Amusing Incident.

A gentleman who is not celebrated for
his benevolence, although he is very
wealthy, the other evening got into a
Fifth avenue omnibus to go uptown.
AS the stage was full and he near the
door he reached forward, and touching
q man on the shoulder asked him to
pass one dollar bill up to the driver
for his fare, remarking, "I'm sorry to
trouble you, but I have no change"
The person to whom this request was
made smiled, bowed, and, taking small
book from his pocket, wrote something
in it, and put the ,dollar-bill in his
pocket. All the passengers smiled
audibly, and the gentleman demanded
his money with one or two expressions
such as fool, "swindler," etc. The
person alluded to smiled and bowed
again, but did not give up the dollar.
The passengers laughed louder. The
gentleman grew furious, and pulled the
strap, shouting, "Driver, driver call a
policeman" Suddenly, the man with
the notebook, his face glowing with
pleasure, handed the gentleman slip
of paper, on which was written, +" am
deaf and dumb. thank you for your
generosity" The joke was too much
for old stingy. He laughed with the
rest, and, telling the driver to go ahead,
passed up O second dollar, with his own
hand, to the driver to be changed, the
deaf and dumb man seeming to be as
much amused as the other passengers.

A Brief Temperance Lecture.

The Duke Of Orleans, the eldest son
of King Louis Philippe, was the in
heritor of whatever rights his father
could transmit. He was noble young
man-physically noble. His generous
qualities had rendered him universally
popular. One morning he invited a
few companions to breakfast, as he was
about to take his departure from Paris
to join his regiment. In the convivial
ties of the hour he drank little too
much wine. He did not become intoxi-
cated-he was not in any espect a dis
sipated man; his character was lofty and
noble-but in that joyous hour he drank
just one glass too much. In taking the
parting glass he slightly lost his bal
ance of body and mind. Bidding
adieu to his companions, he entered the
carriage but for that one extra glass of
wine he could have kept his seat He
leaped from the carriage but for that
one glass of wine he would have alight-
ed on his feet. His head struck the
pavement. Senseless and bleeding he
was taken into a beer-shop close by and
died. That extra glass of wine over
threw the Orleans dynasty, confiscated
their property of one hundred millions
of dollars, and sent the whole family
into exile.

A Burst Of ElOQuence.

A lawyer in Milwaukee was defending
a handsome young woman accused of
stealing from a large unoccupied build
ing in the night time, and thus he spoke
in conclusion:
Gentlemen of the jury, I am done.
When gaze with snraptured eyes on
the matchless beauty of this peerless
virgin, on whose Respondent charms
suspicion never dared to breathe when
1 behold her radiant in the glorious
bloom of lustrous loneliness which an
gelic sweetness might envy but could
not eclipse; before which the star
on the brow of the night grows
pale, and the diamonds of Brazil
are dim and then reflect upon the ut
ter madness and folly of supposirg that
SO much beauty would expose itself to
the terrors of an empty building in the
cold damp dead of night, when inno-
cence like hers is hiding itself among
the snowy pillows of repose; gentlemen
of the jury, my feelings are too over
towering for expression, and I throw
her into your arms forprotection against
this foul charge, which the outrageous
malice of disappointed scoundrel has
invented to blast the fair name of this
lovely maiden, whose smiles shall be the
reward of the verdict which / know you
will give p
The jury acquitted her without leav-
ing their seats.

Beauties Of Rag Garnet.

