The Working Man.
The noblest men I know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toil, 1
Who, backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the scil;
And win thereby a prouder name
lhan follows king or warrior's fame.
The working men, wbate'er the task,
Who carve the stone or tear the hod,
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God ; '
And worthier are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main ;
God bless them ! for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.
Farmhouse Notes.
Hew to Save Strawberry Seld.?
Proeure some cood blottinor mr>er. on
which mash your berries ; the juice will
be absorl>ed, and the pulps and seeds
will remain on the surface of the paper.
Place the latter in a dry sunny place,
and in ten cr twelve days your seeds will
be perfectly dry and ripe. Then sow them
shallow in a nicely prepared bed, which
must l>e kept moist. In from two to four
weeks your plants will be up, when as
soon as large enough they can be transpi
an ted.
To Make Coftf.e.?For four cups of
nicely flavored coffee put two tablespoon
fuls of the ground berries into your
coffee-pot, and moisten with cold water.
Pour on this as much hot water as you
desire in bulk of coffee. Removing the
lid of the boiling tea-kettle on the fire,
immediately place your coffee-pot upon
the open vessel ; in twenty minutes you
can have a delicious cup'of coffee, clear
as amber, in which yon have the full
strength of the berrv without the bitterness
sometimes developed by boiling. It
is wen wortn tryiDg.
Sowing Wheat.?A very nice experi
merit was m:ide last year by Professor
Daniels, of the University of Wisconsin
Experimental Farm, on the Wheat question,
by which it was found in six plots
of seed sown, from three pecks to two
bushel", the weight of grain was, in proportion
to the amount sown, in favor of
the largest quantity sown ; for instance :
3 4 bushel of seed to 'lie acre prodtic d
263 lbs. grain, or 17 53 bushels, or 820 <
lbs. stiaw and crain. 1 bushel produced
297 1-2 lbs., 19 83 bushels, or 899 lbs. (
gr ?in and straw. 114 bushels produced
332 3 4 lbs., 2616 bushels, L146 lbs. (
grain and straw. 11-2bushels produced 1
396 1 2lbs., 26.16 bushels, and 1,334 lbs.
grain and straw. 2 bushels produced |
455 1-4 lbs., 39 1 8 bushels, and 1.412
lbs. grain and straw. On the plot where
13 4 bushels were sown a local cause
gave on unfair result; in each instance !
the weight per bushel was 60 lbs. or ,
more, the highest being in the plot where
2 bushels of seed were sown, which was
601 2 pounds. The seed should be sown 1
not less than two nor more than three <
inches deep.
The Dtet or Fowls.?The diet of i
gallinaceous birds, when they are in a
wild state, contains a larg-* proportion ,
of highly - seasoned or aromatic substances.
The buds and berries plucked '
in the forest are generally spicy, or well '
flavored with bounnet, or are peppery or i
pungent. Hence the peculiar game
flavor possessed, as every epicure know*,
bv the flesh of wild auimaK Our cul
tivated grains have a delicious aroma,
as proved by newly-popped corn, or the j
fragrance of a loaf fresh from the oven.
The flavor of wheat belongs more
especially to the portion of the kernel
nearest the hull, one reasou for the popularity
of graham flour. The flavoring
principle iu articles of food such as fruits, ,
nots, grains, or other seeds, consists in n
peculiar volatile oil. Now, aroma, b liquet,
flavor, or whatever we chooso tc
call it, in food, possesses almost univer- l
sally a tonic of stimulating propriety.
It gives zeal to the appetite, and aids
digestion. To apply these remarks to
the diet of fowls ; though grain is aromatic,
it is but slightly so when compared
with the intensely seasoned forest-fare
of the partridge, wild turkey, or th<
parent of our domestic fowl, the wild
junsde heu of India. To restore the lost

