Ths Messenger Bee.
A bee flew in at mv window,
And eo. n flew ont again.
I tai l, as I pined in the shadow,
" He visits no house of pain."
A bee without hive or honey,
Of the fields, a citizen free,
De-d leaves, or a flower-strewn pathway,
Came with a lesson to me.
My tbonghts flew ont of tho window,
Following far away
A we<> in the a r that was woven
Of in\isib!e threads of gray.
Till we came to fami iar pastures.
Whore clover ;.nd buttercups spread,
Dcg-rws< s, the bel -wort, strawberries:
How long had ray jouth been dead?
I recognized there my childhood,
As soul ess as this wild bee,
When into the worid I ? andered.
Holding youth, my all, in fee.
Now youth and its visions have vanished,
There comes this wandering bee,
So soulless he knows not who sent him
To return a s ul to me!
Farmhouse Notes.
Grapes.?It always has been the case
in wet and cold years that the ripening
of the grapes has been backward on
acco int of the consequent diminution in
the total amount of the established quantity
of beat necessary for an early and
prolific maturity. The grapes under
6ueh circumst inc* s contain less sugar
and more free acids together with a
grater quantity of water.
Jumping Cattle ?A man who had
been troubled with jumping cattle, and
who ha I tried every plan imaginable,
with the worst cases of jumping cattle,
fonnd nothing would succeed iu keeping
them in their place, but to put a board
over their fice. Take au inch board,
about fouiteeD or fifteen inches square,
or large enough to cover their eyes, and
let it come down within four inches ot
the end of the nose; tie this to their
horns, by boring two holes to correspond
with the width of the horns, and
they will not jump.
Items.?"An old man over 80, who
don't kuow anything but work," asks an
exchange to print the following preset ip
tious : For a stifled horse, rub a tea
sportful of turpentine Dight and morn
ing. half way up the crease by the Tail
on the lame side. Keep using the horse
as u^nal and iu tnr?'e or four days a cure
will be effected. For scratches or grease
heel, wtt the part frequuntly with water |
on which bl ?e vitri"! has been dissolved j
- as to vmut in unea", sow old seed and
you will not be tioubied. These tilings
I tried for 50 years, and never had a
failure."
Hens.?W. H. White describes in the
following paragraph bis su"Cessful treatment
01 ht-ns tortured with roup in its
worst form: I took them and made com
meal and red pepper into pills as large
as I could well put in their mouth ami
forced down by rubbing on the throat,
after shutting the month and holding;
g ive three or four at a do?e. The proportion
of pepper was sufficient to giv<
quite a tinge to the meal, all wet up
with hot water, lhe diseased fowls
were shut up in a dry, comfortable coop
in the barn, where in a few days tli y
r> c -vered. I f?d them corn meal dough
with red pepper Muring the time they
were shut up. In some cases I found it
necessary to rep- at the strong doses, but
taken in its early stage, one good large
dose was sufficient to efleet a cure, when
soft food with a little pepper was given
at er, and ihe fowls kept contined iu
dry, comfortable quarters.
Black Silks ?A change is taking
place in black silks. They show a tendency
toward smoother surfaces, have
more natural lustre, and are neither blueblack
nor brown-black, but are of deep
jetty hue. Low priced silks especially
show smaller grain, because they are i ow
free from the heavy dye formerly used to
give them a meretricious lustre and
1 ^ T _ a. *
weigin. instances are Known where hy
means of this dye 16 ounces of this silk
were raised to 40 ounces, anil silks sold
for 82 or S3 a yard were as heavily repped
as those costing $4 or 86. Buyers ot
silks at S2 or 82.50 a yard are advised to
abandon the idea of getting weighty corded
silks, and to choose instead softer silks
with small reps, and nearly the lustre
tha is natural to pure silk. These do not
cnt or crease, and their smooth surfaces
endure friction far better then do those
with pr jecfing cords, Lyons silk at $3 a
yard i9 the popular choice for street suits,
and the same silk of a higher grade, sold
for 84, is as rich and heavy as any lad}
need care to wear. There w ill be a renewed
effort to bring black silk into (lis
lavor this winter, and owing to the variety
ot rich dark colors imported, it may not
be as universally worn as at present; but
when a lady w ants the finest fabric that
can be bought, and finds hat to be black
silk, she will not hesitate to buy it.
Quantities of jet ornaments, emhroiderv,
velvet, and lace are the trimmings with
which black will he enlivened. Ladies
wh? are renovating the black dres-es of
last seison, whether of silk, cashmere, or
alpaca, are advised that they can clean
them beautifully with borax and tepid i
water. The proportions are a tea-spoonful
of borax to a quart of water. Apply
with a woolen rag or a nail' brush.?Neic

