To Flow Down Grass.
The Canadian Farmer snys : Not
withstanding t lie utmost pains find care
in plowing, the gross, especially if long
will bristle up iu benrds and tufts here,
there, and everywhere, injuring ulike
the appearance of the field and its capa
city for growth. Do you wish to reme
dy this grent dilllcutly? If so, use
the chain and ball to your plow. No
matter what kind plow you have try
them. A pieoe of trace chain will do
very well. Fasten one end of it to your
coulter, and to the other end nttach a
round irou ball of from two to three
pouuds weight leaving the chain long
enough to permit the ball to reach back
to about the middle of the moldbdard,
and there let it drag alone! on the off
side, of course.
Drying nncl Cooking Sweet Corn.
I gather the corn when it is large
enough to eat, and cook about fifteen
minutes ; then, with a sharp knife, cut
the top off the kernel, scrape off the
rest, leaving the hull on thecob; spread
thin on plates and dry in a worm place
near the stove ; it will dry in six hours;
when thoroughly dry place in a tight
sak (a paper flour sack is good), hang
in a dry, cool place ; this needs no air
ing to keep it from getting musty.
When wanted for use, take a sufficient
quantity, place in a pan with plenty of
wafer, cold or warm, n5t hot ; let it
soak over night ; set on the stove with
the same water it soaked in ; let it cook
slowly for 1 hours ; when nearly done,
add a piece of butter, salt and pepper
and sweet cream, if you like. If you
want succofash, add to the corn about
half as much well cooked beans. Beans
are better soaked over night in cold
water, then parboiled, and cooked slow
ly in fresh wate-; when nearly done add
salt, and season to taste.
Influence of manure on Product!.
Prof. Bache says: " Herbaceous plants
and vegetables furnish numerous in
stances of the influence of peculiar ma
nures on the qualify of tlio products.
The cheese and milk of certain locali
ties are highly prized on account of the
peculiar aroma of the grass in those
localities.
Besides this bad influence of odor
ous nitrogenous manures on wine, we
must bear in mind that this process re
stores to the soil only a small portion of
the potash consumed by the canes, the
leaves, and the fruit, and that it also
tends to exhaustion, since it returns to
the soil but one-Qt'th or one-sixth of the
amount of potash taken from it. More
over, nitrogenous substances exclusively
useu Hasten tlie decay ot vineyards and
tne exhaustion of the soil. We have a
report from Baron Von Liebig of the
exhaustion of a vinevard at Bineren. on
the Rhine, through the exclusive use of
horn scrapings. The result at first
seemed good, but after a few years the
growth and production decreased rap
idly. The extra growth induced by the
born scraping had divested the Bo'il of
all its potash without returnincr anv.
Nitrogenous manures also increase in
the grape in proportion of albuminous
and inumlagmous matters, and corres
pondinely diminish the saccharine
the wine contains less alcohol, and is
consequently wore subject to altera
tion. In fact, sugar-producing plants
never want strongly nitrogenous ma
nures ; and svgar-makersare aware that
beets manured with highly nitrogenous
compounds although more bulky
contain less sugar and more organic
matter, to tne detriment ot the maim
facturer.
Domestic Recipe.
Eecipb fob Cookiko Poke. Fresh'
en thin slices of salt pork, then dip
eacn slice in a well-beaten egg, and
then in cracker crumbs, and frv a nice
brown, and lay them on the platter as
iree as possible Irom fat. We think
this dish incomplete without fried eggs,
and we keep eggs in shape in this way.
Put well-greased muffin-rings on a well
greased griddle, and when hot, break
in the eggs, one in each ring, aud they
will not spread as in the usual way of
cooking. They will slip from the rings
easily wneu done, if not, loosen by run
niug a knife round tho edgo.
Rice Waffles. To make rice waffles.
take a teacup and a half of rice that has
been well boiled and warm in a pint of
ncli milk, stirring it till smooth and
thoroughly mixed. Then remove it
from the fire, aud stir in a pint of cold
milk and a teaspoonful of salt. Beat
four eggs very light, and stir them into
tho mixture, in turn with sufficient rice
flour to make a thick batter. Buke in a
woffle iron. Send them to the table
hot, butter them, aud eat them with
powdered sugar and cinnamon, pre
pared in a small bowl for the purpose.
