Miscellany.


s The hotel and clearinghouse keepers have
an association and publish confidential cir
cular once a month, describing persons who
have defrauded them. One of these circulars
fell into my hands not long ago, and is GER
tainly curious document. 1t reads some
thing like this:
) A. A, Englishman, about thirty
years old, slightly bald, black moustache and
goatee, scar on left cheek, generally wears
+ black suit, has diamond pin and carries gold
headed cane, dead-beat generally"
G. D., Virginian, sandy beard and curly
hair; lisps alittle and has lost second finger
OF left hand; carries a six shooter and says he
has rich uncle in Richmond; never pays
anything" Of course the circular puts board
ing house keepers on their guard, and as the
swindling individuals are minutely described,
they can be detected and told that house is
full when they apply for board. The circular
generally describes twenty or thirty persons
every month and it has been published two
or three years, there is pretty good test Of
boarding house beats. Some of these gentry
may be surprised at the refusals TO accommo-
date them, as they are supposed to be in bliss
ful ignorance of the way people are put on
their guard against them. To prevent possi-
BILE suits for libel the person reporting de-
faulter is requested to state his case in writ
ing and become responsible for his state
ment.-N. Y. Correspondence Rochester

DOMESTIC TURKISH BBTHs.-A Feat little
Turkish bath might be introduced into our
homes to great advantage. r. N. writes to
Human Nature how to make the domestic
bath. He says: I'm reference to the further
adoption of the Turkish bath, ANALYSIS has
satisfactorily proved that perspiration con-
tains in itself the component parts of the ex-
cretions OF both the kidneys and the lungs
How great, then, must be the remedial pow
er OF the bath in arrangements of these or
gans. Then, like all true remedies, it is good
Tor the healthy as well as the sick-both pre-.
ventiye and remedial.
A small bath, good but not costly, NAV be
fitted thus: A chamber six feet square, with
a small brick furnace fixed from the outside,
the hre-hole projecting into it, and if possible
on level with the floor, covered with cast
iron plates 0ne-half inch thick, and over
these one malleable iron plate, six feet eight
inches by two feet by one-fourth of an inch,
which will not break like cast-iron with the
heat; the maleable plate to be danged down
each side with angle iron, say three inches
deep, which will be sunk into the brick-work.
While the end will go four inches into the
walls OF the chamber. You will thus get a
heating surface of six feet by two feet. which
with no great expense of fuel, win give you a
heat OF from $50 to 160 degrees. Ventilators
and good-sized window are also wanted
There, at low temperature, you can sit and
read or write, with the advantage of the sun
light playing on your body, the beneficial eff
fects OF which have been acknowledged since
the time that the Greeks planted their no. "
sun walks.
My own bath resembles the above in all
respects, saving that it is twelve feet long.
and is divided by curtain hung midway: !:
this both imparts an air of comfort to the
place and gives you the advantage of differ
ent temperatures.-Herdld Of Health.

A Two CENT Doc.
lFrom the Richmond .1ournal


yesterday afternoon a two cent dog
sprang from an alley, closely followed by q
five cent brick. Rounding the corner al
right angles, he came in contact with the
feet OF Ouch woman who was carrying a
jug OF m0lasses in one hand and basket oil
eggs in the other. The sudden collision of the
dog with her lower extremities threw her
from her feet, and she sat down upon the
basket of eggs, at the same time breaking the
Jug OF mollasses upon the pavement. A
young gentleman, csrpet-bag in hand, anxious
10 catch the train, was running close behind,
and stepping upon the fragments of the jug
and its contents, sat doTu on the chest OF
the Dutch woman, who said, Mine Got"
The young man said something about mad
dog, but in the excitement said it backwards.
In the meantime the dog had run against the
feet OF team of horses, attached to q load of
potatoes, and they taking fright, started for
home. The end board being out, they unload
ed the potatoes along the street as they went.
Crossing the railroad track, the wagon caught
in the rails and tore one of them from its
place. A freight train coming along few
moments later, was thrown from the track
smashing up dozen cars, and killing thirty
or torty hogs. The horses on reaching home
ran through the barn yard and overturned a
milk pail, the contents of which another two
cent dog licked up One of the horses having
broken his leg, was killed this morning, and
the other is crippled for lite. 1t is now a moot
ed question whether the man who threw the
brick at the two cent dog, or the man who
owns it, is responsible for the chapter of acci-
dents which followed. Some think. they do.'

WHERE THEY ALL CAME FRoM.-While
Tom Corwin was member of the General
Assembly OF the State of Ohio, he brought
in bill for the abolition of public punish
ment at the whippingpost. He made a
speech thereon, 10 which an elderly gentle
man replied as follows:
Mr.. speaker, the gentleman is not as old
as am, and has not seen as much OF the
practical operation of the system of punish
ment which he desires to abolish. When I
lived IN Connecticut, if fellow stole horse
or cut up any other rusties, we used to tie
him right up, and give him a real good
threshin', and he always cleared right out,
and we never saw anything more of him. It's
the best way of getting rid of rogues that
ever was tried, and without expense to the
State"
Corwin rose in reply: "Mr. Speaker, ]
have been often puzzled to account for the
vast immigration from Connecticut to the
West, but the gentleman last up has explain
ed it to my entire satisfaction"
The bill passed without further discussion

ROMANCE OF THE CREvAssE.-A romance
OF the Chico Noir crevasse is told in the New
Orleans papers. The belle of neighboring
country-seat ON the banks of the river was
assiduonsly courted by two young gentlemen,
to one of whom she gave her heart, but to
the other her parents insisted upon giving
her hand. She vainly demonstrated, but the
day was fixed, and the party assembled, and
the unfortunate girl, in bewildered and
half unconscious state, compelled to "stapd
up" for the ceremony. just as the clergy
man approached that part of the service
which required her assent, there came a
roar and crash. The river had burst its
banks close to the house. The guests fled in
terror, the bride tainted before she had said
II wiIl,n and the rejected suitor, rushing in,
carried her of, and before night hae her safe
~ married. The other. who had promised on
his parti to love and cherish, without receiv-
Ing the reciprocal pledge, thinks of prosecu.

Important Certificate.
speedy Cure of Whooping Cough |.
j. w. PEcKETF, ESQ, Brooklxn. N Y.


I am not in the habit of taking advertised mcdi-
cncs nor OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation, bnt l feel con-
strained to make an exception in 4ayor OF DoDDs
NERvINE and lnyigorator, medicine 1 have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough ior
several weeks, and was SO much broken oil rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss otseep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies palliatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice TO Dodd's Nerve, This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the commissions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed. Tie first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less ire
quent, and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
was left Of the whooping cough thereafter OF
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Neryine and Inyigorator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. l may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends in
like circumstances, and have found it in every
to be equally successful 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.
