Tho Country Gentleman report
lecture by Ol. Wilder, before the Mas.
pncbuRotts Ilnrhpultnrnl Society, upon
the snljpct of librirtizntion, in which
lie stntes that the rhododendron and
nznlen, distinct Renem, lind becnliTbri
dized, but no one hnil ever succeeded
in mnldnff a hybrid between the npple
and tlio penr, or between the rnapberry
nnd the blnokberry, which belong re
spectively to the Mime Renrrn. It wnn
doubted for n time thnt hybrids could
be obtained between the Vitus vinifera
nnd V. lahruaca, but Rogers, Under
bill, Campbell, nnd others have settled
the question nnd produced them. Col.
Wilder snid thnt his .earliest experience
in hibridizinR was in the floral kingdom,
in crossing species nnd varieties of the
camellin. He discovered thnt, to pro
duce double flowers, it wa9 important
thnt the pollen be taken from a pelaloid
anther, thnt is nn nnther borne on ft
small petnl (the filament being flattened
out in its first remove from its original
form,) nnd thnt this was still better if
from a double flower. He also per
formed interesting experiments with
the lily ; the first was with the red
Japan nnd the tiger lily. Seedlings
were produced with aiflerent shades,
from delicate rose to dark crimson. He
also found thnt pollen preserved its fer
tilizing power n long time. In one in
stance, a camel's hair pencil, which hail
not been used for several days, wns
found with pollen on it. This wns ap
plied to the Rtigma of a lily, nnd pro
duced impregnation. In nnother in
stance, lie fertilized with pollen carried
a l""g time in his pocket.
Tlio srienco of hybridization, says
Col. Wilder, is yet in its infancy. To
use the Lmgnngn of Dr. Lindley, "we
have but stepped over the borders, nnd
the whole field of hybridizing lies wide
ly spread before us ; its boundaries are
lost in the horizon, nnd we shall find
them btill receding as we advance."
The Stitch In Time.
Mr. Coon saw a, board off from the
fence ns he came home from town, but
he wns tired and thought he would wait
till morning. Morning came nnd he
found twenty head of cattle in his corn,
and ns many bushels of corn eaten or
destroyed, nil for the hick of noting on
the principle Hint "nstitch in time saves
nine." Win. Culver knew when he
went to bed that a board was off the
garden fence ; in the morning he was
setting the dog on the old sow nnd nine
pigs. They hud picked the white grubs
out of more tlmn thirty hills of potatoes
nnd the potatoes ns weil. Culver stormed
and anathematized the old sow nnd nil
her imps. A moment's calm reflection
would have shown him that he nlone
wns to blame. The neglect to exercise
the small economy of nailing up a board
ended in leaving him minus thirty hills
01 potatoes nml other garden sauce, nnd
plus a big passion for nothing but his
o wn negligence, nnd sour thoughts mar
ring his hnppiness for a whole week.
It not unfrequently happens that n
trifling neglect of this kind mnkes snd
liavoc in a field of ripening whent, with
great loss nnd hard feelings between
neighbors. A thousand nnd one little
things on a farm, if neglected twenty
four hours, frequently result in loss,
bad blood, nnd lii'side in setting a mis
erably bad example for our children.
" Like father, like son," is an old say
ing, nnd its truth consists in the fact
thnt a son, educated like his father, will
act like him.
To C'leim Paint.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman says : Use but little water at
once ; keep it warm nnd clean by chang
ing it often. A flannel cloth takes ofl
fly specks better thnn cotton. Soap will
remove the paint ; so use but littleof it.
Cold tea is the best liquid for cleaning
varnished paint, window panes nnd mir
rors. A sharp piece of soft wood is in
dispensable for e'eaning out corners. A
saucer of sifted ashes should always be
nt hand to e'ean unvarnished pniut that
has become badly smoked ; it is better
than soap. Never put s-ap upon glass,
unless it can be thoroughly rinsed off,
wliich can never be done to window
glass. Wash off the specks with warm
tea, nnd rub the panes dry; then make
a paste of whiting and wa'ter, nnd put a
little in the center of each pane. Take a
dry cloth nnd rub it nil ovr the glass,
aud then rub it off with a chamois skin
or flannel, nja your windows will shine
like cryst'ii.
llosiiljciiy Jelly.
