the dealer says to me, "How many will

Ike took three and Jones two, but Brown
had enough, and told the dealer to help

was now about 100 chips on tho board.
Ike bet one, Jones went ten better, and
Brown raised it to twenty. because he

one said "forty chips" which l invested

How THE BANKER PAID THE STATES
MAN.-Among the assets of the firm ap-
pear over 5000, 900 in bonds held as col
laterals for loans, of which, Tribune
correspondent says, $4,000 went to
former official OF the House OF Represen-
tatives. generally reputed TO have given
great assistance in lobbying the land
grant for the road through Congress.
Our readers will probably have no diff
Guilty in recognizing in this description
our old friend, the "Christian states
man," ex.Vice President Colfax, whilom
of Credit Mobilier fame. Colfax in the
lecture field and in vivid articles furn-
ished to the religious press. notably the
Independent, was powerful lever in
foisting this great fraud upon the public.
He was wise enough in his generation,
however, to prefer the cash to the bonds,
leaving the latter as worthless ''collater-
ais" in the hands of tho Government
brokers.-[ Syracuse Courier.
GIRL II years old, living at st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, recently had q very narrow
escape from being buried alive. She
was girl of remarkable acuteness OF
mind, but had been in bad health for
some months, and has often said that
she could see the forms Of persons long
dead. A few days ago, she told her
mother that she could see her dead sis
ter, but, while describing her, she sank
away and seemed to die. The body was
prepared for burial, and kept thirty-siz
hours. On the way to the grave, the
mother heard cries coming from the
hearse. The procession stopped in the
street, and the coffin being opened, the
Child was found to be alive. She had

Cor LITTLE ESouaH.-The Radicals
of Massachusetts, seem to have spent a
good deal of money during the last can.
vass in that State, and to have got lit
tie enough for the expenditure. About
$4,000 were raised in the custom house,
and of this 385 custom-house clerks
gave S. each. In the postoffice, ,173 clerks
and carriers gave 500. In the pension
agency, sub-treasury, and naval office,
about $1,000 were collected. Civil
Service Reform, of course, cannot pre-
vent q tide-waiter or letter-carrier from
putting little money where it will do
the most good. That would be an in-
fringement of private rights of which
collectors and postmasters wouldn't

throughout the entire campaign-and
it was one of the most hotly contested
ones our country has known for years
there was not one thing said to wound
me; from the first to the last the gen.
tlemen did everything possible to make
it pleasant for me. The gentleman
candidate received the usual amount Of
abuse; but not O shadow of it vas
shown me, even by the bitterest oppo-
sition papers. Since the election have
been serenaded and congratulated al
most to death. My bonds-S3O, ,000-
were signed by leading men of the
county, who came all unasked, and
told me they should be glad to sign
them; and SO with everything. So fur
as know, the same is true in other
counties. The gentlemen show that
wherever they think lady has shown
her fitness for place they have been
ready and anxious to yield it to her.

MARRIAGES OF BLOOD RELATIONS Sta
tistics presented to the French Acad-
envy, shows that the marriages OF
blood relations form about two per
cent. of all the marriages in France,
and that the deaf and dumb offspring
at birth of consanguineous marriages,
are, in proportion to the deaf and dumb
born in ordinary wedlock-at Lyons,
full twenty-five per cent, at least
twenty-five per cent. in Paris, and
thirty per cent in Bordeaux-the por-
portions of the deaf and dumb, by birth,
increasing with degree of blood rela-
tionship. The data obtained show that,
if the danger Of having deaf and
dumb child in ordinary marriage, re-
presented by figures, is one, there will
be eighteen in marriages between first
cousins, thirty-seven in marriages be-
tween uncles and nieces, and seventy
in marriages between nephews and
aunts. Itappears too, that the most
healthy parents, if related in blood,
may have deaf and dumb children;
while deaf and dumb parents, if not
related, very rarely have deaf and
dumb children.

ROUND DANcEs.-Dr. Dio Lewis, in
his advice to Our Girls" in bis book
of that name, says timely word against
the immodest and impure " German"
waltz, etc., for two reasons, the frat
being sanitary one, and the second q
moral one. For the first, he says that
the rotary motion is injurious to the
brain and spinal marrow, and that the
peculiar contact between man and wo-
man is vc-y apt to suggest impure
thoughts. We can forgive Byron for
many things lie wrote when We remsm-
Der his manly and indignant protest
against the waltz:
d" Not Cleopatra on her gailey's deck
Displayed SO much of leg or more Of neck
Ihan thou, ambrosal waltz, when first tho
Beheld thee whirling to Saxon tune"
He wrote in his finest strain Of sar-
cas,n. The Doctor says, +" Let couple
stand in the company, with their arms
about each other, and their persons in
contact for tho German let them
stand thus intertwined-what should
we think? The dance is made the ex-
cuse for what, without it, would be
gross indelicacy." He says that he has
many times asked the young men what
they thought of it, and after saying it
was jolly, that they liked it first-rate,
they have generally, when urged to tell
him seriously their conviction, confessed
that, knowing how men feel and some
times.tal about it, if they were women
they would not indulge"

