A REMEDY FOR CRoUP.-We have been in
teres.ed in reading the following statement
made to us. by an intelligent mother. We give
our readers the benefit Of it, or at least give
them the opportunity to see whether it has an!
heneftr,r-iI..r t-,s'.,< f. ii-".;2 ...i D.G
A, remedy for Group was giyen me by q sister
who heard it from Professor Bronson, a physi-
ological lecturer, since deceased.
Let healthy person fill his lungs with pure
air. then slowly breathe upon the patients
throat and chest, commencing at the point Of
the chin, and moving slowly down to the bot
tom of the windpipe. Repeat for few min.
utes and it will give relief in cases where all
other means fail. ~ ...l-.. 'a-2
My boy was always subject to Group: came
near dying with the rafting, noisy kind, at
about eleven months old. I saved him with
water and ever after prevented 9 serious attack
by watchfulness and water. But when three
years old I let him play in the brook one warm,
rainy day, and he took a severe cold, and had
a still kind of Group the first and last time he
ever had it. In spite of all I could do he grew
constantly worse until he could only gasp and
breathe with his head thrown back. We
thought his last moments had come, when
thought Of and applied Bronson's remedy for
minute. When 1 stopped he looked up. and
said; "Do so again, mother, do," though ne
could not speak when began. You may
be assured that did so again, and l believe it
saved his life.-La,cs Of life.

PARTING THE HAIR.-Efeminate men have
long considered it the thing to part the hair in
the middle, while, on the other hand, dashing
young women, given to masculine ways, de-
light to appear with short, curly hair;parted at
the side. In both cases the parties show them
selves in their true characters. 1t would be
we'll if the law allowed them to change cos
tunes with each other. By Paris letter 1t
appears that this parting is to be the fash
ion. We doubt it, mainly because such 8 di-
vision cannot be becoming unless long dresses
sent to that It is fortunate this is the case.
We do not deny that handsome girl adds to
can we say her beauty? no, rather her style
by parting her hair at the side, but it gives
such an air of fastness that We should not like
the custom to become general. We are of the
same opinion in the matter as was the gentle
man of fitting hoops, who said: "Well, l rath-
er do like filters, 50 long as they are only worn
by other fellows wives"

General Lee expressed himself in full sympa-
thy with them, but could not be brought to be-
lieve that their efforts would be attended with
success. He distrusted President Davis APP
proyal of such step, and was satisfied Mr.
Davis world disapprove Of a request for an in
terview with Mcclellan. General Cobb replied
that If he would allow him to answer the letter
in General Lees name, which he then held in
his hand from Mcclellan, he pledged himself
that without writing about anything but Kear-
ney's horse, he, General Lee, should in less
than twelve. hours receive a,letter from General
Mcclellan requesting an interview. General
Lee was very sad, and they left him very much
in doubt as to his proper course in the premises,
but with the understanding that if he desired
atolm0ye im the matter he would notify them
and require! their assistance. These officers
beard. nothing further from General Lee, and
the matter ended there.
After the close of this statement General
Cobb, for fhe first time, heard from me, in the
relation of what had been stated by McC ClellaIs
staff officer, that similar effort had been made
by the officers in the Federal army to end the
war. -it..ij ''i ~ 80 ~. % 80 - i'''-'

QUEER Eees-A subscriber in Charleston,
S. c., writes an interesting letter graphically
describing the effect produced upon the lcolored
people of his neighborhood by black eggs which
have been laid for two seasons by q duck which
he keeps. Such an occurrence as black egg
may, naturally enough, be construed into an
omen by the superstitious, and is quite as ano-
malous as white black bird. He says: sThe
duck is of an ordinary English breed, with a
white neck.ring and breast: She lays about
fifteen eggs then stops awhile and resumes.
The first egg Of each laying Is as black as the ink
with which your journal is printed, and each
successive one is a shade lighter, until dark
slate color is reached. The color cannot be
washed or rubbed off, but can be removed by
scraping with knife" Our correspondent
asks us TO explain the occurrence we can on
ly say that in many cases of discoloration of
various animal secretions, carbon is the pig
ment deposited, and very likely it is in this in
stance. The eggs) must, be considered abnor-
NAL, yet they may produce ducklings that are
perfectly healthy 1t is worth while to raise
some in order to find whether the trait will
prove hereditary, as i may.-Agricultur'st

WAsHINGToN's; Doa.-Washington it 3s sta
ted, was out hunting in the Virginia forests,
accompanied by his fayorite hound, Governor.
A heavy storm of raif and mist coming up he
lost his way, his powdet was rendered useless,
and, to add to the perils and inconyeniences Of
his situation, he found that he had no! hts
pocket compass with him. In this sorry plight
he wandered in circles, as people do when loss
in the bush, wetted, weary, hungry, for he had
no food save wild berries. He wasalmost e4S
hausted when happy thought occurred TO him.
Tying his pocket-hask and his powder!fask to
his dogs tail, he fastened his long sash atonn6
the animals neck, holding one end In bis hand
Then he planted tremendous kick in the doGs
lumber region. The animal was so completely
surprised at this treatment that he stood for q
moment paraiyzed, then wheeling about ne
struck bee-line for home. It Is curious but
undoubted fact that any sudden alarm or attack
will quicken dogs preceptive faculties, ren>
der more subtle his scent, and powerful his
memory, and induce him, like Marco Boszaris,
to strike for his home. So the dog fled, ana
Washington followed desperately, over stnmps,
through bogs, into briar, until finally the SSH
gave way. With one tremendous yell WASH
fngton scared still further the frantic animal
the terrible banging and gathering of the Aaska
at his heels added to his speed; and in q mo-
ment he was out of sight Aftera hearty laugh
at the incident, Washington leisurely marched
in the direction the dog had taken. 1t was
easy to do 80 by observing the moesy side Of
the trees, the direction of the longer branches,
and the other signs with which an experienced
hunter is acquainted. 1t was not long, there
fore, before he reached clearing and was once
more in safety But, he adds, the dog, once
faithfully attached to him, could not to the day
of its death endure his presence, or even hear
his voice without relapsing into an agony Of
terror.

THE HOUSE AF1RE.-A man once offered
to bet that he would empty the whole of good
winter fire in drawing-room out of the CRATE,
and place it upon the carpet in the room, the
company to be seated around it in circle, and
that the room should not take fire. Mr.. Braid
wood, formerly Captain of the London Fire
Brigade, said that he would have backed such
a bet, and that the fire in such a case would
probably have died out of ITSELF 1t is not
easy to set fire to house without first lighting
curtains or other articles that produce lively
fame. This fact, however, should not make
us less careful respecting the causes of fires.
Nearly all fires can be managed at the outset
by the inmates of the house. BY shutting the
doors and windows, so as to prevent the supply
of mir to the fire, and by resolutey attacking
the flames with water, rugs or blankets, door
mats, &C., the larger part of fires that occur in
dwellng-houscs may be smothered.
