A PATENT MUSTARD PLASTER
Everybody must feel more at ease
now since the a6I ent of patent mus
tard plaster. They are clean. compact
and can be carried in the vest pocket
and slapped on ut any moment. This
invention will work a revolution in So
ciety. 1t can't be helped. Now. for
instance, the writer does not 90 to pic
MICS. They are enjoyable, but he was
afraid he would appear to be ostenta-
tious if he went with a quars of mus,
tard in one hand and roll of muslin
under his arm, and it would hardly do
to go unprepared for an emei gencv -.
There is no trouble now Everybody
can go to picnics, calmbaks, and
church festivals with impunitv. IT
will take but minute to step back of
tree, pull up your vest, slap on the
plaster, and, pain is harnessed at ones
command. The saddening reflection
is that forty years after the death of
the inventor his grave will be over
grown by weeds. with no stone to
mark his resting place. This will be
apt to cause trouble.

A Curious CALCULATi oN.-A rapid
penman can write thirty words in a
minute. To do this he must draw Ii 5
Quill through the space of rod-six-
teen feet and a half. In forty minutes
his pen travels furlOng and in five
hours and third, mile. Wemake,
on an average, sixteen curves or turns
of the pen in writing each word
Writing thirty words in minute, we
must make four hundred and eighty
eirht so each second; III an hour,
twentv-eight thousand eight hundred;
in n dav of only five hours, one hun
dred and forty-four thousand; and in
n wear of three hundred days, forty
three millions two hundred thousand.
The man who made million strokes
with pen in month was not ut all
remarkable Many men make four
million. Here we have, in the aggre-
gate. a mark three hundred miles long,
to be traced on paper by each writer
in a wear. In making each letter OF
the ordinary alphabet, we must make
from three to seven strokes of the pen
ON an average, three and half to
four.

Blondel, who has been able to exam
inc many rare collections, states that
it came from the East, where it is
always accompanied by hyfiap and
parasol The former is maze Of a tail
of Thibetan buffalo, white as snow, and
of which the extremity in n Tut OF
hair, i'll the form of plume. Fans of
feathers, recently In fashion, date
from the seventh century They were
first used in China. where the Emperor
koa Tyson9, having heard the cry Of
the pheasant, supposed to be an auspi-
cious sign, ordered a fan to be made
shaped like the tail OF that bird Ac-
cOrding to the author of the "Etudes
Asiatiques," A that article had more
than one singular use; on il the rich
deposited the aims which they gave to
the poor, the great received on it the
delieacies offered to them; it was low

and it served to cool them from the

A GENTLEMAN residing in New
York sends to the New York EUen-
ing Post the following, which is q
report of a conversation with an AL
albanian, who seems to be particu-
larry "solid" Southerner.
The gentleman said to me: The
purpose of the South is to get poses
sion of the Government through the
aid of the Democratic party. This
done, they will have the power in
their own hands to reimburse them.
selves for all their losses, and if the
North refuses to pay it will be re-
bellious, and the South, having the
Government, will use it's power to
compel the Northern rebels into SUBJ
lection. We intend to have pay for
our cotton, cotton taxes, our bonds,
and all our losses; not by force of
arms, but by legislation, and the re-
inslaving of the negro is certain
event. We have the power (politi
cally) now in our own State, and we
intend to keep it. If the negroes
are fools enough to vote or attempt
it, they will easily be made to see
that it will be for their interest to
keep away from the polls, by one
method or another. This is our plan.
