POLITICAL lMUAUKAl'lIS. ZJS" The rittslmrpli Chronicle thinks there is ltss l;ing r of a Dimooratic resto ration in Pennsylvania now than there was six months ago, aul this improved prospect is due to the Democratic mllu ciicc in the Slate LcL'ii-laiiire, whicli has heen, in elh-ct. a Democratic Congress on u small scale. ZW The New York Timet rniji of Jlr. Davenport: "The a?MStance which lie rendered toward seem ing the purity of the ballot-box in tins city would not have leen dear at live times the sum which he n said to have been paid for it, and in point of fact the same work cost in Phila delphia twice the sum drawn by Mr. Davenport." ZW The country is being treated t the usual installment of slander that generally precedes a Presidential campaign. The Democratic party, through its organs and leaders, is veiling, at the top of its voice, " stop thief!" in the vain hope that public attention may be diverted from its own rascality to the minor defects of Republi can, otlicials. Fortunately the people are too well informed as to the respective merits of the two parties, and are not likely to be deceived by the Heeing rogue's cry of " top thief!" J It-public Magazine. Zj" -Mr. IJlaine made another, and he says a final, personal explanation in the House yesterday, lie was charged with having been interested in the Kansas Pa cific Kaiiroad, receiving bonds of that road in compensation for services in Con gress. It appears that he rendered the company no service, and that he voted against the s-uhs-idies sought in its aid, and never had any of its stock or bonds. The story grew out of the fact that his brother, John K. Ulaine, had, and perhaps still lias, some of the bonds. His inter est dates back, however, to a time before James G. IJlniue was even a candidate for Congress. Thus falls to the ground an other scandal, leaving the accused un scathed. Chicago Journal, May 2. Proposed Pensions for J'ehels. Few nations have been called upon to place upon their pension-rolls so laive a number of pensioners as we have. The relclliou caused a fearful loss of life and distress among those persons who re sponded to the call of the country to save the Union. -Men who sullercd the loss of limbs or of eyesight or of health in the direct line of duly, and the willows and orphans of soldiers and sailors M ho fell in the service, were properly provided with pensions. A pension, however, was not given so much as a reward lor loyalty. It was granted more out of the gratitude of the people for the devotion and sacrifice of thoe who stood forth in the hour of the Nation's peril and aided in its preser vation. IJut the men who took part in the re bellion, and fought against the Union and the cause it represented, have uo such claim. To reward such men if they suf fered would be a discrimination in favor of treasonous disloyalty, and place the rebel and his dependents oa the same footing with the soldiers who lought and saved the Union. In order, therefore, to guard against the commission of such gross injustice, a law was enacted which has heen reproduced in Section 4,710 in the Revised Statutes. That section reads as follows: No nnney on account of pension nhall be paid to any jiereon, or to the widow, children or heir of aiiv di-r.i'iim pcreon. who in any manner vol untarily eu::ed in or aided or alii-lti-d the lute rebellion against the authority of the United Mates'. Now, the Confederacy, which was the product of the rebelfion . against the authority of the United States, having been destroyed by the Union forces in the Ik Id, has gathered its scattered elements in the National Cougre.-s; and the as sembled Confederate in the House and Senate, appearing in the gr.ie of repre sentatives of the people, "seem to be actuated by the same spirit as when the war prevailed, and to Ik- resolved to do all they can on behalf of their comrades and their families and against the interests of the Union. Accordingly, wherever lie publican legislation projected the Federal Treasury, or confined payments there from to persons ot known loyalty, the Confederates in Congress have set them selves to reverse that legislation, and open the way for the entrance of disloyalty to seize upon the public money. These recent etlons to extend the pension-rolls by quartering rebel sympathiz ers and their families upon tiiein is ex plained in House bill No. 2.'