, , When to Cut Grain.
The period of ripening of grain is
that at whiob the grain contains the
largest portion of nutriment. It is not
that at which the grain is hardest or of
the brightest color, or parts moBt roadi
ly from the capsule or envelope in
which it is contained. Indeed, a con
siderable part of the ripening process
should take place in the shock or the
Btack. ' If it is allowed to ripen, or, in
other words, dry and harden completely
while standing, the grain loses much of
us uutriuve properties, as in ciover,
hay, or grass, a large . portion
of the sugar, starch, and gum
is changed into woody fibre by
scanning alter a certain perioa : so
grain is deteriorated by over-ripsning.
The husk becomes developed at the
expense of the kernel, and the yield of
Hour from over-ripe wneat is less than
from that cut in the proper season. My
own practice has been to watch the
fislds closely, especially around the
outside or along the fences, because it
is there that the grain ripens first. As
soon as I find that the. grain shells
renany ana has taken a fine white straw'
color, and when crushed between the
edges of the nails of the thumb and
foreflnjrer produces a powdery, starchv
substance, which Is in no way pasty or
aongny, x turn in tue reaper at once.
If the grain is left until it it is too
hard to be easily crushed in this way,
it is too riue and its nnalitr ia inferior.
From my experience in milling, as well
as farming, 1 ain satisfied that it is best
for the miller as well as the farmer that
wheat, rye, oats, or barley should be
cut at the precise point here described.
When the season is drier than usual I
would hasten the period somewhat.
Bots In Horses.
The complete inefllcacy of the various
popular panaceas for bots in horses
may be better understood when we
come to know something of the nature
of these persistent parasites. They
are not worms, but larva; of a fly, and
are possessed of remarkable powers of
endurance under adversity. The most
insinuating substances are but as milk
and honey to them, and in an instance
recorded, a colony of them attached to
the stomach of a dead horse were in no
way inconvenienced by an hour's ex
posure to a bath of spirits of turpen
tine. But when whale oil was poured
upon them they let go their hold and
died almost instantly. Nw, whale oil
being thus indicated as an effective
dose, and being aperient in its action
upon the horse, would seem to be the
remedy that should be chosen before
any other. At least it might be well to
have some experiments made and the
result carefully notioed and made note
of. Practical Farmer.
Cistei-nia
"A correspondent of the Maine Fat mer
writes : My method of making cisterns
is this : Dig a ciroular hole in the
ground of such size as may be desired,
slanting it in such a manner that the
ground will not cave in, cover the bot
tom and sides of the opening with a
good coat of hydraulio cement, and
when the first coat is sufficiently set
finish it off with a second. This will
soon become hard und firm, and hold
water like a stone jug. The top is cov
ered with a wooden platform, with an
opening sufficiently laige to admit an
entrance for the purpose of cleaning,
and in which a pump is inserted, a
small spout on one side being necessary
to carry off superfluous water. These
are far superior in durability and clean
liness to the wooden tub or cask.
To Destroy Moles.
Bryan Tyson, Washington city, gives
the following method for making pills
to destroy moles : Make a stiff dough
of corn meal, mixing with it a small
quantity of arsenic. Mafce a hole with
a fiDger in the runways, drop in a lump
of dough about the size of a marble,
and then cover over with a lump of
earth to exclude the light. After the
first rain go over the field again and
deposit in all freshly made roads. I
once concluded t o plaut a piece of sandy
bottom land in sweet potatoes ; but as
it was much infested by moles my suc
cess depended on first exterminating
them. A few doses of arsenic given in
the way described brought about the
desired result, and it waa a very rare
circumstance to see the track of a mole
in this piece of ground during the en
tire summer.
A Nest Egg.
To make a nest-egg, take an ordinary
hen's egg, break a small hole in the
small end, about 4 of an inch in di
ameter, extract the contents, and, after
it is thoroughly clear inside, fill it with
powdered slacked lime, tamping it in
order to make it contain as much as
possible. After it is full, seal up with
plaster of paris, and you have a nest
egg which cannot be distinguished by
the hen front the other eggs, and one
which will not cracK (like other eggs)

