Turn, Garden and Household. To Flow Down Grass. The Canadian Farmer snys : Not withstanding t lie utmost pains find care in plowing, the gross, especially if long will bristle up iu benrds and tufts here, there, and everywhere, injuring ulike the appearance of the field and its capa city for growth. Do you wish to reme dy this grent dilllcutly? If so, use the chain and ball to your plow. No matter what kind plow you have try them. A pieoe of trace chain will do very well. Fasten one end of it to your coulter, and to the other end nttach a round irou ball of from two to three pouuds weight leaving the chain long enough to permit the ball to reach back to about the middle of the moldbdard, and there let it drag alone! on the off side, of course. Drying nncl Cooking Sweet Corn. I gather the corn when it is large enough to eat, and cook about fifteen minutes ; then, with a sharp knife, cut the top off the kernel, scrape off the rest, leaving the hull on thecob; spread thin on plates and dry in a worm place near the stove ; it will dry in six hours; when thoroughly dry place in a tight sak (a paper flour sack is good), hang in a dry, cool place ; this needs no air ing to keep it from getting musty. When wanted for use, take a sufficient quantity, place in a pan with plenty of wafer, cold or warm, n5t hot ; let it soak over night ; set on the stove with the same water it soaked in ; let it cook slowly for 1 hours ; when nearly done, add a piece of butter, salt and pepper and sweet cream, if you like. If you want succofash, add to the corn about half as much well cooked beans. Beans are better soaked over night in cold water, then parboiled, and cooked slow ly in fresh wate-; when nearly done add salt, and season to taste. Influence of manure on Product!. Prof. Bache says: " Herbaceous plants and vegetables furnish numerous in stances of the influence of peculiar ma nures on the qualify of tlio products. The cheese and milk of certain locali ties are highly prized on account of the peculiar aroma of the grass in those localities. Besides this bad influence of odor ous nitrogenous manures on wine, we must bear in mind that this process re stores to the soil only a small portion of the potash consumed by the canes, the leaves, and the fruit, and that it also tends to exhaustion, since it returns to the soil but one-Qt'th or one-sixth of the amount of potash taken from it. More over, nitrogenous substances exclusively useu Hasten tlie decay ot vineyards and tne exhaustion of the soil. We have a report from Baron Von Liebig of the exhaustion of a vinevard at Bineren. on the Rhine, through the exclusive use of horn scrapings. The result at first seemed good, but after a few years the growth and production decreased rap idly. The extra growth induced by the born scraping had divested the Bo'il of all its potash without returnincr anv. Nitrogenous manures also increase in the grape in proportion of albuminous and inumlagmous matters, and corres pondinely diminish the saccharine the wine contains less alcohol, and is consequently wore subject to altera tion. In fact, sugar-producing plants never want strongly nitrogenous ma nures ; and svgar-makersare aware that beets manured with highly nitrogenous compounds although more bulky contain less sugar and more organic matter, to tne detriment ot the maim facturer. Domestic Recipe. Eecipb fob Cookiko Poke. Fresh' en thin slices of salt pork, then dip eacn slice in a well-beaten egg, and then in cracker crumbs, and frv a nice brown, and lay them on the platter as iree as possible Irom fat. We think this dish incomplete without fried eggs, and we keep eggs in shape in this way. Put well-greased muffin-rings on a well greased griddle, and when hot, break in the eggs, one in each ring, aud they will not spread as in the usual way of cooking. They will slip from the rings easily wneu done, if not, loosen by run niug a knife round tho edgo. Rice Waffles. To make rice waffles. take a teacup and a half of rice that has been well boiled and warm in a pint of ncli milk, stirring it till smooth and thoroughly mixed. Then remove it from the fire, aud stir in a pint of cold milk and a teaspoonful of salt. Beat four eggs very light, and stir them into tho mixture, in turn with sufficient rice flour to make a thick batter. Buke in a woffle iron. Send them to the table hot, butter them, aud eat them with powdered sugar and cinnamon, pre pared in a small bowl for the purpose. A Delicate Cake. The whites of four eggs beaten, one cup of sugar, one cup of flour, one half cup sweet milk, three tablespoon fuls of butter, one tea spoonful of soda and three teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Cleaning Paint. To clean paint in an expeditious