Cut this Out.

Every person should know how to
treat Il flesh wound. Every one is liza
BILE to be placed in circumstances away
from surgical and veterinary aid,
where he may save his own life, the
life of friend or beast, simply by
the exercise of little common sense.
In the first place, close the lips of the
wound with the hands and hold them
firmly together to check the flow OF
blood until several stitches can be TIA
ken and bandage applied. Then
bath the wound for long time in
cold water. ''Should it he painful,
a correspondent says take Il painful
of burning Goals and sprinkle upon
them common brown sugar. and hold
the wound in the smoke. In min
ute or two the pain will be allayed,
and the recovery proceeds rapidly.
In my case rusty nail had made a
bad wound in my foot. The pain and
nervous irritation were severe. This
was all removed by holding it in
smoke fifteen minutes, and was able
to resume my reading with comfort.
We have often recommended it TO
others with like result. Last week
one of my men had Il finger-nail torn
out by a pair of ice tOngs. 1t became
very painful, as was to be expected.
Held in sugar smoke twenty minutes,
pain ceased and promised speedy
recovery"

Alum.

1t is we'll known, says an Austria
liam paper, that little alum dissolv-
ed is very effective in clearing muddy
water. But short time since, some
alum was applied in a manner which,
from it's novelty and valuable results mus
is worthy of notice. In Plaoe
where water is scarce at present,
little alum was dissolved in no. th;ct %
ter, and thrown into tnO .Da ~ soan
soap-suds. In a moment moisd 'ne ev 'thp tbp
curdled. and accompanied ..' Dy 1ne
muddy particles, sank ctatlv to the DOcIom' cIonr
Leaving the water perfectly clear'
leas,Ig l',rn and devoid of smell. The wa
t"r pu' was found very useful in washing
cIotbing oGa again when poured off the
sadime6t. A similar result was OBJ
tained in quick manner by filling a
boiler with soap-suds, placing it Oh
the fire, and throwing a bit OF 9fum
into it. When the suds bOi]ed, the
scum went over, and left the water
clear, soft, and as useful for wasnihg
clothes, as it had originally been.

Spiritual Manifestations.

Some weeks ago young man, well
known about town, whose name we
suppress for Obvious reasons. spent
the evening with several of his com
paniOns, and in the course of CON
versatiOn reference was made tn
strange silence of friend who had
gone to st. Louis. and whose where
abouts could not be ascertained bv
letter or inquiry. Going home that
night, our hero's thoughts naturally
turned to his absent friend, and
while dwelling on the question,
"What had became of him?" a hand
tapped his shoulder, and his absent
friends voice sounded in his ear.
"Why, George, old boy, how are
you?"
"Heavens. my old friend, where
did you come from?" was the reply,
and both shook hands heartily.
"Well, l just dropped down, know
ing you were thinking of me, and as
l couldn't stay long, thought I'd walk
home with you"
1--WE were talking about you to
night, and some of the boys thought
you had been killed, as nothing could
be learned of you" said George.
"Well, George, the truth is | was
drowned in the Mississippi four
weeks ago and my body was caught
in an eddy on the Illinois shore, and
It's mighty uncomfortable, cause |
can't get out and come to the surface,
you see," and the dead man smiled
in his astonished friends face and
took his arm.
George looked puzzled, and re-
marked even while he shivered,
swell, old boy, you are remarkably
healthy looking dead body, and 1
hope YOU won't vanish before l get
yOu home and give you a toddy."
The ghastly joke was kept up with
disagreeable pertinacity, the friend
insisting on the unpleasant situation
his corporeal remains occupied,
while George, with considerable eff
fort tried to turn the subject until his
residence was reached, and, dropping
his friends arm, he remarked,
"Come in and take something to
warm you up. A chap that's been
lying at the bottom of the Mississip-
pi four weeks ought to feel chilled"
He looked around and his friend
had disappeared. Startled for mo-
ment, he called and his voice sound
ed loud and distinct on the still air.
There was no hiding-place, no nook
where one could conceal himself, and
he looked in vain. He ran up and
down the square, but no form, no
football met his eye or sounded on his
ear. He entered the house, feeling
very queer, but inclined to think his
friend had playeI joke upon him.
He turned up the gas and mixed
two toddies in the belief that his
friend would return and accept of his
hospitality. After waiting half an
hour he was compelled to take his
''night-cap" alone, and, puzzled and
half indignant, retired without awak-
ening his wife.
Next morning he arose and dressed
himself, and, to his dismay, found
that his watch was missing. A close
search proved unsuccessful. He re-
cited his evenings experience to his
wife and failed to convince her that
he had seen his friend, who has
never been heard of since. His
friends look serious when he conf

How Mr.. Lincoln Forgave HIM.

From the Washington Chronicle.l
An editor of a weekly paper, pub
lished in little village in Missouri,
called at the White House, and was
admitted to Mr.. LincOln's presence.
He told Mr.. Lincoln that he was the
man who first suggested his name for
the Presidency, and pulling from his
pocket an old, worn, defaced copy of
his paper, exhibited an item on the
subject. "Do you really think, said
Mr.. Lincoln, ''that announcement
was the occasion of my nomination.
Certainly" said the editor, ''the sug-
gestion was so oppOrtune that it was
ut once taken up by other papers, and
the rosnlt was your nomination and
election"
"Ah! well," said Mr.. Lincoln, with
sigh, and assuming rather gloomy
countenance, 81 am glad to see you
and to know this, but you will have
to excuse me; l am just now going
to the War Department to see Mr.
Stanton" well" said the editor,
II will walk over with you" The
President. with that apt gOOd-nature
so characteristic to him, took up his
hat and said, "Come along"
When they reached the door of the
Secretary's office, Mr.. Lincoln turned
to his companion and said, 81 shall
have to see Mr.. Stanton alone, and
YOU must excuse me-" and taking
him by the hand he continued, 'GOOd-
by; l hope you will feel perfectly
easy about having nominated ME;
don't be troubled about it; | forgive
