Farm, Garden and Household
The FlJr.
Hon. L. A. Morrill read a paper be
fore the Farmer*' Club, in which he
said: Sheep during the summer month*
are subjected to extreme annoyance from
flic*, principally the pad-fly, and the
several varieties of worm, or maggot
flic*. Fine-wooled sheep, from the
compactness of their wool, do not suffer
from the attacks of the latter, unless
from scours or wounds, but the French
long-wooled varieties are especially ex
posed. The insects passing under the
name of flv, though most troublesome
in July and August, attack sheep from
Mav to September inclusive, depositing
t'keir eggs smong the wool, in general
about the tail, the roots of the horns,
or any part which affords, from its filthy
condition, a prospect of suitable pro
vision for the maggot. When the eggs
are hatched, a process which is, in sul
try weather, almost instantaneous, fhc
maggot invades the akin, and speedily
brings the adjacent parte into a fit state
for the reception of succeeding mem
bera of it* species. The hacks of long
wooled sheep are, from their exposure,
more liable to be selected by the ffiea as
a receptacle for their eggs than the cor
responding parts in such aa are covered
by a short, thick rteeoc. No sooner has
the maggot hegnu ita operations than
the sheep becomes uneasy and restless,
rubbing itself on fence* uid trees, ami
endeavoring by every mean* iu its pow
er to free itself fiom the annoyance.
Teased by the constant irritation, fever
soon sets*in, and if the sheep is not re
lieved by the shepherd's aid, death will
inevitably follow.
To wan! off the attacks of flies, vari
ous substances obnoxious to them have
been reoonunended. Tar, with apirtta
of turpentine, may le applied about Ue
ears, horns, and tail; while others pre
fer a little melted butter or lard, thick
ened with flour or sulphur, put along
the sheep's Ivack, which is, on the au
thority ef Blacklock, an eftetoal pre
ventive. I have preferred a mixture
of tar and turpentine to anything else,
as nothing is so abhorent to all insecta
a* the odor of turpentine. Sheep far
mers cannot be too vigilant during the
snmrner mouths, and if any of their
flocks are affected with aoouraor wounds
they should be got up without any delay
and the above application made. 1 tains
should be still more closely watched,
especially the Saxons and" Merinos,
whose pugnacious tempers incline them
frequently to hattle, often inflicting
wounds around the bases of the horns
which are certain to call the flies. Many
valuable rams have been lost from this
cause, which watchfulness might have
prevented.
• F. P. Curtis—l have had some expe
rience with those maggots. Ther are
apt to appear after wet weather. 1 no
ticed after a long spell of wet, sultrv
weather, that one of my bucks was af
flicted as Mr. Morrill represents. I ex
amined him and found that he was cov
ered with mill ions of the maggots. I
tried rubbing them off with a shingle,
but abandoned that, and went to bath
ing with spirits of turpeutine; that
killed them. He was a valuable animal,
and lived for many years afterward.
8. EL Todd—l would recommend com
mon pine tar as being equally ae good
if not better than spirit* of turpentine,
and not so harsh.
H. E. Cotton—l like Mr. Todd's tar
idea, especially if the tar is thinned with
spirits of turpentine.
WHrrrwAsa. —The Lighthouse Board
sends out the following recipe: Slake half
a bushel of unslaked lime with boiling
water, keeping it covered during the
process. Strain it, and add a peck of
salt, dissolved in warm water ; three
pounds of gronnd rice pat in boiling
water, and boiled to a thin paste; half
a pound of powdered Spanish whiting,
and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in
warm water ; mix these well together,
and let the mixture stand for several
da vs. Keep the wash thus prepared in
a kettle or portable furnace, and when
used put it on as hot as possible, with
painters' or whitewash brushes.
To PRESERVE EGOS PERFECTXT FRERH
for six or eight months, beat up the
white of an egg, with a little salt <
scrapie) and three spoonfuls of cold
water. As soon after the eggs are laid,
and while still warm (if possible) paint
them over with the above with a large
camel's hair brush, taking care that the
whole surface is painted, then place
upon blotting-paper till dry and hard.
