To MOVE A BALKY HOWE.— A Text**
once told us that he knew of no simpler
and surer way to move a balky horse,
than to place the hand over the nose of
the animal and shut off his wind until he
wants to go, then let hitn go.

to be on the increase, both as to the :
number of auimsls attacked, and iu re

has also appeared iu localities, aud seems *
to be spreading.

and mix through the cabbage. The
cabbage must not be too green. Manv

How TO W THE Fisn Toe HOOK. —
A friend of the Pilchard Unit hers, the
noted fly makers, sends to Wdkts' Spirit
the following. Tfe says: T have actual
ly taken twenty-five tn*r in one week,
varying in weight .from three and n-half
pounds to eight pound-, each by the un
dermentioned method and never found it
to fail. 1 have a long, stiff rod, accom
panied by reel hue and gut in comparison,
and two or ffiree doxen blue-bottle flies,
such as yon will find in a butcher shop.
I used to flay a half-penny a dozen for
them, Bate with a g*cd sized pertti
hook. Pbce a couple of these fliea back
to back, lengthwise, with about three
quarters of a yard of gut from the rod;
put your bait in a hole in the leaf of a tree
and let it sail down to the spot where you
have the trout feeding, or where yon have
seen or heard one rise. At the same
time you must be careful not-to disturb
the fish. as. like the hare in her form,
once disturbed they will not return.
Again, if fishing in a boat, gathers pock
ettull ot leaves of the alder-tree, per
forate them, and drop one or two from the
top of the rod, and then put the flies in
the hole of the leaf, nakicg tbeia appear
to be alive by shaking the rod. when
hnoktd, play with confidence, but not
with force, or else you will lose your tack

