Altihlnff Cheese In a Hntali Way. X. A. Willard, a dairy editor, tells ho to make cheese in a small way, as fo lows : Good fair, family cheese can I made with even rude implements ar appliances. If nothing better is at liac a common washtub, if clean and swee will answer tbe purpose for setting tl milk and working the curds. A hoo mu^t be had from the cooper in whic to presB the curds. Let it bd (for small quantity of milk) say from eigl to ten inches in diameter (top and bo torn) by twelve inches high and fitte with a follower. A very good press ca be made in a few hours from a twelvi iooc pianii ana a rew pieces or scantlinj Aborit a foot from either end of tb plank set up two short pieces of scan ling five or six inches apart. Faste them firmly to the plank with bolts an pius. The lever may be a joist, say foi by six inches and fourteen feet lonj One end is secured by a pin passin through it and the uprights at one en of the plank and set one and one-ha feet above the bed piece of the planl This lever is to move freely up an down between the uprights at the oth( end, and a weight hung on at this en of the lever will give you a press thi will do good servico. The weights i the end of the long lever are a Btone < two from the field. Another lever is a ranged for raising the long lever or prei beam without removing the weigh which, in that case, may be made st tionary. The hoop containing tl curds is placed on the plank near tl ond of tho lever which is secured wil the pin. Blocks are put upon the fc lower and the pressbeam let down upc them, and in this way the cheese pressed. A long, thin, wooden ksife will do f cutting the curds. A gallon of mil wine measure, will make nearly a pour of cheese ; or if the milk is weighe ten pounds will make one of these chees and thus the weight of the cheese mi be calculated from the quantity of mi. in the tub. Curing IlnmM. There is in nearly every neighborhoc a man who has a reputation for curir hams. People find something in tl taste of bacon that comes from h smokehouse that they do not find in thi grading the highest in the market. Th man is one who has a good smokehousi who is careful as to all preparatoi measures, careful as to tho hanging < hams, shoulders, etc., and who choofv the material out of which he builds hi tire for producing smoku with a know edge of what will produce tho best rt Clllfd Daluiif wm Anvtfn lit L DCAOtlU/U UX V.CJL UtJli AiUUD t wood and its preparation iu a particula way might be laughed at in this day o wholesale smoking as tine points, am the man who insisted on thoroughly cleaning his smokehouse before ho pu his meat into it might be called ove particular, but there is no doubt li would give us the old flavor and ?x^*l lenco. It is possible that farmers m-p loct many of these Sue points, iu whit* their fathers had great pride, and so fa: in keeping up the standard of bom cured meat. If this should be read b any farmer of the old regime, wo hop he will at once communicate the detail of his own process of curing meat. Be suppose there is no smokehouse on tb farm ? The Rural Nctv- Yorker advise a plan in use in many localities. On slight rise of ground dig an undei ground passage, one en ft open for a fir< the other opening in a krje b.irrel stanc iug on tbo giouud, in viifch the ham and shoulders are to be hung, or a bo may take the place of the barrel. After the tire is well started, the lower end ia closed, and the smoke seeks an outlet through the barrel or box at the other eud. Small Potntoes for Seed. Says a correspondent: I have made an experiment the past season, the result of which, I think, explodes the theory that small potatoes for seed will only re turn a small crop of small potatoes. Cut seed planted under our burning July suu is sure to rot, while the use of large whole potatoes involves considerable expense. A square of ground contain ing 2,500 square feet, from which a crop of cauliflower lrnd recently been taken, was prepared and planted July 12 with white Peachblow culls. Few of them, if any, were larger than pigeon's eggs. As is always the case here, even with the best seed, some failed to grow, say five I TMio nlonfd fcpann tn Rhnw pd JLAX*? themselves early in August, at which time heavy rains set in and so continual ly saturated the soil that no working was possible until September 5. Then a plow was run through the rows and a dress ing out with the hoe was given them. Soon after, the vines so covered the ground that further cultivation was im possible. The patch was harvested Oc tober 30. The product was a fraction over twenty bushels of the largest and finest potatoes ever grown in this sec tion. With the exception of two and a half pecks of small potatoes, about the size of the seed sown, all are large. Fully one-half average one pound each in weight, and the remainder are of full marketable size and fine appearance. This yield is at the rate of 350 bushels per acre. A heavy coat of barnyard ma nure was applied to the previous crop, but no additional fertilizer was used. Batter and Cheese Trade. The total production of butter in the United States in 1870 was 514,092,683 pounds; in 1860 it was 459,681,372 pounds.

