Sam Ward, afterward the king of the lobby la Washington, was, when yonng nun, the leading galiant ol . New York City. He soon made a conquest of Misu Astor, the danghter of the then greatest millionaire on the continent, and married her. Mrs. Ward died very boob after marriage, and Sam again ap peared upon the town in the role of a yonng. gay, and rich widower. At this time the greatest beauty of the Sonth, perhaps of the whole continent, Sledora Grymes, made her debnt in New Yorfc society. The figure, neck and arms of Medora Grymea were so faultlessly per fect that she was constantly bought for by artists and solicited by friends to have them copied, both on canvas and in marble. Her eyes were of a dark olive, as rare as it is beautiful men ap preciate it large, and when in repose had dreamy expression, which was probably owing to the unusual length of her eyelashes; the face was oval; ttio complexion a rich olive; the eyebrows somewhat heavy, but bo perfect iu their outlines and arch that none others would have seemed in keepiDg. Her head was of such a shape that she could - wear her hair in any style, and it was hard to tell whicu was the most becom ing. Sue sometimes appeared with it worn in antique Grecian fashion, sim ply brushed bask over her eurs an J braided in a simple ktot bshisd, tLie most trying Btjle iu which it can be worn. liut she was always the admira tion of the men. too often the envy of the women. A Creole l y birth, the danghter of the celebrated lawyer, John E. Grymes, of New Orleans, she inheri ted from him a tasta for study, and sue soon became mistress of the French. Spanish and Italian languages. At a later period of her life, while educating her sons in Germany, she acquired a knowledge of the language of that country. From 1 or mother ehe inheri ted a vivacity and liveliness of manner, united to a quickness of apprehension which was attracted by anything biz arre or humorous, and caused many a scintillation of wit, wuich, however pun gent, never wounded. Her niiuical education was carefully attended to, and she retained all her skill and pow ers during her whole life. Her voice was remarkably fine and proud as the undoubtedly was of her arm she made the study of the harp a specialty and often used it as an acsompauunent. It was not long before it was an nounced that Miss Grymes was engaged to a yonng Frenchman, bcariuz a ti'.ie, though a member of a wealthy house iu Faris, of which he was the representa tive in New York, and it was an accepted fact by the friends of both parties that such was the case. At this period S-im Ward appeared upon the boards, and soon became an acknowledged vassal of the peerless beauty. He set himself to work to win her. For his rival or his rival's rights he had no consideration. "All is fair," quoth Sim, "in love and war." It was not long before the easiest wooing of the handsome lover made it3 impression. The Frenchman was root, rather phlegmatic and more used to !; ing songht lor than to seek. He ma.le his advances iu a cool, business-like way, and considering the whole raatier arranged as he would have it, regarded it as unnecessary to give vent to any ar dent expressions of his aflectiou. S ua, meanwhile, was whiopericg soft flat teries into ears that drank in all their sweetness. Every morning, on rising, the first thing put into her hands w:is a bunch of violets accompanied by a uotc from her admirer. What these uct-a contained we can only imagine, buc "Uncle Sam" was always celebrated for his skill in getting up telling little let ters upon love matters, dinners, invita tions, business or otherwise. The end came, the engagement waa broken so was the Frenchman's heart. He went to France to die, and the fair Medora became the second wife of Samuel Ward, the ouce recognized "king of the j lODi'.y, ana peruaps ino mosi accom plished and popular man cf his day. - Only those who have put his friendship to the test know of his unfailing devo tion to his friends; no matter how dark the day or dull the path tbey might be traveling, Sam was always on hand with a cheering word and a kindly Emi'.e, and, if need be, something more sub stantial. Many a wreck has been saved, many a peril averted, and many a shat tered fortune radeemed by Sam Ward's generosity. Some years since, and dnriug the most dazzling period of the Eupire, Mrs. Ward went to Europe for the pur pose of educating her two sons. For a period in Faris the was a conspicuous feature of all the Court entertainments, and was an especial favorite "with both Napoleon III and Eagenie. While upon the eve of her departure for this coun try she suddenly sickened and, after a short illness, died. Taken altogether, she was probably the most brilliant woman of her age that America has ever produced. Refore 1'ena. The chisel was employed for inscrib ing on stone, wood or metal. It was so sharpened as to snit the material opera ted npon, and was dexterously handled by all early artists, ihe style, sharp pointed instrument ot metal, ivory, ot bone, was used for writing on wax tablets. The style was unsuitable for holding a fluid, hence a species of reed was employed tor writing on parch ments, ines: styles and reeds were carefully kept in cases, and the writers