FARM, GARDEN AKD HOUSEHOLD. Fruit Faotl. Pear blight has in several Instances, been arrested in affected trees by syring ni them with a solution of potash, and it Ima proved a preventive 'when ap plied to the healthy trees. A German gardener has found by ex perience that black or preen flies, cater pillar?, etc., are at once destroyed by syringinir the plants affet ted by them with water in which the stems of the tomato plant have been well boiled. The liquor is applied when cold, and not only kills the insects, but leaves an odor which prevents others from com ing. Diseased apple or pear trees are some times attacked by insects. There is a remedy which causes the old dead bark to cleave off, leaving in its place a smooth, healthy surface. After a rain, and while the bark is still wet, throw on the tree dry wood ashes until the power of retention is full. Sow on the ashes now, and as a preventive of future depredations sow on in summer, when the insects deposit their eggs, which will never hatch under the influence of the ashes. Two objects are gained by the operation the ashes or lye they produce furnish food for the trees, as well as destroying its enemies, and im parts cleanliness to the tree. Frequent inquiries are made for the best methods of destroying insects that infeattrees. The following suggestions we cull from the Altnnta Constitution hni'Hp.llltnrfl.1 HpnnrtmDnf A miml-to,. ot remedies have been tried and generally proven beneficial. One remedy is to spread a cloth under the tree to catch whatever may fall jarring the tree by striking it wich a heavy piece of lumber, padded at one end to prevent injury to the bark. Some have found it eiliea cious to smear the bark with tar, mo lasses or printer's ink, or what is Detter, wrapping cioth nround the trunk and applying the tar to these instead of the bark. Others wash the trunk and the large brandies with soft soap or strong soap suds or lye, or whitewash with lime, Dusting the leaves with lime or with powdered helebore, when the dew is on, has been mentioned as a remedy. Digging around the tree to expose the larva to frost has been tried successfully. Late plowing, by exposure to birds and frosts, will assist to destroy insects in their nests. Infected leaves containing the eggs of parasitic insects should be taken from the trees and burned. The vapor of benzine has been proposed as a remedy against insects destroying wood work. A wash composed of one pound of flour of su.phur and a peck of quick lime, mixed in a close vessel with a sufficient quantity of hot water to make it of the consistency of common white wash has been used with advantage as a remedy against insects and mildew in fruit trees. Apply it when freshly made with a whitewash brush. Keclpei. Cheap Puddinj.

Wells, A criminal neelect is too common in locating wells for the supply of b Lh man and beast. Pure water and good health must keep company. Impure watT like foul air of dwellings, is an insidious enemy to any household ; and yet wells are sunk in a majority of cases with a reckless disregard of sanitary laws. We have known death repeatedly visit a household through the agency ol a filthy well of water. The same ap plies to the brutes, but perhaps in a less degree. Wells are often sunk so as to receive the percolating liquids from some near privy vault or cesspool, lo cated favorably for receiving their drain age. Some previous soils convey the taint several feet. One we examined was affected at a distance of fifteen feet from the privy. We once saw a well sunk in a lower corner of the barnyard, which received most of the drainage and supplied the water to the herd. The water of a well is often poisoned by neglect to keep it properly protected about the top. An open or loosely-covered well is a trap for insects or reptiles. From such a well, which supplied two families, was taken a short time ago, fifteen toads in various stages of decom position, an old shoe, ana sundry bits of wood. Nothing short of a miracle can give health to a household where the laws of nature are thus defied. Look well, then, to the locality and protec tion of your wells. Congregationalist. To Avoid Diseased Fowls, Procure one pound of wood charcoal, pulverize it coarsely, and mix with it half a pound of common table salt. To a half a pint of this mixture, add one quart of eorn meal and bi an, half and half. Mix well and feed to about six or seven fowls. Procure some hard-coal screenings and place within reach. Feed occasionally a few oats. Always keep some old iron in the drinking water; give all the out door exercise you pos sibly can, even chase them round a little. Place plenty of straw for them to scratch among for exercise. Throw some small grain among them to encourage scratch ing. Above all, give pure air and keep perfectly clean. I find a little kerosene the commoner the better to be a tine preventive of disease and l'ce of all kinds. Smear