To each pint of juice nllow lb. of
loaf sugar. Let the raspberries be
freshly gathered, quite ripe, and picked
from the stalks ; put them into a larcre
jar, nfter breaking the fruit a little with
u wooden spoon, and place this jar,
covered, in a saucepin of boiling water.
When the juice is well drawn, which
will be in three-quarters to one hour,
strain the fruit through a fine hnir sieve
or cloth ; measure the juice, and to
every pint nllow the above proportion
of ionf sugar. Put the juice and sugnr
into a preserving pan, place it over the
fire, and boil gently until the jelly thick
ens when a little is poured on a plate ;
carefully remove all the scum as it rises,
ponr the jelly into small pots, cover
down, and keep in a dry place. This
jelly answers for making raspberry
cream, and for flavoring various sweet
dishes, when, in winter, the frebh fruit
is not obtainable. ,
How to Raise Hay.
Writes a correspondent: I see you
notice the great d run eh t which is nfflict
ing us just now. We lmvn had but
little rain in many weeks. To encour
age farmers nnd amateurs in (he culti
vation of lands I send a sample, of the
grass made into hay this week on "The
Mount Elizabeth Tlacp, Paterson, N. J."
It averages three feet long, and seems
to have d fled the drought. We have
Eplendid Lay fully twenty-five tons on
ten arces.
How ? Rotation, deep ploughing and
good manuring ; first year in corn, sec
ond in potatoes, third in oats, and seed
ed down in clover and timothy. This
is the third grass yenr. We alwnys
" subsoil plough," nnd now in a dry
time get the benefit. I suppose we
should have lind thirty tons if the
eeuson Lad been favorable.
A Boston letter carrier, who has ac
quired much skill in " skimming "
letters into business oflices by a twist of
the wrist, thus saving himself some
steps, recently sent one on a flight which
ended in depositing it behind a table.
" Never mind," he called to an office
boy who attempted to move the table to
get it, "it's only a circular." Three
weeks later, when the curiosity of one
of the boys prompted him to see what
was in the circular, he found ia it h
letter enclosing a check for $300.

Batter nnd Client making In Snaqne
Itftilna County,
I have lately, snvs Miss Ornndv. in
the New York World, hnd the pleasure
vi imiuutj liic nirgent umrj iurm iu ims
county, winch, is scarcely less noted
thnn your own Orange County, for the
superior quality of its butter. I alwnys
have had a fnney to see a dniry farm,
hnving a notion that I should see neat
ness brought to nn ideal perfection J
besides I have an appetite for all the
shapes' nnd forms hulk can take upon
itself, whether it bo fresh from the cow,
in tho form of buttermilk, or that (to
Ine) most" delicious edible . cottnge
cheese, otherwise Dutch cheese, other
wise but here my ignorance of the
proper orthography niny lend me into
mischief schmeerknse. Neither vdiam
pngne nor its rivnl, the Washington
Spring nt Saratoga ; neither terrapin
nor soft-shell crabs CHn rival butter
milk and cottage chef se in my estima
tion. Quite a depraved taste, isn't it ?
I wns not nt nil disnppointed in the
farm I visited, nlthongh wo descended
upon Mr. Abner Oriffis nnd his family
in the most unexpected manner on a
rainy afternoon. Mr. Oriflis hns in one
piece about 700 nci-es j he keeps 100
cows, nnd he and his wife nnd daughter
not only personally superintend the
butter-making, but do n large share of
the work themselves. Only eighty-four
cows nre milked now, and every milk
ing yields between 250 nnd 300 gnllons
of milk, or between GO nnd 70 pounds
of butter. When we first drove up we
saw the calves, forty-five in number,
being put in position to have their even
ing meal placed before them. They
stood in one lot, and their Lends were
put between the stanchions, just out
side of which, in another lot, wns
placed the trough, into which the feed
wns tioured. I had never seen calves
so fed, so had the matter explained.
The stanchions nre movable palings.
