CORNED RERF. —In cooking corned

FARM Aoooncrs.—How many farmeis
are able to tell the d*st or eveu live pru
nct pf, any of their crops ? Farming
is uow more or less successful, as it is
conducted on ordiuarv busicesa princi
ples. If a choiw of crops were not
permitted, er the manner oi cojslucting
a farm were immutably fixe*l, then it
would not matter whether account* were
kept or not. But when it makm all the
difference between a gain or a kiss,
whether Uiis crop or that shall le raised,
it is necessary to act andervan as
to the cost of producing either ot them,
and their relative yields when &oid or
consumed. Then, tn feeding Urn pa*>-
duce of a farm, how little is known of
the relative merits of breeds of cuttle to
re par the cost of fixnl aud labor, or
whether this or that species of stock is
best snited t the circumstance* of the
farm, or disposition of the farmer him
self. For instance, a man of impatient
or irregular disposition cannot jvwoihly
feed slieep to advantage. The perfect
regularity with which all their needs
must be attended to. is impossible with
some men : still we see or h ar that this
or that man has no luck with sheep, and
yet he persists in keeping, or at least try
ing to keep them at a certain loss. But
he cannot tell how much he loses, or
what their feed has cost, or what was the
weight of any particular lb-ec' Until
a farmer keeps a regular atvOUnt-book,
and notes all those things which are
neecßsvrr as a lamas on which to calcu
late costs and income, he is continually
at the mercy of accidents, and cannot
evrect to rc.Tize the true vaiut of his
labor.
SHiFPrea Fsrrr. lnexperienmd fruit
growers are often surprised at the small
returns they receive from firms to which
they consign goods. In many oases,
donbUess, the middle-men run up such
a bill of commission* and charges, as to
effectually eat up any bui it is
often the fault of the grower in forward
ing unsorted and lwdly picked fruit.
Numerous letters hare recently been
forwarded to farmers in the peach-grew
iag districts, advising them to be more
particular in picking and shipping fruit.
A" consignment of one hundred boss of
peaches was recently sold in New York
for a dollar a box. on which Hie charge*
amounted to mm ty-uiu- nan!*, ihns lin"
ing the grower only nine NOB On,
which by no means paid him for his
trouble, or the interest on his invest
ment One half of these peaches are
said to have been good ones, which if
packed by themselves, would have read
ily brought S3 a box. One fourth of ihe I
lot was soft and crushed, and the remain
der were hard and nnripe. As the
freight on a box of peaches or vegetable*
is the same whether the contents be good ■
or laid, it is important that inly good
frnit should be sent, if any priSit ia ex
pected from the transaction. It is the '
quality, not quantity, of fruit which
bring* good prices, and growers should
bear this in ramd when sending off their
goods. What is true of peaches holds
good of other fruit* and vegetables. A
poor article tmdly picked will hardly
bring enough to pay for its forwarding
and selling.
MAICSO HAT. —In regard to ripe grass
and hay made of grass that has already
gone to seed, the Maasnchusrtt* Plote
rtian says some argue that cattle love this
dry fodder, and that there is mote notir-
L-hment in the hay than if the grass
were cut in its green, succulent state. If
so, why do not the instincts of cattle
lead them to eat it when roving in the
]iastnrea and acting their option as to
what thev will eat All must have ob
served that when any locality in a pas
. tore has gone to seed, the cattle avoid it,
and nothing but starvation will induce
them to eat such grass. The instincts
of cattle are a pretty sure guide—cer
tainly as likely to be correct as the ab
stract reasonings of the minority of
men. The true principle in haying, we
think, is to secure the hay at a time
when we can harvest the largest amount
that shall be like press in its perfect
state ; this we can do when grass has at
tained its growth, and liefore the starch,
sugar and gluten of the plant have gone
to the formation of seed, or been con
verted into woody fibre. The starch and
other nutritious compounds are on the
increase so long as the plant grows ; but
with blossoming growth ceases, and is
the time, with the least labor, to secure
the createst amount of lorage iu its best
ondition.
FRESH GRASS FOB HORSES. —It is not
strange that an animal that runs wild
upon the prairies, and graze* the year
round in his natural state, should pine
when confined to a diet of hay and grain.
The stabled horse will do well for a time,
if npt worked too hard, upon dry food.
But he can not endure the privation of
green, succulent food continually. The ;
horses upon our city railroads average
only three and a half years of service.
They either die in the harness, or are
prematurely broken down, and sold off
to men who slaughter them for their
hides and carcasses. This early failure
is not more owing to hard service than
to the privation of their natural food.
The great eagerness with which a stabled
lorse croj>s grass, especially in the
spring, indicates clearly enough the food
he should have. It is not always con
venient to turn out a horse for a month
or two in summer, when he is most
needed for service on the farm or in the
family carriage. He should always have j
his daily feed of green grass for two or i
three months in the year, and if he can
not go to pasture, the grass should be
brought to the stable.— Hearth and Home.
SPECULATION.—A new style of stock
speculation has come into vogue in
England. Men take out policies of life
insurance and then put them np at
public auction. A man in Liverpool
lately realized 815,000 upon the policy of
a tradesman which he had bought for
8760. The tradesman was so obliging as
to die two days after the policy came into
the jiossesion of the speculator.
WHEN. —The Providence Journal dis
cussing the question as to how soon a

