Farm, Garden and Household. Premium 1*bIIoi. The New York TWftunc aaya : We •ataly interviewed a practical farmer ■who for several years past has taken the first prise for hia potatoes. In re ply to inquiries as ta his mode of opera tions, he said that the largest and beat shaped tuber* are always selected for plantiug at digging-time the previous year ; aud he Dads that they have been gradually increasing in site until his potatoes are now enormous. Hod ground is chosen for the crop ; it ia very carefully and deeply plowed, and thoroughly pulverised with the spike harrow. ' Previous ta breaking up, however, the whole surface i* heavily manured, and thia manure raked iuto the furrow as the plow passes round. The tubers are cut into qcarters a few days before planting, and dropped ui the rows sixteen or eighteen inches apart. The row* are struck out with the plow about three feet distant, and the seed ia covered with a good depth of soil. A roller passed over the ground, leveling and smoothing the surface, ta be followed in a short time by the spike harrow. As soon a* the young plauta appear above tho gronud the cultivator is started and kept goiug frequently throughout the growing sea son. Every weed is pulled up as soon as it makes its appearance; for, to use his own expression, he is " too poor to grow weeds." As the plants wax strong, alight furrows are thrown up to them with a small plow, aud these are still further increased afterward by a repe tition of the same process. In dig ging, great care is taken not ta akin or bruise the tubers, but ta handle them all carefully, and this enables the owner to preserve them much better than the careless farmer who throws his potatoes about as if they were cobble stones Thia ia the only magic he employ*. Careful ohoioe of seed, thorough prepa ration of the soil, frequent atiiring of tie surface, and total extinction of •weeds—these are the scarets of his success. The Fattening of Sheep. Mr. L. A. Morrell read before the American Farmers' Clab a paper on the ** Fattening of Sheep," in which he aaad : Quietness ia indispensable to rapid fattening of sheep, cattle, and awine, and to contribute aa much aa possible to this end, regularity is re quisite, not only in the quantity of the food bat the time in which it is given. It is not a little aurpnsiug how quick animals, es pecially when fattening, will learn the stated hours when their food is to be supplied; and if it ia transgressed, they become restless, which, to s certain degree, retards the process. The ob servance of this, with full measure of food, ia of paramount importance. Again, it ia esaeutial that the aheda or buildings in which they are confined should be often supplied with fresh litter, and plenty of it; in short, every thing mast be done to promote com plete rest and contentment. Bheep, when fattening, should not be fed oftener than three times a day, namely, at snnrise, at noon, and an hour before sunset. The interim be tween feedings will enable them to fill themselves leisurely, and to have time sufficient for that quiet digestion which is interrupted by more frequent feed- Water ahonld be t iven without limitation, and that immediately, after meals.

I kept him for three months on straw one foot deep in the stable, but all did BO good. At last I went to the black smith shop and had heavy shoee made which spread wide at the heel*. To these heavy shoes thara was welded, at the outside of each heel, a piece made of shoe nail iron. These pieces were made to fit well ronnd the foot, about an ineh below the bair. I let the pieces oome together within half an inch each, and turned np about three-fourths of an inch. In the turned-op part a bole was made to receive a bolt an inch long, with a square head and screw and nut en the other end. On nailing the shoe on and patting the bolt in and screwing on the cut the foot was brought to gether. In this way I was enabled to work him every day if I wished. Pre vious to this my horse had not walked one mile in three months. Next day after I had the shoes pat on I drove him in a carriage twenty miles, and I have used him right along.— Cor. Cin cinnati Gazette. How to Estimate the Wright of Live Hog*. The following rule for estimating the weight of live hogs we find in the Na tional Live Stock Journal: " From the first 100 pounds dednct 25 pounds from gross ; from the second 100 pounds dednct 62$ ; all over the third 100 is Mfc Thus a hog of 200 pounds, live weight, will give 156$ net weight, and, as a rule, 13j pounds should be allowed for on every hog of 300 pounds or over. A hog of 100 pounds will net 75 pounds ; and of 150 pounds 118} ; one of 200 ponnds 162$ ; one of 250 ponnds 209|. This, of oourse, is only as close an approximation as can be given for the general average of hogs as brought to market. If they are thin there is more shrinkage, if large and well fatted, and especially if pure bred, they will often sLrink even less. We have known instanoes where the shrink £e amounted to only one-sixteenth of 3 live weight. Wintering Bees. In an article in tbe November nam ber of the National Bee Journal, Mrs. Ellen 8. Tupper, the editor, says: Give them plenty of honey, bat not too moch, empty space to cluster in, and