A funny incident is said to have occurred
the other night in a village store. An elder¢
ly man assuming a serious air remarked,
"Weill Uncle Fred Morehouse has been
heard from P” “How," chimed in two or
three, “by letter i” “No, by telegraph,” was
the reply. “What did Uncle F. my,” they
asked. “Simply that he'd got there,” was
the answer. “Got where 1” they inquired;
“To Saratoga, of course.”
Mrs. D. M. Marvin, now over seventy:
years of age, has a happy faculty of present-i
ing reminiscences, and of describing scenes?
in which our early villagers figured, particu-I
larly those of her own ancestry. She says it'
is known to our older citizens that Jabez:
Platt, long since deceased, was a very witty
mam—one of those} who could “keep the.
table in a roar," Two generations ago Mr.:
Platt was the funnyman of the neighborhood
in which he lived. At that time it was cus-
tomary for certain families living on the west
side of the .river to assemble now and then
at each others houses to spend a sociable
evening. On one occasion a reunion was
held at the house of the late John Taylor,
father of Mrs. Marvin, Mr. Platt was there.
Between stories and jests apples were eaten
and sweet cider drank. Temperance princi-
ples were not practiced, if they were even
known then and no house was thought to be
well kept unless in the sitting room or parlor
was maintained the traditional sideboard
with its decanters well filled at the top and
in view. Everybody drank when disposed,
and comments as to the propriety thereof
were never indulged. For. some unexplained
reason at that meeting, ten o'clock arrived
and not a word had been said about “wetting
the whistle." Mr. Platt had sought in his
odd way to hint at Mr. Taylors’ forgetfulness
of what seemed to him an important duty,
but Mr. T. being engrossed with other
thoughts fully as entertaining failed to see
the'point. ’ Suddenly, and to the surprise of
all: Uncle “Jabe,” as he was familiarly called,
gross, seized his hat and started for the door.
l’He was intercepted by Mr. T. who exclaim-
ed»: “Why l er. Platt, youfre not going I
hope." “Yes i" he replied. “I'm going
right down to the house to get a drink, I’ll
be back in a few minutes.” It is needless to
state that he did not leave as intended,'for
decanters and tumblers weregunceremonious-
ly trotted out and “smiles” in two senses .of
meaning were indulged by the entire com-
pany at the expense of the seeming negligent
host. The incident ”has since often been
related, but never before appeared in print.
Mr. Abel 'Bresr arrived in New York Sun-

.Seth Green does not believe all of that
Long Island eel pond story. He maintains
that eels are a salt water production; that
wherever found, no matter how far inland,
they always come from salt water. He has
studied their habits for many years. and has
observed their movements in various parts of _
the country. He contends that they not
only originate in the salt water but are by-
brids, that eels never produce their kind.
The Hudson river, he has found, contains
vast numbers of small eels aiwa('ys making
their way steadily up stream, an , as heis
confident, [to far inland rivers, or there are
great falls, at some season of the year, hun-
dreds of eels a few inches in length may be
seen ascending the dams outside to the rush-
ing water of falls, and they are sure to reach
the stream above the precipice and then
make their way back to the quiet lakes and
onds where they attain their growth.
During an e rience of more than thirty
years in catching and dressing eels, and at
all season of the year, Mr. Green says he
has never found any eggs, as in fishes, or
any other sign that eels are able to produce
their kind. A New Haven man says that
Mr. Green is wrong, us he has found eels
with roes somewhat similar to those of shad."

AN ExrsariiliN-r wiru RICE Gummy
Curse—Mr. Johnson, who had repeatedly}
found fault with his breakfast remarked on
one occasion that his wife seemed absolutely
incapable pf learning to make rice griddle:
cakes. Whereupon thc indignant woman and,
nounced that she should refuse to have any-g
thing to do with the next da’ys breakfast and;
should lav'the whole burden of its preparation}
upon her husband’s shoulders. “Of course, ”:
she added, “you know how to make rice cakes
better than the Angel Gabriel, and you' can.
.just show, for once, ‘what you can do”;
With {great courage, Mr. Johnson undertook ;
the unwelcome task thus thrust upon him,‘
and made his preparations with intelligent
care. There were eight persons in the family,
and, as he estimated that each one would
eat a pint of rice, he decided to use four
quarts cf it in mixing his griddlecakes. To ,
the rice he added four quarts of buttermilk
and a quart of hot water, besides a few hand-
fuls of flour and Indian meal, in order that
the cakes should look brown. He then re-"
flected that it would be necessary to add to
the mixture something that would make it.
light, and accordingly, threw in u teacup-
-fu1 of cream of tartar, an equal quantity of
saleratus, and half a paper of baking powder.
Having thus mixed his cakes to his satis-
mixture in a warm corner of-the kitchen and
left it to “rise” during the night. There is
no doubt that it did “rise.” Moreover, the
rice swelled. On going into the kitchen
the next morning, Mr.’ Johnson found that
his rice-cakes had overfiowed, and covered
the floor to a depth of at least a foot, while
in the immediate neighborhood of the pan a
: pyramid of "‘batter" reached nearly to the
drbe and water, and subsequently em-
ployed three Irish women to clean the kitch-
jen and an Irishman to carry away the mirac-_

