Fannie Davenport's Black Eye

Last summer Fannie Davenport brought
home from California, among other trophies
very handsome century plant. This rare
exotic she attended with ali the lavish care
she expends upon all her numerous pets
One afternoon, just before preparing for the
theatre, in the early part of the present sea-
son, she was watering her plant and exam
ming its buds-for it had just begun to put
forth it's centennial blossoms-when by an
accident her right eye came in violent col
lision with it. The blow was sudden and
sharp, and the luckless beauty had, within
FIVE minutes, to lament the possession of a
bad black eye. Her file de chambre happen
ed to have applied once before, to bruise
on her arm, some of Giles Liniment Iodide
Ammonia, which is said to be specific fer
all such unsighty Commissions. The second
application removed the swelling and dis
celebration in half an hour Fannie haven
port is, therefore, one Of DR.. Giles warmest
admirers.

One mile and 20 rods north Of the
beautiful village Of Sanqnit, New York,
resides Andrew J. Green Recently he
started to walk to the village. Swinging
along at his Wonted stride and reaching
2 point within half a mile of his desti-
nation, his attention was attracted by
the strange actions Of a large flock of
7paTTows, lowering down over the side
walk, flying hither and thither in great
excitement. As he approached them,
and when in their midst, they evinced
no fear of his presence, and, instead OF
flying away on his entrance among them,
they pressed around him in great NUM-
beTs, and almost Immediately attacked
him with their sharp bills with great
fury. At first he was disposed TO treat
the attack as a trivial matter, and at
tempted to brush them away with his
hands. but the few thus displaced were
Immediately replaced by myriads more,
chattering and piercing him with their
small bills, Ike "the fight Of cloud Of
arrows"
The immense numbers and persistent
charge were so great that he was soon
thrown to the ground. Now thoroughly
alarmed, he struggled to his feet. Gov
ering his ewes and face with one hand as
well as possible, he endeavored with the
other hand to Wrest from the fence at
his side a stake or picket with which to
defend himself, but not succeeding, and
the wild and infuriated little warriors
still increasing their attack, he was
forced to fight them again with his
hands, when again he was thrown to
the ground. Now really terrified for his
life, he pulled his coat over his face and
head for protection, regained his feet
and fed for his life, but they did not
pursue him far. Exhausted and with his
hands bleeding, he reached the village,
convinced that he had had a narrow
escape.

This elegant and delicate starch is the
product of plant that is cultivated very
extensively in the Malay Peninsula,
where its culture is almost entirely in
the hands of the Chinese. The tubers
(ManiBOt lttiliSsima,) which weigh on an
average from ten to twenty-five pounds,
are first scraped and then carefully
washed; after which they are reduced
to pulp by being passed between roll
lers. This pulp is carefully washed and
shaken up with abundance Of water,
until the fecula separates and passes
through a very fine seive into a tub
placed beneath. The -four 80 obtained
is repeatedly washed, and then placed
on mats and bleaehed by exposure to
the sun and air. 1t is finally converted
into the pearl tapioca of commerce by
being placed in a cradle-shaped frame
covered with canvas; it is slightly
moistened and subjected to a rotary mo-
tion, by which means it is granulated.
It is next dried in the sun, and finally
over the fire in an iron pan creased
with vegetable talow, and is ready for
the market.

A Hampshire incumbent recently re-
ported in the Pail Nall Gazette some of
the blunders he had heard made in the
marriage service by that class of persons
who have to pick up the words as best
they can from hearing them repeated by
others. He said that IN his own parish
it was quite the fashion for the man,
when giving the ring to say to the
woman, "With my body I thee wash up,
and with all my hurdle goods thee and
thou" He said the women were generally
better up in this part Of the service than
the men. One day, however, bride
startled him by promising, inRwhat she
supposed to be the language of ) the
prayer book, to take her husband ''to'ave
and to'old from this day fortni't t, for bet
terer horse, for richerer power, in sig
gerness health, to love cherries, and to

VOW conveyed to her own mind, the in
