One hundred years ago not pound
of coal or cubic, foot Of Illuminating
gas had been burned in the country.
No iron stoves were used, and no con-
trlvances for economizing heat were
employed until DR.. Franklin invented
the iron framed fireplace which still
bears bis name. All the cooking and
warming in town and country were
done by the aid of fire kindled upon
the brick hearth or the brick oven.
Pine knots or tallow candles furnished
the light for the long winter nights,
and sanded floors supplied the place
of rugs and carpets. The water used
for household purposes was drawn
from deep well, by the creaking
sweep"
No form of pump was used in this
country, SO far as we can learn, until
alter the commencement of the pres
ent century. There were mo friction
matches in those early days, rby the
aid OF which fire could be speedily
kindled; and if the fire "went OUT up-
on the hearth over night, and the tim
Der was damp SO that the spark would
not catch, the alternative remained of
wading through the snow mile or
SO, to borrow brand of neighbor.
Only one room in any house was
warm unless some of the family was
i'll; in all the rest the temperature
was at zero during many nights in the
winter. The men and women of a
hundred years ago undressed and
went to their beds in temperature
colder than that of our modern barns
and wood sheds, and they never com
planned.

WHEN Garrick was in Paris, Pre-
vile, the celebrated French actor, in.
vited him to his villa. and, being in a
good humor, he proposed to go in one
of the hired coaches that piled regu-
larly between Paris and Versailles, on
which road Preville's villa was situa-
ted. When they got in, Garrick or
|dered the coachman to drive on, but
the coachman answered that he could
not until he got bis complement of
four passengers. A caprice immedi-
ately seized Garrick. He determined
to give his brother player specimen
of his art. While the coachman was
evidently looking out for passengers,
Garrick slipped ont at the opposite
door, went round the coach, and, by
his wonderful command of facial ex,
preston, palmed himself off on the
coachman as stranger. This he did
twice, and was admitted each time as
a fresh passenger to the establishment
and admiration of Preville. Garrick
slipped out third time, and addressed
the coachman, who said, in . surly
tone, that he "got his complement

MISCELLANY Y.
An AnecdOte of Poe.

While the late Mr.. John z. 1homp-
I son was conducting the Southern Liter
ary Messenger, Poe was a regular visitor
/ to the editorial sanctum, or, rather, he
/ was an exceedingly irregular dropper-in,
/ his normal condition being, so TO speak,
always abnormal, if Judged 10y the ordi-
nary human standard. Generally, nn
der the combined influence Of poetical
frenzy and of strong alcoholic @timulant,
he was likewise celebrated for perpet-
ual impecuniosity.
One day. entering Thompson's room,
Poe requested a small loan, saying that
he had received a sudden call to Phila-
delphia, and was out Of funds. "WOnld
Mr.. Thompson nblige him with five dol
lars?" The editor of the Messenger, ac-
customed to Poe's peculiar ways, met
the demand with easy grace and open
hand, for which he was noted, and Poe,
bowling his thanks, retreated toward the
door, but pausing at the threshold, he
carelessly flung to Thompson a small bit
of writing, with the remark: by the
way, Thompson. there is a small thing |
knocked off last night; it's not much,
but you've been very kind to me, and
perhaps you can make room for it some
where in the magazine" Saying which
he turned and left.
Thompson opened the paper and found
the manuscript of "Annabel Lee," one
of the most charming of love songs. 1t
appeared in the next number of the
Southern Liteary ine.-[ Letter to

The Real Washington.

The Richmond tVirginia) Whig says:
This Centennial year Is likely to be in
troduced TO the trne George Washing
ton. Through combined misinforma-
tion, and deliberate art and artifice the
moonfaced old granny painted by Stuart
has come to be accepted by the whole
civilized world, America included, as
the only faithful likeness of the Faith
er of his country" Every body is
familiar with that venerable counterfeit,
and it will be hard for many to turn its
face to the wall and put another, al
though truer portrait above it. But
the truth must prevail, and to this end
Col. Sherwin McRae will, at an early
day, publish paper to show that Stuart
now in the Capitol of Virginia, is the
only true representation of Washington
as he lived Much stress has been laid
on a paragraph in one of Gouverneur
Morris, letters from Paris, which has
been construed into meaning that Nor
ris stood to Houdon as his model for
the statue; but Colonel McRae will
show that Houdon not only had taken
molds or casts of Washington's face, if
not of his whole person, but had actual
ly completed the statue before Morris
arrived in Paris. The paper will not
only be interesting, but important, and
will be anxiously awaited by all who de-
sire TO know the great American as he
appeared to his contemporaries.

Cooking by Cold.

1t is n curious fact, not generally
known, that the action of intense cold on
organic substances is similar to that of a
high degree of heat, and that, when
subjected to a very low temperature,
meat can be brought to a condition sim
liar to its state when cooked by actual
warmth. Quite recently a Hungarian
chemist, DIR. Won Sawiczew-ky. who, it
appears, has Investigated all the various
ways suggested for preserving meat (by
chemicals, cooking by heat and hermeti
cally sealing, etc. }, and has found PORTS
of objection to all, has attempted the
preparation of the material by subject
ing it in a perfectly fresh state to a tenn
perature of 80 deg. below zero, Fab,
and sealing it afterwards in Tins. The re
suits obtained have been highly salts

it is entirely without the taste of meat
which has been partially subjected to
any heating process, and may be roasted,

if it were fresh. A commission appoint
ed by the German government has late

Avarice and Long Life.

The passion called avaricp, according
to my experience, tends to the preserva-
tion or the body rathef than to its de-
terioratiOn. The avaricinHs man, who
seems to the luxurious world to be de-
barring himself of all the pleasures Of
the world, and even to be exposing him
self to the fangs Of poverty. is generally
placing himself in the precise conhi-
tions favorable TO a long and healthy.
existence. By his economy he j. saving
himself from all the worry incident to
himself from all the risks incident to
speculation or the attempt to amass
wealth by hazardous means; by his reg.
ularity Of hours and perfect appropria-
tion of the sunlight, in preference to ar
tificial illumination. he rests and works
in periods that precisely accord with the
periodicity Of nature; by his absiemi.
business in living he takes just enough to
live, which is precisely the right thing
to do according to the rigid natural law.
Thus, in almost every particular. he
goes on his way freer than other men
from the external causes of all the in
duced diseases, and better protected than
most men from the worst consequences
Of those diseases which spring from
causes that are uncontrollable.-[D DR..

The Rose Of Sharon.

The rose of Sharon is one of the most
exquisite flowers in shape and hue. Its
blossoms are bell-shaped, and of many
mingled hnes and dyes. But its history
is legendary and romantic in the highest
degree. In the East, throughout Syria,
Judea, and Arabia, it is regarded with
the profoundest reverence The leaves

of blossom is over, and the stalk with

fresh root and springs TO life and beauty
again. For this very reason the Orient

resurrection. The dried flower is placed

men in labor, by the Judeans, and if it

pher Ellery was the chairman of the

Ellery, then yonng girl of sixteen or
seventeen. who subsequently married
Samnel Vernon. an eminent Newport

and could not speak above whisper.
General Washington observing this en-
barrassment of his youthful hostess,
said to her. Miss Ellery, you seem to
be suffering very much; what is the mat
ter?" Miss Ellery told him the cause
of her trouble, upon which the General
