—As usual extensive preparations were made this yen? throughout (he country to decorate the graves of the nation’s fallen heroes, and the day witnessed a very general observance of this beaptiful custom. Time does iml d im . th em em o ry of brave deeds, or chill the love of the living for ihe dead, but year aftqr year,, as the SOtb of Hay iTecprrea, the offering of bright and fragrant flowers bears testimony to the nation’s teifdarund endearing affec­tion for those wh» pdrislMS in an ever memorable struggle.

W« only give vent to the universal feelings of ail in thin community when we wish him e safe journey and the very best of success. Thursday he took liis departure, and ere this meets the eyes of our readers he will have reached his destination. ‘‘

—One of the heaviest rain falls we have ever winessed occurred on last Friday aud Saturday nights. Friday everybody supposed we bad received a thorough drenching, but it proved only a foretaste of what was to follow, and Saturday flooded cellars, cislerns, and inundated the country for miles. It is evident this storm has permanently injured the crop prospects, as the low wet lands planted to corn mnst be drowned out, and in fact, op to presentwiiMog, all indications potat to a p t ' i 'of ao B tMWMS'ctop of'^corn only, and wlili continued wet, sandwlclied with frost,'’ H- becomes a serious matter.

—T bs commissioners of the Vermillion Drainage (District have made another assessment for the big ditch to drain the

swamp, and have notified the parties in interest of the amount of the assessment. The plan now is Ip cut a ditch about half the width of the one origutally surveyed and costing about forty thousand dollara, and the indications are that Ijie aasessments are not satisfactory, as some parties that are Interested say that some lands are assessed too high and ether lands are assessed too low, and it now looks as if there would be a great dissatisfaction at the meeting of the commissioners on Monday next, and onr townsman, B. T. Fosdick, will have another chance to ex amine the assessment for parties interested.

—We do not set ourselves up as an interrogation point, bat a subscriber writes to know: 1st. The meaning of the word courtesy. 2d. Gur religious views. Courtesy is a distinctive feature of civilized and intelligent society. It is the most beautiful illustration of the refining power which a higher development of humanity always exerts upon our race. By courtesy is meant that behavior of man towards mao which he would -ask for himself. It ia but another and instinctive mode on the part of intelligent people of carrying out this great and good motto, which lies at the base of good order and harmony among men: “ Do unto outers as you would that others would do unto you.” This, when coupled with: “ Do as you agree,” form^ a large part of our religion.

—Having enlarged, refitted, and re furnished my store, the public of Cbats- wortb and vicinity are invited to call and inspect my goods and prices. I have always in stock a full line of staple and fancy groceries, dry goods, notions, crockery, etc., which I shall sell, not at cost, but at the lowest living prices. I have airnost everything you may want to buy, and I will buy almost everything you have to sell. I pay highest market price for all kinds of produce. Bring on your poultry, one at a lime or two hundred at a time, and I will take it. Recollect that it is no trouble to show goods Give me a call whether you wish to buy or not. Thanking my patrons for post favors and soliciting a continuance of them in the future I am very respectfully your obedient servant.

Dr. Newton Newcomb, who accom panied the Je an n e tte expedition as natu ra list, was very ind ignant over the trea tm e n t o f Melville, and term ed It cowardly, moan and deserv ing the highest cepsure. “ Why,” oald the doctor, “ 1 was 80 Incensed w hen I read these base charges against Melville th a t I was on the point o f ind iting a le tte r to the pre.ss of A m er­ica on the sub ject; but, on rofieotion, con­cluded to w a it I w ant to say th a t w hat is charged against Melville Is as u n tru e as it is cowardly.

B ut to stab him in the back, to a t ­tack him when he has no cbanco to defend himself, is a m ost cow ardly piece of business.

“ If I thought,” oontinued the doctor, “ tha t I could find one of the poor follows who w ere lost, I would tu rn th is m inute and go back to all tha t hardship and p rivation cheerfu lly— yes, gladly—la o rder to save tbsm .

