Shot with a Cork.

A lady residing on Second street re- tired early, as usual, the other night, in good health, and with feeling of se- curity regarding her personal safety, not dreaming of the proximity of danger or tue probability of injury from deadly weapons, which she afterwards supposed were at the time pointing at her from the window just opposite her bed. While peacefully reposing and enjoying the comfort and luxury of oozy room on 8 winters night, suddenly tLere was Q sharp report at the window, the whir of some kind of missile passing through the room, and Q sound as of shot stsik ing the person of the lady, followed by a sharp stinging sensation between the shoulders A scream pierced the air and startled the members of the household, who came running to the chamber and found the lady fainting.
 Cold water was freely used, when the lady recovered and cried out that she was shot, and n boy was despatched in haste for a doctor on Third street. The phy- sician filled his pockets with probes and forceps and knives and what-not. for the surgical visit, and went rushing to the rescue, thinking, probably to save 8 poor suffering creature's life. The dooa was openf d, and he hurried into the room i; but instead of finding the patient writhing in pain and agony, he was over whelmed with surprise, and perhaps 6 little disappointed, to find her laughing and blushing, as if enjoying one of the best of jokes. Before he could ask any questions, she hastened to explain that after he was sent for & member of the family examined her shoulder, and nc wound was found. She then remember ed that she had left few bottles of alt in the room near the window, and further investigation proved that one of the cork had popped out, striking her in the back
 which she thought was bullet sho through the window. It was an amusing affair to the doctor, who likes joke al we'll as any one, and he joined with tn.

Hints to Young Men.

These words of wisdom are from paper in the last number ot London Society : After all, in looking out for wife, O man must consider how she will show at the fireside, rather than at parties. You can learn so much of literary and nthetic tastes, the favorite books that are al ways in hand, the music that is regular ly studied and sung, the kind of asso- citations, and the general order of tastes. It is by far the best way of getting up a filtration. which is not unpleasantly done and benignant. Love-makiug is an uncommon pleasant employment foI the winter nights. You may talk of the perils of young men when they come up to town but there is no better safeguard than giving such } oung fellows the asso- citations of home and sweet woman. Parents make an immense mistake talk ing too severely monetary view of the young fellows prospects. never knew young fellow under ever SC dun Q cloud who, with purpose an liability, could not work out his way into the sunlight Better even the long engagement, or tht early marriage, than many other sup positions that might be put.

A Fr ghtful Deaih.

A little girl six years of age met with 6 horrible death at Huguenot, N. Y. The mother of the child hearing screams rushed to the sitting-room and discov- cred the little girl enveloped in flames, and an English bnll-doe, tearing her burning garments of her with his paws and teeth. He had already taken over half of her clothing of, and, it is be- lieved had he been left alone he would have saved the little girls life. The mother crazsl at the sigt.., rushed for. ward aid clasped her child to her bos- otn, and held her close, thus baff1ing the efforts wh..,h the faithful dog made. al- though singed and burned dreldfnlly himself, to tear off the clothing. The girl was burned to death, and the mother fearfully burned. The dog that exhib tied more than human sagacity in its efforts to save the child, had been her constant companion, having been raised with her. Since the burial of the child occurred, he wanders from room to room as if searching for her, uttcring plain. tive whine expressive of his grief. He takes no food, and it is believed that he will pine to death.

FISHING IN OREGON. N.-The fact that in the waters of Oregon and of Washington Territory, as we'll as of Alaska, salmon cannot be captured with the artificial fly nor, indeed, taken at all with the line isa disappointment to sportsmen who have tried the experiment, and the sub iect has been dwelt upon as exhibiting a strong contrast between the habits of the Western fish and those of the North Atlanti". It is also maintained, and generally believed; that of the mvriads of salmon that ascend the Western rivers, few or none retrace their course to the sea, but succumb to the fatigue and dangers of the ascent, and to the exhaus- ton produced by the spawning operation. Certain 1t is that the shores of the Col umbia and other great streams during the salmon season are lined with dead fish throughout their entire length. fur nishing food for innumerable hawks, eagles, buzzard, crows, etc., as we'll as for mammals of various kinds. Quite recently, however. it has been ascer. tained that while the salmon will not take the fly, as stated, in the rivers, they will do so in the saltwater outside their mouths.

Indians aS Gamblers.

