Hints for the Housewife.

To Restore F1rniture-The best pre-
paration for cleaning picture frames and
restoring furniture, marred or scratched,
is mixture of three parts of linseed oil
and one part spirits Of turpentine. 1t
not only covers the distigured surface,
but restores wood to its original color,
and leaves a luster upon the surface.
Put on with Il wooden cloth, and when
dry, rub with wooden.
When to Use Certain Vegetables and
.Suces-Potatoes are good with all meats
With fowls they should be mashed.
Carrots, parsnips, turnips, green's, and
cabbage are eaten with boiled meats
Beets, peas, and beans are appropriate
with either boiled or roasted meats.
Mashed turnip is good with roast pork.
Tomatoes are good with every kind of
meat, but especially with roast. Apple
sauce with roast pork. Cranberry or
currant sauce with beef, fowls, veal and
ham. Currant Jelly is used by many
persons with roast mutton. Pickles are
good with all roast meats, and capers or
nasturtiums with boiled lamb or NUT
ton. Horseradish and lemons are ex-
cellent with veal.
TO Disguise Castor Oil-Rub up two
drops of oil of cinnamon with an ounce
Of glycerine, and add an ounce OF castor
oil. Children will take it as luxury,
and ask for more.

Whaling at San Diego, California.

FROM tne san blcSO tnloH Jan. II.
Since our last report the whalers have
met with such success as equals theI
most sangulne expectations.
The last and largest whale captured
| this season made an interesting chase
Her blowing was observed by the crews
of the four boats almost simultaneously
The moment she was seen the orders
came quick and sharp from the boat
swain in command, and ut once the
men bent to their oars with a will, max
ing their boats bound over the water
with such speed as would astonish a
green hand. The whale, however, seem
ingly unconscious of the close proximity
OF its would be destroycrs, at regular
surface to blow, evidently enjoying itself
hugely.
Soon the boats were up with the
mammoth o the deep" and pulled
nearly in reach of its ponderous tlukes.
Having pulled their craft mo such
position as would allow the harp ooners
to take good aim, and to dart their
lances with accuracy, the boats crews
lay on their oars awaiting the signal to
discharge the lances. Soon it was
given, and one bomb and three other
lances were simultaneously discharged
at the whale.
If the speed of the boats when only
impelled by the oars of the crew seemed
immense, it was now almost startling.
No sooner were the harpoons darted
than Oft dashed the whale at furious
rate. Stout lines, however, lowed the
boats after it, and soon the fury of the
wounded whale subsidized, and it lay
upon the surface of the water an mani
mate carcass.
Some idea of the importance Of the
whaling business at this port, may be
formed from the quantity of oil ex-
ported last year. Although the bust
ness is yet in its infancy, the EXPORT of
oil amounted in 1871 to 2l,SSS gallons.
Already this season 1900 gallons have
been made, and the prospects for ship,
ment greatly in excess of the previous
year are very encouraging.

Negro Superstition.

Superstition of the worst type is still
cherished among a portion of our col
ored population, and is by no means
confined to those lately released from
slavery. A frlghtful event that has Just
taken place in Arkansas illustrates the
power which a belief as old and as child.
lsh as that in witchcraft may still exert,
and suggests an argument of some
weight in favor of compulsory educa-
ton. 1t appears that a negro of Little
Rock, named Francis, deliberately shot
and killed another man of the same
race named Vaughan, for, as the muir
derer alleges, bewitching him. Francis
says Vaughan was regular Obi-man,"

him; and that he had shot him Tor try.

A Select Company.

banquet extraordinary was lately
given at the English town of DeptIord
1t consisted of a supper, eligibility for
admission TO which depended upon the
candidates being convicted telons
Tickets were only issued on proof being
furnished of the guest having attained
this distinction, and fifty applicants
were refused on the ground of the evil
dence in their favor being incomplete.
What adds to the singularity, as well as
the appropriateness of thus selecting
the company, is the fact that the host
was one Mr.. Ned Wright, "the we'll
known converted burglar" One hun
dred and fifty congenial souls sat down
at table together, and the occasion was
marked by much hilarity. Mr.. Wright
addressed the assemblage ''in his own
peculiar manner" and the guests separ-
ated at late hour amid mutual con
gratulations, and highly pleased with
their entertainment.

Didn't Wear Socks.