this all along the perches ; also under the straw in the laying boxes. This is a disinfectant and deodorizer also. On cold days be careful ; on warm ones give them air. Wm. Borne, V. S., in Country Gentleman. Of all the possessions of this life, fame is the noblest; when.the body has sunk inmhe dust, the great nane4till lives, UATHERING CAOUTCHOUC. Interesting Aecnnnt of the Manner In which India slubber. Is Collected In Central America. As visitors on a Nicaraguan rubber hunt, we must be dressed in strong but light clothing, stout shoes, with canvas leggings, and we must each wear a soft h,t that we con pull well down over our ears. It will be well tor each of us to carry a staff and a module, too. (The ir.ae.he.iz is a broad heavy knife.) We must also be very careful not to touch with our hands any tree, branch, vine or plant, as we may grasp some stinging insect, or thorns which may not only be Very sharp, but poisonous as well. I remember ome, to keep from falling, seizing a bush called chichicasle, which ..lied my hand with minute thorns', each producing a sensation like the sting of a wasp. The severe pain lasted for about a quarter of an hour, but it was weeks bif'ore the thorn? ceased to annoy me, being so small that I could not extract them. We may see on our way some wild animals and some very beautiful birds. Monkeys are in great abundance. One kind, called howling monkeys, make a noise which sounds more like the roar of a lion or tiger than anything else, and is quite startling the first time you hear it, though the mon keys themselves are harmless enough. Parrots, macaws, paroquets, toucans, and many other birds, are to be seen almost any day. There are also pumas (called the American or maneless lion) ounces, and two or three varieties of tiger cats; but all these are afraid of men and generally keep well out f sight. We may come upon a band ol wild hoes, which, if in any considerable number, will hardly deign to get out of urway; but instead ot grunting like the domestic hog, will express their dis satislaction by champing their jaws together. We will let the hunter take the lend, as he has a keen eye lor snakes. We shall find numberless insects, any amount of briers nnd thorns, and alto gether it will be anything but a pleasant walk. We shall not have gone far without real izing that the journey is a very dif ficult one, nnd without opening our eves with amazement at tho wonderful forest. There are multitudes of differ ent kinds of trees growing close together, and some of them are enormously large, so largo that in this country each one would be an object of curiosity. The rest of the trees range from these huge fellows down to the merest shoots, and from them hang perfect net-works of clinging vines of all sizes, from that of a kite-string to that of a good-sized cable. I have seen the vines from fifty to a hundred feet long, no larger than one of your fingers, but so tough and flexible that they are used by the natives for all purposes for which we would use ropes, cords, or string. They alss are used for several other purposes. house-building, for instance, being one of them, though you might think it a jStrcteh of the imagination to call their structure a house, isut it is, at least, a habitation, and in the building of it there is not a single nail used the side, the ridge-poles and the rafters being tied in places with vines, and the thatch tied on to them with the same. The natives declare that the vines will last and be good as ever after a nail, in their damp climate, would have rusted away. Whether that be true or not, it is well that they think so, for vines are to be had for the gathering, while nails are very expensive. Worse, if anything, than the vines in tiie forests, is the undergrowth, consisting of canes. hushfs, weeds, several varieties of cactus and other thorn-bearing plants, Spanish bayone: and numerous plants very much like it. Some of them are very valuable for their fibers, but all are very difficult to travel through, be ing interlaced ana matted together. You can readily believe it is no small labor to work your way along, to say nothing of the snakes, scorpions, taran tulas, nnd other disagreeable things th.it you may meet. You would imagine that few men would bo willing to undertake quite such severe work, but so large are the returns in money when a man is ordi narily successful, that plenty are ready to go. and indeed large numbers make it their only occupation, going into the woods, and remaining one, two, nnd even three months at a time, according to the luck they have. All this we find out on our way through the tangle, following as closely as possible at the heels of our rubbcr iiunter. We nro very hot ai.d tired by the time we reach the tree, but we will sit down on anything we can find a stump or log while Juan, our hunter friend, proceeds to tap his tree. Juan makes with the machete, low down upon