THE ILL-FATED BROTHERS.

BY WILLIAM COMSTOCK.

Some sixty years ago, when only fifteen summers and winters had passed over my head, I was going home to dinntir one afternoon, and had arrived as far as the corner of Front and R<x>sevelt streets when I paused on seeing a considerable crowd collected in front of M & Co. ’s store. Above the heads of the bystanders loomed that of a big cartman Whom I had often seen in that vicinity, and ever and anon he lifted a rattan as if threatening some person with severe chastisement. I pressed forward to take a look at the victim, but that was not accomplished till I had got inside the ring, for the individual who had incurred the wrath of the gigantic cartman was a small negro boy—a mere child; and there ho stood, trembling like a leaf, and almost white with terror, as he momentarily expected the scourge to descend upon his head and shoulders. The surrounding throng laughed and jeered; they wore highly entertained by the terror of the little black boy. A number of sacks filled with cinnamon were piled on the sidewalk; they had just been landed from an East India rilip that lay at the wharf near by. The boys, finding little holes in these sacks through which the cinnamon projected, had improved the occasion to supply themselves gratis. When the big cartman pounced upon them they scattered, and all escaped except the little black boy, and of him the cartman had thought proper to make an example. As he stood there cowering and friendless, I placed myself at his side, saying, “Don’t bo frightened, little fellow, he dare not hurt you.” Down came the rattan upon one of my legs, and the delighted crowd gloried in finding a new subject for their mirth, while an enormous fat woman still further contributed to their merriment by placing in front of me, glaring in my face, and demanding in the shrillest of tones: “Are you a nigger whitewashed, that you take a nigger’s part ?” The little negro, taking advantage of this diversion in his favor, glided through the crowd, and, putting all his legs to the ground, got off clear. The blow which I received from the cartman’s rattan was no great thing, but the insult was something, and, as Hooked up at him resentfully, he said, “Oh, I don’t care who your father is—l don’t cure who your'father is.” Of course not; what should he care for fathers, mothers, uncles or aunts ? Was he not the favorite cartman of the wealthy house of M & Co. ? Had he not a good, round salary and a permanent situation ? Thus established for lift}, could he not afford to be perfectly independent of everybody except his Wealthy employers ? Three years from that time I went my first voyage to sea. On my return home at the end of three years and four months, among the first news that I heard was that the big cartman called Dobbins had hung himself. “ How is that?” I asked.

“Why, you see,” was the reply ; “he qad long been in the service of M & Co., and, when they failed, nobody else cared to employ him. The consequence was that he became miserably poor, and, finally, he has hung himself in despair. ” That was sad news, and, as it was a disagreeable subject of contemplation, I banished it from my memory in the belief that the fate of Big Dobbins would soon be forgotten. I was mistaken. Doing adrift in Valparaiso, three or four years afterward, I entered the navy, and signed the papers on board the United States ship B , which lay in the harbor. After writing my name, and holding a brief conference with the First Lieutenant, I was passing along the gun deck when an object that met my view caused me to start. Was I dreaming ? There stood before mo a gigantic seaman, with a colt in his hand, with the form and features of Big Dobbins. It not only seemed to be the man himself, but he also fixed an evil eye on my countenance, as if he recognized me. “Who is that man?” demanded I of a seaman, m soon as I had passed forward. “What—that boatswain’s mate yonder? Why, that’s Big Dobbins, and—” “Big Dobbins!” cried I. “Can it be possible that I was misinformed, or was he cut down before life was extinct?” “Cut down!” exclaimed the sailor, staring in his turn; and then, after a moment’s reflection, he added: “Oh, I know what you are thinking of now; ’he had a brother that drove a cart in New York who hung himself. ” “But this is the exact likeness of his brother. I could not tell them apart; and he looked at me as though he knew me.” “Well, ” replied the mariner, ** I would not advise you to cultivate his acquaintance. There may be worse men in the world than Big Dobbins; but, if so, they’ve never crossed my hawse. When he flogs a man he strikes with all his might; you’d think he was going to cut you in two. He does this to favor with the officers, and every man on board hates him. He never dares to go on shore with any of the crew. If he should go ashore, and the boys had caught him away from the ship, he’d stand no more chance than a cat in a ratpit without claws.” The time passed on, I saw many

