Motherless Little Ones.

A poor widow woman named Mrs.
Fox died suddenly of cholera morbus,
in O'Neal's Alley, Saturday. She had
just gone there to live, with her four
children, whom she had been nursing
with smallpox in the pest house. There
were three little girls and boy. On
Sunday an express wagon called at the
house, the corpse of the poor woman
was put into it and hauled off out of the
alley down the levee and up Fourth
Street, away to the paupers' graveyard
to be buried. 1t was most pitiful
sight, indeed, to see three little girls
and little boy following after tn at
rude hearse containing the corpse of
the mother. Their little eyes nearly
blinded with tears, their heart-broken
sobs coming from their quivering lips,
their cries to the driver to "Stop! bring
back my mother!" and the driver
rushing his horse to get away from the
poor little motherless orphans,
and they running along after it with
fearful eyes and outstretched hands,
was scene that would have made
angels weep. Finally the wagon turned
the corner of Fourth and Main Streets !;
the little ones broke down, and they re-
turned scattered band of little wan
derers, weeping and wailing over the
loss of their poor mother, whom they
should never see again. Many a stout
hearted man turned away from the
scene and wiped great tears from his
eyes, as the cries of the poor little
orphans, running after the wagon in the
street, crying, "My poor mother!"
rang in his ears. In city full of
churches, in community where Chris
tianity is supposed to dwell, it was a
sight that will never be forgotten in the
memories of all who witnessed it

The Girl Who Loved Jesus.

There is such a thing as being too
Pious, or making an exhibition of piety
under circumstances which may give a
strong color of the ridiculous to that
holy sentiment. AS for instance: At
= social gathering of young people a
few nights ago, a game was in progress
in which was included the selling of
"pawns" and the assigning, to the
owners, of certain &c tasks'' for the re-
demption of the articles thus disposed
of. You know what we mean. If not,
we should advise you to at once get
some young folks, assorted sexes, and
learn the game. It'll do you good.
Among the party on this occasion was
girl who had not mingled much in
society. In fact, this was her first night
out. She was gawky, shrill-voiced, re-
firing, and terribly religious. She took
part in the games, but was all the
while in an awful strain lest she should
commit some breach of social propri-
ETY., or offend her Maker by an unseem-
ly exhibition of levity. Finally, to re-
deem an article that had got in pawn,
she was ordered to go out into the mid
die of the room and tell who she loved
best. Like an ostrich on its native
sands, she stalked forth. Clasping her
hands like child at its evening prayers,
she cast her eyes toward the ceiling,
and as each young fellow in the room
bent forward, expectingto hear his own
name called, she screeched:
81 love my Jesus! "-BrunsUick

schenclk,s Sea Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and fire.
quent preparations reduce bodily energy particu-
larly those suffering from the effects of facilitating
diseases In order to keep natural healthful activ
ity of the system must resort to artificial
means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very efectual. A few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many emf
nent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic, in its nature IL totally different from
such drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; in fact it assists the regular operations Of
nature and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in
ifs nature much resembles the gastric juice that
i: IS almost identical with that fluid The gastric
juice IS the natural solvent which, in a healthy
condition o: the body, causes the food to be d.
gested; and when this juice is not excreted in suf
ficent quantities. indigcstio with all its distress
ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic per-
forms the duty of the gastric juice when the latter
is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by
all Druggists.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

PINEAPPLE JAM.-This is made by
grating the pineapple, and using equal
parts of sugar and cooking slowly for
one hour.
CURRANT WINE.-Bruise the currants
and strain off the juice, to quart of
which add quarts of water, 81 pounds
of sugar. This makes 1 gallon of wine.
Let it stand open days, then close up
tightly. 1t few months it will be
ready to bottle.
SPICED CURRANTs.- quarts ripe
currants, 81 pounds brown sugar, 1
pint vinegar, 1 spoonful ground cloves,
1 of ground cinnamon, half grated
nutmeg. Boil all these together hour,
stirring often. This is most delicious,
served with mutton or venison.
CURRANT BRANDY.--To every gallon
of juice add quarts of deodorized pure
spirits and pounds of sugar. Cover
loosely. Let it stand three months,
then strain through fine linen, and cork
tightly. All fruit brandies are made in
the same way. French brandy can be
used instead of spirits, if preferred.
PRESERVED PINEAPPLE.-Pare, slice
and cut into triangles about an inch in
size the fruit. Weigh it and sprinkle
through it as many pounds of sugar as
you have of fruit. Let this stand over
night in the porcelain preserving kettle.
In the morning put upon the fire and
heat slowly and boil gently till the pine
apple looks clear. Not drop of water
should be added. This is a very rich,
delicious preserve, and easily made.
The jar should be kept closely covered
in cool place, and the fruit will be
found as good in two years as at first.

