ance. The thousands who die annually OF
consumption, were first attacked with a
slight cough or cold, which they thought
would soon wear itself off, and therloro
neglected TO use the proper remedies until
they became incurabe.

more uncertain. We would recommend all

Died Of q Broken Heart,

Mrs. Sallie A. White, wife Of Captain
J. e. White, the celebrated horse thief,
died at the residence of her mother,
near Germantown, Tenn, of broken
heart. Mrs. White, it will be remem-
bered rescued her husband from Jail last
winter, and won for herself the sympa-
thy of chivalrous gentlemen, by hand
ing him revolver when she was per-
mitted to visit him. Mrs. White was q
high-spirited woman, refined and culti-
vated, and of good family. The dis
grace of her husband being arrested
and confined as horse-thief wrought
upon the finer feelings of her nature to
such an extent that the overstrained
spirit refused to bear its burden, and
took its flight to another and better
sphere. While her husband may be
guilty of the crimes charged against
him his wife was innocent, and the
manner in which she rescued him, her
culture, elegance, and good standing
have enlisted in her behalf the sympa-
thy of all who knew her; and her sud-
den death from the causes which led to
it render this sympathy still greater,
and indicate clearly that, while she was
a true wife, ready to succor her hus-
band under any circumstances, she was
also a truly honorable woman, who
could not "sufer the stings and arrows
of outrageous fortune" nor bear the
disgrace attached to blasted name.
So says Memphis paper.

Hints for HOuSekeepers.

A place for everything, and every
thing in its place use for everything,
and used only for that special purpose.
Let us take, for example, the omelet
pan the English cook does not scruple
to employ this white, delicate, enam-
eled pan to fry the bacon for breakfast,
and is astonished that her omelets fail,
and that her mistress complains she is
getting careless it is not that she is
getting careless, but that she has never
been anything else, and neither she nor
her mistress comprehends or under
stands that true economy is practised
by carefully using each article of the
6atterie de cuisine for the purpose
alone for which it is designed. The
cook will probably reject the chemical
reason that the sulphur given forth by
eggs, and to o certain extent absorbed
by the enamel at the time of making the
last omelet, materially assists the ONE
let of to-day, and this in spite of the
most complete cleanliness on the part
OF the cook. Sauces should be pre-
pared in pan kept for that purpose,
and the enamelled saucepan used for
melted butter should never on any ac-
count be used for anything else.
Most cooks know that if eggs are
boiled in saucepan previously used
for onions, they will come to table
bright orange color; this will prove
how necessary it is to use each culinary
utensil for its destined purpose, and
unless perfect order is preserved in the
kitchen and in the mind of maid and
mistress, this is not possible. The
economist may demur to this state
ment, but if each article be used for its
own purpose only, and taken care of
when in and out of use, it will last O
lifetime, instead of being replaced every
four or five years.
The housekeeping money in some
families is not allowanced, but the bills
are settled by check once a month.
Experience shows that this is a very
bad plan, and housekeeping thus man
aged costs considerably more than 1t
does by system of cash payments.
The wife should ask for an allowance
in proportion to the style of table ex-
pected as the steward of her husbands
property, she must allow no waste and
suffer no extravaganza she must be
guided by her husbands wishes as to
her expenditure, and keep well within
the sum allowed weekly; this will per-
NIT of her meeting the losses and acci-
dents which happen to the most careful
and economical manager.

South Pacific Islands.