had a sponge, knife, and pumice stone, compasses for measuring, scissors for cutting, a puncheon to point ont the beginning and the end of each line, a rule to draw aud divide the lines into columns, a glass containing sand, and another with writing-fluid. These were the chief implements csed for centuries to register facts and events. Heeds continued to be used tdi the eighth century, though quills were known in the seventh. The earliest author who uses the word penna for a writing-pen is lsodoras, who lived in that century, and toward the end of it a T.atin sonnet, "To a Fen" was written by an Anglo Saxon. Bnt though quills were known at this period, they came into general use very slowly, for in 1443 a present of a bundle of quills was sent from Venice by a monk with a letter in which he says: "Show this bundle to Brother Nicholas, that he may choose quill." The only other material to which we refer is ink, the composition and colors of w hich were various. The black was made of burnt ivory and liquor of the cuttle fish. We are not prepare! to say what other ingredients were nsed or how it was manufactured, but these ancient manuscripts prove that the ink was of a superior description. Bed. purple, silver and gold inks were also nsed. The red was made from vermilion and carmine, the purple from murex, and the manufacture of these, especi ally with gold and silver varieties, was an extensive and lucrative . business. Ttie .Norwegians are a wonderfully lionest people. As we were driving along one day, we saw two umbrellas hanging on the branch of a tree. Some people not enring to be encumbered with them had left them there till they should pass that way again. Although it was raining, no one thought of touch ing them. An Engllish lady told us that going for a walk one day she found her fur-lined silk cloak too heavy, and remarked that she wished she had left It at home. "Take it off," said a Norwe gian friend who was with her, "and hang it on this tree." She did so, and n when she returned, two hoars later. ' mere n sun remained. HOUSEHOLD Making Matches Nearly all the operations of match . making are now carried oa by machinery. The wood i first snwed mta blocks ot uniform length, usually one and a half inches long, or the lenath of the match. Tuese blocks are tnen leu imo u cutuug machine, which cuts twelve matches at every stroke. To make round matches the w ood is forced uiorouguuerioianoua in metal plates. The splints are then pushed into slats arranged on a double chain 250 feet long. On this they are carried to the sulphur vat. dipped therein by a mechanical movement, and then in the sime manner to the phos phorus vat and dipped. Machines are also used for making the boxes and packing the splints therein. As the consumption of matches is most enor mous being estimated at six a day for every man. womaa and child in Eu rope and North America they form an Important article of comnierca, and the invention of machinery for their manufacture has proved of great advan tage. But the especial value of ma chinery is that it has so largely reduced the mortality caused by working over the phosphorus. This substance, when heated, throws off fumes which cannot be continuously breathed without cam ing disease. In lanre factories 144.1U0 small boxes of matches are often made and packed ready for shipping in a single day. To Clean Glass and Silveb Ware. Egg-shells crushed Into siuail bits and shaken well in decanters three parts filled with cold w ater will not only clean them thoroughly, but make the glass look like new. By rubbing with a damp flannel dipped in the best whit ing, the brown discoloration may be ta ken off cups in which custards have been baked. Again, are all of usaware that emery jKnvder will rernoveordinaiy staics from the white ivory knife han dles, or that the lustre of morocco is re stored by varnishing with white of an egg? Nothing, it is said, is better to clean silver with than alcohol or ammo nia, fiinishidg with a little whiting 01 a soft cloth. When putting away the silver tea or coffee pot which is not iu use everyday, lay a little stick across the top under the cover. This will al low fresh air to get in, and prevent the mustiness of the contents familiar to hotel aud hoarding house sufferers. A very convenient and pretty work basket may be made of two peach I as keia. The baskets are firmly glued U gether, bottom to bottom, somewhat iu the shape of an hour glass. Then the entire structure is covered witii sateen cf any desired color, laid in full plaits, tacked at top and bottom, and at the point of union of the baskets. The top basket is lined with sateen. A piece of heavy pasteboard cut round and smootly covered with sateen fits in snugly, covering the tottoui ana mat ing a neat finish. Full pockets are sewed in below the top of the basket, The outer rim has a deep lace flouuee. headed bv box-plaited ribbon arranged to conceal the rim of the basket. A broad piece of ribbon tied around where the bottoms of the baskets meet is finished by a large bjw. Very large shopping Iwgs made of vel vet plush, or satin, are Liking the place m fashionable use of handbags ol ltus- sia leather and alligator skin so long popular. Many of the new kinds