C'nro nl Ntork, President Hoffman spoke to the El inira (N. Y.) farmers' clnb upon the care of sfck during the winter. He said wo nhonld ourselves make still further im provement in this direction, and should rep; at again and again the importance of haviug stock brought into winter quarters vigorous and strong. Begin to ,uivc extra and better feed now. Cows especiu'ly arc apt to receive nesrlect. They should not be allowed to wander over the fftrm and depend upon what tliey can pick up. Liberal feed now will save feed iu the spring. A good coat of ll..'sh is an excellent protection .'gainst the cold of winter. Scrimping stock won't pay at any season, but if it must bo done let it como Rt some other M-nsou than the present. I learned a lesion when a boy from an old man who took care of some calves for us in the woods all one winter. We constructed a oh'-ap hovel for thorn and supplied mm wnn louder, lie sought the pim tego of feeding and caring for them ! hero were abnut a dozen calves. In e.ivly winter I observed that he carried epeh morning about two quarts of corn lueal to his pets, but toward the close of winter ho no Iougor took them meal, but imulj them relv.ou hav alouo. He paid: "That is tho very way make 'em fat iu the fall and they'll stay so all winter." Momentum exerts an import ant influence either up or dowu. Start an uninul down hill iu the fall, and thd wiuter snows and cold will ice the road and mnko resistance almost impossible ; but- cr-t tho animal stiong and fat in the fall, nnd, with strong feed, give it an upward start, and tho momentum will Inst all winter. It really cots but little moro t o keep stock good than poor, if it h intelligently done. Farm Nairn. The Indiana Parmer iays that ;,viinicu foot aud mouth disease has ap peared among the herd of Jerseys of F. M. Churchman.

C-impetent outhority estimates that i'uily thirty per cent, of the cows on the i-iiind of Jersey die of milk fever or a disease closely allied to it a condition, of things wliieh, happily, does not ob tain among the fame biced of stock in our owa country. Three years ago two young ladies of Oakland, Cal., started a bee farm at Los Angeles, and this season they have sent U.oUO pounds of honey to market. It is wonderful how much better all things go on when' a little thought is spent on little things. Little shelters made to keep thiugs warm; little gut ters made to drain away water and keep things dry; little boxes to keep things near the house and save useless steps. It is indeed in the care and thought which the husband and father shows for juot these little things that tells tho whole story as to whether he is a great mv.i or not. Keeping Butler. The A merican Orocer says it is a la mentable fact, known to all but the great majority of the dairymen, that few of them huve the proper facilities for keep ing butter at any season of the year, aud fewer stiil know bow to properly make aud pack it for long keeping. 'A very small percentage of the butter that reaches the prinoipal markets is strictly fine; and much of it that is utale and un marketable would hove brought a fair prioo had it been marketed when Mew. This almost inevitable and rapid deteri oration of butter is a strong argument against its retention by the producer, in tho hopes of higher figures, when re munerative ones are at once within his reach. It is bettor to sell any article when it is ready for the market aud the market is ready to receive it at paying prices. Those who act on any other priuciple will, ia the long run, be the losers. Apple Jelly. The following directions for making Apple jelly come from a Sootoh house wife, aud will be found excellent in all respects. Any kind of juicy apple will answer the purpose : Wipe and core the fruit very quickly, so that the color does not spoil, leaving on the skin. Cut each apple into about eight pieces, pnt them in the preserving pan, with eum- cient water to cover them ; simmer them until the pieces are quite soft, but take them from the fire before they boil into a mash ; strain the juioe through a muslin bag ; return it to the pan, allow fourteen ounces of loaf sugar to every pint of juice, boil twenty minutes. If tho flavor of lemons is liked, allow the juioe and thin rind of one lemon to every six pounds of apples. Michigan has eighteen persona who are over a hundred years old. Hard to Come Pttwn. Somehow it seems hard for onr peo ple, more particularly onr city people, says the New York Times, to come down to the plainer style of living which we knew before the war. The times have changed, but the manners have not. Ever since tho pnnio of 1873 we have been "coming down to bed-rock," as the expressive phrase runs, but thou sands of people refuse to modify their expenditures accordingly. In the na ture of things, it is impossible for men to make tho sudden fortunes, with al most no capital, which were once so common, Hut young men in commer cial life, shut np to the prospect of a certain fixed aud not princely salary, are discontented because they cannot keep luxuriously fnrnishod apartments, en tertain their friends handsomely, and dress expensively. Tho