Farm, Garden and Household. Transplanting Trees in Autninn. The proper time for removing deciduous trees (if in tiie fall) is as soon after the wood is ripened as possible, and if due care is taken not to mutilate ! the roots nor allow them to dry, a successful result may be counted on. Always strip off every leaf ; this defoliation is the primary safeguard, and cannot be neglected. There is not the least difficulty in safely moving even very large trees when tliese precautions are adopted, and the operation can, if necessary, be performed long before the frosts loosen the foliage. Horticulturists, as a rule, have decided against fall planting for evergreens, constant failure at this season having fully demonstrated the evil effects of the practice. But here again Township, State of Minnesota, and his wheat field this year was 800 acres in extent. At the harvest seven reaping machines followed each other in quick succession, and forty men camo after, binding and shocking. It was a sight to see the thickly Btanding shocks stretching away for two mileB. Immediately upon completion of this part of the work, the stacking crews were organized, with twenty teams to do the hauling. The threshing will commence as soon as practicable, axd the grain be carried direct from the machine at the rate of a car-load a day and shipped to Milwaukee. The varieties grown are the Lowland Scotch, Rio Grande, and Odessa, and the seed is produced on the new land turned over each year. Sowing this on old fields gives, Mr. W. says, all the advantages of a change of seed. A portion of the yield is placed at 85 bushels $er acre, and the gross proceeds at ?25,000. Feeding Fattening Hog*. A hint to feeders, valuable though not new, may be found in the following, condensed from the Boston Cultivator: Warm, dry pens should be provided for our swine, and their quiet and comfort studied as much as possible. By so doing we save many bushels of grain. The best feeders change food frequently, and find they make a decided profit b^r so doing. If salt is occasionally given, it tends to keep up the appetitfe, as well m aids digestion. Too mucii rich food is injurious; the stomach can only assimilate a certain quantity at once. If an animal loses its appetite, the food should at once be changed, and very generally to something lighter, as roots, pumpkins or apples. Sour milk adds much to the growth of hogs (and we have seen it well verified that raw meal mixed with sour milk, was much better for fattening pigs than any other cooked food whatever). Fermented food is much preferred by some feeders, and it is well to give it us a change, if no mote. The Good Cows and (he Poor Onci. Many persons think that a cow is a cow any way. We will suppose that there are two cows for sale: the one is an ordinary cow and is offered for $40, and the other, an extra cow, is offered . for $75, both of the same age, and the first one will make on an average 125 pounds of butter in one year, and at the price of 30 cents per pound would amount to the sum of $37.50, and the other cow will' make 250 pounds in the same time, which at thirty cents a pound would be $75, double the amount of the first. Now, suppose it costs $30 a year to keep a cow (which I think is a fair estimate), it will leave only $7.50 for making and taking care of the butter, <f-c., of the first named cow, whereas, you will have $45 left of the income of the last named cow after deducting keeping, leaving a balance in favor of the good cow of $37.50. The Wrong Spring. The following story is from Bartlett Springs, California, where, as is well known, there are a number of small springs possessing various qualities. The water of some is recommended for j drinking purposes, of others for lathing, or for the cure of certain diseases ; but the one to which our narrative refers is a small soda spring, the water of which is considered an excellent drink, and a spring recommended for the cure of corns. It seems that an old gentleman who was troubled with corns made it a practice to go to the soda spring every even- ( ing and givo his corns a soak before turning in for the night, under the impression that it was the corn spring. The aristocratic visitors likewise made ; it a practice to go to the soda spring and take a drink before retiring, which was usually a little after the old gentleman got thiough soaking his corns. They were rather fastidious in their tastes and would very carefully rinse out the cup before taking a drink, but one evening oue of them happened to come down a little earlier than common and found the old gentleman soaking his corns as usual. The high-toned chap indignantly demanded what he mennt. " Ain't this the corn spring?" meekly inquired the old man. "Corn spring! This is the soda spring." "Well," said the old man, "I thought there must be something wrong ; I have been coming here every night for a week and I couldn't see as it helped my corn n bit." The water of that spring has been neglected since that evening. The McCarty-Mordecai Dcel.?The case of Pago McCarty, charged with killing Mordecai in a duel, was called at Richmond, but a doctor testifying that Page's condition was no better than when he was shot-, the case was adjourned till the 16th October. McCarty is held in $10,000 bail. comes in the value of the earlmess wo advise. Evergreens require a much longer period before cold weather, to prepare for the change ; hence if set out very