THE GREAT SCANDAL.

he uys: **l huve been doing ten men'n work this winter, partly to make up lose, find partly because I live nndcr a cloud, feeling every month that I mgr be doing my last work and anxtons to make the most of It. When Esau sold his birthright he fonnd no place for repentance, though he eonght It carefully with tears; but I have one abiding comfort. I have known yon, and found In you one who has given a new meannto friendship.'” - letter Is also given from Mr. Tilton, written In the fall of 1871. or thereabonts. on board of a passenger car on the Hudson River Railroad. Mrs. Beecher being also a passenger In the same car. Mr. Tilton savs In the letter: “Mrs. Beecher sits In the next seat. We are almost elbow to elbow In the palace car. She is white-haired and looks a dozen years older than when I last had a near view of her. My heart has been still of pity for her, notwithstanding the cruel wav in which she has treated my good name. Her face Is written over with many volumes of human suffering. 1 do not think she has boon aware of my presence, for she has been absorbed in thought. » • » Jf l am ever to he vindicated from the slander which she has circulated, or which Mr. Bowen S ret ends to have derived from her and Mrs. iorse, whv would it not be well to get from her and Mrs. Morse a statement, tinder oath, by such a process as last evening—documents made easy and harmless—of the exact narrations which they made to him and to others? It would be well to have them sav what they said before he gets a chance to say what they said to him. • * ♦ My sullen neighbor keeps the dark and lurid past ‘vividly before my mind. If she actually knew the conduct which her priestly husband has been guilty of. I believe she would shed his blood; or, perhaps, sparing him she wonld wreak her wrath on his victim." After the publication of the tripartite covenant was made "Tilton deemed, from the comments from the press, that the statement reflected upon him, and he desired that in some way Beecher should relieve him from the imputation of having circulated slanderous stories about him without justification, lor which he had apologized, and. by advice of friends he prepared a card for Mr. Moulton to submit to Mr. Beecher Tor him ("Mr. 8.l to sign and publish in his vindication. Mr. Beecher felt much aggrieved at this claim on him by Tilton, feeling that the matter had been all settled and adjusted, and he answered Tilton s application in this regard by letter, under date of June 1.1873. published in full in Mr. Beecher's statement, and beginning “M.v Bear Prank: The whole earth is tranquil, and the heaven is serene." Meanwhile charges were preferred against Tilton for the purpose of having him dismissed from Plymouth Church. This action, which seemed to threaten the discovery of the facts in regard to the troubles between Beecher and Tilton, annoyed people verv much, and Mr. Monlton feared that serious cfifHcultv would arise therefrom. I'non consultation with Beecher and Tilton. Mr. M. suggested a plan bv which that investigation wonld be rendered unnecessary, which was in substance that a resolntjao should be passed by the church amending itslW!, alleging that Tilton having voluntarily withdrawn from the church some four years befonaaajjgrefore. the roll should be amended by striding off his name. This course had been suggested by Mr. Tilton. In a letter to Mr. Monlton. dated Dec. 31, 1871, Mr. Beecher says to press action in the case would onjy serve to raise a priifiricss^excltement; there were already letter is written 0 had better be very short, simply announcing the withdrawal, and. perhaps, with an expression of kind wishes, etc." But wnen the meeting of the church was held for that purpose, it was charged there that Tilton had slandered the pastor. Tilton took the stand, and said, in substance, that if he had uttered any slanders against Beecher he was ready to answer them, as God was his witness. Beecher thereupon stated that he had no charges to make, and the matter war- dropped. Bnt when the resolution was passed, instead of being put so as to exonerate Tilton, it was declared, in substance, that, whereas, certain charges had been made against him. and as he pleaded to those charges “ nonmembership." his name be dropped from the roll. This action of the church very much exasperated Tilton, who thought Beecher should have prevented such a result, and that he might have done so if he had stood by him fully and fairly as agreed. In that, however, Moulton believes Tilton was mistaken, because Mr. William F. West, who preferred the charges against Tilton, did it against the wish of Beecher and without any consultation with him. Meanwhile, through the intervenlisn of Dr. Stores and others. an Ecclesiastical Council had been called. The efforts of this Council in attempting to disfcllowship Plymouth Church were very displeasing to Beecher. and_caim-d him much trouble, es-, peciallv the action of Dr, Stores, which he ex-4 pressed to Mr. Moulton in a letter, dated March 25,1874. in which be says: " I am indignant beyond expression. Storm" course has been on unspeakable outrage. After his pretended friendship for Theodore he has turned against him in the most venomous manner, and it is not sincere. His professions of faith and affection for me are hollow and faithless. They ure merelv tactical. llis object is plain. lie is determined to force a counter, and aec oho of us to destroy the other, if possible- That is his game. By stinging Theodore he believes he w ill be driven into a course which he hopes will ruin me. If ever a man hetrayed another, he has. lam in hopes that Theodore, who has borne so