after the first."

RAIXINO FISH.— It seems recently to
have rained fish in Scotland. A Scotch
paper says that an unusually large num
ber of herrings were lately observed
swimmiDg near the shore in Grauton
harbor. Their presence was attributed
to a heavy sea driven shoreward by a
strong easterly wind. Next, however,
great quantities were found washed on
the bench and the harbor bulwark, where
they attracted flocks of sea birds and
crows. Finally, hundreds of these small
herrings were found lying on the roods
near the coast. One gentleman found
several in his garden. Tlie phenomenon
is attributed to a waterspout which oc
curred just previously, and is supposed
to have lifted the fish from the sea high
into the air, whence they were conveyed
to the land by the easterly wind which
prevailed at the time.

Ml Xcw Bilk Macqur.
I wunt to toll, iwvii a lady corre<qHiii
leiit of Arth'O-'s Horn" that I
invc a now -ilk Nicqtic that is quite tt*
itylish as any I have soon in the strivts
>r stores, and that cost ine only twenty- j
Ive eentn for lining, and eight cents for
R'uiiig-silk. I n nlly must toll you aboutj
it, for 1 am quite proud of my achieve-"!
aient.
First, it ia made out of about two
breadths of a silk dross which has be**
in wear for the last nineteen year*
Mother s|<oiigcd the silk, and iroucd it
on the wrong side ao nicely that it look
txl just as good as new. Mother can do
up things beautifully. The wlk (Mating
me nothing, I though 1 would venture
on a little extravagance, aud buy soffTe
guiputv liM'e. aud some satin for piping,
to trim it with. Money is not at all
plenty at our house, and we all have to
trv to lay out every ju'uuy to the beat
advantage. So I really did fee! as if
this i-acnue tritntiiiug was almost au uu
justiliable extravagance. But then 1
didn't have a new silk saoque every day.
The morniug tliat I was working ou
it mother said to me : " How would you
like fringe insteid of huw ?"
1 replied that 1 knew Iriuge was more
fashionable, but 1 really liked lace best.
" But if tlie fringe costs you nothing ?"
I didn't exactly see where the friugo
was to conic from, but I was ready to
receive any suggestions. So mother
brought out an old parasol, dilapidated,
faded and lame. Unit had seeu its Iswt
days at least live years before, aud was
now haudod over as a plaything to the
children. It was bordered with heavy
friuge, sadly tangled and faded. This
she proposed to dyo ; and I, very doubt
ful of her success, agreed to wait the
trial, at tlie same time remarking that
it was a pity there wasu't some old satin
alxmt the house that would do to make
the piping with, so as to have the entire
thing second-hand ; but I could think
of nothing but an old satiu vest that had
Ix-en out of wear for a number of years.
"Just the thing," mother said ; and off
she j sotted atjd brought it. The vest
was fifteen yekrs old, but was made of
the thickest and fiue-t of veat satin ; aud
though it had seeu much wear, it was as
black and glossy as ever, except at the
folds and seams. I made a calculation
about the quantity of piping 1 required,
and found the vest, cut to the best ad
vantage, would furnish just enough. It
made beautiful pipiug—no fraying about
the edges—round and full, needed noth
ing to stiffen it.
I cut and made my saeqtie myself.
Mother brought the fringe iu due season,
dyed a beautiful black, and combed
sniiMtfi. And here is the saoque all
finished, just as nice as though every
jxirt of it was bran new ; aud the cost,
us 1 have already said, was only thirty
three cents.
A Trick Horse.
A correspondent who interviewed the
proprietor ef a trick horse, says :
" There." said Mr. Harrison, pointing
to him with pride. " I raised him mv
self from the time he was foaled ; he's
rising nine, now, and just as good an
animal as he ever was. He cost me S3OO
at first, but I wouldn't take $3,000 for
him ; no, nor three times that. ' Come
here, Charley.'" The horse came up
to him, and stowd looking at me with his
head over his master's shoulder.
" Is he a trick horse ? "
" Yea ; but I don't often use him for
that. He can walk on his hind legs, and
