The burden of the sea and land.

His gift in need, though small indeed
As the grass-blades wind-blown seed.
Is large as earth and rich as heaven.
The President's Staff
The large Amount of clerical and ofll
vial work done at tbe Executive man
sion requires the services of about a
dozen men. President Hayes bas a
larger personal staff than has been
maintained by any of his predecessors.
Tbe man who stands nearest to him Is
Mr. W. K. Kogers, who holds the offi
cial position of private secretary to tbe
lresident, with a salary of $3,250 a year.
Mr. Koger occupies the large room
adjacent to the President's room, on tbe
side opposite to the library and imme
diately over the southern end of the
east room, all tbe offices being in the
second story of the Executive mansion.
Mr. I'rudtn, the assistant secretary,
wbo receives a salary of $2,250, Is a man
of considerable experience, wbo holds
over from tbe last administration. He
bas charge of most of tbe details of
records and the general work of the
office. The law also provides for two
executive clerks at $2,000 each, which
positions are held by Mr. W. H. Crook
and Mr. W. C. Chapman, both of whom
were there in Grant's time. There are
several other clerks who are employed
under a practice by which the President
details men from the departments for
special work at the White House.
Private Secretary Rogers has a short
hand amanuensis, Mr. Henley, who is
borne on the roils of the Interior de
partment. The President'ssteuograph
er, Mr. Gustin, is borne on the rolls of
tbe Post Office Department as private
secretary to the Postmaster General.
Another clerk for general work, Mr.
Price, is borne on the rolls of the Pay
master General's office. Mr. Moreton,
wbo cuts up the newspapers and keeps
the scrap-books for the President, is
detailed from the Congressional Li brary
In addition to these clerks there are five
messengers, who are detailed from what
is known as " the general service force"
of the War Department. Two ushers
are carried on the .rolls of the local
police force. The steward of the
White Honse is provided for by law
and receives a salary of $1,800. Besides
all his clerks the President has tbe con
stant service of one of bis sons, wbo is
a good worker. Tbe duties of the
Private Secretary are cot very onerous,
lie is much sought by people who think
that he has influence with the President
and many office-seekers pour their
stories into his ears rather than wait to
have an interview with the President.
It is probable, however, that none of
the President's assistants have very
much influence over his mind. They
are, however, frequently able to obtain
places in the departments for their
friends
Tbe President of the United States,
during a session of Congress, can never
find much time to spend in reading
new.-papers. The White Houso is liber
ally supplied with newspapers, only i
few ef which are kept on file. Presi
dent Grant used to have one of his secre
taries cut out the leading editorials on
political topics in the New York daily
papers, and occasionally from papers
published in other cities, which cuttings
were banded to him in a bunch, for his
perusal late in the afternoon or in the
evening. Mr. Hayes dues not follow
this system; or, rather, he bas mated
ally modified iu It it the duty of one
of tbe clerks of the White House to take
charge of all the newspapers received
Enough of them to fill a bushel basket
are received every day. Many of them
are unimportant. Tbe newspaper clerk
cuts from most of the influential papers
such editorial and other matter as be
thinks of interest to the President,
wmcn ne alter warns pastes in scrap-
books, of which a series U kept. Tbe
President, from time to time, runs over
these scrapbooks and sees what tbe
newspapers of the country are saying
about hiui and his administration
The Willow and iU t in.
the manufacture or willow ware
goods in the United States, says a con
temporary, though a growing business,
is far from being as extensive as it ought
to be, but what, perhaps, is most to be
regretted is that more than two-thirds
of tbe material used is imported from
Europe at an annual cost of $5,000,000,
The demand for willow is a constantly
increasing one, and it is'so easily culti
vated that it would appear as though it
particularly recommended itself to far
mers living on bottom lands. Few
crops are more cheaply raised, it re
quires no weeding, and willow once
cut sprouts immediately from the stump
in many places. The better class of
basket willow, however, is only success
fully produced with careful cultivation
on a rich, well drained soil. Under
such conditions it is a profitable crop,
capable of netting at least $150 a year to
the acre, and certainly it is well worth
the attention of our farmers.
Why, for instance, should not boys
and young men, who live where there
is wet or swampy land, strike out and
plant willow plantations f The trial
costs but little, and, as the willow Is a
rapid growing tree, the results are soon
evident. Preparing the shoots for sale
can neither be very difficult nor require
much time. Surely there are other ways
for farm boys to make money beside
raising hay, corn, oats and potatoes. It
would be nearly impossible to enumer
ate the articles manufactured from the
willow twig. As it is, it is estimated
