A Sad Predicament.

Two young ladies and gentlemen in
Ulster county, N, Y, put themselves in
situation recently that they now feel
sorry for. A ball was held at which
there was large attendance of the young
people of the neighborhood. During
the festivities, somebody proposed they
should have o; marriage; so the young
couples, to carry out the sport, stepped
forward before a dignifed gentleman,
who speedily pronounced them man and
wife. 1t has since been discovered that
the dignified gentleman is a justice of
the peace, and the couples are much dis
turbed in their minds. One young lady
is reported to have spent the whole of
the next day weeping, her grief being
intensified by the fact that she is en-
gagged to another gentleman. OF cour g,
the justice of the peace should be pun
ished, but at the same time young peo-
pie should learn that marriage is no
joking matter, as Mr.. Caudle of historic
memory discovered,

An Irish Ghost Story.

A supernatural incident is said to have
occurred in the wilds of Kerry, short
time since. 1t seems that woman re-
siding in Glenfesk received call from
the spirit of her husband, "man of the
farming class, dressed in q shroud and
white stockings and gloves" The farmer
in white gloves stated that since his
death, some months back, although he
ought to be in heaven, he was detained
elsewhere on account of owing sum of
9l5 to friends of his, and he begged of
his wife to give him the money. The
woman in full faith handed him G1O,
and promised to give him the rest in q
few days if he came for it. Meanwhile
she went and told to the priest the cir.
cumstances of the case, and this gentle.
man, seeing the fraud, made proper pre-.
partitions to receive the poacher of the
ecclesiastical manor. When the ghost
in complete burial costume, arrived fol
the bank note, he was at once received
by a, couple of police, and proved, as
ghosts do in our day, to be mere pre-,
tender. He will now have to answer fo,
his misconduct before magistrate.

A Hot Springs, Bath

A correspondent Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean has been taking a bath at the Hot
Springs. Arkansas. He whites: The
bath-tub is nest of blankets, yod climb
in; the professor "eaddles you up, and
you sweat. Perspire is genteel word,
but it isn't genteel to have the water
gushing out of every pore of your body
by the pint And how nice il is, how
you would like to lie there for IN hour,
for day, for week. II the water
wouldn't trickle down from your fore
head into your eyes so; and you think il
pretty rough ON shirt collars. The pro
lessor puts cool towel over your eyes.
Ecstasy You think of the lotus-eaters,
and the poetry you have read of the
sweet, subduing influence " comes back
to you; you remember something de-
scriptive of hasheesh eating, and wonder
why they don't have an orchestra con-
nected with the bath house to play you
to sleep; the murmuring measures of
Gottschalk's cradle song reverberate in
your ear, and you try TO recollect how
you felt when your mother tucked you
away in the crib that used to stand at the
left of the fireplace, near the window
that looked out into the orchard You
wish the professor would go away and
forget you, for you can hear him about
the chamber, and you expect every mo-
ment to have your reverie disturbed,
which it is at the end of another eight
minutes. The professor gently removes
the towel from your face, wipes your
forehead with: "Now stan up, sir, and
I'll give you such a rubin as you never
got in this-placo, now tell you" You
climb indolently to your feet; you think
you will lie down somewhere as soon as
you get on your clothes, but the pro-
lessor RECEIVERS your faculties for you
with couple of rough towels and his
gigantic hands; he rubs you with vigor
that makes you bite your lips; you don't
like to ask him to let up little, for you
think you're just as good a man as he
ever got hold of, but you really wish he
would. Your body is coal of fire; Que
square inch of skin cools off a little, but
he scrapes it again, and keeps scrapine
it until you are as rudy as red apple.
Another graceful gesture from your at,
tendant, and "Now put on your clothes,
sir, but be careful not to stand in the
draught."

Medical Notes.

NEURALeIA.-It is said that the fumes
OF sugar snuffed up the nose will cure
ordinary cases of neuralgia Put small
quantity of sugar on hot shovel and try
it.
CATARRH REMEDY.-Take q wide
mouthed glass bottle loosely filed with
cotton, and pour on it the following
mixture: Pure carbonic acid, 80 grains:
aqua ammonia, Tsp. gr. 0. 96), 80 grains;
distilled water, 100 grains; rectifed
spirits of wine, 80 grains. Inhale fire.
quendy through the nose, and now and
then into the mouth.
To CURE HoARsENEss. When the
voice is lost, as is sometimes the case
from the effects of cold, simple, pleas
ant remedy is furnished by beating up
the white of one egg, adding to it the
juice OF one lemon, and sweetening with
white sugar to the taste. Take tea
spoonful from time to time. 1t has been
known effectually to cure the ailment.
TREATMENT OF HEADAcHE--Dr. l..
Brunton, in paper on "The Action of
Purgative Medicines" writes: The adj
mlnistration of brisk purgative, or a
small dose of Epson salts, thrice a day,
IS most effectual remedy for frontal
headache when combined with constipa-
ton; but if the bowels be regular, the
morbid processes on which it depends
seem to be checked, and the headache
removed more effectually by nitro
hydrochyric acid or by alkalies, given
before meals. If the headache be imme-
diately above the eyebrows, the acid is
best; but if it be little higher up, Just
where the hair begins, the alkalies ap-
pear to be more effectual. At the same
time that the headache is removed, the
feeling of sleepiness and WEAKNESS which
frequently leads the patients to complain
that they rise up more tired than they
lie down, generally disappears.

