Farm, Garten and Household. Fattening Hoga? A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph has the following to say in reference to tho best method of fattening hogs: "I must now hasten to give some of my own experience with the hogs. I used to keep them in my younger days to furnish meat for my family and to sell to get a little spare cash. The kind with small bones, small ears, and short noses, that with good keeping at a year old would make about 325 pounds of pork, was my favorite. (The first one I ever fattened weighed 260 pounds at eight months old.) Milk and potatoes are the best food for young pigs, after weaning, to make them thrive; they also relish a few grains of corn at this time, as well as a squirrel does a few nuts as they grow along. In the season for it they snouia oe suppuea daily witn iresn green weeds or young clover ; a few green corn-stalks are also good to feed them in their season, and the slops and the refuse of the kitchen with a little meal are also good. With this food they should be fed liberally but not too surfeiting, and kept growing right along in a thrifty condition till about two months before killing time, during which they should be fed liberally with more concentrated and fattening food. Boiled pumpkins, thickened while hot with corn meal, are excellent food for them, so are also boiled sweet apples thickened with meal, and so is scalded meal alone, and some think for some days previous to slaughtering time they should be fed with dry corn and pure cold water, that it makes their meat harder and sweeter. Reared and fattened as above directed, their meat will be sweet and wholesome for those that labor in out-door occupations, especially in the colder ports of the year, and will do for those that love it to cook with beans, green peas, and other vegetables iu the summer season, though I should myself much prefer as a substitute a piece of ripe stall-fed beef that was sweet and nicely kept in a pickle made of salt and brown sugar, with just a very little nip of saltpetre to make the meat tender. Evening Exercise lor Yarded Fowl*. During the summer, when fowls must be shut up on account of their scattering propensities, much of the ill effects of their imprisonment may be avoided if they are let out for a short period at evening. While out they may be watched, although there is but little danger of their going into the garden, and they will find enough on the grass plots to keep them busy. Indeed, it is surprising how beneficial this time of exercise is. The fowls, knowing that they arc to have a chance to get out, are much more quiet during the day, and if regularity in letting them out and shutting them up be observed, they will return to their roots without trouble. It is possible, also, that an hour at evening is nearly as good as a whole day, so far as the health of the flock is concerned ; for if there is any special article of diet needed, they will hunt all the more diligently. It is for this reason that they will prefer the grass to the plowed land. By such an arrangement as this, large flocks can be kept in good condition, although shut up through the year. How to I'm a Spade. The man who can handle a spade properly does not find it very hard or laborious work. He first lets the spade fall of its own weight down to the spot where the spadeful is to be taken up. taking care that the breadth of the surface ground is not more than four inches ; then he draws back the spade a little, which takes off much of the friction of the descending blade. One good thrust of the spade with the foot then sends the blade down its full depth. A backward pressure makes a lever of the handle and heel of the spade, and a dextrous turn of the wrist sends the spadeful upside down just where it is wanted. There is no raking or "sputtering" needed to make the ground level. A slight tap with the corner of the spade makes the work as regular and plane as if laid off with an instrument. Preparing Rennets* THa liPfif. xrnv fnr nr^norinnr rpnnpfc io to steep in whey. tfhe whey should be raised to the boiling heat, when the albuminous matter will rise, and may be skimmed off. Whey, when petrified, will in a short time develop acidity; and then is regarded as altogether the best liquid for iteeping rennet that has yet been discovered. The whey should not be allowed to get sour and decomposed before heating and skimming, but should be taken sweet from the curds, and purified as above described. Salt may be added to the whey when ready for the rennets, and these should be rubbed out and set to steep in the 6ame manner as when water is used for steeping instead of whey.?Jtural New Yorker, A Bearded Woman's Passion. The death of the bearded woman, says a Paris correspondent, is announced. J Her name was Jacqueline Doublin. For the past year she has been a nightly visitor at the "Chatelet." Each evening she attended the theatre in the garb of a man. alwavs oc cupying the snme seat. She called forth not a little attention, her long black hair and beard rendering her an object of especial interest. About two months ago she appeared in an elegant woman's attire, her face closely shaved. Notwithstanding