Scerort Your Country Paprer.—It is an unreasonable demand, and yet one that many unreflective people make, that a country . ‘journal must contain as late and as minutely detailed news as can be found in the daihes ‘of large cities, mind this portion of our readers that these two classes of newspapers are quite distinct. A first class metropolitan deily, of the present day, is sustained at an expense, for news alorie, of money sufficient to build upa handred weeklies. To obtain intelligence of current events, with the least possible delay, thousands of dollars are often spent in a single enterprise. The news of the day—the general news of the whole world—is the life of its columns. its correspondence extends to all parts of the earth, and its editorials embrace every subject of geweral interest.— Not so with the secluded weekly. Ets vocation is to build up home interests; to make known loéal affairs, to give a start to notices of local advantages, that will not stop on their travels till every extensively circulated “paper in the State has copied them into their columns. Every man who aspires to become a well informed member of soctoty should read at least two neW:papers—one for generaf fatelligence, and one for the news pertainining to his own locality. [ff his county paper does not fully satisfy his wishes in the latter respect, he may know that the Ceficiency is generally attributable not to indolence or ignorance on the part of its conductor, but to the lack of pecuniary support. Sustain yourlocal paper as a home ‘newspaper should be sustained, and, in nine cases out of ten, you will have a good one. A county without an organ is comparatively unknown abroad; it is considered of little account, asa place of no enterprise, and no inducements for new settlers. The first inquiry made concerning a new region little known is, whether a newspaper is pubTHO’S. W. WATERS . We would like to re-. quested by Abu-Bekrel-Doani toexhibit their Serpents to us, they consented with alacrity. Having made their arrangements, all seven commenced by putting up their hands as if holding books, while they murmured in concert a prayer addressed to Sidna Aisser, the patron of snake charmers. This invocation finished, the six musicians took their flutes and began to play—the chief charm. wild dance round the palm-leaf basket covered with goat skin, in which the reptiles were kept. Suddenly, the dancer stopped and, plunging his hand into the basket, drew out of it Su asp, or busk, which he whirled about, j twining and untwining it until it looked like ja braid of greenish-yellow silk. He then . wreathed the serpent round his head, like a . turban, dancing all the time, while the repi tile remained where he had placed it, ap. pearing to accommodate itself to the movejments and will of the dancer. The asp was then placed upon the ground, {from which it reared itself perpendicularly —the position of attack taken by it when its haunts are invaded—waving its body from . right to left, in time with the music of the flute. Then the dancer, wheeling more and more rapidly, in diminishing circles, again plunged his hand into the basket, and again drew . from it successively, four horned vipers, or . lefaas. up, With their heads slanting forward, ready eyes, the motions of the charmer, on whom they darted with open jaws, when he came within reach, launching their bodies with . wonderful swiftness, while their tails ap. peared as if fixed to the ground, and tien ; again windiug themselves into coils. . The dancer parried, with his abbaye, these . assaults upon his bare legs, the vipers ap. pearipg to impregnate the garment with }their venom. He then seized one of them . behind the head, dancing round and round, jand calling in a loud voice upon his patron saint. Opening the powerful elastic jaws of the reptile with a stick, he showed us its fangs, . from which oozed a whitish oily substance. . [Then he held his arm near the snake, which . struck him immediately, on which he redou. . bled his contortions, as if in agony of pain, [ ‘Alling all the time upon Sidna Aisser, the . reptile still 7 ° ° * : These reptiles, livlier and less docile . . P > ; : “2 ithan the asp, kept themselves half coiled . to strike, as they followed, with gleaming . continuing to strike, until he . withdrew his arm and showed us the blood . ' trickling from it. Replacing the viper on the ground, the . charmer now applied his lips to the wound, . lished there, and if so, whether it is a good ‘one.—San Jose Mercury. 2 eo—————— GRASS VALLEY.

