FARM AND GARDEN. GROWING PECAN NUTS. —It iscertain ]J R to DC regretted that our people eau uot more fully appreciate the pecan as a crop to be cultivated. Thousands upon thousands of well-arranged and carefully cultivated groves ought now to ho coming 011 ill all parts of the low er Mississippi valley; yet, strange as it may seem, they are just about as few and far between as angels' visits. Why ? I cannot tell, unless it is mere ly another case of the "prophet in his own country," the pecan being "only a wild tree," you know. Possibly we would ail have English walnuts, would they grow with us as readily as does the pecan, and yet there is always a de mand for the fruit of the pecan, and it is really more proti table than that of the English walnut. Wc ought to put out pecan trees. Neglecting to do so may bo wronging ourselves, and it is un doubtedly wronging the generation to come after us. There can be no doubt of the faet that the man who leaves to his posterity a flourishing grove of pe can trees, leaves them a legacy almost as good as a gold mine. That is what they say concerning the olive groves in the Old World, and a pecan grove, properly cared for. would be worth, all tilings considered, just about as much as an olive grove of the same site. The pecan starts readily from seed: most of the nuts ottered for sale in the shops will germinate promptly if care fully plauted, It likes low. rich, bot tom land, not permanently wet, though it will do very well on uplands and in soil of almost any character. In a word, any soil that will sustain an ap ple or a peach orchard, will do for the pecan; and it is a tree of much wider range than is generally supposed. 1 have seen as flue pecans growing in the woods along the Mississippi river, one hundred miles above St. Louis, as ever grew in the State of Texas. PEAR BLIGHT. —The cause of pear blight and its cure is given by the Gardener's Monthly as follows: "It has been shown by careful microscopic ex amination in its earliest stages that the disease is caused by a minute fungus which develops in the bark and pene trates inwardly, destroying the cell structure as it proceeds. The fungus is so small that the distinguished inves tigator, Dr. J, Gibbons Hunt, under a powerful microscope, could not dis tinguish the species; but this is of 110 consequence. This being the cause of the disease, the preventive is obvious. Any one who is in a neighborhood lia ble to blight can have immunity by washing bis trees annually with lin> seed oii. sulphur wash or other tniugs that will kill a fungoid spore without injury t the bark. Of course spores may get into a crevice where the w ash es cannot reach, and hence there may be some eases where, even though lire trees be washed, there will be disease, has been so clearly demonstrated and the remedy so patent, that cases of 'lire blight' only prove ignorance or ne glect." COMPOST heaps maj- be made of muck or earth lor a basis; to this may be ad ded leaves, cotton-seed, ashes, gyps urn, nigkt-soil, stable manure, trash irom the fields (except weeds 111 seed), and all the slops from the houses and cabins. Plenty of water should be added. By turning the heap the compost will be flue enough to use in the hill for corn. IT desired, bone dust may be added, but tine artificial fertilizers will be bet ter if used by themselves. To TELL A HORSES AGE. —Alter a horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes to the eyelid, at the upper corner of he lower lid, and every year thereafter he has one well denned wrinkle for each year of his age over nine. It, tor in stance, a horse has three wrinkles'lie is twelve; it four, thirteen. Add the number of wrinkles to nine and you will always get it. Arctic Areauiaiu*. Atout 250 years ago theTsehuktschi were distinguished as gallant warri ors. The discoverers have gathered a valuable assortment of the arms and armor of that period. Many of these implements are preserved among the families, whose habits are no longer aggressive. Very noticeable are curi osities, carefully wrought out of mam moth ivory and fashioned with a re markable resemblance to the old Roman panoply. Their spears and bows are made of whale-bone, wood and ivory, spliced and bound with the sinews of the reindeer, and showing an advanced perception of anisic ornamentation on the part of the makers. One hun dred