Story of an Lueiyt-tic Wonnui. The New York correspondent of the

Doylettown Intelligencer writes : Perhaps the citizens of your county will be inter­ested in some account of Miss King— our new Amerioan tea importer—and her adventurous trip to the Celestial Empire some fifteen months ago. I t will be remembered the metropolitan press announced* the departure of a sin­gle lady, who had just started on a busi­ness mission to China. From the first the enterprise was made piquantly in­teresting by a sort of mystery regarding her plans and ultimate designs. I t was known that she was going alone, and that she was going for tea; it was even intimated that this first bold step would prove but the initiative in a grand com­mercial experiment, but beyond that the community was kept most provokingly in the dark. The lady said' her fare­wells and took up her journey, while people pondered in amazement over the novel expedition. A year and three months have passed, and she is again among us, after a most interesting ex­cursion around the world. And now, since the trip was a successful one, the result of which enables the original pro­ject to be put into execution, the ban of Becrecy is removed, the history of the whole enterprise is laid bare, and ap­proving listeners are oalled upon to ap­plaud this noble effort on the part of one woman to open up a fresh avtnue of commerce for the benefit of her sex.

The name of Susan King is widely known throughout the city. She is now a rich woman, but when she came here, many years ago, she brought only a gui­tar in her hand and twenty-five cents in her pocket. Yet even at that early age her remarkable enterprise was apparent. She put up at the best hotel the city then boasted of, and started out at once in search of music scholars, so represent­ing her case to the families called upon, that within twenty-four hours she had engaged her class, received payment in advance, and TBtumed to her hotel in a carriage with forty-six dollars in her pocket. The best points in the under­taking, however, remain to be told. Though representing herself as a profes­sor of music, and the originator of a spe­cial theory of instruction, she had in tact so limited a knowledge of the science as to be obliged to hire a teacher to carry out her plans, and was the first, as well as the last, to institute a method of mu­sical instruction by proxy. This little incident will convey an idea of the pe­culiar character of the woman. Her fifty years of active life have been spent in money making. Business is her spe­cialty. She has dealt largely in real es­tate and is now a millionaire. The en­terprise which promises to lend new lus­tre to her name found its projector in Madame Demorest of fashion celebrity. On the suggestion of Miss King this lady conceived the idea of putting her friend's money to a good use. Many things were thought of and talked of, but as readily disposed of because of their impracticability. The question,

• " What would furnish profitable employ­ment to the greatest number of wo-

, men Y" was repeated over and over again, and finally found its solution in anaost feminine way—at £he bottom of a good cup of tea. The decision was arrived at on Thursday ot one week and by Mon­day of the next Miss King had taken out her letters of credit, bought ten thou­sand dollars' worth of gold for travel­ling expenses, and set out on her soli­tary way. Arrived at San Francisco,

.. she,$pjui& afpw wesks there in learning what she could of the country for which she was bound, and then set sail for Yokohama.

Her letters of introduction carried her, of course, into the highest circles ot Eng-

