How BILL OF FARE PUZzLED

How A BILL OF FARE PUZZLED THE
INDIANs.-At dinner Whitewash in-hls-
Eve called to him 4 waiter. who said
ugh ? as delicate compliment, and
handed him bill of fare. The chieftain
pointed to the first item, and said Ugh!
The waiter said ugh ! ana returned
with cup of coffee. Now, even though
u cup of coffee is a good thing, it IS
hardly meal for man. So the brave
said ugh = again, and pointed to the
second item. The waiter said Ugh
retired, and returned with cup OF green
tea A third interchange OF 'Ughs
resulted in a cup of black tea, and
fourth in cup of mixed tea. In des-
pair, the brave, uttered an angry Ugh!
shat made the waiter turn pale, and
pointed to the last item on the bill, evi-
IDENTIFY being anxious to get as tar away
from the teas as possible. The waiter
faltered Ugh = and hurried back with
tumbler of iced tea. The others, warned
by the example and fate of their com
rade attacked the bill of fare in media
res One struck pay eat, under the
head broied, and had an abundant II
not varied meal of mutton chops, veal
outlets. broiled chicken, pork chops, sir
loin steak, porter-house steak, Boston
steak, &c. Combining their information,
the remaining members of the party
wandered over the bill OF fare, taking
every division by starts, and none OF
them long. The result was eminently
satisfactory to the aboriginal stomach,
which is capacious and has no preIudices
as to the succession and relative proper

Gold and Silver.

In an article on gold and silver, Dir
Mackenzie gives rs the following items
One may easily imagine how metallic
money, or coin, becomes diminished il
weight by the constant handling it gets
in the way Of business. This idea can
be realized by recollecting how much
worn by use and therefore diminished
in value, the old Spanish coins known as
"levies" aud clips" used to be.
They ceased to circulate some four.
teen years ago, and the constant wear
and tear of circulation had worn them
down, oft-times, to the thinness of bit
of tin Effigy and inscription We're us
ually worn out, and at last those out of
date pieces of money We're not worth
more than one half of their nominal
value.
AS every one knows gold and silver
necessary to alloy it, by Incorporating
with it some portion D! an inferior
metal-almost always cprer. Gold,
which is the most valuable is always one
of the softest of all metals. Ny mother
used to wear gold ring wlich my father
had brought with him fom the East
Indies, and / well remembr that it had
slight tinge Of red (someof the poets
mention the red gold, y md being en-
tirely without alloy, WAS so soft, that
when worn, it did not retin its circular
form, but accommodated itself to the
shape OF the finger uponwhich it had
been placed.
1t has been necessary, tdncrease their
hardness and durability, to alloy the
precious metals. The god sequin of
Turkey and the silver floriB of Hanover
stood alone, in later time, as being al
most absolutely pure. Ii state of
nature certain quantityjf silver is al
most invaribly found milgled with the
gold, and where or when is not easy
to seperate them, the silve is allowed to
remain, as a natural alloy.
The gold doubloons of South America
have their pale appearanc,from the sill |
yer thus retained in them. When Spain |
still possessed her Amerian provinces,
it was believed that, in all the silver
money coined there-paticularly the
dollars-there was Il potion of gold
which, from imperfect meas OF refining,
had remained in the silver
In some parts of Euroe, where the
gold has been entirely sepGated, and an
alloy Of copper introduced for coming,
the money has a red tinge-not like that
Of the the gold in the EastIndia ring /
have mentioned, but of n cQpery hue.
In the United States Min at Philadel-
phis, to which strangers Eere admitted
every forenoon, the aim to initiate the
true color of gold as closiy as possible,
by the use of an alloy of rue-tenths cop
per and one tenth silvr-that is, q
thousand ounces of stal1ard gold will
consist of nine hundred ounces of pure
gold, ninety ounces Of copper and ten of
silver. All the gold con OF this country
consists o nine hundred
parts eff pare metal nd one hundred
parts of alloy. This rakes fineness OF
which the "standard'
gold required by Ia. In the eagle,
there must be two hndred and fifty
eight grains. In estimating the value OF
fine metal contained i coin, nothing is
allowed for the alloy.

