Pure plaster of Paris will never crack ; bnt as ft sets too quick for the convenience of the operator a little lime is mixed with it. If you try to plaster with pare lime stone, it will track all over in drying, and come off in patches ; and this will show yon the ne cessity of always using as little lime as possible, either in the sand use<l for bricklaying, or in the plaster used for coating the walls. WATERING PLANTS. —Let it he remem bered that nearly all plants thrive Uwt in mot*, not in wet soil. We think that most house plants ere tret too much. Never pour water in the sincere, bnt into the pots, and then never until the surface is dry. The saucers may be used for neatness, but not for holding water. Rain water is the best hard ; well water tlio worst. The morning the best rime to apply the water. Ahravs use a fine sprinkler. WASHING FLUTD— Fi*r pounds of ml soda; one ponml of borax T oue-half poand of nuskeked hme, mnst be fresh ; four ounces of liquid ammonia. Pour one gallon of boiling water upon the soda and borax, when it is dissolved and has cooled, mid the ammonia and salts of tarter. Slack the lime in one gallen •f hot water, and let it stand till entire.lv settled ; when the clear fluid must be carefully poured of. Tarn it npon the solution of soda and borax, aDd add to the mixture eight gallon* of cold water. Bnt the clothes to soak the night before washing day, with six tablespoonsfn! of this fluid to a tab full of clothes. PREPARING Fowls FOB EXHIBITION. — An allowance of hemp-seed and back wheat for a fortnight, is recommended by fanciers, to produce a gloss npon the plumage of birds designed for the show room. But a Hue luster of the feather* depends more npon the general health than npon anything else. Liberty and a range where there are bnt a few "fowl*, and a diet embracing cooked vegetables and meat and a variety of odds and ends from the table, in addition to the insects and herbage they gather for themselves, are indispensable from the lime of hatch ing until the show, if it is desired to have the plumage exhibit a nice bloom. —ReanrtX and Hume. PREPARATION or CARMINE PTRPLE The dye recently invented, and known as carmine- purple, is obtained by the solu tion *f uric arid in nitric arid" care being taken to prevent boiling over and too great an increase of temperature. The mixture should remain stsnuiug quietly ; for some day*, after which a thick, pasty or doughy substance is obtained, which is to be treated with warm water, tillered, and the residum again treated with warn; ! water. The filtered liquid possesses a reddish or yellowish color, deoomposed f by the nitrio acid. Tliis liquid in now a ' mixture of alloxan, alloxan tin, area, paraban acid, dialnramrd. and ether pro- j ducts of uric arid. It is next to be evaporated in a large enameled iron ves sel, bnt not heated to the boiling point,. which would destroy the mnruxide pro-1 duced- After the liquid has been evapo rated to a airupj consistency, and has assumed a beautiful brownish-rod or violet color, it is to be allowed to cool. The entire quantity of the liqnid should i never be evaporated at on* tiuia, nor< heated to the boiling point 3 LEAST Soils.—Are any soils leaky, in the sense in which the word is generally understood ? We do not believe it. The writer owns and works a farm that wxi said ta.be leaky, had no bottom, i would not hold any manure, and all that Not thus uaderetunding the nature of an arable soil, though it might happen to be underlaid with gravel, we had no fear of our leaky (arm not responding to a • proper feeding with manure and growing | fat on it. We have suffered no disap pointmmt in our case, and do not doubt that others similarly situated will equal! v escape disappointment. A leaky farm is one that has the advantage of bring naturally drained ; for it will not hold water, bnt everything held in suspension and almost everything held in solution by that water mil be given np to the, soil as it passes through il Pure sand will filter and render clear the fonltwt water, and agricultural clay prill absorb bad odors and decompose chemical solu tions. Then a mixture of clay end sand must absorb Hie solnble parte ofiurantire, and prevent the finely dirtM phrtides from past ting through it to the stffmoil.

