Why the Rev. DortOr Nudge Stopped
HIS pappr.

Some years ago, when the writer was
reporter, it devolyed on him to write for
the same edition an account of the pre-
sentation of gold-headed cane to Rev
erend Doctor Nudge, the clergyman of
the place, and the description of a new
hog-killing machine that had Just
been put in operation at the factory.
Now, what made the Reverend Mr..
Nudge mad was this: The inconsiderate
compositor who made up the form got
the two accounts mixed in a frightful
manner, and when it went to press,
something like this was the appalling
result: "Some of the Reverend Mudge's
friends called on him yesterday, and, af
ter brief consultation, the unsuspeet-
ing hog was seized by the hind legs and
slid along the beam until it reached the
hot water tank. His friends explained
the object of the visit, and presented
him with handsome, gold-headed
butcher, who grabbed him by the tail and
swung him round, and in less than a
minute the carcass was in the water
Therefore he came forward and said
there were times when The feelings over
powered one, and for that reason he could
hOb w hlOiC ahhh dOVCih Pb " tlltthh SAloHN
aro@nd him for the manner in which
such an animal was cut into fragments
was astonishing. The doctor concluded
his remarks, the machine seized him, and
in less time than it takes TO write it, the
hog was cut into fragments and worked
into delicious sausages. The occasion
will be remembered by the doctors
friends as one of the most delightful of
their lives. The best pieces can be OBJ
tanned for seven pence pound, and we
are sure those who sat under his min
istry will rejoice to hear that he has been
50 handsomely treated"
Mad Well, about eight o clock that
morning the Office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and he assembled to the roof, so that he
could see the clergyman tearing around
down in the street with his congrega-
ton, all wearing the panoply of war, and
carrying stout cudgels and other things.
The next day he apologized, but the
doctor stopped his paper.

CARE in feeding and housing, es.
pecially in protecting from dampness, is
very important in the case Of young
turkeys till they get full-dress suit Of
feathers. The Poultry journal says the
bronze breed is deservedly the most
popular and profitable.
CoCoANUT macaroons: To one grated
cocoanut add its weight in sugar ana
the white of one egg beaten to froth ;
stir it well, and cook it little; then
wet your hands, and mold it into small
cakes, laying them upon buttered paper.
Bake in moderate oven.
A SARATOGA citizen checkmated an
egg-eating hen by saving off about one
third of nail keg and making her nest
in the remainder; and disposed of a
robber skunk by putting grain of
strychnine in small opening in the
she'll of an egg, and covering the break
with bit of adhesive plaster.
CUsTARD: One quart of milk, four
eggs; sweeten with white sugar, little
salt; put a teaspoonful of vanilla on
the grated rind of q lemon; pour it in
cups, and set these cups in a dripping
pan which has hot water enough in it
to half cover the cup; put it in a hot
! oven, and take it out as soon as the Gus
/ tard has thickened.
A VIRGINIA hen, hitherto well-be-
/ haved and matronly, has fallen victim
to the pernicious doctrine of woman's
rights. She lately left off laying, " as
sumed all the characteristics of a rooster,
and crows and fights with vengeance"
He is also changing her feathers to cor
respond with its new condition, and in
cipient spurs are hourly expected.
A PENNSYLVANIA says he knows
that hundreds of chickens have been
saved from death by cholera by feeding

pear, forcing, if necessary, five or six of
the pills, large as medium-sized tilberts,
down the throat three or four times a
day, and Withholding all other food till
a cure is effected.
CARAMEL candy: Three pounds of
sugar, half pound of butter, one pint
of cream, one pound of Bakers choco-
late grated boil the cream, sugar and
butter together, and stir in the choco-
late last, To tell when it is done, drop
q little in cold water, and if it does not
spread, but hardens quickly, take it of
the fire; pour out thin over dishes
creased with butter, the candy to be cut
out in small pieces.

The prompt reform of tho2e bodily evils,
enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimila-
tion, inactivity of the liver, kidneys and
bladder, as well aS OF the nervous symp-
toms which these ailments are especially
prone to beget, is always accomplished by
the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
medicine accredited by physicians, pro-
nouDced pure by analysis, and eminently
wholesome and agreeable. Surely such a
restorative is preferable to unpslatable and
indigestible mineral drugs and INSANE
toned uostrums. The nation at large
assuredly thinks so, judging by the un-
precedented demand for the article from
Maine to the Pacific, a.delnahd now supple
mented by immense orders for it received
from tropical America, Mexico, the British
and Spanish Colonial possessions, and else
where. Both at home and abroad it is
recognized as standard remedy and pre-
veniive, the decisiveness of its effects
recommending it everywhere.

