Asa text-book or for reference this volume is valuable. Leading Men of Japan. By Charles Lanman. D. Lothrop A Cos., Boston. Merrill, Meigs A Cos., Indianapolis. The volume is valuable as giving an insight to the lives and characters of the leading men in the extreme oriental empire, destined at no distant day to be as familiar to our people as are the statesmen of any of the European •countries. The biographies are introduced by that of the Emperor, Muts-hito. In addition to the Emperor some sixtv other men, now prominent in the affairs of the empire, are described. The second part of the volume is devoted to a historical summary of the empire. Eclectic Manual of Phonography. By Ellas Longley. Cincinnati; Robert Clark & Cos., publishers.

Alden, publisher, New York, has i issued five new numbers of the Elzevir Library, as follows: “The Cricket on the Hearth,” Dickens; “Paul Gustavus Dore,” and three of American Humorists—“ Mark Twain,” “Arteinus Ward,” and “James Russell Lowell.” In audition to the minor publications, Alden has begun the publication of Choice Literature, a monthly magazine of lie same character but more comprehensive. The price is but $1 per .year, though more natter will be contained' than in any of the tour-dollar magazines. Household Hints. Starch makes a better paste to use in papering walls than flour, and is less expensive, also; a little will go so much further. Soot falling on the carpets from open chimneys or carelessly handled stove-pipes, if thickly covered with salt, can be brushed up without injjtjy to the carpet. .To clean oil-cloth, wash with warm milk. Once in six months scour with hot soapsuds, dry thoroughly, and apply a coat of varnish. They will last as long again. To extract ink from cotton, silk or woolen goods, dip the spots in spirits of turpentine and let it remain for several hours; then rub thoroughly between the hands, and it will all disappear without changing either the color or texture of the fabric. The la3t fashion for tidies and bureau covers is to have them striped at the ends, and upon each stripe large polka dots of color to contrast with that of the stripe itself are woven. These dots can be supplied in raised embroidery, and are very effective. If infants’ bands knit cf Saxony yarn are knit with the old-time “garter stitch,” and then when of the desired length are sewed together, they will not not shrink when

washed, or at least will not be so likely to shrink much. Be careful to make a very flat seam where the ends are joined. The proper arrangement of flowers may be stated in a few words: Never put more than three varieties or colors in the same vase or bouquet, and let those colors be such as perfectly harmonize. Arrange the flowers so tfiat each one can be seen entire. In all your arrangements, imitate nature in hers. To prevent the hair from falling out. try first wetting the head at night with salt and water. Have the salt dissolved in the water, so that it will not annoy you by particles sticking to your hair. Mild sage tea is also excellent. If theae remedies do not effect a speedy cure, try this: Get a little bottle of brandy, and put in all the salt that it will absorb; wet the head with this two or three times a day. LADY DIXIE’S PUt’HO. The Dog Which Became the Companion of Lady Florence Dixie. From “Across Patagonia.” [Sandy Point is the place of embarkation, the porr, so to speak, of flip Straits of Magellun.] I had only one regret on leaving Sandy Point. The day we arrived at Cabo Negro one of our dogs, called “Pueho,” who was rather a favorite of mine, and whom 1 wished to take with me to England, was suddenly missing, Pueho, a peculiar dog, had joined us under peculiar circumstances ut our camp at Laguna Larga. We were quietly sitting around the camp-fire after dinner, when suddenly the dogs jumped up and began to bark furiously at some unseen enemy. We got tin and peered out into the dusk, but could see nothing, though it was evident something there was, for the growls of our dogs increased in earnestness and fury every instant, “a puma!” suggested somebody, but our horses were grazing quietly, so it could not be a puma. “An Indian, or some trader, perhaps:” was another equally unfounded surmise. WIA could it be? Here, as if to settle the mystery at once, the dogs rushed out of one accord, and for a few moments we could hear terrible snarling and growlinggoing on in the distance. It came nearer, and then the cause of the commotion was explained. Surrounded by our dogs, who were giving it by no means a friendly welcome, a strange dog walked slowly toward the camp-fire. It bore its tail between its legs, seeming half humbly, half defiantly to ciave admission into our circle. Its humble demeanor, however, only bore reference to us, for the defiant manner in which it occasionally bared its white teeth and turned on our dogs whenever they came too near, showed that it cared little for them. We called out in friendly tofies, and this settled its bearing for once and for all. It turned round, made one savage dash toward its tormentors, and then calmly Tirade its way toward the fire, looked out for the most comfortable spot, stretched itself leisurely, and lay down with its iiead resting , on its crossed paws, seeming as much at home j as if it had known us all its life. I ventured to stroke it, but my advances were met in a most unfriendly and, considering its position i of alien outcast, audaciously impertinent ; manner, for it snapped viciously at me. From the first Pueho made it a point dis- j tinctly of refusing to be patronized. He joined us, he gave us to understand, not on sufferance, not as a supplicant for our favors, not as a guest even, but as an equal; and this status he claimed as regards us only, for as to our dogs, be ignored them completely, though willing, as subsequently appeared, to make use of their good services. lie looked sleek and fat, a circumstance which led us to think highly of his powers of speed, as it is by no means easy for a dog to run down a guanaco singly, and most dogs who lose their masters, as he had evidently done, soon died of