Wedding Dresses.?Rich white brocades,
such as deligli ed the stately dames
of past generations, says a fashion journal.
are offered f?>r bridal dresses. A sentiment
is folded in the flowers with which
the*e are strewn?the wreath9 of orange
blossoms and spiraea, boqnets of clematis,
and virgin rose-buds; but this is a practi- j
cal age, and although the dress to be
chosen is a wedding dre-s, there arises
the usual suggestion about brocades, viz..
they are only a transient fashion, are
conspicuous when out of fashion, they do
not turn, and will not dye! Hence brides
expectant prefer the s-'fr creamy faille of
last season with its rich grain and tine
lustre. As bridal trains are shortened, j
fifteen yards is the quantity required, [
instead of eighteen or twenty. A basqm,
apron front, and demi-train almost covered
with tulle pleatings is a design to he
used w lien the wedding season sets in.
The polonaise and the basque with an
over-skirt will also be used: hut overk
skirts are not in favor for wedding drts> &.

American Institu'e Pair.
Tn view of the importance of encouraging
efforts tending to tiie production of (
superior American leather, Jackson S.
Schutz offers g< M medal9 as follow-9:? |
One for the best pure oak tannage, one ]
tor the best pure hemlock tannage and
one for the best mixed or udiou tannage.
These gold medals will be awarded by
the American Institute the leather exhibited
being subject to the same rules a<
o'her articles exhibited. Three or four
<
sides will be shown in the Exhibition
Building. The balance of the amo"nt
forwarded will he stored at sneh places in
the trade as may be selected by the exhibited
The leather exhibited must be a
fair sample of the average product of the
tanner. The great Medal of Honor will
be also awarded for a new machine or
process, which is not a mere improvement
on what was before u<ed, but which is so
perfect in its results and so economical in
its operation as to produce a favorable
revolution in some branch of the useful
arts. Only two such medals have thus far
been awarded ; and the difficulty of complying
with all the condi ions requisite for
securing this prize has great]) enhanced
its v?lue. No other institution, either in
the Old World or the New has fixed so
high a standard of merit, or purposes to
confer on an inventor so marked as dis
tinction.
The Board of managers have found by
experience that the relative value and
efficiency of engines and machines can he
correctly arrived at only by putting them
into practical operation, and in such way
that the actual amount of work done by
each wi.l be accurately measured by automatic
methods ; so that no errors of human
judgment can effect the result and enter
into the final decision. For several years
past the Board has expended large sums
<?f money for the purpose of making experimental
trials- Thus steam engines,
pumps and boilers have been, in turn,
>u'jects of special investigation. The
same plan will be pursued in the coming
exlii ?ition, provided the number and itn
por'ance of machines and apparatus for
accomplishing the same end shall warrant
su<-h a c-urse.
The Board further announces that all 1
the permanent alterations and improve '
ments in the great structure?covering
100,000 square feet?ordered by thelnsti
tute will be made for the express purpose 1
of rendering the show more attractive and
giving such facilities as will increase the
benefits that are to accrue to exhibitors.
Nilssoh's 11 usband.-The London Figaro
says that 1 he grandfather of M. Rnuztud j
was a poor locksmith. His son left France <
at fifteen years of age, invited by a tner- |
chant to the Isle of Bourbon, who, having ,
observed his intelligence, chose him for I
his clerk. Once there, the clerk speedih .
distinguished himself, became a partner, j
then master, married a young Creole, i
daughter of Admiral Bosq, an 1 return-d i
to France at the end of some years, leav- |
iug behind liitn a large commercial establishment.
and taking with him his wife
and children three boys and a girl. It is
the eldest of these children, Aguste, win (
married recently Mile Nilsson. The two
brothers, Arsene and Mederir, have continue
I the t uduess of their father. One
of them manages the establishment in the ;
Isle of Bourbon, the other is the representative
and correspondent of the linn in .
Bordeaux, and the father lives in Paris,
w here he lias an office, Ruede l'Echiqner.
As to the sister, Mile. Josephine Rouzaud,
she tnarried her cousin, M. Bosq. M.
Augnste Rouzaud is the only one of the
family who abandoned commercial pursuits,
frotn which his artistic instincts
estranged him. He was living alternately
in Paris and at the Chateau de la Dix
rnarie, his own property, near Jonzac
when he becamt acquainted with Mile
Nil-son, and proposed marriage to her.
After the wedding-breakfast, ju;t as they
stepped from the door to depart on their
bridal tour, a cupful of dry rice wu
showered on their heads from a window
above, and as the earrings drove off all the
old foot coverings about the place were
thrown after them. The bridal party
were drawn to the bride's hotel, where
she sang some of the songs she had learn
ed in this country, accompanying herself
upon a ban jo which was presented to her
while in this city.
A Narrow Escape.?one of the daring
Buislays recently had a very nairow esca|>e
from a horrible death at San Francisco. To
comply with the always growing desire
tor something stiU more penlous in the
piogramme of the gymnast, the Buislays
have introduced a balloon scene, which it
is almost impossible for the average petson
to witness without a feeling of terror. Ai
tin* close of many orb- r wonderful teats an
immense balloon ascends bom an amphitheatre
until it lias le K-hed such a he'ght
hat the car is just barely visible to the
naked e\e. One of the male Ruislavs I lien
drops out ti e side upon a trap' ze bar, and
performs with as much sang frniil as if he
was still in the theatre, with a neiting
beneath to break a possible fall. On the
11th inst.. while going in'o the air to show
Ins skill in this way, the balloon took fire.
Winn within about ten feet of the ground
an ex pinion followed, and t lie fragments
ot tbe ball'on dropped upon the head*, of
the audience in all direction?. In the
midst of ttie smoke, young Buislav descended
without injury. It the explosh n
had taken place ten minutes later be
would, without doubt, have met with a

