MrMt'His, March 7. At 2:30 o'
clock this a. M. the Anchor Line
eieaaier City of Chester was totally
destroyed by fire at the elevator.
The boat arrived from St Louis
about midnight, and Captain Zeigler,
who was unwell, retired after putting
the mate in charge. A number of
Berranrs were at work in the cabin
when the fire was discovered, and
the first intimation they had of tbe
danger was seeing the lames burst
ing through tbe cabin. Tbe alara
was sounded and every effort made
to arrest the flames, but within three
minutes the whole forward portion of
the boat was on ore, and the ele fa
tor was threatened with destruction.
Captain Zeigler, who had escaped to
the elevator by running through the
flames with his clothes ver bis face
to protect it, ordered the boat to be
rut loose in order to save the eleva
tor, all who had remained on board
being at tbe stern and vnab'e to get
to the elevator. As soon as the,
lines were cut tbe boat floated ont
into the stream, and many of those
on board plunged into the river and
were picked tp by persons on skiffs.
The tug-boat Oriole and transfer
boat Tierson had ia the meantime ta
ken off many of those who remained.
The tug tben towed tbe wreck to a
Kint opposite Fort Fickering and
ached it on a sand bar. Only two
persons are known to have been lost
John Kernan, tbe mail agent, and
the colored barber. A. N. Simpson,
the second clerk, and one of the pi
lots saved themselves by leaping
from the hurricane roof into the river
and were picked op. The boat had
a cargo of some three hundred tons
of general merchandise acd a large
number of mules and hogs, all of
which were lost About four o'clock
the boilers exploded, jarring the
whole city. The boat was owned by
tbe Memphis and St Louis Packet
Company, and was valued at f 40,

Oar Tub Bat.
During tbe Winter evenings, when
tre children were engajred with their
lessons, our tame rat, Billy, was usu
ally to be found on tbe table rum
maging among their books and catch
ing at their pens; which latter amuse
ment he enjoyed very much after
the manner of a kitten running after
a knittingneedle drawn quickly op
and down the table; but as these
amosements rather interfered with
the studies,Rilly would occasionally
be dismissed to the kitchen, to which
be had a great dislike. He never
stayed there longer than he could
help, but on tbe first chance would
rush up tbe stairs and scratch, or
rather I should say gnaw tor admit
tance. Speaking of this gnawing
leads me to observe tbat one objec
tion I had to receiving him was tbe
fear that be would be very mischiev
ous; but fortunately I never found
him so. He had free access to a
pantry where a variety of eatables,
usually considered dear to a rat's
heart, were to be found; but I never
knew him to injure anything or even
to cut the paper covering of any par
cel, no matter what it contained. No
doubt it was partly owing to his be
ing so well fed tbat he was not driv
en to theft by hunger. I generally
scattered for him on the shelves some
grains of rice or pickles or starch,
and to these be helped himself when
inclined. From sosp or candles he
would turn away ia disgust, being
far too well-bred a rat to indulge in
such low tastes; but be dearly loved
a bit of plum-cake; and, I shall con
fess it, he was by no means a teeto
taler. If ale was used at dinner, be
would rush eagerly about tbe glass
es until he was supplied with some
in a spoon. I belisve, before be
came to us, be bad been accustomed
to even s'ronger potations, in which,
however, we did not indulge him. I
have said he was not mischievous,
neither vii he, as mischief among
rats is generally understood; but
there is no rule without exception,
and Billy bad a decided penchant for
kid-gloves. If any were left careless
ly about, be was sure to get hold ot
ibern and have tbe fingers eaten off
in a few minutes.
I cannot tell how many gloves he
destroyed, until repeated lessons of
his sort enforced more tidy habits.
I must not omit to mention his love
of music; when be heard tbe pianc
he would rush to the drawing-room
and spring to the performer's knee,
where he would remain perfectly
auiet evidently listening with much
nleasure. When he first came he
was very restless, seeming to live in
a state of perpetual motion ; but he
soon learned to come upon tbe knee
to be caressed and have his bead rub
bed, which operation afforded him
intense enjovment. He would have
lain in a state of supreme delight for
an hour if any one would have rub
bed his head for so long. Chamlur''g

