The late Mr.. Alexander. the emf.

at Maidstone by Sergeant, afterward
Baron Garrow, who wished TO detract
from the weight of his testimony, and,
after asking him what was his name,
proceeded "You are . builder, l

the builder is merely the bricklayer or
the carpenter. The builder. In fact. Is
the machine : the architect the power

Architect, that will do; and now, after
your very ingenious distinction with

Always rub the eyes in washing to-
ward the nose. Many contend that q
free use of soap turns the skin yellow,
and some go SO far as to declare that q
too frequent application of water is
injudicious. Some prefer treating the
hands, neck aud face with an ONT
ment of ~glyeerine, rubbed dry with q
channels skin. This is said to be at
tended with the most satisfactory
results. and there is q story abroad
just now concerning a young woman
who has not washed her face for three
years, and is always clean, rosy and
kissaLle. But she has come to grief,
and her experience ought to be q lesson
to every woman of sound mental con-
dition. In a moment of gushing con-
hdence, such as at times will attack
even the best-regulated women, she
gave her secret away to her lover. and
subsequently received a note from
him stating that he could never recon
Gle his heart aud his manhood to4ed
woman who could get along withc
washing her face. LESS rouge is being
used every year. The face IL more
thoroughly rubbed or brushed with
wet and dry brushes. and whenevera
lady gets a chance she may be caught
pinching her colorless cheeks, a very
harmless and quite ~effectusl means of
making the roses bloom.

CoCHINEAL CULTURE.-In the Town of
Zimatlan, several leagues south of Oaxaca,
n. NJ, is the advance post of cochineal
cultivation. 1t is an Indian village, where
little huts of mud and canes are inclosed
by palisades of other canes and living
hedges of cacti, species Of organo, or
organ cactus, that grow straight up in
futed, hexagonal columns. Within these
hedges are the gardens of cochineal
cactus, which is species of nopai, or
prickly pear, growing in rows to height
of three feet, near together, and very
carefully tended. Since the discovery of
aniline dyes, cochineal has steadily fallen
away in value, until now it hardly pays
for the Indian to raise it. Though worth
now but $40 the arroba-twenty- five
pounds-it has been lower, but formerly
brought as high as 500 the arroba, and
immense fortunes were made in it. The
Indians affirm that Oaxaca was the origi-
nal home of the cochineal, whence it was
taken to Guatemala and the Canaries.
1t was formerly the leading culture, but
now sugarcane holds that honor, though
from various causes hardly enough is
produced for home consumption.

One of the most horrible and shocking
disasters we have been called upon to
record for long period of time occurred
early Friday morning at Memphis. AS
the steamer Golden City, of the South
ern Transportation Co.'S line was ap-
preaching her wharf in Memphis, she
was discovered to be on fire. Lines
were Immediately thrown to the dock
and many of the passengers escaped,
but the lines burned and the steamer
commenced drifting down the stream,
carrying those remaining on board to a
sure and horrible death. Thirty five
lives are believed to have been lost, the
greater part of the doomed ones being
women and children. Another instance
of genuine courage was afforded by
Robert Kelly, the second engineer, who
remained at his post and was burned to
death. The dispatches give the partic-
ulars of the sad affair.

IT is sad mistake for 4 farmer to
neglect the "kitchen garden Every
farm ought to have good one. with a
variety of early and late vegetables. for
the supply of the family table. It need
not be large, but it should be highly
cultivated and made rich with thorou-
ghly rotted manure. 81 make my gar
den black with manure three times year,
and it pays" we overheard a practical
gardner say; and he was right. The
farm garden does not require so much
time and labor as labor applied at the
right time. And the value of fresh
vegetables in agreeable variety cannot
be over estimated, whether in the effect
upon the health of the family or in the
added charm thus given to the home
life. Try it this year.

ANTIQUITY OF THE SQUARE.

Among some tools found in a temple
at Thebes was square, which is the
most satisfactory evidence we have of
the early use of this instrument. From
marks upon it, it has been estimated to
have been made nearly thirty five GEN.
turtles ago. Since the arts in Egypt at
that time we've at the height of their
Development, the square must have
been known for some time previous, and
therefore it is believed that tie use of
the square dates back not less than four
Thousand years. The square known to
the ancients, aud the tool with which
they accomplish wonders of construction
and calculation, was not by any means
the square of the present day. This
instrument as now employed, with blade
and tongue and heel and the graduated
lines which appear upon its surface, is
an invention known only within a COM
paratively short time. The square, as
an instrument, has been brought to its
present state of perfection within very
few years.

A MONSTER OYSTER.