“ YflTCH-

her seemingly p retty nam e m ay be best learned by reading the o_ a poem addressed to her, “ when she wa.s yonng and charm ing,” by a sable ad­m irer of unusual erudition:“ Oh, lubly Itzable,

You m akes mo so m itzablol I neber is bappy 'cep ' when you Is vlzzable ”She was what is called a “ GuUah nig­

ger;” tha t is, she was born in Africa, and was brought to this country when a child. She always m aintained tha t she wa.s the daughter of a King, and had been kidnajied by mistake, nobody ever having had the cruelty to st to lier that perhaps her papa haa pos­sessed a superfluity of oOspring, and had been charm ed to p a rt with a score o r so on favorable term s. In proof of her royal birth she was fond of exhibit­ing a pair of broad bone bracelets, which, fitting loosely about h e r wrists, would not pass over her hands, and also a necklace of “ tooth,” which alw aysen- oircled her regal throat. About these teetli slie made various sta tem ents—at one tim e that they had hben extracted from the jaws of warriors slain in bat­tle by her valorous sire; a^ain, from a tiger which had fallen a victim to the sam e m ighty hand. Tlioy were shape­less bits of some hard substance, not much like the grinders of m an or beast, but they were held in t he utm ost rever­ence by all the negroes, one of whom confided to me the popular belief on the subject:

Mammy Isiinel’s personal appe'aranoe was very striking. A lthough of a

Seat age, she still uaiTied herself per- otly erect, and her small trim figure was

always clothed in a scanty black woolen dress, short enough to expose another token of her royal blood—tiny feet of beautiful shajie. Upon her head was a huge red turban, disclo.sing a t each tem ple a tu ft of snow^' wool. H er shin was intensely black, and a pair of heavy while overhanging eyebrows gave a singularly uncanny expression to her small brilliant eyes; and tlie big silver rings whicli dangled from lier ears put the finishing touch to an apperance as weird and striking as any “ witch-’om an” could have desired.

Woe be to the unlucky individual who ofifended this embodiiucnt of m agic and the black-art, or for whose discomfiture anybody would pay lier a good foe! His cliildren would Ijegin to pine aWay, his “ craps” would fail, his hogs grow lean, ana his fences tum ble down, and he himself l>e subjected to aches and pains innum erable, and perliaps even death itself, uule.ss the “ cunjer” was rem oved by :i timely bonus to the dreatled “ witch-’oiimn.” This being the general belief, there is small wonder Mammy Isabel, whose rule for m oney­m aking certainly worked both ways, shoula gradually have become the Croesus as well as the oracle of the neighborhood. Site was also much esteemed for her skill in “ doctorin’,” and was as careful to keep secret the ingredents of her “ ager pills,” “ ruraatiz ile ,” and “ mizry powders” as any quack jihysician alive. She was sedulous in preserving an air of profound m ystery in all her sayings and doings, was blessed witli a lino comm and of lan­guage, a hot tenijier, and a voice which, when raised, re.sembled that of a screech- owl. I t was imjxissible to appeal to her on moral grounds, as she d id not trouble lier.self with questions of ri^h t and wrong, insisting that it was quite im­m aterial to her “ wnar I ’s gwine when I’s done ceasted, ’ca/.e I always did ’spiso m ilk and’ honey, an’ I neber cud g it warm nuflf nohow ’ thout settin’ righ t up in de fire.”

Such was the old woman, object of untold fear and respect, to whom Isham Coombs, the hero of m y ta le—for there is a brief yet alfecting love story in­volved—Imving sc rew eau p his courage, jilucked up his wits, and adorned his person, pre.sented himself in o rder to request the hand of her granddaughter, who resided with her, tho beautcoins Salindy Ann. Salindy Ann had smiled upon him, bu t so had she upon several o ther youtlis, anil it was generally un­derstood th a t whoever was bold enough to gain the consent of Mammy Isabel, would not find his Dulcinea a t all un­willing. Mammy Isabel was a well- known foe to matrim ony, and she was a judge, having been m arried three times. So the ^rono.sed interview held no charm s for Ish.am, who did not even know that consoling line: “ None but the brave deserve the fair.”

