FARM, GAKDCX AM) KuUSEHOLI). Beet t'nllure. When iu this country, no in Enroim, becomes known that for evtfv.y rW ft certain qunnMty of beets for rt of her winter s food is A necessity, and when irn, ns there, nenYly every farmer frrows onsiiels of U,Pm in proportion to the number of cattle he keeps, wo shall have nailo a great advance. At present not one farmer in twenty raises beets for his cattle, not because of doubt nn to Ittoif value, but on account flf the great trouble supposed to attend their cultiva tion, storing nd feeding. The writer Jms grown them at the rate of 2,000 Jnishela to the acre, and thinks, with or fcy the use of the Stockbridge mnmtrt and irrigation, he could grow thvm t the same rate on the same pfctfe tit land for several years. Sis Way with them is to plant one acre of beets for every dozen cows, Lane's imperial sugar beet, or yel low globe mangold. Preference is given to this beet because it yields more ttud s of better quality, but the differetieo is Bm"u A gravelly clay or sandy loam will do, if rich and level and within a gooa natural under - drainage. The rKoBt crops, without mauuro, and tho leaHt trouble from weeds, have been grown, when the beets have followed vires, potatoes or cabbage which were planted on rich meadow turf the year be fore. In this way they have a rich soil with few weeds. In the fall, if conven ient, the ground is thrown into ridges with the plow, and cross-plowed find thoroughly pulverized in (he upring as Boon as dry enough to work. The roller follows and then the marker j a corn marker drawn by a horse will do, setting the teeth from thirty to thirty-six inches npart, letting the first row be perfectly straight with a line. If one has no seed jlnll the seed can be quickly dropped by hand. First walk the length of atid in the furrows made by the marker, step ping only the length of one's foot. The heel-mark of the boot shows where to drop the seed ; one cluster, called a fleed, will be all that need be dropped in a place . if god, it will produce from two to fonr plants. The seed should be Soaked from twenty-four to forty-eight hours m warm water, then mixed in raster enough to take up tho moisture, never allowing the plaster to dry on tho needs, and be sure to put them into, or cover with, moist earth when planted, in this way the sprouts are forced nut of the ground iu about foity.eigU hours and thus a good start ahead of the weeds is obtained. As soon as the weeds ap pear the horse cultivator, set to run shallow, should be run once each way between the rows, followed immediately by the hoe, cleaning out the weeds be' tween the plants in the rows. In to n or twelve days the cultivator should be used as before, at which time the plants should be thinned, leaving but one in a place and setting plants in spaces where the seed failml tn nnmo r m tiori mid earthing up Bhould be avoided in oect culture, as it produces a scraggy, flbroiw growth. The two cultivations as above, will do for all the requirements of the beets. The leaves of the beets now shade and smother the weeds in the row. But one does not like to see any weeds left on such a plot of ground as his beets should grow on, and hence going over the ground, pulling weeds by baud, or very shallow cultivation, irmv bo necessary.

An early application of thin kind will seldom fail to put back a ielon. Of course the remedy is some what severe, but it does not compare in this respect to the disease. Bunions. The treatment consists in removing all pressure from the part. The formation of the bunion muy in the beginning be prevented, but only in the begiuniug; for when once actually form ed, it is scaroely possible ever to be got rid of, and it remains an everlasting plaguo. To prevent the formation of a buuion, it is necessary, whenever or wherever a shoe or boot pinches, to have it eased at once, and so long as that part of the foot pinched remains tender, not to put on the offending shoe again. Whenever inflamed, it niuet be bathed in warm water and poulticed. The Bluek Snakes or Floridu. " A resident of Florida says he always encourages black enukes to live about the house, as they are excellent vermin killers, driving away rats and rabbits, which do much mischief in house and garden. They themselves are harmless, except that sometimes they steal eggs and poultry, and perhaps now and then a kitten may be gobbled up. On one occasion a black snake (which grows to the length of eight or nine feet) took a kitten, and finding it to his taste came for another," when the two house cats at tacked and killed him after a severe bat t'e. It is not only the rattlesnake which u killed by the blaeksuuke, but it has the hubit of killing and eating all other serpents which it can overcome, whifdi t does by strangulation.

