Struck by a Meteor.

A correspondent writes: Gas a gen
tleman, well-known public official, was
passing from st. James's Park into Pail
Mall by the garden wall of Marlborough
House, on Saturday last, at :45 in the
afternoon, he suddenly received on the
right shoulder violent blow, accom-
panied by loud cracking noise, which
caused him great pain and to stumble
forward as he walked. On recovering
his footing, and turning round to see
who had so unceremoniously struck him,
he found that there was no one the pave
ment but himself and the policeman on
duty at the park end of it. On reach
ing home the shoulder was submitted to
examination, but nothing was at first
discovered to account for the pain in it.
But in little while the servant who had
taken away the coat to brush brought it
back to point out that over the right
shoulder the nap was pressed down fat
in long, straight line, exactly as if a
hot wire had been sharply drawn across
the cloth. The accident is therefore ex-
planned as having been caused by the ex-
plosion of minute falling star or
meteor. 1t is an unprecedented and
most interesting occurrence, and de-
serves, think, to be placed on public
record. "-LOHdoR Times.

II think it had. l never saw either
Cousin John or his wife again; they both

A Barometer.

A kiss is an unfailing barometer. The
initiated can tell "the signs of the times
invariably. 1t is sure indication of a
cold wave if the young lady's best beau
tells her her kisses are ever so much
sweeter than the girls across the way.
There is sure to be a storm If the young
woman's father catches him in the act
There will be heavy clouds in the sky
if, when he is just about to kiss her, he
stops short aud asks her "how's her
motherp The rule is just as sure when
the girl has been eating onions
If he puts his arms around her like a
bear and almost smothers her when he
kisses her, they are not married. II he
comes up with his hands in his pockets
and gives her a tssteless smack, the
probabilities are that they are.
After all, what would a girl be with.
out lips9 She might be blind, and yet
be beautiful She might be bald, and
yet wear some other woman's hair. Eut
if she had no lips life would be desert
drear.

Ahead Of Bullets.

Colonel Bob Leech, says in the ArkGn-
SaSo 1rGDeIer: 81 don't know how fast an
engine can travel, but give you an idea
of how fast one did go. During the war
ran scouting engine for the Confed-
crate Government. 1t was my duty to
carry telegraph operator, who, at diff
ferent points, would cut the wires and
send dispatches. We were running at q
rapid rate one day, when, upon rounding
a curve, saw a thousand gun barrels
blaze in the sunlight. 1 also saw that a
number of cross-ties had been piled on
the track. To stop in time was an i'm
possibility, to go on seemed certain
death. for if we escaped being killed by
the wrecking of the engine we would be
shot to death, for we were regarded as
spies. / decided in a second what to do.
Telling my companion to lie down in the
tender, seized the throttle, and in loco
motive parlance threw her wide open.
The engine jumped like a rabbit. 1
threw myself fiat in the tender, expect
ing every second to be hurled to an awful
death. Bang, bang, bangl went the
guns. Then all was silent save the whir,
whir of the wheels. Could it be possible
that the engine had knocked off the OBJ
structionsG arose and looked out. We
had passed the enemy and scattered the
ties. My companion, as much astonished
as myself, got up. l looked back, and
just above the tender saw what took
to be swarm of big black flies
reached out and took hold of one. Ora
ciousl 1 then dicovered what they WERE
They were shower of bullets that the
enemy had fred after us. Well, we ran
along at this rate until the bullets all fell
behind" The gentlemen looked at one
another, but no one disputed the state
ment

HOGS, Bristles and Hair.

After the hogs are killed in the great
slaughter houses of Chicago, they are
dropped into cistern of boiling water,
where the hide is thoroughly scalded.
A machine then scrapes the hair and
bristles off before the meat is cut. The
hair and bristles are then separated, the
bristles dropping out readily on account
of their stiffness. They are taken to the
roofs of the houses and spread out 10 be
dried by the sun.
The hair is then loaded on wagons,
and taken out to the field prepared for
the purpose and dumped. There the men
with rakes begin their work of garden
ing. They spread the hair in layers as
thin and even as space will permit, shak-
ing it up to allow the hair to pass through
and to dry it thoroughly. Whatever
foreign matter, such as pieces of hide or
dirt, may be in the hair, generally drops
out when it is dry and is shaken well
with the rakes.
When the hair is dry it is taken back
to the packing house and put into a
steam press that makes compact bales of
comparatively small size. It is then sold
to the wholesale hair dealers by weight.
A single packing house in Chicago sends
out ten or twelve wagon loads to the
hair fields every day in summer. About
one pound of hair is taken from every
hog, and that is seven -eighths hair and
one -eighths bristles There were killed
and packed in all the packing-houses Of
Chicago, during the year ending March
/, 1866, nearly 5000, 900 hogs, yielding
nearly 2, 500 tons of hair and bristles
Some of the packing houses have ma
chimes to curl and comb the hair before
selling it, Most of the houses, however,
leave those processes to the hair dealers.
The hair is used principally for the up
hostering of furniture. It was sold last
year by the packers at four cents pound
wholesale, but is now sold at five cents
a pound. The bristles sell at from fifteen
to eighteen cents a pound.