much, will be unwilling to be a flail.in Stores’ hand to strike at a friend. There are one or two reasons, emphatic, for waiting until the end of the Council before takinganv action. First, that the attack on Plymouth Church and the threats against Congregationalism were so violent that the public mind is to be absorbed in the ecclesiastical elements and not in the personal. Second, if Plymouth Church is dlsfellowshiped, it will constitute a blow at the church and me far severer than at him. Third, that if the Council does not disfellowship Plymouth Church, then undoubtedly Storrs will go off into Presbyterianism, as lie. almost without disguise, threatened in his speech, and in that case the emphasis w ill be there. Fourth, at any rate, while the fury rages in the Council, St is not w ise to make any move that would be one among so mauv as to lose effect in a degree. After the battle is over one can more exactly see what ought to no done. Meantime I am as patient as I know bow to be. but pretty nearly used up with inward excitement, and must run away for a day or two and hide and sleep, or there w ill be a funeral." - While these proceedings were pending, the Rev. Mr. Ualiiaay, the assistant of lteeeher. called upon him and upon Mr. Moulton to endeavor to learn the facts about the difficulties between Beecher and Tilton, and Mr. M. told him he did not think that either lie or the church w ere justified in endeavoring to reopen a troublewhich had been adjusted and settled by the parties to it. and that it was better." j'ur everybody, that the whole matter should be allowed to repost- in quiet. Mr. M. here furnishes a letter from Mr. B. iu which he save: —Halliday called last night. Tilton's interview with him did not satisfy, but disturbed; but it was the same with Bell, who was present. It tended directly to unsettling. Your interview last night was verv beneficial, and gave confidence. This must be looked after. Ft is vsiti to build if the foundation sinks under every 8-Tort." ' Mr. Monlton here says the anxiety which Mr. Be >cher felt about the stories afloat, and the steps he took to quiet them, together w ith the trust he reposed iu him i.M.) and his ability to aid him in that behalf, may he seen bv "the following letter of June 25, 1873: “I have seen Howard ugai.n. He says that it was not from Theodore that Wilkeson got. the statement but from Carpenter. Is he reporting that view ? I have told Clafiin * that ''you w ould come with Carpenter i 3 be could be found, and al any rate by nine to-night, to see Storrs. but I did not sav anything about Storrs. I sent Cleveland with mv. horse and Ipiggy over to huiitCarpenter. Will you put Carpenter on his guard about making snen statements? For these bear the force of Coming from headquarters." Meanwhile (Mr. Moulton continues) Mr. Halliday had had an interview with Tilton, the result of which, as unsettling the matter between Tilton and Reccher. was very anxiously aw aited by Mr. Beecher, who was quite anxious that Tilton should take no steps by which the matter hematic .in any manner a matter of controversy. With this view’he staled the situation, on tliesamc night ofthe interview of Uaiiidav and Tilton. In a letter which is without date, and was written in pencil iu great haste, in which „he says: “1. The Eagle ought to have nothing to-night. It is that meddling which stirs up our folks. Neither vou nor Theodore ought to be troubled by the side which von served so faithfully in public. 2. The Deacons' meeting. 1 think, is adjourned. I saw Bell. It was a friendly movement. 3. The only near next danger is the women Morrill, Bradshaw and the poor dear child. If the papers will hold off a month we can ride out the gale and make safe anchorage, and then when once we are in'deep and tranquil waters we will all join hands iu a profound and genuine loan I)co; for through such a wilderness only a Divine Providence could have led us undevoured bv the open-mouthed beasts that layln wait Tor our lives. I go on the twelve o'clock train, after a sleepless night. lam anxious about Theodore's interview with IlaliidavJAfter saying that the committee had all the letters aud documents bearing upon the subject matter of the inquiry. Mr. Moulton said he desired to speak of a Single collateral matter Beecher never intimated to him that he thought there was any desire on Tilton's part to blackmail him, and he knew there was no attempt on Tilton's part to get any more than what he believed his last dac from Bowen. The qnestion whether Wilkeson knew or belbwed that asv offense had been committed will dfyenfl' upon the fact whether he knew of anything that had been done by Beecher or Tilton's wife which milled for apology at the time he wrote the tripartite covetiant. The tripartite covenant was made solely in reference to disclaimers which Beecher had made to Tilton and Tilton had made to Bowen: and Tilton’s letter *ej* forth, that the only disclosure he made to Bowen of Beecher s acts toward himself were of improper Ad vance* made to bia wife, and that he so limited his cogfge in order to save tbehpnor of his wifi?. Mr. Tilton had to hi* personal knowledge never made a demand on Beecher for money or pecuniary aid in anv way or form. He only asked that Beecher should interpose hi^inflacut e and power to protect him from the slanders of those who S claimed to be Beecher's friends; while Beecher f, with the generosity and kindness toward which had always characterized bis acts the whole of the unhappy con trovers v. of i motion, insisted through Moulton in aidkm in establishing his enterprise of the which purpose be gave him the fft,ooo, which he was to expend in auch

