Pigs intended to Wf a tted thia ball sliould now be fed liberally, but should be al lowed to run in the pasture. MHCT.P. Lambs should now be weaned. Put the ewes in a poor pasture, and let the lambs have the run of some second growth clover or other rich grass. If the weather is wet and the grass succulent, give some dry food, such as clover hay, or better sti'.l, bran. Re move the rams from the flock. Drrats IN THE GARDEN. —No more valuable help can be proo.,rcd in tlie garden, to disturb and destroy insects, than a brood of you ngd ticks. They de vour immense quantities of bugs, slugs, and other injurious posts, and in their continual raging disturb what thov do not destroy. Thev injure none of the vegetables,* unless it may be young cab bage plants. VEAL Cnxmra. —Take some veal, s piece of fillet or tho next dice of the legs, and out into pieces a little larger than a crown piece, and less than a quarter of an inch thick. Ivat them out rather thiu aud trim nicely. Egg. and bread crumb them ana Bancs them in batter. Fry some slices of bam or bacon, ami pUoe thorn on your dish alternately with the veal cutlets, and pour tomato saaee around, or any other sauce which may bo approved of. To EXPEL FLIES.—L>r. Hewsou, of Philadelphia, *avs hanging branches of mayweed or wiid chamomile in flower, abont a room, will expel flies, or even strewing the dried flowers atemt will ans wer. Also, partially burn blaek pepper by putting it oa a hot shovel. Throwing a netting over the bed will keep them out, no matter how large the meshe*. so there is not a window or door behind the bed, so that the light will shine directly on it HORSKS. —A correspondent makes the sensible remark that. Winter or Summer, excepting stormy times, there is no plaer side may In in a line with each o'her. After tlie stoue* are laid and well rammed down, place a few boards on the pavement to walk oa. then make a grouting of clean aaud and water lime, or Rosen dale cement, and pour it on the stoue* uutii all the inter stice* are filled. As soou as the grout ing has act, spread a layer of good cement matter. 1 iuoh thick over the top of the pavement, and trowel the surface off smoothly, Iu order to spread the mortar true ami even on the surface, lay au inch board one foot from the wall l on the surface of the pavement, stand ou the board and fill the space with mortar eveu with the top of the Karvl ; after which, move the board one foot, fill the space with mortar, and trowel it ofl smoothly. Such a floor will cost less than a Kami floor, and will endure as long aa the superstructure is kept in re pair. A floor made iu the foregoing manner on the grouud in the basement of a barn, a piggery, or a stable, would lie rat-proof, and would be found cheaper and more serviceable than a plank floor. The work should K done m the former part of the growing season, so that the cenieut tnav have sufficient time to become dry and hard before cold weather. Settling the QneeUen. One of the Granges of the Patrous of Husbandry, in lowa, is undertaking the work of reform by adopting the follow ing preamble and resolution: II Wens, One of UIE most serious causes of complaint the farmer has is the misrepresentations presented to him in advertisements; therefore, JiMofco/, That we as a Grange will give our support and influence to such news paper* and periodicals as will admit no advertisements to their columns, unless satisfied of the good character of the advertiser, and bis ability to perform all he may promise. We tecognize the right of any man or claas of men to adopt and act upon such a resolution as that given above, savs •Voorr's Rural jfor I wrier. But the paper which attempts the task of meet ing the ideas of such men will have a good time of it. Suppose, for example. Mr. J. A. Freeman, the Secretary of the Grange adopting the foregoing resolu tion, should send us an adiortisement of Chester White pig*, or Brahma fowls. We do not know Mr. J. A. Freeman— never heard of him before; don't know whether he has got a pig, or a fowl, nor whether he knows a Chester White from a Berkshire, or a Brahma from a Bantam. If we were to attempt to please the patrons he represents, we should be com peded to write to some one of them for information; and even then, not know ing any of them, we would not know whether their information was correct or not. Our only alternative would In to send an agent, in whom we could trust, to lowa to see if Mr. J. A. Free man really owned a pig or a fowl, and was able to supply the demand that might be made upon him in case we in serted his advertisement. Then we should have to investigate his character also. Meantime poor Freeman is wait ing for us to insert his advertisement, and those who desire to purchase pigs or fowls may have purchased elsewhere. This is a fair sample of what these Patrons of Hnsbandrv (and of news papers?) require publishers to do in order that they, in their stnpiditv, may be protected. In other words, they do not desire to make the effort or exercise the judgment or discretion common among good business men, but require newspaper publishers to shoulder the burden ol protecting them. Then sup pose that the agent we send out to see the pig* reports favorably, we insert Mr. Freeman's advertisement, Jim Jones sends for a pig. is disappointed in it, and writes us blowing ns np bay I'aal; inn then Peter, here menniug the public, can better aflurit to lose the amount than Paul, and beaidee no one will know the roblier of the mail-hag—this was the illusion—while every une would heur of the tliiet of one hundred pound* when produced in court. Hawing reasoned quite speciously that he would by pur suing such a course, keep his own Kwly •ut of jail and save his faintly from the resulting disgrace. This " gentleman " robber appears to be s man in many respect* of fine organ isation. No Hamlet is he. What hi* head communis hi* hands execute, aud at the moment. He did not procra*fi liate. He did not eveu wait to see whether auv one was watching him. He advanced to the window of the post office, broke a pane of glass, opened the sash, and without the slightest tiepida tiou took out the mail-bag. and having concealed it walked off. He woa not in error as to finding one hundred pound* —he found wore than a thousand when he opened the bag in his tent at Du Toit * Pan. But he found iu the bag what he had not thought of. Two thoua and three hundred aud seventy-four diamonds of all weights, from eiglitv nin<> carat* down, and of all degrees of brilliancy, vera spread K-fiom'j to nominate kirn (Mendineta) as Presi dent of Honduras. The Hondnrians were averse to the inauguration, ami none were present at the ceremrpiies, while many fled to the woods. Jose Maria Medina, the real President of Honduras, is near Han Pedro, and likely to attack Omoa. The British and Span- j bh consuls ask for war vessels to protect the interests of the British ami Spanish subjects. BLUNDER OF A NOVELIST.—A French eorriwpondcnt of the Nation telle how Punl 1* eval, one of the moat popular of these sensational novelists used to write three or fqur novels at the name time for various papers. In order to find bin way in the labyrinth of his own imagina tion, he had a number of small dolls fur each story, strung together in the dress of their role—monks, kings, dnchesses, soldiers, etc. His valet brought him the string of the novel he was working at, and eneh time one of the personages was killed or died the corresponding (toll was taken off. One day the valet forgot to take away the doll of the personage who hud rome to grief and had fall'.n 111 a duel. The result was that the editor of the paper in which the novel appeared was soon surprised to receive a number of angry letters demanding to see bow it was tbut Monsieur 80 und-so, who was killed a moDth before, had come to life again! REMEDY FOR CORNS.— When a young man, says a correspondent of the Country () nlleman, I used to lie very much amoved by those painful excrescences called 44 corns," 011 the toes and feet, until I was told of a very simple but effectual remedy for them by some per son. It was to batlie the feet in tepid water, to soften them; then pare them off very closely with a sharp knife; then rub on well green peach-tree leaves ; when, after continuing the rubbing once or twice a day, the corns will entirely disappear, and not return, without the cause which first occasioned them. I have often tried the remedy, and never found it to fail yet. It seems to be the pmssic acid in tfie peach-tree leaves that takes them away. A Pennsylvania paper suggests that farmers post their names at their door yard gates in srder to gratify the curiosi ty of the trailing public. The Heaven* Ablate. The sun bad hardly set, any* a Now York pa|>er, when the soft peculiar light of the aurora boreali* began to manifest itself iu the northern part of the sky. At this period, aud up to 104 o'clock, it pre sented tbe appoarnuce of a eoft luminous cloud, with a just perecptible green tinge. This gradually increased in site until it filled the entire hemisphere from west l> east. The luminous mya grew also brighter, but it was not until 10| o'clock that anything special about it was observed, although its extent was indeed something uniisralh led. At that hour pencils of light itegan to shoot from the kctlitli, the place from which they darted (wing surrounded by bunt clouds of electric light, a loch were extremely beautiful, but ao very slight that the quite small stars could lie soon through lactu. The jnile green atiovc the hori aoiv now glow stronger mnl stronger until it was of a deep emerald hue of a purity and splendor impossible to de scribe. This formed an mimeuse ureh, not porfeet iu configuration, but Urokeu and wavering. Above this there was a sjaice of clear sky, which seamed quite dark from contrast, aud alaivb this lucre was another emerald roue of a somewhat leas pronounced color. The rays oflight lieeamc now unusually bright and ap|a reuUy of a pure white, though tliia mar have been by contrast They were at ttrat narrow, but quickly they became broad bauds, reaching from the xenith clear down to the emerald rones. And aow above these xonea the sky became a pale roseate color, which deepened mo -1 to-utsnly until it was blood ml. Then the broad baud* Iwcame tmged witii these colors and had the appearance of immense M-arves. but they did uot long remain, for they quickly disappeared, and were replaced by vivid pencils of light which came aud went quicker thau the eye could follow. Along these p-n --cils, which were divided from each other by deep corresponding shadows, the light aeemed to wrander up and down in tremulous waves with a quick sort of ebb aud flow. This magnificent phantasma goria lasted some twenty minutes, and entirely coastal by 11 o'clock. AMMALM I* CAUTOBXIA.—I fottinl that it ia oue of the advantages fhe farmers h#rt>, uja a California Valloy eurresjKiudetit, that they o*e jwature horses and cattle on tbe |iuhUo and rail road laud# near them which arc unoccu pied. A farmer *tak<* out hia few cat tic or horse* during the Winter, Spring and Summer, aud tliey get abuudant food ft out the pastures. Eveu working cattle are fed here without grain; I drove a hundred mile* with a pair of horses which did not in the whole diatance re ceive an ounce of Iwrley; when we camp ed at night, the hurovi were staked out in the open plain; they ate themselves full during the night, aud kept fat.

