A wF.i.i.-nnEssET man attracted con siderable attention in Chicago the other day by sitting upon the edge of the side walk for some time with his head be tween his hands, as if in deep meditation.

The Commissioner extols the working of the systeri abolishing Assessorships and leaving the whole matter with the Collectors as securing more prompt pay ment and a larger amount of tax. The tax against banks and bankers re alized $3,000,734, an increase of $403 013 over the previous year, notwithstanding the financial disasters of the fall of 1873, and is largely due to the new system of assessment, the results of which are still more apparent in the rise from collections from special taxes the .ast quarter of the fiscal year 1872, when they amounted to $3,303,539, against $5,8.1.1,581 in the last quarter of the fiscal year 1874. The Commissioner suggests that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, here after, upon his requisition, furnish all the stamps necessary under the law ex cept proprietary and documentary, and asks a positive provision from Congress upon the subject. Should Congress wish to abolish stamps on bank checks, etc., perfumery, cos metics, patent medicines, matches, etc., which yielded last year $6,230,844 (but he is still of opinion that the revenue cannot be reduced with safety), the Com missioner saj's an equivalent could be had by increasing the tax on spirits ten cents per gallon, which would yield $6, 9.17,000, or four cents a pound on tobacco would yield $4,612,000. Naming Children. It is a fearful responsibility to be delegated to name a child which is not your own. So far as my children are concerned I am never bothered; 1 just watch them for a few days to catch a leading trait in their character and then found the name on that. If they are mild-tempered and peaceful I select some such name as Placid, Contentment, Harmony or Peace, and if ugly, I saddle 'em with Hurricane, Tornado, Tom Say crs, Cape Horn or Texas Jack. Strangers are sometimes amazed to see me go down to the gate, and hear me call out: "Tornado Savers Cape Horn Johnson Quad, you and Contentment Harmony Sunflower Burlingame come into supper," but I run my domestic affairs as suits me best. Mrs. Dalson was over the other day with her baby. It is a stub-nosed, reu faced rascal, and I hope he'll never be named at all. She put him into my lap and said: " Now do give him a name something sweet and handsome and good." The young scoundrel looked me in the eye for a moment and then deliberately kicked me five times in the stomach, and clawed my nose. I told his mother that she'd better name him Tarantula, or Centipede, or Cougar, and she picked him up, hugged him, and said that I had the reputation all over the neighborhood of being a brute. Mrs. Dogber also brought over her offspring the other evening. It is a girl, with red hair, white eyes, and large ears, and she spit at me the moment I took her up spit full in my face, and then bowled and kicked and fought to get hold of my neck-tie. She's such a blessed, sweet-tempered little angel, that you must give her some U II 1U1 111V t U I k 1 1 - y S)tJ, lilVUlVtt I suggested Susie, Bessie, Bella, Dolly, Betsy. Mollie, Sallic, Tillie, and fifty other names, but Mrs. Dogber replied that I liadn t any refinement about me, and she said the darling creature was to be named Mirabel Augustine St. Clair Dogber. There's nothing like having a high sounding name for a child, no matter if his father has to work for a dollar a day and his mother ocs out washing win dows. Very often as I come up to din ner I find Cieorgc Washington Hugo Blum rolling in the dirt with Thomas Jefferson Adolf Le Grand Smith, while Darabel Florian Victoria Grump is drawing a stick up and down the w alk by a string, driven by Theodore Jackson Duke Albert Flennning. If those children had com mon names I shouldn't care a cent whether they lived or died. "J". Quad," in Our Fireside Friend. Report of Commissioner Douglass. Washington. Nov. 10. The report of Commissioner of Inter nal Bcvenuc Douglass gives receipts for the last fiscal year as $102,644,747, or ' 044,4 in excess of the estimate. The estimate of the current fiscal year is SlUiAJW.iJUU. The total drawback on spirits, tobacco, and general merchandise for the past, fiscal year was $.12,346, and lor 18 4, $3..4!'o. .Tso spirits were ex ported for drawback during the last year, and the quantity of tobacco was very slight compared with the amount ex ported in lond. The amounts refunded for taxes illegally collected were $618, 067 in 1873 and $230,740 in 1874. The receipts from distilled spirits far the fiscal j'ear of 1874 were $ i,444,00O, a net decrease of $2, 6.15,280. The