The view sometimes expressed by pleas- antry or-iotherwise, that marriage presents illusions to those who have not entered upon it, and that experience of it is rather a deterrent influence with regard to re- peating the experience has lately been put to the test of of statistical facts by M. Ber- tilion. . He inquires first into the nuptiality or chance of marriage of widowers. If they equal orcxceed bachelors in their ardor for marriage, the conjugal state can hardly be malinged. It is necessary here to compare widowcrs and bachelors of the same ages. M. Bertilion accordingly constructs curves based on data from Holland (being the ful- lest obtainable). It appears that of 1,000 men of 25 to 35 years of age, 110 or 112 marry each year. On the other hand, the corresponding number of widows is 356, or three times as many. At other ages the difference is still greater; widows marry four times more than bachelors of the same age, and in the case of young men (21 and under) the numbers are 290 and 4 respective- ly. Diagrams for France, England and Bel- gium give like results. Next the author inquires into the nupti- ality of divorced men. The facts of their bad experience of marriage, their ability to rejection as bad spouses, and sometimes their having children. would seem in favor of their continuing unmarried. The num- bers show that while up to 26 years of age divorwd men marry less than helors of the same age, after 26 they e ceed these considerably. They do not, indeed, attain to the readiness ofzthe :widowers until 40 of age, when they actually marry more than widowers. (This applies to Holland and Switzerland, the only countries from which data were obtainable.) T here is the possi- ble explanation that some men get divorced from or'le wife to marry another. But a like explanation would hardly apply to many widowers. viz., that they procured the death of one wife for another. The general conclusion is: that marriage, far from causing regrets in men who con- tract it, creates habits, on the contrary, the deprivation of which is much felt. In the case of females, M Bertilion obtains similar results, though less decided. From 25 to 30’years of, age. When Dutch girls marry most, widows are found to marry about twice as much, and a corresponding dif- ference appears throughout similarly in Switzerland and in England. There are two exceptions to the rule, however. In the city of Berlin widows past 30 marry almost exactly in the same proportion as spinsters. And ;_in France they marry a little less. - The state of young widowhood seems to press the same everywhere. Is the stage of things in France, then, to bcexplained by saying that French husbands are wickeder than others 1’ "prrefer to believe, ” says M. Bertilion,‘ “that-they fare, on the contrary, too good, and that they leave 'widows ab- solutely inconsolable." Divorced women give a curve pretty ,similar to that of di. vorced men. Up to about 30 years of age they marry considerably less [than spins- ters, but beyond that they show a greater dispodtion to marriage even than widows, 'and' this difference continues to the end of life... .. .- . 4 '.

Experiments with the locomotive smoke consumer on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road ,are being made with marked succeSs. Engineer Hiuckley of the "Charles F. Pond" says it saves 1650 pounds of coal per day, and almost entirely re- moves the smoke nuisance. The invention is now on the "Victory,” “Pegasus,” and “Polaris” engines, and is being put on the “Eclipse” and the new engine “Hercules” The road commence today experimenting with the “Pegasus,” weighing her coal and measuring her water, to calculate saving. The consumer consists of two straight five inch thbes two feet long, opening into the cab through both sheets, on each side and above the fvrnacc door, the interior ends being closed, and bolted against the side sheets of the fire-box. The part of the tubes next to the fire are thickly perfora- ted, to let in the air, which causes a com- bination of the coal-gases. Like the Bal- timore and Ohio 'road, the New York, New Haven and Hartford road’s engines are provided with the sparkarresters in the smoke-box extensions, so that now both smoke and sparks cease to be of much trouble. Sulphur Cure for Diptheria. A few years ago, when the diphtheria was raging in England, a gentleman accom- panied the edebrated Dr. Field on his rounds, to witness the so-called “wonderful cures” which he performed while the patients of others were drooping on all sides. The remedy to-bc so rapid must be simple. All he took with him was powder of sulphur and a quill, and with these be cured every patient without exception. ’ He put a tea- spoonful of Hour of brimstone into a wine- glass of water, and stirred it with his finger instead of a 'spoon, as sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was well mixed, he gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. . Brimstone kills every species of fungus in ma. beast and plant, in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the gar- gle he recommended the swallowing of it. In