The Farm and Household.° : Make Home Attractive. In arecent number of the New York Tritane we find the following timely ' suggestions for the beantifying of our homes during the long winter months: With just a little foresight and a few hours of pleasant toil this is within the reach of almost every famiy, Scarcely “any house but has at least one sunny southern room; this shonid be the family room. Here ghould be g‘:\’hfl'ul the books, the pictares, the pleasant furniture, and evervthing that will make the apartment atiractive to visitors and enjoyable to 1S occupants. ¢l

Window gardening has become well nigh universal, and those who have once tasted its delights will be slow to relinquish them. The geraniums, and fuchsias, and heliotropes transferred from their ‘beds in the open air to the sunny window shelf, will. be green for us all winter. Hyacinth bulbs will send up their bright lances and disclose odorous spikes of tlowers, filling the room with beanty and fragrance.” The ivy, the mannandia, monevwort, and wandering Jew ask-only a little carth or a cup of water to give us delicate tracery of foliage the whole season. If we but hide a slip ot each in a bottle of water and suspend it ou the back of our picture frames, presently the green leaves will peep out and twine themselves lovingly around the frame. =

Hanging baskets of wire, covered with gavly tinted tissue paper, or with ts of gray or brown moss, or with worsted ravelings of warm, rich hue, may hold tin cans, otherwise useless, From which with only water and a sweet-potato in them abundance of trailing vines will twine themselves whither a thread shall lead them.

Of ornaments made from autumn leaves-there is no end. Harps, anchors, crosses, cat from pasteboard and covered with'leaves of erimson and russet.and brown and® gold, hanging on the walls, will perpetuate the memory and the beauty of the lovely October. Cornices may be made of them: they may be so tastefully arranged: upon and glued to the window panes as to #ive the effect in the room of* stained slass, or arranged in houquets and placed in vases on brackets. * Jume spent in making home thus atiractive is most wisely invested. Bough manners,. ill-temper, carelessness, with the iils that usually follew i their train, cannot find a congenial resting-place in an apartment which refiiement and taste have made their own.. Boys will not leave a home ihus bégutified by the hand of a loving mother or sister, and filled with the charm of their gracious and sunhypresence for the gilded saloons where pleasure allures but to destroy. There cannot. be for the young or old a stronger safeguard against vice than A cozy, happy, virtuous and beautful Haeme, . : i ————— e ) Economizing Food. : It istrite but true that tor a fattening animal shelter and warmth are cquivalent to'so muceh food. The fat of.a hog is carbon mainly, the walls of the cells in which the fat is stored. ouly consisting of nitrogenous matter. Carbonaceons food is therefore mostly reqaired for fattening animals, Stareh is a 4 carbonaceous . substance as muceh as oil or fat. . The composition of starch -is 12 atoms of ecarbon, 10 of hvdrogen and 10 of oxygen. Oils and iats (the lattér differing from the for mer §uiy in the degree of solidity) differ very littie in their composition from starch. In the process of digestion starch is decompesed, and its carbon is made available, fivst to sustain respiration and the animal lLieat, and second to increase the stove of fat. Olly food serves the same ends in the animal processes, but it is found that food rieir in oil is enabled tp add more rapidly to the store of fat than that vicis in starch.. A very considerable portion of oil from the food: rich m Ihat element 1s directly assimilated, and it is found in practice that to give the best results a food rieh in fat or oil must be mixed with the starchy fouwd. Thus corn is a food which fattens more quickly than wheat or barlew, and cotton seed, or linseed oil-cake produges fat faster than corn. The chvice of food for ‘fattening hogs, however, depgends mostly upon its relative cheapness and convenience. #ut it is more to the purpose here to notice the fact that no fat’ is made until the needs of the animal to furaish its animal warmth and tlie carbon to be used up in the process of breathing are suppliedk. . When these needs are met the surplus goes to inake fat. If there is no surplus no fat is made. If the demands upon the animal’s physigal system are excessive by reason of exposure to cold; and the waste of heat is great in consequence; the produetion of fat is proportionately lessened; it may be then either very small or stopped altogether, « v it may be that the animal is obliged to consume more food to supply the areater demand upon its system.— Herein lies the secret of the waste of food by exposure to cold,. and the economy of warmth and comfort. The ‘gu'vsn-nt year corn is scarce and dear. t will therefore be more than usually necessary to see that fattening hogs, as well as stoek hogs, are comtortably housed and kept warm. . The earlier, too, that hogs can be fattened, the less will be the waste of food in maintaining animal heat~—N. Y. T7ibune.

