FARM, (JARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. All About Stock. It is very common for the farmer to answer, when some one urges him to improve the character of his stock, that the common stock is good enough for the farm. When he says this, he says t honestly?he believes just what lie says. It is a common mistake iuto which mauy farmers have fallen; and until they can be made to perceive that the common stock is not good enough, it will be a difficult matter indeed to convince them of the necessity of trying some other kind ot stocs. Wlien tins answer is made, it can only be met by the statement thut you were under an impression that it was otherwise; that you maybe mistaken, and that you will figure it over with him, and see. Better let him do the figuring, and you ask a few questions, somewhat like these, while he sets down tho results: How many acres of land does it require to graze a steer? How mnoii land does it require to raise tiio food a steer consumes during the winter? What woul i you consider this land worth per ac:e ? ' What would you consider a fair interest on the value of the laud ? How many years do you keep an animal from the* time it is c&lved until it is ready for the market as beef ? ( ) How much money will represent your idea of a fair interest on the value of the land, multiplied by the years you have had this steer on the farm ?. ( ) How much taxes have been paid on . this land during these years ?.... Your steer has grazed acres during the summer and has consumed in winter the products of acres additional. What was ft worth each year to raise these products for wiuter feeding, independent of the value of the land ? (c) What does that amount to when multiplied by the years during which vou have kept this steer ? (a) How much should be added for the labor iuvolved in years' * inter feeding ? (e) You say vou ought to have so much interest on capital employed, and yon keep this steer years; so he is chargeable with back interest?that Is, the interest you ought to have had the first year was not paid until the steer was sold at years, and you are entitled to iuterest on this interest up to the time it was paid. What does that amount to ? Now what is the aggregate of the items marked a, b, c, d, e? That will represent the cost of t e steer to the farmer, not counting the oost of maintaining the dam and sire. Now, a3k one or two questions, somewhat like these; What will this steer likely weigh, after you have kept him these years ?.. W nat will he likely sell for in the market. after deducting freight and commissions ?... Such a course of figuring, unless the land is worth next to rothing, will scarcely fail to demonstrate that the returns realized from common scrub 6tock are not satisfactory. When the farmer realizes this fact fully he will be ready to consider a proposition to try something else. The bird in the hand he considers worth two in the bush, and as long as he is under the impression that he is doing well on scrub stock, it will be difficult to induce him to change, merely for the prospect of doing better. ?Live Stock Journal. Domestic Hints. Tea Biscuit.?One quart of sifted flour and a piece of butter, or lard, the size of an egg ; a little salt; rub them well into the flour ; then add two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and mix well with the dry flour ; take one pint of good sweet milk and mix just soft enough to roll out, cut nicely with a tin biscuit cutter, and bake from ten to fifteen minutes in a hot oven, and they will be as light as foam. To Test Beef, Etc.?Good beef is soft, flue, and of an agreeable red color, lightly streaked through with, white veins. If the fat is of a yellowish white it is a sign of youth and tenderness. The best steak is what is called porterhouse steak. Ribs of beef are generally considered best for "Toasting. Chickens, to be very good, should be pioked dry as soon as killed ; their tenderness may De tested oy tne nexibiiity ol their joints and by the whiteness of their skins. Southern Corn Cake for Breakfast.?One pint of buttermilk, or if this oannot be had, use sour milk, in which case add one large tablespoonful of butter, next add one tablespoonfnl of saleratus dissolved in warm water, and two eggs well beaten. Mix the ingredients well, and add one pint of corn meal. Bake well in a quick oven. A little salt is needed if butter is not used. Orchard Grasw. Says a correspondent: I have had some five or six years' experience with orchard grass, and I look upon it as one of the best pasture grasses, if not the very best, in this region at least. It is as tenacious as, and much more abundant in the field than, the blue grass. As a hay crop I don't, as yet, think much of it, but my experience in this respect has been small. It would probably pay pretty well as a hay crop for home consumption, if cut when the bloom first begins to show, and then again in the middle or latter part of September. The stems are too coarse and hard if left to the seed. Always sow in the spring, about the time of scfwing oats, and always plow as for any spring crop and harrow in thoroughly. It is just as necessary that it should be thoroughly covered with soil. I always sow thirtyfive pounds per acre when sowing alone; twenty to twenty-.five pounds when sowing with clover. A