early, say in the beginning of August, success is sure. How well this fact is known to European nurserymen is shown by their very general habit of transplanting in early August, and in this country we are just now a wening to a realizing sense that they are right. We know the objections urged against stripping off the foliage at the time of transplanting, but it is not a serious operation after all, and by so doing any tree can be transplanted at any time "with reasonable success, althongh during the growing period of June and July the young'and immature shoots should be removed as well. Transplanting at so very early a period we do not recommend except in extreme cases ; but it can be done, and is done by some of our most intelligent landscape gardeners. In conclusion, never forget that the roots once dry rarely if ever recover; hence, as soon as they are out of the ground, wrap them in damp cloths. A Wheat Field. George Wilkinson lives in Goodhue The Huntington, L? I., Scandal. A New York reporter had along interview with Mr. Wood, of Huntington, relative to the Kelsey affair which haa created Bo much of a sensation on Long Island. The latter said he had already told all that he knew about the caso of Kelsey. At the preliminary examination before Justice Monfortonthe night of the attack on Kelsey, Dr. Banks came to his house and said they had caught Kelsey, at the same time inviting Wood and his wife to go over to Mrs. Oakley's to see him. They Went, but Wood said had they known what a condition Kelsey Was in they would not have countenanced the thing by going at all. Royal Sam mis, the liusband of the lady to whom Kelsey wrote the letters, told him that he would have Kelsey punished if he staid away from New York a week to do it, and on the next day, when Wood went down to the village and met some of the people therr^ one of them said to him that Royal QnnAVMin vnn/1 A A I (jauiun.1 licivi iuauu ? ucmoiu vu?tu? ?v ward Kelsey whoa talking to isaac Ad: ams, the tin man, and he repeated the very words which Sammis had used to Wood?that he would punish Kelsey if it took him a week. The men in Mrs. Oakley's yard all wore masks, many of them 'looking like handkerchiefs tied down over the face, with holes for the eyes. Some of them wore a red mask, lie could not distinguish any of the voices. Sammis was in Mrs. Oakley's house. He Baw Kelsey after he had been tarred, but he does not think there was any tar on his face. He was in Mrs. Oakley's vard and was guarded by five or six masked men, who made him walk slowly almost entirely around the house. He had gone out through the back gate, when some one called out, " Bring him back !" After that they made him stand in the yard three minutes, and then some ono again called out, "Let him go 1" Wood could not distinguish the voice in either case. Kelsey then went back again toward the gate, and that was the last seen of him. The next morning Wood found a pile ef feathers in his barn shed, and the boards were smeared with tar. Kelsey came into his shed after leaving ; Mrs. Oakley's. Wood came away from Mrs. Oakley's with Dr. Banks and John MoKay. Wood had a poor opinion of Kelsey's character, and thought he wrote tne ouenBive letters sent to miss Smith, because he had compared the handwriting with a letter Kelsey sent to District Attorney Tuthill, promising not to annoy Miss Smith any more. Wood thought he knew of other ladies whom Kelsey had insulted. He came around Mrs. Oakley's at all Irours of the night, and was seen there by several persons, and they had to have curtains put up at the lecture-room windows of the church to prevent him from peeping in. The excitement at Huntington and in the surrounding country, says a Tribune correspondent, concerning the tragedy continues unabted, and there seems to be no immediate prospect either of sohing the mystery or of quieting the public indignation. The sympathizers with the Kelsey party seem to be increasing in numbers. Nevertheless there are still many who think that the remains discovered are not those of Kelsey, but those of some one else which had been smeared with tar, mutilated, and thrown into Oyster Bay by his friends, who are anxious to bring to justice those who are willing to acknowledge that they went so far a3 to tar and feather him. The majority of the people in tho vicinity of Huntington now entertain little doubt concerning the body discovered. They think ^that the plot could hardly have succeeded so well had it been hastily laid by the Kelsey family on the night of the outrage. Events could not have been so nicely fitted and jointed, and above all, a wanderer for whose arrest a large reward was offered and whose photographs have been scattered broadcast, could hardly have succeeded in eluding capture for nearly a twelvemonth. A Belgian Murder. The Indepcndance Beige surrenders several columns to an account of the trial of William Depauw, aged twentyseven, for a murder which seems to have been committed out of sheer perversity. It occurred at Yilvorde, in South Brabant, six mil^s from Brussels, on the line of the Antwerp railway. The victim, a laborer named Lebrun, was on his way home on Saturday night, when, having indulged somewhat freely in ale, half drunk, he laid himself down underJthe shelter of a garden wall in the Buejde l'Avenir,"and went to sleep. A neighbor named Leemaus passed him about half-pnst 10 o'clock and tried to wake him up, and he was found