WASHING THE DISHES.

She stood upon shady porch
Before milk-white table,
And DER her head arose-vine wreathed
The brown old fashioned gable.
A pretty cotton gown she wore.
With sleeves rolled up, displaying
/ er lovely arms, and on the breeze
Her curls were lightly straying.
This side cage Of ong-birds hung,
And that globe of fishes,
And butterflies few in and out
And lowered lovingly about
The maid that washed the dishes.
At first she dreamed not was near,
And never ceased her singing,
While through the shining bubbles fast
Her dainty mop went swinging.
But soon she spied me, and l heard
A little rill of laughter,
And straight my heart sprang to her side,
And sprang quickly after
And in a moment more I'd told
My love, my hopes, my wishes,
And marked her bright eyes brighter grow
And then work must be done, yon know
She washed, / wiped, the dishes

Says the sarcastic salt Lake City 7ri-
blne, Eastern journals are much dis
tresscd at the disappearance of the buff
falo. The writers of the lamentations
for bos Americdaus never saw a buffalo,
they never expect to see one; they have
no idea in the world why the buffalo
should not be destroyed; they have no
possible interest in the question; yet they
are perpetually regretting the disappear
ance of the buffalo 1t would puzzle
them TO tell anything the buffalo is good
for; stili less could they explain how the
country is to be inhabited by the whites
and the buffalo remain all they are con-
scious of is sort of lackless yearning for
something, they don't know what, and
buffalo strikes their fancy"

With tho earth buried deep in her shroud,

Inmy heart it was spring.

The song of bird overhead listen,
And look, and am dumb;

Cotton-seed oil the CuItioator says, is
the strongest competitor that lard, tallow,
olcomargarine and other fats and oils
have ever met. AS an adulterant of lard,
cotton-seed oil has forced the former
down to six and one-half cents per pound
in Chicago, the lowest price ever known
for lard. 1t is also largely used in soap
making everywhere, for cooking purposes
in the South, and as an adulterant of
olive oil in France. Cotton-seed oil has
evidently come to stay, and is destined to
play an important part in the economy of
the future, and in fixing lower range of
prices for other fat md oils.

Captain Lyle, of the United States
Ordnance Department has just returned
from Europe, whittier he was sent to ex-
anime the process OF manufacturing big
guns and armor plates. He received a
cold sort of courteous attention, and was
allowed to look outside of their manu-
featuring works, but they declined to al
low him to investigate the inside. The
captain complains bitterly of this dis
courteous treatment, because of the great
courtesy shown by our government to
English and other foreign officers visit
ing cur works. Minister West addresses
a note to the War or Navy Department
asking permission for officers of his gov
ernment to visit our works and arsenals,
which is readily given. When our Off
GERS ask for similar privileges in Europe,
especially in England, they are snubbed.
Captain Lyle says the only salvation for
our seacoast cities is big guns to prevent
ironclads from coming within range suf-
ficient to lombard our cities.

There arc now eleven guides appointed
to show visitors through the National
Capitol and explain its wonders. No
price is fixed for their services, and they
leave their fee to the generosity of the
visitor, generally receiving fair COM
pensatlon for the long tramp through the
building and stereotyped descriptive
speeches. Many members employ guides
TO take their constituents over the build
ing, as they have not the time, and
cheerfully pay rather than be troubled
with the tiresome task. One of the
guides, Ben njamin Stewart, of Virginia,
was brought up on President Madisons
homestead, and has a-fund of anecdote
about Madison, Monroe, Jefferson and
the other magnates of the Old Domin-
ion. The stories told by the guides about
esme of those to whom they show the
Capitol and its inmates are very amusing.

The Picnic.

The picnic is an ancient institution,
but it has reached its full-blown maturity
on American soil. With all its big bugs
and little bugs and red bugs and hum
bugs it comes to US like water in thirsty
land, like a benediction of rest to the
weary. It is better than the ball with
its full dress and its flirting, amid lamps
above and laughter below. 1t is better
than the religious festival so common in
the great cities Of the North, when a
man is robbed to the sound of sacred
music and eats oysters for charity at a
dollar a dozen. r. Columbus GAO En-
