THE FARM LAME. BT ALFBED B. STREET. Itjopens from the farmyard gate. And dlpa across the orchard’! breast, Carves round a ledge, then clambers straight To the wide woodland on the crest. Green at the curve a thicket stands, Pillared with stems of elms and oaks, And plumed with speckled sapling-wands, Where brambles hang their summer cloaks. Broad from the upland’s brow the scene Of meadow, giove and field expand ; Grain billowing in its breezy green, And furrowed breasts of seeded land. The old red farmstead on its bank; The chimney like a tower of stone; The woodshed opening from its flank ; The barn and haystack’s russet cone. Pleasant at' eve that busy lane, When all the farm’s freed habitants Come trooping home, a loosening chain, From their far-off accustomed haunts. Her cross-step course old Crookburn points, , Through sorrel-dots and johnswort-stars, The shadows flickering in her joints, Down to the corner-lowered bars. Her red flank dark with crusted soil, She swings her end in drooping doze ; While past her, weary with his toil, Loosed from the plow, old Dobbin goes. The colt pricks sharp his speaking ear, Stamps his slim foot and shrilly neighs Beside his dam that, sluggish, near, Stoops, loudly breathing, to her gaze. The guinea-fowls in brindled spots Break os Bay’s hoofs the flock divide ; And Carlo curls in changing knots, Now biting knee, now lapping side. When the soft twilight’s am tier glow And dewy sweetness Alls the scene, Blocks of prone black, strewn thickly, show Where couch the cattle on the green. As fragrant darkness blots the lane The beetle breaks the cairn intense; The iirc-fly wafts its glittering grain ; The tree-toad purrs upon the fence. But when reigns midnight’s starry state, The beetle seeks its chink ; no more 'l'lii l igrlnwivoTtu signals to her mule; The fire-fly’s transient throb is o’er. Aud as the daybreak steals in gray The cattle mounds to rise begin ; The dark massed weeds to break awaj ; The banks and ruts their shapes to win. In autumn, corn in golden glow Hillocks of hay and amber wheat, And apples heaped in tempting show The gladdened looks of labor greet. In winter, smooth the lane in white ; The walls o’ertopped; all access barred Until the straining horses fight Their wallowing passage to the yard. liui now the sunset coloAstream ; Huddle the sheep ; in severing train The cattle pace ; all gayly gleam While crowding down the goldened lane. See, Clodpole mounts the wagon-horse Sidewise, and slings the harness o’er; Then from the near field takes his course, Slow, jogging toward the stable door. His whistle aud the robin’s lay Mingle as he recedes from sight; And now the new moon’s silver ray Brightens in gold, and so good-night. Tlic Galaxy.

A MISCHIEVOUS CARPET-BAG.

When Nathan Bossy, a round-bellied bachelor of 48, entered the cars which were destined to the town of Yuzar, and placed his well-staffed carpet-bag at his feet, and began reading the latest news with a contented spirit, he little thought what a dfty of adventure was before him. The train started, and the jolting motion prevented him from reading easily. Bo ho put by his spectacles and newspaper, philosophically—he prided himself on his philosophy; had been jilted seven times and was still fat—and indulged in a short flight of imagination, as he contemplated his carpet-bag, which contained so many useful things in a small compass. The bag was new and handsome. It was made of rich carpeting, and had a dark-blue ground on either side, with large crimson flowers at each comer, and a large white rose in each center. “Great invention,” reflected Bossy. “ Mult-um in parvo. And I think this is as lovely a parvo ns ever was made. How much better than a trank, which entails expense, requiring others to carry it, and loses time. It is much better tiiau a valise, which always remains of the same bulk. And how easy to be carried ! Ah ! how many poor fellows have traveled far with such an article, carrying their all therein! Could car-pet-bags speak, what tales of misery and mystery tliey would be able to disclose ! What talcs of miscreant traitors and treasonable documents they could relate ! What singular medleys are contained in them, yet all compacted in a symmetrical bulk ! Man <is like a wellfilled carpet-bag. Bo is the world. So is the solar system.” Having arrived at this complimentary conclusion regarding his carpet-bag, Bossy yawned and felt satisfied, and soon arrived at a city where some of the passengers were to change cars, and tiiere was to be a stop of fifteen minutes. Feeling hungry, he rose to go out and get a luncheon. “ You are sure,” said Bossy to the conductor, “ that this car is going to \ uzar ? I snail not have to change cars ? ” “It is going to Yuzar, if we don’t break down, blow up, or run off the track,” said the urbane conductor. 80, thus assured, Bossy let the pet carpet-bag remain, and went forth and lunched, while the two trains were being got ready. “ All aboard for Yuzar !” “All aboard for Loddy !” Passengers scrambled’in for their several seats, and Bossy hastened in also, not able to distinguish one car from another, Bave by the presence of the carpet-bag, which, from its peculiar marks, he considered a sure guide. “ Here it is,” muttered he, lifting it up. “I am in the right car, sure enough. But somebody lias taken the impertinent liberty to move it. My seat was on the left side before, and there I left it. Now I find my bag on the right, which is the side I don’t like.” Mr. Bossy was quite set about some things, and suspicious of tricks upon travelers, and very tenacious of his rights. The handling of his carpet-bag he did not at all relish. He twitched about in his new seat uneasily, and cast indignant glances at a lady and gentleman on the opposite seat, which he considered his by right of previous occupation; and, at lust, as the train moved rapidly away, hearing tiro supposed intruders laughing with each other, he imagined them to be laughing at his discomfiture, and he determined to retaliate. “ Who" has been moving my carpetbag ?” he suddenly exclaimed, in a loud and angry voice, and rising from his seat with a red face. Nobody answered, but everybody looked toward the angry man who had thus invoked their attention.

