Artemus Ward. When, in 1863, Ward oinceived the idea of making a lecture tour through California-a great undertaking in those days-he engaged the writer to accom pany him as an agent, offering a salary that made the insignificant pay of a Cleveland "local" blush with shame. Not knowing that lecturers, and espe. cially humorists, have a way of engag ing every man as agent who professes a desire to travel, I made all preparations to go, resigned my situation, and anxiously awaited my summons. As I waited various articles were sold to pay expenses. I ate my stove, I re member; I think P drank up my bureau. At length, when nearly everything had gone, I learned that Ward had gone, t.0, taking another agent. I was nat urally incensed, and resolved that there would be a severo settlement when next we met. I rehearsed the anticipated sceno frequently, and resolved just how I would go to work and annihilate him. Our meeting was in New York in ,Tuly, 1864. I had heard of his return from California, and prepared to empty the vials of my wrath upon his head. My slumbering indignation flamed up at once. I thought of the cooking-stove I had devoured, and the various articles of household furnituro I drank up, and was about to go for him, when Ward suddenly rushed forward and, grasping mo warmly by the hand, exclaimed: "Why, Gris, old boy, how aro you? When did you get back from 'Cali fornia?" As I looked at him, speechless with amazement, he continued: "They told me yOu CaeR0 home ' around the IIorn, hut i ever know you to go around a horn yet-joii me.. Now Ward had a very persuasivo way of looking his arm in with another's, an'd in a momentary fit of weakness I went along. " Ward I" said I sternly, "I owe you a licking on account of that California agency business, but will put it off until wo drink." "Put it off as long as you want to," replied Ward, in a tono of generous ac conimmodation, as though I was speaking about returning hini i loan. "'If you 'Iwo me a licking pay me when you get ready. I am ino hurry. Don't caro if you never pay it." Numerous were the unavailing efforts that I made to bring Ward to a settle ment. When I would commence, "Now, Artenims, how about that California business?" he would interruit--"'Oh, never mind that whipping. No hurry at all. Send it through the mail-or telegraph it.

Several casks of native wine had been placed outside of the house and facing the barn-yard on a ranch near San Fran cisco. Some of the hogs in rubbing against one of the casks knocked out the spigot and caused the contents to run out. The wine formued a p)ool in a die pression mn the grounld, and around it all the hogs, little and big, about the prem ises, to the nunmber of about thirty, con gregated and drank their f11l, and beofore any person about the p lace was aware as to what had happenet1, all thle porkers were drunk, and going through the queerest antics imatginlable. Some were frisky and full of play, others belligerent and swaggerimg around hunting up fights; some maundering around in an imbecile way, walking in a cork-screw style, and stumbling over the least ob struction that lay in their path, while several of the larger hogs, that had man aged to get, on the heaviest loads, were drunk and inceapable of motion. Those who saw this queer performance say that it was the most apt illustration of the saying "(drunk as a hog" that they ever witnessed, while the inebriates acted wonderfully like humans in a sim ilar state of debauch. The hogs were all '"blind drunk" before they could drink up all theo wine, and the balance of the grape juice was turned into a tem perance beverage by turning a stream of water on it.

Dickens was the owner of a watchb which he prized very highly, it having been a present to him from the Queen. He would not accept an empty title; but he could not refuse to accept a sinple token of his sovereign's friendship and esteem. Ono evening, while a the theater, in Paris, that watch was stolen from him. His guard-chain had been worn very conspicuously, and on his way out through the lobby and crowd, the inestimable souvenir was adroitly taken from his pocket--chain, seal, and all. After leaving the theater, Dickens spent an hour, more or less, with some friends at a cafe, where he told his loss, being free to confess his grief and dis gust-grief for the departure of a prized token of friendship, and disgust with himself that he should have allowed a French pickpocket thus to despoil him. If it had been a pupil of Fagin's-an art ist from the historic precinct of Tom all-Alone's-he wouldn t have minded it so much. "I wouldn't have believed a Frenchman could do it," he de clared. But a surprise was in store for him. On returning to his hotel, Mr. Dickens was met by the Concierge, who had a packago for him, which a gentleman 1ad left there half an hour before. On taking it to his room, and opening it, lie found his watch, with the following note, written in a very fair hand, laid on top : HIRa: I hope you will excuse me for the lib erty I took. I thought I was relieving a Frenchman. I never dreamed that I was deal ing with a countryman. But the inscription on your watch told to me my mistake. and that mistake I hasten to repair so far as it lies in my power. I herewith return your proporty, and with it allow me to tender my sincero respect and regard.

It is a common saying in Washington that tho most eloquent speeches in Con gress influence no votes. Each member. votes with his party, and is indifferent to inets, or logic, or pathetic appeals from the leaders of the other side. Oliver Wendell Holmes, however, en joys the rare credit of changing the pol icy of the Jackson administration, not b~y at spech, but b~y a poem. The frigate Constitution, the most famous vessel in the American navy in the wvar with En gland, 1812-15, was an old hulk in Bos ton harbor, and it was decided to take her to pieces, and put any good timber in her to other uses. Boston patriotism was roused by this report, for the Constitution was looked upon as a specimen of New England skill, and a monument of Yankee cour age. Dr. Holmes, then an enthusiastia young man, fresh from college, shared the general fervor, and put it into a ring mng poem, called "Old Ironsides." The poem b~ecame very popular, and was 'opied in all the papers of the land. It was struck off'on hand-bills andl cicu latted freely in Washington. The ad ministration did not care to resist the p~opular feeling, and the orders to break up the old frigate were countermanded.

