Farm, Garden and Household. Treatment of an Orchnrd. L. 0. Ln.Tton, Amity, N. Y., writes s 1 Jiave a benntiful young orchard of rrlc-frce, Tthicb. eppenr n floe and llirifty-looliiiig ns any that I ever saw And yet, t Ley do not lenr fruit to any exletit. I see from the columns of your excellent 1'nj.er tlint lime, is recomfnen ded for the purpose. But my object in this witiiiR is for information as to he quantity to be applied, and whether it should be air-slacked or not. Also, if it would not prevent tue borers from Pe"in?nintby applying a quantity avonnd the trunks of said trees? I wash my trees every spring with potash, and yet am bothered vt-ry much with the borers. I think they would have 1 wined the whole orchard if I had not worked faithfully and energetically in destroying them. It is under a beauti nil swnrcl, aiid I wish to keep it thus. The ground is kept rich by stable manure, but none is allowed against the trunks of the trees. Sometimes I yut coul ashes and sometimes wood aiimnd tncm. Can see no virtue in ccal ashr.s, and no benefit from them, tsuept as a mulch." Ueply. The unfmitfnlness is doubt is due to the vigorous growth of wood. There cannot be both wood growth and fruit. Lime and ashes are ervicenble to induce a growth of wood, but, are not of much service to produce fruit. The beRt plan would be to re frain from any further manuring, and to prune the trees ir the spring after they have leaved, which will have the effect to check the growth of wood and to turn tbj Rnp to the fruit-buds. The pruning should be either by pinching tlie ends of tho shoots or. by cutting away some of the superfluous wood. It lequires a good deal of judgment to prune successf ully, and some good work, as Hurry's "Fruit Garden," should be onrefully studied, so that the principles on which pruning is per formed 1)0 thoroughly understood. It is probable, however, that the stoppage of further immuring; and a moderate pruning of the young growing wood just before blossoming would be sufflci-t-iit to induce very awi-ly fruiting. The borer must bo guarded against with constant watchfulness. JJenps of wood nshes or coal ashes around tho tree will be of some good eileot, as will ulso kill ing the worms by thrusting a sharp wire into the hules they have made. To Organize a Farmer' Club. Call together your neighbors at the pchool-houso (with llio consent of the Trustees) or at your own home. Seleit a Chairman and Secretary ; propose a top:c for consideration and discussion ; let one mau tn!k at a time and the rest listen ; give each one a chanae to talk ; adjourn, to meet again ou some other farm, after h-..ving fixed upon a subject for discussion at the next meeting. This is the simplest, most direct, and quick est way of organizing a club. No by laws or constitution is really necessary. If the club grows and becomes influen tial, as it will, and it is found that the men who say the least do the most talk ing, and it is therefore desirable to limit them ai to the time consumed and the frequency of their speeches, a mo tion that speeches be limited to ten minutes uvoept by general consent, will usually pass and prove effectual. The least cniulx -rnotno you make your or ganization by loading it down with con stitution and rules, the more work will be accomplished. Of course start such a club. Induce the wives and boys and girls to attend by appointment. Meet on some Saturday. Make it a picnic. Don't get up a strife among yourselves about mtei'taiument. Let nil join in being useful ; seek to secure knowledge and elicit facts, and have a good time. Let it be remembered that tho most ig norant man in any neighborhood pos sesses some wisdom which may be cul tivated and become useful, by just such means for development as farmers' clubs have always proved to be. Three Tons ot liny per Arre. Mr. George Geddes reports that he cut and drew eig'.ty loads of timothy and clover liny from nineteen acres, and that an average load weighed l.ZOO pounds; thus the whole field must have yielded three tons per acre. He also reports Mr. Swaby, of Seneca Falls, as having drawn forty loads from twelve acres of clover. These were cer tainly lino crops, but it must be re membered that hay a drawn from the field will shrink from ten to twenty per cent., and that these three tons will not weigh out more than two and one half tons, at roost, in winter. Mr. Ged des also cut a second crop of clover seed of three to six bushels aii acre. He thinks the land can stand this sort of cropping by making clover and timothy the principal crop to be fed out on the farm or pastured off year after year. He instauces tho fact that, probably, this crop on this nineteen acres is the lar gest that has ever been cut on it. We doubt the soundness of this the ory, whatever