eminent Andy Johnson, striving to get
back to the strident iifein Washington,
and not relishing his Tennessee refuge,
to which everybody was pleased to see
him retire. The wrong-doing people,
who have been adjudged unfit to live
at large, are always scraping away the
mortar of their prison walls with the de-
sign of rejoining their kind, which only
cares to be well rid of them. The poet
has declared that under certain circum-
stances, i. e. when wicked men bear
sway, the post Of honor is private
station; and yet if you look into Con-
gress, you will find divers Democrats"
Indignantly crying that wicked men do
now bear sway; and yet not one of the
cemplainants shows the smallest incli-
nation to gratify us, by initiating the
American gentlemen in London, al
though they must know that, if they
will but consent SO 60 into hiding, the
public VIII gladly undertake the charg-
eS of their maintenance. 1t has been
said that the World is too much with
us; there are some of us, poor creatures,
who are too much with the world. A
law for the indictment and perpetual
Imprisonment upon conviction of bOres
would, tormented as we are by them,
be held an over-refinement of jurispru-
dence. Fortunately, the night at least,
dedicated to Morpheus, affords some
chance of escape from them; and it is
not irrational to believe that, even in
Heaven, they will live within a nice,
comfortable, but strong inclOsure.

WONDERFUL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
wonderful invention is announced as
having been projected at Elgin, Illinois.
Itis loom, capable of making cloth at
the rate of two hundred and fifty to
one thousand yards per day, according
to texture and quality, with one-tenth
the power employed by ordinary looms,
and capable of being so. altered as to
make over ten millions different styles
of patterns. 1t occupies no more space
than an ordinary loom, and does away
with ali the preliminary processes need
ed making cloth, such as beaming, siz-
ing, warping, spooling, &C., and with
the use of shuttles, harness and reeds.
If it performs as represented, it certain
ly must be most wonderful inyen-
ton, and calculated to :revolutiOnize

About Biliousness.

A clergyman comes in to see me q
dozen times year about his bilious
ness. Biliousness is a malady. / know
a great many people who are bilious.
They had no dyspepsia; they never
had a symptom Of dyspepsia In their
lives they are only bilious. Now. this
word biliousness Is sort OF respecta.
BILE cover for piggishness.e- People are
not bilious who eat what they should
eat. Reader, are you bilious? (Rather
a hard question after the above hard
word) Let me prescribe for you If you
follow my Prescription, and don't get
well, write me, and in the next edition
i will announce my errsr.
First, on getting up and on going to
bed, drink plenty Of cold water. Eat
for breakfast, until the bilious attack
passes, little stale bread, say one slice,
and piece as large as your hand OF
boiled lean beef or mutton. II the
weather is warm, take instead of lit
tie cracked wheat or oatmeal porridge.
For dinner take about the same thing.
Go without your supper. Exercise
freely in the open air, producing pers.
piration, once or twice day. In a
few days your biliousness Is all gone.
This result will come, even though the
biliousness is one of the Spring sort and
one with which you have, from year tc
year, been much afflicted. Herb drinks
bitter drinks, lager beer, ale, whisky
and dozen other Spring Medicines,
are simply barbarous.-[ Dio Leacis.

WHO Is IT?-He is not Noah, nor
Noah's son, nor Levite, nor John the
Baptist, nor yet the wandering Jew, for
he was with Noah in the ark; the Scrip
lures make mention of him particular
that we may believe that he is no i'm
poster. He knows no parent, he never
lay upon his mothers breast, his beard
is such as no man ever wore; he goes
barefooted and barelegged, like a grave
old friar. He wears no hat in summer
or winter, but often appears with a
crown on his head. His coat is neither
knit or spun, nor hair, silk, linen or
woolen, bark or sheepskin, yet it
abounds with variety of colOrs and
fits close to the skin. He is wonderful
ly temperate; he never drinks anything
but cold water; he would rather take
his dinner in farmers barn than in a
kings palace. He is very watchful; he
sleeps not in bed but sits in a singular
kind of chair, with his clothes on. He
was alive at the crucifixion. Nearly all
the world hear him. He once preached
a short sermon, which convinced man
of sin and caused him to weep bitterly.
He never was married, yet he has ia
vorites whom he loves dearly, for if he
has but one morsel of meat he divides
it among them. Though he never
rides on horseback, he is in some re-
spects equipped as horsemen are. He
is an advocate of early rising, though
he never retires to bed. His prophe-
cies are so true that the moment you
hear his voice you may know what is
approaching.
Now, who is this prophet, and what
did he fortell