that 5,000 different articles are construc
ted from its shoots the manufacture of
chairs, sofas and baskets being tbe most
common use to which they are put by
the Xew England manufacturers at
least. Tbe demand for willow furniture
especially for summer residences, is
steadily on tbe increase, and, as they
are so light, so easily transported from
place to place, and withal so strong and
comfortable, they are likely to have a
yet greater patronage every year.
In Europe, the timber of a certain
kind of willow is used for many pur
poses. It is sawn Into boards for floor
ing and into scantlings for rafters.
Wherever lightness, pliancy, elasticity
and toughness are required, willow
wood is peculiarly adapted; hence it
is in request for paddle wheel floats and
for shrouding water wheels. It is used
in lining carts for conveying stove and
other heavy materials, as it does not
splint, and the same quality renders
it fit for guard posts or fenders. Turners
and tray makers find many uses for
willow wood, and it is employed in
making shoe lasts, light ladders and the
handles of light agricultural implements
Its incombustibility is so great that It is
peculiarly suited for the flooring of
buildings intended to be fireproof.
it is said the willow Is not Indigenous
to either Europe or America, but seems
if tradition may be relied upon, to have
been accidentally introduced into both
countries. The poet Tope Is credited
with having raised tbe first willow in
Englaud, from a slip sent him from
Constantinople by Lady Mary Wortley.
And It is claimed that, nearly two hun
dred years ago, a gentlemen in Xew
York, received a package from Babylon
which contained a living shoot. This
he planted; It grew and flourished, and
and in two years became quit a tree.
It was the first willow seen in America.
The willow leaf bears a strong resem
blance to the olive, both being lanceolate
they are both, too, long lived trees;
but, while the olive is peculiarly a
Southern tree, the willow flourishes in
all climates, being found even inside
the Frigid Zone, where, of course, it is
only a mere shrub.
Ice Making.
It would seem as if Jack Frost would
have to look to his laurels in the way
of iceraaUng if all tbe claims of those
who have invented machines to make
ice artificially are allowed. Ono of the
latest, and it is claimed the best ice
making machine is an English inven
tion. In this machine the refrigerating
aent employed is ammonia. There are
three essential points on which the
efficacy of a refrigerating agent depend
viz., first, the temperature at which
it evaporates; second, the tension of its
vapor in equal temperatures; third, the
amount of heat it is capable of absor
bing and making latent. Iu each of
these poiuts, the inventor says, ammon
ia is incomparably superior to either
sulphurous acid or ether.
Ammonia has an advantage of 123 de
grees of temperature over ether, 43 over
sulphurous acid. The tension of the
vapors of each at ISO degrees Fahr. is ;
Ether, 35 inches; sulphurous acid,
120 inches; ammonia 45 J inches. The
latent beat of each, iu beat units is as
follows : Ether 102 8 degrees ; sulphur
ous acid about 172 degrees; ammonia,
900 degrees. Ammonia has thus the ad
vantage of more than 700 heat unit-
over each of the other agents, and bas
not any of the dangerous inflammability
attached to the employment of ether,
and is very much cheaper. Neither
does ammonia decompose when exposed
to tbe air, nor chemically combine with
it. In tbe working of the ammonia
machine air is expelled by creating a
slight pressure after the ammonia is
put in, which drives all the air out. In
either an ether or sulphurous acid ma
chine it is necessary to first obtain a
vacnum in them, which is very often a
work of great difficulty. Air decompos
es both ether and sulphurous acid, and
as both these machines work with a
vacuum, it is impossible to keep all air
out.
But perhaps the most important and
interesting feature in this machine, it is
claimed, is the simplicity with which it
is w orked. It consists of four essential
parts a boiler containing a solution of
ammonia in water ; a distilling appara
tus for taking over the vapor of ammon
ia, which is liquified by its own pres
sure when pumped into a suiuble re
ceiver; a cooling cylinder containing a
coil of pipes, through which a solution
of chloride of calcium (lime; circulates,
which can be cooled down to as much
as fifty degrees below zero, still remain
ing fluid, and, lastly, a bath into which
this liquid passes, and which contaius
the pure water which is to be frozen
It will be seen that ammonia liquifies
by its own pressure bciug removed
ine action oi tne machine, it Is said, is
also automatic aud continuous, and no
motive power is required beyond that
which insufficient to work a small pump
for keeping the liquids in circulation
1 he ice is rendered clear as crystal by
the action of an apparatus which keeps
up slight but constant agitation in the
water during the formation of ice, thus
dissipating the air. It is claimed that
this machine will produce ten tons of
clear ice in twenty-lour hours, at a cost
in England of five shillings ($1.25) a ton
If this is so, then the days of tbe old
fashioned ice business are numbered.
A cooling machine for breweries is also
made on tbe same patent. This machine
is to be introduced into this country.

