MEMORIAL HALL, . The following poem was read by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes at the dedication of Memorial Hall at Harvard College, which is consecrated to the memory of those sous of Harvard who died in the service of their country during the late war: j. . Where, girt around by savage foes, : Our nurturing Mother's shelter rose, , Ilehold. the lofty temple stand, , ' , Reared by her children's grateful viands; Firm are the pillars that defy The volleyed thunders of the say : t .Sweet are the summer wreaths that twine With bad and flower our martyr's shrine. '

The hoes their tattered eolor bore Kall mintr'imr on the sunlit floor. !

Till evening spreads her spangled paH, , And wraps in shade the storied hall. j'. ...... ; ' Ftrm were their hearts In danger's honr, " Sweet was their manhood's morntnir flower ! Ttielr hopes with rainbow hues were bright How swiftly winged the sadden Bight! O, Mother! on thy marble pa?e ' The children read, from age to age. The mighty word that upward leads Throjgb noble thought to nobler deeds. . : Truth, neaven-born Truth, their fearless gnlde, The saints have lived, thy heroes died! . Our love has reared their earthly shrine. Their glory be forever thine ! HOME AND FARM NOTES.

It will pay to give hired hands a lunch at 10 o'clock a. m.j and to rest a lull hour at noon. i ' Cut grass for hay while it is in bloom. "What is lost in weight. If anything, is made up in quality. Some farmer would do well to make a 1 record of the time spent in town. They say that loafing in town ruined farmer Scroggins. . One advantage of cultivating flowers and small fruits, is that it leads to a Labitof more thorough tillage which is not a bad thing fur regular farm crops. Thoroughbred bulla are sold at very low figures. It is the last extreme of stupidity lor farmers to use any other. The negligence which permits that will be sure to keep any man poor. . The greatest obstacle to dairying in this latitude is the hot summer. The prime object here is to fortify against heat and a certain naetiness in the atmosphere that is ruination to milk, i In building a dwelling, devote study, expense, everything to the kitchen and its related conveniences, take good care with the lodging rooms, but let the care about parlors come last and least into the account. Potato Bros. The Martin county Herald has this: A friend of ours tell.- us that whenever there is peafowls on a farm the potato bug does not affect the potatoes. He v says that he has noticed this particu larly for a nurater of years, and that in all cases ' where peafowls were kept on the farm the - yield of potatoes was abundant, while the " bug were eating up the potatoes in the same neighborhood. But the question will recur: Is not the remedy worw than the disease? Apple Tree Borer. An Iowa man writes to the Inter-Ocean: I will give you the best method of destroying this terrible pest of the orchard that was ever discovered, and I claim the honor of the discovery, in this part of the world, at least. The old way of cutting the borer out was a slow one, and often the trpo would bo completely girdled betöre the little Tascal was captured. My method U to take a common syringe, fill the cyiinder with turpentine or kerosene oil: place the nozzle of the syringe to the place where the borer entered the tree, and with a quick movement force tb oil or turpentine into the little villain's hiding-place, and, my word for it, he won't need another doe. Fish and Bbaixs. Prof. S. W. Johnson makes light ol the notion that eating fish is specially beneficial to thejbrain. And he . tLrowsoutin the Tribune this bold banter: With your permission I will challenge those who know now to feed brains to disprove the following propositions, one or all: 1. There is no evidence sufficient to demonstrate that fish is better brain food than flesh, fowl, or grains. 2. There is no evidence that fish contains more phosphorous than flesh, fowl, or grains. 3. There is no proof that if fish did contain mora phosphorous than . other food3 it would sustain brain labor or restore brain waste any better on that account. 4. There is no food that contains so much as one-half per cent, of phosphorus except bones and rat paste. ' Bread Pcddino. Somebody says this

