    FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Itrenkln Colt for the Saddle.
A member of the American farmers'
club offored some hints abont breaking
colts. He said that the first and all
importnnt step to be gained is making
the animal acknowledge a master. This
is soon accomplished, provided the
groom avoids betraying any fear in
handling the colt and keeps his temper,
always being quite gentle with the rest
ive subject and careful not to needlessly
startle or frighten him. When the colt
is three years old it is time to begin the
process of breaking him to the saddle or
carriage or both, according to the needs
of the owner. Before this age he can
be halter broken and somewhat tamed,
which greatly facilitates matters later.
This can best be done by putting on a
biting-bridle, that is, a bridle with a
lorge, smooth bit and double set of
reins, which will at the same time hold
up the head and hold in the nose. These
reins aro buckled to a girt as is also a
back-strap with a crupper. Having put
on this arrangement turn the colt out in
a pasture and let him enjoy the biting
bridle as best he can for an hour or two.
Eepeat this several days in succession,
after which try leading the animal be
side another horse for a number of
miles until he is thoroughly tired. The
second time vary the route taken, so
that unaccustomed scenes will meet his
eye. By this treatment which should
soon be followed without the trained
horse the colt will learn to travel
straight along, without turning and
starting at every object he meets. The
chief trouble comes when the animal is
mounted for the first time. The mem
ber advised trying an empty saddle be
fore allowing any one to stride his back.
Once mounted and somewhat under
control, ride the colt from five to ten
miles every day, teaching him the
things he does not know, and gently
correcting all his little tricks. At this
stage of affairs the horse should be
taught the different gaits: Fil-st, to walk
at least five miles an hour; second, to
trot (unless he is a natural pacer, in
which case the pace should come sec
ond); third, to run; fourth, to canter;
and fifth, to pace. This member thought
farmers very often overlooked the lm
portance of teaching a horse to walk
rapidly, and urged the necessity of their
learning all nve of the paces mentioned.
He thought, when practicable, that the
custom entertained south of never driv
ing saddle horses nor riding carriage
horses is one to be recommended every
where.
medical Hints.
To Uure a fcSoALD. Take the super
fine alum flour and lard, and rub to
gether to the consistency of a salve; ap
ply over the part affected, and if any
portion becomes dry, patch it with the
same, but in no case remove any part
that remains intact.
It is said that common mullen, steeped
strong and sweetened, is highly bene
ficial for consumptives. It should be
gathered in the early summer, dried,
and taken continuously for some months.
A Eeoipb to Cure Burns. Take a
large handful of sweet clover, a piece of
mutton tallow as large as a goose egg, if
you have it if not, lard will answer, and
simmer them together, and then strain;
then add half as much beeswax as tallow,
and half as much resin as beeswax, and
melt together, and you will have an ex
cellent salve for burns, as also for many
other purposes.
Care should be taken to keep infants'
nursing bottles perfectly sweet and
clean. As sulphur is used largely in
the manufacture of the vulcanized India
rubber, the action of any acid food on
this is highly injurious to the health of
children. The best preservative against
this is to have two tubes, one in use and
the other constantly soaking in water,
iu which a little washing soda has been
dissolved.
Neuralgia is one of the most common
of female complaints one of the most
painful and difficult of treatment. It is
also a cause of much mental depression,
and leads more often to habits of intem
perance than any other. This growing
prevalence of neuralgia may to some ex
tent be referred to the effects of cold
upon the terminal branches of the nerves
distributed to the skin ; and the reason
why men are less subject to it than
women may be to a great extent be ex
plained by the much greater protection
afforded by the mode in which the
former cover their heads when they are
in the open air.
Feeding Plge.
C. H. B., Genesee county, N. Y.,
writes to the farmers' club : "I am
feeding a lot of young pigs for fall kill
ing. Is oat meal and bran good, and
does it make bone? Is oil meal good
for pigs?"
Reply. In feeding pigs for pork bone
is not wanted, but flesh and fat. To
produce the most of this we would use
potatoes boiled, and corn, oats and bran
ground together, mixed with them. We
have fed with good results the following :
One bushel of potatoes, boiled and
turned with the water into a barrel ;
then half a bushel of the ground meal
poured in, and the whole mashed with a
pounder into mush. This to be fed
when cold. A handful of salt should be
used with every such mess. Now that
potatoes are cheap they will make cheap
food. The ground meal mixed into a
mash with boiling water also makes an
excellent feed. Oil meal is not readily
eaten by pigs. It is too rich for them.
The Potato Beetle.
Mr. Todd said to the American farm
ers' club that the bugs were beginning
to make their appearance in New Jersey.
He knew of no remedy for them except
catching and killing them. Mr. Crane
said that by the use of paris green, mix
ed with water, millions of them can be
killed in a short time. Dr. Trimble
said that there was a good deal of un
necessary fear about these bugs. There
were plenty of bugs last year, yet the
potato crop was unusually large. Judg
ing from this we should say that some
of the members of the club never saw a
potato patch that the bugs had been
playing in, and which looked as though
a fire had swept through it.
Singular Murder Case,
A curious case of killing is reported
in San Francisco. Mrs. E. Perkins and
Willie, her son, a boy fourteen years
old, and Jack Connors were sitting in
the portico of Mrs. Perkins' lodging
house one evening, when a man passed
wearing a very peculiar hat. The boy
called out: "Oh, what a hat I" The
man stopped and said : " If yoa don't
like my hat you had better come down
and take it off I" Jack said : "Hold
on a minute, and I'll do it for you."
The man then started up the steps to
be convenient, and Jack came out with a
revolver ready for business. Jack began
beating the man of the hat over the
head with the revolver. At the second
blow the pistol was discharged in his hand,
the load entering the breast of the boy,
who was standing behihd Jack seeing
the fun.