Lecturers.
The fees of prominent lecturers, ac
cording to the American Literary
Bnreau, are as follows: Gougb, $250;

Perkins, $100; Phillips, $200; Scott-
Slddons,$150; Bret Harte, $125; Bayard
Taylor, $125. Reductions are, however,
made from these figures for small towns.
Beecher Is wortn $300 simply because
he will draw that amount. Gough will
draw $200, Anna Dickinson will draw
$125, Mark Twain will diaw $150, Eli
Perkins will draw $125, and Mrs. Scott-
Slddons is worth $150. Kellers are not

AGRICULTURE.
Pbuxixo Fkcit Tkkks. This is work
that may be done any time during win
ter, and thus not interfere with spring
work. When very large limbs are to
be cut off it is best done in summer, but
most pruning can be done at any time.
Generally, too little attention is given
to fruit trees, as any one may see who
will notice tbe orchards. Though gen
erally producing good crops, trees are
allowed to run almost wild, limbs are
so close together, as to rub against each
other and keep the fruit shaded. The
first object la pruning is to thin out the
branches so that sunlight may reach
the fruit. Leave the tops of trees as
open as possible, without cutting off too
much wood. Apples and pears will
bear considerable pruning, but peaches,
apricots and cherries should be cut as
little as possible. Always remove bro
ken or diseased branches, but with the
last named kinds cut as little around
the trunks as possible. Trees should
be pruned every year, and then it will
seldom be necessary to cut off very
large limbs. Tbe vigorous shoots
often growing five or ten feet in a sea
sonon apple and pear trees, should be
removed every year, if not taken off
they get most of the sap from the tree,
depriving the fruit buds of their proper
supply. Bear in mind that apples are
borne on wood two years old; peaches,
apricots and cherries on wood one year
old. Where limbs of any size are cut
off In winter, the wound should be
covered with a thin paste, made bv dis
solving gum arable in alcohol. This
will protect the wood from being soaked
by water, wnicn nilgnt produce decay,
Th. National Timber Law. The
requirements of an act of Congress
giving laud to settlers who should plant
a certain proportion in timber, have
been modified by an amendment re
ducing the number of acres to be
planted, rue original' law required
that forty acres should be planted to
entitle the settler to a quarter section.
The amount was so great that the law
was Inoperative, and bas been amended
as follows: "Every person who plants,
protects, and keeps in a healthy grow
ing condition for ten years, ten acres
of timber, the trees thereon not oelng
more than four teet apart each way, ou
any quarter section ot any of the public
lauds, shall be entitled to a patent for
the whole of such quarter section, at
the expiration of ten years, on making
proof of such fact by not less titan two
credible witnesses; provided, that only
one quarter in any section shall be thus
granted." This would require tne
ulantiug of 2o,000 trees. W ittiin ten
years these would need thinning, and

