The Wife.

1t is astonishing to see how well man
may live on small income. who has
handy and industrious wife. Some
men live and make far better appear
ance on six or eight dollars week, than
others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars
The man does bis part well, but his wife
is good for nothing. She will even up
braid her husband for not living in as
good style as his neighbor, while the
fault is entirely her own. His neigh-
bors has neat, capable, and industrious
wife, and that makes the difference. His
wife. on the other hand, is whirlpool, in
to which great many silver cups might
be thrown, and the appearance Of the wa
ter would remain unchanged. No Mich
olas, the diver, is there to restore the
wasted treasure. It's only an insult for
a woman to talk to her husband about her
love and devotion.

To Get Rid of Moths.

We know of no infalliable method. II
is said that if certain offensive substances
are placed where they are wont to lay
their eggs, during the months of May and
June, they will be repeled. A few drops
Of oil of wormwood sprinkled on an old
cloth and then laid in chest or drawer,
will drive Gu. almost all insects. Cam
phor.gum. scattered along and under the
edges of the carpet. in the crevices Of fur.
niture, and among the folds of clothing,
is rather disgusting to moths. Where
they have already burrowed in carpets,
sprinkle little water over the infested
spots. then lap on sheet of brown pa
per and apply hot iron vigorously
Vinegar would perhaps be more efica-
cious than water-but both Of the app.i.
cations may injure the color of the'carpet.
The steam generated will be too much for
the moths.

How a Man Feels When he is Hung.

One would naturally suppose that a
man who had suffered all the horrors of
hanging, just short Of actual death. would
never risk the gallows again; but such, in
one case at least, was not the result. A
house breaker named Smith, was hung at
Tyburn, December "a, ,l7C5, and when he
had hung nearly fifteen minutes, the people
shouted "a reprieve!" He YVES then cut
down, bled, and recovered. When asked
what his feeling had been. he replied in
substance that, "when he was turned off,
he was for some time sensible of very
great pain, occasioned by the weight Of
his body, and he felt his spirits in a
strange commotion. violently pressing up
ward; that having forced their way to his
head, he, as it were, saw great blaze or
glaring light, which seemed to 60 out of
his eyes with a flash, and then he lost all
sense of pain. Then, after he was cut
down and began to come to himself, the
blood and spirits forcing themselves into
their former channels, put him, by sort
Of pricking or shooting, to such intoler-
able pain, that be could have wished
those hanged who had cut him down" =
Ever afterwards, he went by the name of
"Half-hanged Smith" This fellow soon
returned to his former evil habits, and
was again tried at the Old Bailey for
house. breaking; and the jury brought in
special verdict, leaving the affair to the
decision Of the twelve judges, who decid.
ed in favor Of the prisoner. Even this
second wonderful escape did not deter him
from resuming his malpractices. and
third time he was to have been brought
to trial, but the prosecutor died before the
day appointed, and thus he once more got
free. Nothingis known of his subsequent
history.

There seems to be one thing, after all,
that is more valuable for not having cost
anything! The following incident. which
we find in French paper, illustrates
the truth of this apparent impossible

81 would.". said he, with significant
look, "if you would sell me what I
want"
"Weli, what is it?"
"That lock of golden hair which falls
SO beautiful on your shoulder"
"You shall have it," replied the
Princess very promptly, and seizing a
pair Of scissors. she clipped it close 10
the temples. 1t was then duly wrapped
in piece of paper. and handed across the
counter.
"Five hundred francs." said the Prin-
cess.
The count as promptly drew a check
from his wallet and filled it up for the a.
mount. secretly thinking it was very dear,
but pocketing it with a rather chivalric
grace.
The next day, the Count, telling the
story with some triumph to his sister-in
law, who happened to be an intimate
friend of the Princess, was surprised 10
find it received with a burst Of hearty
laughter.
The Princess made good bargain off
of you." said his sister, ''for as l chance
to know, the FIVE hundred francs which
she charged you for that single curl is
three or four times as much as she paid
the hair.dresser for the whole wig"

The Cattle Disease--Its COntagieu
Character.

