A Hermit Poet.

Fulton county, n. Y, has a hermit
poet, who is thus mentioned by the AL
bany Times:
Thirty-five years ago he was Consul to
Naples, student and minister by pro-
tesslon, and heir to an immense proper
ty. His wife died, and he returned and
retired from public life He has spent
the remaining years on a romantic lit
tie farm in Fulton county, leading an
almost hermit lie. working but few
hours in the garden every day, and
spending the remainder of his time in
writing and reading. Every week the
Express Company carries up box or
package OF books from New York, and
at long intervals his financial agent
pays him d hurried visit. His neigh
bors never see him unless by accident;
then he is invariably courteous and po-
lite. An overseer and family live in
one part of the house, but they like
the owner are very reticent, and will
tell nothing of his habits and purposes.
The village Postmaster will tell you that
letters are sent to and received fl ON
Longtellow, Whittier, Tennyson, Bry-
ant, Emerson, and even Carlisle. He
will tell you, with mysterious shakings
of the head, that the man in the red
house will yet fill the world with his
fame. George W. Curtis, of New York,
was up at the hermit's house few
years ago, and he remarked that the
world would talk of that old man in
the future, as we now talk of Milton
and Shakespeare.

A SMALLPOX Sensation.

A genuine smallpox sensation was
lnaupurated few days since in Drift
wood, near W llliamsport, Pa. 1t appears
that scavenger made his appearance at
the hotel in that village, and was given
lodgings for the night, retiring in
state OF intoxication. The next morn
ing he was found to be sick and unable
to rise, and died the evening of that
day. A coffin was procured, the corpse
laid out, and upon removal twas ascer-
tanned that the body could not be con-
veyed down the stairway. owing to its
narrow, winding course. 1t was there
upon resolved to lower the body from
the window, and in the execution of
this task the coffin burst, and the body
fell to the ground also bursting. Six
men gathered up the remains, and the
burial was performed as speedily as pos
slble. To the utter astonishment of the
people of that place six inmates of the
hotel were taken with the small-p ox,
one OF whom, son of the landlord,
died on the Goth inst. A guard has
been steadily maintained day and night
around the hotel, to prevent the in
mates from escaping, and to keep out
slders away but in spite of all their
vigilance one of the patients, suffering
from delilium, had escaped, and al last
accounts had not been captured The
business of the day previous to this visi-
tation was about 500 per day. Some of
the patrons escaped upon the outbreak
OF the disease, and now demand their
baggage, but the landlord refuses to de

Taking Cold.

If a cold settles on the outer covering
of the lungs it becomes pneumonia, in.
flammation Of the lungs, or lung fever,
which IN many cases carries the strongest
man to his grave within a week. If a
cold falls upon the inner covering of
the lungs, 1t is pleurisy, with its knife
like pains and its slow, very slow recov.
cries. If cold settles in the Joints.
there is rheumatism in various forms in.
fammatoly rheumatism with the agonies
of pain, and rheumatism of the heart.
which sonnet mes snaps the cords
OF life with no friendly warning. 1t is
OF the utmost practical Importance,
then, in the wintry weather, to krow
not SO much how to cure cold as how
to avoid it. Colds always come from
one cause, some part or the whole
Of the body being colder than natural
for time. If a man will keep his feet
warm always and never allow himself to
be chilled, he will never take cold in a
lifetime, and this can only be accom-
plished by due care in warm clothing
and the avoidance of drafts and undue
exposure. While multitudes of colds
come from cold feet, perhaps the ma
jointly arise from persons cooling off too
quickly after becoming a little warmer

or from confinement in warm apart

An Oil Train on Fire.

PITTSBURGH, April S.-Nem Huston
Station, ON the Pennsylvania railroad, a
train of nine cars, loaded with petroleum.
under charge of Robert Liggett, on yes,
terday were proceeding in the direction
of the mountain siding, when the third
Car from the locomotive caught fire.
Liggett made his way almost through
the burning oil to the coupling, and
there took out the pin, and leaving the
other cars on the track, made quick
time with the burning cars as far as the
Siding, three miles distant, where he left
them, thus saving the main train from
catching fire. The run was a terrible
one. The flames from the burning cars
rolled up far above the tree-tops. and
when an oil barrel would explode the
burning contents shot in all directions,
the cab of the engine not being allowed
to escape the dangerous element.

Leander to be OutlOne.

William Wood, of Fort Erie, has ac-
cepted challenge from the Brooklyn
Aquatic Society to swim from Buffalo
light house to Windmill Point, dis
lance of six miles. The acceptor will
choose his own day. Theswimming will
probably come OFT about the 4th of July.
If accomplished, it will be one OF the
greatest teats in the swimming line.
Not only is the distance the grea est ever
attempted, but the current from Lake
Erie, setting into the Niagara, renders
the task one of extreme difficulty. Mr..
Wood stipulates that no boat shall at
any time be within 100 yards of him,
and that he shall take his own time to
perform the feat.

Practical BeneyOIence.

The philanthropic ladies of Hartford,
Conn, have taken very practical way
of showing their sympathy for working
men. They have opened a restaurant,
and have brought down the scale OF
prices so low as to place it in the reach
of the poorest mechanic and laborer;;
They have also a room well stocked
with material from the libraries and
newspaper offices. The main object is
to induce men to frequent it who now
spend most of their time in bar rooms,
and judging from the attendance on the
op ening day, the experiment promises
t. be completely successful.