An upright paling is moved to one
side, so ns to admit a calf's head be
tween it nnd tho next paling. When
fairly in the paling is secured by a
peg at the top, making it impossible
for the calf to withdraw Ins nend
The troughs for the feed nre hollowed
out of a log, and each calf has his own
separate trough which no other calf cau
reach. The ealves nre tnken from the
cows as soon ns they come into the
world and nve tnugut to feed in this
mnnner. Milk only is given them nt
first, and after awhile, when they grow
older, mush made of corn meul is
stirred in. Mr. Griffis's stock is mostly
Devon, though he has good milkers
who nre ordinary briudle cows.
The butter is churned by a horse, who
stands on a ciiculur platform, some
what inclined, and by constantly step
ping causes the platform to revolve and
j U wheel in the centre to turn, by means
j of which a crauk is worked commuui
i eating with a beam in tho milk-room, to
whose arms the dashers of the churn
are affixed. The beam is horizontal,
and turns from side to side when
worked by the crank, thus raising the
dashers up and down. The beam has
six arms and can work six churns, but
generally only fonr are used. Between
the room where the machinery is used
and the milk-room, is a shed over a
stone pavement. On a table here the
pans and pails not mnse are aired after
being thoroughly cleansed with a brush,
soap, nnd hot water. Water plays ns
important a pnrt in butter-mnking ns
milk itself, and must tie more plenti
fully supplied. Beneath the same shed
ibove mentioned is the penstock, or
hydrant, where the water brought from
a well-supplied spring, 100 yards dis
tant, overflows into a half hogshead,
or when turned oft' there is carried to
the bnrn-ynrd for the cattle. In a build
ing close nt hnnd is the furnace, on
which stands a vessel of hot water
always ready. The eighty-four cows
are milked by about seven men, who
bring in two pails nt a time attached to
a neck-yoke worn by the bearer. The
milk is strained and divided out into
pans which hold about four gallons
each. The room where the milk is kept
is a spotless place. The floor, milk-racks
&c, nre painted in buff ; the beam which
works the churns nnd the churns them
selves are blue. The furniture of the
room consists of two rows of milk-racks,
on which between sixty nud seventy
pnns nre set, twelve on a tier, and there
ire five tiers, or six counting the top
tier. There is a passage-way between
the racks. Each rnek represents a
milking and is duly labelled ; as for in
stance one bears a card, Monday a. m.,
another ennuny, p. m. ine milk is
used ns the weather directs. In warm
weather it is necessary to churn often,
in cold tho reverse is necessary. The
cream is skimmed from an inch to an
inch nnd a half below the surface, is
thick and leathery when ready for
churning, nnd should be at the temper
ature of sixty-four degrees. Every
effort is made to keep the milk-room at
an equal temperature and thoroughly
well ventilated. It occupies a building
hy itself, raised about two feet from
the ground. It has n double wall all
around, with a space between the outer
and inner wall, or, in other words, an
air wall, which serves to equalize the
temperature in all seasons. The win
dows are used only to give light ; the
air comes in through slats in the floor,
and escapes through openings in the
ceiling. A thermometer in a prominent
place gives warning of overmuch heat
or cold. In tho winter a stove in the
centre of the room has to be used. The
churns are large, barrel-shaped, wooden
vessels, which hold about forty-five
gallons, but are never more than halt
tilled for a churning, it being necessary
that the dasher should work in the air
above the cream and force the air down,
as well as to work beneath the surface
of the cream. It requires about an
hour for the butter to come from churn'
nig. If the cream is below the proper
temperature for churniug warm water
is poured into the churn with it ; if
above, cold water is used.
The butter-worker works thirty-fivo
or forty pounds at a time, aud we saw
this done. As the churning is done at
a snpernaturully early hour of the
morning we could not see that oper
ation. The working is very interesting,
It is done in a cool, clean cellar, and (
patent labor-saving invention does the
work with some human assistance. This
worker consists of a shallow tray.slight
ly slanting downwards that the milk,
water, &o., may run on through an
opening provided for the purpose. The
butter is placed in a large roll upon the
tray, and the roller, which works from
the lower to the upper side of the tray,
and back again, presents sixteen sharp
edges of wood to the surface of the
butter, mashes it flat, and divides it
crosswise into rolls. Before using the
worker both tray and roller are deluged
with Lot water. After the butter is
flattened out it receives a bath of cold
water, and is again rolled up to be
flattened out and squeezed again by the
roller until all the water and milk is ex
pelled. After this it is thoroughly
salted and roiled again.