the change of dress, she was instantly recognized by the gallery, and greeted in a conspicuous but not satisfactory manner. From that she was seen no more, and it was soon rumored that she was ill; also that Baid illness was the result of a violent and hopeless love for the leading actor of the Chatelet. On her death-bed the unfortunate Jacqueline wrote a letter to the Commissioner of Police acknowledging her passion, which the physicians actually state was the cause of her death. The CrnsE of the Flowery Empire. ?Opium seems to be the continuing and increasing curse of China. Dr. Legge, who has been traveling from renin to snangnai, wnn a view to ascertaining the condition of the people of Northern China, makes the melancholy report that the growth of opinm in that country is increasing at a prodigious rate, to the exclusion of the cultivation of food. In one district, largo tracts of land were entirely covered with poppies, and the doctor was . informed that the cultivation only began last year. Some land will yield a profit by opium greater than that of wheat by two, three, four, and even six times. The Chinese peasant's love of the debasing drug is attributed to his being "tied down to the soil of his own distnot and shut out from intercourse with his fellows by unjust regulations of every sort." Gypsy Lovers. When a young gypsy sees a young maiden of another tribe, he begins bus- Sl iness by stolen glances. If not returned, unless possessed of a bold heart, he will relinquish the game; but if, on the contrary, he sees that they are not ill accepted, he manages to waylay the a maiden,perhaps returning from a spring ^ with water poised gracefully on her head, and commences somewnat thus: 0 Indeed I have taken a great liking to ii you, and I would be a most happy man if you would become my wife ; I will g be a good and kind husband to you, and will take care that you will be made a comfortable in your tent, and will not b want for fire in winter. Will you be fc mine ? If the answer is favorable he |( will doubtless tell her to try to meet him ^ again, or he will, if possible, circum- j. vent her in another like manner, and v then their arrangements will be made j to take the first opportunity of escape a by an elopement. If they are near a 8 city they will take cars and go to some t other point, but if in the country each ^ will take a horse, and, like young Loch- a invar, gallop their steeds to a place of a security, and await until the storm of ^ the indignant parents (always those of r the girl) are blown over. But generally ? the tantrums of the old man are terrific. a Wnn Kn fn onr nfliAr nliiM nr nnimftl t. who crosses his path. He generally burns and destroys all the effects of the muiden, and forbids his family mentioning her name. But after his temper iB cool, 6ay in about a month or two, the lepentant couple return, go on their knees, beg his pardon, and are forgiven. But if, on the contrary, the maiden rejects the suit of her admirer, she goes home and tells her parents of him, and of his propositions, and then ensues a scene, a storm that beggars description. If there are any big brothers on the scene it will generally result in a fair and square English light, and after both being satisfied they shake hands and take a " smile," and are as good friends as ever. In England once a couple " to my knowledge," who had had several interviews put their project in execution one winter night when the snow lay thick on the earth. To deceive their parents they cut the uppers of their shoes, reversed the soles, and so escaped, their tracks all indicating coming to the camp. The Age of the Earth. The new method of ascertaining the age of the earth, which is a present topio in German 6cientifio circles, attempts to determine approximately the time at which the fiery liquid earthball for the first time covered itself with a crust. This is done by means of the difference of the longest and the shorest diameter of the earth. According to the calculations of Newton and Huygens this would be in 1578, if the rotation of the earth had always been completed in twenty-four hours, wliile, in fact, it amounts to 1298, which is equivalent to a rotation time of seventeen hours and sixteen minutes, which must ^ have once been the time of the earth's t rotation. It is, however, probable, for j reasons -which neea not do gone into, that at the time the earth was covering itself with a firm crust the time of rotation was also a mean between the original and the present time. That a retardation of the rotation of time has taken and is still taking place is now as good as proved, although formerly it was sti ongly doubted. Of all heavenly bodies it is the moon whom astronomers know best, and have most exactly calculated from her movements. Now, the co-efficients of the secular acceleration of the moon's course, as found on the one hand from the oldest observations of eclipses, on the other from the theory, are at variance, and there are differences which ought not to exist in the calculations of so well observed a body. Agreement can only be obtained when it is supposed that during the 1,000 years which have passed since the