A Ycteran Defending the Stars and
Stripes.
A correspondent of the Nan Francisco
Chronicle, writing from San Louis Obispo,
rclntes the following:
On last May-day, at a picnic held in a
grove near Cayucos, Nan Louis Ot.istKj
County, a man by the name of Parks, a
Noutln-rn Methodist preacher, said some
thing that came near immortalizing him.
On entering the grove he saw the stars
and stripes floating on the breeze, and be
naid, in tones loud enough to be beard by
those around him : 44 There, if it was not for
that rag flying yonder, through which I
have shot many a hole, we might enjoy
ourselves to-day." In saying this Parks
echoed the sentiments of some few who,
like himself, forgot that the rebellion is
over; but there were some loyal parties
present w ho took exceptions to the re
mark. The day was npent enjoyably,
notwithstanding the 44 rag," and nothing
more was heard of tlfc atlair until last
Sunday.
It appears that a man by the name of
Miller, living at Morro, a little town on
Morro Bay, made up bis mind to remind
the disloyal leader of the innocent that
he resides in America, and has conse
quently no right to show in public any
disrespect for the flag. This Miller had
been a soldier under the flag. He is a
pensioner, having been shot and terribly
wounded during the war. On hearing
that Parks w as to preach in the school
house at Morro, Miller folded a large flag
under his arm an hour before service,
and spread its folds over the black-board
directly in the rear of the pulpit.
The preacher came at the appointed
time. On entering the door bis lip
curled, his eyes flashed indignantly, and
his whole appearance indicated that
something beside prayer as in his heart.
Miller, the soldier, sat in his seat, firm
as a young howitzer, watching the
enemy.
The preacher came in with a party at
whose house he had been dining, and on
seeing the American ensign said:
"Who put that rag up there? I'll tear
it down."
And upon this he proceeded to the
stand, intent on carrying his threat into
execution.
Miller arose and told the Gospel man
he had better let that little job out. It
was the American flag, and if he preached
in that house he must do it under the
stars and stripes.
Another party, in sympathy with the
preacher, rushed forward at this, re
marking that he would tear the infernuj
rag down. Miller said to him,44 Mr. ,
I have fought under that flag; it is my
country's llag; I am a loyal man, and I
tell you not to touch that ensign. That
flag shall not come down to-day, except
over my dead body."
The enraged gentleman backed out.
His wife thought she would take a hand.
She said with emphasis, and with a
piping voice, 44 I'll tear the thing down."
The gallant hero who had defeated the
whole outfit thus far did not swerve even
in the face of a female battery. He told
the lady she had better go home to her
babies, and then shut the door in her
face. The entire field was now left to
the brave Miller.
The praying party went down into
Morro. Parks asked who put up 44 that
rag" in the school-house. A man told
him that it really didn't matter. He pre
sumed it was the sentiment of the good
people of Morro, and if he didn't like it
he could emigrate.
Tims ended the latest victory of the
Union forces. Preacher Parks had better
sell out his small interest in the Christian
cause and go to herding grasshoppers.
The attair has created a sensation
throughout San Luis Obispo County.
The Honrs of Work for Children.
"We favor the establishment of a socie
ty for the prevention of cruelty to chil
dren. There arc many ways of beingcruel
to children besides applying the rod or
the whip to them; andoneof these ways
is to put them to work at too early an
age in factories and shops. The French
National Assembly recently passed a law
on the labor of children and girls under
age which will go into effect one year af
ter its publication. Iiy the terms of this
law no child can be engaged in labor be
fore he has completed his twelfth year.
In some of the lighter kinds of work,
however, it allows children of ten years
of age to be employed; but then the
hours of labor must never be more than
six a day. Children of twelve years of
age.it is provided, shall not be engaged
more than twelve hours a day. Girls un
der age arc not permitted to work at
night. Inspectors arc appointed whose
business it is to sec that the law is obeyed.
The question of the employment of la
bor is receiving, as it deserves, a great
deal of attention in Europe. Manufac
turers in Germany arc not permitted to
employ children under twelve years of
age. Bovs from twelve to fourteen are
permitted to work only six hours per day,
and are required to attend school during
three hours a day the w hole year round.
