HER LETTER. BY BBET HAST*. I’m stting alone by the Are, Dreseed just as I came from the dance In a robe even you would admire— It cost a cool thousand in France; I’m be-diamonded out of all reason, My hair is done up in a cue. In abort, air, “ the belle of the season ” la wasting an hour on yon. A dozen engagements I’ve broken; I left In the midst of a set; Likewise a proposal, half-spoken, That waits—on the staire—for me yet. They say he’ll be rich—when he grows up— And then he adores me Indeed, And you, sir, are turning your nose up, Three thousand miles off, as you read. “ And how do I like my position 1” “ And what do I think of New York 7” •' And now, in my higher ambition. With whom do I waltz, flirt or talk 7” “ And isn’t it nice to have riches, And diamonds and silks, and all that 7” “ And aren’t it a change to the ditches And tunnels of Poverty Fiat 7” Well, yes—if you saw us out driving Each day in the park, four-in-hand— If you saw poor dear mamma contriving To look superDaturally grand— If you saw papa’s picture, as taken by Brady, and tinted at that. You'd never suspect he sold bacon And flour at Poverty Flat. And yet, just this moment, when sitting In the glare of the grand chandelier— In the bustle and glitter befitting The “ finest soiree of the jear," in the mists of a gauze de Chambery, And the hum of the smallest of tali— Homehow, Joe, I thougnt of the “ Ferry,” And the dance that we had on “ The Fork;” Of Harrison’s barn, with its muster Of flags festooned over the wall; Of the candles that shed their soft luster And (allow on head-dress and shawl; Of the steps that wj took to one fiddle; Of the dress of my queer vis-a-vis; And how I once went down the middle With the man that shot Sandy McOce. Of the moon that was quietly sleeping On the hill when the time came to go; Of the few baby peaks that were peeping From under tboir bedclothes of snow; Of that ride—that to me was the rarest; Of - the something you said at the gate; Ah, Joe, then I wasn't an heiress To “ the best-paying lead in tho State.” Well, well, it’s all past; yet it’s funny To think, as I stood in the glare Of fashion, and beauty and money, That I should be thinking, right there, Of some one who breasted high water. And swam the North Fork, and all that, Just to tlauce with old Folinsbce’s daughter, The Lily of Poverty Flat. But, goodness! what nonsense I’m writing ! (Mamma says my taste is still low), 1 ustead of n,y triumphs reciting, I’m spooning on Joseph -heigh-ho! And I’m to be “ finished ” by travel— Whatever’s the me anirg of I hat— Oh, why did papa strike pay gravel In drifting on Poverty Flat 7 Oood-night—here’s the end of my naper; Good-night—if the longitude please— For maybe, while wasting my taper, Your sun’s climbing over the trees. But you know, if you haven’t got riches, And are poor, dearest Joe, and all that, That my heart’s somewhere there in the ditches, And you’ve struck It—on Poverty Fiat.

HITTY THORNE’S DUTY.

“ Wo might mortgage the place,” said Miss Hitty, sighing. “And retire to the almshouse, eh?” returned her sister. “ But what alternative is open tons? Shall we allow Tom to come to grief l” “Tom rielily deservt s all the grief that will fall to his share, poor fellow. Such a schemer! Expected to make a fortuno for us all, fcrsootli, that we might flaunt in our velvets, drive our span, nud fare sumptuously every dav ! One dollar for us and #2 for himself,“ I rockoD. What should such a bey know about speculation ? It’s tho old story over and over. Speculating with other poople’B money is a little indiscreet, to say the least. I should have chosen sackcloth and ashes rather than velvets worn by such means.” “Certainly. But, now that Tom is involved, nothiug but money will extricate him. There's my watch, the heirloom from Grandma rentecost; there are fifty diamonds bedded in tho case, if there’s one—” “Kobo diamonds, every spark of them.” “ Not to mention tho pearls and emeralds,” “Doublets and split pearls, I dare Bay.” “You are so discouraging, Liddy! We must have the money. I don’t suppose that the watch would bring a tenth of the sum, but it would help. Dear ! '’’ear ! there’s Hannah de Rothschild with &2,000,()()0 of income, while you and I can’t raise $5,000 though wo should break our hearts—not even to save an old and honorable name from contempt and a foolish young fellow from ruiu. Alas! alas !” “ You know, Hitty, it might have been different,” suggested Liddy, her eyes wandering toward the old-fashioned square mansion crowning the hill within sight, with its fringe of elms and its spicy orchards beyond. “You might have had enough and to spare, Hitty—enough to keep Tom out of temptation.” “And it was a temptation to poor Tom, no doubt,” returned Hitty, ignoring the allusion, “ seeing so much mouey lyiug idle, and such a chance for doubling it over and over, as he fondlv believed.”