The scenes of destruction re ported from Rustchuk repeated .them selves in every Turkish town assailed. The crossing at fiicopolis from Turuu Matfiircli wos witnessed by the czar, who sat on horseback at the summit of Mount Grapavi. The Turks made a desperate resistance with every available man whom they could muster. Oppos ing tf.e lauding were ten Turkish bat talions ami eighteen field cannon. Sav flge fighting took place on the banks and in a little time the corpses were thickly strewn there. Still the Russians came on; for every man killed, ten were ready to take his place. The Eighth Russian corps, under the command of General Radetsky, embarked behind the island of Vardin, opposite the mouth of the Jantia, some distance be low the town of Siuinitza. The Four teenth division covered the embarkation with field artillery and sharpshooters. The Turkish force opposing this mov ment was soon re eliiorced from the neifftiberirlc towns f Tiioin Ttotin wigrad and other points, but they did not arrive in time to crush the first par ties of Russians that landed, and were met on the shore by ail overwhelming force, which drove them back by a tremendous musketry fire. Attempts at crossiug made bvthe Rus sians at Kustehuk and Tuitukin were un successful. These movements were evi dently feints to occupy tho attention of the Rustchuk, Tnrtnkoi and Silistria garrisons. The Jfrrald correspondent with the Russian Eighth corps, which crossed at Sintova, reports that the preparations for the crossing at that point began in the swampy meadows below Simnitza, where the troops were assembled on Tuesday evening at dusk. Silently and steadily battalion after battalion and bat tery after battery moved into its assigned position, the greatest possible care being taken to avoid attracting attention. The most perfect order and discipline pre vailed, and every man acted ns if the is sue of the war depended on the manner iu which he executed his individual duty. The point selected for the lauding on the Bulgarian side was about two miles below Sistova, where it had been pre viously ascertained by efficient Russian spies that the circumstances were favor able. Tho men slept little that night, the ground being damp, and the morning was awaited with feverish anxiety. Not a sound was heard but the tramp of men ns they moved into their places, or the dull noise made by wagon or artillery wheels. The orders were given in sub dued tones, and as few lights as possible were visible. It was a night of deep sus pense and of eager hope for the soldiers who, on the morrow, were to be face to face with the hated Moslem. At dawn ou Wednesday morning the order to move was giver, every man fell into his plaoo and the work of crot-siug , the river in face of the enemy was be gun. A number of boats had' collected, and into these the first detachment stepped after a few encouraging words from their officers. The boats were pulled briskly out into the stream and made straight for the Bulgarian shore, followed by tho eager eyes of their com rades.

A sharp fight ensued, but the Turks were in n. almrt t.iir.A driven lioek bv tho fire of the Yoliehine brigade. This bri gade, following up its first victory, soon alter took possession of the heights near Sistova and established themselves firm ly there, so as to protect the landing of the troops which followed them. So successful has the movement across the river been at this point' that the Turkish resistance has, been completely Mvuwmie and the Russian-, occupied Sistova on Thursday. As soon that operation was completed a bridge nan thrown across the Danube and the whole Eighth corps moved over to the Bul garian side. Many officers and soldiers greatly dis tinguished themselves diriiift the exe cution of thin briliiaht movement, but the youngest son of the Grand Duke Nicholas did so in a particularly brilliant manner. The Grand Duko Nicholas himself, with General NcpokortKcbitzky, chief of siulV of (lie nrmy of the Danube, and tho jvholn stntT of tho grand duke, nr r.ved over later on. The grand duke expressed himself highly gratified nt the conduct of the troops throughout the day, and indeed he conld not be other wise thau pleased. The Russians fought splendidly, and no one who had an op portunity of witnessing their magnificent work that day when face to face with the Turks could for a moment doubt their superiority. Their loss was compara tively lisrht. Ton thousand Russians occupied the Island , of V.orccv, opposite Kalarash, Hud probably landed near Silistria. Thus the movement embraced tho entire Turkish defense line of the Danube. At nearly all points appalling slaugh ter occurred. The Turks exhibited the most desperate valor, and in mtvny in UtnntieS expended their last cartridges before retiring. They were evidently surprised by the suddenness of the Rus sian attack, and were nowhere fully pre pared to meet it. Kicked to Denth by His Horse Charles de Harvard Carr, manager of the Cincinnati Coffin Company, was killed in his stable in Cincinnati by being kicked by one of his horses, about noon one day recently. The unfortunate gentleman, who had moved into his ele gant new residence at the corner of Ringgold and Young streets a month or so ago, had recently purchased a very fine bay horse, and about eleven o'clock on the morning of his death he left his house and proceeded to his stable on the next square to have a look at the animal. When he went into the building he fast ened its door on the inside, and that was tlic Inst seen of him until about half-past twelve o'clock, when William Brooks, his colored coachman, who had been down town on a message, went over to the stable to see what was detaining his master and keeping him from his home.