keep them dry as well as warm. For us a dry oelkr is the best place, others And rooms above ground as good. Be sure that there is room between tbe bottom of oombs and tbe honey-board. Near the last of November, remove them to the cellar or house, leaving them in perfect darkness and undis turbed till spring. Allow at least twenty pounds of honey to a hive win tered in the cellar, weighing the first of November, and much more if left out of doers. If bees have not that amount, feed them at once until they have; they do much better if fed while they can fly freely. A Nashville printer teoently had tome very bad manuscript copy to set up. Every word needed close study before its meaning could be guessed at, but at length two or three words came ip succession, which it WHO quite im possible to decipher. All hands in the office tried and failed, until at length the printer, in despair, set up "oopy books ten cents each," and continued the work, afterwards sending the proof to the author for correction. The hint was taken, and the author employed an Muaueasis. linocestlf Executed. Oue of the most notable executions that ever occurred in Kentucky, aaya the Louisville Journal, was the hang ing of Captain William P. King and Abraham Owens, at Franklin, in June, 1867. King waa the leader of a gang of tliievea who stopped several trains on the Louisville aud Nashville Railroad aud robbed the passengers, slid Owens was a member of King's gang. The two were convicted of murdering Harvey King, a balf-witbd brother of Captain King, and it wsa asserted that the mur der was committed through fear that the half-witted brother would expose the robber*. The day on which the hanging took place was iutenselv hot, aud the crowd iu front of the galiowa, suffering trader the hlaxiug ami, grew impatient at the seemingly interminable speeches of the doomed men, who again aud again re iterated their innocence, and called upon God to witness the truth of what they said. The Sheriff was at length forced to admonish them, and they stooped snd made ready to die. The body of King twitched horribly after being swung off. aud he appeared ta die hard. Owens struggled some, but did not suffer *o much aa hi* conqiau iou. Everybody familiar with the trial seemed to feel almost oertain that the men were guiltv, but their almiwit fran tic assertion* oi innocence did not fail ta make an tmpreaaiun. Home time ago a man by tho name of Evans was huclied iu Kansas, aud a re port of the lynching in one of the Kan sas papers alleged that before his death he made a ooufearion, iu which he sanl he had once committed a murder m Kentucky, for which two men had bevu hanged. It is now aaid that the Evans who was lynched in Kansas was one of the priuclpal witnesses against Kiag and Owens, and that they are the per sons referred to by him iu his conies aion. Should these statement* turn out to be true, they will be likely to cause unpleasant feelings in Simpson county. It is to be hoped that this publication may lead ta au investiga tion that will give us trustworthy infor mation. A Clerical Charmer. Burleigh writes from New York ta the Boston Journal: "Oue of our city pastors is a most excellent singer. He has a sympathetic voice. He frequently supplements his aermtna with a song, and the musio is quite as efficient as the appeal. He visited a mad-house the other day, and was shown a cell in which a madman was confined. He was one of the most furious sort. He had to be chained ta the floor to keep him fru dashing his brains sgainst the sides of his eelL It was as mnch as one's life was worth to approach hum He tore his clothes into ribbons, and his bed was a mass of rags. As the minister looked through the grating the prisoner made for him, and with snch violence as to jerk himself back on to the floor. He rose foaming with rage. ' I'll kill vou.' ' I'll beat your brains ont' • tlesr out.' Instead of moving, the preacher began to ring. The hymn he selected was, ' Our home iu Heaven.' First the madman lis tened ; then he stretched himself ont ta the fall length of his chain. First one arm relaxed and then the other. Tears moistened his eyes. Then he coiled upon his bed of rags as quiet as a chifd. And when the hymn was ended he looked up, saying, 'More, The preacher sang till his strength gave way, aud when he left the madman seemed hashed in slumber. The keeper said he had no doubt but it would have been perfectly safe for the minister to have gone and sat down by his ride in the cell. It was the old cane of Saul and David." The Russian Monks. According to a recent statement, it appears that the monks in Russia enjoy a very comfortable position, There arc, it seems, in Russia 9,000 monks and nans, who are waited on by 16,000 lay brothers or sisters, as the case may be, who are really servants, although they wear the monastic habit instead of a livery. All the property of the monas teries was confiscated in 1764 by the Empress Catharine, who at the same time assigned to these establishment* in compensation a money indemnity which amonnta at the present day to about $300,000 per annum. She, how ever, took the precaution to make a reg ulation that no monastery should ac quire any landed property without per mission by a royal