If people caught sight continually of themselves, they would hardly indulge in the grimaces and gaucheries which they now inflict om the world.

On Tuesda, inst I called to see Col. Lewis D. ‘ampbell, who has been confined te his root by sickness for some weeks, as he still is, though bis health ts slowly \mproving. T found him stretehed on a lounge before a blazing coal | tire, glancing over the Commercial. In the | course of conversation he said he had just been | used by ap allusion in it to Wash. Mclean’s | strategy in capturing Gen. Dix when he ap- | peared at that general's headquarters in New York during the war, asking permission to pase a large demjohn of good old whisky to Koger A. Pryor, of Va., then a prisoner at Fort fayette. you may remember, said the colonel, that when the war commenced, Pryor was a secesh editor in Richmond, and that it would be necessary to sprinkle blood in the faces of the Teople in order to get up & good war feeling?” “This is @ most extraordinary request you | make, Mr. McLean,” said Gen. I “what rea- | | | | son have you for asking me to pass this whisky to Gen, Prsor 2” Wash. quickly replied, «'Be- cause Pryor likes whisky!” This argument was irresistible, and knocked old “ Shoot-him- on-the-spot” outof time. Pryor gotthe whisky. Soon afterward, continued Colonei Camp. bell, McLean and I casually met at Washing- ton. We both had rooms at the Metropolitan Hotel. 1 had personally. known Pryor before the war as a talented Southern democratic edi- tor, and as a warm friend of McLean. Wash. ferred with me about an effort he was making to get his old friend Pryor out of prison sent North. It was concluded best to move directly on the works of ‘Old Abe,” instead of those of Stanton, Secretary of War. This was in the winter. There was a deep watery snow on the ground. McLean’senergy and persever- ance were unbounded, however, and his ardor was in no degree chilled by the inclemency of the weather. He fortified himself with letters to Lincotn from Horace -eeley, Colonel Forney, and other leading republicans of the strictest | sect, asking that his request be granted, &c. The next point of difficulty was how to get these papers directly to the President, and avoid the uncertainty of having them pass throngh other hands. On that day Mrs. Lincoln had her reception. Fixing himself up for the occasion, | Ww. entered the reception-room with the | crowd of brave men and dashing ladies. As he shook hands with Old Abe he turustinto his left | the aforesaid documents, saying: ‘Mr. Presi- dent, L want you to read these papers as soon as you can,” and passed on to pay his respects to | Mrs. President | ‘© my great amazement, says Col. Canapbell, | that evening on his return to the hotel, Wash. showed me an order, in Mr. Lincoln’sown hand- | writing, to Gen. Dix, for the release of Pryor on | bis parole, to report to the President in com- | pany with Col. Forney. My purpose was to re turn to Ohio via New York, and on McLean’: urgent request I concluded to go with him to Fort Lafayette. But I had no permit to visit the Fort, and was unacquainted with Gen. Dix. | Concluding to adopt McLean's policy of apply- ing at headquarters, I took a carriage and drove to the Executive Mansion abouts o'clock in the | morning. There was not one armed sentinel | about the premises. I passed up stairs to the Executive office, and the usher who usually | stood at the door'was absent. Proceeding into | the rooms of the secretaries, 1 found them | deserted. Taking a seat tO await | coming, I heard in the jolly laugh of Old Abe, and recognized the voice some of my Tennessee acquai ances. ‘They were evidently enjoying an anec- dete.

Mr. Lincoln stopped my apology, saying that he was uot much wedded to red tape and circumlocution, adding, familiarly, “What 1 do tor you.

