THE MAJORS EXPERIMENT.

SnUT in a certain western fort, some
~ time ago, the major conceived the
idea that artillery might be used effectively
in fighting with the Indians by dispensing
with gun-carriages and fastening the can
non upon backs of mules. SO he explained
his views to the commandant, and it was
determined to try the experiment A
howitzer was selected and strapped upon
ed toward the tail. When they had Sc
cured the gun, and loaded it with ball-car-
fridge, they led that calm and steadfast
mule out to the bluff and set up a target in
rear of the mule was turned toward the
target, and he was backed gently up to the
edge Of the bluff. The officers stood around
in semi-circlc, while the major went up
and inserted time-fuse in the touch-hole
of the howitzcr. When the fuse was ready
the major lit it and retired. In minute
or two the unrufiied mule heard the fizzing
back there on his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around to
ascertain what was going on, and, as he
did so, his body tnrned and the howitzer
began to sweep around the horizon. The
mule at last became excited and his curios-
ity became more and more intense, and in
a second or two he was standing with his
four legs in bunch, making six revolu-
tions a minute, and the howitzer, under
stand, threatening sudden death to every
man within half mile. The commandant
was observed to climb suddenly up a tree;
the lieutenants were seen sliding over the
bluff into the river, as il they didn't care at
all about the high price of uniforms; the
the adjutant made good time toward the
fort; the sergeant began to throw up breast
works with hIs bayonet, and the major rolled
over the ground and groaned. In two or
three minutes there was puff of smoke,
and dull thud, and the mue-oh where
was he p? A solitary jackass might have
been seen turning successive back-somer-
saults over tho bluff, only to rest at anchor,
finally, with his howitzor ut the bottom
of the river while the ball went off to-
ward the fort, hit the chimney in majors
quarters, and ratified the adobe bricks
down into the parlor, and frightened the
majors wife into convulsions. They do
not alude to it now, and no report of the
results of the experiment was ever sent to
the War Department"

Madder, and how it is Prepared.

lHNHE madder of commerce is obtained
Il from the root of plant extensively
grown in the South of Europe and in Asia
Minor, but also produced i'll large quanti-
our own country. The ancient Greeks and
Romans were familiar with its properties
as dye-stuff, as appears from the writings
of distinguished Grccian author. The
stem of this plant lives but one season,
while the roots continue to vegetate year
after year, and are usually gathered when
they have attained growth of several
years. When the external bark is remov-
ed, the soft juicy tissue of the root appears
of reddish color and possesses peculiar
acrid taste. 1t is said by some that the
madder produced in very warm tempera-
lures is superior in coloring substance, and
produces an intenscr shade than that grown
in more moderate climates; that from the
French provinces of Alsace and Avignor be-
ing deemed superior to all other varieties.
But recent analyses of American growth
have established the fact that in tho bright
ness and stability of its coloring properties,
it is not excelled by the product Of any for
eign country.
When the roots are taken from the soil,
they are at once placed in heated ovens,
where they remain until all moisture has
evaporated, after which they are beaten
with wooden slaves until the external COW
ering is pulverized. The entire mass is
then passed thro ugh II umber of sieves of
graduated tineness, until the fibrous por-
tions alone remain. After carefully select
ing the coarsest fibIes, which are regarded
as most valuable, these are again exposed
to the heat, until they become so brittle that
they can be reduced to fragments by the
pressure of the hand. They are then sever
ed into very small pieces by a sharp instru-
ment, pulverized by machinery, and the
powder, being sifted by means of n bolter,
is packed in casks ready for export. There
are many grades of maddcr offered in the
market, and their quality is graduated by
the amount of care and trouble bestowed
upon their preparation.
Some varties contain the external cover
ing of the bark, the trash rejected by the
sieves and other impurities. These may
readily be detected by the complexion of the
madder thus adulterated, which is al lways
much darker than the genuine article. Like
wine, madder is improved by age, and, if
allowed to remain undisturbed in the casks,
undergoes process of fermentation, after
the lapse of a few years, which greatly
improves its qualities. The largest impor-
tations of madder into this country are
produced in Turkey and the French prov
inces of Alsace and Avignon. To calico
printers this dye is almost invaluable, as it
enters more largely than any other into the
composition of the great variety OF tints
required in coloring cottons.