are made at home, and great pains are ta ken m their ornamentation. Shaded silk embroidery iu Kensington, elabor ate derorations in Arrasene, beadvrork, and poonah painting being used to beautify them. The bags are often three-quarters of a yard in length, and they oien at the sue like the silk purs es of our grandmother's time. Gay li nings of some wearing material like sateen are used, and two heavy rings of white celluloid or of silver gut clasp the bag in the centre. Preserved Crab Atples. Rub each crab apple with a clean bit of fljn- nel, and prick each one in several places with a needle to prevent their bursting, To every pound of fruit add one and one-half pounds of sugar and one pint of water. Make a syrup of the sugar and water, boiling in a porcelain kettle aud skimming it until clear. 1 ut in the crab apples, adding for each pound the juice and grated rind of a .lemon. Simmer them slowly until they are ten der enough for a broom straw to pierce them, rut them warm into glass jars; fill the j irs half full of them, and pour the syrup over them. Stockings that Deform thk Feet, Stockings, says Miss Balliu, if in a minor degree, are still to a great extent responsible for the deformity of toes. Too often the woollen shoe or sock for the baby is narrowed to a point at the toes, or at best to the shape of a blunt wedge, so that the tiny, sprawl ing, outspreading toes are not only cnunel in their movements, but are wedged together, and thus the founda tion is laid for deformity to be perfect ed later in life by a narrowed boot. A ITixttoCook. If the cook has a little pie crust left or even a little of her best puff paste left after making pies, let her use it iu this way: Line some patty pans with it, bake it, then put a teaspoonful of jelly or jam into each one, and pour enough boiled cus tard over it to fill it. If a patty pan pie is an instrument of happiness to the children, let it not be despised. To Cook Veal Cutlets. A very nice way to cook veal cutlets is to dip them into a well beaten egg, then cov er them with fine cracker crumbs; melt ecnie butter aud lard in a frying pan, and cook the cutlets slowly in it; sea son with pepper and salt, and serve with currant jelly, or catsup. A tretty evening hat was made out of an old black lace sacque that bad not been used lor years. It was dipicd in coffee and pulled out carefully. The sleeves made the strings and a cluster of cream roses were placed on the side. Tripe ani How to Serve It. A good way to cook tripe is to first cut it Into pieces not more than an inch square, fry them In batter, and flavor i witn onion sliced very thin, and with ' pepper and salt. A good work basket may be made bv placing one pasteboard box inside an other and covering both with dark mus lin or silk. Embroider the top with scarlet or pink worsted. To Test Jet.lt". A good and quick way to test jelly, to see if it is done, is ' to drop a little in a glass of cold water ice water, if possible; if it falls to the bottom immediately, the jelly is done. Boiled Haai for Tea. Cold boiled ham may be served for tea in this way: Grate it on a coarse grater, line a platter with crisp lettuce leaves, and heap the grated ham in the centre. . ,. -,. Cold Cahbage Salad. Chop the cabbage fine, sprinkle it with salt, pep- per and sugar, cover with one-third water and two-thirds vinegar. 6 Wash muslins and calicoes that are liable to fade, in starch water. Brown linens should be steeDed and rinsed in hay water, There is no real economy in pur- caasing cneap muslin, it soon wears into holes and beenmpn riismlnml washing. rAttM TJOTES. t Orchard CrxTiTATios. There la fUCti a xixms as carrying the cultivation , 0r orchards to extremes thereby doing more injury than good. The land is ; ninwpd and choDDed ana re-plowed wltuout manuring the trees, and the plowing is so deep that most of tht roots that get any nourishment from the surface soil are destroyed from year j yeaT, as soon as they begin to extend themselves in the performance of this office. These loolleU will extend over the surface soil, if not disturbed, and will gather food from anything they can find suitable. By mulching and too dressing we may promote a desira ble crowlh. hut the idea that there must be a continual cultivation is lia ble to prevent any attempt in that direction. Let it be borne iu mind that even a iittie cultivation of orchards will be met with good return and that ' enough is a3 good as a feast," The Family Cow. The family cow is one to be i-etted. she must be gen tle, good looking, and have such quali ties that the housewite and every other member of the family shall be proud of her. Her How of milk must he gener ous, the cream thick, abundant, high colored, and quick in rising, The skim milk may not be too blue; for, not withstanding all that our wisa Board of Health say to the contrary, skim milk is, and will be, the milk of the family. Such a cow must be a good feeder, al ways hungry, not inclined to taking on fltsh while in milk, and as a result will tu in all her feed iuto milk and cream. The butter should be- golden, thould hold its color well into or through the whole winur, aud this product should be so abundant that there shall be no occasion to buy butter