In California the Indians gamble some. thing after this fashion They all as- sembled in large shanty, squatting in 6 circle around bright fire to the mum Der of about forty men,, squaws and papooses. They first proceed to make up stake for the great game of the even- ing. One Indian would lay down half dollar, then another of the opposite par ty (they were equally divided of1) would cover it.
 Another would lay down the blanket or pair of trowsers, and one of the op- '.osite party would match it with m ar- ticle agreed to be of the same value. A squaw woul put down dress or q pet ticoat, and it would he matched by an- other, and SO on. until they had a stake worth playing for. The whole stake consisted of $S, in half dollars, about Q plug-hatful of shell buttoas and large heap of clothes and blankets, some of them very good, altogether probably be- ing worth $15o.
 They gamble with four pieces of bone about two inches long, two of which are smooth and two marked with rings and strings tied around the middle. The game is conducted by four old and ex. perie need fellows, two for each party, squatting on their knees on opposite sides of the fire. They have before them quantity of fine dry grass, and they roll up each piece of bone in little ball, with their hands first before them and then behind them. and the opposite party guesses in which hand Is the marked bone. When one guesses the right hand he says "we" (number one right,) when he guesses the left he says, "tep," (number two-left). They have twelve small sticks for counters, and when all are on one side the game is ended.
 Generally, only one man guesses at a ! time, and if he guesses right for both of the players they simply toss the bones across the fire to him and his partner. and they commence rolling them up. If he guesses right for one and wrong for the other, the one whom he guessed right is "out" and stops playing, but his partner rolls up for another trial and the guesser forfeits to them one of the counters. When all the counters are won by one couple the game is done, and every Indian takes out of the stake the article he deposited and the one laid on it so that every one of the winning party comes out with precisely double what he went in with.
 All this is very simple, but it took me nearly two hours to penetrate into the whole mystery of it, such wonderful amount of juggeleries, mumme1ies, man. ipulations and incantations do the In- dians encompass it with round about. As soon as the Indians commence rolling up the bones in the hay, they fall to whipping their arms back and forth, be- fore end behind them, swaying their bodies backward and forward, and chant ing, "Ha-man. ha.man, ha-man," or "ki-yi, ki-yi, ki.yi," or something else, each chanting whatever suits him, but keeping perfect time with his compan- ions. Then pretty soon they hold up their hands to theis breast with their elbows akimbo, twist their bodies around, as if they were in mortal agony, and reduce their chant to mere grunt, grunt in perfect time with the twisting.

NEW YEARS DAx.-Most of the news

NEW YEAR's DAY.-Most of the news papers throughout the country, says c New York paper, speak favorably of the suggestion that ladies should not offer their guests wine on New Years Day. Several things are indisputable. The custom of giving wine, spirits, and punch to callers, does, every year, result in a great deal of inebriety, especially among young men. There is little restialn or none nt all, and the day degenerates too often into a drunken saturnalia, fol which, we are pained to say, women are mainly responsible. The whole moral law of the matter is suspended, and nobody seems to deem it at all discredi. table to be tipsy on the First of January. If our matrons and maidens will but think seriously of the dangers to which young men are thus exposed. thev vii
 surely consult Eheir own happiness and social Weii- being by demonstrating that genial good wishes are quite consistent with 8 respectable sobriety. One's health
 and good fortune may surely he dranl sincerely without an accompanying hic
 cough and friend is friend, although he may not reel about the drswing-room

THE HORRORS OF HAVANA. Further particulars of the recent murder of the young students m Havana are developed. It is well known there that at first only four of the lads were condemned to deatb, but the court considered that number too sm Il to satisfy the demands of the vol unteers. The two Bermulez brothers were drawn. One of the Judges, Apoli- mar del Rato, exclaimed "This is hor- rible How can we snatch two sons away from one mother ?" and one of the Bermudez brothers was condemned to death, the other to the chain-gong. Young Verdugo. who was shot, was with his mother at the church of Nostra Seno- ra del Pillar when the supposed desecra tion of the graves took place, and anoth. CT victim, the little fellow Llera y Medi- na, was with his family in Mantanzas at { le time.

