Cost of Wbent In New York. My neighbor is one of the best farm-1 era, says a correspondent of tho Itural; 'Home, and has one of the best wheat i T -wfefl in New York. On his field, oppo-1 life our place, he has put in wheat, with -th? following labor and estimated expense: Piowicg with three horses, say eight acres 820.00 Dragging five times, three horses 22 50 Caltivated twice, throe horses 15.00 Boiling twice, part three times, two horses 10.00 Drilling, two hoiaos 4.50 tfaed 19.20 Mannre and drawing eamo 80.00 Value of clover plowed under 20.00 Coat of 6f e.ling down again 10.00 Cost of thrashing crop of wheat 15 00 Coat of marketing crop of wheat 6.00 Interest on eight acres, at 810.50 per acre 84.00 Taxes 5.00 $201.20 Thirty bushels per acre is all that can be expeotei, which, it 91.20, amount* to $288.00 Leaving as profit 20.80 But in case the wheat yields only twenty-Gv? bushel? por acre, there is a loss of 821.20. If the wheat crop re' 1 quires all this expensive nursing, in order to get a fair yield of grain that win Dot at bsst make the choicest grade " v of flour, it would seem to be doubtful -^" tether it will pay, especially at the present prices. How long would it take ; to pay for a farm .'.t the rate of profit above shown ? We hould also consider that wheat is an exhausting crop, drawing heavily on the rich deposits of our fertile lands. I think we shall have to give way to California, for the present, ! ?)T growing this old favorite of the Empire State. / ItleUlcnl Notes. j Inflamed Gums.?A drop or two of camphorated spirit rubbed on the gums will allay inflammation. Hair Falling Off.?The following well tried reoipc is highly recommended: Glycerine and tincture of capsicum each two ouncos, oil of bergamot one drachm ; mixture and perfume to suit. This is to be the only dressing for the hair. Wash the hair occasionally with soft water and fine soap. A Good Dentifrice.?Dissolve two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water ; before quite cold, add one tablespoonful of tincture of myrrh, and one tablespoonful of spirits of camphor. Bottle the mixture for use. Add one wineglassful of the solution to half a pint ol water ana use it auuy. j.i preserves and beautifies the teeth, and arrests decay. Chilblain's.?These painful inflammatory swellings generally attack the toes, heels and lingers, and are attended with an intolerable degree 'ol itching. In common cases, tho following treatment should be pursued : As soon as any part becomes affected, rub it with spirits of rosemary, or aromatic camphorated cream ; afterward apply pieces of soft linen, moistened with camphorated spirits, soap liniment, camphor liniment, etc. When the swellings break or ulcerate, apply poultices and emollient ointment for a few days. Equal quantities of sweet oil, lime water, and proof spirits form an excellent application for chilblains. Outdoor Wlntcrlnc of Bees. Strong stocks, plenty of honey, and good queens are essential for suoeessfnl outdoor wintering of bees.

There should bo at least thirty pounds to eaeh stock that is to be wintered outside, and twenty pounds for indoor wintering. If on exami aing a deficiency is found, supply it by feeding honey, or white ftaga"r nyrnp, or by giving them crumbs full of scale* honey. A shallow pan placed in the top or cup of the hive will furnish tho feeder. The food cau bo put iu after sunset?a pound or two at one tirar; if it is of a nature to drown tho hee3, scatter cut straw over tho surface. Be certain, also, that every hive is in possession of a good queen, not past her third season. Those conditions fulfilled, place between the hive and the Rtand a box three or four inches deep; this will give the required air space and prevent the freezing up of the entrance. Next pack well the top and siues of the hive with some dry, absorbing material, such as Btraw or chaff, for instance. Stooks prepared in this manner will be found in good condition for the next season's work. Feetllchlns .IIIOwi.