The mind should always be occupied; it is stren'hened and preserved in a healthy ate by work; whereas it decays or becosnea impovished by disuse; or, what is even worse, since it is impossible to keep the brain absolutely at rest its powers should be profitably employed, or they react on the system, and give rise to thle numberless ailments, physical, mental, and moral, known as hysteria. This term almost implies that I am think ing of the female sex; certainly it is to women especially that the want of oc cupation applies. Young men are forced to get their living whether they like it or not; but a large number of young ladies in a family have absolutely nothing to do.. Those brought up in the country have this advantage, that they may always make work for themselves; the village children may be taught and otherwise cared for; bringing not only a blessing on them, but healthy body and mind to the benefactor. In town the condition of middle-class girls is to me pitiable. They are too gen teel to follow any occupation; there are often too many in a family to assist in do mestic duties; they have returned home from school with some very poor acoom plishments; their knowledgo of French and German is notsufficient to allow them to converse in these languages; and music just enough to indulge in a doleful song or play badly on the piano. They dawdle through the day in a listless way, and fall victims to a thousand little ailments which the doctor is supposed to put right by physic. And the most curious thing is that should the instincts of the girl force her to put some of her energies into use, she is as likely as not to be thwarted by the mother. I am a daily witness to this; and when young ladies are brought t4) me for advice, the in variable story is that they are over-taxing their strengti; the maternal instinct be ing so perverted that it has become with many the belief that every movement means fatigue, and absolute rest is the way to insure health. It is against this very erroneous view that I am now preaching. These mothers do not come to the doctor for advice, but can'o to dictate to him; and they say: "I want you, doctor, to insist on my daughter not playing the organ at church, for it is too much for her; or having that children's class once a week, for she is always ill after it; but order her to have her breakfast in bed, and a glass of port wine about 11 o'clock." It is this fanciful care on the part of parents which is so injurious; for the very energy of young people would com mand them to occupy themselves. I do not know that girls are worse than boys in respect of idleness; for probably the latter would not work unless obliged, and even for them an occupation is good quito apart from that at which they earn their daily brad.__ WOLvEs are threatening large districts within hail of populous towns on the niorthern shore of the Gulf of Finland.

A Camnp-IMeetig Anecdote. An incident of camp-meeting life, de tailed by a clergyman on a Baltimore steamboat, is thus reported in Forest and Stream: .An old couple had supplied themselves withl a bottle of pennyroyal oil with wich to keep off the mosquitoes. They extinguished their light and retired, forgetting the antidote. The mosquitoes were very bad, and, after standing it as long as they could, the old1 lady got up and got a well-filletd ink-bottle instead of the oil, and gave the old gentleman a thorough lubricat ing with the fluid, face, hands and feet ; she0 thlen anointed herself in a like man ner. They again assayed to court the drowsy god, but could only get an occa sionial nap. Finally the old lady got up and struck a light. Giving a glance at the bed she had just left, she beheld, to her horror, a colored person, as she sup p~osed, stretched in the place of her She quietly got the poker, and beat the old fellowv over the head before dis (covering her mistake.

There are now 800 potteries in the United States, the total products of which supply 50 per cent. of the wares anuually consumed the chief centers of the industry being n the cap tal of New Jersey, and East iverpo, in Ohio. The former city offered peculiar at tractions to the potter, both from its railways and canals connecting it with the great cities of the Union, and its nearness to mines of the raw material. West and southwest lie the coal, kaolin, spar and quartz mines of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and eastward the fire and white clays of New Jerse. The clays of Ohio, Missouri and InTi ana. and abundance of fuel, have built up East Liverpool, making it the cera nuu oenter of the West. For thirty years it has been engaged in the manu facture of the ordinary Rockingham and yellow wares, furnislung the greater por tion of the $2,000,000 worth annually produced in this country. It was not until 1873 that white ware of any descrip tion engaged the attention of the Liver pool >otters ; to-day white granites, semi-chinas and "cream colors" are manufactured in fourteen thriving es tablishments, and one or two firms are experimenting in china.--harper's Mauazine. How to Treat Frost Bites. 'he American Agricu(turiat says: "If any part of the body gets frozen the very worst thing to do is to apply heat directly. Keep away from the fire. Use snow if you can get it; if not, use the coldest possible water. Last winter our little boy of 5 years frozo his foet while out coasting at considerable distance from the house. He cried all the way home, and the case seemed pretty bad. I brought a big pailful of snow and put his feet into it, rubbing them with the snow. Bit my hands could not stand the cold. I was alarmed to see him keep his feet in the snow so long, but he could not boar them out of it. it was half an hour before he would take them out and then the pain was all gone, and when I had wiped them dry and rubbed them a little he was entirely comfortable, put on his stockings and shoes and went to play. He never afterward had any trouble with his feet on account of this freezing. His sister got her feet ex tremely cold, and put them at once to tho fire. Her case at first was not so bad as her brother's, and the result was much worse. Her feet were very tender all winter, nnd she suffered from chil blains. Her feet had a swollen, )lumrple look, and she had to take a larger size of shoes."