The Mining Bureau is again indebted
to j. 2. Davis for valuable donation
to the State Museum. Prof. Ward, of
Rochester. N. z, arrived lately by the
China steamer Rio Janeiro from Japan.
During visit to tire Mining Bureau he
met Mr.. Davis, and in the mention of
some of his Oriental experiences, told of
an immense bivalve shell weighing 528
pounds, which he had secured as great
prize at Singapore. Mr.. Davis expressed
wish to present such specimen 70 the
State, and asked the Professor to name
price at which he would dispose of it.
This was done and instantly accepted. 1t
is now due at New York. 1t will be re-
shipped for California without unpacking
as Prof. Ward will have it transferred
to California bound ship Immediately
on its arrival at New York. By this
prompt action on the part of Mr.. Davis,
the collectors at the East will not have
the satisfaction of bidding for it, which
they certainly would have done. The
name of this monster shell is the tridac-
ma gigas. In Cooks voyages cookies
are mentioned as being found in the
Pacific, which two men are not able to
carry. Capt. Cook also states that the
animal of this species sometimes weighs
twenty pounds and is good eating. OAR
win also mentions gigantic bivalves seen
in the lagoon at Keeling, or Cocos island
but he classes the shell as the chama. A
pair of valves of the tridacna are used in
the Church of st. Sulpice, Paris, as
benitiers. or holy water fronts. They
weigh upward of 500 pounds, and are
two feet across-probably about the size
of Mr.. Davis donation.

GAVE HIS CONSENT.

A few days since gentleman, says the
Detroit Free Press. who has more corns
and bunions to the square foot on his
feet than he desires (thoagh he cares for
and protects them, and is very tender
with them,) entered shoe shop and said
to his boot-maker, laconically:
THAT was good pair of boots you
made me the last time. Make me anoth-
er pair like them. Call for them Thurs
day at o'clock. Have 'em done. Good
morning"
Yesterday afternoon he came in pune
tually at the hour, and pulling out a
healthy looking pocketbook, CALCULATED:
"Give me my boots! How much?"
Fourteen dollars, sir" replied the
smiling shopkeeper as he skipped around
behind the counter and placed in front Of
his customer pair of tooth-pick- toed
boots, with narrow soles and patent heels.
Without touching them the customer
looked at the fashionable instruments of
torture for moment, and then, with a
ordnance as if the sight had set every
corn a-twinging, blurted out the inquiry:
"Whose are those ?"
''Yours, sir, replied the man of lasts,
with just slight accent of uncertainty
in his tones. "Made out of the very best
stock I have in the store, and in the
latest fashion,"
--latest fashion p exploded old Gouty,
getting red in the face, "altho ugh too
late! Fools all dead except stupid shoe
makersl Now you just take those things,
put them back in the show case, and if
there ever comes in an idiot who has had
the front part of his feet hewed off on
both sides until they look like fat-irons,
you have my entire consent to sell him
that pair of leather gondolas for what
ever the COMPOUNDED fool will give for
them. Bah! I'd as soon wear pair of
tin molasses tunnels"

MILES OF DEAD GOLDFISH.

At the Office of the State Fish Com
missioner E. G.. Blaskford, it was re-
ported yesterday by Captain Lawrence.
of the bark Plymouth, from Winsor,
Nova Scotia, that he had seen a great
quantity of dead Goldfish in the waters off
the Georges Bank. A Tribune reporter
called on Captain Lawrence to learn the
facts. The story as told by him is as
follows: ga week ago last Saturday we
were sailing off the Georges Bank. About
daylight on Sunday morning the mate
came down into the cabin and said that
the bark was passing through a lot of
dead Goldfish, and wanted to know If he
should get some of them. / went out
on deck and saw that the water all
around us and for miles back of us was
all covered with these fish. Their gills
were red and upon scooping up some of
them found that they were hard, show
ing that they had not been dead very
long. From o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the evening we were
passing through this school of Goldfish,
and as we were sailing at the rate of six
knots an hour we went through sixty
nine miles of them"
ibid you eat them?" inquired the re-
porter.
NO." said Captain Lawrence, ''not
sixty nine miles of 'em. We ate a few
of them"
"And this is not fish story2"
Hardly. Three other vessels report
the same facts
''Sixty- nine miles of dead fish are
some-fsh," suggested the reporter.
'You're right, said the captain. "and
that's the point of the story. They
weren't all cod; there was kind of fish
looking like sea bass, and, also, lot of
red snappers. We also found some
broken ships knees"

He KNEW BoUmoAUBT.-A party of
gentlemen were supping at the Vendome,
when the conversation turned on Bouci-
cault One of them, processing to know
the actor intimately, gave programme
of what he was about to do. A second
knew how much he was worth, and where
his funds were invested. A third, who
also knew him well, remarked that he
had been guest in the hotel lately, but,
scared by the presence of small pox in
the city, he had secluded himself in Rox-
bury. A fourth assured the rest that
there was no epidemic in the matter; he
knew for fact that he had been carried
off by M S. one of the loveliest girls
in Boston, and had secluded himself with
her. An old gentleman, rising from the
next table, joined the group. Gentle
men," he said, 81 am the person you are
speaking of. 1t always affords me pleas
IRE to learn in this manner what am
doing, where [ am, and what / am going
to do; it saves me the trouble of making
up my mind. | have no idea of what l
am worth, but dare say the estimate of
this gentleman may be correct. As for
the epidemic, 1 have lately been vacci-
mated Intellectually. The complaint is as
Indifferent to me as the young lady of
whom you speak. 1t is fattering to my
60 years to be accused of being carried
off in such lovely manner. l don't OBJ
iect to the imputation, but the young
lady might see it in another light" The
elderly gentleman then turned his back
on the most surprised party of the sea )
son,