"jMau's faithful frieml; always devoted to liis master; always vigilant iu hia protection; untiling in his eiiorts to pieaso ; docile under discipline, forgiving in bis disposition, kind and faithful, man does not half appreciate j him nor understand him. I have bought j a dog, one tha^ will in his infantile days j be a sourco of unceasing mirth to us all by his innocent gambols, and, as ago develops his sterner qualities, will be a faithful, vigilant guardian of our sleeping hours. Let us love him and deal with him gently and tenderly, and his very life will bo devoted to our service. Come, Herzegovina, come ; come iu and get acquainted with your friends." He tiod him to the back fence with a ! m'pfie of the clothesline, and sought his ! downy couch. He had been in bod ! about ten minutes when a howl of most I unearthly import smoto the air, dying i away in a prolonged, shuddering gurgle that lifted every hair on Mr. Sommerbeck's head, and emptied all the shrieking, fainting women in the house into his room in one wailing, hysterical torrent. Again and again the howl came swelling up through the closed windows, as though it wailed out of the very walls of tho house, then ono would come a series of choking, gurgling gasps and asthmatic groans that were too full of horror to listen to without plirieking. Ee dressed and took the lantern and revolver and weut out. Guided by the terrible sounds he came to where he bad tied the dog. No dog was visible, but the rope that was stretched tight across the top of the fence showed where he was. The docile auimal had jumped over the fence and tho ropo was just long enough to let his hind legs touch the grouud. As long as ho could stand, the dog could howl till he hushed the railroad whistles, and when his weakening legs buckled and let him down, the ropo tightened and shut off his wind in a'series of chokes and gasps and gurgles | mat were too awiui to tnmK aoour. | Mr. Sommerbeck climbed painfully over j the fence and tried to lift the dog back into the yard, and as he pushed the howling auimal over the fence, it pawed the top of his bald head until it looked like a map of the Servian war. Mr. Sommcrbcck wished the faithful dog at the Centennial. Then it crawled its hind legs down the ncck of his night shirt, and braced its fore paws against the fence and pushed back, and walked j all over Mr. Sommerbeck's upturned j face, howling all the time. Finally Mr. Sommerbeck pushed him over and heard | him drop with a heavy thump on the j ground. Then lie tried to climb over j himself. It was a slow, painful task, j for Mr. Sommerbeck is not a light j weight, nor is ho so young as he once | was. At last he got one leg over the top of the feDce after many grunts, and | with a great groan of tatisfaction bol- j anced himself on top. ilis sudden ap-; pearanco seemed to fill the d:>g with j terror, and in a flash, jnst as Mr. Sommerbeck dropped on the inside of the fence, the faithful dog went ap like a rocket and shot out of sight on the i other, and recommenced his hideous howls aud gasps. Mr. Sommerbeck felt ! as thoughhe couldn't groan deep enough j' nor fast enough as he prepared to scale i the dreadful fence. It was discouraging |! work, but be got to the top at last, j lost his balance and went down on the other side like a land slide, failing plump on the faithful dog and killing it so quick that the doomed animal never whined a protest. Mr. Sommerbeck limped slowly down the alley and up the street to the front gate. He got in the house and went to bed, and iu response to the anxious inquiries of the women 1 as to wbat was the matter, he merely told them to pull on the clothesline in ! the morning and they would find out. 1 "What a Noted Judge Says. i A reporter interviewed Chief Justice Church, of the supremo court of Now ; York, on the great question of the day. "I have always apprehended," said ; 1 Judge C., "that the greatest source of j ( danger to the peacoof the country would j , some time provo to bo this very one? ; j the counting of the Presidential vote j j after a close canvass. The danger stems j I to inhere in tho machinery of the pres- ! ent electoral system." "Is there a better way to elect the i ( President ? Have you any sympathy | with the notion of a popular vote ?" j; "Not the least." "Why?" "It would bo contrary to the genius, j! the etructuro of our institutions. It | would tend to obliterate State outlines, j to eraso the rights of the minority, to i! concentiale and consolidate the govern- j ment. These are things wo ought ever ! to avoid." "How about an electoral district svstem?a system dividing each State into J electoral districts similar to Congres- j eional districts, and letting the peoplo i of every district vote for their own sep arata Presidential elector?" "That would have a similar effect?to i obscure Stato divisions, to dwarf States, j: to prevent them from acting as unite. ; I fihould oppose anything -which had a j, tondency to'detract from the dignity of | the several States and thns to magnify ' the influence upon States of the general government, whose sufficient functions i are defined in the Constitution.