' lish-speakitig Japan, She at once en­tered the home of Sir Harry Parks, the British minister, who, with his wife, ex­pressed the.most cordial sympathy with her undertaking, and offered to do ev­erything in his power to assist her. Sii Harry offered her a military escort of two hundred men in her journey through the interior of the country, but refusing all guardianship or protection she took her sedan chair and coolie servants, and went forth alone. As ignorant of the topography as of the language of the country,her situation would seem to pic­ture itself a decidedly embarrassing one; but the woman who had baffled poverty Etnd overcome the hardships of younger days, was not to be daunted now. She quickly perceived that to assimilate her­self to the natives was her safest method of procedure. To be sure fish oil and rats were not the most tempting articles of food, nor did a seat on the floor with chop-sticks in hand, suggest very much of the refinement of home *, yet all of these became possible in time, and aa a consequence she was permitted to pene­trate regions never before trodden by stranger feet. In many places this ven­turesome womau was received as a di­vine impersonation. They worshipped her, they offered her every honor con­ceivable to their bewildered minds, and followed her through the streets of their cities in such dense throngs that she was once or twice obliged to implore the in­terference of the magistrate to prevent her from suffocation. Presents and gor­geous entertainments were forced upon her at every stopping place. In short, she became the object of universal in­terest and admiration. Herself an ad­venturer and meeker after curiosities, she became the most curious of all, and for once, at least, since the days of Confu­cius, a woman succeeded in awakening the profound attention of the Celestials. The tomb of Confucius, by the way, was a most interesting point in Miss King's pilgrimage. But the chief object of this mission is not to be lost sight of. The purchase of teas began with the earliest opportunity, and continued until she finally embarked on her homeward voy­age, by the Cape of QOJA Hope and At­lantic Ocean. Besides making arrange­ments for a supply of any amount of the best quality that is grown, she hag plant­ed a '«grove " of her own, from which she expects in four years to get her first crop. Meanwhile she has brought with her seventeen tons of samples. "The Woman's American Tea Company" is fast getting into shape. A warehouse.to be located on Broadway, between Tenth and Twenty-third streets, is being nego­tiated for, and in the course of two or three months this establishment will open its doors to a host of enterprising women. I t is designed to employ a corps of travelling agents at a generous salary, while it is presumed that the trade of the city will require a goodly number of employees, every one of whom is to be a woman, Projeoted, nurtured, and car­ried out solely by the fair sex, it is pro­posed to make this enterprise in every sense a fair one. Fair salesmen, fair tea, and fair prices: the very best the mar­ket affords, " pure and unadulterated, at $1.50 per pound."

Advice to Writers. " Oris " gives the following truly phi­

losophic advice to people who have an inkling for the pen :

I received the other day the following toote of inquiry:

DEAR 8IK:—I think 1 have got a tallunt Into me to write. I want to try it, .but don't know how to bu^in. Yu, I no, huv had epuri-ause. Will yu plese write and give me infor-inashun on the following pinus, two wit, namely—

What to rite on, _ When to rite. Where to write. How to rite. How much to rite. What to rite for. With any other hint on the subject that may

occur to you. Your truly, AMBISHUN.

I am always gratified to be able to im­part any information in my power to one about to begin to write, although he may never begin to write with me. Struggling genius I am prone to encour­age. I am not like some in the profes­sion who keep all they know about writing so closely to themselves that poor people would not suspect they knew anything about it. As far as writing is concerned, chirographic pugilist that I am, I always stand ready to "let go my write."

" What I write on." I generally write on a table or desk. I prefer a desk when I want to desk-ant profoundly. Some of my desk-antics are fearfully and won­derfully made.

Don't try to write on a multiplication table, unless you are a complete master of figures, especially figures of speech. I have frequently written on my Knees, but I am aware that many people have a repugnance to getting on their knees, either to write, or to do anything else.

There may be occasions when you will be compelled to write on the top of your hat, but it hurts one's (s)tyle lo do it habitually.

Literary men often affect eccentrici­ties regarding what they write on. Shel­ley, I believe, wrote his " Shell(ie)s of Ocean" on his thumb nail. Byron wrote on gin, and Edgar A. Poe wrote on a drunk.

" When to rite." Write when you feel like it, but be sure you feel like it. Some people think they feel like it when they dont, which produces a good deal of suf­fering among readers. I would lay it down as a general rule for young men of " ambition " like yours, when you can't find any employment that will pay for your salt, then write.

" Where to rite." That depends a good deal on where she is. If she is in Chica­go, it would be manifestly absurd to write to Montreal.

