CuRE OF A FELoN.

To the Editor of the Evening Journal:
The following cure for a felon has
been tested by wide experience among
my friends, and is worthy of circulation:
Roast or bake thoroughly a large onion ;
mix the solt inner pulp with two heaping
tablespoonfuls of table salt, and apply
the mixture to the affected part as a
poultice, keeping the parts well covered.
Mike fresh applications at least twice q
day, morning and evening, and a cure
will follow in at least a week.

STEWED CELERY
To the Editor of the Evening Journal:

To the Editor of the Evening JoEnal:
| do not know as anybody else knows
it, but have of late discovered the fact
that celery stewed precisely as you would
stew asparagus makes very pleasant and
wholesome dish for breakfast, dinner or
supper. You would be surprised to find
how far an ordinary bunch of celery goes
as thus prepared. ECONOMY.
DOORS FROM COOKING PREVENTED.
Put one or two red peppers, or a few
pieces of charcoal into the pot where
ham, cabbage, ETC., is boiling, and the
house will not be filled with the offensive
odor.

RATS.

In one Of our foreign exchanges we
find the following recipe tor exterminat-
ing rats. Ii consists OF mixture Of two
parts of well bruised common squills and
three parts OF inelY-chopped bacon made
into stiff mass, with as much meal as
may be required, and then baked into
small cakes; these are put down tor the
rats to eat, and are said to effect their
complete extirpation.

WooLEN CLOTHS.

When woolens are worn threadbare, as
is often the case in the elbows, cuffs,
sleeves, etc., of mems coats, the coats must
be soaked in cold water for half an hour;
then take out of the water and put on
board, aud the threadbare parts of the
cloth rubbed with a half worn hatter's
'tcard, !" filed with focks, or with a prick
ly thistle, until-a sufficient nap is raised
When this is done. hang the coat up to
dry, and with hard brush lay the nap
the right way.

A Rad CASE OF YELLOW FEVER

is well calculated to make a thinking
man asraid. 1t is not only a severe mall
ady, but fearfully treacherous and de
eeitful one. 1t is the oppossum of dis
aases; it pretends to be sleeping. or even
dead gone, when it is more alive than
ever-not only are its symptoms of the
most distressing kind, but the sudden
turns it takes are absolutely appalling.

SUGGESTIONS.

To keep cheese that has been cut, tie
it in cloth and put it in cool place; if
mold appears, wipe it off with CLOTH
Flour and meal of all kinds should be
kept in dry, cool place Oranges and
lemons keep beat when wrapped close in
soft paper and laid in a drawer.--Keep
coffee by itself in tin canisters, if possible;
its odor affects other articles.-Keep tea
in close canister, TO preserve it's aroma.
CONDIMENTS.
It is not enough that food should con-
tain alimentary principals in proper
quantity; to render it really nutritious
there must also be a supply of condi-
ments. These may be compared to oil in
a machine, which neither makesgood the
waste of material nor supplies motive
power, yet eau 3 it to work easier and
better, rendering essential service in tire
process of nutrition, though they are not
of themselves able to prevent waste of
any part of the body.

A Strange Bed Room.

