FAJUI, GARDEN AXD HOUSEHOLD Protection for Wheal. When winter approaches we are care ful t<> supply ourselves with additiona cl'tiling, and our domestic imals witl additional protection. Nature and com mon sense teaches us to do this withou waiting for experience to do it. The lat ter, however, lnis had to teach us tha fruit and winter grain and grass alsi need protection during winter in rigor ous cliino.-i. A few years ago, compara tively, our tillable lauds were surroundei oy forests which furnished the needei protection, and such u thing as whea frpirainp nut was senrcelv luard of. Lu the idea of protection being needed di not enter our father's bruin-'. To tber the forests were the great obstacles t agriculture, and th?-ir spt-edy renmv; was the tir-t object to be accomplished This demolition has coiitinued until th raising of winter graiu has become rery precarious business, and we at learning by bitter experience that fores wern useful for other purposes tha furnishing fuel and protection to wil animals. The beneficial influence of a belt c timber is at once apparent to all wh have raised wheat in such situations. - farmer of our acquaintance has a fiel very favorably situated, with thick fores 011 the north and west, and it ahvay gives a good erop of wheat, compare with other fields in the same locality The same thing has been noted in liuu dreds of other instances. Even hedge rows ol Osage orange or wmw muun, ^ locust, have changed the character o fields bo that with proper culture a cro] of wheat from them has become a matte of reasonable expectation, whenever it i required. These timber belts or hedge rows prevent the winds fr.)m sweepinj over with full force and di ifting off th snow, which is the best covering a cro; oan have. But the timber is gone and hedge rows must bo planted and have time t grow before they can help us. Som other protection must be afforded, if w desire to prevent winter killing. Th only method applicable to all cases i mulching with manure or straw. Thi has been tested with such invariably ei celleut results, that there is no questioi about its practical utility. The firs field wo ever saw treated in this wav wa one so situated that the snow was alway drifted from the most of it. Knowinj this fact, the owner gave a coat of coarsc strawy manure to the most exposed part late in the fall. The winter was a sever one, ana the result was that tiie muicnei part produced much the best crop, al though naturally the poorest soil. Th manure and straw not only furnish pro taction in themselves, but they catcl and hold the snow, preventing it fron all drifting away. The fertilizing ob jects are no less important, but as ou subject is protection, we will not mor< than refer to it. Where manure canno be furnished, straw alone can be used A few inches of straw will be sufficient and it is easily and quickly applied Of course this method is not practical ii the oAse of extensive crops, but for th small breadth sown by the average farme it is eminently so.?Ohio Farmer. Winter Plowing. Plowing land in winter for sprinj crops is attendfd with advantages o which the thoughtful farmer will no fail to avail himself. Water in plowec ground, on becoming frozen, exerts i powerful force in disintegrating anc mellowing the most tenacious clay soils and is almost invaluable to the farme] who knows how to use it to the mobl advantage. It hastens chemical actior in many ways. On congealing, tht water in mineral and organic substances is expended, and combinations inimica to decay are often broken up and de stroyed?as in the case of an apple oi potato after being frozen. Ice thai will burst an iron pot. will meet witl very liitle difficulty in disintegrating ant comminuting the most obdurate soil and thereby assist in its improvement Plowing increases the capacity of soili to hold water," which, becoming frozen expands and commutes it into intini tesimal fragments, und is therefore it: most efficient pulverizer. And thus re suits are obtained from the plowing au? fr^ziug which neither alone cou!< se<!tire. in the preparation of land, therefore for next season's tillage the advantage! of winter plowing are most decided Of cour-e lands which are so steep as t< wash badly should not, under most cir cumstances, be plowed in the fall fo: winter, but when there is a necessity fo: doing so, the hillside plow should b usod, and the furrows so directed tha the washing rains or melting snows cai do them as little damage as possible Another great advantage of fall o: winter plowing is that two or thre< inches more depth of scil can be throwi up than in spring plowing, the frosts o winter so mellowing the raw, cold sub soil as to render its incorporation witl the surface soil an easy matter. It follows, then, from these facts, tha whenever the ground is not too wet particularly where there is a large spring crop in view?it is best to command th< services of Jack Frost in comminuting and preparing the soil, ready for an earb start in the spring. This great mechani cal assistant costs nothing, and is alwayi on hand, if the land has been plowed ii time. It is these natural forces tha tuti larmex buuiuu biuuj lu tu tin best advantage, whether they be sola; light, heat, Ascending rains of spring summer and autumn in bringing dowi the enriching stores of plant food fron the atmosphere, or the hard freezing weather of winter. The deeper th< earth is stirred, and the more its particlei are comminuted, the more rain it wil absorb and hold, and consequently thi more of those enriching stores of plan food contained in the atmosphere an brought down and secured. The join action of the plowing and freezing of thi soil is therefore of more value than i; generally understood or appreciated. New and Good Krclpei. Veal for Brhakfast.?Take a rounc earthen di?h and put in it a layer o brean crumbs. Over these put spots o! butter. Then a layer of minced colc veal, with salt and pepper; then mor< crumbs, butter, veal, salt and pepper When the dish is full, with a layer oi crumbs for the top, pour over it an egg. beaten well, and mixed in half a cup oi milk. If you have gravy it is better tban milk.

