To Make a Corn Marker. A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer gives the following method of making a simple corn marker: Take a plank seven feet long, sixteen inches wide, and one and one-half inches thick. Pin this on three blocks, five by eight inches thick and sixteen inches long, putting one block at each end and one in the middle. With this length the marker is easily turned at the ends. For a tongue, get a smooth, tough pole, and fasten it to the center of the plank in such a way that, when the team is hitched up, the marker will stand level. Now take a lath, one by two inches thick and ten and one-half "feet long. Drive a staple into the plank at ^ach end of the marker and one in the middle. Pass the lath through one outside staple and the end just through the center staple. Fasten a chain to the outer end, and the marker is completed. The chain marks where the middle block or marker must fellow the next time across. The lath must be shifted at each end so as to keep the chain on the unmarked land. When using it, stand on the middle of the plank and keep the tongue directly over the chain mark. If the first mark was made straight, all the rest will be so, and equally distant apart. If desired, the lath may be fastened to the middle of the plank with a bolt, so that it can be turned from side to side without lifting. Secure it in position by another bolt, passed through the lath and plank, near the ends of the latter. Orchard and Nursery. All ground in which young trees are set should be cultivated, so that they may have a chance to grow vigorously and ripen their wood properly. If any * trees set last fall are found to be bent by winds, these should be straightened up and the soil pressed down firmly around the base of the tree. A few large stones placed over the roots will keep trees in their proper positions, and this is often a good way to dispose of surplus stones; but care must be used in cultivating around the trees, else the weeds will grow rapidly among the stones and rob the trees of much nutriment Grafting may be done this month at any time provided me cions were cut Defore their buds started, and well kept. Trees bearing only inferior fruit may be grafted, and made valuable. Transplanting seedling trees from the seed bed to nursery rows should be done early, so that they will be well established by the time droughts come on. Some means of shading should be used for all young evergreens and other tender trees. Set root-grafts at once in nursery rows at a sufficient distance to allow of horse cultivation. Insects must be fought, and tentcaterpillars, canker-worms, bark-lice and borers kept off, and destroyed in some way as soon as they appear.?Agriculturist. Born Ins Rubbish. Whether this is the best time to burn garden rubbish is a question susceptible of considerable discussion, but it is the popular season. Great care should be taken in the composition of the burning heaps. If there are no old rubbers handy, a length of oilcloth makes a very good substitute. There is, of course, nothiDg that emits the peculiar flavor oi burning rubber, unless it is hair, but hair is too costly to be considered for a moment. A piece of old oilcloth about three feet or so in length, subjected to a slow flame, can be smelled by the most ordinary nose the distance of four gardens, and to many it is just as satisfying as burning rubber. It is best that the man should gather the rubbish. This is so evident as to be not worthy of any discussion. A woman with a long handled rake is more dangerous than a wet cellar. What rubbish she gets together scarcely compensates for the damage to the rake or to herself, or to any one who happens to be in the same yard at the time, and is too gallant or too helpless to take the nearest fence at a flying leap. # ?= ^ At the annual convention of gypsies, held at Joliet, 111., the chief laid out the route to be pursued by each band during the year. \ THE MEXICAN MUSTANG. Ills Woncerlul Powers of EnduranceHow They are Trained lor Racing. Thirty of the mustangs lately brought from California were entered at the race in Fleetwood park, New York, each of them being expected to run ten miles in half an hour to make the wagered three hundred miles in fifteen hours. They are small, light horses, averaging fourteen handi three inches, and weighing about one thousand pounds each. All are about five years of age and as wild as so many buffaloes. Prettier animal b were never seen, xxi spite ex iud uiuwiir and crosses, poothooks and letters that their various owners have burned in their flanks, and although their shaggy coats are strangers to the currycomb and brush the natural beauty of their well propoitioned bodies, muscular and finely fashioned legs and proudly held heads, is still apparent. They have been shod for the first time in their lives and resented the performance of tht operation so lustily that some of them had to be thrown upon their backs, others were slung in midair, and still others were held by as many men as could gather around them. When all were shod, Reilly, the blacksmith of the settlement, looked as though he had been worsted in a prize fight. His nose was torn upward, his shoulder and shins skinned, his cheek gashed and one arm terribly bruised. " Thank God 1" said he, when the thirty were shod, " they've left me so I can stand up." The Californians and Mexicans with the animals were brought up among the fiery creatures, and understand them as they do each other. At the training, after the animals were lassoed, each rider buckled on his mustang a great cumbrous Mexican saddle, weighing forty pounds and looking like a leather cradle, hung his long check rope in a coil at one side, donned his cruel longspiked spurs, fitted a great, curbed and, sharp-blated bit in his horse's mouth, ] and watched his chance, while the ani mal reared and plunged ana snortea, to leap upon its back. Once on, the ranchman rode like mad, the animals starting with a series of frantic leaps, then subsiding into a steady, rapid gallop, tossing mud and stones behind them, and disappearing rapidly below a hill. In a moment they returned, panting from exertion