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

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.

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

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

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.

Ci'KIOsity-beekei.s on the grounds
have their attention divided mainly among
three objects: The Japanese dwelling, the

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,

been educated in Bishop Samuel Gobat's

Bishop's mission is the conversion ol
Jews find Mahometans, and both his

ions are Greek Christians, but can twist
their tongues around little but Arabic.

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.

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

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 rnitiiFProxDEXT of the New Haven
(Conn.) Register writes: "That myste
rious relation which is said to exist be
tween an amputated limb and its parent
body receives a fresh illustration in the
rase of young Palmer, who sullercd the
loss of a leg recently, and of which men
tion was made by our correspondent.
After tin: operation, the removed member
was deposited in a box and buried by di
rection of the family. The patient com
plained severely of pain, antl a sense of
cramping in the lost foot, and suffered so
acutely that at the suggestion of some one
the package was taken up and examined.
It was found on opening that the box was
too short for the limb, and that the foot
ind toes had been twisted into a strained
and unnatural position; a larger case was
prepared and the member placed in it
in an easy position and reburied, since
which time the patient has rested quiet,
.nnd no complaint has been made.
A Novel Bet. A wealthy bachelor,
who breakfasts every morning in one of
the most fashionable restaurants of the
Boulevard ties Ilaliens in Paris, is, or
rather was, very attentively served by a
waiter whose palm he generally crossed,
and never with the viler metal. Of course
the wealthy bachelor alwaj'3 had the same
scat, a seat by a window looking on the
ever animated boulevard, hot plates,
dishes served promptly, but not too fast,
in fine, Benedict had an excellent servant.
But, during the last week, Benedict had
been unable to get this excellent servant ;
another servant hangs around him, and
tries his best to supply all his wants; still
the new face is not the old face, and what
annoys Benedict most is, that he occa
sionally catches glimpses of his old serv
ant, who gives him most sorrowful
glances. Benedict has examined the
matter, and has discovered that his old
servant is addicted to gambling. One

staked his best customer Benedict and

Tanning Skins. The following method
is recommended for private use in skin
tanning: Take equal parts of salt, alum
and Glauber's salt, and half a part salt

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. "We are assured that no

then polish with flannel. This solution
not only renovates but preserves the cloth.

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

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.