The Toledo Blddo says: Not long
ago the widow of gentleman who had
recently died desired the vault wherein
the remains had been temporarily placed
to be watched, so that body.snatchers
could have no opportunity to ply their
nefarious calling. Thinking that the
vault would be watched better by the
sexton than any one else, Mr.. Ladoone
was hired to keep sharp lookout. At
dark he took lantern and blanket and
made up bed In front of the vault, so
that any one approaching II would have
to step over his body. But after lying
there some time II grew quite cold, and
he thought he could watch the corpse
just as well If he were inside the vault,
out of the cold. SO he unlocked the
vault and went in, but found that he
could not lock the vault from the inside.
That would never do, and yet he was
determined not to stay outside. Finally
he went back to the house and reused
his hired man and the two went back to
the vault. Mr. r. then took his lantern
and blanket and went inside, made bed
on the floor, and laid down for the night,
having for companions to while away
the tedious hours six corpses. The at
tendant locked the door from the out
side and went back to the house and his
warm bed, leaving the sexton alone in
the vault with his silent companions.
There was nothing to disturb his tran
guilty during the early part of the
night. Everything was quiet and still
until about o'clock, and then there
was II gentle noise as though some one
were tampering with the vault lock.
Mr. r.. took up his lantern, and the
noise stopped for few moments, only
to begin again when he laid down on
his blanket. This time it appeared to
be in an opposite corner of the vault
He could see nothing and could only
hear that steady scratch, scratch, which
became more, and more distinct every
instant.
Mr.. II. Is brave man, but he con-
fesses that when locked in vault with
six dead men, with no living soul with
in half mile, and at that early hour to
have such an unexplainable noise as
that, 1t was more than men with ordi-
nary nerves can stand. AT any rate,
his hair began to raise, and just as he
was thinking of the best way to defend
himself against his spiritual foes, n
little chipmunk dashed from dark
corner, ran past him and darted out be-
tween the bars i'm the vault door. From
that time on nothing occurred to mar
his quiet watch, but in the morning he
was rather glad to be released from his
dull quarters.

eB- Mr. Westwood, of Mount Auburn,

grave. He soon married again, and bis
second wife rapidly wasted his fortune
until he had no property left except the
monument. Acceeding to the nsw Mrs.
Westwood's advice, no had it removed to

Increasing a Demand for Silver Dollars.

Orders for standard silver dollars are
increasing daily. The amount for the
last twenty days is 1867 900; from the
18th to the Goth inst, 1000. Four
fifths of all orders are from the west,
and the Treasurer says he is doing all
he can to increase the general demand,
except to offer chrome with every
dollar. He thinks the country can
swallow fifty millions without symptoms
of indigestion. BY advice of Secretary
Sherman he is now sending out fifty
thousand circulars calling attention to
the facility with which standard dollars
can be obtained by sending exchange on
New York from any bank. Any man
with credit in bank for 1000 can have
silver delivered free of charge, and in
this way country banks can get their
exchange cashed without expense.

A Strange Story.

LONDON, January 23.-The captain of
q ship recently arrived at Queenstown
writes to Lloyd's that he saw, fifty
miles west of Fastnet, on the 10th inst, !,
a steamer alongside of burning wreck.
The steamer ordered him to keep on his
course and say nothing about the affair,
under the penalty of being also burned.
The steamer had not the appearance of
being a merchantmen nor man-of-
war. She had $50 or 200 men on board,
apparently English.

Courtesies Subscribers Owe TO Newspaper
Men.


There is no class of people whose con-
fidence is so much abused as newspaper
men, and whose losses work such hard
ships. Some of our exchanges speak
very plain words about the dishonesty
and meanness practiced upon them.-
We do not know whether THE TIMES
has any of the class spoken of below or
not, but if there should be we ask them
to ponder the utterance herewith given.
Says one of our brethren: " Newspa-
per men are compelled to pay postage on
all papers sent out of the county. No
honest man will continue to receive a
paper for years, free of postage, and re-
fuse TO pay the price of subscription.
If he is not able to pay he should act
the man and say so. If he is able to
pay and will not do not so he is mean,
avaricious and dishonorable man and
not worthy of trust or confidence. p

honorable way to discontinue a news

THE INAUGURATION on Tuesday was
gala day in Harrisburg. The largest
crowd that has been seen in that city
since the war was present to do honor
to the occasion. Everything passed off
pleasantly, though there was some de-
lay in moving the procession. The
Governor delivered an inaugural nd
dress, that may be classed as an honest
manly document which is credit to
his head and heart, and is deserving of
general approval. He says: 81 fully
comprehend the oath have jnst taken.
The people of Pennsylvania expect me
to keep that oath. BY the help of their
prayers and the favor of Divine Provi-
dence, 1 expect to keep it," To this
every body will say Amen.
