A YOUNG GIRL SCALED ALIvE-Hoo the
Process Fesis.-While Amelia Grlnnel, a young
girl was working last week in a shingle n Ill in
Oshkosh, Wis, under shaft which wa, going
at the rate of 200 revolutions per minute, ,her
hair, which was very long, caught in the
knuckle- joint, and in an instant il was tom en-
iirely from her head, taking with it all the
fish and muscles on her head. "From lipe,"
says the local paper, ''drawn around from ga ch
eyebrow, her skull was left white and bare
without a trace of blood or flesh. The strangest
part of the accident is that she felt little CIR no
pain, declaring that when it was being torn off
all that she realized was tickling sensation in
her head. She cooily walked Oft of the room
and waited patiently for a buggy to take her
home. Her only regret was the fright it would
give her mother. The scalp, with its beautiful
long locks of hair was curled and entwired
around the shaft at the joint, and when the mill
was stopped it was taken down, bat no one had
sufficient presence of mind to place it upon her
head. 1t is nearly perfect, and the doctors
have determined to tan it with the hair on, so
that If the girl RECEIVERS 1t may be used as a wig
The case Is one Of the most remarkable on re-
cord"

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

GEoReErowS, ID. c., Sept. 10, 1873.
Editor Star: have few words to say IN an
swer to "Georgetonian," in your issue of to-
day. Does he know where he lives, and IL 70
why? He heads his letter Washington, and
wards he says, "sce do not want to be united
with Washington" "sce would rather paddle
our own canoe" He says, ''tre pride ourselves
upon being called an 'aristocrstIc old &c me-
terry as one of our dirines styles it." This is
the hrst time have heard of the Capital being
called dirine. As for joining Mt. Pleasant
and Uniontown being similar to Joining George
town to Washington, there is no similarity
Whatever, fnasmuch as the latter is only sepa-
rated from 1t by Rock Creek, and ia, in fact,
continuation of it; whereas Uniontown and Mt
Pleasant are some distance beyond the built up
portion Of the city. In reference to the navy
yard, he might as well say, let the people add
West End, as they are both as much part Of
Washington as "any other man." As for New
YORK, they are already and have been for some
time adding their environs to the city, and have
been trying to add both Brooklyn and Jersey
City. FRITZ.

The everlasting and almost ever present dust
in Washington still remains the great drawback
to the pleasure of life here in spite of the mil
lions expended to improve the streets. Our
hard working street sweepers, toiling and eX-
hausted with the weight of their laboIs. to con-
trlve do get the leaves and Ii ght rubbish into
piles ready to be blown about again before the
cart carries them away, but the under laying of
dust, fine and thick, is not moved by the
coarse brooms that used by them. I'm
mediately after the sweeperS have been over tue
streets, light breeze viii raise a cloud OF fine
dust that penetrates lungs fills houses with dirt,
soils clothes, spells furniture, aud renders
everybody uncomfortable Perhaps not every
body though, for there is a class of street sweep
ers who probably want work and they use no
coarse brooms, but good silk dresses for the pur-
pose. They take up the dust on tn ,lr brooms
very well, as the dresses themselves show.
Tobacco juice, rubbish, small pox, etc, can
all be carried along, it is said, in this way, and
the fair sweepers do their work well. In other
countries it is said the ladies decline this work,
and when they put their long dresses on they
ride, and when they walk they take short
dresses, so it Is only in fortunate America that
good seryiceabe street sweeping is done by the
ladies, and Washington is an excellent feld for
their operations. H.C.I.

a CORPSE EXHUMED TO KILL SANDER
Il Canadian gentleman named Cameron ten
years since returned home from British Column
Dia, bringing with him a coffin containing the
dead bodies Of his wife and child, who had died
during his absence. They were inferred near
Cornwall, where MI Cameron resides. Recent
ly, while he was absent, some Of his neighbOrs
got up story that the coffin supposed to con-
tain the corpse OF Mrs. Cameron inclosed moth
ing but piece of clay, that lady having been in
reality sold by her husband to an Indian chief
On the Pacific coast for gold chain. Strange
as il may SEEM this Inonstrous tale found ready
belief among the Canucks, and when Mr.. Cam
erOn came home he found it necessary to refute
1t. SO he advertised that on a certain day the
grave wodld be opened and the corpses exposed
to view. When the time came several nun ired
people were present. The bodies we're exhumed
and exhibited to the gaping crowd. They were
in excellent preservation, having been emb aim
ed Immediately after death, and the features of
Mrs. Cameron were distinctly recognized by
those who knew her in life. This, of course, ex-
ploded the story of the sale, and gave peace OF
mind to the gOssips.