mar be the fact of this particular piece of land. There must, certainly, be carried off in seed and flesh of animals much fertility, and this is not replaced by tho manure returned. This laud, by good cultivation, may have abundant fertility to supply crops for a life-time, but tue end must come unless the mineral constituents are re turned, in some form, to the soil. liural JJome, The Hop Trntle. Just now, says a hop circular, the Lop trade is attracting the attention of producers. Hops areheld at 45 to CO cents in the hop districts. Buyers are offering 40 to 45 cents. The foreign prospects have im- E roved, and the crop abroad is much etter than it was supposed it would be a month ago. California hops have sold in this market at CO cents per pound, but the quality was superb: Foreign iiopa are being imported, and domestic buyers are only taking, at the present prices of holders, just what they are compelled to to keep things moving. The maxim among shrewd farmers is to sell their produce whenever they can make a good profit on the capital and labor invested in a crop by doing so. We have known quite as much money lost in the aggregate by "holding on " after a fair oiler had been made as by "letting go." Hops at 45 to 50 cents per pound ought to yield the farmer profit enough, and the wise man will not hold them long after receiving an offer of such prices. Wholesale Abbest of Counterfeit ers The United States Government Marshals in East Tennessee and west ern North Curolina made simultaneous arrest o! v largo number of personi s en gaged in tho sale and passing of couu terfeit money. The secret service de tectives have been on the trail of their victims for the last five laontbs. The East Tennessee prisoners were taken to Kuoxville. ' The Turkish Minister of F.liea has just issued a positive order interdict, lug ladie from going into stores for tlie purpose of making purchases. A Bold Bobbery. Nearly four toilet below the village of Catskill, on the west bank of the HnoV on, resides Abraham Post, a worthy, well-to do farmer. At about 6:30 p. it., a few days since, Mr. Pest, Lis wife and daughter (the latter about, twenty-two years of age), Lis son Edward, and their hired man, on Irishman, were quietly eating their supper, when the door leading from the main hall to the dining-room was abruptly pushed open and six men entered and rushed up to the table. Each one of the Bcoundrels drew a revolver, Rnd leveling llio wea pons at the Lead of each member of the family, werned all to keep quiet or they would blow their brains out. While five of the robbeVs thus hold the five inmates of the house quiet, the 6ixth one drew four pairs of new hand cuffs from underneath his coat and in regular order snapped the bracelets upon every person at the table exoept the daughter. The latter showed no fear, but while the handcuffing was pro greasing gave the thieves such a severe "talking" to, that finally, becoming exasperated, one of the robbers etepped np to her and said i " Well, yon are so sassy, I guess we ll handcuff yon, too," and the scoundrels handcuffed the whole family together, including a colored girl, who entered the dining-room at the tima. Not feeling perfectly safe even then, the thieves procured a bed cord and firmly tied that around the entire family, and then one of them stood guard over the captured group while tho others commenced to ransack the house. They entered every room in the building, tore open bureau drawers, broke open trunks, smashed locks ou closets, aud secured about $2,000 in money and valuables. For over one hour the thieves re mained in the house, stealing whatever they could lay their hands on in the way of valuables. They even approached their bound victims laughingly, and toook rings from their fingers and put them on their own. They also sat down to the supper-table and ate all they wished to. While they were eating, Edward Post endeavored to free him self. He told them he had seen two of them the clay previous at the Catskill Fair, and one of them replied : " Well, what of it ?" When they got all they wanted, they, bade tho family good night and departed. For one hour afterward the imprisoned men and wo men tried to free themselves, and finally the son did get loose, when he started for Catskill Village, and told his story. The Sheriff and others repaired to the scene as quickly as possible, and with the proper keys succeeded in releasing all. Immediutelv tlio tcrtiiva nf ! telegraph wires were impressed, and a oiiiLeaieiii, 01 iue sase was seni to ail rjromiuent nniuts. tncrprlipr with on nDuv by Mr. Abraham Post of 81,000 reward I for the arrest of the rascals. None of i the family were injured. ! Rattle Hctwppu a Mouse and c Tarantula. Three or four hours after the battle