Spurious Tickets.

Democrats should look sharp, thus af-
ternoOn, for spurious Democratic tickets,
bearing the name of John ID. Carter, Re-
publican for Levy Court Commissioner
from Appoquinimink HID, instead of
James 4. Taylor, the regular Democratic
nominee.
These tickets are printed such close
imitation of the regular Democratic tick
cts, that it is hard TO distinguish the diff
ference. They were not, however, print
ed at the GAZETTE office, AZ no Demo
cratic split tickets. or Democratic tick
cts with Democratic nominee left off,
of any kind, We're printed here. Demo-
Gratis should therefore examine their
tickets carefully, and compare them with
the large posters at each voting place,
which contain the full and correct Demo
cratic State and County ticket.

The Marie Roze concert at the Grand

entertainment, as it could not help being,
conducted by such superb vocalsts as
Marie Roze, Carleton, and Tom Karl,

everybody remained in their seats,l as

when the lowering of the lights notified Il

At the age OF about twenty five years
the cork tree is barkcd for the first
time. A circular incision is FIRST made
through the bark near the ground, and
another, also around the tree, close by
the branches. These cuts are followed
by others equally deep, made longitude
nally, and dividing the bark into broad
planks. The tree is then left. The cir
culation of the sap has been stopped; !;
the bark begins to curl outward; and
shortly each strip is peeled off by the
hank. This process is repeated every
ten years. Thus gathered, the bark is
prepared for market in two ways. BY
one method the "tables," as they are
called, are heaped one upon another,
their concave sides being. put under.
most, in deep trenches, and being plenti-
fully moistened, are pressed beneath
huge powders till thoroughly fattened
out. They are then dried carefully be-
fore large fires, and turned constantly.
When flat and dry they are complete.
By the second method the damp pres.
sure in the pits is dispensed with,
the "tables being simply laid with
their convex sides toward the fire, and
suffered to remain until their warp is
lost and they become fiat. This tree
and its uses were known to the Greeks
and Romans, In the time of Pliny it
was employed for nearly as many pur-
poses as at present, as floats for fisher
mems nets, waterproof soles for shoes,
buoys for anchors and for swimming
jackets. The use of cork for stopping
bottles was not entirely unknown to the
Romans, being mentioned by Cato and
Horace, though its application to this
purpose does not seem to have been very
common, as we find everywhere direc-
tions given to close up wine casks and
other vessels with pitch, clay, gypsum
or potters' earth, or to fill the upper
part of the vessel with oil or honey, in
order to exclude the air from those
liquors which they wished to preserve.
Shoppers of cork seem to have been
fret introduced after the invention of
glass bottles, and these do not appear
to have come into use before the fifteenth
century. In 1868 cork was used in
France principally for soles, and in
Germany wax shoppers were used by
the apothecaries until about the close of
the seventeenth century.
Where the tree in indigenous the in.
naoltants apply CORK 10 many purposes.
Thus, in Spain for beehives and kitchen
pals, pillows and window lights in
Morocco for drinking vessels and plates,
tubs and house conduits; in Portugal,
roofs for houses, lining for garden
walls, and fences for poultry yards; in
Turkey, cabins for the cork-cutters and
coffins for the dead; in Italy for images
and crosses, pavements along the walks
and buttresses for the village churches;
in Algeria for shoes and wearing apparel,
saddles and horseshoes, armor and boats,
landmarks and Notifications, furniture
in mansions, racks in stables and steps
for houses; while we use cork in our
own country for floats, shoe-soles, wads
for howitzers, bungs, shoppers, hat
foundations, life boats and life preser-
vers, models for architecture and as a
material for Spanish black.

Chewing Gum.

