A DANGEROUS DESK There is desk
in one of the Divisions of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, in Washington, which
has become the object of quite lively
contest tor possession by the lady clerks
employed in that office, insomuch that
every lady clerk who has been assigned
thereto has had the good fortune to date
her matrimonial felicity from the time of
its occupancy. Two very attractive and
intelligent employees of the Bureau, Miss
j. and Miss H., having within two years
been led from this desk to the hymeneal
altar; and third, bushing and beauti-
ful widow, now the fortunate possessor,
will, if report be true, shortly follow the
example of her predecessors. Several
extremely handsome, amiable and excel
lent lady clerks belonging to the division,
are watching with tender anxiety for the
moment to arrive when the next vacancy
shall occur, with view to the contingent
advantage attaching thereto. A number
of crusty bachelors, who deserve scourg-
ing for their selfish and malicious scnti-
ments, denominate this tho Dangerous
Desk" and are in mortal fear of its inhu-
ence.

TAKE THAT.-The following anecdote
has been associated with the name Of n
well-known clergyman's helpmate in the
north Of England. The minister had
been entertaining at dinner clerical
friend from some distance. The evening
was unpropitious, and the friend was in
vitcd by the clergyman TO remain during
the night, and he accepted the invitation.
They walked together for some time in
the manse gardens. At dusk the minis
ter asked his visitor TO step into the manse
while he would give directions TO his
man-servant TO get his friends convey
ance ready in the morning. AS the stran-
ger entered the manse the minister's wife
mistook him for her husband in the twi-
light she raised the pulpit Bible, which
CHANGED to be on the lobby table, and
bringing the full weight Of it across the
Strangers shoulders, exclaimed emphat-
ically: "Take that, for asking that ugly
wretch to stay all night ~

NUMBER II.
CURIOsITIEs OF EATING.

The following will be read with interest
by those who are obliged to study close
economy in their diet.
An old beau, formerly we'll known in
Washington city, was accustomed to eat
but one meal in twenty-four hours if
after this, he had to go to patty and eat
second dinner, he ate nothing all tho
next day. He died ut the age of seventy.
A lady of culture, refinement and un-
usual powers, became widow. Reduced
from afiiuencc to poverty, with large
family of small children dependent upon
her manual labor for daily food, she made
variety of experiments to ascertain
what articles could be purchased for tho
least money, and would Mt the same time
Ego the farthest" by keeping the children
the longest from crying for something to
eat. She soon discovered that when they
ate buckwhoat cakes and molasses, they
were quiet for longer time than aft,r
eating any other kind of food.
A distinguished judge of the United
States Court observed that when he took
buckwhcat cakes for breakfast no coald
sit on the bench the whole day without
being uncomtortabIy hungry. If the
cakes were omitted, he felt Obliged to
take lunch about noon. Buckwheat
cakes are universal tavoritc Mt tho
Winter breakfast table, and scientific in
vestigUtion and analysis has shown that
they abonnd in tho heat-forming princi-
pie; hence nature takes away our appe-
tite for them in Summer.
During the Irish famine, the poor were
found spending their last shilling for ten,
tobacco and spirits. 1t has also been OBJ
served in New York, by those connected
with charitable institutions, that when
money was paid to the poor, they often
laid out every cent in tea or coffee, instead
of procuring the more substantial food,
such as meal, -four, or potatoes. On
being reprovcd for their apparent extrav-
agance and improvidence, the cry was
universally in both cases identical; their
own observation had shown them that u
penny's worth of tea, tobacco or liqcor
would keep of hunger longer than pen
ny's worth of anything else. Scientific
men express the idea by saying: "Tca,
like alcohol, retards tho metamorphosis
of the tissues; in other words, it gives fuel
to the flame of life, and thus prevents il
from consuming the fat and flesh of the
body.
If n person gets into the habit of taking
n lunch between the breakfast and dinner
he will soon find himself getting flint
about the regular luncheon time; but let
him be so pressed with important engage
ments for several days in succession rs TO
take nothing between meals, it will rot
be long before he can dispense with his
lunch altogether. These things seem to
show that, to II certain extent, eating is u
mere habit. Whole tribes of Indian
hunters and trappers have been known
to eat but once in twcn ty-four hours, and
that ut night.

A BAD IMITATION" Mrs. Woodruff
Of Salem county, was so frightened on
hearing that her husband had been
thrown from sleigh, which, after all,
was a mistake, that her life is dcspared
Of" So says one of our New Jersey ex-
changes recently. In its issue of later
date this same journal has: William
Adell heard of the Woodruff case, men
toned by us last week, and, for reasons,
said he had been thrown from his sleigh
and was dead. To make the thing sure,
he got n couple of friends to carry him
home on a shutter. His feelings may be
better imagined than described when,
just as he arrived at his house, he met
Mrs. Adell starting out with Charles
Sanford, of Newton Township, to the
parsonage of Rev. Mr.. Jones, and heard
his wife say: "Please put the corpse in
the kitchen; Charley and I'll fix for the
funeral after we're married."