His Conscience. In one of tho largest and most thriv-! ing towns of Ohio a well known hotel j keeper and politician was appointed collector of internal revenue. One morning he found on liis desk a letter addressed to him officially, without postmark, containing a five-hundred-dollar greenback, to which was pinned a email pieoe of paper with "Conscience money " written thereon. Quietly folding up the greenbaok and putting it in his pocket book, he remarked: "I always I did suspect that barkeeper pf mine." n mrvm bbmmbmwmhmwmmmw How a Fortune was Made. In 1823, Talma, having only appeared in tragedy sinco 179G, consented to give his support to Mllo. Mars in one of Caesimir Delavigne's comedies. The announcement created a wonderful sensation? tho best actor and the best actress in France to appear together. One morning, about a week previous to tho announced appearance, while Mile. Mara was in her private apartments, a manufacturer of Lyons asked for an audience. On entering, ho spread out before tho actress a shimmering fold of costly yollow velvet. " Will yon deign to accept this, and mako my fortune?" said the visitor. Explanations followed. and it was understood to bo' purely a business afTair. Tho sagacious manufacturer knew very Arell that the snperb womau before him set the fashion in female dress before all Paris. Yellow velvet was his specialty, but nobody wore it; and yet ho was assured that it would be all the rage if once seon upon the queen of the stage. Mile. Mars did not know. The color was very trying; she had dresses enough; but, at length, the pltading of the manufacturer overcame her scruples, and, in the kindness of her heart, she took the velvet and handed it to her dressmaker, with instrnctions for the making up. The eventful evening arrived, and Mile. Mars was arrayed in her robes of yellow velvet. On boholding tho reflection of herself in her dressing-room mirror, her heart gave way. " It is too ridiculous I" she cried, almost shedding tears of vexation. "I look liko an awiully exaggerated canary bird. Really, I cannot appear. Tell the manager be must postpone the play, or, at least, wait for me." Talma heard the word, and hurried from his dressing room. "Is that all?" he said, when he had surveyed the queen and hoard her story. "Upon my word, you never looked better in your life. Tho effect is superb. I am charmed with it." And the ulav went on. In less than two , weeks thereafter the salons ol Paris were literally golden with yellow velvet. A lady could not bo in the fashion in anything else. Years afterward the wealthiest manufacturer of Lyons gave a grand fcfe in honor of Mile. Mars, entertaining her sumptuously. The festival was held in a spacious and superb country house on tho banks of the Saone, and tho fortune upon which the estato had been reared had grown up from yellow velvet. Butclicring Women. Among the incidents of the Dutch | war against the South Africans aro the j following. A party of Schlikmann's j force weut out from Steel Poort to scour tho surrounding mountains, twentythree men with a cannon went on one side, and twenty five men on horseback went on another. The men with the cannon destroyed a large_number of huts belonging to various .Kaffirs residing among the kloofs and hollows of the mountains, but they came upon no Kaffirs. The party of horse on their way to a kraal or a Kaffir village met some women who had been out to gather food. The first one, a yoxang woman, j was wounded by one of the band. She was then shot through the head as she [ay on the ground by nnother of the party. Both men were Englishmen. Several more women wero killed in the J kraal. They wero questioned as to I where tho cattle of the kraal were, and I were promised that their lives would be spared on conditiou that they told. They gave the information, but the cattle were not overtaken. The two women were then taken back with the volunteers to Steel Poort, and a council of war held as to what should be done ' with them. It was decided, or at least i pretended to be so, that they should bo I ?et at liberty. They wero then sent out' tinder the escort of two Kaffirs belong-1 iug to Schlickmaun's