A Delicate Cake. The whites of
four eggs beaten, one cup of sugar, one
cup of flour, one half cup sweet milk,
three tablespoon fuls of butter, one tea
spoonful of soda and three teaspoonfuls
of cream of tartar.
Cleaning Paint. To clean paint in
an expeditious manner, smear a piece of
flannel in whitening, mixed to the con
sistency of paste in warm weather, rub
the surface to be cleaned briskly, and
wash off with pure cold water. Grease
spots will be in this way almost in
stantly removed, us well as other filth,
and the paint will retain its brilliancy
and beauty unimpaired.
JIow to Escape from a Buknino
House. If a person in a house on lire
lias the presence of mind to apply a wet
cloth or handkerchief to his mouth aud
nostrils, a passage can be effected
through the densest smoke without any
serious inconvenience. If possible en
velope the face and head completely.
Ink Stains. A solution of pyrophos
phate of soda, it is said, will quickly
remove fresh ink stains (old ones less
so) without affecting the colors of the
fabric, as is the result when oxalic acid,
chloride of lime, or chlorine water are
made use of.
Doughnuts. Nutmeg, one egg, one
cup of 6ugar, one cup of sweet milk,
one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful
of soda dissolved in the milk, two tea
spoonfuls of cream of tartar sifted with
the flour, of which use sufficient to roll
and fry.
X Consolation.
Here is the way a Detroit man dove
tailed sorrow and satisfaction into one
another when his lamented but insured
wife departed. Writing to the insur
ance company, he says : " Dear Sir I
take my pen in band to let you know
that I am well, but that my dear wife,
insured for $5,000 in your company, is
no more. She died to-day. Her policy
is No. . 1 can truly say that she was
a fond wife and a good mother. I have
the doctor's certificate, so that there
will be no trouble about the policy.
She was sick only a short time, but suf
fered much. Do you give a check in
advance, or must I wait sixty days for
the money? Yours, eto." Who shall
say that life insurance is not a good
consoler 1
A Doctor's Treatment or Cholera,
A correspondent. writinor from Franlr.
lin, Ky., wheie the cholera has been
raging, writes as follows of the treat
ment by a looal doctor: There were
several very obstinate cases, when the
vomitiug.purging, and cramping was so
violent the patient was unable to retain
any medicine two minutes. He imme
diately injected into each arm, by means
of a hypodermic syringe, one-half grain
of morphine, and in three hours, iu one
case, as much as one and a half Brains
were introduced into the system by this
means. The result was. the vomitin?
and purging were immediately arrested,
aud the patient remained perfectly quiet
ior nours, and enabled the ordinary
means to act. I am not aware the doc
tor claims any originality in this treat
ment. Yet I have been unable to learn
of any other's using it, and in every
case where he resorted to this means
the patient recovered, with but one ex
ception ; and that, no doubt, was owing
te some indisoretion of the nurses.
Of course, this is only a part of the
treatment, yet the doctor feels assured
without the use of the hypodermic
syringo and morphino the patient would
have passed into the collapsed stage
before any other remedies could have
actdd ; and I feel fully assured any of
the medical fraternity, where the epidem
io has not been, desiring to learn more
lnny the character of the disease here,
and the treatment found most suooess
ful, would be readily informed by the
doctor, or by any other member of the
profession here.
Sane or Insnne.
Mary Harris (who killed Burroughs,
a clerk in the United States Treasury
Department, some years ago, and was
acquitted on the plea of insanity) has
been Drought bacK to Washington from
Pennsylvania, whither she fled after her
escape' from he Government Insane
Asylum across the eastern branch on
the evening of the 5th instant. Infor
mation was received by the Washington
Detective Corps that Miss Harris was
in Louisburg, Pa., where some friends
were secreting her-. Two detectives
were immediately dispatched to secure
her. bue was traced from liouisburgto
Philadelphia, and was finally arrested
on one of the streets of that city. Upon
her arrival at Washington she was at
once taken to her old quarters in the
asylum. It has been learned that she
was aided in her escape from the asylum
by an employe who was charged to
watch her and who assisted her in
scaling the wall. From the asylum she
at once came to this city, pawned her
wntcu, and left on tne nrst train Worth.