The farmer or raiser of live stock who does not keep his animals from losing fat and flesh during the winter months is not an economical manager. "When ever a cow or horse has been exposed to a cold and wot storm a large quantity of food is consumed to generate animal heat. If the supply of food is insuffi cient the fat that has been secreted in the system will be employed to keep the Ik'ft^t warm. Bears frequently retire to their winter refuges rolling in fat. But when gentle spring returns their fat is all gone, having been consutred to maintain the heat and life of the auimals during cold weather. Cows and oxen often come from the pasture field at the close of the growing season in an excel lent oondition as tc flesh and fat, but before the winter is half gone they are spring poor, having used up nearly all their fat to keep their bodies comfort ably warm. Every intelligent farmer will admit that keeping neat cattle on tallow rather tbau fodder, meal and comfortable sheds or stables is a most unprofitable and ex pensive mode of maintaining live stock in cold weather. Let any one view this Knbject in its true light and he will at mdiscover that it is extremely bad policy to allow animals of any sort to , I ra w oven a small portion of nourish ment from the secretions of tho body. For example?a cow or an ox often loses two hundred pounds of fat and flesh during the winter months. Every reader can compute tho cash value of one hun dred pounds of fat and flesh in his own locality, then he can compute the cost of erecting oomfortablo sheds and the ex pense of a little more feed, a sufficiency to enable the cow or ox to retain all the fat and flesh that were secreted. Pru dent managers cannot afford to keep their live stock on fat and flesh, as the enormous expense incident to such a practice will consume all the profits. A Snow Shovel. To make a handy snow shovel, tako a light, tough, half inch board, twenty incnes long ana a iooc vriae. onarpeu one end, and over it rivet a strip of thin sheet iron, bent sharp to fit the edge; this form9 the cutting edge. Across the o^her end nail firmly a piece an inch ?liick, five inches wide, and long enough to extend across the shovel board. Bore an inch hole through this, slanting downward and forward, so that the handle when passed through the hole will strike the board three or four inches in front of the cross piece. Bevel the end of the handle to fit the shovel board, and fasten it with a staple. The handle should be long enough to work without stooping, and the whole thing should be as light as possible. Steam on the Highway. The State of Wisconsin has taken a very practical initiative in the important matter of promoting the use of steam power on tlie highways, by offering a reward of ten thousand dollars to the in ventor of any successful machine tnat r will be practicable on the highways. e The money is to be paid to any citizen t of Wisconsin, who shall invent and, after five years' continued trial and use, shall > produce a machine propelled by steam or other motive agent, the object ol 1 which is a substitute for the use of horses 0 or other animals on the highways or r farm. The said locomotive must be of such construction and width as to oonform with or run in the ordinary track of the j: common wagon or buggy now in use, and be able to run backward or turn out of the road to accommodate other vehi cles in passing, and be able to ascend or desoend a grade of at least two hundred feet to the mile. Deereps of Intoxication. 1 At a murder trial in Chicago a color 5 ed waiter in a restaurant was called as a ? witness, and in the course of his cross 1 examination testified as follows : By Mr. Barge?Was Davis drunk at ? the time time lie shot Whyland, and at the time he was kicking the bear ? A.? j He wasn't drunk enough to fall down; he could keep his legs well. ? By Mr. O'Brien?You think a man is not drunk unless he falls to the ground? H Witness?No; he's only tight. Mr. O'Brien?Will you have the con descension, Henry, to explain the dif * ference between being drunk and being " tight ? Henry?Certainly, sir; you see, when 1 a man is drunk he's too drunk for any thing. and he falls flat on tho ground; ' but when he's tight he don't fall to the s ground, he's only just bad enough to be cross and ugly. ) r Steeple Chases. r In Europe the lowest rule for fences and ftone walls in riding 3teeple chases fc are four foet six inches, and the water 1 jumps twelve feet. At Punchestown, in Ireland, the stone walls and fences r are said to be about five feet high, and - the brooks or water jumps from twelve to fourteen feet in width. They are the same height and breadth in France ; and the horses of those countries go over these great distances with less danger to the rider or themselves than American horses go over the two and a half and three feet obstacles that are put in front of them on the race courses. The horse