New York leads in butter as well as in cheese; about one tiftb of our product of butter is hers. Btit little butier is made in the Southern States. The most southerly of the prin cipal butter producing States named in the above table is Kentucky, which pro duces scarcely auy cheese, there beiug at the present time, as we were recently informed, but one factory in the State. All the Southern States have fallen off in their production of butter?Virginia from 13,464,722 in 18G0 to 6,979,269 pounds in 1870; Tennessee from 10,017, 787 to 9,571,069. Others have fallen off in like manner, probably because other crops have been found more profitable, an ' A hke decrease in the production of but ue | ter is observable iu several of the North ils ! em States, mainly, we pi^sume, because ir; j they have turned their attention to the m' j production of cheese, as is the case with y. j Massachusetts, which decreased the ;]? i amount of her butter crop from 8,297, j 986 pounds in 1860 to 6,550,161 pounds , ) J in 1870, while she increased her cheese ir I crop from 1,885,466 to 2,070,238 pounds private dairy and 2,245,873 pounds fac I Ir. nnwtA TKa \Tnnr Toront? . | tUIJf JLU lliC OtUJiC tlUIV* J.UU ^V'TT VW4WVJ ' | butter yield fell from 10,714,447 to t ! 8,266,023, and Connecticut from 3,898, ' j 411 tcr 2,031,194 pounds, while Minneso i ta increased her product of butter from j 2.957,673 pounds in 1860 to 9,522,010 in 3f ' 1870.

The President ial Term. The United States House judiciary committee had an interesting session on the one-term constitutional amendment which was submitted to the House in Kt7 TVIV T^orn^oll nf T^ATmsrrl vania, and it was finally decided by a bare majority to report to the House and recommend its passage, as follows: Resolved, by the Sen^ and House of Representatives, two-thirds of each house concurring therein, That the fol lowing articlo be proposed to tHe Legis latures 01mo several oiuioa as ?u umeua ment to the Constitution of the United States which, when ratified by three fourths of said Legislatures, shall be valid as a partof the Constitution, name ly: "Article 16?From and after the next election for a President of the Uni ted States the President shall hold his office during the term of six years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same term, be elected in the manner as now provided or may here after be provided, but neither the Presi ! dent nor the Vice-President, when the office of President has devolved upon him, shall be eligible for re-election as President." A minority of the committee reported an amendment, as a substitute for this, proposing two terms of four years each and providing against a third term. The Randall amendment is operative only from 1880, as three-fourths of the States would be unable to ratify be tween now and the next election. The nnpstinn r>romis?q to ba verv cenerallv discussed in all its bearings. The South ern' members say"that the six years' term in the Confederate constitution was finally condemned in all quarters. The First Bill. The first appropriation bill of the United States House passed in the shape of the Pension bill, which appropriates some $29,000.000 for the armv and Davy pensions. Mi*. Atkins, of Tennessee, who reoorted the bill, brieflv explained jg I its details, and, as an ex-Confederate, ^! supported it as a whole, and said among 1 other things that the frauds upon the pension list appeared to be annually de creasing. No amendment was made to the bill, the proposed reforms in paying tne pension list belonging more appro priately to the regular pension com mittee, where it was decided to leave it. Hott It iTag Taught. A Pennsylvauian has taught a canary bird to sing "Home, Sweet Home," in this way : He placed the canary in a room where it could not hear the sing ing of other birds, suspended its cage from the ceiling, so that it would see its , reflection in a mirror, and beneath the ] glass placed a musical box that was regu , lated to play no other tune but " Home, Sweet Home." Hearing no other sounds ! but this, and believing the" music pro e ceeded from the bird it saw in the mir ror, the young canary soon began to . ; the notes, and finally got so that it sings Is ; the song perfectly. e> | 7 jf | Results of a Spree. s | Dr. O.

