ELEVEN NEGROES DOSE THEMSELVES AND
DIE.-The Cairo Democrat OF a late date
tells this:
Z" Mississippi planter gave employment
during the past season, to thirty or forty
negroes The cholera broke out among
them, and a physician was call d, whose
treatment promised quick success. An old
negro among the number, however. was not
satisfied with the progress Ct affairs, and
with great show of religious zeal and
reverential awe, made it known to his fellows
that God had appeared to him and revealed
the strange fact that, if the cholera smitten
negroes would procure one handful of salt
and the other full of figs, and sit beneath a
sycamore tree and swallow the contents of
both hands. taking first bite of salt and
then bite of the figs, that the cure that
would ensue would be sufficiently miracu-
lous to show a direct Providential inter
ference in their behalf. Accordingly twelve
negroes threw away their doctor stuff,
and supplying themselves with the figs and
salt, and seating themselves under the
charmed sycamore, proceeded to dose them
selves as directed. The result was miracu-
lous, for eleven of them never left the spot =
The dose killed them"

Saratoga Water Again.

The following is another example of the
baleful effects OF the mineral springs at Sara
toga 1t is from correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune:
" You remember what an abstemious and
highly moral man Babcock is in Chicago
He is member of all the benevolent sOcie-
ties; belongs to three churches, | under
stand, and is prominent officer OF a base
ball club. Every one knows Babcock. lie
is, strictly speaking, virtuous citizen, and
the owner of grain elevator. Well, even
he drank so much water from several differ
ent springs that he went to his wife the other
night with his hat mashed over his eyes
got into bed with his boots on, and kissed
her-something she declares he had not done
before in ten wears. What's the matter
with you, Mr. Babcock? p queries his spouse
rising in surprise and Indignation. Am
to be treated in this manner in hotel where
we pay two hundred dollars a week? why,
Mr. Babcock what do you take me forE
Take you for-slowly and with thick
tongue-take you for? Why my dear
-you-for-somebody efse.'
Mr.. Babcock, your clothes are disarranged.
You've got your vest on wrong side before,
and your watch is in your boot And as |
live. here's a lady's locket about your neck.
Is there, my Gear, Is there All rlSut-
lock it, lock it. Then-then it won't-won't
hurt anybody. You see, my dear, then it
won't-get-get out-you know
Mr. Babcock, you've been drinking.
Il know-know-it. I've been-been
drink-drinking the waters
With a great deal of brandy. l can
smell your breath, Mr.. Babcock.
Very-very well, my-my dear. Smell
smell away. II don't care d-n.'-
(And here Mr.. Babcock snored and rolled
off the bed without waking up
Mrs Babcock tried to arouse him, but did
not succeed until nearly daylight. Then he
repeated the statement that it was the water,
and. when asked to explain about the locket
said tie lady must have dropped it into the
spring; that he had dipped it up and
spilet it into his bosom.
Mrs. Babcock did not ask any more
questions; and suppose she was satisfied"

BUTTERMILK VS. CLARET.-The New York
Gazette, which is bestowing some attention
on the buttermilk question in that city, is
responsible for the following:
A curious experiment has been tried with
buttermilk by testing its modest qualities
against the regal purple stream" of claret.
One who is in the secret will bet with one
who isn't, that the latter, if fblindfolded, can.
not distinguish claret from buttermilk by the
taste. Several glasses are filled with claret,
and an equal number with buttermilk. and
they are handed alternately to the blind
folded person. who tastes them For few
turns he will name the respective liquids
correctly, but after a while his sense of taste
becomes confused, and he insists that butter
milk is claret, and rice rersG. We have not
ourselves seen this experiment tried, but we
have been assured by persons on whom we
can rely that they have frequently witnessed
it, and that the result is always the same.

MAUsoLEUM.- sister and wife
of Mausolus. married her own brother.
famous for his personal beauty. She was SC
fond of her husband, that at his death she
drank in her liquor his ashes after his body
had been burned, and erected to his memory
a monument, which for it's grandeur and
magnifcence, was called one of the seven
wonders of the world. This monument she
called MausOleum, name which has been
given to all monuments of unusual splendor
She invited all the literary men of her age,
and proposed rewards to him who composed
the best elegiac panegyric upon her husband
The prize was adjudged to Theopompus,

Enoch Arden Outdone.

