ssTHE GRECIAN BEND"

The latest ssagony" in the fashionable
world is the tpannier which seems to
have created no little "bustle" among the
fashionable young ladies of our usually
quiet city. The pannier is a new thing.
It is, we believe, q trump" invention, got
ten up expressly and=for no other purpose
than to assist ladies in getting their 'back
up" We had curiosity enough so exam
inc one of these s'infernal machines" 1t is
made of linen, and stuffed with moss, cot.
ton or hair, and padded so as to rest easy,
like saddle-blanket on sore backed
horse. 1t is about 16 inches long one way,
and about 8 or 18 inches the other, and
some are thicker than others with two
tapes attached to tie them about the body,
as you would a saddle on horse. One of
these panniers attached to'a young lady,
together with the new style of dress, is
what gives them the appearance of having
the "Grecian bend" If there is comfort
in these .new-fangied concerns, we "can't
see it :" but we suppose, as they are fash.
ionable, that young ladies will "grin and
bear 1t, and SUBJECT themselves to ail
kinds Of ludicrous remarks on account Of
the "Grecian bend" their bodies will be
subjected to.
These sspannicrs'' will make some young
ladies look rather ''forward," in fact, lean
that way. They will appear as if they had
eaten an overdose of green apples and but
termilk, and were suffering from a fearful
attack Of collie, with slight touch of tooth
ache and an inkling of dyspepsia. The
"Grecian bend" we suppose, will be all ths
"go," for awhile, at least, and we hope viii
not be carried to such extremes as will
make our handsome young ladies look as il
they had been to boarding school for sia
months, and fed ON nothing but dried ap
Piles and hot water. All! young ladies
what next! .
They said you wore your dresses short
To show your pretty feet;
You wore no wells, or bonnets large,
To hide your faces sweet;
And now, because, Dame Fashion chose
A Pannier to you send,
They say you stoop like your grandmas,
And call it "Grecian BEND"

To CLEAN STovEs.-A writer in an En-
glish magazine proposes, instead of black:
leading stoves and CRATES, that they should
be painted with water glass (silicate of pot
ash,) colored with pigment to harmonize
with the coloring Of the apartment. Be-
fore this is applied, the iron must be thor
oughly cleansed from grease, and all rust
spots must be rubbed off with scratch
brush. Two or three coats of the paint
may then be put on and allowed to dry, af;
ter which the fire may be lighted without
fear of injury to the color, which may, in
deed, be exposed to red heat with impuni'
ty. Grease or milk split over the paint
has no effect upon it, and it may be kept
clean by washing with soap and water
Dutch ovens and other similar utensils may
also be coated with the same material, and
the labor spent in polishing them may be
thus saved. A good coating of this paint,
it is said, will last year or two.

KEEPING CARBAGES.

Cabbages in the Spring are great scar.
city, yet there is no reason that they should
not be as plentiful then as in the Fall. On.
ly little care is necessary. We have gen.
orally kept them fresh and crisp through
the Winter, and the plan we have adopted
is this: We dug trench out of doors, a
bout three feet deep, and boxed it all around
with loose boards. In this we put the cab
bages, standing them on end with the roots
downwards, not allowing the heads to touch
The whole was then covered with boards
placing them close enough to keep out thf
wet; the earth was then heaped upon the
top, forming mound of about two feet IL
height. In this state the cabbage kept al
through the Winter in most excellent con
dition. No frost reached them and they
were as fresh in the Spring as when frs
put away.-Frederickton Farmer.

DRYING SWEET POTATOES.

3, Several months ago Rev. G. K. Marshal
of Mississippi, published the following IN
quiry on this subject:
Cannot sweet potatoes, which our soil ant
climate are so wonderfully adapted to pro
duce, be cut up intoslices, andso dried tha
they might be made an article of merchan
disc? Fruits and vegetables have been pre-
pared for shipment, and thus became valu
able crops. IF sweet potatoes can be 81
treated as, to preserve the saccharine mat
ter, and become an article of food, ever
though not so agreeable as the undried roo
in its best condition, they would pay a.
handsomely as any product of the Southern
soil. ~ -. .--.
Bear in mind that where these esculents
grow in the greatest abundance, it is gene
rally remote from transportation, the sol
poor and the people generally poor. II
such districts the potato is raised at smal
cost, and when dried may produce gooe
and valuable article of food, capable of be-
ing transported to any part of the world.
If this can be successfully accomplished
the sweet potato crop of the South NIGH
become as valuable as one-half of her cottor
crop was formerly.
The Maryland Farmer contains reply
from Mr.. Francis H. Smith, Of Baltimore
Nd, the inventor of machine for drying
fruit, &C., called the "Drying Tunnel
He says:
81 have, upon your suggestion, tried thu
experiment with sweet potatoes, and with
perfect success. They are peeled by lit
tie machine, and sliced three-eighths of al
inch thick by another with great rapidity
When dried, they have lost two-thirds theil
weight; are white, and so hinty that the
knife makes but little impression but wher
cooked, steaming is best, they resume theil
original appearance, and are in every res
pect equal to the undried root lin its best
condition 1t has merely parted with wa
ter. The operation is attended with bu'
little expense, and why may it not become
food for the million"
The dry house, in which this experiment
was tried, consisted merely of a room witt
a furnace in it, the heated air from which
rapidly absorbed the moisture from tht
fruits or vegetables to be dried. We sup
pose that the ingenuity of many of our rea
ders will be sufficient to construct frame
work containing drawers or boxes with o
pen slat bottoms, in which sweet potatoes
or fruits for winter and spring use can b.
dried, over an ordinary stove.

