19 EVENING SCENE.
I stood at ere by the river aide,
Watching the flow of the falling tide.
Out of the west came a gleam of gold.
Far in the east the thunder rolled ;
Over the fields for nulea away.
Came stealing night in hia robe of g ay.
Out of the harbor into the bay.
Over the water far away.
Into the west where the glorious sun,
8 uka to rest when the day is done.
One by one the good ships sail
With wings outspread to the evening gale.
Over the hills a sodden gleam.
Lit up the breast of the peaceful stream ;
The glorious light but a moment staid,
Then faded away in the gathering shade.
The far-off ships slow sank from sight.
Into a sea of dreary night.
Cooing A -drumming.
When I went "a-drumming" I did
not take a drum with me. That would
have been ridiculous, as you shall see.
Nor did I go as a 'drummer' for a mer
cantile or a manufacturing concern.
Words sometimes mean so many differ
ent things that we have to be particular,
What I did was to go' fishing for
"drums," which are certain large fish,
found in Southern waters.
I was dowu at St. Augustine, in
Florida, that most ancient city in this
country where there is an old fort or
castle, built by the Spaniards more than
three hundred years ago, and where
the narrow streets, tbe curious stone
houses with over-reaching balconies,
the ruins of the old city gates, and
many other ancient and foreign-looking
things, make it difficult to realize that
it is really an American city. And be
sides the antiquities, and the delightful
climate, and the orange-trees and the
roses that bloom out of doors the whole
winter, there is capital fishing. Right
in front of the town is the 3latanzas
Kiver, and it is full of fish. You can
catch them almost anywhere.
The drum-fish gets its name from its
l al.it of making a drumming sound
as it swims about, near the bottom of
the river. Sometimes, as persons are
rowing or sailing along the river, hun
dreds of these fish can be heard drum
ming away, down under the boat. But
although there are so many of them.
they are not very easy to catch ; for they
seem indifferent to food which they see
dangling alout on strings.
When I had heard about these fi.-h, I
determined, as soon as possible, to try
to catch one; and one fine morning I
went down to the wharf where a great
many sail -boats and row-boats were
lying, most of them for hire to visitors,
and I asked an old fisherman, w ith
whom I had become acquainted, if he
could take me out after drums.
"Drums ?" said he. "Do you want
to go a-drunimiu'?"
I told him that I was very anxious to
do so.
"Well"' he said, "I can't go to-day,
and it ain't jist the tide for drums,
nuther."
"But the tide will be right before
long, won't it?" I asked.
"Oli, yes. The tide will always lie
right if you wait long enough. But
I've got other things to do this niorn
itT." "Where is a good place to go? You
can tell me that, if you can't go with
me yourself."
'Well there's several good places. I
kin tell you of a very good place for
you to git drums, this mornin'."
"Where's that?" I asked.
"Over there at the fish market," he
said. "You'll run a better chance
there than any place I know of."
I saw the old fellow had not much
faith in me as a fisherman, but I would
not get angry with him. It's a poor
business to get angry with people who
may be of use to you. So I left him and
hired a sail-boat with a young man to
manage it.
When I caught about a bucketful of
whitings we set sail for home. On the
wharf I met the old fisherman.
'Well," said he, "did you get
drum?"
"Xo," I replied; we fished for whit
ings, and caught a good many of them."
"Whitings is good fish enough, but
they aint drums," said he. "But we
oughter be glad for what we can git
There's a row of fellers fishin' on that
side of the wharf, that are satisfied
with ship jacks, which is a mean little
fish as I take it."
Catharine II. of Komii as an Authoress.
C atharine was the author of several
books intended for children, in. which
the theory of education is fully, though
somewhat pedantically developed. Of
these, "The Story of Prince Chlorus'
and "the Story of Prince Pbicbus" are
the best known. Both of the young
princes are model boys, such as Miss
Edgeworth was wont to choose for her
favorite heroes. Chlorus, son of an
early Russian czar, is carried off by a
hirghcsian khan, and before he can
regain his freedom is required to find a
rose without thorns. This rarity is in
tended to symbolize virtue. The youth
is aided in his search by the good ser
vices of Filicia, the khan's wife, who
gives him for a companion, her eldest
son, Reason. Numerous are the diffi
culties that beset the adventurers, but
their single-mindedness and persever
ance overcome every danger, and the
wished-for rose is at length discovered
on the summit of a lofty and almost in
accessible rock. In the person of Phoe
bus we have the exemplar of a perfect
prince, who in his youth lives in loving
obedience to the wise instructions of
his parents and tutors, and after his
marriage ascends the throne, and wins
the loyal attachments of his subjects by
his righteous and gentle rule. The for
tunate youth is richly endowed with
every possible and few impossible vir
tues; is good-hearted, manly and truth
ful; and will not lie even in jest; and
engages one of his servants to remind
him each day that "he is but a mortal
like others," lest his heart should be
tilled with vain pride. There is an un
reality in the character, which, we
should think, cannot impose on the dis
cernment of the most juvenile reader;
and the whole story is conceived in that
mawkishly moral style which, at the
time of its composition was considered
to be the necessary staple of literature
for the young. In spite, however, of
its antiquated notions it seems to be
till read and admired, an edition hav
ing been printed as recently as 1S73. In
a letter to Voltaire, Catharine speaks of
her dramatic works as being weak in
plot and ill-sustained in intrigue, but
as natural and true to their characteri
zation. Nor is the eulogy, though it
proceeds from the author herself, alto
gether undeserved. Any deficiencies
they may exhibit as works of art are
more than atoned for by the liveliness
and judgment with which the manners
of her epoch axe portrayed. "In the
composition of my comedies," she writes
to Xovikoff, "I have taken all my con-
ceptlona of character from my own
country, and thus, without quitting
home, have found in It alone materials
for satire sufficiently abundant for a
pen far more practised than I can ever
hope to wield." By thus abjuring the
position of classicism, and by wisely
confining the actions of her comedies to
her own age and land, she has increased
rather than lessened their interest, and
given us sketches of Russian life in the
eighteenth century which for fidelity
and completeness will bear comparison
with the best productions of Von Tiezin.
f lueer Errors.
Even in the works of some of the
greatest artists we find objects intro
duced which were not in use at the
epoch represented by the painting.
That there is nothing new nuder the
sun is a maxim, the broad truth of
which will lie conceded by most men ;
but when Alhert Durer goes so far as
to introduce a tenthedstcad, a commod
ious cooking-range, and an array of
china candle-sticks, surmounted by
molern-sliaied candles, into his "Birth
of the Virgin." the stcctator is not un
naturally inclined to doubt whether
the painter was altogether justified in
his creation. In Silvio Manaigo's pic
ture of the sale of Joseph to the l-h-maelites,
the coat of one of the brothers
is not only fastened, but even decorated
by buttons which were not then in
vented. An exquisite painting, by
Salvator Itosa. represents the Baptist
preaching in the wilderness; but the
whole effect is spoiled by the presence
in the background of some jaunty spec
tators in slouch hats and flaunting
feathers. Van 1'yck himself represents
one of the aiiostles in sea boots in his
picture of "The Miraculous Draught of
Fishes," v hich is now in the National
Gallery. And Paul Veronese paints
some Italian easaiits in felt hat and
plumes, calmly contemplating the
doration of the Magi. But these
anachronisms fade anav into nothing
ness beside that committed bv a Span-
sh artist, who represents Abraham,
when offering I-aac as a sacrifice, a
about to shoot him w it h a pistol !