Maggie White, of Cohoes. July 5.
1874, was found drowned in the Mo
hawk river, caught in the cable that
hangs suspended from shore to shore, on
the south side of the lower bridge that
spans that stream at Oohoes. Maggie
was a charming girl a reigning belle
and when it was developed that she was
enceinte suspicion fastened upon Mar
shall Rich, who had been very attentive
to and intimate with the girl, and the
inference was that he, knowing her con
dition, liad murdered the victim to rude

the inquest the evidence was very con
flicting, and the coroner's jury returned
uieir verdict: "Xnat Maggie White

adduced than that furnished at the in
quest, there not being enough to war
rant Rich's arrest, the case went by de
fault. The sequel is as follows: Miss
O'Hare, of Oohoes, is in correspondence
with some friends in Illinois, and she
received a paper published in that lo
cality containing an account of the death
of Marshall Rich, and the story of his
confession of the murder while on his
deathbed. He recounts his criminal in
timacy with Maggie, and says that the
knowledge troubled him, as he was not
iu a fit condition to marry her. On the
evening of the twenty-seventh of June
he met her shortly after she returned
from Troy, and, as usual when they
met, they walked and conversed to
gether. After walking some time some
strange fatality led them in the direction
of the high or railroad bridge, and still
they strolled along, she little dreaming
of danger. As they neared the middle
of the bridge, she confidingly leaning on
his arm, she on the south side of the
walk and nearest to the edge, at onoe the
damnable notion seized him with irre
sistible force that by throwing her from
the bridge he could in one brief moment
end at once his care and relieve his mind
of the anxiety as to the consequences of

with a sudden push he threw her from
the parapet of the bridge, and with a
smothered shriek her form sunk into the
turbid waters of the Mohawk. He
watched for a few brief moments the
spot where she disappeared from view,
to see if she again would rise to the sur
face, but his watching was in vain; he
never saw her again until he gazed upon
the bloated and disfigured corpse of his
victim. Rich, after the murder of his
victim, lost no time in again returning
to Ovid. As no one had seen him iu the
city during the two days previous to the
murder, he hoped to escape suspicion.
At last taken sick and stricken with
death, he felt that he must relieve his
conscience of the weight imposed upon
it since the commission of the crime.
Hence the confession of the murdor
that forever sets at rest all speculation
as to how the beautiful Maggie White

