Cooling Rooms.

The warm weather will shortly be here,
and every one will be seeking the refreshing
influence of cool and shady place, where
unto they can retreat from the blazing sun /;
SO we will give our readers a few hints COIL
corning the cooling of their houses. The
first necessity is a thorough draft. This can
always be obtained by opening every door
and window in the basement, the top of ev-
cry window above, and by throwing each
door wide open; but above all, be sure that
the trap door in the roof is open, and there
is plenty of air room from it down the stairs
so that whichever be the direction of the
wind, there will be at least one ascending cur
rent of air in the house. Another requisite
is shade. Our common slat shutters answer
we'll for the windows, but the most cheap
and convenient shelter for the roof is to Cow
er it thickly with straw, dried reeds, or rush.
es. These will resist the influence of the
uoonday sun, and keep the garret almost as
cool as the basement. One of the mos
simple methods, and at the same time cheap
est means OF artificially lowering the tenn
perature of a room is to wet cloth of anJ
size, the larger the better, and suspend it il
the place you want cooling; let the room
be well ventilated, and the tcmpratur evil

The se.dv Lit,,e ssan a. I.,ns~orth's


Those who have ever seen the grest NIL
lionaire of Cincinnati, or visited his sPien'
did premises in the city, can fdiiy appreciate
the following from the Commercial:
We were told yesterday pleasant lil:le
incident illustrative of peculiarity of one
Of our fellow citizens, which perhaps, de-
serves to be related. A young married cou-
pie from Kentucky, on visit to the city,
having day to spend in sightseeing, were
directed by the keeper OF the Spencer House
to the garden Of Mr.. Longworth, as worthy
of call, aud determined to ask permission
to nuke tour of the premises. On pas
sing through the gate in front of the man.
sion OF the proprietor, they were met by
seedy looking little individual, somewhat ad-
vanced in years. who, from his appearance
they supposed to belong to the establish
ment, of whom they inquired if permission
to make the proposed tour would be accorded.
The little man not only assured them that
they were at liberty to proceed, but volun-
teered to accompany them, which he did,
showing them through the grounds apd con-
servatories, pointing out in tbs politest man
ner, every object of interest or curiosity. -
Having again arrived at the gate, and being
about to leave, the visitor did not feel at lib
erty to depart wlthou, giving some evidence
of his appreciation OF the politeness of his
guide, SO drawing from his pocket "quar-
ter" he proceeded to tender the constitution
al currency in a manner and form as is usu-
al in such cases; and was as astonished to
find it refused. After some considerable
urgency, the other party, in order to avoid
further importantly, was constrained to in
| form the visitor that he was no other than
| the proprietor of the extensive establishment
| the yeritable Nicholas himself: whereupor
the young gentleman was not little abash.
ed and confused, and proceeded to utter q
multiplicity of apologies. The story, how
ever, ends handsomely. Mr. Longworth in
vites the other party into the house, shows
them the statuary and pictures, talks him on
Of his embarra ssment, gives him taste o
Catawba, and sends him away at peace witt
himself and the rest of mankind, and enthu
siastic in his praise of tho seedy little gen
tleman who took him in SO beautifully.
