A SETTLEMENT OF COMMUNISTS. On the Oregon and California Rail road, twenty eight miles south of the city of Portland, in Oregon, lies the German colony of Aurora, a communist settlement under the direction of Doctor William Keil. In September, 1871, 1 made a sc cond journey from San Francisco to Ore gon, on which occasion I found both time and opportunity to carry out a long cherished desire to visit this colony, al ready famous the throughout all Oregon, and to make acquaintance of the still more famous doctor, the so called "King of Aurora." lie had been described to me in Portland as a most inaccessible person, showing himself extremely reserv ed toward strangers, and declining to give them the slightest satisfaction as to the interior management of the prosperous community over which he reigned a sovereign prince. The initiated main faincd that this important personage had formerly been a tailor in Germany. lie was at once the spiritual and secular head of the community ; he solemnized mar riages (much against his will, for accord I ing to the rules of the society, he was oh j liged to provide a house for every newly nnriied couple); he was a physician and preacher, judge, lawgiver, secretary of state, administrator, and unlimited and irresponsible minister of Saaoce to the colony ; and held all very valuable land ed property of the settlement, with the cousent of the colonists, iu his own name; and while he certainly provided for his voluntarily obedient subjects au excellent maintenance for life, he reserved to him self the entire profits of the labor of all and the value of the joint property, not withstanding that the colony was estab lished ou the broadest principles as a communist association. From Portland, where I was staying, the colony was easi ly accessible by rail, and be'ore leaving I made the acquaintance of a German life itisurance ageut of a Chicago company Korner by name who. like myself, wish ed to visit Aurora, and in whom I found a very agreeable traveling companion He had procured iu Portland letters of introduction to Doctor Keil, and had con ceived the bold plan of doing a stroke of business in lile insurance with him ; in deed his main object in going to Aurora was to induce t lie doctor to insure the lives of the entire colony that it is to sny, of all his voluntary subjects in the Chicago company ; pay, as irresponsible treasurer of the accociation, the legal pre miums, and upon the occurrence of a death, pocket the amount of the policy. Upon arriving at our destination, we inquired for Doctor Iveil, and were at once directed to his residence, which looked, in the distance, like the premises of a well-to-do low Dutch farmer. We found him iu his orchard in a toilette the very opposite of regal, zealously engaged in gathering his apples. lie was stand ing oa a high ladder, in his shirt sleeves, a cotton apron, a straw hat, pickiog the rosy cheeked fruit in a haud basket. As soon as the doctor perceived us he came down from the ladder, and asked some what sharply what our business there might be My companion handed him the letters of introduction he had with him, which the doctor read attentively through ; he theQ introduced my humble cll'asa literary raau and asdsistant editor of a well known magazine, whohad come to Oregon lor the special purpose of visiting Doctor Keil, and of luspectiog his colony. I learned from him that Ir.s name was William Keil, aud that he was born at Rleicherode, in Prussian Saxony. He now left the app'e gathering to his men, and offered to show us whatever was in teresting about the colony; as to the life insurance project, he said he would take some more convenient opporiuuiiv iu peak to -Mr. Korner about it. The doctor, who after this showed him self somewhat loquacious, was a man of agreeable appearance, perhaps of about sixty years of age, with white hair, a broad high loreucad, aud an jutelligent countenance, counu as a nut, powenui ly built, of vigorous constitution and with an air of authority, he gave the idea of a man born to rule. He seemed to wish to make a good impression on us, and I remarked several times iu him a seaich ing side glaoce, as though he were try iti" to read tur thoughts. He sustained the entire conversation himself, and it was somewhat difficult to follow his mean in". He fpoke in an unctuous, oratori cal tone, with extreme suavity, in very eoeral terms, and evaded all direct ques tiong. Whtu I had listened to him for in mtnutes 1 was not one wnit wiser than before. II is language was not re markubly choice, and he used liberally a mixture of words half English and half Geiman. as uneducated German Ameri cans are apt to do. Wheu he first came into this region, in 1850, he found the whole district now owned by his flourishing colony covered bv marsh and forest- lustead, however. of establishing himself ou the prairies ly in" father south, io the midst of foreign settlers, he preferred a home shared only with his German brethren in the