Verification ef Death. ‘The Journal des Connaisances Medicales pub- lishes a report road to the Academy ot Medicine by Dr. Devergie ou one hundred and two essay: sént in on the subject of ascertaining beyond a doubt whether a person is dead or not. The late Marquis d°Ourche, who had himseif wit- nessed the burialof one of his friends, who is still alive, had lett the academy twenty thou- sand francs, to be awarded to the discoverer of ocess by which any illiter- really and irrevocably taken place. Another prize of five thousand francs was to be given to the inventor of ascientific method tor obtain- ing the desired certainty. Dr. Devergie, who bas acquired great reputation in forensic medi- cine, gives an account of all the suggestions sent in, some of which, proceeding from per. sons unacquainted with medicine, are abso. | intely ridiculous. One of them advocates a coffin which will open by toachin, pring in- side, another an electric bell; a third a trumpet to be blown by a person prematurely in- terred, &c. Altogether thirty-two essays were considered worthy of serious examination. ‘The reporter states that the provisions of the defective and a dead letter in the country. ‘The indications afiurded by | the glassiness and other appearances of the eye are insufficient; the eye may appear dead whils the body is living.

The 5,000f prize bas been divided among four competi- | tors; the larger one has not been award- ed, though some of the suggestions caused great hesitation among the commission. ‘ibas, a certain sign of death is afforded by the skin; if it becomes livid; if, touched with ja piece of burning charcoal, it blisters without revealing any serosity or trace of reaction,while lete. Putretaction is also indubitable evi- lence, but it cannot be waited for.

Again, if a light be held to the toy. of a finger at a moderate distance, a blister will be formed; if this contain serosity, there is still life in the body. Dr. Devergie concludes with hoping that the law ordering that death be medica!ly ascertained will be enforced every. where, there being now 25,000 communes in which it is totally ignored.

Mothers | seem at last to have jearned that the tender infant or the little girl old enough to run about into cold rooms, or through an open door into the street, needs protection from cold and sud- den changes as well as herself. And we may thank capricious fashion for having adop' high necks and long sleeves. The benefits of this change are greatly apparent in the dimin- ishing of diptheria, croup, scarlet fever, and other kind maladies, to which children are subject from taking sudden and violent colds. Many a dear little one whose is now with the sleepers im the ‘Silent city,’ might be fill- ing the house with music and the mother’s heart with gladness, bad it not been for insuffi- tency Of protection from changes of the weather. Yet there is still room for improvement. I see many children whose lower limbs are quite too poe | exposed for health or comfort. It is not infrequent to meet little girls with dresses up tothe knee, and with but one pair of perhaps cambric drawers open at the botrom, and thin cotton stockings. Any grown person, or boy, would freeze it clad thus. No wonder that so many, when they arrive at the age of woman- hood, have no Constitutions, and are good for little but fashionable invalids, whose chief bus- iness through life isto supply the doctor with good fees.

SOUP MAKING. There is no way in which the comfortable abundance of a table may be better insured, while at the same time a strict eye is kept upon economical expenditure of means, than by an almost daily addition of soup to the family din- ner. From the carelessness, slovenly manner in which it is too often prepared, many acquire | an almost invincible repugnance to this ower. hat careful, loving mother will | | and O, wise palatable and nutritious article of diet. It | is only when concocted by an indifferent ceok that soup deserves the contemptuous sobriquet of ‘slops,” so often applied to it. It is sur- prising trom what a scanty allotment of mate ial a dainty dish of soup may be served. Le ast ot beef be consumed to the very bone, a vurkey or pair of fowls deprived of every joint, if the carcass is put away it furnishes at ence the needed basis. ‘The French understand this to perfection, and we read that in Parisian kitchens actosed vessel containing the ‘‘putage”’ is ever at the fireside, awaiting any and every contribution the skillful grizette anon supplies pm the surplus ot other dishes in process of paration. But we propose to give directions ited to American habits and tastes.

Cover the vessel with a close fitting lid and set it by a stow fire; this will draw out all the virtue ot the herbs and roots, giving the soup a ditter- ent ‘lavor from what is imparted by putting the fall quantity of water in at first. Turn the meat frequently. When the gravy produced is almost dried up, fill your pot with a sufficient quantity of water to make soup enough for your family. Toa large shank-bone of beef three | quarts, or even one galion is not too much to allow. When your soup is done take it oi! the tire to cool, and skim thoroughly trom grease. Fut iton again, and be sure not to unless boiling hot. Be careful to add other high: flavored condiments sparingly; every table is previded with salt-cellar and castors, so that a deficiency in these respects may be easily ir other thickening than the vegetables used is deemed advisable, brown the tiour for all soups save chicken, vea!, and oyster soup. WHITE UNDERCLOTHING. The Herald of Health recommends white un derclothing; as not only more healthful, but on ; account of it not radiating'the heat of the body as some other colors do. Another stron, tive is the avoidance of possible sulting from deleterious dyes.

