The Hon. Secretary of the Treasury sitting ': at \Vashington, surrounded by huge mountains of greenbacks and other papyrus currency, is surprised by the receipt of a box from San Francisco; upon opening which he discovers to his horror dried snakes and centipedes, and F flies and bugs, which, having been enter- !ed as drugs and medicines at the San ; Francisco Custom-House,have so puzzled :the Collector of that port that he has {sent on these specimens of an entomo- ilogical pharmaCOpoeia to Mr. Boutwell, Eand has asked for instructions as to the 'legality of admitting such frightful poi- sons into the country at all. One might imagine, from this fastidious reluctance, that the learned leeches of this enlight- ed land never gave nasty doses and never “exhibited” anything in the least degree poisonous. It is highly disgust- ing, of course, for a Central Flowery , Doctor to use dried flies; but we appeal to all who have been tormented by a eantharides blister to say whether dried flies are such a medical novelty after all, Tincture of Centipedes isn’t any worse, we should suppose, than even a homeco- pathic dose of rattle-snake poison. Bugs look bad in print; but how many infants have taken cochineal for thatdistress- ing juvenile affliction, the whooping- cough. And as for nastiness, if there be anything furnished by the Chinese pharmacologists nastier than castor oil, !

Chinese Doctor under any circum- ,stancesf’ Unquestionably it is very absurd for John Chinaman to fancy that he can he cured of an illness by taking bugs, and snakes, and centipedcs; but how long is it since respectable and highly civilized doctors of our own had full faith (or pretended to have) in similar .absurditics? Read, for instance, the account in Macaulay's history of the treatment to which, in his last hours: poor Charles the Second was subjected â€"-his fixed teeth forced open that asalt extracted from dead men’s bones might be administered to him. Read any old book of medical practice, and see what monstrous messes our aili 11g grand-parents were compelled to swallow. Indeed,we have ourselves seen a prescription for abolus written by a highly respectable physician still living (unless he has been taking his own medicine) which contain- ed a dozen ingredients, two thirds o'fi which must have been pernicious or inert.

Of course, this heroic andl horrible treatment has become pretty nearly obso‘. cte, but it is not so long since that we can afi‘ord to laugh or sneer at Dr. Chinaman’s medical notions.

There are large amounts iaccumulating in the Treasurer’s oflice against Some of the Municipalities, for County rates; These should be paid up; :by the let of January, 1871, or interest will be charged. Some old accounts in connection with repairs and alterations at the Court House and old Jail were reported unsatisfactory, and a recom- mendation made that in future they will not be paid unless properly authenticat- ed. The Report was adopted. The Building Committee reported that they had accepted the new Registry Ofiice as completed according to con, tract.

After some further routine business the Council ad- journed to meet the first Wednesday in December. An English writer says : “That night I was out late; I returned by the lea cabin about 11 o’clock. As I approach- ed I saw a strange looking object cower- .ing under the low eaves. A cold rain 'was falling; it was autumn. I drew near, and there was Mille wet to the skin. Her father had driven her out. some hours before; she had lain down to listen for the heavy snoring of his drunken slumber, so that she might creep bat-k to bed. Before she licard it, nature seemed exhausted and she fell into a troubled sleep, with raindrops pattering upon her. I tried to take her home with me but no, true as a martyr 3 to his faith, she struggled from me and ”returned to the now silent cabin.â€" JThings went on for weeks and months, ire-1:. at length Lee grew violent, men in .

A Short Story with a Moral, Pnomssoii BLACKIE 0N WOMEN.â€" Professor Blackie says some good things, and it is curious to know what he would say about i'v'o'men. Here is what he has recently told the world at a lecture :â€" “A woman is naturaliy as differentfrom' a man as a flower from a tree; she has more beanty and more fragrance, but less strength. She will be fitted for the rough and thorny walk of the masculine professions when she has a rough heard, a brazen front, and a hard skin, but no sooner. How TO BREAK ONB’S SELF on BAD t Hannaâ€"Understand clearly the rea- sons, and all the reasons, why the habit r is injurious. Study the subject till 1 there is no lingering doubt in your 1 mind. Avoid the places, the persons, the thoughts that lead to’ the temptation. Frequent the places,“ associate with the ‘ persons, indulge in the thoughts that lead away from temptation. Keep busy, idleness is the strength of bad habits.â€" ; Do not give up to .the struggle when I you have broken your resolutions, once, twice, ten times or a thousand times.â€" That only shows how much need there is for you to strive. When you have . broken your resolution, just think the matter over; and endeavor to understand why it was you failed, so that you may 'be on your guard against a re-oecur- rence of the same circumstance. Do * not think ita little or an easy thing 7 that you have undertaken. It is afolly ‘ to expect to break off a bad habit in a | day, which may have been gathering f strength in you for years. “Chicago has an organ grinder worth $75,000. He is still grinding.

Reaping and mowing maehznes have now become standard imp ements on English farms, but 111 France they are still regarded somewhat as innovations; the lower rate of wages across the channel having hitherto acted as a bar- rier to the introduction of labcr saving machmes 1n agriculture. Wages, how- ever, are rising in France, as in most other countries, and the attention, therefore, of agriculturists is directed to the best form of reaping and mowing machines. Several international trials of these machines are announced for the coming summer. The first came oiflast week at Bourges, 123 miles south of Paris, at which there was. a very sharp contest between the English and Ame- rican machines. The Ironmongcr states that after a long and careful trial the award was given in favor of the Eng- lish machines of Messrs. Howard, of Bedfoxd, which in mowing an acre beat the far- famed American maohines of Mr. W. A. \Vood and Mr. McCor- mick by eighteen minutes. American manufacturers must look to their laurels.

But the sable youth did nothing of the sort. insteaa of following .1119 aireciions, he hastily drank off the contents of one glass, and immediately swallowed the othef. The effect may be imagined but non described. The efl'crvescence which shook! have taken place 111 the glass before it was drank, took place in the bewildered darkey’s stomach, sending streams of the frothylioiuid from the mouth, nose eyes and ears. As soon as the poor fellow c‘culd rc- cover breath, he cried out in frightened tones: My stomach has b1. st: (1; I cant live a minute! In a few moments, however, he ifclt better, and turning to depart, he said : Dat stuff may work well nufi' on de white trashâ€"but it’s sure def on a nigger.
