P, scattered over plum tretis when in full bloom, has proven very efficacious in checking the ravages of the curculio, with us.--Moore's Rural. IN selecting fruit trees, or any others, be careful to choose those 'with smooth, healthy-looking bark, which have en­ tirely shed their leaves. Tress on whi«h the leaves remain after frost seta in, and atksk to the branches, may be regarded as not healthy, and in some way lacking stamina. --Exchange. GOOD seasoned muck is of immense Mtrvice to farmers when used as an ab­ sorbent, and the stalls for animals should be so constructed as to admit of a wide passage in the rear, with gener­ ous room for the muck 4$ be used daily with tlie droppings.--Journal of Chem­ istry. To A farm like mine, not favored with any living brook Or spiing, I consider a ;good windmill a most important and valuable piece of machinery. Mine not Only saves the labor of primping, but furnishes an abundant supply of water , at all times for house use as well as for All stock on the farm.--Detroit Tribune. THE carrot crop is rendered useless in gardens by grubs eating into the roots. The best remedy that I have tried is to scatter a quantity of soot and finje over the surface of the ground be­ fore forking it over the carrots. This works into the ground, and keeps the aoll free from all sorts of grubs for the whole season. The next best plan is to sow the lime and soot between the rows and hoe it into the ground.--Exchange. I THE best fertilizer for potatoes, to be Applied in the hill at planting, is super­ phosphate and muriate of potash, in •equal proportions, at the rate of 500 pounds per acre, mixed with earth. A good teaspoonful of each is the usual -quantity to the Hill- Bone dust is al­ most as good as the superphosphate. Hen manure mixed with wood ashes and salt and put in the hill, would also be good, but is somewhat hard to get.-- Toronto Globe. BATS are accomplished rope-walkers, And are able to make their way along even very small cords. Consequently, so long as they can mount upon the lines, nothing edible suspended there­ from is safe from their attacks. A cor­ respondent uses horizontal wires, upon which circular pieces of tin are strung, and hangs his meat, grain, etc., between the tin pieces. The rats cannot pass the tin circles, because, as they attempt to climb over them, after walking out on the wire, the pieces revolve.--San Fran­ cisco Chronicle. IT would only require a very small sum from each man in a county to raise 4 fund which, offered in premiums for ratrtails, would go far toward cleaning out these pests, and if a combined effort was made by all the societies of the •country for a few years rats would cease to be a nuisance. Let us have more rat- hunts and fewer horse races, and thus give the boys a chance to win a few honest dollars in premiums at our coun­ ty fairs.--Ohio Farmer. LOOKING over the grape vine you will observe many slender canes not having more than naif the diameter of the •stronger ones; these must be cut close to the parent stock. Then out off the stronger canes at the point where they began to decrease in diameter. This point is generally from three to aix feet from the terminal bud, and may be known from the fainter color of the oqd and unmatured leaves. This ne, and the vine is pruned.--Dutchess Farmer. V WITH respect to the wire worm, I may mention one significant fact. Last sea­ son a field of turnips suffered very se­ verely from its ravages; in the same field there were a few rows of carrots, in the manuring of which gas-lime was used ; and next to these were about an aeffe of potatoes. The carrots quite es- m [ \£aped, and the potatoes were a good * s'Mp. Thia year the whole field is sown with barley. On the portiou where the « iijrnips ware last year the wire worm is * conspicuous in the plant; but on the portion where the carrots and the pota- toes were no trace of>it is visible. --~Lon- i ., -dqn Agricultural Gazette. A WRITER in the Country Gentleman urges greater care in maturing seed, with the view of sustaining the quality of corn and other grain, as well as of all » -crops and plants raised trom seed. The » * perfection in form of the individual seed is not BO important as its thorough ripe­ ness. The seed should be allowed to 4xaw all the nutriment possible from the plant before gathering, and the little wasted in the mm of wheat, etc., by the 04ftbds filling will be mora than compensated by the greater vig­ or and productiveness of that : allowed to remain till fully ripened. Corn especially may and should be left till stalk and husk are completely dead and dry.