Hew People Travel by Han Power in {Yokohama ane of the Cleveland ‘These jynricksha men are sturdy coolies, or the lower clas, who undertake the Cedeow merely from exuberance of spirits and superabundance of animal vigor. just as in our country it used te be the thing for the *‘b’hoys” “to run with the machine.” And a poor devils need all the health and vigor they have. Just ine one human creature drawing another at a swift trot for seven or eight and even more miles om the stretch. Yet these jyn- ricksha men do this and more. Their endurance is wonderful, but they do not last long. They soon become wheezy, and have to dropout of theshafts. The majority of them are of mag- nificent physique, with muscles knotted and ridged even to the verge of distortion, and with per ee Mey 9 and upright carriage, like very athletes as they are. ‘The jynricksha itself is a small two-wheeled carriage, generally holding but one person, but sometimes capable of seating two with a little squeezing. Cccasionally, indeed, you see a whole Japanese family, father, mother, and babies, crowded together in one jynricksha, pell-mell, topsy-turvy, in the most strange con- dition of mingled arms and legs and heads, and jollity, while the whole will be drawn by a half- own boy, whose head reaches hardly above the cross- bars of the shafts. ‘The first jynricksha ot Japan was made about three years ago in imitation of a two-wheeled baby carriage, belonging to a European. Since that time (hey have increased over the whole country to sich an extent that one city alone, Yeddo, has seventeen thousand of them, and over fifty thousand people engaged in managing and manufacturing them. They are a great convenience, like our street cars at home. I remember very well one jynricksha ride that I took in company with the ladies. The day was beautiful, but somewhat warm, we re- solved to visit the country, and I was deputed toorder the jynrickshas* Accordingly, I picked out eight men whose legs were not all bare, and marshaled the party. Away we went, the coolies whooping and yelling like so many wild Indians. ‘he day was warm, as I have said, and the perspiration soon began to roll down our two-legged horses. I felt comparatively safe, however, for I knew that there was a very stringent ordinance in Yokohama, forbidding coolies to go aboutin the simple costame (a very ‘small breech clout, ) that had hitherto filled out their tlea of the beautiful and ornate in outward adornment. But woe wasme! I didn’t know that that ordinance had very little bind- ing force outside of the town limits—that it was in tact a decidedly dead letter when there was no policemen to enforce it. The actions of our men soon brought me to a realizing sense of my mistake. First their head bands went; then one after another they eased their pace, and drew their right arms out of the flowing garments that they wear for coats; then the other, and then a twitch; the coats were off, and oursteeds were rushing along in the freedem of bare backs and gloriously tatooed arms and breasts. It was bad enough, but worse wasto come. We were bowling along joking and laughing, when suddenly anominous silence fell upon the fe- male portion of the party. I looked behind, ye Gods! there sat oneof the young ladies, her jynicksha stuck etill in the middle of the road, and her horses deliberately taking off their pants. That was too much. The Ameri- can eagle flapped his wings and screeched for vengeance. Two or three of us went back in quick order, and with the aidof sundry cuts nd blows, persuaded those jynricksha horsos »resume the vormal condition of bifurcated estiture. And yet, poor fellows, they meant no wrong. ‘They sce no harm in going about bare legged, especially since they can run much faster and easier that much for jynrickshas and j ares. A Religion in is Decay—Horrible Features of Brahminism. (Calcutta Correspondence of the London Times.) A great criminal case, which has excited the orthodox Hindoos of Bengal for some months, basjust closed. The Mohunt, or monk-priest of Tarkeshwar, the shrine of Sheev, near Seram- h practices in pore, has long been notorious for su: as those which led te the Maharajah trial Western’ India some years ago. He had chased from the parenits tirst one danghter then another, who were deluded by his pri character into yielding to hia will, yet no on tempted to stop the scandal, and the spectable still permitted their wives an ters to visit a shrine and adore a sensnali + who was supposed to grant children to the barren and health to the sick. One ofthe danghters chanced to be t! of a Brabmin, whose duties in the Government f Calcutta kept him away from her all ek. This poor wife, Alokashee, had been tim of the intrigue for some time when the husband’s eyes were opened. She conteased her guilt tohim, and they were apparently recon- ciled, when the Mohunt attempted to prevent him from taking her to Calcutta. Maddened by thishe slew the wife, confessed the murder, was tried by a native jury, which acqnitted him a insane, and was finally sentenced by the high court to life imprisonment. Adultery being a penal offense in the man in ja, the Mohunt ted tothe French Asylum in Chandernagore, but surrendered at last. ‘Though defended by two English barristers, and very Wealthy from the offerings at the shrine, he has just been convicted by the civilian Judge 0! Hooghly at the county sessions and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, with a fine of som, Of course he has appealed, but it is difti- a tto vee why the maximum penalty was not nitieted. As the judgment was given in English, none bot English ‘speaking natives were allowed to crowdinto the court; but thousands of excited aT Genel besieged the doors. More than once on his way to and from the court the Mohunt was mobbed, and had brickbats burled at him When sentence had been pronounced, and the Police Inspector was about to lay hold of the convict, the latter exclaimed: ‘Let no one touch me, for you will commit agin. I will walk to the carriage.” If not the offense, at least the publicity and offense by the murder of horror added to th the Brabmin’s wife have strack a blow at super- stition. Itisto be regretted that the trial was not held before a Judge of the High Court, com- petent to deal with the whole subjects of these shrines and priestly brotherhoods, of idol en- dowments and celibate Mohunts, as Sir Joseph Arnonld did with such effect in Bombay in the Vallabachanga and Kojan cases.

