    A North Carolina Nondescript.
Asa Grandy, a colored resident of Kit's
Swamp, relates a strange and Etartlin g in
cident that occurred in his immediate
neighborhood on Thursday last, and
which has occasioned considerable excite
xnent and alarm among the inhabitants
thereabouts. It appears that for some
time past a strange-looking animal has oc
casionally been seen by different parties
larking on the outskirts of the forest be
tween sundown and dark, but until re
cently no one had been able to approach
the stranger near enough to describe its
appearance. From the description given
by Asa we conclude it to be a nondescript
which Garnum, the great showman, would
be glad to possess, even at an expense of
thousands of dollars. Its face in appear
nnce is quite similar to that of the Van
deroo, havingalongsnowy beard or mane,
while its body closely resembles that of a
baboon, though from the knees down its
feet and limbs are in shape and form pre
cisely human. In height it would measure
about five feet, while its volume around
the chest would eelip.c the Cardiff giant.
Asa states that this nondescript hits tor
several weeks past been preying upon
poultry, ga. den vegetables and green corn
to an alarming extent, when on Thursday
morn lag last, while his little girl of five
3"ears was at p'ay in the corn-crib with a
neighlior's child, and himself at work
stripping fdder in the field near by, he
heard the children screaming, the dogs
furiously barking and his wife loudly
calling for assistance, whereupon he
6wiftly ran toward the point from whence
the cries proceeded, and at the edge of the
cornfield met face to face this singular be
ing with the children in each paw, inak
iug directly toward the woods. At the
sudden approach of Asa the animal, be
ing taken by surprise, halted for a mo
ment, and as it partially turned to change
its course a well-directed blow felled it to
the earth, and the children escaped with
out injury; but before its capture could
be accomplished it sprang from the ground
and with lightning rapidity gained the
covering of the wood, where all traces of
its whereabouts remain as j-et a mystery,
though the forests for miles around have
been thoroughly searched. Much excite
ment and fear prevail throughout that
section, and no mother will again rest in
peace until this strange intruder is capt
ured and rendered harmless. Ifeicbern

Touch Xot.
According to a current anecdote a lady,
whom a policeman had taken by the elbow
to conduct across the street, turned to him
and eaid: " Sir, if I wish you to touch me
I'll ask you." If this response to the po
liceman's attentions seems a little ungra
c ious it is not so. The officer was only
performing a duty for which he was se
lected, anil he had no right to presume
upon his position so far as to take the least
familiarity with either lady or gentleman
lor whom his services were required. It
is not policemen alone who are guilty of
this vulgar habit of taking people by the
arm or shoulder. Car conductors not only
seize people by the elbow in their en
trance to or exit from the car, but are in
the common habit of touching each pas
senger upon the shoulder when demand
ing his fare. It is not too much to say
that any gentleman who found himseif
rudely touched in this way would be jus
tifled in knocking the man down and
equally justified in resenting such an of
fensive familiarity to any lady. And yet
conductors and policemen are not somuch
to blame as their employers are. These
men rr through their ignorance; many
of them indeed would be amazed to learn
that there is anything wrong or disagree
able in putting their hands upon others
w hen no violence is intended. They have
not been educated in those canons of breed
ing that teach the respect and reserve due
to other3, and do not understand that
ladies and gentlemen with high sense of
personal dignity cannot permit anyone
to lay his hands upon them. Hence it is
the business of those who place men in
official positions to instruct them in all
details as to their conduct. So long as
this is not done it would be well for every
lady who finds herself familiarly handled
in the way we have mentioned" to resent
the indignity in some such manner ns in
the instance wc have quoted, and for ev
ery gentleman also to utter his protest in
a sinilarly quiet but effectual style. Ap

Strange Encounter.
About a week ago Mr. Morris Roberts,
the proprietor of the Zoological Gardens
at Iialsall Heath, lecamo the purchaser of
a fine lioness at Mrs. Manders' sale. On
the animal reaching the menagerie at Dai
Fall Heath it was discovered that its feet
had been injured in transit. It was conse
quently necessary that the wounds should
be dressed at certain periods, and the ani
mal being tamely disposed the keeper has
on one or two occasions fearlessly eutered
the den for the purpose of apptying the
necessary remedies. Between four and
five o'clock yesterday he entered the den,
and before be had an opportunity of closing
the door a mastiff dog, who had broken
away from its chain, rushed in after him.
