"Pocket Burroughs" In the British Parlia
ment.
"Pocket burroughs" derive their
quaint appellation from the fact that
the individual commanding their votes
carries them, as it were, in his pocket.
Not all the pocket burroughs, however,
are under patrician control; the purse
of Plutus holding influence over a good
ly number of them. It is a well-known
tact that there are scores of them pur
chasable as any other commodity of the
market can be bought up. lock, stock
and barrel, and are so bought. The
late commission of inquiry into contest
ed elections gave ample evidence of this,
having brought to light the astrounding
revelation that the voters of seyer&l such
burroughs—not small ones either—were
bribed, almost to a man! Mauy of them
even boasted of the large sums they had
received, after stipulating for, and
chaffering over there, without thought
of shame or qualm of conscience.
One would naturally expect lhat a
candidate for Parliamentary honors
would be required to give some proof
of his fitness for Parliamentary duties.
But m boroughs like these no such
qualification is needed. With them,
political and knowledge of
statesmanship—or, indeed, other know
ledge of auy useful kind—are the least
and last things thought of. Money will
make them take the wall; aud well the
man of money knows it—feels as certain
of entering Parliament, if he only pays
the price, as he would of au opera box
by purchasing a ticket. It is simply a
question of hew muoh he is disposed to
pay; and that he arranges w.tb the
electioneering agent, who in turn makes
it square with the electors. There are
always constituencies open to represen
tatives of this kind, and who care for
no other, and would not have any other.
Nor does the candidate need to be resi
dent among them or even have previons
acqua ntaiice with them. He may be a
total stranger of unknown antecedents,
brought lrom some distant part of the
ooumry—Bon don or elsewhere his first
introduction to his constituency that is
to be given him by the iocal lawyer who
acts as his electioneering agent, often
only a few days before the election.
But the lawyer himself has been pre
viously made acquainted with his
legislative capabilities by having heard
the jingle of u>B gold. This communi
cated to the covetous constituency has
a marvelous, almost magical, effect, aud
presto! the unkuowu Plutus, who may
he the veriest adventurer, becomes one
of the Senatorial grandees of the great
British Empire, on which the sun never
sets!
Down the Flume.
Ed. Falconer, lormly railroad station
agent at Durham, now working in the
mills at Smoky Flat, came to Chico,
Cal., recently in the flume. He started
from the mountains about 7 o'clock in
the morning, when the atmosphere was
cold and crisp, making one wish for an
overcoat. He mounted a raft and
shoved of£ and did stop until he had
reached a warm and sunny station along
the watery side. Traveling in the flume
is dangerous but exciting sport. One
is sometimes gliding smoothly along on
level water, and then is suddenly dashed
forward on a down grade at an almost
lightning speed, with the boat or raft
riding at a seeming angle of 45 degrees.
Along the flume, through the canyons
the most picturesque scenery"t£e
Sierras which would make the heart of
a true artist leap with joy. Very few
accidents have ever occurred on the
Sierra Lumber company's flume, but
if there should be a break at some of
the high places, a person riding along
would suddenly be dashed into 4 'king
dom come." Biding down the flume has
a striking similarity to sliding down the
a hill on a sled—it is fun to shoot down
ward with a tremendous velocity, but
difficult to ascend.
Very few persons are allowed to ride
in the flume, and it is only by hard ef -
forts that the mill hands can get permiss
ion to make tne trip to Chico. Boxes
of trout are sent down from the tourists
to their friends in the valley, and a few
years ago this wonderful forty-mile
length ot flume was used as a sort of
message-carrier in bringing down orders
for supplies and calls for physicians, the
messages being written on a board or
nailed up m a small box. But now,
since we are connected with the mount
ains by telephone, the custom of mes
sage sending by water has "gone up the
flume."
Japanese Farui Lite.
Something more than one-hall the
population of the empire, of Japan is
agricultural, and the half of these are
women. In 1874. 12,000,000 acres were
under cultivation, or about three-fourths
of an acre per head of the farming
population; but the tillage is most
t orough, and two ciops are invariably
raised each year. All farm labor is hard
labor. A plow is seldom seen, and
labor saving machines are unknown.
