SMELLING IHE TIMBER.
Huge branches, like giant arms twisted and torn
from their sockets, tumbled down from above,
mingled with human fruit, as here and there a
rifeman fell from his lofty perch; and yet, save
a battery or two upon the right, AID a few pieces
farther to the left, the Union artillery dumb.
Suddenly as though throttled by some mighty
grasp. the rebel batteries ceased. Behind their
frail defenses, hastily constructed upon their ar
rival, the men, realizing what was coming,
crouched with leveled muskets. Boom! boom !!
boom! from the rear. Over their heads shrieked
the shells and hurtled the fearful tempest of
grape and canister. Porters guns, masked in
the timber, had watched and waited for the su-
preme moment and it had come. They had
held their peace long enough. The opportunity
was ripe, and they were having their say. The
smoke from their muzzles settled below the tree
tops, and hung like canopy above the men

half mile to the eastward, stretched broad,
elevated plateau, swept from the right, left, and
rear by the enemys fire, on the farther side of
which the Union troops were forming second
line, in rear of two or three batteries. Nearer
by, in the edge of the wood fringing the rayine,
several batteries, Griffins and Weeden's among
the number, yet held their ground. One of them
was supported by perhaps fifty soldiers from diff
feEent regiments-it was as safe there as at any
other point-stragglers and slightly wounded
men. The foe swept up to the guns Down

whv Butchers are so Healthy.

A writer in Les AOndes ascribes the ex'
ceptioual healthiness OF butchers to
their inhaling the nutritiveprinciples Of
meat, and French physician OF emi'
nence deduces from this the deslra6ility
of vapor baths charged with vitalizing
principles. Cooks, at this rste, ought
10 be amazingly full Of vitality. The
good healsh OF butchers is probably due
to their living entirely in the open air.
the same cause which gives 20 many
more years OF life, on the average, 70 the
grocer's clerk than to his dry goods
brother. Thirty years ago butchers In
London never wore hats when at work,
but drove all over the city bareheaded,
as many young butchers do now; The
inhaling idea is, like all Others, old. A
century ago eonsumptive patients were
sent 10 live over COW houses.

Notes and Hints.

Do not let your laundTeSs or washer
woman put clothes into the blueing wa
Ter until they have been well shaken; If
tossed in while folded as they come
through the wringer they are almost
certain TO be streaked with blueing, and
although after repeated washings these
streaks will come out, every one knows
how aggrayating it is to use napkins or
handkerchiefs that show traces OF care
less washing.
An immense quantity Of the smaller
fruit is raised in New Jersey. During
the season many thousands OF quarts OF
strawberries, blackberries, raspberries
and whortleberries are daily received in
Philadelphia alone, which consumes
only small portion Of the total produc
ton. In Vineland and vicinity about
$4,000 quarts OF strawberries were
picked last month, for which about
$50, COO were obtained.
For hoarseness take the whites OF two
eggs, beat them with two teaspoonfuls
OF white sugar, CRATE in little nutmeg,
then add pint of lukewarm water; stir
well, drink often, aad it will cure the
most obstinate case of hoarseness in q
short time.
Silk neckties can be washed in rain
water, to one pint of which add tea.
spoonful of white honey and one oil
hartshorn. Do not squeeze but let
them drip, and when nearly dry press
between folds OF cloth.
Ten cents worth OF coculus ipdlcus
berries, stepped in a pint OF cheap whis-
XIV, and applied by feather in every
crack or corner Of the infected bedsteads
or walls will prove too much for the
tugs.
II q little vinegar or some cider Is
mixed with stove polish 1t will not take
much rubbing to make the stove bright,
and the backing is not likely to fly Oh
in fine dust
When washing fine laces DO not use
starch at all; in the last water IN winch
they are rinsed put little fine white
sugar, dissolve it thoroughly and the re
suit will be pleasing =,
To remove proud flesh pulyerize loa
sugar very fine and apply 1t TO the par
afflicted. This is a new and easy RENE
DIV, and it is said to remove it without
pain.
For collie, take a teaspoouful OF salt II
a pint OF cold water, drink it and 60 Il
bed. The same will revive a person
who seems almost dead from heavy
fall.
Parsley eaten with vinegar will re
move the unpleasant effects oil eatini
onions. So will pinch OF green tea.

GRAFTON Society Ii Doing About

1t.
n. Telegram. -
A Ts'eeraua reporter called to-day upon
Mr.. III. II. Hadley, Secretary oil the
Business Mems Moderation society, 70
ASCERTAIN. how the association regarded
the answer OF the brewers to the ques-
lions propounded to them by the socie-
~. and what further action would be
taken in the matter. To q number OF
queries Mr.. Hadley replied, In sub
stance, as follows: "Iou will notice
that the brewers acknowledge that some
of them use corn meal, corn starch, rice,
grape sugar and glucose as substitutes
for barley malt, in proportions varying
from five to twenty per cent; but they
state that they propose to discontinue
their use whenever our society or any
one else establishes as q fact that they
are authorizations or are deletSrious In
beer. They furthermore defend the
nse of these artiC les and claim that they
are harmless.
"This will open the subject for dis
cussion, and will, no doubt, lead TO
beneficial results. Our society does not
pretend to deny the statements made by
the brewers. Since We took the stand
that the use of beer is preferable to
drinking distilled liquors we have been
assailed by many extreme temperance
advocates, who have retorted by show
ing up what they consider injurious
authorizations of malt liquors. There is
no doubt an old fashioned idea that
good beer can only be made from pure
barley malt and hops. No doubt some
would prefer the flavor given by foreign
substances. The society will shortly
establish a paper, in which articles on
this subject will appear, furnished oy
able writer's, and q thorough discussion
of the matter will be courted.
There is one portion OF the brewers
reply in which they have met US more
than half way. They express a willing.
ness, not only to permit an authorized
officer OF our society to inspect the
brewing books OF their foreman or mas
ter brewer, but also to submit their
United States revenue books Tor IN
spection. Furthermore, they have no
objection to an analysis OF their beer.
These concessions enable US to get at
all the details that We sought Tor:
think the society will avail themselves
of this permission, and publish all the
facts cleaned, with the exception OF the
number OF gallons manufactured, which
is a point they have objected to. l feel
confident that this movement inaugural
ed by the BUSINESS Mems Moderation
Society will result In the public's find.