primi live woods ; and here, having at that time very email mean, he obtained from th .'oveiricueut. uratis, land enough to pro vide a heme lor his colonists, and fouud in the timber a source of capital, which l , o nnfft made uroductive. He next iv a proceeded to build a block house as adc tense against the Indians, who at tha time were hostile iu Oregon ; theu he erected a saw mill and cleared off the tiiu bcr, part of which he used to build houses for his colonists, aud with part opened an advantageous trade with his American neighbors, who, living ou the prairie, were soon entirely dependent on him for all their timber. The land, once cleared, was soon cultivated and planted with or chards ; the fiuer varieties of fruit he ship ped for sale to Portland and San Francis co, and from the sour apples he either made vinegar or sold them to the older settlers, who very soon made themselves sick on them. He then attended them in the character of a physician, and cured them of their ailments at a good round charge. This joke the doctor related with especial satisfaction. Ry de grees, the doctor continued to say, the number of colonists increased, and his means and strength became thus enlarged, he established taunery, a fac tory, looms, flouring mills, built more houses for his colonists, cleared more laud, and drined the marshes, increased his or chards, laid out new farms, gave some at tention to adornment, erected a church and school house, and purchased from the American settlers in the neighborhood their best lands for a song. lie did every thing systematically. He always assinged his colonists the sort of labor that they appeared to him best fitted for, and each one found the place best suited to his capabilities. If any one objected to do ing his will an 1 obeying his orders, he was driven out of the colony, lor he would endure no opposition, lie uiade the best leather, the best hams, and gath ered the best crops in all Oregon. The possessions of the colony, which he added to as he was able, exteuded already over tweufy sections (a section containing six mud red aud forty acres, or au lviiglib square mile), and the most perlect order and industry existed everywhere. Should any oue wish to become a mem ber of the colony, he must, in the first dace, put all his ready money into the hands ot Doctor Keil ; he will then be takeu on trial. If the candidate satisfies the doctor he can remain and become one of the community ; should this, however, uot be the case, he receives the capital he paid in but without interest. How lorn: ie must remain ''on probation" in the colony, and work there, depends entirely ou the doctor's pleasure. If a member eaves the community voluntarily a thing almost unheard of he receives back his capital without interest, together with'0 rota share of the earnings of the community during his membership, as appraised by the doctcr. v cll the ordinary necessaries of life are supplied gratuitously to the members of the community. Ihe doctor holds the common purse, out of which all purchases are paid lor, and iuto which go the profits rom the agricultural and industrial pro ducts of the colony. If any member needs a coat or other article of clothing, flour. sugar or tobacco, he can get whatever he want9, without paying for it at the store. In the same way he procures meat from the butcher and bread from the baker. Spirits are forbidden except in case of sickness. The doctor also appoints the occupation of each member, so as to coa tribute to the best welfare of the colony whether he shall be a farmer, a me chanic, a common laborer, or whatever he can be. most usefully erayloyed in ; and the time aud talents of each are regarded as belonging to the whole community, subject only to the doctor's judgment If a member marries a separate .dwelling house and a certain amount of land are assigned him, so that the families ate scat tered about on farms The elders of the colony support the doctor in the duties of his oflice by counsel and assistance. The lands of the colony are collectively recorded in Dr. Kcil's name, in order, as he says, to avoid intricate and complica ted law papers. It would, however, be to the interest of the colonists to make a speedy change in this respect, so that the members ot the comrnuniry, iu case oi the doctor's death, might obtain each his share of the lands without litigation. Should the doctor's decease occur soon. before the alteration is made, his natural heirs could claim the whole properly of the colony, and the members would be left in the lurch. He does not appear, however, to be in great haste to effect this change, though it ought have beeu dooe long ago. It is always said among the colonists, naturally enough, that all the ground is the common property of the community. Whether the doctor fully subscribes to this opinion in his secret heart might be a question. Doctor Keil is at the same time the re ligtotis head and the unlimited secular ruler of tho colony of Aurora, and