Wages for farm labor seem low. Thir
ty- five dollars a year with board, or
fifty dollars with out board, for a man
and ten dollars with board and twenty
five to thirty dollars with out it, for a
woman ; and then, as the clothing for
a laborer costs but four or five dollars a
year, and he gets a three-room (bamboo
and paper) house for eight or ten dollars
a year, and clothing for family of four
or five costs not to exceed twenty dol
lars, and his garden will produce one
half oi his living, the farm laborer is
not in a desperate condition, and being
exceedingly frngal, he manages to lay
up something every year. Yet the
Japanese farmers are prosperous. Near
ly all can read, write, and keep farm
accounts, while the boys are sent to
school and the girls taught music and
needle work at home, and there is not a
house, not even among the coolies, or
laborers, that does not have its bath
room, which is put in use every morn
ing.
Chinese Wedding.
Previous to the great day the bride
groom gets a new hat and takes a new
name, while the lady, whjse hair has
hitherto hung down to her heels in a
single heavy plait, at the same time be
oomes initiated into the style of hair
dressing prevalent among Chinese mar
ried ladies, which consists in twisting
the hair into the form of an exaggerated
teapot, and supporting it in that shape
with a narrow plate of gold or jade over
the forehead, and a whole system of bod
kins behind it. On the wedding morn
ing, presents and congratulations are
sent to the bridegroom, and among the
rest a pair of geese; not sent, as we
might imagine, by some wicked wtg or
nraclaimable bachelor as a personal re
flection on the intellectual state of his
friend, but as an emblem of domestic
uaity and affection.
AGRICULTURE,
SHBBP KOR HARD TIMES —The past
season, characterized by climatic extremes
followed as it must necessarily be ny a
winter in which feeder's resources will be
heavily taxed to avoid a sacrifice of a por
tion of his live toc* f will serve to give
prominence to the claims of the sheep to a
foremost place in the farpi economy. Sub.
sisting through much of the past season on
a meager supply of grass aud water, it is
now ready to combat such viccissitudes as
may be iu store for it with less detriment
than will result to any of its farm-yard
companions that may be subjected to like
treatment. Such tests of endurance are
by no means desirable in the case ot the
sheep—are far lrom those conditions by
which it should be surrouuded where the
best results are hoped for, but the fact that
it will successfully withstand them Is just
so much to be credited to its favor, By
the rule that a ''penny saved is a penny
earned" does the sheep DH make money
for its owner, under circuinstances where
other auimals would baukrupt him? Thus
it is that the farmer who can enumerate
among his live 6tock a fair pioportion i f
sheep, will be enabled to partly recoup
himself against the loss to which he is lU
evitably subjected iu mauy localities.
If those less fortunately circumstanced
will take the lesson home to themselves,
and apply its teaching to their future poli
cy, much good lhat is now not apparent to
them uisy be In ought out ot their pre-eut
adversity.
THE Poultry Monthly says that, as a
rule, one variety of fowls is enough for al
most any person to manage successfully
and profitably, and this is especially true
with beginners, who have to iraln their t x
perlence in all the varied details of poultry
management. If a breeder has beeu suc
cessful with one variety, has not merely
made good sales, but has produced birds
of such a high order of merit that the
sto£k makes a good advertisement and a
permanent one for the breeder, it can be
taken for granted that it will pay to take
up one or more breeds, provided the same
care is bestowed upon each variely as was
formerly accorded the single breed, anil
provided there are ample conveniences,
rixim and quarters for them. it seldom
pays to attempt raising poor breed poultry
unless there is ample room, both in yards
and houses, for they must have this to in
sure their heaithlulness and consequent
profit.
PLANT ITICKKT TREKS.— Many people
would lite 10 tiave a hickory grove, but
have a vague idea that it ia a terrible thing
to get. But it is not so much of a task.
Plow your ways four feet apart,follow the
marker with a roller which will not efface
the mark. Do this the first wesk in Octo
ber, or may be earlier. 'lake a hoe,
and at eica crosdn* of your check
rows plant a nut about au inch and a half
stepping hard upon it. Next spring
run a harrow over the ground quite early,
say as soon as the frost is well out. When
your trees come up cultivate them the
same as corn, being careful not to bruise
in any way. After they get too nigh for
the cultivator attend to them with a hoe.