manner as he deemed best to Kelp the enterprise along; and if Tilton was at any time ft need, personally to aid him. It was understood between Monlton and Beecher that this money was to go to Tilton as if It came from Monltou's own voluntary contributions for his benefit, aud I hat he should not* know that the money came from Beecher, or think that he >vas in any way* Indebted to him for it. Mr. Moulton also presented in this connection a statement of account, showing that between May 2,1873, and May 1874, he had received of Mr. Beecher $5,000 and paid to Mr. Tilton at various times sums amounting in the aggregate to $4,550 Mr. Tilton had more than once said to him he conld and would receive nothing from Beecher in the wav of pecuniary assistance. Beecher had told Moulton that be was willing to furnish money to pav the expenses of Tilton and his family abroad, in order Tilton might by saved from the constant state of irritation whici} arose from the rumors he was daily hearing. Moulton rather hinted at than informed Tilton of this fact, and he repelled even the intimation of such a thing with the utmost indignation and anger. Therefore he iMoulton) only undertook the disbursement of this sum at the most earnest and voluntary request of Beecher. The first intimation ofthe insanity of Tilton arose in this w ise:' Trior to Sunday, March 29, 1874, a publication was made of a statement by a reporter of the Brooklyn Union . purporting to be the result of an interview with Thomas G. Shearman, clerk of Plymouth Church, to the effect that Tilton was insane, and that he stated that Mrs. Tilton had mediumistic fits, w hatever disease that may be, in which she had stated matters affecting the character of Beecher; and to the statement of neither of them for that reason was any credit to be given. This publication, as it tended not only to excite Tilton to a defense of his sanit v. but as also coming from the clerk of Plymouth Church, might be supposed to be an authoritative expression of his pastor. It annoved Beecher very much and he wrote a letter to Moulton giving expression to his feelings as follows: * * * “Is there to be no end of trouble? Is wave to follow wave in endless succession? Iw as cut to the heart when C. showed me that shameful paragraph from the Union. Its cruelty is beyond description. I felt like lying down aud saying, ‘I am tired, tired, tired of living or .of * trying to resist the devil of mischief.' I would rather have had a javelin launched against me a hundred times than against those that have suffered so much. The shameful indelicacy of bringing the most sacred relations into such publicity fills me with horror. But there are some slight alleviations. The paragraph came when the public mind was engaged with the Council aud with Theodore’s letters. I hone it will pass without further notice.*’ Tilton demanded a letter of retraction, and, as it was not forthcoming. Moulton visited Shearman, and, receiving no satisfaction, subsequently called with Tilton, and shortly after obtained a statement that "he was satisfied what he had previously said in the published interview was erroneous. Meanwhile, it had come to be spread about that Beecher had made a similar accusation as to the sanity of Mr. and Mrs. Tilton to that of Shcarman. to which report Mr. Beecher gave an emphatic denial, in a note to Mr. Cleveland, of the present Investigation Committee. He said: “I have been as dumb as the dead. They that dare to say I have spoken of it are liars, if they speak for themselves, and the bearers of lies if they, received it from others.” Mr. Moulton continues: ‘"Having retained the friendship of the principal parties to this controer to produce herewith any letters that I have received from either of them, exctipl-the single. ouo exonerating me from blame, aud showing Mrs. Tilton’s confidence in me, which I thought was due to myself to do. because of the peculiar statement attributed to her. Nor have I produced any papers or proposals for a settlement of this controversy since it has broken out afresh, and since the publication of Mr. Tilton’s lettter to I)r. Bacon and the call of Beecher for a committee. Nor have 1, since then, furnished to either party, although called upon by both, any documents iu mv possession. that one might use the same against the other I have endeavored to hold myself strictly as a mediator between them, and my endeavor has ever been, down to the latest, boiir. to have all the scandal arising out of the publication of the facts of their controversies and wrongs buried out of sight, deeming it best that it should be so done, not only for the good of the parties concerned and tlieir families, but that of the community at large.” The, cone hiding paragraph is as folio ws.^ “If there is any paper or fact supposed by; either of the parties or by the committee to be in my possession, which will throw any further light upon the subject of your inquiry, I shall be most w illing to produce it’, if I have it. although Ido not believe there is any such; and I ain ready tZFSffffW er nny' proper quesTlon which shall rbe put to me in the way of cross-examination bv any of the parties concerned, or their counsel, as fully us my memory, or any data I have, will serve, so that all the facts may be know n. For if any part of them be known, I deem it but just to truth and right that all should be lvtiown. As, however, controversy has already arisen as to the correctness of the reports of evidence taken before the committee. I must ask leave, if any cross-examina-tion is to be had, to ire accompanied by mv own stenographer* Who shall take down tlveevidence I may give, as a necessary measure for my ow n protection.

