Farm, Garden and Household. Cleaning Stubble Land. The farmer who has grown wheat, or barley, or oats this year, and is not soeded down, and which is not to be sown with any other crop nntil next spring, has an opportunity of cleaning his land, that shonld on no acoonnt be negleoted. The English farmers sel dom seed down their land with wheat, After the wheat is havested, they har row the land, or tear it to pieces with a throe or four horse cultivator or "grub ber." This pulls out the roots of quack grass, and starts the seeds of other weeds. The field is afterwards plowed, when, of course, all the young weed plants are destroyed. The grubber is kept at work as ofen as necessary, to clean and mellow the land. The next spring, this land is sown to turnips or mangels, or, on heavy land, to beans or barley. It is said that this autumn cleaning of Btubble land by the free tise of the grubber, especially when operated by the all-powerful steam en gine, is one of the agricultural improve ments of the age. What is true of English farming, might be still more emphatically true of American ogricnlture. Our autumns nre longer and drier than they are in England, nnd we have a better oppor tunity to clean our land, while there is certainly a .great necessity. Our fields are fearfully foul with all kinds of weeds, and in many instances, they are annually gaining a stronger foothold. We must fight, if we would win. It will not do to go on in the old way. With our drying winds and hot sun, we ought to have the cleanest farms in the world and sooner or later, such will be the case. We must kill weeds by wholesale. It will not do to depend on the hoe and the fingers. Nature is never at rest. It will uot do to let land lie idle. When it is not ocoupied with growiug crops, we should be occupied in stirring the soil, and killing weeds. It is the great secret of success in farm ing. Smoking them to Deatlu The ground squirrels and gophers of the far West become so numerous and mischievous that farmers have to resort to shorter and more sweeping methods of defence than dogs and guns, or even traps. The Santa Barbara Prets says : Some time since, Mr. Dixie W. Thompson took us out in his buggy to an outside lot on which the squirrels had " squatted " and taken up their claim and were in high glee over their possessions. He had with him a large " man bellows," to which he had at tached about a yard of guttapercha hose. On reaching a squirrel burrow, where a colony had evidently settled, he set his machine down, thrust the end of the hose into one of the numer ous squirrel-holes, threw some shav ings, cobs and sulphur into the tea kettle, struck a match, set the shavings on fire, caught hold of the bellows, and in a moment the earth all round began to send up puffs of yellow and infernal looking smoke where a squirrel had ever run his underground road. The precaution had been taken to cover all the holes with earth before the smoke was forced into the bnrrow. In one in stance the smoke rushed ont of a hole over thirty feet distant from the main entrance of the nest. It takes about five minutes to smother a whole colony of these troublesome pests, and they never show any signs of life again, the holes remaining closed and undis turbed. The work of extermination is complete, and is accomplished at a trifling cost. A multitude of squirrels can be thus destroyed bypne man in a Bingie day. The Skunk. In the American Journal of Science, for May, Eev. H. O. Hovey, has a very important and interesting article under the titlo of " liabies Mephitica, in which it is shown that the skunk can no longer be regarded as simply a very disagreeable animal, but on the con' trary a most dangerous one, and is te be classed with the rattlesnake as an enemy to mankind. As strange as it may appear, Mr. Hovey has brought forward an array of facts to prove that the skunk is very often affected with a disease, or perhaps with a natural salivary secretion, that causes its bite to be far more dreaded than that of rattlesnake or of a mad dog. As the skunk is a nocturnal animal that steals upon his victim without warning, and gives the bite which almost invariably proves fatal, it is truly to be dreaded. Especially is this the case in the West ern States, where the animal is abun dant, and many persons are nightly ex posed to its attacks. To Preserve Green Corn. Steam it on the cob, to harden the milk ; cut it off the same as for drying ; pack it in stone jars, to every four pints of corn add one of salt, until your jar is full. Then cover one-half inch thick on the top with salt. Corn put up in this way, will keep good till corn comes again. Soak the salt out before using it. I have tried this way several years, and I find it is a much nicer way than drying. Give it a trial. London Overflowed from a Sewer. Something very like a water-spout hit the east end of London the other day and made things deoidedly lively for the inhabitants. For some reason the London papers have preserved a curious reticence on the subject, con tenting