Storing Root for Wlntert
Thousands of bushels of potatoes
arid other roots are lost annually
through insufficient protection from the
cold. It is not necessary to store roots
in a cellar. A well coverod pit out of
doors 'will keep them fresher and with
equal safety. Only the small quantity
of potatoes and other roots which a
family needs during extreme cold
weather should be kept in cellars under
dwelling houses. There is some de
gree of fermentation and decay in large
bodies of any kind of vegetables, even
in cold weather, and the effluvia from
these is a cause of fevers and other dis
eases often prevalent in some houses
every winter and spring. But to keep
potatoes in pits requires some judgment
and understanding of the business.
Last winter ground exposed to the
weather froze in some plnces four foet
deep, and this extreme cold was a source
of great loss. Of course no farmer
would think of burying potatoes four
feet deep, and even if ho did they
might bo frozen, as the heap would
necessarily be a mound on the surface
of the ground completely exposed to
the weather. The great secret of suc
cess is to hnve the earth piled in layers
with some substance between which will
lay loosely, and thus hold a quantity
of dead air, one of the best non-conductors
of heat. Anything which will
keep a quantity of air undisturbed be
tween the roots and the blast of winter
"will answer the purpose. The best way
to do this is to have not less than two,
and better still if three, coverings of
coarse, dry straw, lying as loosely as
possible, and each well covered with a
good coating of earth. If potatoes are
dug early they may be covered at first
only with straw and potato vines. As
danger of frost approaches cover with
six to seven inches of earth. Then
give another liberal coating of coarse
straw the coarser the bettor and
covei this at least ten inches deep with
earth. If more covering be needed,
another layer of straw, lightly covered
with eorth, will ofl'ord ample protection
in the severest weather. It is not the
depth of soil so much as the imprisoned
air confined with and under the straw
which insures success.

'Ine human hand has often been

Rural Home,
A Fatal Prize Fight.
A prize fitrht took place in the coal
regions of Illinois, and in the vicinity
oi uitawa, wnicn was iatal in its ro-
suits. A correspondent says: In the
community audioes of the fist are fre
quent, and the position of local
champion or "best man of the mines
is aspired after by many.
It whs thus that the recent fight was
brought about. Jack Lewil has been
considered especially by himself the
Dest man in Jia Salle county ; and,
when another miner, named Jim Bogers,
nailing irem (Jalilorma, and bearing
the sobriquet of the " California Pet,"
came to this section of country and
made pretentions to the possession of
some pugilistic skill, it was not long
ere the friends of both got up a match.
Articles were signed whereby tho men
agreed to fight a square, stand-up fight
for $200 a side, and both men went into
training. The arrangements were kept
very quiet, as the local authorities all
over the State are specially on the alert
einoe the breaking up of the fights at
Chicago and East St. Louis, and it was
not until the night before that the
"office" was given to a favored few.
The brutal fight continued until the
37th round was reached, when Lewis
was found to be too weak from loss of
blood to continue, and fainted away.
He was taken to his home and soon
alter died. It was a cruel and brutal
affair from the first round, Lewis being
overmatched by his antagonist.

The Island of Cuba.
How Havana vu Captnreit Many Yean
Ago by th English
The only power that ever attacked
Cuba was Groat Britain. On the first
occasion the invasion ended most dis
astrously; on tho second Havana fell
into herhands. The particulars of the
siege appended is at this moment in
structive reading.
in 1741 Admiral vernon. with a large
fleet and 12,000 troops under Lord
Cathcart, was dispatched to the West
indies for the purpose of attacking the
commerce of Spain and capturing her
most valuable possessions m America.