A Gypsy Divorce.

A camp of gypsies is near Washington, and a llrpubliam reporter lias visited it and talked with Gitana, a gypsy maiden. We quote: “We suppose you are human beings, and have to get divorced?” “Sometimes; hut it’s a dreadful tiling with us to get divorced. It causes grief and mourning, aud blood lias to he sited." “Well, pray tell us how you get divorced?” “ I know I am talking too much;” and the Gitana trembled as she spoke; hut a half-dozen bright silver quarters thrown into her lap seemed to give her assurance. “I know I am talking too much, hut I’ll toll you. It is this way: When a man and his wife are to be separated, it is done by the sacrifice of a horse. “ One is picked out which is entirely sound and free-front a bruise or even a scratch, and lie is led out to the spot where the divorce is to take place, and exactly at twelve o’clock. The men cast lots for the one who shall kill the horse, and for this occasion he is the priest. The priest takes a long pole in his hand and walks around the horse several times, and in a loud voice praises his good qualities and names all the persons who have owned it. “The horse is then led into the tent of the woman who is to he divorced. If he kicks round and jumps about the woman has been very had; if he keeps quiet she lias not been so bad. The priest then takes a large knife and stabs the horse to the heart, and when it is stretched out on the ground the husband takes his place on one side of it and the wife on the other. They joinTiands across Hie horse, and repeat some sentences in the gypsy langtmge. They then walk three times around the horse in opposite directions. “The last time, when at the head ot the lnjirse, they face each other and speak, and do the same thing at the tail. They again sltake hands and separate, one going north and the other south. She never marries again, and has to wear a mourning veil, and big shoes on her feet. The heart of the horse is' then taken out, roasted, sprinkled with brandy, and eat•en by the husband and his frje'nds. The horse is then buried on the spot. The husband can marry again.”,

The Treatment of Hair or Fur.

.Reference lias already been made to a method of utilizing feathers of barnyard poultry, wild fowl, etc., in the preparation of a loose fiber to be worked up into a felt cloth, blankets, etc. The following describes a somewhat cognate industry having reference to a new"mode of treating fur. This forms the subject of a communication by Mr. Joseph Tussaud, who is Sent one of the proprietors of the’ celebrated wax-work establishment in Baker street, London, founded by Madame Tussaud. The attention of Mr. Tussaud was first called to the subject by his desire to transfer the hairs of fur-bearing or other animals to wax figures without including the skin in Which they were inserted. After numerous ex' pertinents he succeeded in accomplishing this and developing, as already remarked, a (new industry. The great object which Mr. Tussaud aimed to secure was the removal of hair or fur from the skin and then attaching this to an artificial skin, obtaining .thus a more perfect degree of preservation for any purpose whatever, While retaining the hairs in their qriginal and natural relationship. For this purpose the piece of fur to be treated may be soaked in lime-water -or other suitable liquid, as practiced by tanners, for the purpose of loosening the adhesionof the hair. It is then to be washed

