s@A A correspondent of the Springfield Re-
publican writes from Charleston "Dr. Shep'
ard pointed out to me the position of Gen:
Gilmore's "swamp angel" battery, and said
that only the other day his workmen dug up
one of the unexploded shots in the Medical
College yard. 1t was rather large for war
souvenir, and about as dangerous as rattle
snake The cap was perfect, all ready for
the light tap that would explode it. No soak,
ing would ruin the powder filling. and so af:
ter looking it over, he had it carefully and
deeply reburied, he hopes, beyond resurrec,

them, and thought he would break it up and
sell it for old iron. He got sledge hammer
and struck it on the point 1t exploded, blew
the roof of the house of, and dealt destruction
in every direction but, strangely, sambo was
not injured beyond being stunned BY the con

around, and exclaimed, "Lordy massy, whar's

SOFT HATs.-The soft hat business has
grown to enormous proportions in this coun-
try. There are in Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York, manufactures which, it run
at their full capacity, would easily make in
two months all the soft hats that this country
would demand in six months. There are in
Yonkers one factory capable of turning out
one thousand dozen hats per day. About
New York are several manufactures, in each
of which three hundred dozen hats per day
can be made. 1t is estimated by the best au-
tn critics that the factories in the several
Eastern States have capacity for making
twenty-five hundred dozen of wool hats each
working day, which would amount in total,
in the working time of month, to the enor-
nous number of fourteen million two hun.
dred thousand. We send great quantities of
these abroad, our hats being recognized in Eu-
rope as the best in materials and most artistic
in style and finish that are made. We also
supply hats for South America and Mexico.

ANT1DoTE FOR PoIsoN.-Ifa person swal-
lows any poison whatever, says the Forest and
Stream, or has fallen into convulsions from
having overloaded the stomach, an instanta-
neous remedy, more efficient and applicable,
in large number of cases, than half:a-dozen
medicines we can now think Of, is a heaping
spoonful of common salt and as much good
mustard, stirring rapidly in a ateacupful of
water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly.
1t is scarcely down before it begins to come
up, bringing with it the remaining contents of
the stomach; and lest there be any remnant
of poison, however small, let the white of an
egg, or teacupful Of strong coffee, be swal'
lowed as soon as the stomach is quiet; be-
cause these very common articles nullify a
larger amount of virulent poisons than any
medicine.

PARAsoLs THIRTY FEET IN CIRcUMFER'
ENcE.-Umbrellas or rather parasols, are
the badges of royalty in Africa. King Cof
fees umbrella was one of the most noted tro'
phies taken by the English in the Abyssinia:n
war. This, however, was shabby affair in
comparison with the handsome and gigantic
sun-shades just manufactured to the number
of forty by Glasgow firm. They have been
ordered by mercantile house in the same
city, and are intended to be given as presents
to African chiefs with whom the merchants in
question do business. Three of these parasols,
or palanquins as they are also called, are
about thirty feet in circumference, and the
remainder about eighteen feet. They are
covered with rich variegated damask silk
fringed round the edges, ornamented with a
gilt ball at the top, and lined with finished
Cloth. The handle, which is of lancewood, is
armed with spike for tenting purposes, and
bayonet joint on one end Of the stick renders
the whole more portable.

A WIDOW WITH Six CHILDREN.-A cler-
gyman, a widower, residing in one of our Yer
mont rural towns, recently created first
class sensation in his household, which consists
ofseveral grown.up daughters. The reverend
gentleman was absent from home for num-
ber of days, visiting in an adjoining town.
The daughters received letter from their
father, which stated he had married widow
with six sprightly Children and that he
might be expected home at certain time.
The effect of that news was great shock to
the happy family. The girls, noted for their
meekness and amiable temperaments, seemed
another set of beings; there was weeping and
wailing and tearing of hair, and all manner
of naughty things said. The tidy home was
neglected, and when the day Of arrival came,
the house was any thing but inviting. At
last the Rev. Mr.. - came, but he was alone.
He greeted his daughters as usual, aud as ne
viewed the neglected parlors there was mer-
~ twinkle in his eye. The daughters were
nervous and evidently anxious. At last the
eldest mustered courage, and asked:
"Where is mother?"
"In heaven" says the good man.
"But where is the widow with six children,
which you wrote you had married2"
"Why, married her to- another man, my
dears."
It is said to have been amusing to see those
seven girls set things to right.

SOUTHERN D1Er.-Dr. H. V. Red6eld,
who has been travelling through the South,
says: "a physician in North Alabama, hav:
ing large practice in the rural districts, and
of necessity stopping among his patients, tells
me that nineteen out Of twenty of the meals
he sits down to are of fried meat and hot
bread. Yet dyspepsia does not follow to the
extent one would suppose. He thinks they
escape disease which such diet would seem
to invite, by the outdoor life they lead. This
physician says dyspepsia would be an un'
known disease in the Southern States if it
were not for hot bread and the frying pan.
Army life, during the late war, cured more
dyspeptics than bullets killed. [ asked this
physician why it was that in the Eastern
States, where hot bread as a steady diet is al
most unknown, dyspepsia was even more prev:
alent than in the Southern States. He said
that it was pie and cake which played the mis-,
chief in that quarter. Pie and ca ke worked
the same injury to the stomacbs of the East
ern people, that hot bread and the frying pan
did for the Southerners. If anything, it was
worse. He thought he would rather risk his
digestion on Southern biscuit than New Eng:
land pie. The pie was the greater curse, and
annually killed more people by slowly break
ing down their digestive powers"

even in Christian lands there are only few
that will be saved Perhaps more than one.
half of those in Christian lands are practical
ly rejecting the Lamb Of God that takes
away the sin of the world. Like one of old,
they care nothing for the gospel. Whilst they
may not be grossly wicked, still they are
wholly destitute of piety. They claim to be
Christians on no other ground than that they
were born and live in Christian land. As
we'll might they claim to be astronomers or
poets, because they were born and live in a
land in which there are astronomers and po-
cts. No doubt, some non-professors will be
saved. Every good man can not but hope
80; but it is only hope. 1t certainly would
be difficult thing to find pious believer in
Jesus Christ non-professor. In the Church
there are approximations who are decei0ing
others-and there are those who are deceiv-
ing themselves. Again there are many in
the church who are there from the force of
circumstances They have made a profession
of religion just because it was in harmony
with the manners and customs of the COM
munity in which they happened to reside.
There is another class of professed Christians.
We mean those who connect themselves with
the church and still live in the constant prac'
tice of the most fragrant crimes. Take all
this chaf away from the heap, and does it
not seem that there would be but little wheat
left9
A serious consideration of this subject
should startle every one ofus. There will be
vast multitude saved by the blood of Jesus
Christ; but are there vast multitude now,
or at any particular time, on the road to
heaven2 The question each of us should
ask, is, cam on the road to heaven3 Am l
a child of Coda follower of the Lamb? ?"