Cows and Grass. Grass is sweetest
and gives the best results in milk when
it Is eaten off at regular intervals and
is not allowed to get a large growth. In
this way the product is greater while
tbe exhaustion to the soil is less than it
s where tufts of grass are allow ed to
mature and go to seed. Cows ought not
to be turned at once from hay to pas
ture, since a sudden change of this kind
will be apt to ailect their health.
better way is to give them the run of the
pastures lor an hour or two at first, and
so allow them gradually, from day to
day, to become accustomed to the
change of food, and they should be fed
from time to time with hay after they
nave oeen turned to pasture altogether.
Cows will frequently eat ereedilv of
hay when they have been out to pasture
lor a considerable length of time, and
rations of hay will often be found use
ful in correcting a tendency to loose
ness of the bowels or scouring. Some
dairymen are in the habit of giving salt
to animals at certain intervals of time.
but the better way is to keep it con
stantly before them or within their
reach so they can take it daily or at
will. Nature regulates the quantity
of salt needed much better than it can
be done by portioning it out at inter
vals, and if the animal always has it
within reach there is nodaugerot over
feeding and the milk will show les
variation in character. An important
point to be observed in the management
ol ioiik stock Is to keep them in
healthy, thrifty condition, and if cows
on turning to grass are inclined to lose
nesti and run down weak and thin, they
should be fed rations of ground grain,
and thus be kept up to the maximum ol
health and strength. I t ruiont Fanner.
Sasd for Cattle Bedding. Sand if
not the best, is one of the best articles
in use for bedding cattle. It is a good
deodorizer, and keeps the stable sweet.
As the cattle work it back into the
trench under their feet, it mixes with
the manure, and thus divides it and
makes it more suitable for the use of
plants. If the distance to haul is not
too far, Its very cheapness ought to
recommend its use. In barns that have
no cellars, were it used freely, it would
absorb a large amount of urine that is
now wasted. Sou and muck are dirty
things to use in the stable, and sand is
clean. I ben, too, it is a nice thing to
use under hen roosts, to receive tbe
droppings, which can be easily raked
off and kept in barrels, and in spring
mix with nne cow manure one part ol
the former to two parts of the latter,
This being shoveled over, thoroughly
two or three times, makes a mass ol rich
manure. A large handful of this in a
hill will set corn to growing finely
Flowers, too, grow and blossom far bet
ter in soil that has an admixture of
sand. So clayey and peaty soils are
benefitted by its combination with them,
and ric rersa. V hen spread on heavy
soils in grass, it produces more effect
than any chemical manure 1 have ever
seen used.
Ccriositiks of Graftixo. The Culti
vator is responsible for the following
description of a curiosity in the grafting
line, wnicn snows wnat can be done by
a careful poniologist: "We can graft
tne apricot on tne plum, and the peach
on the apricot, and the almond on the
peach, thus producing a tree with plum
roots and almond leaves. The wood of
the stem will consist of four distinct
varieties, though formed of onecontinu-
ous layer. Below the almond wood and
bark we shall have perfect peach wood
and bark, and at the bottom perfect
plum wood and bark. In this curious
instance we see the intimate corres
pondence between the bark and the leaf,
for if we should remove the almond
branches, we might cause the several
sorts of wood to develop buds and leafy
twigs, each of its own kind. Each sec
tion of the compound stem has its seat