Very Bad Advice, ' 1 well re‘mem{.er}u circumstance, happening to me a long time ago, that tanght ine a useful lesson in respect to protecting tender plants. - One of those proverbial neighbors that always xnow evervthing, advised me to tie up my rare plants with corn fodder, ¥it was open and yet very shady for them:” corn fodder was the material used. So satisfied was I with my work that T never thouzht it necessary to take a peep beneath the covering, but waited confidingly until spring warned me to release my plants. As the Tast corn stalk; ‘from which every blade had evidently disappeared long before, was taken off, lo! and behold! a small white stump gave ev}i',’dence that 4 plant had once grown there, bt it was now numbered with the past. Another-and another were in the same condition, and if ecrying would have brought my pets to life, I think I could have sat down and given vent to my accumulated misery then anid there. To help matters alohg in the way, of comfort under affliction, another of my far-seeing neighbors came by, and, noticing my loss, passed on with the remark, “I could have told you so; niice always congregate in corn fodder; it attracts them, and then they will eat up every green thing in the neighborhood.” —Exchange.

Two Pennsylvania farmers quar- ; | reled for twenty years over the own- ‘' ership of a lane hetween their. farms, which had been abandoned as a high- . way. The sorf of one and the daughter of the other managed to get acquainted, fell in love mutually, and ran away to get married, whereupon . the old fellows dropped their: quarrel, fi“éfio"pfid‘ their law-guits, gave the newly " Umarried pair the land in dispute, and built and furnished a house upon it for them. e

Remember that you must pay the second installment of your taxes by the 14th inst. ;

Don’t—Please Pon't, : Don’t tell the little one, who may be slightly wilful, that “the black man will come out of the dark cellar and carry it off if it does not mind.” Don’t create a needless fear to go with “the child through all the stages of its existence. i o : Don’t 'tell the little five year old Jimmy “the school m#’am will cut off his ears”—*pull out his teeth’—*“tie him up”—or any of the horrible stories that. are commonly presented to the childish inmagination. Think you the little one will believe anything you tell him after he becomes acquainted with the gentle teacher who has not the least idea of putting those terrible threats into execution? i

Don’c tell the children they must not drink tea because it will make them black, while you continue the use of it daily. Your exawmple is worth more to them than precept; and while your face is as fair as a June morning they will scareely eiedit the oft-told tale.—

Bither give up ditinking the pleasant beverage or give your childten a better reason for its non-use.

Don’t tell them they must not eat sugar or sweet-meats, because it will rot their teeth. Pure sugar does not cause. thé teeth to decay; and sungar with fruits .is nutritions and healthy, notwithstanding the “old saw” to the contrary. The ecase of: city children is iotten cited as if the eause of their pale faces and slight eonstitution were an over amount of sweet-meats with their diet, when -the: actual cause is want of pure air and exercise, .

Don’t tell the sick one that the medicine is not bad to take, when you can hardly kee¢p vour own stomach from turning “inside out” at the smell of it. Hv!t@f‘} by far tell him the simple truth, that it is disagreeable, but necessary for his health, and you to desire him to take it at once.. Ten to one he will swallow it with half the trouble or, coaxing and worry 'of words, and love you better for your firm, decided manner, . Don’t teach the children by example to tell white lies to each pther and. to their neighbors. Guard lips and bridle your tung;w if vou desire to have the coming generation truthful. Truthfulness is one of the foundation stones of heaven. -Remember the old, old Book says,*“no liax” shall enter, within thie gates of the beautiful city. Tliere is no distinetion between white lies and those of a dark hue. The falsehood is an untruth whether the matter be great or small—Rural New Yorker.

