ns,- Our table was enriched last week

with the July and August numbers o'
'Demorests illustrated Monthly Magazine
and Madame Demorest's Mirror of Fash
ion" We can conceive of nothing more
beautiful or useful, than this publication
whether as a centre table ornament or as
present to female friend. Each mum
Der contains the latest fashions, splendid
piece of music, numberless truly artistic
engravings, and the best stories we have
read in many day. Each number too
contains full sized diagrams of one more
OF the latest novelties in dress, printed on
tinted paper. Although the Mirror OF
Fashion is devoted, as its name indicates,
to fashions, it is by no means blind devo-
tee of the fickle God While furnishing
the reader with complete record of
changes occurring, its editress is careful
to throw out such hints as cannot fail to
exercise wide influence in preventing
the unwary from running to pecuniary
and fashionable extremes. The work is
furnished to subscribers at S3 per annum,
and splendid premium to each subscrib-
er. Address w. Jennings Demorest, AS

How TO Freshen Salt Fish.

Many persons who are in the habit Of
freshening mackerel or other salt fish
never dream that there is right and a
wrong way to do it. Any person who
has seen the process of evaporation going
on at the salt works knows that the salt
falls to the bottom Just so it is in the
pan where your mackerel or white fish
lies soaking; and as it lies with the skin
side down, the salt will fall to the skin
and remain there, when, if placed with
the flesh ST le down, the salt falls to the
bottom of the pan, and the fish comes out
freshened as it should in the other case
it is nearly as when put in.

Labor.

Did it ever occur to you, reader, what
is accomplished by labor, and what is the
world without it? Why, man of idle
ness, labor has rocked you in the cradle,
and nourished your pampered life; with
out it the woven wool upon your back
would be upon the shepherds flock. For
the mcanest thing that ministers to hu-
man want, save the air Of heaven, man is
indebted to toll; and even the air, in
Gods wise ordination, is breathed with
some degree of labor 1t is only drones
who toll not-who infest the hive Of the
active like masses Of corruption The
lords Of the earth then, are working-men
who build or cast down at their will and
who can retort at the sneer of the bogus
aristocracy by pointing to their trophies
wheresoeyer art, science, civilization and
humanity are known. Work on, man of
toll. BE true to thyself, and to thy cause
and thy loyalty will Jet be acknowledged.

A fortnight ago there was freshet in
the Cuyahoga River, Ohio, which flows
into Lake Erie at Cleveland. A great
crowd Of people stood on the wharves of
the town, watching the masses of debris
swept down BY the turbulent waters, and
the Cleveland Plaindealer says floating
cradle was soon discovered. After some
exertions it was drawn to the shore, and
found to contain an infant, fast asleep,
and happily unconscious of the perils that
surrounded it. Where the child came
from or whom its parents may be, are un-
known.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says: Will
liam Shulty, boy about fifteen years of
ago, had a most remarkable escape from
instant death on Saturday last, at Millers-
vile. While in the fourth story of the
Normal school building, he got upon ia
BILE directly in front Of window, the en-
tire sash of which had been removed dur
ing the hot weather, and, whilst attempt
ing to reach some shelves over the win
dow, lost his balance and plunged out
headlong. He struck the ground with
fearful violence, fortunately falling on his
hands and knees. The right arm was
broken at the Wrist Both bones of the
left were broken midway between the
wrist and elbow, the fractured bones pro-
trudiug through the flesh and penctrat
ing the ground. The left thigh was brok-
en- midway between the knee and body, the
bone also being driven directly through
the flesh aud into the ground, so violent
was the concussion The height of the
window is some forty feet.

The Bounty Act.