rescript. The monks have been none the worse for this act of spoliation. The piety of the Rnssian people has made them ample amend*. The annual offerings to monasteries to whioh pilgrimages are made, and which nearly all contain relics or miracnlons image*, amount to no less than $7,500,- 000, and for the last hundred years the legacies in money alone have consti tuted a capital producing $6,000,000 an nually. The result is that each indi vidual monk has an annual income of $772 at his own disposal, and one-third of the revenue of a monastery belongs to the Superior ; so that the poorest of the archimandrites have from $l5O to $7,500 per annum. There are others who have as much as $22,500. The monks, moreover, engage in trade, lend money, and indulge in apeculatious. The Feet and Health. Of all parts of the body there is not one which ought to be so carefully at tended to as the feet. Every person is aware from experience that colds and many other diseases which proceed from the same are attributed to cold feet. The feet are at such a distance from the " wheel at the cistern " of the sys tem, that the circulation of the blood may be easily checked in them. Yon seo all this, and although every person of common sense should be aware of the truth of what we have stated, there is no part of the body so much trifled with ss the feet. The young and would be-genteel-footed cramp their feet into thin-soled, bone-pinching iioota, in order to display neat feet, in the fash ionable sense of the term. Now this is very wrong. In cold weather, boots of good thick leather, both in soles and uppers, and large enough to give free circulation to the blood in the feet, should be woru by all. They shonld be water tight and w'arm, but not air-tight. It injures the feet to wear an air-tight cover over them. India rubber shoes or boots shonld not be worn except in wet and slushy weather, and then taken off as soon as the exposure to it is over. No part of the body shonld be allowed to have a covering which entirely ob structs the passage of the carbonic acid ges from the pores of the skin. There is one great evil against which every person should be on his guard—we mean the changing of warm for oold boots or shoes. It is a dangerous prac tice. His encumbers. A prisoner in tbe Missouri peniten tiary, too woak to work, and who had the run of the yard, ene day asked the Warden if he could be allowed to culti vate a small corner of the enclosure. " What do you want to raise ? " " Cu cumbers, sir." " Why, you can't raise them here, the other prisoners would steal them." " No, sir," said the man firmly ; " they will not steal one of them." "Well, go ahead," said the Warden, "if any of your cucumbers are stolen, don't come to me with your eomplaints." "You will never near from me on that score, sir." The cu cumbers were planted, watered, trained and cultivated, and an immense crop was the result. As fast, however, as the fruit ripened, it disappeared, and the Warden became oonvinced that the own er sold it for liquor, produce, or some other contraband article. He directed the man to be watched, and finally he was detected in the act of carrying bis cucumbers to the hospital and giving them to the poor fellowß who, in their sickness, craved them. Not one had been stolen. Kentucky has finally abolished the whipping of criminals. The last man to be lashed was a cripple, who hobbled to the post in Lexington on cratches. The Kentucky Senate wouldn't vote against accepting free railroad passes, How to Quota Sterling Exchaugv, Some now method for quoting ex change on London unit bo adopted on the flrtt of tho now year, a* the act of OougrtM ia iu|erative. Heretofore, all attempts to overturn Uip system have utterly faMed. HabiU of any kind are harder to change tb*u wore tlie edicts of tho Mtnlri unci rvtuiau*. Tha old way of competing valuea of produce iu our market* by ahilliuga haa continued to thia day, although the ahilling coin haa long aitice goue out of circulation ; and hav i* aold ou all the atauds at ao tnauv smiling* to the hundred. Any attempt ta tlx the price iu federal cur rency would l>e a * unintelligible to a Long Inland or Westchester farmer aa if atated in Prauoa or Herman thalera. There could not te well devised a mere awkward method of reckoning sterling exchange than the one <• long iu vogue in the Vnited Statea. Them waa a time, a century ago, when 4*. sd. sterling <54 pence) waa the equivalent of a silver dollar. This would make a pound sterling equal to ft 44 49 of federal enrrencv. river since that date the nominal value of the British sover eign haa been kept at these tigiirea, and the rate of exchauge made up bv adding a premium to that assumed value. Thus, if exehange was actually in our favor, aud billa ou London were sell ing in thia city at a discount, the price might seem to le greatly above jar, and tlina be very confusing to or dinary observers not conversant with the mvaterie* of the calculation. The actual pj in the old style of computa tion is about lIWJ. That is if we multi ply $1 44 4 9by 1.094, we have $4 86.6 which would cover the bill in British gold. IV ordinary munis, however, ex eliauge on Loudon at 109} give# the im pression of a price 9} per cent, above