CAPT. STANLEY’S BODY-GUARD. “Well, yes,” sakl my host, Captain Stanley, as brave a soldier as ever drew a sabre; “ I have seen some hard times since I have been out here, and so have we all. A man in our prbfession can’t pass five years of his life on the plains without getting some hard knocks, I tell you. We had just finished a late supper, and having drawn our chairs about the wide fire-place, had filled our pipes preparatory to indulging in a social smoke. There were a dozen of us in the room, all except myself wearing Uncle Sam’s “honored blue.” I was at that time correspondent for an Eastern paper, and had been ordered to the frontier to “ write up” the campaign which General Cfook was about to undertake against the Cheyennes who had broken away from their reservation. Finding hat a detachment led by Captain Stanley, the Commander of old Fort Frazisr, was expected to bear the brunt of the work, I joined my fortunes with it, accompanied It on a perilous scout of fourteen hundred miles, and we had but just returned to the fort. We had got back, too, just rh time to escape what Western men call a “blizzard.’’ And what is that? It is 4 an old-fashioned New England snow ■torm a dozen times intensified. The wind blows as if it would sweep everything before it, the cold is so piercing that one shivers over the hottest fire, and the air is filled, not with snow, but with sharp needles of ide, which seem to threaten destruction to every living ithing exposed to its furv. We were all lenugly housed, our jaded horses were munching their barley in their warm stables, "the sentries were standing grim, and silent in their boxes, and those of us who were fortunate enough to have no duty to call us out into the storm, spread our hands over the cheerful wood fire and congratulated ourselves on the safe ending of our tedious scout. I said there was a dozen of us in the room; but I must not forget to mention Captain Stanley’s body-guard, four magnificent Scotch deer-hounds, which lay stretched out in front of the fire. They were large, shaggy animals, with immense bone and muscle, and bore on their bodies numerous evidences of the battles through which they had passed. [They were terrible fighters, and the ease with which they could overtake and pull down an antelope, was surprising. They accompanied us on the •cout, and I could not imagine why it was that they were treated with' so much kindness and -consideration by every • member of the command. On ■his particular night I was to find out “How the wind blows!” exclaimed a young Lieutenant, from his seat in the (Chimney comer. “I declare, it will Hear the stockade up by the roots.” “Yes, it is a wild night; and I hadn’t [been on the plains as long as you have, SJack,” said the Captain, addressing tiimself to the Lieutenant, ‘1 before I was called upon to face just such a storm as &iis, without shelter of any kind, exicejSt what was to be found in the hills, »nd under circumstances that were calculated to freeze the blood in the veins of the bravest man that ever stepped! Those hours of horror turned my hair 'white' as you see it now, and made me an old man before my time. I cannot xeeall them without shuddering.” The Captain puffed vigorously^ at his well-blackened brier-root for a few minutes, and after making sure that it was Well lighted, continued: “I always was fond of horses, dogs and guns, and I can scarcely remember the time when I did not own some of the very best. My pointers could not be beaten, my pony would take a fence almost as well as any of my father’s thoroughbreds, and my little fowling piece was sure death to any bird that got up within any reasonable distance. When I left home to go to West Point, it almost broke my heart to part from my pets; but my uncle, who was an, ardent sportsman, assured me that if I would pass a creditable examination at the end of my school term, he would present me with a pack of dogs that would snore than take the place of the one I Jeft behind ;^my father, a veteran of the Mexican war, and a great admirer of the cavalry, told me that if I would fit myself to enter that branch of the service, he would give me the finest horse in his stable, and my mother said she would giye me another. Encouraged by these promises, and ambitious to distinguish myself in my chosen profession, I worked hard, and stood among the first frre at the end of "the course. Here are The dogs my uncle gave me,” paid the Captain, his stem face soltenSas he gazed almost lovingly at the indid animals before him, “ and the horses—well, one Was killed during a fight on the Sweetwater, and the oflier —-jKtor Gipsy! She was my mother’s