" How to rite." Is it possible that in this land of common schools there is any young man who doesn't know how to write Y You should consult a writing muster and not me, ^gjMMsjsMsjMBjgMi

A Clergyman's Workshop. A correspondent of the Commercial Ad­

vertiser gives this description of the workshop of the Bev. John Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass.:

In one room a well-stocked library with rare books, ancient and modern, in different languages. In the centre of the room is a rippling fountain, and ar­ticles of beauty from kindly donors, with relics of the war. In this study the hand of the owner is seen in elegant book cases made by himself, beautiful picture frames from his own workshop, and little ^adornments turned from his own latLei to adorn a room*where so many hours of brain work are expended.

Directly opposite is another room ot entirely different character. Here is the veritable " C'ongregationalut lathe" pro­cured from the proceeds of his contribu­tions to that paper, and so most aptly named, while another lathe, of great value, elegant and beautiful, is greatly prized by the owner, who points out its various graces with the enthusiasm of a collector of gems. Here is a collection of saws and screws, and clamps and planes, and vices and gouges, and man­drels, and other tools, that would con­fuse any but a born mechanician, while snelves of acids and chemicals for polishing, with delicate anvils and tools of great variety, are kept in perfect or­der. One of the lathes appliances per­forms two thousand revolutions in a minute, and is as delicate and graceful in its movements as the sweep of a bird through the air. If a tool is wanted for special use, the fertile brain of the Doc­tor invents it, and his skilled hand brings it out of the rudest elements.

He has a great variety of beautiful woods from different parts of the world, and a steam engine so petite and fairy like as to call forth commendations from the dullest looker on. Everything is arranged so systematically that the own­er could put his hand 6n anyone of over a thousand tools in the dark.

A Million Strokes in a Month. A wager lately came off, the terms of

which were as follows : " I will bet any man £100 that he cannot make a million strokes with pen and ink within a month." They were not to be mere dots and scratches, but fair down strokes, such as form the child's first lesson in writing. A gentleman accepted the challenge. The month allowed was the lunar month of only tw«mty-eight days, to that, for the completion of the under­taking, an average of 36,000 strokes per diem was required. This at 60 per min­ute, or 3,600 per hour—and neither the human intellect nor the human hand can be expected to do more—would call for ten hours' labor in every twenty-four. With a proper respect for the Sabbath, the gentleman determined to abstain from his work on Sundays, and by this determination diminished by four days the period allowed him ; at the same time, by so doing, he increased the daily average of his strokes to upward of 41.000. On the first day he executed ,10,000; on the second day nearly as many. But at length, after many days, his Land became stiff and weary, the wrist swollen, and, without interrupting its progress over the paper, it required the almost constant attendance of some friend to besprinkle it with a lotion cal­culated to relieve and invigorate it. On the twenty-third day the million strokes, exceeded by some few thousands, " to make assurance doubly sure," were accomplished. These interesting papers are not placed in the archives of the Koyal Society, of which the gentleman is a Fellow, but were claimed and re­ceived by the person who paid the wa­ger.—tendon Paper.

T H E BIBI/E IJT CHINESE.—The Chinw Recorder says that the Committee of Protestant Missionaries at Pekin, who have for some time been engaged in pre­paring a revised edition of the Bible in Chinese, have nearly completed their labors, and that the revised text will shortly be published by th« American Mission press, within the walls of the capital.

Twenty-two Years In Prison. A publishing house in Vienna has just

issued a curiously interesting volume— the story of Leonora Christina, Countess Ulfeldt, who endured imprisonment for twenty-two years. The Countess gives her own narrative in the form of a diary, and it is now published for the first time, with an introduction by Herr Ziegler, the editor of the volume. The events described took place nearly two centuries ago, but they have never been fully known till now. The long captivi­ty of the Countess, it appears, was owing to the personal spite of Sophia Amelia, the wife of Frederick the Third, King of Denmark. Whether it be teat this Queen envied the beauty and ac complishinents of the Countess Ulfeldt, and her husband's influence with the King, or that the Countess Ulfeldt, as a Danish historian states, bad offended the Queen by trying on the crown that was being made for her, and letting it fall on the floor so that one of the large jewels was broken, the conduct of the Queen can bear but one interpretation. The Danish historian who records the auecdote about the crown, says that it shows the Queen was not so bitter against the Countess without a cause, although it must be admitted that her anger was carried too far. The rage of the Queen when she found that her son had promised to set the Countess free after only eight years' imprisonment, and the exercise of her influence, by which she was able to prolong the im­prisonment till her own death, betray the existence of some personal motive.