THE AMSEICAS PAWCXL I'OHT.— By tlie new postal law which came into opera tion on the Ist of July packages of dry goods, hardwure, drugs except liquid drugs) not exceeding twelve ounces in weight can be mailed to any part of tha United States at a charge of 2 cents for each two ounce* or fraction of two ounces. Much time and money will lie saved by this arrtuigeiucut. The express companies demand at least 4<> cents for the transportation of a package, how ever small, for any distance. The Post office authorities, on the other hand, will forward a twelve ounce package to San Francisco for twelve cents. For in stance, a jMxir of boots, if neither boot weighs more than the specified twelve ounces, may be wrapped up in two *ep arate parcels, and sent acroas tlie conti nent for 24 cents; whereas, under tbe old plan the transportation of goods of this description would have cost almost more money tluui they were worth. Dp to the present time the post office has lost money by the new system, owing to the fact that the general public has uot taken advantage of it to such an extent as to make it remunerative. Bnt it is expected that when the advantages of the system are tborougly appreciated tbe scheme will prove aa profitable to the Government as it is beneficial to the public. The Tbce Roa to Rtccesk. — l The value of advertising lias been time and again a subject of remark. The great business interests that have been built up among tis within the last quarter of a century owe their existence in a great measure, to liberal, nnd yet judicious nse of advertising through the columns of the newspaper. Take, for instance the financial houses in the lower part of town that have made it a point to nse the newspaper as a mnlinm of informa tion to the public of their business, and whose names are familiar to every news paper reader. People seeking railroad investments recur as naturally to the name as they would to Dolmonieo'a in ease they wanted a dinner. The forego ing aliow indisputably that men who have a een projected by men more iu accord with the journalistic spirit of the age.— Ktw York Paper. A DESERTED TOWN.— "One day, in company with an American officer, way a a writer, "we were following, as usual, a herd of Buffalo, when wc came upon a town standing silent and deserted in tho middle of the prairie. ' That, 1 mud the American, 'is Kearney City. It did a good trade in theold wagon times; but it busted tip when the railroad went on farther West. The people moved on to North Platte and Juiesberg; guess there's only one man left in it now, and he's got snakes in his l>oots the hull season.' Marveling what manner of ronn this might lie who dwelt alone in the silent city, we rode on. One house showed traces of oeenjmtion, and in this house dwelt the man.