The lioness immediately attacked the dog,
springing upon its back and pinning it by
the neck. The mastiff, which is almost
as large as the lioness, resisted this attack,
and, having freed itself from its most pow
erful opponent, sprang at her and bit her
in the throat, holding on by its teeth until
the lioness gave it a tremendous blow
with its paw, hurling it on the far side of
the den with such force against the keeper
that he was knocked staggering against
the wall. The roaring of the lioness and
the barking of the dog were so great that
Mr. Uoberts, who was in the hotel, came
dowfl in haste to see what was the matter.
Seeing the dangerous situation of the
keeper he procured a large bar of iron and
handed it to him, and the keeper, taking
the first opportunity that presented itself,
struck the lioness a blow on the head,
stunning it for a few seconds. This ena
bled Mr. Roberts to rescue the keeper
from his perilous position, but not a mo
ment too soon, as the lioness made a des
perate rush at the door, which had scarce
ly been fastened. Fortunately the keeper
who has had considerable experience, was
unhurt. Birmingham Eng.) Gazette.
How t Rescue a Drowning Tcrson.
A child may be easily managed by an
expert swimmer; but if the drowning
person is strong and powerful it i often
imperatively necessary to keep out of his
reach until he is partially exhausted; oth
erwise he will clutch his rescuer, and both
may go down together helpless. Calm
ness ani caution are invaluable in the
water. The sufferer will clutch anything
extended toward him at first aa oar,
branch of a tree, a neck-tie, or a sleeve of
jacket, and if the other end of the article
can be held in the month the rescuer has
the use of his arms. But still it is need
ful to keep out of the reach of the drown
ing person. Go behind him and push
him along, but never attempt to
reason with him. If he becomes insensi
ble a good swimmer can easily bring him
to the shore or to a place of safety,
and then the proper means of restora
tion should be immediately nsed. . Im
pulsive recklessness, even though inspired
by the most generous feeling, will not be
so likely to save a drowning man as
thoughtful caution. It may be well to
mention that in case one feels cramp com
ing on while in the water it is best not to
stop, but to strike out faster than before ; a
sudden jerk of the limb is often an ef
fectual relief. RuralXew Yorker.

Rclnrlgoratlon of the Republican
1'artj.
It Is gratifying to Republicans to notice
that many of those who dissolved rela
tionship with our good party in 1872 are
again resuming their vacated positions.
In going out they became " Indepen
dents," but soon discovered that as such
they could not avail anything. The prin
ciples at issue were championed, and re
sisted by the Republican and Democratic
parties. For a time the Democracy ca
tered to their views and prejudices, and
they attached their fortunes with that
party. But soon, like Grosvenor, the
father of the "Independents," they dis
covered that the Democratic party was a
" reactionary" organization, and, a choice
having to be made as to which party they
should gene, they returned to their "first
love," and next year will battle as loyally
for the Presidential 'nominee of the Re
publican party as, in 1872, they fought
against it. The injection of this element
into the Democratic party was like the
pouring of a pailful of pure spring water
into the murky waters of the Missouri
River. It could not purify the Democrat
ic pool. There are, of course, a few rightfully-denominated
"Sore Heads" who,
though having forsworn the Democratic
party, stand without the pale of the Re
publican part', leaving their friends to
cogitate as to whether neither of the polit
ical organizations are good enough for
them, or they are not good enough for
either of the parties.
Some of the dissenters left the Republi
can purtv owing to President Grant's fa
vorably looking on the scheme to annex
San Domingo others because ot disagree
ment with the President on the civil serv
ice idea still others because of want
of accord with the Administration
on matters pertaining to reconstruction,
and still others, it must be admitted, be
cause of appointments made by the Presi
elent, or perhaps, more properly speaking,
of apjKjintments to office not made by the
President, though sought and plead for.
There may have been other reasons for
dissent and desertion, but of those who
left all have returned pave those whose
pride was touched by Executive disfavor.
