I can't remember when thoydid not' say that. But from all that I can learn, I was not a qneer baby. I cried like, any other child, and was quite a? troublesome, so the queerneas must have been acquired. I cajvnot discover wherein my qneer nosfl lies; when I ask my friends, they Bay, "Why well, you are different froip other folks." A very clear and satisfac tory definition I ' .. This having the word "queer" at tached to my name used to annoy me; my dolls were the only specimens of hu manity to whom I confessed this. To ' them I confided all my secrete and my manifold trials. They were attentive lis- my prime favorite-, and on, mere were eo many of them I cannot descrilte them. When I was eleven years old our folks tried to make mo think I was too old to play with dolls. I felt as though life would have no pleasure for me were my dolls taken from mo. No ono knowing how I loved them. I usod to go to my Wm and, looking the door toTiecp uiy fun-loving brothers and sister from in truding, I would play by the hour with my miniature family. " "Another favorite resort of mine was the purrut. It wiw full of boxoB, barrels and chests, contain ing pajiers, books and letters. Many ? the letters werff Very ancient, written Uv relatives f whom l had scarcely Iicn;l. I here- .were lot-wra trom parents children,-from brother Wr sinters, and love-letters. The latter intt ivst d me the most, although' I-thought they were rather silly.. I nupiote I could not ap preciate the height and depth, and length and breadth, of tho tender pas eion. ' Filling my pockets with apples, T would take jiossession of the garret and arm or rocker, and there I would sit for omo conitortaiue out cimir. minus au hours, reading. I had a passion for chost stories, and stories of robbers and pirates, although they used to frighten me terribly. When 'in the midst of a most frightful etory, down would. tumble a bundle of something from the rafters, making, isoasiderahle noise, and leading me toAmagino the ghosts and the robbers bad stepiied from the liook to the garret. An old apple-tree stood by one of the windows; it had the greatest faculty for unearthly creaking and groaning, and the lightning-rod kept up a malicious racket. I declare it is a wonder I didn't lose my senses, reading so much trash and hearing so mtuiy fearful Bounds. But this has nothing to do with my ' lodger." I believe I am becoming gar rulous. In the first place, I must tell you papa was a rich farmer,, and our neighliors were " few and far between." When I was in my twelfth year papa and mamma made up their minds to take a pleasure trip to the far West This was something unusual; they sel dom left home. Well, they went; and my two sisters, two brothers and myself Lad a gay time " keeping house. " One day, all except myself and our servant girl were invited to go to a din ner party. J confess I dreaded to have them go. - "Kate, we will bring you any amount of candy," said one. "Now, pet, you know you and Sarah ean stay here just as well as not," said another. . , "Don't be a baby, Kitty," said a third. 7 Finally, I resignedly bade them " get out of my sight Sarah and I were good friend; she told me stories and sang songs till I be can to think it was quite a fine thing to be left at home. Tired of staying In the house, I saun tered down the front walk, and amused myself by indulging in a forbidden pleas ure swinging on the gate. Look ing down the road, I spied a man .lonir. I flew to the house, and. Aatisflnd that he wns eominK in. I ran t fcarah. Seizing her dress with Ixith bands, I exolaimsd niUivmnia i mere is a areaanu-ioott. ing maa oumuig into tno nouse r .