cambium of each reproduces cells of its
own species out of a common nutrient

A Floating Flower iJeJ. G. F. Wilson
in The Garden gives his experience of a
float which he has successfully used in
the cultivation of bog and water plants,
and, says: The raft is 8 feet square
and consists of nine planks, connected
underneath by crosspieces, and having
about 2 inches open spaces between;
this was sunk by the weight of the pots
pans, and pieces ofjrock to 2 or 3 inches
under the surface. On the raft bog
plants in pots and water plants in pans
were placed, with the result that, with
no attention, they flourish as well as in
their natural homes. After a time,
when tbe wood has become saturated
with water, and its floating power thus
lessened, we nailed large pieces of cork
underneath the raft; this enabled it to
carry a heavy load. The plants now
throwing on the raft number twenty,
and were chosen as representative
plants. There are the North American
pitcher plant (sarixuenia purpurea), taxi-
fraga palntata, buck beans, violets (nin-
guicula rulijarit), grass or l arnassus,
several sorts of minulus the spotted
minulus overgrows its pan, with foot
roots in the water is most beautiful
lolielia cardinalis, bog myrtle, a large
variety of yellow iris, and North Ameri
can lady's slipper (cypripnlium ipecta
bile). It Is obvious that, while the raft
floats between 2 inches and 3 inches
under water, each pan or pot may be
adjusted according to the requirement
of its inhabitant; thusa water plant is
sunk to the full depth, while a plant
requiring only moist soil is raised up by
a piece of wood placed under its pot.
Probably a still more ornamental form
would be a round raft of wood with
cork or wood fastened with copper nails
to form sides, the bottom to have only
small holes all over to admit the water;
there might be cross division tor differ
ent mixtures of soil suitable for the
various plants, made not deep enough
to show above the surface; in this case
one whole raft would be covered with
soil, and all woodwork, except the
sides hidden.
Self-ririsection. It is not often that

cure such injuries in a few hours.
Deliberately dipping a sponge into
boiling water, the Doctor squeezed it
over his right wrist, producing a severe
scald around his arm and two inches in
width. Then, despite the suffering oc
casioned, he applied the scalding water
to bis wrist for half a minute. Bicar
bonate of soda was at once dusted over
the surface, a w et cloth applied, and the
pain, the experimenter stated, was al
most instantly deadened. Although