The Cost of Fkxctno. The fences in
the United States are reported to be
worth $1,800,000,000, or $45 per head
for each inhabitant. The expenses ne
cessary to keep them good is at least
$100,000,000. Major Brisbane, of tbe
United States Army, estimates the an
nual destruction of timber in the
United States at $5,500,000 acres, and
that one-haif this immense area is re
quired for fencing alone. However
true this statement may be, and we can
not help regarding It as a wild state
ment, it la nevertheless true that
fencing is one of the most expensive
items the farmer bas to deal with. Tbe
increasing scarcity of timber in the
est has caused the total aDolishment
of fences over large areas. Barbed
wire, in its various lorms for fencing,
now constitutes an Immense and cou
stantly increasing business. It seems
to be the best substitute yet found for
either post-and-rail or board lenccs.
In thk United States the harvests for
the year are on the whole eminently
satisfactory. Thus our yield of wheat,
which in 1S76 was 250,000.000 bushels,
rose last season to 325,000,000. The
quantity of corn is computed at 1,300,
000,000 bushels of corn, representing
a gain of about 40,000,000 bushels. In
view of all the , acts here stated, there
is no doubt the foreign demand for our
productions will exhibit a large in
crease during the the next five or six
months, and that the existing situation
is peculiarly favorable to the American
agriculturist.
Thk manner of milking exerts a
powerful influence on the productive
ness ot the cow. A slow and care-ess
milker, or one whose treatment is harsh,
will soon dry up the best of cows. The
animal must be approached gently,
never struck or abused, while the
operation of milking should begin
gradually, steadily increasing in ra
pidity until all is drawn. If tbe milk
ing is performed in the stall it is a good
plan to feed at tbe same time with roots
or bay.
Regilab feeding, even if not gener
ous, is better than food given in excess
for a few uay, and then stinted, or food
given plentifully, but at irregular
periods. Animals do not thrive unless
perfectly contented, and never per
mitted to get hungry. Tbe same hours
for feeding should be kept regularly
throughout the whole season.

A Brilliant Reception.
The most brilliant and seccessful im
postor known in Europe was the Italian
whose assumed name was Count Cag
liostro. He died in prison in 17S7,
being then In his fifty second year,
after a career of varied imposture, such
as seems vastly more like romance than
most of the creations of the novelist.
His forte was to surround himself with
mystery, and having the aid of a con
federate, he assumed such characters
as were best adapted to the occasion.
He was at one time a nobleman, and at
another a naturalist. His next appear
ance might be In the guise of an extra
ordinary physician or a necromancer.
The entire role of social life was ex
hausted by this wonderful deceiver,
who included Greece, Egypt, Turkey
and Arabia in his range of travel. At
Medina be was a ' distinguished mufti,"
and became a great favorite with the
highest powers. He visited tbe Grand
Ma ter of the Knights of Malta, and the
latter was so impressed with the dignity
and accomplishments of the Count that
he gave him letters of recommendation
to the nobility of Europe. In Italy bis
success in this career of swindling was
extraordinary. As alchemist, sorcerer
and spiritualist, he claimed power not
only over the "occult sciences," but
also called up the spirits of the departed
and held communion with the dead.
He invented an elixir that insured per
petual life, and which, to the women,
added unfading beauty. As a matter
of course its sale was immense, and the
inventor never remained long enough
In place to test its merits. He called
himself 200 years old and ascribed his
youthful appearance to the use of this
wonderful preparation, which had set
death himself at defiance.