Pack away amongst corn-chaff or bran.
Before using the albumen, filter it
through muslin till clear and free from
bubbles. If after being albumenized,
the eggs are placed on a plate or table,
it is almost sure to take a chip out of
the Bhell.
To CLEANSE CARPETS. —One teaspoon
ful liquid ammonia in one gallon warm
water, will often restore the color to
carpets, cTen if produced by an acid or
alkali If a ceiling has been white
washed with carpet down, and a few
drops are visible, this will remove it
Another Hay.—After the carpet is
well beaten and brushed, scour it with
ox gall, which will not only extract
grease bat freshen the pint
of gall in three gallons warm water,
will do a large carpet. Table or floor
cloths may be thns washed. The suds
left from a wash, where ammonia is
used, even if almost cold, cleanses these
floor-cloths well.
New Srlhotl of I'MrUkg Hams, Ac.
It is proposed to better preserve
hams, bacon, and the like, by encom
passing them with an impervious coat
ing of specially prepared paper. After
killing, the swine are hong up in a tern-
Eeratnre of forty degrees for thirty-six
ours ; then packed in iee and salt dur
ing twenty-four, and afterwards in brine
for the same length of time. After this
they are sprinkled with saltpetre and
coarse salt, and allowed to lie for seven
days. For another seven days they are
packed bodily in salt. After this pre
liminary treatment they are washed in
clean cold Water, hang up to drain for
twenty-fonr hoars, and then all moist
ure removed with a cloth. Fine ground
alum is then rubbed over and upon
them, and paper made pliable by soak
ing in alum water is closely pressed
upon them, forming a close, and it is
ukimed, practically impervious cover
ing, to exclude the air. But it ia doubt
ful if this paper covering will serve as
good a purpose as that formed of melted
parafline, and used with fair results in
preserving fresh beef from rapid decay
by keeping it away from the contact of
the atmosphere.
Preserving Eggs.
A Wisconsin housekeeper has pro
served eggs fresh from fall to spring by
the following recipe: "Take a piece of
te> n ßli. pliable paper, five or aix inches
square. Wrap it cornerwise around the
egg, and twist the paper protruding at
each end of the egg firmly in place.
Let the paper he large enough to cover
the egg entirely, pack in tub or box,
small end down, and keep in cool
place." The secret of keeping eggs
seems to consist in excluding the air
from them, and in standing them on the
little end down, so that the yolk cannot
adhere to the shell. Of course eggs
should be packed when porfectly fresh,
for a change once begun cannot be ar
rested.
Feeding Cows.
I do not think, says a correspondent,
I ever kept my cows and horses so eco
nomically as during the past winter. And
the cows have been fed principally on
cut corn-stalks, with a little bran and
corn-meal. I drill in my corn; and last'
year I not only had a good crop of corn,
but also a large growth of stalks. I
think this a better plan than raising
corn fodder alone. Drill in the oorn in
rows 3J feet apart, and put on about as
much again seed as you would if plant
ed in hills; and if the land is rich
enough you are pretty sure or a good
crop of fodder, and stand a fair chance
of getting a good crop of corn. This,
on my farm, is better than to grow corn
for fodder alone.
It is asserted that of two hundred
seamen wrecked on the Jersey coast
during the past two years, not a single
life has been lost. This shows in a re
markable degree the efficiency of the
life preserving apparatus introduced
some years since.

A Homeless Family.
Now York papers record, as one illus
tration of poverty in that city, the case
of a woman neatly clad, who "went at 10
o'clock at night into the Twenty-second
street police station, and asked for lodg
ings for herself aud five little children.