dance, uud drink out of a bottle; but
that's alwjys empty. I usually do only
the ' Arab and his dying stead.' "
" How did vou train him ? "
*■ Ily kindness—that's tlie only way—
to be sure. Of course you can make
an J animal obey by leathering him
our ugh ; but then sonic time when you
ain't looking out hell play you on ugly
! trick—baulk when von'ro jumping to
let you tumble on the ground, or rear
and fall backwards on you. They're
cunnicg about that sort of thing. I've
seen a splendidly educated horse come
into the ring aiul just stand at ill, not do
a single trick, and seem to enjoy seeing
his master hooted at"
" Do you never punish him ? "
'• Certainly ; but 1 always do it so
that he uudwrstauds what I'm whipping
him for. \\ hen he's done wrung, ha
knows just as well as I do. and knows he
must take the consequences. But I
havn't lifted the whip against him for
more than two years."
"\\ hat is the method of educating
animals ? "
"Well, with different animals there's
different ways. With horses and dogs
you show 'em first what you want done,
and show 'em often enough for them to
understand it. Then I lift them around
and put them through the motions. Af
ter several times they find out what vou
want done and do it themselves. Tlien
1 reward them on the spot. It's all easy ;
tou've only to keep your temper and be
ind. Very often it is necessary in the
l>eginning to flog an animal soundly,
bnt that's to let him know who is mas
ter. Some horses learn very quickly,
but tliat kind forget just as stain. I like
best a slow horse, because he'll re
member longer."
•• Have they good memories ? "
" You can teach a horse for a year,
and then if yon turn him out to grass
for a few mouths he'll forgwt all he's
learned except the simplest things and
two or three words of command. These
they will never forget. I think their
minds are not big enough to hold much.
WEIOHTS AND AGES.— Somebody who
lias been " studying our teeighs" reports
that, upon the average, boys at a birth
weigh a little more and girls a little less
than six pounds and a half. For the
first twelve veare the two sexes continue
nearly equal In weight, hut beyond that
time males acquire a decided prefninder
ance. Thus voting men of twenty aver
age 143 pounds each, while the young
women of twenty average 120 pound*.
Men reach their "heaviest bulk at alxtiit
thirty-five, when they average almtit 152
pounds : but women slowly increase in
weight until fifty, when their average is
about 129 pounds. Taking men and
women together, their weight at full
growth averages about twenty times a*
heavy as they were on the first day of
their existence. Men range from 198 to
220 {touuds, and women from fW to 207
pounds. The actual weight of human
nature, taking the average of all ages and
conditions—nobles, clergy, tiukers, tail
ors. maidens, boys, girls, and babies all
included—is very nearly 100 pounds
These figures are given in avoirdujiois
weight ; but the advocates of the supe
riority of woman might make a nice point
by introducing the rule that women lie
weighed by Troy weight—like other jew
els —andmenly avoirdupois. The figures
will tlien stand : young men of twenty,
143 pouuds each; young women of
twenty, ICO pounds.
INTERESTINO TO DBCOOISTS. —An
apothecary in one of the interior coun
ties of New York has been sued for dam
ages by the husband of a woman to
whom he sold lnudnnum to IM* used as a
beverage, and the Supreme Court has
decided that the suit can IM* maintained.
The plaintiff avers that the ajMithecary
supplied his wife with the narcotic daily
for six months, knowing the use she
made of it, and that he was put to great
cxjwnse in repairing the injury thus oc
casioned t<> her bodily and mental health.
The case is so similar to that of the
liquor seller supplying liquor to the ha
bitual drunkard, that if the question of
the Court is maintained by the Court of
Appeals we may expect numerous suits by
wives and husbands whose domestic hap
piness lias lx.>en ruined by excessive
drinking against the immediate authors
of the injury.
A friend of ours was {raveling while