' l l 6ay who has been moving my car-pet-bag ?” repeated he, defiantly returning tho general stare, and then fixing a piercing glance upon the suspected couple upon the left. V ‘ It is there at your feet,” said somebody, thinking the man might be somewhat intoxicated. “I know it,” replied Bossy. “But somebody has been moving it. When I got out of the cars, to get a lunch, to refresh myself for a continuation of this journey, I left my bag on the opposite side ; and, if I am not greatly mistaken, I left it there!" he added emphatically, and pointing with a frown to the opposite seat, now occupied. ‘ * And I must say thrft I consider the moving of my bag, without leave, and the occupying of my seat, a high-handed liberty, which 1 teel disinclined to put up with. ” “I believe you intend your remarks for me, sir,” now said the gentleman in the opposite seat, mortified that he and his lady snould be thus rudely brought to Unfavorable notice. “I assure you that I have not touched your carpet-bag. It was not here when we entered this seat, and neither were you.” “Let me tell you, sir,” insisted Bossy, “ that I know you are in my seat, now, because just before you, a little to the right, is a puddle, which I noticed be-

fore, where some disagreeable hog had been spitting tobacco-juice. I ” “ Oh, Bit down, blower 1” here interrupted a graft passenger. “ We’re tired of hearing your voice. You have got a seat, and that’s enough. Sit down.” “ Not till I get ready,” returned Bossy, who was amply endowed with pugnacity, when he thought his rights interfered with. “ This if not my seat.” “ Get out of it, then. What business have yon to be in it f ” said another restive traveler. “He wants to make himself conspicuous,” said another. ‘ ‘ Says people are hogs who chew tobacco, murmured several individuals with quids in their mouths. “Put him out.” “I want my seat/’ “ Do you own this car ?” “How many seats have y o u paid for ?” “ Wants a seat and won’t sit down !” Finding that he had made himself unpopular, Nathan Bossy concluded not to push the question of his rights any further, but sat down, wrathfully, remarking that—- “ There’s no telling with what class of people one travels nowadays. The papers are full of accounts of well-dressed thieves and ingenious tricks upon travelers. lam determined to keep my eye peeled. I suppose I ought to consider myself luckv that my carpet-bag was not rifled or stolen, instead of being simply removed. Oh, dear !” And witli a yawn of exhaustion, and placing one foot upon his bag by way of precaution, lie spread himself over his seat and fell asleep. His slumber was finally disturbed by the arrival of the cars at their place of <lpflfinaf.inn. w<xk© ap, and, looking out of the window, found himself at the town of Loddy, to his great surprise. “ Bless me !” cried he, calling the conductor. “Is this Loddy ? You told me that this car was going to Yuzar. ” “ Never told you any such thing,” denied the conductor, much irritated at the charge of blundering. “You did, sir,” insisted Bossy, holding up his carpet-bag by way of evidence. “ This is my carpet-bag, I nope.” “I’m sure I don’t know. I suppose it’s yours, if you paid for it.” “ I left this carpet-bag in this car, at the time I got out to get a lunch, when there was a change of cars. I asked you if the car was going to Yuzar, and you said it was, if we didn’t meet with any accident. So I left my bag, lunched, and returned, and here I find myself at Loddy, owing to your carelessness. This is too bad—too bad !”