An incident in the history of Gen. Grant
will serve to illustrate a matter here in
volved. After the battle of Belmont five
regimental commanders were fearful of
censure for their conduct in that battle,
and one of them calletl upon the General
to elicit his intentions in the premises
but could glean no satisfaction. Subse
quently the General said to a friend that
he had been called upon by one of the
disobedient officers who was fearful lest
his conduct and that of his associate re
calcitrants would be reported. When
asked why he did not report them, their
conduct having nearly involved him in
disaster, Gen. Grant replied: These offi
cers have never been under fire. They
did not understand how serious an
affair it was, and they will never forget
the lesson they have now learned. I can
judge from their conduct in the action
that they are made of the right stuff. It
is betcr that I should lose my position, if
it must be, than that the country should
lose the services of five such gallant offi
cers when good men are scarce." Piesi
dent Grant listens to seekers after positions
under Govermental patronage as he did
to the officer above alluded to, leaving the
petitioners to await his official action be
fore the)' learn his intentions, and, as a
consequence, elisappointment oitentimes
follows suspense, and in the case of many
whose hold upon their party was not sup
posed to be based upon lust for office, and
of some who, as Senators or Representa
tives, failed to secure Executive appoint
ments for friends was followed by howls
of rage, threats and active opposition.
During the past five years the Republi
can party has gone through a process of
purification, venal and corrupt members
have been exposed and voted out or dis
missed the organization; provokers of
discord Lave tired and taken their griev
ances to the opposition, and to-day our
party stands erect in the consciousness of
its integrity, armored in the confidence of
the masses and intrenched in their affec
tions. Republic Magazine.
'evf York Stato Republican riatform.
Th Repnblieane of New York, faithful to jn
tice and liberty, to th Mipremacy of the Consti
tution, to the national unity and jnct rights of
the Mate, make the following" declaration of prin
ciple": 1. The National Government fhonld remain in
the hands of those w ho sustain the guarantees of
the amended Constitution : and in pursuance of the
past action of ttie Republican puny and it good
results the welfare of the country requires a juft,
generona and forbearing national policy in the
Southern State, a firm refusal to military
power, except for purpose clearly defined in the
Constitution, and the local enforcement of national
authority by those only who are iu sympathy itn
such a policy and will heartily support it.
2. We demand honesty, economy and efficiency
in every branch of the State and National admin
istrations, prompt investigation of all charges of
wrongdoing and summary exposure, prosecution
and punishment of wrongdoers. We, therefore,
heartily commend the action of all officers, whether
of the State or National (Jovernment, in their hon
est et!orts for the correction of public abases. We
pledge to them our constant and faithful support,
and we charge every nominee of this convention
to co-operate in every honorable way to secure
pure tiovernment ana to bring offenders to jus
tice. 3. The people should nominate for the Legisla
ture only men who are pledged by their known
character to provide and sustain measures calculat
ed to rescue and preserve the State from every
form of corruption and maladministration.
4. The guilty offenders iu the management of the
canaN should be bnmjrht to speedy punishment,
and the Executive, under the power already con
ferred upon him, should suspend all officers who
have violated the law.
5. The Kepublican party ha proved itself from
the beginning a party of practical reform and sound
economy, lu the atlairs of this State it has within
the last four rears provided for the pavment of
f -11.000.000 of the public debt, and practically ex
tinguished the general State indebtedness, and by
this action has made it certain that the tax for the
next year will be reduced about 5,000,000.
. further intlatiou of the curreucy, under any
rretenie whatever, would be a public calamity.
The interests of honest industry and the common
welfare demand the sieeuiest possible return to
specie payments.
7. The whole subject of taxation onght to be care
fully and .wisely reviewed, to the end that its bnr
deua should bear equally upon all.
ft. Kecognizing as couclusive the Presi
dent's public declaration that he is not a candidate
for renominntion. and with the sincerest gratitude
for his patriotic services we declare onr unaltera
ble opposition to the election of any President for
a tbir.I term.
9. The free public school is the bulwark of
the American ISepnblic; we therefore demand the
unqualified maintenance of the public school sys
tem and its support by equal taxation. We are
opposed to all sectarian appropriations, and we de
nounce as a crime against liberty and republican
institutions any project for a sectarian ditision or
perversion of the school fund of the State.