manner, smear a piece of flannel in whitening, mixed to the con sistency of paste in warm weather, rub the surface to be cleaned briskly, and wash off with pure cold water. Grease spots will be in this way almost in stantly removed, us well as other filth, and the paint will retain its brilliancy and beauty unimpaired. JIow to Escape from a Buknino House. If a person in a house on lire lias the presence of mind to apply a wet cloth or handkerchief to his mouth aud nostrils, a passage can be effected through the densest smoke without any serious inconvenience. If possible en velope the face and head completely. Ink Stains. A solution of pyrophos phate of soda, it is said, will quickly remove fresh ink stains (old ones less so) without affecting the colors of the fabric, as is the result when oxalic acid, chloride of lime, or chlorine water are made use of. Doughnuts. Nutmeg, one egg, one cup of 6ugar, one cup of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the milk, two tea spoonfuls of cream of tartar sifted with the flour, of which use sufficient to roll and fry. X Consolation. Here is the way a Detroit man dove tailed sorrow and satisfaction into one another when his lamented but insured wife departed. Writing to the insur ance company, he says : " Dear Sir I take my pen in band to let you know that I am well, but that my dear wife, insured for $5,000 in your company, is no more. She died to-day. Her policy is No. . 1 can truly say that she was a fond wife and a good mother. I have the doctor's certificate, so that there will be no trouble about the policy. She was sick only a short time, but suf fered much. Do you give a check in advance, or must I wait sixty days for the money? Yours, eto." Who shall say that life insurance is not a good consoler 1 A Doctor's Treatment or Cholera, A correspondent. writinor from Franlr. lin, Ky., wheie the cholera has been raging, writes as follows of the treat ment by a looal doctor: There were several very obstinate cases, when the vomitiug.purging, and cramping was so violent the patient was unable to retain any medicine two minutes. He imme diately injected into each arm, by means of a hypodermic syringe, one-half grain of morphine, and in three hours, iu one case, as much as one and a half Brains were introduced into the system by this means. The result was. the vomitin? and purging were immediately arrested, aud the patient remained perfectly quiet ior nours, and enabled the ordinary means to act. I am not aware the doc tor claims any originality in this treat ment. Yet I have been unable to learn of any other's using it, and in every case where he resorted to this means the patient recovered, with but one ex ception ; and that, no doubt, was owing te some indisoretion of the nurses. Of course, this is only a part of the treatment, yet the doctor feels assured without the use of the hypodermic syringo and morphino the patient would have passed into the collapsed stage before any other remedies could have actdd ; and I feel fully assured any of the medical fraternity, where the epidem io has not been, desiring to learn more lnny the character of the disease here, and the treatment found most suooess ful, would be readily informed by the doctor, or by any other member of the profession here. Sane or Insnne. Mary Harris (who killed Burroughs, a clerk in the United States Treasury Department, some years ago, and was acquitted on the plea of insanity) has been Drought bacK to Washington from Pennsylvania, whither she fled after her escape' from he Government Insane Asylum across the eastern branch on the evening of the 5th instant. Infor mation was received by the Washington Detective Corps that Miss Harris was in Louisburg, Pa., where some friends were secreting her-. Two detectives were immediately dispatched to secure her. bue was traced from liouisburgto Philadelphia, and was finally arrested on one of the streets of that city. Upon her arrival at Washington she was at once taken to her old quarters in the asylum. It has been learned that she was aided in her escape from the asylum by an employe who was charged to watch her and who assisted her in scaling the wall. From the asylum she at once came to this city, pawned her wntcu, and left on tne nrst train Worth. Miss Harris was originally consigned to the asylum as an insane and dangerous person some time after the Burroughs trial. The detectives who brought her back say thut at present she seems to be perfectly sane, with no symptoms whatever f mental derangement, and that she says she will patiently wait for the liour ot ner rescue. A Martyr for Many. So rare, says the Loudon Daily Tele graph, is heroism in these clays of strikes and corners, of money-making and cotton-spinning, that