THE DIET or FOWIA.— The diet of
gallinaceous birds, when they are in a
wihl state, contains a large proportion
of highly - seasoned or aromatic sub
stances. The hud* and berries plucked
in the forest are generally spicy, or well
flavored with h*tpeet, or are peppery or
pungent. B ce the peculiar game
flavor p .K-e* 'd, as every epicure knows,
by the fle-b of wild animals. Our cul
tivated grains have a delicious aroma,
as proved by newly-popped corn, or the
fragrance of a loaf fresh from the oven,
lbe flavor of wheat belougs more
especially to the portion of the kernel
nearest the hull, one reason for the pop
ularity ot graham flour. The flavoring
principle inartides of food inch as fruits,
nuts, graina, or other seeds, consists in a
peculiar volatile oil. Now, aroma, bou
quet, flavcw, or whatever we chooao to
call it, in food, possesses almost univer
sally a tonic of stimulating propriety.
It gives zeal to the appetite, and aids
digestion.. To apply these remarks to
the diet of fowls; though grain is aro
matic, it is bat slightly so when compared
with the intensely seasoned forest-fare
ol the partridge, wild turkey, or the
parent of onr domestic fowl, the wild
jangle-ben of India. To restore the lost
balance, therefore, between tho nutri
tive and stimulating properties of the
food of our poultry, a little cayenne
popper, ground mustard, or ginger may
be added to their dough, meal, or mashed
Eotatoes, with decided benefit to their
ealth and prcfltfloneea.
DB. FRAHKLTN'S OFFER.— Dr. Frank
lin made the following offer to a young
man: "Make," said he, "a full estimate
of all you owe, and of all that is owing
you. Reduce the same to a note. As
fast as you can collect, pay over to those
you owe; if you cannot collect, renew
your notq every year and get the best
security you can. Go to business dilligent
ly; be very economical in all things;
discard all pride, be industrious, waste no
idle moments; be faithful in your duty
to God, by regular and hearty prayer,
morning and evening; attend to church
and meeting regularly every Sunday;
and do unto all men as you would tbey
should doitnto you. If you are too needy
in circumstances to give to the poor, do
whatever else may be in yonr power for
them cheerfully, hot if you can, always
help the vrOfthy poor and unfortunate.
Pursue thiijomirse diligently and sincerely
for seven years, and if you are not happy,
corafortabjg jtnd independent in ybur
circumstances, come to me and I will pay
your debt®"" -Young people, try it.
A U <I „■
HEB G HQ,"— "Not long ago there was an
appeal mafleiu ytJohn's.Church,lthaca,
New York, in behalf of " The Society
for the Incngpe of the Ministry." Facte
had been presented showing* that the
supply of young men for the pulpit was
too money was asked to aid
young men to study for the ministry.
Envelopes were placed in the slips to be
filled out*! promises for future gifts by
those lacking present means. A lady
wrote, " Name and amount, SIOOO ; ad
dress, Ithaca ; time when weiwt u-e ad
milted to tM mint*try." This voucher
the placed on the collection plate as it
was passed.
Tom Hartley got Hl* Wish.
F. very body iu the town of 8 seem
ed to be astir. All the boy* in the town
wore, I'm sum For several days, Inrge
printed bills, with pi dure* of lions and
tigers, had covered the fence* here ami
there, all around; and these were to tell
that a grand circus w.ia coming. Beside
the wild animals, which wero in great
cages, there were three elephants; then
there wen* pome*, with monkeys to ride
them, and trained horses, ana the fun
niest lookiug fellow of a clown. Alto
get her, there was a great deal to see.
snd it's no wonder the bovs were half
crssy over it; I'm sure 1 should have
been myself.
Well, very soon the music was heard,
sad how delightfully it sounded that
bright, sunshiny morning 1 "There!
there! they're coming," cried ever so
many of the IHJS at once, and iu a
moment they saw the cloud of dual stray
down the rood.
"I wonder if the lioua ever get out?"
said little Bob Euunott, as they all stood
wa telling.
••I guess we'd all run if they should,"
said l>ick Upton.
"Pooh! run! 1 wouldn't," aaid Tom
Hartley. *l'tl just like to see them run
ningaround loose—wouldn't it be jolly!"
"I guess you'd be seared if the eleph
ant should step on y on," said Bob.
"Scared!— now what do yon think I'd
dot I'd just push lus foot away, and I'd
give him a great kick; and 1 guess he
wouldn't step ta me again."
! Now, Tom always talked in thia grand
; wnv, aud the boys thought he nitist be
j very brave. It's true he fluttered aml
shirt among the geese, aud wlieu the old
' gander flew at him Torn ran screeching
! tike a loon. Then another time he roar
ed lustily because he thought a cow
chased him.
Well, pretty soon the circus came, sud
