Foolish Fashion.

The STYLE Of wearing the hair tied in knot
or lump low down on the neck. which few
would-b be fashionable ladies have lately a.
doptcd, may ultimately become popular with
a portion of the fair sex, that portion, we
NAV add in parenthesis, that always stand
ready to give up a neat and appropriate mode
for anything that is new d.outre. no matter
how unclean and unbccoming it may be }
But il will never find much favor with men !;
for oddly as it may sound bmen nowadays
have a keener sense'o the 6tuess,,of things in
the matter Of dress, and more oxacting rules
ionchipc 'neatness and cleanliness OF person
and attire. than most women Fancy FASH
ionable gentleman ,,,'for instance, with mass
of greasy. filthy false hair hanging over aud
soiling beyond the limit Of decency the collar
and shoulders of two .hundred-dollar coat,
supposing for the sake Of illustration, that it
would be possible for him to find one costing
so much money. Or with his trowserS legs
taiipg in the dus, and mud. making his
boisery and underwear 50 abominable wet and
dirty as TO be at once uncomfortable, un-
healthy, and indecent. No man in his senses
would do, or think Of doing, either of these
things; yet leaders of fashion among women
ard their blind followers DO morcl Aud,
what is more they seem to enjoy it.

Preserving Eggs.

The Farmers Advocate recently offered a
prize for the best method of keeping eggs over
winter. The first recipe given below took the
prize:
Whatever excludes the air prevents the de-
cay of the egg. What have found to be the
most successful method Of doing so is to place
a small quantity of salt butter in the palm OF
the left hand and turn the egg round in 1t, SC
that every pore of the shell is closed then dry
sufficient quantity Of bran in an oven Zoe
sure you have the bran well dried, or it will
rust). Then pack them with the small ends
down. a layer of bran and another Of eggs, un-
til your box is full; then place in a cool dry
place. If done when new layed, they viii
retain the sweet milk and curi of new laid
egg for at least ten months. Any oil will do
but salt butter never becomes rancid, and a
very small quantity of butter will do a very
large quantity of eggs. To insure freshness
rub them when gathered in from the nests
then pack when there is sufficient quantity

Hard Times.

We have q recipe for keeping the time'
hard. Let everybody talk depressiDsly
When any one fails in business, put it in al
the papers. Let business men keep up per-
petual complaint. Let us have occasiona
editorials melting bread-riotS, and political
speeches on the wrongs of the aborins classes
Let everybody prophesy hard winter, a very
hard winter, an awful hard winter. Let us al
talk down instead of up. Let us take no ac
count of the fact that -four is cheap, aud tha
the baryests are large, and God is good. W.
shall in this way be able to take another iag-
got from the poor mans hearth and knock
another pane of glass out Of his window, and
hinder the manufacturer from employing him
All together now-ministers, editors, capital
lists, aud laborers-let US give 4 long, deeI
groau, and keep it going till next spring an'
the times will be as hard as we could reason
ably expect.

Battling the Bugs.

The Journal Of Chemistry publishes val
liable recipe for the destruction OF insects :
Hot alum water is recent suggestion as au
insectitude. It will destroy red and black
auuts, cockroaches, spiders. ..cbinch bugs ana
all the crawling pests.whichsinfest.our houses.
Take two pounds Of alum and dissolve IN
thre,l or four quarts Of boiling water, let II
stand on the fire till the alum disappears {;
then apply it with,a brush, while nearly boil
Ing hot, to reyery joius' sud crevice in your
closets, bedsteads, pantry, shelves andihe hSe'
Brush the solution into the'cracks of the toor
and into the crevices OF the skirting or mop
boards If You suspect they. harbor vermin'
If, 10 whitewsshins a ceiling, plenty ot alum
is added to the lime, it will also serve to keep
insects at "a distance e Cockroaches will fec
the paint that has been washed in cool alum
water. Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from :sunts by drawing chalk mark. just
around the edge of the top OF them 1he
mark must be unbrokeD, or they will creep
over it; but continuous chalk mark hall an
inch in widIhswil set their depredations at
paueht. Powdered. ..alum or borax will keep
the chinch bug at respectable distance, aud
travellers should always carry package in
their hand bags to scatter over and under
their pillows in places where they have reason
to suspect the presence of such bed fellows.

Marriage.