force. When they I arrived at the river one of tho chiefs 011 vnlnnfpflrs is Rniil to have told the ! Kaffirs : "Now you are to kill tbese j women, and to know that they are dead ! [ must hear tbe shots." Tlio women ! waro accordingly followed. One of j them put her hands together, and be-1 sought the Kaffirs, whoso intentions she ; ippcars to have divined, not to shoot j tier. She hud au infant on her back. Ibo man lired the gun, tho ball took! rffect in tho child's head, and paf-sed j through the woman's shoulder. The j ?ther woman was shot by the other KuHir through the back. The Kaffirs then stabbed their victims, and returned and showed the biood upon their assegais. Thero was a great outcry among the more decent men of tho volunteers, but no 8tep3 were taken to prevent such atrocities. The leader of tho volunteers is alleged to bo more anxious to kill tho women than the meD, because, he says, they pick and sow, and thus are the chief instruments in prolonging the war. For the Conrt to Decide. Somewhere about a score of years ago, while Neal Dow's law was in full force, an incident transpired in the court held in Paris, Me., worth recording. Judge A. was on me Dsncn. jae whs ? gemui, jolly soul in society, bnt inclined to be a Little testy sometiroca in judicial haraess. The case on trial was the State vs. a liotelkeeper, and the complaint -was sale of liquor. One of the principal witnesses was siDgulady obtuse. He did not like to lie, nor did he seem anx ious to tell the whole truth. He confessed to having made a purchase, but he could not tell what he purchased nor could he remember what he had asked for. At length the county attorney asked him: "Did you drink any of it?" " Not thar." " Well, did you drink it anywhere ?" " I must a' done it." "How did it taste?" "I couldn't eay." "Yes, you can say. Certainly you can tell me how it tasted." At this noint the court interposed. The question was deeined trifling and out of place. "Why do yoy press it," tho judge demanded. "Well, your honor,"replied the attorney, ' * it is very evident that tho witness bought liquor of the defendant, ind wo want to know what description of liquor it was. As tho witness refuses to tell me what it was, I thought if he would only tell how it tasted the court inishtbe ablo to determine for itself." Tho audible smile that followed, inside and outside the bar, told that the hit was understood and appreciated. Business Precepts. We find it stated that the founder of the great banking house of Rothschilds nhulo tho following rules the guide of a business career culminating in magnificent success: 1. Combination of three profits. " I made tho manufacturer my customer, and tho one I bought of, my customer; luui is, i- supplied iuo mimuuiuLurer [ with raw materials and dyes, on each of j which I made a profit, and took his | manufactured goods, which I sold at a ! profit,and thus combiuod tbreo profits." 2. Make a bargain at once. Bo an off handed man. 3. Never have anything to do with an unlucky man or place. " I have seen many clever men who lmvo not shoes to their feet. I never act with them. Their advice seems very well, but fate is against them; they cannot get on themselves, how can they do good to me?" i 4. Be cautious and bold. " It re-j quires a groat deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune, and when ycu have got it it requires ten times as much to keep it." Ill* Son. An anxious parent residing in the country, who was somewhat doubtful of his Eon's prosperity in the city, wrote, inquiring how much money he was saving, and received a reply that the young man cleared over all expenses 82.65 per day. Being still in doubt, the father wrote for particulars as to how he did it. Tke youth replied that he hung around all saloons watching for " treats," and in this way got 100drinks a day, wortb, at ten cents a drink, 810. He had no expense for lodgings, as the police invariably arrested him, and the next morning the court fined him $7.85, which, subtracted from 010, left just 82,05.

He says that ono of tho electors voted for hold an office of trust, boing a postmaster, and was ineligible, and his eleotion was protested against.

