A Man Dies OF the Hiccoughs.

About one of the most singular cases
of death that ever came within our pro-
vince to mention is that of Milton w.
Blair, of Louisa county, who died last
week in California of the hiccoughs. Mr..
Blair is an old merchant of Louisa county,
but has not been engaged in business for
number of years. He has been resid-
ing near Morning Sun, since retiring
from business. Last fall he was attacked
with fit of hiccoughing which con-
tinued for some weeks, with scarcely any
intermission. Becoming alarmed at the
long continuance of the spell, Mr.. b.
came to Burlington to consult with a
doctor, who, after treating him awhile,
declared he could give him no relief.
From this city he proceeded to Chicago,
and consulted the best medical authOri-
ties there, who did all in their power for
him, but could not relieve him. BY
their advice he went to California, ac-
companied by his sister, thinking that
the change of climate would help him,
remaining in that State to the time Of
his death, hiccoughing almost continu-
ally, and having but few intervals of
rest. The continued strain and distress
wore him to mere shadow of his former
self, and last week his sister telegraphed
to friends and relatives, in this and
Louisa counties, that he was dead, and
she was bringing his remains on for
burial.-Brlington (Iosca) Hd,ckeye.

The Girl Who Wins.

The time has passed when women must
be pale and delicate to be called interest
ing-when she must be totally ignorant
of all practical knowledge to be called
refined and high bred-when she must
know nothing of the current political
news of the day, or be called masculine
or strongminded. 1t is not a sign of
high birth or refinement to be sickly and
ignorant. Those who affect anything of
the kind are behind the times, and must
shake up and air themselves mentally
ard physically, or drop under the firm
strides of common ideas, and be crushed
into utter insignifcance. In these days,
an active, rosy faced girl, with brain
quick and clear, warm, light heart,
temper quickly heated at intended in
suits or injury, and just as quick to for
give; whose feet can run as fast as her
tongue and not put her out of breath
who is not afraid of freckles, or to
breathe the pure air of heaven, unre-
strained by the drawn curtains of close
carriage; and above all, who can speak
her mind and give her opinion Oh i'm
portant topics which interest intelligent
people, is the true girl who will make a
good woman. This is the girl who wins
in these days. Even fops and dandies,
who strongly oppose woman's rights, like
a woman who can talk well, even if she
is not handsome. They weary of the
most beautiful creature if she is fool.
They say, cav, yaa-s, she is beauty,
and no mistake, but she won't do for
me-lacks brains," for which commodity
it would seem she could have little use
in her association with him. However,
to please even an empty-headed fop, a
woman must know something.

Oranges In Florida.

One side of story is good until you
have heard the other side. We denied
the statement of correspondent of our
morning contemporary, who-that is the
resp0ndent-declared that oranges in
Florida remained on the trees for year,
fresh and delicious at the end of the year
as when they first ripen. And now comes
an entirely reliable gentleman who says:
"You doubt the statement of Flor
ida correspondent about ripe oranges
hanging on the trees without decay for a
year. As have spent three winters in
Florida, allow me to say that correspond
ent is right. i myself have eaten sweet
oranges that have hung on the tree the
year round, and have eaten sour oranges
that have hung on tree for two sum-
mers. These oranges that 30 hang are
good, sound, juicy fruit. This was on
Dunn's Lake. Florida oranges that hang
after the new crop starts lose their juice,
which returns 10 the tree, and in the fall
fill up with the juice like the new crop"

A Pigeon Race.

A few days ago Thomas Grist, of Phil
adelphia, and well-known bird fancier
in this city, made match to fly pair
of Antwerp pigeons between this city and
Philadelphia for $3.50 side. Articles of
agreement were signed and forfeit posted,
and the match will take place on or about
the 9th of June. In the meantime each
of the gentlemen interested in the match
are engaged in preparing their pigeons
The birds are trained in the following
manner: Every morning the Baltimore
fancier leaves President Street Depot and
goes ten or fifteen miles into the country.
The birds, nine in number, are then
turned loose and allowed to return to the
city. A man here carefully notes the
difference in the time Of their arrival,
and each morning the birds are taken
further away, until at the last the entire
distance between here and Philadelphia
has been gone over. The record of each
bird from different points on the route is
carefully computed, and in this way the
best flyer is selected. The match is the
first of the kind ever held in Baltimore,
and consequently bird fanciers are greatly
interested.--Bdh.A american.

A Highly Magnetic Lightning Rod
Peddlar

He drove his team close up to the
fence, got down and raped at the door.
The widow Gilkens opened it, when he
said: "Mrs. Gilkens, / am cognizant of
the circumstances by which you are at
present surrounded, left as you are to
trudge down the journey of life through
a cold and heartless world, no longer
sustained and encouraged by the noble
one to whom you gave the treasures of
your hearts affection, and bowed down
by the manifold cares and responsibilities
incidental to the rearing of eight small
children on forty acres of sub-carbonifer.
GUS limestone land; yet, Mrs. Gilkens,
you are aware that the season is now
approaching when dark, dismal, danger

streaks of electricity dart promiscuously

tation unsafe for yourself and those dear
little ones; hence, therefore, let me sell
you a copper-wire, silver-tipped, and
highly magnetic lightning rod"
The woman staggered back few PAGES
and yelled: "Narcis! unfasten old
CrOuch!" In another instant a savage
bulldog came darting round the corner
of the house with bristles up, thirstins
for gore. The dog had already mangled
a machine agent and patent soap man,
and was held in great esteem by the
better class of citizens for his courage
and service; but when his eye met the
hard, penetrating gaze of Mr.. Parsons,
his chops fell and he slinked of and hid
In the currant bushes. Then the man
said "My lady, you seem to be little
excited. Now if you will allow me to
explain the probable inestimable-"
II know something that will start ye,"
said Mrs. Gilkins, as she reached under
some bed clothing and brought forth a
horse pistol, but, owing to the shattered |
condition of her nerves, her aim was |
unsteady, and the charge of buckshot
missed, save where a few scattered ones
struck his cheek and glanced off. A hard
metallic smile spread over his counte-
nance, as he leaned his shoulder against
the door frame, and again commenced:

Close by the graveyard gate;
But ah live to rue the day

A Novel Feast.