Mulch in the fail sufficiently to keep the
weeds out the next spring. If any should
come, keep them pulled. In ten years
you will have all the hickory nuts and tim
ber you want, It you have an acre in your
grove. A moist location is the bett—just
as wet as will do to plow—if you have it.
A MASH composed ot two-thirds wheat
bran and one-third corn meal for solids,
the morning when about blood heat,makes
a good breakfast for poultry, especially
for laying hens. Oats and buckwheat for
midday teed, and corn and oats for supper
are excellent for poultry. Clean, fresh
water is a very essential article. The above
feed is recommended tor poultry when the
ground is frozen and covered with snow,
but with the open weather we have had
thus far this season, but little extra feed
or care has been required. The large amount
of insect food which poultry Las been able
to pick up this season has so far rendered
the extra feeding of animal food unneces
sary.
HOOT FRCNINO FOB TOMATOES. —Root
pruning for tomato plants is recommended
to induce early maturity of the fruit. While
the plants arc young they are transplanted
several times, which ef course destroys
some of the roots, aud after they are put
into their final resting place, a spade is
once in a while thrust down into the ground
a foot or so from the main stock, in tnie.
of course, size, and perhaps quality, are
sacrificed to a few weeks earlmess; but
many are willing to pay this penalty for
the sake ef the early dish. Those who
wish to secure an early ripening of fruit
will do weil to practice this system of root
pruning upon a portion of their plants.
Tomato plants produce better aud more
evenly ripened iruit when afforded some
support, as by stakes or trellises, to keep
the vines from the ground.
A FATAL scourge has prevailed in Loui
siana for tome time kuewu as Spanish lep
rosy or farcy, which has killed a large
Dumber ot mules. It seeuis particularly
destructive to these valuable animals, and
some planters have lost nearly every ani
mal on them places. This visitation is
particularly unfortunate at this eeasou of
the year, when farmers need every work
animal they can use. Borne persous claim
that it can be cured, but the most ot the
farmers consider it beyond remedy, and it
does its work in a very short time.
THE value of all manufactured fertiliz
ers d pends upon their solubility, and
thise manures should all be appropriated
by the growing crops. To expect any
such fertilizing matter to remain in the
ground for another year is to presume
that the fertilizers are not properly man
ufactured. Bone dust, however, will re
main in the soil several years.
A Q' OD remedy for all the ordinary ail
ings of the peach tree is potash. An East

trees sjffering from the "yellows" gorged
with starch, and potash would prove a
remedy. He gave an instance where it
seen ed to prove a rempdy, although he
was not positive that the ailment was 'yel

STARTLING as the statement may seem
the destruction of crops by noxious insects

MENDING CHlNA. —Dissolve an ounce
of gum-mastic in a quantity of highly
rectitied spirits of wiue; thou soften au
ounce of isinglass in warm water, and
finally dissolve it iu rum or brandy till
it forms a thick jelly. Mix the isinglass
and gum-mastic together, adding a
quarter of au ounce of finely-powdered
gum-ammoniac; put the whole iuto au
earthen pipkin and into a warm plaoe,
till it is thoroughly incorporated togeth
er; pour it iuto a small vial, aud oork
it down for use. Iu using it dissolve a
small piece of the oement ill a silver tea
spoon over a lighted caudle. The broken
pieces of glass or china being warmed,
and touched with the now liquid oemoot,
join the part# neatly together, and hold
in their places till the cement has set;
then wipe away the cement adhering to
the edge of the joint, and leave it for
twelve hours without touching it; the
joint will be as strong as the china itself,
Mid if neatly dime, it will show uo join
ing. It is essential that neither of the
pieces be wetted either with hot or cold
water.
FURNITURE POLISH. —Put throe gilis
of cold drawu linseed oil iuto a quart
bottle with sixteen drachms of aquafor
tis, and fill up with vinegar. This mix
ture is invaluhle for furniture that lias
been French polished, but is getting the
worse for use, or, it may be, abuse; and
also wbeu wood having been only par
tially seasoned, the resiu rises up through
the polish, causing unslightly cracks
and spots. This the aquatortis in the
mixture eats dowu and restores the work
to somethiug of its original brightness.
