Thr re were two ballots in the Sew York Legislature on the 2d inst. On the first Conkbng had 31 votes and Piatt 28 votes a Joss of one to each. But this loss was explained by the statement that one of the Conkling num.' had paired with one of the opposition. On lha second ballot, however, Conkling's voto had dropped to 83, while Piatt's remained at 2?. In the opposition, Cornell and Depew gained most votes. The former had 23 for the Coukliu term, and the latter SO for the Plait term.

A CHAPTER OS VEGETABLES. (From tli Household.1 Spinach is an excellent dish when well cooked; take two quarts, waah, boil for two minutes ia salted boiling water, drain, chop; and heat in a frying-pan f ar two minutes with an ounco oaoh of batteland flour; half a pint of meat broth is added, tho compound is stirred And heated for five minutes, and served with small pieces of fried bread. Second only to spinach are beet sprouts, which will soon pnt forth their tender claims for cousideration; we all know thorn boiled, but after they are boiled they gain in flavor by being fried for two or three minutes in butter. New cabbage scalded five minutes in fast boiling water, coarsely chopped, sprinkled with flour, salt, and pepper, and gently stewed for five minutes with mUk or cream enough to cover it, is good. So, too, is red cabbage sliced, thrown for fifteen minutes into scalding salted water and vinegar, then drained, and fried fivo minutes with batter, and served with a little hot meaf gravy. Lettuce, which seems devoted tiP'salad days," is excellent stuffed; it ta well washed in salted cold water, the roots trimmed off, two tablespoonfuls of cooked forco-mout of any ku-d, or ohepped cold mwit highly seasoned, inclosed with tho leaves which are bonnd together with tape or strips of cloth; several heads thus prepared are placed in ft imucepan, covered with broth or cold gravy well seasoned, and set over tho fire to simmer about five minutes; the tapos are then removed and the lettuce hendu and sauce are served hot A link bet ween cabbago and lettuce are Brussels sprout, those tender, baby cabbages, which, stowed in cream, or quickly fried in butter, almost incline one's thoughts to vegetarituiutni. Beete- are familiar enough boiled and sliced, either served hot with butter, pepper and salt, or pickled, but a novclty is a beet pudding, inado fly mixing a pint of oookod sugar-beets, chopped, with four eggs, a quart of milk, a little salt and pepper, a tablespoonful of butter and bilking them about half an hour; cold boiled beets sliced and fried with butter are pnlaUble; to cook them so that none of their color shall be lost, carefully wash them without breaking the skin or cnttiug of the roots or stalks, and boil them until tender, about an hour, is boiling salted water. Turnips, either' white or yellow, stewed in gravy, are excellent. Choose a quart of small, even size; peel them, boil them; boil them fifteen minutes in well salted boiling water; drain them ; Eut them into a frying-pan with sufficient uttes to prevent "burning; brown them;

stir in a tablespoonful af flour; cover them with hot water; add a palatable seasoning of salt and pepper and stew them gently until tender. Or peel and cut them in small regular pieces; brown them over the fire with a little butter nnd a slight sprinkling of sugar; add iialt and peppr and boiling water enough to cover them, and gently stew them until tender; serve them hot Parsnips are not sufliciently appreciated, perhaps because of their too sweet taste; but this can be overcomo to a palatable extent by judicious cookery; they are oxcellunt when sliced, after boiling and warmed in a sauce made by .mixing flour, butter and milk over the fire and seasoning it with salt ar.d pepper; -is soon an warm they arc served with a little chopped parsley and a squeege of lemon juice.

