his debut in few days.

CURING Pork AND HAMs.-Sometime since
we had the pleasure of dining with Leonard
House, Esq, of Housewife, Lewis Co. N. Y, and
could not but observe the superior quality of
the pork and ham-juicy, tender and fine flavor
ed. They were cured as follows For pork:
made brine enough to cover the pork, as strong
as possible. For every layer of pork, put lay
er of ground black pepper, say about one pound
to a barrel. Put in three or four ounces Of
saltpetre; this is not enough to make it taste,
and yet it is sufficient to keep the lean from get
ting hard. When used the second time, don't
scad the brine This is very important. Mr..
House, thinks that brine should never be boil
ed. f..l-...
For hams: to each 100 lbs. of ham take nine
pounds of salt, five ounces of saltpetre, one
quart of molasses, a large spoonful of salaratus,
and four ounces of ground black pepper. Let
the hams remain in the brine from four to six
weeks Smoke them about fortnight; then
pack them away in dry ashes. Care should be
taken to prevent the pork from freezing or at
least be careful that the frost is all out when it
is put in the brine More hams are probably
lost from neglect of this, than any other cause.
Many imagine that because the hams have been
in the salt the required time they must necessa-
rily be cured, forgetting that if they are frozen
the salt cannot penetrate them.