“It was your own mistake,” replied the conductor. “You must have taken your bag out with you, and when you returned got into the wrong train. If people will get tight when they travel, they must expect to meet with serious inconveniences. ” “ Tight, ‘"sir ? I never was tight in my life, sir!” “He is tight now,” here exclaimed a passenger, quite a crowd standing around to witness the new fuss. “He has been tight all the way, and made a row about his cussed old blue bag because he thought somebody had moved it. ” “Thought so? I knew so !” retorted the positive Bossy. “ I hope I know my own bag. Look at it. It is peculiarly marked. Not another bag like that in the world ! I know my bag, and I know, just as well, where I left it. Bags don’t have legs ! They don’t move themselves j” “ I’ll just trouble you for that bag, now,” here exclaimed a stranger, making his way, with a confident smile, through the crowd. “ Who are you?” inquired Bossy. “My name is Robert Archer, and that is my carpet-bag,” declared the claimant. “ Hand it over.” “ I rather guess not,” replied Bossy, resolutely grasping the article. “It appears to me that there is a concerted design to rob me and impose upon me. But I am no fool, gentlemen ; and you'll find I’m neither drunk nor afraid !” “You’re a sharper, I guess,” cried the conductor, regarding him with a suspicious eye, “ and not afraid to do anything. ” “Give me that bag!” fiercely demanded Archer. “ I left that bag in the seat you have been occupying, but thought I wouldn’t disturb you, after you had once got into the seat—particularly as you attracted so much unpleasant attention. But the bag is mine. I suspected you for a sharper at the time, and my opinion is that you thought the owner forgot his bag, because he had left awhile, or had taken the wrong train. It is my property.”' Bossy now grew furious. “ You lie,” said he, “ and that’s plain talk. To prove my ownership, let me have the pleasure to inform you that I have got the key. And there it is,” he added, exultingly, holding it up to general view, and then proceeding to open the bag. He applied the key, but, to his confusion, now found that it did not fit! Here was a quandary. “I must have left the right key at home,” said he, “or else somebody has been meddling with the lock. But I can name every article there is in it.” “ You can’t gammon us,” here said the bystanders. “Givfc the man his carpet-bag, and back out; that’s the safest way for you. ” “ I've got the real key,” said Archer. “Let him name the articles in it, if he can. I’ll open it, and prove that he speaks falsely.” But Bossy obstinately refused. “A pretty how-d’ye-do this is !” exclaimed lie, “if a man is obliged to tell every inquisitive stranger what he carries in his carpet-bag. My baggage is my own, and nobody shall pry into it. Let me see the man who will attempt it.” And, grasping the handles with a viselike grip, he confronted Archer, who was a slighter man; and he was now about making his way off through the curious and suspicious throng. The confidence of Bossy and the hesitation of Archer now created a division of opinion among the spectators; some thinking one was the owner, some the other, and some that both were sharpers, seeking possession of stray property, which they know had lost its rightful owner. “They ought to be arrested, in my judgment,” suggested a severe-looking old man, who had been much annoyed by the troubles of Bossy. A policeman was summoned to hear the story, and he, imagining that he recognized them as rogues whom he had seen before, took the responsibility of arresting them on suspicion, in accordance with the advice of the crowd— Bossy firmly resisting the appeal of Archer to let him open the bag and prove it to be his own. “No use. I know it’s mine,” said Bossy, “ and will not submit to any more indignities. ” They were consequently conveyed straightway to court, and complaints were made out and preferred against them separately. Bossy was charged with stealing the carpet-bag from one Robert Archer or some person or persons unknown; and Archer was relied on to be the chief witness against him. Archer, equallj suspected, was charged with stealing the carpet-bag from one Nathan Bossy or some person or persons unknown; for, though the bag had not been actually found in his possession, he acknowledged having left it in the car, and was supposed to have attempted to secrete it from the true owner, wherever he might have gone; and Bossy was to be the chief witness against him. The unlucky Bossy was tried first, and Robert Archer was called to the stand. “ I can easily prove to your Honor,”