The Most Beautiful.
Somewhere about sixty years ago there
lied iu Upper Hungary au old Titular
Judge, who had a great fancy to be re
meiubered long after his death. IJe had
three nieces, Hermiuia, Pepi. and Agnes^
who, while he lived, had the credit ot
being 6ingulary beautify}?indeed the
fame of their beauty resounded far and
near.
These three pretty girls often visited
their uncle, and the burden of all their
requests was?"Now, my dear uncle,
won't you leave me yonr many-storied
house when you die?"
"Tes, dear, I'll leave it to thee. I'll
leave it to thee. I'll leave it to thee,'' he
said to each of them in return ; and as he
liked such talk, they often repeated their
pra} er. It suited his humor to be amused
with such penetrating inquiries?indeed,
lie was almost prepared to depart with the
fore-knowledge that after his death an ex
cellent joke would amuse the world, and
he anticipated its consequences with much
seli-satisfving laughter.
lie died?his will was opened, and these
words were read from it: " My twostoried
house, however, is bequeathed to
the most beautiful of my nieces."
Who would like to be the executor of
such a testamentary bequest?
Of course there was a lawsuit, and it
lasted for ten years. The three goddesses
were not a whit discouraged. Never did
a two-stori?-d house excite such interest.
It was indeed a most embarrassing
question for the lawyers?of these fair
maidens which was the fairest?
TV lien it came, to the question of evi
dence, there were a hundred witnesses
ready to depose in favor of each of the
ladies?their personal hearing, their danc
ng, the air with which they walked, the
tenderness with which they sighed, the
grace with which they dressed.
A visum lepertum was needed fully to
appreciate llermiuia's light figure, her
raven-black locks, her shining eyes. Then
again the lovely Agnes, or. more properly,
the rosy-lipped damsel with the silk>hlond
curls and the most delicate hands.
And next, the irre.-istihle P. pi, with tlucliestnut
brown ringlets, the sweet blush
es on her cheeks, the teeth which were
rows of pearls, and, above all, that fascinating
smile. Everybody, indeed, tnusi
own that they are beautiful?supreme.^
beautiful?all the three. But what law
vers could decide, what controversy determine,
which was the TO"xM>eautiful ?
It was truly only the repetition of tinTrojan
war, carried on with pen and
ink. And how cou.d the interesting
)ues'ion he settled? What had?what