highly respec table young man, of correct habits, who muddles away his modest salary on flue clothes, upholstery, pictures, and brio-a-brao, is in a fair way to be tempted to steal from his employers when ho has a good chauco. Ho cannot endure a plain style of living so mauy of his nssooi atos' manner of life makes his seem mean. Iu this way the temptations of a city life are really uineh greater than tho moralists mako them appar. iho consequences of this false stylo of life aro clearly apparent. If some now Asmodeus could take the roots off our city houses, h would be appalled by the revelation of domestic unhappiness oausod by ambitious extravagance. But, worse than this, is the crime into which so many young men are led by" a similar weakness. i-jinployers do not know much about tho habits and expenses of their servants. We do not exactly see how they cau. The conditions of so ciety have changed very much since the time when young men in shops, ware houses,' and bauking houses were re garded as apprentices, and were a part of tho family of their employers. The only hope for the fntnro is in a moai general practice of economy in all d-a partments of life. Tho old fashioned virtue of frugality seems quito lost. Few young men save anything. Miuiv of mom spend moro than they earn. Tho result is that tho shore is strewn with moral wrecks. A Story of Retribution. The remorse of the dramseller comes. iu most cases, too lute to save bis vic tims, aud even then it is apt to partake very largely of cowardly fear. An inci dent related in the Xew York W itness of the recent history of a " respectable " drm lung saloon iu that city, is painfully signitlcant: One of tho customers had the " mis fortune " to overstep the bounds of moderate drinking and decorum, and was forcibly ejected from the premises by tho proprietor. It was feared from tho firet that the young man was mor tally injured, and so great was the ter ror of the rumseller, in view of tho re sults to himself in case death should en sue, that he was completely prostrated. His wife tried in vain to comfort him, and wished to call a physician, but tho man refused all consolation and advice, saying: " Can a doctor cure a broken heart ?" Tho victim of his cruelty died, and when the long train of funeral carriages passed the house, fingers were pointing from them, like mute signboards, indi cating: "There, there's the house! There, there's the murderer 1" The miserable man, who had risen from Ids bed to look at the procession, saw the fingers ! Each ono was like an arrow of remorte to his soul, which cur dled the blood in his veins, and sent him reeling back to his pillow. Shoitly after, the officers of justice entered for his nrrest. His wife protested: "He is ill; why disturb him ?" " Good woman," they replied, " cease your excuses ; ho cannot evade the law." They thought ho w.,s feiertiinflr sick ness, and proceeded to their work; but as they lifted him from his bed, he ftli back, groaned aud died! It is said, however, that the wifo and daughter of that judgment-stricken man still continue his wicked business in tho same corner! If so, it is only another terrible proof of tho demoral zing, heart-rending effect of the rum traffic. A State I'rison Character. Ex-Warden Haynof furnishes this sketch to tho Walthara (Mas.) Sentinel: I found among tho couvicta in prison, 1858, a man about fifty years old, m whom I soon bocamo quite interested." Upon the theory that "man should bo what they seem," ho was deserving of being classed among the martyrs, al though serving a sentence of" seven years as a common thief. In addition to his protestations of innocence, his un usual good conduct aud roligious pro fessions created n strong feeling in his favor. A part of his duty was once a week to sweep out the chapel. On one occasion he found concealed in that room, for the purpose of escaping, a notorious burglar. A fearful struggle between them was the result; the old man finally succeeded in seouring the man and handing him over to the offi cers. For this act he was purdoned. Two years Liter he was again convicted with two of his sons. It appeared that they had opened a small provision btore in Boston, in which poultry was the principal article of mle. They soon ob tained a reputation for the low prices at which they were enabled to sell their produoo, all of which was satisfactorily accounted for afterward when it was as certained that their store was stocked from the henroosts in the vicinity, which they robbed, giviug them a decided ad vantage over the honest trader. On his recommittal he had the,ame sanctimoni ous appearance which had characterized hurt before. Still feeliDg an unaccountable interest in the old fellow, I remarked that it was a sad sight to see a father and two sons committed to the prison, and inquired if his conscience was not touched in consequence. Yes, Mr. Warden," he replied, drawing down a long face, " it is a sad affair, and I assure you I feel mighty bad about it; but then," he con tinued turning to me with a peouliar twinkle of the eye, " I find one oousola tion in it I know where they are nights.

