Cotton Seed Oil fob Cooking.?A writer in the Southern Plantation gives the following-bints by which house-keep? ers may benefit: "Now what I want to tell your subscribers is, that refined cot? ton seed oil is just as good as olive oil, and much better than most of the olive oil we get here, because it is so much ! fresher. About six months ago I found . out that a number of Hebrew families in this city' were using cotton seed oil to ; cooe with. I felt interested in the mat? ter, and made some inquiries about it, and was assured that to shorten bread it was as good as lard or other grease, and to fry fish or chicken or steak it was m uch better. I asked how it could be better, and the answer was that the lard lacked a great deal of being pure grease?it con tamed a large proportion of stearine and other foreign matter, and when it was heated theae other ingredients that were not pure grease would commence to burn ;:; at a muco lower temperature than the cotton seed oil?consequently the meat immersed in the oil at a temperature > some twenty degrees higher than the lard could be raised, was at once browned ." over, all the juices retained inside, and ';. none of the grease permitted to penetrate, ? and the result was a much better cooked j and more palatable piece of meat. I de- J termined to try the oil, and now state 8s the result of my personal experience for ? six months that it is far superior to lard i for every purpose of cooking, and that it j is twice as cheap." - , j jv A. Remark able Coincidence.?In 1853 four gentlemen entered their sons at a boarding school at Cokesbury, in South Carolina. /They had been for ? years intimate friends and were clergy? men in the Methodist Church. These ; boys remained at this school as room? mates and classmates"for two years, and entered Wofibrd College, standing rela? tively first, second, third and fourth in a large clays. Tbey remained at this in? stitution four year*, and were room mates Stall the time, graduating relatively first, second, third and fourth.. They entered a law office at Spartanburg, and studied law ander the same chancellor. The war - ? - broke out, and at the call for troops they entered Jcnkm's rifle regiment from .' "South Carolina, and'were messmates in the same company. Being near the same height +hey stood together as comrades in battle in this regiment At the second -Ibattle of Manassas, August, 1864, a shell front'the enemy's battery fell in the ranks of this company, killed these four boys, and no other in the company. They are buried-on the battle field, and sleep to? gether in the same grave. Their names ' are Capers, McSwain, Smith and Duncan, and are the sons of Bishop Capers, Rev., Dr. McSwain, Rev. Dr. Whitefoord Smith and Rev. Dr. Duncan, of Virginia, and . the last brother of Rev. Dr. Duncan, of Macon College. - The grave! is marked by a granite cross'enclosed within an iron railing. Blunt but True.?There is said to be a young man in the Missouri peniten? tiary whose parents at their death, left bim a fortune of 150,000. There ~ where his parents'made a fatal mistake. If they had taken the precaution to-in? vest that sum in a small dog, and shot him, and then had simply left the young 'man a jack plane or a wood saw. with printed instructions how to use it, the chances are, that instead of being in the. penitentiary, he would to-day have-been gradually but surely working bis way ' into a handsome competency and an hon? orable old age. But ever since the days of Adam and Eve, parents have made it a point to toil and struggle all their lives in order to realize a sufficient sum of money-Jo purchase, when they ore dead . and' gone, their sons each a first class through ticket to the devil, and it is not much to be wondered at that so many of their sons, reared in vice and idleness, as too many of them often are, have ho higher ambition than to invest their in? heritance in just that sort of transporta? tion.

You'll be wanting something in my line pretty soon, if you have good luck. ? Habitual liars invent falsehoods not to gain any end or even to deceive their hearers, but to ? amuse themselves. It is partly practice and partly habit. It re? quires an effort in them to speak the 'troth. ? An exchange says: ?*We are in re? ceipt of two poems, one on the Throb? bing Brain/ and another on a 'Bleeding Heart.' We will wait until we receive one on the 'Stomach Ache,' and publish all three together.',' ?

Traces of the battle around Petere . burg are in the main obliterated.. Only a few of the extensive fortifications are now -visible. The place known as the Crater is overgrown with young peach trees that have sprang up from thVpeach stones thrown away t>y soldiers during the siege. ? Brigham Young once ingeniously _ pat off a simple disciple who bad lost a leg and wanted another supplied by mi? raculous growth by saying that he could command another to grow, of course, but begged his petitioner to consider how awkward it would be to walk around .' heaven with three legs, while the.other saints would have only two. The credu? lous sufferer went away satisfied. ? For bleeding at the nose, the best remedy, as given by Dr. Gleason, in one of his lectures, is a vigorous motion of the jaws, as if in the act of mastication. In the case of a child,, a wad of paper should be placed in its month, and the child instructed to chew it hard. It is . the-, motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood. This remedy is so very simple that many will feel inclined to laugh, at it, but it has never been known to fail in a single instance, eren in very severe cases. ? A boy tried his first pine the other day. When his father came home to din ner he found him braced against a bar? rel, with his legs spread apart, his hands and lower jaw drooping listlessly, and a deathly pallor over-spreading his face. "What is the matter with yon 1" inquired the amazed parent. "My?teacher is? sick," gasped the boy. "Well, yon musn't feel so badly about it, Tommy " said the father, kindly. "She will get well again, without a doubt" And then, stepping into the house, he observed to his wife that he was the most sympathetic boy be ever saw. ? A good story is told of a country merchant who agreed to take a fanner's oats at fortv cents a bushel if the latter . would let him tramp the measure when filled. The farmer agreed to it. The buyer paid for sixty bushels, and the next day went after them. The farmer filled the half bushel, and then the mer? chant got in and tramped them down. Whereupon the farmer poured the com? pressed oats into the bag. The merchant :protested, demanded that the measure should be filled up after tramping. The farmer ipfonmed him that there was no agreement of that sort, but that be night tramp down vthe oahi^ to -bis.heart's.con ^fy-after.?they:>ere measured. ? How can a man expect his creditors to believe his stories about "hard times," 'no money," "ruin staring him in the face," when bis wife promenades the street attired like Solomon in. all his glory ? The credit of a woman's bufband in the business world often depends upon the style in which she, her daughters and sons appear in public. It is creditable neither to the honesty nor good sense of ! a family to live beyond their means, and suspicion and doubt fasten at once upon individuals who are known to be living a - life of financial deception, no matter whether he be politician or preacher, la? borer or lawyer, merchant or mechanic. ? It is estimated that coffee, both beans and leaves, are drunk by sixty millions of the human family. Tea of all kind is used by five hundred millions, and opium by four hundred millions; alcohol, in its various forms, by five hun? dred, millions of the human race. To? bacco is probably used by eight hundred millions. These startling facts indicate a large portion of the race using some I substances that are either stimulants or narcotics.' The work of the physiologists, in the future, will be to determine the true place in nature of these substances, and indicate where their use ends and abuse begins. ??