in water, to free it from the superabundant lime or other substance, and hungup for a time to dry off the excess of moisture. It is then laid on a board, with the hair side up, and a solution of gluo applied by means of a brush or otherwise, taking care not to disturb the natural position and relation of the hair. The size or glue is then allowed to harden, when it will hold the fibers very firmly. The natural skin may then be pulled entirely off from the hhirs, leaving their ends exposed, which may then be washed by some - substance to free them entirely from adherent fat, bulbs, etc., and properly poisoned. An artificial skin is next to he affixed by applying india-rubber, gutta-percha, boiled drying oils, or other water-proof substances, over the roots of the hairs and allowed to dry, so as to form a continuous membrane; after which all that is necessary is again to soak the skins in warm water for a time to dissolve out all the glue, and the new fabric is produced in all its completed condition. To render the rubber or gutta-percha more lasting it may be combined with sulphur so as to vulcanize it, for which purpose a solution of chloride or hypochloride of sulphur in bisulphurct of carbon may be employed. In using bisulphurct of carbon forty parts of the same are to he added to one part of chloride or hypochloride of sulphur, prepared as neutral as possible, and the solution is then allowed to remain in contact with the artificial skin of rubber or gutta-percha a longer or a shorter time, a minute being sufficient for a thin sheet. This operation must be completed, of course, before immersing in warm water to remove the glue which produces the adhesion of the hairs. One great advantage of this process consists in the fact that fabrics thus prepared are moth-proof, and it is suggested that for many purposes, such as the construction of rugs, mats, etc., they must be superior to the natural skin. In the case of heavy skins the artificial preparation is much lighter, more pliable, and better in every respect, Several of these artificial skins may he combined so as to form one, or they may he modified in any manner desirable. When properly made the preparation is entirely free from any smell, and especially the animal odor, which is so offensive to many furs.— New York Tribune.

Kitchen-Poisoning.

Thf, recent poisoning in TfewYnilc,caused by the reckless use of vermin “ exterminator,’’- deserves the earnest attention of housekeepers. Three persons died and several others were seriously prostrated from the effects of this preposterous blunder. The developments at the inquest give a startling exhibition of the ignorance and carelessness of servants, and show how liable families are to fatal accident in the kitchen when constant supervision is not exercised by the mistress of the house. The particular exterminator used in this case was Paris green, one of the deadliest ot mineral poisons, and the testimony shows that it was employed in entire ignorance of the danger incurred. Enough of the substance was, scattered about the kitchen to kill a regiment—the only excuse for such an invitation to disaster being a desire to rid the premises of roaches. Very likely the roaches were killed-by sraeft vigorous treatment, hilt, it is a miracle that the whole family was not as summarily disposed of. As it was, t]ie consequences were sufficiently dreadful. The poison was found scattered everywhere —among the dishes, among the knives and forks and on win-dow-sills, where a breath of air might scatter it into articles under process of cooking. Such foolhardiness is almost incredible, and the carelessness of the head of the family in permitting such practices equally so. The travail of “looking after” servants is often a serious one, but experience constantly shows that it cannot, either in safety or coiaifort, he relaxed.— Chicago Tribune.

Corn Raw and Cooked.

