Preserving Ai-ples. Packing apples
is strongly recommended by a corres
pondent of Moore's Rural, who says
tnat in tins way lie was able to keep
Noilhern Spy and Swaar until May not
only without the least, decay, but almost
as tresu and lull ot flavor as when
picked ; and he thinks that had they
not been disturbed they would have
retained their virtues to an eveu later
date. He selected flour barrels
being tighter than those made i xpressly
for fruit ; spread the bottom with the
pulverized gypsum, and then put iu al
ternate layers of tuis material and the
applas till the barrel was full, when a
final covering of plaster was applied
and the head pushed down and hoops
driven tight. His theory is tllat the
plaster being of a cold nature keeps the
fruit at an even temperature, aud being
so line aud dry, packs so close as to
practically exclude the air.
Does It Pay to Grow Rye 1
So a friend asked the other day, says
the Rural New Yorker. We replied,
yes when the straw, after the grain is
out of it, will bring 18 to $25 per tou
for mauufactuiing purposes. It does
bring this in many localities, and is
grown for no other purpose. Besides,
the grain itself is growing in favor as
material for bread. The consumption
of rye bread annually increases. Ger
mans use it extensively ; its sweetness
and nutrition as served in the German
restaurants and beer saloons is attrac
ting the attention of Americans. It
makes a delicious bread, and our peo
ple should know how to utilize the
grjin and the straw and remember that
it is not only an excellent late fall,
winter and early spriug forage crop,
but an excellent summer-soiling crop,
as well as a good green crop to plow
under. But the profit to be realized
from rye as a crop will differ in differ
ent localities and under different cir
cumstances hence when we recom
mend rye as a paying crop, we do not
recommend every man to make it one
of his crops until he has found out
what its straw, grain, or it us a forage,
soiling or green manure crop is to him.
This can only be done by knowledge of
the facts and figures.
Bad Dreams. Bad dreams are fre
quently caused by a tight neck band,
which prevents the blood when it has
reached the brain, from flowing freely
back again. Compression of any part
of the body should be avoided at all
times, but especially during sleep. The
lighter the bedclothes are the more re
freshing and sweet will.be repose. For
this reason, comforters made of delaines
or other thin woolen material and stuff
ed with wool are far preferable to those
made of cotton, aud warmer even than
blankets, since the fibew of wool are
wider i.part and the same weight goes
farther in retaining the warmth of the
body. ,
Soap. A young lady who makes all
the family soap, gives the following
recipe for a good cheap article: " Add
to ten quarts of water six pounds of
quick lime (shell lime is best) and six
pounds of common washing soda. Put
all together, and boil for half an hour,
and let it stand fr all night U clear.
Draw off the lye,' and add to it one
pound ef common resin and seven
pounds o fat (any fat will do). Boil
' t lis fqr half an hour; then let it stand
till caol, And cut it into bars,"
interview in Wash-
of the condition of affairs 1
ruins the Cubans, stating that he
knew that the Spanish Government did
not savjtion the spirit which prompted
the Spanish volunteers to speedily exe
cute ttiose captured on the Virginius.
Said he:
" It wm a cold-blooded murder, and
no one of sund judgment pretends to
apologize lor the buthery." "iiut,"
said he, " the Cubans themselves are a
misguided set. They have had pre
sumed patriots running loose in New
York and Washington cities who, had
they been made of sterner mettle, would
have been fighting battles on the island
instead of manufacturing useless and
pseudo enthusiasm in those cities. No
one denies that Ryan and his confreres
were iu the commission of the Cubans.
If an American is willing to enter tke
service of a foreign power, he does it at
bis own risk, and has no right at every
turn which proves inimical to his own
interests or life to ask the intervention
of a government he has voluntarily left
to battle lor another power. It would
have been much more creditable to the
Cuban authorities to have kept their
omsers at home doing service where it
was valuable. Battles fought on enthu
siasm breathed in Washington and New
York will not sain Cuban victories or
add one chaplet to the cause. If they
had done more service in Cuba aud less
elsewhere, the cause on the island might
to-day present a more flattering aspect.
Cuban warriors should be made of bet
ter stuff than those who floated round
these citios, soliciting aid au en
couragement for the insurgents in
the field."