10. The National Administration, by its
steadfast Cdelitr to the principle of commercial
honor, by iu opposition to unsound financial pro
jects, by its calm avoidance of collisions with for
eign powers, by its reliance on justice and reason
rather than force in the settlement of disputes, by
its firm vindication of the national dignity and au
thority by rigidly executing the laws, correcting
abuses, punishing ofl'endtTIs and enforcing re
trenchment, without boastful, ostentatious pre
tensions, deserves the gratitude of the American
people, and adds luster to the services in the war
of the distinguished soldier and patriot who stands
at its head.

t3F"A private letter from Vicksburg,
says the Chicago Tribune of the 14th,,
contains the following: " I have no doubt
in the world that the Clinton affair, and
especially that part of it in which these
Vicksburg roughs participated, was simply
cold-blooded murder. Nearly every one
here knew when those armed ruffians and
desperadoes left here they would not come
back without killing a lew negroes, even
if they had to go miles in the country to
find them. They left here, many of them,
full of whisky, and came back that way,
yelling and grinning as they marched
through the Strpeta aa r.rmn.h thovhml
routed a valiant foe instead of wantonly
"u,u",us i" coiu oiooa a lot or innocent
negroes trying to get out of their way."

Mosquitoes.
Mosquitoet were doubtless created for
some good purpose, maybe to act as blood
letters, and as no sparrow falls to the
ground without our Father's will who
shall say what mission they may have on
earth T They may be sent to teach pa
tience, to make people firm tinder trial,
inure them to pain. But as the insects
buzz around their ears and are smashed
as they alight upon hands and faces, suf
ferers neglect to philosophize and simply
regard them as pests which make their
skins irritant, tempers hot, and causa
them the loss of self-respect by the usage
of intolerant language generated by annoy
ance. This is the season when the mos
quito holds sway supreme. His reign is
one of terrorism, and though he be but a
gnat in the fly kingdom yet he is capable
of creating much misery and irritability.
The culex mosquito, which is the scien
tific name for the disagreeable little gnat
that hums around at midnight and stings
those who loll beneath the trees at noon,
belongs to the family culicidte and pos
sesses a proboscis or sucker with five
6harp pointed, needle-like organs, with
which it pierces the skin and sucks the
blood. It is, in fact, a diminutive, ani
mated cupping-instrument. Rut, while
perhaps relieving the unwilling patient
with a superfluity of sanguinaceous fluid,
the venomous little insect injects a poison
that causes almost immediate inflamma
tion and the wound is accompanied by very
painful irritation. Poor humanity can suf
fer and be strong, can be silent under
the "slings and arrows of outrageous for
tune," but it cannot stand in quietude the
buzzing challenge to battle of the musical
mosquito. The mosquito is generated
chiefly in marshes anel swamps, which
also give birth to malaria, miasma and
fever and ague. The New Jersey crop is
reckoned to be the finest in the world,
though a capital specimen of the thor
ough bredinsect is to be found in Deinara
ra, West Inelies and the Straits settlements
on the coasts of Java and Sumatra. He is
large, gray-backed, striped like a zebra,
and haB wings that resemble the propeller
of a steamer, lie is no coward, but pro
claims his approach as loudly as Don
Quixote, coming bravely up to the scratch
with a whirring challenge to combat, and
departing seldom without blood having
been spilled. It is pleasant to wander
through the wooels in summer time, de
lightful to select a soft spot of mossy turt
under the w ide-spreading branches of an
umbrageous beech, and, with the light
zephyrs soughing through the leafage, feel
poetical and inclineel to slumber. Cut
sentimentality and hope of sleep are
banished when the whirr of the wings ol
the insect-warrior falls upon the ear of the
ruralizing sybarite. 1hc challenge is
auelible from alar, and profanity springs
spontaneously to the lips beneath the nose
into which the knight-errant of the in
sect world plants his lance. He ad
vances not unatteneled like trouble ;
' he comes not as a single spy, but in bat
talions. Their war-rumes are more ter
rible to the tired who seek uncurtained
couches than the sound of cannon to an
enfiladeel troop. There is no escape ; at
tacked on all sides, the sufferer has to sur
render to the enemy, ilosquitoes do not,
however, all belong to the insect order;
for instance, the're is a species of human
mosquito that is particularly objectiona
ble. If it be of the masculine gender it
is generally a small-sized, loquacious lit
tle fop, who buzzes arounel and fills the
ears of sensible men with hi3 inane and
egotistic platitudes; or he maybe of a still
more elangerous species a "society"
mosquito, who whirrs about the clubs and
public places, injecting the venom of
scandal through the cuticle of the creelu
lent. The female mosquito of this class
is the tattler, who has a voluble tongue
and a vicious nature. She is generally an
ancient maiden, who has " been disap
pointed," and bitter indeed is the revenge
6he takes upon poor humanity as she flita
around. She conies humming pleasantly
up, like the insect mosquito, anel she will
sting more deeply than a poisoned dart.
