French Watering PLACES


To sum up the impressions which the
Norman Watering places are sure to
leave upon man who loves rest when
he can get it and amusement when he
cannot You will find at Dieppe, Ire
port, Fecamp, Etretat and Trouyille,
all such sweets as French life yields,
and may study the interesting natives
of this country aa nGfltreg They are
always breezy and facetious. but never
more so than at the seaside, for mari
time air meorks their spirits, as it
were, and makes them fiz like Roede-
rer on the pop. It just occurs to me
that it is perhaps a mereiful thing that
Paris should not be located on the sea,
for fail to see how any government
could control for single week popu-
lation which cantered about on donkeys,
went sporting with toasting forks, and
waltzed publicly to fill up the inter-
walls. These mvigorating pursuits de
velop the muscular fibre, and yet it
must not be supposed that the visitors
neglect their education or fail to keep
themselves accurately informed as to
names and titles of foreign celebrities.

Disease of Hogs.

The Planter and Farmer gives these
receipts for the treatment of cholera.
mango. and worms in hogs There
are but three diseases requiring treat
ment, which are mango, cholera, and
worms In the kidneys commonly called
breaking down in the loins. For mango,
wash well with lye soap, and then pot
liquor. For cholera, If you know the
disease, as soon as you see the hog be
gin to droop and try to vonnit, gag him,
and give him twenty grains of calomel
made into pill. If you have been in
the habit of giving your hogs spirits Of
turpentine, at the rate of one table
spoonful to the hog, put it on corn, and
you will be rarely troubled with this
fatal disease.
If the first dose of calomel does not
relieve in twenty-four hours, repeat the
dose. rarely have to repeat it if adj
ministered in time. We sometimes see
hogs dragging their hind legs. This is
caused by worms IN the kidney, and
may be easily cured by giving table
spoonful of turpenJine every morning
for three or four days mixed with corn.
Hogs which have been feeding on aeorns
are most subject to this disease, and
should have the turpentine at least
twice a week while feeding on this mast.
Every hog feeder should keep bottle
of the spirits of turpentine, and give it
occasionally through the year he will
find It of great benefit to his hogs. I
have practiced this for twenty years
successfully. 1t seems to be a specific
food for all hog diseases.

oolored Jews.

In the city of Cochin, Hindostan,
says the Jewish Times, live some 2, 900
colored Israelites, whose skin is not so
dark as that of the genuine Ethiopian.
They are Jews in every sense, worship
the God of their fathers, the only true
Jehovah, and are intellectually the SUI
periors of the white population of the
place. According to their own account
their origin is as follows The conquest
of a portion of the East Indies by the
Europeans opened TO commerce a wide
field and attracted multitude of specu-
lators from all parts of the world.
Among these were many young Israel
ties from Bagdad, Bassorah and Yemen,
who came to make their fortune in the
new Eldorado. After they had settled
down they purchased from the negroes
black female slaves, many of whom
were afterward converted and then mar
ried by their masters. It was from
these marriages that the present race
descends. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written on parchment,
have been found among the Cochin
Jews

John Paul's Ambition.

In early youth It was the height of
my ambition to be a stage-driver. Later
in life. when troubles multiplied upon
me and my consistent and edifying life
made me many enemies, the omnibus
driver became the object of my special
envy. he is perched so serenely on his
elevated boxi On summer days, when
the sunshine is a little too severe to be
pleasant, he can obtain an enormous
umbrella of some manufacturer anxious
to advertise his goods, by simply de-
posting a dollar, which dollar Is re-
turned to him when he brings back the
umbrella. I have never been able to
borrow an umbrella on these terms.
And then if he sees an enemy crossing
the street he can pick him up on his
pole and carry him a block or two If
he impales him it doesn't matter much,
omnibus-drivers are never hanged,
neither do they marry. Nor is it ne
eessaFy that he wait fOr his enemy to
attempt to cross the street he can 60
for him On the sidewalk, spear him on a
balcony, lift him from a third-story
window, if he SO choose. His horses
aid him willingly. When you see IN
omnibus horse fix his eye on you, be-
ware you are a gone man. There Is
no escape from his diabolical intentions,
and if you are particular about little
things, and want your name spelt right
out on the cOffin-plate, see the engraver
at once. Talk of blank-horse cavalry
] would sooner face whole brigade of
them than stand the charge of q single
omnibus horse Of any color whatever
Think what the Six Hundred would
have done at Balaklava had they been
mounted on six hundred omnibuses
drawn by twelve hundred wall-eyed
horses If ever a charge of this kind
occurs, let me be its Tennyson. But
just now my ambition is to be the jockey
OF the winning horse to ride past the
grand stand in streaked and speckled
with my hand over between
the horses ears, and everybody applaud
ing. ladies and all
How sweet the looks that ladies' bend
On whom their favors fall
when you win the faverish-colored
gloves from them. Negotiations are
going on with a purpose, and hope
soon to be a jockey and with the jock
eys stand-the grandest stand of ali, to
my thinking. At present my weight is
rather heavy, but I am drinking Ha-
thorn water, and shall either be n losing
Ghost or a winning iocky in the end.