In answer as to the reasonable time
this government could be advised of
the official particulars of the capture of
the Virginius and the execution of the
captives, Mr. Fish said:
I cannot tell. Mr. Hall, Consul at
Havana, has telegraphed me that com
munication wit Santiago de Cuba has
been cut off. I should not be surprised
if the Cubans themselves had inter
rupted the communication. The State
Department will use the utmost dili
gence to be advised at the earliest prac
ticable moment. Alter we have the full
facts we will act. This government
cannot now act, because it does not
have any basis upon which to proceed
firmly and intelligently. It may be a
week yet before the news is presented
in an official shape."
Mr. r ish then expressly stated that
he was in. sympathy with the Cuban
cause. In speaking of their wants he
said: "They want a leader of good
judgment and rare qualities ; they need
also seaports. Why, to-day they have
not a seaport, and are literally sUut out
from the outside world. Every article
of need or munition of war is smug
gled through Spanish waters. They
have no means of communication.
These Cubans are too enthusiastic, and
actually want the United States gov
ernment to espsmee their cause de facto.
They would have us to de what Eng
land dared not do during the war of the
rebellion. They want us to build ships
and land armed expeditions on their
coasts. This England never did. True,
she fitted out one or two privateers
f whieh did considerable damage and for
which she has paid 15,500,000, but in
all our troubles she never fitted out au
armed expedition to land ou our shores.
' The Cubans come to this country,
enlist recruits for their service, raise
money, attempt to negotiate bonds and
loans, and yet want the government not
only to accord to them belligerent
rights, but to commit the overt act
against Spain of arming and fitting out
ships to land supplies for them, when
thus far they are powerless to maintain
a solitary seaport. I say again, l sym
pathize with Cuba, but cannot consis-,
tently with my sense of duty and re
sponsibility render aid in any manner
which will conflict with the comity of
nations. 1 want to see better metal
from Cuba than has yet beeu sent
among us before I can hope to hear of
their ultimately aohieviug their inde
pendence. The status of the Virginius,
if it comes under the cognizance of the
United States, is very much similar to
the boarding of the English vessel con
taining Slidell and Mason by Commo
dore Wilkes."
Mr. Fish was then asked iu case the
status of the capture of the Virginius
was of such a nature as to demand rep
aration of Spain, what that reparation
would be other than a mere apology ;
to which he replied :
" We cannot bring the dead to life ;
and just what course the government
can pursue can ouly be stated when it
is in possession of the full facts in the
matter. We cannot act hastily on
vague information."
The Virginias Affair.
The Spanish Government claim that
the capture of the Virginius was under
the decree of the Captain General of
1869. One of its articles provided that
on the high seas contiguous to the Is
land of Cuba, the Spanish cruisers were
to confine themselves to exercising the
right of search over such vessels as
might be denounced, but in consequence
of the strong protest of the Secretary
of State, the Captain General said that,
in view of the determination adopted
by the Goverument of the United States,
and in ordsr at the same time t relieve
legitimise commerce from all unneces
sary interference, he had concluded to
modify the decree, omitting this ob
jectionable article from the series. The
Secretary, in his opposition to the de
cree, said the treaty of 1795 authorizes
nothing but the inspection of the pass
port of the vessel of trade met with,
while the article alluded to contem
plated a soaveh as to the character of
the vessel beyond the limitation fixed
by the treaty ; but it would appear
from the information received by the
department that the Virginius waB cap
tured six miles from the Jamaica coast,
in accordance with the article which the
Captain General said he had withdrawn.
The United States Department f State
and Minister Sickles are in telegraphic
correspondence on the subject. The
Spanish Government claims that it has
acted in good faith by asking a delay
of punishment on the passengers and
crew of that vessel, and regrets its tele
gram was not reoeived in Cuba before
the execution took plaoe. The difficul
ty seems to be the inefficiency of that
Government to control affairs in Cuba
in this as well as other matters. The
United States Government is engaged
in the effort to stay proceedings as to
the remainder of those on board the
Virginius until all the facts can be fully
ascertained.

Medical nmntitinners. snr Dr. R.
Shelton Mackenzie, are noted for their
libeiHtj. In evidence of this, thero
ia t-efact that eve the most distin
guished among them freely give their
advioe (which includes skill, time, and
compensation) to the poorer classes.
Sometimes, too, they exercise liberality
to the rich. Two recent instances t f
this have lately oome to my knowledge.