L5S- A well-known doctor of divinity was
riding the other day in n street car in com
pany with friend. He is positive man
and resents an insult quite vehemently.
Earnestly engaged in conversation, he
handed the conductor ticket as he came
to collect the fare. The conductor did not
move on. AS he remained studying the
ticket, the doctors attention was attracted
toward the official, who seems to be highly
interested in the car ticket. He read it,
smiled, shook his head, and finally said to
the doctor--"This may be all very well
but the ticket is not good on this line"
whats the reason it's no good,
should like to know" said the testy doc
tor Its one of your own tickets;
bought it this morning"
81 guess not" said the conductor.
The alteration drew the attention of all
the passengers.
"This is very good advice, but it will
not pass you over this line;" and the con-
ductor read: "Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain"
An explanation followed-amid which
the doctor paid his fair and left the car
lie has concluded to keep his religious
cards in one pocket and his car tickets in
another.

A Singular Accidental Death.

A singular story of an accidental death is
reported by the legal journals. A young
man of 90, living near Orleans, who figured
as volunteer in the army of tho Loire,
was lately invited to birthday festival by
an uncle in the Rue Vauairani, Paris
The banquet was gay, and the youthful
hero enlivened the conversation by recount
ing his har-breadth escapes during the
war, and how he was extricated, with diff
Guilty, alive from heap of dead and dying.
He was congratulated on his good luck,
and it was the general opinion that he must
have been born under fortunate star.
The party had scarcely adjourned to the
drawing room, when the volunteer OF the
Loire rendered that he had left some
thing in the dining room and went back to
look for it. In a dark passage he met a
maid servant carrying pile of plates.
From the middle of the pile there stuck
out the blade of a carving-knife, against
the sharpened point Of which he ran. The
end of the handle pressed against the girls
chest, and the superintendent weight of
plates gave the weapon deadly impetus.
The steel entered the young mans breast
and so severely wounded him that he died
in few moments after he had told his
friends how the accident had happened

THE TEETH.

About the middle of the last century
wrote sensibly about what he saw. He
observed frequent loss of teeth among
settlers from Europe, especially women.
After discussing and rejecting many modes
of explanation, he attributed it to hot tea
and other hot beverages; and came to a
general conclusion that shot feeders lose
their teeth more readily than cold feeders"
Mr.. Catlin, who some years ago had an in-
teresting exhibition of Indian scenery,
dresses, weapons, &C., noticed that the
North American Indians have better teeth
than the whites. He accounts for the diff
ference in this strange way--that the reds
keep the mouth shut, whereas the whites
keep it open. The teeth, he says, require
moisture to keep their surfaces in good
working order; when the mouth is open.
the mucous membrane has tendency to
dry up, the teeth lose their needed supply
of moisture, and thence come discoloration,
toothache, tic-douloureux, decay. looseness,
and eventual loss of teeth. Mr.. Catln
scolds the human race generally for being
less sensible than the brutes in this respect,
and the white race especially in compari-
son with the red. We keep our mouths
open far too much; the Indian warrior
sleeps, hunts and smiles with his mouth
shut, and respires through the nostrils.
Among the virtues attributed by him to
closed lips, one is excellent-when you are
angry, keep your mouth shut.

tB- A young man in Sunbury was fish.
ing in the canal one day last fall, when the
cook of a passing canal-boat tumbled over
board. He plunged in and rescued her,
and she thanked him, asked his name,
Climbed upon the deck of her vessel, and
sailed away. Last week the youth was sur
prised by a visit from the maiden and her
father. The old man rushed mp, seized his
hand, and said: "You saved the girl, she's
yourn. Take her, my son, take her and
be happy, with fathers blessing. No
man shall say that I'm ungrateful." The
maiden moved forward as IL to seek an en-
brace, but the gallant youth dashed
through the window and fed, pursued by
the parent and his child. He has since
written home from the far West to say
that If he ever perceives another canal-boat
cook In the canal, he win tie cargo Of an
wills to her neck TO hold her down.

Since the last report large quantity of corn
and oats, some wheat and some flour has come
down the river on fat boats. The sales of corn
at the river bank were to shippers, at 68a69c,
and to local dealers, 20 to Tic. Oats and wheat
went below seeking better market The
flour was bought up for the local demand
at prices ranging from ST 25a4 so for extra,
and 81 6Oa4 80 per sack for family brand.
But one lot of bacon came down on the
tide. About six thousand pounds sold at Tic.
No hay has been received up to this writing.
The local demand is good at fair prices. The
supply of seed clover and timothy is exhausted.
The demand, it seems, exceeded the calculations
of seed dealers In consequence of the scarcity,
prices are up little. A good local demand ex-
lists for lard and hams. Potatoes, except early
varieties for seed, are neglected. The farmers
are buying ground plaster freely; it is hoped
this will increase the productions of their land
