I Philadelphia Record. 1 Tte potato i3 subject to diseases of the stalls, leaves and bulbs. These diseases are dee to destructive bacilli, which in some cases may be traced to the planting of unhealthy bulbs. The Danish method, as mentioned in the Tribune and Farmer, is t3 destroy the germs by beating the bulbs. In tcme cases cl disease the mold on the bulbs grows up in the stalk, where the mold seed ripens and spreads from stalk to leaves. As the disease starts from comparatively few tpots, it spreads slowly at first and then rapicly, except when interfered with by loDg continued drought. In some cases where nn health bulbs have been used the plants appear to thrive, but the bulbi do not grow or produce largely. If healthy bulbs are used the majority of diseases may be avoided. To guard agaicBt all possible contagion the potatoes should be heated up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and si kept for four hours, a slight rerouting of the bulbs batog an advantage before heating. Thes9 preciutions are especially recommended for what is termed In Europe the plague, bat in this country we haye no contagious diseases ex ceDt the rat It has long been known that the best and healthiest crops are secured only by the use of sour, d, healthy bulbs, that are free from all appearances of injury, either by disease or iroGt. The seed being the nrst considera tion, the conditions of the soil should be sucQ as to promote a healthy growth. The common practice of hauling Jaree quantities of fresh manure to the potato fields and spreading it in the rows has done more to induce disc nie than any other ciute. ilsnure may be used upoa potatoes -with advantage, but it should be thoroughly decomposed and fine. Compost is betler tnan manure, as it is usually composed of absorbent materials that have been well mingled with the manure. The safest method, however, is to manure heavily on wbrat land, following with grass, and using the sod land, after the grass baa been cut, for potatoes. With the aid of 4Q0poanas eure rphesphate per acre the potatoes will yield eil aod be free from disease, if healthy seed te p: an ted ; bat-under no circumstances will lotatoes be entirely exempt from disease if any of the seed is unsound. Two very important fertilizers for potitoes are potash and lime. Experiments are said to anow that potash causes the crop to be watery, while lime causes them -o b9 hard ween cocked. It may be that such cone. nions are erroneous, as the difficulties may peibaps be due to other causes; but the use cf lime on scd land in the fall, before tue potatoes are planted, wUl certainly assist in preventictr disease, as welt as largely increasing the yield. Something depends upen the variety also, tirly poU tees should be planted early, while those in tended for winter use should no in late. An other cause of disease is the deterioration of some varieties, which "run out" without the farmer being aware of the fact before it is too late to make a change. The new varie ties should alwavs be tested on every farm, in order ts procure that best suited for the particular soil to which it belongs. If this were practiced there would be fewer diseases, as some varieties will not exist in cartain localities but a tbort time. It is well to change seed occasionally also, even if a suit able variety is secured, bat it should be of the tame kind. We have been somewhat exempt from potato epidemics in this coun try, and the dimculues that sometimes bap Ten in particular sections may be greatly lessee ed by care In the selection of seed and the use of only well fermented manure. The Horse's Back. Farm and Field. The back of a horse is strong and well sup ported. It is the arch ef a bridge, which. from his structure, can bear weight placed upon it, whereas an inverted arch would fall to pieces, or would withstand a far less pressure. It has been observed that lowbacked or rather hollow-backed horses, work ing in harness, kept their condition, while these with high backs lost flesh. Persons of sot very inquiring or observant dispositions would probably attribute this to the fact that the lorn er were of more hardy constitu tion than toe lattr, bat this would be a falte conclusion. It is owing entirely to the curvature of the back, for a berae which can draw a weight was least able to bear a wefeht upon its back, while the horse nnable to tear the strain of draft could beat the other any dsy m carrying a weight. The liae of the vertebrre indicates the sort of work for which the horse is fitted. If it is high the weight must be on top to press it together; if lew, the pressure must be from below for the tame reason. A downward curvature is, therefore, the best form of spine for a draft hone. The Currant Worm. The currant worm, which has of late years proved so destructive to both currant ani gooseberry, by devouring the leaves, and, as a cor sequence, preventing the growth of the shcots and the ripening of the fruit, may be quickly