Lottery, in England, is said to have jumped thirty-four feet over hurdles, at Liverpool, and Chandler, at Warwick, jumped thirty-nine feet over water ; and Lochiel, in this country, jumped twenty-eight feet over buah and water. The Death Penaltj. A Mr. Frank has introduced a bill in the Maine Legislature to abolish capital punishment. It provides that the pen alty for murder shall be imprisonment iui me, iuiu biiai ttiij piiauiiei uuua sentence for murder may make applica tion to a judge of the supreme court for a rehearing of his case, accompanied with a statement of the ground on which it is made, which must be new evidence; also a statement of the nature of the evidenoe. The oourt may order a re hearing of the case, citing at the same time the State attorney. If, on a full hearing, the evidence is conclusive to establish the innocence of,the accused, or that he is guilty of a lesser degree of crime, the fact will be reported to the governor with the recommendation of the court, and the governor shall par don or commute as recommended. Retrenchment, The United States House committee on appropriations agreed to fix the pay of Senators and Representatives at $4,500 per annum, with the mileage clause as it stands at present. The as sistant journal clerk and tally clerk in the House are to be dispensed with, also four other officers of the clerk's office. The pay of all the clerks in the House is to be reduced ten per cent, on the mini mum amount appropriated last session, so that the highest pay any clerk will re ceive will not exceed $2,700 a year. The private secretsry to the Speaker is abol ished. Mr. Adams, clerk of the House, paid that if he could bave had his way there would not have been a single clerk uuderhim. The appointments had given him more troublo than the actual duties of the office. Treat the Child Reasonably. A child has a right to ask questions and to be fairly answered; not to be snubbed as if he were guilty of an im pertinence. nor ignored as thnnrrh his desire for information were of no conse quence, nor misled us if it did not sig nify whether true or false impressions were made upon his mind. He has a right to be taught everything which he desires to learn, and to be made certain, whei. asked for information is withheld, that it is only deferred till he is older aud belter prepared to reoeivo it. An swering a child's question is sowing the seeds of its future character. A Business Xotiee. The fearful effect of printing business notices and obituaries in the local column is thus shown by an exchange : "Away from the land of her birth and loved of her youth, she met the relentless^con queror, bowed her lovely head to his stroke. Other hands smoothed the long, brown tre&ses; otherfingers closed the blue eyes and folded the gentle bands upon the peaceful, sinless bosom." "Pure pork sausages?six pounds for one dollar, at Williams <fe Cook's, under Exchange." She Knows. We flatter ourselves?we boarded boys? Tbat we are deep, and can conceal All that we know, and do, and feel? Our business ton-owe and club bouse joys? From tbe innocent creatures who make our tea, Hut believe me, sir, tbey can pee Iiigbt through and through both you and me! Kb if your clove or cardamon seed Could bide your guilt in wine and weed I Ah ! foolieh mortal, do you suppose That only to 6tiiff the Bcent of a rose, And not the odor that's in your clothes, She's got that sweet little, pert little nose ? Your screen is only a pane of glass, Through which t?he seeB that you are?alao ! By no means the lion you think within, But a long-eared thing in a lion's skin. TT,U4T.T7E,n A Lecture on the Crimen of the Dny, and a HtrlUing AurIjmI* of Them. Rev. David O. Mears, of Cambridge, Mass., gave a lecture upon Vital Prob lems, the subject for the evening being 1 Legalized Robbery. There are two standards, ho said, in every Christian community by which the acts of each citizen are measured?the moral and the ; legal. The one is the expression of the Divine will, the other the expression of | the principle of the State or nation. The one is never altered to suit the in 1 clinations of the community ; the other varies with public opinion. Our civil 1 code has been written by imperfect, fal s lible men, and it by no means follows 1 Mmt Vipmmnu thfiSfi irrmprfpr?t. fnllihlp men are not condemned by the laws of their own making, therefore they are i without reproach. Inquiring into the validity of the legal standard, we notice first, the uncertainty of right and justice ! in framing the laws. Lobbyists crowd our legislatures, and votes are bought ! and sold and traded on the most impor tant questions. Second, we notice the uncertainty of the laws as to their exe \ cution. The same influences that work against right and justice in framing our | laws work against their execution. If , bribes are powerless in defeating the i expression of strict justice, they are , often powerful in defeating the execu tion of justice. We have laws against , gambling, yet under guard of the police , we may enter every gambling house in Boston. In the third place, we notice the uncertainty of the standard of law. What seems right in this generation may be overruled in the next; thus the legal standard as to the question of slavery has been reversed ; and on the ' greatest question of to-day, the suppres 1 sion of intemperance, the legal standards vary. From each of these points we are driven to the irresistible conclusion that it is morally wrong for us to rest satis ' fled in an appeal to the legal standard