between the tarantula and tho scorpion, the tarantula was stirred up and found to be as sprightly as ever, to a!l appear ances having suffered no bad efl'ects from the stings that had been given him by tho scorpion. A sprightly little mouse was now put into the bottle, and kb he entered the tarantula bristled up spitefully nud commenced the attack. Walking toward the mouse quite rapidly, ho gathered Limself, when within a short, distance, and jumping into the air, descended upon the back of his mouseship and seized him by the back of the neclt, encircling him with his long legs. The mouse evidently had not comprehended the situation until now. Over aud over they rolled, with all the advantage in favor of the taran tula. In about two minutes the spider let go, and both went to their corners. Afrer they had rested the bottle was tipped, and encouraged by his success in the first round, the tarantula again made the attack. The mouse exhibited "game," and dodging the tarantula, which tried to regain its former hold upon the mouse's neck, seized the spider in his teeth just as the latter fastened his fangs into his back. The mouse sunk his teeth into the body of Lis foe, and blood spurted out quite freely. This was more than the tarantula had looked for, and vainly ho tried to shake the mouse off. After he had Lad his bite " out," another rest was taken. During the three hours that they were in tho bottle together, about twenty rounds were fought, in four of which the mouse bit the tarantula through the body. The bites of the spider did ut.t sreni to affect the mouse injuriously. When the last ttriiggle ended, the tarantula retreated to his end of the bottle, keeled over upon his back, and, after a few convulsive kicks, expird. The tarantula was overhauled after he died, and his fangs measured a little over a sixteenth of an inch in length. The mouse was as lively as ever next morning, nud when last seen had suc ceeded iu getting out of his prison and was sitting on end, making a meal of something he had foraged. Winter and the Pooi, There ore signs already abroad of a hard winter for the poor, and for a por tion of the laboring class. The busi. ness panic and tho shrinkage of values are causing considerable numbers of manufacturers and employers of labor to discharge their workmen, especially in the trades directly or indirectly con nected with railroad's. Other branches of production, that have no immediate connection with railroads, aro cutting down expenditures and reducing their laboring force, partly because they are not making their own collections easily, and partly because they wish to be ready for the new state of prices soon to commence. The recent dead-lock in moving products will bring back its re action lor months to come. The West ern dealers who were indebted to East cm merchants and forwarders have been unable to meet their obligations, and delay and caution have obstructed the links of commerce and exchange all the way through. The final loss will come on labor at both ends of the chain. This can last but a short time. Busi ness will soon recover. Tho poor will be ultimately better off, as they will eu joy " hard-money " prices and a stable currency. All that they buy will cost less, though their own labor may com maud apparently lower wages. Specie currency is the blessing of the laboring class. But during the transition, and in recovering from this temporary stop page of business, our benevolent com munity must expect to assist the poor est of the working classes. Children must not be left houseless, or to suffer for bread, or to grow up exposed to temptation and crime. Let each be nevolent person resolve that his own misfortunes shall not dry up his little benefactions, but that something shall go still from his superfluities for the aid of the hungry, naked, houseless, and neglected, A Frightful name. The yellow fever has been confined lo no particular locality, and tich and poor have suffered alike, says a letter from Memphis. Nor do the citizens void any particular spot except Happy Hollow, where the plague is said first to have broken out a miserable, tumble-down place inhabited by the very poor, and how looked upon as a verit able Gehenna. Here at the very start ing of the disease there gteat suf fering, for the people were not able or indeed willing to call in medioal assist ance. It seems now that them Veia some thirty depths before the sanitary ai'.thorities made theirformal announce ment that the pestilence was upon us, and then it had obtained a sure foot hold. The disease begins with a chill and a pain in thehend, back, and limbs, which is often followed by delirium. The stomach will not retain food, and feels as though it was on fire. The face is puffed and swollen like that of a con