The wound she oittimes inflicts no salve
can heal. But the bees which sting yield
honey, and it is possible that even the hu
man mosquito has been put on earth to
effect some good, though concealed, pur
pose that is beyond the ken of mere
dwellers on this mundane sphere. Phila

Silk anel Lacc-'orking.
A lady traveling in Europe writes as
follows to the Boston Advertiser:
"We went to see silk woven in Antwerp,
famous for the fabric which shimmers and
rustles and adorns. Like the diamond
cutting, it seems a very simple prccess, the
men sitting before looms which loekcd
for all the world like one which stood in a
chaml)er in my grandfather's house more
than thirty years ago. Just so had I seen
the pliant thread shot in and out; just so
the beam flung back upon it. Only three
quarters of a yard of the better ejuality,
said the proprietor, coulel be woven in a
day. I patted and overlapped the stuff
which he courteously laid before me. It
stooel out in great, lustrous folds, pleasant
to see and feel; and then I marveled, not
so much at the thing itself as at the pinched
patience which had been woven into it;
the many days of hard, ill-paid labor
which had gone into its texture. Only
three men were at work in this principal
manufactory. Several looms were idle.
""Where are they who make the silk?" I
asked. "In the country w here they can
be more cheaply kept," was the answer.
Brussels, after Amsterdam and Antwerp,
is like champagne after German beer.
Brussels, the elelight of moelern travelers,
did not please us, for the reason possibly
that its Hotel de Flandre gave us dirty
linen.which we elid notdiscoveruntil after
it had served our turn. Nothing more de
moralizes a sensitive traveler for sight
seeing than having slept in a dirty bed.
"Whatever treasures of art, therefore, are
held in the sacred keeping of showy,
handsome Brussels, they are as an un
known tongue to us; for, with a parting
anathema upon the Hotel de Flandre, we
shook the dust from our garments and de
parted from her. Not, however, before
having seen her lace-women stitchingtheir
strength and their patience into wonder
ful webs, beautiful adornments for be
witching women, to be twined about their
forms with soft, white fingers which would
not deign to touch the hands that fashioned
them. These women earn from one mark
(or an English shilling) to two and a quar
ter marks per day, never more, working
from twelve to fourteen hours. Most of
them also ply their tasks in the country
because their living is cheaper. " Does
not this work weaken your eyes?" I
asked one of them, ""ies," she said,
never looking up; stitching on anel on;
stitching her ejes into a bit of lace, which
a young girl woultl carelessly prick to
pieces with pins. As we passed from the
city we also walked through the fruit and
flower market, which for beauty and pro
fusion we have never seen surpassed in
our own country by any holiday show.
There was excellence of quality and great
art in arrangement.
The Magic of Silence.
You have often heard " it takes two to
make a quarrel." Do you believe it? I'll
tell you how one of my little friends man
aged. Dolly never came to see JIarjorie
that there was not a quarrel. JIarjorie
tried to speak gently, but, no matter how
hard she tried, Dolly finally made her so
angry that she would soon speak sharp
words, too. Oh, what shall I do V" cried
poor little Marjorie. "Suppose you try
this plan," said her mamma: "the next
time Dolly comes in, scat yourself in front
of the fire, and take the tongs in your
hand. Whenever a sharp word comes
from Dolly, gently snap the tongs without
speaking a word." Soon afterward in
marched Dolly to see her little friend. It
was not a quarter of an hour before Dolly's
temper was ruffled and her voice was
raised, and, as usual, she began to find
fault and scold. JIarjorie tied to the
hearth and seized the tongs, snapping
them gently. More angry words from
Dolly. Snap went the tongs. More still.