and easily destroyed by a thin dasticg of white hellebore upon the leaves. It may be procured of druggists, and applied by means of a dredging box with nne orihC9s. Care thonld be taken not to inhale the poi sonous dust. As soon as the worms dezour the leaves with this thin powder they parish ; scd, where the work has bcei well done, inoutanas nave entirely uwappearaa in a day. The greatest v'gilance is requisite to begin this dusting before serious damage ii committed, and a watchful eye should ba kept upon the bushes fer several weeks after ward, and the remedy repeated if a second brood appears. The entire defoliation of currants and gooseberries for a ainz'e sum mer greatly injures the bushes, and if cjuticned for successive years destroys them. The Wire Worm. This pest Is a very provokiDg one and excites many inquiries. We have two or three inquiries now in regard to it. It prays up-a almost every crop that is grown. Taeydj not trouble bears, peas and buckwheat, but we co not think of any other crop that they do not sometimes injure. They resemble a worm and resemble wire, and hence their same is appropriate. Remedies, to called. are to a large degree unsatisfactory. Fall 'plowing is in the direction of a remedy, and to is frequent harrowing. This elves the birds in the fall and the spring a chance at them. In Kog'and they practiced baying potatoes early, and marking the place. The grabs collect on them to feed, and can thai be captured and destroyed. Both gas, lime and salt are used to advantage in Eagland. being placed with the seed at the time ol planting, borne advise the sowing of buck wheat the second year after the plowing under sod, should the wire worm be abundant. The first year, one experienced gar decer lays, they seem t3 prefer the decaying grata roots, and buckwheat seems distastefai or poisonous to them. The same is but little less true, the same writer says, or beans aad peas. Bogus Batter In Europe. A Lcndon paper says some interesting paTapers have just been presented to the House of raxllament regarding the importa tion and sale or manufacture of oleomargar ine in foreign countries. The answers to the forefgn ffSce circular on the subject show ttat in Lojopean states practically no legis

lation exists to prevent the sale of spurious

hotter, or to compel the venders to spec iff what it Is they are selling. In Austria, it is true, the importation of the American maonlacture is prohibited "on account of the danger of trichina," and in Brussels there is a communal ordinance which require deal ers in oleomargarine to exhibit a notice bearing the words "Benrre artificial." As a rule, however, the general laws In force agaicst the adulteration of food are tnougnt to be sufficient protection. In France there have been some proposals to legislate especially cn the subject of oleomargarine, and in Geimaay. where the food of the peo ple is subject to the keenest supervision aid inspection, it is stated that the matter is 'now under tne consideration or me inn re rial authorities " Substitutirg the word Parliament for "Imperial autnontiea , this is about the condition cf things in England with recard to this odious mixture, only, unfortunately for us, there is Utile probibiliy of getting the matter seen to here for soma time to ccme. Practical Points on Potato Planting. I Farm, Stock and Home.l The Western farmer who does not plant his potatoes as early as he does his oats, oa well-drained and well enriched and deeply cultivated land, need not look for paying re sults. The potato thrives best on laud abounding in vegetable mould sufficient to give the soil a dark, rich color. Such a soil will become warmed very early in tbe season, and preserve the proper degree ol moisture and coolness at the important period of the enlargement cf the tubers. In order to produce the best results, experience has shown that it is necessary that the tempera ture of the earth should be lower than that of the air. The subdivision of the potato Into eyes is Important. When quartered, halved or planted whole too feebly developed shoots spring therefrom. A single eye, or at moat not more than two eyes cut down to an imaginary lice passing from the middle of each end cf the potato to the opposite ecu, sd ai to secure as mnch llesh to each eye or both eyes as pcwible, ij an essential condition of success. Dr. Sturtevant has shown by careful experiment that if the eye of the potato is injured so as to just avoid tilling it, a mass of little tubers, fifteen to twenty-dye, will form instead of the shoot, illustrating the fact that a single eye has the capacity of originating all the potatoes that a whole plant ought to be expected to bear. All new and valuable varieties should be cut so that every eye will be saved. To do this, take the potato in the left hand, and bold it in an upright position with the end down. The eves will then appear in spinl form, like the thread of a corkscrew. Take sharp, thin-bladed knife and remove