COOP SENSE AND TABLE ErTIQUTEE
-Harper's Bazaar says:

COOP SENSE AND TABLE ETTIQUTEE
-Harper's Bazar says:
Among the rules Of social etiquette,
many of which are undoubtedly trihing,
a good number viii be found to be
based on a sound common sense. Con-
sider, for example, that rule Of the
dinner-table: Do not ask twice for
soup. This appears, at first sight, both
silly and arbitrary. 1t is, however, q
very sensible ordinance, and is to be
justified by the laws of health and the
general comfort and convenience. The
soup, being fluid substance, can essl-
/ " be absorbed in small quantities, and,
| thus taken, is a good preserVatiTe for
the solidities of the dinner. II, how
ever, the stomach is deluged with 1t
the appetite and digestion teeome
weakened, and there is neither the in
cliuation to eat nor the power to digest
the more substantial food essential to
the due nutrition of the body. As for
the convenience or comfort Of the
single-plate rule, no one can deny It
who has looked upon an array Of
hungry guests, whose eager appetite
for the coming roast is compelled to an
impatient delay by some social monster
capable of asking for soup twice. The
cook, in the mean time, is, Of course,
] thrown out in his calculations, and the
dish, when it does come at last is
either spoiled by overlooking, or cold
from being withdrawn 50 long from the
FIRE. The guests are thus not only
tried in temper by prOtracted sxpeeta-
ton, but baked of their anticipated en-
joyment. The advantage of not put
ting the knife in the mouth viii be
obvious, we suppose, to all who are
conscious that one can cut and the
other is capable of being cut There
| is an excellent chemical reason for that
other table rule which f0rbids the use
Of a knife Of steel with the fish, the
ordinary sauces of which combine with
that metal, and produce composition
neither wholesome nor appetizing.

The Earthquake at New
Madrid Missouri.


This phenomenon, which occurred
in the Mississippi Valley during the
winter of lsII-I2, has been called to
the recollections of aged citizens by
the recent CONFUSION of nature in
California. The accounts given at the
time state that the land, both above
and below New Madrid, was sunk
several feet and covered with water.
The shocks were accompanied by loud
explosions, and chasms were opened IN
the ground, from which volumes of
water and steam were discharged.
Islands in the Mississippi river were
sunk and the current of the stream
was driven back for several hours, for
a distance of eighteen miles, and over
flowed the adjacent land. About one
half of New Madrid county and the
village of New Madrid were submer-
ged, one of the lakes formed being
sixty miles long and several miles wide.
The earth arose in great undulations,
and when they reached a certain
height, the soil burst and vast columns
of sand, water and a substance resemb-
ling coke were thrown out 1t may be
recollected that during the rebellion
the Union forces turned the position Of
Island No. 10 on the Mississippi river,
by the construction of a canal in one
of the chasms formed by the earth
quake of 1911, below New Madrid.
Earthquakes are sad to be very
common in a region of country embra-
cling southeastern Missouri, northern
Arkansas and the Indian territory.
Among the Ozark mountains there are
several extinct volcanoes, and one is
said to have shown symptoms of activ-
ity within the last three years. The
hot springs in the Indian territory are
continually exhibiting connection with
the internal fires of the earth.

Making sanerkraut.

As several ladies, within the past
two weeks have desired US to re-pub-
lish our recipe for making this much
esteemed dish by many persons we
hereby comply with their request, in
order that it may be in time for this
years crop of cabbages. It is this:
In the first place, let your ''stand,"
holding from half barrel to a barrel,
be thoroughly scslded out; the cutter,
the tub and the st4mper also well
scalded. Take of the outer leaves of
the cabbage, halve the head, remove
the heart and proceed with the
cutting.
Lay some clean leaves at the bottom
of the stand sprinkle with a handful
of salt, film half bushel of the cut
cabbage, stamp gently until the juice
jqst makes its appes rance, then add
another handful of salt, and so on un-
tit the stand is full Cover over with
cabbage leaves, place on the top a
clean board fitting the space pretty well,
and on top of that a stone weighing
twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand away
in cool place, aud when hard freezing
comes on, remove to the cellar. It
will be ready for use in from four to
six weeks. The cabbage should be
cut tolerably coarse. The Savoy
variety makes the best article, but it
is only half as productive as the Drum
head and Flat Duteh.-Germ7HtolVn

Family Religion.