Harah didn't want to leave me, and unless she started home'tlien, she might not see her mother aliVe. It was nearly timo for the rest of the folks to come home, sal mannered to iitw cuusauu eiiiHiuiT no but uiui j. wua li:.. i . i . woiitig w remain aiorie. ' : , , , la a few ininutos Barah was off. qnd I wns loft in possession. of oufgroat house, ' winch never seomed so large to mo tte fore. I tried to read, but it was impossi ble; all the murder stories Iliad 'over heard came to my mind. I rcmem1erod tJ'itt none of our doors could le locked. P-ipn, who had a few strange ideas, de clared that locks were a nuisance. 1 felt that I was doomed. I went out to the yard, and, to my dis may, discovered that the sky was over cast and a storm near at hand. I could see the rain coming; faster and faster it came; it was soon at the house. Oh, how it did rain 1 On each side of our yard way a brook, pretty and peaceable in pleasant weather, but a very little rain trans formed them both into raging torrents. As I stood at the window I saw first one bridge, .and then the other, swept off. I knew now that I must stay alone all night; it would be impossible for my brothers and sisters to get home. Travelers, or, as Sarah called them, "tramjpers," often stopped at our house over night, as there was no public-house near. To say horror, I now saw ono of them coming across the field. Should I hide ? No, that was not to be thought of. Without stopping j to knock, the great rough man walked jn. ; . " Can I stay here all night?" I dared not refuse him, so as firmly as I could, answered, Yes." He seemed surprised at seeing no one but myself, and questioned me much. I told him my brother . waS up stairs writing; that we two were alone. This was the first, tiling that entered my head to toll him. Such a yilliano'iB counte nance as that man had ! His hair was cut closo toJiis JieaJ .TiB luv unini ors " Ul oolu reilei. Wicked-loolunsr eves, and a brutal mouth, comploted his general expression of ferocity. Bed-time came, and I directed the man to a room up-stairs in the servants' de partment; not the "np-stairs" where I had said my brother was. Now that there was real danger, I was calm and reasonable. I fastened the door that led np-stairs with my embroidery scis sors, which happened to be in my iioekeV so aa to guard against surprise, and hur riedly collecting our silverware, carried it to mamma's room and hid it in the bed. No one would have supposed the 'bed had been disturbed. . I was elated at my ingenuity. , I then huntodsiip what few jeweft the girls possessed, and placing them, with what money I could find, in a lox, I tied them in my pocket. After doing this, I stole down -stairs, and removed my wis sors from the door, These scissors were counted among my most valuable treas ures. I had had them many years and was not disposed to lose them now. ' I expected the man would only wait liill he thouirht I and my fictitious brother were asleep, and would then search tho house for valuables, and finish by killing me. Only one plan for escape that I originated seemed feasible. I de termined to wait till I hoard my lodger in the room lielow, and then wrnp my self in papa's shawl, and jump out of tho window. I was not kept in suspehse long; the peculiar squeak of the sitting room door alarmed nie that it was timo to act Quietly I raised tne window, and just as tho steps approached the stairs, I jumped to tho ground. Fortu nately there was a bed of lilies directly beneath the window, and they softened my fall. That there was danger of breaking my neck I had not thought. I was determined to escape from tliis dreadful man. It was dark as Egypt, the rain was pouring down in torrents, but tliis was nothing in comparison with the horror within the house. Half a mile back of our house lived a friend of papa's Mr. Vincent I re solved to go there. I ran along, stumbl ing against fences and falling into ditches, thinking I never knew such a long half mile. Finally I reached the house, and managed to tell my story. Several young men happened to have been delayed there by the storm, and, headed by Henry Vincent, a young man of some twenty-two years, they pre pared to capture my visitor. I ' was too excited to remain at Mr. Vincent's. I declared I would go back home. They all tried to persuade ino not to do tins except Henry Vincent, who said "such a little heroine should do as she pleased." With a hand tightly clasped in Henry's, we started. When we eame within sight of our house, we saw a light flitting from room to room, and a few words of boisterous song floated to us on tho breeze: Si lently my friends surrounded the house, guarding every avenue of esenpe. Henry and I (I would not let him leave me for a moment) entered the house. We found the vagalxind searching papa's desk. He had found several hundred dollars that I hail not sten, when preparing" for flight He startod to run when lie saw us, but finding men and revolvers on all sides, ho whs obliged to surreiiiler. He was suf ely itouud, and then ques tiuued. It appears he was a noted tui f who had long bullied the police, lie said when he learned the house was Oc cupied only by two individuals, he was much elated. He did not intend to pro ceed to acta of violonoe, unless my,, brothel and I troubled him too much. When ho found the house deserted, be concluded I had not told hiin the truth mat I was alone. Not finding me, hi supposed I had hid, , and he woukl iot hunt for me, , , Jiifting me into his ' lap, nonry Vin cent called me the "bravest little woman, he ever knew." ; All tho others praised and fluttered mo:- till I 1mc:lii fe think niin woretineatextidkera th.-iwaoit--'All that night we stiyud tlero, and le foro morning I was raving like a lunatic. Three long weeks: I remained unoon scious.". When I liecame sensiblo, anx ious faces were Ixsnding over mo. Papa, mamma, and all tho folks wcro at my bedside. - "What is the matter?" I asked. In a moment that dreadful day came to my re membrance. "Oh, I know!" said I, with a shudder. , It was a long, long time before I re gained my strength. Every person petted and praised me. I was tho heroine of the. neighborhood. Henry Vincent never became tired of descanting upon my bravery, and devoted himself to me in a manner that would have been very aggrivating to his young lady acquain tance, had I been a few years older. . TVfv "lodcer" was sent to orison tn meditate for some years. Tight Shoes. The wearing of shoes which compress and distort the feet is a sigularly injur ious custom. Suppose I said that nine-; tenths of the feet were rendered mis-: shapen by the boots and shoes worn, the statement would seem extreme, but it would be within the truth. The pointed shoe or boot is the most signal instance of a. mischievous instrument designed for the torture "of feet In this shoe the great .,foe is forced out of its . natural line toward the other toes, giving a teyferse curve from what is natural to th Germinal part of the inner side of the foowhilejdl .the other toes are com pressed together toward the great toe, the whole producing a wedge-like form of foot which is altogether apart from the natural. Such a foot has lost its ex panse of tread; such a foot has lost- its elastic resistance; such a foot has lost tne strength oi its arch to a very consid- points of its surface, has become hard at those points, ana is easily aneciea wiui corns and bunions. Lastly, such A foot becomes badly nourished, and the pres sure exerted upon it interferes with' its circulation and nutrition. It ceases to be an instrument upon which the body can sustain itself with grace and with easiness of movement, even in early life; w Idle in mature life and in old age it be comes a foot which is absolutely unsafe, and which causes much of that irregular, hobbling tread which of ten-renders so peculiar the gait of persons who4have iiiikki'.I tlteir meridian. It sometimes happens for a time that thtse mistakes hi regard to the boot and shoe are increased by the plan of ruisiug the heel, and letting it rest on a raised impediment of a pointed shape. Any tliuig more barbarous can scarcely be conceived. By this meauB the lody, which should naturally be balanced on a rmiut.