the trunk of the tree, two deep scores, inclining downward, and coming together at a very obtuse angle, just below which he secures a little gutter 111:1 do of a piece of split cane. lie now makes, higher up, other score?, all leading into the first two. Taking hold of some of the pendent vines, he manages to climb thirty loot high, scoring and mutilatiLg the tree most fearfully. We conclude that with such treatment as this the tree will not last many seasons; judiciously tapped, it would yield twice a year for many years, but in order to get a little more each time, these Improvident people cut the bark up so badly, that in a few seasons the tree is ruinec. The sap, or milk, begins to ooze out at once, and runs down into the pan placed to receive it, though we observe Juan is likely to obtain considerable harucha from tho manner in which he has arranged his scores, and particu larly from the height to which he has extended them. The appearance of the sap is like that of thick cream, and, if left to itself, it would bo days before it became solid; but Juan soon finds a vine called alchuca, and sap of this vine he mingles with the milk: this has the effect of coagulating it, or making it sona, in a short time, so that in the course of a day it will be ready to be removed, though it will be some time longer before the barucha is hard enough to be stripped from the tree. Slowly the rubber, by exposure to the air, turns black, as you generally see it. E. P. Lull, in St. Nicholas. A London Waiter's Trick. The London correspondent of the American Register, published in Paris, writes: A friend of mine who had been going the rounds of London restaurants. and writing on waiters, says he met in the city a " calculating waiter." My inena una pitruiK.cn. oiamoaerate lunch eon, and on demanding what was to pay the waiter reckoned it thus. " Pay, sir yes, sir. Meat, wa., sir; bread, ad. 5 potatoes, 2d. ; csuliflower, 3d.

" ltemember," said my friend, " this was said in a gal lop which scarcely enabled me to hear more than a lew 01 the syllables 01 the words he was pronouncing, and had I not engaged my mental faculties in an arithmetical computation prior to his arrival at the table, I should have most assuredly given him the sum he asked, and retired the possessor of 8d. less than belonged to me. lie was by no means abashed when, without a word, I handed him precisely the sum he should have charged, but took it without moving a muscle of his countenance, merely ejac ulating, as I put on my hat, " You will pleas remember the waiter, sir."

In both evening and walking dresses any and every combination of colors and materials that does not conflict with artistic requirements is admissible. Black or iridescent beads and Rppliques of silk and velvet are largely employed upon Bilk, satin and cashmere fabrics. Short shoulder capes of material re sembling the dress or harmonizing with it are talked about as a feature of walk ing suits. The close-fitting bonnet is prominent among a variety ot fashionable shapes. Turbans are popular for young ladies. Instead of fancy plumage, flowers ap pear upon latest bonnets. Just at present the sunflower is much employed, nnd large clusters of roses and peonies in rich but subdued colors are in favor. Laces for neckwear consist almost en tirely of the popular Breton and Lan guedoc, and cream tints and ecru or deep yellow are shades much admired. The fichu has usually a narrow center ol mull or net edged on both sides with full ruffles of lace. It is drawn up closely about the neck and takes tl e place of collar and bow. It may be fastened in front witli a pretty oblong pin or small bows of ribbon. Spanish lace is most fashionable for veils, scarfs and the like. Purple in all its shades, from the darkest violet to the palest lilac, stands in the front rank this spring. Among them the newest and most fashionable is the heliotrope, a reddish shade, which is exactly that of the heliotrope blos som when full blown. Other purples are in grayish-red tints, suggesting rasp berry cream. . Most of the new spring dresses are made with a basque bodice and double skirt. The panier arrangement does not seem to be gaining much ground; some dresses ar; trimmed about the hips, but not in a very bouffant manner. At the back tho skirt is always draped up more or less, but lower than was formerly the case. If there be but a single skirt, it is trimmed en tablier in front, with panels at the sides and some sort of tournure and drapery at the back. Combinations of two materials, one plain, one figured, are still very fashionable; indeed, very few spring costumts are mado ot but one labric, and in many of them there are as many as three or four. A great many plain skirts are seen of corduroy or velvet for walking dresses, Over these tho overskirt is simply draped and is generally ot Jight cloth or camel's hair, finished with machine stitching on the edges.

