DesOlate Travelling in Spain.

A correspondent of the London Times
travelling through the Spanish Province
of Murcia is struck by the loneliness of
the journey, and the absence of life and
animation scarcely equaled in any other
part of Europe. He says.
Another matter that would strike the
stranger and cause a moments uneasi-
ness might be the fact that two Civil
Guards, fully armed, accompany the
coach, their rife-muzzles protruding out
of the windows of the berlina, which
seat they occupy, giving an idea at once
of insecurity and security. This road
was once notorious for its bands of rob-
bers; hardly week passed without the
coach being stopped and robbed; but
now relays of Civil Guards posted along
the roads have effectually cleared the dis
tance of such pests. On an English high
way, again, one meets many a well-Or-
dered gentleman's carriage, and sees
many an outlaying house sleeping in its
quiet belt of trees; but on these roads, OF
Outlaying houses there are scarcely any,
save in the immediate suburbs of town,
and of carriage travelling there is mar
velously small amount. Indeed, with all
classes, travelling is the exception and not
the rule. Hundreds of the poorer classes
have never even visited the nearest town
or city. The thinness Of the population
also presents another feature in these
parts, as do the gaudy and ever-pictur-
esque costumes of the women, contrasting
with the snowy garments of their mates,
as they work in the gardens.

approved on the 18th day of March last,
which resolution is as follOws
"Be 10 resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives OF tie United States of America,
in Congress assembled, That it be and is
hereby recommended by the Senate and
House Of Representatives to the people of
the several States that they assemble in
their several counties, or towns, in the app
preaching Centennial anniversary of our
National independence, and that they
cause to have delivered on such day an his
torical sketch of said county or town, from
its formation, and that a copy of said sketch
may be filed in print or manuscript in the
Clerks Office of said county, and an
additional copy in print or manuscript be
filed in the office of the Librarian of Con-
gress to the intent that a complete record
may thus be obtained of the progress of our
institutions during the first centennial Of
our existence;" and
WHEREAS, It is deemed proper that
such recommendation be brought to the no.
tice and knowledge of the people of the
United States, now, therefore, /, Ulysses s.
Grant, President of the United States, do
hereby declare and make known the same,
in the hope that the object of such resolu.
ton may meet the approval of the people OF

The Harem.

Exaggerated notions are current about
harems and harem receptions, notions
born partly of the seclusion of the female
portion of the household in the East.
Of course the majority of harems in
Egypt are simply the apartment of the
one wife and her children. The lady who
enters enc of them pays an ordinary call,
and finds no mystery whatever. Ifthere
is more than one wife, a privileged visitor,
able to converse with the inmates, might
find some skeletons behind the screened
windows. IL is also true that foreign
lady may enter one of the royal harems
and be received with scarcely more cere-
mony than would attend an ordinary
call at home. The receptions at which
there is great display, at which crowds
of beautiful or ugly slaves line the apart
ments, at which there is music and
dancing by almehs, an endless service of
sweets and pipes and coffee, and dozen
changes of dress by the hostess during
the ceremony, are not frequent, are for
some special occasion, the celebration of
a marriage, or the entertainment of a
visitor of high rank. One who expects
upon a royal invitation to the harem to
wander into the populous dovecote of
the Khedive, where languish the beauties
of Asia, the sisters from the Gardens of
Gul, pining for new robe of the mode
from Paris, will be most cruelty disap-
pointed Chas, Dudley Warner in "Nun.
neries and Mostens."

SCoRcHEs made by overheated Hatirons
can be removed from linen by spreading
over the cloth a paste made of the juice
pressed from two onions, one-half ounce
white soap, two ounces fuller's earth,
and one-half pint vinegar. Mix, boil
well, and cool before using.
In papering walls, be sure to remove
all the old paper and paste, and scrape
them perfectly smooth. Dampen the
old paper with cloths wet in saleratus
water, and it will come off easily; fill up
the cracks with plaster of Paris, and il
there are any traces of bugs, wash the
wall all over with a weak solution OF
carboiic acid and water this will purify
the wall and destroy all mold and YER
min. The best paste is made out of rye
-four, with two ounces of glue addedN to
each quart of paste half an ounce will
make the paste better. People do not
understand how dangerous it is to paste
new paper over old paper and paste.
Many deaths have ensued from this
cause; the air of many sleeping rooms
have been thus poisoned. In some old
houses several layers of paper have
been found upon the walls of rooms and
their inmates have died and none could
tell whence came the disease.