wa* kind enough to help lum upoiUur* ;
and he lav upon the tied so prostrated
j that I thought h" was going to die.
Then I remeuilxjred the French brandy
I you guve me iu case of sickness. I ran
| to get it out
Have a little brandy and water, dear ?"
I I said. •
" The very tiling. Smith ia exhausted,
j too. (live some to Smith," *aid he.
And so I reproach myself for mv not
having thought of it before Mr. Umith
was gone. But I gave a glass to Or
: lando, and, under Providence, I think it
saved his life ; for, oh, bow bad he wa* !
"Belle," *aid he. quite faltering in
his speech, " the room is gotug round
so fast that I can't catch your eye. And
besides there's two of you, and I don't
know which is which." *
I knew tfipse were dreadful symptoms.
"Take a drink, dear," raid I, "and
I'll try to w:iko Mary, and send her for
the doctor."
"No," said he, "I'll Wall right in
the morning. I'm all right now. Here's
your heulth. You're a brick. I "
And over he fell, fast asleep.
Oh, why do men think so much of
inouey-inaktng Is not health Wrier
than anything else.
Of course he had laid down in his hat,
I took that off first. And I managed
to divest him of his coat. But when it
came to his tmots—dearest aunt, did yon
ever take off a gentleman's boots ?
probably not, us yoj are a single lady—
what a task! How do they ever git
on ? I pulled and pulled, and shook
and wriggl*d, and gave it up. But it
would not do to h*aveUiem on all (tight;
so I went at it agnin, and at last one
came off so suddenly, and over I went
on the floor, andin*o his hat, which I
had put down there for a minute. I
could have cried. And the other came
off in the same way, just as hard and just
as sudden at lost. Then I put n soft
blanket over Orlaudo, and sat in my
sewing chair all night. Oh, how heavily
he breathed ! And I had, as you may
fancy, the most dreadful fears. He
might have killed himself by his over
application to business, for all that I
knew. The perfect ones go first, it is
aaid.
Oh, how differently should I have felt
had anything happened to my beloved
Orlando. He lis.* not hail so exhausting
a day since, and I think he sees the folly
of overwork ; though if courts will keep
o|eii so late, what can poor lawyers do ?
I think it is very inconsiderate of the
judge. I wonder whether he has a wife
—the mean old thing !

We have noted the fact that immi
grants from the British Provinces arc
)>onring into New England nt the rate of
five hundred souls jier month The rea
son for this sudden and remarkable
movement is given in a recent letter
from New Brunswick, written by a
native of that Province. " I was fw>ru
and brought up in New Brunswick," he
savs, " and, like many others, recently
left there, owing to the stagnation of
business generally occasioned bv the
lack of enterprise." This writer dilutes
upon the want of a progressive spir
it in the colony. He declares that while
there ore some wealthy and enterprising
men in New Brunswick, their enterprise
extends only to their individual inter
ests ; " they seem to be dead to the fu
ture welfare of the country." If it be
true that this spirit pervades the influen
tial class of the community, the cause of
the departure of thousands is plain.
Tied down at home, they hurst their
bonds by coming to the United Whites,
where there is room enough for their en
ergies to expnnd, and where their enter
prises will not be cramped for want of ap
preciation. Let them come!
KILL THE KINO BIBDH. —A New Eng-
Innd fanner writes : King Birds attack
jor fight all birds—they arc the king of
birds. After fightiug and pulling the
feathers of the largest hawks, high in
the air, they often light on thieir hacks
soiling along without fear. Very lately
a pair of them built a nest near to my
j poultry yard, and they seamed delight
ed,to pitch into the hens near enough, to
pull their feathers, and are successful in
driving them away. I know them to
have killed some smaller birds than
themselves and destroy their eggs ; also
to attempt to go into the martin and
swallow holes to commit depredation,
and have severe buttles with them. No
birds destroy more honey bees than they
—of which they kill vast numbers anil
only eat the liea Is of thein. Hornets
ana wasps are served the same wsy.
A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to