“ As soon as X received my commission I was ordered to report to the commanding officer of Fort Scott lor daty. The officers were all lovers of the chase, (and at the sight of my horses and hounds they received, me with open arms. In (company with the neighboring ranchmen, we hunted almost constantly; there was little scouting to be done, for the Indians were quietly settled on their reservation, and when winter came and the first snow covered the ground, the sport we had in coursing antelope was simply magnificent. “Early one morning, while I was returning to the post with a freshly-killed antelope slung across my saddle, I noticed that my eyes burned, and that the surface of the snow, from which the bright rays of the sun were reflected with almost dazzling brilliancy, seemed to be covered with floating specks. Now and _ then something that looked like a chain danced across the range of my. vision, and this would be followed by multitudes of miniature pin-wheels and sky-rockets. I knew that the glare of the sun on the snow had affected my eyes,, but I thought nothing of it, for I was foolish enough to believe that it would wear off in time. * “ When I reached the fort I found there was a runner from the Red Eagle •Agency, who had brought informal ion which rendered it necessary that a c ourier should be sent with dispatches to Fort Morris. The dispatches were ready and the Colonel was waiting for me. I changed horses, received my instructions ana set wit at once with my Bsnry rifle slung at my back, and hiy

hounds trotting along before me. For two or three days I had noticed a suspicions bank of clouds hanging in the northern horizon, and the Colonel had warned me to make haste for a storm i was brewing. Acting upon his advice, (I pushed ahead as rapidly as possible, shading my burning eyes with my hand, and now and then calling to my dogs, who seemed inclined to turn about and give battle to a pack of gaunt and hungry wolves that was following behind me. I saw, with no little uneasiness. that although the south wind was blowing strongly, that a threatening bank of clouds in the north was rising rapidly against it The Arctic King was ooniing in his might, and I knew that the storm would overtake me long before 1 could reach my destination. 1 began to feel timid. I did not like the persistency with which those faminebreeders hung on my trail. There was something ominous m it. “Just before dark I reached my camping ground. It was a sheltered nook among the hills, bare of snow, and there was a spring of good water close by. After putting . the blankets on the mare and feeding her, and making her as comfortable as I could for the night, I built a fire under the lee of a rock, and with my dogs around me, sat down to eat my supper. Just then the war of the elements began. With a roar and a rash that was terrific, the advance guard of the Arctic forces struck the south wind and drove it back. Then there was a lull,