Every fresh item of news that another nation of Europe has increased its fighting force shocks all right-thinking people by its suggestion of the awful slaughter which must follow the col lision of the hosts armed with modern instruments of war. At such a time the question, " Does the maxim, inter arma xilent leges, apply to the laws of humanity?" acquires fresh point, and the manner in which the subject is dis cussed by an officer of the United States army, writing in the United Service, is not a little startling. He finds that in the past all objections in the name of humanity to each successive improve ment in the art ot wholesale destruction of human life have vanished in the fierceness of international competition, and so he thinks it will and ought to be in the future. Greek fire and gunpowder were in turn, he points out, denounced as inventions ot the devil until the se cret of their manufacture and use be came generally known. In the age of projectiles the smooth-bore came first, and every shot was meant to kill ; but the bore was rifled to increase the cer tainty of death, and breech-loaders and magazine guns were invented to kill more men in a given time. Therefore he forsees that the adoption of poisoned or explosive bullets is but a question of time, and declares that if lie were a general in command he would not hesi tate to poison the enemy's water sup ply. Nor can he see any reason why he should not, for example, with a satis fied conscience, use a projectile which, on explosion, should liberate a suffo cating gas and destroy every living thing for yards around. He protests against the hasty and unthinking con demnation of his views as bloodthirsty and cruel, and bespeaks for each new murderous machine thoughtful consid eration in the name of mercy and peace. For, he argues, the more terrible the recognized instruments of destruction, the greater is the reluctance to engage in war, and, should war break out. the shorter, of necessity, will be its duration. A Famous Joirnallstlo Feat Keloid. Happening Into a Washington peri odical store the other day, I encountered josepn onniineton. one ot the oldest men in the business. He was originally sent to Washington to superintend the dolivery of the Baltimore Sun to its subscribers. He said to me : " Do you know I gave the Sun what its proprie tor, A bell, always said was the biggest piece ot news he ever got?" " v nat was that, Mr. Hhiuingtcnr " It was the explosion rf tho big gun on the mnceton about 1844. Commo dore Stockton came around here witli his big ship to give Congress and the administration an excursion. The ship went down the river to somewhere near Fort Washington, and there, while most of tho people were down in the cabin partaking of a collation, Stockton had his big gun, ended the Peacemaker, fired off. It burst and one of the pieces killed Secretary Upshur, while Secretary Gil mer was crushed to a human wad. 1 wo gentlemen, named Gardiner and Maxey, were Killed at once, (iardiner s daugh ter afterward married President Tyler. Commodore Kennon was killed. Com- modoro Stockton was temporarily blinded, and Senator Tom Benton and his servant were both knocked down and the servant killed. Some people said that Benton was a little crazy al ways attar ward. 1 Ins accident happened." continued Mr. Shillington, " pretty late in the af ternoon, and the news didn't get to Washington until something like nine o'clock at night. I was not a writer of anything, but I saw there was an op portunity to give the tiun a big lilt, lhe first thing I did was to go to Stcttineus, manager of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad here, and secure a locomotive. It cost me $5. Mr. Abell was not al ways liberal and I felt that I was taking a risk. At that time there was only two trains a day from Baltimore to Washington, one in the morning nnd the other in the evening; therefore I had a clepr track. I kept the locomo tive witli steam up in the old depot on Pennsylvania avenue until I could over haul Congressman Zaddock Pratt, of New York. lie was an old tanner in the Catskill mountains, and had tanned more than 1,000,000 sides of leather. Pratt saw the explosion and gnvo me the particulars. When I got down to the depot I found the postmaster-general, Charles Wickliffe. standing there. ' What is this locomotive for?' lie asked. He was told it had been privately char tered on newspaper business. He was getting up letters and dispatches to go North. Said I : ' Mr. Postmaster General, you can't send anything by this locomotive! This is a newspaper locomotive!' Wickliffe was quite in dignant that there should be any such thing as a newspaper locomotive; it had not been heard of up to that time. Said he to the engineer: 'The govern ment will pay for this!' 