A Literary SlOp Bucket.

o. A correspondent, in writing of the
new paper at Boston, the Globe, gives. in
some personal gossip about Mr.. Ballou,
its proprietor. and his many literary
adventures, the manner in which that
receptacle for twaddle and dish water
sentiment, the Waverly Magazine, was
established. The proprietor hit upon
the ingenious scheme of publishing any
composition, prose or verse, that might
be contributed, on condition that the
author should take fifty copies of that
issue. The majority of the contributors
were school girls, so, as it required at
least hundred or two to go round
among their friends, the paper acquired
large circulation at the start, and what
was better yet, the "copy," didn't cost
anything. Mr.. Ballou would be in
dictable for deliberate cruelty toward
the reading public were it not that it is
a feature of the system that ne inaugu-
rated, that the authors of the g twaddle"
must read it themselves. or must read
other " twaddle" on about the same in
tellectual level OF such boomerang
affair, the public need not complain.

David Garrick and the Mastiff.

One very sultry evening in the dog
days Garrick performed the part of
Lear" In the first four acts he re
ceived the accustomed tribute of APP
plause; at the conclusion of the fifth,
when he wept over the body of Cor
della, every eye caught the soft infec-
ton.
At this interesting moment, to the
establishment of all present, his face as
sumed new character, and his whole
frame appeared agitated by new
passion. 1t was not tragic, it was
evidently an endeavor to suppress a
laugh.
In few seconds the old attendant no.
bles appeared to be affected in the same
manner, and the beauteous Cordelia,
who was lying extended on a crimson
couch, opening her eyes to see what oc-
casioned the interruption, leaped from
her sofa, and with the majesty of
England, the gallant Albany, and
tough old Kent, ran laughing off the
stage.
The audience could not account for
this sudden termination of tragedy in
any other way than by surprising that
the dramdts persona were seized with a
sudden frenzy; but their disability had
a different source.
A fat Whitechapel butcher, seated in
the centre of the front bench Of the pit,
was accompanied by his mastiff, who,
being accustomed to sit on the same
seat with his master at home, naturally
supposed that he might here e.joy the
same privilege. The butcher sat very
far back; and the dog, finding a fair
opening, got on the seat, and fixing his
torepaws on the rail of the orchestra,
peered at the performers with as up
right head and as grave an air as
the most sagacious critic of the day
Our corpulent Straightforward was
made of melting stuff, and not being
accustomed to the heat of a play house,
found himself oppressed by large and
we'll powdered Sunday periwig, which,
for the qualification of cooling and wip-
ing his lead, he pulled off and placed on
the head of the mastitf.
The dog, being in so conspicuous
situation, caught the eye of Mr.. Garrick
and the other performers. A mastitf in
a church-warden's wig was too much it
would have provoked laughter in Lear
himself, at the moment of his deepest
distress. No wonder then that it had
such an effect on his representative

Chinese Suspension Bridges.
From the Scientific Press.

The most remarkable evidence of the
mechanical science and skill of the
Chinese at this early period is to be
found in their suspended bridges, the
invention of which is assigned to the
Han dynasty. According to the con-
current testimony of all their historical
and geographical writers, Sangleang,
the commander of the army Kaon tsoo,
the first of the Hans, undertook and
completed the formation ofroads through
the mountainous province OF Shensi to
to the west of the capital. Hitherto its
lofty hills and deep valleys had render
ed communication difficult and cir
cuitous. With body of one hundred
thousand laborers, he cut passages over
the mountains, throwing the removed
soil into the valleys, and where this was
not sufficient to raise the road to the
required height he constructed bridges,
which rested on pillars or abutments.
In another place he conceived and ac-
complished the daring project OF sus-
pending bridge from one mountain to
another across a deep chasm. These
bridges, which are called by the Chinese
writers, very appropriately, flying
brlaees, anu represented W pe huulel'
Gus at the present day, are sometimes
so high that they cannot be ,raversed
without alarm. One still existing in
Shensi stretches four hundred feet from
mountain to mountain, over chasm
five hundred feet deep. Most of these
flying bridges are SO wide that four
norsemen can ride on them abreast, and
balustrades are placed on each side to
protect travellers. 1t is by no means
improbable las NJ. Fauthier suggests
that as the missionaries in China made
known the fact more than century
and a half ago that the Chinese had
suspended bridges, and that many of
them were made of iron, the hint may
have been taken from these for similar
constru lotions by European engineers.

A Woman who Kncws How to Keep a

One of San Franclsco's largest cara
vansaries is entirely under the manage

tender to the bootblack, all connected
with the establishment are women.
The portresses are muscular Germans,
who handle the most mammoth Sara

is handsome brunette, who parts her
shoft black ringlets on one side, and
makes bright repartees to the jokes Of
the drummers and travelling salesmen
who largely frequent the house. The
bartender can make a cocktail better
and quicker than any other in the State,
and drinks herself every time she is

fifty times day. The landlady is fair,
fat, and forty, and has received offers of
the hearts and hands of more than 400
of her sometime guests.