Mini ns sometimes occurs m uatim when the opposing forces are gatherinu themselves for a decisive efl'iif-t, anit with another mighty roar the fihal onslaught was made. The blizzard was; in full blast. The air was literally tilled with ice. It grew colder and col del every minute, and my fire seemed tc give out no heat. I could not look al the blaze for the pain in my eyes had increased until it was almost unbearable. Finally I wrapped my blankets around me and lay down to sleep. “How long I slumbered I do noi know. I was awakened by one of my dogs, which came up anu licked my face. 1 started up and threw off the blankets. It was pitch dark. The blizzard was still raging fearfully, and the wolves had approached so close to my camp that I could hear the patter of their feet as they ran about among the scrub oaks, and my faithful dogs now and then gave a growl to warn them off. A stamping among the brutes told me that my mare was rendered uneasy by their presence, and I thought I woulll go out and speak to her. I looked toward the place where my fire had been kindled, but I could not see a single coal. It had burned itself completely out. Groping my way on my hands and knees to the pile of fuel! had gathered before going to sleep, 1 pieked up a stick and began poking around for the coals. Presently a sharp, stinging sensation in my hand told me that 1 had found one. I could feel the pain, but I could not see the coal, and yet it must have been a live one or else it could not have burned With trembling hands and a terrible sinking at my heart, I took out a match and lighted it I could distinctly hear it burning, but I could not see the blaze, although I held the match until my lingers were scorched. Then I dropped it, and with a scream of terror jumped to my feet Great heaven! I was snow-blind! ** With the experience I now have, I know that my situation would have been desperat e if i had been in possess ion of my sight; as it was, I gave myself up for lost. I was paralyzed with horror, and for a time I could not move. The actions of one of my dogs aroused me. He bounded forward and began a terrible battle with one of the wolves. With another cry of terror I groped my way back to my bed, and catching up my rifle succeeded, after a desperate scramble, in placing’ myself on the top of the- rock. By this time the battle, between my dogs and the wolves was in full progress, and a fierce one it was, too. I fired shot after shot into the air in the hope of frightening the famine-breeders, but they were rendered too desperate by hunger to fear the smell of gunpowder. How earnestly I prayed that my noble dogs might succeed in fighting off their savage foes! I shouted to them words of encouragement to which they had never failed to respond during a hunt, and finally I knew that they were gaining the victory. They drove the wolves away from me, but the ravenous animals were not to be cheated. They turned their attention to my horse. • 441 fairly cried as I stood there, sightless and helpless on my rock, and listened to the struggles of the frightened beast as she strove with desperate energy to break her fastenings. To my great joy she succeeded, and with a shrill neigh of terror, set off up the valley.il heard her hoofs clattering over the bare ground, and the snarls and yelps of the savage pack as it followed close at her heels, and then all was still. I called to my faithful guardians, and each one answered to his name by a joyful bark, all except the Major, whose response was a mournful whine. Poor fellow! He had been severely handled. 441 did not delude myself with the hope that I had seen the last of the wolves. I knew that my steed, fleet and enduring as she was, would in the end be overtaken and tom in pieces by her tireless pursuers, and that, having whetted their appetites, they would ret urn in sufficient numbers ’to overpower my guards and make an end of me. 1 had always prayed for a soldier’s death, and the thought that I must give up my life in this horrible way, was asronizinar.

“ I cannot tell how long 1 stood there waiting for the wolves to come back and Sut me ont of my misery, for I was azed with terrcy. 1 fell into a sort of a stupor from which I was aroused by a bark from one of my hounds, and (I know every note uttered by these animals as well as I know the sound of my own voice,) it was a bark of welcome. Help was near. My first feeling was one of amazement, and before I had recovered from it I heard a rifle shot, and then another and another. The whole pack broke out into a joyous baying. 1 cocked my rifle with my benumbed hands, ana fired all the remaining cartridges into the air. I tried to shout, but 1 could not utter a sound. My head reeled and I fell from the rock. “ 1 remained a full month at Mr. Butler’s hospitable"nmche before I was able to return to the post He and two of his neighbors bad been out after blacktails and were caught in the blizzard, but knowing that they must reach home or run the risk of being snowed up in the hills, they boldly faced it, and a fortunate thing it was for me that they did so. They saw the wolves devouring my mare and took the back trail expecting to find my mangled body. When they discovered me lying behind that rock, surrounded by my bleeding hounds, no words could express their astonishment. Close by, there were sbven dead wolves and three disabled ones that were trying to crawl off. These they shot. That these dead and wounded members of the paek were not devoured by theh comrades, was owing to the fierceness with which my brave dogs fought them. They were badly cut up, but they re ceived tbe same Kind nursing that 1 did. and here they are, as ready for a fight as they ever were. Do von know why everybody in the fort thinks so, much of my body-guard, Harry?” I thought 1 did.—Ottr Continent. —Those who object to the odors oi many of the disinfectants used at the present day will find charcoal unobjectionable on this account, and it is said to absorb gases in a surprising way; pieces can be laid on plates and put ou( of right in a sick room.—A.

