A BIue.Eyed Siren.

The facts of very singular case, de-
veloped in the southern section of the
city, are reported. 1t appears that
about six weeks ago a beautiful blue
eyed woman, about twenty-six years of
age, came to this city. She could not
speak English very well, and pretended
to be very tifnid, embarrassed, strange
and fearful lest she would come to
some harm. She boarded with a wild
ow lady, and in less than three weeks
she had thirteen young men from all
over the city anxious to gallant
her to p'cnics and boat-roging
parties. Jealousy existed among
a number of those who were in
love with her, and three severe fist
fights took place on her account. She
made it a point to borrow rings, ETC.,
and from one young lover she got a
small gold watch that cost $50 in a
store on Penn Square. From another
she got a necklace. She nearly always
dressed in white, and wore large bow
ed hat that looked like row-boat, for
the purpose of protecting her fair and
delicate skin. She managed her cards
very well, and after she had gathered
quite a crop of presents of jewelry, etc,
she suddenly departed, taking with her
all the rings, ETC., she had borrowed
Ii now turns out that she was an adven-
turess, and that she was one of the fif-
ty young women that left France for
the big show in Philadelphia, who were
determined to make all their expenses
by playing sharp tricks on the natives of
America. She paid two dollars a week
board while in this city, and helped to
wash to make matters look straight

Wonderful Freaks OF Lightning.

The Albany On. W Evening Journal
reports a remarkable circumstance
which took place in that city on Monday
morning. Martin & Kelly, the contract
ors for building a new reservoir, intend
ed to commence work on Monday morn
ing, but anticipating trouble from a
large gang of unemployed laborers, a
detachment of police was detailed TO
support the contractors in case of trou
BILE. About twelve clock a violent thun-
der-storrn- commenced. Seventeen per-
sons, thirteen of them policemen, who
had sought refuge from the violence of
the storm in q Toulouse on the site OF
the new Prospect Hill reservoir, were
Frustrated, and every man and boy COM
posing thenumber were more orless in
iured by the fluid and the shock which
accompanied it. Some were rendered
unconscious by the shock, others had
portions of their clothing torn from
their bodies, and some were paralyzed.
With so large a number of men grouped
together in such confined quarters, the
escape of all from being killed NAV be
looked upon as little short of miracle.
Among the Tools were a number of
bright steel shovels, and il is supposed
that these attracted the fluid which had
40 disastrous an effect. Sergeant
Nc Narnarar Whish and White, at the
time the fluid struck, ere sitting on
bench in the shanty, and, as 1t appears
from the accounts of those present, me

HOME INTERESTS.


GoosEBFRRY JAM.-Take gooseber-
ries that are not too ripe, pick them
over carefully, and weigh them; add
equal weight of white sugar. Place the
fruit and sugar ina deep, yellow nappy; ;
add pint of water to. every six pounds
of gooseberries. Place the happy in
moderately hot oven, coveringi il tight
ly, and let it simmer slowly for 40 min
utes then put it while boiling hot into
small jars, and seal tightly. .i.n7a''
BLACKBERRY WINE.-Measure your
berries and bruise them, to every gallon
adding quart of boiling water; let the
mixture stand "a hours, stirring occa-
sionally; then strain off the liquor into
a cask, to every gallon adding 2 pounds
of sugar; cork tight, and let stand still
till the following October, and you Will

ed under similar influence before. a..
SICK HEADACHE.-TAis distressing
complaint can generally be relieved by
soaking the. feet, in very warm water,
in which spoonful of powdered mus
tard has been stirred. Soak as long as
possible, or till the water gets cool; it
draws the blood from the head An
other quietingl remedy is to- seald sour
milk till it wheys off; make a bag of
thin muslin, and strain it off, not very
dry, and put the curd in the bag, upon
the head, as warm as it-ean be borne (;
it will relieve the pain in q few mo-
ments. Some such simple remedies
are far preferable to drugs or to
doctors prescriptions; they relieve as
quickly, and, are cheaper, as well as
more readily applied.
80 JELLIES.-Bol and mash the fruit
(currants, strawberries or raspberries)
until all the juice will run from the
pulp; then strain it through a jelly
strainer or bit of flannel, without
pressing the fruit too closely, and the
remainder can be added to other fruits
for jam. Measure the juice, and to
each pint of it. add one pound of the
best. lump sugar. Boil the juice and
skim off all the scum that rises; add
the sugar and let it boil up once, re-
moving the scum. Pour into glasses OF
| Jars, aud let it set until it becomes quite
cold and has hardened well. Di p small
pieces of white paper into pure spirits
or whisky, and cover the surface OF the
Jelly. Tie over each cup a large piece
of brown paper. fF- 81 t.." -1''-