VARIETY DESIRABLE IN FOOD.--We must not restrict ourselves to a few ar­ ticles of food, but must have a great va­ riety of foods to Select from; we must not partake of the same fare day after day. but must vary it as much as possi­ ble. Only with a varied and alternating dietary can we be sure that what is lack­ ing in one food will be supplied in an­ other, and what we fail to get to-day we shall have to-morrow. 'What is com­ monly regarded as simply the result of a spoiled palate--the repugnance excited by the steady recurrence of the same dish---is an uprising of the organism it­ self against a food which does not meet its requirements; or, rather, the conse­ quence of a deficiency already estab­ lished. --Housekeeper. A Magnificent Wedding Dress. A correspondent of New York Times describes the wedding dress of Miss Florence Adele Vanderbilt, daughter of William H. Vanderbilt, who was mar­ ried in Boston the other day to Mr. Hamilton McK, Twombley: The dress is of white satin brocade, trimmed with three kinds of lace--round point, point Venice, and point applique--with pearl trimmings and orange blossoms. It is in the prinoesse style, with the neck cut low a la Pompadour, and the bosom filled with lace fichu and pearl trim­ mings. The corsage is short,, and fin­ ished with a belt at the waist. The front of the dress is trimmed with fes­ toons of lace, supported by three folds of satin drapery, coming to the front and caught up by orange-blossom bou­ quets. The pattern of the lace is ex­ quisite. Each festoon is a quarter of a yard deep, and bears a beautifully inter­ woven design in flowers, representing roses, lilies, and baskets overflowing with floral treasures of all sorts. Each alternate festoon is of point Venice and point applique, and the intermediate ones are of round point and point Ven­ ice. The lace is the finest that the ateliers of the Paris modistes could fur­ nish, and eclipses anything heretofore seen in this country. The bottom of the skirt in front is trimmed with sectional chirrings of white satin, filled in between with bouquets of orange blossoms. At the sides the trim­ ming is deep, and grows gradually nar­ row towards the front. An elegant court train of white satin brocade ex­ tends three and a half yards back from the body of the dress. The brocade runs into points at the bottom,, with sev­ eral rows of white satin pelisses laid un­ der the points, making a very stylish ef­ fect. A choice trimming of round point, point applique, and point Venice em­ bellishes the train, which is also adorned with pearl trimmings of great beauty. The sleeves are entirely of lace, Bet off with orange blossoms. This drees cost over $5,000. Luck of til© Lorlllard Brotfcers® A fresh interest in turf matters was aroused in this city by the great contest at Baltimore between Ten Broeck, Parole and Tom Ochiltree. The victory of Parole over the staunch Western champion, Ten Broeck, was a fitting close to one of the most remarkable rec­ ords ever made by a turfman in a single season. At the spring meeting at Jerome Park, at the Long Branch July meeting, at Saratoga, at Jerome Park again in September and October, and finally at Baltimore, Mr. Pierre Loril- lard's horses have captured nearly every prize for which they have been entered. During the season it has been the con­ stant remark that if Pierre Lorillard should start a goat, he would win, so constantly have his colors been first at the winning-jX>Bt. His name heads the list of winners of the season, and the amount of his winnings is upward of $50,- 000. Next on the list comes George Lorillard, Pierre's brother, with win­ nings of between $35,000 and $40,000. Both have frequently competed in the same race, but Pierre has been the ever- lucky one, and the great victory of his horse Parole over Harper Ten Broeck and his brother's Tom Ochiltree is the brightest triumph of all the season. It is a noticeable fact that while the brothers Lorillard, who are comparative ly young on the turf, have been thus overwhelmingly successful, such veter­ ans as Col. McDaniel and August Bel­ mont are far down in the list, and it is believed by those who are well-informed that the first-named " old stager" has been a laige loser on the season's work. --New York Cor.

