He says he noticed it as soon as he smelt it, and thus relates the se- Didn’t wish to terrify the family by the ostentatious display of cholera precau tions of an extraordinary nature, so we took our patent deodorizer home secretly concealed under our coat. Terrible com motion in the street car. The windows were thrown up hastily, haadkerohiefa applied furiously to noses, and a general application of camphor gum, of which each one had a supply m his pocket. Profane fellows swore at the Board of Health for not cleaning the streets. One was sure ifc was in the gutters; another thought it was in the air ; a toper, half drunk, said ho war satisfied that it was in the water. A gloomy man eyed us suspiciou sly, and said he thought it was in the car. With a wild yell, all the passengers jumped up at once and tumbled out, leaving us alone, and leaving us monarch of all we deodorized. Got into the house unperoeived, and deposited the disinfectant in the cellar, and then hurried back the office. There was a good deal of it about our clothes, somuch so that one or two men who owed us borrowed money avoided ns al together. Felt emotions in the regions of the stomach that were disagreeably suggestive. Got a little alarmed, and concluded to deodorize tlie disinfectant, which we did with a glass of brandy. Felt a little better ourself, but began to be alarmed about the effect of that disinfect ing compound upon the family. Hurried homo—found tho house shut up, and no body in. Terrible smell about the house —neighbors all terrified. Asked one of them where my family wa*s, and he said they had gone down to tlie bone-boiling district to get out of the sm ell! Opened the door, but had to close it again, tho smell was so bad. Went around to the back yard, and saw the rats leav ing in great precipitation. A neighbor suggested that a candle bo lowered down the chimney, to test the foulness of the air before the house was opened. Saloons in the neighborhood doing an immense busine.ss in the sale of brandy and whis ky. Flannel belts in demand. A coun- trywomau with a tload of watermelons, driven Ijiick and mobbed.

ArPiBS AS AN A rticle op D iet __ An exchange, in alluding to the use of the apple says; Let every housekeper lay in a good supply of apples, and it will bo the most economical investment in the whole range of culinatics, A raw, mel low apple is digested in an hour and a hours. The most healthy desert that be placed on the table is a baked ap - pie. If eaten frequently at breakfast, with course bread and butter, without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an ad mirable effect on the general system, often removing constipation, correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile condi tions more effectually than the most ap proved medicines. If families could be induced to substitute apples, sound and ripe, for pies, cakes and sweet meats, with which their children are too fre quently stuffed, there would be a dimuni tion in the sum total of doctor’s bills in a single year sufficient to lay in a stock of this delicious fruit fur the whole season’s A C ourageous F e . male .—A courageous woman, some eotnings since, calhng at tho residence of a friend, found a party engaged in playing a game of cards. Actuated by al lor the cause of good morals and re ligion, she seized the cards and threw them into the fire. Then, turning to the party, she warned them of their danger, and ex horted them to repent and change their course of life. This scone so impressedUer that she went at once to the rooms of an Irishman who had formerly been a preacher and besought him to establish religious meetings, and to form a class for those who might be induced to join with him. After some hesitation he consented to do so.— Thus was Methodism established on this continent. This scene occurred one hund red years ago, in the city of New York.— The name of our heroine was Barbara HecK —that of the Irish preacher was Philip Em bury. From this feeble and unpromising beginning tho Methodist church has become numerically tho largest Protestant church in America. T he L ion ’ s R oar .-—A point where imagi nation has Wrought wonders is in the mat ter of the lion’s voice. This fancy has been demolished by Dr. Livingstone. “To talk of themaj estic voice of tho lion, ” he writes, “is merely so much majestic twaddle. I have never found any one who could fairly distinguish between the roar of the lion and that of the ostrich, although the former ap pears to proceed more from the chest. To this day,” he adds, “ I am unable to disting uish one from tho other, except by knowing that the former roars by night and the lat ter by day only.\ Jules Gerard is, however, more enthusias tic in his appreciation of the vocal powers of his favorite. He remarks that the sound of a lion’s voice a league off appears to an inexperienced as if close at hand; and that has frequently tracked lions at a distance of three leagues (nine miles) by the sound of their voices; he also testifies to a certain musical grandeur in the .sound. A charity scholar, under examination in the Psalms, being asked, “What is tho pestilence that walketh in the darkness ?” replied, “Please, sir, bedbugs.” How S nuff is M ade .— The.process of the manufacture of snuff is about as follows The leaf is stripped from the stem in large ing all that crispness which It originally had. Prom the drying kiln it is taken td & strong screw press, and placed in an oblong box, where it is pressed until it becomes a solid block. This is dop^ that it may pre sent a hard, unyielding sufface to theknives of the cutter, beneath'’which it is next placed. Each manufacturer who possesses a cutter has to give sectfilty to the amount of $8,000 for the paymeiittof his producing The tobacco is cut coarsely by this ma chine, from which it is tj^en to the drying floors above. Here it is 4>read in a heap to ferment,, a process that requires about a month to perfect. The g j g |t |^ u t l o n and attention are required Y ||fl^ ^ H |i:a t e to keep it from spoiling; l^ ^ ^ ^ ^ p y e y e r , the nearer you can with out actually doing so, t h ^ m U P ^ m be. It has to be turned and raoV^l^onstautly until it is thorougbly fermented, when it is taken down stairs again and put through the mill. This mill consists of a series of conical hoppers, called “mulls,” in which are placed four vertical iron rollers, which act as mill-stones m grinding the tobacco. The manufacturer has to give security in the sum of ono thousand dollars for each ‘ ‘mull, ’' also to insure the payment of his tax to the government. The tobacco comes out of the “mulls” in. the shape of what is called “coarse meal,’ the grains being about twice the size of coarse Indian meal. After being wet and manipulated this becomes “Rappee” snuff without ft Rappee further grinding, and is the cheapest kind. Tho whole mass is then put into bar rels in a perfectly cool condition. It has no smell or flavor whatever. Aftor remaining in the barrels for a short time it becomes heated, and in the course of ten days or two weeks it is taken out, with a high flavor and great strength. Salt is then mixed with it to cool it down and keep it. If ‘ ‘Scotch’ ’ snuff is desired it is made perfectly dry,and ground in the mill again to make it of a finer grain. This is the whole mystery of snuff-making. O rigin of P lants .-— Odery originated in Germany, 'The chestnut came from Italy. The onion originated in Egypt. Tobacco is a native of Virginia.

D ireotions foe S portsmen . —As the sporting season is now in full blast, the fol lowing valuable suggestions Will not be considered out of place by the sporting fraternity; To break a dog take a clothes line of the ordinary length, tie it round his collar and attach the other end to a windlass under your arm. When a bird is flushed, shot at and killed or missed, wind him into charge. If after trying the rope and windlass the dog proves incorrigible, and you can’t break him; break his neck. To ascertain if your gun is loaded put your toot^n the hammer and blow in the mu'zzle, lotting the hammer slip from under the foot and descend with smart force on the nipple. If tho gun is Idaded you will be notified of the fact. When two birds meet together, and you miss both, left and right, whale the dog. It has a good effect.