“ Pshaw 1 A Thorne had no business to be tempted. Was our grandfather tempted at the time of the embargo, when lie could have had false papers made out, as every body was doing, and saved his fortune, and left us all independent ? If we mortgage the place, it won’t bring #5,000; and who could we call upon to take the mortgage, and what should we do afterward—live iu a tent, gypsy style ? Oh, Hitty, if only you hadn’t been so headstrong about Searle, all this would have been spared us 1”

“Don’t speak of it, Liddy; it hurts me still. How oould I know what would be best ? ’ and Miss Hitty, pacing the ong room with head bent, paused at tlio casement, and saw the sunset reddening upon Searlo hill, and touching the win-dow-panes into jewelry. The twenty years of happiness Avhicli might have fallen to her share up yonder had proved twenty years of silent endurance merely. She had watched tho seasons as they passed over the hill with an interest which slio had hoped would die, but which had only strengthened with the years—the lovely dallying of the springtime, the summer’s overflow of bloom, the splendor that autumn wears, the white maguiticcnce borrowed from winter. If, twenty years ago, Hitty had loved Anson Searle well enough to die for him, if need be, she had loved little Tom well enough to renounce happiness and children and love for his sake, and to live on through the barren, hopeless days without a murmur. Tom had come to her arms a forlorn and helpless 2-year-old baby, without father or mother, when Hitty was 18, aud hor love had grown with her growth and strengthened with her strength. Tom’s mother had eloped with her music-master, and had broken her father’s heart; and, when the old gentleman died, he had left a respectablo fortune, tho interest for the benefit of his two living daughters, the principal falling to their children; and only in case Liddy and Hitty died without leaving direct heirs could anything more than the merest trifle revert to poor little Tom. Hitty had been engaged to Anson Searle a year when old Mr. Thorne shuffled off the mortal coil and this unjust will came to light, aud Searle himself was at that time onlv a young lawyer wrestling with circumstances; with no great amount of funds at his command. “ And nothing for little Tom but this paltry hundred dollars!” groaned Hitty, when the will had been read and the estate administered. “Of course I shall never marry,” said Liddy, who was plain and oldlooking for her years, and whose one lover hid jilted her years ago, when the bloom of youth, at least, had been hers. There wasn’t the smallest danger that Liddy would threaten Tom’s interests by marrying. “No, you may never marry, Liddy,” sighed her sister; “but I—l love Anpn, and oh I J Jove little Tom, too—my

little, motherless Tom! I cannot rob him of his patrimony, and I cannot live without Anson. How can I wrong Tom to pleasure myself ? What will he have to go out into this hard world with, if—if—” “ Hush, you silly girl; he will have his head and hands, like other men; and then—you may never have any children to stand in his way.” “Bnt how unhappy it would make me to see them enriched at his expense; to see him earning his bread by the sweat of his brow, while they fared like the lilies of the field; to have Tom envy and perhaps hate them, and feel bitter that life had been rendered so mnch easier for them by injustice!" “Perhaps they would share with Tom.” “ Ah, it wouldn’t be quite safe to trust to that pleasant 'perhaps.’ ” “ You ought not to suspect your children of being less generous than yourself.” “But their mother must have been ungenerous first, you see. ” “You have Anson to think of, Hitty, in this affair, as well as Tom. If you don’t love Tom better—” “ I don’t—l don’t; but the will has made it impossible for me to marry Anson with a clear conscience—to marry him and be happy. If he were sure of earning a fortune, with whieh we could make amends to little Tom, it would be different. But I cannot count upon such an improbable contingency. As you say, Tom will have liis head and hands to push his way, but the best head and the busiest hands do not always compel fortune ; and, if any harm should come to him from want of capital—if he should be tempted to sin from lack of money, I—l should have to answer for it; it would be my guilt.” “Nonsense, Hitty; your conscience is too tender. Marry Anson and trust to fate, that’s my advice. Supposing you refuse, and he marries somebody else, and—little Tom doesn’t live to grow up? ” “ I shall not have wronged him.” “ But you will have wronged Anson.” “Not if he—if he marries—another.”