Landing at New Hanover, an island
in the South Pacific to the east of New
Guinea, Captain Simpson, of II. B. M.
ship Blanche, last year found men and
women very much in a state Of nature,
who, he thinks, had never before been
visited by white men. They were igno-
rant of the use of tobacco, and old
pieces of paper were taken by them in
preference to the usual trade articles.
Both men and women came alongside
the ship in great numbers. and showed
no fear. They had little or nothing
for barter except spears. They appear
ed good-humored, but are arrant
thieves. Aparty of officers who landed
had their pockets picked.
Captain Simpson also visited the
neighboring island of New Britain.
Here he found two spacious bays or
harbors, with good anchorage, land
locked, and sheltered from all winds.
Within one of these harbors he believes
there is space, with from twenty to five
fathoms of water, for the navies of the
world to anchor in. Clustered on q
narrow ledge at the base of two singu-
lar sandstone rocks is village contain
ing about two hundred inhabitants,
who evidently support themselves by
fishing. Many of the houses are built
in the water on piles. They had num-
erous canoes moored round them.
In the Ngaric group of islands one
only was found to be inhabited, and
the history of its people may be told in
few words. They number about one
hundred, and of these no less than sixty
are children. The people say that
about forty years ago a captain from
Sydney took the island and destroyed
all the inhabitants, or nearly all. Some
years after that man named Paddy
came with some natives OF Ponope
island and settled there, claiming the
island as his own, and the population
has since rapidly decreased. What has
become of Paddy we are not told.

Her Cheice.

M. Beule, who has Just died SO sud
denly, says the Figaro, was married in
most romantic manner. A few years
ago, an artist of talent had painted his
portrait and sent it to an exhibition. A
young lady, an orphan, was passing
through the rooms with her guardian,
when she suddenly stopped before the
picture, and having regarded it earnest
ly for a long time, said: 81 will never
marry any one but the original OF that
portrait" Her guardian laughed at
her but the girl was alike determined,
intelligent and INDUCED. A search had
to be undertaken for the M. B,
whose likeness had turned young
head. He was discovered, and being
informed in what sovereign fashion a
pretty maiden had decreed that she
would be his wife, he considered him
self extremely fortunate to be the OBJ
iect of such choice, and he was right,
for he found most generous heart
united to numerous graces OF mind.

enough to almost throw the Imper-
turable off his invincible equilibrium.
For that moment Miss Roseneath could
boast of having seen that great man, to
use a common but expressive term,
flabbergasted.
Patty Miss Roseneath
eyes, Major Marioribanks, Miss
Roseneath. Oh, take me home take
me homsl and never, never dare to
call me Patty again p
"The devil p said the Major slowly,
beneath his mustaches.
You might have been satisfied with
making a fool of poor silly girl, with
out insulting her afterward. Oh, how
could you be so c-c-cruel
"I say, Patty-listen a moment
don't talk like that. You don't sup
pose I meant to hurt your feelings +?
Hang it, I amt such cad as all that
comes to. l didn't know 1t was you-I
took you for -"
ooh, I know you took me for Miss
Hartford. Dear Di she told me you
had been making love to her since you
came. But thought you had only
been f-f-firting," said poor Patty,
going off again.
"Did she tell you that ?" said the
Major.
" Yes and she said you were con-
ceited man, and she was afraid every
day you'd propose, because she would
have the trouble of refusing you. I
never told her all you said to me down
at Rosewood. Silly that l was, ever to
believe in Major |"
Did pique and chagrin at the intelli-
gence that he had just received prompt
the Majors next impulse? Or did his
better angel whisper to him that din
ner of herbs with this little woman who
really loved him, and for whom he was
conscious of feeling as nearly akin to
that passion as he was capable of ex-
periencing, would be better than more
splendid repast with her to whom he
was Indifferent Bitterly would he
have derided such an idea from an
other bitterly that morning would he
have laughed at the thought of his
present conduct. But few men act up
to their principles and it was with a
ring of genuine feeling in his voice that
he sat down by Patty's side and said
but we will not write his words; they
were greatly devoid of that artistic
fuency which generally distinguished
the Majors utterances to the fair sex
but to Patty they sounded like flowing
honey.
"And you really willard you're not
sorry for what has happened?"
"Well," said the Major, looking
down into her eyes, which gazed up
through her tears, glistening with
mingled light and tear-drops, "perhaps
it wasn't such an unfortunate mistake
after all |"
Would you be surprised to hear
that the Major makes a capital hus-
band &?