I am sot good at technicalities, bo
hnd some difficulty in conjuring up ft
form of words in which to exactly der
scribe to you the' roller. I put the
question to a gentleman who belonged
to our pnrty. He was very distrait that
afternoon, though usually quick and
bright, and he hnd remarked in our
presence that in consequence ol the
Episcopal convocation now being held
here he supposed his wife would take
one of the ministers to her home to
spend a few days, so he didu t answer
an onee, and after being properly
budged to overcome his abstraction, lie
replied by ft conundrum
"What do you call a thing having
double the number of sides that an
octngon hns ?"
Of course I don't know ; how- should
I ? Then lie snid the roller hnd sixteen
edges inclined to ench other, nt nn
o' tuse nnglx, "but not so obtuse," he
added, "es if the sides were flnt."
" And not so obtuse," Bnid one of our
number, 'ns if its wife were expecting a
minister on a visit."
We saw the firkins in which the but
ter is packed for shipment, the return
pails, and the Welsh tubs-half a firkin.
But the best of all to us was when we
hnd delicious glasses of buttermilk
given ns. We were rather hurried, so
when the cottnge cheese wns handed ns
in a white china bowl we could not wait
for saucers, but a hole hnving been
scooped out in the middle of the cheese,
into which the richest morning's cream
wns poured, we dipped in with a spoon
npiece nnd devoured the most delicious
prepnration I, nt lenst, ever put in my
mouth. Irresistably I was reminded,
ns we sat under the shed dipping into
the bowl, of two months ngo, when a
larger pnrty were gathered in the par
lors of Mr. H. P. McGrath, at Mc-
Grnthinnn, drinking " hoidelphoi " out
of Snsan Ann's Schell clip. May I con
fess that I like cottage cheesq and
cream better than "hoidelphoi ?"
The Bishop nnd the Miners.
A good story is going the round of
some circles in Wolvei'hompton, Eng
land. It is snid thnt some time ago the
Bishop of Lichfield had been at church
in the Black Country, and, ns is often
the case with his lordship, instead of
riding in a carriage when returning, he
walked the distance between the church
and the railway station, or other place
to which lie was going. On the way he
met a number of men "squatting" to
gether on the ground, in miner-like
fashion, and he suggested to the gen
tleman who was accompanying him, that
they should say ft few words to those
men. This, also, is a favorite practice
with the Bishop, who is nlwnys ready
to offer a word in season whenever n
favorable opportunity presents itself.
Going, therefore, to the men, n conver
sation somewhat to the following effect
is alleged to have ensued: "Well, my
good men, what nre you doing?" fished
his lordship. " We bin a loyin , re
plied one of the number. " You are
lying," responded the Bishop, "lying,
what do you mean ? I do not under
stand you." "We bin a loyin'," again
said t!-;e mnn. " But what do you
mean?" " Why, yer see," was the ex
planation vouchsafed, "one on us has
fun a kettle, and we bin a trying who
can tell the biggest lie to have it."
" Trying to tell the bigsrest lie 1" ex
claimed the astonished Bishop, "what
a shocking thing ;" nnd then his lord
ship proceeded to inform he men that
he had always been brought up with the
greatest horror of lying ; he had been
taught that one of the greatest sins was
to tell a lie. The men listened patient
ly to this, but presently one of them,
vho had been looking intently at the
Bishop, suddenly exclaimed, on hearing
his lordship say' that he had never in his
life told a lie, " Gie th' governor the
kettle: gie the governor the kettle."
It is added that his lordship resumed
his walk, highly amused, though some
what "crestfallen."
The Vienna Comet.