men flogged, both with the cats and the colt, Those who were flogged with the cate told me that, after a few blows had been given, the back felt as if melted lead was pour ed upon jf; and yet they said they preferraOM ®ste to the colt. The latter is a about as thick as a man’s Generally no more than six blovffi werergiven with the colt, the victim being compelled to take off his jacket only. The cate have nine strings, which do no more than take off the skin, and leave the ba<;k raw and bloody; but the colt is said to bruise, as well as cut the flesh. Experienced hands would, when possible, put on a backer. Hearing their names called by a boatswain's mate, and expecting to be flogged with the colt, they would hastily get a friend to shove several thicknesses of cloth under their shirts. The backer deadened the blows, and thus rendered the punishment more endurable. One day I went down on the berthdeck to get something out of my bag. The place was solitary, except the mas-ter-at-arms in the other end of the ship —there seemed to be nobody on the berth-deck but myself. While I was leisurely overhauling my bag, I heard a strange, smothered sound, as of some one in great distress, and this sound was followed by the shrill cry of “ murder !” which rang through the frigate and startled every one on the gun-deck. I turned hastily, and saw two men—both of them noted pugilists—beating Big Dobbins in the most furious manner. These two men had seen the giant descend from the gun-deck to the berthdeck ; they had quietly slipped down after him, seized his jacket by the collar, drawn it over his head and face, and had then given it to him, right and left, with their fists. As soon as Dobbins yelled murder, half a dozen Midshipmen came running to the rescue, while the two assailants darted up the ladder to the gun-deck, but they were not quick enough to escape recognition by the foremost Midshipmen. Their names were immediately called by a boatswain’s mate, the ruffles were placed on their wrists, and they were consigned to the brig to wait trial by a court-mar-tial. The offense was a serious one; attacking your superior officers is called mutiny m the navy. These two men were tried and sentenced to receive 100 lashes each, on the bare back, with the cat-o’-nine tails. As for Big Dobbins, both his eyes were blacked, and his face was swelled to twice its usual size. The two culprits bore their punishment without flinching or complaining, and, two days afterward, Big Dobbins, on going to his chest, found it full of coal tar. All his clothes were completely ruined. No one knew who committed this dastardly act, but every one could guess. Poor Dobbins sat down by his open chest, surveying the ruin of all his little property, the picture of despair. From that hour Big Dobbins never smiled. Indeed, he was not a smiling man. One would almost as soon have expected the features of the stone image in front of St. Paul’s to relax into a smile as that dolefid countenance which surmounted the shoulders of Big Dobbins. In a few days Dobbins was missed. No one could tell what had become of Dobbins. Had he deserted ? “Yes,” was the general answer. Finding himself persecuted by the crew, and hated alike by the crew and officers, it was thought he had left us all in disgust. Another boatswain’s mate took his place on the gun-deck, but Dobbins had left a great hole in the air which his successor but partially filled. But a few days passed when some of us were out in the launch getting up a cage. At a little distance from us we perceived there was something on the surface of the water which attracted the notice of the birds, who kept diving down, raising in the air, and then alighting again, till quite a swarm of them were gathered there. The men took little notice of it; but, when we had finished our work, the Midshipman in command of the boat gave orders to head for the place where the birds were flocking in such great numbers.

As we approached the spot the birds rose from the water, giving us a clear view of the object which was floating on the surface. It was the blue, swollen corpse of Big Dobbins. The body was much decayed, and taking it into the boat was no pleasant job. As we dragged the huge carcass over the side of the launch the flesh tore, and huge chunks of it came off in our hands. The body was taken on board the frigate, wrapped in the American flag, and deposited on the larboard side of the gun-deck, where, when living, the deceased had been accustomed to pursue his daily walk. No one went to view the remains. There was no Marc Antony to mourn the death of this Caesar. He was soon buried on the Island of San Lorenzo, at the mouth of the harbor of Callao, where more than a dozen of our crew were already sleeping in their sandy graves. . Whether Dobbins committed suicide or fell overboard accidentally will never be known. Some of the crew whispered their suspicion that he had been gagged diu-ing the night and thrown overboard. At any rate it is very strange that the sentinel on duty at the gangway never perceived his plunge into the water. Perhaps he did perceive it, and kept his own counsel, for Big Dobbins had no friends on board that frigate.