MISTAKEN FOR BANDITS. —Thomas Carroll, of Ban Jose, Cal., while riding near that city saw two men whom he supposed to be highwaymen. He shot one of them dead, and made the other a prisoner. An investigation showed the victim to lie Henri Battel, tin inoffensive French florist, who with a companion in the same business was go ing into the mountains near Almaden to gather flowers.

A •orro*pondant of flie London 7Sm*i tells this story: I happened to know th gentleman and lady agwinat whom a complaint was rreontly made because of the snakes they keep, and I should like to give a short accouut of my first visit to them. Mr M.. after we had talked for a little time, asked if 1 hud tiny fear of anakea, aud after a timid 11 No, not very" from roe, he produced out of a cupboard a large boa constrictor, a py thou, and several small sunken, which st once made themselves at home on the writing table uuioug pens, ink, and tMMika. 1 waa at first a good deal star tled, especially whan the two large Miuk* colli d round and rouud my friend, and tiegau to notice me with tlicir briulit eyes and forked tougtiea ; but uoou find ing how tame they were 1 ceased to feel frightened. After a short time Mr. M. expressed a wish to call Mrs. M. and left nie with the boa deposited on an arm chair. I felt a little queer when the reptile began gradually to coma near, but the entrance of niy host and hostess, followed by two eliurtning little children, put nie at my ease again. After the first interchange of civilities she and the children went at once to the boa, and, calling it by the most endear ing mane, allowed it to twine itself moat gracefully about them. 1 sat talking for a long time lost iu wonder at llie picture before me. Two IM-autiful little girls with their charming mother sat liefore nie with a boa constnetor (as thick rouud us a small tree), twiniug playfully rouud the lady's waist aud neck, and forming a kind of turlum rouud her head, expect ing to le jietUnl aud made much of like a kitten.