quart of the best cider vinegar; next
day strain the liquor on a pound of fresh
ripe raspberries, bruise them also, arc

The Rebelllon OF the stomach.

The stomach obstinately rebels against all
efforts to make it digest superintendent or
indiyestible food. When fit of dyspepsia
has been brought on by eyer-indulgence in
the pleasures of the table, or any other
cause, the invalid can obtain from Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters prompter and more
complete relief than from any other source.
This admirable specific not only renders dI-
gestion active, but regulates the secretion
and distribution of the bile, re-establishes a
regular habit of body when costiveness ex-
lists, restores the appetite, sOothes and invig-
crates the nerves, and, if taken before retir-
ing. facilitates sleep. Under these happy
Conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject
regains lost flesh, his spirits recover their
elasticity, and all the various and harassing
bodily and mental symptoms OF chronic in
digestion disappear '| '''ir

WashingtOn's White Chargers.

Washington was an excellent horse
man. II is said that he could ride at a
full gallop and retain a silver dollar be-
tween each knee and the saddle, such
was the tenacious grasp of his thighs
upon the horse. He was very fond of
his horses, and likedto see them thor
ougly groomed. The manner in which
his white horses were kept white is curl
Gus. Mr.. G. w. 2. Gusts states that
the night before they were to be used
they were entirely covered with paste,
the chief ingredient of which was whit
ing, and were then completely clothed,
and left for the night to sleep on clean
straw. BY the morning this coating was
hard and dry, and it was then brushed
and curried off, leaving the hair beneath
beautifully white and glossy. After
this the hoofs were hlackened and pol
ished. To complete this curious toilet
the horses mouths were washed, and
their teeth picked and washed, when
they were considered groomed, and
were ready for work.

POOLE, the London tailor, left an
estate of f12O, 600 behind him. People
were surprised atthe size of his ''plum,"
for the tailor's habits were extravaganza,
and he must have contracted an enOr-
nous mass of bad debts. Mr.. Lewis
Jennings sends this delicious anecdOte
of him TO the New York Verid some
day he was out hunting when rather a
large party happened to be in the field.
He went up to Lord Hardwicke and

GOING INTO ApEcIIsE.

How often we hear this expression about
people who have some dis ase that few med
teal men seem to understand. Some call it
liver complaint, some kidney disease, some
dyspepsia, and others consumption. None
Of them afford relief. In the course Of the
disease the patients have the following
symptoms-A tired, weak feeling, dizziness
in the head, with a faint, all gone sensation
at the pit of the stomach, after eating feel
ing Ike heavy load on the stomach, pain
in the shoulders, sides and back at times,
scanty, high cOlOred urine ,depositinga sed-
iment after standing, skin dark and swarthy,
covered in places with brown spots, hands
and feet cold and elammy at times, at other
fines hot and burning; sometimes there
is an itching over the whole body, appetite
ehangeable, but food distresses and affords
but little nOurishment; bowels irregular,
after time a cough sets in, ut first dry, but
after awhile il is attended with expectOra-
ton, and the body begins TO waste. The
truth is that in such eases the liver, stom
ach, kidneys and blood are all diseased, and
for this combination Of diseases we must adj
minister a remedy that will act upon all of
these organs at one time. or else, while one
is being cured the others become worse.
The best article to meet such eases is the

General Custer not only lo~ed music
for its soothing influence, but he loved
it because it cheered the men and nerv-
ed them up for a bold dash or hot en-
counter. His band was probably more
exposed than any other in the service.
The proofs of this assertion are the
scars which some of the members are
carrying TO their graves. Before the
war closed every member of the band
was willing TO make oath that Clusters
hobby was band music.