A New Hat and an Old Cheese. Probably the meanest trick that was eve played on a white man was played last' week in this city, and the fact that there is no vigilance committee here is the only reason the perpetrators r" the trick are alive. A business man hau just purchased a new stiff hat and .he went into a saloon with half a dozen friends to fit the hat on his head. They all took beer and passed tho hat around so all eouldsce it. One of tho meanest men that ever held a country office went to tho bar-tender and had a thin slice of L:m biirgcr cheese cut off, and when the rWrtir wuro lixiVincr of fhfi frpSCOed Ceiluiil Tt:Jk)b thewe!(rf!ws this wicked per L& slipped t nu J5r the sweats U atner ol the lif ana me man put u on ann waiaea ous. xnu muu who wrueu the7 hat is one of yout ucrvons people who is always complaining of being sick and who feels as though some dreadful dis ease was going to take possession of him and carry him off. He went back to his place of business, took off his hat, and laid it on the table and proceeded to in swer some letters. He thought he de tected a smell, and when his partner asked him if he didn't feel sick he said he, believed he did. The man turned pale and said he guessed he would go home. He met a man on the sidewalk who-said the air was full of miasma, and irx the street car a man who sat next to him moved away to one end of the car, and asked him if he had just come from Chicago. The man with the hat said he had not, when the stranger said they were having a great deal of small-pox there, and he guessed he would get out and walk, and he pulled the bell and jumped off. The cold prespiration broke out on the forehead of the manwith tho new hat, and he took it off to wipe his forehead when the whole piece of cheese seemed to roll out and breathe, and the man got the full benefit of it, and he came near fainting away. He got home; and his wife met him and asked him what was the matter. He said he be lieved mortification had set in, and she took one whiff as he took off his hat, and said she should think it had. 5 Where did you get into it?" said she! - "Get into it?" said the man, " I have not got into anything, but some deadly disease has got hold of me, and I shall not live." " She told him if any disease that smelled like that had got hold of him and was going Kliffilt, HutlioiiLrhhe would be a burthen to himself if he lived very man slept and dreamed that a small-pox nag was nung in irom ih. u that he was- riding in a wagon to the pest housb. The wife sent for a doctor, and when the man of pills arrived she told him all about the case. The doctor picked up the patient's new hat, tried it on and got sniff. He said the hat wo ji...j i.f.,ib 4f won rirw. The dootor and the wife held a post mortem exam- tnation ol the nat anu iuiuiu Limburger. "Few and short were th prayers they said." They woke the pa tient, and to prepare his mind for the revelation that was alxmt to be made, t he doctor asked him if his wori.uy auan were in a satisfactory condition. 11a gasped and said they were. -The doctoi asked him if he luul mode his will. He said he had not, but that he wanted o lawyer sent for at once. The doctor asked him if he felt as thought he was prepared to shuffle off. The man said he had always tried to lead a different life, and had tried to be done by the same as he would do it to himself, but he might have made a misdeal some way, and he would like to have a minister sent for to take 'an account of stock. . Then the doctor brought to the liedsule the hat, opened up the sweat-leather and showed the dying man what it was that smelled so, and told him he was as well as any man in the city.