( said Archer, “ that the carpet-bag is mine, by giving yon an enumeration of the principal articles contained in it, the which I challenge the prisoner or any one else to do. And, betides, I have the key that fits it” “ Stole it!” exclaimed Bossy. “ Silence, sir!” commanded the Judge. “ One pair of red flannel drawers, three shirts with my name on them, one wide-awake hat, one bottle of Schiedam schnapps, two pairs of thin socks, six numbers of the Literary Journal, shaving apparatus and tooth-brush, a pocket Bible, one volume of Dumas’ latest novels, three figs of tobacco, two short pipes, a large plum cake baked for me by my aunt Jerushy, a pound of old cheese, a tooth-pick, and a tweezer. I believe that’s about all.” “ Very well, sir,” said the court, “you may stand down.” After further evidence, the Judge reserved his decision, as he wished to get at the other side of the story, upon which he considered the evidence of Bossy might throw some useful explanatory light, which might prevent him from doing any injustice. And now Robert Archer’s turn came, and Nathan Bossy was summoned to give his evidence. So confident felt he that he put a humorous light upon the matter, despite his grievances, and advanced to the attack with a smile. “ I cannot say, as this audacious person has pretended, that I have any plum-cake, made by an Aunt Jerushy, in my carpet-bag ; though I wish there was, and should have no objection to a pound of old cheese to go with it; though I have moral antipathies to Schiedam , and Dumas’ novels. But wheD ootirt cumoo to take tut? Key, wnich the fellow doubtless stole from me while I was in the car, and opens the bag, it will find there the following articles, which I little thought, when I packed them, would, ever be exposed to the vulgar gaze of the world : Two complete suits of female underclothes, which I intend to carry to a lady relative of mine in Yuzar; one bottle of hair-dye, one rolling-pin, one flute, one volume of ‘Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,’ four ounces of Epsom salts, one pair of brown breeches, one corn-popper and one pair of winter boots. As the court has already beard something of the inconveniences to which I have been subjected—whether by accident or design I know not—l feel sure of its sympathies, and will say no more, except that I now invoke the opening of the bag, that I may thus confound all accusations against me, and prove the prisoner an impostor.” “Let the test be applied,” said the Judge. “Prisoner, produce the key.” Archer delivered the key. An officer unlocked the bag, and its incongruous contents were emptied out. The proofs were convincing. The bag belonged to Archer, for there were all the articles he had specified. Archer was overjoyed. Bossy was bewildered. “The court orders that Robert Archer be discharged. ” Archer proceeded to repack his car-pet-bag, when a sudden thought struck him, and he was permitted to inform the court that he now remembered that the shopman, of whom he had bought the carpet-bag, remarked upon its peculiar figures, and said that he had had and sold but one other like it, made from a corresponding strip of carpeting. “ I bear no hard feelings against Mr. Bossy,” said he, “and think it very likely that he does own the duplicate of my bag—that he has lost it and has been honestly mistaken. ” This disclosure put a new face upon this mysterious matter. Bossy now felt convinced that, after all, he had got into the wrong car, deluded by the counterpart of his own carpet-bag, which was now doubtless at Yuzar, awaiting a claimant. The court, being advised of this, allowed him to send a messenger in quest of the mischevious bag, and in due time it was obtained and brought, opened, and found to verify what Bossy had stated as to its contents. Bossy, also, was now released, and the court congratulated him upon having so fully cleared his character. But this gave little satisfaction to the aggravated man. He packed up and hastily left, and, repairing to the nearest trunk-mak-er’s, at once purchased a valise, into which he transferred his goods, and had his name marked in full upon both ends. This done, he made a present of the mischevious carpet-bag to the shopman, and with a curse upon that and all others, repaired to the depot and took the train for Yuzar, Uaving lost all confidence in carpet-bags.

Biography of a Great Stock Gambler.

