GREEN OYSTERS. The green oyster is high
ly esteemed by epicures as being Far r! more de.
licious in flavor than the white. Hitherto Il
has been supposed that the green color could
not be produced out of certain favored local.
ties, the Marennes basins, for instance, in
France, sheltered bays 10 the Hebrides, and on
the coast of Scotland, etc. This ,supposltlNonn
proves to be incorrect, as according to NJ.
Rochebrune, of the French revenue service, ne
has succeeded in growing green oysters at
Arcachon, where they were never grown be-
fore. Scientific Miscellany. r.
It is q curious fact in this connection, that at
irregularly recurring periods the oysters IN GER
tain Virginia waters assume bright green
ii nge which covers the gills. The planters and
takers have formed no satisfactory. theories as
to the cause of this phenomenon, though many
of them affirm that the discoloration is a dis
ease. The public, however, do not share our
rejection of this belief, and the green.gilled
oyster is generally in little demand, and brings
lower price than bivalves Of the Ordinary
color Our experience sustaius the decision OF
the French epicures. The green oyster is gen
orally fat and always Of fine flavor. Rich.

A SCENE. During discussion before q
committee Of the New York Legislature, Dex'
ter A. Hawkins prominent lawyer, and Mr..
Hugh Hastings, editor of the New York Com
mercial, were pitted against each other Mr..
Hawkins was making his argument when Hast,
iugs seized him by the arm rather rudeiy, and nd
admonished him against making any incorrect
statements. Hawkins shook him off, and look
ing at him scornfully called him a vsgabond,
and told him not to interfere again: At being
called vagabond Mr.. Hastings took exceptions
which he manifested by sapping Mr. HAWKINS
mouth with the back Of his hand. Mr.. HaW.
kins did not retaliate this second insult, and so
peace was speedily proclaimed.

4 " Happy - Bride.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon, the
poetess, was but twenty-five when l
met her." writes Robert Dale Owen.
"Her after story was q sad one. At
the age of thirty-six she married a Mr..
Maclean, who had been appointed gov
ernor of British settlement on the
coast of Africa. Bulwer (not then
Lord Lytton) gave her away. At the
wedding breakfast large number of
literary celebrities were present, and
more than one of them took occasion to
express in fattering terms their high
appreciation of the amiable and talent
ed lady from whom they were now,
alas! about to part, perhaps for long
years. In reply the bridegroom rose
and, in the coolest tone said 'he hoped
Mrs. Maclean would deserve these
encomiumsr Years afterwards, Bull
wer, relating the circumstances to an
intimate friend, added, Imagine what
q shock it must lave been to us. The
poor bride turned pale as sheet, and
not n guest at the table but deplored
her fate.

SPONTANEOUS Combustion of Hay.

That hay, if stacked when not thor
oughly dry, becomes considerably
heated, has long been a well known
fact, but spontaneous combustion was
not known to have occurred. A case OF
this is described. 1t happened on a
farm not far from Munich. The stack
in question was % feet long, % feet
high, and 16 feet thick; it leaned, or
west and south, against solid masonry,
and q smaller heap of hay was on its
north side. On removing five feet from
the top one or two sparks made their
appearance. Water was poured on, but
the exposed aftermath now gave smo ke
and sparks at various points, and Ires.
emily burst into flame. 1t was colored
dark brown. To save the smaller stack
a division was cut, and the workmen, III
doing so, we're nearly suffocated by the
gas probably carbonic oxide) which
streamed out.
The state of the glowing mass was
that of real carbon. Heated i'll a glass
tube, it gave off empyreumatic matter.
When quite cooled it had no pyrophor-
GUS properties but if inclosed in
vessel and heated in an oil bath to n
temperature of $50 or 300 degrees c.,
and thereafter made into heap, it at
first quickly cooled so much that one
might hold it in the fingers, but after
some minutes the heat increased again,
and several parts appeared suddenly
red-hot; the glowing continued till the
heap was reduced to ashes. On the
other hand, if the carbonwas so strongly
heated that all empyreuma was expelled,
it did not, after cooling, take fire in air.
1t is thought, therefore, that this sub
stance probably plays a part in the
spontaneous combustion. Green after
math, heated in glass, in oil bath, to
300 degrees c., is consumed in few
minutes after shaking out.

HydrOphObia Cured.

The Medical Record gives an account
of cure in a case of bydrophobia. A
little girl was bitten by a mad dog, who
tore out of her right check a piece the
size of silver dollar, and also bit her
right arm and leg. She was treated by
Immediately cauterizing the wound
with a saturated solution of carbolic
acid, and keeping it wet constantly
with weaker solution of the same,
while two drops of liquor ammonia
fortis were given her every two hours
in water. Three days afterward the
wound was cauterized second time
with nitrate of silver and the dose OF
ammonia was increased to three drops.
This treatment was continued till August
9, the wound not being allowed to be
dry a single instant during the whole
period, and it was healed without leav-
ing a scar. AS two years have since
elapsed without symptoms OF the poison,
it is believed that the patient is entirely
out of danger.

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE
We congratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR BTTERs
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures OF
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton, and general debility, as we hear
of from all quarters, as tie results Of
this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spirit
uous liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with /;
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated. If public opinion is capable
of making any impression upon the
minds of the Faculty, they will ere long
introduce the most popular of modern
medicines into the hospitals, and pre-
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it.-Com.

SWindling Advertisements.

The editor of the Franklin Register,
in giving his reasons for rejecting
certain class of advertisements, says
"Years ago we were post-office detec-
tive, and in that position we learned q
thousand things about swindling adver-
tisements that the confding public do
not and cannot understand. We learned
that the old sands of life clergyman
is burly, headed Englishman, who
is probably good for forty years more
that all the gift schemes are the vilcst
swindles; that one smaIt rascal runs d
dozen companies, and nearly all are
located on Broadway, New York." etc.
This knowledge we make use of for the
benefit of our readers.

A new kind of potato rot is reported
to have appeared in Apolda, near jena,
Germany. The disease attacks the
tuber at once, without apparently injur-
ing the vines. The tuber is found COW
cred with kind of felt, of purplish
color, which is the mycelum of fun
gus. The tuber is not always penetra.
ted by this mycelium, but generally it
is destroyed by a cancerous disease, the
skin being covered by a number OF
black dots.
