= RungIing Romancer ON NashviIIe.

The articles published in ScribRer'S Mag
Gzine, entitled 1.-The Great South" and
written by Edward King, are very interest
ing, but contain so many gross errors that
they cannot be implicitly relied upon by
Northern readers who may have no other
means of obtaining information regarding
tie South. For instance, in the December
number Of the magazine referred to, ap-
pears this remarkable statement concerning
our own city:
"When / first saw Nashville, the capital
of Tennessee, its streets were almost de-
serted. The only signs of activity were at
the railway stations, where thousands OF
people were crowding the trains which were
to bear them beyond the reach of cholera.
The city received a dreadful visitation Of
this destroyer in 1873, and the dispatches
which brought from Memphis the accounts
of the horrors of the yellow fever were the
only news which found in the papers Of
Nashville"
The natural inference is that the yellow
| fever was prevailing in Memphis at the
| same time Nashville was undergoing a
| cholera visitation, whereas the fact is that
| the latter occurred in June, while the yell
| low fever was not raging in Memphis IN
| til the month of October following.
| Again:
..At Edgefeld, across the Cumberland,
! there are many prosperous manufacturing
establishments, and large numbers of the
citizens Of Nashville, finding that the
| neighboring town has thus far enjoyed
complete Immunity from cholera, have
| huilt handsome residences there. The
| Tennesseeans attribute the prevalence OF
| cholera during the warm season in a large
| degree to the use of cisteTn water. Posi-
| bly, when Nashville has a modern system
of water-wOTks the terrible seourge will no
longer trouble it."
The Tennesseeans did not 'attribute the
prevalence of cholera during the warm
season, in a large degree, to the use of els
tern water" but on the contrary endeavor-
ed to obtain cisterR water during the prev
alence of cholera, and one of the features
Of that never-to-be-forgotten month o.
June, was the procession of business mel
coming over from Edgefield daily, each car
rying a vessel filed with water TO be uSeC
during the day.
The closing sentence in the paragraph
above quoted sounds very absurd, when II
is well known that Nashville has had q
"modern system Of waterworls" for foIt!
years past.

The Largest Church in America.

Says Richmond correspondent
The First African Baptist Church in
this city is the largest in the world save
Surgeons. II numbers 5000. at
tended baptismal occasion when 166
were baprized. The ordinance was he
comingly administered there was no
undue haste, and yet the baptisms were
l25 in an hour. At the same rate the
5000 baptized on the day of Pentecost
could have been baptized 10y immersion
by the twelve apostles in two hours.
The pastor of this church, the Rev.
Mr.. Holmes, is born leader. Hc was
a slave till the close of the war. The
church is not, as | suspected it might
be, a mob. IL is thoroughly organized
II has thirty deacons. The discipline
is strict. If there is anything that the
colored race delight in il is circuses
and balls. But these are strictly pro-
hibited. A short time ago seventeen
of the members engaged in dance.
Whether they danced "round' on
"square, we did not learn, neither did
the church stop to inquire, but exclud-
ed them at once The very next month
the whole seventeen came back full of
pentinence and promises. They were
restored. The reception of membersis
well guarded.

Keeping MILK sweet.

Sending milk 10 the cheese factory

ed, especially in the hot months of
summer, by having the milk sour be-
fore il reaches its destination, and of
course returned. This is more often
the case when the owner lives ut a con
siderable distance from the factory, and
it is two and even three miles ON the
road. To obviate this difficulty is
what every dairyman (and woman tool
desires, and 10 such, few hints may
be of advantage. How often do we
hear the farmers wife say. "If | only

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cnrio.ities Of s:rnning.

