n First Use OF CHIMNEYs IN Enc
LaAND.-Not until perhaps about the
l4th century was real chimney seen
in England; previous to this the
dwellings of even the opulent must
have been miserable places, in so far
as regards domestic comfort when
compared with that which is usually
uppermost in the modern mind. In
the middle of the spacious halls of our
ancestors was placed the hearth, upon
which stood the andirons, where hori-
zontally lay the ends Of the brands,
which by means of heavy two
pronged fork, were arranged in the
best form for throwing out light and
heat. On the roof, over the hearth,
was turret or tower, filed with
boards, disposed in such manner as
to exclude the wind and rain, and al
low the smoke to escape. "In this gaunt
and aguish apartment" )" says a writer
on the subject, cheated by single fire,
the company were in a position not
much different from what they would
be in the open air !; not a particle Of
heated air could add to their comfort for
as fast as produced it escaped through
the louver. Light was the only solace
the greater number could derive from
the blazing fuel and the few who
were in situation to feel the radiant
heat were incommoded by the current
OF cold air, sweeping like hurricane
along the floor towards the fire. From
the height of the louver, and low tenn
perature of the smoke, few of the buoy
ant flakes of charcoal found their way
into the atmosphere, and the larger
the bonfire the thicker was the layer
OF SCOT deposited upon each individual.
boisterous weather also brought its
annoyance had the fire been made in
the open field they might have moved
from its miaeries.'' AS it was with
our ancestors before the invention of
chimneys, so was it with the Greeks
and Romans, who with all their arts
and learning, their fine minds, elegant
tastes, lofty idealism;' and beautiful
forms and faces, must have presented
but indifferently cleanly exteriors after
having been exposed a while to the
smoke of their own dwellings. II The
Sanitary Reporter. 90

The Fatal Consequences of a
Joke.

Samuel Peabody, of New Hope,
Cayuga county, N. Y, came to his
death on the 9th ultimo in singular
manner. A set of scamps infest that
village, who seem to have been in the
habit of annoying him in various ways,
putting old wagons and other articles
on the roof of his shop, breaking his
windows and obstructing the door,
On the Sunday night previous they
thrust long pole down the chimney,
fastening an old sleigh on the top
Mr.. Peabody was engaged in remov-
ing it, when he fell from the roof to the
ground, receiving mortal injury. He
is said to have been quiet, inoffensive
old man. .

TFrom tbe D,trolt poat.l z,


Since his retirement from the Cabl-
net, most Of his time Has been spent !
quietly at home, and his leisure hours
have been devoted 10 reading and
writing an Of the most rare and
valtible works, particularly those OF
history and travel, were to be found
upon his table .as speedily as asannoonced
from the press. During the early part
of the war he wrote much TO pub
lie men, giving his views and opinions
concerning the fnultitudinous legal,
constitutional, political, and military
questions which were agitating and
dividing the country. Shortly after
the appointments Of Mr.. Stanton as
OF War, the General tele-
graphed him, copgratulating him up
on the vigor and earnestness with which
he prosecuted the arduous duties of his
position. ....
Blessed with naturally robust health,
hardened by his vigorous frontier life
while youth, he preserved, by total
abstinence from Intoxicating liquors,
and moderation in all his habits, the
strong and elastic constitution that
survived the turmoil, strife and per-
plexities of his long and tumultuous
public life. He could dedicate for
hours, and tire out an amanuensis. -
He possessed that faculty, common to
but few men, to dictate Ave letters on
different subjects at time. He had
an excellent memory. AT one time
he delivered an eXtemporaneous speech
T in the Senate, and the morning af-
ter repeated it verbatim to the repor-
ter. ...... .... ... ... .....-.
For some year and half past he
has been sufferiag more or less from
disease of the kidneys, which took,
+ however, no serious form until the
/ latter part of December, 1865, continu
ing then with great severity during
4 the months of January, February, anC
. March of the present year. Indeed, i
:, was feared that he would not live, ant
q his absent children were telegrapheC
:, to come home; but he fingered OF
E through April, when signs of improve
ment became manifest and continued
o until early in June, when his condi
! ton was such as to permit of his walk
o ing out in the garden, and to give his
family and friends strong hopes of his
q recovery. r Tr.tls 81 .rv I.ae
y AS late as Wednesday last he sat W
. and conversed freely with his children
# but on Thursday symptoms of the oil
o disease reappeared, and he becam
= much worse, failing rapidly through
. out Friday and Saturday, and to tn
% hour of his death on Sunday morning
q He had five children, four of whom
i survive him-Elizabeth Cass, deceased
:. Lewis Cass; Mary, now Mrs. Garfield
" Matilda, now Mrs. Ledyard; Isabella
now Mrs. Won Limburg. He left
will.
1t may be we'll to state, as it ha
= been made the subject of newspape
y gossip, that there was not, and ha
not been at any time during the Gen
n erals illness, anything which partool
1t of the nature of softening of the brain
n On the contrary, he was throughou
+; bright and cheerful, and frequentl
e spent moments in relating to his med
y ical attendant incidents of his pas
e eventful life and career.