par, aud many who are theoretically acquainted with the system could not real ire w hen sales were made by ship pers duriug the late panto at 106 to 107 that the rate was so far below par it took away all chauce of profit ou the shipment against which the exchange was made. We have often referred to an attempt made a quarter of a century ago by our selves and all the leading hankers here to rectify thia matter, and to quote the pound at its selling equivalent in dol lars aud cents. There was no pecuniary profit to be gained by the change; it commended itself to the public solely as a matter of sentiment; and it was at tended with some present inconve nience. In short, the inveterate habit was too strung for Uie argument, and in a few days everybody reverted to the old method. Congress has now taken the matter in hand. The value of the pound ster ling was fixed by act of March 8, 1873, for all official reckonlnga,at $4.86 6}, ami it was euacted that " all contracts made after the first day of January, 1874, based on an assumed par of exchauge with Great Britain of fifty-four penoe to the dollar, or $4 44 4-9 to the sovereign or pound sterling, shall be null and void." The reason for Congressional interference was undoubtedly the efiect of the old method upon foreign quota tions for American securities. The price named every day in the London market referred always to the assumed,and not to the actual, equivalent of the dollar. Thus, 92 quoted there for five-twenties bears the same relation to the actual price of the security that $4 44 4 9 does to the actual value of the aovereign. As we must add about niue and oue-half per cent, premium to $4 44 4 9 to bring it up to $4 86. 6}, the value of the sover eign, so nine aud one-half per cent, added to 92 would show that tne quota tion, although seeming to be at a dis count of eight per cent., is really above par. American federal money securi ties, therefore, quoted at 92 in London, are equal to British consols quoted at 100J, and it was to rectify thia that the act was passed. As a question of Con stitutional right we do not believe that Congress can Toid a contract between individuals because it was made at a reckoning of fifty-four pence to the dol lar. But the change is iu itself very desirable, and no one will presume to test that right, we suppose, in the courts. It will bo seen that the law does not prescribe how exchauge shall be quoted, it simply forbids (by voiding the con tract) all computations by the old moth ed. There are two methods for selec tion as a substitute for that which ia to be abandoned. One ia to take the given value of the aovereign ($4 86.6}). and to give the rate upon thia as a basis. If this were adopted, " Exchange on Lon don 100} " would mean the half of one per cent premium ou $4 86 6}, or about $4 89 for the pound. But the fraction would prove awkward and troublesome, espec ially when exchange fluctuated lust about the par, now above and now t>elow, since the discounts would be given as 99}, 99;, Ac., and much confusion arise if the fractions only were quoted. There is evidently no better way than to go back to the reform attempted twenty-five years ago, and to qnote the offered sale of so many pounds at the actual equivalent proposed in dollars and cents. A customer applies to a banker for one thousand pounds on Lon don, The banker asks him $4 87 for the bill. That means that he must pay here the banker his check for $4 87, and receive the banker's draft on London for £I,OOO This is plain sailing, and a child can easily reckon it. All mystery on this subject and all confusion will then be eTermore at an end. We hope that the bankers will meet and agree npon this method, and ar range for its adoption on the first of January, when the Act of Congress ap plies to the subject, so that all may in augurate the one svstem together, and a uniform practice tLat shall be intelligi ble to all prevail thenceforth through out the country.— Journal of Com merce. Carbolic Acid Mot a Disinfectant. The Southern cities that have suffered from yellow fever, or been threatened with it, this fall, have, of coarse, re sorted to a profuse use of disinfectants. Principal nmong those used has been carbolic acid, which, according to popular consent, is the most effective of all the remedies against infection. Prof. Cochran, of the Alabama Medical College, condemns it as being condu cive to the spread of disease rather than its suppression, and says, after watching the effects of its nsc in the hospitals of Mobile and New Orleans : Not only do the facts and examples ad duced in proof fail to establish the efficacy of carbolic acid as a prophvlac tic against yellow fever, bnt wit Wit any violence, and without any sophis tical interpretation, they go very far toward the establisnment of the sus picion that its influence has been the very reverse of prophylactic ; that if it has not contributed to the extension of the disease, it has at least added to its malignity and increased the mortality to a fearful ratio. The experiment has been made, and it has failed. C'arrlng for his Dinner. The Boston Transcript relates the following anecdoto of an old-time New England stage-house: "Atone of tliefh, day after day, a