Little Girls’ Dresses. Gninipe dresses are revived for little girls of two years of age and upward. These dresses may have a separate gnimpc (or belted waistof muslin), with She low-neoked full dress put on over it, gr else there may be a yoke and sleeves of whil e muslin and embroidery, with the full dress sewed to these permanently, hncl producing precisely the same effect as that of the separate garments. The dross all in one piece is best for very active little girls, who would be apt to drop the low neck and short sleeve oil' the shoulder, but there is an effort being made to revive for the summer th e fashion of having the neck and arms of these little folks bare—hence many mothers prefer the separate dress and under-waist or guimpe, as these may be worn either way. For the present spring season the quaintest little old-fashioned Dutch dresses of cashmere are made with a full low square-nocked belted waist, puffed short sleeves, and full gathered skirt of a width and a hall of cashmere simply hemmed, and perhaps two or three tucks above the hem. Sometimes this baby wai3t has no sleeves, but merely a strap across the shoulders, and sometimes it has a very short high pftil sleeve; the neck is usually bound narrowly, and there are two rows of shirring below the binding. In some such dresses this shirring is repeated at the waist, in others there is an inch-wide belt stitched on all around, and a still more prevalent fashion has the belt or shirring only in" front, with a sash beginning in the under-arm seam and tied behind in a large bow; this sash is of the cashmere, two-eights of a yarfl wide, hemmed all around. Another similar dress has the full front shirred at the neck only, falling straighi thence to the end of the skirt, while the back is gathered in at the waist line, and has the cashmere sash just mentioned. All these styles, it will be seen, imitate the dresses worn by German Eeasant children, and are made of deep lue or violet plum-colored cashmere, or else' sky-blue or rose. Sometimes a row of white Hamburg open embroidery edges the neck, sleeves and the ends of the sash of the cashmere dresses, but this is more appropriate on the baby waists of the colored percales,and mulls with figures in them now used for the same purpose, such as the blue or pink percales with birds or roses all over them, or cream white mulls with great mammoth pansies, or else plain colored lawns, ginghams, or Chamberys are used in navy bltie, or raspberry pink, or perhaps Turkey red calico. The square low neck seems to be preferred for all these dresses.

. jjo.v pianea aresses are mane up in similar fashions, and are preferred for plump children, who would look too stout in the gathered dresses. These plaited, dresses have waist and skirt in one, with three box plaits the entire length of the back and front, finished at the foot by two gathered ruffles of the gingham, or else of white embroidery. The two outside box plaits back and front pass over the shoulders, forming the strap, which is the only sleeve, ana the dress is fastened behind by a false flap under the middle plait. There may be many rows of Russian lace or embroidery across the front between the outside plaits. The light blue linen gingham is very pretty for such dresses. The guimpe is of tucked white muslin, or else has a tucked or embroidered yoke and sleeves, while the lower part of the waist is plain muslin passing down torthe hips, with a drawing-string or belt at the waist line; if a belt is used, it should be stitched on the outside, iso that when the child grows the waist can be lengthened by placing it lower. All these styles, 'with many others besides, are made up'with a high-necked poke and long sleeves of white embroidery and muslin sewed permanently into the square neck of colored dresses, thus giving the effect of a guimpe and separate dress. Sometimes a Mother Hubbard effect is given by putting clusters of shirring in the front and back of these dresses; for instance, there are two bunches of shirring just below the yoke, and two similar clusters at the waist line of little.dresses that 'have the waist and skirt intone. Deep yokes of white Hamburg embroidery that have the lower edges scalloped are pretty for pink and baby blue gingham dresses. A gathered bias frill is sewed to the edge of the dress skirt, and an embroidered edging is sewed upon it. The frill at the neck of yokes should be turned down and bound at the top to prevent the scalloped edges pricking the child’s tender skin. The white sleeves represent guimpe sleeves, and are slightly full, with a little band to hold the gathers at the wrist, on which are two rows of edging, with their straight sides stitched together. While colored dresses are preferred for the morning and for the country, white dresses are still chosen for the best. These have the full gathered skirt nearly covered with embroidery, being made of a flounce of Irish point embroidery, or the open-worked Hamburg, or else the more serviceable close patterns. There are only two or three inches of the plain muslin at the top, just enough to slither well to the belt of insertion which is stitched on a lownecked baby waist of muslin that has puffed sleeves high on the shoulders, giving a square effect. The sleeves are tied with ribbons, and there is a sash, narrower than those lately worn, tied around the waist. There are also highnecked white lawn and pique dresses, made to give the appearance of a low waist by being trimmed with a turned-down embroidered frill low around the neck and shoulders, and having caps of embroidery representing short sleeves sewed in the armholes above full gathered long sleeves of the muslin^ These dresses have five narrow box plaits from the high neck down back and front below the hips, where a sort of panier frill is added, deeper and fuller than the frill outlining the low neck, and below this the skirt is laid in kilt plaits. On pique dresses a mock basque is sewed on the hips instead of a frill. A cravat bow of four loops and ends is set a trifle to the left in the full ruches of embroidery and lace seen on the necks of little girls’ white dresses. Tiny little girls of twe years wear their skirts almost to theh ankles, while larger girls wear them shorter, but always reaching well below the knees.—Harpers Bazar.