we are now, more than ever, disposed to welcome a noble deed, and a nobler deed than that of Plate-layer Elliot we may go far to seek. Elliot was one of a gang who was repairing the metals of the London and Southwestern line near Surbitou, when the Exeter express came thunder ing along. The plate-lnyers, of course, dispersed, and were standing to let the train pass, when Elliot's- quick eye caught a heavy iron chain lying across the metals, and he saw that, in another moment, the train would leap from the line and roll down a steep embankment. With a courage as cool as that of the little midshipman who picked up and threw overboard a loaded shell, Elliot dashed forward and was just in time to snatch the obstacle from out of the path, and to avert a most terrible acci dent. He was just in time to save the lives of others, but he was just too late by a second to save himself. The buffer-board of the great express engine caught him as ha stooped with his heavy burden, and dashed him high into the air a corpse. For those who love a brave deed, the memory of Elliot, the plate-layer, will live long with that of Elson, the pilot, and Ford, the fire man. State of Education in Persia. The upper classes in Persia can gen erally read aud writo and cipher a little. Their learning seldom goes beyond that ; and there is a pious reason for their ignorance. The Cal ph Omar sa gaciously observed that " there was no need of any book but the Koran ; be cause whatever could by any possibility be good in literature was to bo found in it." Thus, although mauy of the Per sian Khans are almost as good scholars as American village children in the first year of their studies, yet writing is not only an art in Persia, but it is a distinct profession practiced by meerzas, sho go about with an inkhorn and a reed and are much esteemed. There can hardly be said to exist a Persian liter ature in modern times. There is a newspaper (a sort of court journal) printed ut Teheran, and now and then u rumbling tale, attributing marvelous deeds and gifts to kings, and chiefly occupied with " Nuploon " (Napoleon), funis its way into print and a limited circulation. There is no such person as a Persian publisher, and no such thing as a Persian bookseller's shop. Such ancient books as are read by the learned lire still mostly in muuuscript and bear a very high price. His Presents. Tho lato John H. EastUurn was a type of the Boston printer industrious, frugal, intelligent. His printing-office he bequeathed to three workmen who had been long in Ins employ ; fco.uuu gave he to the Franklin Typographical and other charitable societies, 810,000 to the Benevolent Fraternity of Churches. After providing amply for his widow and relations, the balance of his estate is given to tbe Boston Provident Socie ty, the income to purchase food, cloth ing, and fuel for the poor of that city. What we especially like in the old gen tleman's will is that he gave $1,000 to his friend, and everybody's friend, P. B. Shillaber " Mrs. Partington." Humboldt's Money. It is well known that Alexander von Humboldt died in a state bordering on poverty. His finan cial embarrassments were caused by his loss, in 1813, of the sum of nine or ten thousand dollars in gold, which the King of Prussia had presented to him. At the time it was believed that the mo ney had been stolen from the great savant, but the police were unable to find any clue to its disappearance. Strange to say, a short time since the gentleman cow living in the house for merly occupied by Humboldt, found the money in a small box among; some old rubbish in the cellar. How it got there puzzles Humboldt's intimate ac quaintances iiceedingly. Thoughts Worth Preserving. 1 Our resignation and our faith must not be merely general, but particular. It is in special instances we are put upon our trial. We must not say, I could endure another sort of vexation, but not this. I could bear a different annoyance, but not this. This is pre cisely the one which God assigns to us, and perhaps, for the very reason that we are bo intolerant of it. The duty of humble submission is as imperative un der this as under any other trial. The privilege of faith isa s great under this as under any other. The promises of the Gospel ore not excluded from this case. Could we look into the reasons of state in the mediatorial kingdom, we should see that we are visited with this annoyance rather than any other lot a definite purpose, and that of indne graoe. When this purpose is ac complished, it will assuredly be remov ed.. W. Alexander. . A sense of uselessness is one of the severest trials of old age. It is a com mon complaint of old people that they feel themselves to be a burden and in the way, and they are