Jletween their fourteenth and sixteenth
years they arc allowed to be employed
during ten hours. In Germany, however,
trfhese provisions arc little more than a
dead letter. The convention of the
Economists held recently at Eisenbach
demanded therefore the absolute prohi
bition of the regular employment of chil
dren under the age of ten, and that no
children, male or female, should, under
any circumstances, be employed longer
than ten hours a day. The convention
recommended, also, the creation of Gov
ernment agents to watch over the enforce
ment of the law.
In England, children between eight
and thirteen years of age may be em
ployed during six hours, and after that,
till they arc eighteen years old, during
fifty-eight a week. Mr. Mundella re
cently advocated in Parliament that the
limit of age should be fixed higher, and
that the number of hours of labor per
diem should be diminished. In Austria
the legal duration of labor for children
between ten and fourteen years of age is
ten hours; for children between fourteen
and sixteen years, twelve hours. The
Canton of Zurich, in Switzerland, per
mits seventy-seven hours of lalor a
week, with two half-days of school a
week, between the ages of twelve ami
sixteen. In Helgium there is as yet no
legislation on the subject. Hut it is said
that public opinion demands it. The
United States, or some of them, might
learn a useful lesson on this head from
the older countries. This is a branch of
legislation loo apt to be neglected in
this country. It is not only mercy to the
little creatures that demands they
shall not be made beasts of bur
den, hut the mercenary interests of
their employers even plead for them
Viewed only as an economic machine
as an instrument or a tool it is still best
that a man should not be used in the
present at the expense of all future util
ity. Chicago Tribune.

A Woman's Pilgrimage.
A -woman passed through Truckec at
fire o'clock yesterday morning w no nas
walked the entire distance from Kansas
City. She has followed the railway track
.lncvlv nnd has been some fifty days in
making the trip. Nearly every conductor
...i hi-ukomsin on the railway between
I UVI --.-
Omaha and Truckee have observed her
as they passed her on tne respective
trains- She was very reticent in conver
claimed to have a recreant
husband somewhere m California whom
she was seeking, in umerous ouers crc
made to her of a ride on the I freight
trains, all of which she peremptorily re
fused. She declined trusting herself to
the dangers and uncertainties of railway
travel, anawainea every --j-Her
dress consisted of a pair of loose
Turkish trowsers made of canvas, similar
in texture to that used by miners for hose
hydraulics. A wool sack protected
her neck and chest, and a small bite
shawl was wrapped around her shoul
der? In height and size she was rather
bllow the mfdium. Uer features were
rather coarse, and, as may be supposed,
severely bronied by exposure to the sun
fnd weatner. Thestance fro m Wm
nemucca to Wadsworth-139 miles--6he
made in four days, at the rate
of thSy-fourmiles a day. She made no
halt in passage through Truckee. A great
many persons here were aware of her com
ing, but thought she would not make her
grand entry until about the middle of the
forenoon yesterday, but the walk of this
remarkable pedestrian was 44 mysterious
and past finding out," and she strode on
ahead of time, arriving here at such an
early hour that scarcely a dozen were

aDie to lane ouservauous oi . me event.
It has been the intention to give this
woman a sort of triumphant reception in
Truckee (and surely the occasion war
ranted it), but she stole the march on us
and passed alonfrapidly, silently and de
terminedly, as if bent on an important
mission, the fulfillment of w hich admitted
of no delay, circumlocution, speech-
making, nor public receptions. The case
is, wc venture to say, one of the most
singular on record. It has more signifi
cance than the forthcoming transit of
Venus or the petty walks of such pedes
trians as Weston. What will be the fate
of that truant husband of hers when she
gets her hands fairly locked in his hair it
is not difficult to conjecture. Better
would it have been for him had he never
been born. There will not be rocks nor
mountains enough in California to cover
him from her enraged sight. Truckee

A SmngglerN Narrative.
44 Wk shall be, my deamadame' said
to a fellow-passenger in the Dieppe
boat, taking out my watch, but keeping
my eye steadily ujon her, 44 we shall be
in less than ten minutes at the custom
house." A spasm a flicker from the
guilt within glanced from her counte
nance.
44 You look very good-natured, sir,"
stammered she.
I bowed, and looked considerably more
so to invite her confidence.
44 If I was to tell you a secret, which I
find is too much for nie to keep to
myself, Oh! would you keep it inviola
ble?"
44 1 know it, mv dear madamc I know-
it already," said I, smiling; 44 it is lace, is
it not?"