A Texas Gas-pipe. After a Texas Legislator has been emitting a stream of gas for several hours, and there aro no signs of either the gas, or the gas-pipe, becoming exhausted, a brother Legislator will arise in his place, and with a smile an angel mi?ht envy, will ask the gas-pipe: “ Would yon yield to me just for a moment?” The gas-pipe, who is glad of an opportunity to refill his lungs, says: “Certainly,” and puts a keen edge on hist whistle by sucking a lemon, whereupon the gentleman who wished to have the floor just for one moment, says: “Mr. Speaker, I make a motion that th is exhausted and worn out body adjourn for a day or so, uptil they can recuperate sufficiently to listen to the rest of the gentleman’s speech.” The gas-pipe gets red in the face, glares for a moment at his brother legislator, turns on the gas, and the flow of eloquence' is resumed.—2’exas Siftings.

Persistent Effort Seeded on the Form. The results come far short of meeting the requirements of this age, if a farmer is satisfied with cattle stock that is fairly good, the cows yielding six or seven pounds of butter a week, and the steers growing up to fair size,, and getting tolerably fat on what passes for good farm keep at four years old. Farmers, in these days, are, figuratively speaking, squeezed between two mdl stones. Their taxes, direct and indirect, as compared to the period when the present farmers of fifty and over bef n their farming, are largely increased. e have no simplicity m official stations nowadays. Love of country, and desire to serve our fellow man, have given place to greed after office, largely for the sake of the pay it affords. Considerations that formerly insured economy in public expenditures, and consequently low taxes, cut no' figure in these days, hence nearly everything the farmer buys for his' own consumption is taxed heavily, or is shpddy, or the two are combined. Hence cows that will make six or seven pounds of butter a week, and steers that, at four years, will weigh twelve hundred, and sell at a low figure per hundred, cannot bo relied on to meet the expenditures of the average farmer’s family of this day. The faring that has increased in value from fifteen to forty dollars an acre, is put to a very poor use when devoted to growing the grade of stock which prevailed on thq fifteen-dollar land. Then the opportunities for improvement were very widely scattered. The mass of farmers were so situated that it required a journey of from one hundred to several hundred miles to procure a well-bred bull calf. Thus, the remoteness of supply and the then meagre income, cut off facilities for improvement, and farmers were more excusable for keeping the only kind that they had oppo rtunities to procure.

xsut now the circumstances are entirely different. Well-bred stock of every kind, like the locomotive, has found its way' to the very base of the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico, is seeking acess to the valleys beyond, and is scattered over all the country this side. So there is no obstacle in the way of our farm stoek becoming rapidly re-invigorated, taking on the high-priced, early-maturing form in place of that of the tardy growers, too common even in our day. Yet, improvement in farm stock, outside of the swine herd, is a thing oi slow growth. This is demonstrated every day at any principal stock market in the country, through the very meager showing of good beasts on sale. For proof of this, see how small a proportion of six-eent cattle are offered, and how extended the list of sales at half, or a f raction over half this figure. - The consumers in the country at large, even much the largest portion of those who live in the principal Western cities, eat very indifferent beef and mutton, because they cannot procure better grades. By the time the usual culling has taken place, -the best being selected for shipment to Eastern cities and to Europe, a, large proportion ot‘ all the offerings remaining are what,are termed “butcher’s and eanner’s stock”—low-down grades at best. The canners go upon tne proposition that anything that is beef, even if from an old, wom-out bull,-or a superannuated ' cow, too old to fatten well, will boil tolerably tender, if the process is long enough continued, and will sell to the class of persons who are expected to eat this kind of leathery, insipid meat. With all the avenues that are now opened for improvement, coupled with the fact that our farmers are now quite ready to concede the necessity of pushing our grades of stock up to of higher standard, for the reasons given above, the native cattle still far outnumber the better kinds; and ignoble blood is so fixed in the serab beast, that to eradicate this requires a great d eal of patience and perseverance. —Natv-nai Live Stock Journal.