The Colored Juryman.

Gen. Thomas Harrison, who was commander of a Texas regiment during the war, and known by the boys as the “Jim Town Major,” was soon after the war elected Judge of one of the districts of Texas. Shortly after his election he visited one of the counties in his district for the purpose of holding his court. He arrived at the county town on Sunday evening, and sent for the Sheriff and asked him if a jury had been summoned for the court, and if any upon the jury were colored. The Sheriff replied he had summoned a jury, but there were no colored men on the jury, and but few in the county, Judge Harrison told him, under the recent order of the Department Commander, no legal jury could be impaneled unless One or more negroes were on it, and ordered him to have some negroes in attendance, on the following morning, to be placed upon the jury. The Sheriff, after some trouble, succeeded in finding three or four negroes, and upon organizing the court Judge Harrison placed one on each jury. About the first case called was one against a party for murder. After hearing the evidence, arguments of counsel, and charge of the court, the jury started down-stairs to consider their verdict, the colored juror happening to be in the rear. Following them was the attorney for the defendant. At the head of the stairs (and in hearing of the colored juror) the attorney was asked by a friend how he thought the case would be decided. The reply was, “I think the defendant will be acquitted or the jury will be hung. ” The jury went down the steps and out in the yard, and upon looking around the colored member was missing. Upon investigation, they saw him making 2:40 time in the direction-of the brush. The Sheriff was called ; and, after a vigorous pursuit, Mr. Juror was captured and brought before the court and asked why he had run away. His reply was, “He had heard a gentleman say if the man wasn’t cleared the jury would be hung, and as he hadn’t done nothing he didn’t want to take any chances. ” Little Annie is the daughter of one of our most prominent citizens.

FARM NOTES.

One of the most useful implements that can be used on the farm is the field-roller. It crushes the clods, levels and smooths the ground, and presses the earth firmly upon and around the seed, which causes them to sprout and grow much earlier. Of course the ground should be dry when the roller is used. Tn very dry weather the good rolling of the ground will frequently cause seed to grow whjpn otherwise they would not have germinated. It is said that an extensive breeder of Angora goats in Texas considers it a much more profitable business than sheep-raising. This persons owns 1,119 goats. It costs SI,OOO per annum to provide for them, and his profits last year he estimates at $2,000. The meat is claimed to be better than mutton, and each goat yields about two pounds of hair annually, which is worth 55 cents per pound in this country and 75 cents in Flngland, Prof. L. B. Arnold advises skimming the milk as soon as sourness is perceptible, and to churn at sixty degrees instead of seventy, before the cream gets sour. When the butter comes in. granules, enough cold water or brine should be put in to reduce the mass to about fifty-five degrees, when, after a little slow churning, the granules will become hard and distinct, and the butter be in a condition for washing out all the buttermilk. The salt should then be worked in with as little labor as possible, and after standing awhile it will be ready to pack. Some time ago a number of Canadian agriculturists met in convention and adopted for themselves the following creed: We believe the soil lives to eat as well as the owner, and ought, therefore, to be well manured. We believe in going to the liottom of things, and therefore deep plowing, and enough of it. All the better if it be a sub-soil plow. We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it, making both the farm and the farmer rich at once. We believe that every farm should own a good farmer. We believe that the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence; without these,, lime, gypsum and guano would be of little use.

