French Remedy for Neu-
ralgia.

A remedy named "aqua.punc-
ture' has been introduced in Fra-ce
Tor the treatment of Neuralgia.
1t may be described as a force
pump which can be carried about,
and placed on a table with a
small flexible tube about two feet
long, 50 constructed as to deliver
a thread OF water from its eX-
tramity with such forceas to pierce
leather. In operating on a pa
tient afflicted with neuralgia, the
piston is worked few times, to
expel the air from the tube; the
point is then held about half an
inch from the painful spot, the
pump is worked aud the thread
OF water plays on the skin.
Presently, white vesicle appears
on the spot where the water
water strikes; and any number of
punctures may be made at the
discretion of the operator, and in
proportion to the extent of the
pain. At first, the skin around
the vesicles and the redness dis
appear, leaving only small black
point which is the crust formed
by the drying up of drop of
blood in the puncture. The op-
Grafton is described as painful;
bat the relief it produces is SO
great, that patients always call
Tor repetition whenever the neu.
ralgia pains return.

A Sensible YOunp Man.

The sensible young man is now living
near Council Bluffs, Iowa. Not long aye
he became involved in quarrel with no
less than five different men, and chal
lenged each one OF them to mortal com.
bat, All accepted, and We're upon the
ground in time. Then the hero OF the af
fair said that he wouldn't fight them all
at once, but would fight the best man
first, The five began discussing the
question of who was the best man, and
got to fighting. They struggled over the
subject for ABOUT quarter Of an hour
the champion sitting on log as umpire,
and when the question was finally sell
tied the "Dest man" could have been
whipped by anybody, and wasn't ready
to fight. The young man walked OF with
all the honors and was proud and happy.
This is the story, and is probably lie.

FRANCE has had another inundation.
This time it was Leslux that was over
flowed, and the damage, though nothing
like that caused by the previous flood,
was very great. Switzerland came in
for a part of the same storm. There,
however, the destruction was mainly
from the hail. The stones were so im-
mense that many persons were wounded
by them and some actually ykilled. Crops
were also destroyed and much damage
done to property of all kinds.

Dor with strange weird songs. The
grinding is done by three women, who
kneel over stone troughs sunken into
the floor. Slabs of stone OF different de-
grees of roughness are placed like a
washboard in the troughs, and on these
the grinding Is done by rubbing the
grain with another stone of the size and
shape of small roling-pn.
The first reduces the grain, which has
been already cracked, to meal, the next
makes it finer, and the third turns it out
fine flour. It thus passes. from one
trough to another, occupying nearly an
young, and some of them quite pretty,
work with coquettish merriment,
keeping perfect time with their music,
throwing their bodies forward together,
so as to bring nearly their whole weight
upon the mill. fheir long glossy hair,
which is kept very clean, is tossed freely
about their necks, adding much to their
grace and beauty.
One room of each house is devoted to
grinding and baking, the latter process
being even more curious than the
former. A smooth slab of slate two feet
square is fixed in the large fireplace and
heated by Goals. The hand is dipped
into thin dough OF the consistency OF
the stone, this being repeated four or
five times, till cake is formed covering
the entire stone, yet no thicker than
tissue-paper.
Only few seconds are occupied in the
baking, when the bread is taken off and
the operation repeated, till a few quarts
OF dough are manufactured into perhaps
thousand tortillas, one OF which would
hardly make mo1thful, but the thou
sand would cover the floors of five large
rooms. These sheets are made into rolls,
dozen or more being rolled together,
and are then eaten literally by the yard.

Chinese Comedy.

We are apt to think of the Chinese as a
grave people, alFunskilled In the lighter
arts OF satire and caricature; but, ac-
cording to that amusing traveller, d..
Hue, they are the French of Asia, ga ma
tion OF cooks, o nation of actors," singu-
larly fond of the drama, gifted In pas
qpinade, addicted to burlesque, prolific
in comic ideas and satirical turns. IA .
Hue ukens the Chinese Empire to an
immense fair, where you find mingled
with the hustle of traffic all kinds OF
shows, mountebanks, actors. Cheap
Jacks, thieves, gamblers, all competing
continually and with yociferous uproar
for the favor of the crowd. "There are
theaters everywhere; the great towns
are full OF them; and the actors play
n light and day."
When the British officers went ashore
in the retinue OF their first grand en-
bassy, many years ago, they were aston
lshed to see Punch In all his glory, with
Judy, dog and devil, Just as they had last
seen him on Ascot Heath, except that
be summoned his audience by gong and
triangle instead of pipes and drum. The
Orient knew Punch ages before England
saw him. In China they have a Punch
conducted by a single individual, who is
enyeloped from head to foot in a gown.
He carries the little theater on his head,
works the wires with his hands under
the gown, executes the dialogue with his
mouth concealed by the same garment,
and in the intervals of performance
plays on Lwo instruments. He exhibits
the theater reduced to its simplest form,
the work of the company, the band, the
manager, treasurer, iscene-shiiter and
property all being done by one per-
son.
In the very nature of.the Chinese
whether men or women, there is large
element of the histrionic, even those
pompoYs and noisy funerals Of theirs
being little more than an exhibition OF
private theatricals. The whole com.
pany gossip, drink tea, jest, laugh, smoke
and have all the air of pleasant social
party, until the nearest relation OF the
deceased informs them that the time to
mourn has come. Instantly the CONVEX
sation ceases, and iamentation begins.
The company gather round the coffin;
affecting speeches are addressed to the
| dead; groans, sobs, and doleful cries are
heard on every side; tears, real tears,
roll down many cheeks-all is woe and
desolation. But when the signal is given
to cease mourning, "the performers
says M. Hue, ''do not even stop to finish
a sob or groan, but they take their
pipes, and, 10! there are again those in.
Comparable Chinese laughing, gossip
ing, and drinking tea."--James Parton,
in Harper's Magazine for August.