Fire Producing Rain. (From the HMuntington Herald.)

Last week the prairvies between here and ¥t.jWayne were buining and the city was enveloped in adense cloud of sinoke for several days. At times it was diflicult to-see a short distance, when the wind would change and it would clear away somewhat. It was very disagreeable in every way, inflaming the. eyes and respiratory orQANS The fire finally got into the woods, but from what we can learn the timber was not injured much, only the brush and dry ¢grass burning. .Any serious danger is now probably removed by the light rains which fell at the fast of the week, dampening the leaves 50 that the flames will not spread so rapidly. There was not enough fell to be of mueh benefit to the wheat, ov fill up the wells or cisterns, which are about dry everywhere. , The fact that these fires have a tendeney to produee rain make them not such a bad thing, if the rain was only in a little larger proportion to the amount of smoke and fire. Seientific men explain the connection hetwéen these fires and rain-fall in the folewing manner: Theatmosphere contains at all times a greater or less amount of moisture invisibly dissolved thro’ it. 1f it is copled below a certain temperature, c:|l§wl the “dew-point,” this dqueots vapor is precipitated in rain drops. The usual manner in which this precipitation is brought @bout is by the air ascending to upper regions of the atmosphere where it has more room to expand, and on that account becomes colder.” Now these fires heat the surface of the earth, whieh in turn heats the incumbént air, rendering it lighter .and. causing it to raise in a current. Colder, and therefore heavier, wind-currents get beneath it and force it up to still greater altitudes, where it diffuses and comes lin contact with coolair which reduces it below the “dew-point,” and the vapor is liberated in showers of rain. e

; A Granger Experiment. It will require but a few experiences such as the California Patrons of Ilusbandry have had to give them a better opinion of middlemen. lor years a wealthy Israelite in San Fraheisco enjoved a monopoly of the grain traisportation business of the Pacific coast. Ile chartered all the grain-carrying vessels for Europe and Asia, and; amassed considerable wealth. The Grangers looked upon his success with envious eyes, and finally, coming to the conclusipn that they might as well have the profits of the business as any one else, they appointed State dgents who, un'ilor the patronage of the Patrons, wiere to handle all the grain of the Statp. About two years ago this arrangeinent went into effect. and the Israelite beforementioned turned over his wardhouses and his vessels to the agents of the Grangers, Morgan’s Sons. A week or two ago this firm failed, the liabilities being stated at a hundred thousand dollars. DBut later dispatches show that the total liabilities of the firm will amount to sixz hundred t]mu.vm'ijl dollars! All this, of course, comes out of the pockets of the Grangers. They have ere this probably made up their minds that it would have been better for them to leave well enough alone. ! i

Wanted “Dem Pa';)r's” ‘Changed. (From the Nashville Union and ‘American.) “I want dem papers changed” said a venerable looking darkey,as he rushed precipitately into the County Court Clerk’s ¢ office yesterday evening.— “What . papers?” asked the clerk. “Why. you see, boss, when I came here on Saturday last, I took out a pair of marriage license to marry.a widow with three children, and, returning home, I founda young gal who said she had a prior claim, and if T didn't have her she’d make it too hot for me to live in the neighborhood, so 1 have come all the way to town today to have them things changed.’— ‘T'he clerk intimated that it was impossible to ¢hange the record, and that if he had made up his mind to lead to the hymenial altar the young and blushing damsel instead of the widow, “fat and forty,” with three children, he would have to take out a new license. “Can’t do that, boss; there ain’t three dollas’ difference in the case, and I reckon I better stick to the first principles.” The old darkey then vamoosed 'with his “old pair of license.”