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
No fool can be silent at a feast.
Next to faith in Qod is faith in labor.
The greatest pleasuro of life is love,
To live long, it is necessary to live
slowly.
In bringing up a child, think of its
old age.
Love can hope where reason would
despair.
Indolence and stupidity are first
cousins.
The miserable have no other medicine
but hope.
While we are reasoning concerning
lile, hie is gone.
The love which arises suddenly is the
most dimcult to cure.
Wo can do more good by being good
than ia any other way.
To give pain is the tyranny, to make
happy the true empire of beauty.
He shall be immortal who liveth till
he is stoned by one without fault.
I think it best not to dispute where
there is no probability oi conv ncing,
As words can never be recalled, speak
only such words as you never wish to
recall.
Our souls must become expanded by
the contemplation of nature's grandeur
before we can fully comprehend the fea
tures of man.
It is the mind that makes us rich and
happy in what condition soever we are;
and money signifies no more to it than
it does to the gods.
We do not take possession or our
ideas, but are possessed by them. They
master us and force us into the arena,
whew, like gladiators, we must fight for
them.
Enjoy the flowers on your pathside;
but do not spend too much of your pil
grim time and strength, too many of
your precious sunlit hours, to stoop and
gatuer them.
Let us carefully observe those good
qualities wherein our enemies excel us,
and endeavor to excel them by avoiding
what is faulty and imitating what is ex
cellent in thorn.
Lost his Ship
The following inoident in connection
with the Ville du Havre disaster which
happened in mid-ocean, Nov. 22, 1873,
was related recently by one of the survi
vors: Capt. TJrquhart of the Tri-Moun-
tain did everything in his power for the
rescued, and in the end charged only a
moderate salvage. This displeased the
two persons who. with Cant. Urauhart.
owned the vessel, and they sold the boat
at auction, as agreed upon in case of
dissatisfaction. This threw the captain
ont of command, and left him without
meads adequate to get another. One of
the rescued passengers of the Ville du
Havre learned of the matter, resolved
that the rescued should reward the gen-
erous rescuer, and soon had 815.0CQ on
a subscription list. The result was that child in the colony. Specialties aro

in Washington was one night attacked
by rats, which gnawed away the fleshy
portion of its left hand, and inflicted
many gashes about the neon and chest,
severing an important artery.' The cries

its rescue, but it is feared that it will not
survive.
ANTIPODAL PROGRESS.
Queensland nt Ihe lxMblilf n...xie Hhow