The United Presbyterian throws out
a hint on this point that deserves con-
sideration:
We need all through this country
more truly religious families. We have
many men and women, who go to
church aud are diligent in attending to
church matters, who fail of making
their houses Bethels, distinguished BY
the devotions that are there rendered
to God. There is a looseness in family
management nowadays that must be
very striking to those whose memories
run back to the practices of past gen.
GRAFTON.
Indeed, family worshipis not half 50
universal among Christians as it was in
times past; and where it is kept up,
there is a IghtDess and carelessness
about it, in many instances, that would
have been shocking to our more devout
fathers. All the restraints of home are
Iloosened, aud as a consequence, there is
not that pious influence radiating from
Christian homes, that was so efficient
half century since. The Sabbath is
looked upon more as a dav of reeres-
ton and carnal enjoyment than as a
time for devotion, and church attend
ance as an act of propristy rather than
as a duty we owe to God.
We are not prepared to say what is
the cause of all this Possibly there
| is no one cause which is ehafgeable
with producingS4 all. Very likely it
is due to the general RELAXATION we
Ifnd on ali haAds, and the disposi-
ton that exists toFmake religion asnear
of kiwApossible to the pleasures and
| lgratiffeAiohS of. common world hness-
| 1t Is soAAsti.fss said that our modern
modes of Christian activity have some
thing to dGEith it. We strive to do
nearly all id;the church. We organize
societies; sta'6 agencies, geeup various
organizatidrF, and by means of them
| try to do every thing. The children
are taken from home, and their train
ling is given into the -.hands of stran.
gers, and parents feel free from much
of their responsibility. The Bible
C lass and Prayer-mesting are intended
to instruct young aud old in the doc
trine of divine truth, and afford op
portunities for relating Christian expe
rience and sharpening up religious faith
The various meetings of one kind o.
another are all for the purpose of do
ing, by wholesale, what was once
effected by private effort.

From the WeTlsvile [Columbianl Union.l
A Strange Discovery.

A queer exhumatiOn was made IN the
Strip Vein Coal Bank of Capt Lacy, at
Hammoudsville, Ohio one day last week.
Mr.. James Parsons and his two sons
were engaged in making the bank, when
a huge mass Of coal fell down, disclosing
a large smooth, slate wall, upon the
surface of which were found, carved in
bold relief, several lines of hieroglyphics.
Crowds have visited the place since the
discovery, and many good scholars have
tried to decipheT the characters, but
all have failed.
Nobody has been able to tell in what
tongue the words are written. Here is
a chance for some of our learned East
ern Professors. How came the myster-
ious writing in the bowels of the earth,
where probably no human eye has ever
penetrated By whom, and when was
it written? There are several lines,
about three inches apart, the first line
containing twenty-five words. Attempts
have been made to remove the slate
wall and bring it out but upon tapping
upon the wall it gave forth a sound
that would seem to indicate the exist
ence of hollow chamber beyond, and
the characters would be destroyed in
removing it At last accounts, DR..
Hartshorn, ofMount Union College, had
been sent for to examine the writing.