She uttered a little shriek, and vcr, she
had got it there among the crinoline. She
thought it had been slickingout, you see,
unknown to her.
44 Oh, sir," said she, 44 it is only ten
1ounus worth; please to iorgivc me, ami
'II never do it again. As it is, I think I
shall expire."
44 My dear madamc," replied I, sternly
but kindly, "here is the pier and the of
ficer has fixed his eye upon us. I must
do my duty."
1 rushed up the ladder like a lamp
lighter; I pointed out the woman to a
legitimate authority; I accompirhicd her
upon her w ay in custody to the searching
house. I did not see her searched, hut I
saw what was found upon her and 1 saw
her fined and dismissed with ignominy.
Then, having generously given up my
emoluments as informer to the sub
ordinate officials, I hurried off in search
of the betraj-ed woman to her hotel.
I gave tier lace twice the value of
that she lost, paid her line, and explained:
44 lou, madamc, had ten pounds wortli
of smuggled goods about your person; I
had nearly fifty times "that amount. I
turned informer, madamc, let me con
vince you, lor the sake ot both of us.
You have too expressive a countenance.
believe me, and the officer would have
found you out at all events, even as I did
myself. Are you satisfied, my dear
madamc? If you t ill feel aggrieved by
me in av way, pray take more lace; here
is lots of it.''
When I finished my explanation the
lady seemed perfectly satisfied with my
little stroke of diplomacy, though she
would have doubtless preferred a less
prominent part in it.
The Hardship or Work.
Mru.VT Haiteai, one of the most
practical of American journalists, gives
as his recipe to make a capitalist Six
teen hours of work per day for sixteen
years; and it may he considered infalli
ble. The good, indefatigable worker is
sure some day to become a capitalist to
a greater or. less extent. All our great
men are great workers. No man ever
achieved eminence who commenced by
reducing his hours of labor to the small
est number per day, and no man ever
worked very hard and attained fortune
who did not look back upon his working
davs as the happiest of his life.
The fact is, work is the best thing we
have got, and the more we can do the
better it is for us; not in a money point
of view alone, but from a moral and in
tellectual point of view. Work is not a
hardship; it is the want of it that is the
hardship.
flow good work is to us! how many
good things it brings us! It lightens our
griefs, soothes our disappointment and
brightens the darkest day as nothing else
can. It mves us home, friends, good
things to eat, clothes to wear, pleasant
objects for the eyes to rest upon. It
makes us able to gratify the wishes of
those nearest and dearest to us, and it
constantly makes the world better to look
Jfi better to live in.
Let us magnify work, then; love and
honor work, not w hine over it and com
plain of it. Let us sing its praises, re
joice over it and show our real apprecia
tion of all it is and all it does for us ny
doing our share of it well, by putting the
best that is in us into our work and leav
ing it as a memorial of which we shall
not be ashamed. Hearth and llvine.
The Coal-Oil Fiend.
There is no law anywhere against
people using coal-oil for 44 kindling" if
they choose; and it seems that the list of
burnings to death from this habit, car
ried forward from day to day, has no
terrors for a woman who wants to kindle
a fire quickly and has a can of coal-oil
in the bouse. A funeral of a coal-oil
victim may daily pass her window; or
she may have just returned from laying
her mother or sister away in the grave
cause of death, coal-oil; the woman
wants a quick fire, she pours coal-oil over
the wood and lights the fire at the im
minent risk of taking the coal-oil train
for the other world. It is a chariot of
fire, and the baggage left behind by those
who have gone up in it is neither a re
membrancer nor a warning to those into
whose possession the old clothes fall.