If there is any quarter of the globe to
which the American people have not
been looking for an extraordinary dis
play of national rt sources and progress
at the Exhibition, that place is probably
Australia. But the exhibits of Queens
laud, Victoria, South Australia and New
South Wales, in the Main building, dis
pel any preconceived ideas of insignifi
cance relative to these colonies, and are
not surpassed either in extent or interest
by those of nations that were in the
zenith of their power when the shaggy
haired and flabby muscled native Aus
tralian was undisputed monarch of the
?;reatest island on the globe. Of these
our colonies Queensland takes the palm.
uer goods are not exhibited for sale,
but to show the superior advantages the
country offers to colonists, and thereby
to encoarasre immigration. This is to
be said of the other Australian colonies
also. Mr. Angus Mackay, chief com
missioner of Queensland, and editor of
the Queen dander, is instructed, while
superintending the display, to examine
American machinery, it being proposed
to introduce it in the colony, which thus
far has been a producing and not a
manufacturing country. Queensland
comprises over one fifth of all Australia,
and is morb than three times as large as
T( xas. The style of living corresponds,
as a rule, with that in California, owing,
in a great measure, to the similarity of
climate and industries between both
countries.
The section of Queensland in the
Main building is inclos d by a neat,
plain, rectangular structure and has nine
hundred and sixty square feet of wall
space and 4,001) squire feet of floor
s, ace. The aggregate value of the ex
hibits is hardly 1 ss than a quarter mil
lion dollars. The upper half of the
walls is covered with charts showing the
geological formation of the country as
far back as the most unpronounceable
of the epochs, and also the relative
prices and productive capacities of farm
lauds. The lower half of the walls is
occupied by hundreds of colorod pho
tographs of romantic scenery and land
scapes, designed, with the aid of refer
ence schedules, to show the kinds of
farm lands which may be purchased for
specified prices. For instance, there is
a piece of fertile lowland sprinkled with
wood growth marked " five shillings per
acre;" there, an undulating ropion of
cleared land, with streams eliding
through the valleys, and to be had for
ten shillings an acre; and over further a
level, cultivated strip of ur.usual rich
ness, with a flock of sheep rushing
toward a stream in the foreground and a
pioneer s thatched and comfortable cot'
tago m a grove in the rear, which may
be purchased at fifteen shillings nn sere.
The most prominent feature of the floor
space is a gilt monument, twenty feet
six mcnes in neignc, inree icet tnree
inches square at the base and sixteeu
inches square at a point one foot from
the top, where it begins to taper to a
point. This represents the bulk of all
the gold mined in Queensland during
the years 1868 to 1876, inclusive. This
precious mass weighed sixty-five tons,
twelve cwt., forty-one pounds and six
ounces, its value being $35, 000, 000. The
wealth of Queensland in minerals is in
calculable, and doubtless when the gold
mines of Victoria and California shall
have been worked out, as are now thooo
of Havilflh and Ophir of eld. the
mundic reefs of tropical Queensland
will, with the aid of chemical skill, be
only just commencing to distil their
long hoarded treasures, so wisely guarded
by nature and kept back from too early
ransacks, in wait for the time of need
when other sources of gold will have
become exhausted. This metal is ex
hibited here mainly in quartz. The
country possesses the richest gold reefs
in the world, averaging over two ounces
to the ton of quartz throughout.
The principal other metal j are copper
ana tin, and these are shown in pyra
mids of ingots as well as in the natural
state. Huge nuggets of almost pure
copper in the latter condition exhibit
the effects of fire to which they wore
subjected in some pre-historio age
Specimens oi chrome iron, occurring in
serpentine rocK in inexnaustible quanti
ties near xpsmcn, and of spicular iron
f(und in various parts of the colony,
are shown. The iron and antimony,
however, though both of them abund
ant, are not worth working in Qeens
land, as compared with other metals
there. Vials full of free gold, of vari
ous degrees of fineness, are arrayed as
pientituiiy, ana ratner more temptingly,
man tne potties on tne eneives of an
apothecary. All the coal thus far die
covered in Queensland has been bitu
miuous. The coal fields cover an area
of about 12,000 square miles. The
quantity of coal mined in 1873 was 33,
613 tons. It is, however, too unfavor
ably situated for bringing to market,
A curious specimen is the rosewood coal
fossilized piano, probably retaining
all the sensible properties of rosewood
except color. Lauds containing coal
may be purchased anywhere m this
colony before or after survey, and in
any quantity not exceeding three huu
dred an twenty acres at thirty shillimri
an acre; the buyer, however, must ex
peud one pound per acre in working the
mines within one year from the time
of sale. Though the display of white,
gray, red and variegated marbles is ex
tensive, these materials form no consid
erable portion of the mineral wealth of
the country.
From the prominence given to the
skulls and other bones of the dugoDg
or sea cow, one might imagine that beast
to be the idol of a pagan country. The
secret of it is, however, that the dugong
affords delicious meat, combining the
dainty flavor of the turtle steak with
the delicacy of the veal sweet bread, and
without a trace or nshiness about it.
Another curiosity is the thick, strong,
even fiber of the Oida Retwa, or
Queensland hemp, a plant that grows as
a weed, and could be cultivated to any
extent. The yield of the fiber, taken
out by merely soaking and washing in
water, is fully one thousand pounds per
acre. The plant, it is supposed, would
yild abundauce of paper making ma-
terial. The Angora and other varieties
of wool displayed are of the finest
staple and length. Of this product the
Queenslanders export over $50 worth
per annum for every man, woman and
raised in the oolony in 1873 to turn out
1,300 tons of flour. Sugar isjdestined to
figure heavily in the commerce of
Queensland. In 1866 there was no
sugar grown there at all, but the yield
for 1874 was no less than 14,000 tons,
and the quality has increased with the
quantity.
There are hundreds of sections and
other speoimens of the bard woods for
whioh Queensland is famous. These are
highly polished, and comprise speci
mens of the white beach, which sever

