The correspondent Of tho Charleston C0urisr
writing from jackson, July 1lth, tells as def
nitoly how tie fall Of YieksbuTg was accom-.
plishsd. Hs says:

have larger army to relieve Yieksburg; even

cause Of the surrender OF VicksbuTg was the
want of food. Par5led prisoners who came into

Mxmen and his Assistants.

Men and women nowadays appear TO en-
terrain great unwillingness to marry, at
least if one may judge 50 from the way in IN
which the nuptial. knot is generally ted.
Happy couples now appear 50 10th to be
united, that officiating clergymen are forced
to be " assisted when they perform the cere-
smony. Two-parson power at least is needfui
fir the purpose, and indeed an extra clergy
man is frequently called in, to help his rev
end brethren in their laborious work. From
reading the advertisements one might imagine
that nine weddings out of ten were solemn
lied by force and that to prevent the bride
and bridegroom from. boiling from the altar,
they had each clergyman appointed to look
after them. We can picture the poor. bride
groom held fast by one assistant, while
another standing opposite, keeps firm hold O.
the bride, thus preventing all escape until the
service has been read, which is done by I
third parson--the clergyman-in-chief.

The Proper Form for am Axe.

Almost every article, from steam engine
to a penny whistle has beea improved and
natented so that it requires an inventive mind
to suggest any want in that direction unsup-
piled. The pillow has been subjected to
change, till scarce spotis left to attach an
;mnrovement; the stove has multitude OF
forms, more numerous than the thousand and
one kinds of fuel; the shovel remains nearly
its ancient form, though made OF better
material; hay and manure forks will pay the
inventive expenditure lavished upon them,
and so on through long list too numerous to
mention. But who ever saw good axe
Who ever applied for patent on the axe
Who suspects, even at this late day, that inn
provement can be made in its formation
Where is the man, or association of men, that
dare offer premium for the best axe? The
cutting quality of the axe is right, but the
form is Objectionable. The writer, after use
ing the axe nearly fifty years, has found bu
one that is right. That one was made t.
order. The axe-maker should advise with tn
wood-choper as to the form and size. Blu
the wood-cuttees, like doctors,may disagree
What shall be doneS Let premiums be OF
cred for the best axe-also for the best spec
mems of wood-cutting, and in two years
will be known what is ihe best form for a
axe.--Mass. PlosomGn.
We think our contemporary has omitte
the real cause of the difficulty some individ'
ais have in suiting themselves with an ak

fact that mechanic cannot use his comrade

handle does not suit his hand; either it is t
long or too short, or something of this XIII

The revolution Of the stone viii wear away the
steel much better than rubbing it in this man
ner,. by which the edge is likely to be made
and to be set irregularly. 1t is
preferable to hold the scythe so that the stone
will revolye toward the edge. In this way the
holder can see when the edge is reached, and
the particles ground off are carried away clean.
In the opposite method of grinding there IS
danger Of making 6 feather edge which
will readily crumble of, and leave the scythe
almost or quite as duh as before. The blade
should be ground equally, on both Sides In
wetting sythe, lay the rife or milestone Hat
against the side of the blade, and give light,
Quick stroke downward and forward in the d.
rection Of the edge, 80 that the scratches IT
makes shall keep the points set in the same
direction-as given them by grinding. BY fol-
lowing these simple suggestions scythe may
be made to hold its edge twice as long as when
the rife is drawn along the edge almost at
random. A few strokes carefully given VIII
enable the workmen to keep the right direc-
ton and wet rapidly.

Perhaps you fancy your shape. You do
look comfortable and jolly. But, as physi-
ologist, l must find fault with you. Obesity,
like emaciation, is sort of disease--unfa-
vorable to health and long life.
This warm weather makes you pant and
perspire. .,..
met one of your number down on the
beach, the other day.. 1t was a warm after
noon. He was very uncomfortable. We
stopped to chat moment, when he ex-
claimed: '' '1 = a.saa7
II would give ten thousand dollars to be
reduced to one hundred-and fifty pounds. l
pant, wheeze and sweat pant, wheeze and
sweat every time STIR" and, looking earn
estly into my face, he said: "Doctor, what
can you do for me? What can take? My
family doctor tells me he can give me some
thing that will whittle me down; do you
think it can be done?"
"Oh, yes" replied, nothing is easier;
but it is quite unnecessary to take any medi-
cine. Suppose, sir, you have a very fat
horse-much in the condition of yourself
and some doctor were to propose to, reduce
his weight with medicine, what would you
say2" ss - etsf 1efe 7aa
9. 1 should tell him that could reduce his
weight by reducing the amount of food"
''Just SO and you would be quite right
Allow me to commend the same practice to
Yourself Reduce the quantity of your food
one-quarter, and l venture to say that in {
month you will weigh from five to ten pounds
less than now AT the end of the first month
reduce the amount of your food another quar-
ter. Within threel or six months you will
find yourself lighter by twenty to fifty pounds
Your digestion will be much healthier, you
respiration freer, and your activity and endur
ance greatly increased"
But" said he, &c don't eat half as mucl
as some thin men whom l know"
'eThis is not improbable; and prcsum
their excessive eating keeps them thin, as
with your tendency, excessive eating pre-
duccs fat If they were to reduce the quantit
of their food, they would, like yourself, ten
toward the normal standard-they would gai
in weight while you lose"
He promised to try it, and started on.
In a horse-car, the other day, / met 81
,.corpulent, uncomfortable men, all sure to di
prematurely. Every one of them might,
six or twelve months, be reduced to the no
NAL standard, and enjoy degree of healt
and activity to which he is now a strange
Is my physiological statement more sci
evident than that every fat person eats mo-
than he needs2
But" exclaims some fat young woma
who would give the world to be in go
shape, II cannot go hungry and faint ft
ever" ~t +e
This remark shows that you have new
tried what have suggested. 1t is only t
great eater who is troubled with hunger al

tity of your food. even one-half at once, aft
three days you will not suffer from faiutne
or hunger. The man who eats temperatel