no longer capable of active service in the cause of God. It is not for them to argue about the pro vidence which still keeps them in the world. For themselves it may be that atience may have her perfect work, and that a rare and illustrious finish may be put upon their character. For others also that their large experience may be the heritage of tho youth, and that the good of the past may be brought down and welded on to the present. Past ages have produced valiant Christian heroes, and the present has leed of them. The faith of the saints will not be suffered to live without mo lestation now any more than heretofore. It matters little whether the assailant be a ribaldatheist, or a cultured skeptic of some modern school, " the faith " passes through a continuous struggle toward its final victory, which victory will most surely come. A millennial day may dawn, but it is not yet. The forces of evil will doubtless all be sub dued, but they die hard. No victory comes before the battle. Some children and some foolish grown-up people think it very smart to deceive others, and even frighten them " for fun." Sometimes such fun turns out very seriously. Hear what the Bible says about it : As a madman who casteth fire-brands, arrows and death, so is the man thet deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?" Prov. xxvi. 18, 19. une may live as a conqueror, or a king, or a magistrate, but he must dio a man.- The bed of death brings every human being to his pure individuality, to the intense contemplation of that deepest and most solemn of all relations, the relation between the creature and his Creator. Webster, But every gaod man is not born with tho gilt of speech. There are deep minded, devout and earnest Christians wlio can do everything else better than to address a mixed assembly. Thev are constitutionally timid, and slow tongued ; there is pure gold within them, but they cannot coin it readily into current words. The Secret Drawer, Says the Milwaukee iVews : " A gen tleman residing on the South Side, and for many years a resident of Milwaukee, is in daily expectation of the arrival of an aunt, on a short visit, the history ot whose later years surpasses anything in fiction. She was born and reared in New England, and has lived there all her lifetime, being now past sixty years of age. She married in early life to Captain Knight, a seafaring man, and bore him sous and daughters, several of whom are living, niocried and comfort ably settled. About sixteen years ago her husband sailed on his final voyage to Cuba, and no word from him, his vessel, or crew, has ever been received since. The ship undoubtedly founder ed and carried down all ou board. Mrs. Knight struggled on a few years, reared her children, who remained home at the time of her misfortune, and, in do ing so, exhausted the last remnant of property left by her husband, and final ly broke down in health under the ac cumulated weight of years, misfortune, and poverty. Her youngest sou, just married, furnished her a home for a short time, and then refused to shelter her longer. Her other children each in turn declined to burden themselves with ' mother's support,' or to do any thing towards procuring her a home. She dually came on the town as a pau per, and was knocked off to the lowest bidder for her support, and was for several years a poor old broken-hearted creature, unable to more than knit stockings and assist in tending child ren. Previous to becoming so utterly destitute, she had sold off her furni ture, piece at a time, to keep the wolf from the door,' and, among other arti cles, sold her husband's old secretary to a townsman and acquaintance. He used it a few years, aud then knocked it to pieces as rubbish. In doing this, he found iu a secret drawer a paid-up insurance on Captain Knight's life for ten thousand dollars in the ilStna Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. Being an honest man, and knowing Mrs. Knight's location and destitution, he hunted her up, took her to Hartford, and she actually procured the payment of the entire sum. The officers of the company informed her that her husband paid one hundred dollars as advance iremium just before sailing, and they lad long been waiting for the presenta tion of the policy for payment. Her graceless children ware not long in hearing of 1 mother's ' good fortune, and have been vieing with each other ever since in kind attentions to the old ludv,aud pressing her to come and live with them, and make their houses her home. &o.. so. one has seuse enough, however, to take such professions for what they are worth, and has resolved to maintain her independence to the end of her days. The name of Mrs Knight's nephew is known to all old settlers in the Eighth Ward.and is at the service of any one who doubts mis state ment." He Could See.