Sew England Wages. Mr. Carroll P. Wright, of the MassachuBettH Bureau of Labor and Statistics, who is said to be a careful statistician, in bis rooent report gives some interesting facts about labor prices and com-penj-ation in New England. According to this report, in the mills of Maiue men are paid 7. 50 a week, and women get only $5.50, while the little children receive from 53.25 to $5.40, in the woolen mills, which pay the largest wages. One paper mill in Maine pays men $10.50 a week and-women $5.50, working seventwo hours a week. In New Hampshire the wages are much lower than t.iose paid in Maine, and the operatives are required to work sixty-six hours in the week. In Bhode Island tho wages are a little higher, with sixty-Six hours of work during the week. In Connecticut operatives "work ninety hour a tveek fifteen hours a day for six days and tho wages are $9 for men, $1,80 for women, $5.10 for -male children and $150 for female children, The highest spinners' waged are $6. In Massachusetts from sixty-tiMee to sixty-six hours of labor a week are exacted, and spinners only get $1.03 a day; the highest class of labor in the mills not exceeding $10 to $12 for the men. Many ot these factories are run by water powor, and much tinio is lost during the winter seasons on account of freezes, and of course the employes nro not .paid fov the time thus lost The statistician remarks that "long hours and poorly paid labor tend to bratalize," and he shows that one manufacturing town in Massachusetts supports 400 bar-rooms. Such is the exhibit of a gentleman who has no reason to misrepresent things, and it prenentfi facts which are not creditable to the boasted civilization, wealth and generosity of the New England manufacturers. New York Commercial Air verliMcr. The "laziest man on reoord" is undoubtedly a convict hi the New Hampshire State Prison who has just been sdntenoed to twenty years at hard labor. On entering the shop where ho was to work, lie walked up to the circular saw, took tko fingers of his right hand in his kft and cnt it off at tho wrist.

Carrots boiled and mushed and warmed with butter, pepper and salt, deserve to be known; or sliced and quickly browned in butter; tossed for five niiuutes over the fire with chopped onion, parsley, butter; or tossed for five minutes over tho firo with chopped onion, parsley, butter, seasonings and sufficient gravy to moistsn them; or boiled, quartered, heated with cream, seasoned, and, at the moment of serving, thickened with tho yolk of eggs. Onions are capital when sliced and quickly fried iu plenty of smoking hot fat, or roasted whole until tender, and served with butter, pepper and salt; or chosen while still small, carefully peeled without breaking, browned in butter, and then simmered tender with just boiling water enough to cover thorn; or boiled tender in broth and then heated five minutes in nicely seasoned cream. Oyster plant, scraped underbid water, boiled tender in salted water containing, a trace of vinegar, and then heated with a little highly seasoned melted butter ia excellent; the tender leaves which it often liearB make a nice salad. Somewhat liko oyster plant aro Jerusalem artichokes, which are good and cheap in tliis market Like oyster-plant they must be peeled under water, boiled tender, and then served with melted butter, or qtvickly browned iu butter, either plain or with chopped herbs, or served with an acid sauce of nny kind. Celery e know best in its uncooked state, but it ia very good stewed in nay brown or white gravy or sauce, or rolled in fritter batter and fried brown. Squash and pumpkin aro very good either boiled, sliced, and broiled or fe ed, or mado iu to -fritters liko oyster-plant Potatoes, most important of all hardy vegetables, must close the list Lives there a cook with soul so dead as not to be willing to expend all the powers, of fire, water and salt to produce mealy potatoes? If so, the writing of her epitaph would lie a cheerful task.

Steam fried, that is sliced raw, Ent into a covered pan over the fire, with utter and seasoning, and kept covered until tender, with only enough stirring to prevent burning, they aro capital. To fry them Lyonnaiso stylo they are cooled in their jackets to koe them whole, sliced about a quarter of an inch thick, browned in butter with a little onion, sprinkled with chopped rmrsley, pepper and salt, and served hot. Lorded, they have bits of fat ham or bacon inserted in them, and are baked tender. Note well that the more expeditiously a baked potato is cooked and eaten tho better it will be.

