His Own Mcdicico. Dr. and Mrs. Morton liad finishcil tillln, am! were discussing some private theatricals, which, followed by a ball, wero to take place tliat evening at thinness-house of the - th. Tlio sntjf-t was a delicate one, for on it they lirld decided, but unfortunately divided opinions. The doctor had a prejudice against such things, and, though in most respects very indulgent to his pretty little wife, objected to her at tending them. She, however, was bent on doing so. "Von know, dear, that it is the very last of the season, and every one will be there." "Ami you know my rooted objection to these entertainments, Ada, why do you urge me?" "Then when shall I ever have an op portunity of showing off that lovely pink and silver cloak you got from Madras on my birthday?" pouted the young wife. "Ah, that is a deeply important mnt ter!" laughed the doctor. "We must see if we cair't get up a dance in our bungalow, l.Ule woman," corilinu- d lie somewhat inconsequent ly. "liut thai won't be a ball and the atricals to-night; and by that time Daddahhhoy. Iliiinariageo and tin-other Parsees will have their shoj s tilled with the new-fashioned cloak, while as yet mine is the only one of the canton ment. 1 really do think, William, ymi might let me go. 1 am sure I sit pa tiently enough through those soli um dinners and scientific reunions of which you are so fond." "Well, well, as it is the very last of the season, I suppose I must be amia ble for once; but "Oh, that's a dear, go d, disagreea ble old thing!" -Slid bis wife, giving him a k.ss; and without waiting to hear more, in a flutter of delight she 'eft the room. When left to himself the doctor pon dered their late conversation, and left by no means satisfied with bis share in it. Still, having consented, he deter mined to do so with a good grace, and, on Mrs. Morton presently re-entering to look for something, lie said, "Hy the way, dear, when idiall I order the pa Ian ,uin for you?" Still continuing her search sho re rcphi'd rather absently, "Oh, any time, I shall only want it returning; the Hills will call for me going." Dr. Morton was taken aback. "So," be exclaimed, "you had ar ranged to go with or without my consent!" With a little start, she answered somewhat confusedly, "Well, I thought you would be sure to give me leave, William, and- -" "As you have chosen to net so whol ly indoptn Icntly," interrupted her husband, angrily, "I withdraw the consent 1 so unwittingly gave. The house shall be closed at the usual hour, and if you do not happen to be at home at 11 o'clock, we do not sleep under the same roof this night." And in high displeasure Ir. Morton left the louse; nor did lie return for more than a couple of hours, during which his mood had more ti.au once changed. The first irritation over, ho felt that it w.is hard upon his pet to deny her the pleasure to which but the moment be f -re he had assented. How would he bear to spend tho long evening oppo site that disappointed, wistful little face? It began, too, to dawn upon bim (h it "the whole cantonment" which in India, where private life is mo e. distinctly public property than in any other corner of the world, stand . for our esteemed old friend, Mrs. Grundy might, as has ever been its ,;ont, put an unkind construction on motives it did not understand; might hint that he was not so much standing hy his principles which in fact, he had yielded as avenging his own of f.nded dignity. The result of all which cogitation was that if, on his re turn home, he should find that she had accepted both disappointment and re buke in a proper spirit, much, indeed a'.l, dependent on that -she should go with t'r-'ir friends to the ball; or cen in ..ir probable event of their having already called, he would show his mag nanimity by taking her himself. Just then a carriage drove swiftly past his; bt recognized it to be the Ilills's, and in it could he erf dit his senses? all radiant with smiles, wrapped in her new cloak, sat his wifp, who, in merry defiance, kissed her hands to him as they passed. IJoth ball and theatricals were de lightful, and none enjoyed them more than the volatile and fascinating Mrs. Morton. In the gayety of her spirits she confided to one after another of her dearest friends her husband's threat; and to one or two who ex pressed some fear that he might carry it out she laughingly replied that she did not think that that would be at all likely; but in the event of anything so improbable, she had still her palanquin, in which she could rest till gun-lire, when, of course, the house would bo opened. 1 am told that nowadays palanquins are in as little request in India as se dan chairs in F.ngland; but in Dr. and -Mrs. Morton's time for know, O read er, that my story is founded on fact they were, eeept in the evening driv, the most general mode of carriage. In thn veranda of every houso ono or more might always be seen, with their bearers at hand, ready for instant ser vice by day or by night. It was past 2 o'clock when Dr. Mor ton heard, coming down the compound, the moaning monotonous cry of the bearers ho carried their mistress to her home. Placing' the palanquin in tho veranda, they called loudly lor admission, striking the door with their hands, in no small wonder that it had not, as usual, been thrown wide at their approach. Fxpoctatjon of the enming triumph hail driven sleep from his pillow; and he now turned his head with a grim smile, for his revenge, was at hand- the little rebel should learn a lesson never to be forgotten. To the bearers' voices was soon ad ded that of their ini.