stranger, apparently a guest, was politely asked by the landlord if he would be good enongh for that day to carve the dish before him. Uni formly the well-dressed stranger grace fully complied and a* gracefully carved the oontents of the platter. Borne over inquisitive person, for there were such even in those famous old times, at last observed that day by day the same dish appeared in the same spot, that the same person occupied the same place at table, and the same polite request was in the same tone preferred aud complied with. The well-dressed guest was a neighboring tailor who was famous as a carver, perhaps from prac tice on the goose, and who got his din ner for his services." A correspondent of the Waterloo Ob server tells a story of a man who went to a new town in'.the West. When he arrived with his wife the town was building a hotel. She being the firßt woman here the town stopped work, gave three cheers, and engaged her on the spot to mend their clothing for $2 a day. The things whioh try people show what is in them. Stories of Virginia* Kurrirora. Many of the circumstances of the j capture of the Virgiuins and the im prisonment of thoae taken on board which Uie priaonera brought by the Juniata have related to Uie New York I IVibum reporters aie of considerable : lutereat. Samuel Gray, a oarpeuter, of llarrinburg, I'vnn., ia oue of the moat intelligent of the prisoners. He barely escaped the fate of his more unfortu nate friends. He was sent to the "chapel" twice, each time being told that lie waa to bo shot, but waa after ward* remanded to the place of im priaonmeut, much to his own surprise aud to the auiaaemeut of all the prison ers, who had twice biddeu him what thev supposed to lie a last farewell. At Sautiago he was in the hospital for a considerable time before the de|iarture of the Juniata, wheu he waa takeu on board. The treatmeut of himself and the other prisoner* in the hospital seems to have been more considerate than would be expected from people who had showu themselves ao bitter and cruel. They received proper medical attend auee, good uursiug, such nutriment as their condition required, together with comfortable quarters. It is doubtful if the M|i*uiard themselves in the hos pitals receive better atteution. It ia aaid that Gray's real name ia Gratis, but duriug his oonneetion with Culwui af fairs he haa uniformly been known by the former uatue, aud ia called Gray in the list of prisoner*. Mr. Gray him self attributes his safety ta the good will of au Englishman who is an officer iu the Spanish army ; while it is thought tiv certain persons familiar with all the circumstances that Ilia Maaonio rela tions served him st the last momeitt, wheu every expedient had been .tried. Mr. Gray acknowledge* that some things were thrown overboard from the Yirgiuiua during the chase by the Tor nado, but claiiua ta have no personal knowledge of what kind of property or what amouut of it was disposed of in that way. Another instance of good fortune ia the case of a fireman named King, wh<> is an Englishman by birth. He could uot a pea* a word of Spauiah, and was unable ta aire auv account of himaeit to the Spanish authorities. When the 37 who were shot together were taken out for execution, King waa also taken, but when the names of the condemned were called, his was not amoug them, and he was returned ta the boat over come with delight at hia narrow escape. He had witnessed the terrible slaughter, and hail himself expected immediate death, wheu the joyful word waa giveu that he should live. One of the case* that hail excited especial interest among the officer* of the Juniata, ia that of Edward Scott, an American boy 16 ve. rs of age. His home ia in Salem, N. i J., aud hi* father is superintendent of the gas works in that place. Some mouths ago young Scott, like many country boys, became tired of the dull life at home, and excited by the won derful stories of the outside world,came to New York without the knowledge of his parent*. He was accompanied by several young friends, and made up his mind to go ta sea. The Atlas waa about to sail from New York, and he was given a chance ta go as lamp-trimmer upon the vessel, which wsa bouud ta Costa Rica. This oppor tunity he gladly accented. On board he fell sick and was left at Jamaica, but after a week or so recovered, aud went on the Yirgiuiua at Kingston, without kuowing or thiukiug anything about the character of the vessel. When taken prisoner with the rest l>v the Tornado, he waa among the few who were placed upon the small gunboats. Of the five who were with him upon one of these vessels, three were takeu to make up the wretched thirty-seven who were shot together. His waa remaka ble good fortune in escaping death, since many of those who made up the doomed baud were taken indiscrimi nately from the whole number. Home of the officers of the Juniata being pleased with hia appearance aa>l interested in his story, took him iuto the cabin on the passage from San tiago, and he is now iu good spirits aud rejoiced ta raturn ta his friends after so severe an experience. The foregoing ia hia story verr much aa he ha* given it to several of tlie officers of the Juniata. Philip Metxler, a native of Charles tan, S. C., and a