oaiance, mereiore, oerween me nutritive
and stimulating properties of the
food of our poultry, a little cayenne
pepper, ground mustard, or ginger may
be added to their dough, meal, or mashed
potatoes, with decided benetit to their
health and prolificness.
Jeuvsalim. ? Jerusalem cannot be
truthfully described as an enterprising
city at the present time. Its chief native
industries are the manufacture of
soap, which is not largely consumed by
the resident population, and of what is
called Jerusalem ware, consisting of
chaplets, crucifixs, beads, crosses, and
the like, made principally of mother-ofpearl
and olive wood, and sold to the
pilgrims who annaully report to the Holy
city to the number of 6,0o0 or 8,000. It
also exports olive oil and grain. The '
population of Jerusalem is estimated at
18,000. of whom about 8,000 are Mnhom
etans, 8,000 to 9,000 Jews, and* the rest
Christians of various denominations.
The employment of the people is almost
wholly agricultural and pastoral, but the
vast aud fertile plains around the city are 1
only partially tilled owing to the want of
protection against the predatory eieur- '
sions of the Bedouin tribes inhabiting '
the outskirts of the district. A little
cotton of an inferior quality, raised from
native seed, is growing and exported to
Marseilles. The American colony which
was establish ?d at Jappo has been starve d
out and replaced by a band of Germans
numbering 200 souls. The road to
Jordan has been repaired at the cost of
a lady whose name is not given, but it ic
still a hard road to travel in consequence j
of the swarms of Bedouins who infest
that region.
Bt Whol*sale.?A distinguished engineer,
who is connected with Rome of
the roost honorable families in Italy, has
just been arrested at Florence, charged :
with attempting to murder on a whole- 1
sale scale. It appears he was involved in ]
financial troubles, and, with a view to |'
extricate himself by means of the pro 1
perty of his friends, which he expected
to inherit, the wretched man tried to j
poison, by morphine, no fewer than 1j
eighteen individuals, among whom were j
his father, brother, wife, and his own
children. The Gavlois says he is plainly
mad, as it is not possible to believe '
any man endowed with reason would try
to accomplish such crime.