New Scale. A farmer correspondent sends us an excellent wrinkle for finding the weight of horses or steers without scales. He sa\ s: Make a weighing stall about three feet wide with a level floor. In the latter make a recess for the platform of the scales so that the platform will be flush with the planking. Nowjead your horse or steer into the stall so that the forefeet of the animal rest on the platform and note the weight. Start him ahead until his hind feet are on the platform; note the weight again. Add the two weights inus laaen, ana tno sum will be tiie total weight of the animal." A Terrible Punishment. In Bettsville, Seneca county, Ohio, a man named Norton found a neighbor named Chapman in his house under suspicious circumstances. The infuriated husband at once drew a revolver and snapped it at Chapman, but the weapon hung fire; and as Chapman was making an effort to escape from the room, Norton caught hold of a coal oil lamp that was burning on the bureau near by, and hurled it at Chapman, striking him in the face. The lamp exploded; the pieces of glass cut Chapman's face terribly, and the burning oil ran in streams of fire over his person, burning one of his ears almost off, destroying the sight, it is thought, of both eyes, literally cooking his breast and shoulders, and burning the hair all off his head. THE CENTENNIAL GROUNDS. The Building* and How they nre Progressing. The main exhibition building will be i finished about the last of February. ! Little remains to be done except the in| terior decoration and the floor-laying, j and both are well advanced. The United States government building, a cruciform t tructure, with a largo ! glass dome, is now completed, and the portions to be occupied by the different departments are indicated by the decorations on the adjacent walls. WV.n?n "lAmn nKnnn<l oa miir.il nftlll T? LiriC |.UUnO MI/v/UUU uu ? , ments the ogricultrral department will 1 naturally be found, anchors point out the location of the navy, swords of the war j department, and so on. A signal and weather station will be erected on the grounds by the sigual bureau. There ! will also be a block-house in the rear of j machinery hall, to illustrate frontier ; warfare. In machinery hall, square feet of space have been allotted to foreign countries as follows: Great Britain, 37,125; Germany, 10,757; France, 10,139; Belgium, 9,375; Oanala, 4,300; Brazil, 4.000; Sweden, 3,168; Spain, 2,448; Kussia, 1,500, and Austria, 1,536. The Michigan building will be begun in the park in about two weeks. The whole structure, except the foundation, will be finished in Michigan. The New Jersey building is nearly finished, and makes a handsome appearance. Pennsylvania will have the largest of all the State buildings, if the Legislature appropriates the 815,000 which it is asked to give for the purpose. The plans have been made and taken to Harrisburg. Ohio's headquarters have got as far along as the foundation. Three of the great restaurants are nearly finished. These are the American, near agricultural hall, the German, close by horticultural hall, and the Southern, in Belmont avenue, close by the government building. The French restaurant, within a stone's throw of the art gallery, is going up rapidly. Au afternoon edition of the PhiladelEhia Times will be printed in machinery all during the exhibition ou one of Hoe'8 new presses. The limes will also build an office on tne grounds. The West Virginia pavilion will be near the British buildings, and will be constructed wholly of timber brought from that State. A concession for a banking office on the grounds has been granted to the Centennial national bank, a corporation just organized. Its president is E. A. .Rollins, formerly United States commissioner of internal revenue. Mr. R. J. Dobbins has been awarded the contract for erecting the annexe to the memorial hall. It will be of brick overcast and painted to imitate granite, and will cover an acre of ground. Nineteen car loads of Japanese building materials, principally bamboo, have arrived at the site of the Japanese Centennial structures, west of the government building, and a force of native workmen, imported with the materials, is engaged in putting them tegether to i make two buildings?a bazaar and dwelling house. The Japanese commission has moved out to the United States Aotel, near the grounds. A building costing 830,000 will be erected on the grounds by the brewers and malsters of the United States for the exhibition of their specialties. The narrow gauge 7M.il wflv on the cronnds is finished aud the ears will soon be put on. They will be d awn by dummy engines. The road has a double track and makes the circuit of the grounds, passing close to every | building of importance. Five cents will i be the fare. Spain has been assigned a plot of ground near the north end of machinery hall for a buildiug for the offices of her commission. The three English buildings are almost completed. Their quaint, old-time architecture is a pleasing novelty among so many modern structures. I Cheap Transportation. Mr. Hurlbut, of Illinois, presented in the United States House of Representatives a bill to provide for the cheap transportation of freight between the Atlantic and Ohio and Mississippi valleys. It provides for the appointment of live commissioners, who