Jay Gould is a native of Roxbury, Delaware county, N. Y. His father was the first male child bom in the town. Jay Gould’s mother died when he was about 10 years old, and his father has been dead about eight years. The farm on which his father lived was exchanged in 1856 for a house and lot in the village of Roxbury, with A. H. Burlians, now a resident of Cleveland, and was the farm on which his grandfather settled. It waß also the homestead of the Gould family. It can now be purchased for $3,000. Jay Gould did make a map of Delaware county, N. Y., as has been stated, but it was considered a first-class map, and was well received by all his subscribers. He also wrote the first history of Delaware county. In the year 1856 he made a map of Lake county, Ohio, and also a map of Oakland county, Mich. He was then in the map business, and made a success of it. Jay Gould’s mother was an active member of the Methodist Church, and one of his sisters married a Methodist minister. He has three sisters living who are active members of the Methodist Church. Jay Gould is a self-educated man, about 40 years old, a gentleman of sterling habits, and energetic. He commenced surveying in 1855, when about 17 years old, for Oliver Diston, of Ulster county, N. Y. He assisted him in the survey of the county, and did not receive over $lO per month for his services. His next work was to map his own county. He was engaged in a tannery with Col. Zadoc Pratt, one of the first tanners in his day in the United States. Zadoc Pratt was the founder of Prattsville, Greene couqty, N. Y., and was at one time the most extensive tanner in the world, and also a farmer and banker. He became attached to Jay Gould, and started him in the tanning business near a place now known as Goldsboro, Pa., a railroad station on the Delaware and Lackawanna railroad. The place was named in honor of Jay Gould, who was then a young man about 23 years old. Mr. Pratt and Mr. Gould settled up the business of Pratt & Gould amicably, by Mr. Gould assuming the obligations of the firm, all of which were closed up according to the arrangement without loss to Col. Pratt. —Cleveland Herald.

Valuable Invention.

A Texas man has contrived a plan for taking wood on railway trains without stopping. The machine consists of a flexible platform elevated a few inches above the height of the tender, upon which the cord-wood is piled. As the train passes, by the use of a lever the engineer throws out a catch which takes the course of a groove in which a band that revolves the rollers underneath the platform is caught, and the platform is passed around the rollers, moving toward the tender, into which the wood is thrown. After the wood is discharged the platform recedes, and escapes the cars, which $y by, and no time is lost.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around the Farm. - The Nails in Shoes. — A horse-shoe will hold much longer if the clenches are not weakened by the file in finishing. Insist that the file does not touch the end of the nail where turned down. — Exchange. Careless Use of Poison. —An English farmer recently washed a pair of his horses with sheep dip, in order to clear them of vermin. The horses licked the poisonous material and died shortly afterward. Work fob Brood Mares. —Slow, gentle farm work is not injurious to brood mares up to within two or three days of their time. The exercise for them is better than being confined in box stalls. Western Rural. The Uses of Sweet Corn. —lt has grown to be common sense to make extra large plantings of sweet corn for family use. Then there will be some to sell green if anybody has a mind, and plenty of fodder left over for the cow and pig. Dried sweet corn makes a very fair winter chioken-feed too.—Springfield Union. Natural Manner of Feeding. —ln a state of nature the horse feeds almost entirely on grasses, and his teeth are entirely unsuited for masticating whole grains. The grain with which he is fed should be previously cracked, crushed or ground, else much of it will find its way into the stomach whole, and yield little or no nourishment. — Agricultural Journal. Wounds Quickly Dressed. —I have just cut my foot with an ax for the fourth time XiJl IUJ life, aud jrrri. T lmvo ur 1« an hour’s work. The secret is in doing up the wound. I close up the wound in the blood, as soon as possible, by winding flax or tow around the part cut; I fill that with copal varnish, and in eight days undo the bandage and find the flesh as sound as ever.— Correspondence Exchange. To Take Rust Out of Steel— ls possible, place the article in a bowl containing kerosene oil, or wrap the steel up in a soft cloth well saturated with kerosene; let it remain twenty-four hours or longer; then scour the rusty spots with brickdust; if badly rusted, use salt wet with hot vinegar; after scouring, rinse even? particle of brick-dust or salt off with boiling water; dry thoroughly with flannel cloths, and place near the fire to make sure; then polish off with a clean flannel cloth and a little sweet oil.— Sacramento Record- Union. Catchino Hawks. —I beg leave to present a plan for entrapping hawks, which scarcely ever fails to secure the marauder where the proper conditions appear. Whenever you happen to frighten a hawk before it has finished its meal from a chicken it has caught, remove the remainder of the fowl, and place in its stead a good steel trap, covering nicely with the feathers that are generally scattered around in such cases, and in the course of an hour or two the hawk will almost invariably return and “get his foot in it.”— Cor. Ohio Farmer. To Get Rid of the Cabbage Worm.— The cabbage worm, pieris rapee, is pretty plentiful just now around Toronto, in its winged form. It is of a pale yellow color with some black. The best remedy we know is hot water applied out of a watering can. A little experience will tell you how much the plants will stand without injury. It will' be more than the worms can. Of course Paris green must not be used on anything of which the above-ground part is eaten. —Toronto Globe. Culture of Rhubarb, or Pie Plant. —All that is necessary is to dig deep holes and fill in with rich soil, wood mold and well-rotted compost, working it well together, and setting roots so the crown will be six inches below the surface; pile on each fall plenty of such compost. A good plan is to have frames around each plant, say two feet square and a foot high, and in the fall fill these with rotted compost; as the rhubarb grows up through this in the spring the stalks will be long and brittle and fine for market. There is no better sort than Myatt’s Linnaeus rhubarb. —Fruit Recorder.