receipts from special taxes on rectifiers and dealers show an increase of $7ii9,413. The production of spirits during the year was 69,572,002 taxable gallons. Seizures amounted in value to $ t7G,3C2. The amount of distilled spirits remaining in warehouse Sept. 30, for payment of tax, was $12,577,090, making a decrease of $3,240,613 from June 30. The amount remaining for export was reduced in same time from 2,14.1,010 gallons to 1,047,714 gallons. The annual receipts from all sources relating to fermented liquors for the year were $9,301,679. Receipts from tobacco in all forms, $33,242,875, a decrease of $1,143,427, due to the closing out of bonded warehouses in the early part of the year and the ef fect of the panic. From November to the present time there has been a steady increase of collections over any previous corresponding period. The largest amount collected in any quarter was the first quarter of the present fiscal vear $10,102,754. The receipts of the" fiscal year from this source are expected to ag . gregate $36,000,000. The production of tobacco for the last fiscal year was? 11 8,548,619 pounds, an in crease overjthe. preceding year of 2,107, 634 . pounds: The number of cigars, cheTOots, etc., oh which taxes was col lected was 1,886,697,498, or 75,662,852 in excess of the previous year. The quan tity of tobacco removed without payment of lax for exportation for the fiscal year was 10,800,927 pounds, an excess of nearly three-quarters of a million pounds over the preceding year. The Commissioner considers it indis pensably necessary to control the move ment of raw or leaf tobacco by the con tinuance of the leaf clause of the act of June 6, 1872. The receipts from other sources were : Bank deposits, savings banks, capital and bank circulation, $3,387,000; adhe- Uovr to Avoid Taking Cold. A cold is simply a developer of a dis eased constitution which may have been latent or requiring only some favoring condition to burst out into the flame of disease. That this is usually the correct view of cold as a disease-producing agent under all ordinary circumstances may be made plain by reflection upon personal experience evt n to the most ordinary un derstanding. When the human body is at its prime with youth, vigor, purity and a good constitution on its aide no degree of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to any unpleasant effects. All the ordinary piecautions against . colds, eoughs and rheumatic pains may be dis regarded, and no ill effects ensue. But let the blood become impure, let the body become deranged from any acquired uisordcr, or Jet the vigor begin to wane, anil tue infirmities of age be tcltby occa sional derangements in some vital part, either Irom inherited or acquired abuses. and the action of cold will excite more or less disorder of some kind, and the form of this disorder, or the disease which will ensue, will be determined by the kind of preexisting moou impurity or the pre existing fault of the organic processes. it loilows Irom these facts ana consider ations that the secret of avoiding the un pleasant consequences thought to spring wholly from the action of cold upon the body has very little dependence upon a great deal upon and weak condition vital processes. In with an average or superior constitution, and an intelligent observance of all the law s of health, men and women could not take cold if they wanted to; they might be exposed to the action of cold to a degree equal to the beast of the held, and with like 1mpr.n1 ty. But in the case of persons with feeble constitutions, and who disregard, knowingly or otherwise, and most fre quent- otherwise, the conditions of healthy existence, no degree of care will prevent the taking of cold, as it is termed. They may live in houses regulated with all the precision of a hot-house, they may cover themselves with the most highly protective clothing the market provides, tnd j-et they will take cold. I do not think the consumptive person lives, or ever will live, even if kept in a temperature absolutely uniform, and clothed in a wholly faultless manner, in whom the well-known signs of one cold after another will not be apparent. But, on the other hand, there are those wno, like the late Sir Henrv Holland, of good constitutions, and living in accordance with the laws of health, may travel as he did from the tropics to the arctics again and again, clad only in an ordinary dress coat, and yet scarcely know what it is to have a cold or a sickness of any kind. 1 ne truth is, that to avoid taking cold from ordinary or even extraordinary ex posure the vital processes must be made strong enough to rise above the untoward influence of external conditions.

