How Sine round aim out.

Jealousy is disagreeable quality to
get along with, but it produces good
deal of the excitement which keeps peo-
pie alive, and not unfrequently gives rise
to some rather ludicrous scenes. A lady
in Virginia who was subject to this un-
pleasant malady lately returned home,
after short absence, aud took the pre-
caution to reconnoieter through the Key
hole before entering her room, when she
saw her husband carefully adjusting a.
shawlupon ihesfDrin Of woman. Here

charge in the back of--a dummy which
her husband, who dealt in dry goods,
had brought home In order to put tin

able tailor in New York City holds
several of these contracts at 50, 300 a

something About YOURSELF.

Supposing your age to be fifteen OK

dot. You have 160 bones aud 500 mus
cles; your blood weighs about rs pounds,
your heart is FIVE inches in length aud
three inches in diameter: it beats seventy
times per minute, 4,200 times per hour,
100,800 per day, and 36722,2 200 per
year. At each beat little over two
ounces Of blood are thrown out off;
and each day il receives aud discharges
about seven tons of that wonderful fluid.
Xpur lungs will contain one gallon &C
air, and you inhale "a. 900 gallons per
day. The aggregate surface of the air
cells of your lungs. supposing them to be
spread out, exceeds 10000 square iti-
ches. The weight of your brain is three
pounds; when you are man it will
weigh about eight ounces more. Your
nerves exceed 100000 in number.
Your skin is composed ol.ihree layers,
and varies from one fourth TO oue.eighth
of an inch in thickness. The area of
your skin is about 100 square iuches,
and you are subjected to an atmospheric
pressure of fifteen pounds to the square

Crop Prospects In Mississippi.

Thus far the present. season has been
the most unfavorable we have ever known
for cotton. In consequence of the late
spring and excessive rains, it is at least
three weeks behind the average growth
Many planters have been compelled to re
plant their crop; and have barely. secured
stands. An average yield cannot be ex
pected. even if the balances of the season
be favorable. The late growth will inev
itably cause heavy loss by frost. It's
not possible for a considerable part of the
crops just planted to mature in time to
escape destruction in that way. In re
gard 10 the acreage devoted TO cotton, our
inquiries have induced the belief that the
diminution as compared with last year, is
about one fourth.
The increase of the corn crop is about
in proportion to the decrease of cotton;
and we are gratified to report that the
prospect ofthe former is quite encour
aging as far as our information extends
Planters have learned useful lesson
from the low price of cotton and the fail.

As an article Of food the tomato is not

As an article of food the tomato is not
only nutritious. but it possesses many
valuable medicinal qualities. 1t is one of
the most powerful aperients of the liver
and other organs. aud can be substituted
for calomel 1t is also stated that, before
long. experiments now being made will
result in producing chemical extract
from the tomato that will ultimately
supercede calomel in the cure of disease.
Diarrhea has been successfully treated
with the tomato alone. and it is said to
be an excellent remedy for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Cooked or raw, the tomato
as a daily food is one of the most whole
some articles in use.

The Feliciana Republican reports the fol-
lowing:
On Wednesday, the seventeenth instant,
three colored bows were found dead under q
mulberry tree, about six miles from jackson
and near the residence of Mr. w. l.. Hamil-
ton. in this parish. The eldest was about
eleven years of age, and the two others five
and seven respectively Dr. Jones, of Jack
son, opened one of the boys, and, upon
analyzing his stomach, it was found to CON
tain about one quart of mulberries, and also
numerous locust eggs 1t is believed that
the poisoning was caused by the eggs of the
locust, and that death ensued almost in
stantly after their partaking of the muIber
rIes in which were deposited the eggs. This
should be warning to the wild and reck-
less boys in our vicinity who are forever
eating green and unwholesome fruits with
out regard to their health.