extreme cases, in which he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gurgling, he blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus ‘ had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. He never lost a patient from diptheria. If the patient cannot gargle. take. a live coal put it on a shovel and sprinkle a spoonful. or two of flour of brimstqnc at a time upon it; let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fungus will die. If plentifully used, the whole room may be filled almost to suffocation; the patient can walk about in it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and windows shut. The mode of fu- migating a room with sulphur has often cured most violent attacks of cold in the head, chest. etc., at any time, and is recom- mended in cases of consumption and asthma. ~Transcript. Some Interesting Dates. [Rem Lyman Abbott inHSunday Afternoon] Dates are generally dry reading; but there is sometimes a significance in the mere grouping of dates ; and the reader will find such significance in an attentive consider- ation of the following events, all occurring, as he will observe, within the limit of a lit- tle over a century: Postoffices were first established in 1464; printed musical notes Were first used in 1473; watches were first constructed in 1476; America was discover- ed 1492; the first printing press was set up in Copenhagen in 1493; Copernicus announc- ed his discovery of the true system of the universe in_ 1517; Luther was summoned before the diet of Worms in 1521; Xavier the first great misssonary _of modern Chris— tianity, planted the cross in India in 1529; Albert Curer gave the world a prophecy of future wood engraving in 1527 ; J ergells set the spinding-wheel in motion in 1530, the germ of all the busy wheels and looms of 10,000 future factories. . Henry VIII of England finally and forever broke with the pope in 1533; Ignatius Loyole founded the university of Geneva in 1537; modern needles first came into use in 1545; the first knives were used in England and the first wheeled carriages in France in 1559 ; Torquato Tasso wrote in 1560; religious liberty was granted to the Hugenots in France in 1562, and was followed by the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572; Car- vantes wrote Don Quixote in 1573; the first newspaper was published ill England in 1588; Spencer, Shakespeare, Bacon, .‘Kep— ler, Tacho Brahewerc contemporics in 1590 —these are some of the important head— lands of the European history within a single century. Need of Union Sunday Schools. At the fifty-third anniversay of the American Sunday School Union, just cele- brated at St. Louis, Rev. Dr. Ganse formerly of this: city, said: “How should we congre- gate for thiswork? Here is a Methodist, and ten miles off across prairie is another, and fifteen miles from there is a third; now let them consult their denominational peculiarities, and appoint a meeting-place in their midst, and do their work as Meth- odists. Would that be well? But off here is living another man, a B.lptist, and be- tween them is a Presbyterian, and an Episcopalian, whose heart is of that does not despise hearty cooperation with these followers of the same Master, whom he loves and serves. There'is the place for these men; bring them together, organize them into a little band; let them gather around their feet the little children who are born and reared in this home, and in the next homes: get three more, and ten more if you can at the next remove, so that a circle of influence shall touch other circles of influence the wide land'over, and homely and hearty piety shall encourage itself in this blessed work, and then your problem is solved, except this: ‘You shall need somebody to inspire these men for their work; some wise, earnest man, who- shall go from point to point and put the idea into minds which have it not, and show them the methods with which they are not familiar.’ ” This is the work of the missionaries of the American Sunday School Union.~—07mrck Union. \ “Going to Callahan.” As the vasttide of immigration is pouring into the Empire State of the South-west, the old Texans, as well as the Indians, like to get to the frontielfilr they cannot hear crow mg nor civiliza “Callahan” is in the mouths of old and young.. It is the name of a county well suited to stock-raising; -—and thither they press. A friend of mine asked a little five-year-old if he didn’t want to go to heaven? No, he wanted to go to Callahan. These people think thosc‘were “good times when there Wasn’t much larnin’,” and they were not “scourged by other peo- ple’s stock.” A missionary of the American Sunday School "Union, who sends are above, adds: “In one neighborhood whcrc,threc years ago the Indians murdered a mother and her two daughters. there is now aSunday School of seventy scholars and six teachers, and fro- queut religious service.- For the last month I report eight schools organized, with thirty five teachers and three hundred and sixty-six Scholarsrand ten other schools visited and aided, having sixtg—five teachers and four hundred and fifty-eight scholars.

