Farm, Garden and Household, Nrta Hoter. Ht One hundred years ago England produced only 16,000,000 bushels of wheat, 1 two-thirds of the crop of Minnesota. wl Now, having established good farming, she produce* 100,000,000, four times as . much as Minnesota. in It Baid that in China there is a |0' 'ring ' of middlemen engaged in 101 handling the tea crop, which swindles ?? the producers outrageeusly. Thus the tea which sells in our market at $1 a ??, pound is bought from the grower for J? 33 cents. Keports from 60 points in the corn- qq producing portions of Iowa and Illinois, j0] indicate that the area planted to this staple the present Beason was less than j0| last year, and that the yield only prom- Qf ises'half or two-thirds the general average per acre, owing to the late spring re] and the subsequent severe drougth. In an orchard where there is already mi Borne clover, a bushel of orchard grass Ar seed should be sown early in spring, wa and the ground stirred with a light fch' harrow, and then, if possible, rolled, bo This grass is very apt to bunch or stool sei when sown tinnly or with clover, and it ch is better when sown alone and thickly* ty say two to three bushels of seed per hu acre, and it loves a good rich soil and Hi endures shade very well. mi . An experiment made in England as to *n the best way to grow oaks from acorns, an shows a great advantage in planting po- th< tatoes between the rows, both crowing bu better than if separate, and the oaks to prow more in four years than they will to in six years without the potatoes. It is tei a great object to have the oaks grow as fast as possible for five or six years, foi after which their branches interlock, T1 and then each tree seems to try to out- bu grow the other, which is agreeable to da the theory of the advantage cf close ba planting. th "The Granges," whatever eteo they may do, must keep a sharp lookout for as, frauds and dead boats. A " General " ? was announced to deliver an address to ? the Patrons of Husbandry at Pelican 8 Rapids, Minn., en the 10th ulk. in the following modest terms: " The elo- j111 quent speaker invites everybody to be present, and hear one of the most mas- a* terly speeches of the age." Upon which ?n The Fergus (Minn.) Journal says: "a " While here the General was very spirited in his advocacy of the Granges, ?.v and in reply to an invitation to speak at ' Fergus, said : 4 It is not my (hie) op- .

Every farmer knows it from tic experience. Notwithstanding the ut- wl most pains and care in ploughing, the hn grass, especially if long, will bristle up wl in beards and tufts here, there, and mi everywhere, injuring alike the appear- thi ance rf the field and its capacity for on growth; for this gTass, instead of being tb< visibly present to draw nourishment for of itself and impede the growth of some- ov thing else much more profitable, should ha be buried beneath the surface to manure the soil and assist in the growth of ki! its betters. Well, do you wish to reme- he dy this great difficulty? If so, use the as chain and ball to your plough. No pi: matter what kind of a plough you have, bij try them. A piece of ordinary trace an chain will be very well. Fasten one end tei of it to your coulter, and to the 'other th end attach a round iron ball of from two ve to three pounds weight?having the ah chain long enough to permit the ball to T1 reach back to about the middle of your ga mould-board?and there let it drag a along, od the off side, of course. This is hi not a new idea?in fact it is a very old fir one?but, like good wine, age only improves it. Just try it once, and wo have he no fear of your verdict. It may not do ar< the work to absolute perfection, but it le< will perform it at least fifty per cent, an better than you can without it.?Canada yo Farmer. * ah How to Bleaeh Cotton Cloth.

"When the grain fed to a horse passes an from him undigested and he in conse- ^ quence becomes thin and hide-bound jf and rough and staring-coated, it would be advisable to give him a change of ^ food.

In addition, a teaspoonful of* finely powdered cop- j { peras, and another, heaped, of ground W| ginger, may be given daily in the feed. m Very Sharp Boys. b? One of the most ingenious and daring W1 thefts on record was perpetrated a short m time since at the village of Brierly Hill, England. A lad entered the store of a pv grocer of the place and bought a roll of th bread, which he asked the man to stuff l i ii.. i 1. ~t v.:_ i?1--i ? ? aowu me uuen. ?ji ins jucuei, us 111s cuui- UJ E anion outside would take it away from h( im if lie saw it.