Sir Henry Thompson, the most popular
among the surgeons of London, once
on a time, having successfully operated
on Leopold, late King of the Belgians,
for a disease of the prostrate gland, re
ceived the enormous fee of $60,000,with
the knightly Order of Leopold. He is
only fifty-three years old, and his pro
fessional income is estimated at $100,
000 a year. During the illness of the
late Emperor Napoleon III, he attended
him once a day for nearly a fortnight,
which, the distance from London to
Chiselhurst being some five-and-twenty
miles, ocoupieu about three hours daily,
even with the assistance of railway
traveling. Three hours of a London
surgeon's time may count as one-third
of liis time. Napoleon died, and the
Empress Eugenie, paying the surgeon
rather according to her former rank
than her present means, handed Sir
Henry Thompson a fee of two thousand
guineas ($10,000), whioh, it must be
confessed, was a liberal acknowledg
ment. He returned one-half of this
money, in a kind and delicate manner.
Another instance, which occurred
within the last two months, still more
honorably marks the professional honor
of this practitioner. He was spending
his vacation iu the Highlands ot Scot
land, how and then making a raid on
the grouse and partridges, and enjoying
himself in total abstinence from study
aud work. A wealthy friend of his,
whose shooting-box in the Highlands
was only a short distance from his own,
met with a frightful accident, and the
family sent for Sir Henry, who, it may
be, sighed over the fact of having his
rest-time thus invaded. The case was
so dangerous and difficult that Sir
Henry was compelled to remain in per
sonal attendance on the sufferer for
niuo days. At the end " he pulled his
patient through," as the saying is, and,
on taking leave, a check for a thousand
guineas was placed in his hand, with a
warm expression of gratitude for ser
vices rendered. It was firmly deoliued,
on the ground that the attendance was
given to a friend, and during a holiday.
Akin to this, though on a smaller
scale, is the instance) of an eminent
doctor of the last century, who had a
patient evidently in very reduced cir
cumstances, who, poor- as he was, made
shift always to have, neatly rolled up in
a little bit of paper, the fee of one guiuea
now, as then, the ordinary honorarium
for a single visit in "-the old country"
which, the sick man beinor nroud ns
he was poor, the doctor could not make
un excuse lor not accepting:, lie saw.
however, that the patient did not take
the generous wine which, wnen con
valescence had begun, was ordered to
sustain and invigorate his system, as
the poor man could not afford to buy it.
One day the doctor said :
" If you will promise to take some of
my own pills, iu which I have great
faith, I shall leave them for you as I
pass by to-morrow ; for you are well
enough to dispense with my visits."
The promise was given, and next
morning the doctor left his box of pills.
On opening it the patient found all the
guineas he had dispensed as medical
fees, with a little note, insisting that he
receivo them back. There was
also a generous bank check for a fur
ther sum. The sick man's daughter,
feeling that poverty now was his chief
complaint, persuaded him to accept
tli e monev as a loan, and in a short
time, fortune having changed, the pa
tient was able aud glad to pay leack
what he had received from his msdical
friend. .
In some instances physicians and
surgeons accumulate immense fortunes,
though they are generons and kind.
The famous Doctor John Radoliffe, who
died in N veinber, 17U, left a very largo
property, sufficiently large to provide
S5l,50i) each for two traveling fellow
ships of Univerbity College, Oxford ;
$2,50 a year toward mending the diet
of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, asd $500
a year for linen ; $25,000 to enlarge the
library of University College ; 810,000
a year among his relations ; 8200,000
for the erection for a public library in
Oxford, with $750 a year to a librarian
and $500 a year forever to buy boks. To
thid day the Radcliffe Library is one of
the ornaments of Oxford. Yet this man
had a very poor beginning. When he
received his degree, a college dignitary
asked him where was his library, and
was shown a few vials, a skeleton, and
an herbal.
Soon becoming eminent and inde
pendent, he declined the office of physi
cian to King William III whicli was
no great sacrifice, seeing that, in the
following six years, that monarch paid
him $12,000 for his professioaal assist
ance, and Queen Mary gave him $5,250
for curing her nephew, sou of the
Prince aud Princess of Denmark. A
neighboring physician said he made
5,000 a year by those who were unable
to obtain admission to Radcliffe for ad
vice. For going to the Continent to see
and prescribe for theEarlof Albemarle,
Radcliffe received 6,000 and the offer
of a baronetage, and his patient gave
him $2,000, a diamond ring of great
value, and a large sum to pay his trav
eling expenses. Finally, when the king
was very ill with the dropsy.and asked,
pointing to his swollen ankles, "What
do you think of these ?" the doctor, who
was no courtier, answered, " Why,
truly," sir, I would not have your to
legs for your three kingdoms 1"
nils iranK incivility cuspieasea nis
royal patient, who never afterward
would receive mm.