Where is Your SchOOl.HOuse 4?

One more influence, which is of more
importance than most trustees of educa-
tional institutions seem to suppose, in
making the school pleasant place, and
I shall have done for the present. 1t is
to have pleasant schOol-house. Give
the children school house that is habit
able and looks inhabited-a place that
in its order, neatness, comfort and judi
cious OrnamentatiOn may remind them
of home. Set your school building in
some beautiful spot, adorn it with the
appliances of art, and let both art and
nature become with you co-educators of
immortal souls. There is in our lovely
land no lack Of pleasant places in which
we may cast the lines of youthful school
life. There are such places all around
us. Yet it seems at present as much the
creed of the average school committee to
erect their buildings on some barren and
famine-stricken spot which nature had
long left out in the cold" as it is the
orthodox faith of railroad constructors to
place their depots in places where you can
not by any sort of strategic movement
see any portion of the town they are sup
posed to ornament and dignity. Why
they do so is one of the great many
things for which am utterly at loss to
accOunt-unless it is because there are
wise people still extant who believe that
safety consists in not seeing beyond your
nose, and that all duty should be COM
bined with decorous dullness, that TO
be respectable one must be duly dismal.
"For my part say nothing, lest we clash
In our opinions"
and only stop to express the charitable
hope that soon all such old fogies may
be-gathered to their grandmothers.-

man, writing about the proper way in
which to use these lamps, says: "I
would add that TO glass lamp ought ever
to be used, as Chey not only break by
blows and falling, but by unequal expan-
sion and contraction. Probably seven
eights of all the reported fires, burns and
deaths by explosion, are solely in con-
sequence of the use of glass lamps, while
/ have never heard of one from the ex-
plosion of metallic lamp. A glass lamp
should never be lighted when first
brought from cold room; wait until the
bottom of the oil fount is as warm as the
air in the room, or the rapid expansion
to the top of the fount above the oil will
cause it to crack and emit vapor, which
ignites, and an explosion" is reported.
l have seen safety burners, with a kind
of apron extending over the top of the
glass fount, so as to cause the air re-
quired to feed the flame to pass close to
the glass, tending to keep it cool, as well
also as 20 lesson the liability to breaking
by falling or blows, but do not know
where they can be obtained"

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring Is q trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constpated, and the sys-
tom to remain in disordered condition, until the
disorder has time to develop ITSELF An of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure, is old and
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache indigestion, dsorderod liver, want of ap-
petite, nausea, or feversh skin, to take, without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy harmless and decisive in its action 1t at
strikes at the root of the disease and produces
a healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from dsordered
condition of the liver IL they would take this ex
cellent medicine when they feel the first indications
of the malady. Families leaving homo fer tho sum-
months should take three four boxes of these
pills with them. They have almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient of headache In
one two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver
of surrounding bile, and will ef1ectually prevent
bilious attack. They sold by all druggists.

CATARRH is common disease-so COM
mon that snuffing, splitting and blowing OF
the nose, meet us at every turn on the street.
Your foot slips in these nasty discharges on
the sidewalk and in the public conveyance;
and its disagreeable odor, communicating the
breath of the afflicted, renders them offensive
to their associates. There is the highest
medical authority for stating that with fully
one.half II not two-thirds Of those afflicted
with Consumption of the Lungs, the disease
commences as Catarrrh in the nsse or head,
the next step being to the throat and bron-
chial tubes-lastly to the lungs How i'm
portant then to give early and prompt atten-
ton to a Catarrh! To cure this loathsome
disease correct the system by using DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which
tones il up, cleanses the blsod, and heals the
diseased glands by specific influence upon
them; and to assist, use DIR: Sage's
Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's Nasal
Douche. This is the only way to reach the
upper and back cavities where the discharge
comes from. No danger from this treatment,
and il Is pleasant to use. The two medi-
cines with instrument are sold by dealers in
medicines.
