PLYMOUTH is organizing a life insur-
ance company. 1.-THE people there would
drink less whisky and lead more moral
1ives-;n short, adopt the habits of the
people of Laporte-there would be less
necessity of life insurance. Lap0rte
argus.
This thrust at our citizens, coming from
the source it does, is certainly undeserved.
If Laporte has anything to boast of in
temperance and morality over this place,
this happy state of things is certainly not
due to the influence OF the 1'yus. But
the same paper contradicts the above
when it says: There is man in this
town Naporte) who is said to be so stingy
that he never takes a full breath We
have no man as mean as that in this place
nor is the moral surroundings so turbid
as to permit such man to reside here.

Tho Best Welcome.

If American women would settle
it in their minds that happy face
gives better welcome than the
finest china and damask; that din
ner of two courses, which could be
we'll and easily cooked and served,
is more satisfactory to the guests
than an elaborate entertainment
which has cost too much labor, and
is given with too much effort; that
which we can do easily and natur-
ally is the best that can be possibly
done for friend whom chance or
invitation has brought under our
root-a new era would dawn for
both guests and entertainers. The
company of our friends, instead OF
being had seldom, and at the risk
of wcarincss and impoverishment,
would be continually sought, and
for no unworthy ends of display,
but for those higher motives which
alone deserves to bring together
men and women. Nor would there
be less, but mere, enjoyment OF
those luxuries which the rich can
properly command; because the en-
deavors for, and the envy of them
on the part Of others would be dis
countenanced by healthy tone Of
feeling, prescribing the noblest OBJ
jcct of ambition, and better class
ifcation than can depend upon the
possession or want of wealth. II
such state of things a Utopiar
dream, or shall the miscrics Of
housekeeping on the present plar
drive us to an effort, to which the
contemplation of an ideal, however
excellent, might fail to incite us?'

swept into eternity by this fatal
malady. This disease generally
has its origin in impure blood filled
with irritating, poisonous materi-
ais which, circulating through the
heart, irritatc its delicate tis-
sues. Though the irritation at first
he only slight, producing little
palpitation or irregular action, yet
by-and by tie disease becomes firm
ly seated, and Inflammation, or hy-
pcrtrophy, or thickcning of the
lining membrane or of the valves,
is produced. How wise to give ear
ly attention to case Of this kind.
Unnatural throbhing or pain in the
region of the heart should admonish
one that all is not right, and if YOU
would preserve it from further dis
ease, you must hell it to beat right
ly by the use Of such remedy as

trouble. Use DR.. Picrce's Golden

ease has become too seated, and it

Christmas and III tell you how il
happened.
Dekin Jones gave candy pullin'
and | got stool, as they say in

Sister Poll and | went together
and when we got to old man Jones
the house was chuck full. Dog mi
cats ef tharc was room to turn

Thar was Suze Harkin-she's as
big as skinned horse-and slS
other Harkins', and Simmonscs,
and Pedigrews, and the schoolmas-
ter and his gal, besides the old
Dckin and the dekincss, and enough,
little deekinses to set up half a
dozen young folks in the family
| bizness.
Well, bimby the pot begun to
bile, and the fun begun. We all
got our places ready, and put -four
on our hands to keep the candy
from stickin', and then we pitched
into pullin'.
Wasn't it fun? l never saw sich
laflin' and cuttin' up in all my born
dazc.
l made a candy bird for En-.
Simmons. Her and me expects to
trot in double harness one Of these
daze. She made a candy goose for
me.
Then we got throwin' candy balls
intu one another's hair, and run
nin' from one side Of the house to
luther, and out intu the kitchen, till
everything upon the place was all
gommcd over with candy.

Simmons sot close to me.

and heard something rip.
My stars alive! Wasn't / pick
led? looked around, and thar
was the gable-end Of mi bran new
britches sticken' to the pine
bench.
backed up agin the wall sorter
crawfsh like, and grinned.
"Sut," says sister Poll, "what's
the matter?''
"Shut up" says I.
"Sut," says En-, "come away
from that wall; you'll get all
greasy"
"Let her grease!" sez I, and sot
down on washboard that was
lying across tub, teelin' worse
than an old made at a weddin'.
Purity soon | felt somethin' hurt,
and purity soon it hurt agin.
Ice-whis-I jumpt ten feet hi,

Tho Va.ue Of Fe.Vnccination in
Small POx.