The selling of jKusonous drugs is regu
lated by law; the storing of gunpowder
and nitro-glycerinc obeys ordinances en
acted for safety; certain di.-eascs arc
hunted out of town by sanitary regula
tion hounds ; wooden buildings are for
bidden within limits; any one seen rush
ing wild-eved toward the river is caught
and locked up away from wafer; but a
woman with a can of coal-oil in one
band and a lighted match in the other is
exempt from personal fear and inter
ference. She is in a hurry to cook or
wash or iron or warm up; she forgets or
disregards the daily newspaper warning,
slights the memory of her lost friends,
and rushes headlong into the flames. It
looks like madness. There must be a
serpentine fascination, always fatal to
woman, about coal-oil. Men are not ad
dicted to that sort of rashness in the
very face of death, but women appear
to be hopelessly charmed hy the terror
of the danger. The grim monster glow
ers in every kitchen closet where there
is the faintest smell of benzine, and
a grinning skeleton walks out rat
tling its shivering bones behind
every woman who carries a can of
kerosene and a lighted match toward a
pile of wood. The fierv monster has as
many titles as Satan. "When it becomes
particularly obnoxious under one name it
takes another, but they all mean death,
and they always tempt the woman to her
destruction. They are perfectly innocent
and non-explosive, and the only result is
light, and comfort, and a boiling pot, and
this the vendors well know. And woman
has a thousand times tasted the fruit and
given in her experience, and still woman
is not afraid to try it again. The last
trial that has come to light was in Cincin
nati the other day. A young Hollander in
that city married a young wife about a
weekago, and the couple had gone to
housekeeping in the neat and comfortable
ffior whkh Hollanders are noted. The
wife was only sixteen, and her father and
Slier had just paid the new and happy
family a visit. The child-wife wants a
quick fire for tea. She is tempted by a
can of coal-oil. Before her husband and
parents can get to her she is, in a whirl
wind of fire. They make frantic efforts to
save wife, ami child, and hope, in one,
and all are badly burned, the husband se
riously. When the flames have done their
work the crisped body of the girl is gasp
ing its last, and beside his dying wife lies
the man suffering unspeakable torments.
And the parents watch by them, and the
neighbors go in and out speechless; and
the woman next door will to-morrow call
the coal-oil fiend out of the closet to help
her kindle her kitchen fire. At least this
would be conformable to all past experi
ence in the history of kerosene, and thus
women have their way. Xt. Louis lie
jmblican. The Enmity Between Swans and Geese.
TorciUNG this enmity between the
swans and the geese, it is curious to see
how the long feud varies. In the spring the
swans arc victorious. The male plunges
through the water at the geese directly
they appear, and, single-handed, sends
them all flying off with screams. More
over, it w ill follow them far ashore, hunt
ing them some 200 yards up the com
mon, which pasture retains the name it
1iad before inclosure. Some two years
ago I had not been home for twelve
months. Before I left there had been
great contests between the swan and the
gander out on lhe grass, and on driv ing
in by the gate at the top of the common
on my return after a year's absence
there they were in the same place pound
ing and flapping away at one another as
if they had not stopped since 1 saw them
last. Nor do I suppose that there had
been but a short truce, which generally
arrives in the severe part of the wiuter.
Then all, friends and foes, come up to
the house to be fed. In the autumn the
war does not cease, though the tables
arc turned. Then the gander gets a tem
porary pre-eminence. For a time the
efforts of. the swan to drive off the geese
grow fainter. He w ill come plunging up
to the fleet of geese, which evade him
and swim further out. Presently they
all set up a Avar scream, and the old gan
der, with his neck as straight as a ruler,
sallies out, challenging the swan to
single combat. That is accepted. The
other day I write in September I saw
such a duel. The birds laid hold of each
other by the throat, and there was a tre
mendous splashing and pother. The
gander drew off after some three or four
minutes of this intimate wrestle. But
if he follows the precedent of former
years be will soon win a victory, as thus:
lie will get on the swan's back, between
his wings, and peg away at the nap of
his neck, the swan swimming away furi
ously all the time, until at last Mr.
(Jander gets off, returns to his flock,
which set up a monstrous chorus of re
joicing, and congratulates himself on the
first victory of the period in which he
remains the master. Chambers' Journal.
The Old Line Abolitionists.
The following resolutions were adopted
at the recent reunion in Chicago of abo

means, the complete possession and enjoyment of
all their civil and social rights.
Remitted, That emancipation alone having hut
brought the slaves within the reach of other bene

Ittsolced, That this National Anti-Slavery Re
union cannot adjourn without giving a memorial
expression of reverence and love for our dis
tinguished Senator, the Hon. Charles Sumner;
that in his death the cause of human right has
lost one of its ablest, trnest, bravest advocates,
our country one of its purest and most patriotic
statesmen, the poor and needy a warm-hear(f d
and tender friend; the negro race a champion so
good and true, so patient, persistent, and fearless,
as to defy the spirit of hatred and murder that
led to his untimely death, enlisting in their behalf
without stint or rest to the last moment of his
life all the strength of his grand physical and
mental structure, shining out like an electric
spark in those Inst words "to his friend, "Take
care of my Civil-Rights bill." And above
all, those Sonthcrn men who cursed and
bused him, and plunged the nation In the Red Sea
of blood for its overthrow, have lost friend so
genuine as to tell them the truth. Yet with
spirit so large and lofty, so tender and forgiving,
that he called all the people. North and South,
both black and white, to lay aside the feelings of
hatred and strife engendered by the war and
dwell together in the bonds of reconcilialion and
peace.