Fattening by Machinery.
A Philadelphian visiting Paris writes
While visiting the Garden d'Acclimati
zation in Paris I saw a machine used
for the purpose of facilitating the fat
tening of ducks for the tables of epi
cures. As it was new to me, I have
thought a brief allusion to it would not
be amiss. In the building, which is
quite large and handsome, are several
large ciroular frames, having hundreds
of boxes, looking something like
pigeon-holes. These boxes are just
large enough to allow a duck to stand,
their heads being to the front. Near
the frames are machines, in which the
food to be given is placed, having flexv
ble tubes, the ends or which are
placed in the ducks' bills and partly
down the throat. By a verjr simple
movement of a lever the food is forced
into the duck, an indicator, something
like a steam guage, registering the
amount each bird receives. When the
ducks are first placed in the box, it is
necessary to use some force to get the
tube into their mouths, but after being
fed several times they seem to like it,
aud quack lustily when they see the
preparations are completed lor leeding.
The ducks are fattened very rapidly,
and the speculation, it is said, is
profitable one.
A Gourmand.
Abraham Cooper, who lately died in
Ban Francisco, was noted for his gour
mandizing propensities, having some
time before his sudden demise per
formed the interesting feat of eating at
one meal of a hull-hour s duration,
fourteen pound turkey and a loaf of
bread. Upon another occasion he con
sumed live glasses of lager Dee, one
glass of whisky, two bottles of claret,
two classes of gin and one of brandy,
in all aggregating in liquid measure a