cigar-maker by trade, gives a somewhat confused account of the boarding of the Yirgiuiua by the Tornado. He was evidently much frightened, as were many of the pas sengers aud crew, aud the result proved that they hail good cause ta be. Capt. Fry hauded the papers of the Yirgimus to the Spanish officer, who took them with expressions of the utmost con tempt, crashing them in his band and declaring that he cared nothing for the papers since the vessel was inliia pow er which he had been searrhing after for weeks. The Ameriaan flag was im mediately hauled down and all on board ordered ta the other vessel. The state ment of Mr. Metxler aa well as others of the passengers indicates that the Yirginius would have been able ta es cape from the Tornado but for her wretched condition at the time, as she had a bad leak and eight feet of water i in her hold in the forward cc mpart ment. Ordinarily she could make 14 knots per hour, and at that rate could have left the Tornado out of sight iu a j short time. It is also said that when the Tornado finally overhauled the Yir ginius, after fall eight hours' chase, flaiues were rolling np from the smoke stack of the former, and had nearly | burnt it ont. The vessel could hardly j have borne a much longer chase tinder snch a strain. The statements of nearly all the pris oners agree in disowning any knowledge of the purposes of the officers of the Yirginius. They profess ta hav® em barked as passengers, to have seen no arms on board, and ta have seen little or nothing thrown overboard. Those on the Juniata certaiuly do not present a very warlike appearance, many of them being very young aud diminutive in six®, and without any very intelligent estimate of the undertaking which they entered upon. The fact that the Yir ginius WW) advertised ta go into Port Limonea and then sailed arouud among the islands of the West Indies, seem ingly without any exact deatination, appears not ta htve excited any curi osity among them as ta her object, but on the contrary their statements ex hibit an utter indifference ta the course of the ship, or the intention of the offi cers. One point, however, is clear, namely, that the vessel put in or was about to put yi at Port-an-Prinee fur repairs, when Captain Fry changed his mind, and turned her to the westward j and back to Jamaica. Brotherhood of Engineer*. The headquarters of the International Division of the Brotherhood of Looo motive Engineers ia located at Cleve land, Ohio. From the last report of the Grand Chief Engineer, Mr. C. Wilson, made at the Philadelphia meeting, we learn that the progress of the Order has l>een rapid for the past year. There are 172 divisions,with a total membership of 0,500 ; bnt since that time theadditioas will bring the aggregate up to 10,000. The total cash on hand October 1 was 829,803, exclusive of over 80,000 as the net income of the Journal, a periodical under the control of the G. C. E. There were 83 deaths daring the past year, and 821,041 were dispensed to meet the wants of the families of the deceased. The lato railroad strike has brought the brotherhood prominently before the people, as the public is intimately con cerned in the movements of the rail roads. A correspondent had an inter view with Mr. Wilson, in which ho stated that the recent strike was not authorised, consented to, nor encour aged by the brotherhood in any par ticular. The rnles did not justifyit, nor did the Order sanction it. The brotherhood, at their headquarters, deny all knowledge of the striae in an official charactor.

Eric haa gone to the fold yard, as tiesrema a thrifty hiiahaudnian, to eee after the well-being of our kiue. Would that he wi re back to laugh off uiy fear*, and exorcise the iihantom* which rise thus unhidden from tha day* that are now no mora. HIM hearty presence aud joyous voice ere iu theuiaelvM tot potent against dis traught fancies an the "sprig of rowan" which the faithful wear for safeguard against witchcraft and tha evil eye. Meanwhile, aa I ait waiting with the sup|H r ready, aud all things bright and tidy, I must e'en yield to the spell of the place and hour, and listen to the tale suggested by tha wandering I one ias of old. New Year's ve some tbiity years ago —and we were keeping it right merrily at the old mauor-liouae of Htor Aswan, tha homo of my childhood, as it had been tkat of mv forefathers for many generations, 'fhe pleaaautekt spot in all tha world, I thought, aud still think, that quaint Norwegian homestead, with its buff walla and birch bark roof, which euceeodiug aummars haul rendered ver dant with an evergreen thatch of moss and lichens. Just now, however, this was not visible, for snow lay thickly upon it, aa it lud lain for weeks post, not only there, but upon all the coun try round. We were iu the midst of a v Lite sea, whose billows were the par tially submerged hedges, that daily grew loos noticeable as the snow drifted in and piled above them. The fir trees alone stood forth bravely, as if defying this iusidious foe, yet even their stately branches trailed earthwards, and their atroug arms creaked an J strained under the ever-increasing load. It waa the hardest winter there had been for fifty years—so the old folks said- and they foretold its continasnoe