and bleeding at the mouth from the wounds their bits had inflicted. A rider threw away his bit and bridle and trusted to a halter. After a race of ten minutes, he was glad to be rescued from his unmanageable steed by another horseman, who fastened the end of the runaway's halter to the pummel of his own saddle, and brought the horse to a sudden stop. In the zaoe at four o'clock in the morning Francisco Peralto vaulted into his place on the back of the initial broncho, rode like mad until the creature wavered, jumped then upon one of four saddled steeds, and so continued riding and exchanging horses until seven o'clock in the evening. Fifteen hours on the backs of vicious mustangs, without rest, food or drink ! The endurance of the man seems to dwarf the bottom and speed of the horses. To win the wager, the animals, each in his turn, had to oover ten miles in something less than thirty minutes. The fearful rack and strain upon the Mexican can be imagined. Troubles of Newspaper Life, Custer City ha9 reached the third stage in Western metropolitan progress ; it has passed from being a " city " and having a blacksmith's shop to the possession of a newspaper. The first number of the Black Hills Weekly Miner, a journal, whose motto very appropriately is " Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may," has appeared. It has not been printed witnout aimcuiues. In the first place, the intelligent compositor, who is also pressman, pnt the first page where the fonrth should be and vice versa, thus producing a newspaper which reads like the Hebrew, from the end backwards to the beginning. The editor suggests, with a jocularity which perhaps he did not feel, that? and here let it be said that unhappily the Miner 8 font of type was short in the two essentials of capital "T's " and all "W's"?"all those who wish to read the Miner will do so without trouble if they will only stand on their heads." The Miner contains a valuable commercial department; its price list, its readers are informed, is "corrected weekly." Some of the items are appended : Whisky, per gal., $17.50; flour, per lb., 15 a 16 ; bacon, per the pound, $00,60; wagon wheels, per each, $20.00 ; sugar, brown, 37c. per lb.; mules, per span, $150 a $200 ; revolvers, $6 to $9.25 ; vinegar, 1.20 cts a gal. Even in advance of the appearance of his first issue, the editor seems to have provoked local jealousies. Thus he says in a local item*: A being whom it were gross Flattery to call an idiot talks of starting an opposition newspaper. Which of hi3 i wives will this GREEN young man bring to ouster city as his womanaging editor, the one which he used to beat at Newburyport, Mass., or that woman he deserted at Creston, Iowa? We know the raskal. the Sidney Clarion says there is no gold in the Black Hills, the Sidney Clarion may be right, though we think it is wrong when it says so, but whose feet are so big that he is tallest when he is Ivinc down? Will our contem poraryreply ? We never were mistaken for Big-Foot Wallace. Let us liave peace. Chinese Wash Houses. More Chinamen are employed in San Francisco in laundry work than in any other kind of labor. In all parts of the city their wash houses are to be found, every square block containing from four to six establishments of the kind. Nearly all the hotels, and many of the public institutions employ them, and the washings of nine-tenths of the fami, lies in the city are performed by them. A system prevails among these Chinese 1 laundrymen whereby the item of shop 1 rent is reduced to the most economical ' figure. Two wash firms occupy the same premises, and use the same tubs ' and materials, one firm working during daylight, and at dark surrendering the shop to the other, who occupy and use it until morning. By this system there ! is also a saving in water and fuel. As a general thing Chinese laundrymen are better ironers than washers. The prices ' charged by these laundrymen are of course less than those fixed by the American and French. All the work . is done by hand, the average Chinaman not caring to meddle with the mysteries of steam or complicated machinery. All bundles are collected and returned in clothes baskets, and not one of these establishments runs a wagon. Most of the wash houses here are jrab-agencies i for the different lottery schemes maintained by the Chinese, deriving a small percentage on all ticket sales. Centennial Facts and Fancies. The Centennial commissioners hold private meetings daily, and almost as often discuss the liquor and Sunday questions. They are disposed to annul some of the regulations made by the j board of finance, and a majority has : been counted upon as favoring the < opening of the grounds on Sundays. A resolution before the board of com-; missioners provides for a committee of- i three Americans to confer with representatives of foreign countries for the purpose of devising and recommending a Dlan for a uniform basis of coinage. More than one case on the Exhibition grounds is filled with relics of Washington. In these can be seen the clothes worn by him on the most memorable occasions of his life?his swords, camp furniture, tents and other objects of great interest connected with his campaign. Cattle said to be the heaviest and best in the world have arrived at Philadelphia for exhibition?among them an ox weighing 4,000 pounds and a heifer i weighing 3,300 pounds. There is a Centennial medical department to which those suddenly taken ill may be carried. Thirty or forty cases of exhaustion have occurred on the grounds, with others of laceration, fracture and bruise. The "official catal gues" sold on the Centennial grounds are stigmatized by alias "wretchedly careless and useless compilations." The Centennial fire department consists of 169 men, divided into three companies, one of which continually patrols the buildings, while the extinguishers and fire-plugs are numerous enough to meet any possible demand for their use. Complaint in Philadelphia has begun of extortionate prices. An indignant bre&tfaster avers that he was charged $2.05 for one little beefsteak, bread and tea; and another asks the sympathy of the public inasmuch as he was bled