For I molasses-cured hams, alio sars: Moisten every part of the ham vritn molasses, ; and then for every hundred pounds nee one quart of fine salt and four enure* of saltpetre, rubbing Uiem in xpry thor oughly in every point. Then put the haras thus prepared in a tight cask for four days. Then rub again with mo leases and one quart of salt, and return the haras to the cask for four days. Re peat this the third and the fourth time, and then smoke the haras. This pro- j ceas takes only sixteen days, while oth er method* require fire or six weeks. The best recipe for brine or pie.kle for corning hams, beef, pork, and hung beet, is as follows: Four gallons of water ; two nounds of nvk-salt, and a little more of anyotherkind ; two ounces of saltpetre; one quart of molasses. Mix, but do not boil. Put the hams in a barrel and pour this over them, and keep them covered with it for six weeks. If more brine is needed, make it in the same proportions. For amokiug hams, she gives the fob lowiug directions: Makes small build ing of boards, nailing strips over the cracks hi confine the smoke. Have within cross sticks on which to hang the hams. Have only one opening at top, and one in the middle of the door. Set it up so high that a small stove can be set under it, with the auioke-pipe enter ing the door. Change the position of the hams once or twice, that all are treated alike. When this cannot be done, use an inverted barrel or hogs head, with a hole in the Kit torn for the etnoke to escape, and resting on stones, and keep a small smouldering fire. Cobs are best, as giving a better flavor, and brards or chips of walnut wood are next beat. Keening a small fire a longer time is better than quicker smoking, as too much heat gives the haras a strong taste, and they are less sweet. l abium* KKOHIM. A California writer drives cabbage lice by annotating the outside leaves with water and kerosene, mixed in the proportion of a pint of water to two tahlespooufuls of oil. A gardener in Kentucky effects the same result by opening the leaves carefully with the fingers and giving them a sprinkle of common salt. Au extra at!vantage in this treatment is that thru used the heads grow larger and more solid. The Anw HorticoU states that the cabbage caterpillar, the larva of Pirri* RCIJMI, may be dispersed by placing the leaves of the common brake i Fieri. aquiUua) among the plants. The loaves of elder and hemp have also been used abroad for the same purpose. We have fre quently advised the application to each infested head of a small quantity of a mixture composed of 1 part carbolic powder, 3 parts fresh air-slaked lime, and 20 parts superphosphate of lime— repeating three or four times during the season, or as often as necessary. When many other "remedies" failed klr. Quinn used this witn such success that he lost onlv about 5 per cent of his large crop at the time when the cabbage worm was thickest in the neighborhood of his mar ket garden. Tvstlag a Plowshare. There are three ways of picking a good share. First, by sight ; second by feel; and third, by sound. Have you JDt a good share now ? If so, mark it, reak it when you are done with it, anil note its oolor; or suspend it and strike ! it with a hammer, noting its sound, snd select yonr next one accordingly. In a hard share the iron ia much whiter than in a soft one. This is a rule—the whiter the iron is the harder the share, and rice rersa. Again, the ringing sound of shares when snpended and struck, varies over several full musical notes. So, if you know anything of music yon can select your share by your tuning-fork. This gives us another rule, rix: the sharper the ring the hard er the metal, and rice vrrsa. Another unfailing method is by the feel—select the thickest part of the share, and run your finger over the surface of the im- E '.ement at that place. If the metal is ard you will perceive an evident lack or hollow over the thick part; if not hard, this hollow will not be observed. In selecting s share by sound, the ring should correspond with that of a steel saw blade.— Canada Farmer. How Thej Fish In Palermo. Fishing is sn important industry in Palermo. Some five thousand of the inhabitants are engaged in it, and they are formed, it is said, into a regular ; corporation, having, besides, officers, surgeons and chaplains and a semi military government. The principal fish caught is the tunny, much relished by the Palermitans, as it was by their ancestors the old Romans, Greeks, and Carthaginians. Very large, weighing a thousand pounds frequently, it is sold after being cut into steaks. It is the cat-fish of the Mediterranean, and its exposure in slices and itc eager pur chase remind one of similar scenes in the towns along the Mississippi. The tunny is gregarious—enters the Med:- terranean in shoals early in the rear, and is cangbt in quantities in large nets, in- nearly the same manner as by the ancients, daring May, June, and July. The Sicilians are reputed to be fond of nova'.ty. Their fondness may arise from their slight acquaintance with it, like the