as gauging our conduct. Yet men almost 1 without exception act according to the : legal standard ; members of the same 1 church, sitting at Christ's table together, are never sure 01 a easiness transaction until the papers are passed; not ono man in a thousand, becoming prosper ous after once failing in business, ever pays the old debts which the law has canceled. The highwayman who plunders his victim is a robber. Another man, re spected in society, under cover of the law defrauds his neighbor of thousands, and because it is legally done, he holds his position as before ; the transaction is a legalized robbery. A moral wrong committed lawlessly or lawfully, is a moral wrong still. We live in an ago of great financial temptations. Wealth can build cities and whiten the ocean with the sails of commerce. It can erect palaces and bring to homes many a comfort and joy. It is a power, yet it cannot purchase contentment or love; cannot buy back the virtue once trampled in the dust; cannot bribe death or win heaven. It trmil/1 vinrr /tnnntAi foif.lilra r\r\ ftin novo. ment of heaven ; its mansions would look gross and mean beside those which 1 Christ has gone to prepare. Yet men in ' their haste to be rich stifle the convic- 1 tions of conscience by saying their trans actions are legal. We notice, first, fraud at home. We refer to the very common transaction of deediug property to the wife or children in time of approaching disaster. A man has 825,000, but borrows enough to give him 8100,000 for his purposes. He takes $15,000 ?and builds a house and deeds it to his wife, and this is a legal transaction. As a matter of fact, he is doing business to the extent of $85,000 on $10,000 capital, and as a matter of necessity, the odds are against him. What right has this business pretender ?what moral right, to the house he has built ? What moral right has he to hold . it from his creditors in case of his almost inevitable failure? Yet the law allows it. " Woo unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness and his cham bers by wrong; that useth his neigh bor's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work ; that saith, I will build me a wide house and large cham bers, and cutteth him out windows ; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. Shalt thou reign because thou closest thyself in cedar?" Secondly, the credit system. The tendency observable in the last fifteen years is alarming. Men borrow in order to carry on business, and if we are to trust the results, it is but a poor invest ment for the lender. Corporations ad: vance a part and borrow the rest, and eventually fail. Towns hold their meetings and vote to oonstruct a rail road or build a schoolhou6e, and borrow the money. Cities do the same. Church es vote to build houses of -worship, and do as every other organization, mortgage the building for the amount above what they h*ve raised. If the words of the sacred book are true, " The borrower is servant to the lender," we are in a state of bondage indeed. From such a bond age the doctrines of reputation and in flation have sprung up. Leaving out of account all persons fifteen years of age and under, every person in this country, male and female, above that limit would be compelled to pay over'8100 to liqui date the national debt. On the same basis $60 would be required from every person to liquidate our State debt. Add to these the debts of counties and towns and the amount would be appalling ; yet we go on carelessly adding burden to burden. The whole system is purely lorrol Knf if. />an anor^oltr V\n I either scriptural or moral. Following this, we notice the system of bankruptcy. It has few terrors for men of business. The bankrupt to be places his property mostly out of his hands legally, anil then takes up with the legal process ; and when his affairs aro settled he is congratulated upon the result. Corporations pay their dividends and double salaries, while the owner's certificate of stock is so much wasto paper. And what corporations do in dividuals do under cover of the law. A case just enterfid in Now York is in point: liabilities, ?143,000; assets, 8125 worth of wearing apparel, claimed to bo exempted under the law. One man can legally carry on business until his assets cover only five cents on every dollar of liabilities. Another can legal ly borrow thousands of dollars to-mor row and fail just after. In the sight of God a thief is a thief ; it matters not bow, it matters now whero or whom. Thou shalt not steal! Fourthly, speculation or stock gam bling. Speculation, robbery, despair, nrismi?tliese firo tlio sfcens on the down ward road. The mania reaches this side of Wall street. Respectable papers ad vertise the names of brokers whose advice cau clear ?1,200 upon every 8100 invested, subject to call upon the Stock Exchange. The terrible scenes of "Black Friday " did not break the fascination of the ten thousand dreamers of wealth; , nor did it put a stop to the spurious compauies, legally equipped but pure frauds. Tho number of men who, dur ing the last few years, have gained wealth on 'Chauge, approximating to their expectations, wo are told could be t counted on one's Augers. But the enor- c mity of tho evil leading to poverty can a hardly bo appreciated. The par value t of the sales at the New York Stock Ex change reaches considerably above twen ty-two thousand million dollars annually. Speculations which in former times -a swept over tho etreet liko a monsoon c now produce mere ripples. But all this is legal, and the