for some weeks longer. Other signs were not wanting which more plainly than aught else denoted the unusual severity of the season. The flocks of wild fowl, usually so shy and difficult of approach, came down from the up per mere*, their accustomed haunts, and strove with tie tome deniaena of rmr own farm yard for a share in their midday meal. Hares and rabbits, im pelled by hunger, forgot their nature, and stole up to our very doors, beg ging with Uieir large black eyes in a piteous dumb fashiuu for relief. Herds of reindeer also came south from Lap land, seeking more genial pastures; and it was rumored that less pleasant visi tors had recently been seen and heard. The black pine forests of Halten had again sent forth the grim, blood thirsty pack of legionaries who for ages had dwelt unmolested in its dark fastness, and the cry of "wolf was no lougcr, as heretofore, on empty wound. All thia, however, did not affect say of our party, who were all Norsemen and maidens born, naed to the oold, full of health and apinta. I, Ella Bieorn, daughter of the houae, was the wildest of that mad circle who had aasemhhd at Htor Aswan that Chrtsauiaa-Ud* to do honor to my betrothal to Eric Jarl, the lover of my youth, ere long to be my husband. A soon as the birch-trees put forth their fiist green tassels in the early springtime, I was to leave my old home for a new one; so now, aurronnd ed bt ktnstold and neighbor*, we were keeping this last anniversary of my spinsterbood in goodly fashion. We revived many a bygone pastime, and the vast hull at Htor Aswan reechoed once again to the shouts that greeted the in coming of a mighty yule-log, and rang with joyoua laughter at the tricks and antics of morria-danccrs and mummers. B<>, in dancing, feasting, and merry making, the week aped, until a few honra more would ace ua all acatUred in variooa directions, to meet again we knew not when or where. For the laat day, therefore, we had reaerred the chief pleasure, thecrowuing point of all oar cnjoymeul—a sleighing and skating party to' Btor Aswan, a mountain-en circled lake some ten miles further north, the same from which our home stead derived its quaint Kunic name. This was to be our vail or greeting to the New Year—oar welcome to the in oomiug guest. Brightly dawned the eventful morn ing, clear and fair aa heart could desire. Blue wss the sky aa a sapphire, whilst the freshly-fallen snow sparkled and shone as 'though strewn with living gems. All nature seemed rejoicing like ourselves at the advent of another rear, and one already so full of promise. Without, the snow-bells tinkled and chimed merrily, making the frosty air ring again as the gaily-caparisoned horses pawed and shook their heads, impatient as their owners to be off. At length we started, Eric and I aa hosts being the last of the party, for of course he wna my charioteer. 1 well remem ber my father standing at the door to see us go, and aa he tucked the bear skin rug more closely around me, bid ding us " return early, and beware of the Salten hounds." We laughed at the warning then, but lmd awful cause to romemberjt afterwards. ' Of that day I shall not speak ; we were all young and in wild spirits, and some of ua in love. Need I aay more? Au-idst the many fair faces and lithe forms that glided ho gracefully over tho frozen mere, tireless through these long hours, I was the fairest. I, blue-eyed, golden-haired Ell i Bieorn, was the ac knowledged belle and queen of the party, and Eric, my lover, the most stalwart youth of the country-side. But all things, even the pleasantest, must come to au end. So when the shades of evening began to fall heavily, merg ing earth, sky. and water into one groy leaden cloud, we began our journey homewards. Tired out with my exer tions, as soon as we started I nestled down amongst the soft furs in the sleigh, snd, rocked by its easy motion, soon fell fast asleep. How long I slept, I knew not; but when I awoke it was snowing fast, snd the darkness so in tense that we could not see a hand's breadth Wfore us. I called to Eric, who was driving, and asked if all was well. To which the answer came hack, half deadened by the thick atmosphere, "AU well, hut "for Goil's sake try to keep awake." * So I aronsed myself and sat np,know ing that sleep in' that bitter night air might mean death. Of any other fear I had no thought, for my driver was akillfnl whilst Thor and Odin, onr two sturdy little mountain ponies, knew their way home almost unguided. Sud denly, as I listened vainly for the echo of our companions' bells, I heard an other sonnd come up with the wind—a long-drawn hollow moan. Twice or thrice it came at intivals. this weird noise, each time nearer and more dis tinot- The third time the ponies also heard it, for they sprang forward with an impetus that almost shook me out of the carriage. Frightened, I said to Eric, " What, O, what is that ?" And the answer came backf short and atern, " The Balten hounds !" Then began that terrible chase "I or dear life" whioh, though we should both live for twice our allotted spun, we never oeuld forget. Swiftly we sped along, our steeds impelled by a terror ns great as our own, until thev appeared almost to fly. Breathlessly we barkened, hoping even yet to