hermit who loved all women because he had never known any. Their mode of taking tunny is an example. They have acquired no new ideas respecting it in two thousand years. The nets, divided into four communi cating square spaces called rooms, are moved east and west about a mile from the shore, each of the spaces at right angles, fastened at the bottom with stones, and floated at the upper edge by logs of cork or other light wood. A single net of very wide meshea fastens the whole to the shore. This arrests the fish, drives them into the outer room (bordonaro), which is raised a trifle and closed by the boatman keep ing watch. Frightened, the tnnny, in trying to escape, enter the next room (bastardo), whence, finding no freedom, they dash into the other chambers. In the last (eorpo) they stay until it is full —two or three days sometimes—when the net is weighed.and they aredextrous ly dispatched with hooks and harpoons by the fishermen, who go ont in flat bottomed boats for that purpose. Commodore Yuuderbilt's Last More. The Albany Knick nays that Yander bilt has made a proposition to Captain J. J. Austin, tho well known owner of the Austin towing line, for a purchase of that immense institution, which, in itself, is a nice littl 3 fortune to any man. The property of the line is to-day val ued at 4700,000. It consists of nine Ejwerful steamers, fifteen staunch irges, and the real eßtate owned and occupied by the line on the pier. His object is to form a complete line, by railroad and boat, from Buffalo to New York for the shipment of freight, which the increased facilities of the Central road must necessarily create. Vander bilt is to bnild an immense qua at the Albany basin, and run his cars directly to the boats, to assist in unloading the freight barges. This will materially injure the freight business of the Albany and New York boats. Vanderbilt is also to build two New York passenger boats. These will cost $500,000 each, and will be arranged for the accommo dation of the public from stem to stern, upon which not a ponnd of freight will be carried. Their comfort and conveni ence will eclipse anything ever put afioat on any waters.

Your horse is estive and wants to be off before you are ready ; you may na well break bun of this now as al any other tune, and hereafter van trill Hud it has been a ' half hour well spent. Just givo me the reins, while you put your fH>t on the step, as if to get in ; the horse makes a move to go ; I tight en the reins and say 'whoa. Now put yonr foot ou the step again : the horse makes another mow ; 1 hold the reins and speak to him again. The horse is getting excited. Pat hint a little on the neck, and talk to hiut soothingly. Put your foot on the step again, and re peat' this process until the horse will stand still for yon to get in, and adjust yourself in your seat, and tell luui to go. A few such lessons will train him so that he will always wait for your or der before starting. Now as your horse has just been fed, drive luui at a very gentle pace for the first two or three miles, until lis warms tip snd his body becomes lighter. Rut, before you start, let me show you how to hold*the reius. Take them iu your left baud, have them of equal length from the bit, aud to crosa each other tti your hand, the off side one restiug ou your first finger, the other on the fourth "finger, the Iwck of the hand upward. Sow in guiding the horse, vou have only to nse the wrist joint, w inch will direct him either right or left, sa you wish. Keep your hand steady with a gentle pressure ou the bit—no jerking or switching on the reins. If more speed ia wanted, take the whip in your right hand, to be gently used for that purpose, be careful uot to apply it any harder than is necessary to bring him up to the required speed. Speak to him soothingly, and iutimate in the most gentle maimer, what you want him to do, and he will try to do it. So noble an animal ahould uot Ive handled rough ly, nor over-driven. When yon return, have the harueas removed at once, and the horse rubbed down with a wisp of straw or hay, and let him cool off before beiug watered or fed. Everv oue who handles a horse, or has anything to do with one, ahould, in the first place, cul tivate his acquaintance ; let him know that you are hia friend, and prove it to him by your kind treatment; he needs this to inspire confidence, and when that is gained, he is your humble ser vant. If your horse gets frightened at any nnusnal sight or noise, do not whip him, for if yon do, lie will connect the whipping with the object that alarmed him, and be afraid of it ever after. If he merely allies at an object", give him time to t-xaiuiue it, which, with some encouraging words 'rout the driver will persuade him to pass it. You get j frightened, too, sometimes, and would not like to get whipped for it.