anything like over exertion. She
frequently cannot receive half a
dozen guests without sitting

pleasant, without the slightest
traces of beauty; her teeth are quite

simplicity, never seen without her

Cincinnati Miser.

Publisher ard Proprietor.

A AeMuFAaDIe STORY OI tn Lille OF a
Cincinnati Mlser.
The Cincinnati Enquirer pub
fishes a remarkable story of the life
of Jerry Tullis, of that City, who
died few nights ago from sickness
caused by lack Of food and by self
neglect and exposure. Tullis was
worth 100000 or SO, 100000 in
real estate, bonds, ETC., most of
which he had accumulated by ex-
treme economy aud close but strict
ly honest dealings. He owned a
large amount of property in Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis;
was the heaviest landowner in But.
Ter, q wealthy county adjoining
Hamilton (0hio), and owned about
one hundred thousand acres of
land in Iowa and Missouri. He
was very peculiar in his habits,
buying his clothes only at second
band and living at cheap restau-
rants. He had been i'll for some time
before his death, but refused to en-
ploy a physician on account of ex-
pense. He was a man of fair edu-
cation, and had studied law with
Mr.. Carey, of Cincinnati, in order
to fit himself to attend to his own
business and save attorneys fees
He was very eccentric and self
denying in his habits, avoiding So
ciety, living in wretched, dirty
room in an obscure alley, or in a
log hut on one of his numerous
farms, dressing wretchedly, having
the appearance of third.rate
tramp. He was unmarried and
had few friends or relatives. He
remarked shortly before his death
that he cared little what became OF
his property, except that he hoped
those who got it would enjoy spend.

that in case of an alarm he
can find his way out, even
though the halls are filled with
smoke. Never leave a room where
there is an alarm of fire without
first securing wet towel, or, if pos
sible, a wet sponge or piece of
woolen cloth through which to
breathe. If escape by the stairs is
cut of, seek an outside window, and
stay there till help comes. Above
all things be cool and have your
wits about you. When a lady's
dress takes fire, let her fall on the
floor at once, and call for help, in
the meantime reaching for some rug
or wooden cloth with which tc
smother the flames. There is moth.
ing new in this advice. Ithas beer

The launch of the new Brazilian
steamer, Rio Janeiro, near Phila-
delphia, brought out the builder,
Mr.. Roach, in a speech.
Mr.. Roach gave history Of the
enterprise now happily begun. He
alluded to the fact that though
Brazil was our neighbor, the United
States had no direct steam commu-
nication, the carrying trade now
being in British hands. The Bra
lillian merchant had to go to Eng
land before he could come to the
United States to buy goods, and
the American Minister to Brazil
had to 60 $500 miles out of his
way to reach his post. He fonnd
that while we imported $4,000, 900
a year in goods from Brazil, Zone
third Of her entire product, we
could only send back $4,000, 900 a
year in our manufactures, and the
balance 1858, ,OOO,OOO) had to be
paid in gold. "This was the situa-
ton Of AFFAIRS" said Mr.. Roach,
when | sent a representative to
Brazil and found that the Brazilian
government were favorably dis
posed to Americans, and would
be glad to trade with US and receive
our goods if they could" Mr..
Roach then gave an interesting ac-
count of some of the obstacles he
had to overcome, and the final sue
cess of his endeavors in securing a
contract from the Brazilian govern
ment to carry its mail to and from
the United States in frst-class
steamers, and to take our manufac-
lures direct from New York. He
concluded by complimenting the
liberality of the Emperor of Brazil.

How to Act in Case of Fire.
A

hhiNAAShA
Better than all elaborate and
costly apparatus for extinguishing
fires are constant care and watch
fulness, and quick and intelligent
action on the part of those who
first discover a fire in progress. The
fro which at its beginning could be
smothered with q handkerchief, or
dashed out with a bucket of water,
neglected a few hours, lays in waste
millions of dollars worth of prop
erty. If there is any time in which
a person should be cool and calm,
in perfect command of himself, it
is when he discovers a fire that
threatens the destruction of life
and property. The first thing to do
is to learn precisely where it is; the
second, to consider the chances of
extinguishing it. Of course in cities
an alarm should at once be sent out,
but at the same time vigorous
effort should be made to put out
the fire with the means at hand;
for sometimes what the fire engine
is unable to accomplish when it
reaches the scene, can be done by
one or two persons who act prompt
ly before the flames have had time
to gain headway.
First, then, do not be alarmed on
account of smoke. Frequently
there is a great deal of smoke be-
fore the fire has made much pro-
gress. Remember that one can
pass through smoke by keeping his
he'd near the floor, or by enyelop-
ing it in a wet woolengcloth. On
entering a room to fight down a
fire gle.handed, keep the door
closed behind if possible. A pail of
water and a tin dipper, in the
bands Of a resolute person, can be
made to work miracle at the be-
ginning. II the fire has progressed
too far to admit of this course, and
it is necessary to depend entirely
on outside help, then see to it that
every door and window is closed.
BY SO doing, where there is fire.
engine in the neighborhood, it will
often be possible to con6ne the fire
to one room. Every person who
stops at a hotel should take special
pains before retiring to noto the
location Of the stairways, SO
