The New Orleans Picd51fHe tells the
following: "The partIality of the
darkey for the sun is prOverbial. At
MONDAY, with the fierce rays shining
down on his bare head, the mOsqui-
toes singing around him and the flies
making amOrOus dalliance with his
nose and lips, he sleeps and dreams.
One old darkey in the Fourth district
has daily, for months past, selected
the doorstep of a prominent residence
for his nOOn-day nap. Being driven
Off one day he comes the next. With
his head thrown back and his mouth
wide open, he snores away to the ex-
.ceeding discontinue of the inmates.
Called TO the door by this disagreeable
diapasOn q few days since, the lady Of
the house concluded she would try an
experiment. For this purpose she
procured a small piece Of ice, and
dropped it into the huge Orifice that
served as SambO's mouth. It disap-
peared like a shot, and with a cough
and q snort, Sambo started to his feet.
Ugh y ne cried, as the ice sent violent
thrills through his stomach, What
disn and his fingers clutehed nervous
ly the afflicted parts. Just then some
one cried out in the house that a big
rat had run down Uncle SANS
throat. This added terror to his pain.
He rolled on the banqustte, and cried
Justify for help. Fore God, AIissus,
he's gnawing Out'n me, I feels him.
Oh golly, he's kiln me- and the
whites Of the darkey's eyes prOtrud-
ing like saueers, and the cOnvulsed
and anguished face showed that real
pain was strongly enhanced by his
terror. oh, gOlly, how he
do jump and kick about, and SambO
again gave himself up to q parOxysm
Of lamentatiOn. Drink warm water,
Uncle Sam, and drown him, the lady
Without moments hesi- |
-atiOn Sam started for the water plug. |
He turned on the crank and the water /
started. Sam glued his lips to the .
nozzle until his sides were pulled out /
ike an inflated balloon. How do you /
feel now, Uncle Sam? the lady in
luired, as Sam staggered back to his
seat. i guess he's drowned, AIissus
but here's what's troubling this chile:

A Woman,s Friendship.

II Is q WOnQrOuS advantage TO man,
in every pursuit or avOcatiOn, to Sc
cure an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is at once a subtle
delicaey Of tact and plain soundness
Of judgment which are rarely eOmbin-
ed to an equal degree in man. 4 wO-
man, if really your friend, viii have
a sensitive regard for your character,
honor and repute. She will seldom
counsel you to DO shabby things, for q
woman friend always desires to be
proud of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend.
She therefore seldom cOunsels YOU to
an imprudent thing. A mans best
female friend is a wife Of good sense
and heart, whom he loves, and who
loves him. But sUppOsing the man to
be without such a helpmate, female
he must still have, or his
intellect will be without a garden;
there will be an unelOsed gap, even in
It's strongest fence. Better and safer,
of course, is such friendship where
of years or circumstances
puts the idea of love out of the ques-
ton. Middle life has rarely this adj
vantage; youth and old age have.
We may have female friendships with
those much older, and those much
younger, than ourselves. Female
is to a man the bulwark,
sweetness, and ornament of his ex-
istenee.

SuLPHuR IN COAL GAS.

DIR. w. Odling, Fullerian Professor
of Chemistry at the Royal Institution,
in a lecture delivered on the ID OF
June, shows most eonclusiYely the
sulphur bug-bear to be all mOonshine.
| He says: II am altogether at issue
with the public when they maintain
that the sulphur of gas produces, by
its combustion, oil Of vitriOl, or that
the amount of sulphur ordinarily con-
tanned in gas is Of any consequence
whatever, and a little consideration
will, / think, satisfy you of the sound
ness of this position. We will assume
that coal gas contains not 20, but 40
grains of sulphur in 100 feet, a quanti-
ty at any rate greatly exceeding the
reality. Now, making another ex-
traYagant assumption, that the whole
of these 40 grains of sulphur would be
completely burned-and in reality
they would be burned very incom-
pletely-they would furnish by their
combustion so grains Of sulphurOus
acid gas. The quantity of the pro-
duced sulphurous acid would occupy,
at ordinary temperatures, about 1-15th
part of a cubic foot; and since 100
cubic feet of our coal gas gives 1-15th
of a cubic foot of sulphurOus acid,
1,5OO feet of coal gas would be requir-
ed to furnish one cubic foot of the
acid, even upon the extravagant as
sumption we have purpOsely made
But the combustion of 500 feet of
coal gas would produce something be-
sides sulphurous acids. 1t would pro-
duce at least l, 900 cubic feet Of carbon
ic acid, and, in addition to its dilutiOn
with other gases and vapOrs, we would
have our sulphurOus acid diluted by
/ 900 times its volume Of carbonie
acid. Now, if we can get at the pro-
portion of earbOnic acid in the at
mOsphere of a room highly illumina-
ted with gas, and take the thOusandth
part of that proportion, we shall be
able to form some notion Of the
amount of sulphUrOus acid present.
You will remember that the amount
of carbOnic acid furnished by two g.
feet gas burners, and that the maxi
mum amount of carbOnic found in
the atmosphere of a crowded theatre
was o 80 per cent. Now, if in sddi-
ton to our previous unreasonable sup
positions, we further suppose that an |
contains 0:2 per cent. Of |
acid furnished by gas COM |
bustiOn, you will see that the whole |
matter becomes a reddotiO dd dbsttr- |
that We might actually have /
one half-milliOnth part Of sulphurous
acid present in the air of a gas lighted /

H0K RNGLIsH KOMEN PAINT.

