 How TO BURN CoA1-Nine out ten who attempted to burn coal in stove waste about as much coal as is necessary to be consumed for the obtaining of all the heat desirable. Observe the following simple. rules, suggested by a cotemporary and few who adopt the burning of coal will return to wood fires. Suppose the stove to be cleaned out:
 First-To make coal fire-put in dou- ble handful of shavings, or use kindling wood instead. Fill the earthern cavity If the stove has one) nearly full of chunks of wood, say four five or six inches in length On the top put about dozen Jumps of egg coal. In ten minutes add twenty more Jumps of coal. As soon as the wood has burned out, fill the cavity half or two-thirds full of coal. The fire will be a good one. The coal will by these directions become thoroughly ignited, .....
 Second-Never fill stove moro than half or two-thirds full of coal; even in the coldest weather. z44 ,.s.--4s--.p .s-as
 Third-When the fire is, low never shake the grate or disturb the ashes but add from ten to fifteen small Jumps of coal and set the draft open. When they are heated through and somewhat ignited, add the amount necessary for new fire, but do not disturb the ashes yet Let the draft be open half an hour. Now shake out the ashes. The coal will be thoroughly igni- ted and will keep the stove at high heat from six to twelve hours, according to the coldness of the weather.
 Fourth-For very cold weather. After the fire is made according to rules first and third, add, every hour, twelve or twenty Jumps of coal. You will find that the ash- es made each hour will be in about that rate .,

Two nice young men from Mittineague made a ludicrous mistake in Westfeld, Mass, Q few nights since Driving up to building which they supposed to be ho- tel, they asked accommodations for the night, and ordered the man who met them to put up their horse They thought he acted queer about it, and the man thought they were trying to insult him. It was some time before the mutual misunder- standing was explained, and the chaps found that instead of stopping at hotel, they had tried to get lodgings in the town poor house.

EXCITING SCENE IN A MENAGERIE. A re- markable attempt to shift huge, black maned Sahara lion from cage to a den built to hold him at a menagerie in Scarbo- rough, England, was only successful after several hours hard work. William Cross, the hon-tamer, was summoned from Liver pool and at last the lion was securely den ned. While he was receiving the congrat- ulations of the people around him, he in advertently laid hold of one of the bars of the den. In moment the huge animal sprang from his crouching position, and to the consternation of all beholders, seized the hand of MT. Cross in his mouth. It is impossible accurately to describe the scene at this juncture-fear seemed to possess every one present Several strangers who had been specially invited to witness the shifting, magnifed the accident to Mr. Cross to an escape of the lion out of his cage; thus, filled with fear, they rushed out of the menagerie with great trepidation. The lion still held MT. Cross fast by the hand, nor could he be induced to let go of his hold, although tempting junks of beef and cows hearts were thrown into his cage But the most surprising part of all was; that, during the whole time each was try ing to attract the attention of the lion from him, MT. Cross appeared not the least disturbed, with his eye fixed upon his cap tor, he seemed to be watching and waiting patiently for some expected opportunity Finding the lion determined to retain his hold, and the pain becoming very severe, MT. Cross asked one of the keepers to hand him small iron bar he was holding ready for use. With this MT. Cross succeeded in striking the brute terrible blow between the eyes. The enraged animal sprang back with snort, tearing away the flesh from his hand, and mutilating one finger so se- riously that at one time it was thought that amputation was absolutely necessary, and was recommended; but MT. Cross, with coolness in him characteristic, refused all surgical aid, thinking he was sufficiently cut up already, and wrapping his mutilated limb in wet cloths, walked out of the me- nagerie as if no accident had happened to him, and returned as soon as possible to Liverpool.

We once heard a professional friend tell how the burglars broke into his office one night. They left evident marks of having rummaged the premises pretty thoroughly; but there was really nothing worth carry ing off-and after putting things into general disorder, they departed d-apparent- ly in haste, since they left behind them sev- eral reams of excellent paper and 8 roll of broadcloth, which the lawyer found very servlceable Here is another case in which 8 thief got the worst end of the bargain:

The PapaI States.