while the performance was going on a
monkey was brought and put on th<
pony "Hector's*' back. "Oil! don't 1
wish I could ride him," said Tom llart
ley.
"Wouldn't you be scared?" said Jack
Wilson.
"Seared—pooh! I shouldn't bo scared
if bo jumped as as the top of the
teflt. The higher no jumped the better
I'd like it."
Just at that minute "Hector" kicked
up his bind legs and threw the moukey
across the teak But the monkey pick
ed himself up and ran after "Hector"
caught him by the tail. Then he com
menced striking him with a stick. It
didn't hurt the i orse at all, but he pre
tended that it did, and so he ran around
the riue as fast as he could go.
But it happened that he xtop|>ed just
under the platform where the boys were,
and as the clown came up, Bob Upiou
throw a noire of melon rind at his head,
and Jack Wilson reached down with a
long stick he had. and poked the cap oil
his head. Then the boys all shouted and
i atam|>ed their feet, and screamed out all
manner of rude things again.
The clown looked very angry; he pick
ed up hia cap, but no sooner had he put
it on his head again, than TOM Hartley
reached down with his stick to poke it
off. But Tom's stick was not loug enough,
and in reaching down, over Torn went.
He fell to the ground and hurt himself
a good deal, but he hadu't time to thiuk
of that, for quick as a wiuk, the clown
Eicked him up and put him on "Hector's"
ack.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" roared Tom, as the
rlowu cracked his whip, and "Hector"
commenced running around the ring at
anawfnl gallop. Tom thought he should
die; he tried to hold on, but he scream
ed so lout "Hector" was frightened,
and rau a great deal faster than ever he
did with the monkey. The clown put
up the bars, and "Hector" gave a great
jump aud went over them. It almost
took the breath ont of Tom. I really
think then the clown might have taken
him off. Buthedidu't; he clapped his
hands and "Hector" understood what he
was to do; so he kicked up bis hind legs,
and Tom went —not exactly sky high,
hut over the horse's head and almost
acro-s the tent
Of course it hart Tom a great deal
more than ever it did the monkey, for
the monkey was sack a little fellow, and
theu he always knew when "Hector"
was going to throw him. and could give
a jump. But there lay pooi Tom on the
ground, screaming louder than ever he
did in his life before.
Then the clown toqk up a long iron
rod that bad a hook on the end of it, and
went up to Tom. "Oh. see," cried the
boys, he's going to lick him."
The elown came up to where Tom lay
sprawling on the ground, nud he stoop
ed dow„ and looked at him, as though
he saw some very curious thing that he
never had seen before. He looked in
snch a funDy way, that it made every
body in the circus langh. Then the
clown pot the hook right through the
waistband of Tom's trowsers and held
him up.
All the people shouted and laughed
again, for Tom looked just like a crab
stuck on the end of a poker. And so
the elown carried him over, and lifted
him up to the platform.
Poor Tom! For mv own part, I felt
very sorry for him; but after that, he
never was heard to any that he should
like to ride on a circus horse, and he
never again was known to toaze the
clown.— Rural Nev Yorker.
i A FISH WITH Font HANDS.— Mr.
Foord, member of the Australian Eclip
se Expedition, recently described before
i the Hnyal Society a most extraordinary
crec ure, which was dredged up from
the bottom of the sea near the northern
shores of Australia. Mr, Foord says:
" The body was that of a fish, but, won
derful to relate, it had in the place of
fins four legs, terminated by what yon
might call hands, by means of which it
made its way rapidly over the coral reef.
When placed on the skylight of a steam
er, the fish stood np on its four legs, a
sight to behold! It was small, and
something like a lizard, but with the
body of the fisb!" The land animals of
Australia are notorious for their peculiar
forms and structure, but according to
the above they are even less nondescript
than those inhabiting the Australian
seas. Mr. White member of the same
expedition, tolls strange tales abont rats.
"The little island upon which we pitch
ed our tents," be says, "was overrun
with them, and what was most extraor
dinary, they were from every color from
black to yellow, and some tortoise
shell."
MFSSELO. —Mussels are found as na
tives, all over the world, their f. vorito
haunts being estuaries, in which the
fresh and salt waters arc mixed to their
rather epicurean taste; but cultivation
has done much fot the improvement of
their flavor.particularly in France, where
a great deal of attention has been paid
to the matter. Stakes are placed near
the moutli of an estuary.so that the ebb