-t ress's; indignant ly, entreat ingly. coaxingly she called in turn. She reminded her liul-aiut that their veranda was overlooked from tin- road "Let me in, I beg, I en treat of you, William. It will be gun fire in a couple of hours, and if seen here I shall be the laughing-stock of t In- whole Mat ion. d-i let me iii!" To which her sternlv. "We shall William, dear. busban 1 answered not rest under the same roof this night ;" and he chuckled to himself, for lie only intended to keep ln-r waiting a few minutes. For a moment Mrs. Morton seemed irresolute; then having said a few words to the In : 1 bearer, she cried aloud iu a passionate burst of sobs, "I will sooner die than submit t such hu miliatinii:" and. billowed by her ser vants, she rnslied away. There was a long wailing cry--a shriek a heavy splash. G 1 heavens! could it be could it be p iss'blc that his impetuous wife had thrown hcr silf into the well? Hark to those wild cries as the bearers run hither and thither with loud exclamations and calls for help. Paralyzed with fear, the husband could with difficulty open the door; then rushing out he would have flung himself into the tt ill rippling water, in a mad attempt at rescue, had not a bearer hung upon his arm, a", in broken 'English, he tried to explain that his mistress was safe. "Then where is she? What is all this row about? Who has fallen in? What ar.e yon all yelling for?" "For Mem Sahib tell, 'throw big btoiie down well;' then too inueh bob bery make; run this way. that way plenty great tainnshu. Mem Sahib make big cry, then Mem run away." Dr. Morton knew himself outwitted, for doubtless bis wife had taken ad vantage of the door she bad thus sue. ceeded in opening. Ah, well, though vexed at the trick, he was by no means sorry that the conflict was at an end, till-1 that they should both pass what remained of the night in peaceful rest, lie dismissed t lie bearers, and returned to the house, but to find it shut! the door was dosed, and obstinately re sisted all efforts to open it; while a voice from the window from which he had himself so lately spoken, said "We shall not sleep under the same roof this night." The doctor, with an uneasy laugh, lirst treated the situation as a silly joke, Ihen expostulated, then stormed; but, all w ithout avail or even notice. lie called to the ayah to open the door; but her answer was that she was locked in Mem's room, and Mem had the key under her pillow. He stamped at lirst with anger, but soon with cold, for his night pyjamas offered slight protection against the chill morning air. At length seeing the palanquin, he got into it. The lovely cloak was lying on the cushions; he drew the hood over his head, its deli cate hues in stiil-ing contrast to his sunburn"d face and disheveled hair and dragging it round his broad shoulders with an angry tug, settled himself to sleep. The gun had lin d. the "assembly" sounded, but tii the doctor slept on. Sot was he raised by the sound of horses' hoofs, as a bevy of ladies, on- escorted except by servants, rode uj to the door. They would be joined it their ride by their husbands alter par ade; and then, after a final round o: the course, assemble at the house oi one other of their party to chota-haz zarie and a lively discussion of absent, friends. In much surprise they waited a min ute or so before the closed and silent house; then, with significant glances, ono after another slid from her saddle, determined to solve the mystery. Ah. there it isl A little corner of the cloak worn the night before by Mrs. Morton peeped out of the closed door of the palanquin; 'twas evident that the poor littje thing had been obliged to seek that shelter. "What a shame!" They would speak to her, they would com fort her, and oh, what a laugh they would have against her! They grouped themselves round tho palanquin, bend ing low to peer in; and one on either side drew back the sliding doors as gracious! Dr. Morton, still half asleep, slowly opened his eyes. Most effectual ly was he wakened by the startling ex clamation with which the visitors hastily retreated to their horses, which they were just in tho act of mounting as the door was thrown open, and Mrs. Morton appeared in her riding-habit. They immediately rode away, to the infinite satisfaction of the recumbent but impatient doctor, who was in mor tal fear that fresh complications might arise through his unexplained absence from duty bringing message of inquiry. At the meeting of husband and wife we would rather not play fly in the corner, but take for granted that there was the usual amount of tears, recrimination and hysterics, iu which -for this occasion only a torn and crumpled fabric of pink and silver look an active part; the sight of i from time to time stimulating Mrs Morton's grief and eloquence, while her husband, who, smarting the expose of the morning, had entered on the fray with unusual spirit, soon found himself vanquished, limp and utterly dismayed, as his own inconsistent, tyrannical and selfish conduct was contrasted -not for the first time-., wiih the patient endurance of his long suffering wife. Neither of this nor of the reconcilia tion that followed in natural sequence, shall we make record; but we must of the pleasing fact that, at the very next concert, Mrs. Morton, leaning on her husband's arm, appeared in most ex cellent spirits, her cloak, this time of amber and gold, being admired by all beholders. ."" Nwh I;;. Saipo anil Tapioca. Sago and tapioca differ in value ma terially, as was show n rei entry in a lawsuit between merchants of the Pa cific coast. Tho difference is explain ed in the plants arid in the cost of pro duction. The sago tree is a palm, twenty-live feet high. It grows iu the marshes of Singapore and 1 1 cw'n re in China, where plantations of one thous and acres are often seen. . -ago palm is not ripe for its first an-l - in1, harvest till fifteen years from the plant ii. . Its diameter is then some twenty inches. The harvester works on a shiftily; plank in the swamp, and fells the tn.. close to the ground. The bark being removed the body of the tree consists of soft pith, which is broken and ground in water while the pulp is be ing stirred. Transferred to a vat, the starch is precipitated and the water drawn oft, after which tho starch is dried and ground into the sago Hour of commerce, fhiie-s.