.11, intro duced by .Mr. .McFarland, to repeal the alxive section of the Revised Statutes. This bill has not attracted much attention, but its principle is so impudently and monstrously wrong that it deserves a close examination and should be remembered. The text ot the bill is as follows: Iff it tnticttd, etc.. That nection fortvtteveu hun dred and sixieeu of th Kevired Statutes of the Uuited States be. and the name is, hereby re pealed; and the Secreiary of ihe Interior is here by authorized an. l dire ted to plat e on the pen-rion-rulla the names of all person who may be entitled to a pension under c.xiatinir laws, not withstanding they may have served in the rebel army prior to surti service, and pay to such per sons, their widows or children, a pension as pro vided by law in other cases, from and after the passage of this act. It is almost ahvas safe to assume that when a Southern Democratic member of the House or Senate desires to repeal a section of the Revised Statutes he either aims at protecting the Democratic South in its disloyalty, or to reward his disloyal comrades for their treason, out "of the Treasury of the United States. This is not a condition of affairs that the people are likely to approve, and Representatives especially will resolve that their votes shall be cast to defeat forever the hope of treason in that direction. The bill above cited has in substance been passed bv the House majority, as a report from the Com mittee on Revolutionary Pensions, which committee is presided over by an e.-relel Brigadier Hunton, of Virginia. Jlepub lic Magazine. A Rich Lead. The Government Insane Asylum, if properly worked, may prove an almost inexhaustible mine of political capital for the Democrats. The House investigating committees have already examined sever al lunaties, and with rich results. There was Uiggins ; whose story proved such a terrible indictment of President Grant's spirit, and two or three other bedlamites, whose stories have been published under display heads in Democratic journals all over the country. Those recitals were valuable as political capital, yet they M ere but a beginning, a dim foreshadowing of future possibilities. Attention has been called to the ravings of another madman, and he will probably besummoned before an investigating committee. He claims to have been fed on humau flesh, to have had his bruins cooked, to have well, no doubt he could be induced to claim any thing. And no doubt there are hundreds of others in the asylum whose morbid imiginings could be utilized. It was a shrewd move of the Democrats to enter that institution. They ought to remain there. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Democratic First Guns of the Cam-palgii. The Democracy have opened the cam paign simultaneously in Louisiana and Indiana. The reports of the first guns reached us yesterday. In both States it was but preliminary skirmishing along the advanced lines, but the results were a significant forerunner of what may be expected to follow. In Louisiana the first gun, of which report came yester day, was fired in Coushatta Parish, mem orable as the theater of the atrocious mas sacre of lrcedmen, and was a reH.-ating-ritle. It was not election-day, but the political effect was about the same as fol lows those of the guns fired on election days in Louisiana since the War. It created a vacancy on the Republican side in the Legislature, and ridded the State of a carpet-bagger, Senator Twitchell. His offense was of precisely the sort to invite such fate. He was not only a Republican State Senator, but "and that was the ag gravating feature about it his term of office would not have expired until after the Presidential election, as he was one of the Senators holding over. The fate be precipitated by boarding the ferry boat at Cou&hatta to cross the river and neglecting to keep a look-out for, and get out of the range of, the White- Liner on the other bank, who, after having quietly ridden through the town with his rifle on his shoulder, in broad daylight and in full view of the citizens, to whom of course he was "unknown," first shot Twitchell dead; next drew a bead on Twitchcll's comrade and brother-in-law, King, who also fell mortally wounded; and to finish the business, shot the negro ferryman, but as it was only a nigger, was careless about the aim, and but dangerously wounded him. That done, the White Linershouldered his rifle and departed unmolested, amidst the sup pressed applause, doubtless, of the by standers, who, of course, were filled with admiration