Agent for the I[ydraulic Press . Her Heap was Rieur.—A_ happy, unso, phisticated couple from the rural districts got married on Teesday last, and posted off to Indianapolis to enjoy the first few days in seeing the sights at the State Fair They first stopped at the American Touse, where Rinkle, after puzzling his brain to the utmost, vas tinable to. give them a room, and they were obliged to beseparated. On Wednesday night they tried another hotel, with no better success. The rooms were all crowded, and men bud to be huddled toirether in one room, some on the floor, and packed up any way, while ladies were served the same in other rooms appropriated to their use. On Thursday the unhappy conYe, in despair and disgusted with crowded hotels, searched for and found a private ‘boarding house. The landlady symypathi. ed With them, and promised, if possible, that they should havearoom. Buton Thursday a pertect avalanche of people came upon the town, and the boarding houses and private houses, as well as the hotels, had to make every shift to stow away as Miny as possible at night. Our unfortunate newly wed‘ded pair heard with dismay after tea that they would have to be separated again tpat night. The groom looked his disappointment, but the bride could not control her feelings, and blubbered out as she stamped her foot on the floor—‘I've got my head set on it, and [ won't be separated from Jim any more.” The boarders snorted, and offered to sleep on the streets or any way, but the landlady would not allow it, and Jim had to take a berth on the carpet, away from his weeping bride, for the third night. Never bring your bride to a Fair.—Jndianapolis State Sentinel. a Se Drixxine IupcrE Water.—Set a pitcher of iced water in a room, inhabited, and in a few hours it will have absorbed from the room nearly all the respired and perspired gases of the room, the air of which will have become purer, but the water utterly filthy. This depends on the fact that the water has the faculty of condensing, and thereby absorbing all the gases, which it does without increasing itsown bulk. The colder the water is the greater capacity to contain gases. At ordinary temperatures a pint of water will containa pint of carbonic gas, and several pints of ammonia. This capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the temperature to that of ice. Hence, water kept in a room awhile, is always unfit for use, and should be often renewed whether it has become warm or not. And for the same reason, the water in a pump stuck should all be pumped out in the morning before any is used. over night is not fit for coffee water in the morning. Impure water is more injurious to the health than impure air, and every person should provide the means of obtainoe fresh pure water for all domestic uses. 2 To Cuean TuE Eye or Dusy.—When the pve is irritated by dust or intrusive particles of any kind, the sufferer invariably shuts and rubs his eye, and not unfrequently the removal of the irritating catse thereby becomes more difficult. The proper practice is hat which bas stood in a pitcher! squeezing it betweeen his teeth, and_ still keeping up his dance, while the flute went faster and faster, uutil he stopped from sheer exhaustion. As I was confident that this man was an arraut juggler,and that the poison had been extracted from the reptile, Lasked him let me handle it. “Art thou a serpent charmer?” asked the Beni-Schiddad—“hast thou a faith implicit in the power of Sidna Aisser?” “Neither the one or the otber,” replied I. “Should the serpent strike thee, then thy hour is come,’ rejoined he. ? will prove the truth of my words. Unfortunately for itself, a wretched cat happened to be at hand. It was brought to the charmer, who caused the viper to strike nose and eyes assumed a blueish tint. cured me of my frantic desire to play with the horned viper. Of these facts I speak from ocular expethe matter closely, I have aever yet met with pone renreneeenceseeninasioenesnatnasasnialithntainins asistencia tory theory upon the subject. I bave applied to the charmers themselves, and to the peuple about them, offering money in exchange for their secret, but invariably with the same result. “Tf we die not front the bite of serpents, itis owing to the protection ef Sidna Aisser” Superstition can satisfy the Arab for this curious fitet of the snake charmers. Tome, june am not given to the supernatural, it . seems that these men muSt possess a knowl. ;edge of certain berbs, the juice of which neutralizes the effects of the venom; and that they bold this remedy in their mouths while sucking the wound, thus obtaining re sults usually produced by excision and cau. terization.