Little children wear long gored sacks or ooats reaohicg to the bottom of the dress ; those of matelRsse have cordings of silk as a finish, with Cluny or Maltese lace around the collar, cuffs aad broad square pockets. Dressy cloaks for children are made of light colored maltelasse, and every day walking coats of some of the fashionable cloths used for ladies' cloaks. The most useful garment for a little boy or girl from three to five yeors old is of cloth, light gray, blue or brown, made into o long, prinoesse-shaped garment, fcho seams of which may be corded with silk or left plain. A large flat bow of ribbon without ends is set on at the back near the edge of the shirt; flat bows decorate the large square pockets. Light gray cloth trimmed with blaofc is very popular. Older children wear long ooats edged with fur; the coats buttoned from the neck to the edge of the dress, and the fur is set on to simulate a cutaway coat. Wide flat braids are used whero fur is not desired ; and some prefer having the kilted skirt backs which were worn last year. A turban hat, with soft velvet crown and an edge of fur, is worn with this style of costume.

These and turbans are trimmed with cock's feathers or pheasant feathers. Dressy costumes for children are made of silk, with woolen damask overdresses of the lightest shades, and the trimmings are of bands of silk set above some of the dressy white laces so much employed for trimming. The overdresses are looped back, or made to imitate polonaises, and are then confined below the waist with broad silk Bashes, which are tied in largo square bows at the back, without ends. English blouses of Thibet cloth or of plaid goods are also much worn, with kilt plaits at the back below the waist. He Had Been to the Centennial. A bashful appearing man stepped into the editorial room the other evening, and edging up to the table of the managing editor, hat in hand, said, in a hesitating way : " You like little items for your paper, I suppose ?" "Certainly," replied the editor; "a newspaper, liko life, is made up of little items. What have you to offer ?" " Well," said the bashful man, playing with his hat band, "my name is Smith, John Smith, and I've just got Lome." " Glad to see you back again, Mr. Smith; been gone long?" "I've been," said Mr. Smith, with a tremor of pride in his voice, " to the Centennial, and if you want to make a little notice"? " What!" cried the editor, springing to his feet, " you've been to the Centen- , nial ? And you've got back ? Give us 1 your hand; I'm delighted to see you. ] Spear, let me introduce you to John Smith. John has been to the Centennial." Spear shook hands very warmly with Mr. Smith, and then ran to the aperture j communicating with the reporters' room 1 below and shouted: " O'Shaunneseey, : come in here, quick, here's a man that's i been to the Centennial 1" Then O'Shaunnessey bounced in, fol- i lowed by his assistants, all of whom embraced the bowildered Smith warmly, and expressed gratification it afforded i them to meet a man who had been to 1 the gvaat national Exhibition.

It was too j much for the modest man to bear, and j murmuring something about making an item of his return if they wanted to, he hurried out just in time to meet on the i stairs the foreman and thirty-two com- ' positors, all eager to get a glimpse of the man who had "been to the Oenten- i nial." A Mysterious Horseman. i A letter to the London Times has the following: Turkish accounts say that the Servians ran away in large numbers during the engagement of the twentyeighth of September. This is denied by the Russo-Servian officers. It is admitted, however, that there was considerable unsteadiness on the part of one or two battalions, and a staff officer has given me his explanation of it. Of course, he has spoken in good faith, but only from what he heard.

Ho cried: "Retire at once, or you are cut to pieces; the Tarks are on your flank I" Having given this order, which the battalion, or some portion of it, felt bound to obey, tho officer on the white horse galloped away. Tho battalion was too much engaged in a Bimiiar movement on foot to observe what direction he took. When a search was made for him after the engagement, ho was nowhere to bo found. His body was not among those of the sixty officers of the Basso-Servian army I who fell that day, nor was ho in the j flesh among the survivors who answered j to tho roll call, nor was any officer miss- : ing who could not be accounted for. j Stranger still, it was ascertained that no i offioer of tho Russo-Servian army had ! ridden a whito horse that day.