Many would, perhaps, approve Hitty Thorne’s oonduct at this crisis, more would condemn; but she walked according to her light in those cruel days. It was no easy task she had set nerself. She was to receive no meed for her sacrifice, except self-approval—nothing but reproaches. Could she have seen all that would happen, sue might have spared herself this cruelty. And how much can happen in this time ! how much to make our wisest forethoughts assume the aspect of improvidences! Propelty changes hands, values shrink, children grow up with wills of their own, people die and make room for remote heirs, or they outlive the sharp edge of sorrow and anger, and learn to bear the burden of their mistakes. Mißs Hitty had faded in the meantime, while Anson Searle wore his years like garlands. The fortune of which her “not impossible ” children might have robbed little Tom had dwindled to the merest pittance through the knavery of the man to whose wisdom it had been intrusted, while Anson Searle had unexpectedly stepped into the possession of the Searle estate, with its old stone mansion, its orchards and outlying meadow-lands, and the income that had been rolling up since the Searles first set foot upon Plymouth rook. Twenty years before there had been no shadow of such a possibility, no dream of it in Anson’s mind or another’s. Two healthy lives had barred the way against him, but Death had effected a breach.

“ What a mistake Hitty Thorne made!” people commented these half dozen years. “She might have been mistress at Searle Hill if she’d had a mind to risk marrying a poor man. Polks get their oome-up once in this world sometimes,” with the usual charity commentators bestow upon the motives of others. Nobody had known the true cause of Hitty’s refusal to marry Searle. It had been the town talk, to be sure—a riddle which no one had solved. She had not even confided her reasons to her lover. He would overrule them, she feared, would call them absurd, and only make her task more difficult, and perhaps grow to hate little Tom—and some time Tom might need his good-will; who could till ? Anson Searle had not borne his dismissal with the fortitude of an early martyr, but he had sworn he would never ask her twice to marry him, and he had kept bis word. But perhaps after his anger cooled, and he watched her saddening year by year, some surmise that her behavior had not been dictated by caprice or any petty motive grew upon him, and obliged him to render her the tardy justice of appreciation. And a pretty return Tom had made her—speculating with his employer’s money, and threatening the family pride with disgrace. Unless $5,000 were forthcoming, there was only a fortnight between him and ruin. And Tom was only 22. They must save him. Miss Hitty was one to stand by her guns ; where there was a will there was a way, and she followed the only way she knew. If Mr. Searle, fumbling about for the reasons of Hitty’s conduct toward himself, had at length stumbled upon the clew—having an intimate knowledge of her father’s will already—and if he had not been quite heroic enough to forgive her for preferring Tom’s welfare to his own, he must have found a grim satisfaction in the turn that Fate had ordered, in seeing tho Thome property shrinking day by day, till there was hardly enough to butter their bread—till it’ was plain that Hitty’s sacrifice had been for naught. But when did ever sacrifice prove futile ? Though it fail of its direct purpose, does it not enrich the soul not only of the one who sacrifices, but of all beholders ?

It was near twilight of an autumn day that Miss Hitty put on her worn bonnet and went slowly, with a oertain reluctance, up the hill toward the Searle mansion; she pulled the brazen knocker timidly, and stepped into the house that might have been her own like any beggar. The dead Searles looked down from the walls of the oaken hall with cold questionings in their pursuing eyes; in the great drawing-room the wood fire snapped with a good will, and glinted gayly upon bronze and ormolu, upon the quaint mirrors set in garnets, upon the yellow ivory keys of the old piano. Anson Searle rose to receive his guest with a flush of surprise. “Is it— you —Hitty?” he cried. “ You?" “Yob. You did not expect me ?” “ Expect you ! No. Have I had reason to expect you ?” “Wesometimes expect without a reason. I have come—expecting you to grant me a favor.” “A favor?” “Yes. It Btrikes you oddly that I should be brought to beg a favor of you, does it not? But there is no other friend upon whom I can make even so shadowy a claim as upon you. Do you think I would ask anything of one whom I have served so—so ill—if I were not in extremity ?” “ I hope you will ask anything of me, Miss Hitty—anything you want.” 1 ‘ I have become mercenary, Mr. Searle. I want money. Liddy and I have made up our minds to mortgage tho place; we must have #5,000 without delay; the place is not worth so much, I know, but I—l thought perhaps you would take it for security, as far as it would go, and then—Liddy and I are not too old to work, to earn money; and there’s Tom; and we would all strive to make it up to you, sooner or later, interest and principal. lam dreadfully unbusinesslike, perhaps; but what can I do ? And I must have the money. I can’t live—l can’t die—without it/ Do I make it clear ?” “You niake jt clear that the Thorne iQrtvpie has all leaked away. Jam glad