Among the quiet little manufactures
of the United States is that of chewing
gum. Only one factory exists in this
city, says a New York paper, and the
few others are in New England, New
York State, Ohio. Illinois and Tennes-
see. The gum is sold by druggists,
grocers and confectioners in cities, and
any country grocery that hasn't it is con-
sidered incomplete. Gum from spruce
trees was exclusively used until recent
ly, when it found rival in gum mastic,
white and attractive article made from
paraffine, which is sweetened. The con-
sumption of this chewing gum in the
United States is about thirty tons year.
ly; that of spruce gum somewhat less,
and that of gum made in Tennessee
from balsam tolu, and sold in the South
orn States, about twenty tons. Lately q
material has been used styled " rubber
gum" 1t is from the sap of the sapota
tree of South and Central America. The
sap, like that of the India rubber
tree, has a milky look. The gum was
first imported into the United States
with view of melting it with India rub
ber, in order to produce cheaper arti'
Gle than the latter. 1t was found to be
impliable, aud therefore useless for the
purpose. 1t had long been chewed by
South and Central American Indians,
and found useful in allaying thirst. Ex
periments were therefore made here il
purifying it for chewing, and with fina
success. 1t is tasteless, and has the
merit of lasting longer than other gums
which more quickly dissolve and crum
BILE in the mouth. So great is its due
tility that a piece half AN inch long
after being heated in the mouth, can be
stretched into thread hundred fee
long. Its consumption is about fift.
tons year. Chewing gum does not
like tobacco, require that the saliv'
shall be expectorated it does not, lik,
smoking, excite the nerves, nor like

How a Man Goes TO Bed,

Speaking of how a man goes to bed,
an exchange says: "'There's where a
man has the advantage. He can un-
dress in a cold room, and have his bed
warm before woman has got her hair
pins out and her shoes united That's
how it looks in print, and this IS how it
is really: I'm going to bed, my dear.
It's half-past ten. No reply. Now,
John, you know you're always late in
the morning. Do go to bed 7 Yes, in
a minute, he replies, as he turns the
paper inside out and begins lengthy
Fifteen minutes later she calls from the
bedroom: John, come to bed and
don't keep the gas burning there all
night I and murmuring something
about the bill being big enough now,'
she creeps between the cold sheetst
while John reads placidly on, his fee,
across the piano-stool and cigar in his
mouth. By,aud-by he rises, yawns,
stretches himself, throws the paper on
the floor, and seizing the shaker, pro-
ceeds to that vigorous exercise, shaking
the coal stove. Just at this stage not
altogether pleasant voice inquiries /:
For PHYS sake amt you ready for bed
yet p yes, yes, I'm coming! Why
don't you go to sleep and let fellow
alone?' Then he discovers that there is
coal needed. When that is supplied
and ratified into the stove, he sits down
to warm his feet. Next he slowly be.
gins to undress; and as he stands
scratching himself, and absently gazing
on the last garment dangling over the
back of the chair, he remembers that
the clock is not wound yet. When this
is attended to he wants drink of water,
and away he promenades to the kitchen.
OF course, when he returns his skin re-
sembles that of q picked chicken, and
once more he seats himself before the
fire for last warm up AS the clock
strikes twelve he turns out the gas, and
with flop of the bedclothes and few
spasmodic shivers he subsidies. No, moi
yet ; he forgets to see if the front door
was loo ked, and another flop OF the bed
clothes brings forth the remark Good
gracious if that man amt enough &c
try the patience of Job I Setting heI
teeth hard, she awaits the final flop,
with the accompanying blast of cold
air, and then quietly inquiries Are
you settled for the night? 2 To which
he replies by muttering If you

The Filth OF Memphis,

Memphis is situated upon the east
bank of the Mississippi, upon a bluff
varying from fifteen to fifty feet in
height. Upon the crest of this bluff
runs Front street; from this street the
ground slopes eastwardly away from
the river, so that all rain, surface gutter
washings, slop and whatever of foatable
filth there may be, is drained into the
bayou, which winds through the heart
of the city. Across the river the Ar
kansas shore stretches low and flat, a
vast marsh, notorious for its malaria;
north and east of Memphis upon the
Tennessee side, the land is low and
swampy; the soil in and about the city,
of clay, The bayou runs through the
most thickly populated parts of Mem
phis. Into the elongated cesspool is col
lected all the floating filth of a city of
55, 600 inhabitants; garbage, the drain
age from privy vaults, gutter and street
washings, dead animal matter, all and
everything is poured or thrown into
this receptacle, there to decay and tester
under the broiling sun of that southern
climate. Consider it, if possible-ten
miles of reeking rottenness; not a yard
of it covered except where crossed by
the bridges of the various streets. Dur.
ing rise of the Mississippi the back
water fills this bayou bank full, it's ac
cumulated filth then soaking into the
the clay of it's banks. When the river
falls, the current of the bayou is not o.
sufficient strength TO empty its contents
into the river. The streets OF the city
of Memphis are beyond description
filthy, and completely out of repair
The wooden pavement is the only ont
in use, or rather was the pavemen
originally put down. The streets ant
yards are heavily shaded, the magnoli'
being the tree mostly used.-Lance

who ever knew what the aurora is has