THE LOCOM0TION OF SERPENTS,

From the Popular Science Monthly
we clip the following:
We read that the curse pronounced
upon the serpent was, upon thy belly
thou shalt so" and the inference seems
to be that, previous to that time, its
mode of progression was not upon its
belly. This would imply o great ano-
tomical change in the structure of the
creature at the time in question, O
change which, SO far as we are aware,
is not proved by archaeological re-
search, and the expression is probably
a figurative one, as observed by DR..
Buckland. Serpents progress by the
" foldings and windings they make on
the ground" and the stiff, movable
scales which cross the under portion of
the body; but the windings are sideways,
not vertical. The structure of the ver-
tebre is such that upward and down.
ward undulations are greatly restricted,
and many illustrations, showing sharp
vertical curves of the body, are exag-
serations. Most persons have seen
snakes glide slowly and silently, with
out any contortion. They seem to pro-
gress by some invisible power; but, if
PERMITTED to move over the bare hand,
an experiment easily tried, o motion of
the scales will be perceived. These are
elevated and depressed, and act as le-
vers by which the animal is carried for
ward. Nor can serpent progress with
facility on the ground without the re-
sistance afforded by the scales. 1t is
stated that it cannot pass over plate
of glass or other entirely smooth sur
face. We saw the experiment tried, by
placing n small pane of glass in a box,
in which was common black snake.
He was made to pass over it repeatedly,
but evidently found that he had no foot
hold on it.; and the third time, as he
approached it, elevated the fore part of
his body slightly, and brought his head
down beyond the glass, and on passing,
his body seemed scarcely to touch it.
This gave an opportunity to witness
the wave-like movement of the scales,
that is, Of their elevation, which runs
from head to tail, enabling the animal
to move continuously, instead of by
series of minute pushes, as would occur
if all the scales be lifted and depressed
at once.

A Coon LAuaH.-We believe in q
good hearty laugh. Show us a man
who laughs well, and you may be sure,
bad as he may appear, there is some
thing within that may be turned up to
any great or good enterprise. The
good laughers are worth all the POM
pous, long faced sneerers the world
ever produced. A pleasant smile, a
cheerful face, kindly word, does
more good in itself than all the gifts
Of the morose, ill-conditioned dyspep-
tics, while the absolute gifts Of the
laugher always exceed tenfold that Of
the others.
Put the cheerful face in sick room,
and without word, it will irradiate
that room, while vinegar face will
cause even board of trustees for q
hospital to look blank and turn sour.

\ HEAVY MAN WITH FIGrREs.-M his
autobiography in TEN Minute Talks"
Elihu Burctt tells how he studied ma
thematics. He couldn't afford time to
attend school, so lie uscd to do certain
problems in his head while hammering
away at his anvil. Hercis one of them:
" How many yards of cloth, three feet
in width, cut into strips an inch wide,
and allowing half an inch at each end
for the lap, would it require to reach
from the center OF the sun to the center
Of the earth, and how much would it
cost at shilling yard:" He would
not allow himself to make single
figure with chalk or charcoal in work
ing out this problem, and he would
carry home TO his brother all the multi
plications in his head.

The OLDEST TIMBER IN THE World.
Probably the oldest timber in the
world, which has been subjected to the
use of man, is that which is found in
the ancient temples of Egypt. It is
found in connection with stone-work
which is known to be at least four
thousand years old. This wood, and
the only wood used in the construction
of the temple, is in the form of ties,
holding the end of one stone to another
in its upper surface. When two blocks
were laid in place, then it appears that
an excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, into which an
hour-glass shaped tie was driven. 1t
is therefore very difficult to force any
stone from its position. The ties ap-
pear to have been the tamarisk, or shit
tim wood, of which the ark was con-
structed, a sacred tree in encient Egypt,
and now very rarely found in the valley
of the Nile. These dovetailed ties are
just as sound now as on the day of their
insertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in that country, these bits of
wood are not large enough to make it
an object with Arabs to heave off layer
after layer of heavy stone for so small a
prize. Had they been of bronze, half
the old temples would have been de-
stroyed ages ago, so precious would
they have been for various purposes.

USEFUL INFORMATION,

Common lye OF wood ashes will soften
hard putty in few minutes.
The fumes of birthstone match will
remove berry stains from book or pa
per engraving.
Dry paint is removed by rubbing
with swab dipped in strong solution
OF oxalic acid. 1t softens at once.
If you want new shoe to fit as easily
as an old one, put on two pairs of stock
ings before your measure is taken.
If there is rust OH your fiat iron or
other roughness, put some fine salt on
a board, rub it rapidly while warm, un-
til it moves smoothly.
A single drop of the sequiped chlo-
ride OF iron, put on a corn between the
toes once day with camel's hair
brush, will effect marvellous cure.
If you wish to make nail drive we'll
and last long without rusting, dip it
i'll melted grease first This is excellent
for fencing and other exposed work.
Ten grains of oxalic acid in half a
pint of water will remove all ink and
fruit stains. Wet the article in hot
water, and apply. it to the top of the
bottle, SO that the liquid will reach it,
then rinse it we'll.
If rats are about, scatter powdered
glass about their holes, or powered cop
peras, or fill up the crevices with hard
soap, or dip the rat in cup of tar
and let it go, and it will tar-plaster ev-
cry hole in the house.
Borax, half a teaspoonful in q teacup
Of water, makes the mildest and most
efficient hair and scalp cleaner in the
world. Rub it into the hair and scalp
with the balls of the fingers, head held
over water basin, eyes shut until the
entire scalp is in foam, then rinse'with
warm water.
If glass stopper won't move, hold
the neck of the bottle before flame or
warm it by taking two turns of a string
and see-saw; the heat engendered ex-
pands the neck of the bottle before a
corresponding expansion reaches the
stopper.