Dr. C. H. F. Peters, of the Litchfield
Observatory of Hamilton College
has
announced in a letter to the Utica
Herald, his observation of the comet,
the discovery of which was announced
in telegrams from Vienna to Washing
ton. Dr. Peters writes':
" The comet discovered in Europe
on July 3, in tins constellation of Cetus,
was observed here thanks to the ar
rangement made through the Smith
sonian Institution for conveying im
mediate communication by Atlantic
cable i f astronomical discoveries. The
comet in the telescope is rather a large,
and not at ail faint object, with a hue
stellar point, or nucleus, ine coma
hows a brushy outline on the side
opposite the sun, and may develop into
a tail, if the comet should be on its way
to npproaching enrtfi and sun. linn,
of course, cannot be acertamed until
further observations furnish data suf-
ficent for computing the orbit. In that
case, it mny, perhaps, make some more
conspicuous display, even to the naked
eye. The position of the comet was in
fonr degrees and twenty minutes ot
right ascension, and four degrees nnd
forty-seven minutes of south declina
tion, moving daily a few minutes to
the south, increasing its right ascension
by about three-quarters of a degree.
The Dulles cf Common Carriers.
The last number of the Albany Law
Journal gives tho following report:
The Superior Court of New York, at
Generul Term, has affirmed the judg
ment of the court below, entered upon
a verdict for 5,000 in favor of the
widow Putnam, the victim of the cur
hook murder, against the Seventh
Avenue Railroad Company, for injuries
sustained through the murder of her
husband upon one of the company's
cars. The court ndhered to the doctrine
laid down in Goddnrd v. The Grand
Trunk Railroad Company, and kindred
cases, that a common carrier is bound,
"not only to guard each passenger
from violence and assault of its agents
and employes, but from the assaults and
violence of other passengers carried in
the same conveyance, and from other
causes of discomfort or injury which
could have bpen reasonably anticipated
or prevented." This is the only reason
able interpretation of the contract be
tween the enrrier and the passenger,
although unfortunately it is not that
given bv the Court of Appeals in Isaacs
v. The Third Avenue Railroad Company,
47 N. Y. 122.

Tho Case or lord Gordon.
What It U Abont.
The attpmntpd arrest of Lord George
Gordon in the North West has attracted
no little attention. United States
Consul Taylor hns published the follow
ing synopsis of the case, ue says :
Having in common with the entire com
munity, misapprehended the claim of
the legal right to arrest Gordon, and
the letters addressed to me on the
subject being in costody, I have availed
myself of information from Hon. E.
M. Wilson, from Minnesota, to present
n statement of the grounds which, if I
nm permitted to appear, I am prepared
to urge upon this court, and I feel,
therefore, justified in making the pres
ent publication. Gordon was arrested
in New York for embezzlement. Rob
erts released him from from prison by
becoming his bail for $37,500. Gordon
ran awny to Manitoba. As the bond
wns about to become forfeited, Rob
erts procures proper exemplifications of
the bail-piece and executes ft power of
attorney to Hay, authorizing him to act.
Hay, with the authority, goes with an
assistant to Manitoba and mnkes the
arrest by common law. A bail hns the
right to take his principal wherever nnd
whehever he can find him. When a
prisoner is released from prison, he is
considered in the continual custody of
his bail. This right is not controlled
by States or nationnl lines, but runs
wherever the common law exists, if the
right has not been taken away by statute
treaties, and extractions of laws have
nothing to do with tho question. They
relate to delivery for crimes. Gordon
is not sought on account of embezzle
ment, but to relieve Roberts of his lia
iiility. There is no process, no inter
national arrangement by which Roberts
can obtain him. No government de
mand can be legally made or responded
to for the purpose of restoring Gordon
to his bail. Roberts must take him by
his common law right. What Roberts
can do, his duly authorized agent can
do. ihe taking ol tiordon by liny was
no violation of law. The common law
right exists in Manitoba, uncontrolled
by any btatute. It has been frequentlv
ruled m the United States that the bail
had the right to come from one State
into nnother to take his principnl. The
jurisdiction of the different States are
is distinct as those of New York and
Manitoba, nnd it is rested wholly on
the common law principal, ennnllv in
torce here ns there. With this exposi
tion, I submit that the gravity of the
question involved, ns well ns the inter
ests of both countries required thnt nil
testimony which the defense is rendy to
show should be admitted, nnd asnn net
of international courtesy, that Wilson
may be heard during the present exam
ination. I think it not inappropriate
for me to add that from an examination
and knowledge of nil the facts, it will
appear that there was no intention on
the part of any one to violate the inter
national law or to insult this govern
ment, but that every one connected with
it sincerely believed that they were act
ing in accordance with their legal right.