themselves with mentioning that the down-pour was heavy.and that several persons were killed by light ning. For the most interesting part of the story we are indebted to Mon ure D. Conway. It seems that all the sewage of that quarter of London is collected in a huge receiving pipe, to be pumped off for fertilizing purposes more or less rapidly, according to the demand. In case of heavy rains, the cates or whatever the damming-np apparatus may be are promptly onened. for obvious reasons. On tnis occasion, however, the man in charge could not be found. The result was but we will let Mr. Conway describe it in his own language : The dam swelled, ran up the pipes, and many hundreds of houses had their lower rooms, kitchen, etc, flooded to the depth of four feet by sewage. A rector in that reeion with whom I am aonutiiiited found all the tables and chairs ,in his kitchen floating about in this horrible sewage flood, and, on rushing out, he found that a large part oi tne parisn was in a Bimiiar oouui tion. Horses and wagons, omnibuses. etc. had been caught in it. and were emereinff from the loathsome mass. It will be quite impossible for a long time to deodorize or cleanse the base' menta of these houses, into which the seweere of all London has poured, and already there are ..signs that fever is springing up. Mr. Conwav's theory is that the an thorities have asked the newspapers to keen their knowledge to themselves, The object being, of course, to avoid a panic. SOT ALL A DREAM. How BIllo By-lnerton Prerented Robbery and ArtonSomebodr Bitot. Milo Bvincton Is brother-in-law to the Hon. George S. Bowen. The resi dence of the latter is in the southeast part of the city of Elgin, 111. Bying ton lives directly opposite. -One night Byington dreamed that Bowen's barn was enveloped in flames, and jumped from the bed into the middle of the room, which effort brought him out of somnambulism. He was very mnoh excited, and conld not for a moment comprehend the situation. Impressed, however, with the thought of the barn being on fire, ho prooeeded to the win dow and discovered no signs of a blaze. His wife inquired of him what was the matter, and he replied that he had a dream that Bowen's barn was on fire, and it frightened him very much. The lady said to him that he had better lie down, and not be disturbed on ao oonnt of a dream. Byington returned to bed, bnt trembled like a leaf, and was unable to quiet his nerves, or di vest his mind of the impression of fire at the barn. He says he could not lie there, and felt impelled to go to the barn ; that he could not sleep or rest until he had followed the impulse. In spite of the remonstrance of his good wife, lie nut on his trowsers and shoes only, and taking a revolver in his kand, make tracks quietly for Bowen s barn, a distance of fifteen or eighteen yards. As he neared the barn he thought he heard movements of men inside, and instead of entering the barn, as he would have done had he not heard the noises, he stepped lightly around the north end of the barn, and as he looked around the corner two men walked out of the barn door ou the east side and stepped around to the south end of the barn. Byington stealthily followed ta the next corner, and when he reached it he discovered the two men talking, and heard one say to the other, "Now you go in and get the horse, and I'll fare the thing. Whereupon Mr. By ington disturbed the composure of the villains by saying, " No, I guess you won't." Almost instantly one of the men fired at him, and the ball hit the corner of the barn, within two or three inches of Byineton s left side. Byinir- ton in an instant after was popping away away at the fellows, and after the second shot was fired, one of them who was running south from the barn, cried out: "Don't shoot; I'm hit." By ington said to him: "Stop, or I'll shoot again." The fellow did not stop, and Mr. Byington sent two more bul lets after him. In the morning a bridle was found on the stable floor behind one of the horses, and at the south end of the barn where the men were standing where Byington first disturbed them Mr. Bowen's driver picked up a ball of rags about the size of a cocoanut, which was bound with a string and thorough ly saturated with kerosene oil. He also found on the same spot three or four matches. The purpose of the two men was, we must necessarily conclude, to steal one or more of the good horses whioh Mr. JJowen is possessed of, and then burn the barn to lead the public to think the animals were burned, and thus enable them to make good their escape. How Merchants are Sobbed. Says the New York correspondent of the Buffalo Express ; Not long ago a young man, a clerk in a shipping house in this city, became acquainted with one of those tempters. The clerk be longed to a most excellent family, had been well brought up, and no one thought him capable of doing a dis honest deed. His tempter was also a young man, and one of unusual graces of manner and person. One day he got his victim to ship a lot of goods to his address, in Jersey City, and