At the Springs.

The routine at all the springs is much
the same. The hotel is usually roomy
building, surrounded by porches or
verandas, and stands in the middle of a
green lawn, dotted with the white oak
or some other of the superb trees
abounding in the Virginia mountains.
In the hotel the ball and dining-roo
and the general reception parlor are
grouped; while in the small neatly
painted, one-story cottages, ranged in
rows, equi-distant from the hotel, the
visitors are lodged. There is host of
attentive and polite colored serving men
and women, ex-valets and ex-nurses of
the ''before-the war" epoch, and they
will tell you, with pardonable pride, 81
used to belong to ole Mars -" men,
tioning some name famous in the an
nails of slave proprietorship. Here, one
can thus establish the charm and seclu-
sion of his own home, and combine
with it the benefits accruing from a
sojourn at a watering-place. Society,
which is usually very good, crystalizes
in the parlors of the hotels and in the
bathrooms, where bands of colored
musicians discourse the latest themes
of Strauss and Gungl. When one tires
of dancing and of the promenades to
the springs, there are the mountains,
and the strolls along the ridges thou
sands of feet above the level of the sea,
where the air is always pure and in
spring. There is no gaming, save an
innocent whist party by some sleepy
old boys who lurk in the porches,
keeping out of the strong morning sun;
there is no Saratogian route of carriage
and drag; no crowded street, with ultra
style predominant in every costume;
nothing but simplicity, sensible enjoy
ment, and excellent taste. In the sunny
mornings the ladies and their cavaliers
wander about the mountain pathways;
dress does not exact homage until din
ner- time, and the children join with
their parents in the strolls and prone
nades, followed by the venerable
"aunties." black and fat, who seem in
dispensable appendages to every South
ern family having young children

Amsterdam is very strange city and
unlike any other city in Europe. 1t Is
in the shape of lady's fan when open;
Five canals encircle the city IN parallel
curves, and one passes around the out
side. The streets cross these canals by
drawbridges. There are six hundred
bridges crossing these canals. and the
city is divided into ninety-fve islands
by cross canals. Houses front on these
canals, and often have a wide quay, but
sometimes the houses rise from the
waters edge. These canals are filed
with ships and small bopts-they can
pass through the city and unload at any
point.

Miscellany.
Little People Of Eastern story.

There is a singular fascination to
young people in those NEUROLOGICAL
anomalies of Nature-the little men and
women of Eastern story and modern
allegory. The dwarfs of the "Arabian
Nights" the pigmies who, in the old
mythology, waged such sturdy warfare
against their foes the cranes, and the
live and interesting diminutive commu-
nifty of Liliput, which Swift has made
familiar to every household, are attrac-
tive playthings of young and even of
older imaginations. And now comes
the story that such thing as a nation
of dwarfs is not only not impossible,
but has actually been discovered.
While the redoubtable Schlieman has
been digging up the fesh-pots of Troy,
another Teuton with like enterprising
genius and good fortune in discovering
the marvellous, and a name even more
unpronounceable- it is Schwein-
furth-has been penetrating far into
Central Africa, somewhat to the north
ward of the scene of Livingstone's
operations, and there has, if we may
believe his solemn statement, found a
race of sable ''Pigmies. They are, of
munlty, as were Gulliver's diminutive
friends of Liliput, but wild savages,
black as Erebus, with big. fierce eyes,
and ferociously shaggy hair and boards.
To be sure, they are not Uery tiny, the
average height of the males being four
feet seven; but this is small enough to
make them a marked exception to the
rest of the known specimens of human
ity. They are very fond of hunting, and
even of engaging IN wars with their
bigger neighbors, whom they attack
with great zeal in large numbers; and
the enterprising doctor suspects them
of being cannibals. He succeeded in
inducing one of the Akkas-the name
of the pigmy race-to go with him to
Europe; but little Tikkitikki, having
overfed himself with unaccustomed rich
food in Egypt, to the great loss of the
European lovers, and the an
thropologists of Germany died on the
doctors hands. 1t is conjected by
Schweinfurth that the Akkas are the
aboriginal Africans, and he asserts that
they appear, from their hairy persons
and their decidedly monkeyish man.
ners, to bring man a degree nearer to
Darwin's missing link" Herodotus,
it seems, asserted that there was such
a pigmy race in the African interior,
though his account implies that they
were more wonderfully small than the
Akkas; and his other statements about
people "who use their feet for umbrel-
las" and so on, have given incredulity
to his statement about dwarfS.

The Robins Protest.