of it. Pardon, bnt I hold a grudge against that same property; it has cheated me out of twenty years of happiness. Yea, Miss Hitty, von shall have the money. I have plenty; I am rich in everything bnt the one thing I coveted. Bnt I cannot take the mortgage; von shall have the money and welcome, but I can’t accept a mortgage on the old place. Miss Bitty; it is too sacred to me. Think of mortgaging the old apple-trees where we swung in the hammock together, of bringing the garden where we dreamod in the summer evenings into a business transaction ! Bnt all Hie same yon shall have the money, Miss Hitty—” “ But, oh ! yon know I cannot take the money unless—unless—” “Unless yon take the owner with it ? Was that what you meant to say? I’m sure it wasn’t; but, for Heaven’s sake, say it, Hitty. Don’t yon know I vowed never to ask yon to marry me twice ? Do yon want me to break my word, eh ? Now it ia yonr turn to do the asking.” “ I should think I had asked enough,” said Hitty, the great tears standing in her eyes. “You are not in earnest, Anson Searle. You don’t want to marry me, an old maid like me! See how faded and gray I am.” “ And if I swear I do want to marry you, what will you say ?” “ I shall say, then, why don’t you do so, Mr. Searle?” She smiled through her tears. “ What will Liddy say when she hears that I’ve asked yon to marry me ?” “She will say you have done your duty like a man!” “Well, Miss Hitty Thorne always had an eye to the main chance,” said her neighbors. “ She jilted Searle when he was poor, and now he is rich she marries him. What a fool a woman can make of a sensible man—only it usually takes a young one!”

The Edison Rat-Trap.

Yesterday a strange man, carrying what appeared to be a small coffin, paused in front of the Oil Exchange. He was a sad-faced man, and his black suit glistened in the sunlight like an armor. He put down his strange burden, and bowed to the men standing around. Then, casting his eyes up at the building, he began, “Gentlemen, I congratulate you. You have reared here a structure which is second to none in the country. When you shall have gone to that bourne from whence no traveler returns,” and ho glanced sorrowfully at the little coffin, “ this beautiful building will remain a monument to your energy and enterprise. Bnt, gentlemen, poor as 1 may seem, great as is the contrast between us, I have that in this little box before me,” and he tapped the coffin reverently with his cane, “which I would not exchange for all the wealth of your oil regions. It is, gentlemen,” and he began to unscrew the lid, while the crowd involuntarily shrank back, “it is, gentlemen, a rattrap which I am introducing for Mr.. Edison, of Menlo Park.” The crowd closed up again. “It is his latest invention, and, as he says himself, his best. I have handled a great many rattraps in my life, and I can safely say that this one knocks the socks off of ail of them. Don’t crowd np too close till I show it to yon, ” and be took off the top and exposed a box with a lot of apartments communicating with each other by little doors, windows and openings of one kind and another. “ The great inventor Darned this the ‘ Citizens’ savings rat-trap,’ because it operates on the same principle as a savings bank. You see, the rat smells the cheese and enters by the front door,” and the trapman indicated tho aperture with his cane; “thence in quest of the cheese, which is a sort of ignis fatuus, through this door, which admits him to parlor A, or the Cashier’s room. This door closes behind him, and he passes thence to parlor B, or the Directors’ room; this door closes behind him, as before, and he proceeds to parlor C, or the President’s private apartment. By an ingenious arrangement, the closing of each little door removes the cheese into the next room—in this way always keeping it one room in advance of the rat that seeks it—until the last room is reached (parlor D), when it is swung nois dessly to the front apartment for the allurement of another victim. Once inside of a door no rat can get out, but rats on the outside can get in, and do get k>, until the trap is full.” “ What’s ali that got to do with a savings bank ?” asked a receiving teller who was in the crowd. “Everything, my dear friend, everything,” replied the strange min; “because, you see, when the trap is full it closes—liabilities large; assets nothiug.”—Oil City Derrick.

Death of Earl Russell.

Lord John Russell, by which name he first acquired eminence outside of England as one of the leading statesmen of the world, of late years Earl Russell, is dead. He was boro in 1792, just as the storm of revolution broke in France which signaled her new departure toward the great West of politics—Republicanism—and gave birth to a more remarkable dynasty than tiiat of the Caesars, or any that ever ruled the world, the dynasty of Napoleon. Had he lived till the Bth of August next he would have been 86 years of age. He first entered Parliament in 1813, at the age of 21. Bis most assiduous labors for many years were in behalf of parliamentary reforms. He participated in the debates and excitements that convulsed England in the era of the Corn laws. Lord Russell derived none of his prominence as a parliamentary leader from personal advantages, which he totally lacked. Undignified in bearing, without great or noticeable presence, diminutive in stature, being but five feet two inches in height, slovenly in his carriage, he impressed no one favorably till there was a significance reached which had its hiding under the surface, and was more than skin deep. Although measuring his powers of debate nightly with the great Tory leaders, in which he had always his measure of success, yet as a speaker he never was effective. He ©wed his prominence to traits which were not derived from the schools, but were inherent and peculiar. Of these, shrewdness, from the partisan standpoint, was chief. He has participated in every measure of prominence that has occupied the British Parliament during the present century, has crossed swords with all the great Tory leaders from Castlereagh down. He has twice been Prime Minister, and has had conferred upon him the honor—rarely bestowed upon a younger son—of a seat in the House of Lords.