The French pa peri hare a story about the beginning of M. linen's career which is a pendant to that of the first intro duction of the great bunker, Lnffittc, to the tide that led on to ftrtunc. Youug Ijitfitte being rebuffed by a hanker to whozu he applied for employment, ami turning sadly awav, spied a pin on the floor, and stooped to pick it up ; on which the haukcr called him tack, made hint a clerk, and finally a partner, and so made his fortune. The Thiers story is that aoou after he eanie to l*aris to seek his fortune M. Coete, the editor of the Temps, and M. llellet, one of his chief collaborators, noticed a light al ways bunting in the attic of a house they had to pass about '2 an, as they left the office to go home. This excited their euriositv so strongly that one night they knocked at the door and asked the porter who it was that lived an ris quirme. He said it was an industrious young man, working hard to fit hitniwvf for a journalist. Upon this they mount ed to the garret, and |>rseuting them selves to the youth, like Providence in human sha]>e ; and. a brief conversation satisfying them of his eomjHdency, the editor gave him immediately a place on the staff of the paper, which was the first round of "young ambition'a ladder," which has conducted him to the highest places of fame and power. We tell this story, as the French jsipars say in audi cases, arte tout's Us reserrer. by no means guaranteeing its authenticity. There is no inherent improbability about it; and, at any rate, it is a good story. Ugliness of Mormon Women. A late writer says : Nothing impressed us more in Salt Lake city than the home line** of the women. It may be tmgal lant to mention it; bnt, a* every one that goes there thinks it, here goes Hie statement of the fact. Now, liomeliueas of feature is not a disadvantage. There is a handsome ugliness and a piuns homeliness; but with these Mormon women it is a vicious, outrageous un comehne**, indicative of moral disfigure ment. The Tabernacle was alive with them. They made us shudder. It is " assault and lwttery" to have them look at yon. What Brigham or any other man wonld want of seventeen such crea ture* I cannot imagine. One of them, I should think, wonld be a great horror. Snch dislocation* of nose*, and misplare menta of month , and ruin* of eyebrows, are not gathered together in any other place on this continent. There must lie a good uiany witches among them. We would not have been inneh surprised to see thein riding home on n broomstick.

RULER FOR THE JOCRNET or LIFE. —The following rules, from the |>apera of Dr. West, were, according to his memoran dum, thrown together a* general way mnrk* iu the journey of life : Never to ridicnle micred things, or what others may esteem as sncb, however nbsurb they tnny ap|iear to lie. Never to show levity when the people are professedly engaged in worship. Never to resent a'supptmed injury till I know the views and motives of the author of it ; nor seek occasion to retaliate. Never to judge a jierson'a character by external appearance. Al ways to take the part of an absent person who is censured in compnny, so far as truth and propriety will allow.

"Is he your brother ?" " No, it is myself." "Do you mean to say that you are sending a Post Office order to youraelt at Estcrvayer?" "Yew, I am going there." "But why can't yon take it yourself" "Ah, there it is, " said the simple fellow; " Yon see I know myself, and if I were to take the money with me the probability is that it wonld never reach Estervnyer, while by sending it through the Post Office I shall be sure to find it on my arrival, where I shall need it." HARD AT WOBK. —The work of clearing away the rains,-and rebuilding Chicago, proves an imjiortant means of relief to mechanics and laborers who find plenty of employment at good wages. The av erage wages for laborers in the rains are 81.75 per day, for teams, 84.50 ; for carpenters, 03 to 83.50, and bricklayers S3 to 53.25. Members of the Chicago Bricklayer's Union demanded increased wages, and many of the members struck, the contractors refusing to yield to strikers, as there are a large number of bricklayers from other places, willing and anxious to uork at present wages. The price of bricks has risen from $6.50 to sl2 and sls, but the supply seems abundant, and prices will recede. The Kciiuite ('an** of thr Western Fire#.

HAHIXTOW Fran, Secretary of State. THREE Co-operative club stores have j lieen successfully started in Danvers, ' Mass. The articles sold are groceries and provisions. Each family, upon join ing the club, is required to pay in 810. Pork sold elsewhere at 14 cents a pound retail, the families obtain at ten cents ; and tea, costing elsewhere SI 25 per lb., is sold for 00 cents. The stores in the town have put down their prices to as near wholesale as possible, in order to break np the club stores, but unsuccess fully. Colorado is first in the field with a narrow gauge railway. A road of three foot gauge, seventy-six miles in length, has just beeu completed, and is now open for travel and freight. The Mormon Trials. Affairs in Utah have taken a new luru, I and one that will no doubt lie the means ' of revolutionising the institution* of that territory.

CIIOBE HAI LED. —Hineo the death of Father Taylor, of Boston, many anec dotes arc told of him, among which is the following from Richmond, where he was tx>rn. He spoke the sailor vernacu lar to his audience, who fully appreciated and loved the good old man. On one occasion, while mukiug the droit fly from the pulpit cushions, he noticed an old salt, whose weather braten face w.is a good fae-timilr of an old-fashioned door plate, seated near the altar, and who gave expression to his conviction of sin y loud, prolonged groans, and at every renewed blast from the pulpit the groans liecame louder, wliercnt the good father fixed him with his eye, and addressed him in these words: "Luff, brother, luff; luff while she breezes, and you'll weather hell yet, with the lee leeches of your top-sails smoking which neatly expressed the nearest touch and go pos sible, and gave good solid comfort to Jack.

