TIE MAN THAT WASN'T BOTTLED UP."-
an incident of the Burbridge raid on the Salt
works, in Virginia, during the fall of 1864 has
Just come to hand that will bear telling. a
member of the "new ISSUE" whose bravery was
scarcely equal to his interest for personal safety
while in line of battle, spied large, hollow
log on the summit of the rugged cedar ridge
near the then residence of "Governor" Sanders
Watching for favorable opportunity, he sue

and our troops soon fell back short distance
toward the saltworks. Some of the boys Jun

log turn down the hill, and it only stopped
when it reached the base. When the vanguard
of the raiders reached that point, they built
fires, and made-believe they intended occupy
ing the position all night, A huge fire was
built against our log, which soon made such
headway that poor Confed's quarters became
very uncomfortable He was painfully con-
scious that he had to leave his hiding-place,
and felt but little consolation in escaping roast
ing alive, TO be made target for negro soldiers
to practice by freight. So putting on as
bold front as the nature of the case and his
ebbing courage would admit, he bounded forth,

THE RAT NUIsANcE.-A correspondent of
the Mark Lane Express, writing Oh "the Rat
Nuisance" says:
was talking to my cowman the other day,
and asked him how it was that never saw any
rats about now: formerly if | opened 4 loose
door suddenly, used to see lot of rats scut-
tling away, and now never see one. "Well,
sir,S said he, "it is the cats that does it; they
do not get great many old ones, but they nab
all the young and unwary ones, and suppose
lead the old ones such an unsatisfactory sort of
life that they have departed" l should think
farm, with its stacks, barns, out-houses, and
loose boxes, would be as difficult to manage, to
get rid of those beastly vermin, as an old half
timbered house. should recommend any suf-
ferer to establish half dozen tabbies. Feed
them well and make much Of them, as my
wife's man does-it is a mistake TO starve them,
as they hunt for pleasure, and it is great fun to
see a well grown kitten come in with small
baby rat, looking as proud and pleased as pos
sible, and glad should it's owner be, for it has
destroyed future mother or father. You should
leave doors open or make access to out OF the
way places where rats do most congregate.-
Half-a-dozen cats to feed and pet certainly are
trouble, but nothing in comparison with the
nuisance complained Of"

CALIFORNIA WoNDERs.-Near the confines
of FRESNO, Tulare, and Inyo counties, in the
vicinity of the head waters of the Keweah,
there exists remarkable piece of country.
The Indians say it is the abiding place CT the
Evil Spirit. The country is rugged and rocky
mountains, with deep valleys and precipitous
cliffs. Snakes and reptiles of every descrp-
ton abound in untold numbers, and, taken in
all, it is a wild and most uninviting region.
But aside from this most curious phcnome-
non exists. The ground trembles and quakes
almost continuously, and the abundant rocks
grind and grit together as if being surged by
some terrible influence. Frequently, deep dis
charges are heard, mufiled and dull like the
distant sound of heavy artillery. At night the
sounds seem to be more abundant than in the
day time. No Indian can be induced to ven
turc near the locality, regarding it with super
stitious horror. No theory is advanced by any
one to account for the strange phenomena men
toned We also learn from William Faymon-
vile that above the head of Crane Valley, in
this county, another place similar to the one
mentioned exists. Persons who have visited
the last place named describe the sounds mcn-
toned as like nulilcd thunder.

IncuhatiOll.