Shortly there entered, in perfect si
lence, a cortage drawing a dog Bled,
in which was seated the high priest
of the tribe, and a more villainous

decorated with strips of red flannel,

which was spread a number of young
seals; all alive and barking. In tbe
right hand be held a spear, which be
waved aloft in a theatrical manner;
while with his left be motioned to
tbe bride and groom to approach
him.
The whole concourse arose, and
with shout of gladness cspered
around the priest's chariot This he
submitted to Tor a space ot ten min

bis spear, commanded silence. Tbe
grooat was now directed to prostrate
himself epon the earth on his back,

evidently did with reluctance. While
in this position tbe priest instructed
tbe rroom that such was to be bis

plighted troth. He was then permit
ted to rise, and directed to approach
tbe old chief, who placed a spear at
bis breast, telling him it would be
his doom should he prove untrue.
He was next directed to his father,
who, producing a fishing line, inform
ed him that be would choke to death
his offspring should he prove unfaith
ful. Then, to cap the climax, he was
directed to face tbe entire tribe, who,
brandishing their spears, veiled at
the top of their voices vengeance cn
him in the event of unfaithfulness.
At this juncture the groom, apparent
ly overcome with emotion, dropped
on the ground, and bowiDg his head
to tbe earth, cried, until raised to his
feet by the bride :
"I will be true."

An inquisitive contributor to tbe
Figaro (says a London correspond
ent of the Chicago Trtimne), who
writes under tbe name of "Ignstns,"
has apparently been diving into tbe
secrets of Balmoral andj Windsor.
Some of his discoveries would con
siderably surprise her Msjesty, I
fancy ; but on the whole, tbe reve
lations of "Ignatus'' are sufficiently
sober, and, if unreliable, at least
ebarmingly recorded. The following
extract, in which he (ells the story of
royal courtship, is, I think, as dainty
a bit of writing as any I bare seen
in a paper this many a day :
Certainly, the young(Jaeen thought
less of England' than of marriage.
The Ministers would fain have made
her marriage a sort ef international
treaty. Beyond all doubt, Victoria
was the finest match in the world.
The Queen, however, was full of a
host of little projects, ever shifting
and changing, like the little heaps of
eand tbe children raise in tbe Uarden
of tbe Luxembourg. She told her
mother that she would wed to no
one whom she did not love. The
Duchess of Kent reported the speech
tothe Ministers, who thought it revo
lutionary in the extreme. Coronation-day
came, and next day tbe ball
at Windsor. Among the dancers
was a tall, handsome, slender stu
dent, from the University of Bonn
her cousin a Cobourg, like herself.
Tbe Queen noticed him, and Prince
Albert did not return to Bonn.
Even had he not loved he would have
stayed ; and he loved. But his cous
in was the Queen 1 Here the wo
man had to make tbe advance. Vic
toria, deeply touched as she wa by
this love (which was never more to
leave ber) could not easily conquer
the maidenly timidity due to her
severe education. Nevertheless, a
morning came. I assure you I in
bent nothing. Although the Queen
das not consented to relate these
belightful iocedents, Prince Albert
vas told tbem to bis friends.
Nevertheless, then, a morning
came. Tbey were riding together, be
and she, down tbe great avenue of
oaks at Windsor. Those oaks were
younger tben, but old enough al
ready. After a gallop they found
themselves alore. We know how
dangerous it is for a man and woman
to ride together. Suddenly tbe
Queen took a sprig of honeysuckle
(rom ber boson, and, stooping, offer
ed it to Prince Albert. Bending to
reach it. his lips touched bis cousin's
cloves. Perhaps 'twas the fault of
tbe horses. Tbe woods of England
and France well know how many
loves the noble brutes have been the
cause of. A silence followed more
sweet than anything ever eungtothe
heart by Mozart.
Next morning Prince Albert still
wore tbe honeysuckle in his button
bole. He kept it even when it had
faded. A fortnight after tbat ride
tbe plenipotentiary minister banded
King Leopold of Belgium a tiuy let
ter, closed by a mighty seal, as
though it hid a mighty secret of
state. Jt began .My JJear i ncie,"
and was signed, " i ictoria."
A month later, tbe Queen mention
ed her intention to marry Prince Al
bert of Saxe Cobourg-Uoth to ber
Ministers. She asked their counsel,
but with a pretty air of decision
which caused tbem to reply with a
unanimous "Yes." The wedding
took place on the lOih of ' February,
1S40. Tbe Queen cf England bad
married for love like a bourgeoise,
I was iroing to sar, but thf bour
geoises marry but little lor love now.
Lord Mel borne was right when be
told England that tbe Queen's mar
riage was the Queen's romance."

