Potato Muffins.?One pint of milk, _ six large potatoes mashed, one egg, one . desert spoonful of butter, and about one 1 gill of sweet milk. 1 Cutting up Corn.?Unless it is in h tended to husk the corn from the stand- n ing rows, the work of cutting and stock- d ing, if not already concluded, should be ^ finished as early as possible. e Cribbing Corn.?If the corn is sound, dry, and hard, it may be kept in a large .. crib, but if somewhat soft it will be necessary to take some pains to keep it *1 from moulding. The narrower the crib the better, and it is well to make some a chimneys in the corn with boards. Soft ,, corn should be spread out on the floor to dry, and l>e turned occasionally. Feed 0 it out at once. It is better for cows and p cattle than for fattening pigs. ^ n Almond Pudding.? Half a pound of a blanched almonds, four ounces of white ^ sugar, six tablespoon fuls of rose water, halt a pint ot sweet cream, three eggs, a little grated lemon-peel. Put the almonds a in a mortar and put a few spoonfuls of p supar on them, and rub them fine, then fj add the msewater, beat the remaining , sugar, and the eggs together separate, and then add them to the mixture in the h mortar. When at? are well mixed, warm a little, then put a little crust around p the edges or sides, and bake half an ^ hour. ^ Husking.?In our own case we find it S1 it far cheaper to have corn husked by 1" the bushel than by the day. We usually s' pay from four to six cents a bushel of ' ears, depending on the quality of the e< corn. Last year we paid six cents. ^ This year the corn is so much larger and better ripened that the husker can make s< more at five cents than he could last year at six. Wo say "he,"but in point o of fact this work is often done by a] women, or by a man who has a wife and child to help him. It is often with us cheaper to have it husked on shares.; A correspondent of the Agriculturist in o( Wisconsin speaks of paying one-third j m the crop for husking. We often get the 3( work done for one-seventh or one-eighth. J "" That is to say the husker takes one bush- n el and leaves us seven. When corn is i fr cheap it is generally better to have it a husked on shares. See that the corn is s( husked clean, and that the stalks are , tied up properly.?Agriculturist. Farming.?The Rural Home cites the tollowing as among the practices which v make farming unprofitable: Raising tl and feeding poor breeds of stock which b consume as much food, require as much w care us good ones, and finallv sell for TJ 1 cl li: - a. -3 i 13 icsb ujuuey. otiuag coarse grain, instead j of feeding it with straw and bay, thereby 0 decreasing the profit of feeding the j n latter, and diminishing the fertility of j g( the farm. Growing special crops that require all the mannre the farm can make ! 0 on a small area, and demand labor which h should be bestowed on the legitimate b branches of farming. If special crops ^ are grown they should be manured with ; purchased fertilizers, and enough labor v be employed so no other farm crop will t< be neglected. Special crops, as they are h termed, are out of place on ordinary farms. Letting the land get full of weeds which makes the cultivation more p' costly, and abstracts fertility which the b crops need. Neglecting the shelter ot T tools and making timely repairs to buildings. They will decay and render it necessary to employ more capital to re- a > new them, thereby further dividing c profits. Not having a well matured | * system of cropping. Neglect in expend-1 iDg money in needed and paying improvements. e ====== In The Death or W. II. Seward.?The r following order was issued at Washing- a ton relative to the death of Hon. Wm. H. Seward: c Department of State. ) n Washington, D. C., October 11,1872. j" 0 The undersigned is charg?d by the a President with the uainful dutv of an-1 a nouncing to the people of the United * States the death of an illustrious citizen tl William Henry Seward, distinguished e for faithful and eminent service in varied a public trusts during a long series of g years, died at Auburn, in the State of h New York, yesterday, October 10. o Charged with the administration of tho e Department of State 'at a most critical v period in the history of the nation, Mr. Seward brought to the duties of that of fice exalted patriotism, unwearied industry, and consummate ability. A grateful nation will cherish his name, his fame, and his memory. The several ex- ? ecutive departments will cause appro, priato honors to be rendered to the ^ memorv of the deceased statesman at ? home and abroad. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. s e A Strong Hold.?Quebec is the most a stronglv fortified citv in Canada. It is i q entered only through massive gateways ^ ?which are being moved, however, be- y cause thev impede travel?and the main fortifications are entered by a devious way, the sides of which are compact * granite, twentv to thirty feet high, everv Jn turn in which is swept by batteries of the < heaviest calibre. The walls could not fl be sealed, for that is impossible ; neither 5 could the citadel be entered bvthe ordi- 1 narv wav, if properly defended, for that j wonld be impossible too; but few shells ( conld be throwi into the citadel from ] the liver, for t'te angle and distance are < both too great, nothing, indeed, but a 1 siege or a mastery strategy could possi- ( bly capture the place, neither of which 3 is an admitted possibility by the few red i coats who garrison the fortress. ' The California Pike. "The true ' Pike,' ?n the Californian ense of the word, is the wandering gypy-like southern-poof white. This peron often lives with his family in a wagon; le rarely follows any steady industry; le is frequently a squatter on other peo>le'8 lands ; 'he owns a rifle, a lot of ihildren and dogs, a wife, and, if he can ead, a law book,' said a lawyer describng this character to me; 'he moves rom place to place, as the humor seizes urn, and is generally an injury to his leighbors. He will not work regularly ; >ut he has great tenacity of life, and is Iways ready for a lawsuit.' ' ' I found a Pike the other day killng and salting hogs, and actually haulng the salt pork off to sell it,' said a gentleman in whose company we were liscussing these people. Certainly' that was an industrious 'ike,' said I. " ' Yes, but confound it, they were my iogs,' he ttplied, with natural wrath. " Near San Diego a Pike family were ointed out to me who had removed rem Texas to California, and back to 'exas four times. They were now going ack home again to please ' the old woian,' who, it seems, had an old wagon rawn by a pair of broncho or native 1 IJ 1- - 1. 1 _ 1. . orses, ana wouiu prooaoiy oe six or ight montks on the road. Of course aey lived off the country, and probably v jd as well on their travels as when aey were settled. " You are told endless droll stcries bout these Pikes. In one county in ais state, which contains a large number f them, some San Franciscans who owt roperty there desired to help the people lake certain improvements. They called meeting by public printed notice, to e held at the school-house, in a district ontaining about two thousand inhabitnts. A few days after this notice was ut up, one of its signers received a note om a lawyer telling him that a mistake ad been made in the call, as the district ad no school-house. "'Very well,' said the amazed San 'ranciscan, 'we will build them a schoolouse; it will improve our property.' 'ou xjiust know that California is as well applied with schools as a New England tate. " But to this the leading Pikes object3 when it was proposed, on the ground rat the ringing of a school-house bell ;ares all the'deer away. " 'As soon as he hears a piano,' said an Id resident to me, 'the Pike sells out ad moves away." Pleasant Discoveries.?Diamonds are ccasionally found, in the African dialond field, on the earth's surface. The >il is sandy, or covered by a layer of ither coarse gravel. After digging about >ur feet the diamond seeker usually finds layer of lime, or something closely rejmbling it, which, when first exposed to ie air, is hard as a rock, and it soinemes takes three days to get through a ein of it. The voin is usually about iree or four feet in thickness, but after eing exposed to the air or the action ot 'ater, crumbles and i9 easily removed, ieneath it lies a bed ot red gravel, from ne to three teet. in thickness, in which a lajoritv of diamonds are found, although :>rae large and unsually fine ones are ocasionallv taken out of the soil below. Inbies, garnets and a greenish stone closer resembling the emerald are also found i profusion in the red gravel, but are alneless from the fact that they appear 3 have been subjected to some intense eat, which has scorched and cracked liem, so that, although large ones are ometirnes taken out, they may be rolled etween the hands and broken to pieces, he diamonds are neither incrusted with irt or surrounded by stone when found, s many persons appear to believe, but ome out bright and clear as drops of rater. Abottt Jewelry.?Cameos, which are ver popular with the ladies, take anunsual high stand this season, combining are stones with exquisite workmanship. nd elegant settings. Stones adapted r>r cameo-cutting are dense, thick, and onsist of different colors. The stones lost valuable for this purpose are the riental onyx and th? sardonyx. They re also cut in jasper, green chrysoprase, nd amethyst. The sardonyx gives the rhite figure upon the pink ground, and he chrysoprase upon the green. Minrvas, cut in stone which has four parllel layers, are very beautiful. The round is dark gray. the face light, the ! ?nst and helmet black, and the crest ver the helmet brown. Cameos cut in oral. set in diamonds and pearls, are cry elegant.