Tug season for coughs and colds is rapidly - approaching and severy omne should be prepared to check the first symptoms, as a cough contracted between now and Christmas frequently lasts all winter. There is no better remedy than Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. For all diseases of the throat and lungs it should be used internally and externally. . E Lung fever, common cold, catarrhal fever, and nasal dischdrge of a brownish color in horses, may be checked at once by liberal use of Sheridan’s Cavalry Condition Powders. G

The Book Agent and the German ) Tailor. {From the Detroit Free Press.] :

He was tall, and solemn, and dignified. One would have thought him'a Roman Senator, on his way to make a speech on finance, but he wasn’t—singularly enougly, he wasn’t. He was a book agent. ' He wore a linen duster, and his brow was furrowed with many carelines, as if he had been obliged to tumble out of bed every other night of his life to dose a sick child. Ie called into a tailor shop on .Randolph street, removed his hat, took his “Lives of Eminent Philosophers” from its cambric bag and approached the tailor with: “I’d like to have you look at this rare work.” “I haf no time,” replied the tailor: ~ “Itds a work which every Hninking man should delight to peruse,” continued the agent. . & «Zo?? said the tailor. Ll ' “Yes, it is a work on which a great deal of deep thought has been expended, and is pronounced by such men as Wendell Phillips to be a work without a rival in modern literature.” “Makes antybody laugh when he zecs it?” asked the tailor. ' “No, my friend, this is a deep, profound work, as I "have already said. It deals with such characters as .Theocritus, Socrates, and Plato, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ifyoeudesirea work on whieh the most eminent author of our day has spent years of study, research, you ean find nothing to compare with this.> i - “Does it not speak how to clean cloze ?” anxiously asked the man of the

“My friend, this is no receipt hook, Dbut an. eminent work on philosophy, as I have told you. Years were consumed in preparing this' volume for the press, and none but’the clearest mind could have grasped the subjects herein discussed. If you desire food for deep meditation, you have it here.” “Does dis pook speak suinding about der Prussian War?” asked the tailor as he threaded his needle. “My friend, this is not an every day book; but: a work on philosoplhy, —a work which will soon be in the hands of every profound thinker in %.he country. What is the art of philosophy? This book tells you. Who were and who . age our philosophers? - Turn to these pages for a reply. As Lsaid before, I can’t see how you can do without it.” ; ! “Und he don’t haf anydings about some fun, eh ?” inquired the tailor, as the book was held out to him.

“My friend, I must again inform you that this is. not an ephemeral “work—not_a collection of nauseous trash—but a rare deep work on philosophy.— [Tere, see the name of the author.— That name alone, sir, should be proof enough to your mind that the work ean mot be surpassed for profundity of thought. Why, sir, Gerrit Smith testifies to the greatness of this volume!” ! “T not knows Mr. Schmidt—l make no cloze mit him,” returned the tailor in a doubting voice. e “Then you willlet me leave your place without having secured your name to this' volume! I can not believe it! Behold what search! Turn these leaves and see these gems of richest thought! Ah! if we only had such minds and could wield such « pen! Bubt we can read, and in & measwre we can be like him. Every family should have this noble work. Let me put yvour name down: the book is only sl2.° . - “Zwelve dollar for der pook! Twelve dollar und he has noddings about der war, und no fun in him, or say noddings how to glean cloze! What you take me for, mister? Go right away mit dat pook or I eall der bolice and e hat you locked up pooty quick!” s B Billy Baxter on the War-Path. (From the Richmond (Ind.) Free Press, Saturday.) Yesterday as the Hon. Wim. Baxter was driving aléng Pearl street, and when opposite the Mayor’s oflice, he discovered Mr. Jeiferis passing on the sidewalk., Stopping his team hLe called to Mr. J. to come out in the street, as he wished to speak to him, with which request Myr. Jefferis complied. Mry. Baxter then toldr Mr. Jefteris that lie understood & recount of the vote of the First Precinet had been made at his (Mr. J.’s) request, and that the result showed a different state of affairs from the oflicial return. ' Mr. Jefferis denied that it was done at his request, but informed Mr. B. that a recount had beep made which showed that he (Mr. J.) had received the niost votes in: the county. Mr. Baxter became irritated at this, and claimed that if he failed to get his seat in the Senate thie people of Indiana would be ruined; that the Legislature -would repeal the temperance law, which would result in everybody getting drunk, and that the people of the State would finally sink into degradation. - . i My, Jefferis retorted by saying he thought the good pcople of Indiana had suflicient sensé to regulate their appetites in that particular fully as well as could be done by any extreme prohipitory laws, and that the present law was a farce, as proven by the fact that more liquor was being drank in Richmond now than at any previous time. Other words, of an angry character, in relation te the merits and demerits of the Baxter law followed, when William became exceedingly wrathful, and informed Mr. Jefferis that if he did no ‘:dry up” he would ‘kick. the whole top of his (Mr. J.s) “head oft. =