— Stock Journal. A Strange Story. The Cincinnati Fnouirer tells a strange story of the suddea death of a wealthy citizen, his lunacy, marriage, and strange ending. It savs that Mr. Henry StraaWrg. a merchant, called on Coroner Maley and demanded to have an inquest on the bodv of Max M. Peyser, a merchant on fourth street, who died under what is considered sus picions circumstances. Mr. Peyser had married the day before his death, aud j was sitting, on the morning of his death, at the breakfast table. He then complained of pain, stood up, went in to an adjoiuiug room and fell dead. Dr. Baitholow was called in. and he, together with a student of the Good Samaritan Hospital, cnt open Peyser's body, and prepared to hold a post-nu>r temexamiuation. Upon what authority he did this is not stated. The Coroner immediately took the matter in charge aud took the contents of the stomach into his possession for analysis. Dr. Bartholow gave the cause of Peyser's death as consumption. The history of the case is a strange one. Peyser had been a successful merchant on Fourth street np to abont seven months ago, when he became crazy. On a writ from j the Probate Court Ve was sent to the Longview Asylum, and Mr. N. was appointed administrator of his es tate, which was valued at $50,000. At Longview lie seemed to grow better, and abont six weeks ago he was let ont. when he resumed charge of his affairs. On Thursday last he married Miss Dora M. Hamann, a lady of about thirty-five, (Peyser was about fifty,) who for ten years had managed the business of his store on Fourth street, and for whom he had always shown great affection. The license for the marriage was got from the Probate Court. Miss Hamann and her mother had been living at No. 16 Dayton street, and it was here that Mr. Peyser was married. The morning following his marriage he dropped dead s few minutes after breakfast, as above stated. Miss Hamann is a Christ&in, while Mr. Peyser was a Hebrew, and the marriage natnrally caused much talk among those acquainted with tin parties ; not only becanse of the diff erence of religion, bnt because of the respective ages of the pair, and the social relations. The man's craziness, his wealth, his strange marriage, and sudden death, altogether make a story that is being widely disenssed, aud it excites great oomment and conjecture. A Verdlet of Murder in the Second Derree. In the Walworth case the Judge de livered an exhaustive charge, and the case was given to the jury. The audi ence, in spite of the intense heat, was very large. The prisoner sat, as usual, by hia mother, bia brother and sister, his nncle, the Rev. Clarence Walworth, and a number of his relatives aud friends of the family. District-Attor ney Phelps began his argument for the prosecution immediately after the court convened, at 10 A. u., and its delivery occupied two hours and a half. After a short recess Judge Davis began his charge, which occupied 3f hours. He called attention to the fact that this was the first trial under the new law, alter ing in many respects the definition of murder, he gave the definitions of murder in the various degrees under the new law, and stated wherein they differed from the former law on the subject. The evidence on both aides was then reviewed. On the question of insanity he fore bore to express an opinion, but read a reoent decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of the People ogt. Willis. The case was then given to the jury, who retired at 4:32 p. 11. The immense throng waited patiently in the court-room, although the heat was almost stifling, hour after hour while the jury was absent de liberating on their verdict. At 7 the jury had decided upon a verdict, and the Judge was Bent for. The prisoner and his friends entered the court-room and took tlieir accus tomed seats ; and in a few moments the jury were conducted to their box. The verdict of guilty of mnrder in the second degree was promptly rendered. The prisoner seemed nervous while awaiting sentence,but otherwise evinced no emotion. Mr. O'Conor gave notice that he should file a bill of exceptions. A Floating Cannon Ball. In the pavilion of the Ministry of Agricultnre, at Vienna, a floating cannon ball may be seen. Although weighing fifty pounds, it lies like a down feather on a silvery mass, consisting of pure quicksilver from the celebrated mines of Idria ; 150 cwt. of this metal is ex hibited in a large iron cauldron, offering a sight seldom to be met with, and on it rests the solid iron ball. It was inter esting to observe the emptying of the quicksilver into its receptacle. The metal is very cleverly stowed away in ■bags of white sheep leather, specially prepared for the purpose, each contain ing fifty pounds of the mass, the bags Vieing tightly bound round the top, and then put into small wooden barrels, carefully bunged up. Formerly, this liquid metal, whioh penetrates easily all porous substances, was transmitted in wrought iron bottles of very expensive make.