Fish-Balls. One pink of fish chopped as finely as possible, six large or eight mediumsized potatoes, boiled and mashed tires while hot. Add to them one tabicspoonful of butter, half a eup of milk and half a teaspoonful of white pepper and one well-beaten egg. Fish varies so much in saltness that after it hais been added to the potato it is best to taste the mixture and judge if more is required. When thoroughly mixed make into small flat balls, and after flouring them well fry a bright brown in sweet dripping. A still more delicate ball is made Dy dipping them first in beaten egg, then in crumbs, and frying like eroqnettes, but when eggs are high the first method will answer. Fat,rif cooled and strained after using into a small jar, can be used many times, and a thing is never perfectly free from fat unless it is immersed in it when at actual boiling point. A perfectly fried croquette, rissole, fish-ball or potato shduld be so dry and free from grease as not to soil the napkin it may be served on—Qitr Continent. —Two eonvicts in the California State prison took delight in torturing a timid fellow, whose cell was between their own, by pretending at night that they sa" ghosts.

--As the season grows wanner the horses should be fed sparingly on com. Oats, well crushed, make the best grain feed, as com contains too much oil, and produces fat1 and animal heat, with little muscle. If oats are moistened previous to feeding the demand for watef after feeding will be lessened, and too much at that time often carries the grain from the stomach into the ii&estines, where it cannot be digested. Corn often causes sweating when given in large quantities.—Denver Tribune. Small Farming and Co-operation. ■ ■ The tendency of the present phase in agriculture is toward the working of larger tracts of land under one business management. This must pro7e profitable when directed by great business talent. A single capable mind directing the working energy of a thousand men, will accomplish much more than those thousand men working each on his own planning. The business talent is not distributed in equal portion to all, and when many willing hands are moved under one expert, they will become a unit of tremendous force. Bonanza farming commands all, the labor-saving machinery for each specific operation, and can use it with the greatest economy, since the profit in the use of machinery depends upon the amount of work to be performed. A mowing machine will do as muclLand better work than eight men; but iithere be only one or two days’ work to be done with it in a year, then the interest on its cost would hire the labor done, and it becomes unprofitable. The small farms are, therefore, at a disadvantage in the use of machinery, and. for this reason, are sold to the larger proprietors, while the small, independent farmers are becoming relatively fewer year by year. The result is not favorable to education or the advancement in civilization of this class. Large farms lessen the population on a given area of land, and, therefore, render it more difficult to maintain schools. But this is only a part of the injury indicted upon the population. Instead of being made up of independent proprietors, with a small class of temporary laborers, the population consists of a few proprietors and a much larger class of permanently dependent laborers. The aggregation of small farms into large ones is to be deplored, and the effective means to prevent this result is »u intelligent co-operation among small farmers in the purchase of such laborsaving implements and machines as are necessary to perform every agricultural operation most economically. If a farrher of 400 or 5Q0 acres can afford to purchase machines that cheapen farm labor, then eight farmers ef 50 acres, or five fanners of 50, and two of 75 acres, or an aggregate of 400 acres, made up of any-Sized farms, ean Suite as well afford to use in common lese machines. These farms should be contiguous, and nearly in a square body, so as to lessen the distance of travel. When this is the case, the machines "Cost no more per hundred acres; and as each farmer takes a share in proportion | to his acreage to be worked, he is placed upon an equality with the most favored large farmers, and can compete with them in the production of the same erops. These small farms usually furnish wnple labor to occupy the owner and Elf family, and with the aid of the co-operation here mentioned he> might, having a little active zeal in his occupation, reach a much higher proportional production than the large farmer. Let us si ppose that the expensive ag ricnltoral machines required to work