He was brusque with every one. He
told an aged lady, who had obtained
admission on false pretences, that " he
neither knew what was good for an old
woman, nor what an old woman was
good for."
Once, when dining at a tavern, as was
the fashion of the time, he refused to
leave his wine to visit an offioer's wife,
who was in great danger. The offioer,
seeing that he was a small man, forci
bly lifted him out of his seat and car
ried hi in out of the house. Radoliffe,
vcheuently angry, called him villain
and rascal, and swore that, iu revenge,
he would cure the captain's wife, which
he did.
While dining one day with Lord
Granville, and some others of the prin-'
oipal nobility, at the Mitre, in Fleet
street, London Doctor Johnson's favo
rite place of resort, where he and Bos
well first suBDed toeether Dootor Rad
cliffe received a letter from a man, then
under sentence of death, in the pvison
f Newgate, convicted of a highway
robbery. This letter contained a oon
fession that he, some short time before,
had robbed) Raaclifle of Alow, ana ear
ly entreating bim to ua his influ
ence to obtain a commutation 01 nis
sentence.
Radoliffe, at the moment, spoke to
Lord Granville on the subject, Baying
that the confession gave him infinite
satisfaction, as it established the in
nocence of one whom he had unjustJy
censured.
The end was that the culprit was re
prieved, and only transported to Vir
ginia, where he did so well that, in a
short time, he sent produce toRadcliffe,
exceeding in value the amount stolen
from him.
Radoliffe had a rough humor whicli
approached wit. He once told a pavier
who had often dunned him ior a small
amount, that he " had done his work
badly, and then covered it over with
earth to conceal it."
The man auswered significantly :
"Mine is not the only bad work
which the earth conceals."
Struck with the retort, the doctor
paid the man, adding a guinea to the
amount, observing that he was a wit,
and must, therefore, be poor.
More than twenty years before his
death, not content with the enormous
income he was making. Radcliffo was
induced, by the representations of Bet-
terton, the actor, to risk $25,000 in-a
venture to the East Indies. When he
heard that the speculation had failed,
he coolly remarked :
"Well, it is but to go up five thou
sand pairs of stairs, aud all will be
right again I"
He was fond of monev. he confessed,
yet kis private charities were many and
extensive, tie never toon a lee irom
a curate a needy class in his time
but very often insisted ou presenting
him with money, which it then was the
fashion to accept irom rich foiKs.
Cheaper Telegraphing,
Low rates and quick dispatch increase
all kinds of business that relates to the
tarrying of passenpers, freight or letters.
If the rates are too high, neither corn
nor grain can be sent irom the extreme
West to the seaboard, and only a htn
ited quantity from places less remote,
Not one passenger would go to Kansas
or California where ten now go, if the
stagecoach were substituted for the
railroad, the fare remaining the same.
The actual cost of transportation de
creases as the quantity of merchandise
and number of passengers increase. If
there are two railroads of the same
length, the eue carrying double the
quantity of fr.iRht of the other, its ex
penses will not be fifty per cent, greater,
for many of them bear no relation to
the amount of business as the general
office expenses, grading, fencing, ties,
and culverts,
In the mail service especially, by the
greater dispatch afforded by railroads
and the reduced postage, the mailed
letters have increased within a fow years
from forty millions to five hundred mil'
lions, while the deficit of revenue is no
greater in proportion to the number of
letters transmitted at three cents tnan
at the former average postage of 15
cents. This principle applies still more
strongly to the telegraph ; the rates are
s liigW that few cau offbrd to use it,
although the gniu in time over the mails
is so great. Abroad, at low rates, it is
generally used. Iu England its use has
more Mian doubled within three years
since the telegraph kas been connected
with the post-office, while here the num
ber of telegrams has increased less than
one-third. The average rate for tele
grams in England is 25 cents ; in all
Europe, 31 cents ; in America. 73 cents.
The Postmaster-General recommends
the union of the telegraph with the
post-office by the purchase and opera
tion of the lines of telegraph. While
all admit the greater cheapness and
more free use of the telegraph abroad,
some oppose this plan on the ground
that under a republican form of govern
ment tho telegraph cannot be managed
as well as under a monarchy. If this
be true, an A the people are unable to
manage their own cff-iirs, then give us
a king and aristocracy at once. We do
not participate in these tears, ana the
sooner this question is understood and
decided the better.