Clara Leslie had just turned dowu the uarrow, chestnut shaded path that led along the river-side to the qmet old farm-house, where she waa spending these sultry summer days—a slight, violet-eyed* young girl, with heavy masses of gold brow u hair, cheeks rather pale, and a dress of simple French calico, made aud trimmed by her own bauds. Eudocia Martin looked almost con temptuously after her, as she bl.kkl at the bend of* the road, leuutug lightly ou Mr. Wvforil's arm. Miss Martin was tall and fluely form ed, with a bright culur, sparkling black eyes, and a war of throwing her head back aa she walked. Moreover, her at tire was of dainty checked silk, and she wore gold ornaments m her cars and ut her throat. The two girls were of as differeut types of beauty as could easily be conceived. *' Isn't it strange," said Eudoeia care lessly, "that lli.ts Leslie prefers that horrid, stuffy little farm-house to the hotel, where everybody else that is worth knowing stays ?" " Perhaps," began Mr. Wyford quiet ly, " Misa Leslie's taste—" " Oh, it isn't that," iuterposed Eudo eia, somewhat sharjdy. " It's froih a motive of economy." " Do yoa think so?" "I am quite sure of it. Don't yon observe how shabbily she dresses— calico dresses, linen sets, and not a jewel about her but that plain little gold brooch that looks as if it might have come down from the ark." "She looks very ueat always, I am sure." "Just like a man's verdict." laughed Miss Eudoeia. " But is it really true that she writes for the papers ?" "I believe so," answered Mr. Wyford, as he walked slowly along toward the Heathdale Hotel with his companion. " But I thought people that wrote for the papers were always so smart and brilliant, and Clara is so plain and quiet." "I don't altogether agree with either of your inferences, Miss Martin." " What does she write ?" asked Eudo eia, somewhat sharply. " Have you never read those exquisite little sketches uuder the signature of ' Clarice' in the -Wic York durst t" "Oh, those insignificant little affairs? Yes, of course I have ! You don't mean to say that the editors pay her for that silly, sentimental trash ?" " I believe they do." Mis Martin was silent for a moment or two. Devoted as she was to dress, show, aud a thousand other minor ex travagances, money was a considerable object in her eyes, and she almost en vied any woman who had the faculty of earning it, as it were, for herself. " Mr. Wyford," said she, with a little langh that was meant to be very capti vating, "without being conceited I do believe that I conld write a great deal better than that' Clarice' nonsence. It's so simple—just like one person talking to another— no fine words or elevated phrases." " I am told that ia conaidered the chief charm of her pen," observed Mr. Wyford, slightly elevating his eyebrows in the dusk. " I dare 6ay it does very well, when they can't get auything better," said Euaocia, tossiag her heu<l supercilious ly. " Now I'vegot the plot of a charm ing Moorish story in my head, with old castles Like the AllmmLira la it, aud a band of robbers, and a magician in a black velvet robe, aud— But just wait until I write it out, and I will read it to you. Don't you think the -Veie York Ouent would be delighted to pub lish it r " Really," aaid Mr. Wyford, du biously, '* I hardly know. I believe the quiet impersonations of every day life—" " Pshaw !" said Miss Martin, confi dently. "Who cares about every-day life when they can read of princes and robbers and bandita' caves ? I think I shall call it ' The Scourge of the Moors.' Or would ' Black Alfonso, or the llu rien's Doom," be better? Oh, hero we are at the hotel, and I must run aud get ready for tea." She was thinking, however, of "Black Alfonso" all the time she was brushing out her black cnrls. " I am sure I could write a great deal better than Clara Leslie," alio told herself over and over again. "Haven't I traveled all over the United States, and visited Montreal aud Quebec into the bargain ; and didn't I always write poetical compositions at school that were read out every Friday afternoon ? What has Clara Leslie ever seen of the world, I should like to know? Why, they tell me she's only a district-school teacher in New York, and I don't sup poae she ever had a silk dress, or went to a party in her life." As Euaocia Martin went down atnira to tea, turning over theao various medi tations in her mind, she met Mrs. Elliott, the judge's wife, the greatest iiuiy in all the hotel limita, bustling down in her silver-gray silk, with the old-fashioned pearls in her ears. " Why, Mrs. Elliott, what's the mat ter ?" cried Eudocia, as by the glimmer of the hall light she detected the traces of tears on the liuly'a cheek. " You have been erying !" Mrs. Elliott laughed. " And I am not ashsmed to confess it either," she said. "I have been cry ing, Miss Martin, and I don't know who could help it when they read 'Clarice's' beautiful sketch this week in the Guest, about little Willie's death, llave you seen the Guest t" "No, ma'am," said Miss Martin, arching her upper lip with rather a contemptuous curl. "No? Well, I'll send it into your room to-night." And kindly Mis. Elliott passed on. Eudocia did not divulge to Mrs. Elliott that she had learned the secret of "Clarice's* identity with simple little Clara Leslie, who boarded at the farm house and wore plan calico