A HOME-BRED HERO. Oyer One Hundred Uvea Saved by One Man .?The Brave Deeds of nn American John Lambert?What John Horn of Detroit ban Done. Among the applications made to the last Congress for a medal for services in the saving of life was that of John Horn, of Detroit, who may be justly 6tyled a home-bred John Lambert. Mr. Horn is a yonng man living at Detroit, assist ing his father there in a small tavern near the public wharves. Doubtless this proximity to the water has given him the opportunities which he has had in several years for saving what he cal ciliated in tlie aggregate at aDouc one hundred human lives from death by drowning. The Hon. Moses W. Field of the House of Representatives, who knew Horn in Detroit, brought his claim to tne attention of Congress. In collect | ing information in regard to Horn's | singular and thrilling adventures, the J following letter was obtained from the hero himself. It is a very modest and not detailed report of what he has ac complished, told in simple and homely i language, and will be read with peculiar j interest. the HEBO'S own STOUT. Dear Sir: I have never desired a public statement of the service which, under God, I have been able to render in saving human life, but as you have asked me to send you a list of the men, women, and children whom I have res cued from drowning I will do so, so far as I can from memory. I have never I kept a record of the names, and the I number is so great that you will excuso me if I leave some unmentioned. I think I have altogether saved more ' than one hundred human beings, but I ! falio tin r?rpdit about this matter, and I } have never regretted doing what I have i done in any case, although I have had at times to keep my bed for many weeks on account of the exposure in the cold ! weather. It is well for me that I had a good mother to take care of me at such times of sickness. On the twenty-first of M iy, 18?, I saved Mr. Manning, of Windsor. On the seventh of July, 1865, I saved Mr. George Taylor, of New York State ; he was very near dead when I got him on the wharf. October 10, 1865,1 saved a child of Mr. F. Gorman, of Adrian ; she was about five years old, and was near drowned when 1 got her out. December 12, 1865, I saved a son of Mr. Yates, who kept a clothing store nn Jftftflrfinn nvflnne. The nicht was very cold, a high wind was blowing at the time, and he was very near dead when we reached the Bhore. April 11, 186G, was the worst night I ever had. It will be ever memorable as the night of the great conflagration at the Detroit and Milwaukee railroad depot, when sixteen poor fellows were drowned. I rescued nine, and then be came so exhausted that I could not swim, j and had to abandon them to their fate. I got a bad cold and lay in bed two weeks, but that was nothing in compari son to the good accomplished. July 25, 1866,1 saved Mr. Joseph Noble, of Windsor, and I believe you were there at the time. He was once engineer on the Great Western railroad. You know he came near drowning me by his struggles in the water, at which time I received severe internal injuries. April 7, 1867, I saved the 6on of Mr. C. Myers, who lived in Mullet street. He was a boy about twelve years old. Juno 14, 1867, I saved the daughter of Mr. Aiidrew Norse, of Cleveland. She was going on board the ferryboat with her mother and some other ladies, when she fell off the plank. When I got to the wharf she was going out of sight for the last time, and 1 plunged in and brought her to the surface. Q/vr*f 1ft lfiA7 T DOTr/irl o nnlnr^r? mnn who was a deckhand on the propeller Meteor. He kicked me about in the water terribly, for drowning men are al ways crazy. Nov. 2, 1867, 1 saved Mr. David Miller, the man who drove a wagon for Hull Bros., storekeepers on Monroe avenue. May 10, 1868,1 saved Mr. Robert Sinton, known as " Free fYess Bob." You know he used to l?e a reporter for the Free Press. And in his baste to get news he fell in, and I got him out. A few nights after that I saved Mr. Steele, who used to keep a store on Michigan avenue. Ho was on the ferry boat with his wife; he had a very spirit ed horse, and was holding him by the 1-kAo/l wlion flio ViAof. ofrn/>lr tVia wharf The horse jumped and threw him into the river, when the current swept him under the wharf. I jumped in and got him out all light. Oct. 4, 1868,1 saved a daughter of Mr McDonald, of Wind sor. May 12, 1869, I saved Mr. Flat tery, one of the Flattery Brothers who keep a furniture store on Woodward avenue. He was a heavy man; when I got .hold of him he was near gone, and I came near losing my own life in getting him out. June 21, 1870,1 saved a man called Mr. George Brodier. I was eat ing dinner at the time, when some per ou came running in after me, saying: "There is a man in the river." I ran out and jumped into the river, and aa soon as I got near him he clutched me like a vise and took me under the water twice. When I came to the top the last I time, my father handed me a long pile, which l caugnt, ana mat Baveu me. ne was a powerful man, and kicked and struggled so hard that he" made mj legs black and blue for many mouths. My mother goes to* the edge of the wharf with mo very often, when I jump in; bnt when she sees persons struggling in the water and drowning, she never holds me back. August 24,1871,1 saved the daughter of Mr. A. Wilson, of Milwaukee. March 4, 1872, I saved a colored man by the name of George Wilkes; he fell off the wharf while under the influence of liquor, but I think he has been a sober man ever since. Joly 4, 1873, I saved the daughter of Mr. F. Barlow, a butcher, who keeps a stall in the market. She was going on board the ferryboat Detroit with her mother and some other lacues; tile crowa was very great, ueiog the fourth