The Countess Leonora was one of the daughters of Christian the Fourth, King of Denmark, by a morganatic marriage. She became the wife of Corfitz Ulfeldt, who, after a stormy youth, passed in variou? countries and services, had taken a high position at the Danish Court. The prosperity of Ulfeldt and his wife was not disturbed for some time after the accession of Frederick the Third. But though the new King nad full con­fidence in the former favorite, the new Queen began from the first to intrigue against him. The Athenasum sums up the narrative thus: A plot was organ­ized By her means in order to accuse Corfitz and his wife of intending to poison the King, and though the accusa­tion recoiled on the heads of the sub­ordinate instruments, some suspicion re­mained. The King was gradually es­tranged from Corfitz Ulfeldt, one dif­ference led to another, and at leneth Ulfeldt resigned his offices and left the country. His estates were at once con­fiscated, and he was deprived of all his dignities; while in revenge for such treatment he went to Stockholm, where his services were gladly accepted by Queen Christina.

For some time after this Corfitz Ul­feldt proved a dangerous enemy to Den­mark. At his instigation the successor of Queen Christina made war on Den­mark, and the daring march of the Swedes on the ice across the Great Belt, which led to the Peace of Roeskilde, was entirely suggested by Ulfeldt. By this peace the Danes had to surrender twelve ships of war, besides several pieces of territory, and one of the articles of the treaty was, that all Count Ulfeldfs estates were to be restored. The victory, however, bore no lasting fruits. The Danes were naturally incensed with Ulfeldt, and Queen Sophia Amelia man­aged to instil suspicion into the mind of the King of Sweden.

Some time afterward charges of treach­ery were brought against him by the Swedes, he was confined in a fortress, and tried for high treason. Acquitted of this, he was secretly informed by his Danish enemies that the verdict was ad­verse to him, and under this impression he fled from Sweden to Denmark, where he and his wife were instantly imprison­ed. The amnesty granted them at Boeskilde was set at naught, and it was not till after six months of cruel and brutal treatment that they regained their liberty by an absolute submission. Released from prison with the loss of raoRt of his estates, and with enfeebled health, Count Ulfeldt received permis­sion to travel in Germany, where he died.

Leonora Christina in the meanwhile had been sent by her husband to Eng­land to seek for aid from Charles the Second. During his own exile the re­stored King had been under great obli­gations to Count Ulfeldt, and was still indebted to him in a large sum of money. But it was not easy to get at Charles; and although when the Countess Ul. feldt had an interview with him he was very friendly, and promised to pay his debt, he did not keep his word. After waiting a long time without any result, the Countess started for the Continent, but before this the Danish Government had heard of her being in England, and had made application to Charles for her arrest.

As this seemed the most convenient way of paying his debt, and as, more­over, he had given the Countess a safe conduct, Charles got rid at once of his obligation and his promise, and allowed the Danish Ambassador to take her in custody. She was sent to Copenhagen, and confined in the blue tower of the royal palace, where she remained for twenty-two years. With this her diary begins, and is continued through her captivity. I t is remarkable for the minute detail in which all the events of daily life are narrated, and for the ex­treme frankess with which a Countess and daughter of a King enters into mat­ters which are generally kept secret. The insults to which Countess Ulfeldt was exposed, the occupations she de­vised for herself, her relations with thoso who waited on her, her .occasional peeps from the window, and her vague im­pressions of what was passing in the outer world, occupy almost the whole record.

How to Enjoy Uootl Health and a Long Life.