Our citizens generally will be glad to know that Miss Trewella, who last Christ­ mas broke both thigh bones and her jaw by falling from a swing on the Divide, is now able to walk without crutch or eane, and to do the housework at home Not­ withstanding all the drawbacks ot the case, the attendant surgeons have made a good job of it Both legs are of exactly the same length. Miss Sullivan, who had her head cracked by an upset on the Geiger grade last summer, and who lost two square inches of her cranium, is reported by Dr. Grant as once more clothed and in her right mind.

Hotol-Keeper of IMUMH ft poll* Kept Kren. fProm the ladiaAapotifc Her*ld.] Steal!" said the old man, in accents intense soorn. "Steal! Why, you itonishecL touted how large a of the 1t&vc£ing public are infernal tRieves. They steal the bed- Slothes, pillows, "boot-jacks, soap, soap- dishes--everything, in fact, which they can carry off. Bverybody steals soap. We expect that, and don't kick. You d be surprised to hear that (a noted Indiana poliliui--) makes a practice of putting the soap into his valise every time he pays hia bilL He doesn't seem to use much of it himself, but I think he takes it home fo his uliiluren. The first thing tojae done when a fellow comes to the offioB to pay his bill is to send the porter, ap to his room to see if anything is Ttpigi"~ When a fellow comess down with his valise ia his hand, we are unustM)jr suspicious. The only way to get even with the thieves is to keep a 'thief account." Whenever any­ thing is missed I charge it up at a fair value, and the next time I catch a thief in the act I make him pay the entire amount or go to jail. One day a nice- looking fellow came down with a valise in hie hand and inquired the amount of his bill. The minute I saw him I knew he had stolen something, so I rang the bell and gave the porter the wink. I pottered abofrt the books while the por­ ter was gone, and I could see he was getting uneaev. He had a notion to bolt, but just then the porter came down, and I saw by his eye that something was missing, I jumped over the counter and grabbed the rascal by the throat. 4 Open that valise, you d--d thief,' says I. He got very white about the gills, and began to beg. WhAi the valise was opened, sure enough there was a new bed-spread for which I had paid $5. 'Bill,' says I, 'bring me the tiuef account.' I footed it up, and it amounted to just $56. • You pay that,' says I, 'or go to jail/ He thought it was d---d hanl to have to pay for other meftt'er stealings, but on the whole concluded that it was cheaper than to goto the penitentiary. Compounding a felony? Well, yes; it did have that complexion. But maybe it nipped a thief in the bud. The girls are gener­ ally honest, though once in a while we catch one of them. One time there was an infernal tree-peddler stopped with us, and he had a black satin vest stolen. I paid him $5 for it. He described it very accurately. There was a yellow spot on the collar, where he had dropped some acid on it, and his name in full was writ­ ten on the leather with which it was bound at the bottom. I suspected the girl Mary. We watched her for a week or two, anil concluded we were mistaken, when one day a fellow came in with a black satin vest, and there was a round yellow spot on the collar. It was Mary's sweetheart. I collared him, jerked up his vest and found the name of the tree- peddler on the leather. He owned up that Mary had stolen the vest and given it to him. At that time the thief account was only $7, and so he g it off cheap." IT is computed that the grain used for liquors in a year in the United States reaches 70,000,000 bushels, which would make 1,050,000,000 four-pound loaves of bread. Great Britain uses 80,000,000 bushels of grain yearly for the same pur­ pose, and annually imports food to the value of nearly $400,000,000. said I,' you could see my legs and fudge for yourself.'" "That was a horrid speech* Jennie. How could you say such a thing ?" " Why, Nell, it popped out before I knew it" '* And what did Mr. Parsons say ?