The oldest was 7 years and the youngest
sixteen months old. She had leen liv
ing in a tenement honse, and her hus
band spent all his earnings for mm. By
hard work she was able to keep herself
and children from being tamed out of
doors until three nights before. Then
she and her children were tamed out of
their home, and her furniture was
tossed out to the sidewalk as she was
unable to pay n month's rent to June 1
in advance. 'The amount demanded was
$7, and she owed for only two weeks'
rent, amounting to $3.50. From that
time until she went to the Twenty-sec
ond street police station she and her
children slept in the hallway of the ten
ement, the other occnpants occasionally
giving the children a morsel to keep
them from starving. She told the
sergeant that she was nearly worn out
with overwork, but thought that her
daughter's wages, $8 a month, would be
paid in a few days, and that then she
c*old again find a new home.
A Southern Shad Bake.
Build a roaring fire, says a corres
pondent writing from Augusta, On., in
a roomy fire-place that may l>e cnt down
in the clayey soil of any hillside. Shad
of the morning's catch bad already been
prepared in the nicest manner, cleaned
inside and out, and fine salt rublied on
them. Then take seasoned oak planks,
three inches throngh, fourteen inches
wide, and as long as the hanger of the
party demands. When the wood has
bnrned to coals, and the bank of the
fire-place haa been wrought up to the
roasting pitch, these planks are placed
against the fire and heated to the point
of burning. On the smooth hot plonk
the sha<l are spread and nailed. They
are then stood up around the coals and
the hot bonk, and baked—baked jnst to
the nicetv, the outside and inside
brown and crisp, without being smoked
or burnt. The fish ore served at the
river side piping hot, and washed down
with the juice of the native scupper
nong. The clam-bakes of New England
pale their ineffectual fires before a plank
shad-bake. One writer, who has just
been initiated, holds that it will be a
great consolation on the death-bed to
say : " I die, bnt I have hod a shad
bake."
Another Fool and a Gun.
Familiar as a household word or a
thrice-told tale is the story of a tragedy
in Vermilion county, Indiana. Miss
Maggie Thompson, an amiable and very
attractive young lady, was visiting some
relatives named Anderson in Helt town
ship. Lewis Anderson, a "smart" young
gentleman, was syklarking about his
cousin Maggie, half love-making and
half-romping, when he picked up an old
rifle standing in the corner and pointed
it at her. Young Anderson assumed that
the gun was not loaded ; indeed, he was
quite sure of it. But he was mistaken.
The gun fired the first time, and Miss
Thompson was fatally wounded. An
derson, as a matter of course, was great
ly mortified at the occurrence, and was
willing to make any apology.

The Itnaslou of Mexico.
IvmWOMrUI Appro* si of MtHrnilr'i
OprrnilnMi.
As there liaa been much speculation
throughout the country regarding the
recent punishment of the Kickttpoo
Indians in connection with the reported
invasion of Mexican territory by a
cavalry force under Colonel McKciicic,
the following semi-official statement,
which we hear from Washington, ex
plains the attitude of the administra
tion
It was determined lost fall to stop
tlis roving hands of Indians, give thorn
reservations and require them to be on
the lands designated withiu a reason
able time ; not later than January.
Tito President instruct.d the Secretary
of the Interior to inform the Huperinteii
dents and Indian agents located in the
vunuitv of the predatory bands that the
Great Father is exhausted, his heart is
angry and his hand will lie found heavy
against all who do uot obey him, stop
their roving life and peacefully go oti
the reservations assigned them. If they
do not obev him he will send his soldiers
to punish them. The Modooa, Apaches,
and Ktokapooa were about the duly
bauds which resolutely opposed the
order of the President. The result of
the campaign against the Modooa and
Apaches is already known. The Kick
apoos occupied foreign territory, and
for their removal Congress made ample
appropriation. It was tutended to give
them good lands iu the southwestern
part sf ihe Indian Territory, and a
cavalry escort was promised through
Texas to prevent any revengeful attack
by the Texans. All propositions for
their leaving Mexican soil were rejected
and the future care was assigned to the
army. Anticipating a roue* vl of their
forays into Texas, aud in o * that the
entire frontier might be un ' / one com
mand, the Department of Texas was
added to tlie Military Division of the
Missouri under Lieutenant General
Phil. (Sheridan. The visit of the Score
tary of War to Texas in March had u>
official significance whatever. Partly
for recreation and partly for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the Department
was as economically managed as it
should be, he accompanied General
Sheridan on his inspecting tour. From
the latter Colonel McKenxie received
instructions substantially to pursue and
punish the Kickapoos the first time n
decisive blow could be struck. Nothing
was said regarding an invasion of Mexi
can territory ; aud, so far as is knowu,
he obeyed the instructions of his supe
rior officer, without discussing the pro
priety of crossing the Kio Grande iu
executing them. It is not expected his
official report will explain or account
for any alleged violation of the territory
of Mexico. The first iutiiuatiou will
come from the Mexican government. It
will then remain for thw government to
make such defeneFof the past or future
conduct of its military officers on the
Texan border as the peace and pro
tectiou of our people iu this part of the
country may demand. The Kickapoos,
as already 'stated, are included among
the number which have been turned j
over to tho army for punishment. There
is no reason to doubt but what that
order will be strictly obeyed, while it
is equally certain no order has emanated
from the President authorizing the in
vaaion of any j>art of Mexican territory
by the federal forces.
