A Valuable Recipe.

NEURALGIA.-We have cut from
the Alta Californian a receipt for
the cure of neuralgia, which the
editor of that paper claims to have
been effective in several cases of
his own knowledge. He says :
Sometime ago we published, at
the request of friend, receipt
to cure neuralgia: Half q dram
ofsal-ammonia in an ounce of cam
phor-water, to be taken tea spoon
full at a dose, and the dose, repeat
ed several times, at atintervals of five
minutes, if the pain be not reliev-
ed at once, Halfa dozen different
persons have since tried the receipt
and in every case an immediate
cure has been effected. In one,
the sufferer, a lady, had been af-
fected for more than q week,
and her physician was unable to
alleviate her sufferings, when so
luton Of sal,ammonia in camphor-
water relieved her in few min
utes.

Uncompleted Marriage
A Dispute Concerning
the Expected Little
RESPONSIBILITIES"

From the Cincinnati Gazette, February 81
| We learn that a marriage cere-
mony at Father O'Driscoll's Church
ON Sycamore street, on Monday,
was broken off without compile
ton. 1t appears that a Protes-
tant gentleman came to this city
from Virginia some time ago, be-
came introduced into a Catholic
family where there was a daugh-
ter, land that the usual consequences
of the proximity of young persons
of different sexes followed, and
the. parties became engaged.
On Monday the parties appear
ed in church to be married, with
the usual attendance of relatives
and friends and the appointments
of a good match. After a part
of the ceremony had proceeded,
the parties were taken into the
sacristy, where the priest, as is
usual in such mixed marriages,
asked the bridegroom if he prom
ised that the wife should have con-
troll of the religious training of
the children. The man, surpris-
ed, inquired if that was part of
the ceremony, and, was assured
that it was. He objected, but the
priest insisted. He looked to the
woman, but she made no sign
He then positively refused to
make the pledge to give up the
control of his future children,
and left the church. We are
informed that the scene as he
walked out from the room, down
the steps from the altar, and out,
pale but erect and determined,
was striking.

The other day atsPeoria, Ill.,,
two men got into quarrel while
eating breakfast, when one of them
was soundly beaten before any one

minutes later, when his opponent
received him with bucket of
slops, the contents of which be-
ing dashed in his face successfully
closed the "dicussion."

Several women in Detroit the
other day invited amarried woman
against whom they had a grudge,
into a neighbor's house, where
five of her enemies had assembled
for the purpose Of giving her a
sound beating. They were all
armed eitherwith pokers and shov-
els, or sticks of wood. Securing
one ofthe latter, which was thrown
at her, she fought with such ener-
gy that she put the whole five to
flight with bloody noses and crack

There is a profound calculation
in one of the French papers. It's
proposed to start a company in
Paris to dig gold in the cemeteries.
There are buried in Paris every
day more than one hundred and
twenty-five persons. It's reckon
ed that of these at least ten have
auriferous jaws, and that in these
ten there may he an average of ten
auriferous teeth. So the calcula-
ton proceeds, and Paris is threat
ened with resurrection company,

Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arms, oh Queen, support me;
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear
Listen to the grea. heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and vet'ran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wreck'd and scatter'd galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glitt'ring guards surround me,
Proud to do their masters will,
I must perish like Roman
Die, the great Triuuvir still.
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
G. 'Twas no feeman's hand that felld him,
Twas his own that struck the blow
His who, pillow'd on thy bosom,
Turn'd aside from glorys ray
His who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw a world away.
Should the base plebeian rabbls
Dare assail my name at Rome.
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widow'd home,
Seek her; say the gods bear witness,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings,
That her blood, with mine commingled,
Yetshall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorceress of the Nile
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smilei
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine,
I can scorn the Senates triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.

suddenly past me, opened the

"Stop her!w "stop her!" shouted
the detective, springing to his
feet. "She will be killed; conduc-

There was rush-a tumult-

The train was stopped, and a
party of us headed by the conduc-
tor and the detective, went to
search for any trace of the beauti-
full creature, whose loveliness and
apparent innocence had appealed to
my sympathies SO earnestly. Nor
was it long before we found her
lying dead beside the track, fright
fully mangled by the force of the
fall, and mutilated almost beyond
recognition.
"Well, she's escaped justice in

the detective gloomily, as he stood
looking down upon her remains.

pected to be able to spring off the

asked.

Burning Coal.

A Memphis paper gives the toll
lowing plan tor saving fuel, which
may be worthy of trial:
"There is an economy in the use
ofcoal that is not generally known
which may be employed to
great advantage. We allnde to
the consumption of the ashes and
cinders, without sitting, either IN
CRATE or stove, by which one-third,
# not one-half of the fuel may be
saved, without diminishing the
heat. Instead of throwing away the
ashes and cinders, as is universal
ly the case, have water tight YES
sci or box in which they should be
mixed with water until forming
a thick mortar or paste. A few
Jumps of coal fairly ignited, with
a thick layer of this compost super
added will make a first rate tlre,
and will continue to burn SO long
as, or longer, than a CRATE or stove
fire with coal, the luxury OF a
blaze being alone wanting, but
none of the properties of heat
The trouble is trifing and the
whole process, which may be per-
formea in a common ash pan, is not
greater than the removal of the ash
es and casting them out of doors.
The prudent housewife will soon
perceive that she has been throw
ing away the best properties OF
the coal, and this economy pecu-
liarlv addresses itself, to those oc-
cupying rooms above a first floor.

"Is this Taylorsville?"
It was the voice of my pretty
traveller opposite,
"No-I don't know what place
it is; some way station"
"Does this train stop at way sta
tions?"
"Not generally; but they must
have been specially signaled here.
You are cold, my child, your voice

around her. "Oh, l wish they

as he hurriedly passed on.

this answer was not the true solu-
ton of the matter. Our delay

gether too short a time for replen-
ishing tender with water; and
where on earth was the water to

We had continued the conyer-

the conductor now left me to
study the faces of my fellow pas

horror.
Somehow, often as I revolved
the matter in my mind. my fancy
would settle on the coarse, gross