of July, and although her mother held her by the hand, the orowd surged, and she was crowded off the plank and foil into the river. There were about five hundred people on the wharf at the time, and they were all staring at the poor girl struggling in the water, not one of them daring to go to her rescue. I was in the house when some one came to give the alarm, and when I got out there I could just see her dress as she was going out of sight four or five feet below the surface. I jumped in and caught her, and when I got out on the top of tlie wharf with her the peo ple gave me three cheers. March 6, 1873,1 saved a young lady called Miss Louise McKenzio. This was the closest call I over had for my life. I was in the ! water about seventeen minutes, and the j river ^being full of floating ice at th time i was nearer ueau man aiive wnen I got out. Fotir men carried me into the house, and tliey rubbed me with hot whisky for over four hours before circu lation was restored to its normal condi tion. This severe exposuro made me sick, aud it' was over three months be fore the right feeling was in my hands. You will remember this incident, for you came to me when I was unwell. I regret very much at this time I lost the beautiful medal preseuted mo by the citizens, and I think you were one of the gentlemen connected with its presenta tion. I havo been informed that I would receive a medal from the British jrariiameiit, uut it uus iioi come. jl don't ask any. I save J "a poof unfortunate individ ual " last mouth, when I took a severe cold, and as I was lying in bod reading the proceedings of Congress, I saw something about nn appropriation for meda'.s to persons for saving life on the seashore, and I thought then that some gentleman would be very likely to re member also those who saved life on the northern lakes and rivers. There are many other cases which I don't mention, as I have not got their names. You must know yourself of a great many, as your place of business and warehouse ! are near by. and I recollect seeing you several times when rescuing people from a watery grave. Wishing you and your family good health, I remain, very truly yours, (Signed) John Hoiin, Jr. Gladstone says : " Educate the work ing c.'ass by keeping your children in it." THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. What It May Accomplish?A Lone LUt o Good Thlnr* In View. Phe New York Herald., in a length] editorial on the Centennial and what i will accomplish, says: It will retain a home that large part of our wealth] population -who pass their summers ii Europe. It will attract hither multi tudes of people from all part3 of Europi and South America, who will spent money freely in this country durinj their stay of several months. The swarn of visitors will not merely go to the ex position; most of them will trave through the country visiting all point of interest, contributing to the prosperity ofv our railroads and the hotels of on principal cities and chief waterini plaoes. Hundreds of thousands of Eu ropeans who have relatives in the Unitei States will take this occasion to visi them, witness their good fortune in th new world and renew old ties of kindrei and friendship. Our visitors will vastl; exceed the number of our own citizen who usually go to Europe in the sum mer on expensive pleasure trips. Th population of Europe is about two hun dred and seventy million; that of Sout] America, including Mexico and Centra America, about thirty million; whil our own population is but little mor than forty million. The sourcea fror which we shall draw visitors are mor than seven times as great as those fror which we usually send them, and be sides keeping our own people at home t spend their money here we will attrac many times their number from abroad The effect of snch an influx of foreigner will be to lift our people out of the de spondency into which they have fallei during the business stagnation of th last two vears. and erive a needed impe tus to hope and confidence. The cos of the exposition will be a bagatelle L comparison with the pecuniary advac tages it will bring and the fresh impuls it will impart by touching all the nerve of our dormant activity. Another benefit worth tenfold the cos of the exposition will bo its happy, in fluence in restoring a good understand ing between the North and the South All the irritations and antagonisms gene rated by the civil war will be effaced b; the common sentiments of patriotism and hallowed memories awakened b; the occasion. It will bring the bes people of the North and the best peop! of the South face to face in friendly in tercourse, and the mntual exchange o courtesies and cordial sentiments wi] sweeten the fountains which have s< long poured forth bitter waters. Ou family feuds will fade out of sight in th presence of foreigners to whom we shal all be equally anxious to exhibit our in stitutions in their most attractive aspect Bat the completeness of this beneflcen result will depend on our making th occasion brilliant euough to be a power ful center of attraction to all the world A failure would cause the American pec pie to hang their heads in shame andde plore a lost opportunity. Of all the years of our history thi centennial year is the one in which : war or any foreign disturbance would b most inopportune. A grid's fair is, i: its very nature, a grand symbol o peace. When we invite the presence o all nations in exhibiting the trophies o civilization and the growth of arts th< harsh sounds of war would be insuffer ably jarring and discordant. Peace hath her victories, no less renownei than war, and of all the grand victories of peaci none is so resplendent as an internation al exposition, whi;h, in the language oi Prince Albert, presents " a