so long as th cow is in milk.' Hog Cholera. This dread plague is again ravaging the northwest, and, unfortunately, some other localities aho. An Iowa farmer lately lost GOU liojs in five weeks. Another lost in the same time 300, leaving him onlv ten alive. In a few townships in Mont gomery and Mills counties, that state, quite live thousand hogs have died, be ing 7o per cent, of swine :n that region, The plague has a so broken out in Illi nois. There seems to be no staying or understanding it. The animals m cleau pastures with pure water, have been among those worst stricken. There is no known remedy that will reach the cases. No precaution Kerns to avail. What a pity it is we have not a single scientific man in America who can take up this hog pestilence aud study it, and find a remedy a man, in brief, who would be to the United States what Louis Fasteur is to France. More Nut Bearing Trees. To the hardy nut bearin-z trees mentioned may lie added yet others. There is the Spauish chestnut, the fruit very large and desirable for market, the tree ex ceedingly handsome, The Japan giant chestnut is another. Japan fruit and ornamental trees ia general are beauti ful and desirable. Almonds of tine quality are beginning to be cultivated with great success iu the south. They will crow wherever the peach can. When we can raise everything to eat iu the United States on our own soil, fruit?, vegetables, meats of all kinds, then we shall have attained perfect civ ilization. Market gardeners sometimes usa a ton of superphosphate per acre. It is a great waste. Five or six hundred pounds is all the crop needs, and the only benefit derived frfliu the excess is due to the nitrogen and potash the fer tilizer may contain. For the sake of getting a pound of nitrogen you use three, four, in some cases even five or six pounds of phosphate, which the plants do not need. Intelligent market gardeners should study this sutjoct. Better use five or six hundred paunds of . superphosphate aud purchase the required nitrogen in some cheaper aud available shap? such as dried blood, sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soJa. Whex it is not convenient to take locks apart In the event of keys being lost, stolen, or missing, and it is desired to fit a new key, take a lighted match or candle and smoke the keyhole in the flame, introduce it carefully into the keyhole, press it firmly against the op praing wards of the lock, withdraw it, and the indentations on the smoked part of the key will show exactly where to file. Drr.ixo last year bees In Ohio gatL ered 1,731,C05 pounds of honey, estima ted to be worth $270,973, while the fowls produced 32,002.321 dozen of eggs, valued at ?4,Si0,S4S. The value of the eggs was nearly equal to that of the wool produced in the State. Flows that stand over night in the field will rust. If they cannot be car ried to the barn draw them out of the ground and leave them standing. If a plow is laid on its side the beam is lia ble to become warped. When the sea son is over, and the tools are no longer required, they should be painted aud carefuily laid away. In feeding roots It is very important :hat they be sliced, especially when given to cattle. If the weather becomes cold It Is best to keep the roots in water over night to draw out the frost. Then sprinkle with meal and a small proportion of salt. Ix planting an orchard the younK trees should be slightly inclined toward the direction of the prevailing winds. All the old orchards lean as the trees were bent while yonng, and most of these old orchards were set when there was more forest and winds were much 'ess violent than now. Dead limlis on fruit or other trees should be promptly removed. The cut ting should be below any diseased part, or it will spread the infection. The saw used should not be applied to healthy trees unless first washed with carbolic acid and water. Starles and pens should be airy and well ventilated, but not drafty. Place a horse or other animal that is warm from exercise, in a stall where a draft will strike, and injury must sure- "y follow to the health of the beast. A Kansas paper tells of a fanner who drove iuto town with a large load of corn and a small crock of butter. He . sold the corn for 3 and the butter for the same amount. One was raw mate- rial and the other finished product, Great care should be exercised in changing the stock to grass in spring, The fresh grass acts as a powerful ca- tnartic ana weasens tue animals, esne- dally the young stozk. The first day's yasturage should not last over an hour. Ducks should have separate houses from other fowls. No roosts are nec- essary, but they should have troughs. as they do not like to pick and hunt on i,be ground like chickens. . . Celery is sometimes deceptive and not 80 tender as it looks, and In fact t0 tough to bo eaten; but do not throw It away. Chop it and put it la- to jars of tomato or cucumber pickles. It will give a most excellent flavor. Charcoal powder will be found a In very good thing to give knives a first rate polish. if! fiiin'iir 'nin A oy on Iligh street west placed a big apple on the front steps and 'walked across the street to see who would take it.- A gentleman who had observed the action said: . .
