Laughter.

There is not the remotest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood vessels of
the human body that does not feel some
wavelet from the convulsion occasioned
by good hearty laughter. The.life prin-
ciple, or the central man, is shaken to
the innermost depths, sending new tides
of life and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good health
to the persons who indulge therein.
The blood moves more rapidly and con-
voys different impression to all the
organs of the body, as 1t visits them ON
that particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing, from what it does at
other times. For this reason every good,
hearty laugh in which person indulges
lengthens his life, conveying, as it does,
new and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces. Doubtless the time. will come
when physicians, oonceding more inn
portance than they now do to the in
fuence of the mind upon the vital forces
of the body, will make up their prescrip.
tions more with reference to the mind
and less TO drugs for them; and will, in
so doing, find the best and most effective
method of producing the require4 effect
upon the patient.

Cigarettes.

A few years ago cigarettes IN their
present form were unknown. Cigarettes,
so-called, we're OF Spanish make. so
loosely rolled that they required reroll-
ing by resident smokers. Then was in
vogue, and is now to less extent, the
practice OF making ones own cigarettes.
Properly shaped and sized papers were
furnished, in which Turkish tobacco was
rolled by the ostentatious young smoker.
Then sprang up manufactures of cigar
cites already rolled and prepared for the
smoker. The increase in manufacture
has hardly kept pace with the demand,
for it Is said that during last summer the
supply at some watering places fell short.
cigarettes are used more in summer than
in winter, as the bare hand finds it un-
comfortable and the gloved hand comes
clumsily to the business. At irst cigar
cites were simply rolled and papered:
later, mouthpieces we're added of paste
board, wood, corn husk and glass, the
latter being last years addition Facto-
ries are in New York, Baltimore. Roches-
ter and elsewhere, and the larger ones
employ from five hundred to one thous-
and operatives in rolling cigarettes. One
cigarette making firm has an automatic
machine that performs the labor Of many
operatives. Paper and tobacco are fed
i'll ut one end, and from the other comes
out cigarettes ready for use. The periquc
cigarettes are made in Louisiana Per-
lque tobacco grows only In certain parts
OF this State. 1t is put into rolls and nj.
lowed to remain until cured, md satur-
ated to the requisite state of blackness
and strength. The wooden mouthpiece
cigarettes come from Virginia; those with
glass ends are made in Baltimore, and the
brisk variety in New Orleans. Turkish
cigarettes from Dresden, st. Petersburg
and Odessa and other places, made from
tobacco grown in both Asiatic and Euro
pean Turkey, have limited SALE owing to
tho increased cost which is hundred
per centum greater than American cigar
cites.
The sale, as already intimated, in
creases. All classes smoke cigarettes.

The Mining PrOspectS,

Behold the prospector who wandereth
over the face of the earth.
He traverSeth the hills and picketh the
barren mountains with his pick.
The pangs of hunger grip his bowels
in the morning, end at night he heth
down with only blanket to cover him.
And the graybacks come Forth and
rend him.
And he lifteth up voice Of lamenta-
tion in the wilderness and cries aloud to
heaven:
"Why has this affliction come upon
me, and why do the terrors of hell COM
pass me round about p
And while he sleeps the wolves de70ur
his substance.
And when he fndeth the groupings he
diggeth in the ground and tacketh up
the location notice on the board.
Then he hieth to the valleys and say
eth to the capitalist
"Hearken unto me, for I have struck
it big. Here are the samples from the
ground, and behold the gold maketh
lousy the rock with richness"
And the twain return to find others
1oiling upon the claim.
And the prospector graspeth his gun,
saying:
Get ye gone from here, for this is
holy ground"
And q fire coming out of the bush
smites him on the hip, and he calleth
with loud voice:
81 am done for; take off my boots. "
And they hasten to take off his boots,
and the fragrance of his socks reacheth
unto heaven.
And he giveth up his ghost and is
gathered to his fathers.
And behold, others work the mine

A Young Lady's Heart Misplaced.