** " He blusheddean to Che eyes, and I nun away." Consumption a Disease of Indoor Life. Among the natives of Senegambia pul- monary affections are not only nearly, but absolutely, unknown; yet a single year passed in the overcrowded man- pens and steerage-hells of the slave- trader often sufficed to develop the dis­ ease in that most virulent form known as galloping consumption; and the brutal planters of lue Spanish Antilles made a rule of never buying an imported negro before they had " tested his wind," i. e., trotted him up-hill and watched his res­ pirations. If he proved to be "a roarer," as turfmen term it, they knew that the dungeon had done its work and discounted his value accordingly. "If a perfectly sound man is imprisoned for life," says Baron d'Arblay, the Belgian philanthropist, tf his lungs, as a rule, will first show symptoms of disease, and shorten his misery by a hectic decline, unless he should commit suicide." Our home statistics show that the per­ centage of deaths by consumption in each State bears an exact proportion to the greater or smaller number of inhabit­ ants who follow indoor occupations, and is highest in the factory-districts of New England and the crowded cities ot our central States. In Great Britain the rate increases with the latitude, and at­ tains its maximum height in Glasgow, where, as Sir Charles Brodie remarks, windows are opened only one day for every two in Birmingham, and every three and a half in London; but going farther north the percentage suddenly sinks from twenty-three to eleven, and even to six, if we cross the 57th parallel, which marks the boundary between the manufacturing counties of Central Scot­ land and the pastoral regions of the North. It is distressingly probable, then, to say the least, that consumption, that most fearful scourge of the human race, is not a "mysterious dispensation of Providence," nor a " product of our out­ rageous climate," but the direct conse- aueuce of the outrageous violation of le physical laws of God.--Dr. Felix L. Oswald, in Popular Science Monthly. Total Depravity. 8 The most troublesome thief the UTew York detectives have had anything to do with for a long time proves to be a little girl 13 years old. Mysterious robberies of money and jewels from private houses have been going on in the upper part of the city for several months, so adroitly performed as to baffle the most minute investigation by the police. It was noticed that a pretty, modest-appearing child had been seen about the buildings at the time some of the thefts were sup­ posed t« h a?e been committed, but no one thought of connecting her with the crimes until a few days ago it was ascer­ tained that articles answering to the de­ scription of some recently stolen had been pawned by a girl resembling this one. The officers were at once reminded of little Libby O'Brien, who had testi­ fied to being an accomplice of a Mrs. Kloss, a notorious sneak, thief, a few months before, and they looked her up and arrested her. She denied her guilt at first with the most admirable assump­ tion of innocence, but, when fully iden­ tified by seme of her victims, she owned up. She told the whole story of her criminal career with the greatest com­ posure and cheerfuliieas, without any apprehension fox* her future. She has «&iuudtted about fifty robberies, amount­ ing to several tiiouBSiid doltee, spending the inonty, as ah© nays, in living and dressing well and going to the theaters, giving her mother a small sum each week. Her youth and artlessness of manner have enabled her to gain free admission to dwellings at all times on various pre­ texts, and many people who have enter­ tained her can hardly believe that she could be guilty of the thefts. < Couldn't Behave HemH. A Saratoga correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser overheard two young ladies talking, and this is what they said: "Nell, I'm going home to-morrow." "What for, pray?" "Because I can't behave myself." "Well, out with it, Jennifr .What have you been doingV £ "Lots of tilings. v '**-•' " Well, give us the first ?" "You know Frank Kennedy, Nell?' "That