The Mexican Minister has not yet re [
reived a full official account of the
particulars atteuding Colonel McKeu
zia's operations against the Li|uuo>
and Kickapoos, and therefore is not
now prepared to represent the case to
our government with a view to explana
tions. There is no doubt these will be
placed ou the gronnd of the duty of the
government to protect its citizens and
punish all hostile invaders of onr soil
wherever found, the Mexican govern
ment being unwilling or uuable to pre
vent such incursions. It is said iu i
military circles that the ojieratioua of ,
Colonel McKenxie will doubtless serve
as a warning to all armed bands who
cross to our territory for stealing or :
murderous purposes.
Killing Ills Ttaj mate for a Marble.
On Tuesday of last week, says a
Lynchburg, Va, paper, a negro girl,
aged 4 years, was missed from her home,
and night coming on, her |mrent* became
uneasy about her, and a search of the
woods and fields was begun, until soon
after daylight on Friday uioruuig, her
dead body was found in a field some
distance from her father's honse. An
examination of the body was made, and
it soon became evident sho hud leen
murdered, her head beiug beaten almost
to a jelly. Near bv the body lay a small
stick, some seven feet iu length, cover
ed with blood aud hair, showing that
this was the weapon used by the mur
derer. A Coroner's jury assembled at
3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and after
viewing the body the testimony was
commenced. It soon became manifest
that the murder was committed by a
negro boy named Jesse IVnn, who is
only about seven Tears of age. The
l>oy whs sent for and confessed the mur
der, giving as a motive for the deed the
fact that the girl was the owner of a
white marble which she would not give
to him, and he killed her to get posses
sion of it The youthful murderer show
ed no signs of remorse for the bloody
deed he had perpetrated, and gave no
indications of fear of punishment for it
The jury returned a verdict in accor
dance with the facta above detailed, but
in consideration of the tioy's extreme
youth, and also of his imbecility, he
was ordered to be discharged.
The Dry Goods Businesk.
The New York IMlctin , in its review
of the dry goods market, says the
movement in all descriptions is qniet ;
also that the commission houses dealing
in domestic cottons are unusually dun,
and there ia a manifest determination
on the part of jobbers to purchase only
from hand to month. The agents for
woolen manufacturers look upon the
season for light weight goods tis Ixjing
over, and their energies are now lient
npou the distribution of fall styles of
eassimeres and coatings to the clothing
trade, and their efforts in this direction
are meeting with a fair measure of suc
cess. As to foreign goods the llulletin
savs:
'There has been a noticeable improve
ment in the city retail trade within tho
last few days, and if the present flne
weather should continue an improved
inquiry for certain fabrics which have
been sluggish hitherto is almost certain.
No branch of the trade has suffered
more from the backwardness of the sea
son than white goods, and the opera
tions of the city retailers in these fab
rics have been light up to this time;
bnt there ia already an improved feel
ing and freer distribution of Victoria
lawns, organdies and other muslins, as
well as embroideries.
Advantages of Small llorses.