The following suggestions arc by Alexander Hyde, hf the New York Time: "To aid the barrel and the skin of the apple in keeping out the air many wrap their apples in paper manila paper is the befet and i3 very cheap, but old news papers will answer each apple by itself. This not oijly aids in keeping out the air, but prevents the apple from bruising in transportation. Oranges are always im ported with a paper wrapped around them. Paper is not only very imper vious to air but is a non-conductor of heat and serves to keep the fruit of a uniform temperature a point of some importance. " A more effectual mode still of pre serving apples is to fill the barrels nearly full of apples and then put in some thor oughly drv fine sand and shake it down gently. This will fill up all the inter stices between the apples and keep them indefinitely and almost perfectly fresh. In lieu of dry sand, ground plaster (gypsum) may be used, and is perhaps still better, as it is more compact ami therefore, less pervious to air.' We have known apples kept in this manner for two years. " The virtues of dry sand and plaster for preserving apples, pears, and other fruits are well understood by the pre mium hunters at our horticultural fairs. The nicest specimens of Bartlett pears arc packed away in sand and brought out a month or six weeks after they are picked as fresh as though they were just from the tree. It is very little trouble to put plaster or sand into a barrel; but it is some botheration to get the apples out and wash and wipe them, and the trans portation of sand will never pay, so that we should .not recommend this practice except for a few choice barrels for the use of family and friends. "Another mode very analogous to the foregoing is to pit the apples in some dry, sandy, or gravelly soil, just as tur nips and potatoes are pitted. They will keep splendidly through the winter thus pitted, but must be used speedily in the spring after they are dug out, as they will rot eoon after exposure to the light and air. In order to pit apples, select some dry spot, where there is no possibility of water filling the pit, and dig a hole three or four feet deep and of any required size, place some clean, dry straw on the bottom, and on this the apples, to the depth of two leet, covering the whole with a layer of straw and then a layer of dry earth, raising the latter above the general level ot the ground and sloping it roof-fashion, so that it will shed rain. The apples will come out in the spring as crisp as cabbages when pitted in this way. " Instead of one large pit, it is better to make several smaller ones, holding eight to twelve bushels each, so that one pit may be opened after another in the spring, as the apples may be wanted, or the apples may be buried in the ground in barrels and a barrel taken up at a time. We have known this latter mode to succeed admirably." Importance of Wholesome Beds, Sleep to the workingman is emphat ically nature's restorer, reinvigorating the physical system, which through much toil has become weary, and keeping up the flow of life and spirits which are necessary to the performance of the arduous duties of firm life. A comfort able bed, as we are all aware, conduces greatly to one's rest. On this subject a recent writer says : Uf the eight pounds which a man eats and drinks in a day, it is thought that no less than five pounds leave his body through the skin. And of these five pounds a considerable per cent, escapes during the night while he is in bed. The largest portion of this is water, but in addition there is much effete and poison ous matter. This, being in great part gaseous in form, permeates every part of the bed, mattress and blankets as well as sheets, which soon become foul and need purification. lhe mattress needs the renovation quite as much as the sheets. To allow the sheet to be used, without washing or changing, three or six months, would be regarded as bad housekeeping ; but I in sist if a thin sheet can absorb enough of the excretions of the body to make it un fit for use in a few days, a thick mat tress, which can absorb and retain a thousand times as much of these poisonous excretions, needs to be puri fied as often, certainly, as once in three months. A sheet can be washed. A mattress cannot be renovated in this way. In deed, there is no "way of cleansing a mattress but by steaming it or picking it to pieces, and thus, in fragments, expos ing it to the rays of the sun. As these processes are scarcely practicable with any of the ordinary mattresses, I am de cidedly of the opinion that the good old fashioned straw bed, which can every three months be changed for fresh straw, and the tick be washed, is the sweetest and healthiest of beds. If, in the wintry season, the porousness of the straw bed makes it a little uncom fortable, spread over it a comforter or two woolen blankets, which should be washed as often as every two weeks. With this arrangement, if you wash all the bed coverings as often as once in two weeks, you will have a delightful, healthy bed. Now, if you leave the bed to air, with open window s during the day, and not make it up for the night before evening, you will have added greatly to the sweet ness of your rest, and, in consequence, to the tone of your health. I heartily wish the change could be everywhere introduced. Only those who have thus "attended to this important matter can judge of the influence on the general health and spirits. Maine Farmer. Ice for Diphtheria. A recent letter written by Dr. George Crstgin, ol the Oneida Community, thus explains a novel but what is claimed to be a very successful treatment of diph theria: "Recognizing as we do the spiritual nature of disease, as well as its spiritual characteristics, our first efforts were to arouse