Most of our readers are aware Of
the extent to which the small pox
has ravaged France, and especial
ly Paris, and of the continued dis
cussion of remedies and indications
of the disease. In rcsposc to re-
quest from the minister of the in
terror to the imperial academy OF
medicine The following statement Of
established facts was returned:
First, vaccination is preserva-
tive against small pox; second, in
every instance, after certain time,
re vaccination is cxpedicnt to Sc
cure complete exemption from con
tagion; third, re-vaccination is an
absolute security from danger;
fourth, re-vaccination is useful at
all ages; tit.h, it can be employed
without Inconvenience during the
existence of the epidemic, and it is
peri, city we'll established that in
certain localities-in the bosom of
families, in boarding schools, and
other ,g.lomerations Of individu-
as-it has succeeded in arresting
upon the SPOT an epidemic just be-
gun; sixth, the actual epidemic of
sma pox, which prevails in Paris
and OF, er points of French terri
tory, has supplied u most convinc-
ing proof of the protective power
of re-vaccination; finally, it was
stated that in various army corps,
and especially in the Garde dc
Paris, and in many public and
private establishments, particularly
in some of the municipal schools,
the small poX was entirely checked
after re-vaccination; and also that
the latest statistics, especially those
collected in the civil hospitals OF
Paris, prove in the most positive
manner that persons recently vacci'
mated have been attacked only in a
very small proportion. and very
lightly, and SO as not to figure in
the statistics of mortality. 1t is
therefore, concluded that it is in
the highest degree important, both
in the interest Of the individual
and Of the public, to continue to OK
tend in every possible way the
practice Of rc-vaccination.

How Paper Clothes are Made.

Wearers of paper collars may be
interested in the reports on the
manufacture OF paper in Japan,
which have lalely been printed for
the British Parliament. There seems
to be no reason why they should
not wear not only paper collars but
also paper shirts, and washable pa
per coats and trousers, by taking
advantage Of the process described
as follows:
"Modc of making paper cloth,
warranted to wash (Shifu0. Take
some of the paper called 'hosho,' or
some of the best 'scnka,' and dye it
Of the color required. Boil some of
the roots called skon-niak no-da,na'
with the skins on; try them with
the inner portion Of rice stalk;
when it pcnetrates easily they are
sufficiently boiled. Peel them and
let the water run off, and then
pound them into paste. Spread
this paste on either side of the pa
per and let it dry in the sun until
quite stiff. Then sprinkle water on
it until il Is thoroughly damped, and
leave it in that state or night
The next morning roll it upon a
bamboo cf the thickness of the
shaft Of an arrow, and force it with
the hands from either end into n
crumplc in the centre; unroll it, and
repeat this process two or three
times, rolling it from each side and
corner Of the paper. Then crumple
it well in the hands by rubbing it
together until il becomes quite soft,
and then sprinkle water Oh it again
t" damp it. Pull i, out straight and
smooth, fold it up and pound it with
wooden mallct. 1t may then be
put into water as much and rs often
as is liked without sustaining inju-
ry, having become a strong and
lasting material.
The cloth is made in the Damiate
of Sendia. Boxes, trays and even
sauce pans may lie made of this
cloth; and sauce pans thus manu-
factured sustain 10 injury over a
strong charcoal heat. Bags may be
made, in which wine may he put
and heated by insertion in boiling
water"

Remarkable Flight Of Carrier
Pi cons.

From the Newark Courier, November 10.
We noticed short time ago the
wonderful flight of the carrier Pig
con, Tempest. We have now to
record the still more extraordinary
time OF two other birds sent home.
The following notes were found on
them on their arrival:
"DEAR FArnEH-Scptember Is,

yards high, and then made one trc-
mendous plunge to the north, and

"DEAR FATnER-Novcmber 2l,

powerful bird, but he has fearful

it or perish. All well,
''lIAEEY c. BLEECKER."
The bird Tornado arrived at
Montclair the same day, ut seven
minutes past 2 O'Clock in the after
noon, making over one hundred and
nine,y-six miles an hour. Typhoon
arrived the same day, at ftty-tour
minutes past o'clock in the after
noon, and fell dead on his arrival,
but he brought the note in the un-
prccedcnted time of two hundred
and two miles an hour.