nearly dead at 11, with his skull fractured. A large stone lay near by, covered with blood and hair from the head of the victim. On investigation it appears that the accused, who was a man of great muscvular power, found Lebrun asleep under the garden wall, and out of sheer wantonness picked up a large stone and hurled it with all his force at the head of the slumbercr. The neighbors were attracted to the spot by De pauw's rough command to the bleeding man to get up, and the noise of his heavy wooden shoes, with which, by repeated blows he was trying to compel the obedience of his victim. " It is probable," says the Indcpcndance Belrjc, by way "of comment, " that Depauw threw the stone out of sheer wan-1 tonness, and, seeing that the man was mortally hurt, tried to get off with him to some less public spot, with a view to hide the body." The Last of Beau. As if it were not enough for Beau ; Hickman, of Washington, who started j in life with $40,000 and died in the poor house, his remains were not doomed to rest even in Potters' Field. Soon after the Beau's interment in Potters' Field the body was exhumed, the legs disjointed at the hips, the head severed from the trunk and skinned, the viscera taken out and removed, with the ex-1 ception of the heart, which was found 1 in the bushes near by wrapped in a j newspaper. An ivory-handled dissecting knife was found in the neighborhood. From appearances it is thought the persons were frightened from their ; work before they had completed their plans. Some benevolent gentlemen had made arrangements to give the body a decent irurial in the Congressional Cemetery, nnd on the undertakers going to Potters' Field to remove it the sickening mutilation wns first discovered. The remains, however, were collected, placed in a new coffin and interred at the cemetery. Minnesota counts upon a surplus of 60,000,000 bushels of wheat, mostly first-class, and it is expected that prices will range from 80 cents to $1. the Nathan Murder, How Irrlng'i Confession wu Made. The San Francisco Chronicle?two days before tfie confession of Irving was telegraphed to the East?contains { the following account of his delivery to I the police l " Nearly a week ago a man calling himself Alexander Brown went to the shipping office of Captain G. Naunton, on Battery street, and asked to be ehipped an an English vessel. He said that he had friends in Liverpool whom he wished to tee, and professed to be a thorough sailor. Captain Naunton examined the man as to his qualifications, and having satisfied himself as to the applicant's ability Cohcluded to do what he cord fdr him. The captain did not notieo anything extraordinary in the bearing or conduct of the man. He seemed exactly what he professed himself. a sailor. There .were marks of care well defined on his face, which showed that he had been accustomed to a raugh life; bnt other than these there was nothing to indicate that the applicant was different from the ordinary men of his assumed class. "The British ship Coulnakyle was lying in the Btream waiting for her crew. Captain John Japp, her commander, was a friend of Captain Jfannton, and upon his recommendation consented to take the man as one of his crew. He was accordingly shipped and {>aid the usual advance, 360. The folowing day he was sent to the ship, and entered upon the discharge of bis duties. He proved to bo a thorough sailor, and for the first few days was very popular with his companions, and Captain Japp congratulated himself in having gained a valuable acquisition to his crew. When Brown first boarded the ship he was one of the jolliest of the crew. His work was done with a will, and he entered heartily into all the simple sports with which the sailor whiles away the weary hours when ofi duty. "But about four days ago a great change passed over him. Ho became moody and glum. He no more joined the sailors in their meetings in the forecastle. Something seemed to be continually wearing upon his mind. H? paced the deck excitedly, occasionally muttering to himself, and his companions exchanged dubious glances as he passed them. Many times he approached the officers as if anxious to speak to them, but he would suddenly restrain himself as with an effort, and return to his solitary musings. He never neglected his work, but he did not enter i ! ? V il. _ L 1 11 1.1-L 1..J I mio 11 Willi mac iietinuietsti wxuuu uuu characterized him when he first boarded the ship. The sailors began to whisper among themselves that something was wrong with Lrown, and with the superstitions fears of their class began gradually to avoid the stricken man. "At length the crisis came. On Monday Captain Japp went ashore to clear his ship at the Custom House, intending to sail that afternoon. He had scarcely left the ship when Brown approached the second mate and asked to speak with him in the cabin. The officer was naturally surprised at this strange request, but supposing that Brown wanted to make known some some gTievance of the men he led the way to the cabin, the sailor following closely. As soon as the door was shut Brown began crying and groaning like a child. He seemed in perfect agony, and amid broken sob3 he told a story which fairly froze the blood of the hardy old tar. He said he did not want to go to sea, for ho had made up his mind that to elude justice longer was in vain. He belonged to the gallows, and the gallows must have him. Six years ago he and two other