How to SOOthe the Baby.

Because am old and bachelor, it is
q signal for all the mothers to hustle
t).eir babies out of sight the minute I
come in. Old bachelors are so proverbi-
ally stigmatized as baby-haters they
cannot imagine there may be an excep-
ton. Now 1 own to being an exception.
I have handled half score of nephews
and nieces on my knee, and l could
teach many a mother thing or two
about managing them, so as to secure
peace and comfort for both parties. For
instance, baby at our house to-day
cried and screamed by the hour. L
heard the mother say that che was awake
all night with it because of its crossness;
and to day one and another tumbled and
tossed 1T in order to quiet it, until 1 was
sure its poor little sides were sore.
"Now, Martha Jane" said, "just
hear to me a minute, and throw away
your peppermint and stuff. Undress
that child; its clothes are all in bunch
about it. How would you feel with
your clothing in that styles Then
wiring soft towel out of very warm
water, and wrap it smoothly about its
whole body just under it's arms. Then
quickly wrap uIbie WOODEN DlanKet
about that, put on it's nightgown, and
soothe it a minute, and it will drop into
the sweetest sleep ever baby had"
Martha did not more than half believe
me, but was so worn out that she tried
it. She laid the poor, tired little thing
down on some soft pillows in his little
carriage, after she had packed him, and
in few minutes, by gently rolling him
back and forth, he sunk into peaceful
slumber.
If you'll believe it, that woman only
said in a stage whisper to Amaryllis
"Who would have expected an old bache
lor to know 80 much about babies9"
That's all the thanks / get. But the
baby would thank me if it knew. II
was pay enough to see it SO comfortable
however. This simple treatment viii
relieve suffering child in nine cases
out of ten. Any difficulty of the bowels
or lungs will be the better for goot
warm pack, and it is remedy always a
hand, and one that costs nothing. Tn,
matter of the flannel blanket, however
! is highly important. So, too, is it q ne
cessity that the towel be smoothly rolled
round the body.

The Fatal Thirteen.

There are silly stories in the papers
about the superstitious notions of the
late A. L. Stewart, and his belief in signs
and omens, lucky days, places, persons,
events, etc. But it is curious thing, as
well as true one, related of the so-called
superstitions, or whatever they may be
called, which seemed to hnger in his
mind, that, at the very last of the usual
Sunday dinner parties given in his house
before his death, there were the unlucky
number of thirteen persons present at
the table. He had always previously
avoided that number. 1t is also curl
Gus fact that, on this occasion, the un-
lucky omen was noticed by ono of the
thirteen guests, who said TO another of
them that there would be death in the
house. In eight days afterward the mas
ter of the house lay dead in chamber
not far from the dining-room. Med

Newspaper Veracity.

Some people have an idea that news
papers will lie. Others are so wise that
they will only believe newspaper report
when they think it would be easier for
the paper to tell the truth than to tell a
lie. Others think it the evidence of
flashing wit to reject with derisive
laugh any evidence for authority which
comes from "the papers. To such an
extent has this thoughtless Judgment of
the press been carried that much of it's
sphere of usefulness has been circum-
scribed. 1t is true there must be some
occasion for this widespread impression
=" there must be some fire where there
is so much smoke )" yet how many men
can show record for correctness, acu-
racy, and truthfulness that will at once
compare with the average newspaper 2

Animal Messmafes.

The messmate is one that takes his
place at his neighbours table to partake
with him of the product of the days
toll. He does not live directly at the
expense of his host, but, abiding with
him, obtains thereby better opportuni-
ties for securing supply of food. This
mode OF getting living is very COM
mon, and curious thing about it is that
ANIMALS comparatively high in the scale
OF organization do not scruple to quarter
themselves upon others of much inferior

as hreasfer, lives in this relation. He

The OREGON Matter,

It transpires that the reason Cronin did
not present his set of electoral votes to
Vice President Ferry was because Tilden
told him not to. The Democrats discovered
that public opinion did not sustain Cover
nor Growers and Cronin's action, and the
more respectable element of the party in
Congress declined to defend such an out
rage. Senator Morton's investig alton also
bids fair to heap so much odium upon it
that Tilden could not accept of the vote, 90
it was decided that Cronin's package, which
contains the Governors certificates, should
not be presented at all, but that the Repub-
lican electors be allowed to present their
votes, whc1 are not officially certified to,
as the constitution requires, and must, the
Democrats claim, necessarily therefore be
thrown out, on the ground of informality.
This plan, the Democrats think, will de-
stroy three Republicans votes instead of
one, and thus be an improvement on the
original scheme. The Republicans hold
that Mr.. MOrtOn's investigation, showing
the spirit and manner OF the transaction,
will anticipate any action, as the joint con-
vention and the Senate will, under the cir.
cumstances, as shown in the report the
committee will make, be justified in disre-
gardiDg the technical infurmality; but the
new scheme will only compicate mattera-
