A correspondent ofthe Stockton (Cal. } Herald writes: "I herewith append a receipt which has been used, to my knowledge, in hnn- dreds of cases. It will prevent or cure smallpox though the pittings are filled. When Jcnner discover cd a cow-pox jp England the world of science turlcd an avalanche up. on his head, but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world-that at Paris published this receipt, a panacca for small pox, it passed unhceded. It is as unfailiug as fate, and conQuers in every instance. It is harm less when taken by a well pcrscu. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe, as l nave used it, and cured my children of scarlet fever; here It Is as ] used II to cure small pox, x,when learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured:
 Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox glove (disitalis,l one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two tablespoonsful of water. When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take spoonful every hour, Either disease will dissp. pear in twelve hours. For child, smaller doses, according to age. If countrie. would compel their phy- siciaus 10 use this there would be, no need of pest-houses. Ifyou value advice and experience use this for that terrible disease.

Eating Melon Seed s.

All the Chinese delight in pick ing open and nibbling melon seeds, in accordance with d Chinese prov crb which expresses the satisfac- ton of always having something
 in the mouth. In this respect the race are like squirrels, except that rich mems long pointed nails do the work moro eifectually than teeth. In every idle moment the whols population devotes itself to cracking melon seeds. AS they walk in the streets, or at tho so- cial chat, to beguilc the t.dium of a journey or to enlighten the cares of business; the infallibl0 remedy is melon seeds. Even at the thea tres, sL Loctators are provided with little plates of watermelon seeds, and an attendant walks about ~ith a large basket to replenish them again and again, so that the sOand of the cracking seeds is heard in- csssantly, and the floor invariably strewn with them. They are offer. ed for sale everywhere. In the districts where melons grow abm- dantly, the refresing fruits are freely offered to all corners on con. dition of their saying and restoring the seeds. These are collected in great bales as articles of com rerce and form the chiet cargo of many juncs on the rivers. Small chil- drsn, busy merchants, great man darins delight in them. The poor est coolie, notwithstanding the disadvantage of his short nails, con trives to spare little cash for the purpose of this luxury. I am told that this curious passion for melon seeds prevails throughout the em- pire, and that the four hundred millions of Chinamen arc all insa. liable for these dainties.

Heart Beats.
Pensacola, Florida,

Dr. N. Richardson, of Lonaon, the noted physician, says he was recently able ;o convey a consider able amount of conviction to an in- telligent scholar by a simple .eX- pertinent. The scholar was sing ing the praise of the "ruddy bump CT" and saying that he could not get through the day without it, when DI. Richardson said to him:
 Will you be good enough to feel my pulse as stand here'
 He did so. said, Count 1t carefully, what does it say?'
 Your pulse says seventy-fonr.
 then sat down in chair and asked him to count it again. us d,d so, and said: Your pulse has gone down to seventy
 then lay down on Il lounge and said:
 "Will you take it again?'
 'He replied, Why it IS only six ty-four; what an extraordinary thingn
 then said: When on lie down at night-that is the way nature gives your heart rest. You know nothing about it, but that beating organ is resting to that extent, and if you csn..reckon it up it is a great deal of rest, because in lying down the heart is doing ten strOkes less in a minute. Multiply that by six ty and it is GOO; multiply it by eight hours, and within fraction it is 5000 strokes different; and as the heart is throwing six ounces of blood at every stroke, 1t makes a difference of 30 ,OO0 ounces of lift ing during the night.
 When l lie down at night with out any alcohol, that is the rest my heart gets. But when you take your wine or greg yoa do not allow that rest, for the influence of the alcohol is to increase the number of strokes, and instead of getting this rest you put on something like I5,000 extra strokes, and the result is, you rise up very seedy and un' fit for the next days work till you have taken little more of the 'ruddy bumpers which you say is the scul of man be'ow.'- Scientific American.

AGRICULTURAL.
Harro wing.

There seems to be a we'll defn- ed prejudice against the free use of the harrow, in many portions of our State. 1t is no uncommon sight, when passing over the farm ing portions of our State, to see farmers bearing off'' their corn and potatoes, i. C., giving them their first cultivation with small turning blow. This is the point where the harrow is most useful. The harrow can be used to better advantage when the crop is small, 7, than any other farm implement, as it levels off the surface and puts the soil in geod condition for the blow, destroys more young grass and weeds than any other imple- ment. does it better and with far less labor than by any other pro- cess. Try the harrow, farmer friends, harrow, cross-harrow, and then repeat, until your. plants are large enough to stand to furrOw.- Rural and Workman.