Tlie Southern Farmer says : " The
argument* reay all be in favor of great
sixo, tint the facta are all the other war.
Large horoea are more liable to atnmble
and be lame than thoau of the middle
sixe. They are clumsy, and cannot fill
themaelvca ao quick. There in nothing
more anrpriningto Western men than to
viait Montreal and aea the amall bat
stout Canadian horaea hauling large
two-seated carriages, full of people, with
apparent eaae. A horse weighing 900
pounds in Maine takes a chaise or Con
cord wagon, with two men in it, and
mokcß fifty or sixty miles a day over
hills that might have terrified Hannibal.
But their weight is where it ought to
be. It is compact, and not lying around
loose. It is muscle, not pulp, that we
want in a horse."
•SSOBERM BORE. —One of the most
hnmoristie papers of Paris relates the
following: " Monsieur X was com
fortably sleeping and snoring in an
orchestra stall at a theatre, which it is
needless to name. The occupant of
the adjoining seat, losing all patience,
proceeded to awaken him. 'Sineewhen,'
asked X , rubbing his eyes, 'is it
forbidden to sleep at M 's pieces ?'
'But you make too much noise.' 'I
prevent vou, perhaps, from hearing
the play ? 'On the oontrary, you hin
der me from sleeping, and force me to
hear it; that ia what I complain of.'"

The Average I'lrkjHx krt.
It ut generally presumed by a majori
ty of oar citUKMtt, that piok|K>ck<-U JM>-
es* some itidiscnbable peculiarity, in
their personal uppearance, by which
they can readily l>c distinguished from
honest folks. Many people entertain
the idea that this kind of thieves must
necessarily hare a low forehead, a wil
lanotia couutenance, ami wear a large
cloak to conceal false-hands, ami a kit
of pickpockets'instruments. This mis
taken supposition accounts, in a large
measure, for the ease with which so
many robberies are committed. In
many cases the caution of the victims
assist* the operation of the thieves.
While the over-cautious are engaged in
casting ausnioiou* glances arouml, with
the intention of avoiding some one who
corresponds with their mental picture
of s rascal, some genteelly np|xariug
personage, whom tliey do not lor a mo
ment suspect, relieves them of their
valuables. The appearance of a taste
fully attired ladv, with the modest
countenance auJ delicately formed
1 lands, who apologize* ao gz woefully fur
her rudeness and haste in leavings car,
does not suggest the fact that she hss
just picked s pocket. The plain,
lioueat-looking ohi gentleman, who wears
an expression as benignant as Ueecher'a
and assists an old lady arrows the atreet
with a solicitude that excites sdnura
tion, does not conform with the general
impression of English Hill, the notori
ous English pickpocket. There are
some suspicious looking fares among
.these people, just as there are among
lawyers, doctors, merchants, or any
other class of the community, but they
will compare favorable m js-raonal ap
pearance with any bony of honest citi
zens, phrenologists to the contrary not
withstanding.

and enabled to do work for son)®. by the
atmosphere which thi® woman created;
every inmate of her house involuntarily
looked into her face for the key-note of
the day; and it was always raug clear.
From the rose bud or clover leaf which,
in spite of her hard housework, she al
ways found time to put by our plates at
breakfast, dawn to 4be essay or story
she ha® on hand to lie read or discussed
in the evening, there was no intermis

tact had Wen added the appliance of
wealth and the enlargement® of wider

The Weddlnir Fiuger.
Much lias bare said and written about
the wedding ring, but the more lately
part engaged in the mystic mutter, the
taper residence of this ornament, has
been neglected. Now this is rather
curious, as there are facts which Wloug
to the ring finger which render it in a
peculiar manner an appropriate emblem
of matrimonial union. It is the only
finger where two principal nerves be
long to two distinct trunks; the thumb
i® supplied with its prinaipal nerve®
from the rndinl nerve, as is also the fore
Auger, the middle finger, aud the thumb
side of the ridg ting'*, while tbo ulnar
nerve furnfcthee the little fbig'r and tlie
other sideof tfcu ring limptf, at tlir jobit
or extremity of which a real union takes
Since. It sec in® a® if it wure intended
y nature to be the matrimonial finger.