THE DROPPING EARS OF ANIMALS.

Our domesticated quadrupeds are all de
scended, as far as known, from those having
erect ears !; few kinds can be named, of which
at least one raceh has not dropping ears. Cats
in China, horses in parts of Russia, sheep
in Italy and elsewhere, the guinea pig ii
Germany, goats and cattle in India, rabbits
pigs, dogs, in all civilized countries, have
dependent ears. With wild animals, which
constantly use their ears like tunnels, tc
catch every passing sound, and especially
to ascertain the direction whence it comes
there is not, as MIR. Blythe has remarked
any species with dropping ears except the
elephant. Hence the incapacity to erect
the ears is certainly, in some manner, the
result of domestication, and this incapacity
has been attributed by various authors, to
disuse, for animals protected by man are not
compelled habitually to use their ears.
Colonel Hamilton Smith states that in
ancient ef6gies of the dogs, "with the ex'
ception of the Egyptian instance, no sculp'
ture of the early grecian era produces rep
reservations of hounds with completely
dropping ears those with them halt pen.
dulous are missing in the most ancient, ano
this character increases by degrees, in the
works of the Roman period" Godron has
also remarked that "the pigs of the ancient
Egyptians had not their ears enlarged and
pendent" But it is remarkable that the
dropping ears, though probably the effect
of disuse, is not accompanied by any de-
crease in size; on the contrary when we re
member that animals so different as fancy
rabbits, certain Indian breeds of the goat
our petted spaniels, bloodhounds, and othel
dogs, have enormously elongated ears, il
would appear as if disuse actually caused al
increase in length. Withrabbits, the droop
ing of the much elongated ears, has affected
even the structure of the skull.

.sPROCEED WITH THY ELEPHANT.''


In Columbia county, Ohio, resides an ole
fellow renowned for his belligerent dsposi
tion, who is generally known as Frlene
Shayey. Born and reared as Quaker Sht
was long since read out of meeting on &C
count of his quarrelsome propensities, bn1
he still pertinaciously clings to the plsir
clothes and the plain language of his ear
ier days, possibly as protection agains
tho wrath which he is continually .progok
ing by his overbearing and irritating de
meanor. He is always the owner of the
crossest dog in the neighborhood, the mos
troublesome, breachery steers, &C., and !:
continually in hot water with some Of hi:
neighbors in consequence of the depreda
tions committed by his unruly live stock
A few weeks since Van Amburgh's Menag

bliged to pass his residence. A littleibe
fore daylight, Nash, the keeper of the Ele
phant Tippo Saib, as he was passing ovel
the road with his elephant, discovered this
pseudo Quaker seated up on q fence by the
roadside, watching a bull which he hae
turned out upon the road, and which was
paving, believing and throwing up tre
mendous dust generally. In fact, from the
fury of the animals demonstrations one
would readily have taken him for one Of
the identical breed that butted the locomo'

Nash, as he approached. :.g...

ed Friend Shavey, rubbing his hands with
delight at the prospect of an approaching
scrimmsge, the old fellow having great con
fdence in the invincibility of his bull, which
was really the terror of the whole country
around. Eppo Saib came on with his un
couth, shambling gait; the bull lowered hi'
head and made charge directly upon the
elephant. Old Tippo without even paus

sweep, catching the bull on the side, crush
ing in his ribs with his enormous tusks ane

GOOD SPELLING.

A pious but illiterate deacon, in Ger.
tain town in Massachusetts,, gave stage.
driver slip of paper, upon which, he said,
were written the names of couple of books
which he wished him to call for at book
store. The driver called at the store, and
handing the memorandum to the clerk, said
"There are couple of books which Deacon
B. wishes you to send him. The clerk
after careful examination of the paper
was unable to make "head or tale" of it
handed it over to the book-keeper, who was
supposed to know something of letters; bu
to him it was also "Greek." The proprie'
tor was called, and he also gave up in des
pair and it was finally concluded best tt
send the memorandum back to the deacon
1t was supposed that he had sent the wrong
paper.
As the coach arrived at the village inn, the
driver saw the deacon standing on the steps
"Well, driver" said he, "did you get my
books to-day?"
"Books No! and good reason why
for there couldn't a man in Worcester reae
your old hen-track."
"Couldn't read 'ritin'? Let me see th'
paper"
The driver drew it from his pocket ant
passed it to the deacon, who, taking out ant
adjusting his glasses, held the memorandum
at arms length, and exclaimed as he did so
in very satisfied tone:
"Why, it's as plain as the nose on you
face. 10 Sam B-u-x-two psalm books !!
I guess his clerks had better go to school {
quarter" ..,
And here the deacon made some reaec
ton upon the Ignorance Of the times" anc
the want of attention to books by the sri
sing generation" which would have beel
all very well if said by some one else'