Electing the President.

The new bill before the United States
Congress, proposing toamend the Consti-
tuition SO as to allow voting directly for
President and Vice-President by the
people, instead of electing them through
the Electoral College, sets forth that
the President and Vice-President shall
be elected by the direct vote of the peo-
pie in the manner following: Each State
shall be divided into districts equal in
number to the number of Representa-
tives to which the State may be entitled
in Congress, to be composed Of con
tigous territory, and to be as nearly
equal in population as may be, and the
person having the highest number of
votes in each district for President shall
receive the vote of that district, which
shall be counted one Presidential vote.
The person having the highest number
of votes for President in State shall re-
ceive two Presidential votes from the
State at large. The person having the
highest number of Presidential votes in
the United States shall be President. #
two persons have the same number of
votes in any State, it being the highest
number, they shall receive each one
Presidential vote from the State at large,
and if more than two persons shall have
each the same number of votes in any
State, it being the highest number, nc
Presidential vote shall be counted from
the State at large. If more persons than
one shall have the same number of votes,
it being the highest number in any dis.
trict, no Presidential vote shall be count.
ed from that district. The foregoing
provisions shall apply to the election Of
Vice President. The Congress shall
have power to provide for holding and
conducting the elections of President
and Vice-P President, and to establish
tribunals for the decision of such cleo,
tons as may be contested. The States
shall be divided into districts by the
Legislatures thereof, but Congress may
at any. time by law make or alter the
same.

How Manufac:ories ars EstabIIshnd.

In single small town in Illinois, a
town containing, perhaps, twenty-five
hundred dwelling houses, there are at
least six score manufactures Of all
grades. Vast numbers of agricultural
implements are annually made there, and
are shipped South to places that ought
to be able to make them themselves.
This busy Illinois village makes ma
chinery, furniture, gloves and mittens;
has whole streets of Touring mills, and
sends into the market all varieties of
paper. At the same time it is prosper
GUS "a an agricultural sense. II managed
" ship more than three hundred thou
sand bushels OF grain, nearly q million
pounds of butter, and thousands Of cat
tie and swine, during the year Just past.
1t IS needless to say that money is plenty
and circulates freely IN that town in Hi
nols; that the streets are handsome, well
paved and lighted, and lined with ele-
giant residences; and that che savings
banks are numerous and in good condi-
ton. And this town would serve as an
illustration OF the condition of thousands
In the Eastern and Western States, and
che incident is related by an exchange to
show that every place ought to have its
own manufacturing establishments and
keep at home the money that is sont to
other localities for the articles. The
paper tells us that these establishments
are generally started on small scale and
grow up to be important. 1t says that a
person begins by making a few plows
for his neighbors; year by year his bust
ness assumes larger proportions, until he
has mammoth factory and supplies a
dozen counties. An Industrious family,
desrous of getting on in the world.
makes clothing, or gloves, or hats. The
profits of oDe year are used to enlarge
the BUSINESS, and in few twelvemontbs
another mandatory is established
1hls Is the way in which prosperous
towns are built up. It is because every
one works, turning his or her industry
into hundred different channels for the
common veal, that such thriving com
mumtles as the Illinois town are spring
ing up by scores and hundreds. It is
very easy to build up such communities
In every village or town.

Deaths Head Moth.

One of the most puzzling sounds to the
inquirer is that of the death 's-head moth,
when it is caught and kept o prisoner.
Sometimes it is like that of mouse, bat
much more piteous, Rumor, after men
tioning many experiments, concludes
with the conviction that in the more
minute part of natures works there is
always something which we cannot ex-
plain. " He thought it most probable
the cry came from the head, perhaps
from the mouth, or rather from the
tongue, and it might be from the friction
of the palpi against the tongue; for when
he unfolded the spiral tongue with pin,
the cry ceased, but was renewed the in
slant it was coiled up again between the
palpi. He then prevented the palpi
from touching the tongue, which also
stopped the sound, and when only one
was permitted to touch it, the sound was
more feeble.
