What Energy Did.

A correspondent of the New York
Sunday NeDs, in his sketches of Lud-
low Street Jail, tells the following Incl
dent: Three hundred and forty-three
thousand seven hundred and fifty-three
dollars bail was asked for Marquis de
Lafayette Sharkey, the once celebrated
tobacco merchant of New York city,
who was arrested by his partner for al.
leging that the assets and stock OF the
concern had ended in smoke; but it
was not given, and Sharkey remained q
whole year in Ludlow street jail, when
the court of last resort decided he had
been most wrongfully imprisoned. In
the meantime his business had been
entirely ruined and broken up, his wife
sent to an asylum as lunatic, and he
financially bankrupt, for all OF which
he could obtain no redress except that
given by a slow process of law; but
being an energetic man, he preferred
to start in the world anew, rather than
put up with the chances of the laws
slow delay, and without capital, other
than his energy, he set to work, and I
am credibly informed that he has
"struck lie" literally in the Pennsylva-
MIA region, and is in fair way to again
become a half millionaire.

Female Heroes.

Two noble women, young and beauti-
full, named Matte Stevenson and Lulu
Wilkinson, are lying i'll of the fever at
the Walthall Infrmary, Memphis, the
victims of their own disinterestedness
and philanthropy. The former, a ma
tive of Illinois, was visiting some
friends in Bloomington when intelli-
gence that Memphis was in distress
reached her. Saying nothing of what
she intended to do, she Immediately
set ont for that city, and, reaching it,
offered her services to the President of
the Howard Association. She was but
nineteen or twenty years of age, and in
experienced in such duties as she would
have to undertake should her offer be
accepted. At first the President was
inclined not to accept her services, but
she insisted and she was sent to the
Lenher House to await orders. That
night Scotchwoman, i'll of the fever,
was delivered of child, and there was
10 nurse at hand. DR.. Blackburn sent
to the Lehner House for one, and Miss
Stevenson volunteered. She nursed
the poor patients tenderly until they
died, and then went to the aid of 9TH
ers, nursing an old man and woman in
Main street who had that very morning
taken four orphan children under their
protection, two of whom were also now
i'll. Afterwards she was sent to house
in Sullivan street to take charge of five
patients. The severe labor she under
went told upon her system, and she
herself was stricken down and taken to
the infrmary, where she now lies in q
critical condition. Miss Wilkinson, an
orphan of about the same age as Miss
Stevenson, also offered her services to
the Howards, was accepted, worked
heroically, and now lies tenderly cared
for under the same roof as the other
lady. She is thought to be out of dan
ger. Other women have performed and
are performing similar duties and living
up to the highest of woman's rights, a
glory and ornament of their sex. Mem
phis will never forget them.

Wearing Flanneis,

The value of flannel next the skin
cannot be overrated, says Dio Lewis.
1t is invaluable to persons of both sex
es, and all ages, in all countries, in all
climates, at every season of the year,
for the sick and the well-in brief, I
cannot conceive of any circumstances in
which flannel next the skin isnot COM
fort and O source of health. 1t should
not be changed from thick to thin be-
fore the settled hot weather of the sum-
mer, which in the Northern States is
not much before the middle of June,
and often not before the first of July.
And the fannels for the summer must
not be >three-quarters cotton, but they
must be all WOODEN, if You would have
the best protection.
In the British army and navy they
make the wearing of flannel point of
discipline. During the hot season the
ships doctor makes a daily examina-
tion of the men at unexpected hours to
make sure that they have not left of
their fannels.

The Torment of Flame.

Some weeks ago, at the village Of
Reuil, France, celebrated for the burial
place of Queen Hortense and Empress
Josephine, terrible accident ACQUIRED.
A grecer's shop took fire, which was
soon extinguished; crowd collected,
of course one of the firemen had the
imprudence to descend into the cellar
with lighted candle to see if there
were any spirits on fire !; in the course
of few seconds q terrific detonation
was heard and the shop and for yards
around it were enveloped in sheet Of
fame. Several casks of petroleum had
exploded, fifty persons in the crowd
were injured, and eight subsequently
died. The doctor who attended the in
jured has read curious paper on their
burns, all more or less deep. The ex-
posed surface of the body was most
severely attacked, the nails of the
hands, hair, eyebrows, and whiskers
were singed away the skin peeled off
the hands like gloves, and in that state
was picked up in basin of water. For
three hours after the accident the in
iured experienced no pain (; then set in
the most atrocious sufferings, violent
shiverings, and tetanic spasms, and in
extinguishable thirst and delirium
everything they ate or drank appeared
to them to be tainted with petroleum
if they closed their eyes for a moment
they were haunted with petroleum, and
so continued until death relieved their
torture.

PAY rs you Go,

John Randolph once calculated, in
his shrill tones, while member of the
House of Representatives {: "Mr.
Speaker, en- cry Eureka, for I have
found the philosophers stone. 1t is
Pay as you go :" The example OF the
French is given as q case in point. The
French, "who never 60 in debt, and
who have been saving money since the
days of the first Napoleon, have become
the richest people in the world, which
seems proved by the fact that the Ger
man indemnity of thousand millions
of dollars, which they were Obliged to
pay, has been all discharged in two
years, while we have been struggling
for eight years with twice as much.
Perhaps the wealth of the French far
mers arises as much from the small
farm system and the high cultivation
they give the soil. There is vast diff
ference between farming in loose way
and having all work done in the best
manner,

Strong Dissertation.