The Secretary of War is to appoint o
board of officers to compile instructions
by which the extra bounty provided for
by the 18th section Of the new law will
be paid to soldiers. The Treasury De
partment will be prepared, after the lst
of September, to commence meeting this
new demand.
Letters arc pouring in daily asking for
instructions and forms in relation to ap.
pications for the additional bounty under
the recent act None can be furnished
until the Secretary of War and the Sec
rotary of the Treasury have prescribed
the rules and regulations as the act di
rects. 1t will probably require several
weeks, on account of the pressure of 9TH
er business, before a system can be adop-
ted, aud regulations prepared and printed
for distribution. Letters of inquiry
must remain unanswered, and had better
not be written until notice has been Civ
en- through the public press that rules
have been prepared. The Second Audi.
tors office will settle only the claims OF
the heirs of deceased soldiers. But as
there will be at least 200, 900 of such
claims, they must be required to prepare
a proper register and make other neces.
sary arrangements to receive them. Nc
advantage can possibly be gained by hur
rying claims either into that Office or the
Paymaster Generals Office.

German Settlement in Texas.

Soon after the close of the war between
the United States and Mexico, colony
of German immigrants settled in Middle
Texas The originators of the enterprise
believed that white labor was both possi-
BILE and practicable in the latitude Of the
Gulf States, and upon the theory conduc-
ted the experiment Each settler owned
and worked the soil, in small lots, as is done
in Europe and the Northern States. The
pioneers succeeded so well that other colo
nies were induced to follow and settle in
the same neighborhood. The experiment
established that cotton could be success
fully cultivated on small farms, owned and
worked by white men, and that the eli
mate is not inimical to the growth and
development of an industrious, hardy la
boring population. In the midst of this
settlement, there has been built. on Gau-
daloupe River, thriving, wealthy inland
city of over 1000 inhabitants. The Neu-
Brountels Zeitung reports the industry of
the city as follows:
ain trade, occupations and professions
| New Braunfels has eight carpenters. nine
wheelwrights, eight joiners, two coopers,
five saddle-tree and stnrup-ma kers, two tur-
ners, one wooden bowl maker, eight black
smiths, two gunsmlths, one timer, one foun-
der, seven masons, eight tanners, seven shoe
makers, six saddlers, one collar maker, four
tailors, seven butchers, eleven grocers, one
barber, one coachman, 30 retail and whole
sale merchants, and one flour dealer.
"Thcre are also three colton-gins, one
cotton factory with 81 looms, one grist mill
two -four mills, one window-maker, one
wool-carding machine, one brewery, one dis
tillery, two brick and lime-klins, one print
ing office, two apothecary stores. one coach
maker one house-painter and varnisher, one
peddler, three physicians, three music teach
ers, two lawyers, three preachers, foul
churches, one public school with five teach
ers, three private schools taught by ladies'
one post-office, one telegraph office, three
dancing halls, one theatre, three billiard sa
looms, and one ten-pin alley.
THE population is about 1000 SOULS
This is doing pretty well for an inland city
OF Texas"

sg We were shown yesterday, brass
cap, belonging to the muzzle stopple of
an Enfield rife, which was extracted from
the thigh of Mr.. Steward Shupp, residing
in Chestnuthill township, in this county,
where it had lain for some three years.
The cap had become so completely i'm
bedded in the large bone, called, we be-
lieve, the Pelvis,' = that it had to be chiz
zled out. Mr.. Shupp has suffered great
ly ever since he received the wound, and
several attempts have been made to re-
move what was supposed to be the bali,
but were unsuccessful. The operation
which proved so successful was performed
by DIR. A. Reeves Jackson, assisted by
Drs Abraham and Steward Levering-
The severity of the wound and Of Mr.
Shupp's suffering from it may readily be
inferred when We state, that bullet for
ceps, some eleven inchs long, was pushed
into the wound, after the cap was remov-
ed, without Inconvenience to the patient
An eyewitness to the operation, says, 1t
looked like literally faying man alive
The patient, we are pleased to learn, is
getting along remarkably well. Mr
Shupp received the wound while on pick.
ct duty, and was shot by comrade, in
mistake for rebel, who, in his hurry and
scare, forgot to take the stopple out ol
his gun.
