Reasons Tlftu- Why does boUIng fast render meat hard T Because the excessive action of heat causes the albumen of the meat to set solid, crisps np the fleshy fibers and prevents the interior. - Why. when a good soap or broth Is required, sboald tbe meat be put into cold water! Because as the heat la developed very gradually there occurs an intermixture be tween the juices of tbe flesh and tbe external matter.' The solable and the savory parts ct the meat escape and enrich the soap. Why are stews generally health fal and digestible ! Because, being con pounds of various substances, they contain all i the elements of nutrition, and, as the office of tho stomach ia to liquify solid food before digesting it, the previous stewing assists tha stomach in this particular. .1 I What causes tbe crackling noise when lard Is put into a frying pan f Lard always contains some portion of water, and It Is tbe expression of this water iato steam, forcing Its way through the fat. Tbe heat at which fat or oil boila ia much great er than water. When the crack ling ceases the water has been driven off from the tat, and wbtn the fat begins lo boil or babble its heat will be very high. Why, In frying fish, should tbe fat or oil be made very but before the fish are put in T Because, if the temperature is. low when tbe fish is put into the frying pan, it becomes sodden in tbe steam form ed by its water; but if tbe oil is very much heated the water will be at once driven off, and the fish nicely browned by the scorching oil. i ;; J Why shonld fish or meat that is being fried be frequently turned! Because, tbe turning assists In tbe evaporation of the water. When the fish or meat ia allowed to lie too long tbe steam is generated under it and the surfsee becomes sodden; and the caomeat the steam is driven out, the surface catches to the hot pan and becomes burnt and broken. j . j Why is broiled meatsojaicy and savory f Because the action of tbe fire, hardening its surface, seals up the pores through which the juices might escape. It acta in the same way that the sadden dip Into boil ing water does upon the joints of meat, bnt more effectually. To tarn broiling meat never use a fork but tongs; a fork opens an escape for the juice, and wastes tbe best parts of the meat i ! Why is cabbage rendered more wholesome and nutritious by being boiled in two waters? Because cabbage contains an essential oil which isspt to produce bad effect; and it is recommended' that it sboald be boiled in two successive waters, and then it is soft and digestible. 1 i i Co 2ns are now made of piper, according to the Paper Trade Joxr aL which Journal pronounces it as M rather running things into tbe ground." i There are a number of tbe five dollixxold pieces In circulation that are counterfeit. Examine them carefully before yoa take them. The counterfeit coin is not more tbia half as ttavy as the genuine. Th JLxrrr.

Uar correspondent at Grand Haven says he knows an Indian who was ripped open with a bnzx saw and his liver hang upon a beam forty feet away. (Tbe doctors sewed him up in audit a harry that the lost organ was forgotten, bnt the red man has suffered no inconven ience whatever, j On the contrary, he has never been In sach spirits.

Free Prett. Tfte Benefit ot Ztttghter. i ! Dr. Green, In his "Problew. of IlealiX? says there Is not the re motest corner or little inlet of the minute blood-vessels of the human body that does not feel some wave let lrom the convulsion occasioned by good, hearty laughter. , Tbe life principals, or tbe central man, Is shaken to its inmost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface, thus mate rially tending to insure good health to tbe persons who indulge, therein. The. blood mores rapidly, and conveys a different impression to all the ofgaos of the body, as it visits them on that particular mys tic journey wheal the mao is Isugh Ing, from what: it doesat other times. For this retoa every good hearty laugh io which a person indulges tends to lengthen bis life. conveying, aa It does, new and distinct stimulus to the vital forces. Doubtless, the time will - mm come when physicians, conceding more importance than they now do the Influence of the mind upon the vital forces of tbe body, will make their prescriptions more with refer ence to the mind, and less to drugs for tbe body; and will, in so doing, find tbe best and most effective method of producing tbe required enect upon tue pauenu The ltxnUla Ilant. The plant known as the vanilla, or more commonly as dog tongne is getting to be quite an important article of export here. About seventy-five bales (about the size ot txtton bales) were received for shipment at tbe depots in this place during the past week, mostly from Magnolia, twenty-five of which were to go to Hew York, twenty five to Chicago and tbe remaining twenty-five to some other northern city. Considerable quantities of the plant are to oe round in me neighborhood of Wilmington, and many of tbe colored people make it a part of their business to gather it in bags and take it to persons who purchase it for the northern markets. The Diant is said to be a very prolific one, the leaves which are broken off being soon replaced by fresh ones, and is valuable on account of its medicinal and flavor ing qaalities. It is also prized by housewives, who use it to impart a pleasant odor to tbe contents of trunks, bureau 'drawers, etc. IFii. iar.