To secure a clear, frcKh skin, bright eye, active limbs, a quick brain, and a cheerful, pleasant temper, and if you would enjoy a long life, you ateild live about as follows:

milk and

FARM AND HOl'SEHOUh

BREAK PAST. Oat meal porridge, with

sugar. Or, Graham mush, with a little good

syrup. Or, cracked wheat, with milk and

sugar. Or, baked potatoes, with bread and

butter. Or, beef steak or muttou chop, with

baked potatoes and bread and butter. If you are thin, and need fat, use the

first three; if you are too fa't, use the last-named two.

Drink cold water, or a little weak coffee.

DINNER. Beef or mutton, roasted or stewed,

with any vegetables you may like (though tomatoes should be used very sparingly), good bread and butter, and close the meal with a glass of weak lemonade. Eat no dessert, unless it be a little fruit, and eat nothing more till the next morning.

There is no rule in regard to diet about which I am so fixed in my con­victions as that nothing should be eaten after dinner, and I think that the dinner should be taken early in the day; not later, if it can be so managed; than two o'clock. In regard to the precise hour for the dinner, I am not so clear, though for myself one o'clock is the best hour ; but in reference to the omission of the third meal, I have, after long observa­tion, no doubt whatever.

Hundreds of persons have come to me with indigestion in some of its many forms, and have experienced such relief in a single week from omitting the sup­per, that I have, for a number of years, depended upon this point in. the diet, as the best item in my prescriptions for in­digestion. I have never met the person suffering from indigestion, who was not greatly relieved at once, by omitting the third meal.

Eat nothing between meals, not even an apple or peach. If you eat friiit, let it be with the breakfast and dinner.

Cooked fruit is best for persons of weak digestion. I have met hundreds of people who would digest a large beef steak without a pang, but who could not manage a single uncooked apple.*

I think certain dietetic reformers have somewhat overrated the value of fruit.

Avoid cake, pie, all sweetmeats, nuts, raisins, and caudies.

Manage your stomach as above, and at thb end of ten years you will look back upon these table habits as the source of great advantages and happi­ness.

For thirty years I have been a con­stant and careful observer (I have no hobbies about diet), and in the light of my own experience and these long ob­servations, I assure you that the table habits I have advised, are vital to your health and happiness. ^

Pimples, blotcheB, yellow S M , nasal catarrh, biliousness, liver torpirMy, con­stipation, sleepiness, dullness, low spirits, and many other common affections would generally disappear with the adoption of these rules.—Dio Lewis, in " Our dirk."

English Synonym?. The copiousness of the English tongue,

as well as the difficulty of acquiring the ability to use its immense vocabulary correctly, is well exhibited in the follow­ing array of synonymous words ; which, if not new, is yet a capital illustration of the nice distinctions which character­ize so many of our vocables. I t is no wonder that.we slip occasionally, even the wariest of us. " A little girl was looking at the picture

of a number of ships, when she exclaimed, " See, what a flock of ships!" We cor­rected her by saying that a flock of ships is called a fleet, and that a fleet of sheep is called a flock.

And here we may add for the benefit of the foreigner who is mastering the in­tricacies of our language in respect to nouns of multitude, that a flock of girls is called a bevy, that a bevy of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host, and a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of partridges is called a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is called a horde, and a horde of rubbish is-called a heap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of black­guards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is oalled a school, and a school of worshippers is called a congregation, and a congregation of engineers is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is called a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd, and a crowd of gentlefolks is called the elite, and the elite of the city's thieves and rascals are called the roughs, and the miscellaneous crowd of the city folks is called the community, or the public, according as they are spoken of by the religious community or the secular public— American Educational Monthly.