The process of incubation of the chicken Is
O subject curious and interesting to the student
of Nature, as will be seen by the following:
The hen has scarcely sat on her eggs twelve
hours before some lineaments OF the head and
body appear. The heart may be seen to beat
at the end of the second day it has at that
time somewhat tho form of horseshoe, but no
blood yet appears. AT the end OF two days,
two vesicles of blood are to be distinguished,
the pulsation of which is very visible; one OF
these is the left yentricle and the other the
root of the great artery. At the fiftieth hour,
one auricle of the heart appears, resembling a.
moose folded down upon itself The beating OF
the heart is first observed in the auricle, and
afterwards in the ventricle. At the end OF
seventy hours, the wings are distingulshable;
and on the head two bubbles are seen for the
brain, one for tl,s bill, and two for the fore and
hind part of the head. Toward the end of the
fourth day, the two auricles already visible
draw nearer to the heart than before. The
liver appears toward the fifth day. AT the end
of hundred and thirty-one hours, the first
voluntary motion is observed. At the end of
seven hours more, the lungs and the stomach
become visible; and four hours afterward, the
intestines, the loins and the upper jaw. At the
hundred and forty-fourth hour, two ventricles
are visible, and two drops of blood instead of
the single one. which was seen before. The
seventh day the brain begins to have some con-
sistency. At the two hundred and nineteenth
hour of incubation, the bill opens and the flesh
appears in the breast. In four hours more the
breast-bone is seen. In six hours after this the
ribs appear. forming from the back, and the
bill is very visible, as well as the gall-bladder.
The bill becomes green at the end Of two hun
dred and thirty-six hours and if the chicken
be taken out of its covering, it evidently moves
itself The feathers begin to shoot out toward
the two hundred and fortieth hour, and the
skull becomes gristly. At the two hundred
and sixty y-fourth hour, the eyes appear. AT the
two hundred and eighty-eighth, the ribs are
perfect. At the three hundred and thirty-frst,
the spleen draws near the stomach, and the
lungs to the chest. AT the end of three hun
dred and fifty-fye hours, the bill frequently
opens and shuts; and at the end Of the eigh-
teenth day, the first cry of the chicken is heard
It afterwards gets more strength and grows
continually, till at length it is enabled to set
itself free from its confinement.

An Editors Table.

The editor sat in his sanctum, his countenance
furrowed with care,
His mind at the bottom of business, his feet at
the top of chair,
His chair-arm an elbow supporting his right
His ewes, ewes on his dusty old table, with different
documents sypread:-
There were thirty long pages from Howler,
with underlined capitals topped,
And short requisition from Growler, request
ing his newspaper stopped;
There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet, con-
cerning sweet fiowrets and zephyrs,
And stray gem from Plodder, the farmer, de-
scribing q couple Of heifers;
There were billetS from beautiful maldens, and
bills from grocer or two,
And his best leader hitched to letter which
inquired if he wrote it, or who?
There were raptures of praises from writer's, OF
the smooth and mellifuous school,
And one of his rivals last papers, informing
him he was fool; o.,
There were several long resolutions, with
names telling whom they were Dy,
Canonizing some harmless old brother who
had done nothing worse than to dle;
There were traps on that table to catch him,
and serpents to sting and to smite hin' :,
There were gift enterprises to sell him, and
bitters attempting to bite him;
There were long, staring 'ads'' from the city,
and money with never one,
Which added, "please give this insertion, and
send in your bill when you're DONE"
There We're letters from organizations-their
meetings, their wants and their laws
Which said '|Can you print this announcement
for-the good of our glorious cause?"
There were tickets inviting his presence to fes-
tivals, parties and shows,
Wrapped in notes, with "Please give us no.
tice,'' demurely slipped in at the close;
In short, as his eye took the table. and ran o'cr
its ink-spattered trash,
There was nothing it did not encounter, ex-
cantinp perhaDS Ii was cash.

How WIVES SHOULD BE TREATED.-The
man who loves his wife will see that she is hap
py. He will find time to spend his evenings at
home, and will never be at loss for society, for
he will find in his wife, children and books,
the best society in the world. He will treat his
wife as the true partner of his joys, or OF his
sorrows and in the sacred retreat of home, the
troubled heart will find that consolation that
the out door world can never bestow. How
many consult their wives in matter Of business
And yet there is no advice which should be
sooner sought. Make it an established rule to
consult your wifi on all occasions. Your inter-
est is hers, and 10 plan should be undertaken
contrary to her advice and appreciation. The
wife should always be informed in regard to
the state of her husbands finances, in order to
exercise proper economy in the household,
avoiding what would be meanness if his income
were ample, or extravaganza when his resour-
ces are diminished If the wife is not per-
mitted to share her husbands counsel, at least
in general way, she is necessarily shut out
from such sympathy with him, and one OF the
greatest sources of happiness is thereby dimin-
ished. And let not the "lords of creation" de-
spise the counsels which woman's naturally
quick perception may suggest. A well-timed
word from this source may at times be like the
railroad switch to turn the train from running
quickly to destruction. Moreover, in the (aily
intercourse with those you love in the family re-
lation of husband and wife, constant watch
fulness ought to be maintained over words and
actions, in order to avoid inhicting unnccessa-
ny pain. Remember to speak kindly to each
other always.