" The grocer to looked in horror, and saw his watch- ^ chain dangling and his watch gone. w "There he goes ! " said his informant, ^ pointing to a figure seen going down the street; and the store-keeper immediately rushed out in pursuit, leaving the store unguarded. "When he reached the corner the supposed thief had van- hi iNhed, and returning to his store he found that during his absence the informer had emptied the till and gone off with the money. The two thieves tb have so far escaped capture. fo ? er Here is the classification of babies' di premiums at the Fair of the New- sa Hampshire Agricultural Society.

There was a funny thing happened lile I was at the Peruvian guano isids, says an old sailor, telling the Storj his way. Ton see it was agin the law to nch a bird or an egg or to fire a gun, r fear of frightenin' the birds. Well, me ihaps pullin* along in a boat one y came pretty near a pelican and uldn't resist the temptation of knock1 it on the head with an oar. Well, ay wais seen to do this from the old mmandante's hnlk, and was arrested, te captain of the ship what they beaged to was not very good friende th the commandante, and so he got o ; of American captaihs to go aboard the old dommandante's hulk,and offei pay the fine and try and get the men [eased, 'canse the captain needed em, as his ship was goin' under the mguesa' or Bhoot, the next day. nong the lot was our old man, and I ts one of his boat's crew. Well, wher ey got there the old fellow WAS Uok on ard, and learnin' where he was, thej at one of theiirgigs for him. Tlio old ep had been dinin' out, and felt pretluBhy, and he wasn't in a very good imnr n.t hftinc dinturhAd At bin fpprl s couldn't speak any English) and ighty few of the captains Understood y Spanish* so When ha came on board d gave ?o?ne order to his lieutenant ey couldn't understand what he said, it waited patiently till he was readj receive them, when they was agoin state their business through the inrpretPr, " Well, the marines Came Up and rmed on the opposite side of the deck, te captains didn't think anythin' of it, it Supposed it was some of the regulai ily drill. Well, they loaded witl: 11-cartridge ahd fixed bayonets, and en at the word of command thej arged on the poor captains, who were tanding on the other side of the deck, le first thing we chaps ih the boal iow'd of it was When we see a big fal ippe^ liamed Bearse take a flyin ip and land in the water, and our old in came near plumpin' right into the le which old Bearse had made. Ther ray come all the rest, some of the lost es getting a prod in the rear with the yonets to help them along. " 'Twas the most laughable sight 1 er Been in all my born days, and ever e skippers, mad as they was, couldn'1 lp laughing. Each bont's crev lgled out its flounderin' Bkipper, and eked him Up and took him on board ost of 'em had their watches ontr n, and these were all spoilt, of course, ell, that night they held an indigna >n meeting, and a vote was taker iether they should capture the olc ilk and hang the commandants, oi iether they should appoint a com ittee to go to Lima and complain t< e Minister ; and by a majority of onh e the committee was appointed. 1 ey had a wanted to* they had plenty force to have took the old hulk twic< er, but then you see that wouldn'l ve been the right thing. " Well, the ship what these men thai lied the pelican belonged to she goi r load and went out to sea. As soor ever he got well clear from the ship n' the captain of her fired one of his g guns. Well, that was agin the law d the old commandante sent a lieu nant aud armed boat's crew to collect e fine, which was 325.

Now will you get int< ur boat or (shakin' the cutlass at him all I make you ?' 44 Well, sir, you see these here man war officers don't like to be talked t< that way, and this lieutenant, he j is aws his cheese-knife and orders u] s men and goes for the skipper, anc ey soon had him down on deck wit! ugly gash in his head, and they tiec m neck and crop like a sheep anc ucked him down into the boat, anc i jist had sense enough left to tell tlx ite to 4 Haul down the American Aug e ship has struck.' "Well, all tho other skippers wka is aseein' the ship off?my old mai is one of 'em?they all got into thei: >ats and left, and so the old comman nte had the ship, an 1,800 ton ship th a full cargo on his hands, and he: ptain wounded and a prisoner. Well ey tools tne snip Daca ana ancnorec ir near the old hulk, Bomo doctors o e fleet "went aboard to dress the skip r's head. At first the old comman .nte wouldn't let 'em aboard, but om 'em, who talked Spanish, insisted d finally made the old man see tha i was likely to get himself into troubl he didn't look out sharp. He had pu 0 captain in double irons, but thi ictor frightened him into takin' thi ids off right away, and he even offere* let the captain go aboard of his shi] id go to sea if he liked, but the ol< ipper knew a thing worth two of that id he just sent him word that his shi] iving been captured on the high sea * had nothin' more to do with her. I is an affair now between "his Govern ent and that of Peru. " Well, the old chap found that h id put his foot in it, for as soon a 1 this was known at Lima, a man-ol ir was. sent down and the eld con. andante and his officers were all pr. ider arrest. The captain of the ship > was taken in state up to Callao, am ery attention paid him, and finally n e request of the American Minister a ima the captain again took commam ider protest, and carried the shi] >me. It cost Peru a pretty penn; ore they got all through with it, fo icy bad to pay tbe owners for tbe de ntion of the ship, and give the skip ;r a big pile for the cut in his head.