Our hero was a small, dapper youth, vei-j' bow-legged, and w ith an expression which ran very much to smiles, es-

[lecially when he was excited o r appre- lensive. He attired himself in his “ Sunday close,” crowned the effect by a huge white standing collar, took a cane, the care of w h i^ would a t any rate present occupation for his trem ­bling hand.s, and set forth to learn bis fate. He whistled and .sang as he went along, bu t instead of keeping up his spirits, he felt them grow low er and lower. He reached the gate, and would fain have turned and floiL ba t he thought of Salindy Ann, and entered- “ Sher,” he said to himself, bravely, as he p ro­ceeded along the path, “ I ain’t skeer’d o’ trickin’. ’Tain’t nothin’ nohow. Mas’ Will he sesso—■”

Mammy Isabel was sitting ju st out­side the cabin door, her eyes and a tten ­tion apparently fixed on her knitting. Salindy Ann was nowhere in sight. Isham approached as near as he dared, then—

“ G-g-good-ebenin’, M ammy Izzable,” he said, pulling off Ins hat, g ripp ing it tightly in one hand and the cane in the other, and •visibly trem bling. Exces­sive perspiration had lowered one end of his collar, the other stood fiercely erect. M ammy l.«nibel raised her eyes, let them w ander around, above, beyond

le m erest accidentas though it was byshe had discovered any object so inslg-

her visitor, and finally drop upon him V thi

discoverednificant.

“ Oh! good-ebenin’, Is’am ,” she an­swered, stiffly.

Isham by this tim e earnestly desired to sit down; so, espying a three-legged stool, he hastily deposited himself upon it.

“ Take a seat, Is’am, take a sea t,” said Mammv, with emphasis; where­upon poor Isnam felt inclined to bounce up again. Tlien followed a grim silence. Mammy kn itted and l ^ a m wriggled. A t length, in desperation, the la tte r spoke.

“ I hope 1 sees you in good healt’. Mammy Izeable?” he s a i^ wishing to ingratiate himself.

“ I ’s berry well, Is’am ,” replied M ammy Isabel, suavely; *’an ’ how’s your’n, Is’amP Is you done g o t ober flat da* lickin’ y lt oV M as’ P e ter Jones gin you las’ week when he cotch you in the water-million patohP” ’

Isham writhed, and his smile was

som ething wonderful to behold.“ He! be! Mammy IsM ble,” he

tered;. “ le t d a t w arn’ft, aoUdn’. W e was jes’ in fun, hole of u a ” ,

“ W ell, m eb b r llokin’ii nothin^ when you’snse to ’em ,” was the w ither­ing reply. An’ I reok’n ’tw asfe r fun you w ent te r de million patob, but I bet ’tw am ’t no fun time you come o u t.” A nother squirm and a ta in t “ bel he!” came from Isham , but be le t the subjeot drop.

“ W har’s Salindy AnnP” was his next venture.

“ W har she b’longs, an* w har she’smfwlne te r stay—a-doin’ of her work

a t dar kitchen. Sha don’t have no time to go a-visitin’ in de arteruoons.”

Isham felt that a few more of these trenchant rem arks would annihilate his purpose, and make him take to bis heels, so with the courage of despair he gasped out:

“ Mammy Izzable, I dun come—fer te r—fer—ter—ax you—ter—te r—te r— lemine raairy Salindy A nn.”

The last words came out with a rush, and Isham shut his eyes tigh^ He half expected the devil to appear and bear him off’. But nothing touched him, and he ventured to peep. M ammy Isabel was regarding him grim ly, her bands folded on her lap. Years before, she had been perform ing some domestic duty in a room where a gentlem an was

Eetitioning her “ ol’ m assa” for the and of his daughter, and she had treas­

ured up what she had heard.May I venture to require,” she

asked, with great politeness, “ how you depose to export Salindy Ann wid de m anners besootabla to her perdition P”

“ Marm!” was the bewildered reply. This was alm ost as bad as the devil.

“ W har was you fotch up at, nigger, da t you can’t un’erstan’ de Englia’ lan- gidgeP How much wages does you g it a m ont’ P Does you m re rs ta n ’ dat?’”

“ Yes’m, oh yes’m ,” Isham hastened to reply. “ 1 g its—well, I gits mo’ sometime’ ’an I does odors. Some m ont’s I gits fi’ dollar.”

“ Humph! An’ w hat doe* yor g it w h e n y e r don’ g it fi’ dollar?”

“ W ell,” said Isham , reluctantly, “ W hen I don’ g it fi’ dollar, I don’ gin- iially g it nothin .”