soft, simpering fellow that al­ ways tells jou how 'charming* you look!" ; v• "Exactly. This morning I saw him coming, and made up my mind to take him down. I put my diamond broach in a chair, pinup wards, and asked him to sit down." "He sat, of course, and what then? "He jumped up and yelled : 4Oh, my * * What's the trouble I' I asked. ' Nothing in particular, only I thought of an engagement at this very moment; you must excuse me.' And off he went; and, would you believe it, Nell, the broach was sticking to him." "That was awful, Jennie," and the two girls giggled together for five' min­ utes. Nell broke the spell by demand­ ing: "What next?" "Why, yOu see, I wm talking with that young sprig of a clergyman, the Rev. Tom Parsons. W© had nearly talked each other to death, when, as luck would have it, he made some re­ mark about mosquitoes. I was on my native heath at once, and began to tell him of my experience at Rockaway. ' Did they rate very hard ¥ inquired the Rev. Thomas. 'I wish,' Mr. Parsons, How the French Tote. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Bordeaux, France, gives the following description of how elec­ tions are conducted in that country : "The process is perfectly simple and neat. Electors walk into the Maine as men go on 'Change, and at the gate the friends of the candidate or his agents offer a plain white paper with the candi­ date's name. In the hall where the votes are taken, the Mayor and his bu- reatis without any civil or military guard, sit with the ballot-box before them. The elector offers his numbered elector's ticket, the Mayor tears off a corner of it, calls out the registered number (which is then crossed off by his secretaries), takes from the elector the white voting paper folded, and drops it into the urn. In this way long files en aueue pass on in one even stream, and le process goes on with immense rapid­ ity. The law forbids the presiding offi­ cer to take a voting paper open, or in any way marked outwardly; no armed force is permitted in the voting hall ; the ballot-box has a double key, and must be opened immediately upon the close of the poll. Electors have the right to be present without any interruption from the moment the box is firBt locked up, after examination, until the final count­ ing out of all the voting papers in it, and in practice the whole process goes on under the eyes of the public. The only possible falsification of the process, even in very benighted districts, involves a plain breach of law under the eyes of electors; and, since the new Chamber will in any ease have a republican ma­ jority, which will be the sole judge of all disputed elections, and every elector has an absolute right of objection, if the voting is anywhere improperly ma­ neuvered, it can only be in places where there is not a single republican elector who has the spirit to enter & protest.

A xemarkable trial occupied the atten­ tion of the Circuit Court Friday and Sat­ urday. One of our physicians sued one of the ministers for medical services ren­ dered the family of the latter. The de­ fense was set up that it was the custom of the physicians to attend the families of ministers without compensation, and that the doctor had stated that he would make no charge in this instance. The testimony disclosed pretty dearly that the plaintiff had not intended to make any charge at the time, and that the en­ tries of his charges were all made on the same day, long after the services were rendered. It was generally understood that the doctor, whe had been divorced from a former wife, was paying his ad­ dresses to the daughter of the defendant, and, upon her refusal to marry him, he resolved to take his revenge by compel­ ling her father to pay a doctor's bill amounting to $95. The attempt was a failure. The jury brought in a verdict for the defendant on Saturday night. The contending parties were members of the Presbyterian church of this place,, The trial attracted much attention, and caused considerable gossip that was cal ­ culated to bring discredit upon both par­ ties.-- Vevay {Ind.)