for the marksman who could so neatly pick oft two Northern men and one nigger on the other shore, w holly un conscious that they were his target. Ii all only goes to show that the White Liners of Louisiana have profited by the example of their fellows in Mississippi last fall, and are beginning the slaughter of Northern men and negroes early enough to avoid blood-letting on election-day, by exterminating the leaders and intimidat ing the survivors before the election, so that onlj White-Liners will dare attend the polls, and a great Democratic victory may be assured. There was less method in the Demo cratic tiring of first guns in Indiana. Rut the report recalls memories that burn and will thrill with rapture the White-Line heart, lor it comes as proof conclusive that the ancient unterrified Democracy, that Ln other days servilely licked the boots of the slave-driver, survives, and is in full accord with the White-Line De mocracy of Louisiana and Mississippi. In Indiana the guns were fired at " nig gers" simply because they were niggers, and because of the irrepressible longing of the Democracy of the slave-hunting era to exterminate the lrcedmen. The leader in the massacre was a Democratic policeman and conservator of the peace. The Indianapolis niggers also invited their fate by going to the polls and voting the Republican ticket. As they were re turning, they were set upon by the White Line Democracy, led by the Democratic po liceman. The marksmanship was not quite equal to that of the Coushatta White Liner, but one negro was shot dead, two were fatally wounded, and a number of others were shot and stabbed. Then, to turn the whole affair into a "negro riot," like those at Yazoo City and elsewhere in Mississippi, the Democratic' police ar rested a lot of negroes fleeing for their lives as rioters, and they were iocked up. As in case of the "negro riots" in Mis sissippi and Louisiana, no whites were killed, nor was a white man arrested ; and the mystery for the Coroner's jury to solve will be how those niggers managed to kill themselves in such thort order. The w hole was an appropriate opening ot the Democratic-Confederate campaign. Rut, if we. mistake not, these first guns fired at Indianapolis were discharged altogether too far north of Mason and Dixon's line, and the effect will be to rouse the country to stamp out White Lineism, North and South, forever. ChlciQo Tribune. Another Boomerang. Another boomerang has returned and knocked a Democratic Investigating Committee on the head. An attempt has been made by the victims to keep the mat ter secret, but it has leaked out. A Dem ocratic Congressman got up a ckarge against Secretary Bristow to the effect that, while acting as United States Dis trict Attorney in Louisville, Ky., he com promised a case against the firm of A. Dolni fc Marks, brewers. In obedience to the summons, Mr. Marks appeared be fore the Committee on Expenditures in the Treasury Department, and, much to the disg'tst of the Democratic inquisitors, swore that Mr. Bristow did not comprom ise the case at all, but, on the other hand, tried the case and procured a conviction, the result of which was that the firm was fined O'lO. With this, of course, the whole case.broke down. The Committee tried to keep it secret, but did not succeed, and are now sympathizing w ith the Luna tic Committee. Meanwhile, it is a little remarkable that the Committees have not yet investigated the charges that Secretary Bristow killed his grandmother on his mother's side and robbed hen-roosts in Kentucky during the war. Chicago I'ribune. -a . Forced To I5e a Liar. An agent for the sale of a new kerosene lamp-chimney called into a house on Chest nut street the other day to make a sale. He SHtistied the woman that it was a good thing, and then she a.-ked: " How much kerosene will it save?'' " I think it will save some," was his evasive answer. " What per cent, of fuel will it save?" she next demanded. " Why why what has fuel to do with a kerosene lamp?" "All right, you can go," she said. "There was a man along here yesterday with a chimney which he warranted to save half the oil and forty per cent, in fuel, and you can take your goods anil go home!" Resold one of his chimneys in that house; but when he reached the street great beads of perspiration stood on his forehead, and he said : "She wanted to be lied to, and I lied, and now I've got to keep on lying and lose my soul for the sake of selling lampchim nevs!"