In view of the urgency of immediate j and rotdhus aid from the people outside | of the Mt.de, the following ap|ieal to the United State* lnta been issued by the , Michigan Htati* Relief Committee : To the !'rot tie IJF thr Unitrtt Stole* .* We | need instant anil plentiful aid. From j 12,0110 to 15,000 |M-ople, at li-aat, iu the State of Michigan, have lost their liotucn, fiwid, clothing, croiia, horaes aud cattle. | On the night of the Chicugo fire 2,000 |ieople mi the i*i*t shore of laike Michi gan, and 5,t100 to (1,000 on the west show | i of 1-uke Huron were reduced to almost ; , utisolute deatitutioii.

The numlier of indi vidiitd farm house*, barns aud fmntier i dwellings which huve liaen destroyed by i the all-prevailing fire* cannot from want j : of iuforinntiou, lie aci-urately calculated. The Hgg legate we know to be euormoiia. j The tire* are stilt buriiiug, and uew one* spring up. The area of ruin aud devasta- , Hon i daily inereaaing, aiul much suffer ing exists. A long, hard and cold Winter is approaching, and large uuiu- INT* of tlieae ix-ople are accessible only by water, ami navigation will aoou lie closed. Scarcely a mouth, or six weeks at most, remain* in which to feed, clothe and shelter them for the Winter M-OMOII, wiiiuh extends far into the Spring. They must lie hcliM-d now, or they will ■ |i-rikli. They will need, too, in oarlv Spring, seed and iuipleuieut* for harvext* 1 next year. A greater portion of them niKst eomnieiice life entirely anew and without i>r>] strut ion at the liegiuuing of W iliter. Their isolution from the eentres of (ymtmerce uud the means of coniuuni cation makes tlie problem of relief more diflkutlt and urgent The people of Michigan have nobly responded to ap jieals which tliia misery lias wade to their ! sympathy aud generosity, but they are sorely crippled, iudim-tly in their busi ness by the Cliieago fire, and diri-ctlv by the nKMstanee given to the sufferers from that isdaniity lw-f, .n- tliey were aware of the demand* which would tie made II|M>U them at home. Many of them, too, have lost their rasoiircea by fires whictr oc curred iu thi* Htate. In their name, and on behalf of the victim* already known and mauv whom we fear are yet unkiiowii, we ask prompt aud efficient aid from our lieuevoleut fellow-citizen* everywhere. Money and stipulica may be sent direct to Michigan Relief Com mittee at Detroit or Grand Rapid*. Wyoming's Hrwit Wi-Matlrr Joke. The accident, for aueh it was, by which woman suffrage oceanic the law of Wyom iug liapueiied in thi* way : The l'resnleut of tlie Council of the first Territorial Iv-gialutun- ol Wyoming strolled into the office of tlie Secretary of the Territory one moniiug in Novemlier, to talk almut lK*al ]Militiea. Woman suffrage came in for its share of attention. Haid the Secretary, who was a staunch advo cate of woinuu's right: "Mr. President, do you know yon have the greatest op|iortauity of any man in America to immortalize yourself ?" "How?" inquired the piesident. "Ry iutrtaluciug a bill to the council extending the right of suffrage to wo man," replied the secret ITT. "By Jove! I'll do it if you'll draw up the lull," r>*|Miuded the president. "Agrei-d," answered the secretary; and Mr. I'resident smiled the quiet unle of satisfaction incident to the birth of a new idea, pulled away at hia cigar, straightened himself and walked to the Council chain tier to {Kinder ou his future gn-atueoa. The bill was drawn, intro duced and passed the find reading of the Council—more for the novelty and no toriety than la-cause its member* were in it* favor. In the lower house, however, the bill met opposition, and became the subject of earnest dissension on the |wrt of a minority. The majority looked ii|ion tlie whole tiling as a joke of tin- rollicking secretary, and were disposed to let him have his fun, while' thev would enjoy the lug snp]M*r promised tin-m by the secretary if they would pass the bill. Thus the bill |iamed the House, not sup posing the Council would confirm it on it# flu at reading. The Council, however, did pass the bill, wlietiier from indiffer otiee or tit ajqiear c#msisti*nt with its former action it is impossible to say, a* it is eotntily ini|Kia*ilile to account for mostof the law* puavl by this Legisla ture ou any knoan h.v {mthesis. But whctiier joke or design ou the