SCIENTIFIC.
Huxley on Technical Education. Re
cently Prof. Huxley delivered a lecture
In London on the subject, "Technical
Education." For many years be said,
he bad practiced form of industry
which required a very considerable
amount of those qualities which were
requisite to make a successful practi
oner. His particular handicraft was
anatomy, and probably that needed as
much delicacy of hand and accuracy of
eye as any of the pursuits that were fol
lowed by his audience. If the most
skilled watchmaker among them were
to come to bis workshop or laboratory,
and bring a watch to be put together as
a job for him. and if he (Prof. Huxley)
were to set him, iu return, to dissect
the nervous system of a black beetle he
fancied the chances would be that he
(the Professor) would have done bis
work to the satisfaction of the watch
maker before the watchmaker bad per
formed his task to his. To those who
would like to learn his business of an
anatomist, it was necessary tbat they
should have a good aud sound know
ledge of the elements of physical science,
that was to say, of the properties and
characters of natural objects, with a
knowlege of drawing and of foreign
languages, and, above all, that vigor
and elasticity of mind which were the
special properties ol youth, as men who
were ageiug now kuew to their cost
he meant that power of looking at
things in different ways, without hav
ing bad their freshness aud vigor
washed out of them by the sort of in
tellectual debauchery which was to be
found in tbe present day in the incessant
grinding for examinations. Young
people were made to use their brains
before they were properly set, and so
by the time that the straiu and pressure
of life came upon them the spring of
tneirlntellectual faculties had goue. It
had been said of early risers, that they
were conceited all the morning and
stupid all the afternoon. Whether that
was true he did uot know, but it was
certainly iu bis experience that students
who were made to rise too early intel
lectually to get too early at the topsol
their classes were apt to be conceited
aud stupid as has been described. It
was neevssary before a youth took to
any particular business to ascertain
what were the talents he possessed, and
whether he bad a natural aptitude for
which he was about to follow. The
great system of universal education now
established in this country must be re
garded as one if not, the one of the
greatest events of the century, as cer
tainly it was one of t.ie meat important
of "British interests" to be conserved,
it would put down, as it were, the
Bashi liazouks of ignorance en the one
hand, and the Cossacks ot sectarianism
on the other. The method of teaching
adopted at the present time, compared
to what it was 40 years ago, was really
marvelous, and now the very poorest
child obtained that knowledge for a
mere trifle which the middle classes had
to pay dearly for years ago. Tbe pre
sent state ot things afforded a nucleus
out of which a satisfactory system of
technical education could develop itself.
The Government of the country were
doing possibly as much as it were ex
pedient they should do, but he thought
that, were action was incomplete, pri
vate help or the aid of the great corpo
rate bodies of the country should be
given. The talents of youths of real
genius should be fostered for tbe benefit
of mankind at large, irrespective or any
monetary cost. Men like Faraday,
Davy, or Watt were not to be estimated
by the value of moiiev. A system ol
small and insignificant exhibitions
would do much to inculcate aud improve
love of science.
PhoUigraphic Lenta. A writer in one
of the British journals of photgraphy
says tbat to obtain superior represen
tations of machinery a specialty of so
much importance in the present con
duct of trade a good selection of lenses
is, iu the first place, of prime necessity.
The size of the picture required is gen
erally fixed upon beforehand, and, as
the standpoint is often of limited area,
if not absolutely fixed, there are not
afforded, ia this class of work, the
opportunities that landscapists enjoy in
the selection of their point of view.
The lenses, therefore, in this case,
should be chosen fer their focus, and
not from their being wide or narrow
angled, quick or slow ; the latter quali
ties are, of course, to govern the artist
in deciding, but focus of the various
lenses should so rise, step by step, tbat,
wherever the point of view may be
chosen or fixed upon, one lens may be
found among the series which will take
the picture the required size; and, the
lens being selected, the diaphratn used
should be the largest which it is pos
sible to employ with the aid of a swing-
back.
The Oyster's Knemie.
As we pass another line of stakes
marking the boundary of private prop
erty the dredge Is cast aain. Lay your
hand on the rope; the water is three
fathoms deep, yet you can feci the mul
titude of oysters rolling in between the
dredge's iron jaws. Haul in ! A cable's
length away, a bottom quite as good as
th's would have yielded nothing of
value. Here the dredge comes up loaded
with oysters, the most of them ranging
In size from a silver quarter to a half-
dollar piace. They are now in their