The reception of Kaiser Wilhelm on
his return to Berlin, as told by cor
respondent, was remarkable scene
At the railway station, about forty
feet Of the platform was curtained of
with scarlet hangings, relieved in gold,
and having an open festooned door,
Opposite the door of the royal carriage,
on either side of the door leading to the
saloon, was a sitting statue of Victory
holding out o wreath. The emperor's
saloon, WAS in white and gold, with
scarlet hangings and upholstery, and
both in it and adjoining apartment of
of the empress was profuse display Of
rare exotics. As the train rolls in
there rises mighty cheer, and at the
windows stands the Emperor William,
framed as a in picture. The old
mans face Is working as the cheers
ring in his ears. He sis down the steps
and kissing the Dowager Queen Eliza
beta. What! Will the woman OF his
family mob him, then as they crowd
around him for his kisses, while grand
children hang about his,knees? No,won-
der that he has to brush his eyes with
the back of his handas he struggles
through the women folks before him.
In his path stands the white figure of
Wrangel, the rays of the setting sun
flashing on his snow-white hair. The
soldier-patriarch raises his hand, and
would fain lead off a cheer, but his
voice fails him and the tears roll down
his face. His master, not less moved,
kisses his servant on either cheek
The two old soldiers comrades en-
brace, while one of SteinmetZ's wound
ed fellows heads, from the top of the
carriage, a real, rousing cheer. Then
the emperor grasps Bismark by the
hand, and kisses him, too. He serve
Won Steinmetz in the same manner,
notwithstanding the calumnies anent
that gallent soldier He kisses his
way right through out of sight into the
waiting-room, the empress following
him with a look of concious ownership,
and so exit Kaiser Wilhelm.

GALVANIZED IRoN.-The principle
of estimating the quantity of zinc ex-
isting in the plating Of galvanised iron
consists in the use Of mercury to dis
solve the zinc, when the loss Of weight
can be easily ascertained. But thin

remain, which will take up certain
quantity Of mercury, and the amount
Of the smalgam present Is measurable

heated to drive the mercury of, and
then weighed again, when the weight
OF mercury which has mixed with the

On OF EGGs.-An oil Is in use in
South Russia which has the merit of
simplicity, being made OF the yolks Of
hens eggs, which are first boiled hard
and the yolks: removed, cooked, and
placed over the fire. Here they are
carefully stirred until the whole SUBJ
stance Is on the point of catching fire,
when the oil separates and may be
poured Of The yolk will yield nearly
two teaspoonfuls of oil. With all our
enormous consumption Of eggs It Is ex-
traordinary how little we know about
them, and of the manifold uses to
which they may be put.

REMOVAL OF WALNUT SrAINs.-
Those of our young friends who have
occasion to gather walnuts may be in
.terested to have a hint as to the best
method Of removing the stains pro-
duced in hulling them. This may be
accomplished simply by rubbing with
slices Of apple or pear; the cleansing
power being due, it is supposed, to the
presence Of the acid, which, therefore,
may perhaps be advantageousiy re-
placed by citric acid or lemon juice
If, however, hestains be at once thor
oughly washed In cold water, without
once using soap, they may be made to
disappear almost entirely; but soap Is
unadvisable, since its aikall acts as q
mordan and fixes the color. .@ $3.50.