vultures sometimes are u among the seemingly devout worshipers n Christ, that Christ who, twice ii lis lifetime, cleared His Father's housi Df the men of traffic as heartless as thei followers of to-day. Honest busines men need our heartiest sympathy sine they have to cope with the dishones who are shielded by the law. But what of the man who is in hast to be rich ? The crown he aspires for i of gold, and can be won only here. I must be left with the body. The race is born for two worlds; yet as he hurrie forward he gauges his acts by humai statues. He keeps the gains legally gol ten from those whom God will defend He hears the curses of those whom h has defrauded, but whose only appeal i to a God of eternal justice, and not t the tribunal of man. He hasteth t be rich, but poverty shall come upo him. What though he gain the crow and wear it for a few hours ? When h shall lay it one side and enter anothe existence, where shall be his hope "The love of money is the root of a! evil, which while some have covete after, they have erred from the fait and pierced themselves through wit many sorrows." We must come back to the old time We are to be judged by our motive! Fraud is a ein; neglect of the Divin law is a sin; and it is high time that th Christian church shall recognize thi fact. We need a firmer public sentimer which, being stronger than thelaw, sha keep back from destruction those wh unwittingly are tempted thither. A BRAYE ENGINEER. Gcorire Ellis Obeying Orders to Wreck h Locomotive?-A Night Ride Through Fc and ltnln to Bound Brook. It is late at night in the littlo dc-pot c East Millstone, on the Pennsylvani railroad, and the telegraph operator, a most the only occupant, is taking dii patches. Ulic&etty - click sings tn electrical instrument, and all the mei sages tell of excitement all along tb front at the Bound Brook crossing Both sides are face to face in hostil attitude. Clicketty-click still ticks the instrr ment, and it says that there are one hur dred Italians at the crossing, armed t the teeth with knives and revolvers, an that the road is thronged with Irishmer who carry stones and shillalahs. The there is another dispatch, and this call for instant action, for it says that th Bound Brook men are tearing up th rails, and that they have partially fixe the fri g in position. In a few horn they will be running their trains rigt across the track of Pennsylvania's roac unless something is done at one* " That something will be done, I ai thinking," said the operator, and ere h had hardly finished the sentence th olicking is he:ird again ; and the mil sage that it orings has the sharp an decisive ring of authority. The word are from the superintendent of the Peru sylvania company, and they are : "Send George Ellis at once with *336 and tell him to break down obstructor on the road, and drive his engine int the frog." George Ellis, stont, swarthy, an dark eyed and black boarded is pacin up and down the dusky room. His er gine is at the door. Outside the rain i falling drearily and the night is pitch dark. He is one of the oldest and moE trusted drivers on the road, and to hii has been assigned a desperate an peniuuo uiiueru*tt.iijg j uuu uo uwo xxv. flinch. He buttons liis smutty blous to his chin, steps upon the platform c the engine, and pulls the lever. Th steam goes hissing and whizzing throug the iron limbs, tho wheels begin t move, and then with a shriek the grea thirty ton monster springs forward snorting, into the darkness. The roa< is all clear thirteen miles to Hopewell md the locomotive thunders on, burn ing and flaming across tho Jersey plain md meadows. By the sido of Elli stands his fireman, Sam Granger, am Doth peer ahead upon tho uncertaii uath, dimly illumined by the headlight Everywhere is impenetrable darkness lave the gray vista ahead, over whicl lance spectral and bewildering shapes 3till the two men in tin flying monste look silently ahead, and still the engin siz upon the heated boiler and stand i] beads upon the panes of the windows Hie wet rails glisten in the light, an< seem long, gleaming serpents of stee ;hat curve and trail away into the dark But Ellis and Granger do not mind then jr the beating rain, for they are looking jut for breakers and for Italians arme< )o the teeth At length the speed is gradually re luced, for tho neighborhood of th< anemy is nearly reached, and there is i ight shining ahead. At the depot o ;lio little hamlet of Hopewell, not three }uarterd of a mile from the frog, Ellii jhecks the locomotive, for it is time t< je cautious and wakeful. A man run aing to him through the fog says, ex sitedly: "There are obstructions jus nelow, and the enemy are guarding th< switches." The man cets upon the en jine box and again tliey aro off into tb< ain and fog. Not so fast as before lowever, for there are men with clubi >n either side, and what they have don< *> the track can only be guessed at First, a glowing red light, tossing anc whirling in the air, is seen, and th< leadlight gleams upon the dark outlinei )f a man; but there is no stop to-nigh 'or the signal of warning, for it is in th< lands of foes as a ruse. Then anothe: igbt red and glowing gleams from th< ;rack. It is a silent command for ai nstant halt. Eut Ellis knows what il neans, and with a dash the engine ii lpon it, and the lantern is sent whirling n a thousand pieces in every direction, Slower and slower the engine runs, foi he obstructions are near. The engineei md firemen watch intently. Suddenly i glimmering and flickering that is nol ilio reflection