iiart of the secretary, tlie memliers of the Houae were certainly victimized, for they never got that big snpiHtr, and the bill did pa*#. It only waited now for tin* Governor's signature under tlie great seal of the Territory to make this lull a law in the laud. In a few days thejiill VM return ed with hi* Excellency'# familiar O. K.. and woman suffrage b*came Imth a fact and a law iu Wyoming. A Ntrsnfe Case. A sad incident occurred nt Steuben ville County Infirmary a few days ago. r*#ultiug in a horrible death, the bury ing of a small lad named Murphy, oged live years—a reel-footed child, who was deserted by the mother to cloak her 1 -duunc. It ap|ieara that two other paii{M*r | children, name I'hilip Sheridan and Andy Stewart, dug a large hole in the nrchanl iuljoiuing the inflrtnary. After efleeting this part of the dinlxilicnl act, the two little fiends, whose ages, were renjiective lv five and ten years, repaind to the in firmary grounds and caught tbe reel footed IKIV, and carried him to his liviug grave. Shrieking, yet aritiiout power of lieing heard, the little victim was caught by the young executioners, and forced into the hole. Holding him down they shovelved in the earth and stone upon bis writhing body, stifling hi* cries a* liest they could, until the poor deformed body ceased to struggle, and tlie spirit took it* flight to Him who gave it. The two young murderer* went Iwok to (lie house without informing any one of the deed, and the buried boy's absence was first noticed by Mr. Porter, the Superin tendent, slioiit oue o'clock. Uj>on mak ing inquiries, a little black bov informed him that Andy Stuart and Phil. Sheri don bad "buried ' Limpv' down in the holler." On going to the spot, Mr. Porter found the newly made grave, and Iwlow the surface the lifeless form of little " Limpy." The little murderers have l>een sent to the reformatory. This is one of the saddest incident* we have ever had to record. OTR IIOIWR AND HOME. —Says Mrs. Stowe : There are certain characteristic words which the human heart loves to conjnre with, and one of the strongest among them is the phrase, "Our House." It ia uot my house, nor vonr house, nor their house, but Our ifoute. It is the inseparable trr who own it, and it is the irr and the our that go a long way toward impregnating it with the ehurm that makes it the symbol of things most blessed and eternal. Houses have their phsiognomy, as much as persons. There ore common place houses, suggestive houses, attrac tive houses, nud scientific houses, and fascinating house#, jnst as there are all classes of {tenons. There are houses whose winnows seem to yawn idly—to stare vacantly—then* are houses w hose windows glower weirdly, nnd look at you askance ; there arc houses again, whose very doors nnd windows seem wide open with frank cordiality, which seem to stretch their arms to embrace vou, and woo yon kindly to come nmf {Kisticsa them. FHfairrrrL DISASTER.—Another fright ml colliery disaster is reported. An ex plosion took place in the Sealmn Mine, near Newcastle, England. Thirty-three men were in the pit at the time, none of whom where saved. The families of the victims with numbers of people gath ered around the mouth of the pit, and former scenes of excitement and distreis were renewed. From IN CASKS AND IN B AOB. —Dr. Poleck has beeu making researches into the methods of packing flour. He finds that flour preserved in casks is often in jured by the insufficient circulation of air through its mass. In consequence, its gluten is changed, assuming a sour re-action, and the flour will not make good dough. This change is indicated by a peculiar mouldy smell. Flour pre served in bags is not so liable to this change. Thr Death of Nero. Own night Nrro, dresaed la woman's clothes, waa in onr of thr palaces of llotur, surrounded by his boon com piiinoua, male and female, indulging in the moat loathsome orgies, when a great uproar waa heard in the streets. A m*s- Hetigcr waa scut to aacertain the cause. He rturn>d with the appalling tidings that Gallia, at the head of an avenging army, was marching rapidly into Home ; that insurrection liiul broken out In the streets, and that a countless mob, breathing threatening* and slaughter, were surging toward the palace. Tbe wretched tyrant, a* cowardly as i he was infamous, was struck with dis may.