A Moving Event.

A letter from Chicago says: Speaking of queer things in the history of house-renting, certainly the queerest which has ever came to my notice occurred to a friend of mine, the merit of its strangeness being its literal truth. A little more than a year ago he rented a house to a party who was a stranger, but who, paying his first month’s rentin advance, and having every appearance of being a respectable man, was counted by the agent as a good tenant. The first of the second month, when my friend went to collect his rent, imagine his surprise at not finding any house upon the lot. Some time during the month the house had been moved away, and to this day he has been unable to find a sign or trace of it. I have often heard of tenants leaving a house without paying their rent, but this is the first case I ever knew or heard of where the tenant not only got away with his rent, but with the house also. They do these things differently iD Chicago, you know. . - *

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC. Sons th« Gnu. Sere I come creeping, creeping everywhere; By the dusty roedaide, On the sunny hillside, Close by the noisy brook, In every shady nook, I come creeping, creeping everywhere. Here I come creeping, smiling everywhere, All around the open door. Where ait the aged poor; Here where the children play, In the bright and merry May, I come creeping, creeping everywhere. Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere; In the noisy city street My pleasant face yen’ll meet, Cheering the sick at heart, Toiling ilia bnsy part— Silently creeping, creeping everywhere. Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere; You cannot eee me coming, Nor hear my low sweet humming ; For in the starry night, And m the glad morning light, I come quietly creeping everywhere. Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere; More welcome than the flowers In summer's pleasant hours; The gentle oow is glad, And the merry bird not sad. To see me creeping, creeping everywhere. Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere. When you're numbered with the dead, In your still and narrow bed, In the happy spring I’ll come And deck yoar silent home— Creeping, silently creeping, everywhere. Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ; My humble song of praise, Most joyfully I raise To Him at Whose command I beautify the land. Creeping, silently creeping, everywhere.

Hints for the Season.

[From the American Agriculturist for June.] TOP-DBESSING FALL GRAIN. Grain fields that look unthrifty and yellow after the drying winds of the spring will be benefited by a top-dress-ing of active fertilizer; this will help the clover and young grass. Plaster is often very useful upon young cloverfields—frequently doubling the hay crop. Thus applied it will serve to produce a good crop to be plowed in upon distant fields, where manure cannot be easily handled. One bushel (eighty pounds) up to four, six or eight bushels even may be used to the acre as early as practicable this month. EARLY POTATOES, that have nob yet been planted, should be got in without delay. With this crop earliness is a great advantage where beetles abound. Pure Paris green is best remedy for the beetle. Last season we mixed it with plaster, which is much cheaper than flour, does not scatter so much when the wind is blowing, and adheres to the leaves equally well. As it is best to be prepared for the beetle, a supply of Paris green should be procured in readiness for his arrival. HORSES. Now, with hard work, teams require good care. Horses will come from the field in much better condition if they are protected from worry by the flies. The best protection is a thin sheet made to fit tho neck, with holes for the ears, and to buckle under the throat, and to cover the back, hanging loosely at the sides to give access of air beneath. It should be held by a crupper-band beneath the tail. Too much corn fed now is apt to produce irritation of the skin, and to make the animals restless. Cleanliness will be found a great comfort to them. (JOWS AND CALVES. Caution should be exercised in turning cattle on to the fresh grass. Young stock are especially subject to disease from over-feeding with succulent herbage. Black leg, black-quarter or carbuncular erysipelas, frequent at this season, is so caused. Where there is danger, a seton in the dewlap has been found effective to prevent it. To change the feed gradually, however, is the best preservative of the health. In-coming cows that have been well fed should be watched to prevent garget. To reduce the feed before calving, and to guard the cows against lying out during cold rains, will be safe. Every owner of a cow should possess a good book on the care of cattle. SWINE. Pigs given a run at grass will do best. The orchard, sown to clover, might well be appropriated to them in part. The effect will be beneficial in two ways; the pigs will have good grazing, and many vermin will be destroyed. If the pigs gnaw the bark, wash the lower part of the trees with some thin mud mixed with cow-dung. A feeding coop is useful for young pigs. In this some milk in a shallow pan may be given them without disturbance from older ones. SHEEP AND LAMBS. The most profit from a sheep is to raise a lamb that will sell for more than the mother is worth. This can be easily done by caring well for the earliest lambs. A lamb, 90 days old and well fattened, will often sell for $lO in the cities, and half that in country villages. A half-hreed Cotswold lamb, fed now with a little mixed oatmeal and bran, and suckled by a native ewe, will make an excellent market lamb. Lambs now being fed should be protected from cold storms, and the ewes should have some extra feed. POULTRY. Young chicks should now be oming forward. As a rule, those hatched this month, if in good breeds, will begin to lay early in the fall, and, continuing through the winter, will brood early next spring. The profit of feeding hens when eggs are scarce is obvious. The loss of feeding “dead heads ” through the winter, to lay only when eggs are plenty, is apparent. THINNING OF FRUIT. Those who practice this should begin as soon as the. crop is fairly set. Others may doubt its value, but no one who grows choice fruit for market can afford to neglect it. The experience of. a single season with two trees side by side will decide the matter. Let one tree ripen all the fruit that sets, and from the other remove three-fourths of the crop. Keep an account of the cost of thinning, and of the returns from the fruit from each tree. FRUIT-TREE DISEASES. The black rot is not confined to plum trees, but attacks cherries, and we have seen the same 1 or something very similar on nectarines. At its worst it is in the form of large black, ragged excrescences ; it begins by a small swelling and breaking away of the bark. Cutting off and burning all affected branches is the proper remedy. When the excrescences are not large and few, cutting them out down to the sound wood, and washing the wound with a solution of chloride of lime have been found useful. The blight comes without warning ; we only know of it by the death of the branch, several branches, or sometimes of the whole tree. Cutting back to the sound wood, if it takes the whole tree, and burning the prunings, is all that can be done.

