Of George Alfred Townsend's letters to the

A first class civil war can be contriyed
in Philadelphia any day in the year by
setting back the State House clock an
hour Principally at twelve o'clock the
Philadelphia artisan will look at his stom-
ach and compare it with the clock. In
i've minutes he will be transformed into
raging cannibal. AT a quarter past
| twelve he will assemble at the Mayors

twenty minutes past twelve he will march
on the market houses and produce ex-

The fate of Vigneron, Frencbman
who was killed on the sands at Boulogne,

many hundred spectators, is, like Rem

exeroion. He was a man Of extraordinary
strength. age %, and was known in most
parts Of Europe for his feats Of strength
aud particularly for lifting cannon
weighing SIX hundred pounds upon his
shoulders, and firing full charge Of
gunpowder. He was going through this
performance with his usual success, but
while IN the act OF lifting the cannon 10

weight of the cannon fell upon the face

completely in two. Death, of course, was

DISEASE AMONG FARMERs-Many of

DISEASE AMONG FARMERs.-Many of
tbe diseases among farmers are caused by
their manner of living 1t is notorious
fact that farmers, gardeners, and those
who have had the largest facilities for
raising vegetables, use much less than
those who do not and cannot raise them
IF asked why they do not eat more of the
peas, beans ETC., which they raise, their
reply is, they Go not care for them. Gen
orally they raise but one Or two messes
their chief diet being cheese, milk, butter
and meats Now, in order to keep the
blood healthy, the system requires plenty
Of fresh vegetables. Lettuce, beans spin
zach, asparagus, peas, radishes, cucum-
bers, green corn, etc, etc, are what are
needed, and every farmer who wishes to
live and not expend half he makes in doc
tors bills should have at least one acre IN
vegetable garden, and two or three large
hot beds, that early plants and fresh sal
ads may be had for spring use.

How TO Cool A RooM.-Now that the

tertsting to be reminded that the SIM
plest and cheapest way to cool room
is to wet cloth of any size, the larger

A QUEER CANAL CoMPETIToR.-Th
Rochester IN " Union makes the fol-
lowing mention Of one OF the inventions
which are fast appearing to claim the
100000 prize offered by the State:
"a boat invented by William and Jabez
Walker and Manson r. Gibbs, of Livona,
intended to compete for the monry offered
by the State for the purpose Of more ef
fectually introducing steam power on the
canals, made its first trial on Hemlock
Lake yesterday. Some Of the machinery
was imperfect, and after failure at the
start the boat surprised all beholders by
its speed. 1t performed better than the
inventors expected. There is no wheel on
the boat. 1t is propelled by moving pad
dies back and forth under it and the
best and shortest description we can give
Of it is to compare it to drawing large
fish, with very large fins on its belly, back
and forth through the water in the centre
of the bottom OF the boat. The paddles
resist the water when going forward, and
give way to it when going back. The
machinery is cheaply made, and we see
no reason why it will not be durable and
easily kept in repair"

ONE THING WANTING The watch
trade is cited as an illustration of the rea-
son why women cannot earn the same
wages as meG, although possessing equal
mechanical ability. At recent meeting
Of the British Association, in Edinburgh,
IN discussion upon the subj ect of female
wages, Sir John Bowring asserted that
traue unions in England had kept women
out of the watch trade, and had driven
that branch of industry to Switzerland
This assertion of Sir John Bowerjng was
denied by practical matchmaker in the
audience, who stated that trade unions
did not exist in the occupation Of watch
making, and consequently could not de,
prive women of that kind Of employment.
Instead Of disposition to keep out wo-
men, it was asserted that many of the
workmen had tried to instruct their wives,
sisters, and daughters to follow the bust
ness, but that the nervous power of WON
en- was inadequate for work requiring
such strict accuracy as matchmaking. The
watch trade, 1t was asserted, had gone t.
Switzerland, because many persons were
not particular as to the variation IN the
rate of their watches, and therefore pur-
chased a cheap and inferior article, the
product of The labor Of the Swiss women.

CALIFORNIA HUMoR.-The following from
the San Francisco News Letter is denominated
by that sheet as genuine California humor:
"About the most ludcrous incident that we
remember occurred the other day in an ordi
narily solemn village in the COW counties. A
worthy matron. who b I'D been absent looking
after a vacant COW, returned home, and push.
ing against the door found it DISTRACTED by
some heavy substance, which, upon examina
ton, proved to be her husband. He had been
slaughtered by some rowing joker who had
wrought upon him with a pick-handle. TIC
one of his ears was pinned a scrap of greasy
paper, upon which were scrambled the follow
ing sentiments in pencil tracks: The inqulos-
ed boldly is that NV old Bunker. Step litely
stranger, fer yer lie the mortil part Nv wat
you mus be sum da. Theirs arrest for the
weary! Ii Buker heddenta wurkt agin me for
Conner | wudden a he'd to sit on him. Ov such
is the kingum of hevvun! You don't want to
moev this body til me summons to hold min
quest. Orl flesh are grasp The ridiculous
part of the story is that the lady did not wait
to summon the coroner, but took charge of the
remains herself; and in dragging them toward
the bed she exploded into herself shotgun,
which had been cunningiy contrjved to dis
charge by a string connected with the body
Thus was she punished fo- an infraction of the
law. The next day the particulars were told
US by the facetious coroner himself whose jury
had Just rendered a verdict OF accidental drown
ing in both cases. We do no know when we
have enjoyed heartier laugh at genuine Cali
fOrnia humOr.'
The Portland daily press., 1871-10-27

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF CoFFKE.-The
recent remarkable rise in the price of coffee is
attracting considerable attention in mercantile
circles as well as among housekeepers, who are
now compelled to pay from five to six cents
more per pound than was asked few weeks
ago. This sudden rise is owing to short crop
in Java, Ceylon and Brazil, the principal cof-
fee producing countries. The estimated de-
felt is 100 900 tons. There has been rapid
increase in the consumption of the article in
the United States during the past few years
In 1862 the total consumption was only 10000
tons, while last year n had reached 124 900
tons. Comparatively little coffee is now raised
in the West Indies, as the cultivation of sugar
has been found to be more profitable, and a
large proportion OF the worlds supply is drawn
from Brazil and two large islands in the IN
dian Ocean. The production of coffee in Gu
ba is confined to single district, but ST. Do
mingo and Porto Rico continue to furnish con-
siderable quantities. The crop in the former
island this season is reported to be large one.