The time will soon come when farmers will want to begin to fatten stock for the fall and winter market. The object will be to turn a part of the crops of the season at least in this way. The question that comes up for consideration is, How shall this be done, to the greatest profit? Take, for instance, some facts that have been given, sett ing forth experiments that have been made to show that the question is not only shall we turn our corn into pork', but how shall the corn be fed to the greatest advantage? Shall it be fed whole, or ground, or cooked? Experiments have been made when everything has been equalized to show the comparative value of corn fed raw and cooked, whole and ground; and in one case the result was that five -bushels of whole corn made forty-sev.en and threefourths pounds of pork; five bushels ground (less toll), wet with water, made fifty-eight and one-lmlf pounds; and the same amount of meal boiled'and fed cold made eighty-three and one-half pounds. In the first case the amount of the corn fed equaled the value of the pork When it was fattened, and in the last the pork equaled the amount of corn fed and gave ts profit of one dollar a bushel in addition. Any one can see that the profit here came from the boiling of the meal; and that if, feeding the whole raw, grain would give a profit as it usually does,' this would be greatly increased by.cooking. ■ - 5 In another experiment ten bushels of corn oh the cob fed on the ground made t wenty-nine and one-lmlf pounds of pork. The same amount shelled and coarsely ground and cooked made sixty-four pounds. These facts are given officially and.can be relied on,’and the results here stated should be considered and remembered, and their instruction applied. “Another experiment was tried under different circumstances from those mentioned above, but a like result was secured. The raw corn fed whole gave a return of SI.OB per bushel, the cooked 'meal that of sl.6s'per bushel. The results, like the above, of experiments might be given to almost any extent, but enough has been said to show the direction in which profit lies for the farmer if he will take it. The machinery for cooking for stock is simple, and the work of doing it is light. A.little preparation in advance made at odd spells will make it convefiient to cook the daily rations for stfrck as it is needed! We have done this ourselves with no particular hindrance to our other work, and have been abundantly satisfied with results. If one would feed his grain to the greatest profit, no doubt it should be done in this way.-— Ohio Farmer. —A one-legged soldier, a Mormon, recently asked Brigham Young to supply, by a miracle, the missing limb; but the apostle, not to be caught, made this reply : “ I can in an instant produce a new leg in the place of the old oneybut then you see, if I do, it will cause great inconvenience to you in heaven; for after your exaltation to glory the original leg will come back to the spiritual body ; mine also being of Divine origin becomes immortal, and, ih this case, observe how very awkward a three-legged angel from Utah Would appear among the inhabitants of the eternal world!” “ May Heaven's angels whisper golden words as they kiss your darling cheeks,!’ wrote a La Crosse man to his Betsy only last spring; and now he wishes Heaven’s angels would whisper to him how his jbreach-of-promise suit is coming qut, as his lawyer is doubtful. ' •

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—Weeds should he kept down everywhere. Thistles, wild parsnips and carrots, mulleins and burdocks, in neglected corners and fence rows should be cut up by the root, and the tops gathered and burned. Many weeds are now ripening their seeds and if neglected will make work for many years to come. —Cement for Glass, China and Wood. —Steep Russian isinglass twenty-four hours in white brandy, gently boil and stir the mixture until it is well compounded and a drop of it, cooled, will become a thick jelly; then strain it through a linen cloth,hind cork closely. A gentle hgat will dissolve it. Apply to the edges, place them together, and hold them five minutes. —Dyeing Ornamental Feathers Black. —Place them for twenty-four hours in a soda bath that is not too strong, then rinse well and place for twelve hours in an 8 per cent, solution of nitrate of iron; rinse well again and dye with logwood and fustic. If the black appear? reddish, draw the feathers through dilute sulphuric acid and bpil a short time in a weak bath of fustic. —Stiffening Gauze.—Good wheat starch and white wax are employed, cither cold or warm, according to the color. The gauze on removal from the starch is perfectly untwisted, pressed out and clapped with the hands so that the starch may be uniformly distributed. Any meshes that may still appear filled with starch may be freed from it when the gauze is stretched on the drying pad by brushing it with the hand or, better, with a soft brush. Small starched pieces can also be placed on the finishing drum, since the starch remaining in any meshes will stick to the drum when the gauze is removed. In this case, however, it will unavoidably have a spotted luster on the side next the drum.— Harper's Bazar. —ln the training of a little girl great pains should be taSfen to discover what gift or talent she has, if any, and, whatever her circumstances, to fit her for its use. Even putting the money value of such art or accomplishment out of the question, its aid as a resource and strengthener is incalculable. Disappointment and grief come more easily to women than to men; they abide with them longer, and sap more of their life away, simply because they need the tonic of hard, enjoyable work —not the mere drudgery of the bread-winner, but the toil of the artist. Pride, philosophy, even religion, cannot give the new vitality which such work bestows on the faithful votary. It repairs bodily and mental forces like nature itself, slowly, imperceptibly, surely. The father and mother who can find in their daughter such power, and give to her the means of using it, may count themselves happy, and her the inheritor of a royal-heritage. —Pork Raising.—My own theory of pork raising, based upon experience, observation and probably a little philosophy of things, if written for the benefit of others, would he about as follows: During the hot summer months I should feed very Tittle solid feed, such as corn in the ear or uncracked. I would keep hogs upon green feed constantly, cither grass, oats or rye, and feed them at regular intervals, once or twice per day, upon mashed feed, eithershortsychopped oats or rye, buckwheat, etc.; feed in troughs. When fed in this way, and at the same time allowed access to water and shade, liogs will hear crowding through the hot months, a very good time, if not the best, to take on flesh. This puts them in the best condition for corn feeding, which should commence about the Ist of September, when the new crop is still soft and tender. Treated in this way hogs become probably as perfect as any method could make them. Upon the whole, too, I believe it the cheapest and most enonomical.— Cor. of Germantown Telegraph.

