subject of general inquiry. A family benefited by

A Girl Of Spirit.

A FEW weeks since lady residing on
Cass avenue became minus a cook, and
forthwith proceeded tC advertise for one.
The day following the insertion of her ad-
vertisement the lady was agreeably sur
prised by the appearance of smart,
good looking girl, dressed in becoming
style and not lacking in good looks and
evident breeding, who applied for the
place, somewhat to the astOnishment of
the lady herself. However, she was ac-
cepted and entered Immediately upon her
duties as cook. If never before that fam
lily subsisted upon well-cooked food, they
had no reason TO complain after the new
girl took possession OF the kitchen. Such
joints, roasts, steaks, soups, excellent
coffee, in fact everything calculated to
please the most fastidious epicurean taste,
this treasure of girl sent up day after
day. st.
Not alone this; the apparentrefinement
of manner, correct conversation and gen
eral appearance carried by this strange
serving girl reasonably attracted cOnsid-
cradle attention and inquiry, TO all of
which the maiden paid no attention what
ever, but kept her own counsel and per
formed her work in an extremely salts
factory manner. A few evenings since the
family attended some amusement at the
opera house, leaving the girl alone at tht
house. Returning half an hour earlier
than they expected the family, upon ap-
preaching the house, were surprised L
hear proceeding from the parlor the mos
delicious strains of music, and wondered
who the performer could be, as, judging
from the quality Of the music and It's su
perb rendition, none but master hano
was its producer. Entering the house
without noise the family proceeded on
Radsse TO the parlor, where, 10 their sur
prise, they found the unknown tnuSieiar

A Bullet in His Brains.

a LITTLE over two weeks ago, says the
Reporter of Lake City, Fla, David Alex
ander, a mulatto about eighteen years of
age, of athletic frame and in vigorous
health, was accidentally shot in the head
by pistol in the hands of companion.
The pistol was very diminutive weapon,
carrying number twenty-five cartridge
ball, the smallest size, we believe, that is
manufactured. After receiving the injury
Alexander walked home, a distance of two
miles, without any difficulty. DIR. Holt
was summoned and examined the wound.
The ball penetrated the skull Just above
the right eye, and into the orifice made by
it the doctor introduced an eightinch
probe, passing its entire length directly
backward, with a slight inclination up
ward, until it touched the inner plate of
the skull on the opposite side, in which the
doctor thought the ball was imbedded.
DIR. Holt thinks, from the direction
taken by the ball, that it must have tray-
ersed both hemispheres of the brain; yet,
beyond little bloody sanies, there has
been no discharge whatever from the
wound. Not a particle of brain-matter
has escaped. From the first the patient
has suffered little or no inconvenience.
There has been no pain, and scarcely any
fever, no cerebral disturbance of any kind,
no paralysis of either side, and no symp
tom whatever to indicate that so sensitive
an organ as the brain had received any in
Jury. In two or three days the patient
was walking about, and now for more than
week he has been regularly on the
streets in apparently good health and spir-
its, and, except for bandage about the
head, there is nothing in either his appear
ance or manner to excite suspicion that Il
bullet is in his skull

were, listening. The revulsion of hope
was too much; my faculties all became
dim and hazy. | fired off in succession the
two barrels of my gun.
My next recollection is that of knot of
colliers in semi-nudity, who had Just left
their workings and come through the
brattice which divided their portion of the
pit from the disused part, and were stand
ing around me with their safety lamps.
They had fled, they afterward told me, at
first, thinking an explosion had taken
place in the abandoned workings; and il
was long before the "hutty" could per.
suade any of them to follow him. But
when they once saw my dcplorable con-
dition, agonized with hunger and thirst,
grimy from head TO foot with coal dust,
thin and cadaverous with anxiety, no Sis.
ters of Charity could have been more ten
der in their ministrations. Warm tea and
bread in spare morses were given me
and then | was raised and carried to the
workings, put in a wagon and drawn by
one of the pit-horses to the pit-head
Never shall forget the delight of being
brought up to "bank" and once more
feeling the blessed air of heaven blow on
my haggard cheeks And il any day my
resolution not to shoot again on York
shire moor were in danger of being shaken
by the hospitable invitations of Willis, my
nightly dreams would soon force me tC
abide by my vows.

GrOtesque SalutatiOns.

THE inhabitants of the Philippines, in
saluting each other, use most complex
attitude; they bend their body very low,
place their hands on their cheeks, and
raise at the same time one foot, in the air
with their knee bent. The islanders,
near the Philippines, take the hand or
foot OF him whom they salute and with II
gently rub their face The Laplanders
apply their nose strongly against that OF
the person they salute. In an island situ-
uated in the Straits of the Sound saluta-
tions are really gymnastic performances.
Houtman said the natives saluted him by
raising his left foot, which they passed
gently over the right leg, and from thence
over his face. An Ethiopian takes the
robe of another and ties il about his own
waist so that he leaves his friend half
naked. The salutatOry ceremonies of ne
groes are farcical; the greater part pull
the fingers till they crack. When two
negro monarchs visit they embrace by
swapping three times the middle finger
When the ancient Franks would show a
peculiar mark of esteem they tore the hair
from their heads and presented il TO the
person they saluted. The slave cut his
hair and offered 1t to his master The
Chinese are singularly affected in theiI
personal ciyilities. They even calculate
the number of their reverences. They are
the most remarkable posturers. The men