tbe lowest eve by cutting midway between it and the next abeve lij the continued cutting from a point midway between the eyes' to a central line of tne potato, formic g wedgeshaped pieces, the potato will soon have the appearance of a many-sided inverted pyra mid. Tbe main care required will be m the subdividing of tne closely clustered eyes at the seed end. After they are cut, if not convenient to plant at the time, they can, if placed on a floor under shelter, after being rolled in land plasterer air-slacked lime, remain there from one to three weeks without injury. Abundance and Scarcity. An extraordinerv state of matters is re ported from Tangier by the Times ol Mo rocco, mat paper states tnat last autuoin the crops in the south of Morocco were to abundant, and the exactions of the ka'.di so heavy, that much corn has been left to rat upon the ground, and there are now to be seen stacks of fenugreek that have been tarnt d into manure, becansB it would not pay the poor, half naked cultivators to tnrasn it out and taae it to mart et. wnue this is so. grain has becme very dear in Tat gier, especially wheat, owirs to the floods having rendered the roads into the interior almost impassable, and various efforts have been roade by Luropeans and others, to bring in grain by steamer from the coast towns, where It is very abundant and cheap, but there is a clause in the treaty that wheat and bailey shall not exported, and according to the interpretation of the treaties by her majesty's legation, transportation by water means exportation. There is also a clause prohibiting the Sultan from exporting grain, which he has deliberately Ignored. During the last year he exported large quantities cf grain, which is taid to have been exacted from the growers at prices fixed by the kaids, and no protest was made by our rep resentatives. Dry Fotil Consumed by Cows. Tralrle Farmer. Sir J. B. Lawes has found that the ordinary dry focd of the farm, such as hay, straw, etc.. contairs about one sixth of their weight of water, and live-sixths of real "dry substance, ' In ordinary milting condition a common sized cow will eat 23 pounds of dry food per day. Last year he assisted Mr. Edwards who has a large herd of short horns at St. Albans in carrying out tome experiments nron ensilage. It was found that in the three experiments the food supplied Itll pounds. 27 pounds snd 27 pounds per head per day, cf real dry substance; while the three lots of cows were yielding respectively an average of lit'; pounds, 1, and scarcely 1 1 pounds of milk per head per day. These were unusually heavy cows, one weighing over 1,7C0 pounds, and the entire 2G cowj averaged 1,413 pounds. In the spring of last year the dry- food consumed by his own cows which were then yielding 30 pounds cf milk per bead per day was about 20 pounds. It is often said that it requires about three acres of grass to sup port a cow for a year. If we estimate, says Mr. Lawes, an acre of ordinary pasture land when fed or mown, to yield a prodaca equal to Ha tons of hay per acre, three acres of such produce would furnish a cow with 23 pounds of dry substance of food per da; during the year; or, if we take the yield to be Hjual to two tons of hay par acre.it would supply an average of 30 7 pounds cf dry substance of food the year round. The aiirxal would, of course, consume more thin iis avere ga amount when yielding milk, aad less when dry. It will be observed that there is a fairly general agreement between the figures broueht forward, snflicieat. I think. not only to raise doubts as to the accuracy of any figures wnicn diner very materially fr jm mem, out ai30 sumcient .to provide practical farmers with eome basis which may enable them to calculate the requirements of their stock during the nx months of winter. DOljEUOLD HINTS. Asparsgus is aencious if a piece of incy and tender lamb is cooked with it Or it may be boiled in stock made of ths bones aod remains of a chicken, Serve with thin slices of toast. After yon are tired of having it plain it will a p near almost like a new ditth and be eaten with a relish if cooked in this way. Vinegar Pie. One and a half cups of suar. jarxe spoon neaping roll of hour, a little uut meg and a piece of butter the size of a wl nut; stir them well together, then add one ciaer vinegar and one and a half cups of boiling water. Boil until it jellies; pour into crusts ana Date. Try it. Orange Charlotte. An orange charlotte is maoe by lining a deepdish with sponge-c ike. precisely if you were about to make a char lotte rnsse; then cut enough oranges to fill the dish; cut them In thin slicss, sprinkle sugar over them; pour a rich foiled custard over all; let it stand long enough to moisten ine caxe Deiore sending to the table. Scotch Short Cake. Take one half pound of slightly talted butter and one pound of flour; then mix floar and butter with the bands; then add four ounces of loaf sugar, and work all into a smooth ball: then roll out nntil it is an inch thick; prick over with a ioik ana pmcn round tbe edges, and bake for half an hour in the oven with a moderate fire, in a round or square pan, according to taste. Mayonnaise of Tomatoes Select firm, ripe. ronud tomatoes of eqnal sizs. Peel them With thin, sharp knife; do not scald them