men had killed a man in New York. Since then he had escaped from the police and led a wild, criminal life. He related many exploits which he had performed in San Francisco, and ended by imploring the mate to deliver him over to justice, as his burdened conscience was too much for him to bear. " To this terrible story the officer listened in amazement. It was some time before he could realize that he was in the presence of a self-accused murderer. Then the idea seized him that Brown was mad. But sane or insane, he had but one duty. He ordered the unfortunate man in irons and reported the facts to Captain Japp, who soon returned with his clearance papers, jubilant with the thought that the Coulnakyle would sail that night. The captain immediately returned to the city and consulted with the British Consul. That gentleman directed him to hi form the police, and refused him tho consular port discharge papers until the case was fully investigated. The police were notified, and Brown was brought from tho ship and taken to Chief Crowley's room. Then Captain Lees at once recognized him as a burglar who had escaped from him fifteen years ago, on board of one of tho Pacific Mail steamers. All tho afternoon the prisoner was engaged in mnking his confession, which was reduced to writing by Captain Lees. He tells a very J straight story, but as his statements j implicate men high in the esteem of the | public, it will not be published until ] the facts arc authenticated. " Brown is a stout man, with a round head, seemingly about forty years old. ne is qmto intelligent and speaks fluently, evincing no fear of the result of * * * ? 1:? rri.? ins rernoie seii-nccuNnuwu.. ?u& jiujjuo of liis eyes are peculiar, covering nearly the whole blue portion.

A really pleasing incident is, strange to say, reported from a New York police office. An English gentleman arrived at Jersey City and drove with his baggage to a fashionable up-town hotel. " What have I to pay ?" he inquired of the Jehu. "Just $13," promptly re- j plied that hackman. Now, a custom prevails in London, pursuant to an act of Parliament, that in case of any dis-; pute with a fare the cabman must drive ; to the nearest police court. The Eng-j lishman, reasoning by analogy, and, ' luckily in this case, told the man to drive to a police office. Arrived there the gentlemnn stated his case, explaining that he was a stranger and simply wished to pay what was right, according to the recognized tariff. The Justice said to this moderate-minded hackman: "You will drive this gentleman to his hotel. Your fare will be altogether $3, but before you go you will have to pay $1.50 for the expenses attending thiB most proper application." Let ethers who are swindled bv hackmen, says a New York paper, follow this stranger's lead, Remarkable Feats of a Sleep Walker. The queer freaks of a sleeping man in St. Louis are thus related by the Timet: "A conductor of street cars named Leslie beards at a houSe nearly opposite the offices of the car company. The house is about sixty feet front, three stories high, and Leslie's room is in the top story. Adjoining the building is one of a lower attitude, the roof Of tfhich is about six feet below Leslie's window. East of this are the car stables. Between 11 and 12 o'clock one night Leslie was seen, in his night dress, cutting up all kinds of queer Eranks on the roof of his boarding ouse. He was here throwing a serious of flip-flaps, dancing backward and forward, ana gesticulating in the strangest possible manner. He then walked down to the eaves of the roof, where he seated himself) with his legs dangling oyer me sireei. jumping up, nc miu^ued along the edge of the roof to the western parapet wall, which is only a brick thick, up which he walked to the chimney, which he mouxted and passed ronnd it. Coming down from this perilous perch he walked over the roof, stopping by the way to go through the manual of arms, till he reached the eastern parapet, from which he jumped down to the roof of the low building. Here he indulged in a little tight-rope practice, walking along the wire of the tire alarm telegraph, divesting himself of his shirt while in this queer position and throwing it down on the roof, the crown meanwhile being in breathless suspense at the danger in which the poor fellow was. He then jumped back on to the roof, resumed his shirt, threw a first-rate somersault, and tlimbed up to the roof ridge of the house. These sort of evolutions were continued without any apparent fatigue or thought of danger for some time. He then jumped down on to the stable roof, some four or five feet lower, and marched tip and down the front wall of the building, some hundred feet in length, going through the mannal exercises the while in the most perfect manner. He returned by the course he had come, climbing the bare wall at the east end of the middle building without any apparent difficulty, and making a clean leap of several feet through his window into his bedroom. A numbtr of the officers of the car company went into his room immediately, where they found Leslie lying on his bed, evidently fast asleep, though with staring, wide open ej es. After some difficulty he was awakened from his stupor, but was unable to give any reason for his strange antics, being evidently unconscious that anything unusual had occurred. His attention was called to his blackened hands and bleeding feet, but he could not give an idea as