"As idle as the birds" you say
All, much you know about lit
Were busy all the livelong day:
We can't get on without it.
cit isn't much to build nest7"
Well, then, suppose you try IL;
Just work a week, and do your best
There'd not bird come nigh 1t.
You don't know where to find nice things,
Nor how to weave them nicely,
And tx the sticks and strsws and strings,
Each in its place precisely.
You can't accomplish that small task
With twenty times our labor;
Then don't be hard-that's all ask
Upon your little neishbor.
While wife is sitting, through the day
You'll hear my music ringing;
She'd tire to death, I've heard her say,
If'twere not for my singing.
And when the little ones have come,
help about the worming;
Each day full fifty We bring home,
And never mind their squirming
fill one mouth, and then sway
As fast as can skurry,
With voices In my ear that say,
''oh father, hurry, huryw
Then, just before they're taking wing,
l must keep close behind them;
Il would be such dreadful thing
II some bad cat should ind theml
There is the twilight concert too,
And that must be attended.
And now, it must be clear to You
Our cares are never ended,
For thus we work the livelong day
You can't pretend to doubt it
You see there is no other wsyl
And that is all about it.

If you buy your coffee already
Drowned, says correspondent of the
Country Gentleman always brown
it over. This develops better flavor
and increases the strength. The reason
is that the desirable qualities are made
available by the heat but go back again
gradually, and may be brought out
again by heat as before. In cOnse-
quence of this, coffee should always be
Drowned, or Drowned over, at the time
it is wanted to be used. Then it is
fresh, with all the flavor and strength
developed. 1t will benefit 1T to keep il
cOrked up tight after it is Drowned. 1t
should never be left exposed to the air
in this condition, as it will lose its
strength, and absorb OdOrs that come
in contact with it, Hence the grocery
taint of the coffee of commerce, both
the Drowned and the mbrOwned, as
both have the property of absorbing,
being good disinfectants. In purchas-
ing get the raw material. The Drowned
is often an inferior or defective article,
cOlOred to hide the defect. The best
way is to get sample and test it. If
good, secure a quantity and keep in a
dry place and pure air, using it as
wanted. Mocha and Java are the best
kinds. Grind coffee fine, or, better,
pound it i'm a mortar. This crushes and
reduces it to condition to take in
water the better, so as to extract its
substance, which it will readily do when
finely reduced; else more or less of the
strength will remain unObtained. |

To avoid long standing in the vessel
to settle. add the white of an egg and a
little water to the ground coffee before
it is steeped, and mix well; leave not a
dry dust. Let the quantity of water
and egg be sufficient to mOisten, and no
more. If more is added. the egg will
cook; and as it holds the coffee, the
water cannot well reach it,and you will
have a weak cup of coffee tasting of the
egg. 1t is a nice thing to apply the
egg properly; but when so done, it will
clarity the liquid, making it sparkling
and clear like wine. Never, never boil
coffee. When will people learn to heed
this important injunction 7 1t has
been preached time out of mind, but
seems to do no good. Look at the
amount of poor coffee that is made with
its strength boiled away, what is not
left in the cOarsely ground mass. The
better part is readily thrown off by
boiling-the extractive matter, much
of which is Objectionable, taking its
place. Steep, then, as you would tea,
bringing to the boiling point, but not
exceeding it. A few minutes will suf-
flee, stirring in the meantime the sur
face occasionally, so as to expedite the
settling.

Scenes at Lynchburg.

Returning from the bridge toward
the town 1 came to wide street stretch
ing straight up the hill. On either side
we're stone pavements, crowded with
negroes; colored children gamboled on
the flags; colored mammas smoked
pipes in the doorways of shops, where
colored fathers sold apples, beer and
whisky; colored damsels, with baskets
of clean linen in their stout arms, ,joked
with colored boatman from the canal;
colored draymen cursed and pounded
their mules as they hurried down the
hills; and colored laborers on the
streets enveloped one in cloud OF
suffocating dust as he hastened by.
Towards the water sloped other streets
filed with roomy tobacco warehouses,
and with rows of unpainted dwellings;
half way up the hill broad and we'll
built business avenue crossed at right
angles, and there, at last, one saw white
people, and the ordinary sights OF
city. The plaintive sound of horn
was heard above the hustle of traffic; it
was In the hands of a negro, summon
ing tobacco buyers to an auction. En-
tering the warehouse, one saw hogs
heads of popular herb opened and IN
spected, and heard the familiar Iargon
of the auctioneer.
Turning once more towards the as
cent of the hill, Ecame into an open
air market, which for picturesqueness,
We'd with any in Italy or Spain. On the
curbing of the sidewalk, and even on
the stones in the middle of the square,
dozens of negro women were seated
before baskets containing vegetables, or
various goods of trivial description.
One venerable matron, weighing. per-
haps, two hundred pounds, had her
profuse chignon overtopped by diiapl-
dated beaver, and was smoking clay
pipe. Many young women were cleaniy
and nicely dressed, and had folded
back the huge flaps of their starched
sun-bonnets, so that they seemed to
initiate the head dresses of the Italian
maidens at Sorrento; and hosts OF col
ored buyers, market-baskets IN hand,
hovered from one seller to another,
talking in high-pitched voices, and IN
dialect which Northern ears found diff
cult to understand. Leaving the mar
ket, and yet ascending, 1 came to
another broad street, lined with COM

I calculate, what with the cost of en-

this bother besides. And that's why !