to peej; ens eacn tomato into tnicc slices, bot do not separate the slices, so that the appearance of whole tomatoes may bs preserved. Place them upon ice to became thoroughly chilled. Just before the salad Is to be served, arrange them upon a bed of crisp lettuce, and put a spoonful of thick Mayonnaise tauce upon each. This is a delicious salad. Strawberry Short Cake. One quirt of flour sifted dry, with two large teaspoonsful of baking powder; one tableepoonful of sugar and a little salt Add three tablespoons fol of butter and sweet milk enough to form a toft dorgh. Bake in a quick oven, and wben partially cooled split open, spread with bot er and cover with a layer of 6trawborries well sprinkled with sugar; lay tbe other half cn top and spread in the same manner. rineapple Padding. Bat er a puCd;rg dish ai d line the bottom and sides with slices cf Btale sponge cake; pare aad slice thiu a large pineapple, leaving out tbe core; place in tee dish first a layer of ploeapole, then of cake, until all is used up; pour in a teat upful of water, lay slicts of cike which bave been dipped in cold water on top, cover tbe whole with buttered paper aud büke s'owly for two hourr. Grated pineapp e is equally gocd. Cutlets with Mushrooms. Fry nicely some veal cutlets, seasoned with pepper and salt and dressed with beaten egg and breal crumbs. Cook previously a sa;e made of bits of veal, a carrot, a little onion, some parsley and sweet herbs and pepper ani salt. Let these things boil for an hour, with a pint cf stock; strain, add a tablespoonful of butter and one of Soar to thicken ; simmer two dozen fmh or preserved mushrooms in this sauce until done; add a few drops of lemon ju ce and serve on a platter with tbe cutlets anargtd in a circle around them. A nice way to vary the ever welcome chocolate cake fining is to ue the whole egg in its preparation. Take fi70)tab!espoonfals of grated chocolae, one cap cf sugar, one

egg, Dot beaten, but mixed with the sugar and chccclate; thin with about t wo teaspoonfuls of mild; cook for about five minutes by setting the basin in whibh you bave mixed it into a eaucepancf boiling water: stir it constantly to prevent burning. This is a sd Indent quantity to cover a cake of . three layers of medium size; flavor with vanilla. 1.-.... V: ,.,. I n A A t. K ftaatpn whole should, when nut to boil, ba placed at once in boiling water, and never in tepid or cold. Bat, in tbe making of soup or vbere a puree or pulp is desired, the veget able shculd on the contrary be put on in culd water and allowed to come gently to a boil. The reason for this is that where boiling is commenced from the'moment the vegetable Is immersed in water, ths albumen of the vegetable is partially coagulated near the surface and serves to retain the virtues of the vegetable, while, as in making soup, when the heaticg is gradual the albumen is slowly dissolved and actually mixes with the water. so adding greatly to the nourishing proper ties of the soup. An old-fashioned and most delicious way to preserve strawberries is to scatter sog tr over tbe fresh berries; sprinkle them bouutif ally with sugar, aa if you were to serve tbeai at tte table; let them stand two or three houis, then drain off the sjrub which has formed ; let it boil up for two or three minutes, put tbe berries into it, and let them remain there until they aie thoroughly scalded; then remove tbe berries, draining them, stread them on plates, and set the u wbrre the aun and wind can liad then. I3ring them in at night, aod set in the ore i: if this is warm, two or three days will harden ttem sufficiently so yon can put them away in &iaa iars, sprinkling a little dry suir over each layer. Cherries and plums may re prerared in tre same way, and if any syrup la left in the kettle it may ba boiled until thick and poured over the fruit after that is on the plates. Fresh Salads. Fresh salads ought not to lie long in water; the withered only long encugh to crisp them. The outside leaves are thrown away: the inner ones parted, well rised and examined. and, if necessary.plunged into salt and water for a few minutes, which will quickly free the leaves of any insects that may cling to them. They may then be thrown into a colander or salad basket to drain, and tben Into a napkin held by its four corners and shaken lightly until it absorbs tbe water hanging aoout the leaves. Handle the sslad as little as possible in catting. Do not mix it with dressing antil the mcment of serving, and then it is usual to put the liquids at the bottom of the bowl and stir it up jnst before serving. Satads of fhh, meat or potatoes are better made half an hour before they are used, excepting sacs as