and fifty years ago the famous Russian, Col. PauJovski, commanded an expedition sent against them from Sibe rian settlements. In his first engage ment with tnem he was badly worsted, lie subsequently defeated them but with heavy loss to his own troops, and has recorded much such a tribute to their valor as Pyrrhus bestowed upon the Italiou legions which lie ovenan. strangely enough, they have no gover nicnt, no laws, and almost no religion, if any. A Russian Starost is their nominal ruler, but has neither author ity nor influence. Very little foreign clothing i 3 employed by them, their vestments being almost exclusively of skin. The nation probably numbers 10,000 souls ot whom one-half inhabit the littoral between Tschaun Bay and Behring Strait ard the other half dwell in the interior of the country. On the whole it is impossible to ima gine a more Arcadian race, though no philosopher has yet expected to discov er Arcadia so near the North pole. A people without c&iefs and without criminals, experiencing no difficulty in the distribution of the product of their joint exertions in fishing and hunting, whose sole sign of pride of wealth or fancy is the possession of a boat a lit tle larger than ordinary, may well de serve the respect they have earned from Nordenßkjold and his party and prove lifting subjects for further ethnological study. A Word to Workers. If your avocations are mentally or physicall; laborious, if they subject you to exposure it inclement weather, if they confine you to the desk aud are of a nature to involve wear anc tear oi brain, and nervous s'rain, you may oc casionally require some renovating tonic. Hos tet er's stomach Difct- rs is the article for you: it stimulates the failing energies, invigorates the body and cheers the mind. It enables the system to throw off the debilitating effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the or gans t f digestion, arouses the liver when ifi ne ive, which it veiy often is with people ulrose pursuits are sedentary, renews the jadtd appetite, and encourages healthful re pose. its ingredients are sale, and its cre dent als. which consist in the hearty endorse ment of persons of every class of society, are most conv.ucing. Admirablv is it adap ed to the medical wants ol' workers. DOMESTIC. SOMEBWEET SAUCES. —1 rather think pudding sauces are English rather than French, as French cooks, at least such as I have seen, rarely go in for much sweetening. It's very much of a mistake to make a pudding sauce too greasy or pasty, llore is a fair receipt tor a sauce good for puddings: 1. Grate half the rind of a lemon, and add to it an ounce and a half of white sugar and two tablespoonsfuls of water, and let it simmer for ten minutes; take an ounce of butter and wash it thoroughly in fresh water, changing the water twice; mix that with not more than a half tea spoonful of flour (more flour than that spoils it); stir that Into the sugar and lemon and let it. boil, but not for a longer time than two minutes; when it is cooling put in a tcaspoonful of lemon juice and a wineglassful of Medeira. 1 think the sumo quantity of good, sound rod wine is just as good. Warm it all gently once more. If you boil it after wine is put in the flavor of the wine goes off. Tills is for fancy, delicate puddings. Sauce No. :2 for dumplings —This is a rough-and-tumble kind of sauce and goes with duff or almost any thing. Equal parts of brown sugar and butter well mixed up, into which you have put the yolk of an egg. Put it over a light lire and keep stirring it all the time, letting it simmer but not al lowing it to boil, -lust before serving it add a piucli of cinnamon to it and a iittle grated nutmeg. So. 3, liard sauce —Duo ounce of butter and a quarter of a pound of brown sugar (white sugar is not good), beat it up to a cream and add a tablespoonful of brandy and some nutmeg. _ THE ladies sing "in the sweet 'buy' and'buy' we will meet in that beauti ful store," and we certainly can raise no objection. Hut remember the little ones at homo and do not leave the nurse without a bottle of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. EXCELLENT GLYCERINE OIN I MKXT. — A very good perparation of glycerine to have always 011 hand, can be readily prepared by any apothecary or drug gist : In twoounces of Sweet Oil of Al monds melt, by a slow heat, half an ounce