“ ‘Son ' git nothin'—don' gii nothin' !" repeated Mammy Isabel, w ith intense sarcasm. “ Dem’s m ighty party wages fer to cum axin’ fer to m arry a young lady ’pon. Is 'am Coombs, yo’ m udder were a low-down, po’-white nigger, an ’ yo’ daddy were a no-’count nigger preacher, but I d id n 't th ink bofe on ’em togedder cud ’a had sich a awful fool n igger fer a son. Boy, ef you don’ call vei’s ^ f a fool ejot, w hat does yer call yerse’f?”

This was too much even for the meek- ne.ss of Isham, who replied with dignity: “ I calls myse’f a gen 'lem an .”

“ Yer does, does yer? By w hat quall- ocations does you consult youse’f to be a gen’lem an?’' retorted Mammy Isabel, again returning to her recollections of the conversation of “ ol’ m assa.”

“ MarmP” again proceeded from the d istracted Ilham .

“ W hat I was’in’ tim e on you fer? You don’ know nothin’ an you neber will. J e s ’ answ er me one ques’n: W har i.s you an’ Salindy Aim gwine ter lib? Jes’ tell me dat?’’

Isham slowly .shifted his stick to tho hand tha t held the hat, and his unoccu­pied digits traveled to his head, where they burrow ed perplexedly.

“ I fo u g h t—I fo u g h t—” he stam ­m ered a t length, w ith much hesitation, “ you m ought—let—Salindy Ann an’ me—lib—wid—you."

Mammy Isabel rose to her feet as the lost monosyllable struck her ear. She grasped the stick with which she walked —and which, having a head like a tr i­dent, was believed to be an instrum ent of m agic—and shook it a t him violently.

“ M e!" she screamed a t the top of her shrill old voice—“ m e!" Then, with a glance of w ithering scorn a t Isham , she turned toward the cabbin door. “ Salin­dy A nn,” she shouted, “ come ’ere to me!”

A m oment la te r a saucy, trim -looking girl apjieared in tho doorway in answer to the perem ptory summons.

“ Salindy Ann,"'* said M ammy Isabel, with grim empliasis, pointing witli her .stick at the trem bling Isham , who had retrea ted a few steps, in case a hasty flight should seem advisable, “ d id y e r tell da t dar Is’am Coombs you wanted te r m arry him V '

Isham looked im ploringly a t Salindy Ann. who had said that very thing. Salindy Ann glanced a t him, and then at the outstretched stick, with which she had an intim ate and painful acquaint­ance, and her heart failed her.

“ No, M ammy,” she said, falteringly, “ ’c lar to goodness I neber d id .”

“ You hear dat, nigger, don’ you?” inquired Mamma Isabel, trium phantly, of the dejected Isham. “ You clar yonrse’f off’n dese ere premus.scs, an’ don’ you leave no tracks aliin’ you, an’ ef you eber sets yo’ foot insiilo o

He clare<LBut Isham was much in love with

Salindy Ann. and even forgave her ba.se desertion of him in time of need. He was horribly afraid she m ight tliink him finally disposed of, and turn her a tten­tion to some other suitor, and he racked his brain for a metliod of im parting to her his faithfulness. Not f o i^ o r ld s — fiven with Salindy Ann-4hfown In— would ho have oro.ssed ‘“ dem palin’s” in defiance of Mammy Isabel’s prohibi­tion, but surely the road was free to all. Isham was a good banjo-player, and a leader in the church choir, so he con­cluded that he would serenade his lady­

love. B ut unlnoklly for him be aa- nouooed bis intention to sevenU of his oonfreres, boasting in an unguai:<ded ,moment th a t h* “ w am ’l ’in u d of Mammy laBabla, don’ keer ef she te a Witob-’uuian.” One of Mammy Isabel’s ironies repeated this to her, and with a malloiuuB chuckl* she rdholved to be ready for him.

One m oonlight night, about twelve o’clock, our hero weuded his wav to the cherished yet dreaded spot, aua there, just outside of the “ pa lin 's ,” he poured forth his soul in melody. He warbled of Dinah:

“ H«r ayes so biifrht, dny stainoa at nitrlit When da moon am *ono aw ay; ”

of Cindy, whose“ neck’s so Ion* a n ’ Htriu*y,

I feared sh e '11 q jb e r d ie ;”of Nellie, who

“ was a lady.My dark Vlr*lnia bride ;’*

of Susannah the forsaken, and Lucy th i betrayed, feeling more and more courai geous as the end of each soug fouiidj him still unmolested. At la.st “ snap!” went a string, and he looked round for a convenient place to sit down and mend it. Close to the fence was a sec­tion of a big pine log, and upon tha t lie ensconced liimself. He tinkered the string, ho tuned a little, aud sang a great deal more, enjoying himself fa­mously, and feeling uncommonly brave. At last the moon disappeared under a cloud, the nigiit grew cliillj’, and Isham concluded to leave, with the pleiLsing consciousness tliat Salindy Ann must liave appreciated his devotion.