Scerort Your Country Paprer.—It is an unreasonable demand, and yet one that many unreflective people make, that a country . ‘journal must contain as late and as minutely detailed news as can be found in the daihes ‘of large cities, mind this portion of our readers that these two classes of newspapers are quite distinct. A first class metropolitan deily, of the present day, is sustained at an expense, for news alorie, of money sufficient to build upa handred weeklies. To obtain intelligence of current events, with the least possible delay, thousands of dollars are often spent in a single enterprise. The news of the day—the general news of the whole world—is the life of its columns. its correspondence extends to all parts of the earth, and its editorials embrace every subject of geweral interest.— Not so with the secluded weekly. Ets vocation is to build up home interests; to make known loéal affairs, to give a start to notices of local advantages, that will not stop on their travels till every extensively circulated “paper in the State has copied them into their columns. Every man who aspires to become a well informed member of soctoty should read at least two neW:papers—one for generaf fatelligence, and one for the news pertainining to his own locality. [ff his county paper does not fully satisfy his wishes in the latter respect, he may know that the Ceficiency is generally attributable not to indolence or ignorance on the part of its conductor, but to the lack of pecuniary support. Sustain yourlocal paper as a home ‘newspaper should be sustained, and, in nine cases out of ten, you will have a good one. A county without an organ is comparatively unknown abroad; it is considered of little account, asa place of no enterprise, and no inducements for new settlers. The first inquiry made concerning a new region little known is, whether a newspaper is pubTHO’S. W. WATERS . We would like to re-. quested by Abu-Bekrel-Doani toexhibit their Serpents to us, they consented with alacrity. Having made their arrangements, all seven commenced by putting up their hands as if holding books, while they murmured in concert a prayer addressed to Sidna Aisser, the patron of snake charmers. This invocation finished, the six musicians took their flutes and began to play—the chief charm. wild dance round the palm-leaf basket covered with goat skin, in which the reptiles were kept. Suddenly, the dancer stopped and, plunging his hand into the basket, drew out of it Su asp, or busk, which he whirled about, j twining and untwining it until it looked like ja braid of greenish-yellow silk. He then . wreathed the serpent round his head, like a . turban, dancing all the time, while the repi tile remained where he had placed it, ap. pearing to accommodate itself to the movejments and will of the dancer. The asp was then placed upon the ground, {from which it reared itself perpendicularly —the position of attack taken by it when its haunts are invaded—waving its body from . right to left, in time with the music of the flute. Then the dancer, wheeling more and more rapidly, in diminishing circles, again plunged his hand into the basket, and again drew . from it successively, four horned vipers, or . lefaas. up, With their heads slanting forward, ready eyes, the motions of the charmer, on whom they darted with open jaws, when he came within reach, launching their bodies with . wonderful swiftness, while their tails ap. peared as if fixed to the ground, and tien ; again windiug themselves into coils. . The dancer parried, with his abbaye, these . assaults upon his bare legs, the vipers ap. pearipg to impregnate the garment with }their venom. He then seized one of them . behind the head, dancing round and round, jand calling in a loud voice upon his patron saint. Opening the powerful elastic jaws of the reptile with a stick, he showed us its fangs, . from which oozed a whitish oily substance. . [Then he held his arm near the snake, which . struck him immediately, on which he redou. . bled his contortions, as if in agony of pain, [ ‘Alling all the time upon Sidna Aisser, the . reptile still 7 ° ° * : These reptiles, livlier and less docile . . P > ; : “2 ithan the asp, kept themselves half coiled . to strike, as they followed, with gleaming . continuing to strike, until he . withdrew his arm and showed us the blood . ' trickling from it. Replacing the viper on the ground, the . charmer now applied his lips to the wound, . lished there, and if so, whether it is a good ‘one.—San Jose Mercury. 2 eo—————— GRASS VALLEY.