Ibom Pollers' Strike. A strike at the Milwaukee Iron Company's rolling mill was inaugurated not long since. The employees hold out, and both parties are resolved not to yield. This throws over 1,000 men out of employment, Tha strike is not for wages, but on ao count of the discharge of some unrully members. The Dollar we Don't 8pf nd. We have to calniilate pretty close ot our house, you know ; and the whole family ore called into council wnen any important 'expenditure is to be made. Well, the other evening we were consid ering the small remnant of the quarter's salary, and Mrs. Dobbs wos trying to reckon how it could be made to cover everything. There was her new dress, and o new coat for me, and a new car pet for the beBt parlor, and a new hat for our (at present) unmarried daugh ter, besides a great many other things, with which I will not occupy your valu able space. The main point was the new dress, and Mrs. Dobbs was think- ing of this shade, and scrutinizing that pattern, wishing she could buy them all, uouuung II sue COUld ouy any oi ineui , and our faces grew longer as the salary grew shorter. Presently, with one of my happy inspirations, I said to her: " Mrs. Dobbs, there is no dollar that does yon so much good as the one that you don't spend." She looked at me a little perplexed, and presently she said: " Why, doctor, 1 don t understand you. So I said: " The handsomest dress is the one you don't buy." "On, yes, that s true." xne nest corn uaa iuuy matured, tne grass dress I ever had was the silk that Mrs. caterpillars" suddenly made their ap- Largehead gave me when she came from rmladelphia. It couldn t nave cost less than " Mrs. Dobbs." said I, interrupting her; "the handsomest and everyway the best dress is the one thut you don t have. She was more puzzled than ever, and I was forced to explain. " Mrs. Dobbs," said I,' " all the dres ses you ever bought have worn out, haven't they ?" ; "Yes," said she, very promptly, " all of them, I haven't a decent thing to my name. There is my bombazine " "Wait a moment," I said, for I was mortally afraid to have her get up that topic; "and did you ever buy a dress, did you ever lmve a dress anyway, that you didn't have somo misgiving over; that you didn't see some defect in ; that you didn't rather wish that you had bought the other?" "I believe you are right," she said, thoughtfully. "But," I said, " the dress that you didn't buy has no faults ; you never are tired of it ; it jiever grows old ; never fades ; never wears out ; you never wish you had chosen some other ; or if you want to change, how easily the change is made." " Why, yes," says Mrs. Dobbs, " I never thought of that before. "And so." said I, "of your dollar. You never spent a dollar in your life that you didn't feel at least a doubt as to whether vou had spent it wisely. You wish you had bought something else. But the wish was vain ; you couldn't make a change. The dollar that vou snend vou can spend but once. but the dollar that you don't spend you can spend a hundred times. You can buy a dozen things with it every time you go out. If you are dissatisfied with any of your purchases, you can go back and begin all over ngain. And so," I continued, "the dollar that you don't spend does you a great deal more good than the dollar that you do spend; and better than all, it brings with it no regret, no misgivings, even Mrs. Dobbs looked as though she didn't know just how to answer me, but at tho same time as though she wasn't quite convinced. Presently, she said: " Well, doctor, I don't know that I dad flirnncrli if. nil lint, no rlnnl-r. tnn nrn -;,vi,t rnn mi irront Aoa wiBr than I am. And so, we will go on that principle.

Our correspondent in Gadsen county, Florida, writes as follows : " During the present week I have re ceived reports from tbreo different sec tions of the country announcing the ap pearance of the dreaded caterpillar. These are doubtless sporadic cases, and furnish no basis upon which to predi cate any ultimate result. While upon the subject I will state a fact, which is at least suggestive, and may lead to good results. Some years ago I was in formed by Prince Murat (now deceased. but who then resided on his plantation located fourteen miles east of Inllnlias se,) that his crops of cotton hod been for several successive years proteoted from the ravages of the caterpillar by me luverveunuu ui miuimum uuao m the common "blackbird," which preyed voraciously upon theso pests of the cot- ton field. The secret advent to that lo- calify he attributed to the fact that his negroes were in the habit of cultivating small patches of rioeiu the damp