For the Household.

To Kill Flies. —A few chips of vuassia wood soaked in a little sweetened water will kill them. Tea Biscuits. —Two pounds of flour, two ounces of butter, one cup of milk, one or two eggs, half a cup of sugar, one cup of yeast; set at night, bake in morning. Red Ink. —Take of carmine twelve grains; spirits of ammonia, three ounces; heat; add powdered gum arabic, eighteen grains, and stir till dissolved.— Western liural. Lemon Meringue Pie, —Beat the yelks of four eggs, ten table-spoonfuls of sugar, three of melted butter, and the juice of one lemon and a half, add three table-spoonfuls of milk or water; bake in anundercrust, then beat the whites, pour over the top, and put back in the oven to brown. Liquid Glue.—Dissolve three pounds

of No. 1 glue in a quart of water. Then add slowly a little nitric acid. After efferresoenoe has oeased, take off to cool, and bottle. It mil keep two years, and is a reliable glue. —Ohio Farmer. Coloring Kid Gloves. —Put one-half ounce of extract es logwood into a twoounce vial, and fill with good brandy. This dye will keep for years if well corked. Put the gloves on the hand, and with a sponge apply evenly all over them; rub one hand with the other smoothly and firmly until dry; more logwood gives a nearly black color; less, a delicate lilac. —Letter to Chicago Inter Ocean. A Simple Work-Box. —l would like to give directions for making a work-box which I think is very pretty. Take a wooden box the size you wish, sandpaper it, and paint with black paint. When the paint is dry, varnish it; while the varnish is wet arrange ferns on the box; then let this dry, and varnish over four or five times. When done it will look as if the ferns were inlaid. I made mine about six months ago, and the ferns have retained their color, and are just as pretty as ever.— Letter to Chicago Tribune.

BODY-SNATCHING.

The New-Made Grave ot the Son of a President of the United States Killed Almost Before the Conclusion of the Rites of Sepulture. A strange case of body-snatching was brought to light at Cincinnati a few days ago. Hon. John Scott Harrison, son of the late President Harrison, died very suddenly, and was buried in the cemetery near the old Presidential mansion at North Bend, on the Ohio river, where he had lived for many years in retirement. While the burial service was in progress, it was discovered that the grave of a young man, named August Devens, who had died about ten days before of consumption, and been buried in the same cemetery, had been robbed. When the funeral was over, friends of the young man immediately started for Cincinnati in hope of finding his remains in some of the medical colleges of that city. A search-warrant was procured, and the party went to the Ohio Medical College. Before proceeding to the search, the party was joined by John Harrison, son of the lately deceased J. Scott Harrison, who came up from North Bend with the intention of aiding his friends in their efforts to recover the stolen corpse. The college not being in session, but few bodies were found in the dissectingrooms. None of those examined bore any resemblance to the remains of the young man, and the party were about leaving the building when young Harrison noticed a windlass with a rope reaching down to a lower story. Pulling away at this, he discovered that at the other end of the rope a human body was tied. The body was drawn up and the cloth removed from the face, when the horrorstrick n youth instantly recognized the features of his father, whose grave he had left but a few hours before. The long beard had been cut off, and the body was otherwise disguised, but all doubts as to its identity were soon removed by the arrival from North Bend of Carter Harrison, another son of the deceased, with the news that the grave had been robbed during the night. The news soon spread through the city, and was the subject of excited talk by orowds about the bulletin-boards, where brief particulars were displayed. Much indignation was expressed that the resurrectionists, who were evidently acting with the knowledge and consent of the college faculty, should have desecrated the grave of so distiaguished a citizen and the son of a former President of the United States. The college not being in session during the summer, there could have been no use for the body for purposes of dissection at present. The plan is supposed to have been to secure it now, and preserve it for use until the opening of fall term. There are some features of the case that are strangely mysterious. At the suggestion of Gen. Ben Harrison, who had learned of the robbery of the preceding week, a man was hired to watch the' grave, and, it was said a stone slab of great weight was placed over the opening. All these dfficulties the resurrectionists overcame with apparent ease. The watch, when taken to task about the matter, could give no satisfactory explanation. He had seen and heard nothing during the night. The grave, however, had been dug into, the glass cover of the coffin broken to pieces, and the body removed. Whether the sentinel slept through the proceeding or was bribed is a matter of doubt. The body was taken back to North Bend for reburial.