The Italian Government offers 300,000 francs and one of its wealthy citizens 100,000 more for an effectual remedy for the pest In ohdeb to have tho best success in growing potatoes, and to secure a healthy, vigorons growth aud a crop free from rot, says Thorbun, it is necessary to plant as early as tho ground can be got ready. Select a rich soil and plant in rows three feet apart, and the sets one foot in the rows. When an orchard requires fertilizing, it is best to do this all over the ground, and not to apply manure only near the trcea. This produces a large growth of roots close to the trees, for roots grow where the soil is richest Orchards need lime and osties more thou manure, and these soon produce healthy, smooth bark. A Btosian explorer who has been prospecting in tho Turkestan frontier of China reports that ho came iqion a locality where the rhubarb plant grows in extraordinary abundance and to a prodigious size. Ono root, which he dug up at random, was sixteen inches long, KOven inches in thickness aud weighed twenty-six pounds, A Fbexch statesman, after earofnlly studying the beet sugar question, as long ago as 1853 said: "The beet, requiring frequent hand-hoeing and considerable fertilizing, improves the soil. It is a fact that wheat sown after a crop of beets produces 30 per cent more than after any other culture. Inflict, everywhere that, the beot is grown the selling value jf the land has cousidenibly increased." Perhaps there is no surer vegatable crop in Louisiana aud Southern Mississippi, or ono t iat pays quicker or better than the Irish potato. It is so convenient to handle that it will always be largely grown. There is none of the hurry and worry about it that attaches to the tender fruits, aud when the crop is token early it may bo followed by sweet potatoes, turnips or oats. Osn of tho four Ayrshire cows originally imported into this country by John P. Cushing, of Massachusetts, gave in one year 3,804 quarts, beer measure, or aliout 464 gallons, at ten pounds to the gallon, being over an average of ten nnd a half beer quarts a day for the whole year. It is asserted, on good authority, that the first Ayishire coxt imported by the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, in 1837, yielded sixteen pounds ot butter a week for several weeks in succession, on gross feed only. Wiibsevbb a tree is transplanted, says the Rural New Yorker, many of the roots are injured a part destroyed. Those that remain when et out in a new place are in no condition to feed the plant as it was fed previous to removal. Hence the top must be cut back to restoro the equilibrium. Let us instance the case of a uewly transplanted grapevino. If many buds are permitted to push and grow, the growth of each at tho end of the season will bo found to be of a feeble, immature kiud. If, on the other hand, but one bud be permitted to grow, a strong, healthy cane will bo the iiult Thus we see m the former case

Whtlo, however, cutting book renders the chances of life greater and insures more vigor, we have still to consider whether a few strong shoots are not more desirable titan many feeble ones.