places, occurring in different portions of the plantation. As a confirmation of his statement, i win Btace a iacs -wmcu came under my own observation during the past year. About the time that my pearance in the fields, aud were rapidly destroying tne young grass, wnicu we highly value for fall pasturage. I ob- served ot the same timo that a large flock of domestic turkeys with their young came up of an evening with their craws very mucu aisienuea. (suspect ing the cause, I determined to watch them, and found to my great gratifica tion that they were feasting upon the caterpillars. In the course of a day or two not a worm could be seen, and the pasturage was saved. These facts sug gest the idea of introducing into the cotton region the "English sparrow," which, I understand, has proven an ef fectual safeguard to the ornamental trees in the vicinity of many of the Northern cities. From the reported habits and great fecundity of these birds, I entertain but little doubt that if extensively introduced, they would, in the course of a very few years, prove an enective antidote to the advent oi this great enemy of the cotton plant. Department of Agriculture. About Alligators. All our alligators, says a Galveston, Texas, paper, as well as the crocodiles of the topics, are oviparous. They are gregarious iu their habits, although they do not seem to act iu concert in ob taining their prey. During the winter season the alligators remain in a state of torpor, buried generally in the mud of the marshes and bayous. llie hrst warm weather restores their suspending vitality, and a few may then be seen sunning themselves on logs and other floating debris. They nsh principally during thenight and lie in the sunshine half asleep on the surface of the water during the day. A splash in the water, or any slight noise in fact, will instantly arouse their attention, and as their curiosity is great they will slowly swim here and there to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. The whine of a puppy seems to excite them more than aught else ; why, I can not tell, for it is equally efficacious where dogs have never previously been and where it were impossible to suppose the alligators had ever heard them. The resemblance to the noise or bark of their young has been said to be cause ; but such reasoning is fal lacious as at seasons when their young no longer bark, they are equally attracted by a whine. Their ferocity and other Jdangerous qualities liave been very greatly overrated and exaggerated. That they are extremely voracious is unquestionable ; but the 7 generally confine their ravages to fish and other small prey. lhe harrowing tales of families being devoured by them are the " veriest coinage of the brain," and have in reality no existence whatsoever. A street in Dubuoue is paved with lead ore, the refuse of an old mino in the vicinity, and the inhabitants are carrying away the road piecemeal as mineralogical specimens. Medicaid Maniacs. There are nam bers of medical men so wedded to the old formulas, that all changes seem to them like innovations. These medical maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of much mischief in this practical age, While the vinegar Hitters are curing Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti pation, and countless other diseases that defy the remedies of the pharma copoeia, it is impossible to thrust down the throats of lutelligent invalids " neroio doses oi mineral poison, or to p.irsuade them to take adulterated alcohol, impregnated with cheap astrin gents, as a " healing balm " or a " bal samic preparation." Vinegar Bitters, a pure botanical tonic, aud alterative. guiltless of the curse of distilled or fermented liquor, is actually accom plishing what the mineral and alcoholic cure-mongers have so mcessantly prom ised but have never yet performed. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that this medicine has taken precedence of all those burning fluids mis-called tonics. Com. & Rhode Island paper pathetically appeals for protection to the clams. It says they are diminishing in numbers from year to year. Reduction of Rates. There is no one thing which the press iu the large cities of the country has been more uniform and persistent in than in their persistent advocacy of such reduction in the premiums charged for lile insurance as would bring that protection from want within the reach of every family. The National Life Insurance Company of the United States of America, E. A. Rollins, Presi dent, Jay Cooke, Chairman of Finance Committee, capital larger tuan tnat ot any other life Company in the world, has placed its rates at about three-quarters of those charged by most compa nies, and wants an agent in every local ity.