can ordain, with the consent of the elders (who naturally uphold his authority), what he pleases. A li'c free from care and responsibility, such as the members of the community (who, for the most part, belong the lower and uncultivated class) iP!,d a life iu remid to which no one but the doctor has the trouble of think is the main ground of the undis imbf-d continuance of the colony. The pre eminent talent for organization, com biued with the unlimited powers of com mand. which the doctor justly named "King of Aurora" possesses, together with the inborn industry to Germans, is the cause of the ptosperity of the settle merit, which calls itself communistic, but is certainly nothiog tuoie than a vast farm holorif.inrr tn its tfl PtltCd lOUmler. It lias schools, its churches, newspapers am books the selection and tendency o which the doctor seea to and no lack o social pleasures, music and singing. Tak en together with an easily procured livelihood, all that satisfies the desires of the colonists entirely, and the doctor takes care of everything else. Lippincott's Magazine. Tha Codfish. It is curious to note the history of a codfish -from the moment when, on the hook of the fisherman, it is dragged from its native element, till it disappears down the human throat on the bauks of the Amazon, the Parana, the Tagus, or the Po. After a few expiring wriggles and it is a comfort to be informed by naturalists that fish are almost insensible to pain the cod is flung from the fisherman's boat upon the rough "stae," where it is seized by the "cut throat," who cuts the fish open across the throat and down the belly, and passes it to the "hea ier." This operator proceed" to extract the liver, which is dropped into a vessel by his side, to be converted into cod liver oil, the great specific for scrofulous diseases, especially consumption He then tears out the entrails, and wrenches off the head, and throws these into another receptacle, to be preserved for the farmer, to mix with bog and earth, thus forming a most fertilizing compost for his fields The tongue, however, is taken out, and also the "sounds" or air-bladder ; and these, fresh or pickled, are an excellent article of food. The fish is then passed to the ''splitter," who, by a dexterous movement, cuts out the backbone nearly to the tail, and thus lays the fish entirely open, and capable of being laid flat on its back. This is the nicest part of the operation, and the "splitter" always com mands higher waes than the other operators. The "salter" next takes the fish and washes it well from all particles of blood, salts it, and places it in piles to drain. After lying the proper length of time, it is washed aDd spread to dry on the "flake," which is formed of spruce boughs supported by a frame work rest ior on upright poles. Here the cod are spread out individually, to bleach by exposure to sun and air, and during this process require constant attention. At night, or on the approach of rain, they are made up iuto little round heaps, with the skia outward, in which state they look very much like small haycocks. These heaps are technically called hea pies. When the hlnom, or whitish appearance which after a time they assume, cnuips out on the dried fish, the process is finished, and they are theu quite ready for storing. On being con veyed to the premises of the exporting mercnant, tiicy are urst "culled, or assorted into lour different kinds, known as Merchantable. Madeira, West Iudia, and Dun, or broken fish. The first is prime fish, the second nearly as good, the third is intended for tougher stomachs, and the fourth, which is incapable of keeping, is used at home. The cod sent to hot countries is packed by screw power into small casks called "drums ;" that which goes to the Mediterranean is usual y exported in bulk. Don't Box Your Children's Ears. Wc call the attention of parents, teach ers and all those having charge of chil lren to the fact that a physiological jour nal condemns the practice of boxing children's ears. We had supposed, in this advanced age of civilization, that such barbarous puuisments were only re membered as relies of the darker ages Rut it appears that the practice is sul ficiently common in some .sections of the country to call forth a decided rcmti strance. Resides being a brutal method of punishment, it is dangerous. The a?sagc of the ear is closed by a thin membrane, especially adapted to be in fluenced by every impulse of the air, and with nothing but the air to support it in ternally. II any one designed to break or overstrain the membrane, he could scarcely devise a more effective means than to bring the hand suddenly and forcibly dowu upon the passage f the ear, no possibility for its escape but by the membrane giving away. Many chil dren arc made deaf in this way. Packing Butter. At a meeting of the Rucks County (Pa.) Agricultural Society recently a short essay by Miss Kate Craven, ol Newtown, was read iu response to the question. "Can butter