ing and flowing of the tide shall alter
nately submerge and expose the greater
part of their length. On these the
young mussels fasten themselves, and
hero they are allowed to remain for
about twelve months. At the expira
tion of this time they are removed and
thrown on wicker shelves, s > placed that
they will again be alternately submerged
and exposed. Here they remain for a
like length of time after which they are
thrown on other wicker shelves placed
entirely above the water. After a year's
residence here they -are deemed ready
for use and are taken directly to the
market
COPPER AND CHOLF.HA.— During the
cholera epidemic which prevailed m
En rope several years ago, it was observed
in Parte and elsewhere that workers in
copper appeared to enjoy an almost ab
solute immunity from the disease, and a
similar experience has been met with in
Bagdad, where the disease was very
prevalent the past year, indeed, to snch
an extent that between the end of April
and the end of October about 800 persons
died in a population of 80,000 person*.
Out of this latter number alxmt 500
were engaged in making or selling cop
per articles, and it is asserted that among
them there was not a single victim to the
•holera.
A Court-martial sitting at Versailles for
the trial of Communists has passed sen
tence of death npon Lsftancais and Clus
eret by reason of their contumacy in re
fusing to appear and answer the grave
charges against them.
A Story of the Wreck,
fleo, W. Howard, of Rome N. Y., will
lie remembered * the gentleman who
was married at Sharon Spring* a few day*
since, and WM on hla way to visit a bro
ther in Pawtucket, K. 1., when lie lost hi*
bride of a day by the late Metl* diaaater.
The next morning what was supposed to
be hla wife'* body was found, and It wa*
reported that her tnneral would take
place at Sharon Spring* yesterday. The
wife'* ring*, though it wa* of a different
pattern, yet he did not feel positive that
it wa* hi* wife. Being nearly exhausted
himself, and not in a condition to think
much about it, he concluded it tnuat he
her. Accordingly a coffin wa* procured,
at Stouington, and he started for the
home of hi* loved oie. lie arrived there
Saturday evening ith what he upj>ved
WM the remain* of hi* wife, hut, on open
: ing the coffin at the residence of hi*
wife'* parent*, they discovered at oneo
that it wa* not theirdaugliter. The scene
that followed ran be better imagined than
described. The afflicted husband at once
returned to Stoniugton, and forwarded
the corpse by express. When he arrived
he found another man searching tor the
body he had supposed wn* his wife. In
the meantime, hi* friend* in Pawtucket
had heard of the lady who was picked up
by thesehooner A. H. Belden and brought
to Newport, and bad telegraphed to the
' undertaker for a description, which he
! gave, and at the same time had a photo
| grapli taken and sent also. Tin*convinc
ed them that the body which had been iu
j ihi* city *ince Friday uigtit wa* no other
than the wife of Mr. Howard. He, in
j company with hi* brother, arrived here
j this morning, aud at once ideutifietl her.
The scene that follows beggars descrip
i tion. As the husband gased upon the
I remains of his beloved, he was deeply af
fected, as were all present. The body
was taken away on the boat, via Wickford,
to Home, N. Y. She was twenty eight
vears ot age, and hears a striking resom-
I blatice to the woiuan the huaband had
supposed was hi* wife. Mr. Howard state*
that the coat found upon her was placed
there by himself to keep her warui, and
that a moment after they were washed
ft out the Metis, and all his exertions to
j save her were fruitless. It is a sad atory,
| probably the roost heartrenderiug one
i that can be told of the terrible disaster.
I'KUOVERSISLE RSNREK.— How true it
is that "he lhat i* slow to anger i* better
than the mighty; and he thar ruleth hi*
spirit, than he that taketk a city." A
failure in these rtspects recently occasioned
a series ot terrible tragedies iu Gloucester
county, 111. A farmer named White who
was not slow to auger, shot a couple ol
bounds belonging to a neighbor named
Holt because they were ruuntng across his
farm. Holt wanted .White to pay for the
dogs. White refused to pay for them, and
threatened to shoot Holt. A short time
afterward as Holt was pasting \N lute's
place, a ueighbor who was there asked
lum to stop and sec a new thrashing ma
chine work. Holt cliuihcd over the fence
and went near the thrashing machine;
when Wbite immediately assailed him
with a pitchfork. Holt twisted the fork
out of his hauds, and then While mounted
a hore, aud rode off to a brother's house
to get a gun with which to shoot Holt,
who meanwhile lclt the tlcld aud started
on bis way home. White soon rode back,