dresses: but she was more than ever confirmed in her determination to enter the lists of authorship, and eclipse Miss Leslie's light at once. She sat np late that night drafting out a rongh sketch of the Moorish story, and all the next day she shut herself up in her own room, writing. She culled out the most resonant words in the die tionary—she carefully sought all man ner of synonyms—she sprinkled the tale with Spanish phrases picked out of the "Book of Quotations," to give a general idea tlint she wa* familiar with the Spanish language ; and mad* it musical ith th play of fountain* in pared court#, odorous with the heavy scent of orange groves, and luminous with iur ■liming out of purple uiiil niglit heavens. "Then.," said Mm Eudoeia to her nolf, when she had read it over for the third lime, equally well pleased with each peruunl, "if that don't cut out 't'Urice,' there's no toate left in the literary world. Of course they will wish to etigitge me to write regulurlv for them, and they must pay me well. How nice it will he to have lota of money of my own, without lieing compelled to ooax papa, as if every dollar were a drop of blood out of a atone, 1 wonder what Clara Leslie doe* with all the money ■he must earn. 1 know I wouldn't wenr common calicoea and board at a farm house, if I had apieceiu the Arte I'orA durst every week." " 1 am ao aorry von were gone away veatonlay, Mr. Wyford," aaid Miaa Eudoeia, aa ahe met him at the break - faat table one morning. " Imbed ? lam much obliged toyou for lieiug ao kiud as U> uuaa me, but 1 can lmnily comprehend why," aanl the gentleman. " I wauted to read von mv atory. I sent it to The duett by last evening's mail." " I have no doubt it would have been a literary treat," Mid Mr. Wyford, courteously. " Oh, I'm not st all sure of that," said Miss Martin, tossing her head in all the conscious pride of authorship ; "but I should really like to have had your critical opinion of it. I suppose you read a great deal F " A little." " Though, of course, my own reading has been extensive, and if 1 couldn't write better than that chit of a Clara Leslie, I uotiiti give up. I'll semi you a copy of the durst containing my story, it you would like to see it in print." " Thank you," said Mr. WyforJ, with rather a queer look on his taoe, which was half a smile and half a frown, " you are very kind." Miss Martin whispered her secret, " confidential!v, of course,'' to every geutlemau st the Heatlulale House, slid two-thirds of the ladies, and already lie gsn to feel the laurels of success encir cling her brow. Hut on the eighth day thereafter a huge envelope was handed her by Sam, who always went for the mails. Eudoeia flushed up to her forehead. Could it be possible that the missive was distended with bank bills? Did Jhe duett pay as liberally as all that ? The matter was s]>cedily decided, however. She tore off the envelope, amid a circle of admiring aud expectant friends, aud out dropped " Black Al fonso " with a strip of paper belted round him, containing the simple words: " Respectfully Declined." If Eudoeia Martin did not go into hysterics, it was only because she was uot coUHti'utioiially inclined to that es cape-valve for her feelt.vgs. " Black Alfouso " declined! "Black Alfonso" a drug iu the literary market! " Black Alfonso" unappreciated by public taste! Eudoeia swept out of the room, bitiug her lip till you would have thought the teeth would have met through the quivering flesh. She was unwoatedly silent when she came down to tea that night. Mortified pride is by no means a quickener to the tongue, and Miss Martin woutd have given the prettiest dress in her ward robe if only she had had the sense to keep her own Counsel respecting "Black Alfonso." "Eudoeia," whispered Mrs. Elliott to her, "I've a bit of news for you—three bits of news, in fact." "Ah!" said Eudoeia, trying to look interested, "what are they ?" "In the first place, I have discovered that the 'Clarice' who has taken all our hearts by storm, through the witchery of her pen, is no other than Clare Leslie, and that Mr. Wyford is one of the edi tor* of the AVCIC York duett." Eudocis colored scarlet,as she tbought of all the foolish things she had said, and Mrs. Elliott went exultingly on, quite unaware of the sting lingering within hr words. "And what do von think Mr. Living ston tells me ? They are to be married next month. Mr dear, you arc not ill ?" "No," said Eudoeia huskily; "I—l have only forgotten my pocket-hand kerchief." £nd Mi** Martin fled np stnirs after the bit of lineu cambric, that wiu safe iu her own pocket, coming down no more that night. She burned "Blark Alfonao," orange blossoms, moenlight, musical foiiutaiua, and all : and ahe newer wrote any more lucubration* for tho Neu> York Gucat. The New Tactics. A lecture waa recently ileliveretl be fore the United Service Institution, in London, bv Cupturn Brackenbury, of the Royal Artillery, in r ference to the new tactics which the modern breech loader ia forcing upon the various war departments of Europe. He said that thoae officers