Pork as an Article of Food.

If we examine the case from an impartial and unbiased standpoint, and divest all that has been said against pork and porkers from everything that is imaginary or not true, and take the fanaticism,the idiosyncracies.and the ignorance Of those lecturers and writers for simply what they deserve, we shall find, first, that pork is not a contemptible, useless, unwholesome, and unsubstantial food; and a man who has to do a hard day’s work, arid has to eat his bread in the sweat of his face, doe*; by no means despise it, but prefers it very often to the choicost beef or mutton. This is but natural, for pork furnishes more almost than anything else, not only the elements required to support the respiratory process, but also those’ which are principally needed by the organism of a laboring man to repair the continual organic wastes of material, as modified and increased by hard labor. It is true that pork can be too fat, or be Joo badly served or prepared by the cook to be tasty, even to the palate of a laboring man; but so can beef and mutton and everything else, as can be found out very easily in certain boarding-houses. Neither is pork so very unsubstantial an article of food as some of those writers and lecturers are anxious to make us believe. AVhile the body of almost every other domesticated animal, contains between (56 and 75 per cent, of water, the body of a fat pig contained, according to analysis made in the Royal Agricultural College at Eldena, in Prussia, only 45.3 per cent.; and the remainder, the waterfree substance, contained 20. i per cent, of proteine substances, 27.1 per cent, of fat, and 3 per cent, of mineral substances. It is true that pork is not so rich in nitrogen as beef, for instance; but it is not nitrogen alone that is required in the food. Pork of course is not always of the same quality. Its firmness or softness ’and oiliness, respectively, depend, first, upon the breed of the animal, and, second!}’, upon the kind of food with which the .same has been fattened. The socalled improved breeds produce a firm pork, containing a good deal of muscle, if the same have comparatively but little blood of the small breeds of a Southern climate, and produce a soft and oily pork if the same have but little, or scarcely any, blood of the old hog of England or •of Central Europe, The food also causes considerable diff«%rice -In the. quality Of the pork. Barley produces the 'firmest and most solid pork, arid oats produce the softest—even softer and more oily than that produced by feeding corn. The fat of hogs fattened with barley, becomes fluid at 105.8 3 Fahrenheit, and the fat of hogs fattened with oats at 100.4° Fahrenheit. The former, when fluid, Stiffens in one hour at a temperature of 89.6° Fahrenheit, and the latter in six hours at a temperature of 75.2 ° Fahrenheit. Consequently, one who prefers very solid pork must choose a pig qf a large breed, and must fatten it with barley, and one who desires his pork soft may., select a small breed and fatten the same with corn or with oats. It may be well to remark here that the feeding of much salt (chloride of., sodium) is injurious to pigs,, and interferes with their growth and with the process of fattening. Investigating further, we shall, find, secondly, that pigs are mudh better than their reputation, and have done and are doing much more for mankind than mankind has done, and is doing, for them. First, there is no domesticated animal, that is, as a general rule, so much neglected by its owner and left to its own resources before it is fattened for the shambles as a pig; and still there