be packed to auvantage in June -or July for winter use 1" Miss Craven was decidedly in favor of packing butter in early summer, when the price is usually so low as to be unprofitable. If properly put up then, it cannot be surpassed. It must be fresh and good or it will not keep well Her receipt is : For twenty pounds of butter take one and a quarter pounds cf salt, ooe ounce pulverized saltpetre, and a small quantity of white sugar, which hhuuld be worked into the Dutter ana leu over nigiit Next day work again, make into lumps put into a stone vessel, and cover with brine strong enough to bear an egg. Lay a bag filled with salt in the vessel and re plenish wheu empty. Do not remove the butter long before it is needed. Tho Constitutional Convention has adopted the sectho, providing' that mem bers of tho Legislature shall be elected once in two years, instead of annually, as at present. A Lively Guost. The Elizabeth Herald thus discnarses of a guest who arrived at the Sheridan House, in that city, a few days since He registered his name as I) Pratt. "G. A. T." and being informed that the noon tide repast would soon be ready, he re moved a heavy, but somewhat dilapidated overcoat, and calmly awaited the sum rnons to the attack. "At the sound o! the goiiir," so says the local of the Her aid. "he jumped at least, three feet, and with a few strides was within the spacious dining room of the Sheridan He then drew from his waistcoat pocket, a mini-a ture opera glass and scattued closely the bill of fare The waiter, whs watched the strange guest witli awe. was then or dered to deliver the follow inn : Four teen raw oysters on the halt shell, ihice soft boiled e;g-i, one ham omelette, a plate of sweet potatoes, three quails on toast, one pickle, one box of tardines. ttiree tooth picks, two bottles of Anchovy sauce, J one plate of ice cream and a porter houe j steak.

He then call ed for desert, but by this time Captain Gill put in an appearance, and thinking that Daniel was an alderman in disguise, or wis an escaped lunatic, through char ity took hiui politely by the collar aud ak ed him to call up to the Captain3 office to settle. Then the wrath of Daniel Pratt, the reat American traveler (for such he proved to be) was aroused. His indignation knew no bounds. The sim ple idea of a man of his distinction being brought out of a dining room in such a manner, was heart, rending When ask ed to settle the little bill, some S3 75, he was still more indiuatit, but after awhile offered to compromise by leaving his over coat. Captain Gill is usually good na tured,but the last offer was too much, and with one foot, he landed Daniel Pratr, the G. A T., on the sidewalk. The last seen of this distinguished traveler was when he turned the corner of Rroad street and Elizabeth nvenuc. with his coat tail flying like an American flagon the Fourth of July. a Remedy for Small Pox. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Evening Star says : "A great discovery is reported to have been made by a sur geon ot the English army in China, in the way of an effectual cure for this ter rible and loathsome disease. The mode of treatment is as follows : When the fever is at its height, and just before the eruption appears, the chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric ointment. This causes the whole of the eruption to appear on that part of the body, to the re lief of all the rest. It also causes a full and complete eruption, and this prevents the disease from attacking the internal organs. This was said to have been the established mod'4 of treatment in the Eng lish army in China, only a few years ago." To Fit Collars to Horses. The Valley Farmer says collars arc or should be so made as to throw the chief force on the lower t art of the shoulder The horse can apply but little strength is exerted on the lower part, of the shoulder. fhe collar should be purchased of the proper size ; just before putting it on the first time immerse it in water. letting it remain about a minute, and immediately putting it on to work The collar, by being wet, will adapt itself to the shoul ders, and should dry on the horse When taken off it should be left in the same shape it occupied on the horse, and ever after you will have collar and no wounds. a snug ntting How to Save Clover Sesd.

In this way he saved seed enough for his own sowing and to pay for all the dry goods used in his family, and received $25 iu cash besides. The men engaged on night work around the Morris and Esex depot, lloboken, state that at midnight once a month, a ghost like engine passes over them with the accompaniment of a ringing bell and jarring wheels. The engine passes oif of the door of the depot, which is opened by invisible hands, and all the employes state that nn the 10th of every month this phenomenon occurs It seems that a number of years ago two men were killed by being run over by an engine, and ever since that time a spook locomo tive has run its ghostly career.