starvatiou. We therefore congratulated ourselves on his arrival, as we hoped he would be able to help our own dogs in the chase. But we had grievously reckoned without our host. The next day, on the march, a guanaco was sighted close to us. Now was the time. “Choo! Choo! Puchoo!” we shouted, expecting to see him speed out like an arrow after the guanaco. But nothing could have been further from his thoughts. He looked first at us and then at the guanaco for a moment, not without interest, perhaps, but certainly without showing the slightest indication to hostile demonstration. Then with another look at us which said as plainly as words could: “Well, that’s a guanaco, no doubt, but what then?” he quietly trotted on. We were very angry at seeing our hopes deceived, besides being surprised at his extraordinary demeanor; but Gregorius, an Indian hunter and guide, giving the dog the benefit of the donbt,.said that perhaps it had only been trained to run ostriches, as the Indians frequently train their dogs to do. This seemed plausible enough, and our confidence in Pueho was momentarily restored. Presently an ostrich started up. Now then: “Choo Choo! Pueho!” was the excited cry again. All the other dogs flew out like the wind after the bird and Pueho followed them, but only at a trot, and apparently, merely to judge how the other dogs behaved, for he soon stopped and contented himself with watching the chase until it disappeared from view, and then he came back to his usual place at my horses heels. Everypody was enraged with him; Francisco suggested that, being a “bouche inutile,” Pueho ; should be knocked on the head with the bolas, but I could not hear of this, and Pucho’s life was spared. And so he remained with us, and I had ample opportunities to study his peculiar character. As on the first day, so he continued. Although generally here or thereabouts when a distribution of the spoils took place, he never once helped the dogs in th*e chase. That this did not arise from inability or want of speed, but rather from a sense of his own superior dignity, was shown by the fact that he once was seen to pursue and capture a fox, a feat none of our other dogs were capable of. Among other peculiarities he had a mysterious way of disappearing if the 'lay’s march was too long. “Where is Pueho?” was a frequent cry, and “Thank God, he’s gone at ’ last,” an ejaculation as often heard. But, so soon as the guanaco rib for dinner was done to a turn, the soup ready and the fire blazing comfortably, so sure would Pueho suddenly appear on the scene, look out for the most cosy spot near the fire, and cheerfully wait his supper, as if nothing had happened. When, therefore, he was missing at Cabo Negro, I took little notice, thinking he would be sure to turn up. But dinner-time came, and no Pueho; nor did he appear again, even when he went to Sandy Point. This was the thought that was troubling me ns we walked down to the pier, for 1 had taken a liking to the dog, or. I had better say, I held him in reverential awe; for I think lie would object himself to the term “like,” as savoring of patronage. Half absently, therefore, before going down the ladder into the boat, I turned round to take a last look for Pueho. Surely that is a dog coming down the street. I thought, as I looked up: and right enough, it was a dog, and what is more, Pueho himself! There was no mistaking the calm mien; the leisurely trot. He picked his way along the battered pier, half wagging his tail as he saw me—a great condescension, and then, without a moment’s hesitation, led the way down the ladder into the boat. I took him, or rather lie came to England with me, and as I write he is sitting in the cosiest corner .by my fire, a privilege lie allows my pet terrier to share with him, an act very foreign to his usual nature, and one for which 1 have never been able to account.

parted this life, but it will be news to many that she selected a remote corner of tho country of Latter-day Saints for her home, and that she was a Mormon, dying in the odor of sanctity and the hope of a “blessed resurrection,” THE FIRST TELEGRAPH. Remarkable Scene ii the Capitol When the First Message Was Received. Philadelphia Times. In May, 1844, it was announced in Congress that on tiie opening of the Democratic national convention at Baltimore the new telegraph lines would be ready for business. The Washington terminus was in owe of the rooms of the Capitol. When the day announced arrived a few of the members of Congress assembled in that room, I among the number. After waiting a considerate time, amid expressions of hope or dou<>t from the friends or critics of the inventor, ail talk was suddenly checked by the clicking of the machine. An impressive silence of several minutes followed. The machine worked! Finally the operator read with considerable solemnity the first message ever received: ‘“What hath God wrought?” All were awe-strieken for a moment. It has always been a pleasant memory that I was present. Silence was followed by expressions of admiration. Then a few gentlemen boldly denounced the message as a trick. Some warm words were spoken. But iu the course of an hour the proceedings from the national con--1 vention began to arrive- The unbelievers | continued to doubt. No decision could be i reached until the morning papers were received. It is needless to say that the tele--1 graphic messages were fully substantiated. This wonderful scene continued each day during the session of the convention at Baltimore, closing with the nomination of James j K. IV,lk. This result was so unexpected as I to carry conviction. Then there were only forty miles of telegraph; to-day there are ; over 800,000 miles in operation. I saw the beginning—it was onlv thirty-nine years ago. Farm Notes. Dr. Sturdevant says that potash, whether in the shape of woodashes or in the form of sulphate or muriate, is a special fertilizer for melons. Give all your farm implements a good coat of paint before the time comes to use them. It is the best preserver of all wood and iron exposed to the weather, and costs but little. No investment