are mixed with leaf salad. Let chives or onions be handled apart hen userl, not mixed in, a3 so many object to the flavor. FARH NOTE3. Plenty of grass should be given fowls in confinement, in order to keep them in good hiaMby condit ou. No cattle are exported Irani the Island of Alderney. "Alderney" cow. so called, ;n this country are Jt rjeys and Guernseys. Of the many varieties of peaches, the Sen Jersey Horticultural Society thinks that the best for profit are the Oidmiioa and Craw ford's Late. Potash cn grape vines has been tried with great success, especially on light soils. It is said to promote the thrift of the vines aud largely increase the yield ot the crop. If milk is set at home for cream the sooner it can be set after milking and the higher the temperature ths better, as cream rises best nd almost wholly while the temperature is falling. There is as much difference in sheep in ths I rodoction of mi.k aa in cows, says the New York Tribune. Soma large ewes will furnish but little, while smaller ones will often yield twice as much. Spreading ths manure or fertilizar 07er the ground broadcast is much better than puc irg it in hills or rows, as the roo's of p'ants spread out in every direction, aod therwoy utilize the manure t J a greater advantaa. Lime and salt, mixed with the soft food is one cf tte cholera remedies tor poultry, bat tbe method generally adopted as the most cfllcacious is to give each sick fowl a heaolng teaspconful or nypcsnipbite of soda in enough water to slightly moisten it. Millet and Hungarian cran maybsson now, as they are especially adapted for sum mer crops, growing quickly and yielding largely cl nutritious hay, whici is high y relished. Mi'let can only be mowed once, bet Hungarian grass furnishes successive cuttings. Cleanliness is abso'ute'y indi.'pensab'e in the dairy. Wash in tepid water every dish. implement or utensil that comei n contact with milk or its prodicts, then scald in boil ing water or steam, rii s in cold water and expose to tbe air and sacshine, ;f possible nntu wan'ed for use. On small farms where a few pigs are kept a great advantage will be gained by pleating number or pumpkin seeds in the corn r vs after the corn has been worked. Qolte large and cheap crop may be secured in mis manner, and the pigs will grow ranch faster on a mixed vegetable diet than they will on corn alone. Sheep are excellent scavengers, and eat weeds as well as grass. They graze close. preferring short grass, and keeD down many obnoxious plants by nipping them off as scon as they appear above ground. In old meadows ana scanty pastures they often secure enougn to sustain them without add! lion a, feeding. The only certain test for tbe pregnant con dltion of a mare is an examination by a yet erinary surgeon. It the mares have never exhibited any restlenness since the service it is fair to presume they are in foil. The gradual nlargement and hardness of the udder is also an lndicatiqn of pregnancy wnicn anoma then be apparent. Land for roots should be given a good dressing ol farm-yard manure, plowed In with a strong furrow. The seed should be sown whenever the ou becomes warm

enough say at the end of May or commencement of June. The cultivation of rcots requires a great deal of labor, but tha yield is large, and they pay well as regular farm crops for stock purposes. An Ohio pork-raiser states that he has tested the feeding of cooked and uncooked cjrn for begs, and also ground and nnground fo d. He claims that a bushel of corn fed on the

cob will produce nine pounds of park, while an equal quantity, ground and fed raw, will yield twelve pounds. A bashel ot orn boiled made thirteen and a half pauads of pork, and a bushel of meal cooked male sixteen ac da-half pounds. In green houses the plants are sometimes infested with red spider daring summer. Its pretence may be detected by the brownish apteracce of the leaves. These insects cn not exist in moisture, and tbe best method of cbeckipg their progress is to syringe the plants about sunset, or later, so that they will be wet all night This is more eifestive than sjriLging during the day, when the moisture soon dries up. French experimenters speak with much favor cf the vapor of tobacco as an Insecti cide, deeming it more desirable than the smote, especially to rid delicate plants of "thrips." l!c. scale and slugs. The mice of the stems or leaves of the weeds, extracted by smoking or boiling, is simply dlilased through tbe closed greenhouse, conservatory or covered tub, by btipg placed over a chafing dish pr the narre of a lamp. The following is a table of rations for calves, as given by the American Agricul turist: Calves two weeks old should have to querls of skimmed milk three times a day. At a month old, lour quarts twice a day. At two or three months old, five qaarts twice a cay, and two ounces or oats or meal. with bay, grass and water. At from three to tix months old, five quarts of milk aud four ounces of meal. For heifera in calf give grass cr bay, with a quart of meal and the same of bran. The opportunities fcr sheep husbandry in this country are almo&t unlimited. Four times as many cheep may be kept in the Middle Etates and 2sew England as are at present maintained, and the fertility of the farms would be greatly increas?d thereby. while with judicious feeding and the use of select breeds the produce from each would be greatly increased. The East can easily supply lUelf witn cnoice mutton! thongs at present the supply is limited. The best interests of the dairy business. and 1 1 stocK feeding in general, call for a no.