Tn the year 1859 Thomas B. Carpenter
married Miss Ruth Fields, daughter of
las Fields, a wealthy farmer of Jefferson
county. in this State. On the breaking out
of the rebellion, Carpenter, in company with
John Bagwell, the then Sheriff, and half a
dozen others, crossed the line and enlisted in
the confederate army. At the battle Of
Pittsburg Landing he was reported killed,
but was taken prisoner instead, and refusing
to take the oath of allegiance, was confined
until the end of the war. He says he has
written fifty two letters to his wife and others,
but she failing to get any of them, he was
looked upon as dead, and his wife went into
mourning for him. Time assuages all sor-
rows, and the widow finally welded Mr. r.
P. Semers, on the ID day of MAY. 1867
They lived happily together in all the bliss
Of newly welded life until the l3 of August
last, when Carpenter turned up in Mount
Vernon. The meeting is described as an
affecting one, but slightly embarrassing to
the lovely woman, who found herself thus
Unexpectedly the wife of two men. Now
the romantic thing for each to do was to pine
their miserable souls to death. The Tragical
thing would have been for Carpenter to have
called Seimers out, shoot him with pitch
fork, and then disemboweled himself with
butcher knife, sinking back into the arms of
the twice-wedded, muttering Cordelia--
Cor-COr-delia," and flop over on his back
after the style of stage villains
But these three, not being romantically or
tragically inclined, met together, and, con-
sulting with their friends, concluded that
the best way would be for them to emarry
as quickly as possible. So on Saturday last,
the 10th inst, Mrs. c. sued for and obtain.
ed a divorce, (the Circuit Court being in
session. The County Clerk then issued
license to Mr.. Seimers, and he again mar
ried Mrs. Carpenter. She, before asking
for the bill, signed away her right of the
dover in Carpenters estate. Poor Carpen
ter feels slightly peaked" and is about to
return to Mississippi. All the parties are
of the highest respectability, and the affair
has made quite stir in Jefferson county.

No CHANCE.--When DR.. Frankln's mo-
ther in-law discovered that the young man
had hankering for her daughter, the good
old lady said she did not know so well about
giving her daughter to printer; there were
already two printing Offices in the United
States, and she was not certain the country
would support them. 1t was plain young
Franklin would depend for support on the
profits of third, and this was rather a
doubtful chance. If such an objection was
urged to a would be son.in.law when there
were but two printing Offices in the United
States, how can printer hope to get a wife
now, when the present census shows the
number to be many thousands.

FANNY FERN ON FARMERS WIyEs-Fan-
ny Fern is eloquent on the subject of farmers
wives. She says:
Next to being minister's wife | should
dread being the wife of a farmer. Some
times, indeed, the terms are synOnvmOus.-
Raising children and chickens, ad iatiHitum,
making butter, cheese, bread ana omni.
present pie cutting, making and mending
the clothes for whole household, not to
speak of doing their washing and ironing
taking care of the pigs and the vegetable
garden; making winter apple sauce by the
barrel, and picking of myriads of cucum-
bers; drying fruits and herbs; putting all
the twins through the measles. whooping
cough, mumps, scarlet fever, and chicken
pox, besides keeping perpetual fever OF
hot grease on the kitchen table, in which is
to float potatoes, carrots, onions, and turnlps
for the ravenous maws of the farm hands.
Now your farmer is round, stalwart COM
Portable animal. There is no baby wailing
at his pantaloons while he pl0ws or makes
fences. He lies down under the nearest tree
and rests, or sleeps, when be can no longer
work with profit. He comes in to his dinner
with the appetite of hyena and the diges-
ton of a rhinoceros, aud goes forth again to
the hay field till called home to supper
There is his wife, and too often with the
same frowsy head with which she rose in the
morning, darting hither and ,hither FIR
whatever is wanted, or helping the hungry
children or the farm hands. After the sup
per is finished comes the dish washing, and
milking, and the thought for to- o-morrow's 5
breakfast; aud then perhaps all night she
sleeps with one eye open for a baby or
sick child, and rises again to pursue the
same unrelieyed treadmill wearing round
the next day.