pays better. l’oultry per pound, let the breed be what it may, will cost very near the same. One bushel of corn will produce nine to eleven pounds of poultry. It makes no difference whether Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks or Brahmas eat the corn. Many farmers in northwestern lowa use hay as fuel, cut from the prairie, dried, and twisted up nut-cake fashion. It is even used in brick-kilns, and economically. It can be gathered and stacked for sixty cents a ton, and thus is said to be cheaper than wood at $2 a cord. The sudden changes in the weather, common this month, are hard on the young lambs and pigs, and both, if exposed to severe storms, are liable to become diseased, or, Qt most, so stunted in their growtli that they •never fully recover from it. It is good economy to provide warm and comfortable quarters. Much sickness is caused by the odor arising from decaying vegetable matter in cellars beneath living-rooms of the house. It should be removed at once, and the windows and cellar door be thrown open daily when the temperature is above the freezing point. It is cheaper to do this than to pay doctors’ bills. There are said to be fifty injurious insects in our vegetable gardens; fifty in our vineyards, while seventy-live attack our appletrees and more than fifty our grain fields. Seventy-five million dollars is estimated as the damage done to the wheat in Illinois in one season, and nearly ten years ago the annual loss in the United States from insect depredations alone was estimated at nearly £100,000,000. The National Tribune says: “It is not generally known that sorghum is valuable for grazing purposes. It growsquickly after being eaten down, and branches out into a number of succulent shoots/which are highly relished by live stock of all kinds. With a patch of rye sown in the fall, which will afford good crazing until midsummer, supplemented by a sowing of sorghum in May, a supply of succulent pasture may be secured equal in value to any mixture ofc other kinds of grasses and clovers. The selection of suitable stocks for grafting is a matter still requiring much scientific experiment. The object of grafting is to expedite and increase the formation of flowers and fruit. Strong-growing pears, for instance, are grafted on the quince stock, in order to restrict their tendency to form “gross” shoots and a superabundance of wood in place of flowers and fruit. Apples, for the same reason, are “worked” on the “paradise” stocks, which, from their influence on the scion, are known as dwarfing stocks. Scions from a tree which is weakly or liable to injury by frosts, are strengthened by engrafting on robust stocks. Limilev has pointed out that while in Persia, its native country, the peach is probably best grafted on the peach, or on its wild type, the almond, in England, the summer temperature of whose soil is much lower than that of Persia, it is most successful on stocks of the native plum. Immense Estates ia Mexico. San Francisco Alta. Much has been said and written of the great extent and large possibilities of Mexican haciendas. But probably few people in the United States even yet realize the extent of some of these tracts of land, where a million or a million and a half of acres often constitute a single estate in the hands of one owner. There are many such estates in Mexico, large enough to j hide away many a European prin- ! cipality. large enough to a waken the j envy of many a land proprietor in the PaI cific coast States of the Union. These are | to be found in many of the central and j northern States of Mexico. The famous ! Salado ranche, for example, contains over j 000 square miles of land. It lies partly in | the States of Nueve Leon, Coahuila, ZacateI cas and San Luis Potosi, on the highway to * Mexico, and on the line of the new railroads. ! It occupies the central table lands of Mexico !at an average elevation of 4,000 feet. Chains | of mountains traverse the estate, rich in mineral wealth. The boundaries of the estate extend more than one hundred miles : from north to south, and flourishing farms ' and large mining towns are met at frequent intervals. v The Marion Triiat Company. The Collier habeas corpus case, which liad been Bet for liearing yesterday morning, was postponed mini afternoon, and becuuso of the non-appearance of Judge Heller it was again deferred until this luorniug. The Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat is making a strong fight against tho “Local Uniou” of the Marion Trust Company that is established there, and in an interview s . h John 11. Wright, the secretary, who formerly livod here, the latter disclaims any connection between his scheme and tlie broken concern in thin city. He in doing a great business there, and the majority of his patrons are working women, sewing girls and common laborers. The Globe-Democrat will accomplish a groat work if it can drive the “Uniou” out of existence, as the Journal did the Trust Company here. _ A ratiier cynical lady, somewhat of a flirt, nays most men, like colds, are very easily can cht but, diflioult to get rid of.

It will be read with interest and gratification by Mrs. KV numerous friends in this city: “The opera-house was filled last night by the citizens of New Albany on the occasion of Mrs. Eva Kirtland’s readings, or, more properly, recitations. The Ledger has already spoken of the merits of Mrs Kirtland as an elcqutionist. It may be added that she never appeared to better advantage, nor acquitted herself with more cultured skill or natural self-appreciation of the parts represented t han last night. Her finished elecution, full and musical voice, wonderful delineation and fine personnel captivated her large und intelligent audience, and won for her the most favorable criticism. There are few American ladies, even among professionals, who surpass Mrs. Kirtland in elocution or equal her in naturalness ami grace of action. She made a decided success last night.” THE CITY IN BRIEF. A case of measles is reported at No. 356 North Noble street. The classical school entertainment takes place at English’s to-night.