flood Talker.
A persistent talker is a good conver-
saiionalist. The very word conversa- i
lion defines it meaning; it is an inter
change. The man who insists on talking
to you is a bore. The English defin
ition of a bore betrays the nation's
great weakness in this regard: A
bore is one who insists on talking to
you about himself, when you want to
be talking about yourself." Xeither is
the confirmed gossip a good conversa
tionalist, for conversation suggests dis
course about things rather than people.
Here is another bane of social inter
changes. They are too often on the
lower level of that talk which finds its
subject matter in person. That is gos
sip. People who do not read or think
must largely make people and neighbor
hood events the etaple of their talk,
but the bad habit obtains even among
those who by culture have been fitted
to make better use of their tongues.
Gossip does not always indicate ignor
ance. It is to be feared it has become a
fashion into which even intelligent peo
ple are drawn. But this kind of talk is
neither edifying nor wise. If there
were no worse results, it narrows the
the mind to shut up its views to neigh
borhood details. There is no excuse
for it now. The world's gates all stand
open, llie papers bring all lands,
all governments, all rising ideas.
to our very do5rs. Books lead us into
the liberty of the world, and the best of
its doing and thinking. A growing
vice in conversation is a fondness for
smartness. Tartness, repartee, and
satire are very good for an occasional
seasoning; but, like horse radish and
mustard, they make a very poor dinner.
People with this propensity of saying
grinding things have a terrible power;
you go away from them with the feel
ing that the world is stuffed with saw
dust that you yourself are ad imbecile
and an impostor. It may take ten days
for you to recover your projier standing
with yourself. Then, if you ask vour
soul what fatal gift has the tormentor,
which carries with it this fatal power
of making its fellow mortals miserable,
you discover thai it is the gift of self
ishness. The person to whom you have
been talking is ungenerous. A generous
man or a generous woman you cannot
come near such an one without receiv
ing something that makes amends for
your own disappointment, your opin
ion of yourself. An ungenerous per

Pkeskrvmo Smoked Meats is Sum
mer. The very best way we know Is to
wrap the meat in thick brown paper
and enclose each piece separately in
sacks made to tit. bew tight; dip them
in a preparation of slacked lime, of the
consistency of ordinary paint. Then
the pieces may be packed in barrels,
with plenty of ashes, or better, pounded
charcoal, and kept in a cool, well-ventilated
cellar, or the coolest place in tbe
barn. Another plan is to wrap in paper
as before directed, then in an outer
layer and pack in barrels with some
good absorbent. Still another plan is,
after wrapping in thick brown paper,
to pack ia barrels with plenty of dry
cut straw examining them occasionally
to see that they do not mould, if the
weather is damp for any considerable
length of time. By this plan, however,
it is difficult to keep the meat from con
tracting mould if entirely excluded
from light and air; and where light
and air may enter, insects and mould
are pretty sure to follow. Western

she sniffed a proposal. She determined
to assist the young man.

"There ain't nothing the matter."

"You appear so restless," she ex

"It ain't on my mind," observed
George; "It's " and then he suddenly
caught himself, and stopped.
"What is it where is it. dear?" en
treated the young miss; "won't you tell
your darling?"
"It's on my back," blurted George,
with an effort.
"On your back?" repeated the young
miss, in astonishment.
"Yes," said George, desperately ; 'it's
a porous plaster, and it itches so I can't
keep still."
The young lady fainted.

