Mr.. SUMMERS HoUsEK EEPER. On
the floor of the Senate, at the funeral of
the late Senator, was Mrs. Margaret
Broadhead, who for four or five years,
has oficiated as his housekeeper. Mrs.
Broadhead was housekeeper for Secretary
Seward for ten years, and was present in
Stewards room when Payne the assassin
called, bent upon his bloody work. 1t
was she who drove the assassin out of the
room when others stronger than she
fiinched. Mr.. Sumner heard of her
bravery from Mr.. Seward, and asked her
to come into his employ as soon as Mr..
Seward broke up housekeeping, which
she did, about three years ago. She had
charge of the Senator's house during hi,
absence in Europe. Mr.. Sumner has re
membered her, it is said, in his will.

Temperance at Chicago.

THE LADIES THREATENED WITH VIC
LENCE.
An ordinance in Chicago provides that
liquor saloons shall be closed on Sunday.
On Monday proposition was before the
city council repeating the ordinance, and
permitting the saloons to be kept open
on Sundays. A petition against repeal
signed by 10000 persons, was presented
by committee of 100 women, who had
just come from church where 500 wo-
men had assembled to consider the me-
mortal. As the ladies proceeded to the
City Hall they we're followed by mob,
who hooted at them to such an extent
that the police were necessary to protect
them. The council proceeded to consid-
er the same and rejected the prayer of
the petitioners and adopted an ordinance
allowing the drinking saloons to keep
open on Sundays by vote of % to IA.
The defeated la lies were then escorted
from the hall to the outer door by the
police, who with the utmost difficulty
kept back the bowling mob, who still re-
NAMED outside, from reaching the ladies,
all of whom were of the highest respec-
liability and numbering among them the
wives of the best citizens. They were
assailed with yells and bowls from one
of the vilest crowds that could be raked
from the cutters of the city, who pressed
so closely upon the little band that had
they not been protected by few men
among the crowd there is little doubt vi
olence would have been offered them.
Indeed, one brute did trip one of the la
dies, but skunk away before the fist of a
gentleman standing near.
The mob followed the ladies the entire
distance back to the church. yelling eve
ry moment like Comanches, and present
ing one of the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed in that city. After the
Committee had entered the church and
briefly reported the failure of their mis-
sion those present spent some time in
prayer, and then dispersed.

The Condensed Milk Man.

Gail Borden, the Condensed Milk
Man." died in Colorado County, Texas,
on Sunday, January II, in the seventy
third year of his age. Mr.. Borden first
came to New York from Galveston,
Texas. In 1850 he invented what is
called meat biscuits, containing, in the
smallest possible space, all the nutritive
properties of the beef or other meat
used in it's manufacture. After thorough
tests. both in this country and Europe,
the highest authorities pronounced the
meat biscuit an excellent article, re-
tanning unimpaired the nutritive prop
critics Of its constituents. A council
medal was awarded at the great exhibit
tion in London in 1851. The report on
the subject says: "a more simple,
economical and efficient form of port
able concentrated food than the Amerl-
can meat biscuit has never been brought
before the public. Mr.. Borden toiled
necessarily, and often under great dis
couragements, in producing this article,
but he still saw defect in it, which
was the agency used in desiccation.
After further experiments for several
years, he perfected process by which
pure broth is reduced to solid form.
He next turned his attention to making
condensed milk. Preparations of milk
were known in Europe and in
this country, but they were
too costly to admit of general use, and,
moreover, foreign substances were in
troduced which were less nutritive than
new milk. Mr.. Borden was the man to
overcome all obstacles in this matter,
and he set to work with great zeal and
confidence. His experiments were long
and expensive, but he at length sue
ceeded. The first factory which he es-
tablished was at Litchfeld, Conn.,, and
the demand for the milk still increased.
In 1860 more extensive works were
erected in Dutchess county, New York,
on the line Of the Harlem Railroad,
where three vacuum pans were employ
ed, capable of working 5000 gallons
per day. Another factory was estab-
iished at Brewster's, Southeast, Put
nam county, another at Livermore
Falls, Me-, and another at Elgin, Kane
county, Ill. the two latter having each
a capacity of 1000 gallons per day.
At the latter place there is also fac.
tory for the manufacture OF the extract
of beef.

Religious Statistics.

A valuable table of the statistics of
christianity is presented in Professor
A. J. Schem's Statistics of the world
for 1873, just published in New York
and London. In North and South
America ,out of population of S4,500,-
600, 100000 are Roman Catholics,
and 30,000,000 Protestants. In Europe
out of population of 301 100000, 147,-
100000 are Roman Catholics, II, 800, 900
Protestants, and 70,200,000 adherents
of the Greek Church. In Asia out of a
population of 794,OOO,OOO, 100000
are Roman Catholics, 1900, ,000. Prot
estants, and 8,500,00 adherents of the
Eastern churches. In Africa, out of n
population of 192 100000, LOO, 900 are
Roman Catholics, l, 200, 900 Protestants,

Tunnel Under the British Channel.