Some women much prefer to use bit
OF rag carpet In place of regular-made
mat at their doors. 1t is a good idea.
Ii there is anything better calculated
to attract mans attention than a rag
carpet at door, we don't know of it.
1t causes more hard feeling and is pro-
ducJlve of more hard and unforgiving
words than any article about the house
excepting always the family hammer.
Three pieces of rag carpet thus stu
ated will bankrupt an upright man in
side Of fortnight, and turn happy
home into an appearing and outrage
Gus bedlam. Not one man in one hun
dred can go through a door thus pro-
tected withour catching his foot in that
carpet to the great danger of fiinging
himself violently to the door and flat
tening his nose. And it not only twists
his legs, but 1T drsgs over the sill, and
catches the door as he shuts it, and
starts his temper afresh. 1t being too
degrading and unmanly to stoop down
and remove the obstacle with his hand.
he gives it kick, and is surprised to
see how easy it is to miss it. He fetches
another and more vicious kick at it, and
succeeds in removing about an inch of
it. Then he swings the door to-, and
setting his teeth together, attempts to
shut it over the obstacle. The more
the obstruction resists him the more
desperately he pushes. This is on the
generally received and very agreeable
theory that inanimate things are human
in so far as it is human to be vicious and
obstinate. 1t is the principle which in
duces boy to pound stick of wood
which flies up and hits him having con-
WINGED himself that the building will not
sufficiently give to permit of shutting
the door without removing the carpet,
the carpet is kicked away. 1t is never
laid away. And il is either kicked the
whole length of the hall, or tumbled in
a heap just outside the sill where the
next person appearing catches both feet
into it, and shoots into the room with
hair erect, eye-balls protruding, and
feet madly and passionately endeavor-
ing to recover their balance. -Danbuy

nypodermic Use Of Whisky.

A man was brought into the wards of
surgery bellevue HospitaD, of which
DR.. Figeuro is house surgeon, having a.
crushed foot and ankle, as the result of
being traversed by railroad car wheel.
Previous to his admission, the patient
had lost great quantity of blood, and
it was feared that he could never be
rallied to the amputating point. Among
the measures adopted for his restora-
ton were hypodermic injections of
whisky, and these proved very efficient,
not only for their immediate assistance
in obtaining the stimulation of the al
cohol, but they seemed to tide the man
over a point at which his stomach had
become very irritable and rejected what
ever was put into it. An ordinary
dose administered in this manner is
from fifteen to thirty drops. This mans
pulse was raised sufficient to warrant
amputation of the leg, which was done,
after applying Esmarch's apparatus for
arresting hemorrhage. The apparatus
was particularly adapted to this case,
for the reason that it was desirable to
retain all the blood possible, for the
loss had already been too great. No
blood was lost, and but four turns were
given to the rubber cord.-NeU York

Railroad Across the Andes.

One of the grandest works of this age
is now being constructed across the
Peruvian Andes, connecting the Pacific
Ocean with the Amazon river by means
of railroad, and opening the whole
interior of Peru to the commerce of the
world. Hitherto that rich and i'm
mensely productive country, so graph
cally described in the United States
reports of Lieuts. Herndon ard Gibbon,
has been virtually locked up to foreign
trade; the transportation of one ton of
freight from the interior of Peru to the
seaport, Lima, costing about three
times as much as the transportation of
the same amount of freight from Lima
to Europe. The railroad in question
was begun in 1870, and has already cost
over SO, 900, 600. 1t is estimated that
it will be finished in 1876. Over 1000
laborers, mostly Chinese, are constantly
employed on 1t. The enormous diff
culties that have to be overcome in the
construction of this road may be esti-
there to height of 20,320 feet above
the level of the sea. The road itself
rises IL, 900 feet, and is by far the high
est railroad in the world. Even the
Mont Gents Railroad sinks into insig-
nifcance when compared with this
Peruvian undertaking. The road has
also the highest viaduct In the world,
it being $50 feet long and 800 feet high
in the center. 1t rests on three pillars,
of which the first is 166, the secoud 1873,
and the third 253 feet high; is built of
iron, and was manufactured in the
TTnifad States

The Home Doctor.