He made an attempt to reduce Cartha
gena (Ecuador), in which he failed, af
ter suffering very heavy losses. He re
turned to Jamaica with a fragment of
his beaten and dispirited expedition,
and determined to fall unon Cuba. His
military force was reduced to 3,000
available men, which he augmented by
1,000 negroes, who were drilled and
armed for the enterprise. Vernon sailed
for the southeast part of the Island and
anchored in Guantanamo Bay, in which
is situate Santiago de Cuba, where the
massacre of the passengers and crew of
the Virginius took place. The troops
were landed and encamped at a distance
of 20 miles further up the river. He
lound Santiago too strong to attack,
however, and his men remained entire
ly inactive. The Spaniards likewise
resolved to let Vernon alone. He re
mained until November, when the expe
dition returned to Jamaica. On mus
tering the troops the picture is repre
sented as beiug sadder than if they had
come from a fierce campaign. The fine
army that had lelt liinglaud 12,000
strong was now reduced to 2,000. Dis
ease, caused by bad salted provisions
in a state of putridity and excesses in
rum, while in Cuba, cut off in a few
months over half of Vernon's troops.
vuen tne news ot the disastrous result
reached England the kingdom was filled
with murmurs and discontent, and the
people were depressed in proportion to
that sanguine hope by winch they had
been elevated. But, though Vernon's
expedition accomplished nothing be
yond the loss of his soldiers, tho re-
chnstcuing of Unantunama Bay by the
name of Cumberland Harbor, in com
pliment to one of the King's brothers
(a name it very briefly retained) and his
own disgrace, it would appear that it
was not sufficient to cause Great Britain
to abandon a project which, it was be
lieved, promised booty even beyond
reach of calculation.
England had all along kept a trrecdv
eye fixed upon the French and Spanish
possessions in America. Her aggres
sions in Canada and in the West Indies
led to the formation of what is known
in history as "The Family Compact"
between France and Spain. The two
latter Powers were charged with using
undue means to induce Portugal to
enter into au alliance with them to re
sist Great Britian. This was in 17G1,
20 years after Vernon's disastrous enter
prise before Santiago de Cuba. War
existed with France, ond Sir James
Douglas had captured Martinique. The
English Ministry professed its anxiety
to remain at peace with Spain, while it
secretly collected a large fleet and army
to make a descent on Cuba. When war
was again declared, iu June. 1762. a
squadron sailed from Portsmouth, under
Admiral 1'ococke, with 20,000 troops,
commanded by the Earl of Albemarle.
These were joined by Sir James Doug
las' vessels, and, thus united, the expe-
union iNjiisisieu oi ia smps oi tne line,
18 smaller ships of war and 150 trans
ports. Pococko boldly explored a per
ilous way along the uauamas. and with.
out the slightest accident appeared be-
iore Havana.
The arrival of the English was a sur
prise, for it was the first intimation the
Cubans had of the existence of war.
Neverthelsss, Havana was of sufficient
strength, by art and nature, to make a
vigorous cleience. The city was forti
fled with the utmost skill, cost and care.
as the great mart and centre of Spanish
American trade. Within the harbor lay
12 ships of the line; within the ramparts
was a largo army, including the country
intuitu, scarcely mienor to tne attach
ing force. Besides these, the strong
works flanked with bastions, which de
fended the main body of the place, the
narrow entrance to the harbor was se
cured by two forts well nigh deemed
impregnable. And here it may be men
tioned that the only use made of the
fleet during tho siego was to sink three
of them behind a strong boom at the
mouth of the harbor. The English
landed June 5, two miles southeast
of Havana, without loss or op
position. They were divided into
two corps. One, under General
Elliott, advanced a considerable
way into the country while the
other, under General Keppel, besieged
Mono Castle. The difficulties attend
ing the operations seemed insurmount
able. The construction of batteries
commenced June 12, but so thin was
tho soil and so hard the rock beneath,
that the advance was made very slowly.
To cover their approaches the English
had to use bales of cotton, brought
from Jamaica by Sir James Donglas.
There was no water in the vicinity.