THE AMERICAN LOBBYIST.
An Interesting Personal Sketch of the
Man, his Trsulc, end his Victories,
Among all the flourishing trades of
modern times, says the New York
Times, there is none eoualto lobbvinir.
The persons who follow it claim for it
considerable antiquity, and they are al
ways endeavoring to impress upon the
fiuunu uiiuu mat me Dusiness oi pon
tics never was carried on without the
am of lobbyists, and never can be.
Nevertheless, it may be doubted
whether lobbying was a very attractive
or prontauie pursuit until the appear
ance in the field of a man still living,
who practices the occupation with
great shrewdness and tact, and who un
doubtedly possessed a keen insight in
to the characters of men, and a varied
knowledge of publio affairs. He was
founder of the sohool but the pupils
have never attained to the standard of
the master. They are generally coarso
and ignorant men, who have never had
a day's education in theirlivos, and who
carry about them no inconvenient
scruples to interfere with their pro
gress.
There are lobbyists, as we have said.
who are never guilty of double-dealing
or cheating. But we have never heard
of them making fortunes. Ono does
not see them driving fast trotters. The
" square " sort of lobbyist has little
political innuenee, and certainly is not
able to "plaut" all his relations and
dependents comfortably in publio
omces.
The truly flourishing lobbyist plays
his cards in a very different way. Ilia
plan of operations is gouerally some
thing like this : He manages to obtain
control, by fair means or foul usually
by foul of a newspaper. This is his
first step. Country members of the
Legislature are apt to attach much im
portance to seeing their names in a
newspaper it does not much matter
what sort of a newspaper it is. Upon
this weakness the rising lobbyist takes
care to play, with what judgment and
skill he may possess. He praises his
patrons, and abuses all who refuse to
intrnst to him their "business." He
forges letters, invents slanders, and is
particularly expert in accursing his
enemy of being involved in some dis
reputable intrigue with a woman. The
lobbyist who owns a newspaper knows
this is a sort of charge which scares
nine men ont of ten out of their wits
for there is generally no way of dis
proving it, and the world is always
ready to believe the worst of a man.
That is a characteristic of human nature
which the lobbyist turns to excellent
account, so far as his own interests are
concerned.
It is clear, then, that a newspaper be
comes an important aid to the lobbyist
at the outset of his career, and the
longer lie can retain control of it the
more advantage it will be to him. The
majority of men do not like to have lies
published about them, or to see their
families made the subjects of vile and
cowardly slanders. The lobbyist knows
this, and seldom fails to drive his an
tagonist out of the field. We have no
libel law worth mentioning, aud the
lobbyist makes the most of this con
venient circumstance.
He accuses one man of starving his
children, and then of carrying on in
trigues with somebody else's wife in
short, there is no crime which he is not
ready to charge against anybody who
presumes to interfere with his opera
tions. The persons who are slandered
might enter suits for libel, but they
cannot bring their cases to a final hear
ing in less than five or six years at the
very earlitfst. in the meanwhile, the
lobbyist can go on repeating filthy
calumnies as fast as he can invent
them. The result, in the majority of
instances, is that the victims " knuckle
down." It begins to be said by the
persons who are attacked, " So-aud -bo
is a dangerous man, he does not care
what he says about yon. It is best to
leave him alone." And so he is left
alone, and goes on rolling up a fortune
which honest and hard-working pro
fessional men seldom have a chance of
acquiring. One of the Albany lobby
ists is said to be worth 8100,000 ; au
other has made at least 300,000 in the
course cf a few years, and there is
nothing to preqent him doubling it.
The lobbyist s regular souroe of in
come is, of course, derived from his
suppsed knowledge of the art of put
ting out money " where it will elo the
most good." He knows who will take
bribe, and how much the amount
must be. If a company wishes to get
a bill passed, or to prevent some obieo
tionable bill from passing, it summons
the lobbyist to its assistance. Uut,
outside of this kind of work, there are
numerous devices for reaping a large
income. When trade is slack, the lob
byists get together and concoct a bill
aiming at the rights or privileges en
joyed by some company already in ex
istence. They pay a member of the
Legislature to introduce this bill, and
then go up to the threatened company
and tell it the measure is sure to pass
if money is not sent to Albany to de
feat it. They name their own sum ; it
is generally paid ; they divide it ; and
the dreaded bill is no more heard of.
Then the lobbyist has another plan of
making hay while the sun shines. A
company, let us say, applies to him to
get a bill passed. He tells the agents
he shall want at least S20.0U0. The
money is paid, and he goes to Albany
with it, and pays out say $5,000 among
the bribable members. The remaining
815,000 he quietly puts into his own
pocket.
Jf the bill passes, the company are
satisfied, and never ask a question
about the allair. if it does not pass
they may ask questions, but they will
get no information out of the lobbyist.
" Where did you put out the money ?"
he may be asked. His reply, expressed
in warm terms of indignation, is usually
in this vein: "Do you think I will
tell you the names of the members
whom I have bribed? No. I am
bound to protect them. What do you
take me for ? I would have you to know
that I am an honorable man, and I trust
you will never insult me in this way
again." The head of the company be
gins to feel that he really has acted
rather shabbily, and the lobbyist goes
forth with his seventy-five per cent,
plunder comfortably stowed away in
his pockets. It is a game in which
there is scarcely the least probability
of his being found out certainly not
one chance in a thousand.
By these means, almost any man who