On lasi Tuesday afternoon thij mule in question as not working, and amused itself romping around the corral. There was a post containing a number ol nails partly driven within the confines of the iuclosure, and the mule discovered that fact Backing up within easy reaching distance, it becan kicking the nails home. When the head of a nail projected but a short distance would tap it gently with its iron-bound hoof, and drive it just as a carpenter with a Rood hammer would a nail. hen a nail was only half driven then it would require a heavier blow; but the mu e apparently understood perfectly the weight to be applied to, a nail. Nmie thing like fifty or sixty nails were driven in this manner, and then a rough eld twentv-penny was encountered. Two or three fair blows were adminis tered without ny perceptible results, and then the mule fairly trembled with subdued rage and anger. Stepping a little further away from the post it laid bark its ears, doubled up its back and fired away with both ends. Ihe blow mu a terrific one and the post was broken off to the ground In the kick, though, the mule had in some manner outdone itself and sprained the tendons of the left hind leg seriously, and now cors lame. It is the first instance wlvere a mule has been known to lame itself in a kicking matinee. (.rass as a Material for Paper. It has been discovered that any ofthe common grasses make a superior article, and a patent has leen issued to the dis coverer. The following is the process: " The manufacture of paper pulp and paper from common grass is one of the novelties for which a patent has been ob tained. Any of the common grasse found in the field, lawn, or meadows may be used, and it is said that tho green grass pulp produced from them makes a xaper of great strength and length of fibre, and possesses tenacity, Boftness and flexibility; and further, that this paper is even softer and more trans parent than that made of lineif. " An ad vantage not to be overlooked is the one of economy, since one square foot gives in tho whole year, 0.9 to 1.0 of a pound of green grass, making from 30,492 to 6(1,340 pounds to the acre. One pound of green gross makes one-fourth to One sixth of a pound of fine, bleached, and finished paper, or 2,711 pounds of fin ished paper to the acre. "So long as tho sap is in circulation and the chlorophyl, silica, and other in organic matters are not dried in, in which event the fibre is seriously impaired for the purpose ot paier, either old or young grass may be used, but, to avoid danger, it is lest'to have the grass cut or niowr before it liegins to bloom. " The first process of manufacture is to pass the grass between the rollers of tho press, .which crushes ' or loosens the fibre and squeezes out most of the sap. It is then freed from dirt by 1eing thor oughly agitated or washed by other means in a large tank of water, in temperature either warm or cold. perforated fidse bottom in the tank contains the . grass and allows the dirt to full into the com partment below,' from a pipe gives egress to the dirt and wash water. After suffi cient washing the crushed grass is boiled in an open kettle, or in a steam kettle with lye, in proportions of a pound of caustic soda, or two-tenths of a pound of caustic potash.or six-tenths of liine to 100 pounds of grass. With an open kettle the boiling is continued from four to five hours; with a steam kettle two hours will suffice. "From the kettle the material goce into a filtering-trough of magnesia for about thisty minutes, then is placed a second time in a solution of carbonate of soda, and finally, a second time in a so lution of sulphuric acid. These opera tions may be repeated more or less, till the pulp is as hue ana wnne as requu wi, after winch n is wasneu uimJ!. TwAaQjk'j- rniiteiStiorPleach it with a solution of chloride of lime or chloride of soda. Still another is to bleach tne crude pulp in chlorine gas, and finish w ith water-glass, alter wnieu ukj j"r washed with clear water. , it Colonel Gardner Takes a Appetizer.

A new planet of the eleventh magni tude has been been recently discovered by I'alisa at Pola. Arsenic may be discovered by its smell ; when placed near the fire it emits a flavor like garlic. William Hallowes Miller, the well-known crystallographer and miner alogist, is dead at the age of seventy nine. Sulphide of barium enclosed in a Geissler tube and traversed by a con stant but weak electric fluid civesout a pretty, uniform, and agreeable light. It is proposed to hold at Liverpool a loan exhibition of prehistoric antiquities and ethnography, for the purpose of il lustrating the natural history of primi tive and uncivilized man, and the var ious developments of culture peculiar to the different races of mankind. It is now maintained by some scien tists of repute that the same poison gives rise to tno several diseases known as scarlatina, puerperal fever, typhoid, diphtheria, erysipelas, varying in its re sults according to the surroundings and the constitution of the patients. The remains of a large swimming and flying bird, exhumed from the London clay near Sheppy, were recently cle- . scribed before the Geological Society of London. It evidently belonged to the same genus as the common albatross, but was considerably larger. Dr. Bollinger says, that the milk of cows suffering from tubercular disease will communicate that affection to hu- .. man beings. Boiling will not destroy the propagating pow er. He also makes the alarming statement thac five tier cent, of old cows have tubercular dis ease.