It could be had in the neighborhood of
the camp, but it was so impure that in
stead of aflordiug relief it would only
prove deadly. The only good water
that could be obtained was at a distance
of three leagues, and ceuld only be pro
cured in boats. Having no other way
to get a supply, Albemarle's troops hall
to depend upon the ships. Tho labor
of cutting roads through the woods and
drawing the artillery was so excessivo
that many dropped down dead with
fatigue. However, the batteries were
raised to assail the Morro and the ships ;
a sortie in force was repulsed, but one
day three ships of the English fleet
stationed themselves as close as they
could to the fort, and during seven
hours attempted to dismount its guns.
They were compelled to withdraw with
out producing the slightest effect, after
sustaining great injury from the Morro's
fire. The principal English battery
was also destroyed. It had required
the labor of COO men for 17 days to com
plete it. It was consumed in a few
hours, and all had to be constructed
anew. Disease had reduced the invad
ing army to half its number; 5,000
soldiers were unfit for duty and 2,000
Bailors were in the same condition. An
expected reinforcement of four thou
sand troops from New York had not
arrived. A lodgement was at length
made in the covered way, and an at
tempt made to dislodge the besiegers
proved unsuccessful. The sucoor long
waited for and bo much needed at last
reached camp from New York, a breafih
was made in the walls, and, on July 30,
the fort was stormed and carried.
Four hundred Spaniards were drowned
and as many more laid down their arms.
Velasco, the Governor, and the Marquis
de Gonzales, tho second in command,
were killed after bravely resiating to
the last. New works were now com
menced to attack the city. The Gov
ernor was summoned to surrender. He
returned a civil but firm refusal. Al
bemarle opened his batteries with such
effect that flags of truce soon appeared,
and on the 13th of August, 1762, after
44 days' siege, the city was occupied by
the British forces.
The Ylrginins Crcwt
An Havana paper at hand firives the
following account of the crew of the
Virginns, their execution, etc. It says:
Teose of the prisoners who wero found
disguised in common clothes and con
cealing their names were also treated
with courtesy when it was found out
who they were. Clean clothes and toilet
articles were given them, and a dis
tinction was made in their fare. The
naval court-martial met at six a. m. on
the Cth, and never got through its work
till seven a. m. on the 7th. It was pre
sided over by the strictest rectitude.
Thirty-seven of the crew were sentenced
to death, twelve to different greater or
Ie?s punishments, and three acquitted.
having proved their perfect innocence.
This shows the rectitude of the pro
ceedings and the good conduct of the
Judge-Advocate. Tho thirty-seven con
demned to deoth were at onco sent to
the chapel. Captain Fry bore himself
becomingly and preserved a constant
coolness, with no sort of braggadocia.
xno law was executed at live p. m. of
tho same day, the 7th, and at that
Bolemn moment there was heard the
voice of some one who called out.
"Long live free Cuba 1" The cry was
drowned in the rattle of the volley. A
notable incident occurred, a victory lor
our holy faith. Twenty Protestants
were converted iu thecondemned chapel
to our uatholic Uhurcn, failed with the
most fervent faith, and therewith re
ceived the sacrament of baptism. They
confessed, communicated, and with the
greatest devotion prayed to God to re
ceive their souls. Of the trials of those
on shore it came that, beside those pre
viously named, Guillermo Vails, Insto
Consogra, Francisco Borras, Polu, and
and Herminio Qtiesada, being twelve in
all, were sent to the condemned chapel at
ten p. m. on the 7th. The pen refuses
to describe the behavior of this bril
liant company of youth in the presence
of the crucified. It seemed a very bac
chanalian orgie of soulless men, utterly
ignorant that they must soon be called
to account for all their acts. They paid
little heed to the exhortations of the
excellent priests who besought them to
die well, aud if they confessed it was
with so little faith that it is doubtful if
it did them any good. With the like
indecency they marched to their death.
A few phrases uttered in low tones
proved that in those solemn moments
they cherished the hate of us which
had been instilled into them, aud, with
a scarcely audible " Viva Cuba Libre !"
the sentence was carried out.
Boss Tweed iu Prison.
