Where yvoineun Never Go.

Il vi
During 800 years no woman IL
known to have entered the grounds Of
tho monastery Of Camaldoli, Italy, ex-
cept once, whom a princess of the
house of Medici who had a greatdosira
to behold the place, Disguised herself
in mems clothing and WAS admitted.
But SO stricken with remorse WAS she
on beholding the sacred spot, that she
hastened to the Popo to confess her
fault, and, as penance for II was
commanded to build new cottage in
the enclosure, which she did. This
monastery is ono Of the few institu-
tions Of tho kind suffered to remain in
Italy. A recent visitor says that what
are called cells are comfortable little
dwellings,. Each IL surrounded BY a
wall, and has its garden twenty feet
square. A little piazza, with the trunk
Of a tree planed and squared for d
bench as its only furniture, runs along
the side of the house, Entering the
door, you find yourself In d brick-pav-
cd yestibule, with an empty chamber
where spring of water Is flowing into
a basin on the left, and the living
rooms on the right, These consist Of
a study just large enough for ono per-
son to sit down, d dining and sleeping
room, with the'bcd built into the wall
in the fashion Of Il ships berth. A
small table, two chairs and cupboard
complete the furnishing. Food II pass
ed TO the occupant through d hole in
the ewall, all being prepared in acom-
mon kitchen, and brought to the her
init once a day. They never eat meat;
and their portion Of fish on all except
fast days consists of six ounces Of
fresh, or four Of salt fish.

IEoyva 1Enngar.ian Giant WINS
Crushed by Boa Constructor
ILondon Telegraph. ]

One Of the most intrepid wild beast
tamersin Europe, Karolye, Magyar,
Of colossal stature and extraordinary
physical strength, has recently fallen q
victim to dread contingency Of his
|porilous profession. He was perform
ing, before crowded audience I'M
Madrid, the other day, one Of his most
sensational feats, which consisted I'M
allowing huge boa constructor, over
twenty feet in length, to enfold his
body in its tremendous coils, when
suddenly d piercing cry escaped him,
which was greeted by the public with
a round Of applause under the sapposi-
tion that its uttcrances constituted a
part of the performance. II proved,
however, to Be the outcome Of q strong
mans death-agony. The gigantic
snake had tightencd its coils, and
crushed poor Karolyc's life out Of him
with one terrific squeeze. AS his head
fell back, and his eyes became fixed in
d CLASSY stare, the plaudits died away,
and were succeeded by tho stiffness of
utter CONSERVATION The snake and
its lifeless victim swaycd for second
or two of inexprcssible horror, and
then toppled over on the boards Of the
stage; but the boa did not in the least
relax his grip upon the corpse, which
remained for more than an hour iirh'
prisoned i'll its hidcons thralldom,
nobody daring to approach the 1.-THE
monster, Of whose power such APP
.palling proof had been given. At
length it occurred to one Of karolyc's
attendants to place bowl of milk In q
cage within sight Of the mighty SER
pent, which slowly unwound itself
from the dead body and glided into
his den, irrosistibly tempted thereto
By its favoritc dainty. A post mortcm
examination of the unfortunate
athletes remains discovered no fewer
than eighty-seycn fractures Of his bones,
effected by the construction Of the
scrpent's coils. His death must have
been instantaneous, assthe spine was
'disarticuated IN several places.

One Of the best grasses to restore fer
tility to our exhausted soils in the Gulf
States is the Bermuda. 1t is the best
grass for hay; the best grass for per-
manent pastures, the best for cattle,
horses, or sheep.
1t fourisbes more luxuriantly IN soils
which abound in the phosphates, and
rich ID potash, in the counties Of Adj
ans, Wilkinson and the bluff lands Of
Mississippi, from Yazoo City to Fort
Adams. 1t is considered the most
valuable grass yet discovered; moving
from two to four tons per acre, accord
ing TO the season,
To make it succeed IN the pinewoods,
D top dressing Of bone meal, from 500
to 500 pounds per acre, will be neccs-
sary. This need not be done more
than once every four or five years, bnt
will amply repay its application. An
excellent fertilizer is also made from
bones compostcd with strong wood or
loan, and applied 70 pasture lands
during the latter part Of December, or
the first Of February this win be- found
very beneficial
We are satisfied from personal ex-
perience, that there is scarcely an acre
Of land in our pine woods, unless of
too wet orcold q nature that cannot be
made TO produce at least two tons Of
the best bermuda hay from each acre,
If properly fortified.

The physicians and temperance men
of Chicago are very much excited over
anew remedy discovered by pr. Robert
ID'Unger, which not only cures intein-
perance, but leaves the drunkard with an
absolute aversion to spirituous liquors.
Mr.. Joseph Medill, the editor of the
Chicago Tribune, says:
This is ono of the most wonderful
discoveries of the age. DR.. ,D'Unger
has actually cured $500 cases of the
worst forms of intcmperance He
takes men debauched by liquor for
ycars--takes used up, demented,
loathsome sot, and in ten days makes
well man of him, with positive
aversion to liquor. DIR. D'Unger is a
regular practitioner. lie tells the Sc
cret to everyone, and many physicians
are using his discovery
A correspondent of the New York
Sun lately called on DR.. D'ungcr, and.
relates his interview as follows: &
"My incidence said the doctor,
"can be bought at any tirst-class drug
store. 1t is red Peruvian bark (cin-
chona ruJra). Now, there are eighty
varieties of this bark. j use the bark
from the small limbs of the red variety.
Druggists call it the quill bark, because
it comes from twigs about the size Of
a quill"
How do you mix it?o
Il take a pound of the best quill
red Peruvian bark (cinchona ruJra),
powder it, and soak it in pint Of di-
luted alchohol. Then | strain it and
cyaporato it. down to half pint--so it
is a pound to a half pint. Anyone can
prepare it"
(" How do you give this medicine ~"
!" 1 give the drunken man q teaspoon
full every three hours, and occasionally i
moisten his tongue between the doses
the first and second days. 1t acts like
quinine. The patient can tell by a
headache if he is getting too much.
The third day j generally reduce the
dose to a half spoonful, then down to
fifteen, ten, and five Drops