Tie Bienville Eiaarter.
The story told bj Wm. Thompson, who
bad charge of the fourth boat of toe Bien- a
ville, burned at sea, is as follows: I
"I sailed in the Bienville from New s
York on the 10th of August as steerage }
pa>senger. My destination was San Fran- t
cisco. On the morning of the 15th, while t
lying in my buDk, I was awakeued by c
some one roughly seizing me and saying, t
"Get up, the ship is on fire !" 1 got up s
and saw a thick smoke in the steterage. I i;
went immediately on deck and saw the v
crew tning to get hose. The fire was t
supposed to be in the bold, and every ef- s
fort was made to direct the hose to the g
fire. The scene on deck was quite orderly. ]
Tne passengers and crew were gathered r
aft. Owing to the breaking ol the donkey ]
engine all efforts to subdue the fire were 1
useless. The order was then given to 1
place tarpaulins over the hatch, which was }
done. Preparations were then made to |
linn/th fVio hnote at>T7??ri in nnmhpr which c
was done successfully, with the exception J
of one, which was stove in and swamped, t
The captain then gave orders for the pas- (
sengers and crew to get into the boats. }
This was immediately done, and it was \
found that the boats were considerably ]
crowded. The one to which I was detail- g
ed was especially, there being th:rty-one t
in her, her capacity being only for twenty- i
five. Our beat was in a very bad condition s
and leaking fearfully. There were five of f
the crew, three ladies and the rest male ]
passengers. We got away from the ship, v
and we found we had no room to woik her a
or even bale her out, and as she was in a g
sinking state we called to the ship to send r
another to take some of us off, so as to c
lighten her. We saw a boat approach. c
commanded by the second mate, named r
Gough, and on reaching us he ordered three j,
others in instead of lightening U3. Oneof j
them was very unwilling to come, but the I
mate threatened with oaths to throw him a
in. The man then jumped in and lrnme t
diately the boat swamped and turned keel {
uupermost. Some immediately swam to ^
other boats, others clung tc the spats and |
ten J ersons were drowned. The conduct t
of the second mate was be irtless in the o
pxtreme. Although he saw women and t
men struggling m the water for their lives t
he ordered bis boat away as last as possi t
ble, not attempting to save one of them t
We swam around (he boat, trying to right t
her, for some time ; at last we succeeded. e
She was then full of water, and we had no o
means of bailing her; so ten of us cot on a
?ach side, supporting ourselves by clinging .
ro the boat; and we remained in that cor- <r
P
dit'on over eight hour?. We then saw a
wreck ot a boat, contairing five men. We
made towards it. and abandoned our boat, j
which being lightened, enabled us, with
the assistance of the other boat, to bail ber
nit. At this time a heavy shower fell. c
w hicb somewhat calmed the sea, and made t
it easier for us to get our boat right again. t
We were in sight of the burning ship all ()
this time; the other boats were all away. c
During this day we were engaged in rig- ^
ging up our boat, with an oar for a mas*
and the ladies dresses for sails. We broke
up tbc old boat, and from a stave of her c
rigged up a jib sail. Towards evening the v
ship exploded and went down. We were
about two miles distant from her. We ^
then sailed before the wind to what we ^
believed to be the nearest land, which we
reached in two days and two nights. Wt j
landed on San Salv ador on Friday night.
We found accommodation, but slept on the
beach that night. Next n oining we found ,
a shanty inhabited by negroes, who were
very kind to us?extraordinarily so?supplying
us with every thing they had. The
\
ladies were in a sad plight, being without
food and water all the time and under a
scorching sun. Their arms wore very badIv
blistered, but they bore up very well.
We were then provided for by Mr. Stuart,
the magistrate of the island, until the fol- ^
lowing Tuesday, when a fifteen ton sloop v
was chartered, which conveyed us to Nassau,
a distance of one hundred and twenty- r
five miles. Our safety in reaching San '
Salvador is entirely due to Peter Barry, *
an able seaman on the ship, who displayed '
admirable courage ami wonderful contrivance
in rigging up and navigating our
small craft. Had it not been for this r
man's intrepidity we should certainly never s
have survived. I have now reached New !
York penniless, all my clothing gone, 1
watches jewelry, and everything 1 posses- l!
ed. Just previous to closing the hatches ^
of the ill-fated vessel I endeavoied to get ^
at my trunk, where my money and jewelry c
were deposited, but the smoke was so 1
dense I was unable to do so, and hearing a
the order issued to close the hatches, I im a
mpflintt'lv* rpfnmrrf. On hnard flip shin. ^
under the captain's eye, everything was
conluctcd orderly and well; but in the e
hoats I never witnessed such heartless ?
ciuclty as practised by the subordinates in
command. However, it is now over, and
I thank God for my safe deliverance from 1
this terrible calamity." a
American Girls.?T. W. HigginsoD q
*ays in the Womans Journal: "A voung
Americrn gill who had been at school in a
t rance and Germany told me that be- a
eanse of her nationality she was con- n
sidered self-protecting. Slic was allow t)
ed to go about more freely than the (]
European school girls, and sometimes, w
where it became necessarv, had fellow- _
* I ^
stndents older than herself put under j ^
her protection as if she were a man.' j.
As a consequence of this, she said, she ft,
was really safer than the others, because p
;iny one of thein, if she had accidentally w
found hen-elf in the street alone, would
have been terrified and bewildered. ^
There is nothing that so debilitates as |f
the habit of being protected." v
The Neapolitan.?A most comiortable u
zarracDt for the laides, the coming winter, I ^
is the Neapolitan, a round, half-loose v
?aoque, with deep Dolman sleeves that1
fold over the arms in front in a way thati S1
dispenses with the use of a muff. It is w
shown in the new Siberian cloth?a thick, ^
soft, fleecy beaver- in the fashionable c
bronze brown, gray, and plura-color. The a
trimming is wide soutaobe braid, in Gothic
designs, and the new brown fur fringe
called bear fringe. - h

East River Bridge.?"Work on the
list River Bridge to connect New York
nd Brooklyn is being pushed forward |j0
rith vigor. The New York caisson is ao;
ompleted, and the masons have for some m.
itne been at work on the tower, and the
ngineers calculate on laying two courses
f masonry a week until the tower is ?p
ompleted. These courses are each four un
eet in height. The superstructure has 8e]
iow reached an altitude of twenty-four ^
eet above hisrh water, eight hundred jP(
ubic yards of masonry being laid every jji
reek. There are about fifty men employ- |,j,
d on the structure, and tliey are under co
he personal supervision of four engineers,
leaded by Colonel Roebling. The stone be
omes from Maine, and is 6tored at Red th
look, opposite Governor's Island. It is cli
alculated at present that a supply of trt
ight hundred yards of stone is on hand. It
V. scow plies between the structure and uo
he island every day. From this scow pr
he stone is lifted by steam to the dock, en
vhere at a certain point two tracks come di
ogether. The stone is placed on two fai
:ars and conveyed to the structure, to m;
he top of which it is raised by means of foj
team derricks and placed in proper do
msition. Then the spaces are filled up sn
vith concretes composed of cement, sand by
ind gravel. Even this is mixed by ha
nachinery. A revolving shaft is used to sei
>erform this operation, which is found to fig
>emuchmoie thorough and more econ- mi
mical than it could possibly be by hand. Ioj
Vater is poured on in regulated quantities pa
>y one woikman from a hose, as the shaft ge
evolves, and mixed with the cement, qu
and and gravel, forming a plastic com til
>ound. From forty to fifty yards a day of co
his material is used. After this structure th<
* completed, the next step will probably vq
ie the building of anchorages on the New of
.'ork and Brooklyn sides. These will all;
ach be 800 feet inland from the towers,
he New York one at the corner of Water
nd Dover streets, and the Brooklyn
nchorage at the corner of James and
fercein streets. It is expected that the
ower will be raised about vext June,