To Save Corn from the Crows. — When I am shelling my seed corn I shell off the small end of the ear in a vessel by itself, as I do not plant that part of the ear. When I am ready to plant I put whatever quantity I may nave of this refuse com in a vessel to soak. When I have finished planting, I throw this com in two or three spots in my field of planted com. Whenever I have done this at the time I mention, I have never had a hill of com pulled up by the crows. But when I have neglected it until my com was up, they would continue to pull it if I did not give them soaked com. I have often seen other birds as well as crows come to get the soaked com until they would form a path around the heap. —Correspondence Ohio Farmer.

Baked Apples. —Pare and qualter and lay them in a skillet; sprinkle each layer with sugar, small pieces of butter and grated nutmeg; set in the oven and bake. I think this much nicer than stewing. Floor Paint. —For durable and cheap paint for house-floors, dissolve one ounce of glue in a quart of warm water and thicken it with paint. After putting this on, go over it with a coat of boiled linseed oil. It will be dry and ready for use in two hours.— Southern Farmer. Dried Corn. —In drying my sweet com, I never scald it, but cut it from the cob when it will barely do for cooking, and dry as quickly as possible. Then when I use it in winter I do not boil it but let it soak on the back of the stove. A Danger of the Laundry. —ln hanging out clothes, never let those that do the washing hang out the clothes, for while they are at the tub they get warm and heated, and especially in winter or windy weather it is very injurious to go out while heated. Many cases of consumption undoubtedly are brought on in this way.— Economist. Putting On Coal. —Wood has many advantages over coal for small fires in an up-stairs room, as it can be carried more readily, and causes little dirt and almost no ashes, while the noise of feeding the fire is avoided. The latter evil may be remedied, however, by putting the coal on in paper bags such as are used by all grocers. — Housekeeper. Wild Plum Jam. —Take plums, those that are nice and ripe; wash and put in a porcelain kettle with plenty of water, as that takes out the sourness; boil until bursting; then throw away the water. When cool rub through a sieve; then to each bowlful of pulp add one and onehalf bowlfuls of sugar. Boil and stir constantly until done. A Summer Hint.— Housekeepers can save themselves considerable heating labor in bummer by rising early and cooking the three meals for the day before 9 o’clock. Boiled ham, pies, puddings, tarts, stewed berries, end fruit, placed where they will keep cool till meal time, make an agreeable variety and save the necessity for so much work over a hot Are at noon and night on warm days.— Exchange. To Cleanse Chbomos. —When chormos require cleaning remove all dust with a feather brush, and wipe carefully with a soft chamois skin or fine linen cloth, very slightly dampened. If a little spotted or dull, a drop of oil on the chamois will remove the blemish. If the varnish is dull op robbed off, re-varnish

with thin mastic varnish. Like oil paintings, it is not desirable to hang chromos in a dark room; bnt never expose them to the direct rajs of the sun. — Economist. Paint fob Kitchen Wauls.—Paint on the walls of a kitchen is much better than calcimine, whitewash or paper, since it does not absorb odors or peel off, and can be quickly and perfwitly cleaned. Any woman who can whitewash can paint her own kitchen. It needs first to be washed with soapsuds, then covered with a coat of dissolved glue, and then with paints. A broad, flat brush does the work quickly. —Ohio Farmer.

THE CUBAN WAR.