of Bpermaeetti, and one drachm of White Wax. Then add one ounce of good Glycerine stirring until cold. When cold, scent it br stirring in well a little Oil of Roses. Keep in small jars or small wide-necked bottles. In hot weather keepclosely corked, as it some times gets a little rancid ii long exposed to warmth. Half or a fourth of the above quantities may be used. Every drug store should keep ajar of it, and recommend its use. It is excellent lor softening the skin, for most injured skin surfaces that are not open sores;* for chafed places, for moistening corns or eallused feet or toes, and especially for chapped face. Hps, or hands. When tiehamfsare chapped or cracked, or roughened by cold, wash them ciean with soap, and nip them well with this glycerine ointment, wiping it off enough to prevent soiling clothing. If this is done at night, the hands will he sost and in good condition is flic morn ing, except when deeply cracked. It is very good to apply to the hands after "washing-day " This is an excellent preparation to use by those atllicted witn the distressing trouble known as luemorrhoids or piles. BAR SOAP. —Six pounds soda ash. three pounds unslacked lime, eight gallons water; put into a kettle when bailing hot, strain and return to the kettle; add twelve pounds ot clean grease; boil slowly three hours; add one-half pound finely pulverized borax, dissolved in a little hot water, stir well and let cool in the kettle or turn into wooilen molds well soaked ir. water. Cracklings or meat trimmings will do for this soap ii allowed for waste, but be careful not to allow too much, there by getting too much grease in. OPIUM is the most dangerous drug, especially when given to children in the stiape of a soothing remedy. Dr. Bull's l>abv Syrup is warranted not to contain opium in any form and is the most innocent and efficacious remedy for children teething. Price 25 cents a bottle. FOAM SAUCE. —One teacup white sugar, three-fourths of a cup butter, one tablespoon flour, on® egg beaten together; then place over the fire and stir in rapidly three gills of sweet milk, and season with nutmeg. About Carpet-Sweeplug .Sweeping is a good exercise if you can avoid raising a dust, but if you aro in need of vigorous exercise of that kind, get a hoe and betake yourself to the potato-patch or corn-field. Sweep carpets gently. Even a rag-carpet should be treated with consideration. A severe digging with a still' broom wears the warp and scrapes out the lint or tilling quite needlessly. Not long ago I heard a woman say that a still broom was needed to sweep a Brussels carpet. I thought to mysell "a slili broom will never do to sweep my Brus sels carpets "(good reason why !) TJS I imagined the tearing out of the soft tufting of the carpet by the course, sharp broom splints. A carpet sweep er is the best thing for this purpose. It does the work easily and well, and saves dust. A'.brush of hair and dust pan are good to use for the nicest car pets, but their use is too laborious for recommendation to a busy house-keep er. If a common broom corn broom must be used for Brussels, it should be tine, soft, light and clean. To sweep up threads, ravelings, and other line litter, many poisons wot the broom in clean tepid water, shaking out the water before? sweeping with it, just keeping the broom moist enough to wipe up the fine dust and threads, rinsing in clean water and shaking U frequently as the work progresses. Brussels carpets are not suitable for rooms where sewing and baby culture is going forward. lu providing carpets for any room, reason would dictate that they be such as may be easily kept clean; not sowdark as to show every dust and thread, nor so light as to be very easily soiled. Something that will either let the dust sift through or re tain it on the surface, rather than in the carpet itself, when it is used in rooms where dust is made. Summer's Beat. relaxes the system and renders us lia, le to attacks of diarrhoea, dysentrv, blood-llux, cholera-morbus, cramps in stomach, colic, and other painful and dangerous ejections for which Dr Pierce's Compound Extract of Smart need— compounded from the best rench brandy, Jamaica ginger, smart or , wa ter-pepper, anodyne, soothing and healing gums and balsams, n breaking up colds, feyers, and in n^i^ a K ory attaeks - Fvery household bhould be supplied with it.

