ARRIVAL OF THE SMOKoMoTIvE.-"We knew
by the smoke that so gracefully curled," that
the steam engine in pantaloons" was approach
ing, and by the fragrant aroma that scented the
gale that the fuel used was that favorte brand
of tobacco manufactured by A. NJ. Lyon & Co.,
Richmond Va, yclept 'Sultana'-the choice
of the Sultan of Turkey, It is needless to say
that this metaphorical language announces the
fact of the arrival of Mr.. n. Fl. Hotchkiss, the
active, persistent, energetic and indomitable
agent of the Richmond s. York River Railroad
Company He is, as usual, working with might
and main in the interests of that company
With him, it seems to be Tabor of love'-he
woos and wins, and secures the transportation of
much freight over that line.
TRUE EcoNoMY.-The country is at present
flooded with cheap and inferior goods of every
description, which are heralded to the public in
flaming advertisements and which find a market
among those who have yet to learn that s'true
economy" consists in buying first class article
from an established and first class house. For
example, pianos of various makers are offered
at about one-half the price of those of really
first class manufacture. Among the latter none
are more deserving of the encomum ''really
first Glass; than those manufactured by Messrs.
VIM. KNABE & Co., of Baltimore, a firm which
dates over third of century, and whose Pr
amos for exeellency of workmanship, durability
and sweetness OF tone, stand absolutely unri-
vailed and containing many valuable patented
improvements, to be found in no other instru
ment made by the very best workmen and of
strictly first class and seasoned material.
The so-called cheap piano may present a
fair external appearance but is made of inferior
and often entirely unseasoned material, and soon
becomes wreck which defes the art of the tu-
ner. We make special mention Of the piano. as
the most forcible illustrations Of our remarks.
which can be applied to almost every article we
use in our families. 1t

WHAT THE FEATURES INDICATE,

We are told that the extremes of both
Isrg4npss and smallness Of stature are not
favorable to the strength OF intellect. Giants
and dwaffs are generlly deficient In TINS re

quite consistent with menta capacity. Raph

Lord Brougham were illustrations OF The lat

It is said that any nose which is less than

the defective intellectual powers.

USING OF SULPHUR IN NEsTs.-The
pc" dered sulphur sold by all druggists is
cheap and handy preventive of parasites
upon young chickens. After hen has
been setting till we'll established, sprinkle
L small handful upon her eggs when she
IS off, and upon every part of the nest,
and for little distance around it. Then
when she goes on disturb her just enough
to make her bristIe her feathers, and then
dust another handful down to the skin
upon her head, neck, and every part Of
her body not in contact with the nest, ard
do not omit to scatter pinch unoer each
wing. Then, when the chickens are hatch
ed, there will be no vermin whatever TO
leave the hen and gather upon the young
as is frequently the case when no precau
lions are taken. One thorough appIica
ton such as we have described will suffice.