proof anc living picture of the height of civiliza tion and the progress of mankind." Le this century close in tranquility and b< crowned with the brightest trophies o peace 1 If we have rights to assert oi injuries to avenge against other nation! let all our causes of quarrel be post poned during this centennial year of fes tivity and congratulation I Another Case of Yinegar Bitters. In the evidence of the divorce suit o Dr. Walker, of vinegar bitters notoriety from his wife, Eliza Jaue, it was showi that the doctor commenced making th< bitters in California, some years ago makine and selling them in a basket His present wife?the doctor's third? from whom he is trying to separata legally, then a widow, visited him, anc when a sufficient quantity of the medi cine had been made, she took some bot ties, and with a basket on her arm ped died the preparation through the street: of S:ockton. She sold large quantities, and from these sales Walker realizec his first thousand dollars. He ther went to Sau Francisco, leaving Mrs, Brenton in Stockton, and she managec the business there. Walker at lengtl: sent for Mrs. Brenton, and, on the 31si of August, 1868, they were married, Thev lived happily until about 1870. At this time Walker had amassed ovej $1,000,000, and his bitters were yielding a nflt nrofit of from M00 to S600 pei day. Dr. Walker was formerly a char coal peddler in New York oity. Hit wife, in a counter suit demands thai Walker "be ordered to provide hex with a suitable house and furniture ii New York city, of the kind to which she has been accustomed, to enable he] to properly live pending the suit, andtc pay her the sum of three hundred dol lars per week for hor support and main' tenance during that time," a suitabh counsel fee, and for final decree she de mands that "he pay her the sum ol $20,000 per annum during her life as permanent alimony, and that the same be guarded by a decree or judgment ol lein, of at least the sum of SiiUU,UUU, tc prevent his disposal thoreof by gift 01 otherwise." An Important Matter. The Mosel disaster caused a genera hunt for explosive stores all over Ger many, and it was shown i hat in almosi every city there was enough of this dangerous "material on hand to destroj the place and all tho people in it. The same is no doubt true of other couu tries. Three ships with dynamite car goes lying off Harburg, in the frozer river Elbe, had to turn out their fierj cargoes without a moment's loss oi time. No less than 1,200 chests enough to heave up the earth?wer< carried io a iiouow ui wu miw numt seven miles from tho city. There the} will remain buried uutil returning spring allows the ships to continue theii voyage. The inhabitants of the fortress of Minden, too, have sent in a petition reques ing that twenty thousand poundf of the dangerous stuff deposited in th< earthworks in the immediate vicinity ol their city be removed forthwith. Theii petition will, no doubt, be attended to, and fresh regulations issued to contm the manufacture, storing and sale oi explosives. It is, however, obviouf that, unless the more civilized and in dustnal countries unue in mu precuu tionary measures, the citizens of all will bo exposed to the peril of suffering foi the omission of one. Where a few Eounds snffico to work such a terrible avoc, this is a consideration which should not be lost sight of.

A Tail Siory. Thirty-nine years ago, on tho mominp of the battle of San Jaointo, Paul dt Ponel, a sutler in tho Mexican army, bnried his loose cash beneath a clumj of bushes on the bank of a neighboring bayou. Then he " fitted into the war ' and was captnred. A mouth rtgo lit landed at Galveston, hired a schooner, I nailod 11 t> to San Jacinto and limited nj the battlefield. After ft search of twt days ho ptruck tho right locality ami found his treasure, amounting to $1,80( in Mexican gold coin, undisturbed. II is proper to add that the original buslief had grown to be tall treeH, though noth ing like as tall as the story.

Coloring a Black Silk Dress. After constant use for months, or may f be a year, the most carefully kept black j dress will begin to show the effects of [ use, in a certain rustiness of hue and \ general dinginess of aspcct, if in no ; ! place actually rubbed or worn. Now is \ the time to expend a littlo skill and in- , ganuity in its renovation, when the ] economist may be rewarded by coming ( out in an old dress made now, sure of , eliciting the admiration of at least all j those who are in the secret. ,:For the , undertaking provide yourself with ten j cents' worth of soap bark, procurable at , any herb store, and boil it in one quart ] of water. Let it steep a while, and then , strain it into a basin for use. If the job is to be a perfect and thorough one, take the body and sleeves apart and to pieces; ; rip off the trimming from skirt and over- 1 skirt. Brush off all loose dust first, and 1.1 ?!tU A f.Vin a/tart j. Ill till, W.lliJU a O^/uugo ui^ou iu vuv uuu^ e bark decoction, wipe over each piece j thoroughly, folding np as you proceed. ~ Have ready a ladies' skirt board for g pressing, and well heated irons. Smooth _ every piece on the wrong side, including 0 even silk trimmings; and when you have L. once more put it together you will be jj amazed to see the results of the simple j process. One advantage of taking the e whole dress apart is that, by putting the e trimming on in some style a Little differ a ent from what it was at first, the attrac e tion of novelty is added to make the a effect more pleasing. If one has not h time, however, to go through the whole 0 process, a dress may be greatly improved t by being wiped over with this mixture, and pressed on the wrong side while 3 damp?indeed, for a time, it will look quite as good as new. The