follows up the trade for a few years may
amass from $300, 000 to $100,000. It may
involve a certain loss of character, but
not very much. People look askance
at the lobbyist, but generally they will
be too much afraid of him and his
newspaper to say what they think of
him. And then he has money, and
money will buy almost anything. The
lobbyist gets all the society he wants,
and may even boast as one did the
other day of being asked to dinner by
the President, and by "Mr. Gsorge
W. Childs, of Philadelphia." Surely
that ia enough to satisfy any man's
social ambition. And even if these
privileges were denied to the lobbyist,
he would probably not take the loss
muoh to heart. From a barefooted and
ragged-breeohed boy he has been trans
formed into a wealthy citizen, owning
houses and lands, with all his poor re
lations provided for by a generous pub
lie: and with the prospect before him of
ending his days as a millionaire in a
"palatial mansion." Such a reward as
this is auite sufficient to make the
trade of lobbying one of the most popu
lar of the day, and its brilliant success
is one of the signs by whioh we may
judge of the improvements which we
are making in the political and moral
ideas and principles bequeathed to us
by the "Fathers."
The Boy yf Kh a White Eye.
The boy with the white eye has con
fessed to thermurder of the little girl
whose body was found in a South Bos
ton collar a few days ago. He is now
in jail for the murder of the boy Mil
Ion. Scientists have examined his case
and pronounced it one of curious ab
normal aberration. Since he was an
infant his whole nature has been taint
ed with brutality, aud his chief amuse
ment has been the infliction of pain.
In a word, he was, and is, a young In
dian of the worst typo, with the soul of
a beast. Not content with killing, he
mutilates grotesquely and horribly the
bodies of his victims. He loves to
dabble in blood, to feel it warm on his
hand. He delights to observe the in
tense look of agony upon the childish
face gradually oblitered by the shadow
of death. Such is Jesse Pomeroy, the
boy with the white eye. He has no ex
cuse to offur for his crimes, save that
ho cannot help committing them. He
is eighteen years old, and is possessed
of keon common sense and a fair share
of educational intelligence. He lacks
the moral quality. He is a creature
without conscience, as was Margrave.
the strange creation of Bui wer.
Eugene Hue, in his "Mysteries of
Paris," has sketched with remarkable
power a character which he calls " The
Slasher," and which mnst seem to most
readers as an impossible sort of man.
The Slasher comes up from the slums ;
he has had the dreadful training which
the worst neighborhoods ef Paris are
capable of giving. He was a murderer;
but is hnaliy redeemed. This Slasher
had at one time been a butcher, and he
is represented as going thoroughly wild
over the sight of blood. To kill sheep
and oxen produced in him an ecstacy,
a delirium of the maddest joy. He
asted like a demon in the slaughter
house ; he forgot his surroundings; the
sight and smell of blood brought on a
perfect craze.
There are men who doubt the exist
ence of any such influences. But the
story of this boy murderer shows that
there wa3 a basis for the fearful sketch
of the Slasher.
The mother of the boy tells a strange
story, one that will attract the closest
study of medical men, and of theolo
gians, for the question of moral respon
sibility in ins case is not easily settled.
The mother is sooken of as a pleasant,
intelligent lady. She told the physi
cians that "her husband was a butcher,
and that a short time before the birth
of the boy she was in the habit of go
ing daily to the slaughter house to wit
ness the killing of the animab, and
that, somehow, she took a particular
delight in seeing her husband butcher
the sheep, the calves and the cattle,
and not unfrequently she assisted him
m this bloody work. She also said
that after Jesse was born, and became
old enough to have a knife in his hand,
he was all the time, when opportunity
offered, sticking a knife into pieces of
meat, and when a little older and about
his father's market, he did the same
thing. He was simply marked by his
mother, just as other children have
been, only in a different way."
It is an awful thing to think that such
a story as this is true, and that even the
moral character may thus be influenced
by such paternal accidents. The physi
cal effects of such accidents are well
known, and in " Elsie Venner," Oliver
Wendell Holmes gives in a masterly
way his theory of the effects of such
events as told by the mother of young
ronieroy upon the intellect and soul.
When we think what might be done
in converse of all this in the pre-natal
culture of mankind, we see what a
grave responsibility rests upon every
family physician.
Saved by a Covr.
Little Henry Groff still lives in Man
ortown. Pa., thanks to an intelligent
cow. The story of his singular rescue
the Lancaster Examiner tells thus:
"Just after a heavy rain storm, Groff
was saved from a grave by a cow which
he was driving home. A number of
cows were pasturing on the farm of To'
bias Seachrist, in Manortownship, and
had crossed a small run which passed
through the premises. The boy, who
is very young, was sent for the cows.
and he had crossed the run, which was
very much swollen by the rain, on
small foot bridge. Two of the cows
proceeded along quietly and passed
through the run, but the third would
not cross it, notwithstanding the little
boy urged her on determinedly. Seeing
that she refused to go across, the boy
thought he would leave her where she
was and drive the other cows to the
barn. He stepped upon the frail
bridge, and, just as he was neaf the
middle, the structure snapped asunder
and preoipitated him into the swiftly
flowing waters below. The cow seemed
to comprehend that the boy was in dan
ger of being drowned, for she instantly
E lunged into the stream below the
ridge, and as the little chap floated up
to her she appeared to wait for him, an
advantage that he was not slow to take,
He clasped her around the neck and
legs and was drawn hastily to shore,
terribly frightened, but not much the
worse off bodily by his experience."