Others oppose this plan on account of
the great outlay involved in the pur
chase and extension of the line ; and a
plan has been proposed by committees
of the Senate and House of Represen
tatives in Congress to whom the subject
was referred, by which telegrams will
bo received as letters now are at all
post-offices, and at all telegraph
offices, aud transmitted between
the offices by parties furnishing
and operating the lines at rates fixed
by Congress, not exceeding eue cent a
word for telegrams transmitted 000
miles or less by day, and 1,000 miles or
less by night ; a reduction of about CO
per cent, of the present rates 25 cents
for a night telegram from St. Louis to
New York or New Orleans. This plan
relieves the post-office from the neces
sity of purchasing and operating lines,
while it utilizes all its existing facili
ties, and places the telegraph at once
within the reach of all classes. This
system is in exact analogy with the
present postal service; all correspond
ence will be received aud delivered
through the post-office, the mailed let
ter transmitted by contract with rail
road and stagecoach contractors, the
telegraph letter by contract with the
telegraph company. The benefits of
this plan are evident ; it involves no
constitutional questions, and can be
easily, quickly aud without cost to the
General Government carried into prac
tical operation.
Advertisements.
To advertise is to inform the public
that you are ready for business, and
have something to dispose of, either in
the way of services or stocli. A sign
over the- door, or aoross the face of a
building, may catch the eye of a tew
passers by, but a well displayed notice
in a live paper is read by thousands.
Some men, while saving ten dolliira by
not advertising, lose huudreds in the
lack of custom. The live business man
is always found in print. He deals with
t he people, and knows t hat the best way
to reach them is through the columns
of the papers. He never lacks custom
ers, but is kept busy waiting upon
those who have read ot ins stocK una
who have come to examine or buy. We
favor judicious advertising. Goad as
it is, it can be overdone. A man may
exaggerate. bin ttock, and thereby dis
gust those wno visit aim. Anouier may
expentl too mudi money on a single ef
fort, and fail in its object. The best
wav to adverti ;e is. first, have some
thing to dispose of worth the price yon
ask; Keep witni i seas-onaoio Dounas in
yournctioeto the public; pay for the
space you occupy, promptly; as your
business enlarr.es. let your advertise
ments keep pao with its growth; lay
aside a certain per cent, of profit for
the sole purpotef keeping before the
pullio. Thous.:nii of men owe their
fortunes to a judicious system of adver
tising.

After the Insects.
A writer in a French horticultural
ournal relates this suggestive experi
ence :
After sunset I nlnne in the centre of
my orchard an old barrel, the inside of
whioh I have previously well tarred.
At the bottom of the barrel I place a
lighted lamp. Insects of many kinds,
attracted by the light, make for the
lamb, and while circling round it strike
against the sides of the barrel, where,
meeting with the tar, their wings aud
legs become so clogged that they fall
helpless to the bottom. In the morn
ing I examine thebarsel, and frequent
ly take out of it ten or twelve gallons of
cockchafers, wnicn i at once destroy.
A few pence worth of tar employed in
this way will, without any turtner trou
ble, be the means of destroying innu
merable numbers of those insects,
whose larva are among the most de
structive pests the gardener or farmer
has to contend against.
There is no Death. If it be true
that Nature abhors a vasuum, it is
equally true that the Great Creator ab- ,
hors death and glories in life. There is
really no such thing as death the term
is a misnomer, used to designate the
changes which occur in life. Life,
eternal life, is created by the .laws of

mutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, Ho made everything ne
cessary to sustain it, but left it for man's
progressive intelligence to discover, con
vert and utilize. Good medicine is to
the ailing physique, what good fuel is
to the expiring flame : the better the
fuel, the quicker the fiie the better
the medicine, the quicker comes relief
from pain. California vinegar -bitters
is life's elixir for old or young.
Use this medicine properly and you will

Too Late. Tho official dispathes
received by the Department of State at
Washington, show that the Vircinius
was captured six miles from the coast
of Jamaica. At the instance of Minister
Sickles, instructions were sent from tae
Government at Madrid to await orders
from the home Government before in
flitine wenalties on the passengers or
crew of the Virginius. The order was
probably received ou the evening of tfeo
5th or morning of the 6th inst.too late,
as it appears from the dispatenes re