In the court of commissioners of Ala bama claims in the oaso of Win. Phil lips vs. the United States, the opinion of the court was delivered by Judge Jewell as follows: This is a claim made by the owners of the bark Richmond for compensation for the nse of the said vessel and damage for consequent loss of the " catch " of the same. It appears that the bark Itichmond wan in the mouth of Juno, 1805, in tlio Northern Pooillo ocoan, near Behring straits, pur suing the whaling business. Tho Con federate oruiser Shenandoah had cap turod a large number of winders, and among them the bark General Pike. The others had beon bnrned and tho General Pike spared, and tho officers aud crews of the other vessels, to the num ber of 252, placed on board of her for conveyance to the nearest port which they might be able to reach. The last of those captures was on the twenty eighth day of Juno. On the first day of July the captain of the llichmond felt himself compelled to take ou board of his own vessel a portion of tho officers and men from tho General Piko, uuder circumstances fully detailed by him in a statement aunoxed to tho petition, which is as follows. Ho also added tho state ment of the master: We lefl Honolulu in tho bark Rich mond, bound on a whaling cruise to tho Arctio ocean. While in the prosecution of such, on our arrival in tho vicinity of Behring straits, we camo up with a whaloship on fire; not knowing the cause of it I began saving such articles as I could from the wreck, as she had drifted into the ice, and her mast falling over tho side I found I could save many articles valuable to the use of my own bark, aud as tho wind was agaiutst mo I was not losing much time by so doing. While doing this a ship camo to mo with all sail set, steering to the southward, hailing me as she passed by and telling me there was a pirate clobo at hand, at the same timo advising me to flee as he was doing, for probably all that remain ed would be destroyed. But ou duo consideration I determined not to leave, for I would as quickly lose the ship as to go without oil. I came to the conclu sion I would await a southerly storm or foggy spell usual at such times of tho year and take advautago of the oppor tunity and g-3t through tho str its in spito of tho Shenandoah, as it proved to b. My experience in those waters wonld enable me to do this. w hilo waitiug for a favorable oppor tuuity to do this wo raised a sail in the north coming toward us. A few hours after tho u ind died away, and a boat was lowered from hei aud came iu puivsuit of us. Coming alongside I was sur prised to see so many faces of 6hip mas ters. They had beon taken by tho onenamioan and put oa board the Uen eral Pike. They stated they were crowded and suffering from want of room, etc. They ail joined iu begging mo for the sake of humanity to relieve them. I wout on board of the General Pike to see for myself, and found they naa not misrepresented the matter. J next returned to my own vessel, consult ed with my officers and came to the con clusion that wo ought to relieve them. 1 then told the ship masters aud pris oners that if thay still insisted on my taking a portion of them and would give me the same in writing with their signatures, which was ugroed to and signed by all the ship masters, I dare not do otherwise. Under such coudi tious I had to submit. They put ou board of mo fifty-two m. and with those I sailed for Honolulu, thereby losing my season. (Siguod) W. P. Weeks, Master. j 81ATBUENT OF MASTF.1IS. !