second year, a few in clusters of two or
three, but the majority single, and all
showing the rounded outline which de
lights the oyster-lover. Here and there
in the pile is a gaping shell, some with
one valve shorter than the other, some
with a pin bole through the purple spot
where the muscle was attached. The
former have been killed by star-fish,
the latter by drills, innocent-looking
creatures both of them, but dreadfully
destructive to oysters. Fortunately, the
drills confine their attacks to tbe young
broods when thinning out is not so in
jurious. The stars kill at all ages. Some
times they come up from deep water in
swarms as countless as Colorado grass
hoppers, and ravage an oyster planta
tion as relentlessly as the latter do
the wheat fields of tbe border. Now
Sharpie is engaged in replanting a large
tract which the stars invaded last
spring, when the only oysters saved
were those that were hastily removed in
advance of the destroying host. By
such attacks a man may lose his entire
fortune before tbe danger is suspected,
and at all times it is only by constant
watchfulness and persistent dredging
that these pests are kept within tolera
ble limits.
In course of time, when the number
of oyster farmers is largely increased,
it may be possible by united effort and
tbe maintenance of a special police
working steam-dredges to keep the stars
under control, if not to exterminate
them from tbe waters; but for many
years they are likely to remain the chief
source of annoyance and loss to this im
portant branch of industry. Xow and
then a boring whelk or a winkle will
kill an old .oyster, or a boring sponge
riddle a shell and divert its owner's
strength to the work of maintaining the
integrity of its pearly coat; now anl
then a violent storm will bury an
oyster-bed under a smothering mass of
weeds or mud; or, if in shallow water,
will roll the crop ashore, or crush it to
death with drifted ice; but these are
occasional and minor evils, compared
with the ceaseless depredations of tbe
stars.
DOMESTIC.
KrrcHKf Economy. It bas come to
be a generally accepted proposition tbat
the kitchen lies at the root of all domes
tic comfort. Imperfect digestion has
something to do directly or indirectly
with most human diseases, and badly
cooked food is a fruitful source of ill
temper. Xot long since one of our
illustrated weeklies gave the picture of
the terrible Frypan Amerieanut, a gfgan
tic frying-pan mounted on spider legs,
which, said the legend, slay more
Amcricaus than war, pestilence or
famine; while around it lay the dead
and dying. Half risen bread, more or
less soured, and meat soaked in grease,
and fried to the consistency of leather,
washed down by copious draughts of
something hot, strong a id black, and
which professes to be coffee, forms the
morning meal of most of our well-to do
working classes. It is a common saying
that a French family cm live comforta
bly on the waste from an average
American kitchen. A single slice of
the meat whose nutritious properties
are ruthlessly destroyed in the frying
pan will flavor the pot au-feu which
forms the staple of most French family
dinners, and foreigners shudder at our
reckless waste of fruit and vegetables.
Still we are awaking to tbe science of
food, and cooking Is hwcouiing a popular
accomplishment. We are learning that
nature is the best physician, that pure
air, purs water and healthy food pre
vent disease uio-e effectually that many
doctors can cure it after it bas once
fastened itself on the system. Well
cooked, juicy meats to furnish carbon
in cold weather; cooling fruits and
vegetables for the dog-days; fish and
oatmeal for brainworkersand for grow
ing children these are the fundamental
principles of the new doctrines; and
schools for training in cookery have
been established in America as well as
in England. The French system of try
ing immenses the croquette or ball to
be fried entirely In boiling fat drip
pings or lard. This fat alter using is
clarified by again beating to the boiling
point and immersing therein a slice of
burnt bread, which absorbs all impuri
ties from the fat, after which it may
again be used, and thus all waste is
obviated. That "greatest plague of our
lives," the averag icook, is i ot friendly
to reforms, and many mistresses prefer
to leave her alone, rather than to lollow
her up and standing over her to see
that her work is well done. To manage
her and to train her successfully requires
knowledge and tact on tbe part ol the
mistress, and the cook with a little
knowledge s a worse subject for such
teaching than one who begins with no
knowledge at all. But worst of ail is
the "professed cook," who brooks no
interference, no inquiry Into her
methods or her managements, and under
whose sway the provision and grocery
bills rise mouutains high, while the
mispress of the house dares not enter
tbe kitchen nor pantry. In most families
it is utterly impossible that the mistress
of the household should be also the
cook; but this should not be from
ignorance, and she should at least be
able to direct and should always give
her own orders seeing that the family
are fed with food convenient for them,
that the kitchen is clean and the provi
sions not ruined iu the cooking.