A Missourian's Mishaps in Chicago. A Missouri farmer from the neigh borhood of Kansas City had heard so much about the wonders of Chicago, that he decided to come here and see lor him self whether the reports were exaggerated or not. He put in his pocket about $250, which he deemed sufficient to last ttijout two weeks, and afford him all the pleas ures he desired. Then he took the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern Railroad for Chicago. He arrived Tuesday morn ing. The first thing that attracted his at tention when leaving the depot was a red flag hanging from the window of a store on the opposite side of Canal street. The inside of that store was filled with a motley crowd, and a fellow with green specs was talking to them rather excitedly about something or other. Of course he had to see w hat the excitement was. He found that the man with green specs was selling goods at wonderfully low prices. While he stood gaping at the strange capers of the auctioneer, a poor, emaciated-looking fellow walked dejectedly up to the coun ter and pulled out a magnificent gold watch. With tears in his eyes, he asked the auctioneer to sell it for whatever it would bring. It was a heirloom from his father who paid for it $475 some ten years ago. He would almost as boon part with his life as w ith that watch, but and here the tears rolled profusely down his cheeks his wife ami ten little ones were crying for bread, and for their sake he had to part with it. The auctioneer said he could not sell so valuable a watch at that time because the crowd present was not such as could give a fair price for such a watch. He did not choose to sell the property of a poor and starving man at a great sacri fice. The suffering husband and father, however, was determined to have the watch sold at once, as he had to have money to buy bread. Rclectantly the kind-hearted auctioneer consented and put up the ticker. Some one offered ten dol lars. The face of the auctioneer turned redder than his hair at such impudence. Our hero thought it was a shame also. Here was a chance not only to do a good work and save a family from starvation, but also to get a splendid gold watch at a bargain. He offered twenty-five dollars, the other man bid ten more, ami finally it was knijckid down to the soft-hearted visitor at the low figure of fifty dollars. Proudly and fiumphantly he forked over the money and pocketed the watch. He crossed Madison street bridge, look ing with wonder upon the large vessel and steamers and the fine palaces along his road. He had hardly gone one block when a finely-dressed young man tapped him on the shoulder and said: "Hello, Mr. Jones, when did you arrive in Chi cago?" " My name isn't Jones," replied the astonished farmer, " my name is Brown, from Missouri." "Excuse me, sir," said the fine-looking individual, "I thought you were Mr. Joues, you look so much like him," and walked off. About five minutes later another gentleman ac costed Mr. Brown by his real name. Mr. Brown was astonished that the man knew his name, and was overjoyed when he heard he was the son of an old friend of his living in Kansas City. To make a long story short, the twain sauntered off together to see the sights. Of course the farmer was show n how easily he could increase his wealth a few thousands be fore going back to his home in the wilds ot Missouri. He tried his luck, but un luckily he lost all he had except about twenty-five dollars. By this time his new found friend remembered that he had an engagement elsewhere, but promised to call for him at his hotel the next morning. Mr. Brown was then directed to a hole1, where he passed a sleepless night, think ing over the many wonderful things he had seen and experienced during the day. He was, however, not at all discouraged about the loss of his money. Had he not in his pocket the gold watch which he had purchased in the morning, and w hich he could sell for at least $200 v W!icn he had dressed the next morning and taken his breakfast, he started out again. He met his friend of the day before." He was glad to see him, and they had several drinks together. The friend urged him to try his luck again. 'Ihis time he would surely win his money back. He never knew a man to lose twice. The farmer was willing, but he first had to sell his gold watch to get money. He was directed to a pawn-shop, but he soon returned with a sad countenance, inform ing his friend that the pawnbroker said his watch was brass, and worth about one dollar. The young man was greatly exasperated that his countryman should have been thus imposed upon. He volun teered to go back to the auction store and get back the money. The farmer gladly gave the watch to his magnanimous friend to have it exchanged, and returned to his hotel. He waited for the return of the disinterested young man until to-da3', but the young man did not make his ap pearance. Our hero began to surmise that his friend was a swindler, and he determined to leave this town as soon as possible. But he had but twelve dollars left, while the regular fare was about twice that amount. He walked up Clark street to hunt up a railroad office to see if he could not get a ticket for the amount he hail left. Near the corner of Randolph he saw a large sign " Railroad tickets at greatly reduced prices." That was just the place he was looking for. In he went and told his sad story. Mr. told him that he baa a drover's return ticket to Kansas City which he would sell