After an orchard begins to bear, the Hural World says it is a good idea to pasture it with calves, hogs and sheep. They pick up all the decayed fruit containing injurious insects, and thus prevent a rapid increase of these pests. Their droppings help to enrich the ground, and orchards need fertilizing as other crops. Few realize the necessity of manuring orchards. When once planted, the trees are to, remain on the same soil thirty or forty years at least. They in a few years exhaust the food in the soil that they are most fond of, and then they will cease to be productive and thrifty unless properly fed. It requires skill and judgment_to properly care for an orchard. It may be useful to some enterprising American gardeners to know that the following experiment has been tried successfully in England: Beds extending across the garden four feet wide were planted in spring with strawberries. On the outer sides of these beds three rows of early potatoes were planted. The potatoes were dug about the end of June, the ground cleared and raked level, where the strawberry runners could establish themselves and form a new row. The next spring rows of potatoes were planted, one row farther off, or on the borders of the runners. The gardener thus made a traveling strawberry bed, which became wider each year without planting. The third year the first plants were exhausted and were dug up, the beds thus moving slowly sidewise. A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer says: “On good ground I have raised from 900 to 1,200 pounds to the acre of good broom corn, and if the season is favorable will give you about fifty to seventy-five bushels of good seed to the acre. It is good for stock, hogs, sheep and young cattle. It is best to tramp it with horses and run it through a windmill. I have known it ground with corn, and it makes good feed in this way; have known it to bring from 30 to 40 cents a bushel for feeding milch cows, and have known it to be used for making whisky. It makes a very fiery whisky. If left to get ripe on the stalk, the brush is red, and does not sell for nearly as much, and that is the reason there is not more of it left to ripen, and use the seed for feed; have known it fed to sheep all winter, and in the spring the sheep looked well; have kept stock-hogs on it all winter, without giving them any corn. Mr. Ainsworth, as reported in the American Cultivator, says: “There are usually a few weeks during each season when butter is so plenty in our small markets that it is almost impossible to sell it at any fail* price, when it may be packed in earthen jars, and be kept in good condition for family use. Take the butter in as good condition as I have described; press it into the jar compactly in a layer three inches in thickness; cut a piece of cloth of the size of the jar, wet it in strong brine, spreading it over this first layer; repeat the process with each layer until you have reached the top or within three-quarters of an inch. Now make a strong brine, to which add three table-spoonfuls of granulated sugar, one teaspoonful of powdered saltpeter; set in a cool, dry cellar; keep it covered with the brine until wanted, and it will cut out smoothly. But if butter is to be kept for a better market, I would recommend putting it up in any sweet package or jar, direct from the churn in the granulated form, covering it with strong brine, and when wanted take it up and work it over like new butter.”

BABIES.

Their Ailments, and How to Treat Them. The following synopsis of an address before a class in a Chicago medical college upon the “ Stomachic Troubles of Children,” delivered by Dr. T. C. Duncan, will prove interesting and instructive to mothers: The doctor began by saying that the troubles of the stomach were the most important to be understood of all the diseases of children. He wished his words might reach the ears of every mother in Christendom. The doctor described the condition of a child’s stomach, its functions, size and form. Some children were alkaline; others aciduous. In the former the stomach was small, with well-developed muscular coats, and are found lifted up under the ribs in the side by the size and pressure of the liver. The stomachs of the acid children lie more horizontal, because the stomach is smaller. There were four kinds of diseases of the stomach mentioned. Acute gastric catarrh was generally the first baby trouble, the symptoms being that of spitting up its food. It was an old adage that a spitting baby was a healthy one, but it was not a true adage. The spitting is the first symptom of gastric catarrh. A case in point was here mentioned. The child was large and fleshy, but was continually spitting. The disease was due to its mother being too fleshy. A change in her diet and an appropriate remedy effected the cure. Another symptom of the disease, in addition to . the spitting, was drooling and vomiting. Now, the child is supposed to be teething, and is, of course,, neglected. It has the colic after a time, and, by-and-by, if the disease develops and -vomiting is very profuse, the child’s ailment is termed indigestion—a term which should be driven out of the country. Such children are very susceptible to colds. One great cause of all this trouble was that the milk fed the child was too rich. A number of photographs of babies were shown, showing their appearance when troubled with gastric catarrh. The. doctor next referred to chronic gastric catarrh. One peculiarity of this disease was that the children troubled with it were great eaters, so while they had Jthe appearance of thriving the mothers looked poor, and as if half-fed. The symptoms of this disease are colic, vomiting at* irregular times, and sleeplessness. Sometimes diarrhea was present, but in other coses there was marked constipation. Sometimes the colic was only after eating, and at other times existed for twenty-four hours. As the result of this form of disease there were frequently eruptions of the skin. This disease was usually lasting, and was attributed to Various causes, but was really due to one. The condition of the tongue was an index of the disease. It was broad and rather pale. The epithelial was diluted, leaving the papilla standing up prominently. The other two forms of diseases were the acute and chronic inflammation of the stomach, found chiefly in thin, pale subjects. The tongue appeared small and pointed, and redder than usual, especially about the tip. Tliis form of disease was characterized by severe vomiting and distressing colic. The disease was frequently hereditary ; children imperfectly developed are found troubled with it, and some of them cry incessantly several months after birth. The child usually has some fever, a hot head, and perspires. Sometimes eruptions on the head appear. This condition of the system was due to too much acidity in the alimentary canal. In older cliildren the disease manifested itself in the redness of the tongue, and there was usually constipation, little appetite, and sleeplessness. The mother’s expression that ‘ ‘ The child’s face was the best part of the child, ” was a sure sign that the child was suffering with chronic inflammation of the stomach. These children were frequently indulged in late suppers; they were very active, always in motion, and subject to severe vomiting. They take cold,-lack heat, and are easily affected by change of temperature. They have no appetite, no thirst, and are poor sleepers. In the cure of the first disease mentioned the doctor believed the question of food of much importance. As a rule, food given to children is too rich and too sweet, and there is a need that the food be stronger and contain more casine. The disease was sometimes produced by living on cream or rich, sweet food. To cure this disease it was only necessary to change the child’s diet. In the management of children suffering from acute gastritis, the doctor found that oiling them all over once a day tended to fatten them up and take out the acid in them. These children need a richer food, and to be fed in smaller quantities. They should, be fed with care and regularity.