In the very first chapter she may bo abducted by a black-hearted villain and be threatened with instant death 011 every other page and swallow a pint of strychine in the middle of the hook, but she will conic out all right in t he last chapter and marry Claude Edgar Fitzclarence Montmoreuci, who turns out to be another man's son and falls heir to $2,000,000 by Ihe death of an uncle in Australia, who went there a year previous a poor man ; and the girl's father, who wanted her to marry the villain, w ill put his hands on their heads and say, "Hless you, my chil dren;" ami the villain aforesaid will look daggers and things at them and grit his teeth as he moves off handcuff ed 111 charge of an officer. It always turns out that way. R Kuril AND HONOR. —Query:—What is the best family medicine in the world to regulate the bowels, purify the blood, remove costiveiitss ami biliousness, aid digestion and tone up the whole sys tem ? Truth and honor compels us to answer, Hop Bitters, being pure, per fect and harmless. Ed. See another column. A LEARNED doctor of Germany has discovered a means of dyeing human eyes any color he likes. He calls it "Ocular Transmuratiou. He 'can not only give fair ladies eyes as black as night or as blue as the azure, heavens, but he can change them to the hue ot silver or ot gold with advantage to the sight. Ladies can now have eyes to match their red—we mean auburn hair. The doctor's terms for coloring a pair of eyes are not stated; but if a man wants his optics change! to a black and blue hue, he will probabiy find it cheaper to call a man bigger than him self a liar. The ocular transmutation process, however, doe>n't improve the sight. Rather otherwise. "I WAS not aware that you knew him," said Tom Smith to an Irish friend the other day. "Knew him?" said he, in a tone which comprehended the knowledge of more than one life. "I knew him when his father was a boy." DIP you ever notice the fact—of course you have —that a tramp who claims he has a trade, but can get no work at it, in the w inter is a brick maker, and lu summer a lumberman or ice sawyer? IN 1850 THE "BRONCHIAL TROCHES" were introduced, and from that time up to the present their success in folds, Coughs, Asthma and Bronchitis has been unparalleled. No household should be without" Brora's lironchial Troches" as by their early use most troubles of the Throat induced by coin can be overcome. A BOISTEROUS, ill-bred fellow in a dispute culled his adversary "110 gentle man." 1 suppose you think yourself one?" was the reply. "Certainly I do," answered the bully. "Then," said the other, "I am not offended that you don't think me one." MAKIN A GOOD PICTURE. — Photo grapher—Madam, why do you persist in moving so near the camera? Old Lady—You see, 1 am a little near-sight ed, and I'm afeard I won't take a good picture so far off. GRAVE RUN MILLS, Baltimore eo., Md. MESSRS. KENNEDY & Co.: —The Carboline is making young hair come on my bald h ad. I'cTER F. SHEARER. This is a fair sample of the certifi cates which are received daily at the Pittsburg otlice. " Boy, may I inquire where Robin son's drug store is?' "Certainly,sir," replied the boy respectfully. "Well, sir," said the gentleman, after waiting awhile, "where is it?" 4- I have not the least idea," said the urchin. A LITTLE boy, three years old, who had been looking out of the window for a few minutes at a beautiful red sunset, exclaimed • "Mother, look how fore the poor sky is." THEY were inspecting a group of statuary and she asked him who that female figure was. He said he wasn't certain about it, at least it was a barren waist. BABY SAVED.— We are so thankful to say that ou. baby was cured of a dangerous and protracted irregularity of the bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its mother, which at the same time restored her perfect health and strength.—The Parents, Rochester, N.

IMNon & Cu. Four years ago Messrs. J. E. IMisoi & Co., the Philadelphia branch f tin universally known house of Oliver Ditson & Co., of Boston, the inst ex tensive music publishers in the United States, put chased and succeeded to the business ot Messrs. Lee it Walker, at that time the largest publishers south of New York. Messrs. .1. E. Ditson & Co., have continued at the same lo cation (No. 022 Chestnut street), and so rapid has been the growth of their business that they have recently aug mented their by the purchase of the catalogue of C. Andre & Co. v, which alone comprises 4800 music plates), and whoso old place of business, No. 1225 Chestnut street, will be, .January Ist, the base of operations of Messrs. liitsou & Co. Alterations to meet the require ments of their vast business are now in progress, and all the Indications point [oits becoming one of the most attrac tive stores on Chestnut street. To briefly outline the scope of the altera tions, we will state that the flrnt floor will be devoted to their retail trade; the basement, to hook stock; the sec ond story, to the piano department ;where their present gratifyingly -toady business in selling and renting new and secoud-hai d pianos will doubt less he ampliiied); me third story, to their surplus siock. The whole busi ness will be conducted in the rear half Dt°the basement and lirst floor. The dmple presentation oi the fact that Messrs. Ditson fc Co. are the publishers of 80,000 pieces of sheet music and up wards of 2l)'l!