big as your cow, which give twenty

In the island of Rio there are wild
men, who lire in trees, and have no
language but cries: audio Sumatra,
tbe residents of Palembang said there
were men who lived in tbe forest,
with whom not only the Europeans,
but tbe Malays, could hare no inter
course, lie himself bad never seen

a good trafic with the outer world,
ret not through the medium of
speech. They live in the wood, and
subsist by the f base. Tbey hunt
tigers, nut with tbe gun, hut with ar
rows, which tbey blow oat of a tube
with such force, and which are so
keen of point, and touched with such
deadly poison, that a wound is al
most immediately fatal.
These tiger skins and elephant
tusks they bring for barter not for
sate for tbey never sell anything,
for money is about the most useless
thing they ean have. They cannot
eat or drink it or wear it- But as
tbey have wants they exchange; yet
they themselves are never seen. Tbey
bring what tbey have to the edge of
the forest, and leave it there, and tbe
Malays come and place what they
have to dispose of and retire. If tbe
offer is satisfactory, when tbey re
turn aeajo they find what tbey
brought gone, and take what is left
and depart 1 If not, they aid a few
trifles more to tempt the eyes of thesis
wild men or tbe woods, and so. at
last, the exchange ia effected, yet all
the while the sellers keep themselves
invisible.

A Sew MeskeH With Milk.
The managers of a few creameries
in New York have adopted a new
method in the management of their
milk. As tbe new milk is received
night and morningat the creamery,
it is run into large vaU.like makevats,
and at once heated to 140 degrees or
above, by driving'eteam in the milk.
This drives the odors out and enables
tbem to keep tbe milk twelve or
twenty-four hours longer than it
would without healing. As soon as
tbe heating is done, cold water is
run around tbe milk and'tbrough it,
by a series of horizontal tubes in tbe
middle of tbe milk, the top tube being
just below tbe cream, to be out of the
way of skimming, thus by cooling
tbe milk at the outside and the mid
dle, it is rapidly done and the cream
hurried to the surface.
When it has cooled to tbe temper
ature of tbe air, an air-tigbt cover is
let down upon tbe vat, shutting the
milk entirely away from all atmos
pheric influence a circumstance of
considerable importance, as the air
in cheese factories is seldom just what
would be roost desirable. In this
condition it stands from twelve to
sixty hours, till the cream is all up,
or so much of it as the operator wish
es to remove, and it is tben sweet
and makes better skim cheese than
when not heated.
The cream raised in this manner is
most delicious. It is the finest fla
vored of any I have met with in any
factory, beioz entirely free from tbe
stale or bitter taste which is devel
oped in cream raised on unscalded
milk in the open air, and the butter
is all tbat could be desired. It is
strictly "guilt-edge," and unsurpass
ed. This combines all the best fea
tures of tbe different systems of beat
ing, cooling and exclusion from air,
without any of tbe disadvantages
which occur when either system is
employed alone.
This process of butter making, and
the apparatus used are without pat
ents, so far as I know, and I have no
doubt will continue so. But its use
haa not yet been wide enough to de
termine the question of profit It
costs a little more than the old meth
ods, and requires facilities for cooling
which will be in the way of general
adoption. Bat it has something of
value by way of pointing to bottom
facts in butter making, which seems
to be useful in an art so empyrical as
dairying.