Miss Harris was originally consigned to
the asylum as an insane and dangerous
person some time after the Burroughs
trial. The detectives who brought her
back say thut at present she seems to
be perfectly sane, with no symptoms
whatever f mental derangement, and
that she says she will patiently wait for
the liour ot ner rescue.
A Martyr for Many.
So rare, says the Loudon Daily Tele
graph, is heroism in these clays of
strikes and corners, of money-making
and cotton-spinning, that we are now,
more than ever, disposed to welcome a
noble deed, and a nobler deed than that
of Plate-layer Elliot we may go far to
seek. Elliot was one of a gang who
was repairing the metals of the London
and Southwestern line near Surbitou,
when the Exeter express came thunder
ing along. The plate-lnyers, of course,
dispersed, and were standing to let the
train pass, when Elliot's- quick eye
caught a heavy iron chain lying across
the metals, and he saw that, in another
moment, the train would leap from the
line and roll down a steep embankment.
With a courage as cool as that of the
little midshipman who picked up and
threw overboard a loaded shell, Elliot
dashed forward and was just in time to
snatch the obstacle from out of the
path, and to avert a most terrible acci
dent. He was just in time to save the
lives of others, but he was just too late
by a second to save himself. The buffer-board
of the great express engine
caught him as ha stooped with his
heavy burden, and dashed him high
into the air a corpse. For those who
love a brave deed, the memory of Elliot,
the plate-layer, will live long with that
of Elson, the pilot, and Ford, the fire
man. State of Education in Persia.
The upper classes in Persia can gen
erally read aud writo and cipher a little.
Their learning seldom goes beyond
that ; and there is a pious reason for
their ignorance. The Cal ph Omar sa
gaciously observed that " there was no
need of any book but the Koran ; be
cause whatever could by any possibility
be good in literature was to bo found in
it." Thus, although mauy of the Per
sian Khans are almost as good scholars
as American village children in the first
year of their studies, yet writing is not
only an art in Persia, but it is a distinct
profession practiced by meerzas, sho
go about with an inkhorn and a reed
and are much esteemed. There can
hardly be said to exist a Persian liter
ature in modern times. There is a
newspaper (a sort of court journal)
printed ut Teheran, and now and then u
rumbling tale, attributing marvelous
deeds and gifts to kings, and chiefly
occupied with " Nuploon " (Napoleon),
funis its way into print and a limited
circulation. There is no such person as
a Persian publisher, and no such thing
as a Persian bookseller's shop. Such
ancient books as are read by the learned
lire still mostly in muuuscript and bear
a very high price.
His Presents.
Tho lato John H. EastUurn was a
type of the Boston printer industrious,
frugal, intelligent. His printing-office
he bequeathed to three workmen who
had been long in Ins employ ; fco.uuu
gave he to the Franklin Typographical
and other charitable societies, 810,000 to
the Benevolent Fraternity of Churches.
After providing amply for his widow
and relations, the balance of his estate
is given to tbe Boston Provident Socie
ty, the income to purchase food, cloth
ing, and fuel for the poor of that city.
What we especially like in the old gen
tleman's will is that he gave $1,000 to
his friend, and everybody's friend, P.
B. Shillaber " Mrs. Partington."
Humboldt's Money. It is well known
that Alexander von Humboldt died in a
state bordering on poverty. His finan
cial embarrassments were caused by his
loss, in 1813, of the sum of nine or ten
thousand dollars in gold, which the
King of Prussia had presented to him.
At the time it was believed that the mo
ney had been stolen from the great
savant, but the police were unable to
find any clue to its disappearance.
Strange to say, a short time since the
gentleman cow living in the house for
merly occupied by Humboldt, found
the money in a small box among; some
old rubbish in the cellar. How it got
there puzzles Humboldt's intimate ac
quaintances iiceedingly.
Thoughts Worth Preserving. 1
Our resignation and our faith must
not be merely general, but particular.