-e efficient protection against the serious influence of dry seasons. To meet the shortccmicgB of hill pastures and dry meadows by feeaipg a half matured ladder corn is decid edly wasteful. Ibe nutritive value ot one and ibejame varietv of fodder enrn may be impaired, ton for ton, from 50 to 70 and more per cent, in consequence ot a too early tutting for green fodder or far ensilage. AN INC JOHN OF rUATEL. Illl! Wje Das a Vision Which the Morning Dissipates A JJotel Romance Cons qnences. Springfield Josrn&L and Its Night before last, after I had regis'ersd at the hotel and had been assigned "the last room in the house" I use tue iangaaa cf the hotel clerk I went into the dining roo.ii to tea. After I bad regained my confidence amon; Etrangeis, and curled myself up in as abject a manner as possible in the presanco ot the bead waller, 1 began to loot around me f jr an opportunity to beam on some unprotected female with my eunny smile. It is not ray custom when traveling to smile on one :n whese heart a heps might spring up to bs dashed to earth by my departure. It I nave cause pain in this way I did not intend to do so. I can joke and carry on and have a real good time, but I do not wish to inspire in any breast a hope which may bs blaue J, aa, alas! too soon. t It was net long before I discovered a beau tiful blonde ot the female Bex at the farther end of the it om beneath the chandelier. He? skin ee emed to be of a delicate sea-shell color, and her bair was" corn-colored. Her clothes. also, were entirely new, I should judge, and tcade especially for her. On her finger sha wore a diamond ring with perfect ease. She knew just how to work that finger in order to get tbe most possible glitter out of her diamond. Every little while I would look over there and revel in her beauty, and I tbought the was not insensible to my charms. Still, she lcoked at me in a kind of a half reproachful manner, which gave me the idea that I did not know whether it was intentiorsl or not All that evsniDg she was in my mind. I dreamed that night that I swooped dowa upon her and csxrled her away to the re motest boundaries ot the world in a special car. Tee next morning I awoke hungry, for I didn t eat much supper the evening before. I went down to breakfast, waiting and fooling away my lime, honing that she would come while I was in the breakfait room, and I would fill myself up with the beautiful vision and a cup of coffee. Anon she came. She sailed Into the roDm with an air 'of calm disdain, and hauteur, and such tbiegs as that. Tho head-waiter waved his hand like a self-acting duke in a theater, and gave her a seat at my table. A thrill passed through my graceful aud deli cately molded spinal column, and I laid down the vulgar sausage which I was about to feed myselt when she dawned upon ma. I ventured to look across the table at her in the full glare of the new-born day. (SteroECcpic views of this last sentence will be forwarded to any address at $1 per glare ) The first thing I discovered was that she hadn't put her yellow wig on straight It was a litte h'gber on one ear than on the other, which gave her the air of a young man who was over-monkeyed with the flow ing bowl. This showed to the casual observer a glimpse of her own motu, eaten Bags-bruvi hair peeping outalke the faded tail on an old buffalo rcbe. Tben I knew we never could ba more to etch other than friends. Her nose wai re J, and the had not ben properly calcimined. In the hurry of dresirg she had miesed her ncse with tbe powder raj, and that-orange meeting, of course, the nose, not the powder rag I oc med up robust asd purple in tne efcBStly waste of check-bones and other osseous formations. A v, hat nin it gave me to sae my beau tiful vision fade thus before my eyes! Then I thought how I had srailed upon her tue evening before, and how, perhaps, a new hope had sprung up la her heart, aid 1 feared that when she knew it was all over te tween us the ihock, at her time of life, mi.nt kill her. I left my hot pancakes, with the maole syrup all over them, and fled. Out into the din, the hurry and ths tireless ruih of tha read, mad world, trying to st'.fle the memory of that broken heart. Should she see tiese lines, I hope she will cot think bitterly ot me. I still admire her as a well preserved ruin, but love in such a case would be a hjl low mockery. liow Ingroll Saw I. mar.

