Stationery In the ronfouenu-y.
Reminiscence of books and papers of
the period recalls the dire and unfilled
want of every species of stationery In
each household, and the rough devices
which were resorted to for supplying
such deficiencies. It was a time when
any individual who wished to use an en
velope might be compelled first to make
it, after tlie theory of "first catch your
bat," 1 ta The manner of their making
was to cut them out of paper by a tm or
pasMboafd pattern, and fasten the tlais
either with gluo manufactured from the
gum of the cherry tree, or with ordinary
flour paste. Old desks and secretaries
were ransacked, and frequently not un
successfully, for tho red wafers or the
sealing wax of an earlier date. Even
tho most stylish and fashionablo note
japer for correspondence had an ex
tremely unstylish texture, to say nothing
of its hue. that ill couiorted with the
red wax staniod with a crested coat of
arms. The juice of poke berries, com
IKiunded with vinegar, or the distillation
of a vegetable product known as "ink
lialLs," Usurped the place of ink, and
faded from its original purple or crimson
color with great rapidity to ono of ugly
rust.
Steel jiens were scarcely to lie had for
love or Confederate money, and the for
gotten accomplishment of trinuaing a
gray goose quill to a good nib came to be
once wore an accomplishment with an
ascertained value. Tho mucilage on the
lacks of the ill engraved blue 10 sent
stain, adorned with the head of Jeffer
son Davis, often failed of its purpose;
and the fingers, which were not infre
quently tired enough after cutting out
mid making the envelope, trimming the
pen and writing tho letter, must need
still go through tho labor of separating
the stumps from each other with a pair
of scissors or a penknife, and applying
flour paste to the back of tho recalci
trant stamp, to insure tho safe carriage
of tho missive of affection to tho far
away soldier whose eyes might never read
it. The boys of that day, bereft of pen
cils, made them for themselves by melting
bullets and pouring tho molten lead into
tho cavity of small reeds from tho cane
brakes. Trimmed to a x)int tho home

a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture
without striking the surrounding fence.
The sense of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, when loosened
from the stable, go directly to tho gate or
bars opened to their accustomed feeding
grounds, and when desiring to return,
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish the one outlet and patiently
await its opening, Tho odor of that par

observed that tho most perfect art could

produce &o strong an illusion. Like Pliny
and Pausanius, ho consequently affirms
that "in casting the statue a magician
had thrown Hippotna&ef upon it," which
by tho odor of the plant deceived the
horses, and therein we liavo the secret of
the miracle. The scent alono of a buffalo
ro!o will cause many horses to evince
lively terror, and tho floating scent of a
railroad train will frighten somo long

thorn as single charms, or, if there be a
sufficient number, havo them set medal

'NERVOUS" MODERN CIVILIZATION.
The
Suhject' aa Viewed by Writer
li
Far Cathay No Ket.
It is a very significant aspect of mod
ern civilization which is expressed in the
word 'nervous." Its original moaning
is "possessing nerve; sinewy, strong,
vigorous." One of its derivative mean
ings, and the one which we by far most
frequently meet, is "having the nerves
weak or diseased: nbjeot to, or suffer
ing from unduo excitement of the nerves;
easily excited; weakly." The Varied
and complex phraseology by which the
paouliar phases of nervous disease are
tXpreMd has beOOUM by this lime fa
miliar in our ears as household words.
There is no doubt that civilization, as
exhibited in its modern form, tends to
undue nervous excitement, and that ner
vous diseases are relatively more common
than they were a century ago. Hut
trhet we have now to Ray does not con
cern those who are specially subject to
nervous diseases, but to the general mass
of (Vei lental-. who. while not in any
specific condition of ill health, are yet
continually reminded, in a great variety
if wavs. that their nervous lYtteUV are
a ni'isl conspicuous part of their organ
ization. We allude, in short, to people
who ate nervous, ami we understand
this term to Include all our readers, and,
in general, all the (icople who live in the
lands I'rom which we have come. To
the Anglo-Saxon race at least it seems a
; matter of course' that thOM who live in
111 age 01 Heam and or electricity must
neoeeaftrUy be in a different condition as
to their nerves from thise who lived in
the old. slow days of sailing uckcis and
of mail coaches.
Ours is an age of extreme activity. Ii
is an iigj of rush. There is DO leisure,
so much us to eat, and the nerves are
kept iu n state of constant tension, with
results which are sufficiently well known.
Business men in our time have an eager,
restless air at least those who do their
business in ooddental lands as if they
were in momentary expeotation of a
telegram as they often are tho con
tents of which may affect their destiny
in some fateful way. We betray ibis
unconscious state of mind in a multitude
of acts. We cannot sit still, but we
must fidget. We linger our pencils
rrhile we are talking, as if we ought, at
ibis particular instant, to be rapidly in
duing something ere it lie forever too
late. Wo rub our bands together, as if
preparing for some serious task which is
tlmul to absorb all our energies. We
twirl our thumbs, we turn our heads
vith the swift motion of the wild ani
mal which seems to fear that something
dangerous may have been left unseen.
We have a sense that there is something
which we ought to be doing now, and
into which we shall proceed at once h
plunge as soon as we shall have dis
patobed six other affairs of even more
pressing iniortunce.
The effect of overworking our MTVO!
-hows itself, not mainly in such aflaO1
lions as "fiddler's cramp." "telegrapher's
Cramp," "writer's cramp," and the like,
but in a general tension. We do not