He called for a dagger, • xnmined it* polished point, but had not i nerve to proas tliat to hi* heart. He then rushed from the isdaoe in his wo man's grab, ami with nis long hair flut tering in the wind. Thus disguised, he almost flew through the dark aud narrow streets, intruding to plunge into the Tiber. When he reached tlie bank and 1 gazed u |>ou its gloomy waves again hi* 1 courage failed. Several of his coin|mnion# had areoin j pained him. One of Uiem suggested that he should flee to a country seat, about three miles from Home, and there conceal himself. Insane with terror, turn-headed, in hia shameful grab, he covered hi* face with a handkerchief, leaped upon s horse, snd succeeded, through a thousand peril*, in gaining his retreat Jn*t before b reached the villa, mue alarm so frightened him that lie leajted from his horse snd plunged into s thicket by the roadside. Through briers and thorn*, with torn clothes and lacerated flesh, he reached the insecure •avium he nought. In the mean Li me, the Roman senate hail hurriedly assembled. Emboldened by tin* insurrection, and by the approach of Gnlba, they passed a decree declaring Nero to be the enemy of hia country, snd doomed him to death, more ma jorum—ihmt is, according to ancient custom. Some one of Nero's compan ions brought him the tidings in hi*hid ing place. Pallid and trembltug, be in quired, "And what is death mora ma jor um ?" The appalling reply was: " It ia to be stripped naked, to have the j head fastened iu the pillory, and be scourged to death !" Tbe monger who had amused himself jin wiUieasing the torture of others re coiled with horror from the dreadful affliction. Seizing a dagger he again endeavored to nerve himself to plunge it into his heart. A pick from the sharp point was all he could summon resolu tion to inflict. He threw thi' dagger aside and groaned in terror. He then strove to t ilk himself into courage. " Ought Nero," aaid be, " to be afraid? Shall the emperor be a coward ? No ! Let me die courageously f Again he graiqieil the ilagger, anxious- Iv examined its keen edge, and again threw it aside with a groan of despair. Just then the clatter of huraeinen was heard, and a party of dragoon# was seen •ppn inching. Hisre I rent waa discovered, and in a few moments Nero would lie helpless in the hand* of hi* enemies. Then there would be no powulile escape from the ignominious and agonizing death.

It is aaid that this event took place ou the ISffli of June, A. D. (58.

Only oue oopr is known to lie in existence, and this is deposited in tbe state paper office in London. Number oue of this paper, and proba bly tbe only numlier ever published, is dated September 25,1690. Immediately on it* publication the legislative author ities sjKike of it a* a {ismphlet, stated that it wa* contrary to law, and con tained "reflection# of a very high nature." They strictly forbade " any thing in print without license first obtained from those spiKiintivi by the government to grant the same." This paper was priuted by Richard Pierce for Benjamin Harris. Mr. Pierce is said to have been the first {tenon who carried on the printing busi ness in Boston. Benjamin Harris, who was tii proprie tor of this (Wlier, had a printing bouse in Boston, snd in ICW snd 1694 printed the set* and Law* of Massachusetts, and was " printer to hia Excellency the Gov ernor, and Council."

A XKW TBBORT. —Some of the Eu ivqiean s*t ronomere sre discussing a new und interesting theory, namely, that auroral appearance aud the zodiacal light* are in some way connected with the phenomena of torost rial magnetism. Dr. Balfour Stewart declares that in the anti-trade winds li finds the moving conductors required to produce the effect, and suggests tliat as tliey pass rapidly | fiver the hues of the earth's magnetic fore* tliey mav be regarded as the ve hicles of an electric current, posaiblv to lie lit up as atennated gaases are wlicn they conduct ehvtricity. In thi* way, he i hinks, the phenomenon of the zo diacal light might be produced. Then, again, these moving enrnuits w ill react on the magnetism of the earth, which msv account for tlie somewhat sudden and violent changes that take place in the earth's magnetism at those seasons when the great currents change most rap idly. as for example, the equinoxes. Dr. S.

SiNon.Aß.—The tied of the Neusiedler sea, in Germany, which since 1865 had been quite dry, commenced suddenly iu September, 1870, to be filled with water. It had been laid out into fields, which were well cultivated, and the Archduke Albrecht, upon whose estate it is situated had erected numerous farm buildings for bis tenants of massive granite. The fill ing up has steadily progressed until at the present writing, the lake is almost of its former depth : ond only here nnd there a roof or a chimney appears above the water, which will soon close over every vestige of what was once a thriving and highly cultivated agrieultural lo cality. ___ MYSTERY. ~Tbe greatest mystery in the world to us is that housewives will use any other lightening, save J.