Wtld Horses.?The habits of wild
r&es are well worth studying, for in
me particulars they possess almost burn
intelligence. They cboo e their
rn chiefs which give the signal for
parture. When they find afield dried
i, they walk at the head of the colan,
and are the first to throw them
Ives into a ravine, a river or an un
own wood. If any extraordinary ol ;t
appears, the chief commands a halt
? goes to discover what it is, and after
5 return, gives by Deigh, the signal oi
nfidence, of flight, or of combat. If a
rce enemy presents itself that cannot
escaped by fleeing, the herd unite
emselves into a dense and circular

where the young animals take refuge,
is seldom that such a manoeuvre does
it force the tigers or lions to make a
ecipitate retreat. These hordes, genally
com osed of several thousand inviduals,
divide themselves into many
milies, each of which is formed of a
lie and a certain number of mares and
als, that follow and obey the male with
cility. The chief horse is the exclude
sultan; all the mares belong to him
the right of force; woe to the foolrdy
one that disputes with him his

How to Fasten Rubber to "Wood
d Metal.?Asrubber plates and rings
1 now-a days used almost exclusively
making connections between steam
d other pipes and aparatus, much anyance
is often experienced by the im
ssibility or imperfection of an airlit
connection. This is obviated enelv
by employing a cement which
tens alike well to the rubber and to
1 metal or wood. Such cement is prered
by a solution of shellac in am
inia. This is best made by soaking
lverized gum shellac in ten times its
ightof strong ammonia, when a slimy
ss is obtained, which in three or four
eks will become liquid without the
i of hot water. This softens the rubr,
and becomes, after volatilization of
; ammonia, hard and impermeable to

Return of Two Captive Girls.?The
nature of Indian outrages, which are of ?
constant occurrauce, is illustrated by a 84
r<
correspondent in a case of two young
girls brought into a station by the Kio- t
was. I withhold their names for obvious
reasons. In June last they were part of a el
happy family in Texas. One night thair d
house was snddenly surrounded by the ^
Kiowas, and a dreadful massacre eusued. ?
The father and mother of the family
were shot and hacked to piecee. The &
elder girl of the two to whom I refer had ?
a pistol snapped in her face, but was j>
spared for a worse fate. Her sister, i
twelve years old, and a little brother of \
six years were set aside while the fiends
outraged the person of the eldest girl in s
presence of the mangled and streaming S
bodies of their dead parents. The house r
was then put to the flames and the fiends
danced about the ashes of its owners c
k
The two girls and the boy were carried i
ofl to the Kiowa nation (Dot far from the
post,) the girls condemned ta infamous *
treatment, and the boy to afford the 1
unites amusement m their leisure nours. Mrs.
Tatum, the excellent wife of Friend Tatum,
has the girls now in' charge.
The youngest is, I am informed,very ill; ji
which, though horrifying to reflect on, t
is not to be wondered at. The little boy g
is still with the saviges, and it is hard to ?
tell whether they will surrender him or i:
not. Lone Wolf, who sent the girls in. r
expected a large ransom; but did not get j
a cent. He is, therefore, likely to keep r
the child. The present commissioners i
have, however, determined not to issue t
to him or his tiibe any more rations un
til the Kttle captive is brought in, and b
this may bring him to terms. Why this "
oourse was n*t taken long since is to a e r
perfectly inexplicable. *

acid by weight; to this add one quarter
ounce ol vinegar. The file< will turn red. When
they again resume their natural
color, take them out and wash them in t
cold water, after which they must be thoroughly
oiled with sweet oil, and wrapped
singly in brown wrapping paper which ?
will absorb the oil from the files.

