STAMMERING.

M. Chervin, who has founded several in- stitutions for the cure of stammering in Euro pean cities, and especially Paris, has published lately some curious statistics of this infirmitv. and the conditions of its. increase Paris has only six stammering recruits in 10000, whereas the Bouches du Rhone has more than 153. The ordinary frequency, how ever, is about five in 1000; at least at the recruiting age (for it seems to vary with the age). M. Chervin finds stammering fre- quent in Piedmont He attributes this greater frequency in part to the extreme ani- nation of speech of the Southeners, ac- companied by gestures, demonstrations and expressive mimicry, which some push even to grimace. The words-lke & crowd is. suing from theatre-come out in 8 jerking, irregular way, and impatience adds to the embarrassment. The common cause of stammering generally M Chervin considers to be some sudden fright in childhood. A fire, & boat accident or the like will make 8 child a stammerer suddenly. The evil may, however, come gradually, and sometimes from involuntarily imitation of stammering in another. It is curious that men are much more subject to stammering than women. Country parts contain twice or thrice as many stammerers as towns, according to recruiting data With this may, perhaps, be connected the other fact brought to light by M. Chervin, and which is easily ex- plained, viz: that countries containing most schools have fewest stammerers. By learn ing to know their tongue, to distinguish, read and write the different words, chil- dren must come to apprehend and articulate these more distinctly and avoid stammering. In savage countries, where grammar is an art wholly unknown, travellers have often been struck with the number of stammerers. M. Petitot mentions tribe in North Amer ica-the Litchaurea-of which all the mem. bers stammered more or less.

HOW IT SOUNDS.

Some writer has produced DO em entitled, "Sounds From the Sanctum." It reads just too pretty, and gives rise to the thought that the author never visited the sanctum when business was in full blast. If he had called about midnight, for instance, he would have seen two saints, one boring over . proof-slip, the other holding the copy, and the sounds would have been something like this: Proof-reader-" AS flowers with out the sunshine fare-comma-so-com without you-comma-d full stop breathe dark and dismal mare" Copy holder: Thunder! not mare-air. !" Proof-reader: "I breathe dark and dis nal air comma-as flowers s-comma-" Copy-holder: "Shoot the comma" Proof reader" 'Tis done. As flowers without the sunshine fare-semi- -colon-confound slug seven, he never justifes his lines-No joy in kfe-comma-no worms" Copy holder: "Warmth" Proof-reader-" No warmth I share-comma-And health and vigorous flies" Copy-holder: "Blazes Health and vigor fly" Proof-reader {: Health and vigor fy-fun stop" That's about the sound of it when poetry is on deek.-Des AOincs Register.

THE GRAVEL MINE.

If you want to make certain Virginia City merchant real mad, ask him if he has a gravel mine to sell He got to playing poker one day and won $2OO, but took in payment an undeveloped gravel mine. His friends leased him terribly about the al- leged worthless property, and at last, get ting little excited, he told them that be- fore he got through with that mine they would see that he was not such fool as they took him for. Then he wrote to some rich sequaintances that he had splendid claim, which. being hard up, he would sell cheap for S2.OOO. Then he bought $500 worth of gold dust and nuggets, and salted the claim thoroughly with them. The capi- tAliSts came, prospected little, bought it immediately, and paid him his g., 900 cash. In three weeks they got out $8 900 worth of of ore. That Virginia City man didn't smile for month.

WHY A LETTER DOESN'T 60.