process may tt be repeated from time to time as shall e seem advisable. I have seen a cashmere, which had been wrn two whole winters, taken apart and treated in this way, and the closest observer would have suppos ed the dress to have been put on for the first time, such was its soft, fresh look, and the vividness of its black. Grena dine may be submitted to the same sort of cleaning with fine results. Carrying System too Far. As an illustration of systems carried too far Barnum tells a story of the origi nal proprietors of the Astor House, New York. One of these believed thor oughly in system, and when his system was interfered with became utterly up set. On one occasion one of the wait ers was taken ill so as to be unable to attend to his duties, and this distressing circumstance occurred just half an hour before dinner time. The systematic nrnnrififnr nime to his colleacue in exeat distress, and, wringing liis hands, ex claimed that it would be impossible to servo dinner that day, that a waiter was disabled and that the system was all broken. His colleague suggested that Pat, the " boots," should take the sick waiter's place. This was an excellent plan, and Pat was called up and asked if he knew how to servo at the table. Pat announced that he did, and that there was no need to tell him a thing about his new duties. So having been duly washed and combed and aproned, Pat came to the table to wait and there met the systematic proprietor, who had come simply to tell him to "observe system " in his new duties. Pat answered, "never fear but he would mind the system," and went to bring soup for two of the guests. He placed the soup before them and stood respectfully be hind their chairs uniil thry should have I finished. One guest proceeded to eat his soup; the other pushed his plate I atrav. Rfivinrr that he wcnld have fish. [ Pat stood stiff and silont, and the guest j reoeating his order for fish a second r time, the new waiter leaned over and t said: " Yez'll get no fish till yez ate the 3 sonp; that's the system." " And that," f said Barnum, " was carrying system too r far." ? Bonnets. A fashionable girl says: What are called poke-bonnets are most popular at present with young ladies. These are slender shapes worn on the back of the head, and extending high above it. In f stead of having flaring brims, they are ? close on the sides, and the whole top of 1 tha head is left uncovered. These shapes 3 in cream colored felt, or in velvet to match costumes, are used for dress hats. They are trimmed with soft silk and two " nodding demi-plumes. An ornament of ? gold or of silver is seen on many hand ' some velvet hats, yet most milliners use such decorations with care. A. bird's wing stuck in the face trimming is also a popular fancy with stylish young 3 ladies. The last importations are capoto bon nets, shaped like babies' bonnets, with out a frame, and with cape and soft crowns that can be crushed without in jury. The front frames the face, and is tied under the chin, like the old-time cottage bonnets?a warm and comfort able fashion that we predict will become popular next winter after the poke-bon nets now worn have exposed the head of t.lifi wfiarer and brouerht on neuralgia and other ailments. A pretty capote of brown silk, with crown and cape in one piece, has a brown o. trich ruche for face trimming, and a damask rose. A long scarf of ecru lace passes over the top, and serves for strings to tie under the chin. The Italian Brigand is the name given a new round hat of black velvet, or of velvet made with high pointed crown and wide brim turned down. A scarf of scarlet silk, with gold bands in the end, is twisted round the orown, and an odd little aigrette of game feathers is stuck in the back. Shelley's Death. It will be remembered that a short tlmo onm a. cf.nrv wn.q nnf. in rtirnnInfirm to the effect that an old Bailor, dying, had confessed that the drowning of the poet Shelley was due to pirates?of [ whom the Bailor was one?who attacked the boat in which Shelley was under the i |. impression that the wealthy English j milord " Byron was in it. A captain , in the Italian navy, who is residing at 5 bpezzia, has investigated the story, and finds it to have had no basis in truth, i . The captain has sifted the reports cur- i , rent in Spozzia, and interrogated the 1 , civil and ecclesiastical authorities, and f f asserts that no one in the town knows i anything whatever about the old sailor i 5 or the strange confession he is said to < j have made on his deathbed. The cap- < r tain continues: "But for Miss Tre- i , lawny we should never have heard of i 1 this extraordinary event, or its fantastic ( , details. People here feel sure that the / whole is a mystification practiced on 1 , some poctio imagination excited by 1 , Disraeli's 'Venetia,' and put it down < f to some wag of a sailor who had known i . and served the illustrious but restless 1 English poets. One in particular is i [ mentioned, who is very clever at retail- < f iug fables on a subjcot that interests ?. j English people, and wbo has pretty well i made a business of it. It would be 1 wronging our priests to suppose them l [ capable of betraying the secrets of tho ] . confessional. One of two hypotheses is i \ possible: either the coufession was made < , with a view to reparation, under tho s j pressure of remorse, and it was tho i priest's duty to give it all possible pub- < | licity and to make a deposition boforo 1 , | the courts; or it was a case of a penitent who wanted to confess all his sins in or der to present himself unstained before the throne of God; and you know as well as I do, sir, that no priest, without com- f I liiu ontliAi'itv nnrl nnsiti'nn ' ' '""""'"B "*' J I? would betray the secrets of