gzS- The eght-children-a atone birth story,
published in the New York Tribune, not long
ago, is now pronounced oy that paper
stupid hoax. The Tribune says:
The Postmaster of Warren, Ohio, writes at
the request of Mr.. Timothy Bradley, of
Johnston, Ohio, to say that the story Of our
correspondent, announcing that Mrs. B. was
the happy mother of eight children at birth,
is malicious hoax, and adds: "Mr. and
Mrs. Bradley are both respectable persons of
respectable families have been married
about six years, and have never had any
children"
Ga5- competent authority says that those
little black. headed erections of ly mph in the
pores of the skin upon the face, which are yal-
carly known as flesh worms" and which are
so troublesome to many people, may be got rid
OF, and prevented from returning, by washing
with tepid water, by proper friction with a
towel, and by the application of little cold
cream. The longer these little corks are per-
mitted to remain in the skin, the more firmly
they become fixed and after time, when
they lose their moisture, they are converted
into little bOny spines, as dense as bristles,
and having much of that character.
CUCUMBER KETcHuP.-Take three dozen of
full grown cucumbers and eight white onions.
Peel the onions and cucumbers, and then
chop them as fine as possible. Sprinkle on
three quarters of q pint of fine table salt; put
the whole in seive and let it drain twelve
hours. Then take teacupfull of mustard
seed, half teacupfull Of ground black
pepper, and mix them we'll with the cucum-
bers and onions. Put the whole into stone
jar, with the strongest vinegar close it up
tightly for three days, and it is fit for use.
1t will keep for years.-Harrisb,uo Union.
PROPORTION OF CLEKGyMEN To POPULATION.

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF TURTLE.-The
Middleboro' (Mass.) Gazette gives the par
ticulars of painful death of boy in
Plympton, in consequence of bite on the
finger from turtle. The symptoms were
the same as hydrophobia. Not long after
the bite the lad became feverish, and after
the finger had been lanced black spots APP
peared on the other hand, and paroxysms
rollowed, IN which the sulIerer would snap
and bite at whatever came in his way, after
the manner of turtle.
A MErEoR.--The people in and round about
Troy, N. T., were startled on Thursday morn
ing last, about seven o'clock, by terrific de.
,tonation, which seemed to come from the sky,
though perfectly clear, and which was accom-
panied by trembling of the earth. The wise
men OF that locality are unable to account for
theextraordinary phenomenon in any other way
than that twas slight touch of an earthquake.
1t may be proper to add that the editor Of the
Oswego Palladium, of meteoric notoriety, has
nothing to do with the affair.
The FrLLIBUsTERs.-We have satisfied our
self that the rumors of q current effort to or
ganize gang of fllibusters for another raid on
Nicaragua, is wholly untrue, and that it has
Its origin simply in the desire of steamship
parties to prevent, by hook or by crook, the
proposed speedy reopening of the Nicaragua
route under the Van Dyke-Wallace contract
with Nicaragua, and the contract recently made
by the Postofice Department with Mr.. johnson.
The object of starting the story is to alarm the
Nicaraguan Government to the extent of pro-
curing action on its part, calculated to prevent
American passengers from crossing their
1sthmus.- Washington Star.
Is NAPoLEoS's STAR ON THE WANE?-Our
Paris correspondent states that many men in
Europe are OF opinion that Louis Napoleon has
now reached the zenith of his good luck, and
that his fall will be as rapid as his rise. Such
suggestion was made here soon after the
leon does not appear to have any very warm
friends among the rulers of Europe. Even
Russia, usually spoken of as his close ally, has
according to late advices, assured Prussia of
her friendly disposition in any future European
political compications-Boston TareUer.
IS- Recently a most extraordinary race
took place in q fashionable ladies' seminary
school in the Thiergarten, Berlin, where thirty
three young ladies contested for the champion
ship in swimming. The winner, who is nine.
teen years of age, and very handsome, is said
to have proved that she might as we'll challenge
the other sex as her own. The race was fol-
lowed by an elegant luncheon, only ladies
being present, and tho promenaders in the
neighborhood listened with astonishment to the
lusty cheers that followed the toasts.
G9- Mr.. La Mountain, who made balloon
ascension from Watertown ON the 1lth inst,
landed about eight o'clock in the evening in
safety on the farm of Elisha Simmerman, near
the head lof Perch Lake, in Jefferson County, and
about twelve miles north of Watertown, the
trip having occupied about two hours. The
greatest altitude attained was over three miles.
The @ronaut arrived at WATERFOWL, with his
balloon uninjured, the next day.
A WOMAN WHO DOES Nor BELIEVE THE
Is related that woman in
Chicago was recently chided for not going to
see her husband, who had been badly injured
Her excuse was that she only heard of his in
jury through the papers, and "they don't al
ways tell the truth" Perhaps she would have
believed them had they said the husband
started East, aparty to runaway match.