A New Epoch in Medical History.? h
*' Reason and chance." says Pliny, 41 led
me to the discovery of the virtues of med- '
trine herbs." In these modern days, re- ?
search and experiment have perfected the e
work that reason and accident began. c
Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, are the p
latest result of botanical investigation and s
pharmaceutical science. The exrraordin- p
arv medicine, composed entirely of vege- t
table ingredients cnlled from the soil of
onr Pacific Territory, is prononnced a
remedy for every disease?not organic?
ot the stomach, the liver, the bowels, the
respiratory system, the kidneys, the mns- a
rles, and the other organs which make
up the machinery of life. All who have g
witnessed its effect are in favor of its uni- .
versal adoption as the safest and most B
reliable tonic known. Free from the i
alcohol, it is nevertheless a stimulant. ?
though not a dangerous excitant. One o
thing is certain?no curative heretofore o
introduced to the public through the press, ?
has ever obtained in so short a time, the l
celebrity of Dr. Walker's California 9
Bitters, or been supported by such up' r
impeachable testimony. From that testi i
monv it is evident that this preparation is B
a specific for Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility,
Intermittent and Bilious Remittent Fevers ?
Diarrrbcea, Dysentery, Rheumatism, Gout, c
and all disturbances of the secretive r ?d
excretive functions.?Com
A Roland for an Oliver.?Although
no phrase is in more common use, few ?
are acquainted with its origin. The ex- *
pressiou signifies the giving of an equiva- n
lent. Roland and Oliver were two
knights, famous in romance; the wonderful
achievements of the one could only be
equaled by those of the other. Hence
the phrase, "A Roland for an Oliver."
Symptoms of Catarrh.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction o' f
nasal passages, discharge falling into throat. '
sometimes profu?e, watery, acid; thick and n
tenacious mucous, purulent, muco-puru n
lent, bloodv, putrid, offensive, etc. In n
others a dryness, dry, watery, weak or in- p
flamed eyes, ringing in ear*, deafness, n
hawking and coughing to clear throat, ul- C
ceralions, seabs from ulcer', voice altered, t>.
nasal twang, offensive oreuth, impaired **
smell an.1 taste, dizziness, mental denres- don,
ficklme couch, etc. Onlv few of the d
at>ove symptoms are likely to be present <]
in any case at one time. No disease is g
more common or less understood by phy J
?icians. Tbe proprietor of Pr Sack's Ca- taruh
Rf.mdkt will pay ?500 reward for I
a case of Catarrli which he cannot cuie. "

Dckl by Women.?Two women, jeal- D
ous of the same lover, recently fought a 1(,
duel in Mexico, attended by female sec- p
onds, and according to the regular rules c
of the code. One was armed with a rccu- |
lar dagger and the other with a dagger
made of horn. The latter proved a more
formidable weapon, as the woman using it
killed her antagonist. The surviving prin- Bi
cipal ard seconds were arrested.

Want of Vitality.
If a deficiency of vital energy is not a disease in itself
b is a condition which lays the system open to the stacks
of all conceivable maladies. Night aud day we are
urrounded more or less by deleterious influenoes. No
tmosphere is entirely pure, no water utterly free from
ajurious particles ; while in many localities both artmsitively
unwholesome. What defence has the weak,
inguid system in which the vital principle is deficient
r dormant, against any of the morbid influences which
iroduce epidemio and other diseases ? None whatever,
'here is no safety save in artificial reinforcement. Hoeetfcer's
Stomach Bi'ters have, beyond all question, a
italixing effect. If the nervous forces of the body have
pen recklessly expended in exhausting physical or
lental labor, or dissipated in the indulgences of a "fast"
fe, this powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will
estore them. If the defective vitality is a ortitutional
vil it can be remedied to a great extent '>y this wondernl
invigorant At a season of the year when the air is
lore or less impregnated witu the seeds of periodic
svers, it is especially desirable that the digestion eh uld
e perfect, the habit of body regular, the liver active,
he blood pure and the nerves firm. These condition*
re the best protection against all disorders, and they
re conditions which the Bitters are better adapted thsn
ny other medicinal agent to promote and secure. See
o it, however, that no imitation or counterfeit is subtituted
for the genuine article, and let all who value
ealth a id have an antipathy to poison beware of the
ical bitters made from condemned drugs and vilelv
dul'erated alcohol, which have sprung up like un
rholesome fungi all over the country. ?