Snap. " "Why don't you speak?" screamed
Doily in a fury. Snap went the tongs.
"Speak!" said she. Snap was the only
answer. " I'll never, never come again,
never!" cried Dolly. A'ay she went
Did she keep her promise? No, indeed.
She came the next day, but, seeing Mar
jorie run for the tongs, she solemnly said
if she would only let them alone they
would quarrel no more forever and ever.
Exchange.
Wasn't There.
There is one fat man in Detroit who
didn't attend the convention at Put-in-Bay.
He got an idea the other day that his
" wind" was giving out and he made
haste to consult a friend. He was advised
to get some Indian clubs and dumb-bells
and commence practice, and a city ex
pressman landed an outfit in his wood
shed within an hour thereafter. The fat
man had no one to tell him how to wield
the clubs, but he had seen other folks
whirling them around and he knew he
could do it. He grabbed at the heaviest
postureel in the center of the shed, and
shot the club out, up, elown, over, and
came so near knocking the side of his
head loose that he reeled up against the
door and clawed round and couldn't see
daylight for two or three minutes. For
fifteen minutes after recovering sufficient
ly to use he club again he contented him
self with balancing it on his hand, gazing
at the workmanship, and wondering why
in Texas they elidn't knock base ball with
a club of the kind. II is wife came to the
door, saw him fooling round, and she
stuck ur her nose anel remarked :
"You'll fool around with those things
'till vou break your back."
"I will, eh?" he replied. "I don't
know anything about Indian clubs, eh?"
"Look out!" she warned, ns he began
whirling the clubs around to "show off"
his proficiency.
The club flew out of his hand after get
ting a lively motion, and she was knoc ked
over like a ban of sand. He ran for the
washdish, but she warned him away with
a look, and he stood over her and said :
"Pon honor, Mary, 1 wouleln't have
done it for fifty elollars."
" Oh j-ou villain!" she gasped as she
got her breath.
"Don't, Mary I'm as innocent as a
babe."
"Oh! I see your plot!" she cried.
" Mary, as true as you are lying on this
wooelsheel floor, feet in the kitchen and
head on that eld carpet, I never meant to
doit!"
" It's an infernal plot to keep me from
going to the Fat Men's Convention," she
screamed.
" Plot ? "Why. Mary "
"Yes, plot! I see right through it. You
have been hinting around for a week that
I'd better stay at home, and now you've
went and clubbed me until I can't sit up."
" I'll just tell you, Mary "
But she crept into the house on hands
anel knees to get the camphor, and being
repulsed in his oilers to aiel her the fat
man piled the clubs in a corner anel took
up a dumb-bell.
" There's 4ioalth fer you," he said, as
his eyes hung out ; ' there's breath enough
here" for a locomotive. "
He show eel his contempt for the twenty
five pounds hy tossing the weight from
one hand to the other, but in the midst of
ins prouel triumph it missed his hand and
elroppeel to the floor. His left foot was
there to ease it down, and the bell was not
even dented.
" George gosh mercy oh-h-li !" His
wife crept to the eloor, stuck her nose out
anel askeel:
""Want to club jour dying wife, don't
you?"
" No Heavens Injuns ouch!" he
groan od, as he limped around.
" Playing off to get me out there again,
I suppose. Oh ! you'll hear from this."
"Shet up!" he j'elled, sitting on the
floor.
" I won't!" she shrieked, sticking her
nose out a little further.
"Mashed all to atoms!" he groaneel.
" Crippled for life with a club," she
moaned.
Anel for half an hour he nursed that foot
and "jawed back" by turns, anel with
hands clasped over her boely she sat ten

Use of Fall-Sown Iije.