"f • " • . • • 4 • -- • It X Practical Jokec. ̂ Mr. Sothem's energy and liberality in | the beiasfits for the widow of fklwin •• Adams--especially his two rapid rail- 4 road trips to, and day performances in, . •} Philadelphia and Boston, by which the> sum of $3,200 was added to the fund. £ now amounting to $13,000--have greatly endeared him to the profession, and " ' won additional regard for himself from the public. Mr. Sothern has some­ times been alluded to as fond of a - " lark." On one occasion, when w out with Mrs. John Wood, with whom he was acting at the time, he stopped, * and with his companion entered an iron-monger's shop. Advancing to the counter, he said, 84 Have yon the second edition of 'Macaulay'® History of En­ gland f'" The shop-keeper explained that he kept an iron-mongering estab­ lishment. "Well, it don't matter whether it is bound in calf or not," an­ swered the customer. " But, sir, this is not a bookseller's." " It don't matter how you put it up," says Sothern; "a piece of brown paper--the sort of tiling you would give your own mother." "Sir!" bawled the shop-keeper, "we --don't--keep--it! No books ; this is an iron-mongering shop!" " Yes," says Sothern, " the binding differs, but I'm not particular--as long as I have a fly­ leaf, don't yon know?" "Sir!"fairly screamed the shop-keeper, " can't you see we keep no books ? This is an iron­ monger's shop!" 14Certainly," said Sothern, mating himself, " 111 wait for it," Believing that his customer was either hopelesslyfdeaf or equally mad, the man called another from the other end of the store, and explained that he could do nothing with the gentleman. "What do you wish, sir?" moated the second man, advancing. "I should like/9 says Sothern, quietly, "a small plair. fileabontsolong." "Certainly,sir,"! said the man, casting upon bewildered ̂ Mo. 1 a glance of the moat unmitigated disgust. Before the article could be procured, Mrs. Wood, who had been pretending to be oocupied in looking at saws and such trifles, had yielded to al­ ways dominant risibilities, so that she? became quite helpless, and Sothern in- v continently fled with his purchase as soon as he oonld obtain it, leaving her to recover at her leisure. When they met at the theater she accused him ot having abandoned her after reducing her to an utterly inert state bir his prac­ tical joke, but he made it ail light by presenting her, not with " Macaulay's History," but the file.--Harper'^Ba­ zar. . Casualties to Superior Many witticisms have been lavished on the great loss of Russian officers i: this campaign, and we have been tol that the Turks had in oonsequence ev«i been instructed by their superiors neve: to fire on a Russian General lest hi should unfortunately toe replaced by man of some military capacity. It a] pears, however, from a very elabora* return compiled by the Germans of tb losses in the Franco-German war, ~ very nearly as large a proportion of the Generals were killed and wounded as o| the non-commissioned officers and jsrif vate% and a very much larger proportion '̂ of staff officers. Thus 2.66 per cent, of the Generals were killed, and only 2.6(|- - per cent, of the non-commissioned of*; fleers and privates, while 8.72 per cent, { " of the Generals were wounded, and only 9.98 per oent. of the non-oommisskmea officers and privates. Of the staff of­ ficers, however, no less than 8.67 pe# cent, were killed, and as manv as 18.2$ per eeni were wounded. Thus, eveap in am army so admirably disciplined «%*_,, • . the German army, it is obvious that th.0 _ staff ©fleers ran a vety miieli highe^?- proportionate risk than any private' solt" . uier. How oXuelleat was the discipline is to be gr.thorcd from ttafaet that while the toted xmmbm of killeu, woiinded^r' ̂ •• and missiug was about 14 per cent., de*-' oidedly less than 2 per cent, (to speal* precisely, 1.68 per cent) were missing, and in every grade above that of nonA . ! • commissioned officers' and privates th«| number of missing was hardly mom the | per cent The exceptional risks by high officers, then, does not seem1 be peculiar to the Russian arnnr.--* London Spectator. |p; " An Affectionate Moose. . ' - A visitor to the public gardens during the summer must have noticed the ec­ centric conduct of one of the wild geese which frequent the pond in the north­ ern gardens. Whenever a certain old gentleman, whose name we do not know, approaches the pond and mils "Bobby, the gome will leave the pond and sit be­ side him. and, when he leaves to g# home, will follow eloee at his feet like dog to the gate, and sometimes into th ** street, when it has to be forcibly p back, to its manifest disgust, for it off to ite native element twisting its with indignation, and giving vent to; 1 sundry disoordant squeaks. The olt§; • gentleman says he has never fed it, ot ! petted it in any way, which makes i* more remarkable; but we are told by a.-; frequenter of the gardens that abou| two or three years ago a mm used to come there and feed this identical gooa# v, regularly, so we are inclined to think that it is a case of mistakei- identity • • the part of his gooseship.