4W acres will cost $1,000; this would make the share of a fifty-acre farrr $125—a sum that any well-worked farm of that size could well afford. It may be objected that six or eight farmer: could not profitably use the same set oJ machines; but this would seem to b* groundless, as one set of implement: would work all these farms in one. If all these small farms were wol' worked, these farm machines would perhaps do rather more service, and this would only add to their profit. It would not often occur that more than one of these farmers would want to nse the grain drill on the same day, and ten to fifteen days would usually be sufficient to sow the grain on them all. The meadows could all be cut with one mowing machine, or, if not, two of these could he purchased. A reaper will easily cut 150 acres of grain, and there would seldom be more. The horse power, feed cutter, and thresher would make light work of it all. In short, there could be no practical difficulty in working out this co-operative problem with any well-directed effort. It would unquestionably improve the social relations of a neighborhood, which is sometimes much needed. Farmers need more business contact with eaeh other, and this might lead them to wider co-operation—to unions to secure more uniform prices for their products. If small farms are to hold their position, it must be done by some such co-opera* tion as we have described. Aggregation into large farms is a step m the wrong direction—it is a political and social blunder. Division, not addition, should be the rale for landed-property in this country.—National li»* Stock

Boro-glyceride. A barbarous looking name this, bnt it is full of meaning, and if reports are true its discovery is one of the greatest boons to the human race. Its general use will involve vast change&in the price and distribution of human food. This preparation is an antiseptic, discovered or at least made known by Prof. Barff of London. By using it, fresh meats, game, fish, vegetables and fruit can be kept for years untainted. At a dinner given in London to a number of leading scientists, oysters, turtle, fish, meats, game and fruit were partaken of which nad been kept from three to six months, and yet were as fresh as if just brought from the mafket. The London Timts very justly declares that the discovery is of the greatest practical value. One is staggered in thinking of its possibil ities. In time it will lead to the killing of cattle near where the herds are grazing, for the meat can be preserved and sent to fnjr part of the world within a year after it is killed. Hence the cruelty connected with the shipping of cattle will in a few years be no more. This will cheapen food the world over, and will be a blow at or rather a modification of the canning business. The invention will give us summer berries in January, and Winter oysters in summer. We can have green peas in early spring, and salted and smoked meats and fish will be no longer a necessity. Boroglyceride is no secret preparation, it is a chemical compound, and is known in the nomenclature of that science as C3 H5 BOS. It costs only about twentyfive cents a gallon. It can be used over and over again. It/value is that it can be equally valuable in preserving butter, milk and eggs, as well as fish, flesh and game. The next step of science will be to give us artificially made food.—Demorest's Monthly. -

—It is reported from Deer Isle that four canning factories there are already packing clams and lobsters, and that a large business is expected this season. Lobsters, however, are becoming scarce along the coast of Maine, and the piediction is made that very few will be packed after this year in that section. Three years will close up every lobster factory in Maine, unless something is done for the increased production of lobsters, the present law Doing entirely ineffectual. The total quantity of lobsters caught during the census year of 1879-80 was 14,234,182 pounds, of which 9,494,284 pounds were canned. —It seems that' the organ-grinders, with the rest, are grumbling over the cold and wet season we are having. It keeps them close in their crowded city quarters, when they want to be out on the road, picking up pennies. —“Women are so contrary,” said Blobbs; “ I thought when I got married my wife would darn my socks and let me alone; instead of that she let* mv socks alone and darns me.” THE MARKETS. .*13 00 NEW YORK, June S, 1882. 1? 00 14* 9 00 1 45 1 SI CATTLE—Exports...