leave the enemy be hind. But no ; they traveled witn us, gained upon us, nearer and vet nearer —their cry growing peroeptihly from an uncertain vague voice of the darkness into the unmistakaMy wolf-like note. We knew from the" direction from whenoe it oame that they were tracking ua by aoent; to now our last poor chance Uy in the darkness of the Bijrht and our nearneae to Htor Aswan. Lrie ■till held the rains, and I covered down at Ut button of the alsigh and prayed morn earnaaUy than I had ever ret done in toy life " for an inoreaaeof the anow drift, or aught, even a miracle, if it might only aavn aa." (3u, and on, for a time that aeemed interminable, yet in truth might hare been hut a few momenta. Then the ntarm oeaeed, the moon emerged from her elirlter, and we aew half a mile in S our rear a dark line oomiug awifUy and kteudily down upuu ua. In the middle of a white plaiu, with no nook or earner viaihle wherein we oould take refuge, and atill nearly e league from home, our cstae looked hopeleaa enough, (to our purauera aeemed to think, aa they uow caught aight of ua for the tirat time, and lifting Uieir black muaalea from the ground gave vent to a howl of oarage exultation. 1 could have acreametl too when I heard it, for fright waa driving me half wild ; it waa eo unutterably horrible to periah thus, llut a glance at Erie, an calm and et*ad faat, gave me new courage. I felt that, come what might,we ahouid at least die together. Faster and faster we (lew, like hunted snimala, death behiud ua coming on apace. A few yarda more and he would claim ua for liia own. Already I could hear the rapid breathing of our foea, see their fierce eyee and white teeth glittering and gleaming in the moon light, Prompted by Eric, I threw out the beer-akin rug which protected me from the cold. For a moment thev paused, smelt at it, then on with fresft fury after their old prey. One by one, ruahiouß, wraps, all went over to the hungry pack, each gaining na an in ataut'a priceless delay. Aa tha laat fell from my hand, the foremost wolf bounded'forward, juat miaaing my arm, whilat his strong, cruel jaws met with a painfully audible snap. Then Eric turned and looked at me— a long, loving glance—and began knot ting tlie reiua to the iron aide of the driviug-aeat. leatinctively divining hia purpose of giving hia life to aave mine. I sprang forward, and clinging to him frantically, whiapemd ; " Dearest, remember, we aland or fall together." A sudden thought, justified by our dire extremity, flashed through my brain—it waa'a beat a forlorn hope. Quickly I bent ov* r Eric, anatehed the bunting-knife from hia belt, and cut looae the neereet pony. With aa al most human cry of pain the poet ani mal galloped on, Willi the ravenous pack afb-r it, A few strides only and it waa surrounded, overpowered, down ; and the laat sounds we heard ere the wel come lights of Htor Aswan came in aight were our baffled enemies growling aud fighting over the remains of my gallant little steed. It waa a cruel sac rifice ; but necessity known no law, and by it we w ere saved. In year* after, aa we sat ronnd the fire at New Year's Eve, with the storm beating wildly, aa now, against the caeement, and the wintrv twilight closing in, our children would ask to hear, " once more,'* the oft-told tale of the " Sal ten hounds," or our flight " lor dear life." Kescned from Santiago. The United HUtee steamer JuuiaU has arrived with one hundred and two rescued prisoners—the survivors of those taken on the steamer Virginias. Some new light ia cast upon the cap ture tud the immediately related events by the men now brought hither. Bj their story the bistorv of the massacre is somewhat redeemed from the confu aion into which it waa thrown bv the several contradictory statements of the numbers of persona killed on the vari ous days of the executions. It appears that in all fifty-three persona were abut —four at first, on November 4 ; thirtj seven on November 7 and twelTe on Novemlter ft—and that the executions were only stopped by the arrival at Santiago* of the lintiah uian-of-war Niobe. There ia a further report that the thirty-eeven who were killed on the 7lh were at first to have been shot on the Bth, bnt that a change was made In the day in consequence of its becoming known that the British man-of-war would arrive on the Bth. statistics of Bengtl. The Christian says that a oeil eus of Bengal lately taken makes the population C 7,000,000, instead of 40,- 000,000, aa waa estimated. In some districts there are 600 to the square mile. The unrulier of Mohammedans ia far in excess of popular ratimate, which lias counted them at about 13,- 000,000, while they are found to be 20,- 064,000. Of all who call themselves Hindoos in faith there are 42,674,000. The Buddhists are 85,000 in number, and the Christiana 88,000. Of the aboriginals, included ia neitberof theee claaaea, there are 2,331,000. It is stated that the Mohammedans, with their armies of missionaries, their theory that all faithful racea are equal before God, ami their practice of raising any convert at once to fall social equality, are becoming so numerous that by t&e year 1900 they will he half the popula- < tion, and ultimatclv will control the religious destiny of bengal.