The Transportation Question. ' What a New York Merchant hM to Bay on the Subjeet. [ At the cheap transportation meeting in New York, Represented by $500,000,' 000 in capital, A. W. Tenney, in the i course of his remarks, said: The sub, ject of Oheap Transportation concerns i not the banker, the merohftnt, and the ' capitalist of our States alone, but it . concerns the mechanic, the farmer, the manufacturer, and the consumer of this I entire land. To a man of wealth it matters little what may be the prioe of . a barrel of flour or a ton of coal, but to , those ij'ohs of toil who earn their daily t bread by the sweat of 'heir brows and I the blood of their hearts it matters . much what they pay in dollars and t cents for the necessities of life. It is [ to them an earnest and sober question. ( Workmen! whv is it that you are paying $11 and $12 for a barrel of floUr when you should not pay niore than $8, j and perhaps het inore than $7 ? The ! reason is found in the great expense r necessary to transport that barrel of [ flour from the wheat-fields of the West . to the grain-marts of the East. Why is [ it you are obliged to pay $9, and $10 for coal when yoU .Shdol'd hot pay more [ than 8<3, and perhaps not more than 85 ? [ The reason is not because of the scarcity [ of coal nor the want of laborers, nor is for*If f/> Ka fnnn^ in T^liTahaflinnrf or in and around the markets of ftew r York. The reason is the great price charged by railroads for the trahsporta. tion of the kioal frotn the mines of Pennsylvania to the coal markets of [ New York. Why is it that the farmers of the West are, as a class> pooter today than they tore nve years ago? Why are their farms more habitually mortgaged, and the owners themselves deeper in debt ? The answer is simply that the labor of their hands hi& proved unremunerative, from the fact that they have been ; unable to pay the enormous freight ; charges for transporting their products to the buyers and consumers in the East. The question of cheap transportation then applies itself directly to the industrial interests of the country; and if we Wotild have general prosperity among all Classes of our citizens, we must foster and protect with jealous care the industries of the Republio. We must have the benefits of cheap transportation at once for the farming interest of Illinois, for the cotton port of Mississippi, for the coal mining of Pennsylvania, and for the manufacturing interests of New England. The interests of the North, South, East and West are mutual and reciprocal. You cannot, you cannot over-enrich one class of your citizens without correspondingly impoverishing another. True prosperity depends not upon the prosperity of a few, but upon the general prospeaity of all. The draft drawn at sight upon the blood and sinews of the door man will have to be honored and paid sooner or later by the blood and sinews of the rich man. What we want is that every man will stand shoulder to shoulder with his fellow man; and that every branch of industry shall be the equal and the counterpart of every other; as we go forth to lay the foundations of new States, developing the untold resources of this great land. I honor here to-night the City of New York for the promptness with which this stand has been taken. This is not the first time that New York has taken her place on the side of right and on the side of the people. Death from Eating Toad Stools. Thiscommunity, says a Darien, Conn., letter, has been in a state of excitement, occasioned by the sudden death of a well known and respectable lady, long a resident of the town. The circumstances of the case are as follows:?On Sunday morning last Mr. Albert Brush, a . lawyer practicing in Norwalk, son of j Mr. A. C. Brush, and Miss Lillie Brush, t his sister, went into a tract of wood, j near Noroton depot, to gather mush1 rooms. Their object in this was to j present a rare treat to their father on 1 his return from church. They obtained 1 a peck basket full of what they suppos1 ed were mushrooms, but which proved i to be toadstools?a deadly poison when taken into the stomach. They returned home very happy in their success; had t the mushrooms Pressed, and Mrs. Brush i cooked them with great skill. Mr. Brush r came from church at one o'clock, and at . once the family sat down to dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Brush and their bou ate heartir ly of the mushrooms. The daughter simply tasted, bat did not swallow any j of them. During the afternoon more f than once the conversation turned upon . the delightful meal they had enjoyed, . and how thankful they should feel that