Materia Medica to which our attontion
has been recently directed. We refer
to Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar

(Tho following extract ia from an Editorial Arti
cle which appeared in the Buffalo A'ew ol May 3d,
1874.J
Mammoth Establishment and an
Enterprising Proprietor.
It is hardly necessary for us to call attention
to the whole page communication from Dr. It.
V. Tierce, of the World's Dispensary, which
appears in this insue, as at least every invalid
suffering from Chronlo Diseases must see and
take a lively interest In the sound, common
Hense Ideas therein set forth, rb well as in the
indisputable evidences of wonderful cures that
are given.
iiullalo lias several business establishments
of which she may justly feel proud, but few,
if any indeed, that has acquired such world-
wme roputation asinatoi ur. 1'ieroe "The
World's Dispensary." This establishment well
merits its appellation, "The World's Dispen
sary," as it is, without doubt, the largest and
most complete of its kind that can be found
anywhere, and medicines are prepared within
its walls that find a ready sale in every quarter
of the globe In fact the foreign trado forms
no small part of the business.
A visit to the shipping department, which is
on the flrst iloor, gives one a slight idea of the
colossal proportions of the business there
trausacted. Here the visitor may see, as we
did, largo piles of boxes being shipped to
wholesale houses in every part of the laud,
a'.so to foreign countries even China and
Japan contributing to the demand for those
popular mediciues. The .Doctor has achieved
the immense patronage and demand for his
celebrated remedies by his great skill as a phy-
niiaii. iiio pupenui uui&uvo virtues OI lllO
remedies he has discovered, and his honorable
doaliuRH, indomitable will and ceaseless indus
try. The cures that ho has effeoted have often
been wonderful, in fact, almost miraculous,
having frequently been effected, as he has
shown us by ample evidence, after many emi
nent physicians in succession had failed. This
success lias had the effect to cive him an im
mouse practice at the World's Dispensary, so
that, in a simile month, he probably treats and
cures more cases of inveterate Chronic Dis
eases than most phvsicians, in ordinary prae
tice, treat in a whole life time. His practice
has become so large that he is obliged to
employ four physicians to assist him iu the
examination and treatment of cases. And in
the selection of his professional assistants he
has spared no expense to secure men of thor.
ough modical education, and who have been
well sumed in the school or experience. Each
devotes his whole time aud attention to a
specialty, whilo Dr. Pierce, who has not only
rcoeived decrees from at least two nf the firuY
Modical Colleges iu the laud, the evidence of
which, in the shape of Diplomas, we noticed
uatitrmt? in his ofhee, but has also the advan.
tage of an immense experience, is in constant
consultation with them ovar the more diflicult
cakes. Thus the patient has not only tho
beuefit of Dr. Pierce's large experience, but
also that of a Council of Physicians, each
(killed in Ins particular specialty. Besides all
these assistant physicians, iu the dispenary
department aro also employed a Bhort-haud re
porter, to assist in correspondence, and dis
pensing or drug clerks, each skilled in his
business, that the Doctor's prescriptions may
be compounded with the greatest caro. Who
ever has observed, as wo have, the crowd of
patients almost constantly in tho reception
rooms at tho World's Dispcnsarv, and has
heard the heartfelt expresi-ionB of gratitudo
and praise which they lavishly bestow upon
the honorable and woi thypropriotor, cannot
fail to aprree with us that'the diliirent medical
devotion, patient industry and unconquerable
energy mac nave enauied ur. fierce to achieve
bo much, have at the same time conferred a
real blessing upon suffering humanity. We
publish the-above, not as a ' paid puff,"' but as
only a fair representation of one of the first
business men of the land, whose fame is be
oontinp world-renowned, and whose enterprise
contributes in no small degree to the prosperi
ty of tha city, giving employment to large
numbers, and in other various ways promot
ing the general welfare of the peeple. Com;

progress. Nothing an atop It, for It ts founded ou
the principle, now universally acknowledged, that

that PiiANTATioa Bittees is a peerless lnvlgorant,

doctor In Philadelphia was caught changing tha
celebrated Mexicau bIustaio Lixiueit into other
bottles, and using it as his cwn recipe. Honesty
la always tha best policy. These medicine men
like to follow up sueh fellows.- It cured the lame
horse all tha same; bnt 'it damaged the Doctor's
reputation, and benefited the proprietor tu pro
portion. We have heard of ie many Bheumatlo
parsons and lama horses being cured by the Mcs
Tana LuiiMiNT that we advise every housekeeper,
liveryman and planter to invest in a 60 ct. or J 1.00
bottle, against aooldant. Beware of counterfeits.

suffrage to Hair preparations and Pimple Banlak
rs. They declared tna where nature bad not
endowed thfm with btautr.lt wi their right
yea, tholr dutjr to ioek It whers they eouU. So
they voted that Maohoha Balh overcame Sallow
bom, Bough Skin and Ringmarke, and gave to the
complexion a noit aiiigut (Soroslan) and marble-Ilka
appearance (dangerous to men, no doubt) t
and that Ltoh'i Kathairom made tha hair grow
thick, loft ana awful pretty, and moreover pre
vented It from turning gray. If the proprietor! of

they are not smart.

Dr. .1. Walker's California Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable)
preparation, mado chiefly from the na
tive herbs found on tho lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted tlierefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is tho cause of the
unparalloled Buccess of Vixeqar Bit
ters!" Our answer is, that they remov
the cause of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They aro the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Itonovator and invigorator
of the system. Never before in th
history of tha world has a medicine been
compounded poRseBsing the remarkable
qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the)
eick of every disoaso man ia hoir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonio,
relieving Congestion or Iuiiamniation ol
the Liver and Viacoral Organs, in Biiiom
Diueasos.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