Marriage is TO woman at once The happlest
and sadIest event OF Der life; il is the
promise of future bliss, raised on the death Of
all present enjoyment. She quits her home
her parents, her companions, her occupations,
her musements-everyihiog on which she
has depended for comfort, for affection, for
kindness, for pleasure The parents by
whose advice she has been guided, the sisters
TO whom she dared impart every embryo
thought and feeling, the brother who has
played with her, Icy turns the counsellor and
counseled aud the younger children to whom
she has hitherto been the mother and the play
mate-all are TO be forsaken at one instant /;
every former tie is loosened, the spring Of eve
ry hope aud action is TO be changed and yet
she flies with joy unto the untrodden paths
before her. Buoyed up by the confidence OF
reqnited love, she bids fond and grateful
adieu to the life that is past. and turns With
excited hopes aud joyous anticipations 10 the
happiness to come Then woe % the man
who can blight such fair hopes-who can,
coward Ike, break the illusions that have won
her, aud destroy the confidence which love
has inspired

Why Johnson's Ram Failed TO Get a
Premium.

Our country fair is just over; But JOhn-
sons Cotswold Ram did not take The prize
that was offered for the best animal Of that
kind. Judge Pi,man was chairman OF the
committee on rams. aud he manifested the
deepest interest in Johnson's ram indicating
clearly that. if any sheep ought 10 take
prize that enc ought TO. Johnson's ram was
by itself in pen with high board fence, aud
before adjudicatiDg the prizes the Judge
thought bo had better 90 10 aud make close
examination OF the animal for the purpose Of
ascer,ainine the fneness of It's WOOL. As soon
a. the Jalgo reached the interior he
walked towards the ram, whcTeupon the ram
BEGAN TO lower its head and to shake It omln-
ously. Just as the Judge was about to feel
the fleece the ram leaped forward and planted
lis head in the Judges stomach, rolling him
over on the ground. Before the Judge had
time TO realize what had happened, the ram
came at him again and began series OF
promiscuous butts each given with the force
and precision Of pile-drIver. IL butted the
Judge on the back, on the ribs, On his arms,
on bis shoulder. blades, on the bald place ON
his head. on his breast. on his shins It buttcd
his nose. it buttcd his watch into mass OF
loose cog-wheels, it bu,ted bis spectacles on,
/, butted his high ha, into black silk chaos IL
butted him over into the corner and up against
the fence, then it butted four boards out OF
the fence, but,ed down another Of the COM
mite, buttcd three small boys into fits, buited
the money -taker at the gate, and then fed out
into the country, buttipg harmlessly at the
fresh air. The Judge did not distribute tho
prizes that day When they collected him
from various parts Of the pen, they wiped the
mud from his trousers and the blood from his
nose, aud seut him home with a perennial
stomach-aohe and determination to start
after that wandering mutton, the FIRST thing
in the morning with n shotgun. .-Hir AddteT.

The officer said it was hs duty 10 discour-

where a man had come 100 miles 10 get up

He told the Russian Bear 70 60 up TO The
corner Of BeauJen street, enter some saloon'
talk in very loud voice, aud he'd soon have

That's me-much obliged :! exclaimed the
man, as be walked Oh.
In about ten minutes a boy came running
down and said that a man with a chcwed car,
two black eyes and a broken nose was up
there in the ditch The officer went back
with the boy, aud he soon came upon tho
Russian Bear who was lying 10 the gutter

his coat ripped in every seam.

A Magic Fan.

Tho Nashville Banner says: " A Rock
town maiden has invented new method for
dismissing tiresome beaux. When they call
in the evening and remain until ten o'clock,
she rises up quickly, and walking over to the
clock, which is ticking on the mantcl, winds
it up, exclaiming, lunconsciously, Of course
Dear me, how late il is, and the nights are
so shortw If they don't take this hint she
suddenly becomes very warm, and fans her
self violently. Her fan is a model in every
respect. Il has the words. Young man,
does your mother know you're ou,?" on one
side in small letters, while the other side Is
blank. She adroitly turns the side with The
inscription toward the young man, who glanc-
ing at it, suddenly remembers that he must
be home by half past ten o'clock certain.
She, of course, politely inquiries why bis haste,
and he murmuriDg an excuse, bids her good
night, and fees from her presence forever
Her real lover is never permitted TO see that
side Of the fan"

We have used the following for several
years. and fud it perfect. To four gallons OF
water add one pound Of brown sugar, one pint
Of moasses, two. ounces Of salt petre, and
fine salt until it will float an egg. This guam
tity will answer for quarter Of beef. For
driving. when the beef is thoroughly picked
through, take it out and hang where the dry
ing process is comparatively slow. The time
required 10 pickle through, depends upon the
size Of the pieces, probably from ten days to
two weeks. If any one has better process

1857. The capture Of Lee, the captain OF
that band Of assassins, was made lately in
Utah. Lee is a thorough polygamist, having
had eighteen wives and sixty-two children,