How to Cool. a ,seefstcak.

Don't look aggrieyeG, old house
keepers -yOn who know how to do
everything. It's TO YOU [ offer my
suggestion. but to the young, inex~
pcrienced housckeeperS who get ne.,
vous whenever a steak is brought into
the louise, especially If there are
guests expected at table. Some time
since. a complete encyclopaedia Of
useful knowledge in human form be-
came an inmate of our family. One
doesn' expect man to know every
thing-abeve all to be learned in all
the nicetieS of cookery. Besides,
women have an extreme prejudice
against a masculine invader of those
sacred precincts, her kitchen-that
monster who is fond Of lifting the
covers from the steaming kettles on
the stove. splutteriag on Industrious
ly towards the dinner hour. She
doesn't like TO have her Oven-do0rs
opened and shut llysteriously. the
bread rising in the tins critically
examined, and her rolls of butter
weighed in the balance of masculine
criticism, TO be found wanting with
out a lucid explanation of the why's
ard wherefores of the failure. Well,
when this learned guest came among
US, hc proved so pleasant an excep-
ton to the above rule, that we con-
suited him as an oracle in many
cases, and asked him one morning
Would he not tell us or show us a
better way to cook the steak for
breakfast. t." He took the thin. long,
handled frylng>pam from its nail, and
putting it on the stove heated it
quite hot In this he put the pieces
of steak previously pounded, but to
my surprise did not put a particle of
butter in the frying-pan, and did not
salt his steak. He allowed the steak
to merely glaze over. and then turn
ed it quickly to the other side-turn-
ing it several times in this manner
uutil it was done. Four minutes
were not employed in the operation,
but | think | never ate a iuicier piece
of steak. 1t was, when done, laid on
the platter previously warmed and
was buttcred and sailed and set
moment i'll the hot oven. Allowing
the steak to heat but a moment on
each side helped it to retain all its
sweet juices, and putting on the salt
the last moment after it was on the
platter drew out its juices. -Anleri-

Dried Fruit.

The american Grocer says :"With>
in the past few weeks speculative
operators have conspicuously appear
ed not only in this market, but in
the large cities Of the West and
Southwest, and ma terially advanced
the price of died apples. Several
large orders for sliced apples are now
IN the hands of prominent brokers,
without the slightest possibility Of
being executed, all the stock having
changed hands and will bs carried
over the Summer. The reports of
the fruit crop are unfavOrable, and
the general outlook is encouraging to
producers; yet it would be well for
dealers to consider the large stock now
on hand, and not ovcrstock themselves
with high-priced fruit at the opening
Of the season.
The Southern States are fully alive
to the Importance of this trade. and
everyyear there is marked improve
ment in the curing and packing ofall
kinds of dried fruits. North Carolina.
Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee
fruits are the best. and always in de-
mand when each package is uniform
in grade and the weights and tares
are correctly marked.
Bright colored fruits sell best.
Chartered apples should be we'll cored
and uniform. in cut. Bright pealed
peaches, pitted cherries damson
plums and raspberries. if well pre-
pared and nicely packed. will com
mand good prices the coming season
on account of short crops"

Fruit Surgery.

1t very often happens that fine
fruit. especially pears and apples, is
attacked by birds and insects so as to
make a wound, which; if left to itself
will cause the fruit to rot. 1t has
been found that by cleaning out the
place effected, and removing all the
dirt and disorganized and bruised
matter. and filling up the cavity with
plaster of paris, further decay may
be arrested and the fruit become full,
iy ripe. i little space may be work
ed out from under the edges of the
skin, SO that when tie plaster is
pressed Inward it.wiil keep its place.
The exclusion of the air, consequent
upon this application, is all that is
necessary to prevent the progress of
decay. This would, of course, be
inexpedicnt in many cases, but when
large and valuable apples and pears
are involved, the trouble viii be but
trifing in comparison with the result
accomplished.