Whereas, The mm power is at enmity with the
freed men as well as ourselves, and is the great
demoralizing agency that retards and in a great
degree prevents their religious, intellectual, and
social elevation; therefore,
Jltsotvtd, That we wage immediate war against
that outgrowth of appetite, that overgrown sin,
nntU there shall be no more drunkeness in the

A correspondent writes to the Scien
tific American that the worst toothache or
neuralgia coming from the teeth may be
speedily and delightfully ended by the
application of a small bit of clean cot

monia to the defective tooth, sometimes

Baked Apple Dumplings. Itoll out
some dough thicker than pie-crust, and
inclose a handful of sliced ripe apples
well covered with sugar and butter.
Bring the edges together as in any other
dumplings. When as many are made as
are desired, place them side by side in a
pudding pan, spread butter and sugar
over them and pour boiling water to about
half cover the dumplings. Put them in
the stove and cook moderately fast until
they are nicely browned. The butter,
sugar and water make a nice sauce, which
can be enriched w ith more butter and
flavored with nutmeg if desired.
Management ok Dwarf Trees.
Dwarf trees require more care than
standards, as their fofms are more ar
tificial. These should branch near the
ground, say eight inches to a foot. If
the young tree when planted had not
branched so low it ought to have been
cut down to within three or four buds of
the point where the first branches arc
desired. Those who have planted young
trees intended for dwarfs or pyramids,
no doubt attended to this matter at the
time of planting. Now they must see
that a regularity and uniformity of
growth is going on that the leader is
proceeding vigorously upward, and the
side branches nicely balanced one not
robbing and outgrowing or overgrowing
the others, this is the point. If the cen
tral shoot grows upward too rapidly,
pinch oil' half an inch of the terminal
bud. If a side branch is disposed to
grow faster than, any other on the tree,
pinch the end. One can do anything he
may desire with a youngtrceif he knows
how, when and where to pinch oil" the

To Can Stkawbkkries. The follow
ing arc reliable rules to be followed in
putting up strawberries: 1. To a pound
of berries add one-quarter pound sugar,
Which should be sprinkled- on the fruit
and remain over night ; then place them
in a porcelain kettle, let them come to a
boil, and can them at once; keep them
in a dtirk, cool place, as the light w ill
discolor them, but will not injure their
flavor. 2. Make a sirup of white sugar
and water, bring to" a boil, skimming if
necessary; throw into the boiling sirup
enough berries to fill one can; as soon as
they boil up skim out the berries into
the can and seal up; continue this till all
U19 fruit is disposed of. The sirup that
remains makes a beautiful jelly. 3. After

Iu general, the berries should be canned

Grafting at Home.
The ordinary mode of grafting, and one
of the easiest to perform, is known as cleft
grafting; that is, inserting the scion in a
split or cleft in the stock. Graf ting is but
a modification of propagating by cuttings.
In both eases granulation must first take
place. Cuttings inserted in the earth then
throw out roots, but, when the cion is in
serted in a proper stock, instead of roots
the parts grow together, and, forming a
perfect union, thenceforth are a fart, or
rather an extension of, the stock.
In cleft-grafting it is betttcr that the
stock be not very much larger than the
cion, although this is not essential; but it
is essential that the liber or inner bark
next the sapwood of the cion and of the
stock touch; so that in practice it is usual
in fixing the graft to turn the cion slight
ly out of a perpendicular line, so that the
inner bark of both stock and cion may
cross, thus insuring contact at some
graft successfully, procure your
cions or sticks of grafts of the previous
year's growth, if cut in the spring, or if cut
in the fall then ol the current year's
growth. Care must be taken that the
cions do not become dry. To prevent
this, they may be packed in moist sand or
other non-heating substances and kept
near the freezing point until wanted for
use; for if, through contact with the air
they become dried, even in a small de
gree, they are unlikely to grow, if indeed
they do not fail entirely.
