Tho Vegetable Limb-
When I am asked by a grown-up
porson, if it is truo that thoi-o is a plant
in Tartary that bears living lambs, I
am not altogether surprised. I have
known ordinary intelligent persons to
firmly believe that horses' hairs, ifkept
in water for a certain time, would bo
corao snakes ; and I havo known per
sons who pass for sano and sonsiblo
to beliovo that water or precious met
als, can bo discovered by a person
holding hazel (somo think, peach treo
is bettor) twigs in his hands. Wht-ro
theso things, and tho imDortanco of do
ing oertain operations when "tho sign
is right," or in tho "right timo of the
moon," aro believed in, I do not wond
er that any story about plants, how
ever improbablo, should find boliovers.
Tho story of tho vegetable plant, a
fow centuries ago, was gravely told as
truo. It lias a slight fouudation in
fact. In tho country whero this vege
table is said to grow, ono of tho com
mon ferns has a very largo and hairy
root-stock ; this when dug up, and
turned npsido down, (looks, at a dis
tance, enough like a lamb to deceive
thoso who wish to be deceived. Not
moro strange is this story of tho vege
table lamb than that which was for a
long timo bolieved about tho origin of
ono of tho wild geese. Dk. TiiunnEn

"Now, look pleasant and cheerful,

fastened on that picture." Instead of
looking cheerful, however, tho gentle
man leaned forward and assumed a
look of infinite weariness. "Pardon
me," exclaimed tho photographer, "that
will scarcely do ; your expression is far
too sombro to mako an agreeable piu
lure. You must try to coax up a slight
smile." "If my present position and
expression cost anything extra," was
mo answer, "l am willing to pay it.