HINTS ON HousEKEEp1Na. i've will give to intellect, and to all virtues, the honor that belongs to them, and still it may be boldly affirmed that economy, taste, skill and neatness in the kitchen, have great deal to do in making life happy and prosperous. Nor i1 it indis- pensably necessary that a house should be filled with luxuries. The qanlifica. tions for all good housekeeping can be displayed as we'll on 8 small scale as on a large one. Skilltul cooking is as readily discovered in nicely baked potato, or Q respectable johnny cake, as in nut brown sirloin, or a brace of canvas backs. The charm of good housekeeping is the order or economy aud taste displayed in attention to little things, and these little things have q wonderful influence. A dirty kitchen and had cooking lave driven many a one from home to seek for comfort and happiness somewhere else. See to it, all ye who are mothers. that your daughters are all accomplished, by an experimental knowledge of good housekeeping.

A Chinese Superstition.

They tell strange story about Chinese superstition. It will he remembered that large portion of the kingdom was flooded not long since by a break in the levee of the river Tez-chin-lin. As dam age was threatened here, Q messenger was sent from Pekin to inspect the threat ened spot. He found @ small hole, and every sign of coming disaster. But in the hole was large fish. This was de- clared to be god, and the conclusion drawn was that it would be impious to try to stop the passage of the waters, as it was plainly t!e will of Heaven that the bank should give way.
 When the catastrophe had actually oc- cured, and successive attempts to fill the breach had failed-the rushing stream having swept piles and reeds awav--the tale grew. It was then said there were two fishes, one of which had gone up the country, while the other re- mained about the opening, and that of course it would be useless to do anything until the wanderer returned. A few days later Tau-tai of Tient sin, in his ca pac:ty of conservator of rivers, &c., had gone to the break in the Eucho, on the West of the city, to sacrifice to Yuen' Shen, fabulous tortoise or fish. who is supposed to control the waters. He went ill great state, ac ,ompanled by other off, cials. Tables were placed upon the riv- er-banks, a tablet, incense urns, candle sticks, and all other necessary parapher- nalia placed in their proper places, and then this strange ceremony began. Be- sides the actual worship, the principal business was long prayer offered by the Tau.tai, who recounted the Sufferings caused by the flood, the frnitless efforts made to stopthe various breaks in the banks of the rivers, and besought the fish-god to allow them now to be repaired. The works at this spot were then recom- menced at once.
 Unfortunately, Yuen-Shen does not seem to have been satisfied, for before long the waters again asserted their pow CT and swept away all the material gath cred to resist them. Then the Tau-tau grew angry and paid another visit to the breach. No incense-no offerings. Can- non took their place and the magistrate roundly rated the god for his non-com- pliance with his wishes. "Didn't tell you so and so, and you paid n" attention ? You don't care for the trouble caused to so many thousands of people, &c., Sc. " Bang! bang! bang! the cannon were let fly at him, and the worthy magistrate went home feeling that he had done his duty! There can be little doubt. wheth- he made any impression on Yuen-Shen or not, that he has to Q certain extent succeeded in convincing the people that he is not responsible for the flood, and in confirming the popular superstition.

A WdifS's History.

A small boy was lately picked up by the Dubuque police, and gave the fol- lowing history:
 I do not know my age, but was born in Sabnla. My parents are both dead. The first I can remember l began to pick up my living here and there, just where could find it. Isome times got little food by doing chores for people, and occasionally some one would give me an old coat, or pair of shoes, when I had any, picked up where they had been thrown away. I never took any food or clothes without leave. I never went to school. slept around in barns and sheds, and sometimes in dry goods boxes, for two Winters slept in a small hut, with an old man, few miles in the wood, and there got nuts and such things as could find, and fish which I caught in the river But lived for two Summers in large hole in the bank of the river up towards Galena, in a place called the "cut-off." We had tirst-rate times and lived like kings, on fish and prairie chickens, ducks and potatoes. There was two boys with me who run away from Galena, One of these boys was named Marvin. I dau't know where he IS now but one time he and had q fine ride in the cars. We went down to Dun leith one day, and when no one was look. ing, we got in a wheat car, soon after the brakeman or somebody came and locked the car, md we rode al the way to Chica- go; and it was a, long ride, but we eat lots of wheat, you bet ! When the man opened the car at Chicago he looked strange at us, and then swore some, hut we got out and run away. I had pretty rough time in Chicago I stayed with [ negro family when I was there. The boys are pretty bad boys iu Chicago When left there I came out to Wiscon sin with circus. I went in to do chores to help fold up tents, &c., and when W, were in Darlington got badly hurt or my arm when was learning to summer sault, and was sick. Then could not work and they scolded me, and kicked me, and ran away the next day.