and not affected by wet situations, as
when used for piles or fencing ; the
accaoia, or " wattle " tree, whioh, in its
finest speoimens, attains a height of
eighty feet before its diameter begins to
grow less than three feet, and many
others equally useful or curious. Peo
ple of an extremely scientific turn of
mind have an opportunity in this sec
tion of inspecting Queensland road and
farm soils, and of learning their chemi
cal composition, while those fond of ex
amining f ossiferous, volcanio and meta

gratified also.
It must be a great country for butter
flies, judging from tho hundreds rf
these insects, of nearly all the known
species, fastened with their wings out
stretched to the interior of a showcase,
and forming a fanciful pattern in which
blend all the colors of the rainbow, with
scores of their derivatives. These and
the hides of the kangaroo and scrub
wallaby are the only representatives of
Queensland's division of the animal
kingdom. The display will set people
to thinking. It is but sixteen years
since the population of the colony was
only VHJ.Uub persons; now it is over 168,
000, an increase of COO per cent. The
days are past, except in tho interior of

Sturgeons in ITarncss.
Mr. itobert JLi. .Feu, residing near
Wett Park on the Hudson, has made an
experiment in utilizing a sturgeon, from
whicu he extracted much entertainment
for himself and visitors. Having caught
a fino fish of the kind, nine feet long, it
occurred to him that it was sufficiently
powerful to draw a boat with at leastone
man. Ihe hsh was therefore secured
until a leather and rope harness could
bo attached to his body in a way which
prevented its slipping back of the fins.
The fi-ih was placed in an artificial lake,
about a quarter of a mile long, on the
grounds of Mr. Pell.
Iu order to obtain the services of the
sturgeon when needed, a pair of rope
reins, eighteen feet long, were attached
to the harness, and these were fastened
to a large cork float, which swam upon
the water. A boat five and a half feet
long and two and a half wide was then
constructed. It could contain but one
man, and in that Mr. Pell took his seat,
and attached tho chain at the bow to tho
floating cork. The sturgeon soon begun
to move, and tho moment he realiz d
that a further impediment exinted to his
movements he shot frantically ahead.
The boat swayed to and fro, ond the
spray, dashing furiously from tho prow,
Hew in every direction, frequently the
gunwale was an inch or two below the
water s edge, but such was the rapidity
of motion that the water had not time to
OTOlloT ill. The lake bciug but noveu-
teen feet deep, and tho reins eighteen
feet long, there was no possibility of
being pulled under the water by the
divnig of the nsh, and the career of the
boat was uninterrupted. The sturgeon
kept near the sides of the lake and swam
four times around without slacking his
pace. He then rose to the surface, roll
ed on his back, and exposed his white
stomach to the sunshine, as if to say,
" I have swum long enough, and am not
going any further."
Mr. Pell, satisfied with his experi
ence, then detached the boat from tho
float and landed. The fish soon again
disappeared. At each subsequent sail,
whether by Mr. Poll or any one else, the
fish would rush regularly four times
around the lake and no more. He would
then, as at first, regularly roll over on
his back and rest.
A neighbor of Mr. Pell oaught a large
sturgeon, and imitated his experiment
in the river. Matters worked well for a
few moments, but it suddenly occurred
to the sturgeon to dive. This, the
river being deep, he could easily do,
To the dismay of his owner, under went
the cork float, and a violent jerk at tho
prow of the boat was a warning to jump
into the stream. The boat went down
and was lost to sight for several min
utes. That was the beginning and end
of harnessing sturgeons as a river pas
time.
A Thrilling Experience.
Probably the most thrilling experience
of the burning of the steamer Pat. Cle
burne was that of James La Hue, the
first mate of the Cleburne. He had gone
to bed in his stateroom, immediately in
the rear of Capt. Fowler's room. He
says he did not hear tho explosion, and
when he awoke the timber was falling
through and everything crashing around
him. He felt the tire against lis feet,
and drawing them up found that he was
tightly wedged in between the timbers,
He then tried to loosen the planks, but
could not find a hole through which he
could even get his head.
Giving up all for lost, he turned over
and resolved to inhale the flames and
perish at once, rather than die by de
grees and bo roasted in the flames, which
were fast and furiously crackling and
roaring around him. Just then he heard
the voice of his gallant but helpless cap
tain calling out:
"La Rue, pull me out I am burning
to death 1"
With almost superhuman strength he
broke down the partition and caught
Captain Fowler by his clothes, but
found it impossible to get him through.
By this time the mattress on which Mr.
La Rue lay had caught fire, and placing
his left hand 'beneath him he found that
he was lying on top of the heater. An
other desperate struggle for freedom
and the planks gave way and he crawled
out through the darKness ana aeons.
By this time Captain Fowler's piteous
voice had ceased and perhaps his spirit
had taken its flight forever. As he was
scrambling up through the dark, La Rue
came upon Alex. Porter, the second
clerk, sitting just above the steam drum,
his feet literally cooked. Soizing him
with his disabled hand, with hia other
he worked his .way upward, a-d finally
reached the hurricane roof and carried
Porter aft and down the btairwjy to the
yawl. As he passsed down the aft stair
way he heard the soreama of the lady
passengers, and rushing back to a state
room he seized a quilt and wrapped it
about his boJv. una Katheiii.g the