Wanted a Patent for a chalk-
; Mark.
The Washington correspondent of the Hart~
ford Times writes: “Several da ogo ans
lication reached the Patent Ofiice from .
3. Strong and Kate M. Strong, of Tauadeigo,
Ala, for a patent for:an ant guard. he
petition, which was a very funny one, set
forth that the Strange, who ,are man and
wife, had joiugy put their minds together
and had inven the most wonderful thing
ever-heard of, to wit,i an ‘atnlguard,’ which
they went on to prescribe at great length.
They claimed that it was patentable, as it
was new and useful, twolthings that are
necessary-to secure a patent. The guard
consisted of drawing a chalk-mark around a
table or other place, by which: it was claim-
ed the approach of .ants w'asstopped. Mr.
Strong says, and Mrs. Strong swears itis
true, that an ant cannot walk over a chalk-
li'ne, nnd that all that is_ neeeuary to keep
ants away from anything is to draw a chalk-
line around it. It appears that chalk makes
an ant's le slip up, as seeping struck re-
ventsamifoad' engine from starting. he
fidtion was novel, and caused considerable
. n. At last the Commissioner of Patents
looked over the precedents and directed his
law clerk to write a decision refusing the
application on the und that there was
nothing new in the invention claimed, that
chalkhad been used for such p hero-
tofore, and winding up with t ”e general
statement that such ideas are not patentable.
This .decislons was sent to the Stron family,
but it failed to satisfy them. boy had
made up their minds, that there was millions
inztheir invention, and they did not intend
to be cheated out of it by any such decision.
As they'have monigy they can pay lawyers.
Today there was led an appeal from the
decision, of the Commissioner of Patents.
.This agent, will be tried in September next

Practical suggestions for protection against
prevalent diseases are always of value, and as
long as the,failure to observe them is the un-
questioned cause of many evils, cannot be-
too often repeated. A paper read recently
before the New Haven board of health, con-
denses the precautions against diptheria, but
the suggestions apply with'almost equal force
to many other dangerous diseases. The un-
obstructed rays of the sun, dry apartments,
cleanliness in surroundings, and abundance
of pure air, are the true panaceas. Contag.
ions and infectious‘diseases are produced or
intensified by damp and dirt. Arm yourself
against them with sunlight, a garbage cart
and a disinfectant. When a contagious disn
case has gained a foothold, a new set of pre-
cautions come to play. Patients should be
isolated and should be nursed as far as possi-
ble by a single person. The greatest care
should be ,taken to prevent the spread of
contagion through members of the family,
visitors, the furniture or superfluous articles
in the room, the patient’s clothing or directly
through the patient himself, by his mingling
with others before his complete recovery, or
before a proper interval has elapsed. The
sick room should be disinfected. Walls,
ceiling, fioor, woodwork, clothing, and bed-
ding must be thoroughly cleansed. Especial
care should 'be taken to prevent the funerals
Of those who have died from diptheria, scar-
let fever, etc., from being made the occasion
of spreading contagion. Our public schopls
should aslso be carefully watched and prompt
measures be taken at the first appearance of
such diseases. But the completeadoption
of the suggestions aiming at prevention will
obviate the necessity of those-which tend to
limit the spread of communicable diseases.
Every one then. 'who abolishes a single
cause of .taiuted air is a benefactor to a de-
gree that cannot well be estimated.

A Grand Exhibition of National
' Industry.
The American Institute of the City of New
York will hold its 47th Exhibition this Fall,
opening on' the 11th day of September next;
and continuing until late in November. The
Exhibition this year promises to be of un-
usual interest, and the acknowledged benefits
resulting from the bringing together of the
Producer and Consumer are facts too long
admitted to be denied. The City of New
York being the centre of American wealth
and population, together with the thousands
of citizens from every part of our extended
country, gives the Exhibitor an unequalled
opportunity of introducing his roducts!
The American Institute is the 01 est of all
societies now in existence of its kind, and is
not in any sense aglrivate corporation,-its
earnings being devote by its charter to the
encouragement of home industries. For
blanks and all information, address Chas.

From the Preseoft [Arizona] Miner, Aug.2.
A Horse’s Feet Roasted.
M. L. Fewell, the mail carrier between Pres-
cott and Winkenburg, on his trip during the
early part of the week, left the latter place
about the middle of the day, when the ther-
mometer stood 120 ° in the shade, and in the
sun at a heat beyond the capacity of a ther-
mometer to indicate, his course being over
the Walnut Grove trail, which follows a
sandy wash for several miles. Before pass-
ing from the wash, with its scorching sand,
he noticed that his horse became restive and
apparently in much pain. U on making his
exit from the sandy wash, an finding a large
tree that offered a pleasant shade, Mr. Few-
ell concluded to rest his panting steed and
examine, if possible, into the cause of the
animal's distress. The horse would raise one
foot and then another, giving the rider to un-
derstand that something was wrong with his
feet, when he made an examination and
found the flesh around the upper art of the
hoof thoroughly roasted and the cot ready
to drop. The animal in a few minutes was
unable to stand, and the mail carrier was
compelled to shoulder the mail, abandon his
noble charger, and foot it to Walnut Grove,
a distance of 20 miles, which he made, under-
exposure to the excessive heat of the sun.