A curious case of mnlposition of the
heart was recently discovered by ply
Bician in q patient who was consulting
him for spinal trouble. The woman is
about twenty years old, of good form,
handsome face and pleasing disposition.
A careful study of the precise locality and
form of the heart shows it to be trans
ferred to the right side Of the chest, and
instead Of the apex beating just below
the breast, it strikes upward against the
right collar-bone, near it's outer third.
In this case there must be a double curb
to the large vessels of the heart, and the
base Of the heart is downward. In other
words, this heart is on tho wrong side of
the body, and is upside down. This
unnatural condition of things does not
give rise to any inconvenience, except
when moving too quickly or going up
stairs, when the organ beats with painful
violence against the collar-bone, where
it's motion is plainly visible. Yo'k

The Tyranny Of Buttons.

Among all the possible arguments for
woman's natural inferiority to man the
only one having real force has never
been formulated this is her meek and
un4uestioning submission to buttons.
The buttons OF the male habiliments
are always coming off-notablv before
breakfast, when tho average husband is
about as amiable as bear with q sore
head. At this time, If he finds d button
loose, he gives it "yank," and then
looks about helplessly for his victim
the first woman coming into his field Of
vision. BE holds the button up before
her, says it has "come" off. and she is
expected to sew it on straightway. Gen
orally the victim is his wife and, though
tho baby may be crying, and the break
lass preparations in need of supervision,
while the tyrant himself has nothing on
earth to do but make his toilet, and has.
moreover, sewing materials right before
hlm on the btifeah or dressing-table,
he never rises to the conception Of his
possible eompeteh8e to btpp1y his own
wants Woman, in his eyes, is the pre-
ordained supervisor of buttons and O

the task to her; !; at least this is the waY

Tor his lack of deftness with the needle,
which, as rule, is wholly the fault of
the women who had charge of his boy

replace the buttons he is forever wrench
ing off with his rude lingering. One or
two lessons about the time the boy be-
gins to 60 to school, little work-bux
placed in his room, containing needles,
thread, two or three kinds of buttons
and an open-top thimble-the only kind
that ever should be worn-and the prob

they cannot make better beginning
than by learning to sew on their own
buttons.

Congress of 1843, were: Senators, John
: McFherson, Berrien and Walter T. Col
quit; Representatives, Edward J. Black,
Hugh A. Harrison, John III. Lumpkin,
Howell Cobb, VIM. H. Stiles, Absalom
IL. Chappell and Alexander III. Stephens.
OF all that delegation, Mr.. Stephens,

him out then as the first, and not the

In discussion of the divorce laws of
Massachusetts, before a legislative com
mittee, Charles Cowley, of Lowell, men
toned that "a Judge of the Superior
Court of New York, often serving on the
Supreme Bench, had gone abroad to
marry when it would have been criminal
to do so under the New York laws, and
had then returned. An adulterer was
now wearing the judicial ermine in New
York, and passing on divorce suits"
Alfred E. Giles argued in behalf of men
marrying as many women as they loved,
and declared monogomy to be the source
of the worst evils"
A New York detective declares that
physiognomies of criminals do not usually
betray their occupation. To a Sun re
porter he said: 'Iook over the 1000
pictures in the Rogues' Gallery, and you
will see that there are types of some of
the most prominent and unquestlonabIy
honest men in the United States. It
would be unpleasant to name these un-
fortunate resemblances. Begging your
pardon, 1 could show you the picture of
a we!l-known pickpocket which might
be taken for poor likeness of yourself.

of our police Captains their counterparts

ANOTHER TRAGEDY,
Robert Williams Head Nearly
Severed from HIS Body by his
two Daughters.

DANvILLE, Va, September g.
Near White Mill, in this county yes.
terday, Robert Williams and wife
had quarrel; whereupon the wife
left home and went to neighboring
magistrate from whom she obtain
ed warrant for the arrest of Will
liams. The magistrate appointed
William Owenson as special con
stable to execute the warrant. On
arrival at Williams house, with the
warrant, the dead body of Williams
was found lying upon
a bed quilt in the yard.
His head had been nearly
severed from his body with an axe,
which was lying beside it. No liv.
ing person was found in the house,
but it was learned that two daugh>
ters of Williams, who had been left
with him by their mother when she
went for the warrant, had fed, after
having perpetrated the murder, and
have not been arrested. Williams was
an educated man and of good family
but was addicted to drink, and dan
gerous when drunk.