The conudct of the master of the Rich mond, os shown in this statement, in re- lusmg to Hoe trom the Shenandoah, say lug he would " as quick lose his ship as io go witnout on," supporting his oecla ration by his action in remaining, and in finally yielding to tho considerations of humanity, what Le would not yield to iear, ia worthy or the highest praise. His desire of inakiug a cargo of oil was greater than his fear of capture by the Shenandoah. What fear could not con strain him to do, feelings of humanity did. After a careful examination of the necessity he voluntarily abandoned his own adventure to save tho lives of tho officers and mon put in peril upon the overcrowded General Pike. Nothing more honorable or praiseworthy has been shown in all our hearings." Can tho court make compensation for the loss thereby incurred? We are compell ed to say that under no view of the act of (Jougress creating this court can we nna authority so to do. The claims ad misMible before us must be such as di rectly result from damage caused by the so-called insurgent cruisers. In two cases heretofore considered by us where vessels were captured by the Alabama. and the crews of other vessels put on Doaru xor transportation to a port of dis charge, we have Rwardod compensation for suoh oompulsory service, but both these vessels had been actually captured. Here there was no capture. The potition mast no aismissea. Woman's Devotion.

MASSES of corrER. Hew AIrm Copper I Mined The Dllllrnl. lire Atteniiinft ine worn. Tho lamest continuous mass of copper which has been taken out of the mines of tho Lake Superior region was proba bly that from the Minnesota in 1857, which is variously stated as weighing 420 tons and 470 tons. Its length was about fortv-flve feot, its breadth or height twenty-two feet, and its greatest thickness eight foot. All suh masses are very irregular aud ragged in their form and thickness, thinning out gradu ally from a foot to a few inches, nnd struggling through tho vciu until they connect with other largo masses. llns was the character of a mass found iu tho Plunuix mine, no o the oldest on tho lake, which mass altogether weighod somo six hundred tons. But this was really a series of masses more - or less connected by strings of metal, yet no oue largo part of it weighod, singly, over two hundrod tons. A similar series of masses, weighing about six hundred tons, was extracted from tho Minnesota. Some of the Phoenix masses were four or five feet thick of solid copper. The Cliff mine has yielded masses weighing from ono hundred to ono hundred and fifty tons in ono piece. Ono of forty tons was taken out this year, besides unracrouB blocks weighing from oue to eight tons. This mine and tho Central are now yielding mass copper in abun dance. It is of course impossible to pick, or to drill, or to break out such hugo mass es of solid metal, whon they are found by drifting upon tho courso of the vein. Tho method is ns follows : Therminer picks out, or excavates, a narrow passnaro or chamber upon ono side of tho mass, laving it baro as far as possible over its whole surface. It is usually firmly held oy us oioko union wim tuo voin stuff, or by its irregular projections, above, be low and at tho end. If it then cannot bo dislodged by levers, the excavation of a chamber is commenced behind the mass, aud this excavation is made large enough to receive from five to twenty or moro kegs of powdor. In one instance, in the Uhll mine, a charge or twenty-one kegs of powder threw down two huu dred tons of copper. Bags of sand aro used for tamping, ana the drift is closed up by a barricade of reluso aud loose dirt. After such a blast the drift is, of course, charged with roul air, nnd it can not be safely entered for hours after wards. If entered too soon, men lose all strength in their limbs, and fal down. The huge masses of copper dislodged iu this way are too largo to bo handled and got to tho surface. They have to be cut up. The copper cutters are called in, and the mass is marked oil in squares or blocks of suitable size. Copper cutting is a distinct art, und requires considera ble skill aud experience. Ordinary min ers, however skillful they mny be, can not cut up copper without long training. The tools arc pimply narrow chisels nnd striking hammers. The chisels are shaped like the parting tools or turners. They are made of flat bars of half inch steel, about two inches wide and eigh teen inches long. They aro chamfered each way like a cold chisel, to form the cutting edge. This edge is made a little longer than the thickness of tho bar. The cutter holds the chisel and two men strike it. A thin slice or chip of copper is in this way cut out iu a narrow chan nel across the mass of copper. The operation is repeated until the narrow out, but little over half an inch wide, has