M. Willermoz has pointed out the
utility of watering certain plants with
hot water when out of health. Such
waterings render repotting in fresh
earth needless, when the flagging of
tbe plants is caused by acid substanc
es, which, contained in tbe soil and
absorbed by tbe roots, act on living
vegetables like vertible poisons. The
small roots are withered and cease
their action, consequently tbe upper
and younger shoots of the plant turn
yellow and tbe spots with which the
leaves are covered indicate tneir
morbid state. In such cases tbe us
ual remedy is to transfer the invalids
into fresh soil, clean the pots careful
ly, secure good draiuage, and so on,
often with tbe best results, liui tbe
experience of several years has prov
ed tbe unfailing efneacy or tne sim
pler treatment, which consists in
watering abundantly with hot water
at a temperature of about 145 de
grees Fahrenheit, after stirring well
the earth in which tbe plants are
growing until tbe water runs well
ttrougb tbe pots, At its first exper
imental application, tbe water came
out clear; afterward it wa sensibly
tinged with brown, and gave an ap
preciable acid reaction. After this
thorough washing, tbe pots were
kept warm close to a stove or a calo
ri fere. Next day the leaves of two
l uu$ elaalica so treated ceased to
droop, and the spread of black spots
on ' their leaves was arrested, and
three days afterward, instead of dy
ing, the plants had recovered their
normal . look of health. . Very soon
they made new roots, immediately
followed by a vigorous growth. In
large towns especially this course of
treatment is easier to carry out than
a general repotting. Perbaph the
extra warmth may be as efficacious
as the extra water.

Thero jg CM pojnt in poultry man
agement to which we wish w pan es
pecial attention, as bat few persons
who rear poultry for pront ever at
tach much importance, notwithstand
ing tbat it has s great influence upon
the profit It is to keep your birds
tame, whether they are kept in suita
ble enclosure daring tbe entire year,
or permitted to h&ve unlimited range;
for it pays you to do so in ; many
ways. If you keep your birds te,
so they will come to you quickly at
tbe call and eat oat of your band
without any sign of fear or distrust,
they will always be quiet and con
tent, and will fatten and thrive much
better. This matter is well under
stood by breeders of the larger kinds
of stock, such as cattle, horses, sheep
and swine, while there are a sensible
few, who apply tbe same principle to
poultry. Many a fine nest or eggs
has been destroyed by a wild and
frightened hen, a hen which had ear
ly learned to fear ber master or own
er. If uniform kindness and gentle
ness bad been resorted to. tbe ben
would suffer herself to be handled
while on tbe nest, and never once
tbink of leaving jt in such a hurry as
to endanger tbe eggs. f tbe poultry
on the farm is kept tame, it is net a
very difficult matter to catch one
or more when wanted for table or
other uses.

If a hen's spur is hard, and the
scales on tbe legs are rough she is
old, whether you see her head or not,
but her head will corroborate your
observation. If tbe under bill is to
stiff that you cannot bend it down
and the comb thick and rough, leave
her, no matter how fat and plump,
for some one less particular. A
young hen has only the rudiments of
sDora : the scales on tee legs are
smooth, glossy and fresh colored,
whatever the color may be, the claws
tender and short, tbe nails snarp, tbe
under bill soft and tbe comb thin and
smooth.
Ad old turkey has rough scales on
the legs, collobities on the soles of the
feet, and long, strong claw?; a young
one the reverse or all tbeee marts.
When the feathers are on. the old
turkey cock has a long tuft or beard,
a youog hen, but a sprouting one,
and when tbey are off. tbe smooth
scales on the legs decide the point,
beside the difference in size of the
wattles of tbe neck and in the clastic
snoot upon the nose.
An old goose when alive is known
by the rough legs, the strength of tbe
wings, particularly at tbe pinions, tbe
thickness and strength of tbe bill and
fineness of the feathers, and when
plucked by tbe leg, tbe tenderness of
tbe skin under tbe wings, by tne pin
ions and the bill and tbe coarseness
of the skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the
same means, but there is tbe differ
ence that a duckling's bill is much
longer in proportion to tbe breadth
of tbe head than the old duck's.
A young pigeon is discovered by its
pale color, smooth scales, tender, col