him for the twelve dollars. He bought the ticket, and leiore leaving the office was told that he had to say to the conductor that the nameon the ticket was his. This alarmed the farmer, and he went to the Alton office to inquire whether the pass was good. He was toid it was not, and the clerk canceled the ticket, telling him to take it back and get his money returned. He did as he was told, but Mr. re- fus d to pay back the money. After considerable begging he consented to re turn seven dollars. The farmer, how ever, refused to accept it, and went back to the Chicago fc Alton Railroad office, where he related his experience, as given above. The managers of the company promised him that they woul take the matter in hand and see that his money was refunded, and would send him back. If Mr. continues to refuse to return the money a warrant will be sworn out against him to-day for obtaining money under false pretenses. Chicago Tribune. Fhe Ottoman Representatives at the Centennial Grounds. Ci'KIOsity-beekei.s on the grounds have their attention divided mainly among three objects: The Japanese dwelling, the Japanese bazar, antl the Turkish car penters. There are five of the latter en gaged near Fountain avenue, north of Ma chinery hall, in erecting a structure 14x8 feet in size, the general appearance of which will be that ot the Oriental shops in Jerusalem. They will sell here, during the exhibi tion, chess-boards, paper-weights, napkin rings and innumerable other fancy arti cles manufactured in Jerusalem of wood from the Valley of Hebron, Mount Olivet, Nazareth, the banks of Lake Tiberias, and other places sacred in the regards of Christians. The "boss" is David Jamel, who speaks excellent English, having been educated in Bishop Samuel Gobat's Episcopalian school on Mount Zion. The Bishop's mission is the conversion ol Jews find Mahometans, and both his church and school are well patronized so Mr. Jamel says. The latter's compan ions are Greek Christians, but can twist their tongues around little but Arabic. The man who walks up to the party de termined to have some fun at their ex pense turns away disappointed, for they are intelligent, agreeable and sagacious. Several of them were at the V ienna Ex hibition, and Mr. Jamel asserts that that affair wasn't a " continental" to what the Centennial is and will evidently be. " Why didn't you decide to exhibit in the Turkish building going; up here beside you, Mr. Jamel?" " O, you see, the Turkish Commission wanted to skin us by taxing us forty or fifty per cent, on the profits, and so Mr. Smith " "John Smith, I presume?" "No, Mr. Richard Smith, of McKtllar, Smith & Jordan, this city, whom I met in Jerusalem and guid 3d to the 6acred spots thereabout, acted exceedingly kin toward us, and was the means of securine us this pretty Jixtle grass plot from your commission. They are all in native Syrian costume. The trousers are of woolen or cotton cloth, and look like a potato bag with tw o round holes cut in the bottom for the feet to pass through, the mouth keing fastened around the waist with a many-colored woolen sash. A waistcoat decked with large round buttons covered with black cloth, an overcoat of Occidental style, a red skull cap (the fez), with a large black tassel hanging from the center of the crown, and shoes and Btockings of the same familiar make as that of the over coat, comprise the remainder of their fan tastic costame, which attracts such a crowd about the wearers that, were they not so lazy, their work would be greatly delayed. Mr. Jamel's person derive an air of majesty from an additional garment covering it cap-a-pie. It is a yellowish woolen cloak, with remnants of gold em broidery about the shoulders, and might pass for a resurrected robe of Nebuchad nezzar Beneath the fez-cap is worn a second skull-cap of white linen. This is kept on when the outer one is taken off for the sake of comfort or politeness. It would, doubtless, require a longer time for these Syrians to erect the main build ing than for so many Yankees to do it. The " boss" does nothing but smoke a short wooden pije and act as a cicerone to the curious gazers standing around. As to the four others, while two of them aie lounging in a little tent near by, erected for shelter against the April breeze, anoth er squats on his haunches at the foot of the planing bench, smoking a cigar and look ing dreamily into the clouds which he puffs fortk, and the fourth, after making three or four feeble shoves of his plane, pulls out a bag of Turkish tobacco with a packet of rice-paper, and proceeds to manufacture a cigarette. It is safe to say that for every half-dozen movements each Turk gives his tool he smokes a cigarette, a cigar, or a pipe of tobacco. Philadel phia Times. m t. SENSE ASD NONSENSE.

CotnPiercial Advertiser The Norwich Bulletin advises men not to set out Centennial trees this year, but to plant lamp-posts, because they are more distinct at night and easier to hang to, "Bishop Haven's mother cooked a tur key on her eighty-eighth birthday," says a fugitive paragraph. There appears nothing strange in this, unless it may be the age of the turkey. With reference to that you will notice there is an ominous silence. Says the London Times: ' The difficul ties which the Atlantic steam shipping companies have to encounter in the pres ent depressed state of international trade may be judged of from the fa;t that the Atlantic steamers are stated to be losing equal to $20,000 a voyage."