How the Poor are Buried in Naples


A fitting fnis to the career of the Nea-
politan poor is the method of their
burial in the Campo Santo Vecchio. In
death, as in life, they are herded to-
gether. A bare, paved space, inclosed
by wall, three hundred and sixty-fve
stones covering so many pits, of which
one is opened each day for the reception
of the dead; movable. crane, with a
metal coffin suspended by a chain. Such
is the setcscene, such the properties of
the last act of the tragedy Every even
ing, at half-past six O'Clock, enc of the
awful holes is opened, the eorpses
brought for interment are hauled with
indecent roughness from their pauper
shells; the priest sprinkles them with
holy water, and hurriedly gables the
prayer for the dead Then each in its
turn is thrown into the box attached to
the crane, the bottom of the box gives
way on the pressure of spring, and the
body crashes down to join the heap of
corruption below Laughing boys and
weeping mourners press to the pits
edge to gaze at the CHASTITY sight; the
creaking of the machine mingles with
cries of despair. A crowd of lookers-on
eagerly note the number of the dead,
their sex and age, in order to choose
lucky numbers for the lottery.

Warming up the human stove,
Cheering up the hearts you love;
And only ryndall can explain
The links between corn bread and brain.

TIE weight of an ordinary new,laid
hens egg is from one and half to two
and a half ounces avordupois, and the
quantity of dry solid matter contained
In 1T amounts to about two hundred
grains. In one hundred parts about ten
parts consist of shell, sixty of white,
and thirty of yelk. The white of the
egg contains larger proportion of
water than the yelk. 1t contains no
fatty matter, but consists chiefly of
albumen in dissolved state. All the
fatty matter of the egg is accumulated
in the yelk, which contains relatively a
smaller proportion of heterogeneous mat
ter, and larger proportion of solid
matter, than the white. Therefore, in
an alimentary point of view, the white
and the yelk differ considerably from
each other, the former being mainly
simple solution of albumen, the latter
being a solution Of modified form of
albumen, together with quantity of
fat. Raw and lightly boiled eggs are
easy of digestion. It is said that raw
eggs are more easily digested than
cooked ones; but this may be doubted
ii the egg is not overlooked. A hard
boiled egg presents a decided resistance
to the gastric solution, and has con-
stipatory action on the bowels.

Mound Builders Remains.


Any information i'll regard to the
Mound-builders, or prehistoric races,
would, no doubt, be interesting and
valuable to your readers. / therefore
send you an account of the opening of a
very beautiful and symmetrical mound on
the farm of Howard Stanbery, ESQ.,, in
Muskingum County, Ohio, beyond the
corporate limits of the city of GAINESVILLE.
1t measures in circumference at the base
about ninety feet, and fifteen feet in
height.
Two years ago Mr.. Frank Clark, a
student of Cornell University, and my
self, formerly of Kenyon College, OBJ
tanned permission from the owner of the
property on which the mound is situated
to make an opening in it. We imme-
diately began excavating at the center
point in the top of the mound. After
digging downward about three and a
half feet through rich, black soil
which had evidently been formed by
the decay of leaves and wood, the accu-
mutation OF many years-we discovered
human skeleton lying in an exceed
ing singular position. The bones of the
legs were crossed in such manner as to
permit the feet to be near the shoulders
One hand was placed near the head, and
the other by the side. We also found
near one of the hands stone Ratchet
All the bones were removed with great
care, and were found to be in rather a
good state of preservation. Large guam
titles of charcoal were intermingled
with the soil about the skeleton. One
remarkable popularity about the sub
maxillary or jaw-bone of the specimen is
that the feet are perfectly round and
very smooth on the crown or top.
We found, however, greater wonders
than this discovery to recompense
our. labors. Our spades soon came in
contact with dry bone-dust and char
coal; and from this point to the base
or bottom of the mound distance of
twelve feet, there was nothing to be found
but these substances. 1t is evident that
hundreds of bodies have been buried
here, and that this beautiful green ele-
walton of groundwas once funeral-pile
for ancient races.
IT has been said that the ex-Empress
Eugene is poor. Such is not the case.
Her large fortune is invested in English
consols, and the interest she derives
amounts to $500, 900 per annum.' Dur
ing the Emperor's lifetime, all the
honey he could scrape together was for
warded either to Poole, the tailor, or to
the Bank of England. Camden House,
Chiselhurst, is given rent free TO her ex-
Majesty by its liberal owner, and there
she lives in good style, with retinue
OF some fifty persons, and carriage and
saddle horses numbering over twenty.
