Uses OF THE TELEGRAPH. The electric
telegraph is becoming more and more useful
A peasant received lately, by mail, letter
from his son Joseph, a Zouave, before Sevas-
topol. The young man mentioned the fact
that his legs were yet whole, but that his shoes
were the worse for wear. The affectionate
father having purchased pair of nine-and-a-
halls, was perplexed as 10 the means of for
warding them. At last he thought of the tel
egraph the line to MarseiIles ran through his
village. He put the address on one of the
soles and slung the shoes over the wire. A
pedler passing by, struck by the solidity of
their workmanship, appropriated them, plac-
ing his used up trampers in their place. The
next morning the old daddy returned to the
spot 10 see if the telegraph had executed his
commission. He saw the substitution which
had been effected. Il VOW he exclaimed, 'f

CALLING FOR HELP When Dick Alma
first crossed into York State from the Canada
side, he took lodgings at an inn in Canandaigua
A waiting maid sat at the table with him, and
Dick spoke of her as the servant, to the no
small scandal of mine host, who told him that
in his house servants were called help. Very
well. Next morning the whole house was
alarmed by loud shouting from Dick, of
Help help water help! In an instant,
every person equal TO the task rushed into
Dicks room with pail of water.

ALUMINIUM, THE NEW METAL FROM CLAY
OR BRicK.-A large bar of this new metal, pre-
sented by the Emperor of the French, is now
on exhibition at the Polytechnic Institution,
London. This rare gift evokes the admiration
of all who see it, not only on account ofthe e.
ternal silvery appearance, but also from lis ex-
treme lightness, toughness, malleability and
durability, difficult fusbility or absolute lndiff-
erence TO that tarnisher or destroyer OF metals,
oxygen, stern resistance to the action OF
water, and chemical contempt for that hane
of large cities, sulphurated hydrogen. Alu-
minium, it is reasonable TO expect, will form all
our culinary vessels; no more copper or brass
pans to poison our acid sauces, pickles, cond-
ments and confectionery London Paper.

RrcE BREAD. One and a half pounds of
rice put in gallon of water, and stirred till it
becomes quite soft, then mix-while warm
with fourteen pounds of flour, and at the same
time add teaspoonful of salt, and the usual
quantity of yeast. Let it stand to rise, then
make it into loaves, and bake it the usual
way. We have found the above quantity of
-four and rice to make us twenty-eight pounds
Of excellent bread, and, Independent Of the great
saving, we like it better than bread baked in
the usual way.-Country Gentleman.

;no,y displayed his handsome figure for several
Jays 10 the principal promenades of the city,
His business concluded he returned to his house
in Cleveland, where he arrived late at night,
and going straghtway TO his house, was adj
mitted in the dark by his anxious Spouse
Going to his apartment, he undressed himself
and without the fo.maIity of striking light,
got into be6, and in short time was closely
folded in the arms of his affectionate wife and
! Morpheus. The morning beams were dancing
| in diamond splen,lor upon the floor of the bed
chamber, when he was awakened by terrific
scream. and starting up he discovered his bet
| ter half rushing very much terrified from the
bedroom. Quick as thought he sprang from
the bed and followed her, visions of madness
foated through his Imagination. At length
she reached the parlor, where sinking upon
sofa, she tainted outright. By dint of sal vo-
laniile and other restoratves she was shortly
revived, when gazing upon her husband, who
was mournfullv bending over her, she exclaim-
ed that she was ruined, dishonored and un-
done.
Be calm dearest said he soothingly.
At the sound of the voice she started and
gave one piercing look, and as she recognized
the well known features, burst into tears and
sprung into his arms. 1t appears that upon
waking, instead of the familiar frosty pow of
her liege lord, she discovered a redundant guam
tity of dark brown hair and whiskers. This
caused her alarm and flight from the marital
couch. The lady, who is many years the ju-
nior, is perfectly charmed with the alteration,
and feels quite proud of her old man. Thus
the adventure turned out happily at last, had it
been otherwise, Mr.. p might have had
load upon his conscience through his anxiety
in metmorphosing old men into young ones.

A frightened Wife-the Effects of Hair

The Cincinnati Enquirer relates funny
piece of hair dyeing business, in which the
principal participant was Clevelander.
A few weeks since a Benedict, whose sill
very hair proclaimed him on the wrong side of
fifty, came TO Cincinnati. Being man of taste
as well as of means, he made the - House

he visited the magnificent saloon of our friend

toner's hair aud whskers wore very wintrY
appearance, suggested the proprieiy Of his get

dlcted to vanity at first objected, but A -

its frosty character, and the> gentleman finally
resigned his cranium to the hands of ~