Sacramento Cor. San Francisco Chronicle
A good story is going the rounds of
Sacramento on the subject OF socks.
There are quite a number of eccentric
statesmen in Sacramento, and among
other eccentrlclties it was firmly be-
lieved that one of these scorned the
idea of wearing clean socks. To eluci-
date this momentous question was the
desire of several llow-statesmen. SO
two grave and reverend seignors came
together and discussed the question
The first, whom for brevity sake we will
call Smith, affirmed that Jones (the
statesman) did not wear socks, while
Brown declared that, having slept with
Jones, he knew that he wore socks
The upshot was that $40 piece was put
up by Brown and Smith respectively
and deposited in the hands of one of
the Sergeants-at. Arms. Now Brown
was in doubt on the proposition, so he
went to Jones and stated the issue.
by George" replied Jones, you're a
goner. don't wear socks This
caused the confident Brown to 60 down
in his boots; but quickly rallying, he
said "Well, now, | can't afford to lose
that twenty dollars. Tell you what Phi
DOLL go in with you, and we'll divide
the coin. Jones agreed, and the pair
went up on top of the dome, where
Brown drew off one boot and pulled off
a sock Jones pulled off boot and en-
cased his horny foot in the sock, and
both descended to the lower regions
Jones quietly went to his desk, and in
an instant was immersed in the inter
ests of his constituents. Brown went
to Smith and suggested that, after adj
Iournment. Jones be interviewed on the
sock question. Smith agreed, and the
Sergeant-at- Arms was chosen as referee
Alter adjournment, the quartette hied
themselves OFT to a committee
and, innoccnt-like, Brown informed
Jones OF the terms of the wager, and
Jones was requested to show foot
Suddenly he cast an anxious look to-
ward the smiling Brown and turned
pale. lie had Forgotten upoa Which foot he
hat placed the sock! With a well-feigned
groan of anguish he trusted to luck and
presented the right boot, which the
Sergeant-at- Arms quickly pulled off,
and, 10 and behold, there was nary sock
upon it. "The wrong foot, by George !"
exclaimed the owner of the boot.
Brown retired discounted, and the
4uartette were shortly afterward seen at
Swlmley's, taking it straight. Jones
retains the sock as a memento to Jog
his memory on future occasions.

4 Hint TO Plumbers.

The New York Times, of the 3lst
ultlmo, says:
1t was pretty we'll understood, even
without the demonstration of late
number of Nature, that much foul air
driven back from the sewers, finds its
way into houses by the waste-holes of
water basins. You can put in the plug,
as many people do, and draw the basin
full of water and be safe, so far as the
orltice at the bottom is concerned; but
this does not stop up the apertures
which are necessarily provided to meet
the contingency of the water being &C
cidentally left running. Now, if some
ingenious plumber, or other mechan-
iclan, can invent an apparatus which
will keep these holes closed, except when
the water rises to their level, or above
them, a great desideratum would be
attained. We do not doubt the posi-
bility of this, and are sure that clever
artisan will be found somewhere to put
the thing in practice. One most import
ant source of poisonous air would thus
be etfectually choked off, and sleeping
rooms be made healthier. Who will in
vent this contrivance, and take out Il
patent for it? We make no charge for
the suggestion, which is at the service
of the first man who is enterprising and
ingenious enough to give it practical

From the Elmira IN. " Advertiser.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral of
Ellen Grady took place at the house OF
John McNevins, on Railroad avenue,
near First street AS the corpse was
about to be carried out the floor of the
room gave way and precipitated some
forty or fifty of those assembled into the
cellar distance of six feet, together
with the furniture of the room and the
corpse. Considerable excitement and
confusion ensued. Fortunately no in
jury resulted to any one, except the
spraining of the wrist of one woman and
slight cut on the face of another. 1t
is remarkable that so exciting an acci
dent could occur and be attended with
such little damage and injury. After
extricating the people from the cellar
the funeral proceeded without further
accident or remarkable incident.

The Great Channel Tunnel.

The great enterprise OF a tunnel from
near Dover to a point near Calais, is
about to be attempted by corporation
called the Channel Tunnel company.
Ninety thousand dollars has been paid
in for the purpose of sinking a trial
shaft and driving driftway on the
English side about half mile beyond
low water mark, with the view of prov
ing the practicability of tunneling under
the channel. The completion Of this
work will furnish data for calculating
the cost of continuing the driitway
from each shore to Il juncture in mid
channel, and capital will then be sub
scribed for that purpose, or for enlarg
ing it to the size of an ordinary railway
tunnel, as the engineers may deem most
expcdient.

More Arkansas Troubles.

On Friday last, a colored man named
Arch. Embry was shot and killed at
Gala Rock, Pope county, Ark, by two
young men named Raper and Dempsey.
The brother and father of the murdered
man then attacked an old gentleman
named Tucker, charging him with being
the cause Of the killing, and beat him
until they thought he was dead, after
shooting him twice. Tucker was alive,
however, on Saturday, but there are no
hopes of his recovery. After this, the
negroes gathered to the number of about
thirty, armed, and more trouble is APP
pretended. The man killed, and his
brother, are both said to have been DIES,
perate characters, and have killed Two or
three men prior to this. 1t is said they
provoked the difficulty.