firmed drunkard, and the eyes are red and extremely sensitive to light, and gradually the orange or darker hue characteristicof the disease extends to neck, breast, and extremities. The per son attacked, is often remarkably rest less, changes his position constantly, and his face assumes n look of intense nervous anxiety or is fierce and threat ening. Then comes an abatement of the symptoms, the shin grows moist end coel, pain partly vanishes; nud the patient is apparently growing well. The third state is one of prostration; tho pulse becomes more frequent and fee ble, and the skin darker, the tongue is large aud moist, or brown and dry, or smooth, red, fissured, and bleeding. The stomach again becomes irritable, the vomiting is often incessant, and the matter ejected contains dark flakes which, if the case goes on, gradually be comes the terrible "black vomit," which looks like a mixture f coffee grounds or soot. Low, muttering delirium su pervenes, and in a few hnurs the victim dies. In connection with one of the re lief societies it has been my Unhappy fortune to witness many such cases of snffering aggravated by all the horrors of squalor aud poverty; the black vomit, would plash hour after hour into basins or against the wall near which the suf ferer lay, in some cases deserted by all his family, for the terror occasioned by the disease readily takes the form o'f panic fear and overcomes all sense of moral obligation and natural affection. One of our city officials refused the oth er day to attend the funeral of his own mother, for fear of being attacked by the fever. Indeed this is not to bo won dered at, although attendance on the sick is by no means necessarily fatal. No one comes to the city who can possi bly escape doing so, and there ara many noble men and women who have devoted their'whole time to the infected. The efforts of the Howard Association in this direction are beyond all praise. It has supplied 20 nurses, and its daily expen diture is at least SI. 400. The'Masons, the CMd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and the secret socioties generally, have fulfilled their best mission to the best of their ability, and now find themselves ia desperate need of money to continue as they have begun. Yes, as I Baid be fore, money and supplies are coming in rapidly from all sections of the country, and now that the plague .is abating its tnry, there will doubtless be little more trouble in this respect, though sow the need i pressing. Hints About Di-essen. A single row of trimming straight down the middle of the front breadth of the skirt is very stylish. For in stance, a row of" shell pleating, of cut steel buttons, or else three or four of the new bows made of long loops of doubled silk, with the ends finished with an ornament like the head of tassels, or the funnel-shaped affairs that suggest the upholsterer's ornaments on cur tains. Horizontal and diagonal tablicrs are newer than those made of several per pendicular bands or puffs. The cross wise tabliers are reversed pleats, or else careless-looking folds, tacked on each width, or else groups of crescent-shaped foids with bands of jet trimming e tween each group. Diagonal tabliers are merely piped bands of the material of the trimmiug, or else shirred puff. Throat knots, side knots fastened on the left of the belt, or else a knot with long ends for the front of the waist, are ornaments found on French dresses. They are sometimes made of watered ribbon, especially on black dresses, but ore most frequently of doubled silk, two or three inches wide when finished. New sashes of black volvet aro two long straight pendent streamers, trimm ed with lace and jet, or else fringed, while half-way down them a pretty lit tle pocket is simulated. Sashes of wide ribbon are now worn directly in the middle of the back, and consist of two long ends with the top laid over the flat loops, that avoid giving a bouffant ap pearance. Tortoise-shell buttons, very large and exquisitely carved, are just intro duced for trimming suits of camel's hair, velvet polonaises, jackets, etc. White silk tabliers, wrought all over with "white jet" frosty-looking white beads are to be used for ball dresses of white aud pale-tinted silks. Demi-trained skirts of dinner dresses are without over-skirts, but are trimm ed with three kinds of trimming. The back breadths are flounced from the belt to the edge, the side breadths are covered by along square-cornered width of satin or velvet tacked flatly to the skirt, and the frout breadths Lave a tablier of reversed pleats or else tf di agonal bands. Sleeveless basques of light blue or pink silk, with insertions of Valencien nes lace let in the silk, or worn owr dinner dresses of black fcilk. The long heavy over-skirts'now worn are sewed to the belts of the lower skirts, making only two pieces in the costume that is, the basque and skirt. In such cases the ovr-skirt must open behind, just as the lower skirt does. Ladies will find it a good plan to tack the new over-skirts (iu several places in the seams) to the lower skirt, since the simple straight breadths now used are easily blown out of place, and the beau ty of the costume impaired thereby. In some plaiu but extravagant dresses the Ions straight breadths are made of doubled silk. This, however, seems useless expense, as a deep facing is quite sufficient.