Greeks first calculated the eclipses, the rotation of the earth has been retarded 0.01197 seconds. There exists no difficulty about the causes of this retardation, which is perfectly well explained by the tides. From the cipher thus found, it is easily calculated how much time will be required to cause a retardation of nearly four hours, and the result is that since the firm crust of the earth formed itself, more than 2,000,000,000 of years must have elapsed. A Good Lesson. If your boys revolt from study, give tnem an opportuni ty to test tne pleasure j of manual labor, and then let them fol- ( low the occupation they prefer. In nine 1 cases out of ten, books will carry the j day. " When I was a boy," said the ' elder Adams, "I had to study the Latin 1 grammar, but it was dull, and I hated * it. My father was anxious to send me j to college; and, therefore, I studied J grammar till I could bear it no longer, J and going to my father, I told him I ' did not like study, and asked for some ( otner employment. It was opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his answer. 'Well, John, if Latin grammar does not suit, you may try ditch- . ing, perhaps that will. My meadow needs a ditch, and you may put Latin by and try that.' This seemed a delightful change, and to the meadow I went. But I soon found ditching harder than Latin, and the first forenoon was the longest I ever experienced. That day I ate the bread of labor, and glad wus I when night came on. That night I made some comparison between Latin grammar and ditching, but said not a word about it. I dug the next forenoon and wanted to return to Latin at dinner, but it was humiliating, and I could not do it. At night, toil conquered pride, and I told my father? one of tne severest trials of my lite? that if chose, I would go back to Latin grammar. He was glad of it; and, if I have since gained any distinction, it has been owing to the two days' labor in that abominable ditch." Education of Women. Commenting upon the fact that not one woman was saved on the fatal Atlantic, although many had the same chance of life as the men, an exchange says:?"The strength of women at the crisis of their life depends on their physical culture while children. Let parents be no more ashamed of their girte' brown faoes and fists than of their boys'. Let them train and clothe them so that they can run and climb and care for and protect themselves. Let them take them with their brothers into the harvest field. A boy is not ashamed of work; no more should be a girl. The refinement that shuts a girl out of God's sunshine, and allows her no rougher work in-doors than to embroider worsteads, or tap ivory keys, or dust a marble mantle, is refining her off of the face of the earth to give place to the daughters of the servants of the kitchen." - v L The Panic Passing Away. ome ot the Causes Which Produced It, Se and the Duties That Will Follow It. The best simile we can find to dejribe the week of panic in Wall street, iys a New York paper, is th^t of a simle conflagration. Indeed, it would be P1 lmost as easy to make a map of the urned district as it was of Chicago P1 r Boston or Baltimore. A few streets es w a the neighborhood of Wall and Broad ju a eluded all that there was of real d< nancial danger or actual financial dis- d< ster. A few daring and speculative rokers, and fewer unsound banks and ar rust companies, yielded to the flames ni or which they had provided the com- st instibles, but beyond these no business ol nterest suffered, and trade generally hi .as unaffected. Even the failure ol di lenrv Clews & Co.. and Howes & Macy, ec tided little to the excitement, and it b< eemed apparent on every hand that m he panic was slowly dying away. In p< he end it will scarcely be regarded as n< . disaster?certainly not a national dis- T ster. The great lesson of the panic is, n] hat while it caused fear and alarm al- tl aost everywhere, it was in reality con- tl Ined to those who created it, and it is di pparent at last that Wall street may w te convulsed to its very foundations k< without involving anything beyond it. 1g lereofter the bulls and bears of the cl treet may tear each other to pieces, p .nd they will only be regarded by solid tl msiness men as so many marionettes (laying their puppet parts for the musement of people who delight in witnessing the curious effects produced (y cleverly managed machinery. f? The panic came almost without fore- s< warning, but it was the result of causes ong in active operation. The war had tl eft ns a legacy of shams aud false b ;rowths. Though it is more than eight js ears since, we were not yet free from ai he fatal poison of war speculations and b he loose notions of business and busi- ri less integrity with which the people ti were innoculated. And other things h ;rew out of the war equally hurtful c< with this constitutional disease. It gave tc is an^inflated currency, which enticed w aen into speculations, certain at some tl ime to create a stringency for them, a] )vertrading, consequent upon the war ir pirit of speculation, depleted the g, ountry of its gold and made a return ft o specie payments impolitio, if not im- ji (ossible.