Corpora tion and Freight. ..w Augasr y. At a mef'tiug of tn Chamber ot Com to-day Charles 8. Smith, F. is, xnarber, Jacob Wendell. John r. Terry and Osgood Welsh were appointed delegates to a transpor- tauiuu conierence, to be held at utica on tbe 18th instant. The call was signed by many prominetit larmers tnronghout the State "to consider whether our government ia to continue a government of the people, for the people, by the peo ple, or whether it is to be the government of corporations, by w.jjuiaiiuua. ior iao oeneut ot a favored few. a. special committee on railroad transportation submitted a reoort on tne cnanges which haverecento a a - tasen place in the freight and passenger rates and parsed resolu tions thanking tbe managers of the trunk lines for the general redac tion In west-bound open rates and declaring that the only discrimina tion jastioable on tbe part of h common carrier, either as regards persons or places, is that based upon "cost of service," and upon tms Daais asking the trunk lines ri make a thorough examination and if borne out by the facts to claim an equal rate with all other sea ooard cities, and to remember their often repeated assertion that the amonnt of watered stock has nothing to do with the cost of transportation. They also depre cate the practice of making excessively low rates during the season of navigation aod unreason amy nign rates during tbe winter a. a a . a , a moDioi tnat tms is not only a discrimination against the State, which, as owner of the canals, cannot afford to permit this prac tice, out it is also detrimental to the best interests of commerce generally. Another resolution de clares that reasonable, uniform and pnblio rates of freight will best serve tbe interests of both the publio and tbe railroads; that they willingly concede rates which will pay liberal dividends upon tbe actual cost of construction of these modern highways, but that stock- watering is a crime against the publio which should be prohibited by severe penalties. Phil. Times. .Vrte Jlailroads in J'ortn olina. 4Tr- There are a number of new rail roads under construction or now contemplated in this State. There Is one from ABbe county to Sal in bury or Statesville; one from Eat Tennessee through Watauga coun ty, proposing to co operate with tbe Cape Fear and Yadkin Vallej Road from Greensboro to layette- vine. There are also in progress tbe Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Road and tbe Western N. C. Road. Then there" is tbe Midland, running from Danville through Winston to the South, and also lh North Car olina Midland, which Jir. Best is now having surveyed. The Oxford Road is completed. Another line is projected from Clarksville, via Henderson, to Louisbu'g. and thence to Raleigh. Tbe road from - . a a y i a a Uali rax to Scotland xieca win oe finished during the Fall. It is contemplated to begin at an early day tbe Raleigh and Rocky Mount or Wilson Road, pushing on to Tarboro and Wiiliamston. The Wilaon neoole propose a branch of thH Wilmington and Weldon R ad to run to Greenville, Pitt county. A coast Hue is projected to emer the State in Hertford county, tul South to Gt.ddboru, ttmce to Favetteville i aod tb trice to Florence, S.1 C. The Elizabeth Citv Road is being pushed on to Edenton. while the little branch of the N. O. Road to the N. C. Univer sity will be finished this Fall. Salt for the Throat. Tn these davs. when diseases of the throat are so nniversally preva lent, and in so many cases fatal, we f-l it our dotv to say a worn in behalf of a most (ffeotual, if no; tositive cure for sore throat. For many years past, indeed we may say during tbe whole ot a life of more than forty years, we have been subject to sore throat, and particularly to a dry hacking cough, which is not only distress ing to onrselves, but to our friend nri thnaa with whom we are brought Into business contact. Last fall we were induced to try what vii tue there was in common salt. We commenced by using it three times a day morning, noon and night. We dissolved a large tablespoonful of pure table ealt in abont a half small tumbler full ot water. With this we gargle the throat most thoroughly just before meal time. The result has beeu that during the entire winter we were not only free from coughs and colds, but the dry backing cough has entirely disappeared. .We attribute these satisfactory results solely to tbe nse of salt gargle, and "moat cordially recom mend a trial of it to those who are sobjec: to diseases of the throat. Many persot-s who have never tried the salt gargle have the im pression that it i unpleasant. Such is not ! the iC;e.