Ut Do other animal that converts its food 4> soon into food for human beings. Secondly, a pig is an omnivorous animal; that is, it can feed and thrive on both animal and vegetable substances; it is not very particular, and consumes with some relish almost any offal lVom the table, from the dairy, and from the kitchen and garden, which can be scarcely utilized in any other way, with which it«ats the,grain of the field, the grass and clover of the pasture, and the acorns of the forest. Therefore almost any family can raise and fatten one or two pigs with scarcely any expense whatever. Thirdly, pigs are accused of being dirty and filthy and fond of wallowing in the mud. This is a calumny, for scarcely any of our domestic animals keeps its stall and its bedding as clean as a pig, provided the latter is not compelled by the carelessness or by the ignorance of its owner to sleep and to deposit its excrements at the same place, but is provided with a good, dry, warm, well-lit-tered and well-ventilated pen to sleep in, and with a yard which it can walk into at its own pleasure. Further, there is no animal that is more fond of being brushed, rubbed, washed and petted, or that enjoys a good bath in clean, fresh and cool water as much as does a pig, especially in the summer, when a daily bath is so essential to the health of the animal. A pig takes a bath in a mud-pool only when no other opportunity is left.—Cor. Chicago Tribune. '•==

Address Reed’s Temple of Music, Chicago. —The venerable Dr. Tyng rebukes a habit in which he says some clergymen indulge, viz.: He lias seen one take his quid of tobacco from his mouth before prayer in a highly-finished pulpit and lay it on the marble slab, and after praying put it in his mouth again. The Herald and Presbyter says: “If the doctor is simply for preserving the slab from defilement, w r e can suggest a remedy in the habit of a minister we once knew. ‘ Before going into church he put his quid into a crevice in the brick Avail, and after service took to chewing it again.” Winning Golden Opinions. —Perhaps no man living has won more golden opinions than Dr. Walker, as the enormous and widely-increasing sale of his Calinever iook into one of our exchanges but there is a panegyric of the Bitters staring us in the face. Our readers will say that there must be a reason for all this praise. They are right. The efficacy of this celebrated medicine is established by evidence which it is impossible to doubt. Among the thousands who have borne testimony to its excellence there is not one dissentient voice. In very --many phases of inorganic disease it seems to be unfailing. All diseases arising from a vitiated state of the blood are surely eradicated by it. It is an effectual remedy for pulmonary complaints, bilious, remittent and intermittent fevers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges the body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to the system, and, where the vital powers are enfeebled, restores their functions to vigorous and healthy action. All this it does the more effectually because its operation is not interfered with by the presence of alcohol. The Vineoak Bittf.us is perfectly free from any such hurtful ingredient. We have always believed that plants contain the true remedies for disease, and all the remedies necessary. Dr. Walker is on the line of real progress, and we hope that he will not rest on his present discoveries.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon tlieir family pliysicians, one with dyspepsia; another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent doctors separate and distinct diseases, for which lie prescribes his pills aiid potions, assuming them to lie such, when, in reality, they are all sylnptoms caused by some uterine disorder; and while they are thus only able to palliate for a time, they are Ignorant of the cause, and encourage tlieir practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay, treatment, and other complications made, and which a proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfort instead of prolonged misery. From Miss Lobinda E. Bt. Ci.aih, Shade, Athens Co., Ohio, Oct. 14,1872: “ Dr. I?. V. Pi erce, Buffalo, N. Y. — Your Favorite Prescription is working almost like a miracle on mu. lam better already than 1 have been for over two years.” From Ella A. Schafeh, Zanesville, Ind., Aug' 3, 1872: “Dr. Pierce —I received the medicine you sent me and began using it immediately. As a result of the lreatment I feel better" than I have for three years.” From Mrs. John K. llamilin, Odell, 111., March 111, 1872: “ Dr. Pierce —The Favorite Prescription has done me good, whleli I am very thankful for.” _ Wii.hoft’s Fever and Ague Tonic. —This medicine is used by construction companies for the benefit of their employes, when engaged in malarial districts, 'flic highest testimonials have been given by contractors and by the Presidents of some of the leading railroads in the South and West. When men are congregated in large numbers in the neighborhood of swamps and rivers, Wilhoffs Tonic will prove a valuable addition to the stock of medicines, and will amply reward the company in the saving of time, labor and money.

nt l)r. J. Walker’s California Yin* figar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tho question is almotfj daily asked, “ What is tho cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters V’ Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re* covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and lnvigorator of the system. Nover before it th* history of the world- has a medicine boea compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in heaiing the sick of every disoaso man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congostien or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretio, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilio I**' 1 **' Grateful Thousands proclaim \i >;- bgar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. W Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond -repair. —<— Bilious.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same tirno stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.