To use it, first wash the furniture
thoroughly clean with a sponge and
lukewarm water, shako the bottle well,
and rub on the polish being CHreful to
use only very clean oloths. Old rags do
best, as thoy will not wash after being
used with tins mixture, and are only fit
to be thrown away. For furniture that
has never beeu French polished, nothing
is better than the old fashioned beeswax
and turpentine melted together by a
gentle heat, aud applied with plenty of
elbow-grease.
PORK AND BEANS. —No chemical an
al jais could lead to a better combination.
In the beana the flesh formers are in
large proportion to the heat producers,
and as an abundance of both are needed,
the fat jf pork is added as a heat pro
ducer. We have not the data from
which to make an accurate estimate, but
have no doubt that for those who take
active exercise in any occupation, the
wastes of the body may be more eco
nomically supplied by this generally
palatable food than by any other. Those
who have not eaten pork and beans in a
lumber eamp, can have no idea of this
food in its most perfect condition. The
beans are first boiled, then placed in an
iron pot which is covered. A bole is
made in the grouud, and a tire built
there; when this fire has burned to coals,
the pot is set in, and the whole, pot and
coals, covered with earth. This is doue
in the evening, and the pot is uncovered
and taken out at breakfast time the next
morning. No wonder that the lumber
men are the sturdy fellows that they
are!
CHICKEN DRESSED AS TERRAPINS.—
Boil a tine, large, tender chicken; when
doue, and while vet warm, cut it from
en salad; put it iuto a stew pan with one
gill of boiling water; then stir together,
until perfectly fmooth, one-fourth pound
butter, one teispoon flour, and the yolk
of one egg, which add to the chicken
half at a time, stirriug all well together,
then season with salt and pepper. After
letting it simmer about ten minutes,
add one-half gill Madeira wine, aud semi
to table hot.
To BRIGHTEN SMALL IRON ARTICLES.—
Glean the article* to be brightened iu a
hot solution of half to a gallon of com
mercial potash for a quarter of an hour;
then wash in a solution of one to twenty
sulphuric acid half an hour, and dip iu
a bath of nitrous acid; wash in cold wa
ter and dry in sawdust—warm sawdust
it> best.
IN caring for youi fowls provide them
with a vessel of lime water for occasion
al driuks. It is prepared by pouring
hot water over quick-lime, and after the
lime is settled and the water ooveriug it
has become clear, pour it off. It will
keep fit for use for a considerable time.
PraveßiZET) alum possesses the prop
erty of purifying water. A large spoon
ful stirred Into a hogshead of water will
so purify it that in a few hours the dirt
will all sink to the bottom, and it will
be fresh and clear as spring water. Four
gallons may be purified by a teaspoon
ful.
Do not let knives be dropped iuto hot
water. It is a good plan to have a larpe
tin pot to wash them in, just high
enough to wash the blades without wet
ting the handles. Keep your castors
covered with blotting paper and green
flannel. Keep your salt spoons out of
the salt and clean them ofton.
To BRIGHTEN GILT FRAMES.— Take
sufficient flour of sulphur to give a gold
en tinge to one and a half pints of water;
boil in this water four or five ouions,
strain, and when cold, wash with soft
brnsh any part that requires restoring;
when dry it will come out as good as
now.
IF all steel <<r tinwaro is well rubbed
with lard and then with common uu
slacked lime before being put away, it
will never rust. This is also the best
plan to remove rust.
SOFT corns can be cured by this salve:
Boil tobacco down to an extract, then
mix with it a quantify of white pitch
pine, and apply it to the corn, renewing
it once a week until the corn disappears.
To REMOVE GREASE FROM CARPET AND
RESTORE COLORS.—A handful of crushed
soap bark (Quillaya), to a pail of water.
Scrub the spots end sponge the carpet
a : l over.
To stain wood black, drop a little sul
phuric acid into a small quantity of
water; brush over the wood, and hold it
to the fire. It will be a good black and
take a fine polish.
FOR tender feet and neuralgia in the
limbs, bathe the limbs and teet in warm
hav-water—make it strong—and then
apply warm flannel.
KEROSENE will make teakettles as
bright as new. Saturate a woolen rag
and rub with it. It will also remove
stains from clean varnished furniture.