It is in special instances we are put
upon our trial. We must not say, I
could endure another sort of vexation,
but not this. I could bear a different
annoyance, but not this. This is pre
cisely the one which God assigns to us,
and perhaps, for the very reason that
we are bo intolerant of it. The duty of
humble submission is as imperative un
der this as under any other trial. The
privilege of faith isa s great under this
as under any other. The promises of
the Gospel ore not excluded from this
case. Could we look into the reasons
of state in the mediatorial kingdom, we
should see that we are visited with this
annoyance rather than any other lot a
definite purpose, and that of indne
graoe. When this purpose is ac
complished, it will assuredly be remov
ed.. W. Alexander. .
A sense of uselessness is one of the
severest trials of old age. It is a com
mon complaint of old people that they
feel themselves to be a burden and in
the way, and they are no longer capable
of active service in the cause of God. It
is not for them to argue about the pro
vidence which still keeps them in the
world. For themselves it may be that
atience may have her perfect work, and
that a rare and illustrious finish may be
put upon their character. For others
also that their large experience may be
the heritage of tho youth, and that the
good of the past may be brought down
and welded on to the present.
Past ages have produced valiant
Christian heroes, and the present has
leed of them. The faith of the saints
will not be suffered to live without mo
lestation now any more than heretofore.
It matters little whether the assailant
be a ribaldatheist, or a cultured skeptic
of some modern school, " the faith "
passes through a continuous struggle
toward its final victory, which victory
will most surely come. A millennial
day may dawn, but it is not yet. The
forces of evil will doubtless all be sub
dued, but they die hard. No victory
comes before the battle.
Some children and some foolish
grown-up people think it very smart to
deceive others, and even frighten them
" for fun." Sometimes such fun turns
out very seriously. Hear what the Bible
says about it : As a madman who
casteth fire-brands, arrows and death, so
is the man thet deceiveth his neighbor,
and saith, Am not I in sport?" Prov.
xxvi. 18, 19.
une may live as a conqueror, or a
king, or a magistrate, but he must dio
a man.- The bed of death brings every
human being to his pure individuality,
to the intense contemplation of that
deepest and most solemn of all relations,
the relation between the creature and
his Creator. Webster,
But every gaod man is not born with
tho gilt of speech. There are deep
minded, devout and earnest Christians
wlio can do everything else better than
to address a mixed assembly. Thev
are constitutionally timid, and slow
tongued ; there is pure gold within
them, but they cannot coin it readily
into current words.
The Secret Drawer,
Says the Milwaukee iVews : " A gen
tleman residing on the South Side, and
for many years a resident of Milwaukee,
is in daily expectation of the arrival of
an aunt, on a short visit, the history ot
whose later years surpasses anything in
fiction. She was born and reared in
New England, and has lived there all
her lifetime, being now past sixty years
of age. She married in early life to
Captain Knight, a seafaring man, and
bore him sous and daughters, several of
whom are living, niocried and comfort
ably settled. About sixteen years ago
her husband sailed on his final voyage
to Cuba, and no word from him, his
vessel, or crew, has ever been received
since. The ship undoubtedly founder
ed and carried down all ou board. Mrs.
Knight struggled on a few years, reared
her children, who remained home at
the time of her misfortune, and, in do
ing so, exhausted the last remnant of
property left by her husband, and final
ly broke down in health under the ac
cumulated weight of years, misfortune,
and poverty. Her youngest sou, just
married, furnished her a home for a
short time, and then refused to shelter
her longer. Her other children each in
turn declined to burden themselves
with ' mother's support,' or to do any
thing towards procuring her a home.
She dually came on the town as a pau
per, and was knocked off to the lowest
bidder for her support, and was for
several years a poor old broken-hearted
creature, unable to more than knit
stockings and assist in tending child
ren. Previous to becoming so utterly
destitute, she had sold off her furni
ture, piece at a time, to keep the wolf
from the door,' and, among other arti
cles, sold her husband's old secretary
to a townsman and acquaintance. He
used it a few years, aud then knocked
it to pieces as rubbish. In doing this,
he found iu a secret drawer a paid-up
insurance on Captain Knight's life for
ten thousand dollars in the ilStna Life
Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.