How to Collect Debts.?A man has >een held for trial in Philadelphia for dopting a new way of collecting old lehts. He is a collector of such by profession and generally gets 50 per cent, of the mms collected. He calls upon the deinqnent creditors with a badge of his profession conspiciously displayed on lis hat in the shape of a sign of considerable size. Of course the effect is to let all lookers on know that the party jailed on neglects his little bills, and is therefore not to be trusted. An irate doctor who received the collector's inconvenient attentions has had him arrested because he attracted a crowd, and as the doctor claims, " incited a breach of the peace." Too La to for Explanation. Lord Mark Kerr, who distinguished himself at the battle of Fontenoy, was 1? a good but eccentric officer, aDd a terri- 91 ble duelist His debut was remarkable. He was a lad of spirit. His father, the w Marquis of Lothain, when he brought 81 him to London to join his regiment?the ^ Coldstream Guards?requested the Col- cc onel, who was his particular friend,,to watch over him, and see that he submit- sc ted to no improper liberties, and to in- ^ struct him in the way he should go, in to case he had the misfortune to be in- nl suited. b( Those were the days of hard drinking cc " prodigious swearing," and brutal man- to ners. This pacific young scion of nobility soon became a butt at mess, a P< stop-peg to hang practical jokes on, un- 8E til at last a captain of a year's standing threw a glass of wine in his face. He P' still said nothing, but wiped his face with his handkerchief, and took no further notice of the insult he had re- P* ceived. ^i The Colonol thought it was high time fc1 to interfere, and invited him to break- ^h fast tete-a-tete, on the following morning at 9 o'clock. Lord Mark arrived punctually, ate his breakfast w'th perfect a< composure, and spoke but little. At eT length the commanding officer broke c0 ground. R? "Lord Mark," said he, "I must speak ^ to you on rather a delicate subject, but, m' as your father's friend, I am compelled to waive ceremony. Captain L , wi yesterday morning, publicly passed an affront on you, which both your honor c0 and the credit of your regiment require ad you to notice." . 18 " What do you think, sir, I ought to do ?" inquired Lord Mark. w< " Call on him for an explanation," re- nc joined the Colonel. 1,r " Jt is, I fear, too late for that," replied the young ensign, " I 6hot him at re eight this morning, and if you take the trouble to look out of the front window, P1 you will see him?on a shatter." m ye T1 Potato Crop.?If accounts which ^ come to us be correct?and there is no reason to think otherwise?the people ^ of Great Britain and Ireland are not to ^ be the only sufferers from potato blight. ^ The Presque Isle (Me.) Sunrise learns, on what it claims to be good authority, that potatoes are rotting very rapidly 10 this year. When dug they look quite healthy, but if allowed to remain a week ^ or more without being used, the rot sets in and destroys them. The experience of one farmer is particularly discourag- ^ ing. He had his entire crop placed ^ upon a dry cellar floor, expecting that the supply would last him until next season. In a couple of weeks, more ^ than half the number of bushels stored ,, away had to be removed, the potatoes |Q having rotted so as to be unfit even for ^ hogs. If the crop in the other States be similarly affected the prices will be large- fr( ly increased this winter, so that con- gfc sumers in cities will have either to pay ^ the advance, or content themselves alto- ^ gether with sweet potatoes. The prospect is certainly not very cheerful, but the housekeepers cannot prepare too w. soon to meet the emergency. a The Mississippi Filling dp.?It Wi would be a calamity to have the naviga- ar tion of the Mississippi River interrupted. 0(; The internal commerce of the river is B; probably greater than the foreign com- ag ruerce of New York and Boston combin- ca ed. But the bed of the river is rapidly ya filling up from the sediment brought in down from tributary streams, and there is danger that in the low water of summer, navigation may be difficult or im- 0f possible. In 1856 it was found that the m bed had risen from this cause two feet ^ and three inches in ten years. An ex- je animation this year showed more alarming results. In the last nine years it has jn rijen three feet and four inches. It is ^ thought that the freshets on the tribu- ' tary streams of the north-west bring down a vast quantity of particles of tough clay, and these mixing with the 8j. sand make a solid mass, which will not g wash away. The States along the river, or the national government, will be ^ obliged to dredge the channel to keep cf it navigable in low water, cy el A Sad Story. ?Another sad story of m the sea is related. Out of a crew of y< about thirty, only one remains to tell pi the melancholy tale. ' The ship was the y< Newcastle, which sailed from Liverpool, m I for Havana, on the 6th nit., under the tc command of Capt. Wilkins, and was Ts wrecked off Tuskar while passing down L the Channel. The crew took to the re boats when the vessel struck, but these fi were capsized and the men drowned, cl with the exception of John Berry. This man supported himself on a piece of C I wreck for three days, when he was pick- o ' ed up by the steamer Castiliau, on her 7 way to Lisbt n. During three nights and nearly fuur days he had no food, and \ the only means he had of quenching his ^ thirst was applying his tongue to a 7 rusty piece of iron on the wreck which a] supported turn, ne naa jusi Deeu lanti- <r ed in Liverpool. it Was he Drunk ??A singular legal o contest has been inaugurated in the ^ courts at Washington, D. C., to recover possession of certain real estate deeded Q : by a man who alleges that he was mar- ^ ried while drunk and conveyed his prop s1 erty to his wife under the same circumstances. When the case first came on ? in the Equity Court it was referred to a Q jury to determine the facts; first, what ^ was the