Somebody says that an orange
eaten every morning one-haif hour
before breakfast Will cure the cray
ing for liquors. After persevering
in the recipe and by regularity, re-
formed drunkard states that the
taste of liquor has become repulsive
to him. As the same prescription
is often given for a common disor
dered stomach, it will do no harm
for any one to try it who is striving
to get the better of his diseased ap-
Detite.

No thoughtful man can be indif-
ferent to the spectacle presented at
the gatherings, in some of the large
cities, of thousands of men willing
to work, but who have no notion
when or where it is to be had. When
men get up before assemblies of this
kind and boldly say, "If we can not
find work, let us take what we need,
it is high time the people should
begin to inquire into the cause of
this crisis, and to apply a remedy
for the evil.

A Dog Swimming Forty Miles.

Captain Bunce, of the Leonida, is the
owner of large Spitz dog, named
Jack, that was picked up in the middle
of the Sound several years ago, as he
was swimming about several miles from
land. On Tuesday the Captain left the
faithful creature on the East Neck wharf
by some mishap, and Jack, seeing the
vessel some distance out in the bay, de-
cided to follow. AS the vessel was I'M
der good Roadway, little notice was
taken of his jumping off the wharf, as
it was supposed that he wonld soon re-
turn. The vessel +. acled New York
that night. Nothing was seen of the
dog about here during the following
day, but what was the establishment of
the Captain and crew, on going up to
the deck while the vessel lay in her dock
in New York on the morning of the
second day, to find the faithful creature
at mis- post watching over the vessel in
his usual manner. He was thoroughly
exhausted by his long swim of over
forty miles, however, and could do
nothing but lie about and recruit his
strength for two or three days.-Long

THE building committee of church,
recently finished in New Jersey, wanted
stone slab over the door, with the
name of the church and Scriptural
motto. 1t occurred to them that moth
ing could be neater than ''My house
shall be called the house of prayer.
So one of the committeeman, who was
in great hurry, told the stone-cutter
to chisel on the slab the thirteenth verse
of the twenty-first chapter of Matthew.
He thought the verse ended with the
words he wanted to use. The stone
cutter took tho whole verse from the
Bible, and faithfully copied it to the
end. Imagine the horror of the COM
mitteemen when the stone was deliver
ed! 1t read: ''My house shall be call
ed the house of prayer; but We have
made it den of thieves.' The stone
cutter insisted that he had obeyed
orders. But the committeeman insisted
that the motto he had inscribed was
not what they wanted, and that it would
be of no particular use to them. That
slab is now in the stone-catter's yard,
and any body who wants it for tomb
stone can probably buy it cheap.

The Bashi-BaZOuks.

A special correspondent writing from
Widdin gives the following graphic ac-
count of detachment of the famous
Turkish Irregulars:
The Austrian Consul had the kind
ness to present me to the Civil Gov
enor of Widdin, Risad Pacha. Fortu-
nately, during our visit the detachment
tar and Circassian districts of Northern
Bulgaria marched into the wide court
of the Government House to be reviewed
by the Governor. Risad Pacha, an ex-
ceedingly courteous gentleman Of Euro
pean manners-speaking only the
mother tongue however-entered the
court and invited US to follow. AS he
approached the ranks the commander,
a huge sexagenarian, but muscular
and martial figure, in a fantastic dress
cimeter in hand, shouted in resonant,
stentorian voice, "Padisha Tshok
iosha!" defender of princes, &c),
and 400 wild Tartar and Circassian
throats echoed back with frantic roar
that shook the barrack walls" Padisha
Tshok iosha!" whereupon the standard
bearer unfurled the red ensign with the
white star and half moon high in air.
1 coHld not control my establishment as
l reviewed the corps in detail. What I
there saw was most singular-unparal-
leled of its kind-and would call up a
vision of the horrible to mind perfect
ly 6lase. Old men of sixty
with waving white boards and
bald heads, around which coiled
the esteemed green turban, the sign of
a returning pilgrim from Mecca, and
youths of 16, with men of all intermedi-
ate ages, mingled together, each in
looks, in physiognomy, in dress, in
equipment the type of an accomplished
robber and murderer, bloodthirsty
brute in human form. A variety of gar
ments, long gowns and zouave blouses,
sandals and high-top riding boots, the
fez with and without turbans, hoods of
fur, and fashions that 1 can not name.
Old muskets, fint-locks, long rifles and
short carbines, cudgels, sings, long
pixies and short axes in adventurous
pell-mell. Yes, nothing else could they
be but hordes of Tamerlane and Chen
gis Khan, for the flight of centuries has
scarcely left civilizing trace upon this
degenerate breed of men. What has
been related of the horrible barbarity
of the Tartar and Circassian Bashi-Ba-
zouks (mad-eaps or mad-brained fell
lows) in Bulgaria hold to be true since
seeing this robber- horde-all, and even
more. A portion of these foreign de-
tenders of the " fatherland" were
mounted on little bristly, unsaddled
horses; on mules and even on striped
donkeys rode the wild forms of the Cir
cassians. Some of the latter had be-
sides their weapons large white UNI
brella dangling at their backs.

How to Make Butter Hard in
Hot Weather.

An English butter-maker of large ex-
perience, who is now on visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese and butter diaries, gives us
the following information concerning a
method in practice among the best but
ter-makers of England for hardening or
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather: Carbonate of soda and
alum are used for The purpose, made
into powder. For twenty pounds of
butter one teaspoonful of carbonate of
soda and one teaspoonful of powdered
alum are mingled together at the time
of chrrning and put into the cream.
The effect of this powder is to make
the butter come firm and solid, and to
give it clean, sweet flavor. 1t does
not enter into the butter, but its action
is upon the cream, and it passes off
with the buttermilk. The ingredients
of the powder should not be mingled
together until required to be used or at
the time the cream is in the churn
ready for churning. Watcrtoacn m. ~

Relief for Burns and Scalds.

DIR. r. H. Allnatt writes: "The late
lamentable accident on board the Thun-
derer recalls to my recollection a RENE
dy for burns or scalds which was sug-
gested to me some years ago by Lord
Ebury. AS an old medical man, and
from personal observation, can vouch
for its efficacy, and in the absence of
professional assistance the application
may prove of inestimabls value. The
remedy is simply this: The common
whiting of commerce, reduced by cold
water to the consistence of thick cream,
is to be spread on light linen rag, and
the whole burnt surface instantly COW

The Indian Problem.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Instructions
to the Sioux Commission appointed I'M
der the recent act of Congress are near
ly completed. One of the most i'm
portant subjects of negotiation is that
represented by the fifth clause of the
instructions, and the President is
strongly impressed with the belief that
an agreement which shall be best cal
cnlated to enable the Indians to become
self-supporting is one which shall pro-
vide for their removal at as early a day
as possible to the Indian Territory.
They must depend for their support
mainly upon the cultivation of the soil,
and their own country is quite unfit for
that purpose. The superior climate
and soil of the Indian Territory and
the fact that that territory is forever
secured to the Indian people should
afford strong inducements for the
Indians to enter into such
agreement. The Indians can not now
live upon their reservation without the
aid of the Government, and it is under
no obligation to continue its supplies of
food. While no money considerations
should be offered them as an induce
ment for any undertaking on their part,
it is believed the Government will will
ingly furnish them subsistence, medical
assistance and schools until they can
care for themselves in case of their
removal to the Indian Territory. If,
however, they decline to agree to such
removal, they should be informed that
they will be obliged to go to the Mis-
souri, River to receive such supplies as
shall be provided under any future act
of Congress and treaties with them
now in force.
