Papering Rooms.

The Scientific American remarks that
many lives have been lost from the lazi-
ness or ignorance af paper hangers, who
have laid one paper over another, in
stead of tearing off the old before hang
ing the new. There was very hand
some house near one Of our best provin-
cial towns, which could never keep its
tenants. AT last it stood empty, and be-
came worthless, because infectious fever
seized upon every family that lived in it.
A ready witted observer promised the
owner to find out the cause. He traced
the mischief to one room, and presently
conjectured what was the matter there.
He let slip of glass into the wall, and
found it, next day, dimmed with fetid,
condensed vapor. He tore down strip
of paper, and found abundant cause for
any amount Of fever. For generations
the house had been papered afresh, with
out the removal of anything underneath.
And there was the putrid size, and fer
menting papers, inches deep. A thor
ough cleaning put an end to the fever,
and restored the value of the house.

AN ACCESSION TO SEcEssIoN.-The
principal chief of the Choctaw nation
has issued message urging his people,
and the several Indian tribes composing
the nation, to join the Southern Confed-
eracy and send delegates to the Southern
Congress. His advice has been follow
ed-the General Council having passed
series of resolutions to the same ef-
feet.
The Chief also recommends the send
ing Of Commissioners to Washington to
confer with the Pres dent Of the United
States, and to look after the security of
their moneyed investments. These in
quiries can be much better conducted at
the Southern Congress for the Sece-
ders stole most of the Indian Bonds and
took them with them when they left
Washington. We hope the Choctaws
will be satisfied with their new security.