who had not had any ex perience in the field with these terrible weapons would do well to give the whole subject a thorough and profound study. To go to war armed witn breech loaders, proposing to meet an enemy armed with a weujion of the same or similar capabilities, and at the same time expect to manccuvre in the face of such an enemy with tho old system of tactics, would l>e nl>out aa wise aa to send a fleet of woodeu ships to encoun ter a fleet of iron-clads. The whole system of tactics must be really in verted, as it were. Skirmishers, instead of being the antenna, the mere feelers of an army, will be the army itaelf; and any reserve helit back to operate at a particular moment in line or coiumn, will merely come in 011 a rush to reap the fruits of success already won, nml will not lie itself any longer the means of winnifig the success. The notion that a line will advance over or through ita own skirmishers to attack the enemy beyond, ia, therefore, a theory which must bo entirely dismissed from the minds of campaign drill-masters. All recent experience shows that the wny to get a skirmishing line forward is not to keep it hanging under cover in hope* of relief, but to keep on throwing in judi cious reinforcements, HO that ita line may be constantly advancing, and, if possible, crushing back the opposing party. Whether it will be actually possible ever to strengthen tho lino of skirmishers into such cloae order os will make it approximate to the normal line of the present drill-books, ia doubtful, though, of course, compression in a very great degree will sometimes be forced upon n commander by the nature of tho country. This whole question of tho futuro of infantry opens up a most interesting and useful lino of speculation which, it ia to bo hoped, will finally erystalize in a new tactical system fully equal to tho demands of modern warfare. Night of Animals, Our domesticated animals pay dearly for their privilege*, it would neem, for dogs in a wild state preserve their vision nnimpitired to the extreme period of their life limitation, while domesticated dogs sec very imperfectly in the course of ten years, if tliey live so long. The reason seems to bo owing to looking at fires in the house, exposed to candle or gas lights, and being about dwellings where the sphere of vision is limited by the intervention of fences, edifices, etc. Horses and cattle, who pass their lives in ths outer air, have excellent eyesight, even to a very advanced age. Civiliza tion has its drawbacks. Were it not for white writing paper, artificial light, stimulating drinks which quicken the circulation to the engorgement of the minute vessels in the interior of the organs, and pas-ing much of our time in the midst of reflecting lights from surrounding objects, our eyes would be about as good at threescore and ten as in the early days of childhood.

Tear after year tha farmera in certain sections of the country Iteeone more clamorous in their coinplaiuU of injury done to their orojwx by loug-cuiiliuued droughts, and siiperrtitioua rural con gregations, perelating in attributing to n mysterious special providence the natural results of man's own mischiev ous action, periodically test the elllcacy of prayer to disstver effect from cause, and practically believe their avowed faith in the Almighty's wisdom by be seeching him to alter his aeemiug Inten tion, ntul reiuuutiug him that m their opinion it is time to send down, by some miraculous intervention, the rain which they have done and are doing their utmost to avert. The modern bucolic Tityrua, too active to recline under, the shade of patulous beeches, may have unbeliev ingly heard, in a general war, of some supposed relation between {ullage ami ruiufall ; it may evcu have happened to him to read iu his country uewspapei how ftdks say that iu foreign parts sandy deserts which were arid for ecu t uriei past have been visited by showers siuoe trees have been made to grow there. But ueither he nor even his better-informed urban cousin, perhaps, lias any distinct idea of how and why foliage influences climatic coudiliuiia. The action of dense masses of vegeta tion iu tempering ami retarding the rapidity of winds, and their mechanical service as screens against miasmatio emanations, may be readily understood, and such mechanical action alone may serve to explaiu why the absence or destruction of forests tends to reudcr tha winter season* more severe ami the summers hotter ami dryer; but they exercise more recondite and more po tent fuuctioiis than these as regards both comfort and health. In the first place, aa every educated reader knows, trees threugh their respiratory organs —their leaves—decompose the carbonic acid gas constantly exhaled from animal lungs, assimilating the carbon and re leasing the oxvgeu to resume its vivify ing purpose in the animal economy. Secondly, they favor the petietralion ami retciitiou of moisture iu the soil, their shade preventing too rapid evap oration by partially excluding to sun's rays. For this reason, whilst woodlands under