I do not remember to have ever seen any notion of Artemus' happy use of pantomime in his humorous moods among his friends and associates. Thero w as an unapproachable eloquence sometimes in it He had a way of making quotation marks in tiw air with his left and right forefingers on occasion that was irresistibly funny. Once he was engaged to All an evening in the lecture courao of a popular literary institution of a New ISngland city. Daring the lecture an individual who occupied a seal on one of tho front benches seemed determined to resist the speaker's efforts to make him laugh. Artemus soon discovered boiii tho listener and his intention aud concentrated all his powers on him. For a long time' it seemed as if the man had the best of it, but by-and-by one rf Browne's queer conceits took effect. Tho obstinate follow gavo way, and hughed and kicked lika a delighted scliooi-boy. Artemus celebrated his victory by coolly announcing to his a whence: " Ladies and gentlemen, this will terminate tho first act, and we will drop the curtain for a few moments ; while tho scenery is being arranged for the next act tho lecturer will take occasion to go cut to see a man,' " and with perfect sang froid he left the platform for the ante-room, where he quietly refreshed himself with weak tet. and a craoker, and gleefully told the story of his contest Half a dozen of Ins associates were sitting ono day in his room at the village hotel where ho boarded, when en old woman drove up to the store opposite with a pair of donkeys a jack itnd jenny hitched to a little wagon. Jock was tho noisiest brute in the country. He had a. voice worse than the handle of a wwn-pujnp on a frosty riming, and wus proud of it In a iiiij-vte his tail rose to a horizontal, hi nose iw .t'rinist fonvard, his lips parted and tho beast blew his infernal blast A second and third time it was repeated. Artemna quietly thought " that that thing might be fixed," and disappeared from tho room. Ho went over and appeared to make a careful inspection ci tho fore wheels of the wagon, the harness and lh-3 hitch-up, and tame back, saying that the donkey was ail right; the Unto must havo made a mistake about something. Pr?sently there were indications of a movement on Jack's port; tho neck was extended, the lips curled and tho tail ruse to the pivotal point and no further. The trumpet didn't sound. Jock thought there was f mistake somewhere hositated reilected and tried again. The front part, some of it, was all right; but the equilibrium could not be reached.! After a time another attempt was made and failed. Jack turned his head around to ascertain the canse of Uie failure, but couldn't see any. The fifth vain attempt to bray was followed by a spiteful kick at Jenny, but it didn't cut the matter. At lost he gave it up and stood at tho store door, the most neglected looking, discontented donkey in existence. Meantime, Artemus onjoyed the fun and discharged a rattling fudilode of pungent humor that kept the party in a roar and mode the whole affair one of the most ludicrous that; 1 ever experienced. Artemus had attached a heavy stcne to the donkey's tail, leaving usi play enough to tho cord to allow tho beast, to got, his tail nearly up to "conisert pitch."-Reminiscence in the Portland Pec.

A gentleman was once making inquiries, m Russia, about tho method- of catching bears in that country. He was told that, to intrap them, a pit was du& several feet deep, and, after covering it over with turf, leaves, etc., some food was placed on the top. The bear, if tempted by the bait, easily fell into tho snare. "But," he added, "if four or five happen to get in together, they all manage to get out again.'' " How is that ?" naked tho gentleman. "They form a sort; of ladder by step ping on each other's shoulders, and thus make their escape." " But how does the bottom one get out ?"

A Moorish Dufit-Man. Two things are tte rfyt eur in all booi.s of Eastern travel; first, tbe witty diarve:.--tations on small vermin, vithout which no regular book of traveli in any latitude can be considered complete; second, loathsome pictures of the general filthiness of Eastern towns, wt ere wo are led to believe tliat sanitaryp eeautions ara absolutely unknown. Wil I it be credited that one of th 3 first thing, to catch my eyo, as I looked down ini tho narrow street of Tetuan from my bed-room window that morning was a downright Moorish dust-man? Thoi s ho was, in flowing robes and white ti rban, driving his mule before bin, with its capacious basket paniers. B e lifts v p his voice iin diurnal howls, till thn ra i;d-of-all-work comes forth, bearing tho t luily ashes of her house iu a larga woodc n box, which tho Moor empties into his mile pauiers with lofty dignity, and pas Si on to the next door. In fiwt, thi.t peculiarly excellent system known to modern Eng. !ish sanitarians, if my memory serves ran rightly, as the Preston Pall Systems is in full swing in Tetuan, .tad has been, no doubt, for centuries. The dead dog, nnd festering vegetable rt fuse (in the sacred interests of truth, I am forced to make these unsavory alius ons), which, according to the foist authorities, ought to Utter tho narrow slit of street below, are as non-existcit as the sickeuiug odors which ought to, aud undoubtedly would, accompany them if thero; and to sum up, this most thorou; dily Eastern town of Tetuau is positively a place to live and flourish in, not mt rely a hotbod of plague and typhoid. Fi 11 of satisfaction at this interesting disc, irery of tho Moorish dust-man, I wa composing myself to await further revelations of Eastern life, when a heav;- bundle of fire-wood projected from the housetop directly aliove me came whizzing past my nose, and induced me So wiflidraw ho'stily from the window.