"Hiat the side of the ring finger next
the little finger is supplied by the ulnar
nerve, is frequently proved by n com
mon accident, that of striking the elbow
against the edge of a chair, a door, or
any narrow, hard snbsfoucc ; the ulnar
nerve is then frequently strnck, and a
thrilling sensation is felt In the little
finger, and on the same side of the ring
finger, but not on the other side of it.
Adulteration of Hrccn Tea.
Dr. Letheliy, of London, the well
known salutary statist, hue just rqnoried
as to the adufteratioQ of green tea in
that city. Ho discovered, it appears,
that some ten on sale in Mincing lane
required looking after, and he succeed
ed in getting authentic samples from
the bonded warehouses in which the ar
ticle was stored. On examination it was
found that thin so-called tea contained
from forty to forty-throe per cent, of
iron fillings and nineteen per cent, of
silica, in tne form of fine sand, which
hail been cleverly mixed with and added
to the leaves before curling, with a view
to increase their weight and bulk. Af
ter the leaves were curled they had been
thickly covered with green pigment.
When it was infused in boiling water it
produced a very turbid solution, offen
sive to the smell and nauseous to the
taste.

The Ureat luwa Tornado.
Thr Physical Saperta.
It ia now possible, says SJI lowa cor
res|Hiiuleut, to give something like s
eonuivted snd consistent atvi-uut of the
tornado which wrought so lunch de
atruction of life and proiierty iu thia
iMiunlv. It was not so at first, when
evoryfiody who had atiffered ftoiu it was
at Ills wita' end a* to what ha nhould do
next, and iu a very unfit state to give
uu account of what he bail neeti and
done during (he disaster. The wit
nesses generally say that for some tune
before the atorm burst tt]Kin them they
heard a loud noise, which they describe
*t* being like that of distant thunder,
the rumbling of a train of cars, can
nonading. aud the like. The sky w*
clear or clearing (for rain had falleti in
the inortiiug), and the people were sur
prised when, shortly alter hearing Urn
roar of the wind, they saw hail descend
ing in sheet* and each drop of enor
mous cirrninference -as much a* five
illchc* in some eases. As to the tor
nado itself, some desert tie a huge black
cloud sliajied like a balloon and gyra
ting rapidly, which came down from It*)
or 200 feet in the air where it was first
seen, and a* it went along, demolished
or absorbed all in its path. Others saw
two cloud* and others three, which
seemed to be playing and tumbling
about each other till they coalesced like
drops of mercury merging into each
other mid went on iu their path of de
•druction ; but all agree in the balloon
form, with its point. J peak toward the
earth. Claps of thunder came front it
frequently, but there seems to have
been very little lightning. It* rate of
speed in going from llaysville to the
lowa river was about twenty-seven
miles on hour; tlit-re are no means of
meusttriug the velocity of it* gyration,
but it must have been enormous, us
from aide to side iu its path huge tim
ber* which had been sucked Up were
driven deep iuto the ground. Mr. Mar
burg was standing within a short dis
tance of it when it pas in 1, but did not
at first feel any violent wind. It was
hurry ing towards the school-house
where hi* children were, and he rau af
ter it. Then he got within its draught,
and was hurried sloug so that in his
running he sometimes went eight feet
at a leap. At tunes it would bound
from the ground and go up for 2U) feet,
and again descend within a quarter ut a
mile from where it started. Houetimca
it returned upon its path, and at othera
separated Into two or three parts, one
of which would go in one direction and
another iu another, hut again all would
oomt together. In hue it was intensely
black, and when it descended upon an
object completely hid it from sight. Ho
far as 1 can learn the domestic animals
showed no symptoms of fright (as in
such instances they are commouly re
ported to do) at the approach of the
storm, except those which may readily
tie accounted for by the great noise
and the descent of the unusual hail and
rain.

Curious Ciitont In the East.