civilized supervision are condu cive to health, wild forest growths where the oversaturatcd soil is cumbered with underbrush may give rise to malarial emanations, lint, beyond this, foliage, lias a more direct power of oondeusiug moisture from the atmosphere. The leuveaof an avcrsgeforeet tree eon join t -1 v present a surface of something more than half an acre, and the temperature of this great surface is kept below that of the surrouuding air, not only by the ooutiuual process of " vegetable evap oration," but by radiation of heat when the auu'a raya are withdrawn. Hence theatrataof air intruded between the leaves are cooled ao quickly aa to part with a portion of their moisture, juat as the outside of an iced-water pitcher receives a depoiait of dew from the surrounding atmosphere. The procees of distillation, while serving to aome extent to prevent ex tensive torrents of ram by keeping the atmosphere from becoming overloaded with vapor of water, also serves to main tain a coastant aud gentle supply to brooks and smaller water-courses, es peclally where forests exist tn elevated situations. It is not, therefore, by " attracting the clouds " that trees af fect the local conditions of moisture, but by their inore remote agency in sus taining the sources of water supply. The actual amount of rainfall is, of course, proportionate to the absolute quantity of water contained in the at mosphere, being, as a rule, greatest at the equator, and diminishing towards the poles; and Prof. Henry has suc ceeded iu tracing the origin and course of the different raiu-l>eariug currents which respectively supply various sec tions of the United States. But, apart from such general phenomena, there are local factors which exert an essen tial modifying power, and not th. least important of these is the growth of for est foilage, the destruction of which over large tracts of country is inevita bly followed by drought and sickness. To sum up : Trees purify the air of car bon with which our breathing vitiates it; they protect us from miasmatic poi son, not only by acting as screens, but by dissolving it in the water w Inch' they distil; they save ua from extreme* of temperature, and secure for us equable hygrometric conditions. And of all these advantage* we have for years past been trying hi deprive ourselves through our national mania for " clearing " wild lands, until now it is almost tyo late to repair the damage done. Slightly Mixed. Our neighbor Church was married four time*, and hia wive* were all buried in a certain graveyard. It be came necessary, ultimately, to remove the remains of the dear departed to another oenieterv. Church uudcrtook the work lumaelf; but in carrying the saioted dead ont iu a furniture cart, the bones unfortunately got mixed, and when re-interment Itegan even Church himself was unable to tell which w*s Emily and which was Hannah. After doing the best he could, ho had the four graves closed ; but, being a strictly accurate man, ho felt that it would In wrong to Use the old headstones when he was not by any mean* certain that Hannah's dust was all under her tomb stone. B<>, in order to be precise, he had a new set made with such inscrip tions as these: "Ilera lies Hannah Church, (and probably part of Emily,) who was born," .to., Ac. "Moored to the memory of Mary Church, (who seems to be mixed with Matilda,) who was born," Ac., Ac. 'Stranger, pause and drop a tear. For Emily C'harch lies 1-uned here. Mingled, in some perplexing manuer. With Mary, Manias, and probably Hannah All the wives seemed satisfied with this arrangement; but aome of Church's mothers-in-law consider that his sense of responsibility as a insu of veracity is altogether too fine. Tobacco. . The recently-published report of the State Chemist of Connecticut presents some interesting statements of the results of tests upon tobacco leaves. The Hartford Pott thus summarizes them: " The most highly-valued leaf in New England is the thin, tough, elastic leaf, which burns readily to ashes. Those leaves that contain tlio most carbonate of potash in their ashes burn the most freely and suitably. In some combina tions potash does not favor the burning, and Sehloesing the tobacco manufac turer, is enabled to improve flavor and burning quality by artificially impreg nating the loaf with acetate, citrate or tartrate of potash, applying the latter in solution and then drying. Chlorine injures the tobacco, as does also nitric a<xd. Sulphuric acid, united with pot ash, soda <>r lime, favors the burning of tobacco. The best tobacco is produced on well-drained, warm, sandy lands. The chemist understands that heavy manuring increases the quantity of the arop genendlo at the expense of quality as regards texture. Wealth of a Sliver Mine. The " Silver Islet" silver mine dis covered on the North ahoro of Lake Superior, opposite Thunder Capo, a few years ago, ia turning out to be the rich est silver deposit on this continent. The ore grows richer as they go down ujion it, and tho vein shows signs of in creasing strength as they approach