Congressmen Tired of Acting as Claim Agents.

The pension business is growing to be so important that it is absolutely necessary that some means should be devised to relieve Congressmen from the labor involved in looking after the affairs of applicants from their districts. A good many members are nothing more than claim agents before the Ptension Office, not willingly art, but every one wanting a pension sends to his member instead of employing an attorney. Moreover, under the present system, if a man is not entitled to a pension under the law, he insists on a special act, so that there are before Congress bills for pensioning teamsters, scouts, and even civil employes of the Government. Congressmen can see no end of the burden of work that is piling up on them. Already some of them* are obliged to keep a regular set of books of accounts with their constituents. The Committee on Pensions has reported a bill to take this kind of work out of Congress. ■lt provides for a “Court of Pensions,” to .consist of three lawyers, whose term of office shall be three years. The duty of the court is to consist in examining all claims for pensions, or increase or arrears of pensions. Its decision is to be final, except in cases of fraud, or where the disability for which the pension was granted has been removed. If the case is not provided, for by existing law, the court is to examine it, and, if found equitable, to recommend to Congress the granting the applicant’s petition. No laws are txobe passed except on sueh certificate. . What seems to be a bad feature of the bill is that it permits the reopening by the court of all disallowed pension cases. These have been examined and adjudicated upon, and have grown so stale that the opportunity -to reopen them will make possible all manner of frauds upon the Government.— Washington letter. A thorough investigation of every portion of the Winter Palace, at St. Petersburg, having at length been completed, and the police authorities having satisfied themselves that no danger of another attempt upon the Czar’s life within the walls of his town residence is at present to be apprehended, he now resides in the palace again, sleeping, however, in a different apartment every night,

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Best quality of lard melts "at 81 degrees. Cream of tartar nibbed upon soiled white kid gloves cleans them well. To preserve flowers in water: Mix a. little saltpetre or carbonate of soda with water, and it will preserve them for two weeks. Liquid glue: Glue, water, vinegar, each three parte; dissolve in a water bath; then add alcohol, one part. An excellent cement To extract grease from papered walls: Dip a piece of flannel in spinte of wine, rub the greasy spots once or twice, and the grease wifi disappear. Recipe for making the hands white: Take some dry Indian meal, wet your hands and rub them with it; then wash them with soap and tepid water. Fly poison: Boil one-quarter ounce small chips of quassia in one pint of water; add four ounces molasses. Flies drink this with avidity, and are soon destroyed. To make paper fire-proof take a solution of alum and dip the paper into it; then throw it over a line to ary. Try a slip of paper in the flame of a candle, and if not sufficiently prepared dip and try it a second time. A Russian apothecary recommends the following as a sure remedy for corns, stating that it proves effective within a short time, and without causing any pain: Salicylic acid, 30 parte; extract of cannabis indica, 5 parts; collodion, 240 parte. To be applied by means of a camel’s hair pencil. To prevent iron from rusting: Warm the iron 'until you cannot bear your hand on it without burning yourself. Then rub it with new and clean white wax. Put it in again to the fire till it has soaked in the wax. When done rub it over with a piece of serge. This prevents the iron from rusting afterward. Economical soap: The addition of three-quarters of an ounce of borax to a pound of soap, melted in without boiling, makes a saving of one-half in the cost of soap, and three-fourths the labor of washing, and improves the whiteness of the fabrics; besides, the usual caustic effect is removed, and the hands are left with a peculiar soft and silky feeling, leaving nothing more to be desired by the most ambitious and economical washerwoman.