upon the road, a dark wal. ises up as the light flashes down the ails, there is a crash, the noise ol jrackirg timbers, and then the air if ;ull of flying ties and rails. Old 33( losses them off her prow as though thej vere wheat straws, and onward rushei straight for the frog and the expectec jrash. In an instant almost another blacl pile grows out of tho road bed; the en ;ine is upon them; there is anothei jrackling of wood, and the hissing en jine, blowing phowers of flamo from hei stack, uprears in the air. There is t grinding noise, a horrid swaying, beams uid iron rails fall all around, and ther Ellis, throwing wide open the valves strives to pass tho sixty feet of interven ing space between the obstructions ant ;he frog, from which tho rails have beei removed. The engine strains and tugs sand and gravel and mud fly in showers ;he machine rolls ami pitches, and al &st, with a roar, plunges into a pit, ind falls upon the timbers of the :rog, plowiug deep into the prround she has reached her goal, and Ellis anc granger have obeyed their orders. Mr. George Ellis sat in the little depol it Somerset Junction, on the Delaware, mil laughed derisively at the though I ;hat any one should think that he liar" lone anything unusual. "Those fel owh, you know," said ho, "after thej aad piled up the first ties and rails at i listauce of 1G0 yards from the frog, con jtructed auother obstruction a few roil? )fif, and against this they placed iroi: rails bo tliat tue engine woum run vp 01 hem. These were crushed as we mount 3(1 them, and then things flew prettj ively, till we went into the pit. W< vere going about twenty-live miles nr lour, and as tin* prow went down tin ear went up, and the hind wheels wer< evolving about a million times a seconc "or a few minutes. Firo flew out tin imokestack, and one old farmer whc lad come down to see the fun, cried out I knew she'd burst!' aud he mado live y time over the hills home. ?Neu York Sun. She Told Him. A mother was telling some lady callerf lie other day about her intention tc celebrate an anniversary of some event, ind her plug-ugly of a boy came intc he room just then and asked : " Maw, what is an anniversary ?" "I'll tell you some timo,"she replied. " I know," ho wickedly replied; "you .re going to piok up the shovel and hase pa down cellar again 1" After the ladies had departed the Qother took the boy up stairs and re moved his false impressions. POWER OF DYNAMITE. Rcccnt Ciucm in the Pennsylvania Oil Region*?Men nnd Hornrs nn<l Vehicles anil Houhcii Instantly Blown to Atomn. The dynamite explosion at Bremer haven lias interested the public in this powerful explosive. In the oil country nitro-glycerine is used daily either in fuse form or adulterated, and known as dynamite. It is confined in tin cases, lowered into oil wells, and there ex ploded ; the explosion opening the crevices of the rock, and causing the oil to flow more freely. In handling it daily men become familiar and careless, and consequently terrible accidents are frequent. Tut power of this explosive is tremendous. A single drop placed on an anvil and struck with a hammer, is sufficient to hurl the hammer through the roo: or crack the anvil. The first explosion of nitro-glycerine in the oil region, which proved fatal to life, was in the infancy of the business. A tenmster was carrying several cans of the article on his wagon from Titusville to a small village. The road was rough and stony, and he had been told to drive with caution, as a slight concussion will explode the stuff. Soon after his depar ture an explosion shook the ground. At the distance of half a mile the horses were found. One had been killed, but the other was uninjured. The wagon was in splinters, and the iron was twisted and broken. After a diligent search the thumb and forefinger of the man were fvund hanging to the limb of a tree some distance in the woods. Sev eral hours' work discovered other parts of the body, but all the remains collected of the unlucky teamster did not fill a cigar box. In 1872 a family living on Dennis Run, near Tidioute, was destroyed by the explosion of a torpedo containing dynamite. The family consisted of a man and wife and child. The man was a moonlight torpedoist, or one who puts torpedoes into a well for which he has no patent. For doing this he was liable to arrest and imprisonment. From the circumstances it was inferred that he was holding the torpedo between his legs, and that while he was in the act of at taching the head it exploded. His shoulders and head were thrown several hundred feet in the air. The lower portions of his body and his extremities were scattered in every direction. His wife was killed instantly, but her body was not mutilated. The house in which they resided was demolished. In the center of this destruction lay a little baby alivo, her only injury being a slight flesh wound. In 1874 a teamster, who was driving a load of nitro-glycerine from Porker to Petrolia, was killed by the explosion. A portion of his face was found in the top of a tall pine-tree, one hundred feet from the plac,e of the accident. The remainder of the body was wholly de stroyed. Some months ago an old man who owned a well, and was unused to hand ling torpedoes, put one of them down to the depth of 1,500 feet, and was un able to explode it. Ho then letdown an other, and for some reason this also failed to explode. The old man became very angry, and ran down a set of drilling tools, weighing several thousand pounds, 4-fx-rk r\( f hrx f/vrrvorlnoa T'liA r*>RTl1f, \Jll