- tapioca differs e-s ntially. The plant grows fifteen feet high, and fruits in two years; otherwise it is not unlike tho potato. livery motion is thn same as in the potato field. Grasping the plant its huge bunch of massive roots is shaken and taken to mill, w here, being w ashed and stripped by machinery, the tapioca of commerce is made a-s sago is precisely. Space Iu the Universe. The nearest of the fixed stars is twenty trillions (20,O00,O00,00i),OO0) of miles distant from us. The next in distance is four times farther removed. If we attempt to lix an average dis tance for the surrounding group of fixed stars nearest our system, we could not safely give it h radius of less than four hundred trillions of miles. Yet what does this involve? Light, w hich reaches us from the sun in eight and a half minutes, would take seventy years in its journey across this vast domain of space. If th volume of space included within our soiar system were occupied with one huge sphere of .ri,li0O,UiKI,0O0 milea diameter, even such a mighty mass would be but as a limit ing feather in the marvelous spread of empty space surrounding. This space would contain twenty-seven hun dred trillions of sii'-h spheres, and would contain the material contents of our solar sv tem a number of times in dicated by the figure -r with twenty two ciphers annexed.

The editor o the Dcs M- in.- ;. kr publishes the follow in;.; b tter. signed, W.A.Scott, M. !.: la long years gone by you published my cure for diphtheria. It attracted wide spread attention, and became known as the ".';.v.'- r diphtheria cure," and saved hundreds of lives, as thankful letters received by me show. The years of progress and thought have brought better treatment, because not so slow in a tion. I have lately re ceived several letters asking for the treatment as published iu the .' H'yln; their much treasured copies containing the same ha mg been loa ie.l. mislaid or lost. I lii.w give my improved treatment, which can 1-e had at any drug-store, and used h an p'-rs- n without iian,. r. Take ten grains of permanganate - f p- ia---i.ini ..n.l mix it with one ounce of cold water. As Soon as disrolved i. loilst be applied with a rag or sponge iu. ip or -wab t the whitish places in tiie tonsils, and other parts th..t have the diphtheria membrane on. Do th s very gently, but thoroughly, every three hours until better; then eery six hours until well. It does n t give pain, but is rather nauseous to the ta-te. If the tongue is coated w hite I mix one drachm of hyposulphite of soda and live drops of oil sassafras in four ounces of syrup made of sugar and hot wait r, and give a tea poon ful every one to three hours as needi d, whin awake. If the tongue is not (nated white I mix twenty drops of t r.cture of Phyto lacca in four oune s of e.-ld water, and give a tea-spoonful every one to three hours as needed, v!;ori awake. The Phytolacca is the c.mm-ni poke root of the South, and as it I es its strength by drying an-l age. the tincture should be from the fresh root or it is worth less. It is well to apply a little sweet oil, or cosinoline, t th itside of tin throat to protect it from the action of the air. as the pa'ieiit must be pro tected from all danger of getting chilled. In the b. ginning of the disease in mild ca.-i s. the ab.ive solu tion of permanganate of p. tas.Mum is all I use. and all that is needed, as the disease is loca'e I at lirsl. but rapidly alTectsthe whole sv -.tclii when seated.

Aggre.-sive. bold and defiant, he would occasionally strike out recklessly at everything and everybody about him, like tin huge wild buffaloes of the Missouri praii'es. treating his oppo nents beneath ids feet in his angry rush. His greatest display of ungover nable rage in tiie s-.-uat-- chamber, was when, iu aa angry debate, he advanced with threatening gestures toward Senator l'oote. of Mis.-issippi, who, fearing that he was to be attacked, drew a small pocket -pistol. The sight of this weapon made licntnu uncon trollable, and. endeavoring to shake off the grasp of li ie:i Is who seized him ho shouted: "I he cowardly assassin, let him shoot me if he dares. I never earry arms, and he knows it. Let Ihe assassin fire." After quiet was some what restored, Clay suggested that both senators should enter into bonds to keep the peace, upon which l'.enton rose and exclaimed: "I will rot in jail, air, before I will doit!

One day he made the discovery llnrt. if he closed right ear firmly, the Uln-i-m disappea ed; but, if the left i.ir were closed, t .e words were still distinctly heard. It was hence clear that the center for hearing on the riubt side was the one alfecled, and that tha' on the left side was normal. For a 1-mg time this gentleman resisted ae. -opting any of these illusions as' facts, but after a time he began to be influenced by thelii to the extent of regarding thein as guides. I! cut uaily he put clocks iu every room in his house, and professed to be governed altogether by the directions they gave him. 1: Ihniuiii'ii'l in I'i'fiiiiir No, ifi M'iiiIIiIi.