Dispatches from Rome state that the
Pope had fainting fit on Sunday the 9th
of December, while at mass in the Sistine
Chapel.
1t is said that frequent councils Of
Bourbon partisans are held at the Farnese
Palace under the presidency ofthe Marquis
d'Ulloa.
The correspondent Of the Pail Mall
Gazette, writing from Rome on the 9th OF
December, says:
"Thc evacuation of Rome by the French
is almost completed. Yesterday General
de Failly obtained an audience of the
Pope to take leave, and was graciously re.
ceived by the Holy Father, who bestowed
on him his beucdiction and the material
recompense of the grand Gordon of the
Order of Plus TX.
"The evacuation has greatly mortified
the French officers, who rather hoped tc
come into collision with the Italian army
and it is to be feared that all remembrance
of the brotherhood of the campaign Of
1869 has evaporated on both sides. Ger
tainly the French speak as bitterly OF the
Italians as of the Prussians."

Anna at the Head.
HAVANA, December 26.-The steamer
Virginia, from Vera Cruz on the goth, via
Sisal the 23d, with dates from the City of
Mexico of the 10th, has arrived.
There was much misery throughout the
country, in consequence of disorganization
and exhaustion, resulting from the war.
The people were compelled by hunger to
resort to brigandage.
Peace had been reGstablished at Topic,
and several of the Perote prisoners had
been liberated.
The revolution in Yucatan was assuming
large proportions. Santa Anna had been
proclaimed Dictator, and was hourly ex-
pectcd from Havana with men and mil
lion in money. The fort and town of Sisal
were in the hands of the insurgents, but
the port was blockaded by two Mexican
gunboats. a number Of Imperialist Off
GERS arrived at Sisal from Matamoras on
tho 10th. The coast was closely watched
to prevent the landing of forces for the
rebels. The Mexican steamer Tabaco was
ready to sail from Vera Cruz for the scene
of revolution with 500 men. and artillery.
Santa Anna is still in Havana.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, December 81
Nicholas Davis, prominent Radical O
North Alabama, has published letter
fully endorsing the address of the protest
ing members of the Convention against the
proposed constitution.
The Huntsville advocate, the Radica,
organ, calls for the reassembling of the
Convention to modify the Objectionable
features of the proposed constitution
namely, the clause about schools and the
franchise and registration oaths. That
paper says:
elf the constitution is not ratified, envi-
roned as we are in almost q state of an.
archy, its adoption can only be accepted as
choice of evils not defended as right and
proper. 1t is still in our power to modify
the evils, and for that purpose we call on
the Convention to come together again.
The Tuscumbia North Alabamian repu-
dates the nominations made by the self
constituted political convention, and the
Huntsville advocate repudiates the nomi-
nations made by the Radical meetings. The
latter says the white Unionists are ignored
and rejected as unsound.
The Conservatives all over the State are
organizing to defeat the constitution. The
whites of North Alabama who went into
the Radical party are leaving it on DC
count of the Objectionable features in the
constitution.

A THRILLING SCENE-S1NGULAR FREAKS
OF INTOXICATED MEN.-On Christmas eve
an occurrence TRANSFERRED near Ellicotts
Mills which might have been very serious
in its consequences. 1t appears that two
gentlemen, considerably under the inhu-
ence of the "ardent," posted themselves
on the railroad track about five hundred
wards this side of the mills, one OF them
making wager that the train would not
pass over the track he was occupying, and
the other, that if it did pass over the track !.
on which he stood he would stop it: Ii
was not long before the cars came thun'
dering along, and one Of the gentlemen
was suddenly snatched up by the cow
catcher and carried, in this perilous POSI-
ton, into Ellicott City. Several persons
along the line of the road were witnesses
of the scene, and concluded that the man
would soon be mangled corpse. hurry
ing to the depot, they there found him, tt
their great surprise, unscathed, and as per
fectly cool as if nothing unusual had trans
pired.-BaHinaor Gazette.