Tobacco-eirls Of Spain.

The moral condition OF the sunny
land of Andalusia is not Of high stand
ard; therefore, we must expect to
hear that morals among the lower elas-
ses of Seville are Of a very loose char
acter. The girls of the tobacco manu-
factory bear significant reputation,
and are almost considered a class by
themselves. All Seville girls have
glossy black hair and sparkling eyes,
and though, to our tastes, they uld
not be called pretty or beautiful, they
are exceedingly handsome. Many such
girls are to be found in the ranks of the
tobacco-workers With all the obvious
miseries that hang about them, their
unabashed assurance does not fail to
create timely amusement at our ex-
pense. During our walk through the
shops, familiar jests-which, unhappi-
ly, through our ignorance of the Ian
guage, are lost upon us, bland smiles
and mischievous glances greet us in all
directions. Unequivocal applications
for gratuities are general, and one bevy
of girls, engaged In carrying away the
finished bundles of cigars, concert e
very neat practical joke, which causes
considerable merrimsnt. My light and
somewhat curly hair is apparently GU
riosity amongst the raven locks of Sc
Williams, and an attempt is made to cut
off souvenir, probably as a trophy of
skill to be hung up in the shop how
ever, the snip of the scissors saves the
curls, but the merry laugh is at my ex-
pense. Amongst the women are many
unmistakable gypsies, who display a
marked contrast in feature and charac-
ter to the others. A sullen manner,
offensive staring looks, and a repulsive-
ly dirty condition, are characteristics
which we already well know and shrink
from. A great number of children of
tender years are at work, who seem to
act rather as assistants to more ad-
vanced hands than as piece-workers
themselves.
Quick as are the fingers of the cigar
makers, the folders Of the little paper
cigarettes move faster still. I must con-
fess look upon eigar-maHing as a mys-
terious art. Being non-smoker, I
have never. seriously studied the busi-
ness; true, have frequently tried to
make one of these insignificant articles,
but to my discredit I have invariably
failed. My admiration is complete
when witnessing the mechanical pre-
cision, the skill, and quicl1ness of these
cigarette makers. We stand Watching
one old gypsy-looking woman and two
children SO long that she very proba-
bly, feels she has claim upon us for
the instruction we have received there
fore, as in previous cases, we have to
pay a few coppers for the lessons.
Other girls are busily engaged in weigh
ing and wrapping up small packets of
tobacco, and on the ground-fioor is a
large department for making snuff. All
these productions entail large staff of
carpenters making cases, packers pre-
pairing consignments for shipping or
home trade, porters, wagoners and teams
of horses; the yards are filed with
piles of heavy packages and ready for
despatching; and, with foremen, clerks
and officials, it is as busy place of bu-
siness as can be found anywhere in Eu-
rope.

Limits Of Multiplication.

Every species of creature goes on null
tiplying till it reaches the limit at which
its mortality from all causes balances its
fertility. Diminish its mortality, by
removing or mitigating any oneof these,
and inevitably its numbers increase un-
til mortality and fertility are again in
equilibrium. However many injurious
influences are taken away, the same
thing holds, for a reason that the re-
naming injurious influences grow more
intense. Either the pressure on the
means of subsistence becomes greater;
or some enemy of the species, multi
plying in proportion to the abundance
of its prey, becomes more destructive
or some disease, encouraged by greater
proximity, become more prevalent.
This general truth, everywhere exem-
plifed among inferior races of beings,
holds of the human race. True, it is In
this case variously traversed and obscure.
By emigration, the limits against which
the population continually presses are
partially evaded by improvements in
production, they are continually re-
moved further away; and along with
increase of knowledge, there comes an
avoidance of detrimental agencies.
Still, these are but qualifications of an
Inevitable action and reaction,

A Very Surprising Surprise Party.