A pigeon that can fly has always red

This question has so long been an

seem hardly worth while to discuss
it In fact there are so many argu

tbat a cow can be ruado to produce
more milk, but not any better, by the
addition of corn meal, carrots, oil

acknowledged by the majority of in
telligent dairymen to be the richest
milk-producing stock in existence);
feed her on straw and her milk will
be just as rich as if fed on corn-meal,
oil-cake or anything else. But tbe
quantity will be very deficient. In
the same stable place an Ayrshire or
any other cow tbat produces more in
quantity than quality ; give ber tbe
richest food, aud her milk will be tbe
same in point of quality, but tbe con
tents of the pail will be swelled con
siderably. A cow can Le made to
produce more by an addition of ricb
food with plenty of it, but not tetter,
and it pays largely. Those who are
not prejudiced will find an experiment
well worth a trial."
Utala for Frail ) rawer..
Michigan has become a great fruit
producing State. The crop of apples
for 1877 is estimated as wortb$2,000,
000; peaches, $1,000,090. The ice
and cold water of Lake Michigan,
keep back tbe blossoms iq tbe spring
till all danger of barm from late frosts
is past. Lakes Ontario and Erie do
the same for Western Aew lork,
Pennsylvania and Northern Ohio
Apple and peach orchards planted on
the north side of high, steep bilU,
knobs and mountains in this State,
come into bloom some weeks later
than trees growing on the south side,
or on plains ia the same latitude.
Nine tenths of all the apples and
peaches grows in Middle Tennessee
had tbe beneqt of tcis low tempera
ture last spring.
Apple aad peach trees growing on
the north side of a bill or ridge are
more subject to injury from moss
growing on their limbs and trunks
than tbey would be if tbey had more
sunshine and less damp shade. With
out tbe best attention, fruit trees are
short-lived wbere tbe air U humid,
for the reason that parasites destroy
tbem. They need more prunniug to
let in the awn, and to dry the. atmos
phere. Scraping off tbe moss - and
washing trees with the lye of wood
ashes, or giving them a coat of lime
whitewash to kill all enemies, are
proper remedies.
Been la Hprlag.
Ae soon as Spring open?, our bees
should til L;e examined by lifting the
frames ot eac h hive, an 4 if tt)o stocks
are weak, the bees are shut t cue
side of the hive by means of a di via
ion board, so as to keep up tbe neces-
sarv heat for brood-rearm? on as
many combs as tbey can cover. As
soon as tbe queen has filled these
combs with eggs we spread them
acart. insertinc an emptv comb be
tween those ouoopieit With Lrood, and
in a few days' lime tbe queen will nil
this one also; and so we keep on un
til every available cell is occupied
with brood. Thus It will be seen
tbat instead of tbe queen laying ber
eggs on tbe outside of the cluster, she
lays tbem in tbe centre of brood nest
where tbey should be. After the
hive is full ol brood aod bees, it does
not JBte much difference, as the
weather is waroi and bees are plenty,
so tbat the queen can deposit her eggs
anvwbere in tbe hive. As soon as
the Hroneest stocks are full, take a
frame of brood just gnawing out, and
place It in tbe weaker ones, giving
tbe strong one an empty comb for tbe
queen to fill again, aad s keep on
until all are full.
PraalBg FraltTree.
Fruit trees should be pruned when
the trees are dormant. However,
doriog tbe mild days of witter or
chards nay be pruned, while little
else can be done, but good judgment
should be exercised la regard to ae.
lectins: tbe branches to be cut awav.
It is ruinous to an orchard to cut and
slash away one-third to one-half tbe
limbs. All tbat should be done is to
give the trees a good shape, and only
pjjt away such limbs as are clearly in
eacess ol the natural acquirements of
the tree to conform to the extent of
its roots. If we take away too much
of the top of a tree it is just like tak
ing blood from a man the more tbat
ia taken tbe less vitality remains in
him; therefore, in pruning, only the
few unsightly branches and those
imprijperjy fjtuated should be cut
away. When tree's jrj prcntd, es
pecially in winter, it is best to cover
the wounds with a hot mixture of tar
and fine sand, or pulverized brick
dust. A solution of shelac in alcohol
as thick as can be applied with a
brush ia also a good preparation.