Precautions Ajralnst Sleep.
With many celebrated men, the fear
that they might exceed their regular
hours of sleep amounted to a bugbear,
and prompted them to adopt odd con
trivances to awaken them at the right
time. "My old friend Rossiter," says
Mr. Owen, " fixed his alarm, so that, at
the foreordained moment, the bed
clothes were dragged from the bed and
Hossiter lay shivering. I have myselt
somewhere the drawiugs aud specifica
tions for a patent (which I never np
plied for), which arranges a set of cams
and wheel work under the bedstead,
which, at the moment appointed, lift
the pillow end six feet, and deliver the
sleeper on the now horizontal footboard.
He is not to sleep long after that. Ros
siter found another contrivance which
worked better. The alarm-clock struck
a match, which lighted the lamp wliich
boiled the water for his shaving. II
Rossiter stayed in bed too long, the
water boiled over upon his rozor, nnd
clenn shirt, nnd prayer-book his mother
gave him, nnd Coleridge's nutogrnph,
and his open pocket-book, nnd all the
other precious things he could put in n
basin underneath when he went to bed ;
so he had to get up before that moment
came." The Duke of Wellington olway
slept in an iron camp bedsteud eighteen
inches wide. " When a man wants to
turn over," he snid "it is time for him
to turn out." The Emperor Nicholas
did the same.
A Few Mistakes.
Although all's well that ends well,
there was for a time a littlo feeling of
uncomfortableness in the breasts of the
persons who met at tho Union Depot
in Albany on Friday. Tho Troy Timrs
tells -their story thus: "A lady and
boy were waiting evidently for the ar
rival of some friend ; the train came,
when a tall and bearded gentleman
alighted ; the lady took one look at him,
rushed into his arms, kissed him ami
introduced the boy. Then she hung
lovingly upon his arm while he looked
to his baggage. Just then nnother
gentleman npproached. He touched
her on the arm. She turned, gave a
screnm, and almost fainted. It seems
she had mistaken tho gentleman she
desired to meet, (whom elv) had
not seen for years,) nnd the one she met
was not surprised, for he, too, expected
to meet a l.idy, nnd ihouijht he had got
hold of the right person until that mo
ment. When the parties got straightened
out, nnd gentleman number one found
the lady he expected, they hal a good
laugh all around and went their several
ways.
Taper from Corn Husks.
U is said that the German paper
mnnutneturers have, of late, been very
successful in the production of paper
and cloth from com husks. The husks
are first boiled with nn alkali in tubular
boilers ; as a result of which the fibres
of the husks are found at the bottom of
the boiler in a spongy condition, filled
with gelatinous substance or dough,
which lutter is pressed out from the
fibres by hvdravuio process, leaving the
fibre in the shape of longitudinal threads,
interspersed with a dense mass of short
fibre. Linen that ia made from the
long fibres is said to furnish a very good
substitute for the coarser kinds of flax
and hemp, while it is superior to jute,
gunny cloth, and the like. The paper,
for which mostly the short fibres are
used the long fibres being employed
for spinning is stronger than the paper
of the same weight from linen or cotton
rags, and is Lard and firm in grain. It
is very durable, and can be made ex
tremely transparent, without sacrificing
any portion of its strength. The yield
of the husks employed for the purpose
is said to be 30 per cent, of fibre, 10 of
gelatine, and CO of dough.
A live tarantula, with a body two

A Fish Story.
The New Orleans Timet tells a sin
gular story of the danger incurred by a
boy who wns attacked by ft huge gar
fish whilebathingwith some companions
in the Old Basin Canal near that city.
It is as follows : They had b.-en in the
water but a few minutes, when one of
the bovs. n Ind nbout eleven years old,
wns attacked by a very lnrge gar-fish
ana came near losing nis me,- uri imm
drowning, and then from the effusion of
blood, resulting from the wound in
flicted by the teeth of the gar. The
fish is described by the lad ns hnving
been lnrge indeed, and judging. from
the boldness of the attack, nnd the
power manifested in the struggle, there
can be no doubt nut mat it musi imve
been all the boy described it to be. The
first intimation he hnd of the presence
of the fish wns seeing it dash at him.