Francis’ Washington letter to the Troy 1. e 4 A Model New England Farm. - Mr. Burnett, the owner of the three hun- dred acres in Southboro’, Mast, known as Deerfoot farm, makes a speciality of breed- ing, raising and fattening‘hogs, and| of the products of the dairy. The conversion of the carcasses into hams and bacon and'the manufacture of sausages and lardfis carried on in the most systematic miner and on an extensive scale, extra pains being taken to produce for the private consumption of cus- tomers in Boston, New York and Philadel- phia the choicest and most palatable articles. Mr. Burnett raises about 350 hogs annually,. and purchases from the farms of Vermont 1,500 fat Berkshires, which make the best pork. After being dressed the hogs are kept in a refrigerator-for forty-eight hours, ’when they are cut up, the hams and bacon cured in the most approved manner, the lard tried out and canned, free from adulteration, and the pork packed in kegs of fifteen and twen- ty-fivc pounds weight; the sausage meat chopped by machinery and seasoned with the best quality of sage and pepper that can be obtained, and then made into sausages. Mr. Burnett’s bacon has taken the place of imported English bacon in the Boston mar— ket, and become so popular in Philadelphia that one dealer has ofiercd to take the entire product of Dcerfoot Farm, which amounts to 300 sides a day,whilc 3000 hams are cared annually. The product of sausages averages about 1000 pounds a day. Another specialty of Mr. Burnett is the canning of pigs’ feet, which are sold largely in the season to yachting parties. The piggery at Deerfoot Farm is an extensive alIair, located at some distance from the main buildings, and con- sists of a building 80 by 40 feet, with a wing 60 by 20 feet, containing pens, in which are seen about 260 swine of all ages, from the sucking pig to the hog ready for the scalding vat. The animals are fed twice a day, on a cooked mixture of two-thirds corn meal and one-third ground oats, which Mr. Burnett has demonstrated to be the most profitable food for fattening hogs. In the dairy the Devonshire process of producing clotted cream is used. New milk, scaldcd, is placed in long, large pans, which are placed under a refrigerator, where it is cooled rapidly, the temperature being reduced in three, hours from 160 ° to 32°, and cream raised to the thickness of three-fourths of an inch, which ordinarily required forty-eight hours. This cream will keep sweet several days, and is sold for 60 cents a quart to Boston families. Mr. Burnett also manufactures from 250 to 800 pounds of buttcr a week from tne milk of fifty cows, of which twentynfive are thoroughbred Jerseys. The butter sells read- ily at 75 cents a pound—Boston Transcript. Can Oysters Whistle. The shop was first established by a Mr. Pearkes in 1825. “It appears,” says a writer in the Daily Telegraph, “that about the year 1840 the proprietor of. the house in .question, which had then as it has now a great name for the superior excellence of its delicate little ‘natives,’ heard. a strange and unusual sound proceeding from one of the tubs in which the shell—fish lay piled in layers one over the other, placidly fattening upon oat-meal and awaiting the advent of the remorselcss knife. Mr. Pcarkes, the landlord, listened, hardly at first believing his ears. There was,however, ,no doubt about the matter; one of the oys- ters was distinctly whistling, or, at any rate, producing a sort of swlemenl with its shell. It was not difficult to detect this phenominal bivalve, and in a very few moments he was triumphantly picked out from amongst his fellows and put by himself in a spacious tub, with a plentiful supply of brine and water. The news spread through the town and for some days the fortunate Mr. Pcarkes found his house besieged by curious crowds. Doug- las J errold’s suggestion was that the said oyster had been crossed in love and whistled to'keep up appearances with an idea of show- ing that it did not care.” Thackeray used to declare that he was once actually in the shop when an American came in to see the phe- nomenon, as everybody else was doing, and after hearing the talented mollusk go through his usual performance strolled contemptously 'out, declaring “it was nothing to an oyster he knew of in Massachusetts, which whistled ‘Yankee Doodle’ right through and followed its master about the house like a dog.” —T/wrnburg‘s Old'aml New London. Tun LATEST ADVICE T0 FAT PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE LEAN.