Rosecians. cf California, to be Register ot the Treasury, in tha plac9 of Blanche K Bruce, resigned. A salary of $1030 a year is paid to the incumbent of this position, who carries heavy responsibilities. He has charge of the geat account books cf the Uoited States, which show every receipt and disbursement, and from which statements are annually made for transmission to Congress. In addition to this colossal job cf book-keep ing, he signs and issues all bonds, Treasury notes and other securities, and superintends duties, some relating to shipping, fisheries, etc., which would be tedious to enumerateA sketch of the career of General Rosscrans, the new Register of the Treasury, involves a review of some of the most stirring events of the civil war, and possesses uni3ual interest on this account. He was born in Kingston, O, as long as September (i, 1810. Choosing the life of a soldier, he was educated at West Point, where he was graduated July 1, IS 12. He served as Second Lieutenant in the United States Corps of Engineers in April, IS 13. After this Le was assistant to Colonel de Russy at Fortress Monroe. From IS 13 to 1817 he was an assistant professor at tha Military Academy, West Point. His next re sponsibihty was tbe cbarge of the fortifica tions at Newport, Rhode Island, which he he'd from 1847 to 1852 Daring these five j ears he also had charge cf the sur veys and reports for the improvement of rew Bedford Harbor, Frovidence Harbor and Taunton River.

Harper's Eazr.l With the possibilities of tbe arrival tbe cholera upon onr shores daring the next season, that bang like a cloud over the Bum mer expectations, there is one plain duty before every householder and housekesper tbat can not be overlooked, and that is the duty of leaving no foot-hold and no feeding ground for the dread intruder, and if he must come, cf preparing to meet him in the panoply ot perfect cleanliness. Always a dnty in view of the general- cas ualties resulting from a want of it eleanii nets becomes this year more than ever dnty, and a public dnty. For he who by his neglect gives the enemy an opportunity injures not only himself, but every other member of the community, with the possi ble and probable cay, this year the absolutely certain reaction of his negligence up on them; and remembering this, it is seeo. to be cot merely a selfish precaution, but matter cf unselfish regard for one's neighbor, tbat obliges one to look to his surroundings and tee how near they come to godliness. Now, then, the roof where pigeons congre gate must be attended to, and tr cistern wa ter is used, gathered from the rain shed on tbe roof, then the pigeons bad best be done away with as the water is sure to be

fouled, and its use fraught with more or leis c auger for either drinking or cooking purposes. The spouts, too, which conduct this rain to the the cistern should be taken down and cleansed cf the accumulations of dead leaves and straws that are every year blown and diifted and lodged within them. The spaces under the piazzas, where often all torts of cot wholly innocent waste multiply, and are to be found in a more or less advanced stage of returning to mother earth, should cleansed and sprinkled with lime;

and trellises and summer-houses aud back jards, and all their belongings, should ba thoroughly ecraped and purified. The barn cellar too, if there be one, is to be emptied ot its contents, and if pigs are kept there, tbe tetter to worx over these contents, it would te as good as an army corpse against the en emy if they were abolished for one season or removed to a distant locality, and even there kept with much more cleanliness than common. Care should h taken also at once and thoroughly to etnpt , cleanse, aud disinfect vaults, ces3-poo:s, hen houses, pigeon rocsts, and doe kennels, and to secara for eveiy receptacle of possibly objectionable contents a complete ventilation, while the tense drainage ehould have especial and early attention, with the best advice of tbe plumber, if there be pipes and eeweraze. with ashes and lime otherwise, with great care concerning tbe place ot cept sit of the drippings of the kitchen sink, as poisonous as any otner drainage, concerning the swill and soap grease vessels also, and with unexampled care of the condition of the well. If cowb are kept it should be a matter of moment to see that