Tuba BlU and Jef. . The Iterruption of Jeff's "nightwatoh" was occasioned by an accident which pre vented the progress of the lloneer coach, which ought to have passed that point somte time previously, but winch, had been delayed by the storm, and finally been brought to a stand-still in about four feet of rushing water some thousand yards away fron the inn. There were only three passengers-a thin, meek-looking gentle man, named M1aylield, with his wite and daughter. Jeff, on hastily springing from his bed and resuming his boots found Mr. Alaylleldtaud the driver of the coach, Yuba Bilt, appealing to him, each in his own tashion, for assistance. . The driver had drawn up the coach into a safe position amidst the waters, and had Luken out his team. He and Air. Mayfield had then waded out, and made their way to the "I11alf-Way Inn," and Jeff was now re quested to lend a hand in fetching up the ladies. Mr. AMaylleli's company on his errand was felt to be unnecessary. Yuba Bill-who, by the way, is a decided char actor, witti something of the quaint and oracular Alir. Welter, senior, in him, coin biued with Yankoe smartness-with undis gtui;-d contempt for the city gyntiemaas wat of physique, sununarily dismissed the idea of ia lending any assistance. Ac cordingly, Yuba Bill and JejY went oil to fetch the ladies. The meek man sat down helplessly in a chair Indicated by Bill, who at once strode after Jeff. In another moment they were both fighting their way step by step against the storm, in that peculiar, drunken, apasmodic way, so amusing to the spectator and so exasperating to the performer. It was no time for conversation, even inter jectional profaniity was dangerously ex haustive. Tle coach was scarcely a thousand yards away, but Its bright lights were reflected in a sheet of dark, sIlent-water, that stretch ed between it and the two men. Vading atn splaslhing, they soon reached it., and a gulley wherd the surplus water was pouring into the valley below. "Fower feet o' water round her, but can't get any higher. So ye see she's all right for a month o' sich weather." Inwardly admiring the perspi cacity of his companion, Jeff was about to open the coach door when Bill interrupt ed. "I'll pack the old woman if you'll look arter the darter and enny little traps." A female face, anxious and elderly, here appeared at the window. "That's my littie game," said Bill, soti) "Is there any danger? where is my hus band'?" asked the wonion, timpiia tien3ly. '"1Ez to the danger, ma'amInI--tIar ain't any. Yer oz safe here czye'd be in a 8ac raniento steamer; ez to yer husband, he allowed I was to cone yer and fetch yer ip to the hotel. That's his lookout!" With this cheerful speech Bill proceeded to make two or three ineffectutal scoops into the (lark interior, manifestly with the idea of sccoping out the lady in question. In an other instant he had canght her, lifted her gently but firmly in his arms, and was turn ing away. "Bitt my child i-my dainughter !--she's asleep," expostulated the woman; but Ifill was already swiftly splashing through the darkiiess. Jeff, left to himself, hastily ex anineid the coach. On the back seat a slight. small figure, enveloped in a shawl, lay notionless. Jeff threw the bear skin over it gently, lifted it on one arm, and gathering it few traveling bags and basketa with the other, prepared to follow his quickly disappearing leader. A few feet f romt the coach th.e water seemed to deepen, and the bear skin to diraggle. Jeff direw the figura up higher, but in vini. "8xis," lie saidt, softly. No reply. "Bis," shaking her gently. There was a slight mnovenment wit hini lie wrappilngs. "'Couln't. ye climb up on my shouiler, honey? Trhat's a good child I'' There were one or two spasmodic jer'ka of the bearskin, and, aided by .1 elI, thew bundle wa presentty seated oni his shout decr. -"Are you all right niow, sis?" Something like a lauigt came from the bear-skin. Then a chlish voice saidi '"Thank you, 1 think I am!" 'Ain't uafraid you'il fall off?'' "A little." Jleff hesitated, It was beginning to blow again. "'You couldn't reach down andl put y-our arm arouind my iieck, could ye, honey ?'' "I'' am afraid not! "-although t here was a slight, attempt to do0 so. * "No?" "No!" "W~ell, then take a good holt, a tirmi, strong holt o' my hair! D~on't be aifraid!l A small h~and timidly began to riunpige in Jeff's thick 'curls. " 'Take a lirmn hoht ; thar, just back o' my neck. That's right." The littlo hand closedl over half ai (dozen curls. T1he little lgture crowed and giggledl.