- is an excellent way to do it: "Take about eight slices pf stale light bread, put it in a pan, and pour over it sufficient cold water to cover it; when quite soft, pour the water off and squeZ9 the bread quite dry, first removing the brown crust; then take one quart of sweet milk and add gradually to the bread, stirring it well,' that no lumps remain: add one teaspoonful of salt; then take six eggs, beat them up light, and stir them in the mixture last; pour them into a well buttered pan, and bake three-quarters of an hour in a hot oven. Make a rich sauce of butter, sugar, and cream, flavored with nutmeg." Sarcastical. The Tribune says: Apropos of the interest felt in the cultivation ol the peanut, Mr. Fuller suggests, with mild sarcasm, that "our commissioner of agriculture might be persuaded to purchase a few thousand bushels for distribution as choice seed among the people of the Northern states where peanuts do not thrive. If a supply was furnished it would not be incumbent upon the receiver to plant them; lor they are very palatable when well roasted. When the first lot has been disposed of, write for more, because the business of the department is to supply the people with free seeds, and as peanuts are seedi?, why not add them to the list?" Sure nougb. , Filth Fever. Sir William Gull, in a lecture on typhoid fever, recently delivered at Guy's hospital, argues that the disease is as preventable as ague, and that the time will come when deatÜ from it will be as rare. He says it is caused by a virus of nature, wh!ch may get into the healty body, increase m it and destroy it. It is an accidental condition and not one of tho ordinary processes of nature. The origin of the disease is somehow or other connected with drainage: it has therefore been called the lllth fever, and to get rid of the filth is to get rid of the lever. Dr. Guy asserts that no one can approach a case ot typhoid fever without paying some attention to hygiene. This, ne claimed, was of the greatest importance, and with it be would prefer to cany any one through the disease by wines and soups

and iresh air. ratter than by the use of

drugs. Prize Butter Essay. "A Working Farmer" m Moore's Ilural sweeps the board lor all the prizes. His essay is short and comprehensive : Take the milk from nice,healthy cows, which have grazed on some young, living green grass, growing on some very old sod ; put in very svreet and clean bucke:s and strain Into any clean pans; size no object, so that they are kept cool by water, air

or ice ; skim just before the milk is sour and churn twice per week. Keep the dairy ,summer and winter, at from fifty degrees to sixty degrees temperature. In wiuter feed the cows with hay made from grass cut while in bloom, wheaten bran, marigolds; or carrots; and in addition to i all thee varieties. don't . be afraid ot adding the liberal-minded allowance ol three quarts of corn meal. Let the cows run in the yard every day with an open shed around the north east and west sides and have in racks, every day, where the cows can eat at the same time without horning each other, either sweet corn stalks, oat 3traw, barley atraw, or hay of a diflcrent quality to wnat they cot In the stable; keep tne stable about the same temperature as he dairy. , Kecollect there Is more depends on the cows being kept comfortably and happy than in modern manipulation of butter, etc.. and rest mnrfHl that many of our grand mothers and great-grandmothers' good, old-fashioned ways are riot yet excelled. , - ' - l ! . V " ' Better than Drainage. P. Whiting gives a lesson in the Tribuneon an important subject, which Is exhaustive and . the only sound doctrine: I can tell my; experience of many years, and the results are so satisfactory that were I assured that 50 years more are to be allotted me I would continue the sj stem till science or sagacity demonstrated a better. The earth closet is over a stone vault 5x6 feet, and 2X feet deep, the bottom even with the surface of the earth, and flagged with flat stone. It is not located at the remotest corner of the faim or garden even but so near the rear hall and kitchen ' doors as to be accessible in all weathers, night or day, without stepping on the ground. At the outset it has a thin covering of coal ashes or fine earth, one half inch, over the bottom. I suppose one or the other of these can be found in most country places. From day to day dust or coal ashes not wood ashes are thrown upon the fec?l matter. Road dust is excellent as an absorbs nt. Into tLe vault are thrown chamber emptyings, sweepings of carpets, refuse f-jathers, and chicken's oflals. For convenience the whole top ot the seat has hinges so that it can be raised, as well as the separate covers, so as to save them from being fouled with ashes, etc. Of course the top and the covers ryust b9 kept closed. A door is on the rear side of tho vault, with a good fit, and the contents to be shoveled out occasionally two or three times during summer in cool weather needs it less frequently. The more frequently it is done the less ashes or" dry d ust are needed, and less liable to become offensive. I have a bin under coyer at the barn where I throw the contents df the vault, and near the hen roost, the droppings of which are mingled with the other. Two or three days before using they are shoveled over and mixed, and soon heat, and when shoveled into cart or wheelbarrow become1 well pulverized, and are the most valuable fertilizer of the farm. These accumulations from only small establishments amount to forty or fifty barrels annually, and the shoveling i9 less ofieusive than a horse or cow stable. Above in the closet it Is very seldom that any unplessant odor is detected. Soap suds are carried out in pails immediately after washing, and all fruit trees and vegetables, houe plants, flowers and lawn are fertilized with them as systematically as any crop on my "tenacres" Iftheideaof such care and labor, with freedom from malaria and lever, is more repulsive than neglect and resulting intensified nuisance, then there is no room for further discussion.