DANGER OF RAISINQ FAST HORSES — The Rural New Yorker states the follow­ing Case, to enforce some sensible advice to farmers, suggested, w«. presume, by the display of horses, which is fast be­coming the most attractive feature of our agricultural shows:

" A well-to-do fanner of our acquaint­ance had the misfortune to rear a really fine horse. The action of the animal gave him great delight, and nothing would do but an exhibition of him among the professionals. He put up his money and won. This gave a bolder flight to his imagination, and induced a greater operation. .Success rewarded his ventures. He neglected his farm, imperceptibly acquired habits to which he had before been a stranger, and spur­red on by past success, and the machi­nations of the crafty, whose aim is to fleece the green and unwary, placed his farm in jeopardy for the purpose of rais­ing money to stake on the result of a race in which his pet horso was to con­tend for the prize and mastery. The professionals had now got the over-con­fident farmer in the preoise position they desired, and the result wasw what they intended it should be, the defeat of the farmer's horse and the ruin of its owner. The animal changed hands, and so did the farm. I t was all down hill with the farmer after this. His family was broken up and dispersed, while he, reckless and maddened by disappoint­ment and remorse, found a premature grave."

PEAR RAISING.—To read the many statements in the horticultural journals as to the variety ot pears worthy of cul­tivation, many would be led to believe that it makes but little difference what kind of pears are planted, as they are all equally good, equally productive and equally hardy. We are well awiif e that some varieties will do much better in-one location and one particular kind of soil .than in another; but.the sweeping way in which some writers speak of the good quality of the most ordinary pears, is enough to mislead and disappoint those who look to our standard publications for practical information. The truth is there are very few good varieties that can be successfully cultivated every­where.

A number of years ago we set out some trees specially recommended, by one of our best authorities, and they have proved next to worthless. Among these we can enumerate Clairgeau, Hen­ry IV., Nova Poiteau, Washington, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Vicar of Wink-field, Triomphe de Iodoigne, Duchess d'Angouleme, Nirgalien, Winter Nelis, Marie Louise, Paradise d'Automue, to­gether with several other kinds which proved to be not true to name and were unknown to horticulturists. I t is much better for those setting out fruit trees to select only a few varieties, and those known to suit the locality, as well as hardy and productive, and of the most desirable quality.— Girmantown Tele­graph.

JUDGING SOIL BY TIMBER.—Almost any one knows that the quality^of soil may in a great measure be determined by the timber which grows upon it, but of the exact nature indicated by the primitive trees people are not so well posted. Mr. J. B. Smith, of Patmos, Ohio, writes to tho New York Farmers' Club of this matter, and says that white-oak land is poor; that red-oak and soft mapl<> also indicates poor land; that shell-bark mostlygrows in cold,wet land; that fiat beech and sugar lands are good for summer crops and grass, but not for wheat; that rolling beech and sugar lands, where large poplar and black wal­nut abound, are fine grazing lands, and produce, when new, large crops of all kinds of grain except wheat, where it is winter-killed; that large white oaks and chestnut growing together, and black oak and hickory, indicate a loose sub­soil ; and that lands where the water soon sinks into the sub-soil are much the most valuable for grain ; that a soil that will raise large crops of all kinds of grain, and then clover and timothy, and after they run or.t will come in with green grass and white clover, is the best. —Ohio Farmer.

An Act or Justice. D.nibting Castle VIM a had stumbling

block in the path of Banyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets us when we are asked to believe anything particularly extraordinary. Consequently, when we first heard, some eighteen months ago, that a physician in California had com­pounded, from the juices and extracts of certain herbs found in that wonderful region, a medicine that cured almost ev­ery human disease, w< were incredulous. Siuce then we have h id opiioi unities of testing the accuracy of this uport,- and are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Sating what we have seen, knowing what we know, it is impossible for us to question the general, nay, the all but universal, remedial properties of DR. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS. That this famous vegetable Tonic, Alterative, and Antiseptic, is a specific for Dyspep­sia, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipa­tion, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermit­tent*, Scrofulous Taint in the Blood, Iu-cipient Consumption, Local arid Gen eral Dtbility, Rheumatism, trek Head­ache, and Diseases of theKiki.eys, seems to be a matter beyond tho pale of con­troversy—a fixed fact in medkal history. The statements of friends, in whose ve­racity and int. lligence we have full con­fidence, corroborated in many instances by our own personal observation, com­pels us, skeptical as we arc by tempera­ment and disposition, to admit tho sur­passing merits of the preparation, and we do so without reserve.

