The New York Times, in addition to Its
many excellencies as a news and political
journal, is worthy OF note for the lberality
and enterprise displayed in the manage
ment of its literary department. The Sun
day edition for the 10Th inst, contained an
original story by Bret Harte, written espe-
0ially for the Times. The story is entitled
"The Rose of Tuolumne," and is, we think,
one OF the best of this favorite authors pro-

A fellow, named Short, just out of Sing
Sing prison, revives the story OF the whis-

the man that run the still, and tells in de-
tail how he made himself, and some Of the

The Warden of the prison, on the contra
ry, denies the story in toto, and says that
Short was a thief and a consummate liar
all the time he had charge of him.

HOUSE AND BARN DESTROYED ny LIGHT
MING.

The dwelling house of o. l.. Rowell,
located on Illness hill, near the upper end
of High street, was struck by lightning at
about quarter past o'clock last Monday
evening, and almost wholly destroyed, to-
gether with the barn adjoining, and por-
ton of the household goods. 1t was the
first thunder and lightning of the season,
and the second fash did the work of de-
structlon. The bolt, which was heavy
one, appears TO have struck the chimney
and scattered thence in every direction, one
portion entering the room where the fam
ily-composed of Mr. RowelI, his wife and
child-were seated, stunning them for some
moments, knocking the chimney from a
lighted kerosene lamp on the table and ex-
tinguishing the blaze, and passing on
through the ell part to the barn, where it
'gnited the hay, OF which there was about
half ton. The alarm of fire was at once
raised, and the nelghbors rushing in soon
had the house cleared of the furniture, ex-
eept the contents of one chamber, which
unfortunately contained the best chamber
set and nearly all the valuable clothing.
These were destroyed. The storm, which
had begun with snow In the morning, and

Two Kinds OF Maiden Aunts.

No home can be just what 1t was be-
fore when it has been entered bya third
person, who, without belonging actually
to its life is vet to be its inmate There
are two pictures of the maiden aunt,
and each equally faithful to its subject.
One is framed beautifully in fiction and
song; the other, the torture and bane of
domestic peace, is rarely pOrtIayed-it
is more than enough that she lives.
The maiden aunt of the novel is pale,
patient, and much abused. Her early
and only love has gone to heaven, where
she expects to meet him, a seraph; and
by way of preparation, washes the
children's faces, and makes and mends
their clothes, endures their naughtiness
with the imperturbability of a saint.
She accepts the sights, seedlings,
drudgery, and cast-Off clothing of her
sister-in-law with the grace of chris
tian and the cOuntenance of martyr,
or endures the unwilling liberation of
her brOther-in-law with the meekness
which in itself is a guarantee of the
kingdom of heaven. But in actual life
how often the maiden aunt who derives
a parasitic existence from the family OF
another, either never had a lover, OF
lost him through the fault of her own
nature; and for this cause alone never
forgives the woman, whose home she
shares, the fact that she has husband
and is the mother of children. Useful
she is. indispensable she may be in the
daily routine of domestic labor, and yet
no less is she a spiritual disturber, an
actual maker of mischief, the secret
and often unknown source of misunder-
standing, estrangement ana SORROW in
expressible. Where one family Is made
happier by the fatal third person, many
are made wretched, and not a few are
finally broken upand destroyed through
such an influence.

Scientific.

PoIsoNs AND THEIR RANTIDoTEs.-Fatal
results of poisoning are most frequently
occasioned by delay in applying. or by
ignorance of, the antidote. The follow
ing is list of the antidotes OF the COM
mon poisons, and / suggest that chem
lists, dyers, druggists, and others who
are brought daily in contact with pol
sonous substances, post this list In some
conspicuous place in their laboratories.
For alkaloids, such AS morphine,
duinine, etc. Emetics and the stomach
pump must be relied upon rather than
chemical agents. Astringent liquids
may be administered, such as tannic
acid, which precipitates many OF the
alkaloids from their aqueous solution,
absorption of the poison being thus re-
tarded.
For antimony (tartar emetic, etc. ::
ANY form of tannic acid may be admin
istered (infusion of tea, nutgalls, Gin
chona, and oak bark, or astringent
solutions or tinctures), an insoluble
tannate of antimony being formed:
The stomach pump must be also applied
as speedily as possible.
For arsenic paris green, etc. J: Re
Gently precipitated moist ferric hydrate,
best administered in the form of mix
ture of solution of perchloride of iron
with carbonate of soda. Emetics should
be also given, and the stomach pump
applied.
For copper (verdigris, etc.: For an
antidote, administer iron filings, also
white of an egg (albumen), which forms
with copper a compound insoluble IN
water. Apply the stomach pump.
For hydrocyanic acid (cyanide OF
potassium, etc.): A mixture of green
sulphate of iron, solution ofperchloride
of IRON, and either magnesia or carbon
ate of soda, is the recognized antidote
in cases of poisoning with prussic acid.
Inhalation of ammonia is also advised.
For lead: Administer a solution of
EPSON salts or alum, and induce vomit-
ing.
For mercury corrosive sublimate,
etc.: Swallow the whites of several
eggs. Albumen gives white precipi-
tate with salts of mercury, which Is in
soluble in the juices of the stomach.
| For oxalic acid In cases of poison
ing with oxalic acid or salts of sorrel,
chalk and water may be administered
as chemical antidote, with the view OF
producing the insoluble oxalate of lime.
Emetics should also be applied.
For tin: In cases of poisoning by
tin salts (dyer's tin liquor, solution OF
carbonate of ammonia should be given,
White of egg is also said to form an
insoluble precipitate with compounds
of tin. Vomiting should also be speedily
induced.
For zinc: Large doses of zinc, for
tunately, act as powerful emetics. II
vomiting has not occurred, or has taken
apparently to an insufficient extent, a
solution of carbonate of soda Common
washing Soda, Immediately followed by
white of eggs and demulcents, may be
administered.