THE CALIFORNIA OMAN" AT THE
EAsT.-The Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
tic0n Of February l4th has the following
racy paragraph: "Tho man for the
hour, the Man with capital NJ, the
heavcn-appointcd Leader who is to con-
duct us out Of this wilderness Of Credit
Mobliers and things, the Statesman
whom nature has gifted with the necessa-
ry brains, conscience, will, heart, tongue
and magnetism to set us all right-this
highly interesting and important person
age has at last been heard from. He is
at present hiding his light under BUSH
el somewhere in California, but the Sac
ramento Union has its eye upon him, and
will produce him presently-when, in its
judgment the times are ripe for the reve-
latiion. When the people, il remarks,
send him to Washington on this mis-
sion,' TO wit, for straighening out things
generally, leading black Astrm, and
pitch-forking us, neck and crop, into tho
Millennium,) they will back him by
such IA backing as no American has re-
ceiyed from his constituents since the
days Of Henry Clay.' Our advice TO tho
Californians, if they really have such a
treasure, is to be very choice of it and
very chary Of trusting it so far away from
them as Washington. 1t is an earthen
vessel, after all, and they should remem-
Der that the wear and tear of politics at the
capital are very hard on this sort Of pot
terry. If it didn't get smashed outright,
there would be great and constant danger
OF It's getting hawed.

A DRUNKEN DoCToR. - We had a
drunken doctor of the name of Toddens,
who, from his habits was known as Tod
dy. He was considered tho most sue
cessful practitioner of our country side.
People said old Tod was wonder, and
the drunken he grew the wider and deep
or spread his reputation. This is COM
mon in other walks of life. We have
known lawyers, authors, and artists add
to their reputation by being intoxicated
much of their time. People said, "How
wonderful he would be were he sober"
The fact is the only wonder was in the
liquor. Had the man been sober man,
he would probably have escaped notice.
Old Tod was called in, or rather he was
picked up drunk at the tavern one night
almost insensible, to prescribe for man
in the greatest agony. lie was shaken
up and diagnosis of the disorder roared
into his ears. All that could be got from
him was one word, "Coiiee." A pot
was hurriedy placed on tho fire and as
soon as it could be made pint was pour
ed into the patient, who only roared the
louder. Again the doctor was appeale!
to, again he muttcred "Cofleo." The
Jealous friends and relatives Immediate
ly forced down the throat Of tho sufferer
another dose. A third attempt was made
when the doctor staggered to the bedside
and, seizing the cup, drained tho liquid
himself. He then rolled out to the pump
and putting his medical head under the
spout, had water pumped over it for some
minutes. After this he returned, some
what sobered, to the bedside of his pa
tient, felt his pulse, looked at his tongue,
and poked the fellow in the stomach.
How'r'yew me man?" he asked. Ella!
I'm better, doctor 4; the coffee did it,"
A merry twinkle shot from the inhamed
eyes of the intoxicated practitioner, but
he said nothing there. Subsequently ho
let the joke out TO n brother physician.
wanted that coffee myself, TO sober
me up. Damme if they didn't give it to
the fellow with the collie. Cured, though"
and the doctor chuckled merrily.- Wash

A STRANGE story of II New Orleans
mother and Voudeo sorceress is told by
the Republican Of that city. "The
priestess, it appears, informed the dame,
who had just buried beloved daughter,
that the young woman would revive on
the third day after intermcnt. The aR-
guish stricken mother visited the tomb ut
the time indicated, and at her request
the doors Of the vault were opened, when
suddenly, says the legal chroncler, the
sound Of loud shrieks broke upon the ear,
and tearing open the coffin, the mother
clasped her frantic child in her arms.
She had just come in time--an hour later
the young lady would have fallen vic
tim to the terrible fate Of the buried alive.
How did the Voudoo woman know it?
is the query now anxiously propounded."

SATURDAY. MARCH ~, 1873.

He STILL LIvEs.-Quite a good joke
happened to the President of our Board
of City Trustees, in San Francisco, few
days since. 1t appears that Mr.. Has
brouck was down on some business, and
happening to pass by the office of the Life
Insurance Company in which he holds a
policy, dropped in to ascertain how he
stood upon the oompany's books. He
approached clerk and inquired how his
account stood, when the following excit-
ing dialogue took place:
Clerk-What is your name?
H. b. H.-My name is Hasbrouck.
Clerk-H. B. Hasbrouck, of Petaluma?
Ill. b. H.-That's my name.
Clerk-Why! my dear fellow, you are
dead.
III. b. H.-There certainly must be
some mistake, as there has been no ar
rangements made for the funeral.
Clerk-There can be no mistake, as the
proof of your death has been sent East,
and we expect the money daily.
II. B. H.-Well, sir, may be you are
right, and you seem to be positive about
the matter. Just send the money to my
widow and shall be satisfied.
After which both parties made thor
ough investigation; man named Has
brouck died recently at Cloverdale.-
Some paper had published it as "H. b.
Hasbrouck," and the Insurance Company
desiring to be prompt, had the notice sent
East, and the money is probably on the
way out. The mistake is one which gives
satisfaction to both parties and neither
the Insurance Company nor the insured
feel the least bit put out .--Retat@ma

HUMBOLDT has saloon keeper who
beats the world for his accommodating
disposition. A short time ago stranger
entered rs he was about TO close his place,
and called for cigar, saying, as he took
one, 81 have no money tonight III
make it all right next time come in."
Take two," said f., "ti,ke two don't
be bashIul /; take two" The stranger
did so, and II. proceeded TO put out the
lights, while the stranger turned up his
coat tail and spread out his hands behind
him rs he stood up to the stove and began
to pull the smoke. +. stood while eye
ing the cool stranger who showed ne
sign of departing, and getting tired of
waiting he held out his key TO the dead
bent and said, "Stranger, am going to
bed. When you get through with the
use Of my house, just lock up, will you ?
and take the keys with YOU" This was
more than the dead-beat bargained for,
and he went out.