THE ABOVE CUT. rtKPItEsKNXs'

GOLDSMITH MAID. THE WOSDEKFt'L MARE HER YOlTTIIFfn CAPERSHOW SHE Rod K TO FAME AND VALUE. The Evansvllle Journal, by way of advertising the kwn and its coining race on July

2, gives a capital and lively sketch of the noted mare. It la full of interest ami claims to be an authentic history: It seems that the "Maid" was a wayward child. From the date of her birth, on the farm of John B. Decker, in . Wautage township, Sussex county, N. Y., in the spring of 1SÖ7, to he age of six years she distinguished herself in many ways, but never as a trotter. She was undersized, nervous and fretful, and utterly refused heavy farm work. Mr. Decker, her owner, says he never got any work out of her but twice one-halt day in plowing corn, and one half day in drawing stones. Once she was hitched to a harrow, but after a short distance she reared backwards and entangled both her hind legs in the cross piece of the harrow, and so injured those members that when she goes out for her morning walks.it is said, she still shows signs of stiffness behind, caused by this fall in her early life. From the time she was two or three vears old until Mr.

Decker sold her at six, she was used as a race horse, though without her owner's knowledge. The boys on the farm, of course, as all boys do, were anxious to know which was the speediest horse, and at an early day they found that it was the "Maid." And so after the "old man" had gone to bed, they would take her out of the pasture or stable, whenever a race could be made up, and nm her on the read after night. She beat every thing that could be brought to run with her, so that finally none bat the uninformed from a distance could be found to bet against ber. These races were made up at the country stores and lounging places in the evening after farm work was over, and the race was run the same night, after the "old man" had gone to bed. No training, no grooms, no jockeys, no weight for age just a man or boy in his bare feet mounted bare-baeked,with his toes hugging themare's belly like a leech, was the style; and the "Maid" no doubt enjoyed it more than she has some of her late races in the trotting ring. One of the most singular freaks of the CRAZY-HKADED MTTLE MARE,

during her farm life was a habit she had ol

taking a monthly trip through the country. About once a month, no matter how high the enclosure, she would break from her pasture and go sailing over the neighboring farms, leaping and flying over fence-, ditches, stone walls and streams, through fields ot growing crops, meadows, woods, and pastures, up steep hills and down, until making a circuit generally of about six miles, she would fiuallv lard in the field from which she started, behaving herself afterwards in a steady manner, until the next run. The time that : s.e would be out daring theso trips was generally about forty minutes. A few stops uy the way to have a little gotsip with her neighbor, probably accounted for the time being as long as nix minutes. This story might be hard to believe if it were not vouched for by those living in the neighbor? hood, who were so often eye witnesses to this strange habit. One day," in the summer of 1S3, twp men were out buying hores for the army, and stopped all night at Mr. Decker's" and in the morning bought the "Maid" of him for ?200 and started for home, leading the mare behind them. On their way they mot a Mr, Tomkina, who knew the little mare, and bought her of them for $360. The two men also knew her and wre aware that the mare had gieai speed, and believed that she could be made a trotter, but were willing to make a hund-ied dollars by their morning's bargain. The next day Tomkins sold hereto Alden Goldsmith, an excellent judge of horseflesh, of Blooming Grove, Orange county N. Y., for JJ600. From him she took the name of Goldsmith Maid. He kept her in pretty steady training under s driver named William Bodine, to whom, more than any other living man, should be