This Azencv bus a world-wide fame,
It has earned and enjoyed this honor
for nearly the liie-time ol a generation.
It has secured and long enjoyed the
confidence of the newspaper press oi
the land. Mr. S. M. Peltengill, the
head, has long been eminent for tact.
talent, urbaulty, ana mgfi Dusinesa
honor. In advertising he has expended
to the benefit of advertisers over twelve
millions of dollars, and has largely as
listed in making the fortunes of a large
number of his customers. lie is Agent
for more than 7,000 newspapers. Pet
tenglll's Agency, with branches in Bos
ton and Philadelphia, is the largest
Advertising Agency In the world, and
the oldest in this country. It offers
special inducements to business men
who wish to advertise. Advertising
has become a positive necessity to suc
cess. A man out of business for three
years, and who comes back, could no
more do business in the old style than
a last year's chicken could get back
Into its shell. Judicious advertisers
make large fortunes, if they have a good
article, and know how to trade. Men
who build np a great business, must do
it through the press. A business man
can go into Pettengill's fine rooms, con
sult with the influential press of the
land, make satisfactory terms with
prominent papers, decide tiie manner
in which advertisements shall be print
ed, close a contract with publishers in
all the cities of the Union, from Bangor
to San Francisco, from St. Paul to New
Orleans, and do it actually cheaper,
without leaving tbe office, than he could
if he should vi.-it each of the cities in
person, Practical knowledge is needed
to advertise successfully. This comes
anly from long and successful experi
ence. The best and most appropriate
mediums mut be selected. The matter
must be disj ltyed propvrly. Men must
know what amount ol money to lay out
in advertising, know wheu to lavish
and when to contract. Just here, the
valve of the Agency comes in. Men
who oiler their services to conduct ad
vertising for a house, to be of any use,
must po-sess talent, ability, and prob
ity. Mr. Peltengill is a practical
printer. He knows all about news
papers, lie has proved himself one of
the most successful advertisers of the
age. By fair, honorable, and liberal
dealings, he has won the confidence of
the pres everywhere. He is prompt
iu his payments, perfectly responsible,
makes large contracts, and can make
better terms with the paers than an
individual can do. Publishers know
that his check is ready for any amount
of space he con facts lor. He can select
for advertisers the papers best suited to
their trade. He can guide iu regard to
the setting-up of tiie matter, and see
that the advertisement has the best lo
cation. All his great facilities are
placed at the dispo-al of his customers
without charge. Pettengill's Agency
is centrally hxated, being opposite the
new L S. Post Ollice. 37 Park Row,
N. Y.; 10 State Street, Boston; and
701 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The
business is done on a ierfcct system.

It is liar.liv wort I
the w eaklies of thi'
w hiie to point out

no doubt that a man can ! cured of
sea-sickness by freezing himself to
death; but to assume that hi spinal

sickness than hi hat-bau.I is to make a
purely unwarranted assumption. What
evidence i there that the spinal cord i
stretched? None w hatever. The -Lunar!
I of a sea-sick lii iu is in ojieii. undis
guised in-urrec!iou, but his spinal cord
never show the . a-f interest in the
affair and maintains a strict neutrality.
This attempt to cast omuiii upon one of
the modest and retiring parts of the
human ImhIv is indelicate and unfair,
ami should Ire frowu-d down bv every
unprejudiced man.
But we have at last an entirely new
theory, which explain ea-ickiies in
an intelligent way. The chief symptom
of the diese are Ilea l-ai lie, nausea,
lassitude, loss of spirits ami coldness ol
extremities. These also are precisely
the symptoms which indicate malarial
poisoning. Let us suppose that there
is a poisonous quality in sea air, and we
shall then readily comprehend the true
nature of ea sickness. If we further
suppose that the system really becomes
acclimated, so to sM-ak. and loses its
susceptibility to this iioisoii, we shall
understand why crsoii who are much
at sea cease fo be ca-;t k. That the
atmosphere, in pursuance of its daily
task of evaporating sea water, should
take up one or more of llie.-e ingredients
which render sea w ater an emetic w hen
drunk in any quantity is not at all im
probable. Thus, by merely making a
levy easy supsi.-itions we have a new,
plausible, and really scientific theory
of sea-sickness. .V" Yrk 7V.iic.

Four hundred and thirty-five miles
west of Omaha is situated the great
Prairie-Dog City, one of the largest
settlements on the line of the Union
Pacific Railroad. Several hundred
acres, each side of the track, have been
taken up by the sagacious little prairie
dogs, and there they have made their
homes, without buying one lot from the
company, or as much as saying, "By
your leave." The dwellings consist of
little mounds, from a foot to eighteen
inches in height, raised by the uiri ex
cavated bv their burrows. On the ap
proach of a train the little inhabitants

homes. Arrived there they squat upon
their hams or stand upon their hind
feet at the entrance a hole In the top

Should any one venture too near, down
they go, and thlr city Is as silent as the
"city of the dead." It is said that the
opening in the top leads to subter

next dwelling, and so on through the
iu.tr icmont- hut this is a mistake. The

and about the size of a large grey
squirrel. In their nests, living with
them, is found the owl and the rattle

roots, and is generally fat, and Is by
some, Mexicans especially, considered
good eating, as his flesh is sweet and
tender, though rather greasy. Wolves

seen sneaking near the town, hoping,
by chance, to pick up some straggler.
But the dogs are not easily caught