The following strong figure of speech
was used to illustrate the great size Of
America to a foreigner by his brother,
who could not make up his mind about
emigrating:
"Where did the baccy come from !
why, from 'Meriky, where else ? that
sent us the finest petaty. Long life to
it for both, says !"
"What sort OF place is that, I Won
der ?"
'MerikyI They tell me it's mighty
stable. I'm tould that you might roll
England through it, an it would hard
ly make dint in the ground. There's
fresh water ocean inside of it that
you might dhrown Ireland in, and save
Father Mathew a wonderful sight Of
throuble; and as for Scotland, you
might stick it in corner of one of their
forests, an you'd never be able to find
it, except it might be by the smell of
the whisky !"

Dress OF Our Extremities.

During the damp and cold season,
says Dio Lewis, deficient dress of the
feet and legs is a fruitful source Of
disease. The head, throat and liver are
perhaps the most frequent sufferers.
The legs and feet are far from the CEN
tral part of the body. They are not in
great mass, like the trunk, but extend
ed and developed by the atmosphere.
Besides, they are near the damp, cold
earth. For these and other reasons,
they require extra covering. If we
would secure the highest physiological
conditions, we must give our extremi-
ties more dress than the body. Wewea
upon our legs in the coolest season but
two thicknesses of cloth. The body has
at least six. Women put on them four
thicknesses under the shawl, which,
with the various doublings, furnishes
several more, then, over all, thick
padded furs; while their legs have one
thickness of cotton, under balloon.
They constantly come to me about their
headache, palpitation Of the heart, and
congestion of the liver. Recently, one
said to me, Cali my blood is in my
head and chest. My head goes bump
ety-bump, my heart goes bumpety-
bump"
I asked, Chow are your feet ?"
"Chunks of ice," she replied. I said
to her: elf you so dress your legs and
feet that the blood can't get down into
them, where can it 60? 1t can't 60 out
visiting; it must stay in the system
somewhere. OF course the chest and
head must have an excessive quantity.
SO they go 'bumpety-bump,' and so
they must go, until you dress your legs
and feet in such way that they shall
get their share of blood" In the cold
est season of the year I leave Boston for
bit of tour before the lyceums-
going as far as Philadelphia, and riding
much in the night, without an overeoat;
but L give my legs two or three times
their usual dress. During the coolest
weather, men may wear, in addition to
their usual drawers, pair Of chamois-
skin drawers with great advantage.
When we ride in sleigh, or in the cars,
where do we suffer? In our legs,
of course. Give me warm legs and
feet, and I'll hardly thank you for an
overcoat.
My dear madam, have you head
ache, q sore throat, palpitation of the
heart, congestion of the liver, or indi-
gestion? Wear one, two or three pairs
Of warm; woolen stockings, and thick,
warm shoes. with more or less reduc-
ton in the amount of dress about your
body, and you will obtain the same re-
lief permanently that you would derive
temporarily from warm foot-bath.
I must not forget to say that thin
layer of India.rubber cement upon the
boot-sole will do much to keep the bot
tom of the feet dry and warm.

Vagaries Of the Law.

"June IA, 1866, James Sheppard,
alias Johnson, was tried and convicted
in New York, of passing counterfeit
money and Immediately sentenced to be
imprisoned for ten years at hard labor
in the State Prison" Such is the en-
try of that date in the blotter of Lud-
low street Jail. "I'll never go there
they shall kill me first I'll kill myself
before I'll go there |" and various other
ordinations of a similar nature, with
curses loud and deep were uttered by
Sheppard upon his return from court
that day, he, no doubt, being governed
in his utterance by his experience OF
the glorious uncertainties of the law,
for this was the Sheppard who was for
five years confined in the City Prison
upon q charge of arson and wife MUIR
der; who was three times tried for
murder; twice convicted; three times
sentenced to be executed, and once SEN
fenced to the State Prison for life, but
who, during the whole time, never
once left his prison to execute either
one of the sentences. Once they got
him as far as the outer gate, when he
kicked up his heels, 80 that the sheriff
concluded to send for his counsel, be-
fore forcibly taking him to State Prison.
A stay Of proceedings were obtained,
and the legal lore saved him from the
gallows in the first place, and then from
perpetual imprisonment. He insured
a shanty of his, murdered his wife, then
made funeral pile of his shanty and
burned his wife's corpse to crisp !;
then sued the insurance company fer
his loss. This was the evidence the Fire
Marshal brought out on the several
trials, but through all the bubbles of
the law he escaped the punishment he
80 justly deserved.
After his release from the City Prison
he would often apply for permission to
visit there, his only apparent object
being to see in what condition the fell
low who occupied his cell kept it. But,
at last, he was arrested for passing
counterfeit United States currency, and
came up for trial before court where
writs of error and appeals are but little
known, and where, but for his former
career, he would probably have receiv-
ed a much lighter sentence, so that his
great crime may be considered in a
measure punished by the penalty in
ficted upon him for the lesser one.

Life,

A learned professor intimates that all
who die under one hundred years of
age are guilty OF suicide ! The process
of reasoning by which he arrives at
this conclusion is something as follows:
Duration of life is measured by the
time of growth the camel is eight
years in growing, and lives five times
eight years the horse is five years in
growing, and lives twenty-five years |;
man, being twenty years in growing,
should live five times twenty years. So
Providence having intended man to
live century, he would arrive at that
age if he did not kill himself by un-
wholesome modes of living, violent pas
sions, and exposure to accidents.
Surely, according to this theory, the
human race might well adopt new and
more healthful modes of eating, Sleep
ing, working, and recreating, in the
hope Of becoming eSntenarians.

Old sympathy is chilled by cruel chance.

New friendships early VOWS obliterate;
