A P leasant C ustom .—Cameron’s “Across Afriea” says that on the death of a Urua chief, it is the custom to di­ vert the course of a stream, and in its bed to dig an enormous pit, the bot­ tom of which is then covered with liv­ ing women. At one end a woman is placed on her hands and knees, and upon herback the dead chief, covered with his heads and treasure, is seated, being supported on either side by one of his wives, while his second wife sits at his feet. The earth is then shoveled in on them, and all the wo­ men are buried alive, with the excep­ tion of the second wife. To her cus­ tom is more merciful than to her com­ panions,and grants her the privilege of being killed before the huge grave is filled in. This being completed, a number of male slaves—sometimes forty or fifty—are slaughtered, and blood poured over the grave, after which the river is allowed to resume its course. Put black silk or else mohair with your pougee. Silk is not used for widow’s first mourning dresses. The Lady Washington drees can be made up in cambric. Use your striped black and white goods for a princess polonaise over a plain black dress. Notwithstanding the popularity of short neckerchiefs for street wear, long scarfs remain in favor.. Yak lace# have given place to French thread—imitation or real—for trim­ ming black grenadines. Drab silk sample will make a pretty dress for a young girl if trimmed with gay Breton galloon in Indiacolors. The most stylish traveling cloaks are long, slender garments of sack shape reaching from the throat to the foot, and affording arable protection for the dress. In solid-colored lawns there are many pretty patterns; hut these goods áte not in such favor as they were be­ fore the combination style of drest, was introduced. The lace sacques imported for sum­ mer wraps are partly filled to the flg. ure, have flowing sleeves and are of medium length, but are not too long for usefulness, as all sacques have been in danger lately of being lengthened too much. The neck is without acol­ lar, but is finished with scallops, like those edging the front. Walking hats suitable for city streets have narrower brims and high crowns in English shapes, such as the Oxford with low sides rolled against the crown somewhat like the familiar English walking hat;or the Equestrienne, with brim turned down all round and very high square crown; or ehe a modified Gainsborough hat, which is called here the Danicheff. Little girls do not wear pique dress­ es as much as formerly, the fine soft woolens and flannels with white lace trimmings being used instead. Piques are still made, however, with prin­ I cess© fronts and hacks as far down as the hips, where kiltpleating is set in the hack and a sash is used to cover the join; the sash may he of pleated pique or of ribbon. Repped piques are preferred to all others, and the trimming are embroideries and Smy- rian lace. A M atter of D iscretion .—A New York paper says: “Should I, in coming down stairs with my girl’s father, precede him, or allow him the precedence?” asks a young man. It depends entirely upon what you have been doing, or how big he is. If you have been doing anything wrong, and the old man’s bigger than you are, and you can get behind him, you can readi­ ly 9ee what an advantage you will have by being behind him. If he is stronger than you, it doesn’t make much difference who’s behind on the start, as you will probably reach the youngest step first. If you have been merely making a friendly visit, and it’s simply a question of politeness, you should always allow “his nibs” the olace of honor, to-wit: in front. This will also give you an opportunity of squeezing her hand or stealing a kiss while his back is turned toward you. We would advise all young men to court in the kitchen, for, if anything wrong happens them, it is much hard­ er for friends of the family to raise you up.stairs than chuck you down. C ards .—Cards (says Ince), which were invented at the close of the four­ teenth century, as they weredrawn and painted by the hand, were proportion­ ately dear, and were not in general use until the reign of Edward IV. The price of a single pack was 18s. 8d., a very considerable «urn in those days. They were originally very different from those in use at present. In shape they were square; and instead of suits of spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds, their marks were rabbits, pink roses and flowers of columbine. The figured cards were very prettily devised; a queen rising on horseback with a rabbit, or of clubs. A rustic looking man, grotesquely dressed, and standing in a strange attitude, with a pink beside him, signified the Kuave of pinks or diamonds. S oap C ure for H og C holera .—A year ago I bought six hogs from a drove’of twenty that were dying with the cholera, and found, on driving them home, that they were affected; they vomited often. I put them with twenty-five of my own raising,’ and, boiling some corn in weak lye from ashes, used some soft soap in their slop from the kitchen, and I never lost one, while the last of the drove I left died. I have one now which took it a month ago, so bad it would eat noth­ ing; it seemed blind. I cured it by using one dose of common soap, made thin with water, pouring it down with a tin cup, by holding the hog on its back.— Cor. Ex. A dvertising begets wealth. ✓ NO. 33. C ounty W arrants C ourting in R ight S tyle .—“Get out, you nasty puppy, let me alone or I’ll tell my ma,” cried out Sally to her lover Jake, who sat about ten feet from her pulling dirt from the chimney jam. “I arn’t techin’ on you, now, Sal, replied Jake. “Well, perhaps, you don’t mean to, nuther, do you?” “No, I don’t!” “Cause you are a darned scary, long-legged, lantern-jawed slab-sided, pigeon-toed, gangle-kneed owl—hain’t got a tarnel bit o’ sense; get along home with you.” Now. Sal, I love you and can’t help it, and ef you don’t let me stay and court you my daddy will sue your’n for that cow he sold him the other day. Dy jingo, he said he’d do it.” “Well, look here, Jake; if you want to court me, you’d better do it as a white man does that sort of thing—not to set off there as if you’re pisen!” “How on airth is that, Sal?” “Why, side right up here and hug and kiss me, as if you really had some of the bone and sinner of a man about you. Do you s’pose a woman’s only made to look at, you stupid fool you?” “Well,” said Jake, drawing a long hreatb, “ef I must I must, for I love you, Sal,” and so Jake commenced siding up to her like a maple poker going to a battle. Laying his arm gently upon Sal’s shoulder we thought vve heard Sal i say: “That’s the way to do it, old hogs, that’s actin’ like a white man orter.” “O, Jerusalutu and pancakes,” ex. claimed Jake; “ef this ain’t better than any apple sass marm ever made—a‘ darned sight. Crak-ee buckwheat cakes, slap jacks and lasses ain’t no whar’ long-side you Sal: Oh, how I love you!” Here their lips came together, and the report that followed was like pull­ ing a horse’s hoot out of the mire. I V alve of a T rade .