A orsniNo and enthusiastic writer says the Polish ladies have a certain "haunt ing loveliness" about them.

St. Louis Jiepublican. A Nashville mule kicked at a boy and missed him, a while ago. From that hour that mule was a changed being.

Day by tlay he slow ly wasted away, anl at last sunk into a premature grave, brought thi'her by a broken heart and the humiliating reflection that he could never again look a decent mule in the face.

Handle the skins and rub the mixture well in three or four times a day; the oftcner the better. If there is not moisture enough in the skin to dissolve the salts, put a little water into the hitter.

I have used it on oilcloths which have been down four years, and they look as good as new. The same preparation may also be used on painted floors. When rubbed with tlannel.it will have a beauti ful gloss, equal to varnish. Cor. Scientific American. Stauch paste is best prepared by first rubbing the starch perfectly smooth with sullicient cold water not to form too thick a mass, and pouring into this boiling wa ter very slowly, with rapid stirring, until the paste begins to form, as indicated by the increased transparency, and then rap idly adding the rest of the boiling water necessary for the paste. Boiling the paste is very injurious, rendering it less adhe sive and liable to peel oil". Rye flour af fords a more adhesive paste, but of a gray color. A little alum added to the water with which paste is prepared renders it more permanent, and the use of boiling lime water instead of pure water adds to its adhesiveness. By incorporating with the paste a quantity of turpentine, equal in weight to half of the starch employed, and stirring well while the paste is still hot, it will be rendered more impervious to moisture, and at the same time more ad hesive. Kxslut ngc. As the corn-cob contains less than one and one-halt per cent, of albuminoids and nearly forty per cent, of crude fiber, it is clearly a mistaken economy to grind it with the grain for feeding purposes. There is just one way to utilize the cob of Indian corn. It is good for fuel, and the ash is an excellent manure. Though the total value resulting from these uses is not very large, it makes a very percepti ble addition to the aggregate value of the yearly crop. The weight ot the cob averages about one-fifth the weight of the ear, or oirj fourth the weight of the grain, while the ash of the cob is very nearly equal to three per cent, of its weight. Hence for every hundred bushels of cobs that fanners raise, the cobs are equivalent to 1,400 pounds of fuel, plus forty-two pounds of valuable manure. In a larger view of the case, the annual corn crop ot the country produces, in addition to the grain and stover, about 7,0f0.0O0 tons ot lue! in the cobs, and 210,000 Ions of fer tility in the ashes of the cob. If this two fold value of the cob is not realized by the fanner, it is not the fault of the cob, but the fault of the man. Christian Union. Clear Water and Clean Feed for Cows. In order to have pure and healthful milk ;n an article of lAnnan food, the cows must be supplied with clear water and food that is destitute of matter in a state of decomposition, and that is free also from all pungent odors. Milk of prime quality eamiot be made by feeding half-decayed apples, defective potatoes and moldy food of any sort. A writer in the Kin-mem'' Advocate states that " milK is a scavenger of the cow's body," which is it fact well understood by medical au thorities. We once owned a cow on one side of the face of w hich appeared a bony tumor, which cmitcd an offensive odor. Her milk was uulit for human food, for the reason that the fresh and smoking liquid smelled as offensive as the tumor. The cow was al lowed to rear a calf, but the excrementitious matter of that young animal emitted a strong odor, precisely like Ihe stench of the foul tumor on the jaw of the dam. If cows are required to drink stagnant and offensive water, their milk cannot be pure. The large amount of liquid passing the udder of a cow makes that liquid an efficient flux for re moving everything from the blood that is not needed there There are a great many things that get into the blood in some way which circulate and pass out with the nutritive elements. The essential oils of plants which give them distinctive flavor or odor, as of turnips, onions, etc., the putrid matter in rotten potatoes, decaying grass, or any and every other food in a state of decomposition, will find their way out of the sj-steni through milk. It is a tact which must have been noticed by all observing fanners and their families that medicinal agencies, taken into the stom achs of all milk-giving animals, reappear in the milk of such animals. No fact is more notorious than that any medicine given to a nurs ing mother will affect the child in exactly