It was lung before I could make up my mind to end the visit, and 1 returned soon after with a friend (a distinguished M. P.) to see my snake tammg acquaintance again. About a year ago Mr. ami Mrs. M. were away for six weeks, and left the boa in* charge of a keeper at the Zoo.

Cotton flannels are in quest and woolen flannel* are all ac tive at reduced rates. Cloths aud coatings are in fair demand. In Brown Sheetings and Shirting* the demand has been in moderate amounts, and the agents have held the price firmly at 14 jc. Medium grwdre are in better supply, yet no reduction is reported.

Manners.— Before yon bow to a lady iu the street, permit her to decide wheth er you shall do so or not, by at least a look of recognition. "Excuse my glove*" is an nnnecessary apology, for the glove should not he withdrawn to shake hand*. When your companion hows to a lady, you should do so also. When a gentle man bows to a lady in your company, always bow to him in return. A letter must be answered unless you wish to in timate to flic writer that he or his object is beneath your notice. A visit must he returned in like manner even though no intimacy is intended. A smiling counte nance is pleasant, but excess of laughter should be avoided, especially when it is possible for aay one to suppose himself derided by lb Whispering is always of fensive, and often for the reason that per sons present suspect that they are the subject of ib Too STRICT. —The Ht Petersburg!! (Suettit tells a story which Illustrates the stringency of Russian passport regula tions. The village of Volotehlk, on the Oalician frontier, was s week or two ago surprised by a tire. Of course there was no engine in the place. Prompted by a feeling of neighborly charity, the Austrian town of Brody dispatched its corps of firemen with all speed to the assistance of the distressed village. They made for the frontier at a brisk gallop, but on arri ving there, they were stopped by the Donane soldiers and gruffly reminded of their omtnission to provide themselves with passports for the nocturnal trip. The could not therefore bo permitted to cross the frontier, but had to return to Brody, their way home being lighted up by the flames which they had set out to quench.

With all onr wealth, industry, and natnrwl resources the nation is getliog deeper and deeper in debt every year for dry goods and other luxaries, and for dry goods especially. AH the gold we extract from the earth, and more, is drained from tbe country to pay the balance of trade against us.

The i ieaon that we, as farmers, have to learn I is not to be discouraged, but to keep on i the even tenor of our ways, studying how I to improve our farina to cheapen the cost iof production, to raise sneh crops and I keep such atoek as are adapted to oar soils and situations, to aell when we can get reasonable price# and be content with profits, and not rnsh into every new thing that for the tune Wing is bringing an ex travagant price. There is seldom s year, when a good, steady going, enterprising intelligent fanner who works his land thoroughly and Improves his stock has not something to sell that affords a good profit. If pork ia low, wool is high ; if beef is cheap, wheat is dear. If corn can not be sold for what it costs t* produce it lie knows that in well ventilated corn cribs it will keep for any length of time. Some yeara ago 1 was offered corn in the streets of Hloomington, 111., for "nine cents cash per bushel, and ten cents in trade." In less than two years I was in Illinois again, and asked the price of corn in tho same neighborhood, and was an swered "one dollar and ten cents per bushel." Of course such fluctuations are demoralizing. Hut we must make the best of our situation. —Agi-icaUvritt. VOLCANIC Eur max.—A week lief ore the recent great eruption of Vesuvius, Merapi, the great volcano of Java, which hud Wn quiescent since 1 WO, gave signs again of activity. On the evening of the lftth of April It threw out a stream of lava which buried villages, filled np abysses, nnd checked rivers in their course. The lied of a river upon whose banks, eighty feet in height, cveiy tree and shrub wits burnt up, was filled up to the depth of fifteen feet with lava. In the villages below many people perished, but of those living in the higher alti tudes little in known, ns the mountains are still inaccessible. Showers of ashes, stones, nnd sand followed the eruption and added to the desolation. In many places the sand and ashes lay four feet deep, canning great damage to the coflee and other plants. In Solo, the rain of ashes lasted three long days, and caused snch durkness that lights had to be burnt all through the day. Slight shocks of earthquake accompanied tho outbreak. From the latest accounts 200 corpses— probably but a portion of the unhappy sufferers—had been fonnd.