What the Petty Insurrection Has Cost Spain in Blood and Treasure—A Terrible Record. There is a growing sentiment in Spain that there is something very wrong in the conduct of the war in Cuba, and Gen. Salamanca recently made a long and earnest speech in the national legislature against the further useless expenditure of the resources of the country and the lives of its soldiers in vain attempts to put down the insurrection. A New York Herald correspondent writes from Barcelona, Spain, on the subject: The Cuban insurrection has now lasted nine years. Nine years of civil war, and war attended with such barbarities never has the world known before. Yet such is the case with the “ petty insurrection” begun at Yara in 1868. The whole resources of the proud and haughty mother country, in men and money, the valor ot Her auiuiens imu me dhjlii 01 uer Generals, have not yet sufficed to suffocate it. When the bill of costs is footed up it will astonish the world. From official documents I learn that the number of soldiers sent out from Spain to Cuba between October, 1868, and Ist of June, 1876, was 179,875; sent out 187677, 25,000; total, 204,875 —exclusive of Generals, Chiefs and officers. In two months 15,000 more will embark.

The average of a soldier’s passage has been £3O. Thus these 204,875 men will have cost $6,146,250 in passage alone. Besides this there is the cost of those wh® have come home when their time has expired, and the cost to and fro of the Generals, Chiefs and officers and of employes. As to what has been spent in food, clothing and war munitions I have no statistics, and so will not venture to guess, nor at the pay of the army from the highest to the lowest rank. It must, however, have been fabulous. Apart from the treasure poured out, the blood reckoning is also appalling. I have before me the official list of bajas or casualties from 1868 to June 1, 1876: In Hospitals. Chiefs. Officers. Troops. Ot infirmities 61 , 457 33,877 Of wounds 2 42 718 Killed in the field 12 92 1,389 Inutiles ... 10,672 Total 75 591 46,656 JVbf in Hospitals. Of infirmities 14 163 5,728 Of wounds •. 10 170 3,377 Total 24 333 9,105 Total in hospital 75 691 46,656 Aggregate y 99 924 55,771 No official list is obtainable later than June 1, 1876. That there is something wrong is selfevident and is confirmed by the absolute ignorance in which the Spaniards in the Peninsula are kept as to the true state of affairs. Every one of the dozens of governments Spain has had since 1868 has fled from discussion, in the Cortes and the press, of the Cuban war. All alike have been cries of “peace, peace, when there is no peace.” Hundreds of times have I myself heard Prim, Serrano, Topete, Sagasta, Zorilla, Castellar, and the other men of the home revolution declare in the Cortes that the insurrection was “about to end,” was “ended,” etc.; oftentimes reading telegrams from Dulce, Caballero de Bodas, llalmaseda, Crespo, Jovellar, and others of the “Generals,” who, in rapid succession, have held supreme command in the island to that effect. The public, however, could not reconcile all these boastful assertions with the constant demands for more troops and more money, which ever accompanied them, always under the pretext of covering natural bajas and administering the “finishing stroke.” But a mistaken sense of national pride prevented much being spoken or written on the subject. From 1868 forward, he who ventured even to hint that Spain might be worsted in the struggle, or that she was not doing all that she could to maintain her supremacy, or that the war was far from its termination, or that it was prolonged through the blunders of her Generals and the cupidity of her army contractors, or of the clique in Madrid and Havana who fatten on its continuance, was instantly denounced as a filibuster. The mere application of the word sufficed to terrify everybody, and so everybody tried to prove his “patriotism” by holding his tongue on the disagreeable question. Governments, Cortes, and people alike buried their heads in the sand and became veritable ostriches in the great dangers existing beyond the Atlantic.

One of tlie celebrated Davenport Brothers, known in the wonderful “ box manifestations,” sometimes attributed to spirits, but more generally and truthfully to clever trickery, lately died in Sidney, in New South Wales. Henry H. Davenport is tho one that is dead. The brothers have traveled all over the globe together, having started in their business of giving “ demonstrations” in New York State over twenty years ago.

A Remedy that Defies Competition.

Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters defy competition. Of the host of rival tonics that have cropped up during its long career, not one has gained and retained such a large share of public favor, though many have enjoyed an ephemeral popularity. The reason is this, that whereas many of these medicines were advertised to perform cures of the most startling nature, they have, when tested, almost invariably turned out to be of little or no value, while the great invigorant, whose reputation they were intended to rival, has never disappointed those who have placed their confidence in it. It has vindicated in the amplest manner its claims to be considered a positive specific remedy for liver complaint, dyspepsia, malarious fevers, debility, constipation, and numerous other maladies arising from general weakness and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels.