SCKNWI AT THK MORUI'K.
Around tlie deod-houae, the groat eX
citeßirnt rrorluxl its culimuatioii. Hoard
iv hud the ttmt ambulance wagon with
its mul freight of mutilated humanity, ;
reached the h<>*|>itul gate* when the
l|tiickly increasing crowd tua<le a ruah
for the Morgue, punbiug and crowding
for a front place to view the horrifying
i apcctnclc Hut there were those tlicn
who were drawn thither hy the dread
iiiveniity of looking for thoae deal inia
■itig one# for whom they had searched
eagerly <>hiewhere licfore daring to think
of the Morgue. That was a possibility
they would u< t allow themselves to con
template.
Due |>or fellow apixwlmgly iuforuied
the Warden that they were a party of
aeveu nu the land, all hi* owu family ;
that hia wife was dying at home, one
eliihl dead at home, and he waa search
ing for the other*, lu a moment Mr.
Ilreiinun took hi* arm and led him around
to iniqxx*t the terrilde array,now amount
' nig to Uiirty oorjwe*. "My thai," M
-1 claimed the jxxir fellow, "there'* my
' little Tilly," pointing to a child alxuit
eighteen months old. For a while Mr.
1 j ltreiiuaa stood holding hi* hand, and
uftcr •• ticketing " the poor little thing
' | silent I v drew him away to look for hia
other lost one*. Another jioor fellow
' so a!most maddened a* lie oeajvlied
among the Ixxlies for his aiater, whoae
hualiuiid had only been ilcail three
' uiontlia. She had been seated in the
: Indies' cabin, with her only child, a loy
' five yi-ar* old, ou her lap. They were
' both blown into the river by tbe eiplo
• aion, and the child, on being rescued,
run home to his uncle, and exclaimed,
■'"Mother's killed!" It was too true;
' the child escaped unharmed; tire mother,
1 in whose lap lie wo* sitting. was woiiuded
' mortally.
There on tlie slabs of the Morgue,
' with lights aroiiud them, and tlie jet* of
r ! pure water sprinkling their mangled
1 and scalded boiliea, lav thirteen corpses.
' There was no room /or more. Nearest
■ the entrance was a highly re*j<eetable
1 young woman, *22 or 28 year* of age,
' with clear cut, handsome features, drcsa
' xl iu black, who had been drowmxl.
- Hut for the pallor ou her face, she might
1 have beou thought asleep. A woman
> lay next to her. This poor woman was
' so" near her eonlluemaut that, when her
body was brought in, herchild was half
1 born. Lyiug half way between aiid luilf
1 upon thcM- two women was a little child
' about eighteen months old, fearfully
• scalded, ami with her laxly disteudtxl
I witli sea-water. Iu the dend-hoiute ad
■ joiuiug and in tlie court-yard were rows
and rows of rough pin- coffins ; some
! containing those drowned or killed on
. the K|*it, others thoae who hail died iu
° the hospitals and who, when stripped of
' their clothe*, presented a sickening
> sjxvtaele. In this court-v*rd a man ap
' {mired with a small bundle in his arms,
1 and said, •'Here's another poor Uttle
boliy." A man sprang forward, crying,
I " let me look at it he groaned as
' though his heart would burst, and turn
i iug to the hosj'itid man, said : "May 1
r take her away ? when did she die ■?"
j " Atxiut five minutes sgo," replied the
man; "I'm very sorry, but yon can't
take her away to-night." The poor fel
low turned away, saying, " IVruaps I'd
better not. It might kill her mother in
lier present state." The mother, too,
was terribly nodded.
THK BOILER or THK BOA*.
The fragment of the exploded boih-r
was inspected by hundred*. It was \
\ piece of iron five feet iu h-ngtli, alx>ut
: two feet in width, and weighed fifty
seven (Miunds. It hail lc-n twisted al
most in a cylindrical form, and each
edge was rough and uneven, a* though
a giant had torn it from it* place as or
, ditiary strength would tear a rotten
fabric. One of the edges had tliia ap
]K-Hranee much more marked than the
other, and awakened the awe of the nn
i learned and expert* alike at the tre
mendous power which had been exerted
to rent! it from tlie boiler. This edge
is difficulty to describe. If tho reader
has ever torn a antton fabric, and noticed
the ragged edge which he caused, he
<-an form some idea of the apiiearance of
thi* fragment And it was the general
testimony of the exiwrta who examined
i it that the lxnfer hail been made of good
iron, was in projx-r condition for service
when it cxplodixl, and that the extremely
thin jmrt at tlie anum. which has lain
mentioned, was not reqxuiiible for ih
disaster, as if the boiler had first given !
way there, which it was claimed it had 1
not, it would only have leaked, musing
some annoyance, but no danger. The
infercuee whieli these expert* seemed
to ilniT, and which some of them dis
tinctly did draw, was that theexplo*ii>n
was due to negligence, or, in plain words,
to a lack of water. One engineer of
long experience dix-loml that lie is no
believer in diqxHisatioti* of Providence
in connection with steam-boiler*. In
almost every case, lie said, an explosion
is due to allowing the water to get too
low and snddenllv forcing in a new
supply, and he IxJiovod that anrh had
been the fact in this instance. Eiigimxw*.
he contiuued, rarely arc brave enough
; to accept the risk due to their uegligeure. j
If they allow the water to get low they I
will take the ehance of forcing in a sup
ply of cold water rather titan take the
hazard of a discharge by admitting
their fault, aud insisting on tlie delay
necessary for the Ixnlers to cool.
!
OPINION or AX EXiiINKKH.
We give Vielow the opinion of an old
engineer of thirty years exjx-ricncc. He
ha* thoroughly examined the exploded
boiler. He Amis the iron to be in very
good condition, free from scale, and
ca]wble of sustaining double the aiuonnt
of pnasure stated by tlie engineer at the
time of tlie explosion. He would ask,
I " Was tbe engineer hurt ? Wen- any of
the firemen killed or wounded ?" The
engineer says he was in tlie boiler room
a few minutes before the explosion, triixl
the water, aud found three cock*. He
al*< Kays lie asked tlie fireman how tlie
water was. He replied. "All right"
Our informant contends that no living
j lieing could have been ill the firc-rooni
at the time of the explosion without be
ing torn to shreds with tho enormous
pressure required to rend a boiler a*
this one is torn. His candid opinion is
that there was but little water in the
boiler, and that when the pump was put
on, the natural consequence was a tre
mendous pressure of gas generated far
beyond the strength of the metal. If lie j
hal the three cock* of water, and had
more steam than was necessary, where
WHS his safety valve to carry off the ex-,
; cos* ? Itcport says the valve did not
| work. If so, he was doubly culpable in
| not removing the difficulty.