W'M VI UUU ?Wi ^/VUVUUI ?IMW was told by himself as follows : " I hadn't no moro than got out about fifteen hundred feet out of range before I felt the earth shake, and those tools shot up out of the hole, and the old well spouted oil and water like all possessed. I thought that I tapped the crust of* the infernal regions and released the fires from below." How Fishermen Cook Fish. A correspondent who visited the fish eries of the North says: It was night fall. The men had just returned from settiDg their nets and were busily pre paring supper. In some of the cabins were ancient and rude fireplaces of stone, and from them the fires gleamed , warm and cheerful. Ureat pots of coffee !i were steaming, and generous slices of i. salt pork and the daintiest parts of the r dainty whitefish were sputtering in the e frvingpans. Two or three fires were 1 burning on the beach, for some of the i men have a notion that an open fire is i. better to cook by than is the stove, and I then, too, it affords an opportunity to 1 prepare tho fish in the most popular . manner among them, that is baking it on l a board. The fish are prepared aud sea j >-oned, pinned to a board by wooden I pegs, and then board and all aro propped up close to the fire. The fish is very quickly baked brown, and by this method 3 it retaius all its flavor. Another popu i lar, but lazy, method is to cover the fish f with clay two inches thick, and throw it into tho hottest of tho Are. The clay 3 hardens almost instantly, and the fish in ) its tough oven bakes through and through, retaining also its juices. The -1 clay ii3 then poked out of the fire, cooled II with a dash of water, and a sharp stroke with a sti 3k separates it from the fish. The fish's skin peels off with the clay, and the dish is ready. Plain bread and potatoes constitute the rest of the meal. There are no women in the colony; the men are their own housekeepers. After snpper the pipes are produced, and the fishermen, gathering in the largest cabins, devoto the eveniDg to hilarity and mirth, spinning yarns, playing cards, > dancing jubas, and smoking. Every few minutes fishermen stride to the door to get points on the weather probabili ties for tho following day, and every variation in the wind, stir in the clouds, or twinkle of the stars is gravely an nounced to the merry makers within. Everybody assured the visitor that . " 'twas goin' to blow from the nor'west r right steady termorror," and that he mignc as wen muse up ms rniuu to siuy ashore all (lay, there would be no gotting out. The Cubau Question. President Grant replied to the HoUBe resolution, asking for the correspondence during the past year with any European governments besides Spain in relation to Cuban intervention, by transmitting a report from the Secretary of State. The secretary says: No correspondence has taken place during the past year with any European government other than Spain in regard to the island of Cuba. Instruction No. 266, dated Nov. 5 ;nst, addressed to?Mr. Cushiug, the minister of the United States at Madrid, and which was laid before the Houf-o of Representatives, in answer to the resolution of that honora UI? uuuy, y\ua uxuiij i/uuimumuucu several European governments by rea I ing the same, or by a statement of the purport thereof by the representative of the Uuited States to the ministers of fortigii affairs of those goveruments, pursuant to instructions from this de partment, which instructions accompany the report heretofore made, and were in like manner communicated to the House of Representatives. No correspondence, however, has taken placo upon tho sub ject with theso governments. The Colony of Liberia. Since the last annual report of the American colonization society, the re port just issued says, there have been sent to Liberia twenty-three immigrants. I Tho annual expedition had been dis ! patched by the bark Liberia from New ' York," January 13, 1876, containing, ! among others, two licensed ministers of the Methodist Episcopal church, who expected to enter the Liberian annual conft-rence. For tho last fifty-live years immigration to Liberia had been unin terrupted. Those now reported make 3,110, and a total number from the be ginning of 15,098, exclusivo of 5,725 re captured Africans whom tliey have in duced and enabled the government of the United States to settle in Liberia, making a grand total of 20,823 persona to whom the society had given homes in Africa. Several thousand persons are at the present timo earnestly soliciting passage, and other thousauds might be colonized during the current year sh. ml J means bo provided for the purpose. "What do you mean, you little ras cal?" exclaimed an individual to an im pudent youth that had seized him by the nose upon the street. " Oh, noth ing, only I am going out to seek my fortune, and father told me to seize hold of the first thing that' turned up.'" A Theatrical Incident. Some .years ago the manager of a well regulated theater somewhere along the line of the Erie canal engaged a young lady as a supernumerary. It so happen ed that the young lady had formerly officiated in some capacity as a " hand' on board a canalboat, a fact which she was anxious to conceal. She evinced much anxiety to master the details of her newly chosen profession, and ex hibited more than ordinary comic talent. She was duly promoted, and in time became a general favorite with both manager and public. One night, when she was to appear in a favorite part, a couple of boatmen found their way into the pit near the