What It I Proposed to nbstltuta for the Present Electoral Collage, The U. S. Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections is Composed of two Republicans aud one Democrat. The Pcheme lately put forth by the committe, looking to such an alteration of the orgaoto law that the present mode of electing President and Vice President will bo abolished, exhibits, therefore, tho opinion of representative men of both of the great nolitical rati tie. riesonted to tho Senate as "the product of an unanimous committee, it is not likely to create a serious division in that body certainly not a party di visionand we may, thereSore, regard it as a foregone conclusion that within the next three years, and before the next Presidential election takes place, the Eleotoral College will be nbolished, and a direct vote for President and Vice-President by the people on this plan ordered. The scheme proposed by the committee, however, dos not con template the erasure of .State lines. While the people will vote far Presi dent instead of electors, the relative power of the States, as in the present system, will be preserved. Each State will be divided into as many districts as it is entitled to representatives in Con gress, composed of contiguous territory, and ns nearly equal in population as may be, and the person having the highest number of votes for President iu each district will be considered to have one district vote for President. Each State will also have two votes at large. The person who sha.1 have the highest number of district and State votes shall be President. A majority of all the votes, as in the Electoral College, is not required, and the contingency of an election by the House of Representatives is thus avoid ed. In practice this plan would work as follows : The State of New York, with its present population, would be divided into thirty-two districts. Dis trict number one would probably be composed of Queens, Richmond and Suffolk counties, as at present, and on the day appointed for the election the people of tho district would assemble ut their respective polling places and vote directly for any persons whom they pleased for President and Vice Presi dent. At the close of the poll the re turns might stand thus : Hendricks, (5,000; Grant, 5,000; Banks, 4,000; Morton, 3,000 ; scattering, 2,000. In this case Hendricks would have the "Presidential vote" of the district, which would count "one" for him in the genera! count. The same process would obtain in each of the other thirty one districts. Thus in the general count the State of New York might east for Hendrics 13 district votes, Grant 10, Banks 4, Morton 3, scattering 2, and Hendricks having the largest pop ular vote in the State, would have two additional Presidential votes added to the number given above. On a stated day Congress would collect all the dis trict Presidential votes and the State Presidential votes, and the person hav ing tho largest number of such votes would be declared to be President ; the same provision being applied to the choice for Vice President. Ocean Monsters: Lsst month while an American bark was on its way to Norway she became in the vicinity of tho Upper Loffodon Islands. Suddenly the sea was seen at a short distance to heave tumultuously as if moved from a profound depth. Suspecting the presence of whales, the officers of the ship took the precaution to place the crew at the sidesof tke ves sel armed with grappling irons and mus kets loaded with ball. Soon afterwards fifteen enormous marine monsters were seen swimming toward the ship. One of them with half its body out of the water passed the side of tke vessel, and as it did so it was riddled with balls from the muskets of the crew. The shots killed it instantly. An examina tion of the prize showed that it was not a whale, as had been thought, but that it was a specimen of the cetacean fami ly, known as tho physetermicrops, the latter application being given t it be cause of the Muailness of its eyes. This species is the most terrible, the strong est, aud the swiftest of the formidable uiammifers which frequent the waters of the Arctic seas. It is prompt and audacious in combat, aud