Origin of Kissing.

The correspondent of an Indiana news
paper gives the following account of the
origin of the osculatory process: ''Some
Trojans with their wives escaped by sea
from Troy when it was taken and sacked.
The wives being horribly sea-sick, when
they landed with their husbands. in order
that the latter might, by hunting, provide
provisions for the remainder of their
journey, to avoid again going to sea and
at the instigation of lady named Roma,
burned the ships. The husbands on their
return being fercely angry, to stay the
torrent Of abuse heaped upon them, their
wives pressed their lips to theirs, and
chung about them. These lip-pressings
were the first kisses, and the novelty was
so successfully employed that the
husbands left off scolding and fell to kiss
ing, until they were kissed by their wives
into good humor and complete forgive
ness"
This account may be the true one,
although it appears to have escaped the
notice of the learned Burton, who makes
nomention Of it in his '.Love Melancholy
Ben Johnson evidently approved of kiss
ing, although he may not have known its
origin, as stated above. He says:
First give hundred,
Then thousand, then another
Hundred, then unto the other
Add thousand and no more.
IF kissing was invented by the Trojans,
and not by Adam and Eve, as commonly
reported, tt is no wonder that our first
parents found the Garden of Eden slow
place, or that Eve gallavanted with the
serpent to while away the time.

A Trunk ExplOdes I'm a Depot.

A singular explosion occurred at the
depot of the. Boston and Providence
Railroad at four 0 clock yesterday after
noon, land the escape from fatal results
to two hulHan lives was almost miracu-
lOus. John Coles, transit express
messenger, called for a trunk mt the in
ward baggagelroOm. Presenting the
check, the baggage-maSteT showed him
the trunk, and Coles took hold of it by
the handle, and was in the act of drag
ging it to his wagon when an explosion,
which resembled the discharge OF d can
non, took place, peverberating through
the farmhouse and causing moment
airy panic among the passengers Codes
was blown into the air q distance. of 30
feet, alighting on terra firma with only
the strap of the trunk in his hand. A
little boy who was passing at the time
was blown across the. street, being pick
ed up insenSible. A crowd of people
soon gathered, and investigation show
ed that there was nothing but small
pieces left of the trunk, which, had been
filed with gunpowder, shot, cartridges
and other sporting Materials, including
a dOuble-barreled shotgun valued at
$500. = The cause of the explosion is
to be the ignition of the pow
der or the discharge of cartridge.
Coles had his eyebrows burned off and
face blackened, but otherwise escaped
injury. The boy recovered conscious
ness, and was found not to be injured.

the trunk belongs, as there is not any
thing left to identify the owner, but I'M

A Sanitary Captain Eads Wanted.

The success of the jetty system at the
mouth of the Mississippi makes that
grand river possible channel for large
part of the commerce of twenty States.
What that commerce may amount to
when the Mississippi valley harbors a
hundred million people, as it is likely to
in the near future, it is impossible to es-
innate. 1t is enough to foresee that it
will surpass any thing in the way of river
traffic that the world has yet known,
provided the sanitary condition of the
Lower Mississippi is such as to allow
commerce a safe and steady passage that
way. 80 -
Captain Eads has shown how the Mis-
sissippi can be entirely freed from the
physical barriers which have hitherto
impeded the commercial development of
that noble waterway. But, however
perfect the channel, commerce will not
adopt a route liable to annual Interrupt
ton by pestilence. Trade can not brook
diversion or delay No more will it sub
ject itself to liability or interruption.
OF greater Importance even than thirty
feet of water is freedom from sanitary
risks Sand-bars are but negatively
harmful; pestilence is positive The
Mississippi must be made as healthy as
the Hudson before its commercial posi-
bilities will begin to be developed. San
itary science must complete the work
which engineering has begun. The great
need of the Mississippi Valley, CONNER
cially as well as socially, is sanitary

some few feet in advance and above

saw a mountain lion about to spring up
on them. They Immediately opened
fire on him, Frost being armed with
Winchester rife, and Henderson with a
breach-loading shotgun. The animal
gave a leap at the same time, but was so
badly wounded that he did not reach the
two men. As he struck the ledge on
which they were standing they poured
in anothervoiley of buckshOt and rifle

Some Facts About the Pulse.

Many erroneous impressions prevail
about the pulse as indicative of health
or disease, common notion being that
its beatings are much more regular and
uniform than they really are. FIRE.
quency varies with age. In the new born
infant the beatings are from $50 to 40
to the minute, in the second year, from
100 to 115; from the seventh to the four
teenth year, from so to 90; from the
fourteenth to the twenty-frst year, from
80 to So; from the twenty-first to the
sixtieth year, from 30 to 20. After that
period the pulse is generally Thought to
decline, but medical authorities differ
radically on this point, having expressed
the most contradictory opinions. Young
persons are often found whose pulses are
below 60, and there have been many in
stances of pulses habitually reaching 100,
or not exceeding 40, without apparent
disease. Sex, especially in adults, in
fluences the. pulse, which iii women is
from 10 to II beats to the minute more
rapid than in men of the same age.
Aluscular-eXertion, even position, mate
rally affects the pulse. Its average fire.
quency in healthy men of p is, when
standing, ST; when sitting, IL, when
lying, Sc per minute; in women of the
same age in the same position, 81, "a
and 70. In sleep the pulse is in general
considerably slower than during wake
fulness. In certain Z diseases acute
dropSy of the brain for example there
may be 45o, ~even 200 beats; mother
kinds of disease, such as apoplexy and
some organic affection of the heart,
there may be no more than 20 to 80 to
the minute. Thus, one of the common
est diagnostic signs is liable to deceive
the most experienced practitioners.

day last was a good day TO experiment
The room, with closed doors and win
dows, was perfect buzz of flies. A
train of very fine gunpowder was laid in
narrow strips over the floor, and the
spaces between the strips were carefully
painted with molasses. In an incredibly
short time all the flies intheroom seem
ed to be on the floor, enjoying the lux
urious repast so temptingly set before
them. 1t was but the work of an in
slant, a flash, a cloud of smoke, the
work was done, and the result, when
carefully weighed, was two pounds three
ounces of fly carcass. The proprietor of
the hotel is happy. and is about to apply