The general aspect of Maya architec-
ture is not wanting in grace, and in the
sculpture of this people the human
figure is represented in just proportions.
Yucatan has been termed the Egypt of
the New World, and there is no reason
to doubt that the same degree of in
genuity and of severe consecutive study,
which since the beginning of the CEN
fury has been directed to the Nile val
ley, might unravel most of the mys-
teries which still enshroud American
archaeology.
The congress of Americanistes at Nan
cy seems to have been controlled by
strictly scientific spirit. The well
known theories of Phenician, of Nor
wegian, and of Chinese colonization,
were touched upon, but it was recog-
nized that all discussions respecting the
genesis of our native civilizations must
be postponed until a more thorough
collation. and analysis have been
brought to bear upon the extant monu-
ments and records. Comprehensive
and critical exploration, such as Bay
ard applied to Nineveh, is seen to be
indispensable, and this must be supple
mented by a mastery of the Aztec Ian
guage and of the hieroglyphics inscrib-
ed on the structures of Uxmal and Pa
lenque. Such task can present no in
superable difficulties in an age
which has witnessed the deci-
phering of the Egyptian picture
writing, of the cuneiform characters,
and of the Eugubine tables. We must
acknowledge, however, that our own
psychologists have shown themselves
unequal to the work, and we congratu-
late ourselves on the prospect that it will
at last be undertaken by competent and
experienced hands.-NeD York Sun.

A Mathematical Prodigy.

The Warrensburg CMo.) Democrat
says: A great deal has been said and
written about the great mathematical
prodigy. sReub'' Fields, who lives at
Fayetteville, in this county, and the
more that is known of him the greater
wonder he becomes. He does not pos
sess the simplest rudiments of a book
education-does not know 81 letter or
figure from sight-and yet he can solve
the most intricate problem in an in
slant, or can perform calculation in
less than minute that would require
the work of an hour by the ordinary
modes. For instance: We gave him
the day of the month and year of our
birth, and he told, in less than half
minute, our age in seconds, minutes,
days and years. Give him the day of
the month and the year of any event,
however, remote, and he will instantly
give the day ofthe a0eek.
We spent two hours with him last
Saturday, and Notwithstanding we have
often talked with him and seen him dis
play his wonderful gifts, yet we always
find something new in him.
We placed column of figures upon
paper, equal in length to the columns
of an ordinary sized ledger, and called
them off to him in rapid succession,
and when the last number was called
he gave the sum without moments
hesitation. He did not see the paper,
and would not have known a character
on it if he had. One hour later he re-
peated those numbers in the exact Or
der in which we called them to him.
We then began at the bottom, and
would call two or three numbers cor
rectly, and then one incorrectly, and he
would correct us by giving the proper
number.
More mysterious than this to US, is
the fact of his ability to give correctly
the time of the day or night, whenever
called upon, without any reference
whatever to a timepiece.
In this town the timepieces are all
regulated by railroad, or St. Louis time.
If you ask "Reub' the time, he will
say: 81 am 154 minutes past one; if
you have railroad time you have SO and
so," giving the exact difference between
san time and railroad time.
Another remarkable fact is, that he
gives the exact time of his locality. If
he is in Washington City he gives
Washington City time; if in San Fran
cisco, the time there. He can not pos
sibly do these things by any method of
calculating the passing time, for he will
give the time as accurately when walked
from sleep at night as if it were day
light and the sun shining.
There seems to be nothing too great
in numbers for his mind to grasp, and
yet, nothing too small. He can tell
what the interest of one cent would be
for three seconds at the rate of ten per
cent. per annum, as readily and as cas-
ily as we could tell the interest on one
dollar for one year at the same rate per
cent.
He is indeed the wonder of wonders.