the confes sional. This remark has been made to mo in various forms by all the civil au tho-ities and the priests to whom I have tpokon, and till I learn to the contrary 1 shall feel convinced that Miss Tre lawny has been deceived. Let her give us the name of the person who supplied her with the news, and on the part of the authorities I can promise that no search, no pains will be spared to estab lish the historical truth of the story which has excited the curiosity of the English public." Eis Reason's.?Tn Missouri, a ft w years ago, a legislator who had rec- iveri a single pass on a railroad declined h 011 the grounds: First, that it was not a season ticket; second, that it was no transferable ; third, that " he didn' live in tlx it direction;" fourth, that i he did ho ojald " walk it quicker," an thit he wouU " sac thorn blamed fir.sfc. Baby Lions In Central Park. The twin lions in the Central Park, New York, were but three weeks' old, jays a visitor, when I looked in upon khem. They are called Romulus And Remus, and lie in a cradle of straw, mckled by an animal of tho wolf genus, i watchdog of the menagerie, a large, handsome half-breed mastiff. Her eight children were taken from her three weeks igo, and the whelps of Jenny, the [ioness, after two or tnree days of starva tion at their mother's breast, were given to the dog. Their lionlike and uncanine odor startled her, and she gave the baby lions some severe cuffs, whereby the smaller one still weeps with a sore eye. Aiter two or three days tho mother dog forgot that they were not puppies, and has ever since carefully nnrsed and tendorly bathed them every day with her tongue. The cubs are yet too young to gambol, but they fight lustily for the best oppor fcunitiea of taking their infantile food. Romulus, -who is the larger, is always master, selfishly sending away his little brother, whose forehead is nearly;de nuded by those frequent fights for the best place. They are unappreciative of caresae-t and move uneasily about in their pen, giving faint sounds that were only slightly indicative of the lion's roar, but their little giant paws show long nails, and on the floor they walk rapidly, with soft, dragging, stealthy step. Until they are three months old, they will be allowed only infant's foot. By that time the first teeth will be through. They are already visible through the gums. Whelps are kept as long as pos sible on milk, and long after they quit eating flesh the mother dog will be kept with them, to afford the delicate cubs her warmth. But were she not removed at meal times they would without hesita tion eat her without compunction, The whelps have soft, short fur of a tawny, yellow color, with a dark streak down the spine, and a fat, tapering tail. Bred in this latitude, youtg lions- are tender throughout infancy, but in teething they ?< """ /1nn/?ai.mio rvarinrla At: fthnnt pooo l/trw UttUgt-lV/UD J/V4 4VUUI wvw?> a year old, they shed their milk teeth, and at the cutting of the second set they meet a critical period, which but a small proportion of lions, captive or wild, sur vive. At four years of age, they are full grown. They do not develop their rea soning powers, said Mr. Conkling, be fore tJbey cut the second teeth. Romu lus has all his incisor and is cutting his eye teeth. Remus has the lower in cisors, and has two upper little front teeth. Their brother, two years old, retains the name of Baby; is in a cage by him self, and is a handsome creature. Their parents, Jenny and Lincoln, are also in the menagerie, each alone, and content* d to be alone. Aside from a slight conjn jugal affection, they have no love for any living being?beast or man?but their keeper. At his approach they ronse into emotional activity, roar affection ately, with the softest voice of which a lion is capable, and run their shaggy heads and shoulders against the bars of the cage in unmistakable delight when their friend and master flatters them with the playful caresses of a stick. "Jenny is not a loving mother," said the keeper. " She showed no regret for the young, taken trom nor ac mree aays old, and seems to be without the mater nal sentiment which some lions havo in small degree. Lincoln is said to be the handsomest lion in Ameiica. He aud Jenny are seven years old, were captured in Africa, and purchased by a sea captain, who brought them to this country, selling them to New York city for 81,650. A Solemn Retreat The Passionist Fathers, who occupy St. Michael's monastery in Hoboken, N. J., opened a religious retreat for the benefit of Roman Catholic men, who are desirous of wholly secluding themselves from worldly affairs for the term of eight dayB. All applicants for admis sion into the monastery for the term and purpose above referred to were freely admitted; but the priests expect at least five dollars from each penitent to defray expenses. Many give ten and fifteen dollars, and in some instances much larger amounts aro contributed by wealthy penitents at the close of the re treat. Each penitent has a separate apart ment, containing a bed, a washing stand, a bureau, a tabic, and pious books and pictures, Tt board given to the penitential guests is much more sumptuous and select than that which the priests allow themselves. Exercise is afforded the temporary recluses on the spacious corridors, or, weather per mitting, in the fine garden at the rear of khe monastery. Many prominent and wealthy gentle men of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey Dity have subjected themselves to the religious ordeal briefly described in this report. The ceremonies and nature of ihe religious retreat are as solemn and interesting as they are peculiar. The Gold Yield. The mines in the States and Territor ies west of the Missouri