Being an honest man, and knowing Mrs.
Knight's location and destitution, he
hunted her up, took her to Hartford,
and she actually procured the payment
of the entire sum. The officers of the
company informed her that her husband
paid one hundred dollars as advance
iremium just before sailing, and they
lad long been waiting for the presenta
tion of the policy for payment. Her
graceless children ware not long in
hearing of 1 mother's ' good fortune,
and have been vieing with each other
ever since in kind attentions to the old
ludv,aud pressing her to come and live
with them, and make their houses her
home. &o.. so. one has seuse enough,
however, to take such professions for
what they are worth, and has resolved
to maintain her independence to the
end of her days. The name of Mrs
Knight's nephew is known to all old
settlers in the Eighth Ward.and is at the
service of any one who doubts mis state
ment."

Ibom Pollers' Strike. A strike at the
Milwaukee Iron Company's rolling mill
was inaugurated not long since. The
employees hold out, and both parties
are resolved not to yield. This throws
over 1,000 men out of employment,
Tha strike is not for wages, but on ao
count of the discharge of some unrully
members.
The Dollar we Don't 8pf nd.
We have to calniilate pretty close ot
our house, you know ; and the whole
family ore called into council wnen any
important 'expenditure is to be made.
Well, the other evening we were consid
ering the small remnant of the quarter's
salary, and Mrs. Dobbs wos trying to
reckon how it could be made to cover
everything. There was her new dress,
and o new coat for me, and a new car
pet for the beBt parlor, and a new hat
for our (at present) unmarried daugh
ter, besides a great many other things,
with which I will not occupy your valu
able space. The main point was the
new dress, and Mrs. Dobbs was think-
ing of this shade, and scrutinizing that
pattern, wishing she could buy them all,
uouuung II sue COUld ouy any oi ineui ,
and our faces grew longer as the salary
grew shorter. Presently, with one of
my happy inspirations, I said to her:
" Mrs. Dobbs, there is no dollar that
does yon so much good as the one that
you don't spend."
She looked at me a little perplexed,
and presently she said: " Why, doctor,
1 don t understand you.
So I said: " The handsomest dress is
the one you don't buy."
"On, yes, that s true." xne nest corn uaa iuuy matured, tne grass
dress I ever had was the silk that Mrs. caterpillars" suddenly made their ap-
Largehead gave me when she came from
rmladelphia. It couldn t nave cost less
than "
Mrs. Dobbs." said I, interrupting
her; "the handsomest and everyway
the best dress is the one thut you don t
have.
She was more puzzled than ever, and
I was forced to explain.
" Mrs. Dobbs," said I,' " all the dres
ses you ever bought have worn out,
haven't they ?"
; "Yes," said she, very promptly, " all
of them, I haven't a decent thing to
my name. There is my bombazine "
"Wait a moment," I said, for I was
mortally afraid to have her get up that
topic; "and did you ever buy a dress,
did you ever lmve a dress anyway, that
you didn't have somo misgiving over;
that you didn't see some defect in ; that
you didn't rather wish that you had
bought the other?"
"I believe you are right," she said,
thoughtfully.
"But," I said, " the dress that you
didn't buy has no faults ; you never are
tired of it ; it jiever grows old ; never
fades ; never wears out ; you never
wish you had chosen some other ; or if
you want to change, how easily the
change is made."
" Why, yes," says Mrs. Dobbs, " I
never thought of that before.
"And so." said I, "of your dollar.
You never spent a dollar in your life
that you didn't feel at least a doubt as
to whether vou had spent it wisely.
You wish you had bought something
else. But the wish was vain ; you
couldn't make a change. The dollar
that vou snend vou can spend but once.
but the dollar that you don't spend you
can spend a hundred times. You can
buy a dozen things with it every time
you go out. If you are dissatisfied
with any of your purchases, you can go
back and begin all over ngain. And
so," I continued, "the dollar that you
don't spend does you a great deal more
good than the dollar that you do spend;
and better than all, it brings with it no
regret, no misgivings, even
Mrs. Dobbs looked as though she
didn't know just how to answer me,
but at tho same time as though she

Destruction of Destructive Insects.