He jumped into the window and pulled the body back from the reach of the animal's heels, and then gave the alarm. The deceased was carried to his home a ter rible sight for his loving wife and family. From the character of his injuries, it ap pears as if Mr. Carr must have been ex amining the hind legs of the bay horse, when a gray horse, which was in the next stall, kicked him in the side of his face with terrifie fnrrav Ono nt tho nnllra of the animal's shoe Btruck him under the ear, and Dr. Mussey, who examined the body during tho afternoon, is of the opinion that the kick broke Mr. Carr's neck, and that he died instantaneously. A Young Lady's Plain, Simple Dress. The following is clipped from the Toledo (Ohio) litade : Now we begin to have an idea of what a plain, simple dress for a lady is. The lady principal of a young ladies' seminary in Tennessee has made a specific chart for the govern ment of her sweet girl graduates in their costuming for the commencement day exercises. It is gratifying, succint and clear, and we have pasted it up for fu ture use as a standard in determining whether any feminine dress is " simple " or "rich." The mandate runs: "The young ladies are to dress in white, and the material is to be muslin, tarlatan, or it3 equivalent. No trimmings permitted except when made of the s.une material as the dresH. Lace, s Ik and satin ex pressly prohibited. No sutin or silk sashes, and no train over ten inches in length. No i-leeves shorter than the elbow. ' No flowers, except a brooch bouquet and ns dresiug for the hair. AO jewelry except earrings. Any young ! lady disregarding these regulations will j not be allowed to appear at commence-1 ment." I 1 1 A Deer With the Barb of an Arrow in . His Heart. Yesterday, says the Humboldt (Cali fornia) Times, a great curiosity was placed on our table a deer's heart containing the flint lmrh nf on n mnn Last Sunday Mr. E. Sharp, of Areataj was ouc ou Jioyuton s prairie on a deer hunt. Yl.t saw fi lnrfrn ttvA-fniut l.nilr and brought it down with his rifle.' xaicing oil the hide and securing the heart and other rare bits, he started home. On arriving there, Mrs. Sliarp boiled the heart, and when the meal was ready, ulnced it on the tiiblA. Tn at tempting to cut the heart the knife strucit against something hard. The ladv unlit, the heart, mipn ami in tho fluol. part the flint barb of an arrow was found. It must have been there a long time, as the flesh was calloused all around it, and the scar where the barb entered is plain ly to be seen. This is quite a curiosity, as only a few such instances are known to be pn record. A (lootl Sunday School Lesson. Deacon , a staid, cool-headed gen tleman, well advanced in j-ears, was un til recently a Sunday school teacher, re markable for the evenness of his temper and for his deliberate speech. He once had a class of bad boys one of them a very bad boy who tried in many ways to provoke the teacher to wrath. One day, while the old gentleman was ex plaining one of the striking incidents in the Bible, the young rascal deliberately spat in his face. The good deacon, with out a change of a tone of his voice or look ing round, proceeded 'with his explana tion, but before wiping his face,' his right hand, by a back-handed stroke, came in contact with the mouth of the refractory pupil, and as he is a black smith and that was his hammer hand, it required considerable drenching with water to stop the free flow of blood from the lips whose impudence needed this lesson, A Singular Operation. Mr. Barry Sullivan, the actor, has re cently undergone a singular operation connected with an eye-lash. At Drury Lane theater, iu London, Macduff's sword accidently struck him in the eye, causing an abrupt termination of his en gagement and his retirement for some weeks. In the end he left the doctor's hands cured, as was believed, but ever since he has been troubled with a curious affection of the eye. Having consulted an oculist, the conclusion was arrived at that there must be something in the eye ball itself. Barry Sullivan consented to undergo the necessary operation for test ing tins theory. Hi eyeball was cut open, and from it there, was tiken an eye lash, which had been thrust in at the point of the sword. Fashion Notes.