Bloody Duel.

A bloody encounter occurred near Forest Depot, Va., recently, resulting in the killing of one and probably fatal Wounding of another well-known citizen of that county. Alex. Sliey and Frost Coles, brothers-in-law, got into a quarrel on their farm near there, recently, about the heigth of growing com in the field. Coles called Sliey a liar. The latter challenged him to mortal combat, and bowie knives for weapons were chosen. There being no person on the place to act as second in the strange combat, an old negro man, a laborer on the farm, was pressed into the service and made to become an unwilling witness to the strange deed. The negro was directed to pitch in and participate whenever either one of the two combatants took an advantage of the other. Sliey and Coles were men of herculean strength, and the combat was a close one, lasting nearly an hour. After the first few lunges Coles received a painful wound in the shoulder, which, instead ©f disabling him, only seemed to madden him, and he pressed his antagonist more closely, inflicting three wounds in Sliey’s breast. At this juncture the old negro implored the combatants, with tearr in his eyes, to desist. The gladiators refused to listen, and the fight continued until both of the men fell, covered with wounds. Sliey had received four, one of these penetrating his left lung, from which he died before medical aid could reach him. Coles was wounded in three places, several of which are quite serious. He was removed to the woods in a conveyance, it is believed, furnished by the old negro who witnessed the fight. Sliey and Coles were wealthy and highly connected in the State. Before the war Coles was a prominent Whig politician.

What is doing On in Cuba.

Gen. Antonio Macco, the well-known Commander-in -Chief of the Cuban patriot forces, arrived in New York a few days ago. The General has been wounded twenty-one times since the beginning of the campaign, and now carries in his body four bullets. He says during the past six years the patriots have been constantly promised aid from this country, but up to the present time they have received absolutely nothing. The strength of the patriot army, he says, is not much over 1,000 men, but they are well-armed and drilled, and in fine condition. They have opposed to them over 40.000 Spanish troops, who give the patriots not a moment’s peace. The General asserts that there is not the slightest truth in the report of his surrender. He says: “I have made no terms whatever with the Spanish Government. I am commissioned here by the Provisional Government, and by the courtesy of Gen. Campos was permitted to pass through the lines. The war must continue. There is now no more Congress or standing Government, and affairs are under the direction of Manuel Calvar, bead of the Provisional Goyenjlaent.”

Utilising Frogs.

We have a story from Middletown, Conn., that eclipses the marvels of oleomargarine. The people of .that plaoe have accidentally discovered how to utilize bullfrogs by converting them into churners of butter. The discovery was thus reached: A farmer in the neighborhood, having placed a pail of milk in a spring of water to cool over night, went there the next morning, and found, it is solemnly asserted, instead of the pail of milk, a large bullfrog sitting in contemplative mood upon a roll of fresh butter. The sole explanation is that the frog had jumped from the water into the pail, and, in trying to extricate himself, had, by diligent and continuous strokes of his long legs, churned the milk into butter. Such a thing might happen in rustio Connecticut, but we will venture to assert that no bullfrog, however energetic and trained, or however agricultural in instinct, could in any given time convert the aqueous kind of milk we get here into butter, or even into tolerable buttermilk. Therefore, as we can reoeive no benefit from the discovery, we shall not attempt to put it in practice. We shall continue, in our usual barbarous fashion, to eat the hind legs of frogs, and leave it to Middletown to employ them as natural, spontaneous, self-acting churners. — New York Times.

Geo. P. Rowell & Co's Newspaper Advertiding Bureau, New York.