By slow cooling the fat crys- tallizes, and the more solid margarine and stear- ine seprrate from the oleine which remains dif- fused through the mass. Thesami-solid mass is then put into cotton bags, asin the ordinary Process for the manufacture of lard and tallow oil, the only exception being that rather more attention is made to cleanliness. These bags which hold about two pounds each, are then placed in a powerful press, which expresses the oil. As it flows from the press, the oil is clear, yellow in color, tasteless, and without odor if sufficient care has been used in its preparation. The residue in the is used for making ca: dies. Thus far there is nothing new in the pro- cess.

Two and 8 half pounds of peeled potatoes, eat once or twice in two, boil in three quarts of water for half an hour: then put in two tea spoonfuls of salt, some pepper, and foar ounces ot butter; when the potatoes have boiled to pieces some, mash the lumps and stir in one pint of milk. Let it boil up and it is done. If thickened with one or two soda crackers, it tastes very much like oyster soup. L. O- BUTTERMILK AND LONGEVITY. M. Robin, of Paris, read a paper lately, be fore the French Academy, in which he thus sets forth the great value of buttermilk as an article of daily tood Lite exists only in combustion, but the com which takes place in oar chimneys, leaves a detritus which is fatal to life. To remove this, we would administer a lactic acid with ordinary food. This acidis known to possess the power of removing or destroying the incrustations Which form on the arteries, cartilages, and valves ot the heart. As buttermilk abounds in this acid, and is, moreover, an agreeable kind of food, its habitual use, itis urged, will free the tem from these causes, which inevital causé death between the seventy-fifth and hui dredth year. SUMMER MINCE PIE, Four soda crackers, one and 4 halt cup of su- gar, one cup of molasses, one of cider, one of water, one of chopped raisins, two-thirds of a | cup of butter, two eggs stirred in the last thing spice to taste. SOPT GINGERERBAD ‘One cup of molasses, half a cap of water, with | a teaspoonful of saleratus dissvived in‘it, a piece of butter as large as a butternat, one teblespoonful of ginger, and one aud three- | fourth cup of flour. KEEPING EGGS. ‘The Scientitic American gives the result of a few experiments in keeping eggs. In damp nitrogen gas, in hydrogen gas and carbonic acid (gas,) eggs keep perfectly for three months; in the latter, the result was the same whether stordry. The same results were attained with ordinary illuminating gas, and with a sola- | tien of carbolic ac leman, The Armije Suicide. | | HOW THE SHEEP KING OF NEW MEXICO DIED. ‘The telegraph lias announced that Pedro Armijo, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, mitted suicide by shooting himself t bedy near the heart, on the night of Tuesday, January 6. The Denver (olorado) News gives the following account of the young man Pedro C. Amijo—or Pete Amijo, as he was ly rich, and bo. host extensive properties in the south. Born Albuquerque, he was reared among the | Spanish population, but, upon gaining his | youth, he was sent to the Ctristian Brothers’ ege, @ Catholic tion, in St. Lou There he received the foundation of his educa- tion, his business attainments having bsen sub- sequently perfected in the banking-house of Northrup & Chick, in Wall street, New York After leaving the banking business he re- turned to New Mexico and