He prepared to arise, but his hair was the only portion of him th a t rose. He could not move from his seat. He wriggled and twisted, he pulled and tugged, his eyes nearly popping out of his head, and his teeth chattering with fear; iron chains could not have bound him faster.

“ Lord have m arcy ’pon me!” heling his ban-

“ De ole 'nuff dis time.

O Lordy! O Ixirdy!” He dared not call out, for fear of worse consequences; he could not g e t up; he had not a spark of courage to be kept up by whistling or singiug. The clouds grew thicker, the night darker, the wind colder. Every now and then the captive made an abortive a ttem pt to escape, or m uttered a prayer for deliverance, but he mainly preserved the quiet of abject despair.

At last, accidentally turning his head toward the cabin, he thought he saw through the palings sometoing white approaching him. Yes, there it was, and now he heard a stealthy step. N ear­er and nearer it came, its outline.s vague, its proportions gigantic. It reached the fence beneath which Isham was cower­ing, a huge white scmiething stretched over tho fence immediately above his head, aud a dull, horrible groan saluted his ears.

There was a shriek, a wild struggle, a rending of garm ents, and a sound of fly­ing feet, and the pliice tliat had known Isham knew him no more.

Early nex t m orning Mammy Isabel m ight have been seen ju st outside her garden fence picking up a banjo, and disengaging from a pine log the gar-Qisengaging irom a pine log tlie ga r­m ent v^im i had clothed the nether limbs of Isham Coombs. She seemed to enjoy the perform ance immensely, for she chuckled as she said to herself at intervals:

“ Didn’t know I was a-.settin’ a t de windy a watchin’ on him, an ’ a-hearin’ ail dat miowin’. Ef he hadn’t sot down, I’d ’a had him some odder way. Alwus knowed I cud m ake good glue. An’ den da t ol’ white cow—he! he! ne!” and the old woman alm ost ben t double with delight.

“ Salindy Ann,” she said, re-entering the cabin with her trophies, “ you see dese yer things? Well, dey’s all you eber will see ^ da t fool Is’am Coombs.”

Salindy Ann didn’t believe her; but it was true. Isham Coombs left the country; but before he w ent he gave such a harrow ing account of his niglit's adventure tliat Salindy Ann never had another offer till h e r ^ a n d m o th e r’s death, which, luckily for her prospects, took place not very long afterw; rd .— Harper's Bazar. ______

At the time he did not notice it, nor were the three trilling scratches on the thum b discovered until he began to feel pain some hours afterward. W ith­in twenty-four liours from the time of the infliction of tlie wound inflammation set in. and thescratches developed into painful wounds. Dr. A. B. Ball, the family physician, was called, and, despite the be.st known m ethods of treatm ent, ery­sipelas set in, and was followed by ab­scesses of the hand and the lower th ird of the forearm . D r Robert F. W ier was called in consultation, the abscesses were lanced; but, though every trea t­m ent that m odem surgical and medical science has devised in such cases* was tried, blood poisoning resulted. Pneu­monia, combined witli a slight attack of pleurisy, followed, and Mr. Cuming was relieved from his intense sufferings on Friday by death. W hether the in­jury from the rose-thorn was the abso­lute cause .of disease and death the a t­tending physicians will not state as a certainty, though no other local cause leading to the final ro.sult can be ascer­tained.—JV. ¥.

How to Cook Rice.Rice is becoming a much more popular

article of food than heretofore. It is frequeutly substituied for potatoes at tbe chief meal of the day, being more nutritious and much more readily digested. At its present cost, it is relatively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or grain grits of any kind. In preparing it only just enough cold water should be poured on to prevent tbe rice from burning at tbe bot­tom of tbe pot, which should have a close fitting cover, aud with a moderate fire tbe rice is steamed rather than boiled until it ia nearly done; then tbe cover is taken off, the surplus steam and indisture allowed to escape, and the rice turns out a mass of snow-w hite kernels, each separate from the other, and as much superior to the usual soggy mass, as a flue mealy potato is superior to the water soaked article.

