French Household Economy.

The French butcher separates the bones from his steaks, and places them where they will do the most good. The housewife orders just enough for each person, and no more, even to the coffee. If chance visitor drops in, somebody quietly retires and the extra cup is so provided, but nothing extra by careless ness or inattention. When the pot has boiled, the handful of charcoal in the little range is extinguished, and waits for another time. No roaring cook stoves and red-hot covers all day long for no purpose but waste. The egg laid to-day costs 8 little more than the one laid last week. Values are nicely esti- mated, and the smallest surplus is care fully saved. A thousand little econo- mics are practiced, and it is respectable to practice them. Cooking is an econo- mical as we'll as sanitary and gustatory science. A French cook will make a franc go as far as an American house wife will make three, and how much further than the American servant mo- body knows-we should probably be greatly astonished, could the computa, tion be made, how much of the fnan, cial, recuperative power of France is owing to her soups and her cheap food better living, after all, than the heavy bread and greasy failures of our culinary ignorance.

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, BrOn- chitis, Consumption. A Wonderful Cure.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 18th, 1874. R. v. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.:
 Dear SiT-I had suffered from catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years and for several years from bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with nolasting bene- fit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive editorial labors on 8 paper in New York city, was attacked with bronchitis in 8 severe form suffering almost 8 total loss of voice. returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when was completely prostrated with hemorrhage from the lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days. In the September following improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in very feeble state. My bronchial trouble remained and the catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. Iseemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, '73, when became so bad as to be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. But was extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicines and doctors with disgust. However, l obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which came to the conclusion that you under stood your business at least. I finally ob- tained quantity of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Reme- dy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pel- lets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise l soon begun to improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in short time, brought out severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. felt much better, my appetite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the catarrh was gone. the bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no cough whatever, and had entirely ceased to raise blood and contrary to the expectation of some of my friends, the cure has remained permanent. have had no more hemorrhage from the lungs, and am entirely free from catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of gratitude owe for the blessing I have received at your hands, knows no bunods. I am thoroughly satisfied from my experience, that your medicines will master the worst forms of that odious disease catarrh, as well as throat and lung diseases have recommended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise.
 Gratefully yours,
 VIM. H. SPENCER.

A Blind Mans Bravery.

A hotel in Le Mars, Iowa, was burned the other night. It was small frame building, in the suburbs of the town. Some late pedestrians saw the fire three quarters of mile of, and went to it as rapidly as possible. When they got tbere everybody in the house was asleep, and in ignorance of the fact that their passage to the ground was already cut off by the flames. They alarmed the house and broke in the doors. Several people escaped with painful scorches. A family named Niermeyer, consisting of man and wife and six small children, boarded in the house. Three of the children, the oldest three and a half years, were sleeping with their father and mother. Two of them were sleep ing with MT. Niermeyer's blind brother in the house, and one was spending the night away from home. MT. Niermeyer jumped out of bed and got out of the house in delirium of fright, his blind brother, with great presence of mind and noble devotion, picked up his two little bedtellows, and taking ore under each arm, made his way to the burning stairs. The stairs fell with him in his descent, but he held fast to the children and brought them safely out of the fire. All three of them were burned, but not seriously. Mrs. Niermeyer and her threej helpless babes perished in the flames. Their remains were found all in heap among the cinders. MT. Nier- meyer IS now hopeless maniac.

An Exciting Time.

A good deal of excitement prevailed in Havana in consequence of the police having arrested about one hundred and fifty |" "Nanigos while celebrating their feast called the sacrifice. The carcass of fowl (the blood of which the "Nanigos" drink on such occasions) was found in room, and also the cross es on which the members names are drawn by lot-the one drawn to swear to kill the first person whom he encounters. The police also found an altar on which was figure of Jesus Christ, with two knives sticking in it's back, pointing out the exact spot where the " Nanigo" isto plunge the knife into his victim. The '' ''Nanigos" acknowledge belief and perform ceremonies somewhat resem- bling those of the Voudoos. They were formerly all blacks, but among the ar rested were number of whites and if teen women. A report was circulated that all the meat at slaughter house in Havana had been poisoned by negroes. The origin of the false report is un- known, but in consequence of it over three-fourths of the over credulous Ha
 vanese left their meat untouched on the breakfast table that morning. Not S single case of poisoning was reported.

MILITARY AT THE CENTENNIAL.
The Troops that are to Take Part in the Exhibition. Military Displayss

The Troops that are to Take Part in the
 ExhibitiOn--NIilitary Displays.
 What part tue military are to take in the Centennial pageant has still to be determined. It is known that the ma jority of the governors will be attended by their guards, but besides these there will be COT siderable number of citizen troops present at the opening. There will be during the progress of the Gen tennial season numerous grand parades, but it cannot be expected that many of the regiments should be present at more than one of these. And as the greatest of these occasions will occur on the fourth of July, it is probable that the greatest number of militia and volun- teers will be present then. Gen. Flaw ley has made 8 digest of all the core spondence upon the point. From this 1t appears that Alabama will send eight to ten companies from Mobile, and 8 regiment from Union Springs; Arkansas will send an entire regiment from Little Rock; Connecticut will send an entire | brigade in August; Delaware will send a regiment from Wilmington; Georgia will send from Atlanta the Governor s Guards and the Atlanta Cadets, and from Columbus the City Light Guards, and from Savannah the Volunteer Guards and the Republican Blues, all | of these being independent companies; Illinois will send from Springfield the Governors Guards and 8 regiment 1000 strong, and from Chicago 200 men of the G. A. R., 600 men of the First regi- ment Illinois State Guards, and 400 men of other regiments; Kentucky will send one company of militia and one battal- ion of artillery, also the Louisville Grays, 200 strong; Louisiana will send three companies of artillery and com pany of Centennial Guards; Maine will send two companies of infantry from | Augusta; Maryland will send one regi- ment, the crack Fifth Baltimoreans Massachusetts, sends the Governor staff and guards, and seventy five to one hun dred citizens, ineal descendants of minute men of '76, and about 5000 troops; Michigan will send cadet corps 1 for the Fourth of July; Missouri will send 200 men; New Jersey will sen1 $500 men to participate in every one of the displays; New York will send from the city five regiments, including the cracks, the Seventh, and Ninth, and the Old Guard, and a company of the Centennial legion, and from Buffalo a regiment, from Albany one, and" from Utica the Veteran Zouaves, and from other places general complement of 7,500 men; Ohio will send ,00O men of different regiments, and the Cleveland Grays; Rhode Island will send 300 men for the Fourth of July, and 200 men for the first of August; Tennessee will send Governors Guard and 1000 men; Texas will send the Galveston Artillery, with guns, caissons, and all, excepting horses, which they will borrow from Philadel phians; Vermont will send eight com panies, and Virginia will send com. pany from Charlottesville, another from Lynchburg, and another from Alexan, | dria.