are to be the i operators of the line, and who are to ! subscribe for all the stock in trust for the United States, and to hold the voting power forever, and to manage (with two directors of their own selection) the enj tire business of the corporation, thus making it, strictly speaking, a government road. The stock certificates are to be used for construction expenses, and are to be received in payment of freight after the completion of the road, which is to be done in six years. The government is to receive an only mortgage on the road and fixtures (except rolling stock), and is to guarantee five per cent, interest on $12, COO per mile on forty-six years construction bonds. These bonds are not to issue until double the amount to be guaranteed has been actually expended on each section. The corporation is also to mortgage to the government as trustee iis rolling stock at $3,000 per mile, and to issue thirty-four years equipment bonds at five per cent. No bonds are to be sold at less than ninetyfive per cent. The sum of $15,000 per j mile is to be obtained on five per cent, j interest bearing stock, payable in sixteen i years, which stock is to be received in ; payment of freight, at the rate of not less than $3,675,000 per annum. The I equipment at the outset is to consist of j 875 locomotives and 17,500 cars. OneI third of all the work done and the ma [ terials furnished is to be paid for in this I coupon stock at par. It is estimated | that the road will cost 830,000 per mile ! of single track, making it cost $135,I 000,000, of which the United States is to guarantee the interest on $42,000,009 | at five per cent. Neuralgia In Women. A physician of a London hospital I writes to an English medical journal as follows : There is no recognized reason why of late years neuralgia of the face and scalp should have increased so much i in the female sex, as compared with our | own. There is no doubt that it is one I of the most-common of female maladies i ?one of the most painful and difficult I of treatment. It is al^o a cause of much mental depression, and leads more often to habits of intemperanoe than any other. This growing prevalence of neuI ralgia may to some extent be referred to the effect of cold upon the terminal branches of the nerves distributed to the skin; and the reason why men are ' less subject to it than woman may to a great extent bo explained by the much greater protection afforded by the mode j iu which the former cover their heads when they are in the open air. It may ; be observed that the surface of the head which is actually covered in man is at least three times that which fashion allows tc women; indeed, the points of contact between the hat or bonnet and the head in the latter are so irregular as practically to destroy any protection which might otherwise be afforded, SUMMARY OF NEWS.

During the discussion on tbo alleged discrepancies in the reports of the United States troasurer, Mr. Eaton (Dem.), of Connecticut, said he was engaged, about six months ago, with one of the shrewdest bankers in the United States in an examination of the finance reports from 1791 to 1874. The time oocnpied in the examination was about three weeks, and he did not hesitate to assort that there was not an aoeountant in the United States who oould take the hnanoial reports and the debt statement, and oome within $50,000,000 of the amount of the pubic debt Mr. Kelley [Dem], of Oregon, from the committee on railroads, reported with amendj meuts the Sonate bill to extend the time for the construction and completion of the Northj era Pacific railroad. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Davis [Dem.], of West Virginia, called | up the resolution submitted by him a few days | ago in regard to the investigation of the books I and accounts of the Treasury department, j The motion of Mr. Edmunds to amend the ; resolution so a* to have the investigation made by the committee on finance instead of a i I special committee, was agreed to. On motion ' of Mr. Morrill [Rep.], of Vermont, the pre- 1 : amble alleging that there were discrepancies i in the accounts of the treasury, etc., was laid j : on the table. During the consideration of the bill to pro- ! 1 vide for a commistion on the subject of the ! alcoholic liquor traffic, Mr. Sherman said the j use of spirituous liqflors was the cause of i 1 crime in all parts of the ttorld, and caused I i beggary and poverty. This vice was almost ; ! universal, aud it seemed to him that the Con- j : grese of the United States might well give the , 1 subject full and fair examination, Mr. Morrill [Rep.] of Maioe. spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Sargent [Rep J, of California, presented j | a petition sicned by a large number of ladies, I asking that a government be established in the District of Co umbia which would confer upon . women the right to vote. Mr. Christiancy [Rep ], of Michigan, sub- j mitted an amendment to the liquor bill de' daring that the commission shall bo appointed for the purpose of obtaining information ; whioh may serve as a guida to the system of ; legislation best fitted in referenos to the quee tion of rcvenuo from tho manufacture audeale of alcoholic aud fermented liquors. and the effect of the use of aaoh liquore np~n the morals and the welfare of the people.