When the roughs of Pioche, inNtvu,da, recently began to inipcrt Henry rifles by the case, the respectable inhabitants came to the conclusion that it was time to organize a vigilance eommittt'e. Some hanging and a lively emigration has been the result.

I t is a great mistake to suppose that the cause_of rheumatism, neuralgia and gout exists where the pain is experi­enced. The source of theae diseases is generally urea in the blood, and it is one of the special properties of DR. WALK­ER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTERS to neutralize this deposit, while it renovates the relaxed kidneys, and thus prevents them from permitting a portion of their secretion to escape though improper channels. Torpidity of the stomach nas also much to do with the vitiation of the blood, and upon this organ the Bit­ters act directly as a stimulant and in-vigorant.

Base ball is undoubtedly good exer­cise and capital amusement, but it often occasions bunged eyes, broken shins and blistered hands. We can tell you that in all such cases ii" Johnnon's Anodyne Lini­ment is resorted to, it will reduca the swelling and stop the pain.

VERY PERSONAL.—A correspondent of the Tribute writes from Chicago that any rutin in that qneer town who IIAH confidence in his luck begiiiB to build his tower without counting the cost, RIKI trusts to his luck to help him through. The enterprises succeed la nine cases out of ten, and this is the style of the local talk : " Where did Brown get his last, loan? I see he's at work again." "He got hold of some Down-K<»ster or other." " Jones is all right with his block. He's a man that knows how to shin when he's short. Ho can get money, sir, if it's anywhere on this planet."

PLANTING! FALL BULKS.—Tho Uar-dtner'x Monthly says: " As soon in the fall as bulbs can b8 obtained, they should be planted—though this will not generally be the case till October—but it is well to bear in mind that tho earlier they are planted the liner they will flower." beedsmen will soon be on hand with their bulbs. There have been ex­tensive arrangements made by them for the fall trade, and announcements will soon be in order.

The Germantown Telegraph says ; " In setting ont tulips be caretul not to make the soil too rich. Hyacinths require heavy manuring—tulips not, or they will not thrive well, and produce inferi­or flowers. The beginning of November is the best time to plant bulbs gener­ally.

A TURKISH BATH HTOUY.—A Wis­consin paper, the Oshkosh Northwestern, says: " A gentleman from near B^eveus Point, Ole O. Wogiland, whose weight was 300 pounds, and a lady residing in Oshkosh, Mrs. Dougherty, who has been reduced by disease and drugs to less than fifty pounds in weight, are both taking Turkish baths in this city. The gentle-manias being reduced at the rate of one pound per day, and the lady increased at the tame rate.

Travelling Stones, Many of our readers have doubtless

henrd of the fmirbuB travelling stones of Australia. Himilar cariosities have re­cently been found in Nevada, which are described as almost perfectly-round, the majority of them BS large as a walnut, and of an irony nature. When distribut­ed about upon the floor, table, or other level surface, within two or three feet of each other, they immediately begun travelling toward a common centre, and then huddled up in a bunch like a lot of «ggs it* a nest. A single stone, re­moved tn the distance of three and ahalf feet, U|iiin being released »t once started off, with wonderful and somewhat comi­cal celerity, to join its fellows; taken away,four or live feet, it remained mo-

that is compar itively level, and is noth ing but bare rock. Scattered over this barreu region are little basins, from a few feet to » rod or two in dtameter.and it is in the bottom of these that tha roll­ing stones are found. They are from the sise of a pea to five or six inches in diameter. The cause of these stones roll­ing together is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are com­posed, which appears to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore.