There are many curious facts about
vegetable life. We can, for example.
graft the apricot on the plum, and the
peach on the apricot, and the almond
on the peach, and thus we may produce
tree with plum roots and almond
leaves. The wood, however, of the
stem will consist of four distinct varie-
ties, though formed of one continuous
layer. Below the almond wood and
bark we shall have perfect peach wood
and bark, then perfect apricot woodland
bark, and at the bottom perfect plum
wood and bark. In this curious i'm
stance we see the intimate correspond
ence between the bark and the leaf,
for if We should remove the almond
branches we might cause the several
sorts of wood TO develop buds and leafy
twigs each of its own kind Each see
ton of the compound stem has its seal
of life in the cambium laycr, aud the

DIR. Simon, of Lorraine, advocates a
means of stopping boils and furuncles
which he declares infallible AS soon
as he preceives on any part of the sur
face the characteristic redness of vary
ing form and size, with eliminating
point in the center which soon passes
from red to white, he puts in saucer q
thimbleful of camphorated alcohol, dips
the palmer surface of the three middle
fingers in the liquid, and gently rubs
the inflamed surface, especially the cen
trail portion. This is repeated eight or
ten times, each time for about half a
minute. The surface is then allowed
to become quite dry, and slight coat
ing of complicated olive oil is applied,
to prevent the evaporation of the alco-
hol. Boils or furuncles seldom require
more than four applications, and often
a single one is enough TO cause them to
dry up and disappear. When several
applications are needed, they should
be made at intervals, say morning, mid
day, and evening. The same treatment
is equally successful in whitlow, and all
injuries of the tips of the fingers. AS
soon as pain and redness are perceived
in the finger, it should be soaked for
ten minutes in camphorated alcohol,
then well dried, and finally soaked in
camphorated sweet oil The relief is
immediate, and three applications
generally effect perfect cure.

Oneof the Observation-Disclosures
ena ever witnessed in this country
took place or the Fourth of July in
Bergen county, New Jersey About615
?. NJ, IN the village of Westwood, dur
ing the celebration of the day, sudden
darkness came over the village, and,
before the alarmed inhabitants could
seek shelter, a violent storm of hail
stones descended upon the heads of the
crowd. Hailstones two inches and q
hall IN diameter, and as hard and heavy
as cobblestones, came down in furious
shower. Hens and chickens were killed
III large numbers COWS and horses were
stunned The frightened populace ran
IN every direction. seeking shelter i'm
sheds, beneath trees, aud i'm every avail
able spot. Fortunately the majority
escaped without injury. A young lady
named Miss bogart was, however,
struck on the hand by one of the hail
stones and her wrist and arm frightful-
lylacerated. AT the Ridgewood House.
In the village, an enormous amount of
damage was done. Not single pane
OF glass was left whole in the build
ing, and, incredible Us it may
appear, the hailstones actually
broke through the slate roof, Us
If they had been cannon balls. Tho
! storm covered an area of about twenty
five miles, stretching from Spring Val
ley TO Kinder Kaimack. Tho storm
prevailed at ITS utmost at the Stations
of Pascack and Ridgewood, which are
on the Hackensaek branch of the Erie
railroad, and the depots We're complete
ly riddled, as though battle had been
fought in the neighborhood. As late
as & o'clock next morning hailstonts
We're picked up ut the station, the size
of walnuts. Through the section of
country where the storm ragged, most
perfect scene of desolation can be wit
nessed. Every tree is stripped of It's
fruit, grain fields of rye and corn laid
low, and the hope of hay this fall is ut
terly gone. The sensation created in
the vicinity was, rs might be imagined,
tremendous. In one sewing machine
factory, just above Ridgewood, over
] 900 panes of glass were broken and
the slate roof damaged. The shower
continued for just thirty minutes, and
in this short space of time, damage to
the amount of many thousands of
dollars was done. The hailstones ON an
average, were the size of turkey eggs,
and of every conceivable shape, with
sharp corners and edges that cut like
knives. During the continuation Of
the shower, the thunder and lightning
was incessant, and, with the screaming
of men, women and children, and the
shrieks of afirighted cattle, the scene
was one truly awful.