Daring the discussion on the Centennial appropriation, Mr. Townseud (Rep.), of New York, spoke in support of the bill. Ho said if there ever had been & nation that hail reason to be proud of its achievements, it was tbo tnericau nation. It had just expended $5,000,000.000 to render it certain that the nation should exist, and had sacrificed 500.000 Uvea that the nation might have a Centennial. Mr. Stenger (Bern.), of Pennsylvania, spoke in opposition to the bill. He said that to doubt the existence of a constitutional power decided the quostion with him. He opposed the bill on constitutional grounds. Messrs. Felton (Dent), of Georgia, and Cook (Dem), of Georgia, opposed the bill, and Mr. Hanks (Iud.), of Massachusetts, spoke strongly in favor of it. Ho admitted that it had been a veuturesomo step for the United States government to a?k other nations to assist in this great celebration; but could Congress and the President invite thirty-eight sovereign States to come here to celebrate that anniversary and Congress not have a right to grant one dollar or one dime to defray the expenses of their entertainment ? The proposition to vote the sum of $1,500,000 for the Centennial, attracted much attention hi the House. Speeches were made in favor of and against the bill by a largo number of members. Mr. Lawrence (Rep.), of Ohio, said that the appropriation would be worlb many times over $l,5i!0,000; and would be a good investment and bring back more than it cost The government might save $1,500. COO by refusing the appropriation, but it might lose $100,000,000 by doing so. Mr. Randall (Dem ), of Pennsylvania, gave an indignant contradiction to the statement in a letter relative to the character of the Centennial officers, and said that a purer set of men than the members of the Centennial board never managed any enterprise. Mr. Kelley (Rep.), of Pennsylvania.?And I say amen to every word my colleague has said. Mr. Hopkins (Dem.), of Pennsylvania, had the closing hour of the debato, but surrendered a part of bus time, and speeches w re delivered by Messrs. Young (Dem.), of Tennessee, and Itandall (Dam.), of Pennsylvania. An amendment offered by Mr. Springer (Dem.j, or Illinois, requiring mo paynieu* m full to the United States treasury of any balance that may bo left in the hands of the fiuanoe committee before any dividend or percentage of the profits shall be paid to the stockholders, was agreed to. The vote was then taken, and the bill passed ?yeas, 146; na*s, 130. The announcement was greeted with applause. Bills were introduced to provide for the suspension of the sinking fund until 1830; also to amend the act authorizing the funding of the national debt; to fund the legal tender debt of the United States ; for funding legal tender notes into forty-year four per cent, gold bonds to the amount of ?400, 000.000, at a rate not to exceed ?3.000.000 a month ; fixing the first Monday of J&unaty for the time of the meeting of Congress ; also, a constitutional amendment proposiug to change the beginning of the Pi evidential term from March 4 to Mayl; to protect life cn steamships, steamboats and sailing vessels; to provide me-.ns of cheap transportation i& interior waters; to abolish the stump duty cn pioprietary medicines; to reduce tbo tax cn to* bacco and whisky, and to abolish the stamp tax on bank cheeks ; granting bounties o heirs of soldiers in the late war who enlisted for less than one year, and who were killed or died by reason of service. .

