COLDS IN THE HEAD.-The change in the
weather has produced many s'bad colds''
in the head. A celebrated physician of
France has discovered new method for
curing this prevailing malady. Here is
the prescription: .s
1t consists in inhaling through the nose
the emanations of ammonia contained in a
smelling bottle. 1t the sense of smell is
completely obliterated, the bottle should be
kept under the nose until tbe..pungency of
the volatile alkali is felt. The bottle is then
removed. but only to be reapplied after a
minute; the second application, however.
should not be long, that the patient may
bear it. This easy operation being repeat
I'd seven or eight times in the course of
i've minutes, but always very rapidly, ex-
cept the first time, the nostrils become
| Tree, the sense of smell is restored, and the
| secretion of the irritating mucus is stop
ped, The remedy is said to be particular
| ~ advantageous to singers.

The BLACKBURN CAsE.-On yesterday a
special grand Jury was impanelled and
sworn to examine into such cases as may be
brought before them. 1t is thought that
the jury has been more particularly called
in the case of Blackburn, charged with
fraud. and that of Harris and Beatty, the
two negroes charged with the murder of
John Long.
In the Blackburn case. the newspaper
paragraphs woke the Attorney General up
to the necessity of complying with the de-
mands of the people, that this should net
be permitted to go by default as other cases
were, and hence the special grand jury.
The jury is compose as follows: Rankin
Walkup, Foreman; Henry Obetz, J. J. Fun

Bennett Thompson, Philip Schwartz, j Jas. W.
Barbee, Isaac Eberly, John Saul, o. P.

IT CAN'T BE RUE-SUPERABUNDAN
VERDANoY.-The Cincinnati Inquirer tells
the following story A few days since a
newly welded couple from the interior of
the State arrived at the Burnett House and
took apartments for the night at that we'll
ordered hotel. 1t was quite evident that the
whole party were unfamiliar with metro
politan sights. The rooms, corridors, mar.
BILE floor and gorgeous drawing room and
well spread table of the hotel drew from them
the most ingenious remarks of SURPRISE
In the evening they visited the opera house,
and were so astonshed at its magnifcence
that even Mrs Walier's wonderful imper.
sonation of T" Meg Merrilles" almost failed
to interest them. Nothing more was thought
of the verdant pair till about O'Clock in the
morning, at which time the boot black of the
Burnett House, in making his customary
rounds, observed the Benedict seated in the
hall near the door of his room. He naiyely
asked the polisher of the understandings If
he was the clerk. Receiving a negative
answer, he informed the boot black that he
should like to see that individual. In few
moments the attentive office man was at his
side, and politely asked what was wanted
Couldn't you make me bed in the par
lor?' cried the disconsolate individual. In
VIZ PuAAOi. CCupCu luC Ill
not. Well, I'd like to have one spread
down somewhere Why don't you go into
your own room?' asked the clerk. Il don't
like to- said the bashful young man. why,
what is the matter p continued the clerk
Has your wife turned you out of your
room p No. said he, drawling, 'but you
see haven't never been married before, and
so l don't much like to go in, PARTICULAR Y in
a strange place oh go right in said
the clerk she won't think it wrong"
Here the door of the room opened about an
inch and through the aperture came voice,
coaxingly saying DO come in, John, l
won't hurt you. know'd they'd think
strange of yer standing out there Come in
now, won't yer? I've blowed out the gas
and it's all dark in here"
The odor of the room assured the clerk
that she had, indeed, blowed out the gas
so, pushing open the door, he stopped the
flow, and raised the window, and returnedt
the hall to persuade the verdant husband t,
retire with his wife. All arguments were
fruitless, however, and he was compelled to
assign the simple individual a separate room
than his wife was in that night"

A PLoT FOR MELoDRAMA-A Madrid
letter in the Independence Beige quotes q
curious story from an Albacete journal !:
" A short time since two soldiers on fur
Tough obtained shelter at respectable house
in village near Alant, although the mas.
ter was from home and only the mistress
and female servant in care. In the eve.
ming the soldiers retired to the barn to sleep.
The night was not far advanced when a
knock came to the door, and the lady of the
house, not doubling but that it was her hus.
band, opened it. Two men in masks rushed
in, and, with daggers displayed demanded
a large sum of money. The soldiers were
awakened by the noise, and came speedily
to the house. They were attacked by the
robbers, but, being armed, the latter had the
worst of it, and were both soon stretched
dead by pistol shots. A few minutes after
the master of the house returned, but tho
soldiers, reasonably supposing that he might
be an accomplice of the malefactors, refused
to admit him, unless he brought the authori-
ties with him. lie was therefore forced to 90
for the Mayor, bat the latter was from home
the Mayors substitute was also absent but
two gendarmes went back with the gentle
man, and the soldiers at once let them in.
The facts were speedily related, and what was
the surprise felt when, ON uncovering the
faces of the robbers, they were recognized
as those of the Mayor and his substitute.

An OLD TELEGRAPH OPERATOR on THE
WEATHER.-The Cincinnati Commercial pub
fishes the following letter. The fact to
which it calls attention is curious;
As a matter of interest to your readers
who notice weather reports from the West. |
will state that in my experience as a tele
graph operator for the past eighteen years, |
have noticed that nine out of every ten
changes in the weather come from the West,
| first noticed this while in Baltimore
Oyster dealers in Cincinnati advised their
correspondents in Baltimore, of any change
in the weather at Cincinnati Eighteen
hours after, we would experience the same
change in Baltimore. During three years
service in the Baltimore Telegraph Office. /
noticed that but one storm came from any
other direction than the west, and that was
the day after the great battle of Mcclellan
before Richmond. The greatest and iercesi
storm ever experienced, came directly from
the South, and on the hypothesis about that
time going the rounds of the press, that q
great storm always succeeded great battle
/ concluded that Mcclellan and Lees
artillery had some thing to do with sending