Ir. Anderson, who accompanied the
exjicdition sent out by the Britiali Gov
ernment in DVft to asccitaiu how far it
WOK possible to open the great highway
to ('fiinn. by the V'olley of the Tapeng,
to British commerce, makes the follow
ing interesting stalemcnta, which we
extract from a review by John Evans :
The practice of home-worship in con
nection with the Buddhism of the Ban
da Vallev nisv, however, be notiaed, as
well ss the Hhan method of concealment
of gold and precious stones, by burring
them benefit h the skin of their ebest
and necks, by making slits, through
which the coins or stones are forced,
and which sulmcqnently lieal np. When
the valnable object is wanted a second
cut is made upou the spot, and it is cx
tmetcd. In some instances as mauy -a*
fifteen stones or coins were found to be
hidden beneath the skin of men j'tist ar
rived with a caravan at Mondalay.
Their roethotl of producing fire is
verv remarkable, and ia effected by tlie
sutfden aud forcible descent of a piston
in a closetl cylinder. There is a small
cnp-shapctl cavity at th* end of the pis
ton-rod, into which a little tiuder is in
serted. Tlie apparatus is identical in
priuciplo with one now employed in the
lecture-moms of our colleges.
Both bninr.e snd stone celts are wry
common. They arc thought to be
thunderliolta which have iH'netratedtlie
earth and afterwards worked their wny
t*i the surface. The belief in the celes
tial origin and healing powers of these
implements is as common in Asia as in
Europe. They are worn as charms, and
carefully kept in small bogs; when
dipped "in water tlioy are supposed to
impnrt curative properties to it, and is
is administered as a medicine which it
supposed to possess great value, especi
ally in difficult lid>ar ca*en.
Postal Card*.
Tbe French have many a joke At their
postal card system that is lost here.
Kvou Punch immortalised that
lima who delayed liia board bill several
months by droppinghimself notes at hia
hoarding BOOM from hia friend Prince
Albert, which the landlady religiously
read. Here is n joke from Paris on that
I Cerberus, the concierge. Mr. Proud
immnii' enters his house, nnd asks the
j concierge, "Any letters?" "Oh, yes,
Mensiear." answers the concierge eon
tomtuonsly, handing him two jiostal
cards, 44 but they are not very interest
ing." Another A gallant enters. A
concierge hands him a card on which is
written, in a feminine hand, 44 1 will
wait for you at eight o'clock at the
opera." Tlio ooneicrgo gravely remarks,
44 Yoa have but little time." It reminds
one of that old joke of Swift's. He sent
a letter by an inquisitive servant, nnd
wrote as n postscript:— 44 N. 11. You
may send s verbal answer by the bearer,
as ho is a careful man, nnd will he sure
to road this letter before he delivers it,"
It would have been a study to have seen
that man's face when he catno to those
lines.

Minis Held Tracy Walworth, the nov
elist aud aou of the late Chancellor Wal
worth, of Now York Htate, waa dulilter
ately shot by bia son, Frank H. Wal
worth, nineteen yeurs of age, iu ritout
No. 2fi7 of the Hturtevant House, New
York eity. The incentive to the crime
was a desire on the part of the son to
avenge real or fancied wrong* done hi*
mother. Mr. and Mrs. Walworth origi
nally lived iu New York, but their uo
mint tie life waa marred by continual dif
ference* till throe yearn ago, when a
separation beenme m-eeaaary, aud Mr*.
Walworth went to Haratoga with her
children, leaving her huabaud in New
York, and was divorced a year after.
Mr. Walworth was an impetuous, violent
man.
Hi* wife inouml by legal proceeding*
a comfortable income, but Mr. Wal
worth aeeiucd to have reaolved not to
let her live in |Mutco, and alternated en
treaties for a reconciliation with out
burst* of passion and recrimination*.
Thing* grew from bud to worse, aud
the husband was in the habit when he
met In* wife of ojienly insulting her
ami impugning her gmtd name. He
also wrote Ut her letter* of the moat
cruel description, upbraiding her in the
coarsest terms and threuU-uing her in
various way*. In several of the letter*
he in tide use of uxiireuion* that convoy
ed the ides that ne contemplated vio
lence toward* her, aud on one •cession
when tln-v met he threatened her life.