New Process OfCnring Meat by
@ InfiltrntiOn. ~ ~

The Chilllcothe Gazette of a late date
gives the following Interesting descrip-I
ton of the new process, called y qInfil-
tration," which is worthy of public at
tention. The Gazette says: nm - ''
We witnessed the operation known
as infiltration, on Saturday last, at the
slaughter house of Mr.. NJ. r. Bartlett,
in this city. The process Is designed
for the speedy curing of meat of all
kinds, retaining allits nutritive prop
critics and preserving the taste of fresh
meat. Prof. Liebig, the hest authority
in the world on the subject, gives his
opinion that the process is based on
correct scientific principles, and it must
commend itself to any one who wit
nesses the operation. 1t is the inven-
ton of DIR. Morgan, Professor of Anat-
omy in the Royal College Of Surgeons
lin Ireland. .t I adf .r..t r..... ..
The process briefly is this: The
blood is all thoroughly removed from
the animal, and in its place is infltat-
ed the preserving liquor-ordinary
brine or pickle, to which other ingredi-
ents may be added to suit the taste.
Two small tanks (or barrels will an.
swer) are placed at an elevation o.
about twenty feet. In one of these is
clear water; in the other the Brine
The animal to be preserved is killed by
q blow on the head~sO as not to injurt

the heart, from which the blood rushes
When the bleeding slackens a pipe at
tached to an inch hose, leading from
the water-tank above, is inserted int
the left side of the heart and the waite
turned on. 1t follows the course o
the blood vessels through every par
q of the animal, gushing out at the in
cision in the opposite side of the hear
in a bloody stream at first, but rapid
growing clearer and clearer until ever
particle of blood is removed and th
pure clear water flows out, havin
F. made the complete circuit of the bloc
vessels. @ ~
Then the hose is changed, the orific
in the right side of the heart is close
with small clamp, and the brine
turned on. In from three to five min
utes every part of the animal wher
there had been blood is thoroughly
er filed with the brine, and from tn
. smallest incision made in any part I
2 the body the brine will flow, just as ii
blood would have done from the Ii
ing animal. The operation is simpl
rapid and cheap, and the meat beir
so thoroughly cleansed and then s
completely saturated by the brine,
preserved with all its nutritive propei
ties fresh and sweet for almost an
length Of time.

The New York Lancet has an article
on "what TO eat, how to eat, and when
to eat" 1t concludes that food is the
foundation of good constitution, and
The child should have enough of it,
The health of children depends much
upon the food that is given them. Dis
eases through life, are produced by an
insufficiency of food in childhood -
Two-thirds animal and one-third veg
etable food is the best proportion, and
should be TAX en- in quantities sufficient
to allay hunger, three times a day
The article disapproves of light break
fasts and suppers. A proper quantity
of meat at each meal produces health
! Food is ,ntendt d to supply the waste
of the body which occurs between the
meals, and X should be taken in about
equal quantities at regular intervals,
three times.a day. If children are not
/ fed enough, the system is not properly
developed, and in after life they suffer.
Man is born an animal feeder, and,
like other animals, he becomes stouter
and better able to resist diseases and
the wear of the constitution, the bet
ter he is fed. But this Of course does
not imply over-feeding or gormandiz-
ing. The article concludes; ..f
1--WE believe it is well admitted that
food is the source of the elements of
which the body is composed. What
kind of man or woman then can we
have when there is deficiency in the
supply Of food, and at the time when
most needed. that is, during the period
vile develt p nent is taking place. y
man performing much physical labor
on summers day, does not exhaust
+ much more nutrition, than a grown
; boy. If we want to raise in place OF
puny specim ms of hum nifty, fine, re-
r bust men and women, they must not
be stinted in childhood. Feed them

: the demand. To adults, the remarks

o food at the various meals are applica.