the same way it does the mother, the medication being carried through the milk ot the mother to the stomach of the child in such large proportions as to make the effect upon the child as active as upon the mother. This inclination of the milk glands to carrj- off medicinal matter from the body of the milk-giving mother is not an isolated inclination to carry foreign matter lrom the system. Disease is car ried as readily as medicine. Any and every disease which taints the blood, as small-p., measles, typhoid fever, scrofu la or consumption, are transmitted through milk as readily as the effects of medicine. The excretory power of the milk glands does not stop with carrying off medicine and disease. It extends to all foreign matter floating in the blood of the milk producing animals. Nor is the power confined to the milk glands. It belongs to the other glands as well. All the large glands ol the body iict its scavengers. But each has a function of its own, to which it is more specially adapted. The liver and kidneys are more active in carrying off foreign and waste mineral matters, while the central glands are more active in ejecting organic substances. These functions, however, run into each other. The oil of turpentine will appear in the secretions of the kidncj-s in fifteen min utes after being swallowed, and nitrate of potash will about as soon appear, to sonic extent, in milk as well as in urine. While the milk glands are not very different from other large glands in their general action, their functions have an interest above all others in a sanitary and econom ical point of view. The foregoing tacts will furnish an im pressive hint concerning their poor butter to those proprietors of cows who require their animals to drink at stagnant ponds. A'. Y. Herald. Temporary Trees. A " tar-heel" received a postal-card at the Concord (N. C.) postoffice, the other .lay the first one he ever saw and. vain ly essayed to open it. A vkkv passable substitute for trees on new lots which are wholly bare and glar ing in the sun may be supplied by some of the large and strong-grow ing annuals. Although they may not be of service more than two or three months, even that brief period of relief from a treeless prospect will repa- the slight trouble of planting many times over." There are three plants which niay be specially recommended for this purpose, all of which, if fairly treated, grow to respectable size in a short time. First, the sunflower, which, though not ornamental for a front situation, may, if properly placed in the grounds, add real beauty to a lot. It is also useful in coun teracting miasma'ic diseases, and for its large yield of valuable seeds, and the dried stalks are worth something forfuel. Second, is the castor oil bean, which is a real ornament, and no mean repre sentative of a tree in size and reach of branches. But the best ot all extemporized shrubbery is hemp. On good soil, if the plant is trained siugle, it will grow eight or nine feet high, and it is as handsome as an evergreen. Its dark glossy foliage Is not excelled for beauty, and the form of the plant is such as "to give the best effect ol real shrubbery. Be sides, when fall comes, the abundant yield of seed will attract around the door flocks of thankful birds whose presence and enjoyment of the provision for their wants are of themselv es a rich rew ard for the pains of planting and raiding. Per haps some may not have appreciated the beauty of a hemp plant, but if placed alone or far enough apart from its neigh bors it will make a really fine shade dur ing the hottest months and add greatly to the beauty of a rear yard, or even to the front. Many persons would led proud enough if they hail evergreens as large as the hemp would grow, and it is better to have shrubbery and variety a part of the year than not at all. Indiana Farmer. Laying Out a Small Garden. "How shall I arrange my little lront yard, of less than thirty feet square, to make it look the best?" writes a new cor respondent. Having given our friend from Connecticut the English plan de sired, we will now give a simple plan of our own, and we would like to see them both made, side by side. It is not well to have every little garden an exact copy of its neighbor, for there, is beauty in di versity. In gardening it is best not to at tempt more than we can accomplish, but to do everything in the best possible man ner. In so small a space the plan should be simple. Much has been written against straight walks, and in conse quence there lias, for some years, been a mania for curved paths, and many little front yards have been sadly disfigured by a desperate attempt to make a graceful curve in a little walk leading lrom the street to the front door, and perhaps not more than twenty feet in length. All such walks should be straight, and the at tempt