' Alice Beauchampe, amazed at her own
courage, stood silent amidst the smoke of]
her own pistol. She saw the bacchantes
try to shake off their torpor at the sight
oil their stricken leader, and one rose to
bis feet to fall as soon as he needed sup?
port.

An hour passed' away, and the drunken
tories began to recover; their, chief, who
dropped to the floor, seemed to sober them
with. his. cold face and staring eyes, arid j
when they had all, recovered their scat?
tered wits, the foe they dreaded, was .upon
them. .
j Alice.Beauchampe's voice had fired the
hearts of the patriot band for vengeance.
On her way to the swamp she had en?
countered the partisans who had captured
one of the flying horses, and were follow?
ing the trail.
The conflict between .patriot and tory
was brief and almogt bloodless,'
' The.five avengers were made prisoners,
and sued like cowards for the mercy they
bad never granted to a living being.
11 need not describe the scene that fol?
lowed. Suffice it to say that the trees in
front of Alice Beauchampe's home bore
the strangest (fruit that ever hung from
Jiving, limb.
The vengeance of the patriots was as
complete as it was terrible, and when the
?glorious sun rose, again, the dreaded men
of the'lofely district had ceased fo' fright?
en people .with thefr name.
j Alice Beauchampe, whose courage had
led.to the extermination of the avenging
band, became the heroine of the day, and
after the termination of the hostilities ,
wedded a lieutenant of Marion's men.

? j A lady well koownih' theHlurd ward,'
and the' wife of a prominent: manufac?
turer, has been for three years afflicted
?with paralysis, which deprived her of the
use of her limbs. In her helpless state
she had to be' taken bodily to and from
h,er chairv Various doctors were con-'
sulten^exMrrmenfe with electricity were
maj^iajtt n nth i ng.. was left.untried that
would afford relief. But all efforts of
the medical men were unavailing, their,
visits ceased unless specially urged t?
call, and while not wholly abandoning
the case, yet theV. very broadly intimated
that it was hopeless to expect any perma?
nent benefit from the'physician's skill.
So matters stood when the articles on
!lue grass "appeared iuV Htieseicolumns:
little attention was at first given to the
matter..but-as reiterated statements were |
made of the beneficial effects' derived
from blue glass sunbaths it was deemed
of sufficient importance to -give the mat?
ter-a trial. If no geod effects followed,
ce^ftiyjP?Jnjur^'.could result from so
harmless an"experiment, while the theo?
ry of thejafficacy- of - blue glass ?ould be
satisfactorily- tested: Accordingly the.
husband of the sick* lady had 'the lower
sash of two of the parlor windows glazed
with blue glass in the manner recom?
mended- by General Pleasonton. The
parlor fronts south on Transit street, and
in the morning the sunlight streams
through the south blue glass window.?
The other is a side window looking to
the west, and along in the afternoon the
sunlight pours through the blue glass
window, so that for several hours ot the
'day.,the patient can sit and receive the
sunlight. The husband had not a par?
ticle of confidence in the blue glass theo?
ry/but cheerfully acquiesced in the ex?
periment, being willing to go to any ex?
pense or inconvenience to have bis wife's
health' restored. About ten days ago the
blue glass arrangement was completed,
and' toe next succeeding pleasant day,'
when the sun was shining, the experi?
ment commenced. The lady was carried
to'the p?Tl?r and left sitting in her chair,
the,other members of the family with
drkwJngJi In'the > course of an hour. or.
twotfie family was startled by a noise in
the parlor, learning that a lady had fall?

lor, what was their astonishment to find
that she had actually arisen and walked
across the floor. Strength had returned
to her limbs, she was able to move her
feeVaiid immediately incredulity in the
efficacy.of blue glass was banished from
that house. This was the first day's ex?
perience, but subsequent experiments
Only confirmed the confidence of the
household, and the husband who at first
"pooh-poohed" the whole thing, is'now
one of the firmest believers. It has done
great good,- and- .wbiio a cure has. not
been by any me?n? effected, yet very good
results are looked for.
j Cabbage Leaves and Blue Glass.
From the Neiv York World.
' The uses of the segregated cabbage-leaf
are comparatively few and unimportant.
It enters into competition with American
epic poetry as an euvelope for pats of
butter and steaks ; it is the base of those
best Havana cigars in town which toxi
Cological tobacconists Bell eight for a
quarter; it serves to baffle too curious
infant inquirers into the question of the
origin of man. In medicine it figures
fa Btirns, if w* remember aright?as a
rude but ready aid to scientific diagnosis.
Of late, however, it has aspired to a much
more pretentious part, since Mr. Blane,
an eminent physician of Paris, has just
published a book on the cabbage cure,
Showing that the leaves of the ordinary
cabbage are for the healing of all nations
Afflicted with ulcers, sores, boils, rheu?
matism, gangrene, .'fever and erysipelas.
Ifhese numerous uses in conjunction with
he excitement over the discoveries of
General Pleasonton, convey a whole host
of suggestions even to the scientific mind.
It stands to reason that if blue glass be
so good and green cabbage leaf be so
good, the curative purposes of glass and
cabbage leaf must result in boundless
benefit. All that will remain to be done
will be .to grow the cabbage under blue
glass fTamesJ^tntis happily oombihing

In the bright lexicon of eternal youth
there will in the future be inscribed but
two words. Man shall sit Ander his blue

of the leaves of the hassica, death and
'disease not daring to molest him, neither
making him afraid. To insure that sur?
vival of one's powers, acquaintances, aff

to consider desirable, one will but need
at sunrise to repair to his blue glass house

of stones du-ing his occupancy thereof,)
there to bask in. the actinic rays of the