In a Close Box. A well fixed plan for the escape of a coDvict from Auburn prison was foiled. While one of the keepers was at a gro t eery, a boy who was driving a team of the prison tool shop informed the keeper that he had just come out of the I prison yard, and thought there was a convict stowed away in a large box 011 his wagon. Before the keeper oould get to the wagon he saw a convict running, and ordered him to halt, and fired three shots at him, one going through his boot leg and another grazing his side. | He was only winged and darted on. The officer pursued, intercepting the fugitive. The escaper proved to be Michael Hurley, a transfer from Sing Sing, sent twenty years for burglary in the first degree and larceny in October, 1874. He had disguised himself in overalls, overshirt and hat, and stowed himself into the box before it had been placed on the wagon. He attempted to escape through a sewer some two months ago, and was locked up for his want of succeas. The News describes the box in which Hurley stowed himself as being about three feet long, two feet wide, and sixteen inches deep. The top of the box, comprising three pieces of board, the middle piece being some fifteen inches wide, was supposed to be securely nailed on, and so required no examination. The middle piece of the cover exhibited plenty of *1 % t 1...1 iL 11 iU nail neaas, out llie nuutj were nut mere, having been cut off even with the lower surface of the cover. In addition, one edge of the cover inside had been provided with hard wood cleets to keep it in position, while the other edge was fitted with two buttons to be turned by the occupant, after curling himself up inside, thus holding the top solidly in position. Hurley, being a small man, was thui enabled to hide himself, and was loaded on the wagon without exciting suspicion. When he undid the inside fastenings, however, and raised the cover to take a survey of the chances, the driver happened to bo looking toward the box, and gave the alarm. This attempt forfeits commutation previously earned, and gives the recaptured man eighteen years and nine months yet to serve. A Queer Place for a Proposal. A story is told deserving notice, it is so unique. "Our real tragedies are never written," says some one ; our real comicalities neither. During the perils of the Deutschland, a eouple on board, who had been " courting," stood under a mast. " Get up," said the gentleman, "into the mast and I will hold vou." She obeyed, clasping the mast witli two hands, he holding up with one. While thus posed he proposed. Wliat a word for such a situation ! She accepted and vows were exchanged. They were among the saved. Mr. Jenkins expresses his belief that the drinking habits of England are owing in great measure to the want of oomfortable homes for the workingmen. A Torpedo Story. L * . '*! ( || If' \ During the bombardment of Callaoby tho Spanish squadron under Admiral Mendez Nunez, in May, 1866, writes an officer of tho English navy, we observed from the ship Mutine a large barge laden with coal, which had apparently brokeu adrift from the shore, floating about among the Spanish squadron, who at | the time were cnstaining a heavy fire from the shore batteries; consequently, ^1 ? j ji i._ muy luiuweu u wj unit t?w?jr uduuiumi, A short time afterward it floated close to her majesty's ship Mutine, and a3 we were very short of coal we thought of picking it up; fortunately, as you will see in the result, we did no such thing. The United States gunboat Wateree, being close to us at the time, sent her boats and secured it, losing no time in transferring its contents to her coal bunkers, but when about to use it in the furnace the lumps were, luckily, too large, and ou being broken disclosed small shells inside some and bottles of explosive stuff inside of others. I had this from an offlcer of the Wateree, who also informed me that it was not a pleasant sensation, the idea that they might have been " tiring up with torpedoes." a, " O wearisome oondltion of humanity!" How many wretched homes in our land ! How many heart-broken invalids ! Life with many signifies a mere onerous existence. All are subject to disease, but when health is removed the hope is neariy gone oat. f?:ekuees is equally incurred through exposure or carelessness. Especially is this true with those diseases peculiar to woman. Through her own imprudence and folly she is made to drag out a miserable existence?a source of annoyance and anxiety to her friends, and everything but a comfort aud pleasure to herself. Exposure to the cold at times when she should be most prudent, and overtaxing her body with laborious employment, are both fruitful causes of many of the maladies from which she suffers. Gradually the bloom leaves her cheeks, her hps grow ashy white, her vivacity departs, she continually experiences a feeling of weariness and general languor, aud altogether presents a ghostly appearance. What does she need ? Should she take seme stimulating drug, which will for the time make her " feel better," or does her entire system demand reparation ? She requires something which not only will reetore to health the diseased organs, but will tone and invigorate the system. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will do this. It imparts strength to the diseased p.arts, brings back the glow of health, and restores comfort where previously there was only suffering. Every iuvalid lady should send for "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," in which over fifty pages are devoted to the consideration of those diseases peculiar to women. It will be sent, postpaid, to any address, for 61.50. Adcress R. V. Pierce, M. D., World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y. Agents wanted to Beiiims vaiuaDie worK.?own.

SCIIBNCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC and MATiDRAKE PILLS. Thee* deservedly celebrated and popular medicines nave effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that " Consumption is Incurable" deteired physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to dea'h without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It Is now proved, however, that Consumption con b? cured, and that it Aa, hem cured in a very great number of casee (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenok's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and In other cases by the same medlotne in oonneotkm with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one ttme, to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced hie case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since bit recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable sncoesa Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their longs examined, and for this purpose be is professionally at his prinoipal office, Corner Sixth and Arcn Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice most be addressed. Schenck's medicines arc sold by all druggists. The Markets. HEW YORK. Beef Oattle-Prime to Extra Bullocks C D @ 18j* common to ttooa xexans u<;?<9 Milch Cows 60 00 $86 00 Hogs?