Starching and Ironing Shirts.

After being washed, the shirts should be Perfectly white, with no tinge of blue or yellow. Too much bluing and inferior soap are both enemies of the ironer.
 Let the shirts get thoroughly dry. Use good starch. Boil the starch with frcestone or cistern water (not limestone,) and when 1t begins to boil, put in a teaspoon lul of gumarabic to each quart; let 1t boil five minutes, string 1t to keep the gumarabic from striking. Let the starch get cold waen 1t should be as thick as jelly. About a teacupful of dry starch to quar-. of water will give the required consistency, hut as the amount will vary with the quantity of starch employed. no exact rule can he given. Get the best starch to be obtained, use one brand and the proportion is soon determined.
 Take piece of cold starch and a dry shirt, rub on the wrong side ofthe bosom till tEe starch comes through all over in the front. Wiring a cloth out of cold water and wipe off all starch on the front of bosom,
 Immediately iron with moder- ate hot sadd iron: bear on hard, iron quickly. Too hot sn iron will yellow the bosom, and too cold a one will stick, and make the work rough. you can possess nickle plated set of irons, so much the better; at least see that your irons are clean, smooth, and bright.
 After ironing the bosom, treat the cuffs iii like manner. Finish one shirt before beginning apoth- CT.

Niagara to Be iscscuce From Swim
 dlers,

Philadelphia Record; All Ameri- cans will rejoice that the Niagara
 Park Reservation bill, so long pending in the New York legis,a. turs, has become law. The great cataract ard the wild gorge below are the possession and pride of the nation, although held in trust by one state. It is no longer possible 10 preserve the river banks from Chippewa 10 Lewistown in prime val ruggedness; but there is little temptation to eIcroach upon the edges of the gorge, where the principal offender is the peripatot. ic painter of sign advertisements. The bili signed yesterday by Gov. Hill sets apart ils acrcs in the i'm mediate yisinity of the fails, in. cluding Goat Islam d and all the smaller islands adjacent, and a strip of land on and below the cliff to the river's edge, and em- bracing all the points from which the cataract IS visible. When the state enters into full possession of the land it will pc kept, as far as possible, in its natural condition, and the offensive tolls and disfig- uring adiuncts, ,now 20 conspicuous, will be abolished. With the des- trucsiou of the system of plundsr so long aad successfully prac.iced upon tourists may come a gehat- bilitation of Niagara as a summer resort. A more delightful spot never fell into the hands of thieves and extortionists.

Red Pepper and Salt for Cholera.

A Massachusetts correspon dent calls our attention to the publica' tion, about thirty years ago, of a very successful cholera cure, intro, duccd in this way: The captain of an emigrant ship, coming from Eu- rope, had lost many of his passen- : gers by cholera, although freely dosing all who were sick with the remfdtss then usual. At last he made a prescription Of his own one teaspoonful fred pcper and a tablespoonful of salt to half a pint of boiling water; this to be g."- en as hot as po.sible, to every pa . tient when first taken. It is said that this simple remedy acted like a charm, curing all.the eases OR board that ship, and attaining con siderable general popularity dur ing the time of that cholera vislta- ton.

Sweet Potato Culturc.

A correspondent of the South crn Cultivator gives the following drectio ns for sweet potato culture. He says: "To begin, never break up your land in preparing for sweet potatoes. Have the bottom of your lasd as hard as possible. If it should be nece ssary to blow the land to level it, or to break up new ground for the crop, blow as shallow as possible, and allow the rains to compact it. Then with 8 blunt-pOinted, eight inch shovel. running shallow; lay of your rows four feet apar f.; then All the furrow with good stable manure, upon which scatt CT at leas, five hundred pounds to the acre, of cotton seed hull ashes, or any other good ash. es, or the sams amount of kainit.

By all means do not fail to give q liberal sup. ply Of potash, in some form; this will insure smooth, healthy, we'll favored potatoes, that will keep whcu housed, end will improve with age.
 After applying tho fertilizers in this shallow furrow, cover it with a good turning blow, running once on each sidc and sufficiently far off, 10 form fiat bed immediately over the fertilizer. You now have about four inches of loose earth ly- ing over and above the hard ground. Next with steel rakes, smooth of the flat beds, which are then ready for planting.

ready gone east to lay in supply Of goods.