FREMONT. SANDU8KY COUNTY. OHIO FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1868

Lizzie turned away, and presently
her mother going to the window, saw
her swinging under the tree. In about
half an hour she reappeared and said,
Mamma, will you please give me
something to eat!'
Take anything you please, replied
her mother; and Lizzie helped herself
to a generous slice of fruit-cake.
The morning hours dragged heavily
along to the little girl. She tried one
occupation after another, but found that
play alone was not desirable, and would
have been glad if her mother had given
her some work. But she was too
proud to acknowledge herself wrong,
and ask for it.
After dinner she said, 1 guess 1 will
20 to school this afternoon, but don't be
worried if 1 don't get home till tea-time.
i very WE'LL said her mother, smiling
quietly.
After school some of Lizzie's friends
said to her, Come with US and wade in
the brook YOU don't know what fun
we have
| Lizzie hesitatsd. Something within
told her she ought not to 90, but sitting
the little voice, she hurried after the
girls. Yet somehow she did not enjoy
herself as much as she expected. The
girls were rough and spsttered water
over her, and at last, one of the larger
girls, iust for the fun of it, pushed her
over into the water. Then she began
to cry, and the girls called her a cry
baby and told her to run home 10 hel
mother. This she did willingly, and
Just before dark her mother saw a very
forlorn little girl coming with her wei
clothes hanging closely about her.
What do you suppose her mother did
then9 Did she tell Lizzie that she
would not help her-that she had done
Just as she pleased all day, and that she
might do Just as she pleased about get
ting warm and dryY No, indeed; she
took the little girl up tenderly, changed
her wet clothes for dry ones, and gave
her a nice hot supper, and then muffleC
| her up warm and cozy, in her little
bed. But as she was bending over hel
for her goodnight kiss, Lizzie threw
her arms around her neck and said: :
think it was real good in God to give
little girls mammas to take care of them
for they know so much more thar
children; and 1 mean always after thi
to do just what you want me to do

clusion for her to come to, think, don

Cling Close 10 the Rock

A long train of cars, fourteen or
fifteen, we're recently passing over the
Allegheny Mountains, on their way
Eastward. They were crowded with
passengers. AS the iron horse snorted
and rushed on, they began to descend
and needed no power but the invisible
power of gravitstion to send them down
with terrific swiftness. Just as the pas
seugers began to realize their situation,
they came to a short curve cut out of
the solid rock, a wall of rock lying on
each side. Suddenly the steam whistle
screamed as if in agony, "Put on the
brakes, put on the brakes" but with no
apparent slackenfng ofthe cars. Every
window flew open, and every head that
could be was thrust out to see what the
danger was, and every one rose up in
their places, fearing sudden destruction.
What was the troublel
Just as the engine began to turn in
the curve, the engineer saw a little girl
and her baby brother playing on the
track. In moment the cars would be
upon them. Th3 shrek of the whistl q
startled the little girl, and every one
looking over could see them. Close TO
the track in the upright rock was little
liche, out of which piece of rock had
been blasted. In an instant the baby
was thrust into this niche, and as the
cars came laundering by, the passen=
gers, holding their breath, heard the
clear voice of the little sister, on the
other side of the cars ring out selling
close to the rock, Johnny, cling close to
the rock r And the little creature
snuggled in, and put mis- head as close
to the corner of the rock as possible,
while the heavy cars whirled past him.
And many were the moist eyes that
gazed, and silent thanksgiving went
up to heaven.

WONDERFUL SroRY (rF TRUEl-

WoNDERFUL STORY (R TRUE).-A
wonderful story is in circulation in this
town this morning about a man, at
0risfeld, who has been stricken down
for blasphemy. The story runs thus:
The man 1--WE can't learn the name) on
Sunday last started of very early to
60 fishing. His wife tried to persuade
him not to 90, insisting he would be
violating the law of God by so doing.
The man remarked that he could 90
and ''catch mess of fish before Jesus
Christ was awake" and proceeded to
the Annamessix River On arriving at
the shore he sank down in the sand up
to his neck, where he still remains, not
withstanding every effort made to ex-
tricate him by digging away the sand.
This has been done, and his boots cut
to free his feet, but he still remains
there as inextr;cable as ever.
Mr.. Wilson, our telegraph agent at
Clayton, sent a telegram last night to
learn the facts in the case, and the
operator at Chrisield replied that they
we're as stated above. The greatest
excitement is reported to prevail there.
We give the item as furnished By
the railroad employees here, without
vouching for it in any way. 1t beats
the ghost story.-Smyrna ( Va. Times.