THE OBJECT OF OUB ESTABLISHMENT. Our Newspaper Advertising Bureau, No. 10 Spruce street, New York, is an establishment intended to facilitate the convenient and systematic placing of advertisements in newspapers. It is conducted upon the principles whioh we conceive to be the right ones for securing the best results to the advertiser, the publisher, and ourselves. We undertake to represent American newspapers, not only the newspapers of the city of New York and of all other American cities, religions, agricultural and other class newspapers, bat also the small country journals. We receive regularly and keep on file the newspapers of every description throughout the land, whether issued daily, weekly, or monthly. CONFINED STRICTLY TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AND TO AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. We confine our transactions to newspapers, and do not accept or undertake the management of other classes of advertising, such as books, sign boards, posters, or job printing. It is our hope that by adhering to one branch of advertising we may make ourselves masters of it. We also restrict our dealings to newspapers published within the geographical limits of the United States and Dominion of Canada. THE SYSTEM OF ARRANGEMENT FOB NEWSPAPER FILES. We have a system of filing newspapers by an arrangement of shelving and partitions, separate space being accorded to each, and labeled with the printed name of the paper it is intended to accommodate, by means of which arrangement a stranger can find any paper he wishes to examine with something like the readiness with which he would a word in a dictionary, a name in a directory, or a book in a library catalogue. THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE WHICH IT IS OUB BUSINESS TO BENDER TO THE ADVERTISER. We undertake to maintain an established credit with every newspaper, and to have at hand a schedule of the charges adopted by the publisher of each for advertising space in its columns ; to bo able to quote those rates to an advertiser who wishes to insert an advertisement in one or several, and to procure the prompt insertion of the advertisement without any extra charge for the service rendered, which service consists of quoting the price, printing or writing as many duplicates of the advertisement as may be required to furnish one to each paper to be used, forwarding the copy for insertion at our own expense for postage or messenger service, examining the papers to see that the advertisement appears when and in a manner that it ought to, checking each subsequent issue of the advertisement in each paper in a book kept for that purpose, at all times subject to the inspection of the advertiser, and marking plainly in each paper the advertisement as it appears, so when the advertiser comes (or sends) for the purpose of having the files examined (to see that the service for which his money pays has been actually rendered), the eye may light promptly upon his annouucement, without the labor of searching a whole paper or page. If errors or omissions occur, it is our duty to notify publishers, at our own expense for labor, postage or messenger, aud to see to it that the publisher of the paper actually does the specified service for which the advertiser contracted.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EXPENDED. Persons who have had little experience as advertisers often have a pretty clear understanding of what they would like to do, but are entirely ignorant of the probable cost We have made out for such a person a pi in of advertising calling for an investment of $5,000, and on submitting it for approval found our customer dismayed at the magnitude of tho exgpnse, he not having contemplated an expenditure exceeding S2OO or S3OO. In such a case labor would have been saved, if at the commencement of the negotiation the question had been asked : “ How much money are yon prepared to devote to this advertising ?”

THE CONFIDENCE OF OUB PATRONS A MATTER OF PRIME IMPORTANCE. It is a matter of prime importance to ns, for the purpose of maintaining our influence with publishers, that it shall come to be understood among them that our statements about the advertising to be done, or not to be done, are to be relied upon ; and to this end our dealing with onr advertising patrons must be upon a basis of mutual confidence and respect. OUR CUSTOMERS ENTITLED TO OUB BEST SERVICES Whenever we are doing the advertising for any individual or firm, we consider them entitled to our best services. If they suggest using a paper which we know to be not the best for the purpose, we say so and give the reasons. We often expend a good deal of time for very small advertisers, much more than the profits on their patronage would warrant ; but as tijey intrust to us what they have to disburse, and influence in our direction the patronage of their friends and acquaintances, we are content. OUB PROMISE. We promise those advertisers who intrust their advertising patronage to our management that we will not allow them to be charged in any instance any more than the publishers’ schedule rates; that we will procure for them the acceptance of any advantageous offer made to them definitely by any newspaper publisher, advertising agent, or canvasser of responsibility. Although we are unwilling to do work without a profit, and never offer to do so, yet in conformity with the promise made above, we sometimes find it advisable. Competitors, anxious to gain a hearing aud secure attention, occasionally make offers which it would advance the. true interests of our customers to accept. In such cases we hold ourselves bound to secure the bargain offered.

Extract from the New York Times, June 14, 1875. Ten years ago Messrs. Geo. P. Bowell & Co. established their advertising agency in New York city. Five years ago they absorbed the business conducted by Mr. John Hooper, who was the first to go into this kind of enterprise. Now they have the satisfaction of controlling the most extensive and complete advertising connection which has ever been secured, and one which would be hardly possible in any other oountry but this. They have succeeded in working down a complex business into so thoroughly a systematic method that no change in the newspaper system of America can escape notice, while the widest information upon all topics interesting to advertisers is placed readily at the disposal of the public.