SADNEss.--There is a mysterious
feeling that frequently passes like a
cloud over the spirit. 1t comes upon
the soul in the tusy b st G of life, in the
social circle, in the calm and silent re-
treat of solitude. It's power is alike
supreme over the weak and iron-heart-
ed. AT one time it Is caused by sin
gle thought across the mind. Again
a sound will be booming across the
ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn
as the death-kneIl, overshadowing all
the bright hopes and sunny feelings Of
the heart. Who can describe it, and
yet who has not felt its bewitching in
fluence? Still it is a delicious sort OF
sorrow, and like cloud dimming the
sunshine Of the river, although cast
ing a momentary shade of gloom, 1t
enhances the beauty Of returning
brightness. .rl..4 -. ,....i...-

A case involving the constitution
ality of the Civil Rights Bill has just
been decided adversely by Judge
Thomas, of the Circuit Court of Vir-
ginia, sitting in Alexandria. In a
civil action between white men, one
OF the parties offered to produce negro
evidence.
The Judge decided that inasmuch
as the State laws of Virginia forbade
the introduction of negro testimony in
civil suits to which white men alone
were parties, the evidence of the negro
was inadmissible, and that no Con.
gressional Legislation could impair hei
right to decide what persons or class o.
persons were competent to testify in
her courts.

BUY Land,

Horace Greeley urges every body to
"buy land" He says:
Gland is still amazingly cheap in
most parts of our country, and is not
destined to remain so. immigration
is very heavy; we are all sick of war /;
and our population increases at a rate
which will double it every twenty
years. The common notion that we
still have an enormous area of arabic
soil unappropriated is a mistake
West of Kansas and Nebraska-that
is, over three hundred miles west of
the Missouri@-there is little good
land. The central table-lands of our
continent lie SO high as to be cold and
frosty, and in summer are parched by
persistent, pitiless drouth. Even
were not the lack of timber a serious
obstacle to settlement, not one acre in
fifty could be rendered productive with
out irrigation and artesian wells, and
these are very costly.

The Annapolis Gazette, commenting
upon the meetings being held in Ma
ryland and elsewhere, "purporting to
be for the purpose of endorsing the
policy of President Johnson" says:
The officers and prominent individ-
uals whose names appear at these
gatherings, are men who opposed the
election of Mr.. Johnson to the Vice
Presidency, and who were open and
determined sympathizers with the
traitors who rebelled against the best
Government the sun ever shone upon.
If we could believe that these people
were sincere in their professions, we
would heartily rejoice. But we can
not. So far as our own knowledge
extends, nine out of ten of these lead
ers of the President will not hesitate
to curse the late murdered President
Lincoln and the Government. In
their hearts they are as much 'embit-
tered against the Government of the
United States to-day as they were
when rebellion flourished and the sal
vation of our beloved country and the
Union was critically endangered
They are willing to fawn and fattel
President johnson in the hope ot
gaining some political advantage, but
in their hearts they hate him for his
firm and steadfast devotion to the I'm
ion, as much now as they did wher
they abused and slandered him as {
candidate for the Vice Presidency. A
few days ago an election for municipal
officers took place in Alexandria, Va.
in sight of the dome of the Capitol
and if we are rightly informed, thes'
very endorsers of President Johnson'
policy elected seven persons in TIN
Rebel army to Office.

following incident lately occurred on
one of the Cambridge horse cars:
A car going from Bostonwas crowd

with dismay at the scarcity Of seats.
A gentleman rose and offered her his
seat. Sheimmediately took possession
of it without word of thanks. The
gentleman seeing this, turned to her
and politely asked her if she would
rise a moment and let him get bundle
he had left in his seat. The lady rose,

his former place, remarking that a
seat that was not worth thanking for
was not worth having. The lady was
somewhat mortified, and was obliged
to stand the rest of the way.