WHY She Refused.

You say 9ou went to a party last night,
and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend,
whom you had not seen since she and
your sister were at school together. You
had very pleasant talk until supper,
then you gave her your arm and took
her to supper When some ono came
along with n few glasses of wine on a
waiter and offered her glass. You saw

wondered why Mrs. Smith, who didn't

How TO UNITE THE ENDS OF LEAD
PIPE.-Whatever the size of the pipe
may be, procure block Of hard wood,
say four or five inches long, and four
inches in diameter bore o hole straight
through the centre, so nearly the size of
the pipe that the block can be driven on
the end Of the pipe with light hammer.
If one has set of anger bits, it will not
be difficult to select bit of the proper
size to make n water-tight fit. Let the
block be driven clear on the pipe, so that
the end of the pipe will be flush or even
with the end of the block Now place
the two euds of the pipe together, and
drive the block off one pipe on the other,
until the joint will be at the middle OF
the block. If the hole in the block is
made of the proper size, the block will
fit so closely that the joint will be water
hght; and, if the ends of the pipe are
dressed off true and square, the joint
will be so strong that it will sustain the
pressure of head or column of water
one hundred feet high. Iron pipe may
be united in the same manner. Should
the joint leak IA trihe, let shingle be
driven into the wood around the pipe so
as to press the timber firmly all around
the pipe. This mode of joining pipe
will be found very convenient.

LONDON London is spoken of as the
largest city in the world; as covering
one hundred and twenty two square
miles of ground, as being ten miles in
length, and over six in breadth, and as
containing nearly four millions ofinhab-
itants. Still we have no adequate con
ception of its vastness. We must resort
to comparison to comprehend it. The
four millions of inhabitants of London,
then, exceed the combined population of
New York, Brooklyn, st. Louis, Chicago
Baltimore, Cincinnati, Boston, New Or
leans, San Francisco and Buffalo. To
feed this multitude requires, among
other items. five million four hundred
thousand barrels of -four, and three mil
hon four bundled thousand animals
bullocks, sheep, calves and hogs-for
the London markets, irrespective Of i'm
mense quantities of fish. 1t is almost a

A RURAL WEDDNG.--One Of those old
time weddings took place in Uniontown,
Penn, few days ago. A young gentle
man and lady, strangers to everybody
there, called on the squire to get married.
The young man was carrying his shoes in
his hand on account of stone bruise and
had on his shoulders long, narrow sack.
In one end he had something resembling
wearing apparel, and in the front end he
had small dog, with its nose sticking ont
of hole. The young lady had in her
arms large Maltese cat, with pink RIB
bon around its neck, fastened with q neat
breast pin. When they came to the of
flee the young man refused to go in, but,
she, taking hold of his coat, said: "Come
on, | amt afraid" Finally he went in.
She says: esquire we want to get mar

:" want to know how much this job
costs" The price was agreed on, and in

THE LABOR OF DECIDING. The great
labor of life, that which tends more to
exhaust men than any thing else, is de.
Gliding. There are people who will suf-
fer any other pain readily, but shrink
from the pain of coming to a decision.
Now. this supposed to be wholly an
evil and disadvantageous thing for the
world but, like most other tendencies
of the human mind, it is u very bene
ficent arrangement. There would be no
stability in the world if the making Of
decisions were not very difficult thing.
What was decided yesterday would be
upset to-day and there would be no
long and fair experience of any thing.
Whereas, in the present state of human
affairs, even if great evil exists, and
many people have recognized this evil.
it requires an immense amount of de-
cision and decisiveness before tho evil
can be uprooted This brings into play
many high qualities of human nature,
such as long suffering, patience with
and the exhaustion Of reason
ing powers brought to bear upon the
evil which is sought to be destroyed