Whom God Loves, At the top of the stairs stood a thin, sharp-faced woman, wearing a dirty, faded alpaca dress, with the sleeves rolled up, who asked in a jocular manner the officer if he was after her. Upon re iciving an answer iu the negative, she led the way into the apartmen'. Its infer or was somewhat better than that of its neigh bors,aud evidently its ocenpnut had seen better dnys. But dirty walls, broken plastering, cracked furniture.all attested the extreme poverty. At the back of a room was a door, which, when opened, looked out ou the alley, twenty feet or more below. Across the door were nailed strips of board to prevent the children from falling out. Returning to the other room, the woman turned to the swarm of children and cried, in a shrill voice: "For gracious sake get out of here; why nre you all hanging here in that way 't" " Are any of tl.ese yours ?" asked the reporter. " Not a bit of it. Mine's growed np. I'm takin' care of a couple of little ones. Their mother died of consumption last week. ' The poor critter laid sick for weeks up stairs, with no one to take keer of her 'cept myself, aud 'fore she died she wanted her husband to go on house keepin' and get some one to take care of the children. So when she died I took 'em, and I'm takin' care of 'cm till their father gets work aud a home for 'em.nud I shan't charge him anything. The little girl's sick, an' I don't know what ails her." And this woman, surrounded by abject poverty, with but little for her sof, was, without hope of reward in this world, supporting and caring for two children of a stranger. Cleveland Herald. A Moose Attacks a Canoe. The Aylmer (Quebec) Time has the following account of an extraordinary, encounter with a moose : "As Mr. Flat ters, of this village, and Mr. T. H. Kir by, of Ottawa, were traveling in a ca noe on the upper Gatiueau last week, an occurrence took place which might have had disastrous consequences for them. They had just rounded a point when they found themselves confronted by a huge moose, who, with two young ones, was playing in the water. Instead of taking to tho bush, as it was expected she would, the animal made at once for tlio canoe, nnd attacked it with great fury. Mr. K'rby broke his paddle over the immense head of the brute, and Mr. Flatters cut off her front foot with an axe ; but this only seemed to make her more savage. Seeing the impossibility of escaping they determined to shoot the animal in order to save their own lives, if possible ; so five or six well-directed shots from the bailiff's revolver ended one of the toughest tights which ever took place between man and beast in that neighborhood. The two young mooso were afterword captured." Weak Eyes. A very simple remedy for weuk or sore eyes, is recommended by a writer iu tho Tribune, who says : Get a five-cent cake of elder flowers at the druggist's, and steep in ouo gill of soft water : it must be steeped in bright tin or earthen ware ; strain nicely, aud then add throe drops of laudanum ; bot tle it tight and keep in a cool place ; then use it as a wash, lettiug some of it get in tho eyes ; follow this, and relief is certain. If the eyes are painful, or much sore, make small soft compresses wet in the mixture, and bind over the eyes at ni'ht. I cau warrant the above as hsimless and sure, having tried it in n number of cases where other skill and remedies had utterly failed. If the eyes are badly iuflamed, use it very freely, and a tea raade of elder flowers ond drank would help cleanse the bjood. Pure rock salt and water will strengthen your weak eyes if you bathe them daily u it. I would earnestly advise you to avoid mixtures or washes containing minerals or other poisons. Drinking at Meam.

It contends for the government of the people by the people and for the people, aa opposed to government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the count mg of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors to supply its readers a body now not far from s million of souls with the most careful, complete, and trust worthy account oi current evenie, ana employs for this bUTDosea numerous and carefully selected star? nf r porters and c rrespondeiits. Its rept rts fr 'in Waahinc ton, epeciallyf are full, accurate, and fearless; and it doubtless uontiuuos to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurp ing what the law does not give them, while it endeavors to merit the confidence of the public-by defending the rights of the people againet the encroachment of un iusiitied power. n t The price of the Daily Sdm is 55 cents a month, or f.t). a year, post-paid; or, with the Sunday edition IS 7.