James W. JIarsliall, aged 74, tho
uicovcrer ot gout In ualltornla, who
died recently at Ills liomo iu Kolsev.
Oallfortila, was a young man of
twenty-otic when ho was smitten with
the "Western fover" and bought a
larin in Kansas. Tho climate did tiot
agreu with him and soon afterho pack
ed up and joined n train of one hun
dred wagoim, bound for that, at that
time, almost unknown land. California.
Marshall and a fow of his companions
entered mo service ot uencrai Mutter
and engaged as a volunteer in tho
somewhat rclnarkablo campaign waged
by General Fremont against the Mex
icans, who souclit to prevent tbo en-
tranco of a body of Americans into
Mexico, and which was known as tho
U"ar Flag war. After tho treaty of
March 1817, recognizing the independ
ence of California, Marshall returned
to find that all his (possessions, consist
ing tor tbo most part ot cattle, hail
been stolen duiing his absence. Ho
tlicn started in tho lumber business
with Geueral Sutter at Coloma, Ama
dor county, and at this time ho had
made his famous discovery.
It was on tho 18th of January, 1818,
that Marshall was superintending tho
building of tho mill-race. After shut
ting off tho water at tho head of the
race ho walked down the ditch to seo
what sand and gravel had been remov
ed during tho previous night. Ho
strolled to tho lower end of tho raco
and stood looking down at the mass of
debris. At this juncture his eye caught
tho gutter ot something that lay lodg
ed in a crevico on a rifllo of soft gran
ite. He stooped and picked up tho
substance. It was heavy, of a pecu
liar color ana ilillerent Irom anything
ha had seen in stream beforo. He re
flected as to what kind of mineral tho
speoimcn could bo nnd concluded
that it was either mica, sulphurots of
copper or gold. It was too heavy
for mica ; was not brittle, as aro sul
phurots, and, remcmbenng that gold
is malleable, ho placed tbo nugget on a
flat stono and began striking it with
another. Tho substanoo did not craok
or Itako off, but simply flattened under
tho blows aud Marshall was satisfied
that ho had indeed mado an important
discovery. He collected a few ounces
of! tho precious metal and at onco went
toiSutter's Fort to inform General Sut
ter of his "find.' General Sutter has
given an interesting account, .of this
interview and tho exciting events that
followed. After the discovery had be
come known, in t-iiito of the efforts of
Sutter and Marshall to keep it a scoret,
tho country was invaded oy peopio ot
all ciasscss who cared nothing for law,
property or anything General Sutter
has told of how his own land was seiz
ed by squatters and bis property con-
nscatod and Marshall, it seems, tared
oven worse. Tho land about tho mill
which ho was building when ho mado
his great discovery, was, of course, tho
first to be seized by tho squatters, who
marked it off into claims and town
lots, which they distributed among
themselves, as they did his work oxen
and horses nnd everything elio that ho
had called his own. So he was forced
to, becomo a prospector for tho pre-i
ous metal, but had poor success in find
ing;it. Tho squatters added insult to in
jury by presuming that ho knew tho
whereabouts ot nob doposits ot gold
and refused to give information to
them and persecuted him on these false
suppositions. To add to his troubles his
tittle to the land ho had purchased prior
tojhis great discovery was questioned,
and lie lost it all. His latter years
were passed iu great povorty, relieved
but littlo by a small grant from tho
state of California.
Girls m the Garden
Dr. Ilexamur writes as follows for
tho benefit of tho gills:
If there is anything more conducive
to tho health of girls and young wom
en than somo regular, systematic, light
garden work, wo should likn to know
what it is ; surely it is not to be found
in tho drug store. Thousands of frail,
listless, pale faced girls to whom the
world seems a burden, could transform
themselves to healthy, happy, joyful
beings by this simple rcmody. Wo of-
tor it witbout charge, it you will only
try it. Commence somo pleasant, cool
morning, after breakfast, not before,
until you aro considerably stronger
by making a email flower-bod, sowing
a few seeds, plauting some bedding
plants, or tying up a climbing rose or
honeysuckle. Mako it your regular
business cvtry day to spend an hour in
yonr garden, ivatching mid caring for
your plants, it docs not matter how
small tho beginning is. Iu fact, tho
less you undertake at first, providod
you do it well, tho better will bo your
success. Tho main point to secure is
iu crentu an interest in your worK, anu
this cannot bo accomplished if you
over-work yourself and becomo dis
couraged at the start. To bo promo
tive of good tho work must bo a pleas
ure, not a Hardship.
Keeping Wines.
Wino may bo kept for various peri-
ods, but good ordinary wino is never
better than at a or t years old, though
it maykeep found for twenty years.
It is now very diflicult to get pure
wine. Water is often added at tho
timo of pressing equal to the quantity
of wino and fermented with it ; thus
tho two becomo blended, find pure al

owing to an uiiiiHtial amount uf rain
haying fallen when the grape ucie
swelling. The amount, nf wine was
moro than one-third iibnvu the iivrriigo,
and though clean and pure it xit nui!
woak. Wo thought it could not stand
a hot summer, and consulted u local
authority, who recommended a bottle
or brandy, or may ho two, to bo added
to each cask of about fotty gallons.
Tho advice was followed, and the wino
was spoiled that is to say, the puro
tasto of wino was gone, although it ro
mainod porfectly sound. It was no
ploasuro to drink it, and we consigned
it to tho domestics. A small cask that
had not been doctored or fortified kept
perfectly well, ami lurnul out an e'x
cellent wine. Tho best wiuu comes
from high ground, but quantity gives
way to quality. Stony ground often
old quarries produces a high quality
of wine bright, light and wholesome.
In thb plains below you have quantity,
but ooar8u and hoayy wino. Tho tasto
of earth is ofton discornihlo and strong
manuring only increases this defect.