The messenger who got the arm said that he found it just as Parker had sai l it was. with the fingers cramp ed under it. This is one of the most singular, .yet well authenti cated cases on record, where a man could feel in an arm which had been ;cut off many hoars. The pbysiqians are baffled to account for if, ami can only class it under the ead ct the unexplainable phenom enal mysteries whieh are some times u:et nature. with in tbe s udy of tJonftaence in Self. Rely on yourself: take! it for granted that you can accomplish y our plana. Never say "I tan't" they are ignoble words. He who does not feel within himself the power to conquer fate is not a man in tbe true sense of the word. Of course it is a misfortune for him, since he can never be any! benefit to himself or anybody else.

Fortune de tests cowardice; andL the man who will not be conquered by trifles is bi-r- prime favorite. .Yarrow Escape at Itherille. On Wednesday last, at Asheville, Mihn Bettie Hawkins, of Franklin, and Miss Sallie Carter, of Raleigh, were rnjoying a pleasant horseback ride in tbe suburbs of that! beauti ful little city, when the j former made a narrow escape, and but for her wonderful presence of mind and bravery under the most trying circomatances, tbe angel ot deatn would have claimed ber a victim. While descending a steep hill they discovered a double team attached to a wagon coming in the rear at fnll speed. Failing in the attempt to escape on horseback Miss Bettie dismounted, but lound it impossi ble to make safe ber retread Hard pressed by the maddened steeds, death stared her in tbe face, out ithicalm deliberation shje threw hem't upon the ground, when tho horses passed over on either side and an instant afterward she was clasped in the arms of her j friends unhurt.

When von wish to knd what and the weather is to be, go put select the smallest cloud iyou see.

The eating world will have occa sion to throw np its cap it the discovery lately announced that cotton seed oil ia "a most satisfac tory substitute for lard" be con. firmed. I hope it is ' true, for the sake especially of the many house keepers who are sorely tried in their cooking , by that product of the swine, which, like butter, varies in tbe quality, and whose odor. wnen sizzing in tbe frying pani awakens in the imaginative kitcW en goddess visions of pent upj garbage fed and slimy porkers and perhaps a notion or two of trichina snugly ensconced in j the cozy vesicles. Ho one is afraid of good vegetable oil. Its impressions are! cool and historic and agreeable. It whispers of dewy meadows, refreshi tag ureezeu, sweet aromas, auu hu on. But I lard ! Everything it; suggests is heating and exasperat ing. However, more to the point : Col. Nelson, of HantsviIIe, Ala.,! says he baa repeatedly used cotton, seed oil at his hoase, aod finds it equal to the best article of lard. A hotel keeper at Memphis publishes a statement to tbe same enect. it has been tried by several citizens of Tuscumbia, Ala., who ! say that they can find no difference between. the oil and lard as an article for cooking. Tbe best thing about it; as most economical housewives will say, is the cost, that being now not more than half the price; of the pork extract. And should . this discovery tarn out a fact undenia ble what a revolution it will pro duce in tbe pork trade I Aod what an impulse it will give to the cotton interest, coming just in time to speed the revival of industry and enterprise in the South. Everybody mast grease the pan tbe bvgienist for his roll, the beef eater for bis steak and all ar - will heartily welcome the sweet, translucent distillation of nature. N. Y. Tribune. - - j Cuiteau and the Guard. A Desperate Attempt to Kill One of the Guard at the Jaiu Washington, Angus! 17.. A report was current here tms moru ing that Guiteau had attempted to kill one of the guards at ! the jail, but it was stated at the police headquarters that the report was without foundation. It is learned, however, that the report was true. At an early hour this morning, as W. C. McGill, one of the guards, passed Guiteau's cell he noticed something wrong and entered the cell. He found a knife in Gaiteaa's possession, and demanded it, but Guiteau refused to give it up. McGill drew! a pistol, and a strug gle ensued. Guiteau made a des perate effort ( to secure the pistol, and succeeded in getting it away from McGill after a severe struggle. McGill regained possession of the pistol, which, being ! discharged during the scuffle, brought other guards to his assistance, and Gui teau was disarmed.