> music books, the agents for .Novello, Ewer A Co.'s English pub lications, and dealers in foreign and American music and musical inerchan lise generally, earrics with It an ob vious significance. . Out meal. Gatmeal is a food of great strength and nutrition, having claims to be bet ter known ami more widely used than it is at present. Of much service as a bra,n food, it contains phosphorus enough to keep a man doing an ordi nary amount of brain work in good health and vigor. All medieal author ities unite in the opinion thai eateu with milk, it is a perfect food, and, having all the requisites for the proper development of the system, it is a pre eminently useful lood for growing children and the young generally. Gat meal requires much cooking to effec tually burst its starch cells, but when it is well cooked it will thicken liquid much more than equal iis weight in w beaten lluur. The oats of this coun try uro superior to those grown 011 the Coiulnent and the southern parts of England, but certainly inferior to the Scotch, whore considerable pains is taken to cultivate them, and it is need loss to point out that the Scotch are an example of a strong and thoroughly ro bust nation, which result is justly set down as being derived from the pleh tilul use of oatmeal. I>r. Guthrie lias asserted that his countrymen have the largest heads of any cation in the world —not even the English have such large heads—which he attributes to the uni versal use of oatmeal; as universal it k, being found aiike on the tables ot the rich and on the tables of the poor —in the morning the porridge and in the evening the traditional cake. The two urineipal ways of cooking oatmeal are porridge and cake (bannock),which 1 will describe, and also some other modes of cooking, in order to all'ord an agreeable variety of dishes. First, then, we will commence with a receipt lor porridge. To three pints of boi.- ing water add a level tcaspoontul of salt and a pint of coarse meal, stirring while it is being slowly poured in; continue stirring until the meal is dii fused through the water —about eight or ten minutes. Cover it closely then, and place it where it will siuihicr for an hour; avoid stirring during the whole of that time, Srve hot, with as iittle messing as possible, accompanied with milk, maple syrup or sugar and cream. To make oatmeal cake, place in a bowl a quart of meal, add to it as much cold water as will form it into u soft, light dough, cover it with a cloth fifteen minutes to allow it to swell, then dust the pasteboard with meal, turn out the dough and give it a vigor ous kneading. Cover it with the cloth a few minutes, and proceed at once to roll it out to the eighth of an inch in thickness; cut it in live pieces and part ly cook them on a griddle, then finish them by toasting them in front of the lire.

If you would have your flesh Anu, yonr bones sound, without caries, and yourco - Stolon fair, use Radwaj't Sarsaparillian Insolvent. A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION. "To cure a CHRONIC or LONG STANDING DDKASH Is truly a victory in the healing art; that reason ing power that clearly discerns DRFROT and sup plies a remedy; that restores step by step—by degrees—the body which has been slowlv at tacked and weakened by nn Insidious disease, not only commands our respect but deserves our grail'ude. Dr. Radway has furnished man kind with that wonderful remedy, Bodway*s Narnnp,trillion Resolvent which accom plishes this result, and suffering humanity, who drag out an existence of pain and disease, through long days and long nights, owe Mm their gratitude. "—Jit, icl Mtat?ng*r. FALSE AND TRUE. We extract from Dr. Rj/lway's "T eatlse on disease and Its Cure," as follows: List or Disease* Cared by Radway's Sarsaparillian Resolyent. Chronic Skin Diseases, Carles of the Bone, Humors In the Blood, Scrofulous Dlse ses. Bivd or unnatural Habit or Body, Syphilis and Vene real, Fever Sores. Chronic or old Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Rickets, White swelling. Sral i IIed, Uterine Affections. Cankers, Glandular swell ings. Nodes. Wasting and Dec-ty of the Body, Pimples nnd Blotches Tumors, Dyspepsia. Kid ney ad Bladder Diseases, chronic Ith umatlstn and Goui, Consumption, Gravel and Calculous Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints to which sometimes are given specious names. We assert that there Is no known remedy that possesses the curative power over these dis eases th t RAIIWAY'S RESOLVENT furnishes. It cures stop by step surely, from the founda tion, and restores the Injured parts to their sound condition. Thf waatenof the body ore stopped and healthy blood Is sap plied to the system, from which new ma i-rlal 1-formed. This is the flsst corrective p wer of RADWAT'S RESOLVENT In cases where the system has been salivated and Mercury, Ciutckdiver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu lated and become deposited in the bones, Joints, eic.. causing carles or the bones, ricke's. soln.il curvatures, contortions, white swellings, vari cose veins, etc.. the SAKSAFARILLIAN will resolve away thoae deposits an I exterminate the virus of the dtsease from the system. ft If those who arc taking tlu se medicine* for the cure of Chromic.
