How George" Became a Teetotaler.

A short time since, young man living in
Ogdensburgh, N. Y, whose name we shall call
George, took to drinking rather more than
usual and some of his friends endeavored to
cure him. One day, when he was in rather a
loose condition, they got him in a room, and
commenced conversing about deiirium tremens,
directing all their remarks to him, and telling
him what fearful objects, such as snakes and
rats, were always seen by the victims of this
horrible disease. When the conversation had
waxed high on this theme, one of the number
stepped out or the room, and from trap which
was at hand let a large rat into the ROOM None
of his friends appeared to see it, but the young
man who was to be the victim seized II chair,
and hurled it at the rat, completely using up
the piece of furniture in the operation. An
other chair shared the same fate, when his
friends seized him, and with terror depicted in
their faces, demanded to know what was the
matter.
"Why don't you soc that cursed rat? -
said he, pointing to the animal, which, after
the manner of rats, was making its way around
the room, close to the walls.
They all saw it, but all replied that they
did mt see it" there ,cas no rat. "
.s But there is " said he, as another chai I
went to pieces in an Intellectual attempt to crush
the obnoxious vermin.
At this moment they again seized him, and
after a terrific scufle, threw him down on the
floor, and with terror in their faces screamed,
Charley run for the doctor" "
Charley started for the door, when George de-
sired to be informed " what was up.''
"Up said they, "why, you've got the
delirum tremens "
Charley opened the door to go out, when
George raised himself on his elbow and said
g Charley where are you going?"
Going said Charley" going for doc
tor"
"Going for doctor " rejoined George; fol-
what ?"
"For what" repeated Charley why
you We got the delirium tremens -
The delirium tremens-have L? repeated
George. How do you know I've got the de-
lrium tremens?"
g Easy enough" says Charley; you've
commenced seeing rats"
Seeing rats F" said George. in sort Of
musing way " seeing rats? Think you must
be mistaken, Charley
Mistaken said Charley.
"Yes, mistaken" rejoined George. II ain'l
the mani haven't seen no rats ~
The boys let George up after that, and from
that day to this he hasn't touched glass OF Ii
quor, and " HASN'T seen no rdts'-not the first
rat.

/ The PEsrILENE IN PORTUGAL. In letter re-
ceived from Lisbon. dated Nov. I, there is the
/ following interesting account of recent ep-
idemc there, and the conduct of the King,
Pedro H., in the distressing circumstances
" On the young Kings birthday, September
l6, first broke out II pestilence which has since
stricken thousands of the inhabitants. Some
call it yellow fever, some typhus it is prob
ably mixture of the two and has been very
fatal. There is something very insidious in its
nature-it advances to the various quarters OF
the town so slowly and surely, and carries OF
it's victim so swiftly. The portuguese are
timid nation, and over hundred thousand per-
sons have left the city. Cintra and the adja-
cent villages are full to overaowiog, and there
is scarcely person of society in town Its
said to go into the city, it is so silent and descr-
ted the shops are closed, business is suspen-
ded, and one meets only funerals and htters
carrying the sick to the hospitals
The young King has behaved most nobly.
he had gone to his country places for month,
but upon hearing of the appearance OF the ie-
ver he Immediately returned, and since then
has done all that he could. The physicians
pronounce the disease contagious, but ne has
never hesitated in the path of duty, though.
implored by his old counselors, with tears IN
their eyes not to risk his life. He visits the
hospitals at all hours, and cheers the sick and
dying with kind words and his own sweet
smile. 1t is very touching to see him going
about, so young in years, with all the care and
anxiety of father for his people. One of
his aunts said to portuguese lady at our ac-
quaintance, poor boy he is heart-broken
he goes to his room, and l believe it is to weep.
Eor Portugal, such cypher among the ma
tons, to have yielded such flower OF majesty
is indeed wonder and portent.

MINIATURE Toy BALLOONS Ns-During the recent
holidays, small balloons made of goldbeater' 8
parchment, colored red, and filled with hydro
gen gas, have been the delightful gift toys OF
the season to the inhntile world in Paris. Each
is made with string attached to it, by which
it is held in the hands of child, and when it
escapes up it mounts, and sails along the ceiling
of the nursery or parlor, wonder to the
youngsters.
Such toys might be successfully introduced
into our cities. The first of them made in Pa
ris was by poor mechanic as a desperate effort
to raise few francs they took with the pub
lie, and it is asserted that he>aealised 800 ,0OO
francs profit, from tho great number he made
to fill the orders of the toy dealers.

Russian Storms.

A traveller in Russia says that the storms
OF that country are divided into three classes,
the first and mildest kind is called the Mattel,
the second, more severe, Samjots, and the third
which is absolutely terrific, the Winga. In =
conversation between himself and a priest the
latter is thus described
What then, cried I, is the Winga?"
" A prelude to the last day answered the
priest. fortunately, unmistable indications
announce its coming for some days beforehand,
Then nobody sets out upon journey, not even
to the next village, though it bs but a verst or
two cif. Precautions are taken for the safety
OF the house, by protecting it, on the north
side with heavy stones, and by propping it up,
as well as barns and stables, on the south side.
The tabanen (troops of wild horses) scamper in
all haste to the nearest forest droves of cattle
and focks Of sheep seek shelter wherever it is to
be found, Whatever the storm oyertakes upon
the open plain, man or beast. caravans drawn
by oxen, or caravans drawn by horses, is lost
without chance of rescue.
F" An icy shower of snow is the forerunnsr of
terrible blast; it falls so thick, and drives SO
horizontally through the air, that to Withstand
it is impossible, whilst it avails little to suffer
ones self to be driven before it. For if one es-
capes for while this prelude to the hurricane,
he is infallibly overtaken by the formidable
blasts and circling whirlwinds which succeed it,
ahd which gather up from the earth, like chat
from the threshing floor, the objects exposed to
their violence, and hur them to and fro in the
air. And yet the rage of the unfettered ele
ment is not here at its height; for when the
storm seems to have exhausted its fury in the
manner | have described-often raging thus
during period Of several days-then first be.
gins the real tempest, blast which nothing can
resist. 1t uproo.s whole forests, tosses the LOT
test fir trees into the air like blades of straw
and often conveys them high above the earth
whole versts away. 1t levels stables and barns
unroofs houses, and throws down church tow
ers, 50 that the district 1t has visited looks
after its destructive passage and for distances Of
several days journey, like a land ravaged by
fire and sword. On all sides are seen herds o.
dead cattle, trees uprooted, villages overshrown
In exposed situations, this wind has been known
to tear up isolated stables, to transport through
the air their fragments and the cattle they con
tanned and far, far from the spot, to hurl these
down shattered upon fields and roofs With
varying fury the monster RACES few days,
leaving behind him, on his departure, death, de
struction and lamentations. Happily he come,
but seldom; his visits are not for every genera
ton; but when he does come, all that his icy
breath touches is destined to annihilation.
That is the Russian Wingo"'

LARGEST DIAMOND IN THE WoRLp.-The
Wheeling (Va.) Times says: Mr.. G. P. Mat
thews, of this State, claims to have the largest
diamond in the world. 1t is about an inch and
a half in diameter, and nearly an inch in thick
ness. 1t is surprisingly brilliant, particularly
by gas light. Its estimated valuh is two mill
ions of dollars. 1t was found by the father Of
the present possessor in the gold mines of Buck
ingham County, Va, about seventy years since
1t has remained in the rough state ever since,
until few weeks ago, when Mr. NJ. being sat