condition of the plaintiff at the ^ time of executing the instrument? and ^ second, was undue influence used to procure the execution of said instrument? The jury found for plaintiff in both these particulars, whereupon the a District Supreme Court has set aside the * deed. An appeal to the United States ^ Supreme Court has been taken. u Chinese Cheap Labor. The Memphis Appeal gives the folding example of Chinese industry and iccese: Two years ago a number of Chinese rived at our wharf and were objects of reat curiosity. Some of these men set ed near here, and among them a small >lony found homes and cotton picking i the neighborhood of Marion, Ark., ime nine or ten miles from this city, mong them was Ah Maun, who proved i be a Chinese of education, gathered 3 some knowledge of English rapidly, jcame popular, and was called by the >untry people John Ormond. He set work at once. The first day his cotn picking amounted to twenty-two >unds. The negroes laughed at the nail specimen with a pig-t%l under his it. In one year not a negro on the antation could briDg as much cotton the gin house as Ah Maun. Ah Maun ok his triumph quietly, and kept his ipularity. Last Spring be and six of s fellow countrymen rented a piece of ound near Marion. Twenty acres ey put in corn and forty in cotton, iven times was the ground plowed er, until it was in complete order for ;rop. Every bit of grass was obliterated, ery weed exterminated, every fence rner made clean. The five men had (pointed Ah Maun "boss," and Ah aun allowed no slovenly ways. Early orn and dewy eve saw the six Chinese their tasks. Patient, plodding, unvaried industry that never lost heart, iver intermitted, brought a crop of rn and another of cotton that are the miration of Crittenden County. It visited and gazed at as a wonder of ill, industry and success. Another indcr was that Ah Maun and his men >t only knew no such word as fail, it they knew no such English as lick;" well they were and well thev mained through heat and cold, and ^amp fogs and chilly mornings When eking time came Ah Maun hired four ore of his compatriots, and all the ar the ten are busy as ants. On mrsday they sent two bales of cotton the city. It was received by Keel Co.. and Mr. Keel says two better iles of well grown, clearly picked cotn he had not seen this year. Ah aun's energy and skill, and that of 8 hard working companions, are ad* ired, and we hear it said that if the oup choose to break np next Spring, king new farms and joining with em new hands, they will be liberally ded, and such money and supplies may be necessary will not be with >ld. Ah Maun is triumphant, the bite folks regard him as a prodigy. Harrt Bassett Badly Beaten.?Har Bassett, after having won the title King of the Turf," has, like Longfelw, come to grief, being badly beaten Jerome Park in a four mile dash by 'onarchist. Immense sums were wa>red on the result, the odds being rongly in favor of Bassett. Everybody ;t, if not in the pools, at least with each her. Even shirt studs, sleeve buttons, rercoats, and neckties were staked when ervtliing else had gone. Kid gloves ill certainly show an advance on the arket price before the week is over, ne lady was seen to take off her gold atch and chain and wager it against lother's brooch and earrings.

Who Can Vote.?"I have been a tizen of the United States for the last xteen years says a correspondent, aving recently removed from the State New Jersey,- I have been informed iat T will be denied the privilege of reading a vote for the favorite of my 101'ce at the forthcoming Presidential ection.

Answer, 3ur removal into another State derives you of the right of voting until )n have conformed with the arrangeent.s of whatever State yon remove in?.

Rewarded.?4 remarkable instance f the reward that is said to follow good stions is the following: Forty-five ears ago Mr. B. T. Hanley, a merchant f Cincinnati, failed in bnsiness, but as assisted to engage ^n it again by a Granger named Mr. S. Davis. Shortly fter this Mr. Hanley's place of bnsiness 'as burnt to the ground, and Mr. Davis gain advanced him money, with which e left the city and went to seek his fornne.

Fifteen hundred men belonging to the arsenal, together with a portion of the naval Coast Guard and some of the population, joined the revolt, led by Montigo and Rosar. The Government despatched forces to quell the disturbance, but the insurgents had seized the gun boat in the harbor, took possessien of the light house, and so closed the port that Government reinforcements cannot reach the place by sea. In the Cortes the Alphonsista and Republicans disavowed all complicity in the movement, and declared their sympathy with the Government. .

Editorial Notices are so common that it is almost impossible for an editor to express his honest opinion of the merits of an article without being suspected of interested motives. This fact, however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of a new addition to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently directed. We refer to Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy wihch is making its way into more families jnst now than all the other advertised medicines put together. Its popularity, as far as we can judge, is not based on empty pretention. There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alternative properties, while so contains the great negative recommendation of containing neither alcohol nor mineral poison. Thrt it is a specific for fndige9tion, Biliousness. Consumption, and many other complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assured on good authority that as a general invigorant, regulating and' purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients (obtained from the wilds of California), are new to the medical world; and its extraordinary effects certainly warrant tne conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto nnknown. If popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitters, for the sale of the article is immense and continually increasing.? Com.