Wni. M. Tweed of New York was
sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment in
the County Penitentiary and to pay a
fine of $12,400.
At one o'clock in the morning, says a
New York paper, Mr. Tweed passed
through the iron gates of the Tombs,
where he was temporarily committed
until his removal to the Penitentiary on
Blackwell's Island. The doors of the
Tombs were thrown open on the arrival
of the carriages by the watchman,
whom Tweed greeted in his usual
genial way, and said, " Well, John,
how are you? I never expected to
meet you here like this." "John,"
with evident sincerity and considerable
feeling, said, " Yes, Mr. Tweed, I am
sorry to have to meet you here like
this." This little incident over, the
prisoner passed a little way into the
corridor, and had a short, confidential
convercation with Mr. Shields, who
quietly intimated to his prisoner that
all was ready, and he passed within the
enclosure, with his son, Mr. Dewey
and Shields, to the court yard and was
placed in Xo. C cell, which is on the
lower tier of the prison. A short time
time was spent in making the prepara
tions tor the night, aud his friends, who
had accompanied him, bade him " good-
by ana ic it mm with manifest evi
dences of sorrow to spend his first
night in prison. To the last moment
Mr. Tweed kept up his average flow of
spirits, and assumed that bravado and
heroic air for which he has been so re
markably distinguished throughout his
extraordinary career.
In reply tc an inquiry as to what he
thought of the sentence, Mr. Tweed
said, " Directly he began to put the
counts into groups of four, I thought
what he was going to do, and I was not
mistaken. He imprisoned me on the
Keyser counts and fined me on the
others." "Did you expect 12 years
then ?" inquired the reporter. "Xo; I
thought he would have stopped at tho
10 ; but I guess he stumbled on the
two odd counts, and so made it 12."
Allusion was made to " Dick Con
nolly." " Ah," said Mr. Tweed, " Dick
is living iu clover in Europe on 3,000
a year, and he is the cause of all this
trouble and ought to be where I am."
Fnta Morgana,
On Sunday morning, while three per
sons were seated, quietly engaged in
conversation at a residence in Berkley,
the skies became lowering and gave in
dications of an approaching storm.
Suddenly the conversation was inter
rupted by one of the party, who ex
claimed :, "See through yonder window!"
Instantly all eyes were turned that way,
and a scene met the vision, rarely, if
ever before, witnessed in this vicinity.
There, at her anchorage off the Xaval
Hospital, lay the United States steamer
Worcester, while far above the clouds
and a little to the eastward of a vertical
line was plainly mirrored the noble
ship. Every portion of her stately hull
was plainly delineated, including her
yard-arms aud tapering masts, her
boats, fcc. Intently did the group gaze
for an hour in admiration at the grand
apparition, or perfect counterfeit of the
frigate reflected in the clouds far above.
This may have been an omen of success
for the ship and gallant crew, perhaps
shortly to be enveloped in the smoke.of
battle. Time will tell. Xorfolk Laud'

A Boy's Fight with au Eagle.
TheX ew-Bedford Mercury says that
a few days ago Nelson II. Stevens, a
boy living at East Fair Haven, Mass.,
saw a large eagle swoop down on a flock
of fowl, seize one and fly into the woods.
The boy went for his gun, which was
loaded with shot for rabbit-shooting,
and, on pursuing the eagle, found that
the fowl had escaped, and that the ea
gle was chasing it through the bushes.
He then fired, wounded the eagle, and
a fierce hand-to-hand tussle ensued, in
which tne boy thought he had Killed it.
He seized his prize and, starting for
home, threw it over a wall which came
in his way, when it again flew back to
the wood. The boy followed, and in
another fight made sure of killing the
bird. He then took it home, and found
that it weighed eight and a half pounds
and measured six feet nine inches from
tip to tip.
The Late John Parker Hale."