The Cincinnati Saturday Night publishes the following reasons why a, letter doesn't go:-
 Because you forgot to address it
 Because you forgot to stamp it.
 Bscaase you ,rgot to write the town or State on the envelope.
 Becanse you used once cancelled stamp. Because you cut out an envelope stamp and pasted it on your letter.
 Becsuse you used foreign stamp.
 Because you wrote the address on the top of the envelope, and it was surely obliter- ased by the post office dating, receiving and cAneelhng stamps
 And because you put your letter in blank envelope, and sealed it, and forwarded it t. the Dead Letter Office, where thousand, upon thousands of valuable letters are daily destroyed because the people are either careless or ignorant of the postal laws. And to the above we would add a few reasons why an answer don't come:
 Becsuss you do not sign your name. Becsase you sign it so indistictly it cannot be read
 Because you do not give name of post Ofice.
 Because you do not give name of county, Because you do not give name of State. Becanse you write with pencil, which is ruhbed of and llegible.
 Bscsase you use ink So pale and dim it cannot be rsead-
 Becaass yoa write so poorly no one can ne4d it
 Beoaass you do not enclose stamp to pre- pT postAss on the ansxsr.

THE FASHIONABLE WOMAN.

The late Lord Lytton was fond of relating little anecdote as an illustration of ons characteristic of high civilization. It was this: Lord -, shortly after his marriage, said to the author of '' Pelham" My wife cannot be leader of fashion" "Why not
 my lord! She has virtue, beauty, rank, fortune and establishment" ''You hit upon the very reason first she is virtuous The lead in fashion is bestowed by the praises of certain fashionable men. To obtain these praises they must be earned. The givers must be admitted to familiarity, which, if it stop short of destruction, which it rarely does must carry with it the reputation of vice God forbid my wife should be hrUcght to this! therefore she must be con- tent to be chased with the humdrums," I repeat the snecdote, for consider its appli- cation batter now than ever it was

AN ANCIENT LAND GRANT.

The Chicago Tribune prints an interesting old document, conveying to the whites from the Indians an immense tract of land, in- eluding the whole of Illinois and large part of Wisconsin The consideration paid for this territory is thus expressed in the deed: Two hundred and sixty strouds, two hun- dred and fifty blankets, three hundred and fifty shirts, one hundred and fifty pairs of stroud and half-thick stockings, one hun drsd and fifty stroud breech-cloths, five hundred pounds of gunpowder. four thou sand ounces of lead, one gross of knives, thirty pounds of vermillion, two thousand gun hints. two hundred pounds of brass ket- ties, two hundred pounds of tobacco, three dozen giltlOOking glasses, one gross of gun worms, two gross of avis, one gross of fire steels. five hundred bushels of Indian com, twelve horses, twelve horned cattle. twenty bushels of salt and twenty guns.

HE WANTED SOMETHING "FR1sKY.v

Got something fisky1" he asked, as he walked into 8 ivery-stable and called for a saddle-horse something that will prance about lively, and wake @ fellow out of his lethargy? I used to ride the trick mule ill a circus, an I reckon can back anything that wears hair"
 They brought him out caico-colored beast, with vicious eye, and he mounted it and dashed of
 Before he had gone two blocks, the ami ual bucked, crashed through a high board fence, and plunged into cellar, tossing his rider over the top of an adjacent woodshed, and landing him on the ragged edge of a hvn-mower.
 They bore him home, strengthened him out, and three surgeons came in and re- duced his dislocations, and plastered him up with raw beef
 A few weeks later, he called at the stable, and said if they had gentle saw-horse with an affectionate disposition, a bridle with a curb-bit and martingales, and a saddle with two horns and a. crupper to it, he believed he would go up in the haymow, and gallop around 8 little where it was soft and it wouldn't hurt him

MUSHROOMS IN COAL MINES.

At the bottom of Raith Colliery shaft, in Fifeshire, Scotland, which is eighty fathoms deep, and where horses are largely en- ployed, mushrooms grow to an enormous size. They have been partaken of, cooked and made into ketchup, and suggest the idea that mushroom growing on a large and profitable scale may be very successfully adopted "down in the coal mines" This edible fungus is found in perfection all the year round In France the mushroom is cultivated in caves, which may not inaptly be ikened to mines. such is their depth and extent,

EXCITED HIS CURIOSITY.