been carried through the mass. The chips cut out iu this way are long, nar row strips of copper only about half as Ion? as tho groove from which they are taken, the metal being condensed anil thickened by tho force of the blow. This woik is necessarily slow and te dious, and it costs $12 per square foot by contract. At this price, tho cutters make 82 per day. Scientijh American. Hotel Charge". The York (Pa.) Democrat tells the following story : Not Jong since two York men visited Kansas. Th?y stop ped at a hotel one forenoon, and after dinner ono of them walked down to the barber's shop to get shaved. The shop was shut, tho barber having gone off to take his after-dinner nap. Then the York man walked back to the landlord and said : " With your magnificent country, which is the garden of the world, you ought to be t e most prosper ous people on earth . That you are not is duo to the fact that you don't attend to business. You don't look out for coppers. Here's your barber now, shut up and gone when he might have earned ten cents by shaving me. Now he don't get it, for I'm going to shave my self,' and save my cents. I have a razor in my valiso, aud if you will show me a mirror, I will shave myself. " The land lord said tho barber was a shiftless man, who, like most Western men, couldn't compare with Peunsylvauians for atten tion to business, and patience iu scoop ing in tho dimes ; but he hoped they would all improve in time, and then ho showed our friend into a room where he found a good-sized mirror, and shaved himself. Soou after, he joined his com panion nnd congratulated himself on the success ho had had in saving ten cents, and teaching Western men financiering. After tea the pair paid their bills and went to tho depot to take tho train. On their way tho man who hadn't shaven said : " Pretty reasonable house, that ; only a dollar for dinner and supper." " Only a dollar "..said the other, " why, I paid a dollar and a half !" and a little further explanation showed that ho had been charged nity per cent, more than his companion. So back" he went, and demanded of the landlord au explana tion, and got it in these words: "The titty cents extra is for the use of a room. You don't suppose wo can have our rooms turned into barber shops for nothing, do you?" and tho man who shaved himself went to the depot a sad der if not a better man. He don't brag much of his adventure since his return to York, and it will be some time before he attempts to give another Western man a lesson in financiering. Don't Worry About Yourself. To regain or recover health, says the Journal of Health, persons should be relieved from all anxiety concerning dis eases. The mind has power oyer the body, I1 or a person to think he has a disease will often produce thut disease. This we see effected when the mind is intensely concentrated upon the disease of another. It is f ouud in the hospitals that surgeons and physicians who make a specialty of certain diseases are liable to die of it themselves ; and the mental power is so great that sometimes people cue oi diseases whion they only nave m imagination. We have seon a person seasick in anticipation oi a voyage be fore reaching the vessel. We have known a person to die of canoer in the stomach when he had no canoer or any other mortal disease. , A blindfolded man, slightly pricked in the arm, has fainted and died from believing that ho was bleeding to death. Therefore, wel persons, to remain well, should bo cheer ful, and happy ; and sick persons should have their attention drawn as much as possible from themselvos. It is by their faith mon me saved, and it is by their faith that men die. If ho wills not to die ho can often live in spite cf disease ; and if ho has little or no attachment to life ho will slip awny ns easily as a child will fall asleep.

It has lately come to light that a widow lady at Oriskany Falls, N. Y., holds a mortgage on tho larger part of oue of tho best farms in JUauison. its existenoe was not known to the present owner until recently, though it is found duly recoulod in tho clerk's office at Morrisville, and has been standing eightt.cn years. Not a dollar has ever been paid on it. Tho mortgager has beon dead many years. The unfortunate owner, of tho farm, after examination and inquiry, says ho finds nothing to impair tho validity of tho incumbrance, that valuable as tho land is, the amount of tho mortgage and interest is much moro tlinu tho property is worth, and that it must go from his possession un der foreclosure. No explanation has yet hapn made why payments have not been heretofore demonded. His csro is another illustration of tho necessity of examining tho records before pur chasing real estate. "If you don't believe times are hard," says Flora McFlimsoy, "just feel my mult ; it s mulled with rags instead of cotton."