BARLEY water is very beneficial for
patients suffering from inhammatory
diseases. Place two ounces pearl barley
in two quarts boiling water boil down
to one quart, and strain. A little lemon
juice and sugar may be added if desira-
bic 1t may be drank at pleasure.
A REFRESHING drink in fevers is thus
prepared Boil an ounce and half of
tamarinds, three ounces of cranberries,
and two ounces of stoned raisins, in
three pints of water, till the water is re-
duced to two pints. Strain, and add
bit oflemonpeel, which must be removed
in an hour, as it imparts bitter taste if
left too long.
ESSENCE of beef is beat made of sliced
lean beef. Put a sufficient quantity
into a stout bottle to fill up its body |;
cork it loosely, to permit. the escape of
steam, and place the bottle in pot of
cold water. Attach the neck of the bot
tie by means of string, to the handle
of the pot, to keep the bottle upright.
Boil for an hour and half or two hours,
then pour off the liquor from the meat,
and skim it. Season with salt to suit
the taste of the patient. Essence
of beef thus prepared is very nourish-
ing.
PRESENTATION of the feet, and the un-
pleasant odors arising from them, may
be successfully treated by bathing them
twice or thrice a week in warm water to
which has been added a quart of bran
to gallon of water. When wooden
stockings are worn by persons whose
feet perspire profusely, they should be
changed every day, and the feet washed
every evening in cold water, and the
soles vigorously rubbed with coarse
towel.
WARTS may be removed by touching
them three times day with stick of
moistened pencil caustic. To cure ca
tarrh, purchase a nose douche at drug
store, and with it apply, every morning
and evening, tepid water in which has
been dissolved salt in the porpotion of
two tablespoonfuls to pint of liquid.
An excellent article for offensive
breath, when caused by decaying teeth,
is prepared by mixing one ounce of
chlorinated soda with twelve ounces Of
water The mouth should be rinsed
with the preparation two or three times
day, but do not swallow it. The most
certain remedy is to remove the bad
teeth, as they will faint the breath no
matter what means are adopted to pre-
vent it.
INFLAMED eyelids are cured by bath
lug them highland morning with wash
composed of twelve grains sulphate of
zinc, two drains laudanum, and twelve
ounces salt water. Here is another
remedy: Prepared calomel. one scru-
pie ;spermaceti ointment, half an ounce.
Mix well in mortar, and anoint the
eyelids with the preparation each night
before retiring, also placing a small
quantity in the corners Of each eye. In
the morning wash with a linen rag Dip
ped in warm water. While using either
of the above remedies a cure will be
facilitated by keeping the bowels open
with mild purgative.

Texas.
I" When every other land rejects us,
That is the land that takes us (Texas)

The New Orleans Picay,uae estimates
that since 1870 100, 900 negroes have
gone to Texas, and 10000 whites. In
Alabama the departure of blacks is con-
solidating permanent Democratic pow
er, and in Mississippi and Louisiana,
where the blacks were more numerous
than the whites in 1870, the white vote
will soon be the largest. Georgia finds
it difficult to spare this labor, although
her white laboring population is on the
increase. The colored population are
among the most restless people in the
world, though caring but little for the
North, and very rarely coming north of
the Mason and Dixon line. In Texas
they are tempted by more virgin soil,
better climate, but most of all, we
think, allured by the old story which
followed the civil war, of (" forty acres
and a mule" to everyone who would
vote the Republican ticket and pitch
into the Democracy. The mule-and-
land story having lost its charm in LOU
isiana, Alabama, and other States, the
once clone Star is pointed out as

acres and the mules can be found

The Liquor Business.

The manufacture of spirits is placed
under the surveillance of the Internal
Revenue Department the distiller is
subjected to numerous stringent regula-
tons with a view to prevent the evasion
of the very high taxes. There is doubt
less no better subject for taxation than
spirits, since they may in general be
looked upon as purely articles of luxury.
The consumption of intoxicating liquors
is increasing day by day. In the United
States the sale of whisky during the
year ending June 80, 1871, was estimat-
ed at 60, 600, 900 gallons Of imported
spirits, 2,500,00 gallons imported
wines 10, 700, 900 gallons ale, beer, and
porter; 5000, 900 barrels native bran
dies, wines, etc., estimated to be worth
S31 500, 900, total valuation Of $780,
600, 900. At present the tax on each
gallon full-proof alcohol is 20 cents,
which has to be paid by the distiller,
and for which, as a receipt, stamp is
pasted and nailed on the barrel contain
ing the spirit. The manufacture OF
spirits is supervised by q United States
officer, called Storekeeper, as he has
also to store the barrels containing the
manufactured alcohol until the Gauger
has gagged and properly stamped them.
Very often it is found that the officers
and the owners of the distilleries are
working together, dividing the profits
made by swindling the Government out
of the tax, either by refiling old
stamped barrels or selling without any
stamp at all. Though the fine is very
high, this nefarious business is still
transacted every day, often reaching
gigantic proportions, as lately shown in
the suit of the United States against
the Pekin distillers. Chicago Tribune.