The constant r< ecurrence of defalcations by men hold- aj ng the most sacred fiduciary rela- Tl ions to the people and the government, . ind the deadening moral tone among lasses of society, tended to bring, ci ibout the crash which well nigh in- m rolved the country in ruin. It is a renarkable circumstance that financial tc louses antedating the war have fallen iccause of the evils generated by the var.

The results have S jeen fearful, but they bring with them ^ 1 promise of pnrer health and sweeter ti itrength in the future. ?

Nothing was left to them exsept to go^to the wall, and in going they iave so far hurt nobody outside of the vhirlpool of speculation. The great lusiness interests which centre in the netropolis see that they are independ- a ;nt of the men who tosB stocks up and I iown, and in the future fancy shares i jought and sold upon a margin will iave little more influence upon the marcet than the triumphs of the prima p lonna at the opera. ci b hovel Duck Hunting. r, An ingenious Minnesota youth is to 11 ie credited with a novelty in the way of a luck hunting. He lives at a beautiful ? >pot known as Rice Lake from the wild ice growing on its margin as thick as j* vheat in a field. Ducks love this rice, " ind when they have partaken of a suffi- lient quantity their flesh becomes of a aature to tempt the palate of an anchor- h te. But the Rice Lake ducks, either ?i :rom experience or an instinct which nay be said to be wisdom intensified, ? lo not like human company, and when b ;hey see a hunter approaching, gener- o illy hasten out of gun-shot range. " Dick, the youth before alluded to, was particularly fond of ducks, and looked vith contempt upon the futile efforts of 4 bis sire to provide the table with this " lelicacy. He determined to have some lucks for dinner, if it took all the norning to accomplish the task. Pro- , needing to the corn-field, he selected a ^ arge pumpkin, cut a hole in one end, ? removed its internal arrangements, car- u ried it down to the shore, divested him- c self of his clothes, placed the pumpkin 8 3ver his head, and waded in among the " rice. In a short time the fat and tender pioneer of a flock of ducks approached, t> md imagining the vegetable to be free [ from guile, encouraged the others to 11 follow. They were partaking of their e matutinal meal, when astonishment struck them at the sight of the pioneer suddenly diving?not that there is anything astonishing in a duck diving?but . this one dived feet foremost and neglected to come up. A committee of 1 sne was appointed to investigate, and * approaching the pumpkin, suddenly made a backward dive, and was gone. , rhis was enough for the others. They a fled in dismay, and henceforth numbered as among their deadliest terrors J the innocent ingredient of New Eng- b land pies. J - ^ . - mm. Cholera In the East.

The Deathjof Captain Hall. A telegram from London says: "Morton, who personally attended Captain Hall to the moment of his death, makes the statement that Hall returned in ( perfect health from the journey which preceded his final illness. He was a short time in his cabin, where he took 3ome coffee, and immediately afterward 1 became sick and vomited. Hall said they were poisoning him. Morton evidently believes the same thing. He also suspects the subsequent medical treatment. He has, however, a violent feeling against the doctor, which may color his judgment." Whisky and the Weed.?Intelligent physiologists and pathologists admit that all so-called medicines containing alcohol?whether they emanate from the regular pharmacopoeia and are called tinctures, or from the Fmpirical Rum Mills, and are labeled " Tonics "?are essentially dangerous and destructive.

Walker's California Yin* fl . egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable m ^ preparation, made chiefly from the nak tive herbs found on the lower ranges of - the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of AlcohoL The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Votsoab Bitters t" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vjttxoak Brrrnta in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver ana Visoenl Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walxrb's Vineoak B/ttbbs are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilious.

In their - treatment, a purgative, exerting a powe erful influence upon these various or- * gans, is essentially necessary. There *" is no cathartic for the purpose equal to it Dr. j. Walker's Vinegar Bitter^ as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the , bowels are loaded, at the same time k stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.