The latter replied that, though he had lost his right arm in a threshing machine, if he (Mr. B.) wanted anything in that line he was ready. Mr. Baxter upon this jumped down from hig buggy, and, after performing a graceful piroutte, kicked Chan’s hat off his Tiead. Chan followed this with a left-hander on William’s frontispice. Next Chan was seen slipping one of William’s eyes into his vest pockety and William in return had a large piece of Chan's right ear between his teeth. After this blows and Kicks followed each other in such rapid succession that nothing more definite than a terriffic fight could be seen wheu a crowd rushed up and put an end to the aifair.

SEVERAL months ago Alexander D, Hamilton, City Treasurer of Jersey City, proved to be a defaulter and absconded. After he disappeared his accounts were found to be short about $BO,OOO. Detectives were immediately put on his track and eévery effort made to arrest him, but without success.— He was traged to Matamoras, Texas; but having put himself under the protection of the Mexican General Cortina, the officers were compelled to return without him. A few days ago, Judge Bedle, of the Supreme Court, received a letter from him saying that he would return to Jersey City last Friday evening, and that, in order to save the city the amount of reward for him, he intended to surrender himself to the authorities. He has accordingly returned, and is now in the custody of the Jersey City police, who sought- him in vain for many weeks on the borders of Texas. He shows marked traces of mental anxiety.

.Brigham Young has an abundance of vitality left in him. Instead of preparing for a mansion in the skies he is building a magnificent residence in Salt Lake City, which, he says, shall outstrip an% house in New York or San Francisco. Some Gentile will be camped in it before ten years. :

- Tar work originally published under the title ‘ of Tur NEw AmMerioaN CYOGLOP.EDIA WS completed in 1863, since which time the wide circnlation which it has attained in all parts of-the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art. have indnced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, ’ and to issuz a new edition entitled Tar AMERIOAN CYCLOPEDIA. | ) } + Within the last ten years the progress of discov- ‘ ery in every department of knowledge-has made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occarved, involving national changes of peculiar moment.— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and & new course of commercial and industrial gctivity has been commenced. & A Large accessions to our geographical knowlcdge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. s 7 The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multithde of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curions to know the particulars, Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the hewspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in‘per.manent‘and’ nu?h‘entic history. A . In preparing the present edition for the press it has aecordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnich an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of tlie newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. o : The work hgs been begun after long and care: ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful.termination, 1 None of the original stereotype plates havebeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopsedia with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in ifs composition as have been squested by'longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. if R ~ The illustrations which are introduced for-the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of Plctorial effect, but to give ~greater lucidity and force to the explanations In the text. Thdy embrace all branches' of explanations in the text. They embrace allfbrancges of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Althongh intended for insfruction rather than embellishment, no paiyils have been spared to insiwe their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welccme reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of ita high character. .