Now provide yourself with a stout
knife a strong butcher-knife will do a
fine saw, some thin wedges thicker than
the cions, a small mallet, grafting wax, a
keen knife, and your cions cut to three
buds each, and kept in water until
wanted. Saw off the stock square, place
the knife across the middle ot the stick
sawn oil", and split it with a light blow,
being careful not to wound the bark with
the mallet; insert a wedge which should
be narrow enough so as to leave space
sufficient on each side for the insertion of
the cions, if two arc to be used. In this
case the grafts may be sharpened to a
true wedge shape, but if only one is to be
inserted it should be sharpened toward a
feather edge on one side so that when the
wedge is taken out the pressure will
be perfect on the outer edge. Cut the
cion so that two buds will be left above
the stock, and when fixed so that the in
ner bark of both meet turn the top
slightly inward, to insure that it meets at
some point. Some persons then tic the
whole securely with yarn that has been
drawn through melted, grafting wax, but
the usual practice nowadays is simply to
cover the whole with" grafting wax, and
so proceed until the required number of
grafts are set.
In case you want to graft a large
orchard, place the required number of
grafts in one side of the tree, if large,
leaving the branches to grow on the other
side, or else leave sufficient branches here
and there to grow one season, to carry
the superabundant sap. A good practice
in this connection would also be to root
prune the trees so operated on.
To make grafting wax for out-door
work, to one" pint of linseed oil. take
four or five pounds of rosin and one and
one-half to two pounds of beeswax, melt
together and then stir until net rly cold,
when it is to be pulled until it will work
easily and spread from the hand ; or it
may be used warm enough to be applied
with a brush.
Grafting should be performed before
the ioliage appears, although it may be
successfully practiced after the leaves ap
pear, if the grafts have been keptdoimant.
The best time, however, is just as the
buds of the trees to be grafted are swell
ing. The stone fruits, as cherries, plums
and peaches, are worked first; then the
pip fruits, as apples and pears. There is
nothing necessary to enable any person
to gralt successfully but a little practice,
and any one with a little skill may easily
acquire the art. Wentern Rural.
Kalslg Ducks.
It by no means follows because ducks
are a water-fowl that much water is re
quired to raise them. Yet this is a very
common impression, and multitudes of
farmers and villagers deny themselves the
enjoyment and pfotit of a flock of ducks
because they have no pond or stream near
the house. It is true that adult ducks will
get a good deal of their living out of a
water privilege if they have one. It is not
true that water to swim in is essential to
their profitable keeping. They want some
range and grass and good fresh water to
drink every day. Ordinarily, ducks can
be profitably raised wherever hens can he.
They make a pleasing variety in the poul
try yard, and all who have room lor tbem
can enjoy them. The first thing in rais
ing ducks is to get them out of the shell,
and for incubation we decidedly prefer
hens to ducks. They sit more steadily
and take much better care of the young.
The wetting of the ducks' eggs daily in
the last two weeks of ineubation is even
more necessary than for hens' eggs.
In a recent visit to a poultryman who
has just started in duck-raising, he showed
us five young Pekin ducks and six dead
ducks, well dried up in the shells, from a
sitting of twelve eggs, lie had not
learned the secret of wetting the eggs.
This is sometimes done by sprinkling
water upon them, but we think it better to
take them from the nest and put them in
a basin of tepid water about blood-warm.
This moistens the whole shell without
chilling the embryo life within. The
ducklings out of the shell may be aliowed
to remain upon the nest with the hen lor a
clay. The hen may then be put upon a
grass plat under a coop, where the
ducklings can go in and out at pleasure.