Agent for the I[ydraulic Press . Her Heap was Rieur.—A_ happy, unso, phisticated couple from the rural districts got married on Teesday last, and posted off to Indianapolis to enjoy the first few days in seeing the sights at the State Fair They first stopped at the American Touse, where Rinkle, after puzzling his brain to the utmost, vas tinable to. give them a room, and they were obliged to beseparated. On Wednesday night they tried another hotel, with no better success. The rooms were all crowded, and men bud to be huddled toirether in one room, some on the floor, and packed up any way, while ladies were served the same in other rooms appropriated to their use. On Thursday the unhappy conYe, in despair and disgusted with crowded hotels, searched for and found a private ‘boarding house. The landlady symypathi. ed With them, and promised, if possible, that they should havearoom. Buton Thursday a pertect avalanche of people came upon the town, and the boarding houses and private houses, as well as the hotels, had to make every shift to stow away as Miny as possible at night. Our unfortunate newly wed‘ded pair heard with dismay after tea that they would have to be separated again tpat night. The groom looked his disappointment, but the bride could not control her feelings, and blubbered out as she stamped her foot on the floor—‘I've got my head set on it, and [ won't be separated from Jim any more.” The boarders snorted, and offered to sleep on the streets or any way, but the landlady would not allow it, and Jim had to take a berth on the carpet, away from his weeping bride, for the third night. Never bring your bride to a Fair.—Jndianapolis State Sentinel. a Se Drixxine IupcrE Water.—Set a pitcher of iced water in a room, inhabited, and in a few hours it will have absorbed from the room nearly all the respired and perspired gases of the room, the air of which will have become purer, but the water utterly filthy. This depends on the fact that the water has the faculty of condensing, and thereby absorbing all the gases, which it does without increasing itsown bulk. The colder the water is the greater capacity to contain gases. At ordinary temperatures a pint of water will containa pint of carbonic gas, and several pints of ammonia. This capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the temperature to that of ice. Hence, water kept in a room awhile, is always unfit for use, and should be often renewed whether it has become warm or not. And for the same reason, the water in a pump stuck should all be pumped out in the morning before any is used. over night is not fit for coffee water in the morning. Impure water is more injurious to the health than impure air, and every person should provide the means of obtainoe fresh pure water for all domestic uses. 2 To Cuean TuE Eye or Dusy.—When the pve is irritated by dust or intrusive particles of any kind, the sufferer invariably shuts and rubs his eye, and not unfrequently the removal of the irritating catse thereby becomes more difficult. The proper practice is hat which bas stood in a pitcher! squeezing it betweeen his teeth, and_ still keeping up his dance, while the flute went faster and faster, uutil he stopped from sheer exhaustion. As I was confident that this man was an arraut juggler,and that the poison had been extracted from the reptile, Lasked him let me handle it. “Art thou a serpent charmer?” asked the Beni-Schiddad—“hast thou a faith implicit in the power of Sidna Aisser?” “Neither the one or the otber,” replied I. “Should the serpent strike thee, then thy hour is come,’ rejoined he. ? will prove the truth of my words. Unfortunately for itself, a wretched cat happened to be at hand. It was brought to the charmer, who caused the viper to strike nose and eyes assumed a blueish tint. cured me of my frantic desire to play with the horned viper. Of these facts I speak from ocular expethe matter closely, I have aever yet met with pone renreneeenceseeninasioenesnatnasasnialithntainins asistencia tory theory upon the subject. I bave applied to the charmers themselves, and to the peuple about them, offering money in exchange for their secret, but invariably with the same result. “Tf we die not front the bite of serpents, itis owing to the protection ef Sidna Aisser” Superstition can satisfy the Arab for this curious fitet of the snake charmers. Tome, june am not given to the supernatural, it . seems that these men muSt possess a knowl. ;edge of certain berbs, the juice of which neutralizes the effects of the venom; and that they bold this remedy in their mouths while sucking the wound, thus obtaining re sults usually produced by excision and cau. terization.