medicine ever invented. I thank God and

Most medicines which aro advertised as
blood purifiers and liver modicines contain
either mcroury, iu some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of these
agent have strong tendency to break down
the blood corput-cles ana debilitate and other
wise permanently injure the human system,
and should therefore be discarded. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Modical Discover', on the
other band, being composed of the fluid ex
traois of native plants, barks and roots, will in
no case produce injury, its effects being
strengthening ana curative only. Barsaparilla,
whioh used to enjoy quite a reputation as a
blood purifier, is a remedy of thirty years ago.
and may well give place, as it is doing, to the
more positive ana vainaoie vegetable altera
tives which later medical investigation and
discovery have brought to light. Iu scrofula or
king's evil, white swellings, ulcers, erysipelas,
swelled nock, goiter, scrofulous inflammation,
mercurial affections, old sores, eruptions of
the skin, and sore eyes, as in all other blood
die eases, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery ha? shown its great remedial powers,
curing the most obstinate and intractable
cases, cold oy an aeaiors in meaicines.
Something that Concerns Everybody.
Among the crowd of proprietary medicines
that seek acceptance from the public through
the advertising columns of the prvag, there is
now and thou one which deserves the reoom
mondation of the editorial fraternity. In such
iDBtauccs, and in no other, we feel at liberty,
and in fact deem it almost a duty, to express a
favorable opinion of the article. We have
been asked repeatedly if Bale's Honey o
Horehomid and Tar waa really a epcoiflo for
coughs and colds, and have had no hesitation
in giving an affirmative reply. What we have
said privately to friends and acquaintances,
thero can be no impropriety in reiterating in
print. It is an excellent medicine. No one
who has taken it aa a remedy for ailments of
the throat and lungs, or has observed its effect
on others in cases of this nature, can enter
tain any doubt of its curative power. Hart-
tora Timet. .
It is often remarked by strangers visit
ing our 8Uto that we show a larger proportion
oi goou norses tnan any ocner state in tne
Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons : In the first place, we breed
from tho very best stock ; and in the second
place, our people use Nlteridan't Cavalry Con
dition J'oirdert, which, in our judgment, are
of incalculable advantage.