—Tlle Banting system of diet has in many cases been tried with suc- cess, but it, too, carried out without in- telligent knowledge of the patients condition has at times led to severe and dangerous disorders of the cmunctorics. In case of a friend, of general fine health and in early middle life, it has on several occasions, when he has tried it, resulted in rapid mus- cular debility and mental lassitude. In all such cases it should not be pushed. Re— cently Dr. Tarnicr, a French, physician, has called attention to the success of a milk diet in these cases. I-Ie commences by allowing three-fourth the usual food and one liter of milk the first day; one-half the usual food and two liters of milk the second day ; one-fourth the food and three liters of milk the third day, and thereafter. four liters of milk daily and nothing else. Often, how- ever, it is better to allow a small proportion of the usual food each day' to prevent the patient becoming tired of the milk. Should diarrhoea set in the milk should be suspened for a while, and then resumed. The treat- ment may be continued until the fat is reduced. Dr. Tarnier claims that this treat- ment is always successful, and entails no danger whatever.—Il[edlcal and Sim/foal Reporter. Inlihis last lecture at the Yale Seminary, Bishop Simpson related that the only severe temptation he ever had to leave the active work of the ministry was during his first year. He chanced then to hear five ser- mons from an eminent minister who had been trammelled with doubts and perplexi- ties, but had just emerged from them into strong faith. The effect upon him was one of humiliation and discouragement. “I felt I had no right to stand in the sacred desk and to utter my feeble thoughts, like the lispings of childhood, when the service of such men could be secured.” He re- solved firmly to close his connection with the conference at the end of the year and become a local preacher, supporting himself by another profession, but preaching when- ever he found a place where he thought he could do good. Before the year closed he invited a minister of whose ability in the pulpit he knew little to preach for him. “Before he had proceeded far, I discovered I had made a mistake. His thoughts were crude and disjointed, and he murdered the King's English. I was deeply mortified. I got my head down behind the pulpit, and as he proceeded it got lower and lower. I was cllagrined and vexed, and said to myself, “As long as Ire church has room for such ministers, I will stay and preach on.) ’7 Perils of Democratic Ascendancy Tlmes.] . The Democratic party as represented by its leaders here means mischief to the Re- public as clearly as its inauguration of re- bellion in 1861 contemplated the destruction of the Union. With that party in full power in both Houses, as it will be in the Congress, it will not need to pick up a few Republican votes that are influenced by local considerations, and sometimes it is feared by more ignoblc motives, to assure a majority in the Senate in favor of iniquitous measures that assail the integrity and therein the security of the Republic. “Forewarned, forcarmed.” The agencies are at work to- day in the machinery of the Democratic party, here so conspicuous, which if not bafiled, by the uprising of the friends of the Union and the Constitution in successful NEW ADVERTISEMENTS n.-\.\, "x.

He dropped his teeth in the flowing tide, As he fecbly leaned o’er the vessel’s side, His troubles internal and mental. “Quite a misfortune,” they said to him, But he answered cooly, with visage grim, “Oh, merely an in-sea-dental!" Yawcob Strauss. Ilassmu‘s EccENTRICITIEs.—Hasslat was hampered and embarrassed continually by limited appropriations.- His corporations were not that character easily seen; Con- gress wondered continually what he was about. While he, was systematizino‘ me- thods and training assistants, Congregs was shrugging lts shoulders and clamoring be- cause results were inadequate to the ex- penditure. Hasslar was an eccentric man of lrascible disposition and great independ~ ence of character. On one occasion a com- mittee from Congress waited upon him in his office to inspect his work. “You come to ’spect my vork, eh? Vat y know ’bout my vork.’ Vat you going to ’spcct!” - The gentlemen, conscious of their ignor- ance, tried to smooth his rufiicd temper by an explanation, which only made matters worse. “You knows netting at all ’bout my york. How can you ’spect my vork you knows nottlng?Get out of here; you in my vay. Congress be you big, vool to send you to ’spect my work. I ’ave no time- to vastc Vlth such as knows netting. vat I am ’bout. Go back to Congres and tell dem vat I say." The committee did “go back to Congress" and report, amid uprbarious laughter, the result of their inspecting interview. When Hon. Levi Woodbury was Secre- tary of the Treasurer, under Jackson. he and Hasslar could not agree as to the com— pensation to be allowed to the superintend- ent, and Hasslar was referred to the Presi- dent, at whose discretion the law placed the settlement of the dispute.- “So, Mr. I-Iasslar, it appears the Secretary and you can not agree about this matter," remarked Jackson, when.Hasslar had stated his case 1n his usual emphatic style. :ZLVT‘pHISir, ve can’t." e ,howmuchdo rour a ' ' ' ought to have '2” 5 e lly think you "Six thousand dollars, Sir.’, “Wily, Mr. Hasslar, that. is as much as Mr. Woodbury, my Secretary of the Treas- ury, himself receives.” “Mm Voodbury l” screamed Hasslar, rising from hls Chem and vibrating his long fore- finger toward his own heart. “P-l-e-e-n-ty Mr. Voodburys, pl-c-e-n-ty Mr. Everybodys, for Secretary of de Treasury; v-o-ne, v-o-ne Mr. Easier for de head of de Coast Survey!’ and erecting himself in a haughty attitude, he looked dormupon Jackson in supreme scorn at thls d.. g comparison. President Jackson, sympathizing with a character having some traits in common wrth hls own, granted Hasslar’s demand, and at the close of the next cabinet meeting told the joke, to' the great entertainment of the gentlemen present.—Manrrm J. LAMB, 111 Homer's for March. ‘ m Labouchcre Beaten at Euchre. [London Truth, Feb. 20.] You are right Mr. Corlett. The Paris Lottery does remind me of an occurrence that took place years and years ago when you and I were not staid and portly citizens but gay and giddy youths. It was in'Cuba, however, not in Mexico, as you opine. I had gone to .Matanzas, I forget What for, but probably for no particular reason. At Matanzas, I picked up an acquaintanceship with an American. We talked together at the table d’hote, and in the evening we strolled out together. The bright, clear moon played upon the water of the harbor, and ever and anon tipped with silver the sail of some fisher's skill as it stole out to sea. Around us was the luxurious vegeta- tion of the tropics; a soft, gentle breeze murmured through the tall palms overhead. See. It was a scene where lovers would have lingered on for ever, but after con- templating it for about an hour the Ameri- can and I found it slightly monotonous, and wended our way back to the hotel. It was still early. Nature slept, but we'did not feel inclined to imitate her; so I proposed cards. The American seldom played but to oblige me he would do so. “Euchre 1"" Isuggested. The American did not know the game well, but if I would excuse him any mistakes that he might make 119 would pla'at cucllrc. His luck was prodigious. Fortune favored him in a manner most miraculous. If I had good cams, be some- how always had better. We played for about six hours, and by that time all money had passed-into the American‘s pockets. Before leaving Havana I had bought my- self two lottery tickets. These I olIered to stake against the money that they had cost me, about $150. The American accepted the wager but his miraculous luck did no.1: ' desert him, for he won the tickets. Having borrowed of him enough to pay my hotel bill, and to take my place on the Havana steamer, we went there together the next morning. The lottery had just been drawn one of my tickets had won the highest prize Since then I have never bought a lottery ticket for it is against all probability that I ever again shall be so near winning aprlze. I met the American ,subscq‘uently In New Orleans. He offered me my revenge, but I declined to accept it. “Have you a bowie-knife or a revolver about you 2’” I asked. “No,” 0 answered. “And you will promise to reply truthfully to a ques- tion that I should like to ask you?” "I will,” he said. “Did you not cheat me at Mutan- zas?” “That is not precisely the term that should be used; but I knew the run of the czrds,” he answered, as he shook me by the hand, and, with a genial smile, wished me good morning. m It was about two years ago that Dr. Leon- ard W. Bacon wrote from Geneva, Switzer- land, predicting fhe failure of the Old Oath. 'olic movement in Europe. He now writes aletter to the Christian Union stating that the collapse of the government is already visible all over Europe, and that “it will be manifest and complete in about twelve months, extraordinaries excepted.” He points out that the new [movement of Geneva begins with a general policy of non- intcrfercnce in religious matters, and, as the Old Catholic Church in Geneva was created and is upheld by decrees and sub- srdies from the Hotel de Ville, n0n inter- ference is equivalent to annihilation. “The church consists simply of a clergy, salaried by the State, without congregations. When the salaries stop it is easy to infer where the church will be.” Dr. Bacon recalls that when his prediction of two years ago was published he was charged with “de- fective opportunities of information,” or “invincible ignorance.” Considering where he had been and what he had been doing for five years, he felt like replying. “If I don‘t tell you the truth about the Old Catholic humbug, don’t call it defective information. Call it square lying.” MQW During the ice blockade in the upper Hudson river, ice bouts have been used at. iewburgh in transporting passengers and ggage across the river. Passengers on the Hudson River railroad, after riding at the rate of at least, 30 miles an hour, have been much surprised to find themselves scudding along on the ice at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The other day 90 sheep were trans- ported across the river on an ice boat run by one of the famous Ward brothers, oarsmen, and one or two trips were made so quickly that the boat crossed over and returned before the next ten sheep could be caught and their legs tied. ——.—4°>'._'~—. l A notable wedding—A wedding wh ~ tIhere is no table, of cc?urse.—Il[m'de7l 12.033 t 0'.