to how they came in that condition. Altogether it is one of the most extraordinary cases of soihnambulism on record, and well worthy the attention of the scientific. A Beautiful Picture. The man who stands upon his own soil, who fee Is, bj the laws of the land in which he lives?by the laws of civilized nations?he is the rightful and exclusive owner of the land which he tills, is by the constitution of our nature, under a wholesome influence, not easily imbibed from any other source. He feels, other things being equal, more strongly than another, the character of a man as the lord of an inanimate world. Of this great and wonderful sphere, which, fashioned by the hand of God, and upheld by his owner, is rolling through the heavens a part of his?his from the centre to the sky. It is the space on which the generation moves iii its round of duties, and he feels himself connected by a visible link with those who follow him, and to whom ho is to transmit a heme. Perhaps his farm has come down to hi*n from his fathers; but he can trace their footsteps over the scenes of his daily labors. The reof which shelters him was reared by those to whom he owes his being. Some interesting domestic tradition is connected with every enclosure. The favorite tree was planted by his father's hand. He sported in boyhood beside the brook which still winds through the meadows. Through the field lies the path to the village school of early days. Ho still hears from his window the voice of the Sabbath bell which called his fathers to the house of God; and near at hand is the spot where his parents are laid down to rest, and where, when his time has come, he shall bo laid by his children. 4-V\sk fonlr\f tlin Awnnru r\t JL Iiunu iVIU bliO iCCJiug'i v/i VIIV unuvio v?* the soil.

Fresh Paint Emanations, Investigations ot a very interesting character, made by an experienced house paiuter in Paris to ascertain whether emanations from certain paints containing such substances as white lead, zinc while, linseed oil, essence of turpentine, coal oil, <fcc., are injuriou to liealth, show some noteworthy resalts. Ho caused the insides of some boxeB to be painted, and within them he placed wire cages containing rabbits, which were not in conta?t with the paint, but only subject to the influence of the emanations from it. The rabbits suffered wliilo the paint was fresh, especially when it contained coal oil, but none of them died. Living in apartments recently painted, and which omit the odor of oil of turpentine, is not, therefore, permanently injurious to health. Somo other tests were made for the purpose of obtaining deposits of these emanations from the fresh paintings of houses. Instead of rabbits, plates containing a small qunatity of water were placed in the boxes, and, after the water had evaporated from the plates, there were found some remarkable crystallizations like needles, consisting ol combinations in which the oils employed formed the principal part. These i crystalline combinations were obtained even when linseed oil was used. Blinded bt Electric Lioiit.?There is an instance outside of poetry o] vision blasted by excess of light. Mr, J. L.

A Battle In the Air. mi Terrific Combat Between Two Rocky til Mountain Eaglet. flQ There was a terrific battle between ev two larga brown eagles in the vicinity of a 1 the lakes above Virginia, Montana. "1 When first seen the birds were soaring, one above the other, at an altitude of pj, perhaps three-fourths of a mile, and flo seemed on a sail for pleasure. ' Present* an ly tho Uppermost bird, closing its broad ro wings, shot downward like a meteor for t?( two or three feet, and with a wild, piercing scream lit fairly upon the back ca of the other bird. Turning with the tw rapidity of lightning the victim clutched its adversary with talons and beak atld b] a fierce struggle ensued. The savage yells, the striking of huge wings, and showers of falling feathers gave un- oa mistakable evidence of the ferocity with 0f which the contest was waged. As they fought they fell earthward, ]e and when witnin five hundred feet of the bt ground they became disentangled, and each swooped upward again. Now fol- ht lowed an interesting trial as to wbich ty should first gain a sufficient altitude to QI make another plunge. The circling of ca the smaller bird was rapid and close," jn while that of his antagonist was made m with greater limit, and his ascension m was quickest accomplished. The largest eo eagle was soon fully one-half mile high, OI and seme hundreds of feet above nis 0I victim. Hovering in mid-air for a mo- re ment, as if making sure of his aim, he 01 again darted down npon his enemy, striking him as before with a force that seemed sufficient to kill of itself. Again wi they grappled, and fought like winged fs demons?whirling, falling, and striking al furiously for two or three minutes, di They were now near the largest of the lakes, and gradually descending to the water. The struggles of the smaller became less and less fierce; he was si getting weak, and was evidently nearly af vanquished, while his more powerful w enemy seemed to wage the battle with ar increased vigor. ei Another moment and the conquering p< monarch loosed his hold, and with an lo exultant shout of victory soared up- In ward. The battle was ended; his tl prisoner, limp and lifeless, fell into tl the waters of the lake with a splash, 'tl and floated on the surface without a B straggle.