with a gun loaded with sis buckshot, and
shot Holt dead in the road. Mrs. Holt,
who was ill, on hearing the terrible news,
gave a groan of horror and died, and her
new-born twins also died. On hearing of
the fate ol Mrs- Holt and her iulants, the
neighbors became wild with rage and ven
geance at White, who gave himself up to
the sheriff ol the count v and begged h.s
protection. Tl* sheriff tried to protect
him but in vain. That same tiig'ut mre
than two hundred citizens assailed the
jail, broke in the door with a log. took
White into the yard, and bung him to the
limb of a tree. Thus five live* were sacri
ficed because men were not slow to auger,
and did not rule their spirits.
DIAMOND DHKJERS. —The diamond
diggers iu the South African fields em
ploy Kafirs to do the hardest part of the
Wi rk, some o? the miner* having large
gangs iu their seiviee. These mtivs
receive wages, and are expected to turn
over all lbe diamonds they fiud to their
masters ; but although the most careful
precautious nre taken to prevent thofts,
which if discovered are severely pun
ished, the blacks succeed iu concealing
many gems. A late number of the
Diamond Xetrs givss an account of a
Kafir who was killed by falling into a
chum, upon whose body was found,
secreted in the scams of his clothing, no
less than forty-five diamonds, one of
them weighing fifty carats. A Boer
working close by heard of this, and as
a servant of his had died shortly before
he hud the body exhumed. His trouble
was rewarded "by finding about thirty
diamonds. These discoveries open a
new field for explorers which will proli
ably be industriously worked. At the
New Bush fields a diamond weighing 166
carats was found in June, and was
deemed so gieat a curiosity, even there,
that it was placed ou exhibition, the
owner giving the receipts to the hospital
fund. It is described as beautifully
shaped, off-colored, with an unfortunate
flaw in it.
SAVAOB SSAKK.— The other day as a
Mr. W. L. Dunbar was at work in his
field lie suddenly came upon a huge
black snake, fully ten feet long, and be
fore he could step bock the snake darted
forward and viciously attacked him - ;
rapidly coiling about his right leg, mouth
wide "open. Mr. Dunbar, after a hard
sttnggle, succeeded in kicking it from
his leg with the left foot, when it in
stantly coiled abont that foot and leg,
and tenaciously clung to it for some
time, when Mr.* Dnnbar at length freed
himself from lite uncomfortable cus
tomer. The snake thus foiled, erected
its head and struck a bee line for the
woods, making a liumming or blowing
noise which could be beard for a long
distance. The attack was so sudden and
unexpected that Mr. Dunbar was per
fectly paralyzed and unable to move for
some time after the snake left. He savs
bis hair arose on end, and the cold sweat
stood out all over him.
ARTIFICIAL EYES.—A French paper
gives a detailed account of the manu
facture of false eyes in Paris, from which
the curious fact appears that the average
sale per week of eyes intended.for the
human head amount* to 4(K). "One of
the leading dealers in this article car
ries on the business in a saloon of
great magnificence; his servant has
lint one eye, and the effect of any of
the eyes wanted bv enstomers is con
veniently tried in this servant's bciul,
so that the customer can judge verv
readily as to the appearance it will
produce in his owu head. The charge
is about fsl<i per eye. For tho poor
there ure second-hand visual organs,
which have been worn for a time, iiml
exchanged for new ones ; they nre Bold
at reduced prices, and quantities arc
sent off to India and the Sandwich Is
lands.
HEARS AT. —An old French officer was
relating a story of a battle with the Prus
sians in the late war,when lie was great
ly annoyed by the repeated interruptions
of a forward young lieiitoDant who had
his knowledge of that battle only by
"hearsay," yet continually chimed in
with, "Yes, yes—that's right." Tlioex
aspcrated narrator had just reached the
critical moment when there was a gener
al action ulong the whole line. His regi
ment was ordered to the front. It
charged. "Monsieur," politely contin
ued tho sujierior, turning to his trouble
some bearer, "it was there that I was
killed. Please continne the story."
An incipient riot has been prevented
in Havana by the energetic action of
Captain-General Ceballos. The coach
men of Havana, discontented with the
new law opposed to their extortions, met
in dangerous numbers in various parts of
the city, preventing peaceable coach
men from working and bringing matters
to the verge of a riot. Ceballos, accom
panied by only u few police officers, ap
peared in person among the mob and so
cowed them by his presence as to put
a speedy end to the disturbance. Sev