crocheted cotton bag, 1 will give a de
scription of an ancient work-bag which

"Oh, ye," said he, languidly, "trot her

and when he was presented, she ad
justed her eye-glasses deliberately and
slowly scanned his clothin from boot
to collar. The survey finished, she
waved her baud and carelessly said:
''Trot him back, 1 have seen all there is

Ghost hi Washington.
Haunted houses are plentiful in
Washington. There is a domicile in
Four-and a half street, where, in the
evening twilight, before the gas is light
ed, a newspaper is heard to rattle in an
alcove designed for a bell. Investiga
tion of the apartment develops the fact
that there is no person there to rattle
the paper. The doubter may suggest
rats, but tbe solemn assurance is given
that there is no paper there to be rattled
nor any possible thing that could resem
ble the noise of folding a newspaper
no paper of any kind that could be rat
tled or folded. Of course people will
be found to scoff at the ghost of a news
paper; but, perhaps, if told of the inex
cusable death of a lady, the wife of a
literary man, in that house some years
ago, they might change their opinion.
There is another haunted house on Xew
Jersey avenue, which no tenant can be
got to occupy. An effort has been made
for some time to get up a party of bold
spirits to sit up in it all night, which I
was invited to join, but declined because
I am not one of that kind. The Xew
Jersey avenue ghost is known to hold
some sort of relationship to a gentle
man and lady who lived there several
years ago. One day it was given out
that she had gone to Xew York, and
shortly afterward he picked up his carpet-bag
and went away, since which
time neither of them has ever been seen.
Xow, at 11 o'clock at night, a carriage

bell rings without any visible cause,
the door is beard to open and close, and
after that the most pitiful sounds, as of
a female voice begging for mercy and
crying out that she was not prepared
to die, are heard, but there is no pity

A Dswswrows Present.
The Czar sent tne Shah of Persia a
Krupp gun. The present was landed
at Enzili, on the Caspian Sea, but it
took a month's labor by a regiment of
the Persian army to g-t the cannon to
Teheran. Arrived there, a day was
appointed to fire it. The court and al
most the entire population of the city
assembled. Bang! went the cannon,
away scampered half the multitude, and
down tumbled the minaret off one of
the city gates, near which the gun had
been placed. But there was another
disaster. In an hour's time a messen
ger arrived from a village five miles
away, and reported that its inhabitants
were bewailing the loss of their mosque.
The cannon ball from the cannon had
struck the building and ruined it. The
Shah was so dismayed by the effect that
he never permitted the cannon to be
fired off again.
An ejccellent cement for foot-walks may
be made by mixing enough of Portland
cement or good hydraulic lime in a
warm solution of glue to make a thick

when it is warm. Walks made of it are
very durable, and keep in good con
dition underexposure to great changes
of temperature. This cement is useful
also for uniting portions of fountains,