Frank Walworth, the son, left Harato
ga, Haying he was going Ut New York
to arrange family tuatU-r*, arrived in the
afteruiton, and weut Ut tue Hturtevant
House. Before engaging a room he
sat down in the parlor and penned the
following note to his father, who board
ed on Fourth aveuue.
"I want to try to settle some family
matters. Call at the Htnrtevmnt House
afU*r au honr or two. If lam not there
I will leave word at the ofliea."
F. 11. WALWOBTH.
The father went to the hotel and was
showu to Lia son's room. Frank, ac
cording to hia own admissions, offered
his father the chair, and allowing him
to pass him to take it, walked to the
dour as if to sit on the Itcd, and, placing
hi* back against the door, drew a flvc
barrelrd Colt'* revolver carrying a very
heavy ball, and leveling it at hia father,
called on him U* solemuly promise never
more U> moleat or tlireaten him or his
mother. The father made the pledge,
and the son, apparently satiaAed, lowered
his pistol, aud, leaning against the head
of the bed, began to talk of the old
troubles.
The conversation waa not angry at the
Ar#t, but gradually a quarrel arose, and
ere long word* that could not be recall
ed were uttered aud repeated. The fa
ther rose in hia anger and the son stood
on hia guard, and as Mr. Walworth put
Ins hand in his pocket hia son, accepting
the action as au indication that a weapon
was about to be drawn, fired. Mr. Wal
worth advanced on hia son, who fired
two shot* during the attempt to reach
him. Finally, when Ids father aeiacd
him with the desperation of a dying
man, a fourth shot sent a bullet crush
ing inUi hia right temple and be fell
lifeless on the floor. Frank seised his
coat and list and walked ont into the
corridor, where he met a number of do
mestics aud Dome guest*, none of whom
attempted to stop him. lie walked
down stairs, and in passing the office a
clerk coolly sent out a bell-boy to look
for a policeman. The murderer noticed
no one, walked out on Broadway, and
entering a telegraph office dispatched a
message to hia undo announcing what
he had done.
Walking ont again he aocosted a
toll reman, who informed him of the
oration of the Twentv-ninth Precinct
Station-house, whither "he repaired, and
walking up to the front of the desk in
formed Sergeant M tiller that he had joat
shot hia father, and had come to give
himself up, at the same time handing
over his revolver. The sergmnt could
hardly determine whether he was sane
or crazy, and asked him what had in
duced him to commit the crime. Frank
coolly replied, " Family troubles," and
leaning np against the railing answered
the usual questions nonchalantly, and
was taken down stairs and locked np.
('aptain Burden waa about starting for
the Hturtevant House, when a clerk ar
rived and corroborated the prisoner'*
statement. Mr. Walworth was found
{wrfectlv dead, and a physician having
eertifleif to that effect, an undertaker's
wagon took away the body.
Aetlon Respecting Forests.
A very important bill waa introduced
into the last C. S. Congress by Air.
Haldcman, of Pennsylvania, and has
now lieeotne a law. It provides that
evcrv future sale of government land
shall be with the condition that at least
ten per cent of the timbered land shall
l>e kept perpetually a* woodland ; and
if the land be not timbered, then the
patent is to be issued on the condition
that ten per cent, of the qnantitv to
lie planted with forest trees within ten
rearm, and kept forever a* woodlaud.
If this tie done, an abatement of fifty
per cent, ia to be made on aoeonnt of
the expense of the planting. A viola
tion of thia agreement ia to be met by
the forfeitnre of the land. It is also
proposed that any one who may wish
to acquire title to the public land, nnder
the homestead act, can do so by proof
of the fact that he baa had, at the end
of three year* after taking possession, at
least one sere under cultivation with
timber for two years, and that this shall
be continued nutil one acre in every ten
is planted with trees, in dusters not
more than sixteen feet apart.