'Never you mind,' I said to the engineer and fire man, and I got aboard and we went as fast as the state of the road and kind of locomotive would allow to Baltimore, nearly forty miles distant, which we reached in one hour nnd a half. I got there about eleven o clock ; the composi tors had already been dismissed and the edition was on tho press. I had taken the precaution to fee the engineer and fireman and make them go right back to Washington and talk to nobody in Baltimore. I said to the pressman, ' Stop this press at once.' I could not make them understand anything. Then I went down to Mr. Ahrdl's house; lie lived on Water street. He put his hei.d out of the window with a night-cap on and asked who was there. Finally, he came down stairs and went with me to tiie press room. We had sent out for compositors previously. " As soon as the composing room was lighted up the Clipper and another news paper there wanted to know all about it. We kept everything a secret, and got out the Sun with nearly two columns of news. The other papers called it an other moon-hoax. It was not until about nine o'clock next, morning that a train came in from Washington con firming the story, and then the Sun had made it general all ovei Baltimore The Sun had then been established a lew years, but had not made much mark, and for months afterward it boasted of its enormous expenditure in gettinr that piece of news. But from that, it learned the valuo of enterprise to such a degree that when the Mexican war broke out, two years afterward, the Sun used both locomotives and couriers. " 'Oath's" Washington Letter to New York Graphic. Frozen Seed. Researches made by Messrs. De Can dolle nnd Pictet, of Geneva, on the de gree of cold to which seeds of plants can bo. subjected without impairing their vitality, present very remarkable results. It is not the first time that such experiments have been tried, but the means now available for maintain ing a low temperature for a long time impart to present investigations a de cree of certainty never before possible. Seeds of cabbage, mustard, cress acd wheat were separately inclosed in glass tubes, hermetically sealed, and were then exposed during six hours to a course oi refrigeration, in which the temperature was reduced to fifty degrees below zero of centigrade. No precau tions were taken to restore them gradu al! v to the ordinarv temperature. Thev were sown, and all except seven grains of wheat, which had been damaged, germinated in the same time as seeds which had not been refrigerated. An other experiment was made witli thir teen different kinds of seeds. It lasted two hours, and during half that period the temperature wasbrought down to eighty degrees below zero, lhey all germinated except three sorts, which were proved to be bad, by the fact that non-chilled seeds of the same kind did not grow.

The doctors did not help him a particle; ugoouia not mc n 1001 irom me noor; ne could notrnove without crutches. I read your advertisement in the ' Louisville Courier Journal,1 that Vkoktinr whs a great Blood Purifier and ft io.ifl food, l tried one not tie, wnicn was a great benefit. He kent on with the medicine, gradually gaining. He has taken eighteen bottles in all, and he fa completely restored to health, walks without cruUhes or cane. He Is twenty years of age. I have a younger son fifteen years of age, who is sub ject to cuiiiM, Whenever he leeis one coming on, he comes in, takes a dose of Veoetihe and that is the last of the Ouill. Veortink leaves uo bad effect upon the Byntem like moat of the medicines recom mended for Chills. I cheerfully recommend Vkok tine for such complaints. I think it is the greatest meuicine in tne worm. Respectfully, Mm. J. W. LLOYD. Ve3ktinb.