In nn instnnt it cnught him by the arm,
nnd twice he wns dragged underneath
the water. Each time as he came to the
surface ho called to Lis companions to
save Lim.
The lacerated arm bled freely, and
the water for a considerable distance
around the- scene of the struggle was
crimsoned. Horrified at the sight, and
alarmed almost to stupefaction, it was
some moments before any of the boys
could make up their minds to go to his
rescue. .At lust an older brother of the
lad went to his relief, nnd we nre in
formed thnt it wns with no little diffi
culty that he succeeded in wresting him
from the jaws of the fish. The fish hnd
bitten him on the left arm nenr the
wrist, and the blood continued to flow
with such force nnd rapidity that it wns
feared he would bleed to denth before
nssistance could be had. An old lady,
however, happened to be passing at
that instnnt, nnd to stnunch the flow of
blood she tore strips from her dress,
and with them bound up the bleeding
arm. The question "has been raised
whether or not it was nn alligator, and
not a ear-fish, that attacked the boy.
The lad asserts it was n gnr, but re
centlv nllicators of considerable size

Fishermen Lost.
A Cape Cod paper gives some statis
tics of the loss of life and of vessels by
fishermen from Gloucester, Mass., dur
ing the past fonv-two and a half years,
It says: "There have been lost from
Gloucester since 1830, 1,251 lives and
281 vessels valued at nearly $1,500,-
000 in the fishing nnd coasting busi
ness, averaging upward of twenty-nine
lives and six vessels yearlv. Ihe value
of the vessels lost is $1,493,222 ; their
insurance SS22.19o. mostly in the local
offices. Ninety-two of these vessels
were lost iu the Georges fishery, a little
over one-third of the whole number;
fifty-six in the Bay of St. Lawrence
mackerel fishery,twenty-nine in theshore
mackerel fishery, twenty in the shore cod
fishery, twentv-three in the Urand and
Western B.ink fishery, eighteen iu the
Newfoundland herring fishery, two in
the Grand Menan herring fishery, one
in the Greenland halibut fishery, thirty
three in the coasting trade, six burnt
by the rebel priate Tacony, and one
pilot-boat lost in Gloucester harbor.
As there is no record of the number of
widows and orphans previous to 1858,
it is impossible to get at the correct
number, but it is probable they would
average about the same proportion as
those of tho last fourteen years the
number of married men being nbout
one-third of the whole number lost,
and averaging two children to a man
This would give, in round numbers.
400 widows and 800 f ltherless children
left destitute by the disasters of the
past forty-two years, an nverigo of ten
widows nud twenty chiidreu yearly.
which is not a large estimite.
Boys, Bead and Heed '1 his !
Many people seem to forget thnt chnr
icter'grows ; that it is not something to
put on, rendy made with womanhood or
manhood : but, tiny by day, here a lit
tie nnd there a little, grows with the
growth and strengthens with the
strength, until, good or bad, it becomes
almost a coat of mail. Look nt a mnn
of business prompt, reliable, con
scientioiis, yet elenr-headed and ener
tretic. When do you 6iiiipose he d:
veloped nil these admirable qualities
when he wns a boy ? .Let us see the
way iu which a boy of ten years gets u
in the morning, works, plays, studies
and we will tell you just what kind of
man he will make. The boy who is late
at breakfast, and late at school, stands
poor chance to be a prompt man. Ihe
boy who neglects his dnties, be they eve
so small, and then excuses himseit 1
saying, " I forgot ! I didn't think !" will
never be ft reliable man. And tlio boy
who finds pleasure in the suffering of
weaker things, will never be a noble,
generous, kindly man a gentleman.

The health-giving principles contained
in this curAtive are a more precious boon

diseases, it mny b relied upon. As a

we know of no other remedy thnt can
nccomplish this. Its entire freedom
from alcoholic Rpirit, which retards and
neutralizes the effect of any medicine,
and which forms the basis of many of
the pseudo bitters and tonics, doubly
enhances its value to the sick. The pa
pers of the United States vie with one
another in doing honor to Dr. Walker.