I the night wherein' he shall draw the

( Fancy Farmers.
The Chicago Times has a few. truthful
paragraphs describing fancy farmers,
, which read as follows:
? No class of men . have bfeen ridiculed
so much, and none have done so much
good, as those who are denominated fan?
cy farmers.. They have been, in all times
. and countries, the benefactors of the men.
who have treated them with' derision.?
They have been to farmers what inven?
tors have been to manufacturers. They
have experimented for the good of the
world, while others have simply worked
for their own good. They tested theo?
ries, while others have raised crops for
market. They have given a dignity and
glory to the occupation of farming it
never had before.
Fancy farmers have changed the wild
boar into the Suffolk and Berkshire ; the
- wild bull of Britain into the short horn ;
tlrepiountain sheep, with its lean body
and hair fleece, into the Southdown and
the Merino. They broupht up the milk
. cows from pints to gallons. They have
lengthened the sirloin of the bullock,
deepened the udder of the cow, enlarged
'the ham-of the hog, given strength to the
, shoulder of the ox, rendered finer the
wool of the sheep, added fleetness to the
speed of the horse, and made beautiful
every animal that is kept in the service
of man. . They bare improved and has?
tened the development of all domestic
animals, till they hardly resemble the
creatures from which they sprang.
Fancy, farmers introduced irrigation
and nnder-draining, grindiugs and cook?
ing food for stock. They brought guano
from Peru, and nitrate of soda from Chili.
They introduced and domesticated all the
brants we .have of foreign origin. They
.brought, out the theory, of rotation of
.crops as a natural means of keeping up
ana increasing the fertility of the soil.
They first ground up gypsum and bones,
and treated the latter with acid to make
manures ot .a peculiar, value.? The first
analyzed soils, as a means of- determin?
ing what,was wanted .to increase their
fertility. They introduced the most im?
proved methods of raising and distribu?
ting water.
Fancy farmers, or fancy horticulturists,
have given us all our varieties of fruits,
vegetables and flowers. A fancy farmer
in Vermont, a few years ago, originated
the Early Rose potato, which added
millions of dollars to the wealth of our
country and proved to be a most impor?
tant accession in every part of the world
where it was introduced. Another of
these fancy, men originated the Wilson
strawberry, ) and .another,- the i Concord
grape. It was a fancy farmer who brought
the Osage orange from Texas to the,
Northern States. 4
Among the men in this country who
were classed as fancy farmers at an early
day, were Washington, Jefferson, Frank?
lin and Livingston: I The: first introduced
mules; the second, the cultivation of im?
proved rice ;"the th'ird,'thsruse Of landpras*"
ter, and the fourth, the raising of lucerne.
More than any -men of their time did
they add to the wealth of the country, j
After them came another race Of fancy
farmers, who introduced Arabian horses,
Spanish sheep, and the improved breeds
of cattle and swine. These fancy far?

* The Pig for the South.?Black'or
slate-colored pigs are freest from skin
diseases in hot climates. The choice is
practically between the Essex and Berk?
shire for males with which to improve
the native stock of hardy grubbers of the
root-or-die ?variety., KTho8e .who have
tried the former have -been, delighted at
first, but after a few yeafs^egin to recall
with longing the lean hams and thin but
solid and flavorous bacon of the old race
horse breed.. The trouble with .the Essex
-pigs for the South is that they are not ac?
tive enough. They are of the eat-and
sleep, ana sjeep-and-wake-to-eat kind,
and their grades are, of course, like them.
The side fat is superb, and so is the leaf
lard, and so far the breed is all that could
be desired; but the- .hams and shoulders,
are too fat for profit,.and the ham is. not
marbled with dat like, the Berkshires.
These (the Berks) are much more enter?
prising, more wide awake, less easily con?
trolled, but good foragers. TJieir grades
are a wonderful improvement upon the
original stock, mayTie .made vSry fat.
and.yet the proportion-hetween fat ana
lean in the hams, shoulders and side pork
or bacon is such as to develop and pre?
serve the excellencies of the meat. The
hams are large and rich, and juicy with
diffused fat. Berkshires are not quite so
easily fattened when penned and system?
atically fed' as the Esses, grade, but they
will take much better care of themselves
in the ivoods, and whenpenned for fat?
tening may he finished Oft with half the
feed the original "land pikes" would re-,
quire.
With many Northern and Western
breeders the Essex is a more profitable
pig than the Berkshire, because his ma?
ture leads him to take little exercise1, so
that all he eats goes to flesh and fat.
Respiration, which, if rapid, reduces fat
greatly, is with him never accelerated by
moving^ about,- and, with plenty of feed,
the sole burden of life is to digest it
This breed is pre-eminent among the
?black breeds,- and excelled by none as fat
producers.?American Agriculturist.
'' Delicate-' Bread' - Pudding.?Take
four rolls; steep in one quart of tepid
milk until dissolved; then place over the
fire until nearly boiling ; take off and
pour it into a bowl containing the yolks
of three eggs and one-quarter of a pound
of sugar, beating rapidly the while; as
soon as quite cold, beat the whites to a
stiff froth; add to the mixture very care?
fully a teaspoonful of vanilla; bake in
buttered cups stood in a baking pan half
full of boiling water until on withdraw?

Use the following orange sauce: Place j
on the fire in a porcelain saucepan one-!
quarter of a poundj'of white sugar, one
half pint water, juice of one large orange,!
and the rind, cut off exceedingly thin ;
boil five minutes, strain, add one glass
of rose water. '