It is the purest, safest, and most efTectiial alterative inetllcliie known or available to the public. The sci­ences of luedleine and chemistry have never pitxluced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to care all tUseases resulting frotn impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Krysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony’s Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Bolls, Tum ors, T etter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheum atism , M ercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak- uesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, D3'spepsla, Em aciation, and General Debility.

By its searchiiig and ch.ian.siug qualities it purges out the foul edrruptious which contaminate the blood and cause derange­ment and decay. It MtiinuIatcH and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and Strength, restores amt pre^rves liesitii.aiid infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system.

But if it isn’t done, then it shows a g rea t deal. If g anuen ts were m ade a.s the “ one-boss sh a y ” was m ade, if the thread wa.s as good as the cloth, and the work as good as the thread, and the fastenings were sure, and th« linings nnatelied all the rest, and the wear w:us even and uniform throughout, there would be little m ending to be done. The worn garm en t would “ dis­solve,” so to speak, and leave nothing behind, nothing even for rag caiTjets, bu t such, aliis! is" no t the case. The cloth grows thin a t the elbows and knees (of boy.s), the buttons come off, the button-holes stretch and grow fuz­zy, the seams rip, the edges fray’, the fabric is tom by sharp points th a t lurk unseen and part the threads w ithout giving notiee, and, little by little, gar­m ents go to pieces, unless the constan t “ stifoh in tim e ” is taken.

There is a fish in the sea which is very numerous, as much so as the cod or herring, yet which seen. If it could be line food fish, and m arket supplies on I t is known as the tile fish, and it abounds along the western edge of the Golf stream , in seventy-five fathom W’ater, of a tem perature between forty and fifty degrees. A ttention has re ­cently been attrac ted to this fish by the fact that som ething has occurred in the ocean’s depths to kill g rea t num bers ol j them . Along the coast, from Sandy | Hook to N antucket, m yriads of tile fish ! were found dead during M arch last. It is a mVfStery w hat caused their destruc­tion. The scientists are puzzled. This is not an unusual phenomenon. In 1789, Sir John Sinclair sailed through leagues and leagues of sea covered with dead haddock. This was on the coast of Norway and Sweden, and for three j'ears haddock, before abundant in these regions, was very scarce. Is it not provoking to th ink th a t th is tile fish, which could be made so useful as food for man, cannot be caught? At lea.st it has not been caught so far, and is barely known to pisciculturists. If ever man should obtain as coTqpjiete knowledge of the bottqm of the sea as he has of the surfaoe of the land, it would doubtless be fotind tliat there are tens of thou-sands of varieties of fishes and submarine animals that'm igh t serve for hum an food.

As a general thing, there is a sort of airy unconcern about those who take boiirdeni, in regard to all m atters not absolutely “ down in the bond,” which is highly exasperating; and considering all things, the v/onder Is not th a t so many fail iu (Jiis calling, but th a t any succeed.

How often, for i n ^ n c e , does any one looking for board chance to find a room that has a home look about it? Do not the apartm ents generally shown look as if some one had just died there, and everything had been dism antled in con­sequence? Not a bit of drapery to bed or windows, not a bracket or a table cover, not a cushion or footstool. The four w alls'are there—often with an ug­ly naper on them —with the orthodox beostead and bureau and chairs, pos­sibly a hard lounge, bu t probably none at all. W hat possibilities of cheerful­ness are there in such a room, if the oc­cupants have no furniture of their own with which to brighten it?

“ But we oan’t afford to ornam ent rooms,” say the struggling lahdladies; “ it wouldn’t pay. We can’ scarcely make both ends m eet as it is,”

This is just where they make a mis­take, becaiise it would pay. I t would pay to drape the windows with cheap and tasteful curtains—those of white muslin, cretonne, unbleached muslin.