Or if the hen is allowed liberty, the
ducklings should be confined in a small
pen from which they cannot escape. A
dozen in a pen ten feet square is enough,
for the first two weeks. For water they
only want a shallow pan so shallow that
they cannot swim and in which they can
wade at pleasure. The water should be
changed often and kept in good drinking
condition. For the first food nothing is
better than the yolk of hard-boiled eggs
or boiled liver chopped very fine. The
food had better all be cooked for the first
week. It may then gradually be changed
to coarse scalded Indian meal, oatmeal,
wheaten grits or rice, as suits the con
venience of the feeder. Breadcrumbs
and sour milk are excellent food, as are
angle-worms and snails. They are quite
as good as chickens at devouring insects
and nothing seems to harm them but rose
bugs, against which they should be jeal
ously guarded. For this reason they
should be kept away from grape-vines
and other plants specially attractive to
these insects. As the ducklings grow
older they may have more liberty and a
greater variety of food. If they have not
plenty of grass its place should be sup
plied by lettuce, onions, cabbage, or other
green succulent food. If you desire ex
hibition birds of the largest size, it is par
ticularly important that the ducklings
should be fed regularly and at frequent
intervals, having all the food they can di
gest. Five times a day is none too fre
quent feeding. We have usually succeed
ed quite as well with ducks as with
chickens in a village yard. When grown,
we give them a larger range. American

The Onion Maggot.
The maggot is the onion-grower's
worst foe, and those who endeavor to
crush the power ot an enemy before it be
comes troublesome arc wiser than those
who endeavor to put a stop to its progress
after it has become formidable. It is
generally admitted that the maggot is the
onion fly in its larva state, or in its first
stage after bearing the egg. It is in this
stage of its existence, and no other, that
it can be styltd an insect injurious to
vegetation ; and if we can destroy the
eggs, or prevent their being deposited in
the onion fields, wc are at once rid of the
enemy.
Having noticed some of the habits of
the onion fly, I am inclined to the opinion
that they select, as far as possible, partial
ly decomposed onion tops iu which to
deposit their eggs. When onion tops and
scullions arc ailowed to decay upon the
surface of the ground, in process of time
they become a natural breeding bed, and
attract flics from the surrounding country
in larger numbers than can be accommo
dated by those beds. They next attack
the weaker plants, and sometimes those
which are making a strong, luxuriant
growth, to puncture and dt posit their
eggs in the stalk. If the weather is warm,
these eggs hatch in a few days, and the
maggots commence their depredations
upon the crop.
It has been my own practice to care
fully turn under all refuse matter upon
the onion field late in the autumn, dress
liberally with well -fined manure, leaving
it upon the surface exposed to the
ameliorating influence ol" the winter's
frosts and the drenching raius of spring
time; sow early in thoroughly-pulverized
ground, and attend carefully lo the after
culture. With this treatment the crop
usually gets an early start, makes a vigor
ous growth, and is able to withstand all
attacks of the encmj' or changes in the
weather. I think damage by the maggot
in this vicinily would not amount to 5
per cent of the crop in the most unfavor
able years. - S. P. Warner, in Neva En
gland Farmer.
One Dog Communicates Good Xews to
Another.
In the fall of lGl my son, Sidney
(5 , entered the Federal army, leaving
behind him two favorite dogs, both of
whom greatly lamented his absence. He
was soon captured by the enemy and held
a prisoner until the spring of ISti'J, when
he was exchanged, and on returning to
his command came past the old home
stead in the country, in Bollinger County,
Mo. Both the dogs happened, to be
about ilOO yards from the house, barking
up a tree at a squirrel. After some time,
however, the smaller one became tired
and came to the house, the large one re
maining at the tree. The little fellow
came bounding into the room where his
young master, who had been so long ab
sent, was sitting, and recognized him, and,
of course, had quite a takingonover him.
The pleasure of once more meeting his
kind master was too great to be enjoyed
all alone, so he quickly turned his course
in the direction of his companion in the
woods, and in all speed made his way to
the tree, and communicated to the large
tlog the fact of his young master's arri
val home; when, in an instant, both the
dogs were making for the house with all
their might, the larger one, who had re
mained at the tree, taking the lead, and
not slacking his speed until he hounded
into the room where Sidney was. The
strange part of this story consists in the
fact that the small dog not only commu
nicated to the large one the" fact that
Sidney had come home, but in some way
told him the identical room in which he
would find him, as he ran around the
house and in at the very door where Sid
ney was sitting, without ever halting or
even turning his head toward several
other doors which he had to pass in mak
ing the circuit. ISt. Louis Globe.
A strange robbery was recently com
mitted at Louisville, Ky. A young lady
who had an unusually fine head of hair,
which she wore in two braids, awakening
during the night with the idea that some
thing was wrong, arose and examined the
door, and finding it was locked was about
retiring again, when she perceived that
one of her long braids had been cut off
close to her head. The thief had entered
through an open window, but left no trace
to aid in his recognition.