When he recovered he found himself in i

that it was portion of tbe deck that was 1
blown overooard, but it may have been I

would drown unless he exerted himself, 11
he dived, and swimming under water i

A lIKSOLATK HOME.
Early Sunday tnoruiug Michael Fin
lay's brother railed at the house aud
made a propoaiLion for all the family to
vi>it Ktateu LlauJ. The propuaitiou was
agreed to, and tlie wife, after dinner,
{inquired herself and children for the
trip. Previous to starting, FiuLty, con
cluded to stay home and care for three
iof tlie children, but prevailed on his
wife to acconi|MUiy the brother and ber
little infant, aged IU months. Five, A,
.ind 7 o'clock struck, but Mrs. Fiulay
had not arrived. The husband, getting
uneasy, with hi* children went to the
front dixir-strp, when he heard of the
cata-trnphe. After anxious inquiries he
learned that it was Ute Statcn Island
Ixmt, aud about tlie one his wife woukl
lie likely to retch. Without more ado he
left his" cliildren f charge of the neigh
bors and started for Ilclleruc Hospital.
The answer to hia inquiries was that hia
wife aud child were in a critical condi
tion. lioth being terribly scalded. He
n-maimxl with them all night, and in the
morning tbe child died and his vife be
come nucouaciotia He came down to his
home a wrecked man. Entering the
house he sjxike to none, but droiq>d
dawn in a chair, crying as though hia
heart would break. All their question*
were unheeded, and even hi* little chil
dre-n who innocently prattled and asked
question* atxiut their nmnima and rlam-
Iwred an hia kmx-* were insufficient to
break hia ami reverr. After some time
he related hi* misfortune*, lxit in such
an iipMberent manner that hia listener*
Ix-reme alarmed. At A o'clock next even
ing. with a relative, Mr. Ftnlay repaired
to the hospital and h-arned hia wife had
been carried to the dead bouse. He en
tered the iron gate which divides the
dcad-hounc from the street, and *aw the
atteudauta in tlie act of lifting hia wife
from tho stretcher to tho wodden box
where the eonmc was laid. He immedi