II You $50 west" Young Man.

To both single and married men in
the East who have decided to go West,
we would whisper il their ears one
thing which, if needed, will be of value
to them. 1t is this; Avoid too COM
mon error, that of putting yourselves
up with the notion that you are going
West to show the natives how to work /;
that out there you will be looked up to
as somebody unusually smart in your
line. The Western people estimate a
man by what he really Is as meohanic,
ana do not give him credit for what he
is not. True, if you are heralded as a
workman of superior skill, they await
your coming anxiously, and will lay
nothing in the way when you have
stripped off your coat and are one among
them. But the moment it is discovered
that you have been over-estimated, all
your pleadings about show they do il
East" will avail nothing. Hundreds OF
instances have come under our observa-
ton wherein workmen from the East
have gone West inflated with conceit,
and, when they were put to the test,
were found almost worthless Carriage

New STREET RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE
A trial recently took place on the Man.
chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire
railway, between the Grange Lane and
Tinsley stations, of a tramway engine,
constructed by the Yorkshire Engine
Company, upon L. Perkins patent
system, for the Belgian Street Railway
Company, Brussels. The novel features
of this engine consist in its not emitting
any smoke or steam into the atmos-
phere, and making comparatively little
noise. The engire used steam at 500
lbs. to the square inch, and maintained
this pressure by natural draft without
any difficulty. The engine is compound,
and expands the steam to the most
economical limits, and then condenses
it by means of two air surface conden-
sers placed one on either side of the
machine. The engine can be driven
from either end, all the driving gear
being duplicate to obviate the necessity
of turntables. The engine accomplished
a speed of fifteen miles per hour, draw
ing its full load up gradients varying
from in 200 to in S0.-Iron.

PRESERVATION OF WOODEN LABELs.-
The following method of preserving
wooden labels that are to be used on
trees or in exposed places is recon-
mended : Thoroughly soak the pieces
of wood in strong solution of sulphate
of iron then lay them, after they are
dry, in lime water. This causes the
formation of sulphate of lime, a very
insoluble salt, in the wood. The rapid
destruction of the labels by the weather
is thus prevented. Bast, mats, twine,
and other substances used in tying or
covering up trees and plants, when
treated in the same manner, are similarly
preserved. At a recent meeting of a
horticultural society in Berlin, wooden
labels, thus treated, were shown, which
had been constantly exposed to the
weather during two years without being
affected thereby.

THE WARN SPRINGS OF COSTA RICA.-
A. V. Frantzius states that these
springs, more than 80 in number, may
be regarded as a continuation of the
remarkable series of warm mineral
springs discovered by Humboldt in
Venezuela, and extending for $50 miles
from Cape Paria to Merida. The Costa
Rica springs begin indeed Is degrees of
longitude farther west, but are situated
under nearly the same parallel of longi-
tude, namely, 100 n in strip of land
running for 80 miles from east to west.
Most of them occur in narrow mountain
gorges on the banks of rivers, or are
even overfowed by the rivers, so that
they are visible only in the dry season.
Their temperature is higher in proper
ton as they are situated at a lower
level. The highest observed tempera-
ture is 157.1'. The water contains some
salt.

language Of the Clouds.

The colors of the sky at particular
times afford wonderfully good evidence.
Not only does a rosy sunset presage
fair weather and ruddy sunshine, but
there are other tints which speak with
equal clearness or accuracy. A bright
yellowish sky in the evening indicates
wind, pale yellow wet, a neutral gray
color constitutes a favorable sign in
the evening and an unfavorable one in
the morning. The clouds are full of
meaning in themselves. If their forms
are soft, underlined and feathery, the
weather will be fine. If the edges are
hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul.
Generally speaking, any deep, unusual
lines, betoken wind and rain, while the
more quiet and delicate tints bespeak
fair weather.