W estward from Houston thp Country becomes drier, though there is still much low prairie. All along the road through this region one sees many cat­tle, and soon learns the m eaning of the accounts, so often repeated, of cattle be­ing able to “ live out all winter, without feed or shelter.” They do live so; tha t is, some of them do. M any die from starvation. I saw their bodies everv- where, and m any of those still alive were wretchedly em aciated. Hundreils of them were, to use an expressive Southwestern phrase, “ on the lift;” tha t is. when they laid down they were so weak tha t they could not get up; but if they were helped to get up they could walk about and feed, until weariness or weakness prom pted them to Im . down again, when the process had to be repeat­ed. I saw g rea t num bers of dead ani­mals in the pools and ditches, where they had come to drink, and being too weak to struggle fhrough the m ud they had fallen into the w ater and been drowned. The owners appeared generally to hold the same cheerful philosophy with a m an with whom I talked at Corinth, Mi.ss., who thought he did no lose much when hundreds of his sheep died for w ant of food and shelter, because, as he said, “ we g it the wool.” So those Texas cattle men seemed satisfied with the hides. “ H undreds and thousands of the cattle die when the neVv grass begins to come;” so I was told every­where. The explanation is th a t the cattle, weak from long starvation and ravenous with hunger, ea t excessively of the fresh grass. They have no “ dry fee d ’" to serve as a corrective, and the surfeit oft green food kills them. The whole system and plan of cattle-raising in this State seemed to me to be enor­mously wa.steful. yet the industry is a source of wealth. I t would, however, be much more profitable with better methods; and as population becomes more dense, and the range for cattle i.s circumscribed, these will of necessity' be adopted .— Atlantic Monthly.

A few nights ago a Dooley County (Georgia) farm er, whose place is on the river, was walking around near his stock- yard, when he heard a squealing among his hog.s. He looked over the fence to learn the cause, when he found a large alligator had a dead hog, which it had killed, and was try ing to m ake its way to the river. He ran to the house for his gun and called to several of his bands to go with him to kill the alliga­tor. On arriv ing at the lot the hogs had disappeared and so had the w ater m onster. They followed to the river bank, and, instead of alligator tracks, discoyered thoae of two p erso n s . who had the akin of an alligator and had used it to oocomplish tne purpose of stealing hogs and m aking the owner, if he shoula discover them , believe it was an alligator. The row ing of a b6at down the river could be distinctly heard, bu t there was nothing to pursue in, so the m atter was dropped until a better opportunity was offered for catching up ra th the perpetra to rs .— Americus (& a.; Republican.

tftaring for d u r in g j^ a hunquor faimfliMi of yaluaule furs. Thousands of do llan ’,, worth of furs and fur-lined garm enta are confided to theii^ oare every spring, to be kept free of moths, and ro tum ed

^ good order in the autum n. “ But,” iboe of the largest up-town dealer^ ^ 4 , “ wo don’t w ant any faaore pr tbia Wjc k;' than we have now, and I thihK T would be willing to give it up altogether biit for th s ’i consideration th a t oastom ero who come to us for this service Will be likely some day to become pUrohMero, and so m ake us even. I t gives a g rea t deal of trouble. W om en h a r ^ , e v e r send boxes with th e ir .fu n , o r ,ijf ,'tiiey •do, the boaea are brokei|‘ ahdi'Qseleas. So we have to supply new txixes, cost­ing Sixty ‘Cents esen. Then*^ the fure have to ^ cleaned, aired Xhd beaten ev­ery week or two, repacked'; and In'siired. I t is expected also th a t we should take care or the most troublesom e things. One woman brings us a velvet dress, trimmed with feathers, tp be kept free of creases and moths during the season. Another insists on our keeping her h o n e blankets, ai\d wo h a re even had them send us rugs and carpets.

“ The only way to keep furs safely ie to clean them thoroughly before put­ting them away, then to put them in very close bo.xes, and every week, in the case of delicate furs, or two Weeks at most with the hardiest, to take them out, .shake and beat them well, air them thoroughly, apd replace them in their boxes. N othing can be pu t In the boxes with them whiob will enhance their safety, w ithout doing thetq injufy. Cam phor, in which m any persons navo such confidence, is very injurious to th a furs of sable, m ink and others, even to some of the colored ones, and its utt- pleasant odor clings to furs m uch long­er than to clothing. There is a ta r pa-

especially prepared for the pur-per.pose, which is said to keep moths away, and is largely used in keeping clothing, but we cannot use it, even if It were ceftain to exclude moths, because it gives the garm ents the disagreeable odor of tar, vimiuh would cling to them a long while. Tobacco and cedar chips are of little or no value, and we oei'tain- ly would never tru st to them for safe­ty. In fact, there is nothing on which we can rely confidently, except con­stan t care in airing, beating and packing away.