It is impossible to walk IN the
row, to saunter along the drive, or 10
attend any of the various gatherings
where fair faces are supposed to be
the chief attraction, without noticing
how many Of them owe their imag-
ined charms to another hand thar
that Of nature. During the last elglL
years the OdiOus practice Of paint
ing the face has been steadily grow
ing, until, in the most conspicuous
classes Of society the practice has
ceased to be the exception, and has
become the rule. Once more, as in
the time Of Steele, we have a race Of
Picts amongst US. Formerly, an old
harridan, if she spread q little eau
tiOus rouge over her cheeks that age
would have spared, had unremitting
excitement not been superadded to
years, was pointed out with the fin
ger, and was in a double sense a
marked woman. Now a days the
youngest fingers dabble in the pig
ment. The disease has spread from
the cheeks to every portion Of the
face. The mouth, which one would
have thought the last to catch the
infection, has taken il in the most
violent form, and hundreds Of women
in London go about with a perpetual
lie upon their lips. Pencils for the
eyebrows, and even for the eyelashes,
are common wares on a modern toilet
table. Nothing strikes a stranger to
Hyde Park more forciblY than the
want Of expression in the cOunte-
nances which flash past him during
the hours that carriages cOngregate in
that much affected spot. They lack
all mobility. There is no play of the
features about them; they are fixed
and set. Moore would never have
compared any Of them to the lake
that breaks into dimples and laughs
IN the sun. This phenomenon, so
often remarked on, is fully explained
when it is remembered that a single
injudiciOus smile might mar the labor
Of hours. 1t is lamentable to think
that the repOse which stamps the
caste Of We're de We're is too often to
be attributed, not to any inherent
refinement or to any inherited calm
grace, but rather to a horrible fear
that a moments animation might
thWart the study Of an entire morn
ing.

Sleeping Cold.


In Artemus Wards lecture on
Ghosts, he tells of an absurd man who
wouldn't have any glass in his win
dOws-he thought the sash would be
enough, as it would keep out the
eOarsest of the cold. : This reminds
your correspondent Of a story that old
ParsOn H, of P, used to tell of his
experience Of the cold night on the
night of his marriage. They went on
a "briClIe toJver" to his Cousins down
on the shore of the Connecticut, and
spent the night, which was one of the
coolest of the season, and being put
in q cold spare room, they suffered
severely. After a while his wife ask
ed him to get IN and see if he couldn't
ind something more to put upon the
bed. After a diligent search he could
find nothing but his and his wife's
clothing, which he gathered up and
put upon the bed, and got in and tried
it again, and still they grew no
tUdrHler very fast, and his wife beg
ged Of him to get up and see if any
thing more could be found, and sug-
gested that there might possibly be
something in q closet in one corner
Of the room; so he went and examin-
ed the closet, and reported that an old
fish net was the only thing he could
find. "Well, my dear" said she,
put it on, that will tangle the cold a
little"

SICK HPInlcHF

The most frequent, and we may say,
the general cause Of sick headache is
a weak stomach and imperfect diges-
ton. Such people as are troubled in
this way find the following symptoms:
The appetite begins to Be strOng. as
they call it. They feel quite hungry
when meal time comes, and eonse-
quently eat heartily. The appetite
becomes more and more ferOcious un-
til they can hardly wait from one
meal until another, but are constant
" biting Of different articles of food
all day. During the night, or at
furthest the next morning, they have
the sick headache.
What is the reason? The stomach
is naturally weak, and so long as it is
not crowded it works kindly. By and
by more food is put into it-Or more
irritating kinds-than il can digest.
1t ferments, an acid state is produced,
the acid acts as an irritant upon the
coats Of the stomach, and this irTita-
ton is taken to be a call for food, to
satisfy which more is taken, and all
to no purpose, the poor stomach re-
volts; but with the rest during the
continuance Of the headache, and the
relief from the vomiting, 1G IacoVers
its wonted tone.
But how can these turns be prevent
ed? The treatment is very simple,
and many have been relieved by it,
while many have been entirely cured
Upon the first appearance Of the NOR
bid appetite, neither eat nor drink for
one or two meals. Generally at the
second meal the person does not feel
as hungry as at the first. This is a
good syEptOm, as it marks a relief in
the stomach. Follow up this, until
the appetite becomes what it. should
be, and many a turn Of sick headache
may be prevented. There is no need
Of medicine, unless it BE a little mag
nesia, or some ant-acid at first to neu-
tralize the soreness; but a persever-
ance in the one thing named, if began
in season, will generally produce 8
change for the better, if not a per-
manent cure.

How Counterfelt Notes are Made.

A party of men, say from three to a
dozen, get together and hold frequent
meetings, and act according to a plan
laid down. One or two will find out
some copperplate printer in the en-
plOy. of the bank note cOmpany-in
fact all such printers are known by
the party. These men will manage
to meet one of the printers in the even
ing, get acquainted, drink and have a
good time generally with him, and so
proceed for a few evenings. Then
they offer him from fifty to one hun
dred and fifty dollars to procure GER
tain kind of impression. This i'm
preston is made in this wise: The
printer takes the impression upon tin
foil from the plate from which he is
printing, which is done in a moment.
Thus you see every line and the size
is obtained correctly. From this tin
foil an electro plate is made. They
then get some plate printer that can
be found about the city, have a good
time with him, and engage him at
twenty dollars a day to do the print
ing. BY this plan thousands of cop
les are struck off which defy detect
ives, except in the quality of the
paper, which will slightly differ from
the genuine. The place of manufac-
ture is generally some distance from
New York, like Staten Island, Flat
bush, or sometimes Baxter street, or
similar localities in that city. 1t is a
strange fact that in every case where
a party Of this kind exists, every
member lacks confidence in his assO-
ciates. Every move made by one is
narrowly watched by the others of
the party. 1t would be death to an
informant or spy that did not look to
himself.