The feasibility of this project, and
the advantages and disadvantages of va
rious localities proposed for it, are still
being discussed. Mr.. Joseph Prest-
wick, an eminent engineer and geolog-
ist, has recently investigated the con-
ditions of the strata between the conti-
nent of Europe ana the coast of Eng
land. These researches extend from
Ostend, Belgium, to st. Valery, in Nor
mandy, France, and from Hastings to
Harwich on the English side; and by
them it was ascertained that deposit
of the London clay extends from the
mouth of the Thames TO Dunkirk, on
the northeast point of France. This
deposit is from 200 10 400 feet thick !;
and the impermeability and homogenei-
ty of the clay, rs shown in the works Of
the subway under the Thames in Lon
don, point out the line between the
mouth of the Thames and Dunkirk as
one of the most practical routes for the
tunnel. But the distance $50 miles, is an
important consideration, against which,
again, must be set off the very great
depth at which tunnel between Dover
and the neighborhood of Calais would
have to be made. But the probability
of striking coal in the last named work
would be an additional inducement to
take the shorter route; added to which
must be considered the fact that the
traffic between England and the conti-
nent lays chiefly between London and
Paris, in the direct line of which the
Dover tunnel would lie.

A Home Of Ones Own.

Human existence implies the neces-
sity of food, raiment, and shelter. A
habitation is scarcely less important to
life than the question, "what shall we
eat, and wherewithal shall ye be cloth
ed?" Happiness in civilized coun-
tries largely depends upon the COM
forts and conveniences with which a
home may be invested.
Every man in this country, says 1.-THE
Home Guide, especially if we have q
family, should possess home OF his
own and generally this may be secured
in few years by industry, frugallty
and prudence. In large towns and
cities. the money expended for rent by
persons engaged in ordinary avocations
will, in few years, purchase modest
home. To be dependent upon land
lords year after year for habitation Is
often inconyenient and unpleasant, be-
sides being very poor economy. There
are many vexations and annoyances
which few renters escape, attending
their experiences as tenants OF other
peoples houses and tenements, whlle
the burden Of taxation for municipal
purposes fall mainly upon the tenant;
as landlords charge the taxation I'M
posed for public improvements on them
to the rent-roll, and it therefore comes
out of the pockets of the tenants.
In house of his own, one feels not
only that he is less dependent than
when occupying tenement belonging
to another, but there is an incentive to
improve and beautify home to make
it attractive, and thus add to its value
"a motive not often present when
man lives in a rented tenement.
From every point Of view it is adyis-
able for man of family, when he has
found permanent place OF residence,
to determine to provide q home Tor
those dependent upon him. Whether
in a town or the country, this is adVls'
able, and the reasons for it are so OBJ
vious that it is scarcely necessary to
refer to them.

Oatmeal.

Americans are gradually waking up
to the fact that oatmeal is by no means
an unimportant article of diet. AS a
food, the merits of which have stood
The test of centuries, and which is cal
culated to promote the sanitary inter-
ests of the nation by laying the foun-
dation for more hardy and vigorous
constitutions for the coming generation,
let us regard its general adoption as an
article of diet as nothing short OF a
national good. Its phosphorestce,nt
qualities act as a gentle and healthy
stimulant to the brain, and on no other
food can one endure so great or so pro-
longed mental labor as on oatmeal por-
ridge. Properly cooked it is not only
a most healthful and nutritious food,
but it is decidedly palatable, as is fully
attested by its wonderfully rapid adop-
tion as a popular diet by the very fas-
tidious palates of our American people.

Old Laws.

Some OF the ancient laws OF Massa-
chusetts are worthy Of consideration at
the present day. In 1642 there was
law providing that "those who do not
teach, by themselves or others, their
children or apprentices, so much learn
ing as may enable them perfectly to
read the English tongue, and knowledge
of the capital laws. shall be fined twenty
shillings for each neglect therein" In
those days it was also thought proper
that no interference should prevent
suitable marriages. A law OF l64l
reads that "if any person shall wllifuliy
and unreasonably deny any child timely
or convenient marriage, or shall exer-
else any unnatural severity toward
them. such children shall have liberty
to complain to authority for redress IN
such cases."

Can Paralysis be Cured.

Paralysis, according to an English
writer, is rare, much that passes for
paralysis being durable, especially
through the imagination. The opinion
is supported by the statements of one
of the best medical men in Paris, who
in 1s49 was a physician in the great
hospital there, the Hotel Dieu. In
that year this hospital was particularly
famous for the cures effected in it, and
many were the hypochondriacs whose
imaginations sent them home well after
q stay in its wards. One odd case was
that of a young girl in the department
of the Ain, whom a sudden fright had
rendered dumb and paralyzed. Local
physicians could do nothing for her,
and at last asserted that only the doc
tors of the Hotel Dieu could cure her.
Firmly believing this herself, the girl
was sent to Paris and admitted to the
hospital, where the hurried physician
merely examined her as a matter Of
form, promising to return on the next
day. WheA he came he heard to his
astonishment that the patient was in
clined to speak. He spoke to her, and
she answered instantly that she thought
that she could walk with little help,
and she did walk twice around the ward
very easily. The next week she re-
turned to her native village as well as
ever. 81 knew" she cried, "that the
Hotel Dieu would cure mep It would
be hard to find more striking instance
of the mysterious power of the imagi-
nation, and OF strong belief upon the
physical structure.