i>n behalf of their clients? It w*s agreed
by all that they had lesa to plead theii
mpeilative beauty than to discover the
inferioity of their opponents, fur the Inverness
of each was acknowledged by every
l?o :y, and nobody could deny that the inheritance
mast belong to one of thetn.
. And who could avoid seeing how em
harassing anu h??w costly such a lawsuit
must become? All the inyst<ries of the
toilette, even the most impenetrable, were
brought forward in comparison and con
trast. When the advocate of Ilermina
averred that rouge had not been without
influence upon Pepi's glowing cheeks,
abundant evidence was aduced to show
that the hloom of health was alone visible
there, that its beauty came with the
dawning at the day, and that a tint so
lovely could never have been borrowed ;
it was native to that charming face. A
still more alarming averment was that, on
close inspection, Ilermina would be found
a little crooked, and that she wore stavs
to keep herself straight, while Agnes
walked a little lame on the right foot, and
wore something within her shoe?and
more, that her chignon, as they called it.
was not her own, but was made of false
hair. Then came the overpowering argument?the
great triumph of the advocate,
that in order to influence the verdict.
when Pepi's cheek whs distorted by the
rheumatism, and she could scarcely open
her mouth, Herminia was unable to speak
from having taken too much snuff. Then
all the various intellectual qualities of the
ladies were depicted?the one, how piquante!
the other, how grave! the third
how ungallant! this was perverse ; thai
venomous, and what could he more dam
aging to beauty than forwardness and illtiumor?
And examples were brought
forward ; there were Shari, Katty, Nina,
Parius, Tulsha, and many a dismissed
lady's maid, female cooks, and abigails,
the narration of whose misdoings occupied
the court for eighteen weary hours;
while on the contrary side, Betty ami
Na'ty, indignant at the reproaches flung
at their sex and at their professions, were
heard at length, and tiny swore they had
1:0 interest than to protect outraged and
calumniated beauty.
Se\en years the lawsuit lasted; it had
not advanced the breadth of a hair. Now
the balance fell on one side, now on the
..II.AM K ? ! 1.n Tn/I.f n.tikminoiwluil

the contending; parties to come to some
friendly understanding with one another.
Happy thought! As well might he
have recommended a fashionable Englishman
to imitate a nude Indian. You may
ask the Vladika of Montenegro to own
that the Sultan is a greater man than he.
You may counsel the editor ot a fashion
able journal to avow that either of the
two rival journals is better than his own :
hut you must have indeed a strong, faith
to believe that in the contention for
beauty between these fair maidens any
one would allow the other to he fairest.
?
So. the breach was unhealed?the decision
void?and the war waged with greater
bitterness than before, and the pros and
00"i were fiercely deba'ed.
And the years rolled on with accelerated
swiftness. During eight and twenty
>ears the discussion still continued?
4* Who is the most beautiful of tile beauties?"?and
there was no prospect of a
final award.
Jo the meantime, there wat no one to
take charge of the house that wai bei
~
qneather] by the will?nobody to pay th
interest on the charges that had been ir
curred. While ihey lasted the yearl
revenues had been spent on the laivsui
The impatient creditors seized the Imuf

dnce enough to cover the expenses; an
there were more quarrels among the crer

as to which was the most beautiful.
They had all of them now pns-eri the
fiftieth year; age and trouble had swej

They were all unuiarried; they lived i
the same house bnt not harmoniously ; tl
passers-by in the street were often di
turbed by their wranglings and the
quarrels.
When the bequeathed house was di
posed of, the three ladies went to tl
Judge, inquiring what they had better d<
"I think," replied the honest rnagi
trate, "that if the lawsuit be renewei

Opium Eating in Schools.- Much i

j schools, seminaries and colleges. A b<

whose name has been ascertained, with
circular containing directions for its us
The circular also sets forth, in glowii
terms the advantages to be derived fro
the use of the candy or lozenges. Amoi
those advantages is alleged to be such
sharpening of the mind as will enable tl
pupil using the preparation to get his i
her lessons with but little mental effoi
and to carry of the prizes with p? rfe
ease. Such a lure as that is almost su
to catch idle young people, and ambitio
pupils also. The habit of nsing ti
opium once established, the victim is u
able to shake it off; and the beloved s<
or daughter, all unknown to the parefi
at home, lays the foundation for a wrec
ed life, and a blighted career. Sometim
the pupils communicate the secret loth*
intimate associates, and the school h
comes largely infected with the pernicio
practice.
Men who seek, by thus stealthily ere?

the minds and bodies of the young, d
serve the severest puni>liment. The f

e The Sea.
i- Nearly the whole sea is, four times a
y day, subject to a change in its level by the
t. movements of the tides. The motion proie
doced by the winds, and known by the j
)- name of waves, is much less regular. The i
d wind, striking the surface of the se i in an I
1 oblique direction, pushes some of t'je 1
n water on the surface over that which is
is contiguous to it, and "bus raises it above
the common level, until so much water i>
ir accumulated that the wind is unable to (
it maintain it in tliat position, and it fplh
s. down. Each wave presents a gently as- <
n ceuding surface to the windward, and a
le particular descent leeward. The elevas
tion of the waves varies according to tin (
ir strength of the wind. A rather Iieavy
gale rises then from six to eight feet
s- above the common sea level; but in very
ie strong gales they attain an elevation o!
i). thirty feet. This motion of the 6nrface o' i
s- the sea is not perceptible to a great depth.
1 In the stronger gales it is supposed not to
e, extend beyond seventy-two feet below the
ie surface ; and at a depth of ninety feet the
sea is perfectly still. The form and even
oi the size of the waves vary according to
the depth and extent of the sea. In shall<\ur