e children could exercise so much forethought in behalf of their parents. At t one o'clock Monday morning the three e who had eaten of the mushrooms were t taken deathly sick. Each arose and bes gan vomiting, at the Bame time suffere ing excruciating pains in the stomach. } Medical aid was called, but little could p be done to alleviate. Mrs. Brush, being j in delicate health, was completely prostrated. A counsel of physicians was p called, but it was of no use. She lins gered until the afternoon of Monday t and then died. No post-mortem was _ held. The physicians were in attendance, and have been persistently attenti'wo to tViA Trnnfq of thfl Rlirvivors. The C ~'v ? * 8 son is jet a great sufferer, and doubts _ arc expressed as to his recovery. The . father's condition is little, if any, imt proved, and only by the greatest care , can he be restored. The poisoning is a I subject of general conversation, the dift ference between mushrooms and toad t stools never having been brought in j question before. P y A Western Arrest. r In the Des Moines (Iowa) leader we find the particulars of a terrible combal between the Sheriff and one of the no0 torious Iowa railroad robbers. He had | jumped from a train on the Burlingtor 1 and Cedar Rapids Railroad, and the e Sheriff followed in pursuit, both being e on horseback. The robber, after riding hard for about ten or twelve miles jumped from his horse and demandec the wants of the officer, at the same time pulling out a huge revolver fron 0 his pocket. The Sheriff did not stop t< it explain. He drew a heavy loaded re ,r volver and opened fire at once. The . scene must have been an interesting one. It was a battle for life. Shoti a were exchanged in rapid succession r- until each had emptied his revolver >r The Sheriff received a shot in one leg " and one in his left arm. But, in turn I, he inflicted three effective shots upoi " his antagonist?one striking the leg, an it other breaking his right arm, aud i it third hitting him in the chest. Thi d stranger fell to the ground and suffere< ie great pain, and the Sheriffhimself afte 5- the fight became exhausted, but did no lose his prisoner. How She Became Green. Mr. Green was a good-looking man, very?he dressed well?was well posted tip in matters of business, and bad the reputation of being a smart man. Bat Mr. Green had lived thirty years without a wife. It was not his fault, for he was fpnd Of the society of the fairer sex) owned a fine house, which he rented for his board, and there were plenty of marriageable ladies in the village. How happened it then, thatMr. Green remained in a state of Single blessedness? Want of courage. Mr. Green was a coward among the ladies. True, he could pick up a lady's handkerchief, hold a skein of yarn, or give his arm in the politest manner to escort a ladv from church. He had seen at least half a dozen women he would have married, or who would have married him; but he never could muster Sufficient courage to ask either of them whether she would or not. One evening he was visiting at the Widow Smith's?Widow Smith?not twenty-six years had flown over her head, and yet shp had been tt widow three yParS, and had long put oil her widow's weeds. She was pretty, had placed her only child beside her husband in the graveyard, and 6ighed for a companion; and many a time had she remarked to her friends she wondered * ** ^ A. ?-A J.J wny xur, ureen aia not get marneu. He was an occasional caller at the house, and Would hare Married her at an hour's notice. But she did not know it. He had never whispered to her of love. He could talk about the drops, the growth of the village, the industry of the young men, and all other matters which the widow did not care to hear about, but the "one thing" which would have struck her ear as the sweetest of sohnds, he never mentioned. One eventful evening the widow was excessively annoyed by her domestics. Hardly was Mr. Green seated, when Bridget made her appearance at the door. "Miss Smith, if it plaae you," said the domestic, "will you look into the kitchen for a minate?" Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned, when the bushy head of John, the hired man, was thrust into the door, with: "Mw. Smith." "How I hate the name of Smith!" said the lady. Mr. Green's eyes dilated for a moment ?he opened his mouth and exclaimed in hurried accents: "Make it Green, ma'am?make it Green!" And in less than a month there was no "Widow Smith" in the village. The Isles of Shoals. About ton miles from Portsmouth, off the coast of New Hampshire, lie clustered together eight small islands, comprising only six hundred acies, and bearing the name of the Isles of Shoals. More than two hundred years ago these islands were famous for their fisheries, and had a resident population of several hundred persons, who sent quantities of well-cured fish to Spain and the Woof Tnrl ina TKn f/iurn nf rinflnnrf. rm Star Island, had five hundred inhabitants a hundred years ago, and was represented in the Legislature of New Hampshire. Now, by the progress of the age, the township is nearly depopulated, and a large hotel has been erected for the accommodation of summer visitors. On Appledore, formerly known as Hog Island, there is also a hotel capable of lodging five hundred guests. These Isles of Shoals seem to be but masses of jagged granite thrown up from the depths of the sea. No trees are seen, and scarcely a shrub appears, but tufts of grass spring up between projecting rocks, and once in a while a little grassy dell is found, overgrown with wild flowers. A small harbor is inclosed by these rocky crags, which affords a refuge for^small vessels in 6torms. Recently the Isles of Shoals have become quite a famous summer resort. To be sure, there are no beaches for sea bathing, driving is an unattainable pleasure, and for walks one must expect to clamber over rough granite walks. But there is boating and fishing, and, above all things, the simple enjoyment of the delightfully soft, warm, and equable climate, so free from chilly winds. These barren isles are full of romantic historic interest; and visitors generally find it most restful to lie lazily upon the sunny rocks, above the surging waves, watching the changeful sea, and reading, or dreaming of scenes long gone by?of early navigators, of shipwrecks, of Indian massacres, and wild romances of pots of gold and silver found hidden in the craggy ledges. A Story by Joaquin Miller. In Shasta County, California, some years ago," the scurvy suddenly came into a mining camp and prostrated six of the little company. They were very likely to die, for the camp was a lonely one, to which all food, medicines, and supplies, of whatever kind, had to be transported on the back of the miner, and along a rough path which led across a lofty snow-covered mountain ridge. But one of the miners, who formerly had followed the sea, recollected that lie had heard of a means of cure not beyond their reach, and to make i trial of this was at once resolved upon. , Six deep pits, dug in the shadow of a huge pine, soon laid bare the warm alluvial soil; in these the patients, stripped to the skin, were placed, and then the fresh earth was carefully shoveled back, so that each man was securely buried up to his chin. In the fitful moonlight they appeared to their watch? ing comrades like men rising in resur; rection to meet the judgment. What, . however, was the anti-scorbutic merit of this mode of treatment, their companions did not discover. The sleep of 1 the miner, when his day's toil is over, ? is not so muoh a sleep as a stupor, and , soon after the last of the buried men 'r had dozed off, their friends also found themselves drowsy; perhaps, too, they [ were a little frightened at the spectacle 5 before them?the six pale heads, with { their shocks of hair, the occasional flick) er of the moon in the blackness of the . night, whose stillness *as only broken 3 by the occasional howling of the wolf, ^ or the faint rustle of the trees. Foi s whatever cause, they at all events sought their beds and fell into a sleep, ' from which none woke till dawn. A( j that hour they went to visit their com' rades, and found that the wolves had i come down and eaten off everv one ol . the heads level with the ground. 1 2 Eugenie's mourning is said to b( 1 simple, yet veiy elegant She wears a r long black veil depending from the t bonnet down her back, and a smallei one of black tule over her faoe. Mormon Tithes. I A dozen miles from the city of Salt < Lake, says a trateler, we approached the marshes fringing the Great Salt Lake. They are miles in extent, and j were covered with large herds of fat i cattle. These grazing herds are owned j by the Church of Latter Lay Saints. I The real foundation of this church is | its tithing system. Under this system j each saint turns over one-tenth of all his earnings for the benefit of the church. Many of the Mormons pay their tithes in cattle. The chnrch herd is said to include over a million head of stock. It is a source of never failing revenue, , for the beeves are of the choicest kind and command the best prices. Tfie 1 herders are appointed by the dignitaries ' of the church, and the bishops keep a 1 nareful account of the stock.
