selves, when home is our comfort, and

1t is something unaccountable how
these sober and sedate old fellows, as
soon as their families have gone to the
country to spend the heated term, COM
mence to wear their Sunday clothes
every day, and to argue that four hours
sleep is all that the human frame re-
quires to be healthy.-DetrOH Free

The Earl of Caithness has Just pat
ented a machine for washing railway
carriages, by which a long train may,
after a dirty run, be thoroughly
cleaned, and made to start afresh in
about half an hour. His lordship had
also invented gravitation compass, to
render ocean navigation more accurate,
and thus has rendered service to both
ocean and land travelling.
The Pail Nall Gazette, having learned
that young English lady, Miss Rich
ards, has performed the feat of walking
thousand miles in thousand hours,
says, with remarkable profundity and
good sense sit may be as well for
young ladies not to attempt to follow
the example set by Miss Richards with
out the approval of their families and
medical advisers. Girls are very imita-
tive, and there is reason to fear that
thousands of them will now take to
walking thousand of miles in thousands
of hours without pausing to consider
the effect on their constitutions.
The best cup of coffee to be had in
Europe is In Vienna. On the principal
business streets there is coffee house
in almost every block; they are not
located down in a dark and dingy base
ment, but on the street floor. Beer is
rarely sold in them wine may be had.
But coffee and cigars, with a newspaper
and little bread roll, constitute the
commodities of the place. Sitting
around scores of little metallic or mar
BILE tables, within the room or on the
sidewalk, may be seen groups of per-
sons, of both sexes, slipping coffee, with
bread and newspaper, and, if the slipper
be of the male persuasion, cigar is
added to the entertainment.
The Saratoga San gives the following
rs a dinner table feature adopted by
some of the hotels at that resort cat
every plate the snow white napkins,
tastefully folded, are placed in the clear
cut-glass goblets, and carefully disposed
/ in every napkin is beautiful little but
ton hole bouquet. These are intended
/ for the guests, and are cheerfully
appropriated. The effect, both while
the bOGuets embellish the napkins and
after they have been transferred to the
button holes of the gentlemen's coats,
and to the bosoms of the ladies' dresses,
is very pretty and pleasing. The Sun
/ day bill of fare is handsomely illumi-
mated, and, being so pretty, ali of them
are carried away from the tables as
sort of souvenir.

In March last venerable Mohammedau
died there at the age of 143 years. He
had lived very religious life, was a
priest of his caste, was never married,
and is now naturally considered as a
saint by the Mohammedans. His
funeral was attended by hundreds of
persons of all castles, and his bier was
loaded with flowers, and the streets
were well watered by bhistees all the
way where it had no pass. Such
funeral had never been witnessed.
People from the villages within ten
miles round attended him to his last
resting place, which is in a garden
without the city, chosen by himself.
Money was given by all castles for the
erection of tomb for the saint.
On certain occasion, during General
Jackson's Presidency, Mr.. Buchanan,
at the request of Miss Patton, was
only too much gratifed to accompany
her to the White House, with the view
of introducing her to "Old Hickory"
They arrived at the presidential man
sion somewhat inopportunely (as it
would SEEM, the President being in his
library at the time, smoking his pipe,
and in state of comparative undress.
Buchanan, who had the privilege of the
house, communicated to the President
the object of his visit, when "the man
of iron" (as Louis Philippe designated
him) rose from his seat, laid aside his
pipe, and intimated to Buchanan that
he would wait upon Miss Patton at once.
Buchanan became somewhat nOrplussed
imagining that the old General meant
to receive Miss Patton in his then state
of dishabiLLe, and nervously insinuated
that the matter was not urgent, and
would allow the General to change his
dress, &c. Old Hickory gave Buchanan
one of his whitening looks, remarklng,