their ovn drinking water is pure, and if milk is bought daily to any amount it becomes a duty to inquire into the sources of yard, as diseases of cboleraic nature, es well as several f a:al fevers, may be received from milk, the cows furnishing which drink at noxious pools or wells. In regard to the house well, indeed. it would not be amies to have it emptied and wipd out and tben pumped dry a second time, it being understood, of course, that it is at least eighty feet from any underdrain, or any surface drain either, for that matter, as tne long infiltration and percolation of waste through the soil is sure to find its way at last to so convenient a spot ai a pit apparently dug and stoned purposely for its accommodation. Meanwhile, within doors, the housekeeper will begin with the attic under the topmost pitch of the roof: ehe will not leave a mouse track in the wall that ehe can reach, or old taper rotting in the closets; broom and dctter, Ecao and water, will do their perfect work from garret to cellar; gallons of copperas water as cbeap as any dialnfectaat, and about as effective, but always to be handled with care, as it is itself a poison will flush every pipe for refuse water, and a strong saturated solution of potash will cleanse the pipe of the kitchen 6ink from its offensive and decaying grease. This year, if cot every year, will nj carpat bs neglected and denied its beatiDg, will douotfol paper-hangings be stripped off and fesh ocesput in their place, will new paint inae tbe house sweet and clean whitewash aod kalsomine give it tbat indescribable s:ent that eeens to promUe health at the Erat breath of it. Tnis is cot a matter ot the usual house cleaning at all; that, it is taken for gianted, is dsne accaidi eg to the family exegencies and the duties and necessities of escb year. Ihis year it is quite another thing; it is bs if a whole ppuiation turned OTvt ith fcpades acd picks to turn the ned cf a river threating at station, and to dissipate all its current over wide marahe) or direct it into the ali-puriyit g sea. In tbe cellar, again, will the housekeeper's anxieties particularly ezptnd tbemstlves: cot a vegetable there but shall be picked over; ca's ahall be banished from its domains; old i ork and vinegar barrels sliail be removed cr renewed, or else ru&de t and ! cent; rofungna chall be left in crack or ciaccy; whitewash shall make it3 illumination there, and winde as shall beset wida open and wired, that free draughts may oirter across it in eafety. Only when all this is done can the mm and acman cf the house sit down in righteous ease cf mind, knowing tbat the last obstacle in their power has been put in the path cf the foe, and if he comes now, it 13 fate and net they themselves that shall receive the blame: it is some neighbor's negligence, cot tbelrs, which ruiosa community; it is the fault of the quarantine authorities; it is tbe greed, tbe incapacity, the criminal recklessness, of some one other than themselves which are responsible for the suffering at d ceath and despair that shall ensue if what happens in France and Italv last year, nnwarned, happen this year in America, fully aware ot the danger. If all our shorts, our wharves, our cries, our avenues into this country, our country places themselves are clean, and blown ever by clean air, then will the evil blast of the cholera be turned Into harmless breath, an we shall have taught tbe world a lesson that it may cot be slow to learn, and that it has been thousands of years spelling out. Surely it will be a splendid and triumphant expert ence for her, well repaying ail outlay and precaution, if the American housekeeper, by her cleanliness in doors and out, shall have made impossible the pestilenca that has walked in the noonday for so many cacturies, and in solemn verity shall have done more than all the physicians ani physicists have been able fo do, and while they talk learnedly and angrily ; about microbes and bacilli, so far as her own portion of the planet Is affected. How could a greater glory crown her, let the work of achieving it be laboiiouj as it will, calling for well earned after-rtst! Surely it will be one of the last triumphs of civilization when the dark Ea;t hesno longer a base creation that the floods of light 8F.d torrents of air of the bright fresh Weet can be overcome, lay low, and destroy.
