HINTS TO MARRIED MEN.-Peppergrass
says that if he stays out late at night, and
wishes to avoid scolding or curtain leo
ture from Mrs. P, he generally waits out
till the swe sma' hours ayon the twal,' when
the anger of his better half subsidies into
fears for his personal safety. He goes out
son business with promise to be at home
at nine. Half past nine. Mrs. P. uneasy !;
ten, aggravated; half past ten positively en-
ragged, and rehearses to herself an address
for Peppergrass' especial edifcation, filled
with cutting reproaches; eleven, vague un-
easiness, accompanied by an indefinite fear
that something must have happened;' half
past eleven, nervous apprehension-tears
take the place of withering glances; twelve
o'clock, uncomfortable, suspense if she only
knew, the worst; one o'clock is completely
worked up, has the 'conniption,' aud is about
going off the handle when Peppergrass ar
rives, throws herself into his arms, oVerjoy-
ed to see him, as she was so afraid some
accident must have happened to him.'-Aas-

ORIGIN OF JEWS s-HARP. P.-Jew's- harp is,
probably, corruption of jaws harp, from
its being placed between the. jaws when
played. 1t is also called Jews trump, a
corruption of Jue-trompe, a play-thiug, or
play-trump. A single Jew's-harp must ne
cessarily be very incomplete; for, Professor
G. Wheatstone has shown, its sounds mainly
depend on the reciproeation of columns of
air in the mouth of the performer, and these
sounds are perfectly identical with the mul-
tiples of the original vibrations of the in
strument. By employing twoor more iustru-
ments, however, the deficiencies are sup
piled and few years since, Mr.. Eulenstein
used, in London, sixteen instruments Of diff
ferent sizes, and was thus enabled to modu-
late into every key, and to produce effects
not only original but musical and agreeable.

IMPORTANT Posi- OFFICE REGULATION

IMPORTANT Posi- OFFICE REGULATION.
We understand that the Post Office De-
partment, with the view of obtaining accu-
rate and reliable information as to the NUM-
Der of letters transmitted in the mails, has
so changed the blank form Of the ''account
of mails sent" as to secure official entries
therein of the Number of letters sent from
each post Office; thus to enable the depart
ment in future to report the aggregate num-
ber of letters mailed throughout the United
States in each fiscal year, or during any speci-
fed period of shorter duration.
The new blanks, calling for this informa-
ton, will hereafter be supplied to postmast-
ers, and it is presumed that all will be fur
nished in time to commence this report by
the LIST of July. Any postmasters not 80
supplied should insert the number in an ad-
ditional column of the blanks now in use.-

document for the Relief ofthe Sick and Dis
tressed, afflicted ,cith Hirulnt
and Epidemic Diseases.
VNHE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the
IL awful destruction Of human life, caused by
Sexual disease, and the deceptions practiced upon
the unfortuate victims of such diseases by Ouacks,
several years ago directed their Consulting Sur
geon, as CHARITABLE ACT worthy of their
name, to open pispensary for the treatment Of
this class of disease, in all their forms, and to

skill of the age and will furnish the most modern
treatment.

al Report upon the treatment Of Sexual Diseases,

attended the labors of the Consulting Surgeon in

Impotence, Gonorrhe, elect, Syphilis, the vice of
Onanism or Selfabuse, &c., and order continu-
ance Of the same plan for the ensuing year.
The Directors, on review of the past, feel es.
surred that their labors in this sphere of benevo.
lent effort have been Of great benefit to the aict-
ed, especially to the young, and they have resolv
ed to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to
this very important and much despised cause

HABITS OF BEw1LpERED PEoPLE.-A

HAB1rs OF BEw1LpERED PEoPLE.-A
CORRESPONDENT writes to the Scientific Amer
acan:
In late number of your paper you state,
in answer to some correspondent, that "when
aman is lost he will not travel in a circle" In
this you are certainly mistaken;it it is a factwell
known to all frontiersmen, that, when per-
sons are bewildered, they frequently travel
in perfect circle, sometimes keeping the
same track until they make dozen equal
rounds at other times making the circle lar
ger or smaller each time. It is not by any
means alwaysthe case, when'aperson is lost;
but it is so frequent that it is within the ex-
perience of every one who has been much in
the woods. In calm and cloudy weather,
and in a country of such sameness Of appear
ance, the best woodsmen get so bewildered
as to "take the circles" Persons not accus-
toned to the woods will sometimes do SO
when the sun is shining and steady breeze
blowing. On the level or gulf prairies OF
this country, on calm, foggy morning, no
man can travel without road. 1t is an IN
cident of every day occurrence in the spring
and fall seasons, that men are thus becalmed
on the prairie as efeotually as are ships at
sea nor will compass-mend the matter, Tor
it cannot be carried steadily enough to keep
its meridian, and the course it points cannot
be kept fifty yards; if man attempts it he
will make q circle and come back to the
place he started from. The circle will be
large or small generally, in proportion to the
density of the fog-sometimes only hun
dred yards in diameter; OF other times
mile, but seldom more. The circles thus
made are perfect. This kind ofwandering
seems to arise from an attempt to go a straight
course when there is nothing to guide the
senses, or when the usual guides Of sun,
wind, or the general contour of the country
are disregarded. 1t rarely befalls children,
who do not attempt to 60 on a coarse, but
only run from one visible point to another
equally perceptible.

A KNOWING "CoURT."-An anecdote

A KNOWING "CeURT."- An anecdote is
related of court in village during the
past past year, which we regard as one of the
richest in its line of any that has been record
ed, and give it to our readers as nearly as we
can recollect it. The case on trial was for
the sale Of liquor. The principal witness
wassingularly obtuse and though confessiug
to having made purchase, could not for the
life Of him tell what the article was. The
most ingenious questioning would not bring
it out. At last the attorney asked him:
"How did it taste?'
"I d'no!'
Here the "court" interposed, alleging that
to be an improper question, and inquired of
the attorney why he put such an interroga-
tory.
"Well, your honor" replied the attorney,
"I was unable to make the witness tell what
kind of liquor he bought; but 1 thought if
he would tell how it tasted, the court would
be able to determine for ITSELF"
The hit was too palpabe.

IMMENSE CABLE.-The chain cable of
the steamship Adriatic, built for the Collins
line, weighs fifty pounds per link. In the
course of proving, one of the weakest links
gave way at ninety-seven tons pressure, with
a force that shook the building. A new link
was substituted, and the cable withstood a
strain of 105 tons. The cables of the Great
Eastern are yet stouter, each link weighing
seventy pounds. These are delicate little
necklaces to handle.

BARKING OF Docs ?-The Australian
dog never barks indeed, Gardiner, in his
Music of Nature, states that "dogs in state
of nature never bark; they simply whine,
howl, and growl this explosive noise is only
found among those which are domesticated. I"
Sonnini speakes of the shepherds dogs in
the wilds Of Egyptas not having this faculty;
and Columbus found the dogs which he had
previously carried to America to have lost
their propensity to barking. The barking
of dog is an acquired faculty-an effort
to speak, which he drives from hisassociation
with man.