to the tune of $1.25 for "a very plain lunch." One of the interesting features on the grounds to American untraveled eyes is the Arab family from Tunis, consisting of a father, mother and two children. They are located at the Tunisian bazaar on the grounds, in charge of an Oriental ! coffee house, which will offer the attractions of Arab music and dancing. The woman is only eighteen years of age and is a fully developed specimen of Oriental beauty, with large and voluptu ons eyes and a perfect form, enhanced by the brilliant costume of the Orient. Tnnisian bazaar, be in cr in strong contrast to the elements of Western civilization, will undoubtedly become a popular resort In order to repay the money contributed by the United States, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia and private subscribers to Centennial stock, the Exhibition will have to net $8,000,000 over its running expenses. To earn $8,000,000 the receipts must average more than $50,000 for everyone of the one hundred and fifty-nine days of the show. This will require a daily attendance of 100,000 paying visitors. An African Duel. Capt. Bob. Danlap related to me the circumstances of a duel which he once witnessed a little ways inland from the town of Juba, on the river of the same name, upon the eastern coast of Africa, and nearly under the equator. It was certainly not such a duel as our heroes of lighter complexion would delight in, nor yet such as they could feel pride in ; but, after all, it evidently yielded entire satisfaction, and was full as sensible as shooting with pistols, or chopping and stabbing one another with knives and 8 word 3. In the case of these sons of the Afric shore, as is not unusual elsewhere, a woman was at the bottom of the difficulty. At the appointed time the duellists, two stalwart savages, nearly naked, appeared upon the field of honor, each armed with a stout rawhide cat, or triple-thonged whip, capable of inflicting the most tremendous blows?blows that might make an ox bellow. Having arranged the few necessary preliminaries, they pitched three ostrea shells each at a given mark to decide which of the two should reoeive the first lashing. The unfortunate loser immediately took his stand, and received, without flinching, the given number of blows?flveand-twenty. Then came the turn of the other, who, with heroio firmness, offered his back to the sufferer, whose arm was not made lighter by the pain and the loss of the pitch. Thus they alternated until one gave in; and, had the umpires judged that the twain had suffered sufficiently before either would give up, they were at liberty to stop the duel, and award the victory to him who had borne the greatest number of blows without flinching. And ever after the scarified backs of these heroic men were displayed in token of their honor and their bravery. A Grecian Brigand. The Pall Mall Gazette says : The rereturn of a retired brigand to active professional duties is announced from Greece Petko, one of the most eminent robbers of his time, who had amassed sufficient wealth to enable him to lead the life of a peaceful citizen at Athens, has become disgusted with the ennui of respectability, and has betaken himself to Trace?the scene of his former exploits?where he is roving and plundering with great success, and with all his former activity. He has lately captured a young woman, for whom he demands a heavy ransom, and has also announced his intention 'of murdering some intimate friends, who have, in his opinion, mismanaged some property he left under their care. His proceedings excite unusual interest and admiration, because they are conducted from a pure love of brigandage and not from necessity. Petko the other day nearlv lost his life while scaling the wall of a house in which lived a lady whom he much admires. A Circassian zaptieh seeing Petko ascending the wall, fired at the venerable thief, who, however, was happily untouched by the shot, and, sliding to the ground, took to his heels and fled with really marvelous activity. To be Beautiful. The late Dr. Harriet R. Hunt was once asked how she managed to keep plnmp and fair in March and April, when everybody else was green and yellow. " Oh, I should look like other people if I didn't take care of myself," she said. " And what do you do ?" "I eat dandelion greens," was the answer. "I buy the first that come into market, and I eat them every day. I have them boiled in water, settled a little, and all the spring I make my din< ner of them and a bit of potato, and so I {don't get bilious." SUMMARY OF NEWs.

She is said to have possessed a very irritable temper and her name has become a synonym of "vixen," or " scold." Is .is more than possible, howover, that the judgment passed npon her by mankind has been too severe. more charitable disposition wonld undoubtedly have discovered in her many good qualities, and have attributed her failing more to physical infirmities than to moral obliquity. The party moet intimately acquainted with her, and therefore best able to form a correct opinion, gives her credit for many domestio virtues. It is now well known that many of the diseases to which women are subjeot have a direct tendency to render them irritable, peevish, cross, morose, unreasonable, so that they ohafe and fret over all those little ills and annoyances that a person in health would bear with composure. It is fair to infer that most of the tantrums of Xantippe were due to these causes alone; and oould Socr&tee, as he returned from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle & Mortar's drug store and carried home a bottle of Dr. R. V. Pierce'j Favorite Prescription, now and then, no doubt he might have evaded many a "curtain lecture," allayed many a "domestic broil," made it muoh pleasanter for the children, and more enjoyable for himself, and rescued his wife's name from the unenviable, world-wide and eternal notoriety it has attained. Thousands of women blees the day on whioh Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was first made known to them. A single bottle often gives delicate and suffering women more relief than months of treatment from their family physician.