Colonel Murat, for l knew him as
colonel as we'll as prince, was man of
singular resources in dieteties as in many
other matters. One day, on occasion of
the unexpected arrival of guests, he,
discovering the larder to be rather empty,
and finding the embarrassments of the
menage aggravated by the consciousness
of madame's absence, ordered all the
ears and tails to be cut from his hogs,
allowing their swineships to roam again
at large, while these appendages lay
seething in the cuisine preparatory to a
most savory meal. "a pity" declared
the master of Lipona, "that hogs could
not be all heads and tails"
AS crowning feat of his enterprise in
the field above alluded to, it was his
boast that he had tasted of every bird
and reptile in Florida. "Alligat0r tail
SOUP" he said, "would do, but de buzzad
was not good" OF experiments in cook
cry he was very fond, and often annoyed
both Nine. Muiat and the cook by the
strange mingling of sauces and condi-
ments furtively introduced into the fam
lily food. No tree or shrub of all the
State botanical repertory but he would
appoint to some use, many as vegetables
for the table. From the magnolias,
myrtles, and some other glossy-leafed
trees of Floridian forests, he would ex-
tract wax, while many medicinal herbs,
the cinchona or quinine plant among
them, were brought forth as really
worthy trophies of his passion for re-
search.-The Galory.

Curious Deviation Of the Plumb.Lin


The deviations of the plumb-line at
different points of the earth's surface
from the general law of perpendicularity
to the surface of spheroid, is usually
considered to be owing to the lateral at
traction of mountain masses drawing it
toward them; but a singular case of
quite contrary nature has been brought
to notice in the immediate vicinity OF
Moscow, the Russian geologist having
discovered the existence of local devia-
ton to the extraordinary amount of
nineteen seconds, within very short
distance of that metropolis.
II appears that at Moscow the plumb
line is found to deviate eight seconds
from the spheroidical perpendicular
toward the north. At twenty Russian
versts, or thirteen English miles, to the
northward of Moscow, this deviation
ceases. 1t does so, also, at eight miles to
the south of the city; but on going
farther south, it recommences in con-
trary direction, and, at twenty five
versts to the south of the city, is convert
cd into q southern deviatian of eleven
seconds. Proceeding from Moscow in
either an easterly or westerly direction,
similar phenomena are observed.
As there is nothing that can properly
be called mountain in the neighbor-
hood of Moscow, it is supposed that
there exists beneath that city enormous
cavities, occupied by air, or perhaps by
water; or that strata of some substance
of very weak specific gravity exist there !;
or that there extends over the whole Of
the country surrounding it a general
loose, unconsolidated mass of geological
material to a depth hopelessly beyond
what human labor can expect to pene-
trate,

When the buds Of April blossomed, and the birds Of

Where we lifted first our eyelds on the splendor of
the morn,
From the milk-white breast that warned us, from

where the dear eye glttered DER that will look
on us no more
There is no love like the old love- that we courted
In our pride, ~
Though eur leaves are falling, falling, and we're
falling side by side.
There are blossoms all around us with the coors Of
our dawn, = =
And we live in borrowed sunshine when the light
Of day is gone. =

never be forgot
There Is no place like the old place-keep green the
dear old spot -

Heaven prolong their lives -
There no love like the old lOyes-God bless our
loving wives! .TTs

ORCHARD grass furnishes excellent
pasture three weeks before any other,
and after close grazing, ten days rest is
sufficient TO produce another growth. A
correspondent of the Farmers Home
Journal writes that his experience Is that
cows feeding on this will produce more
and richer milk than on blue grass.

WHEN feeding corn in the ear to horses
it is a good plan to soak it twenty-four
hours in weak brine.
The wheat crop of Oregon has not
been failure since first settled by the
whites, thirty years ago. What country
on the globe can show better record
than that?

FRENCH CoFFEE.-French coffee is
much talked of and the general supposi.
tion is that the peculiar French quality
is in some filtering process, or in the way
the elemeat is extracted from the berry
But any intelligent housewife knows how
to extract the elements from the berry,
without any peculiar apparatus. Unless
she sews it up as the French dc, she will
have nothing that will appear like
French coffee. The French make their
coffee SO strong that one part of the
liquor requires the addition of two parts
to reduce it to the proper strength. This
addition is made with hot milk. This
large proportion of hot milk, in the
place of so much warm water, gives the
coffee richness like unto that made by
the addition of cream in the ordinary
way. BY this means hotels, and any
body that will 60 to the expense of buy
ing good milk, can have good coffee with
out cream

sidered more wholesome than cabbage
plainly boiled. Cut cabbage into
quarters and soak it in strong salt and
water for an hour or more, then boil in
the usual way, and squeeze in colander
until perfectly dry; then chop very fine,
season with butter, pepper, and salt to
taste. Press the whole very closely into
an earthen bowl, and bake one hour in a
slow oven. When done turn it out, and
serve with vinegar and pepper.