and everything is again quiet, the coaches

" Yon forget that it is the dunes that

to buy the Carletou place, but l-ft you
quite a surplus besides. Now, do you

" I don't think it has done me any

" Now, ]on't you feel hat spending

" Why, man," retorted pet
ulantly. Hinging the stump cf his cigar
across the road, " wouldn't you have u

" Most certainly ; but i would have
them of the rational und enduring kind,
aud such as your wife and family eau

me the other day that you couldn't afford

the amount you sjend every week, for

"True enough. Mary has Wen teas
ing me to subscribe for the village pajicr

"Then why don't you do it? By

Now, I'ilikins, take mv advice, and

There is a useful lesson to be drawn
from the foregoing conversation, nud
which is of actual occurrence.
I am spt-aking to you, sir—not to your
next door neighbor, though perhaps it
may apply equally as well to him.
ldou't deny your families tho simple
and innocent pleasures that make home

How TO TREAT A HORSE. Some
English grooms at Saratoga arc teaching
the "Yankees" how to take care of a
horse. To-dsy I asked one of these
grooms, who has spent twenty years in
the stables of royalty, what lie had to
say about the American way of taking
care of a horse. "Why, sir," said he,
"yon don't take good care of your horses ;
you think you do, but you don't."
"Why!" I asked. "Because, when a
horse comes in all wet with perspiration,
you let hitn stand in the stable and dry
with all the dirt on. In England, we
take the horse as he comes in from a
drive and sprinkle blood-warm water all
over him, from hi* hrad to hit fttt. Then
we scrape him down and blanket him,
rubbing bis legs and face dry. Tims, in
an hour ho is clean and dry and ready to
take a good feed, while with your way he
will staml and swelter for honrs, and
finally d-y, sticky and dirty. Onr horses
never founder and never take cold. We
never use a currycomb. You scratch
your horses too hard. The only rare
necessary is to have the water not very
cold, then bathe them quick and hlankut
them instantly, while you are rubbing
their legs." I think the groom is sound,
and I've noticed the aamo practice myself
in England.

A SHAM FORTRESS ivn A SHAM BATTLE.
—A correspondent say* tliat the following
fraud was practiced upon the ("z*r Alex
ander, while yet Crown I'rince. There
was a certain fortrews placer! w the mPi
tary map of the Caucasus. The Crown
Prince, on visiting the latter country, ex
pressed to Prince Woronznff, the com
manding general, his desire to visit Said
fortress. The general himself, who had
never seen the fortress, addressed himself
to the chief engineer, who informed him
that the fortress existed only on the map.
flow to dissuade the Crown Prince from
Ids notion to visit the mythical fort was
not an easy task. The general resorted
first to the strategy of frightening !>aek
the Crown Prince by the story of t)>e fort
being in the centre of a very dangerous
band of marauding Circassians; hut.when
this did not have the desired effect, he at
last improvised a sitsm attack by adivision
of his Russian soldiers turned into Circas
sians, and stationed on the imaginary
route to the fort. The sham fight lasted
for an hour or so, at the end of which the
Prince was congratulated by the com
manding general for his great bravery in
the terrible fight. There were a great
many sluun deaths on both the Russian
and Circassian side, and many were the
decorations which the Emperor Nicholas,
father of the Imperial Prince, distributed,
at the latter's recommendation, among
officers and soldiers who took part in this
expedition. Only some years afterward
was the deception exposed through sn
officer who had fallen out with General
WoronEoff. The millions that had been
drawn from the imperial treasury lor the
erection of a fortress in the conquered
country went into the pockets of tho topo
graphical chief engineer and his assist ants.
I have the above from a Russian aud not
Polish source, and from a gentleman who
was himself an officer in the party. Of
course it never has been published, for
the vigilant eye of the censor would never
have permitted it.