—Many a young man has been ruined for life because he never learned how to do anything. “My father,” once said an intelligent young friend, who found it extremely difficult to earn a scanty livelihood by his pen, “did not think it worth while for me to learn any trade or business.” He had been un- expectedly thrown on his own resour- ces, and, although a man in stature and years, he was a mere infant in his capacity to earn a living. There are too many men of his class floating around the world—men who have tal­ ents, but do not know how to apply them. Such eases lead us to look up­ on the culpability as very great of any parents who bring up a son without having been practically and thorough­ ly instructed in some way of earning an honest living. Every man should have some profession or trade. Then whether he steadfastly pursues it or not, he at least has an occupation to which, in an emergency, he may re­ sort for the support of himself and oth­ ers who may lie dependent upon him. Of all men, the practical know«noth* ing is most to be pitied. T he L esson of a S neeze .—As a rule, a sneeze is the warning nature gives that some part of the body is ex­ posed to a cooler temperature than oth­ er parts—that the sneezer is catching cold. Next to the warning, what is the use of a sneeze? It throws open the pores of the whole body, and indu­ ces a gentle perspiration; in a word, it throws out the cold. A child rarely sneezes more than twice—perspiration is readily induced in youth; an old man, on the contrary, sneezes half-a- dozen or a dozen times with a loud “catchogue.” It is harder to set him perspiring. When one’is sitting hy an open window, and finds himself sneez­ ing, nature tells him instantly walk about and take- a full tumbler of cold water to keep up the gentle perspira­ tion that the sneeze set in motion. If he does this, he will not he telling, an hour after, that he has a cold in his head, or chest, or lungs. always taken at par. L and L aw D ecisions .—A dispatch from Washington, dated June 3d, says; “Copp's Landowner for June reports the decisions of the Interior Depart­ ment in substance as follows: The burden of proving that land in dispute is excepted from railway grant is up­ on him who affirms the existence of a valid pre-emption claim thereto at the date the grant took effect. He must show that his pre-emption not only initiated a prior valid settlement, but that he possessed all the required per­ sonal qualifications. The filing of rec­ ord is prima-facie evidence of a valid right as against the railway, and to se­ cure a tract proper evidence must be furnished by the company to show that the pre-emptor’s claim was aban­ doned or invaded at the time the right of the road attached. After lands have been offered at public sale and then withdrawn they may be re­ stored to homestead and pre-emption entry. Until they have again been offered at public sale they are not sub­ ject to private entry. The Commis­ sioner of the General Land Office has t he right to correct what he considers an erroneous decision without firstgiv- ing notice of such intention to the at­ torneys of record in the case; but as a matter of courtesy such notice should be given when the interests of the Gov­ ernment are not injured. Deputy min­ eral land surveyors must enter into bonds, with two or more sureties, in the sum of $10,001), for the faithful per­ formance of their duties in the survey of mining claims. Survey under the Mining Act does not withdraw land embraced thereby from sale or sub­ sequent survey unless by application for patent by the party having no in­ terest in the mining application; but a person standing in the relation of amicus curios (a friend of the court) has no right to appeal from any de­ cision in the case.” B utt . r M aking .—It is perhaps one of the greatest defects in butter­ makers that they churn too much. /After the butter ha9 come and appears on the surface of the buttermilk many people continue churning tiU it is gath­ ered, that is, till it collects together in large rolls or lumps. This is just so much too much churning. It breaks the grains of the butter and renders it sticky like lard, a defect it can never be cured of however hard it may afterwards become, and however nice­ ly it may be put up into rolls and however nicely stamped. The churn should be stopped as soon as the but­ ter is separated and the cream is changed to buttermilk. This warm weather, when this change has taken place, pour into the churn one or two buckets full of pure cold water and let it tie then turned over a few times and then left to stand and cool off for fif­ teen minutesor half an hour. At the end of this time it will be found settled or gathered all that will be necessary,and the milk and water can be drawn off. Then add more water and stir again slowly, and continue to do so till the water remains clear or nearly so. The butter can then be dipped off the wa­ ter and placed in the butter worker to drain, but should not be worked but just enough to distribute the salt through it evenly for from twelve to twenty-four hours. The buttermilk may then be worked out and the but­ ter is ready for use or for packing. Too much churning is one of the prin­ cipal causes of so much sticky butter. Swiss W atches .—The Swiss are not very easily beaten. For a long time they have supplied almost the entire world with watches; hut of late they have found that they were being driven from the field by the American machine-made article. They are not, however, discouraged, and It seems they aro but putting into practice the old adage, that it is quite lawful to learn even from an opponent, and will, therefore, introduce American ma­ chines, or improvements on them, for making Swiss watches. With their experience and cheap labor, the Swiss manufacturers will be very likely to torn out a superior article at a low fig­ T he Richmond Enquirer man seems ure, and thus regain their lost trade, to have been stabbed in the vitals, and perhaps something more.