the spirit of the patient by means of criticism to resist the power and leaden influence of disease which envel oped him like a cloud, stupefying and befogging every mental faculty and ef fort of the will to repel the intruder. The invariable effect of criticism was to stir up the patient in mind and heart to make a stout defense against the attack, to resist the influence of the disease with might and main, and to throw him into a sweat, thus at once relieving the 1 ever. " The next thing was to prepare a quantity of ice broken into small bits which could be easily taken into the mouth and swallowed or allowed to melt, letting the piece slip as far back as pos sible around the roots of the tongue, ton sils and upper part of the throat. This application of ice was made every ten minutes, day and night, until every ves tige of the canker had disappeared and the inflammation had subsided. During the day the patients, unless verv sick. could help themselves to ice if a supply were placed at the bedside or near at hand; but during the night watchers were required to give the necessary lump of ice every ten minutes, one nurse attending to several patients. This course of treatment was faithfully followed as long as there weie any traces of the disease about, and although we had over sixty cases during the fall and winter, and many of them very severe, we lost not a single patient after adopt ing the ice-criticism treatment. " Of course the application of criti cism would be difficult if not impossible under ordinary hospital routine or pri vate practice, even if desired by the pa tient, but the application of ice can be made under any circumstances, and there must be but few who cannot af ford a few pounds of a medicine so cheap, so pure and so powerful. "The eflicacy of tue ice treatment lies in its being applied continu ously until every trace of the fungus growth has disappeared and the swell ing and inflammation has subsided. Acids and alkalies and fashionable gar gles will in some measure check the morbid growth, but they cannot allay the fierce heat and reduce the inflammation of the swelled throat. Ice will do both and not injure the patient. Try it." Eleven and one-quarter millions of dollars are footed up, and the estimate is made that the sum of between $14, 000,000 and $15,000,000 was willed and deeded, in 1873, to schools, libraries and foundations. A vein has been discovered in the main shaft of the Sherman Mine, at Caribou, Cal., of brittle silver, inter mingled with pure sulphate of silver, that will pay $20,000 a ton. During the year ending Oct. 31 the receipts at the Indiana State Treasury amounted to $3,072,195.46, and the dis bursements to $2,829,991.28. USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. Thanksgiving Mince-Meat.

Wash while fresh in strong soapsuds, first pick ing from the wool all the dirt that will come out. A little kerosene, a table spoonful to three gallons of water, will aid in removing the impurities. Con tinue to wash the skin in fresh suds till it is white and clean. Then dissolve a half pound each of salt and alum in three pints of boiling water, put it into water enough to cover the skin, which should soak in the solution twelve hours, and then be hung on a line to drain. When nearly dry nail it wool side on a board or the side of a barn to dry. Rub into the skin an ounce each of pulverized alum and saltpeter, and if the skin is very large double the quantity. Rub for an hour or two. Fold the skin sides together, and lay the mat away for three days, rubbing it every day, or till per fectly dry. Then with a blunt knife clear the skin of impurities, rub it with pumice or rotten stone, trim it into shape, and you have a door-mat that will last a lifetime. Western Rural. Restoring Crape Veils. A cor respondent of the Country Gentleman gives a recipe for restoring old crape that has grown rusty in veils, trimmings, etc. : Lay very smoothly and securely over nn ironing blanket any black mate rial, cotton or woolen ; sponge a piece of black silk very wet large enough to take the size of a veil folded. Take out the hems of the crape veil or not as rou please ; lay it upon the wet silk with as few folds as possible ; then lay over it another piece of wet silk, pinningitnrm- ly at one side and holding the other; iron with a hot iron until the crape is ary. Old folds can be opened and basted near the edge in five or six layers, ironed and lined with stiff, black muslin and they will look like new. I have only worn the English crape and do not know that the French can be treated in this man ner. A little alcohol in the water will remove the dust spots more readily and can be put on the crape without injury. Do not be afraid to make it trial of this, as it can be done over and over again without injury to the crape. Fish Chowder. Place a large iron pot on the top of the stove. Then cut five or six slices of fat salt pork and put them into the kettle, allowing the fat gently to try out. Then cut your fish in thick slices across it. Have your onions (about six large ones) peeled and cut into slices, ready; also about the same num ber of potatoes. Then place a layer of potatoes, next one of fish, next ot onions in the kettle, adding a little pepper and salt to each laj-er. Be very sparing of the salt, as the pork usually makes it salt enoiiffh for most tastes. Lastly, add just water enough to half-fill the kettle. Let the whole boil half an hour; then add a little milk and butter, slightly thickened with flour. While the chow der is cooking skim it at first. About three minutes before you remove the chowder from the fire split a dozen genuine faird crackers in halves and place them in the. chowder. Serve in a tureeu, as you would any other soup Any of the firm-fleshed