footlights, anxious to see the famous comwlienne. The house was crowded, and after the subsidence of the general applause which greeted ner appearance, one 01 the boatmen slapped his companion on the shoulder and exclaimed, loud enough to bo heard over half the bouse : " Bill, I know that gal!" " Pshaw?" said Bill; " shut up." "But I'm sure I do, Bill. It's Sal Flukins, as sure as you're born. She's old Flukins' daughter, tbat used to run the Injured Polly, and she used to sail with him." "Tom," said Bill, "you're a fool; and if you don't stop your infernal clack you'll get put out. Sal Flukins I You must know a sight if you think that's her." Tom was silenced, but not convinced. He watched the actress in all her mo tions with intense interest, and ere long he broke out ng;tiu : "I tell yr, Bill, that's her; I know 'tie. You can't fool me?I know her too well. You just wait; I'll fix her. Keep your eye on me." ^ Sure enough he did fix her. Watch ing his opportunity when the actress was deeply absorbed in her part, he sang out in a voice which rang through the galleries : "Low bridge !" From the force of habit the actress in stantly and involuntarily ducked her head to avoid the anticipated collision. Down came the house with a perfect thunder of applause at the "palpable hit," high above which Tom'a voico could be heard: " Didn't I tellyo, old boy, 'twas her? You couldn't fool me." Kills His Playmate. A little boy eight years of age, son of Major James Brady, of Harrisburg, Pa., was shot and fatally wounded in Lancas ter by a little playmate and friend, only six years of age, whom he was visiting, and who is a sou of Mr. James Stewart, of Lancaster. The Examiner thus de tails the circumstances: Mr. Stewart has a little boy, Joseph by name, who is but six years of age. Between him and Master Brady a warm attachment exist ed, and in response to an invitation, the Brady boy came from Harrisburg, in company with a sister, to enjoy a brief visit in Lancaster, stopping at the house of Mr. Stewart. A few days ago Charles \ 1. i. 1 otewari, an eiuer boh, urougut iiome from his office a largo revolver, and he placed it, still loaded, in a drawer under some linen. By some means Master Josie ascertained the whereabouts of the weapon, and he managed to get it in his possession. He then ran up stairs to call his little companion down to break fast. As he entered Master Brady's room ho began to snap the revolver in childish glee, and in another moment a loud report rang through the house and a bullet was sent into Brady's brain. Ho fell forward on the floor, and when the members of the family, who were at breakfast, ran up stairs, they found the Stewart boy trying to lift up his dying companion. The injured lad was a bright, intelligent and interesting little fellow. Crooked Whisky. A Washington letter says that the value of the property seized and libeled in the several collection districts of the United States since May 10, 1875, in consequenco of frauds on the revenue imposed on distilled spirits, is $1,252, 932, and the amount assessed upon the prcperty and bonds of guilty parties is 8927,975. Tins last named amount -was assessed as follows : Illinois, $?27,270, Indiana, 884,640; Missouri, $284,814*, Wisconsin, $176,975. The number of persons indicted for defrauding the revenue in the same period is 135, which is classified thus : Distillers, twenty-nine ; rectifiers, forty-one; government offi cers, fifty ; other persons, fifteen. The seizures made at Chicago are not in cluded in the above statements. These last seizures, it is expected, will result iu the confiscation to the government of about $500,000 worth of property and tue assessment 01 an aacutionax jjouu, 000. About fifteen persons will bo im plicated. Well Mannered. Japanese women are charming in manner, and would be in appearance, were it not for their ungainly forms, which are ruined by a clumsy mode of dress, and, amDng the poorer classes, the practice of carrying burdens upon the back. When a Japanese girl reaches the age of sixteen without having under gone either of the processes of deformify she is a wonder to the eye, and remains so until twenty-five, or possibly a little later. Then sho ceases to charm for a certain period, in any way excepting in her manner, and that is generally pre served to the last. But as she grows old she has a chance of becoming quite delightful again. There is nothing nicer than a dignified and white haired old Japanese lady. She is always happy, for she is always much respected and cherished by her young* rs, aud at a cer tain age the natural high breeding of the race appears in her to attain its crystalization. Not to be Sold. Tho Pall Mall Oazctie, of London, has a spcaial telegram from Copenhagen as follows: I am authorized to contra diet tbo report of tho proposed sale of the island of St. Thomas, in the West Indiesi to Germany. Tho idea was moot ed in 1873 of exchanging St. Thomas for North Schleswig, but was dismissed as impracticable.

His pamphlets and larger works have been nceived as useful contributions to medical knowledge. He has recently added another, and perhaps more im portant work, because of more j,eneral applica tion, to the list of his published writings. This book, entitled " The People's Common Scnee Medical Adviser," is designed to enter into general circulation. Dr. Pierce has received acknowledgments and honors from rnai y sources, and especially scientific digrees from two of the first medical institutions in the land. ? Misscntri (St. LouU) Republican.