John Parker Hale, whose death is
announced, was born in Rochester,
Strafford County, N. n., March 31,
1806. He received an academical edu
cation at Phillips Academy, in Exeter,
N. H., and matriculated at Bowdoin
College in 1823, graduating in the class
of 1827. He was a fellow-student of
Longfellow, Hawthorne, S. S. Prentiss,
I'roi. btowe. and the late President.
Franklin Pierce. In 1828 lie took up
his residence at Dover, N. II., where he
continued to live, with intervals of ab
sence at New York, where he practiced,
and at Washington and Madrid, in the
performance of public duties, till his
death. He studied law, and was ad
mitted to tho Bar at Dover in 1830.
He was, in 1834, appointed by Presi
dent JockBon United States Attorney
for the District of New Hampshire, and
was removed by President Tyler in
1840. The Democrats, in 1843, elected
him to Congress, where the discussion
of the slavery question had already be
gun. Mr. Halo took sides with the
opponents of slavery. The Democrats,
however, renominated him in 1845, but
the Democratic leaders called a new
convention, and nominated another
candidate in his district. He ran as an
independent candidate, but as a major
ity of all the votes cast was required
to elect, the district was unrepresented
in that Congress, no candidate having
received the requisite number of votes.
He was returned to the Legislature in
1846, and was chosen Speaker, and
then United States Senator, ne took
his seat as the first, and at that time the
only Senator elected on the Anti
Slavery platform. His position and
pronounced opinions on this question
brought upon him attacks from both
the great parties Whig and Demo
craticof that day. Here his wit and
genial humor served him well.
In 1852 he was nominated by the
Free-soil Party for the Presidency,
against Gen. Seott and Tierce, the
Whig and Democratic candidates, re
ceiving io,ua votes.
At the expiration of his Senatorial
term, in 1853, Mr. Atherton succeeded
him. In 1855 he was again chosen
United States Senator to fill a vacancy,
and in ivm lor the tun term of six
years. His last public duties were dis.
charged in the capacity of Minister to
Spain, to which poet he was appointed
by jur. .Lincoln.
Coining Home.
in our school days we used to come
home for our holidays ; in riper years
wo come homo when they are over. Yet
it is, after all, a question whether we
do not enjoy the return to the domestic
roof as much in the later case as we did
in the former. A great part of the
pleasure of going away undoubtedly
lies in the anticipation of getting back
again to our old haunts and habits. We
take our holidays as a kind of annual
sherry and bitters, to give us appetites
lor our ordinary modes of life : and
perhaps there is no morning during our
absence so thoroughly welcome to us
ai that of the day on which we set out
for town once more. Everything at
home has acquired some fresh charm
during our absence. The servants,
though they do not belong to a particn

were so heartily tired of before we left,
have now a charming freshness about
them ; and tho little sanctum with its

A Xew Jersey Boy's Surprise Party
jirs. a., wno lias a nne lawn in
Bergen county, says the Xew York
.S'i, was surprised one pleasant Sep
tember afternoon to see it filled with
girls and boys bent on having a good
time. On questioning one of the
children, she was informed that the
whole school were especially invited by
Master Tom, her son, who promised
them loads of cake aud fruit and foun
tains of lemonade. Now as Mrs. H.
had never given permission for such a
bounteous entertainment, though wil
ling to "stand treat," she surprised
poor Tom by ordering him immediately
to bed, where he had tho pleasure oi
listening to the shouts of his com
panions and tho click of the glasses
through closed shutters, and has since
decided that as this was the Alpha it
shall also be the Omega of his surprise
parties.

Dr. J. Walker's California Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, nuU6 chiefly from the na
tive herbs foanci on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without tho use
of Alcohol. Tho question Is almoRt
daily asked, " What is tho cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit.
tees" ' Our answer is, t lint tuoy remove
the cause of discaso, nnd tho patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a lKo-giving principle,
a perfect Kenovator and Iuvigorator
of the system. Never before in ti
hiatory of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Tikeoar Bitters in healing tne
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative 83 well as a Touic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walkek'8
Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,

their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire couutry during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. Thero
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