Curtailing the Oost of Production.
It is not nt all likely that farm prod
ucts, except in rnro and abnormal con
ditions, will over bring high prices
again to first hands, that is, to tho
fanucM. With eight or ten millions
of farnprs at work in such a country
as this, and with increasing foreign
competition in all tho leading articles,
it is not to bo expected that tho mark
ets of tho world will get so baro of any
staple, or that tho dcumid for it will
become so phenomenal, as to send up
tho prices to extravagant figures.
Farmers should not look for hich prices
aud should never base their calcula
tions on tho prices of this year or of
last, but on tlio avcrago ot a long po
riotl of years. It is tint to a high
market that the farmer is to look for
his profits.
Whence, then, is tho farmer's living
and reward to come f It is to come by
curtailiun tho costs of production.
Tho farmer must grow his tobacco or
cotton nt n little less per pound, his
corn and wheat at a little le?s per bush
el, liia peauhes and his strawberries at
a little less per crate, and his clover
and hay at a little less per ton, than
they have cost him heretofore, if ho
would realize larger profits and mako
moro money by his calling. To arrive
at tho minimum cost of production per
pound or busliel should bo tho aim ot
every fanner.
How is this important end to bo
reached t First, let the farmer tako up
each thing employed in production,
item by item, such as land, labor,
teams, implement", fertilizers and tho
liko and consider how he may reduce
the cost thereon. It is often the case
that somo of theso things cost moro
than they ought to cost, and a great
deal may bo done, soitetimes, by find
ing out just where tho waste is and
stopping it Farmers do not figuro
enough upon the cost of production.
Hut, chief thing of all for the farmer
to do, let him Bet about increasing tho
yield per acre, and thus by making
moro to tho area, reduce the cost per
weight or measure. Looking carefully
to each item of expenso in the grow
ing of a crop, let him look still more
carefully to tho producing capacity of
his soil, and strivo by thorough manur
ing and culture to biing it to a high
power to produce full and perfect
crops. The profits of farming arc to
bo made, it seems to us, by pursuing
something lik tho abovo plan. Mary
land J'hrmcr.
Concerning Locusts.
In tho newspaper accounts ot the in
vasions of locusts, in different parts of
the country, the insect is spoken of as
"the Locust." Tho writers are evidently
not aware, that there are two very dis
tinct insects, to which the namo locust,
is popularly applied. Ono of these, on
account of its appearing at regular in
tervals, is often called "The Seventeen
year Locust." It occurs in nearly all,
if not all, of the states east of the
Mississippi. Tho other, the "Hocky
Mountain Locust," has its chief range
in the country between tho Rocky
Mountains, and tho Mississippi Hirer.
Tho soveiiteen-year Locust, is a Cicada,
and own brother to tho well known
"Harvest lly," tho rattling noto of
which is so common in mid-summer.
Tho larval state of this locust is passed
under ground, whero it lives upon
roots, and grows very slowly for seven
teen (in sotiis broods, thirteen) yens.
At its appointed time, the iiiiect comes
to the surface, ca6ts off its pupa skin,
and devotes itself to continuing its
kind. After mating, tho female depos
its her eggs, and in doing this; the
chief damage inflicted by this insect is
accomplished. Tho female makes
grooves in tho young twigs of tret s,
in which sho deposits her eggs in naif.
When tho eggs arc deposited in fonst
trees, tho injury is not much not c
ed, but in a yrung orchard, or in a
iiuisery, the damago is often very se
vere. The eggs hatch iu about siv
weeks after being deposited ; tho now
ly hatched larva dro a to the groin.d
below the surfaoo of which it soon
biniowH, not tn t-eo the light again tin
til fuveiiti'fii )oar have paisiil, whin
it punctually re-appuars, to r po.tt thu
samu riiiinil Thu only rimudy lint!
lias lit vii stiggihted, whtn il attr.cks
nurteii i, is to whip tho locust fiom
the trees, early in the morning v hila
they are dormant, and allow pigs nml
poultry to devour tin in. Tho Hocky
Mountain Locust, is foully a grasshop
per. Its eggs, laid in a hole in tho
ground, in lato summer, or early au
tumn, hatch the next spring, and tho
young insects aro ready for business.
In their early life they havo no wings,
and do not acquire them until six or
eight weeks alter hatching. It casts
its skin live times, and at its last molt,
comes forth a winged insect Ilefore
it can lly, it has to walk and hop. Tho
young insects movo off iu searnh of
food, as soon as the vegetation of thu
spot where thoy wero hatched, is ex
hausled. Thoy movo iu a body, often
a mile wide, destroying every green
thing iu their path. At length tho lo