If it were generally known that rye is
one of the most valuable crops which can
be produced in any country, it would find
at least a limited place upon nearly every
farm in the country. When we say crop
we mean to take it at every stage of its
growth, anel to include every part of it,
from the tiny roots to the straw that goes
into the thatch upon the roof.
It must be planteel when there is but lit
tle other work to elo, and at a time when,
in the preparation of the grounel, all grow
ing weeels are eleslroye-d before their seeds
mature. The rapiel and vigorous growth
of the rye eloes not leave a place to be oc
cupied by the little weeels, which are
ready at all times to spring up and choke
out most other crops. When sown early
in September, and followed with enough
rain to give it a start, rye will produce a
large amount of fall pasture for stock.
Cows love it and elouble the profits of the
dairy when transferred from the bare past
ures of autumn to feast upon its rich ver
elure. Young stock grow rapidly upon it,
anel get into such condition as to be able
to go through the winter in a much bet
ter shape than those with sides less extenel
ed with fullness of flesh to carry them
through the pinching times of dry food.
Ifmanageel in this way anel turned un
der as a green crop for coi n in the spring,
rye is a wonderful fertilizer. Its fine,
fibrous roots permeate the ground in
every elirection, anel elraw elown through
the blatle'S fertilizing qualities from the
atmosphere, cennbining such qualities in
the soil as to bring immetdiatc results in
large crops. It protects anel thoroughly elis
integrates the soil, and if plowetl up and
put to corn late in May it will aflbrd con
sielerable pasture early in spring when it
is the most needed.
If desired to proelucc a crop, the fall
pasturage if not too severe eloes not or
dinarily hurt it. The straw, long anel
straight, is excellent for thatching roofs,
or if cut before too ripe makes good food
for stock.
For hogs, the grain if ground and fed
in small iuntities to supplement corn is
excellent. For a sure crop without much
labor nothing surpasses it. When it fails
this is known in time to substitute another
in its place with the probability that
enough more will be secured from the
seconel planting, from the better conditieui
of the grounel, than to pay for all the labor
incurred. Will the fanners who elo not
re-cognize the rotation of crops, clover and
the grasses, but continue to run harel the
resources of the soil in the production of
the grains, try a crop of rye for the uses
indicated above and report results ?

Acconrtrxo to Rochard, a French veter

venting flies from annoying horses con
sists in painting the inside of the cars, or

It is said the odor of this substance is un
endurable to flies, and that they will keep

Molasses Plum Cake. Twocupfuls of
molasses, two cupluls of butter, six eggs,
two cupfuls of brown sugar, six cupfuls
of flour, one pound of plums, two lemons
(juice and rind), two spoonfuls of ginger,
other spice to j-our taste. Beat up the
eirgs very light and separately, add the
spice, rub the butter and flour together,
beat in the molasses ; then mix all to
gether, and, if you choose, have it hot for
dinner, with the addition of French sauce.
Bakers Buns. Mix one anel one-half
pounds of sugar with two pounds of flour ;
make a hole in the center of the flour and
pour in half a pint of warm milk and two
tabjespoonfuls of yeast; make the whole
into a batter anel set ttie ensii oe tore tne
fire, covereel up until the leaven begins te

melted butter and milk enough to make a
soft paste of all the flour, and ht it" rise

into buns and lay apart em a buttered tin
in rows to rise for half an hour; bake in
a quick oven. A few currants are added
with the butter.
Benzine, or essence of petroleum, is
commonly used for removing grease-
spots; but these liquuls present inc m
cemvenience of leaving, in most cases, a
brownish aureohi. To avoid this, it is
necessary, while the fabric is still satur
ated and immediately the stain has tlis
appeared, to sprinkle gypsum, or lycopo
dium, over the whole of the moisteneel
surface. When dry, the powder is
brushed away. Stains of oil paint may
be removed with bisulphate ef carbon ;
many by means of spirits of turpentine;
if dry and old, with chloroform. For
these last, as well as for tar-spots, the
best way is to cover them with olive oil
or butter. When the paint is softened,
the whole may be removed by treatment,
first, w ith spirits of turpentine, then with
benzine. Pharmaceutical Gazette.