to make thei; otherwise is ridicu lous. With a good, mat and broad walk to the front door; from this a narrower one leading to the rear of the house, you have all the walks necessary, and all that will look well. In a lot only thirty feet in width, the walk leading to the front door will be, of course, only a few feet from one side of the lot, leaving space for it little unbroken lawn about twenlv b' thirty feet, if the house should stand thirty feet from the street. The space on the other side of the walk will be only a narrow border. Have .all the space not used for the walk graded nicely, and cov ered with grass, cither by sodding or sowing seed. Seed must be sown in early fall or spring, and sodding should be done at the same seasons. Keep the grass in perfect order by frequent cut ting, and it will look we'l at all times, except during severe drouths in the mid dle ol" summer. If it can have a soaking of water once or twice a week, it w ill be as green as emerald in the Northern Stiites from April to November, and in some places nearly or quite the whole year. Kentucky BlueGiass or lawn grass seed, which is atjout the same, is the best seed to sow. Now we have the foundation of all or namental gardening, a good walk and a well kept lawn, and there is little more to do only just a little ornamenting or gild ing. This must be done sparingly. Pro fuse ornamentation outrages all good taste, so we will mak a bed in the middle of the lawn, of some simple form, a circle or an oval. This would look well filled with caladimus and cumins. If these should be too expensive, ten cents' worth of striped ami blotched petunia seed would give plants enough for two such beds, and would be exceedingly showy, and endure all summer. Thanks to a kind Provi dence, beauty is cheap almost, and often entirely, without money or price. A few shrubs around the edges of the little law n, perhaps to screen the fence or any other object, some climbers over the front door, like the astrolochia, and a climbing rose at or near the corner of the house farthest from the front dour, ami you have done about al! that can le done to beautify so small a space. Instead of the flower-bed in the center of the law u it would not be a bad plan to substitute a tine, well-filled vase, w ith a small led of flowers near each corner, or a few half -moon shaped beds near the fences. Garden work needs a large stock of" pa tience, and we are pleased that it is so; it is an excellent discipline for an irritable temper. Things will not all prove satis factory for the first season; but we see reason to hope lor better things next year, and we have enough success to give us faith in the futuie. What a grand schod for the culture of patience, faith and hope ! Then some of our work proves to be in excellent taste, while a portion we dislike, and resolve to change and improve anoth er year. Thus, while we improve our gardens we improve ourselves, and while theyet handsomer we get, at least, bet ter. We propose no model, therefore, lor any garden, and only give a tew sugges tions to set people thinking and working just the key-note to get the tune properly started. Yick's Floral Guide for lsit!. John Forster. The Gentleman' Magazine gives tome interesting anecdotes of John Forster. One day, as he sat a guest at Dickens' ta ble, sonic one asked the host how many children he had. "Four," said Dickens. Whereupon Forster interrupted, w ith an air of great authority. "Dickens, you have live children." "Upon my word, Forster," Dickens ex postulated, "allow me to know the num ber of my own family." "Five, my dear Dickens," was the firm rejoinder. When it was proved that four was the correct number, Forster gave in with it laugh. Mr. Forster, although sometimes appar ently harsh towiird Ins servants, was great ly beloved by them. The zeal and ven eration with which his servant Henry waited on him during manv years were noticed by all his friends. Henry's blind devotion was illustrated on one occasion when his master had a dinner party. During the dinner Henry was nervous, and made two or three blunders. His master chafed and fumed, and cast angry glances at his servant , but the poor man could not settle quietly to his duty. At last, when tht dessert and wine had been placed upon the table, he stole timidly behind Mr. Forster's chair and sai l: "Please, sir, canyon spare me now? my house has been on fire the hist hour and a half." Dickens loved the high character, and thoroughly respected and trusted the opinion, of his friend and biographer. He also delighted to contemplate his gorgeous manner when dealing with the smallest thinus the imperial air with which be asked Henry for his coat, the mighty look of command with which he hailed a cab. Mary '' I say, Mrs. McCarthy, this 'ere's a bad cabbage." " Shure no.v, and is it, honey?