the shore from the Island. Tho average assav ia $1,600 to the ton, gold value, and 233 tons hnve been shipped to the Wyandotte Silver Smelting Works since the opening of navigation; $60,000 of fine silver has been sent to the Mint to be coined since Juno 5; $500,000 has been spent in building coffer dams, piers, and miners houses, and what seemed an impossibility to the old Montreal Miniug Company, the work ing of this mine Las been accomplished. The B< ■'on Transcript savs that persona who send poetry to the news papers should always retain copies. The New York Times "suggests that they should alse retain the originals. Expanding the Cheat. Take a strong rope, and fasten it to a beam overhead ; to the lower end of the rope attach a stick three feet long, con venient to grasp with the hands. The ropo should he fastened to the oenter of the stick, which should hang aix or eight iuches shove the head. Let a person grasp this stick with the handa two or three feet apart, and swing very moderately at first—perhaps only bear the weight, if very weak—Mid gradually iuer-a*e, as the muscles gain strength from the exercise, until it m*y he used from three to five limes daily. The connection of the arma with the body, with the exception of the clavicle with the hreaat boric, being a muscular at tachment to the ribs, the effect of thia exercise ia to elevate the riba and en large the cheat; and as Nature allows no vacutn, the lungs expand to fill the cavity, increasing the volume of air, the natural purifier of blood, and pre venting the ooujeation or the deposit of tuberculous matter. We have prescribed the altove for all cases of hemorrhage of theluuga, and threatened onucumption, for thirty five yam, ami have lieen able to increaee the measure of the chest from two to four inches within a few months, and with good results. But especially aa a preventive wc would rec ommend this exercise. Let those who love to live cultivate a well-formed, ca pacious chest The student, the mer chant, the sedentary, the young of both sexes—aye, all—should have a swing on which to*stretch themselves daily. We are certain that if thia were to lie prac ticed by the rising generation ins dress sllowing a free ami full development of the body, many would !e saved from consumption. Independently of its beneficial results, the exercise ia an ex ceedingly pleasant one, and as the ap paratus costs very little, there need l> no difficulty about any one eujoying it who withes to.— Dio Lewit. lielrt Han ted to xn KaUto H urth a Million Dollar*. Borne excitement was created in the city of Erie, IVnn., by the appearance of Mr. Geo. Winbigler, or Wiubiger, aa one ot the heir* of the NViubigler estate, at Erie, Penn., est t mat ml to be worth mora than fit,0(10,000, which estate ia now managed by the county of Erie. It appears that three of the Winbiger ;or Winbigler brothers came to this country about the same time, and Jacob, whose estate ia located in Erie, settled in the northwestern part of Pennsyl vania, which aiibaeaueutly proved to be Erie county, where he aocumulated con - siderable property. He had but one I child, a daughter, who waa married, and both herself and husband died shortly after their marriage, leaving no heir*, and in fact none eould be found up to the present time, who could show any claim to the property. But it is now ascertained that the real heirs re side iu Ohio, and are among the moat respectable citizens. They fee! confi dent to be able to fully establish their claim and right to the property. Part of thia estate ia included in the beau tiful public park of the city of Erie and other adjoining lands and lota, which are finely improved. Measure* are be ing completed to send an attorney to Germany to procura the proper family register, under official seals, while the records of the family since lauding in America, will be gathered. Ingenious Trick of B Deserter. An unpleasant event, according to the /'all Mall da:ette. lately befel a young man at Kingston, England, who wonted to l>e photographed in military uniform. While crossing Wimbledon Common he met another young man in an artillery uniform, ami after some conversation the latter suggested to him that he wouli look well photographed aa an ar tilleryman, aud proposed to lend him his uniform. The innocent youth at once gratefully accepted the offer, and went to b puotographei. While the artist waa engaged in posing him iu an attitude sufficiently military to suit his warlike aspiration*, his accommodating acquaintance disappeared with bis civilian's dress. The sitter, however, paid little heed to this, and the opera lion being completed, walked to Kings ton, proud and happy in the possession of a military photograph. On arriving at Kingston he wa* suddenly appre hended as a deserter, and taken Itefore the magistrate*, lie succeeded in prov ing his innocence, on relating the trick which had been played up*u liirn, bat Uie clothes were claimed on behalf of her Majesty, and the young man wa* accordmglv detained until lie could procure other clothing.