length of time or soundness of rest. Wo

by those which aro exasveratingly triv
ial, such as the twitter of a bird In n

into our darkened rooms, tiie motion of
a shutler iu the breeze, the sound of a
voice, and, when Bleep is MM inter
rupted, it is lianishcd. Wo have taken
our daily life to rest with us, and the re
sult is that we have no real rest. In an

The Dry I nc f Monies.
The power of the mosses to endure re
peated desiccation has recently been ex
perunentaliy Muted by u. Schroder, who
obtained the interesting result that many
if these plants cannot only resist months
of dryness without any harm, but also
that they do not perish even under the
strongest desiccation carried on in a drier
with the aid of sulphuric acid. Plants

for eighteen months in the drier, after a
few wettings resumed growth in all their
arts. Other species of barbula behaved

A curious experiment was verformed
with Orinunia pulrinata, in which a
stock which had lieeh cultivated for some
lime in a moist atmosphere under a bell
jflafl was suddenly OXpoaod to a warm
Ad perfectly dry current of air. It lie
camo so dry in a short time that it could
be pulverized. Then it lay in a drier for
ninety-live weeks. But the quickening
moisture was still couqietent to awaken
it to renowed life. The most rapid dry
ing which could be performed in the
laiwratory could not destroy the plant.
It even showed greater power of resist

A dispatch from Fort Robinson, Neb.,
mentions an exceptional uracil nir.de by
tho Eighth United States cavalry, com
manded by Col. J. Misonor, from Fort
Davis, Tex., having Fort Meade, D. T.,
for its destination, a distance of 1,050
miles. The regiment reached Fort Rolv
hwon on the Nth of August, having
nun le let.!) miles of the march, leaving
100 miles still to go. Tho regiment left
Fort IMvis on May 17, and reached Fort
Moade on Sept. making the time 100
days, and 11:1 average of a fraction over
fifteen miles a day, a rate of traveling
considered exceedingly gixxl. The land
and regimental headquarters accom
panied the expedition. This move is
merely one of the ordinary changes of
quarters, mid is of inten'st only as an
initial step toward n change of system in
transporting troops. Where time is of
little object tho government beg con
cluded to adopt the plan of marches in
stoiid of using tho railroad, thereby sav
ing the cost of transportation a very
considerable ileni. f course this can
only be done in tho OfJM country, but
even there in the great west the land Is
liecoming settled so fast that a lrb wire
fence is frequently met with as an ob
struction. Lieut. L. Wi V. Kennon, nide-di-camp
on Oeu. Crook's stall, whoso main hobby,
by the way, is tactics, ho having written
u number ol exhaustive articles upon that
subject, one lately appearing in The Army
nnd Navy Journal, expressed the opinion
that the system would become very jnip
ular, for, besides tho saving in excuse ,
lie claims it is the best sort of drill, hard
ening and toughoningthotrooysus would
no other method. Fourteen to fifteen
iniliH a day Is considered n fairjuu'o; over

twenty Is set down in military luniks as a
forced march, but there have lieen some
rr.ro instances of quick marching that
make tho ordinary forced march swiii
like play.
Moving a whole army, consisting of
Infantry, cavalry, artillery, with the ac
companying Imggago wagons and army
DtMMLriMj is vastly dilTcrent from the
transportation of a single regiment of in
fantry or cavalry. Napoleon is credited
with having iorformod tho most aston
ishing feat of this character on record
when in 180.1 he inarched his entire luiny
from the channel to thoHliine, a distance
of 400 miles, in twenty-live days, sixteen
miles a day. Tho historian (libbon tells
of a march of the Sultan Galoloddin in
1800 with his troops of 1,000 miles, mak
ing fifty-eight miles 11 day. Tho same
authority mentions an incident a century
later when Mirza Meheddin Sultan
marched with ao.000 soldiers 230 miles
lu flvo days, but states that tho pMUtJ
of tho commander's ardor was the loss of
80,000 of his men, reaching his destina
tion with but 4,000.
During tho late war Oen. Orierson,
now ci donel of the Tenth cavalry, marched
liOO miles in sixteen days through the
enemy's country ; this was at tho rate of
thirty-seven and a half miles a day.