Western fish will answer, but trout, whitefish, etc., are too tender. Lor. Rural. The Preservation of Timber. An Arkansas correspondent of the Scientific American says: "I came here thirty years since and began clearing land and buildin" houses with hewn logs and boards split from the tree. After several years' residence I noticed very often that pieces of the same kind of timber decayed more quickly than others; and, after much thought and observation, I came to the conclusion that timber felled after the leaf was fully grown lasted the longest. I no ticed that timber felled when the leaf first commenced to grow rotted the sap oil very quickly, but the heart remained sound; that timber felled after the fall of the leaf rotted in the heart, even when apparently sound on the outside. hen hrc-wood cut in the winter was put on the fire the sap came out of the sap-wood and next the bark. I noticed also that all our lasting wood had but little sap at anytime in the heart such as cedar, mulberry, sassafras, and cypress. " A cypress post cut in the summer of 1833 is still sound, although exposed to all weathers; while one of the same kind of timber cut in the winter of I806 and painted has rotted in the heart. 1 saw- yesterday a piece of gum plank which sawed in the summer of 1859, that has lain ever since and is perfectly sound; while oak timber that was felled in the winter before is now entirely rotten. "My conclusion, then, is: Cut timber after lull leaf say in July and August to get the most last from it. Hit sap goes into the heart of the tree after leaf fall and causes decay." TnE fireman of the steam heating ap paratus at the Central Depot yesterday found a penny as he was raking over the hot ashes in the furnace, and he took it up with the tongs and placed it on a bench outside to cool off. It had hardly commenced to cool when a heavy man named Johnson, living in Saginaw, came along. He was talking business with a friend, and as he came to the bench he parted his coat-tails and sat down on the penny, remarking: "As I was saying, you can have forty acres for whoop! Thunder and blazes ouch dash it gosh to whoop !" lie galloped around in wild amazement, the hot penny sticking to him like a brother, and it was two or three minutes before anyone found out whether he had dropped down on a tack or been bitten by a dog. There was a heavy aroma of burning cloth and blis tered meat, and Mr. Johnson stretched forth his arm and exclaimed that he should devote the remainder of his life to hunting down the fiend who thus planned to waylay human confidence. Detroit Free Frens. It has become a question whether a phrenologist can tell what a barrel con tains by examining its head. For the porgy factories in the vicini ty of Bremen, Me., it has been the best season ever known, one firm making 300,000 gallons of oil. Can it be True? Within the last few months a considerable number of per sons have called upon Dr. Walker, the proprietor of the popular medicine known as Vineoar Bitters, and assured him that, in their belief, his preparation is an infallible antidote for rum and to bacco. The minute details which have been furnished him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of the statements. This new claim of a great remedy to the con fidence of the public will give a vast and well-deserved impulse to its popu larity. Heretofore the Bitters have been recognized as a pure vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure of stomach and bowel complaints, nervous disorders, bilious affections, muscular diseases, and indeed a majority ot the ailments within the reach of medicine ; but if it will also cure the craving for liquor and tobacco, philosophers, states men and theologians ought to unite their voices in its praise. Can the good news be true? It is easy to test the question. 9 The Great Favorite!

The Prettiest Woman fa New York, Mis K , well known In our fashionable society for her ditttngue appearance and beautiful complexion, was once a sallow, rough-skinned girl, chagrined at her red, freckled face. She pitched into Hagan's Magnolia Balm, and is now as pretty in complexion as she Is charming In manners. This arUcle overcomes freckles. tan, sallowness, moth-patches, ring-marks, etc, and makes one look ten years younger than they are. Mag nolia Balm for a transparent complexion, and Lyon's Kathalron to make the hair plentiful, luxuriant, soft and delicate, have no rivals. The Kathalron prevents the hair from turning gray, eradicates dandruff, and Is the best and cheapest dressing In the world. Damned by Faint Praise. Jas. Bcekman. clergyinau, of New York, was recently badly kicked by a horse, and was speedily cured by using the cele brated Mexican Mustang Liniment. When the pro prietor asked him for a certificate he replied that he "considered It a remarkable article, but It wouldn't answer for him to Indorse a remedy In print." Here's consistency. But we didn't kick him, as the horse did. The world knows that for Kheumatism, Bruises, Swellings, Spavin, Scratches, Inflammation, Lame ness, or any flesh, bone or muscle ailment upon man or animal, there Is nothlnglikethe Mustang Liniment. It costs but 50 cts. and (1.00 per bottle, and should be In every family. It is wrapped In a fine steel-plate label, and signed "O. W. Weatbrook, Chemist." Tonic and Recnperant Plantation Bit' ters. The constantly-increasing patronage, which it receives has. It is true, excited the petty envy of cer tain splenetic advertisers of pinchbeck panaceas, who hope to make a market for their own stagnant, watery wares by decrying all spirituous medicinal prepara tions. But the public can stomach neither their argu ments nor their potatlons,and consequently reject these vtry weak Imitations of the enemy as entirely too thin.