 "Deadwood," said the stranger, putting down his half eaten slice of lemon pie, and taking @ long pull at the milk, II went there when the first rush was made for the hills Rather @ rough crowd the first lot, you bet; more wholesome now. When got there was dead broke-didn't have a dollar, didn't have & revolver, which a man II often need out there worse'n meals wit ties. I was prob'ly the only man in the hills who didn't carry firearm, an I wa some lonesome, tell you.
 The only weapon hed-I am black smith-was rasp, heavy file, you know, bout eighteen inches long, which I carried down my back, the handle in easy reach jus: below my collar. Understand? Like the Arkansaw man carries his bowie knife. I'm not exactly temperance man. just don't drink an don't meddle with any other mans drinkin'-thats all. One day-I hadn't been in Deadwood more'n week. was sittin' in sloon-only place man kin set to see any society-when a feller come in, reg'lar hustler, with his can full and a quart over. He'd revolver on each side of bis belt and looked vicious. Nothin' mean about him, though. Asked me to drink. Not any, thank you,' sez I. Not drink with me! Me! Bill Feathergill! When ask a tenderfoot to drink I expect him to prance right up an no monkeyin!. You hear me!'
 "Well, when his hand went down for his revolver, whipped out my old file quicker'n fire 'ud scorch 6 feather, an swiped him one right acrost the face. When he fell I thought I'd killed him, an the s'loon tillin' up with bummers I sorter skinned out, not knowin' what might happen. Purity soon a chap in red shirt came up to me. Sez he, You the man as ke-arved Bill Feathergill ? Cos, eff so be as you are, eff you don't want ev'ry man in the hills to climb you don't you try to hide yoursef-the boys is asking fur you now
 '' It struck me that my friend had the idee, so waltzed back and went up and down before that sloon for nigh three hours I'd found out Bill wasn't dead an was bad medicine, but it would not do to let down. Purty soon see my man a-headin' for me. His face had been patched up till it looked like the closing g-out display of a re- tail dry goods store. There was so little countenance exposed that I couldn't guess what he was a-aimin' at, so I brought my hand back of my collar, an grabbed my file.
 "'Hold on there, there; hold on,' sez he, 'gimmey'r hand, I'm friendly, I've got nothin' agin you, not thing but-you'l pardon my curiosity-what sort of weapon was that; stranger?'"

AFRICAN SALUTATIONS.

During his exploration of Tibesti, Dr. Nachtigei experienced many dangers and diff faculties, losing his way, and suffering from want of water and forced night marches. A very interesting account is given of the cere monials observed by the Tubu people in performance is gone through when two strangers meet in this wild country. Each of the performers covers all his face but his eyes with his turban, seizes his spear and throwing iron, Ca curious, boomerang like weapon with long projecting prong on the concave margin,) and thus prepared, the two approach one another. At distance of about six steps from one another, they squat on their heels with spear upright in one hand and iron in the other. The one then asks, "How do you do?" about a dozen times by means of four different words hav- ing that meaning used alternately, the reply being varied of the use of the words Laha, or Killala. Then one of the two loudly by the other in similar tone. The word is exchanged again and again, being com- menced in a loud pitched notes and gradual ly run down the scale until it reaches low, bass murmur. When it has become so low as scarcely to be heard, on sudden it is shouted again in high key and the gamut is run through as before This goes on for very long while, the performers going through it as strict matter of ceremony, and taking no interest in one another all the while, but looking round at the horizon or elsewhere during their vocal exertions. After while various forms of the question "How are you?" and the answer "Wen," are introduced; at last questions or other topics are brought forward, although now and again the ihilla" bursts out in the midst of them, but the series of notes in which it is shouted becomes shorter and shorter. At last the ihilla is got rid of alto gether, and ordinary conversation becomes possible. Strangers do not shake hands, but acquaintances do. The covering of the face when greeting or meeting strangers is considered as 8 most important matter of etiquette. e.-Nature.