How ta Ft ad'- tka Income Tax.
A man already awoeaacd loft Notting
ham, in England, and went to Birming
ham, leaving £A of income tax unpaid.
He waa followed to Birmingham and re
quested to pay up hia arrears He dis
regarded the notices served upon him
What ia more, he stuck them up in hia
office, and annotated thera satirically.
I At last he was informed in red letter*
I that if he did not jiar, he would be "pro
ceeded against." Being a man of nerve,
:he took uo notice of tbe threat. Then,
in the course of a month or two, be
received a huge, fooLeap letter—written,
not lithographed—from Somerset House,
asking tlie grounds on which he declined
to pay. He replied, after a week or two,
that the reason he liail not paid the
money, wa* that he hain't it Two or
three months afterward lie was told that
wa* not a reason of which " Her Majes
ty'* Commissioners eon Id take cogni
zancc."
He failed to see this, and, " Her
Majesty's Commissioners'' sjier.t some
ten month* in *rguing the point—still
in writing. At last " Her Majwty'* Com
missioueni" Ixx-anie peremptory. They
wrote, through their see re tarv, tliat they
" declined to argue tlie question further;
tho money must W paid." The defaulter
replied that he " was kind," and that he
should, therefore. " decline to bold any
further correspondence with the depart
ment." Well,, the matter went on for
five years, ami during that time the pec*
eaut person never jaid a farthing of
income tax. His one anwer to all ap- i
Slications wna that lie was in eorrespon-1
eriee with the department. At last a!
warrant wax issutxl and entniated to tho ■
sheriff of the district for execution.
Tbe defaulter being in lodging*, the j
shenfl's officer concluded it would lx* of
no u*(> to distrain, so he ttxik the default
er's body. Thia wa* illegal. An officer
has no right to take the body of an in-:
come-tax defaulter until he ha* distrained
and finds the pnxveils of the distraint
sufficient to meet the demands. The
result wa* that the defaulter commenced 1
aa action for false imprisonment against
the officer, and did not withdraw it till
the sheriff had jmid tho amount di on
account of the tax and costs, a* well a* a
small douceur, which sufficed to pay the
expenses incurred by the defaulter in
giving a dinner to a few frieuds to cele

How HR did it. An ingenious English
Iwrristrr in Miulru* who hsd grown tired j
; of his wifr lutel v iustitntod prtxxwding* j
■ to obtain s divorce from her, and. Mine j
had a nototioMsly good character ujkju !
which he con hi throw no shadow of ana- ;
jin ioii, be wns in dangor of lowing his I
suit, for Madras is not as Indiana, nor is
incompatibility of temperament there
held to warrant the legal severance of the
marriage contract. A happy thought
; struck the wily barrister—a change of
heart oune niton him, and be became a
' convert to falam, and then, as Mahome
tan custom allows every true believer to
increase and multiply his wives, be mar
. ried the idol of nis soul—his bulbul,
whose sweet notes first hsd charmed him
| from his English wife. This new beloved
! was a French woman, who also became a
|. convert, and the two were received into
I the fold of the faithful at a mosque in
Vellore, and then were wedded with the
II greatest splendor. The Christian wife,
if not too thoroughly disgusted with bar
husband, yet may cause htm trouble, for
, she has her undoubted rights, which
, j easily could be eufuroed.