USES OF IcE.-Wc quote the following from
an exchange. If true, it is worth remember
ing:
"rhc curative and relieving powers of ice arc
found more valuable year after year. Small
Jumps of ice swallowed whole will often check
acute stomach inllammations, and will prevent
nausea if heat is applied outside at the same
time. Pounded ice applied to the spine is said
to cure sea sickness. A bit of ice will help
dipthcria and all other throat complaints. TO
become delightfully."- cool in the summer, apply
ice, wrapped in paper, to the back Of the head
for one moment"

Summer Eating.

We eat to keep warm and to sustain strength,
and all articles of food have those two elemelts
in varying proportion. Oils, tallow and while
blubbcr are almost wholly Of the warming &C.
ment; hence in Greenland, where the th.r-
mometer is many degrees below zero, anc a
great deal of heat is required, native Will
drink half dozen gallons of oil every day,
or eat ten pounds of tallow. In the hottest CT
mates of the world the inhabitants live toa
great extent on fruits and vegetables, which
have but very little of the heating qualiti!s.
In our climate, which is between the two,
meats, vegetables and fruits are eaten all tne
year round; but if eaten judiciously, it eaten
according to tho season-more OF fruits ana
vegetables in summer and less of meats and
fats-an incalculabe amount Of sickness would
be prevented every year. We would tnlnK
man deranged who should keep as large fires
burning in his house in summer as IL winter,
and vet we all persist in eating meats and tats

butter are on our tables three times day, when
in reality they ought to be sparingly used du-
ring the summer months, at least by the young,

and nothing whatever between meals. So far
from starving on such diet the class of per.

A BEAUTIFUL DEMoN.-1n going Through
the parish prison few days since, the atten-
ton of the reporter was attracted to a young
girl. apparently not more than fifteen years OF
acre She had fair, nut-brown hair, and COM
pIexion fresh and white as milk. The mild blue
ewes were singularly soft and intelligent, and
her whole appearance Indicated the free, JOY
GUS characteristics of youth and happiness.
Yet this amiable looking creature, this fair, del
icate Minerva, of slender form and INGENIOUS
face, is said to be q devil incarnate. She was
not prisoner, only visitor to the institution,
and when the reporter saw her she was convefs-
ing with a noted burglar; indeed she says she
is q cousin of Pete Munday's, and goes under
the sobriquet of Lily. She is almost as fair and
delicate as one.
Her career is remarkable series of adven-
lures and hair-breadth escapes. About year
ago she lived in San Antonio, Texas, and Tor
some real or fancied misconduct received Sc
we're castigation at the hands OF the man With
whom she was living.
Burning with resentment, and conscious OF
her inability to cope with him In physical
strength, she waited until the next night, wnen
he was asleep, and then locking the doors OF the
room and closing every avenue of escape, she
prepared for work of horror almost imposl-
ble to conceive. On one pretext or another she
sent all the inmates of the house away, and
procuring paper and other infammable mate
rial, built funera! pyre around the bed Of the the
sleeping man. This done, she set lire to 1t, ana
locking the door behind her fled the house;
The man woke up when the house was full OF
flames, and in escaping from the room aS was lit lit
terally roasted. One side OF his body was
burned almost to cinder He has never re-
covered from his injuries, and is to-day hope,
less invalid, suffering excruciation torture and
continual anguish. His generosityIperhaps
his sense of atonement-prevented his prose-
cutting the girl, and she made her escape to
New Orleans. Arriving here, she took apart
ments on Toulouse street, between Rampant
and Burgundy, where she still resides. les, @ She is
teen at fuirthest, and her vindictive and savage
fury when excited is a terror to all her acquain-
tances. =.
1t is strange that beneath an exterior so fair
and beautiful should be concealed the elements
of such lawlcss violence.-NeW Orleans P'ca-