awarded tbe credit of first bringing the mare out. The renowned Kudd Doble, who now drives her so handsomely, had not then even seen or heard of her. While in training for the tuotting course she was so fretful and irritable, S(t determined to run

at every possible opportunity, instead of

trotting, so hard to bring to a trot after breaking from that gait, that Mr. (ioldsmith many times determined to GIVECI'TriK TRAINING,

and sell her at any price; but his driver maintained his abiding faith

and assured hi3 employer that she was the fastest animal on his premises, and would come out at last a great trotter, and finally persuaded him to keep her, which he did until this driver brought out her point that Mr. Goldsmith, in Xovem ber, 1S68, sold her to Ii. Jack man and lindd Doble for 20,000. These gentlemen sold her to Mr. H. N. Smith for the sum of 37.000. Mr. DoLle still drives her. She made her first appearance in' public, . August, 1265. When she trotted in 2:17 at Milwaukee, September 6, 1S71," there was great excitement everywhere among horseuen. The majority doubted the length of the track and the time. But the track was measured afterward by competent engineers, wh testified under oath to its being a lull mile in length when measured three feet from the inside rail; and the accuracy of the tim was established beyond dispute. Ever since then vast crowds have attended all her races. . The excitement about her was . so great when she trotted at Minneapolis, Minn., that a premium of $15 was freeiy given for reserved seats. Since her last great achievement at Mystic l'ark in 2:1(J, this excitement is again revived, and wherever she trots people throng for hundreds ol miles to see her ereat teats. The horse that csn press ber the closest, and one that may eventually far surpass her, is J udge Fulferton. He seems tr le gaining on her inch by inch, and lately at Prospect Park he took a heat from her in 2:19. The Maid is now no longer pulled when she trots with Fulierton, as she formerly was with Lucy;, but each horse now honestly trots for the first money, and Doble finds that he must drive the Maid for all there is in her if he would win, wi h Fulierton and Dan Mace agiinst him. At their great coming contest on the 2d of July at Kvansville, on the beautiful springy half mile track there, with its easy high outrides on the turns, and its magnificent stretches, pplendid trotting may be looked for, and a "red hot" contest lur the first money in the purse of $.,000. Many old hoitemea believe that Fulierton will w in.

SELF-MARRIED. TlIERi; ARE ANGELS HOVERING AROUND TWO BODIES SPIRITUALLY ONE. From an Occasional Correspondent ol tfce Sentinel. Salem, Ind., June 2L Our little city is again tne theater of an unusual, not to say exciting, occurrence; this time net in the shape of a blood -curdl ing murder or an execution by a mob, but a real live genuine sensation in our social circles. Of late we have been quite frequently visited by a venerable gentleman hailing from about the f.tlls of thöOhio, Gardner Knapp byname aged abont 70 years, about six and one-half feet high, with long and luxurious beard find thin locks of grey hair, with lofty and dignified bearing, and walks as erect and straight as a North American Indian. Ileisandhas long been known as a genuine spiritualist, one that professes to hold direct communication with the spirit world. His yi-its to this place have been made for the obvious purpose of paying court to a

distinguished young lady of this vicinity, Miss La Mira P. llobbs, daughter ol Dr. Seth Hobbs. This family are also well known as spiritualists. Miss Hobbs is aged about 32 years. Ol last evening Mr. Knapp invited the guests at the Hungate House and a few select guests, and when they had assembled in the parlors ot the hotel, without either license, judicial officer, or priest, the marriage ceremony, according to their views, was performed as follows : Friends and fellow citizens, ladies and gentlemen: We, Gardner Knapp and La Mira P. Hobbs, believing that our hearts and souls are already matrimonially united, appear before you now thus publicly to celebrate the consummation ot our union. We hold the opinion that neither cliurch nor state has any moral or equitable right to interfere with, or any just claim to be consulted in reference to the arrangements that our spontaneous sentiments and sympathies have prompted us to make. "Therefore, in non-conformity to and disregarding the rules and regulations in such caie made and provided by what is called society, we adopt such form as to our Judgments and consciences seem most just and proper. And now, in the presence of these witnesses and of our invisible spirit friends here assembled, we proclaim, publish and declare ourselves husband and wife: and may God and the angel world add their blessings. ' -. . . The above is the entire ceremony just as it occurred; then followed the usual congratulations, which the pair accepted . with unusual grace and complacency, s. . ' Observanpa.