Oremel Martain, NJ. D., addresses the
medical profession through the columns
Of the Worcester (Mass.) Spy, Of June
II, as follows:
1t is asserted, on all sides, by our
profession with as much confidence as
though they had taken some pains to
know, and with as much assurance and
apparent expectation that their opinions
will weigh with community as though
they had taken pains to Investigate, that
they do not believe the disease pleuro
pneumonia among cattle, is contagious,
1t is believed by the writer, after
careful personal investigation, that there
can be no doubt that it is as contagious
as ssmall-pox. and nearly as fatal, and
the following are the reasons: No herd
has escaped when a well marked case of
the disease has been introduced within
it's borders, and remained any length Of
time. No case in this commonwealth
has occurred which cannot be traced, by
any contact as would be necessary to
produce small pox, through each diseased
animal to Mr.. Chenery's imported Dutch
cows. And aver no member Of our
profession has any right to have an
opinion that the disease is not contagious
till he can produce one herd that has
escaped after sufficient exposure, or till
he can produce one case that cannot be
traced to contagion.
"Soon the disease will be SO prevalent
that many cases cannot be traced to their
origin, as is frequently the case with
smallpox; especially as the eupidity of
our inhabitants will probably at times
induce them to move their cattle con.
trary to law. from place to place clandes-
timely. ...
1.-The disease, when it is not fatal,
always, as far as the observation of the
writer goes, passes on to supura:ion.-
And much of the confusion about the
contagion arises from the name pleuro-
pneumonia, which, in the human species,
is not contagious. But this disease is not
pleuro- ro-pneumonia. The pleuro-pneu.
monia is only the effect of contagious
poison, and this disease should be called
something else-say contagious pneu-
monia, or supurative pneumonia. or
better still, as named by DR.. Joseph
Sergeant, furuncular pneumonia"

A Real Romance.

Some years ago says the Petersburg
Press, lady residing in Pennsylvania
sent her only child, a son, to Europe, to
look after certain property that had been
bequeathed to her by a relative in Bel
gium. The sum was large one, and
would have placed her far beyond the
necessities of labor. The properly was
secured. and the son wrote home that he
would return in the steamer Pacific with
the funds obtained from its sale. The
Pacific never reached the shores of Amer
lea, and it is supposed that all on board
of ber perished. The old lady was incon.
solable for long while, but time finally
softened her grief She removed to Pet
ersburg, and for a long time had been no.
ted among her immediate neighbors for
her industry and charity.
On Thursday last a stranger called ups
on her. He was bearded to the eyes, and
his mein betokened one who had seen
much of the world. She received him
kindly, he began to speak of her son.
She recognized his voice-the veil Of
years was lifted from her eyes-the
olden time came back to her, like long
forgotten dream, and she knew her off.
spring.
His story is readily related. He did
not leave in the Pacific, but was taken ill
in London with the bilious fever. Dur-
ing dis sickness he was robbed Of all he
possessed. Upon his recovery he dared
not to return home penniless, and there

Lincoln on Snakes.

The following is one Of Lincoln's il
lustrations, made in aspeech at New Ha.
ven. Conn. Speaking Of the right and
wrong Of slavery. he said:
The other policy is one that squares
with the idea that slavery is wrong, and
it consists in doing everything that we
ought to do if it is wrong. Now l don't
wish to be misunderstood, nor leave gap
down 10 be misrepresented, even. l don't
say we ought to attack it where it exists,
To me it seems that If we were to form a
government anew, in view of the actual
presence Of slavery, We should find it ne.
cessary to frame just such a government
as our fathers did, giving to the slave
holders the entire control where the sys.
tenn is established, while we possessed the
limits. Applause From the necessi,
ties of the case, we should be compelled
to form just such government as our
blessed fathers gave us; and, surely, if
they have so made it, that adds another
reason why we should let slavery alone
where it exists.
If saw a venomous snake crawling in
the road, any man would say I might
seize the nearest stick and kill it but if I
find that snake in bed with my children,
it would be another question. Laughter.
| might hurt the children more than the
snake, and the snake might bite them
Applause. Much more, if I found it in
bed with my neighbor's children, and l
had bound myself by solemn compact
not to meddle with his children under any
circumstances, it would become me to let
that particular mode of killing the gen
lleman alone. Great laughter. But
if there is bed newly made up, to which
the children are to be taken, and it was
to take batch of young snakes
and put them in with them, l take it, no
man would say there was question how
ought to decide. Prolonged applause
and cheers.
That is just the case! The new Terri-
tories are the newly made bed to which
our children are to 60, and it lies with
the nation to say whether they shall have
the snakes mixed up with them or not
1t does not seem as if there could be much
hesitation what our policy should be-
Applause.

horse, which broke up badly and let Flo.

the horses were together, and the strug-

Patchen won by two lengths, finishing
the heat in 4:5s4. On starting for the
second heat it was evident that Flora
was IN bad condition for the race. Fora

dropped back, and Patchen won the heat,
by thirty feet in 4:571.