Is Genius Transmittedi

Does the transmission of genius exist?
| Can dynasties entail merit by the priv
| ilege Of nature, as they entail power by
the errors OF society," There were five
| Caesars of the family of the great Julius,
and none OF them attained the universal
| and humanitarian genius OF the illustri-
GUS chief of his race. Augustus, though
able and prudent, was 30 timid that he
would hide himself under bed when he
heard crash Of thunder. Tiberius
avoided war, and wasted himself in
pleasure. Claudius deserved that Sem
eca should compare his divine skull with
a gigantic calabash. CRligula was a
sanguinary madman, and Nero san
culinary mountebank.
Individuals of the same family, chill
dren Of the blood, ST. Louis and Charles
of Anjou, the one was a saint and the
| other a demon; the one founded tribu-
! nails and the other Suborned them; the
one compelled respect to that point that
kings submitted to his Judgment the
bloody strifes of nations. and the other
excited hatred to such a point as to COM
mend the horrors of the Sicilian Ves-
pers; the one under the oak OF VIM
cennes gives every man his right, and
the other in the public square of Naples
| assassinates the last scion Of the house
/ of Suabia; the one leads the Crusaders
| like a great missionary anu a great gem
eral, the other robs them by land and
sea like thief and pirate. 1t can not
be denied that Charles the Fifth bears,
gloriously ON his shoulders for thirty
| years the weight OF the world, but GEN.
Jury afierward the successor OF that At
las is called Charles the Second.
| Isabel the Catholic, who conquers
Granada, and discovers America, who
ends the feudal age and initiates the
medern time, is daughter OF the feeble
Juan the Second, and sister of the impo-
tent Henry the Fourth. Charles the
Third imbibes on the throne in great
draughts, the moral spirit Of the eigh-
teenth century, assists the progress of
his time, fills a glorious page in The his
tory of Italy, and another glorious page
in The history Of Spain, but he leaves
his name and his authority and his
rights to two imbeciles, one OF whom
knows nothing but to kill javalies In the
Prado, and the other to train kangaroos
in Caserta. No dynasties exist in nature,
Genius is like the god of Nj Alohammed,
without father or sons in its greatness
and its eternity. The hereditary prin-
,ciple in power, is a principle which is at
once condemned by reason, nature, and
hIstory.-Emilio CASTELAR,, In Harper's
Magazine Tor August.

the trip may readily be made in about
four days. The proposed route is from
Whitehaven, on the southwestern coast
of Nova Scotia, to Plymouth or Brest.
Another plan for rendering the danger
of loss of lite much less is in the crea-
tion OF fixed routes or "ocean lanes,"
which all vessels will be obliged TO fol-
low.
This plan seems not only feasible, but
promises to be highly advantageous to
all concerned. BY it, vessels with the
amount of ocean traffic now existing
need be seldom out of sight of each other,
and In case of accident the sufferers will
be atle to obtain immediate aid. In
many cases the danger to the vessel and
its passengers is known long enough
before the final moment so that aid might
be obtained were there vessels near
or known to be ON given track.
In other cases the passengers and
crew are enabled to obtain tenn
porary safety by means of boats,
RATS or, life preservers, so that were
other vessels certain of passing the spot
in short time they might be rescued.
Along this line might also be established
signal stations, some of which would be
continually in sight from the vessels.
Another proposed system for life saw
ing IS that of the use of "life rafts," SIM
liar to those provided for the navy. The
fact that numbers of the accidents at
sea occur during storms, and on the
coast when the sea is very heavy, in
many cases precludes the possibility
of launching boats in sufficient numbers
to save the passengers and crew.
These life RATS are easily launched,
and, while they do not furnish the pro-
lection given by boats, they are less
likely to cause the death of those de-
pending upon them by being upset by
the waves and are capable of keeping
persons afloat and preserving life for
some time, and are thus more to be de-
pended on in furious storms than boats
which are likely to 60 under as soon as
launched. In regard to this Admiral
Porter, in report to the Navy Depart
ment in 1873, says: 81 have referred to
this important subject in several reports
to the Department, and again recon-
mend that it receive the attention that it
merits. No ship can carry boats enough
to save her crew in heavy sea, but
life RATS can be fitted to the vessel in
such way as not to cucumber her or
look out of place, and with their aid
whole ships company can be saved"
The recent and frequently recurring
ocean disasters, combined with the re-
quirements of the present time, make
thorough consideration of these PROPOSE
tions necessary and the adoption of
those practicable a duty which will in
time be demanded at the hands of nayi-
gators by the travelling public and the
world at large.