destroyed the receipt. They sold the goods and shared the proceeds of the sale. The man who had been templed, felt the stings of conscience, and when his friend asked him to do the deed again, he refused. But it was of no use. The "friend "told him if he did not do as he was bid, he would expose him. Anything rather than that 1 He de stroyed another and another, and for a whole year kept up this system of pecu lation. He never received a cent of the guilt money after the first transaction, for the sharper had him in his power, and merely used him as a tool. Final ly, the clerk's dishonesty was discover ed, and he was brought to trial. He appeared to find relief in his arrest, and said that anything was better than the agony of suspense that he had been in for the past year ; that he was ashamed to go home to his mother and sisters at night, and could not look an honest man in the face. JNow it was out, he could make a clean breast of it, which he did. The court, upon learning the facts in the case, released the young clerk, and arrested the real culprit, to whom was dealt the full rigor of the law. During the year the swindling was going on, $3,000 worth of goods were shipped to this receiver in Jersey Uity, and the trial further brought to light tne fact that the same man had several other pluceE where he received goods, from clerks whom he had similarly entrapped. It is said, that the amount of robbery going on in tiiia way, is almost incal culable. The defaulters who swindle bv the $500,000 worth are generally dis covered, if they are not punished, but it seems almost impossible to stop the peculation, which has nearly arrived at the dignity of a nne art.

The discovery of sold washings in some of the streams of that remarkable group of the Black Hills recently ex plored by General Custer and his com mand, says the N. Y. Herald, will doubtless attract tho attention of miners in the neighboring States and Territo ries, and the fascinating descriptions of those new gold washings from the prospectors accompanying General Ous ter may induce bands ot adventurous gold seekers to undertake a journey there. General Sheridan, however, lias warned all such bold pioneers against adventuring to those Black Hills, and for the simple reason that they are in the reservation of the Sioux Indians, and white gold hunters therein will be unlawful trespassers ; that before they can rightfully enter this forbidden re gion they must get the required au thority from the government. Mean time such trespassers will be apt to have " their hair lifted " by the In dians, for those warlike Sioux, the most powerful of all our Indian tribes, have been aggravated by Custer s trespass to the mood for killing and scalping, and they only permitted the invasion of Custer as au exploration because his armed force was too strong to be re sisted. But even with the consent of the government and of the Indians to miners to go and search for gold in those Black Hills there are reasons which should deter them from the haz ardous and doubtful adventure. First, those Black Hills, surrounded by desolate country, lie on the western side of the Territory of Dakota, hundreds of miles from any store of provisions or base of supplies ; and they lie as far north as Nova Scotia, and the general level of their streams is some seven thousand feet above the sea, so that they are probably deep in snow from October to June. Next, as this isolated group of mountains is only some sixty or seventy miles from one side to the other in any direction, and as the gold bearing rocks cover, as it appears, only a small portion of this area, the field is too limited to promise even a hundred miners any washings that will pay their judging from the The railway traiHo of Great Britain has exactly doubled since 18C0. 810 to 81000 invested in Wall Street i .i- fniiiin.

The Saratoga correspondent of the Washington Capital says : " The other night 1 met with one of the ladies who come to Saratoga for no reason that I could hud out. After deolaring that she must go to bed, though it was just nine o clock, because she was so tired, I heard one who knew her better than I did say, ' I don't wonder that you are tired, you never go off this piazza.' ' Where can I go ?' she querulously in quired. ' Get in your carriage and ride.' There is no place to ride ex cept the lake, and everybody goes there.' ' But,' said I, ' there are other lovely rides.' 'They are dusty,' she said : none of the avenues are watered but the one to the lake, and I hate that.' I then asked if she didn't think the walks pretty ? ' I don't know,' she said. I never walk.' 'No.' laughed her friend, ' not even up and down this piazza.' This lady bad her bands coy ered with costly rings, and she wore large solitaire diamonds at her throat and in her ears. She informed me she had never been inside one of the other hotels, for,' said she, ! would only see a crowd of the same kind of people I see here.' She had never heard one of the bands play, nor had she seen the inside ef a ball-room.