seeks its prey with ferocious avidity. The re cognized monarch of the polar seas, it pursues, attacks, and devours the strong est of its kind. With its powerful teeth, sharp, conical, and bent inward toward the throat, this monster tears its prey to pieces, and.Jon occasions, in ordor to secure possession of a seal, will crush enormous blocks of ice upon which the latter may be floating. The specimen killed by the American crew was louud to measure over seventy-five feet in length, and its bHlk, as it lay upon the water, equalled that of a medium-sized bark. Cruelty to Animals. During n recent visit to England, says Dio Lowis, I was surprised and pained at the many evidences of cruelty umong the people. I stood on tho cor ner of Regent and Oxford streets two hours, and counted the number of cuts received by horses. It was 408, aud tho whips used by the cab-drivers there are very severe. When I returned to America, I spent the first two spare hours (which happened to be the busi est on the street) on the corner of Broadway aud Canal streets, in New York, aud couuted the number of whip cuts within the range of my vision. It was 14, nud the whips used by the aew lorn drivers are nothing compared with those used by London drivers. During seven weeks in London I saw a woman beaten by a mau in the street nine times. i nave never witnessed such brutality in America. The new game of Polo on horseback, inaugurated last summer in the pres. ence ot royalty and uncounted nobility, on the Grand Park at Windsor Castle, I witnessed. Tha ruel tortures to which the beautiful uouies were sub jected would not be permitted in the Unibed States. Not only would ladies and lespectable men refuse to look on aud approve, but the authorities would bo compelled to interfere. Still, in some of the highest ladies' sclioois m England grown women are whipped, and in the colleges the beat ing of the younger bovs by the older would not be submitted to by American savages. It is not matched by anything in niBtory. A Good Reply. It is related that up on one occasian, when Commodore Judkius was in command of the Scotia, a fussy little gentleman came to him just as the steamer was leaving Liver pool, and asked him if he thought the Sootia would arrive in New York upou a certain day in time for Mm to eteh the noon train for Philadelphia. Jud kius looked at him a moment in silence, aud then, 'dung out his waUli, replied: " I fear, sir, we will be five minutes too Me 1" About ' Betsey and I.' Petroleum V. Nasby tells how Mr. Will Carleton's most famous poem came near being lost in the Waste-barrel. " Betsey and I are Out " wss first sent to the Toledo Blade in Mr. Locke's ab sence, and his partner looked at the verses and threw them in tho waste basket, which, as Nasby says, "hap pened to be a barrel." When ho came home, Mr. Locke went fishing in the barrel, and the first thing he pulled out was this poem, which happened to Catch his eye. Whereupon the senior partner mildly inquired, iu tones of thuuder, " Dock, don't you know any better than to throw away such stuff as that ? We'd better print it." The last verse was lost in the fragments, and the editor wrote to Mr. Carloton, asking bim to com plete it. But he kept no copy, and had to compose an ending which don't leave much doubt in the minds of the Toledo lUade people who is the real author of the ballad. Destitution Actld Splendor. Doubtless there are many persona m situated, say the New York charitable societies, in their appeals for aid, as not to appreciate the fact that to a large class of other persons the coming of winter is a dread calamity. Yet it is a terrible fact that the season of operas, and theatres, and balls, and sleighing parties it warm and cheerful palace halls in the city, and houses glowing with great wood fires in the country is the season of distress to many thou sands, the season to which they look forward with serious apprehension. Darkness and despair appear to sur round them wherever they look. It is estimated that sit hundred thousand people in New York city make their homes in tenement houses. Of these, one hundred thousand are women who live by manual labor, of whom the greater part are unmarried. The Sewing Machine Swindle. The Nashua (N. H.) Teleqruph says, "The manufacturers who have recently been engaged in the manufacture of sewing machines in Nashua affirm that the ac tual cost of the best $G j machines is a little less than 813. Tho way people have been swindled is about the same as robbery." Iron in tlie blood supplied by Tkrcvian Svanr. Com. Indians Killed in Battle.

Since the intro duction of distilled tpirili in the Six teenth Century, they have been habitu ally prescribed as remedies. We know that alcohol, in all its forms, is perni cious to health.