Those surprise parties, somehow,
nearly always turn out unpleasantly
They tell about one that came off up IN
Connecticut recently which was not
half as joyous as it should have been.
It was reported of a man and his wife,
who had been married for many years
without having any children, that they
had at last been made happy by the
birth of a daughter. Some of their
friends determined to give the man a
presentation surprise party. So aboutfor-
typersons marched up to the house, one
evening, carrying a cradle, and lots of
gum-rings, and bibs, and bottles with
gum nozzles, and a baby-carriage, and
some little night-gowns, and coral
armlet, and gross of soothing syrup,
and paregoric. And they all burst into
the parlor at once on tip-toe. And
when the man, In amazement, asked
them what they meant by such conduct,
they said they were coming quietly, so
as not to wake the baby. And when he
blushed and stammered and asked,
"What baby ?" they said his baby, and
began to hand him the things, and to
load him up with soothing syrup and
cummings, until he hoored one of the
guests with a quart bottle of paregoric,
and held him down until he expired
And then it was revealed that it was all
a mistake about that little daughter /;
that no such arrival had taken place at
all, but that the report was false. And
then the surprise party was a great
deal more surprised than the man was
and the guests gathered up that infant
furniture and tried to pretend to the
man that they never thought he had a
daughter, but that they understood he
had accepted position as director of
an orphan asylum, and that they
brought around few things for him to
distribute among the poor fatherless
children. The man said it was singu-
larly thin, and then the company went
home. The constitutional convention
ought to adopt some kind of a measure
to prevent these mistakes.-MarA AdeLer

The Sanitary influence Of Iiel


! The sanitary influence Of light can
scarcely be over-estimated. It is essen
tial to the full development of nearly
all animal and vegetable organisms.
Plants, when deprived of the influence
Of light, become blanched and stunted
in growth, the process of fixing the car
bon In their tissues is arrested, a modi-
cation of the coloring principles takes
place, and they appear white instead OF
green. This is termed etiolation, or
blanehing, and is applied by the garden
er and horticulturist, in the case of
certain kinds of vegetables, to impove
their edible qualities. Childhood be-
ing, peculiarly, a period of growth
and development, it is especially i'm
portant that children should have the
fullest possible benefit of exposure to
direct sunlight. Many of the diseases
of the weak and emaciated children who
are reared in the narrow streets and
crowded tenement-houses of our large
cities, are attributable to the deficiency
of light and air. The sad effects of the
absence of light are, unfortunately, not
confined to those who, by the pressure
of poverty, are compelled to dwell in
localities and habitations where the so
lar rays vainly strive to enter. In many
elegant mansions, whose occupants can
command every luxury within the reach
of wealth, we see the most ingenious
means adopted for effctually excluding
light, with the inevitable result of seri-
ously impairing the health of the in
mates. The nursery, where children
necessarily spend so large portion of
their time, particularly during the
colder seasons of the year, should be
plentifully supplied with windows, and
should be selected with special refer
ence to the facility for securing the
genial and cheering influence of the
sun. Greenhouses are constructed so
as to secure the greatest supply of
light, and children require as much
light as plants. Light is not only
essential to the preservation of health,
but is equally important in the treat
ment of diseases. There are a large
number of disorders which may be
greatly benefited, if not cured, by free
exposure to the light of the sun, while
it certainly exerts an influence on the
mind favorable to recovery, which can
not be wholly explained by the mere
cheerfulness and calmness it produces.

