AN AMERICAN "TossING UP" WITH
THE GRAND DUKE CoNsTANTNE.-
Baynard Taylor relates the following
anecdote in his last letter
"Last Summer, an American who was
on a visit to St. Petersburgh, happening
to be walking in one OF the narrow streets
of that capital one muddy day, when he
suddenly met the Grand Duke Constan-
tine. The sidewalk was not wide enough
for two persons to pass, and the street
was deep with filth. Both stopped, and
a moments awkward paused ensued, Sud
denly the American, taking a silver rou-
bic from his pocket, shook it in his closed
hands, and cried out "Crown or tail ?
"Crown !" guessed the Grand Duke
'Your highness has won, said the Ameri
can, looking at the rouble and stepping
into the mud. His cuteness in saving his
dignity, while he acknowledged tkt
Grand Dukes, brought him aninvitatior
the next day to dine with the latter"

LUCK MIGHTIER THAN CALCULATION.
Ten men are startled by their luck,
while one is rewarded with prosperity by
his calculations. Almost all the results
Of speculations are matters of chance,
rather than of financial skill, as so many
circumstances contribute to defeat men in
their business operations. The political
economists all maintain that he who dis
tributes money most rapidly blesses the
community. the most, and, therefore, lthe
lotteries which prove luck to be superior
to calculation are TO be respected, par
ticularly when they are conducted by esti-
mable citizens, like Swan & Co., of At
lanta, Georgia. These gentlemen draw,
under the sanction Of the State authori-
ties, lottery every Saturday, in which
the prizes range from twenty dollars IL
fifty thousand. Every ten tickets is sure
to win one prize at least, so that chance:
are excellent. BY RENTING ten, five, o.
two dollars and half to their address, thu
ticket will be secured and sent prompt,
by mail. The prizes are always pait
with equal pronptitude.

To KEEP BUTTER HARD AND Cool.
"A writer in the Scientific american
recommends to the ladies very simple
arrangement for keeping butter nice
and cool in the hottest weather. Pro
cure large new flower pot of sufficient
size to cover the butter plate, and also
large saucer large enough for the flower
pot to rest in upside down place trivet
or meat stand (such as is sent to the oven
when a joint is baked) in the saucer,
and put on the trivet this plate of butter;
now fill the saucer with water, and turn
the flower pot over the butter, so that its
edge will be below the water. The hole
in the flower pot must be filed with a
cork the butter will then be in what we
may call an alright chamber. Let the
whole of the outside of the flower pot be
then thoroughly drenched with water,
and place it in as cool a place as you can.
If this be done over night, the butter
will be as firm as a rock, at breakfast
time or, if placed there in the morning
the butter will be quite hard for use al
tea hour. The reason of this is, that
when water evaporates it produces cold
the porous pot draws up the water, which
in warm weather quickly evaporates
from the sides, and thus cools It; and a:
no warm air can now get at the butter
it becomes firm and cool in the hotties
day.