Bayard Taylor writes that . the Tasha of Egypt is gaining golden opinions by his earnestness in the management of the ministry of public instruction. His attention is chiefly concentrated at present upon the

organization of the primary schools, and on these he is bestowing infinite pains. To give a thoroughly national character to the education of Egyptian children is the aim of Riaz Pasha, and his efforts are directed more to laying a solid foundation in the lower schools than to producing showy results in the higher branches of education. Great good has been done by the enforcement of strict rule? regarding cleanliness in all the lower schools, and there is hardly to be seen in any country In Europe a gathering of children .as clean, as neat, and as orderly as those that fill the primary schools in Cairo, where tho new organization Is thoroughly established.

A I'OVU hKAVT IX TUB Oltl'UANs' KC'LD, The Kvaneville Courier reveals the secret of the troul'la in the orphan ajium m that I'lrtC-e: a little o-. tr three months r-o Mrs. lirazier, the niRtron of th County Orphan An hini, re?!-nfd her position. A woman ar.d lier husbaud named Johnson, he a gray haired man of threescore years, and she Of middle age, were recommended from Ind'.ac:q:oli9 as suitable persons to have charge of tha institution, not oujy on account of their experience, but ahu u account of their (Quakerish style of morality, cleauliness, etc. The matron was placed in charge of the institution, and had wntrol of all the inmates, the boys beinp consigned to Johnson, who proved himself the right sort of fellow to look after the numerous chorea about the place. JJy his kind and affectionate disposition he ingratiated himself into the good Rrace and confidence of tbe poor little girls, who by fbrt one's freak wero confined therein, lie oou became a favorite with tfce little innocent, who are deprived of the careasea and

watchfulness of a mother or father. Abont the early part of May, Johnson suddenly took a notion to po to California, and in accordance "with his desires, bv the tenth day f tht month he waa far away from Evacsville. In a fewdays his wife followed, neither assigning any reason for their dejiarture. But it soen leeame known the matter leaked out that JJvansville was not a safe place for either of them, the ancient reprobate especial for the scholar soon began to tell tales whicn caused a shudder to run through everyone in 6 mpatby with the orphans. The stories they told were that the old man. hsd been takiug advantage of hia position, aud the confidence reposed in him, and that tor several days he had been taking liberties with the girls, and accomplishing his purposes bv using threats. He succeeded in tampering with fonr or five ot the little creatures, whose sges ranged from six to ten vears, and with one of the larger girls, who fs said o be guilty of criminality in the aäair. After the pair had gone, tße children commenced to tell their patrons, and finally the matter was sifted by the managsrs, but the chlidren confessed that the affair was uot as bad as at first supposed. Quite a different storv. however, must havA ivrn tnt.i tn v.

grand jury, who soon became cognuantof it. for in a com u:u meat ion to the countv commissioner-, they repjesied that the expenses of a detective be paid io lerret out the scoundrel, alleging that the case was one ot the greatest horror to the community. The board ol managers, as soon as they were made aware of the facts in the case, attempted to conceal them, but without success, for persons . said to be connected with th9 public schools appeared before the grand jury, from which body the affair has been made public. No blame is to be attached to the boerd of managers of the aylum, as the coude gave satisfaction, and nothing derogatory to their character had ever been reported", until this scand.il sfter their departure. Out of consideration for the orphans they have withheld it from the public, and have made arrangements for the removal of the girl criminally engaged t the house of refuge. One young country girl, Miss Annie Kirk, of Eethel, Pa., is entitled to the praise of being the best iady poultryist on record. In 1S72 she cleared S3S0, after paying for all the leed, freight, etc She commenced with eighty fowls Cochin Chinas, Brahmas and other varieties and found the Cochin and Brahmas the most profitable, being healthier and of speedier growth for the market. An example was given last year of a lady at Concord, Mass., who raised a gross value of &50 worth from Domniques and common breeds; but this was exceeded by Miss Kirk, wnose profits alon9 are ?33Q,