Diphtheritic Sore Throat.

As diphtheria is one of the most terrible maladies, a person is often startled on being told by his physician that he has diphtheritic sore throat. The diseases, however, are not the same. Neither is the latter a lower type of the former. In diphtheria, while the disease localizes itself in the tonsils—and may extend down through the air passages—there is a general poisoning of the system, which shows itself in a peculiarly depressing fever. In' the diphtheritic sore throat,, the disease is confined to the tonsils and adjacent parte, with only a slight general disturbance. In diphtheria, the exudation which covers the tonsils—and may cover other parte—is of a leather-like consistency (whence the name from the Greek word, diphtheria— leather), and adheres to the substance of the flesh; in diphtheritic sore throat, the exudation is simply a curdle-like matter which is poured out from the glands of the inflamed tonsils. At the first glance, however, it resembles the real leathery exudation of diphtheria. In removing the diphtheritic membrane, the skin is abraded and bleeds; but the removal of the curdy matter from the tonsils is like removing putty from the hand. Diphtheria is always infectious; ordinary diphtheritic sore throat is not. The symptoms of the latter are enlarged tonsils, very red, with spots of cheesy secretion at the mouths of their many glands; cutting pain in swallowing, and some fever for a few days. In most cases, only one tonsil is affected; still, even this may be so enlarged as to materially encroach upon the sauces. The disease is what is now termed “ a filth disease,” and is due to contamination in the water or air. The most frequent source is sewer-gas, from imperfect house drainage.— Youth’s Companion.

Exiles in Siberia.

We have heard it calculated by a very me derate Russian Liberal that there are at least 25,000 men of the higher ranks in Russia who are now either in Siberia, or at least exiles from Russia, and aware that to return there would cost them their liberty at once—of whom not many hundreds are involved in the Nihilist conspiracy. If anything like that estimate be the truth, the explanation of this wholesale indifference to Nihilism among the higher orders of. the Russians is obvious at once. Conceive the feelings of a Russian family the most promising of whom are either in Siberia, or in exile without hope of return, and this for no better reason than the suspicions of the Police Department.- Of course, such a family feels, and can feel, no sympathy with the authorities, and no adequate horror at the band which strikes such terror into the authorities. And tliis indifference to Nihilism among large classes who are not themselves Nihilists, of course reacts powerfully on the Nihilists, makes them feel themselves anything but outcasts, gives them even something of the character of heroes in their own eyes, since, without forfeiting the regard and respect of their class, they yet go beyond that class in the sacrifices and risks they undergo to remove, as they think, the evils from which all alike suffer. — Spectator.

Interesting Surgical Case.

The little girl, Jessie Lumly, upon whom the operation of gastrotomy.or cutting through the stomach was performed by Dr. Herff, last August, and who has since received all nourishment through the stomach, is gaining strength and flesh very rapidly. The child masticates the food given her, and, being unable to swallow, takes the chewed diet and inserts it into her stomach through the tube placed there by the surgeon. She has got so that she can digest any sort of food given her, and appears to be perfectly healthy and as cheerful and frisky as any of her playmates.— San Antonio ( Texas') Express.

A friend who had uaed VEGETINE in Ma family recommended me to try it. I procured three bottlea, and before finiahlng the third bottle found myaelf entirely cured, and had not another attack of acrofula for nine years. After that period I had to get tome more VEGETINE, but it quickly reatored me to health again, and I have not had a third attack. lam Mxty-nine years old, and since becoming aware of the virtues of your medicine, have given it to my ohildren and grandchildren, and have recommended ft to my friends.