To partially Idemnify them for this st rict seclusion, the fol lowinig remar-kable arrangement has been made. Every even ing at nine o'clock during summer, anid at an earlier hour In winter time, the city gates of Saoul and other towns are closed at a given signal. TIhereupon all men are boundi to leave the streets, which are aban donedl to the women for the purpose of recreation and promlenadling. Any male finding himself, by accident, belated in the - thoroughfares, is sure to hurry to his house as fast, as possible, without looking up, or lowering theo fan held before his face, for severe punishmnent wvould fall upon any * person darIng, in the face of the stringent prohibition,- to molest women by so inuect as an inquisitive glance. WVe may13 statt hero that polygamy prevails In C'orea, ani that the lot of the womenr differs but lttlc -+ from that of theIr Chinese sisters.

Many persons have been amused any mystinied by the late Robert Holler's second-sight performances. The trick consisted in taking a watch, or other article, from some person in the audi once, which Holler wouldi hold, in his hand while a blindfolded confederate at a distance would describe everything about it very minutely, even to thc name of the maker, the iwmiber of the watch, the numbor of jewels, etc. All this was very mystlfying, and almost comipelled a bellof iII clairvoyance or some magnetie power. Mut a former pupil and confederate of Hellor's has explained the whole matter In the CIn cinnati Times. It consisted of an In genlous alphabetical arrangement of short questions, the irst letter of which represented ani object or else another letter, so that by a series of questions the name of the object was spelled. In short, the questions constituted a sys tem of telegraphic ciphers by wh ich lellcr could convey any information and dictate any answer lie desired to his assistant. All that was nOCCsary was a thol ough mastery on both sides of the cipher and the' key. It will be re membered that Heller used to close this exhibition by seating his confederate oi a stool with hils back to the audi ence, throwing his handkerchief over hiis head, and then have him describe objects without any questionls at all. The assistant explains this part of the performance: "As soon is my back was turned to the audience, and a large silk handkerchief thrown over my head, the stool oin which I was seated, con talning a hollow leg, wats placed direct ly over a hole in the stage. A rubber pipe was passed i) which connected withi a tini tibe runnibig underneath the stage to the back of the curtain. The assistant saw through a hole in the curtain allarticles which were held up, and coniveyed the iltelligence to me through the pipe. None but large ar ticles, such as hats, umbrellas, sticks, etc., were taken, and as this always closed the second-sight part of the per formanee, it was clear to the mind of all 'that it wasn't done by (uCestions.'

SMUVT POISONIN.-iitherto I hayr not found such a thing as a remedy foi animals poisoned by smut, although have given much attention to it. Al animals thus poisonled scomed to be af, fected alike, aid death occurs siuilar3 in all.

P1aralvsa. occurs within a few hours aftei the poison begins to act. I never kiiei oie subject to recover, or stand up after the smut had been recelved int the circulation. There is a ierculation There is a general idiotic stare ait drowsiness. Tile breathing is qual olten thick and stertorous. In ti early stages one of the best remedies I have found to be one-ounce doses o; hyposulphite of soda and two ounces oi alcohol In eight otinces of rainwater aL 100 degrees. This miay be repeated It; two hours if necessary. If the smut is it the stonach the stomaacl-puanp is quick. 'est and primary reindy, then the sul, pilito and alcohol.

BUTCIeRrNo SuHEEP.--Many do not eat mutton because of the peculiar L eheepy odor and taste sometimes fouid in the meat; and they usually attribute It to contact with the wool at butcher ing. This last is a mistake-it is due to delay in disemboweling the carcass. If the intestines are permitted to re Siain until tihe pelt is removed the gasses emitted from them are dissemin ated through the flesh, whleh causes the objctlonable taste or odoi'. Either disentwnwel the caretas at once, before the pelt is removed, or as soon as the throat Is cut, having the nilmal tied up by the hind feet with its head hanging downward, out a hole between the bilid quarters and fill tile cavity of the body at once with cold water; then skin and remove the entraUS at leisure.
