Mr. Jones thanked his friend with sus-

shortly after took his leave. The very next

filling the Drown jug and empty box, he
brought home new auger, ami proud and
happy man was he to be at work with one
of his opn tools. Time passed away, ana
he soon found himself the owner of quite a
little lot o. implements. This thing opera
ted in many ways for good. Now that he
had the. ability to fix up his buildings with
out borrowing tools, he began to take GER
tain pride in doing it. He reset his windows,
rooted his bee-house, built new pig pens,
tightened his barn, and in rainy weather
was never without pleasant and profitable
employment. His cows do not break through
the barn floor now, and they give as much
milk, his bees make as much money, his
trees yield as good apples as his neighbor
Johnson's do, and all this is because he
stopped his grog and tobacco expenditure,
bought his tDols, and left off depending up
on his neighbors, and so he is now happy,
thriving and contented farmer.

Gen. Urquiza, the man of PARAGUAY

A letter in TIE New York Times, giving

describes Gen. Urquiza as now Sc years old
His profile is much like that of Mr.. Web

and the forehead, though less massive, does
not lessen the resemblance. His estancia
a, San Jose, embraces 27U square miles
He has 300 600 head of cattle, 20. 900 hor-
ses, 80 900 Alerino sheep, and 900 900 mix.
ed breeds. He sold, last year, $4,000 hides
OF his own produce. As for his clip of wool
the writer could form no estimate He is
interested in every useful and profitable ell
,erprise in the confederation, and mentioned
that, in the town OF Rasario alone, he had
S35e,Oo engaged in special partnerships.
He gives lift to the industrious and aspi-
ring, and reaches out his hand to save the
honest but unfortunate. Thus, there was a
company who ran line of American stages
in the confederation, which ramified to its
remotest towns, such as Tuonman and Salta.
The crisis caught them, and stages should
be extended over the Pampas. What will
carry you through!' Not less than one hun

Useful Receipts.

Erysipelas, a disease often coming with
out premonition, and ending fatally within
three or four days, 10 sometimes promptly
cured by applying poutice of raw cram
berries, pounded and placed on the part over
night.
Insects bites, and even those of a rattle
snake, have passed harmless by stirring
enough of common salt in the yoke of o
good egg to make it sufficiently thin for q
plaster, to be kept on the bitten parts.
Costive bowels have an agreeable remedy
in the free use of tomatoes at meals-theIr
seed acting the way Of seeds of white mus
turd or figs, by stimulating the coats of the
bowels over which they pass in their whole
state, TO increased action. A remedy of
equal efficiency, in the same direction, is
cracked wheat; that is, common white wheat
grains, broken in two or three pieces, and
then boiled till 1t is as soft as rice, and eaten
mainly at two meals of the day, with batter
or mOlasses.
Common sweet cider, boiled down to one
half, makes a most excellent syrup for
coughs and colds for children; it is pleasant
to the taste, and will keep throughout the
year in cold cellar.
In recovering from an illness, the system
has craving for some pleasant acid drink.
This is found in cider which is placed on
the fire as soon as made, and allowed to come
to boil, then cooled, put in CASKS, and kept
in cool cellar. Treated thus, il remains
for many months as good as the day it was
made.
We once saved the life of an infant who
had been inadvertently drugged with iaud-

from which there was no awakening, by
giving it strong coffee, cleared with the
white of an egg. a teaspoonful every five
minutes, till it ceased to seem drowsy.-

A French Verdict of Damages.
A FIench correspondent of The Bost'

FIench correspondent OF The Boston
Traveller relates the following:
Among the coarse women of the Central
Markets, was person known as Ia mere
Michel. She was absolutely unlettered ,
being able neither to read or write She
kept no sbook4': IN accountant costs money.
She came to paris in 1882, without sou in
her pocket or shoes 10 her feet, and her first
place was as servant to market woman
Scanty as her wages were, she saved some
thing out OF them, and in the course of time
opened market stall OF her own, for the
sale OF green groceries. She rapidly extend
ed her trade, and at the time of her death
she had for years annually purchased $780,
900 worth Of fruit and forced vegetables
from market gardeners in the neighborhood
of Paris. and received even larger values of
green groceries from the southern provinces.
She sold every year $50 900 worth of fruit
and forced vegetables to distillers, confec-
TONERS, restaurateurs, ETC., and as large a
sum again to private families, and she clear
ed every year S. 900. She had amassed a
fortune of $4,000, which she had invested
in real estate, government securities, and
mortgages, and whilst forming this capital,
she gave her son the best education that she
could procure for him in Paris, regretting
most bitrerly, she said, her own neglected
education, which had proved so great an
impediment to her progress in life. She was
cut off untmelv by the accident on the St.
German Railway last year. Her family
claimed $4,000 damages from the Co.
They argued she was only fifty-two years
old-would probably have carried on her
business eight years longer--would proba
bly, have made $40 900, besides selling her
business and stand for a large sum of money.
The Court allowed the family $4,000.

tT3he Savannah Neios has report of an
exceedingly large and attentive meeting in
that city to hear an address on the neces-
sity for the revival of the African slave
trade. At the close three resolutions were
unanimously adopted, in which it is assert
ed to BE the duty of the Southern people 10
import as many slaves direct from Africa as
convenient and to be the opinion of the
meeting that 'lhs laws of the General Gov
ernment prohibiting the importation OF slave
from Africa are al! unconstitutional and void

most cherished institutions of the South
and that they ought to be repealed by imme-
diate legislation