“ H atters generally, a t the close of their w inter goods season, pack in pasteboard boxes, with paper tightly pasted over the cracks, all the fu r caps, gloves, tippets, collars and such things tha t tliey have left over, and say that the plan works satisfactorily. Perhaps it does, with such small articles as they handle, but it would be im practicable of application to the care of g rea t silk and velvet circulars, lined with fur, heavy fur cloaks and other goods of this most expensive class. They would be ruined bj' such keeping, even if the m oths did not ge t a t them, which they very prob- ablj' would. The keeping out of creases is quite as im portant and as difficult as the keeping out of moths. Ladies Rometime.s g e t the idea of keeping their furs over the sum m er by sealing them up in air-tight boxes, and for a season or two they may do so successfully, as far as the moths are concerned, bu t in the end it is sure to work them woe. One lady of my acquaintance, who had a m agnificent $1,500 set of sables, said to m e : ‘W hy should I pay you several dollars for keeping my furs for me, when I have got ju st as good a way my­self which will cost me nothing?’ I said: ‘ Very well, there is no reason why you should pay me for doing what you can do as well.’ She sealed her furs in air-tight boxes. For two sea­sons the plan happened to work adm ira­bly. At the end of the th ird season, when she took them out of the boxes, she brought them to me. The worms were actually dropping out of them by scores. H er beautiful ftirs were wholly ruined. She doesn’t practice th a t soft of economy any more.

“ The prices for keeping furs vary greatly, according to their delicacy— for some are much more difficult to keep than others—ranging all the way from two per c e n t up to four per cent, on their value. W hen the great trouble incurred, the space required, the responsibility in v o lv ^ , and the cost of insurance against fire are all taken into account, tne charges are very low indeed—not enough to induce us to de­sire any extension of the business.”

An up town tailor has started , as a departm ent of his business, the keeping of m en's w inter clothing during th e ^ summer months. He b ^ a n it last year, and met with so much encourage­m ent th a t he ha.s increased his facilities for the present season. For keeping overcoats he charges fifty cents per m onth; coats, thirty-five cents; vests, tw enty cents; tronsere, twenty-five cents, and guarantees th a t the moths shall not injure them. He is very re t­icent about his methods, seeking to im­press the inquiring m ind with the Idea that he possesses A profound secret, the nearest he will come to revelation there­of being: “ 1 puts dem in a partic’lar kind of boxes vot I go t m it baper, u n t efery veek I airs dem unt shakes dem ouet.

Make an Asparagus Bed.

A sparagus is as easily raised as any­th ing th a t grows in the garden, and yet it is comparatively rare to find it upon the farm er’s table. The reason may be th a t much nonsense has been published about the difficulties of raising it, and tha t we have to w ait two or three years for the full m aturity of the plant. I t is true th a t a full crop will not be given in less than three years, bu t when the bed is once made, the job is done for a dozen or tw enty years. If m ade this spring, there will be one year the less to wait. Any good, well-drained soil th a t will bear com is suitable for aspar­agus. P u t in a half-cord of m anure to every four square rods of ground. W ork it in thoroughly. Set out one- year-old plants, in rows four feet apart, and two feet in the row. They can be kept clean then w ith the harrow or cul­tivator. I t should have cultivation once in two weeks, th rough the grow ing sea­son. Cover the beds with m anure in the fall, and fork it under in the spring. Cultivate thoroughly through the second A ason and to p ^ re ss as nefore. The second season « few stalks may be cut in April and May, but there should be no close cu tting until the th ird }’ear, and this should not be continued la te r than the middle of June. The plan ts m ust have tim e to grow, and recuperate in m idsum m er, or the bed,will soon fail. The secret of large, tine asparagus is abundant m anure, applied in the fall every season, thorougn cultivation until the tops prevent, an d stopping the cu t­ting by the middle of June. The blanched asparagus tha t is so popular in some m arkets, is secured by cover­ing the beds with sea-weed, straw or o ther mulch. I t is poor stuff in com ­parison witli the long, green, tender shoots that h.ive had the full benelit of th e sunlight on a rich 8oll.*-.4rnencan Agriculturist.