engaged in sheep culture and herding, av occupation which had been followed by his family for generations. Hd took charge of immense flocks, and managed their sale in the northern markets. For this purpose hecame to Denyer last summer and remained here until fali, disposing of his stock to eastern and territorial purchasers. At one time be had herded three miles from Denver 10,000 sheep, and it was estimated by those who knew the extent of his tlocks, that he controlled | over 250,000 head of sheep in his own territory and the vicivity of hishome. He became known ibroughout the United States as the “Sheep King ot New Mexico;” and the magnitude of his transactions was familiar to every stock man in the country. During his sojourn in | Denver, Amijo, while he may have lived a fast | life, at least made hosts of friends by his honest nature, his out-epoken way, his strightorward commercial transactions and his warm heart; his failings were the failings of one whose liber- ality exceeded his better judgment. He spent his money prodigally, apparently paying po heed to the future, but he knew no sach thing as selfishness. Armijo was betrothed to Miss Otero, sister of the wife of Benito Baca. She is spoken of as a noble young lady, but whether there was any disappointment in the affair, is beyond our knowledge, A fact it is that he idol- | ized the young lady with all the fervor of his na- ture, and repeatedly spoke of the engagement and happiness he anticipated when the betrothal should be consummated. One evening in No- vember last Pedro Amijoand a few friends went to the room of Foster, the medium, at Charpiot’s Hotel, to particinate in a seance. During the sitting Foster told Amijo that he (Amijo) would come te a vielent and tragic death. After the seance, the writer of these lines (who was one of the parties at the seance) met Foster and asked why he did not tell Amijo bow he would die, and Foster replied that he atid not wish to frighten him. He then told the writer that Amijo would be sbot—either mur- dered or take his own life. The fact had passed from our mind, although it was related to sey- eral parties at the time, and was only revived hy the terrible news that the young man had, indeed, taken his own life with a pistol ball. Amijo left Denver in November for his home at Albuquerque, expecting to return in the spring. His death will be mourned by many who kne His Lee sarser al will be forgotten; | ins eed of heart will always be remem- | bered. Habits of Eating, A highly edifying and amusing correspond. | ence has been recently going on in the columns of Public Opinion, a London periodical, upon the subject of regularity in meals. One scien- fic feeder subsists upon two meals a day and grows fat upon it. Another takes his regular rations four times daily, and declares his readi- ness to attack a fifth. One hygienic individual | cannot get alovg without his regular ‘‘nips” be- tween times, while another holds that life would be @ fleeting show without a ular allowance of beef at dinner. The subject fe an interesting one, not only to the “bulls,” whose adipose tis- sue is general). poe ene to equal their vorac- ity, but to the American, whose _ lean and bi aspect suggests dyspepsia and concomitant evils. | Upon the advantage of regularity of meals all | medical men 3; but the quality, quantity | Hunton, and Se gp ereot are matters to Bedeciled Hurlburt, by climate, strength of digestive power, occu- | Hyde, pation, many other causes.