A Fort Garland letter to the Pueblo
People, thus describes q sad accident
that lately occurred IN that vicinity
Recently two Mexican boys, Jesus Maria
and Juan de Ia Cruz Limbustero, were
taking a herd of sheep across the sand
hills of the ssLomas del Arreno, +" about
twenty-four miles northerly from Fort
Garland. These sand hills extend out
into the San Luis valley about fifteen
miles, opposite the MoscO pass. The
herders undertook to make a " short
cut across the hills, instead of going
around as directed by their father. Al
first everything moved gaily; the boys
and sheep and dogs only sank few
inches in the white sand, and they
thought how foolish 1t was of old fogies
to go around twenty miles, when it was
only four across; but before they got
half across, one of those sudden storms
arose. Up came a gentle breeze, the
breeze became a wind, and the wind an
awful hurricane; the sand moved about
In binding clouds, hills changed to
holes, and every hole was a seething
caldron. The poor boys struggled hard
to avert their doom, and Jesus Maria
managed, by drawing his serape over
his head, and keeping his feet, and
climbing as the sand piled up around
him to survive the tornado but his
younger brother, Juan de Ia Cruz, sue
cumbed to the suffocating blast, and as
a ship goes down at sea, so sank the
boy, surrounded by his bleating sheep
and whining dogs, and when the storm
ceased, as suddenly as it commenced,
little Jesus found himself all alone,
with quiet mounds of glistening sand
all around him, and not trace Of the
cruel storm nor wreck of the sad
disaster could be seen. He hurried
home, where he arrived the next day,
and told his tale of terror. The whole
plaza turned out to search for the lost
body and the missing sheep. Up to the
succeeding afternoon they had not re-
covered over four hundred sheep, most
of them being found about six feet be-
low the surface, and the natives from
plazas had hocked in to the
scene, and were bnsily engaged digging
out sheep, saving the wool and feasting
on mutton.

THE AMERICAN PREss.-Mr. Waiter
son of the Louisville Journal told Emily
Faithful that what Thackeray said Of
the writings Of Henry Fielding might
be applied, in his opinion, TO the Ameri-
can press "The cloth is none Of the
eleanest, the dishes might be better
chosen, indeed, the company makes but
q small show Of courtliness, and is often
vulgar and ill-mannered. But, on the
whole. it has a iovial happy-facuity Of
standing by the weak and resisting the
strong, Of satirizing the wicked, expos
ing the base, detecting the false, and
cheering the unfortunate, which could
only come to 3 press whose roots are
nourished by a free soil, and whose
great bougbs, spreading ont wider and
thicker, shelter a free people"

CIDER VnEGAR.-We have often been
surprised at the great haste exhibited by
many orchardists to dispose of their ci-
der as soon as It comes from the mill,
when there is no product Of the farm

barrel Of cider for three dollars and put
it into q dry cellar with the bung open
There il lay q year, and on examining It.

How TO DISCOVER ONES TRUE STA
TIoN.-Though it may be granted that
the words of the catechism, which re-
quire a man to do his duty in the station
to which it has pleased God to call him,
give an admirable definition of our OBJ
legation to ourselves and to society yet
the question remains How is any given
person to find out what is the particular
station to which it has pleased God to
call him ? A newborn infant does not
come into the world labeled scavenger,
shopkeeper, bishop or duke. One mass
of red pulp is Just like another, to all
outward appearance And it is only by
finding out what his faculties are good
for, and seeking, not for the sake of
gratifying paltry vanity, but as the
highest duty to himself and to his fell
low-men, to put himself in the position
in which they can attain their full de-
velopment, that the man discovers his
true station. That which is to be la
mented, 1 fancy, IS not that society
should do its utmost to help capacity to
ascend from the lower strata to the
higher, but that it has no machinery by
which to facilitate the descent Of in
capacity from the higher strata to the
lower. r.-HlGriey.

THE CIRCULATION OF WATERs.-The
principles involved in the circulation of
the waters of the sea were beautifully
shown before the Royal geographical
society recently, by a simple expert
ment. A trough, with plate-glass sides,
about six feet long and a foot deep. but
not more than an inch wide, was flied
with water. At one end a piece Of ice
was wedged in between the sides TO re-
present the polar cold, while the tropic
heat was represented at the other end
by bar of metal laid across the surface
of the water, the projecting end of
which was heated by r spirit lamp.
Red coloring matter was then put in
the warm end, so that the current could
be traced. The blue water, chilled by
contact with the ice, Immediately fell
down to the bottom, crept slowly along,
and gradually rose toward the surface,
at the equatorial end, after which it
gradually returned along the surface to
the starting point. The red water
crept first along the surface to the polar
end, then fell to the bottom just as the
blue had done, and formed another
stratum. creeping back along the bottom
and coming to the surface. Each color
made a distinct circulation during the
half hour in which the audience viewed
the experiment.

PUscHRR Of NurembGrg has lately
suggested g solution of castor oil in an
absolute alcohol for the purpose Of
manufacturing a tracing paper. The
oil is to be diluted with one, two or
three times its bulk Of alcohol, according
to the thickness of the paper, and the
amount consequently required for rem
dering it transparent. This can be laid
on by means Of a sponge; and in s very
few minutes after the application the