Our correspondent in Gadsen county,
Florida, writes as follows :
" During the present week I have re
ceived reports from tbreo different sec
tions of the country announcing the ap
pearance of the dreaded caterpillar.
These are doubtless sporadic cases, and
furnish no basis upon which to predi
cate any ultimate result. While upon
the subject I will state a fact, which is
at least suggestive, and may lead to
good results. Some years ago I was in
formed by Prince Murat (now deceased.

voraciously upon theso pests of the cot-
ton field. The secret advent to that lo-
calify he attributed to the fact that his
negroes were in the habit of cultivating
small patches of rioeiu the damp places,
occurring in different portions of the
plantation. As a confirmation of his
statement, i win Btace a iacs -wmcu
came under my own observation during
the past year. About the time that my
pearance in the fields, aud were rapidly
destroying tne young grass, wnicu we
highly value for fall pasturage. I ob-
served ot the same timo that a large
flock of domestic turkeys with their
young came up of an evening with their
craws very mucu aisienuea. (suspect
ing the cause, I determined to watch
them, and found to my great gratifica
tion that they were feasting upon the
caterpillars. In the course of a day or
two not a worm could be seen, and the
pasturage was saved. These facts sug
gest the idea of introducing into the
cotton region the "English sparrow,"
which, I understand, has proven an ef
fectual safeguard to the ornamental
trees in the vicinity of many of the
Northern cities. From the reported
habits and great fecundity of these
birds, I entertain but little doubt that
if extensively introduced, they would,
in the course of a very few years, prove
an enective antidote to the advent oi
this great enemy of the cotton plant.

About Alligators.
All our alligators, says a Galveston,
Texas, paper, as well as the crocodiles
of the topics, are oviparous. They are
gregarious iu their habits, although
they do not seem to act iu concert in ob
taining their prey. During the winter
season the alligators remain in a state
of torpor, buried generally in the mud
of the marshes and bayous. llie hrst
warm weather restores their suspending
vitality, and a few may then be seen
sunning themselves on logs and other
floating debris.
They nsh principally during thenight
and lie in the sunshine half asleep on
the surface of the water during the day.
A splash in the water, or any slight
noise in fact, will instantly arouse their
attention, and as their curiosity is great
they will slowly swim here and there to
ascertain the cause of the disturbance.
The whine of a puppy seems to excite
them more than aught else ; why, I can
not tell, for it is equally efficacious
where dogs have never previously been
and where it were impossible to suppose
the alligators had ever heard them. The
resemblance to the noise or bark of
their young has been said to be
cause ; but such reasoning is fal
lacious as at seasons when their
young no longer bark, they are
equally attracted by a whine. Their
ferocity and other Jdangerous qualities
liave been very greatly overrated and
exaggerated. That they are extremely
voracious is unquestionable ; but the
7
generally confine their ravages to fish
and other small prey. lhe harrowing
tales of families being devoured by
them are the " veriest coinage of the
brain," and have in reality no existence
whatsoever.
A street in Dubuoue is paved with
lead ore, the refuse of an old mino in

Medicaid Maniacs. There are nam

them like innovations. These medical
maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of

Reduction of Rates.
There is no one thing which the press
iu the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of
such reduction in the premiums charged
for lile insurance as would bring that
protection from want within the reach
of every family. The National Life
Insurance Company of the United
States of America, E. A. Rollins, Presi
dent, Jay Cooke, Chairman of Finance
Committee, capital larger tuan tnat ot
any other life Company in the world,
has placed its rates at about three-quarters
of those charged by most compa
nies, and wants an agent in every local
ity. It has the essential qualities of
strength and cheapness, and we advise
all looking for full or partial employ
ment in life insurance to address the
Company at Philadelphia. Com.

A man may. by industry and economy,
accumulate a large amount of property,
and in the end he may lose it. It is
one thing to make money, and quite
another thing to keep it. There is no
doubt that a life insurance policy in
good company is a good investment in
the majority of instances. The money
is paid when the family most need it.
and it is usually beyond the reach of
creditors. We do not hesitate to reo