river, including British Columbia and the west coast of Mexico, show a yield of $80,889,037 dur ing the present year, being an excess of nearly $6,500,000 over that of last year. Nevada, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, British Columbia, Montana, and Arizona increased. California, Idaho, Utah and Washington decreased. The decrease in California was due to want of water. The increase in Colorado and Nevada tvas very notable. The latter yields more than one-half of the whole. The present prospect of the yield next year indicates that it will reach $96,000,000, jf which Nevada will contribute $50, 300,000. Wells, Fargo & Co. carried over 123,500,000 of gold dust and bullion and aver $41,000,000 of silver bullion. The ather $16,000,000 was in ores and base bullion. Happy >Tew Year! While the bolls were joyously ringing in the new year, and while the merri nent was highest in many a happy lome, says a St. Louis paper, a weary, jin laden soul, but filled with great joy it its happy release, was winging its 3ight into eternity. The scene was in one )f the houses in St. Louis, where all hat is most beautiful find holy iu woman ,s trampled under foot. In the lonely :oom were gathered a mother and a sister >f the dying girl, and a minister of the jospel who labors in the highways and Dyways, and if their eyes were dinned irith tears, their hearts still felt a throb if joy in the joyful thought that the dy ng sinner was prepared for death. Wliw ilnpsn'fc ftod take me?" said Teeny Ross, tho unfortunate ; aud God liil take hor, iu obedience to her prayer. Fenny Ross has seen nothing but sorrow :rom the time her father aud brothers svere slain in tho war. Through dreary fears she drudged al her uncle's for the oittauco of hfr board. She felt deeper nisery still when she wandered into the ;ity, aud fell, never to rise again. A sweet disposition, a kind and peaoe-lov ng mind, mad? her beloved by all her jompanions. She now sleeps in Belle 'ontaine. A TVituess who Knew. Witnesses m trials are not so greeu ?ometiruos as they let ou they are. At i recent trial in Nevada, Bisboff, of the Humboldt brewery, was called as a witness. Mr. Bisboff is one of the solid nen of Elko, whero lie has been in business since the town was started in the winter of 1858. Upon being sworn, Dounselor Rind, one of the attorneys in the case, who, by the wny. is also an old ret-ideiitof Elko, taid : " Mr. Bisboff, tvhere do you reside ?" " Where I ve nule ? What for you ask me such foolish things? You diink?at my place more as i hundred times." "That has nothing to do with the c.iso on trial, Mr. Bis boff; state to the jury where you re ride." "De shurry ! de shurry! Oh, r>y jimmy! ofery gentleman on dis ilmrry has a string of marks on miue jellar door just liko a rail fence." His honor hero interceded in the counselor's behalf, and in a calm, dignified manner requested the witness to state where he resided. " Oh, excuse me, shudge; you Jrinks at my place so many times and pays mo noting*, I Jinks you know old Bishoff vat keeps the brewery." The First Ylgitor. The history of the first rat that went to Wisconsin is now being traced out by the early settlers. A vessel was wrecked at Kenosha before the town was built up, and the rat came ashore; a light snow bad fallen, and the people tracked the rat for six miles, to a bam in the country. Every effort possible waa made to hunt the veteran out and de stroy him, but without success. The sight of a woman driving a cat> attracted the notice of the jpolice in Glasgow, and the regular driver was found inside the vehicle, dead. The woman had gone on a spree with a com E anion, and had given the man so much quor that he had passed from insensi bility to death.

Through ber own imprudence and folly she is made to drag out a miserable existence?a source of annoyance and anxiety to her friends, and anything but a comfort and pleasure to herself. Exposure to the cold at times when she should be moet prudent, and overtaxing her body with labori ous employment, are both fruitful causes of many of the maladies from which Bbe suffers.

What does she need ? Sfiauld she take somo stimulating drug, whioh will for the tme make her "feel tetter," or does her entire system demand reparation? She requires something which not only will re store to health the diseased organs, but will tone and invigorato the system. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will do this. It imparts strength to the diseased parts, brings back the glow of health, and restores comfort where previously there was only suffering.

These de?errodly celebrated tad popular medicine* hare effected a revolution In the heaUngart, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for man; /ear* obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that" Consumption Is incurable" deterred phjrsloiana from attempting to find romedie* for that dlceaie, and patients afflicted with It reconciled them, selves to death without making aa effort to escape from a doom which the; supposed to be unavoidable. It if now proved, however, that Consumption eon ia curtd, and that It hat been oarea in a very groat nsmmr 01 cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Sobenck's Palmonlo Syrup alone; and In other oaset by the same medicine In connootlon with Sohenok's Sea Weed Tonlo and Mandrake Pills, one or both, accord ing to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenok himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate of death, hM physicians having pronounced bLs ca?e hopeless, and abandoned him to bis fate. He was oared by the aforesaid medi cines, and flnos bl? recovery, many tnousands similarly affected have used Or. Schoack's preparation* with the same remnrkab.e success.