Stewed Pears. Peel green pears care
fully and smoothly, leaving the stems
upon them ; lay them in a stew pan or an
earthern saucepan, slicing half a Union
in thin slices among the layers, and
sprinkling also a few pieces of stick cin
namon in the pan; nearly ceverwith boil
ing water; put on the cover ef the sauce
pan and let them cook until a fork will
pass easily through them, then take out
the pears anel lay in a dish, putting back
the water to boil for a half hour without
being covered. When the half hour is
over add a tea-cup of white sugar to two
eiuarts of fruit; let it boil five minutes,
anel pour over the pears. This makes a
very pretty dessert elish, by cutting cake
in half slices and ranging arounel the
edges of the elish and lillinrr up the center
with pears, standing upon the large entls
anel pouring the syrup over them. Amer
ican Grocer.
The elire'ctions for the culture of hanging-baskets
are very simple. Choose as
pots er baskets, clay bowls, of porous,
ware, which may be set insiele either a wire
or wooden frame or a glazed vessel. In
non-porous pots or vessels, plants will not
grow to perfection ; there is usually' no
outlet or elrainage for the surplus moist
ure to escape, and on all sides ventilation
or aeration is cut oil'; hence, the soil be
comes soelelen, anel the roots are liable to
elecay. After you have provideel your
baskets, then fill the bottom to the depth
of an inch or two with small bits of char
coal for the triple purpose of elrainage,
purification, and as a fertilizer. Charcoal
dust is also desirable to mix with the soil.
A coarse sponge might be put in, if the
vessel is deep, to elrink up the surplus
moisture anel yet keep the soil moist by
irivinsr it out again when elry. lou elo
mt neeel a very rich soil; gooel garden
soil is well enough; because if too rich
your plants will grow too rapidly for
grace and beauty, and run too much to
stem. Climbing or elrooping vices may
run as much as tliey please; the more
freely the better, as it is the very thin
elesired; but standard plants in baskets
must not be stimulated much they would
out-wow their sace.
Gen. Crooke's Milk.
Gen. Philip S. Croeke, the old Knicker
bocker lawyer, resides in a beautiful resi
dence in Flatbush, close to ths road. Of
an evening the General does a little gar
dening. Last week the General was at
work on the fence, in shirt anel pantaleons,
when a venerable gentleman and two
young and lovely ladies drove up in a ba
rouche. As the venerable gentleman ap
proached Gen. Crooke, he cried out:
" Hi! my man, can you get us a glassof
milk?"
"I will, with pleasure," said the General,
as soon as he saw the sweet faces of the
two young ladies in the barouche.
The General hastened into the house
and soon returneel with three glasses ol
milk on a silver salver. The pretty young
ladies quaffed the delicious fluid and
wiped their dainty mouths, and the ven
erable gentleman elevated the glass ami
then brought it down empty and smacked
his lips at it.
" Heui!" the venerable gentleman ejacu
lated. "Splendid! My man, can you get
me another glass?''
" Certainly, sir," the General said, with
a bow, and off he went for another supply
of milk.
When the venerable gentleman had
quailed the second glass he again fired oil
a salute with his lips, and said :
"Hah, excellent! Very much obliged
to you. What have I to pay?" and he
thrust his hand into his pantaloons capa
cious pocket.
" Nothing, sir." said the General, smil
ing. "Ah, hem! No? Well, really; but
why not, my man, why not?"
" Well," said the General, smiling gooel
humoreelly, "the fact is, I'm in the whole
sale business and I don't charge for a trifle
like this."
" I'm sure we're very much obliged,"
said one of the young ladies, smiling
sweetly and slightly blushing, in which
beautiful accomplishment she was even
excelled by her companion.
The General saw they were embarrassed
and said, with that graceful politeness for
which he is famous: "Please cr.il again
when you pass this way; I shall always
be elelightcd to give a drink of milk."
The venerable gentleman lifted his hat
and bowed, and the younjr ladies asrain
smiled so deliciously that the General's
head began to swim, and, when he recov
ered, the barouche was rolling along in
the distance.
N. B. The General wishes it to be un
derstood that he won't be out in his shirt
sleeves again for some time to come, and
that, as a general rule, he's not anxious to
dispense milk by the glass on an eleemos
ynary basis. Brooklyn Sunday Sun.
