A Curiosity.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal has the following: “Twente years ago, or in the spring of 1849, the superintendent of the burial ground in Hallowell—Capt. John Beeman, who is still one of tbe business men of that city—purchased a number of silver poplar trees, averaging about two inches in diameter at the ground, and five feet in height, and transplanted them in the cemetery. They flourished finely, and have become large trees, adding very much to the beauty of the cemetery. A few days ago one of these trees was cut down by direction of the present superintendent, Colonel W. 8. Haines, for the reason that Its branohes were broken off by the great ice-storm of last winter, and the tree ruined. The fallen tree measured 21 inches in diameter at the stump, and was about 40 feet in length. “ Imbedded in the centre of the trunk was found the original tree, of the same size as when transplanted 20 years ago, but minus the bark. All the growth of the tree had been outside of, and apparently detached from the original. The core or original tree waa loose, and fell from its sepulchre when the trunk was being split, though it was as full of life as when transplanted. Upon the original tree, which is about five feet long, and two inches in diameter at the largest end, were ten knots, showing that number of limbs to have been sawed off when the sappling was set out. The marks of the saw are distinot as if made yesterday. This curious freak of nature may be seen at the store of Capt. Beeman, in Hallowell. It is a genuine curiosity, and worthy of a place in the State’s cabinet. We doubt if a similar specimen can be produced.

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

Curb for Cancer.— An exchange states that a Portland man has cured one of the most dangerous cases of cancer by drinking red clover tea and applying a red clover compress, and thinks it will prove an infallible remedy in all cases. To Make Pencil Marks Indelible. —A great many valuable letters and other writings are in pencil. The following simple process will make lead pencil writing or drawing as idelible as if done with ink: Lay the writing in a shallow dish and poor skimmed milk upon it. Any spots not wet at flrsrmay have the milk placed npon them lightly with a feather, take it up and let the milk drain off, wipe off with a feather the drops which collect on tHe lower edge. Dry it carefully, and it will be found to be perfectly indelible. It cannot be removed even with India rubber.— JSstehange. Time to Graft Trees.— ln reply to a correspondent, the editor of the Gardener’s Monthly says: “ For ‘grafting generally,’ any time is good when growth is going on and there is not too much sap in the cion ; the amount in the stock makes less difference. If there is muhh in the cion, it is liable to rot before the anion takes place. If cions are taken from trees, and kept from drying, sprouting or other injuries, grafting may go on from early spring till midsummer. Those who praise one week more than anether, are those whose * Unlucky ’ time has rather been due to other circumitincea.” Beet Root.— Beet root, when pickled, will keep as long as aHy other kind of pickle. Wash it perfectly clean, but do not cut away any of tha fibres; boil in a large quantity of boiling water, with a little salt, for half an hour; if the skin will come off easily, it is done enough. Lay it on a cloth, and with a coarse one rub off the skin. Cut it into slices, put it into a jar, and pour over it a hot pickle of white vinegar, a little ginger, and horseradish siloed. Cover close. When first taken from the ground, beet root may be kept for winter use by. placing in layers of dry sand; the mould must not he removed from about the root. To Pickle Onions. —In the month of September choose the small, white onions, take off the brown skin, have ready a very nice tin stew pan of boiling water; throw in as many onions as wiTT cover the top. As soon as they look clear on the outside, take them up as quick as possible with a slice, and lay them on a clean cloth; cover them close with another, and scald some more, and so on. Let them lie to be cold, then put them in a jar, or glass, or wide-mouthed bottles, and pour over them the best white wine vinegar, just hot not boiling. When cold, cover them. Should the outer skin shrivel, peel it off. They must look clear. Fumigating Out-Door Plants —Some one having inquired, through the Country Gentleman, how to do this, a correspondent replies: “ Tell ‘ B,’ who asks for information how to fumigate out door plants with tobacco, to invert over the plants a suitable sized, one-headed cask, tub or keg, and put a few live coals in a dish under the cask, and place a little tobacco on the fire, and the fumigation wid soon be completed ; or a funnel made from paper may be inverted over the plants, ana smoke blown from a fumigator, under ft. A cheap and available fumigator may be made from a common tin spice-box, with a suitablelengthed hollow stem fastened to each end of the box; the cover may be made movable. Fill with tobacco, and place live coals behind, and blow through, directing the smoke by the stem, where desired. Hoop-skirt springs may be used in making paper funnels, to better keep the paper in forts an shape.”) Cube . fob Bhaxb Bites.— About twenty years ago the Smithsonian Institute embarked in a series of experiments testing the practicability of neutralizing the poise* of shakes, founded purely on chemical basis, which developed great results. The fact Was illustrated that the poiaon of the most venomous rattlesnake I can be neutralized in an incredibly short

time. After the most extraordinary results from all tee experiment# topreaed, there was promulgated from tee fcetltute at the time above mentioned, the following simple but certain cure for snake bitee, and for the sting of alt kinds of tnasote: Thirty grains or iodine potassum, thirty grains of iodine, one ounce of water; applied externally to the wound by eaturatlug lint or baiting— the same to be kept moist with the antidote until the cure Is effected, which will be In one hoar, and sometimes instantly. The limb bitten should be corded tight to prevent circulation. The liquid should be kept in a viol with a glass stopper. SuooßSTiaM to Bathers —The followlqg suggestions to bathers have recently been issued by the Royal Humane Society of London, and are worthy of consideration : “ Avoid bathing within two hoars after a meal “ Avoid bathing when exhausted from any cause. “ Avoid bathing when the body is cooling after perspiration; but bathe when the body is warm, provided no time is lost In gettiog into the water. ” Avoid remaining too long In the water; leave the water immediately there is the slightest feeling of chilliness. “ Avoid bathing altogether in the open air if, after having been a short time in the water, there is a sense of chilliness with numbness of ths hands and feet. “ Tbe vigorous and strong may bathe early in the morning on an empty stomach. “ The young and those that are weak had better bathe three hours after a meal; the best time for such is from two to three hours after breakfast. “ Those who are subject to attacks of giddiness and faintness, and those who suffer from diseases of the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their .medical adviser.”

Anecdote of Henry J. Raymond.

Mr Raymond was personally exceed ingly popular with all the employes of the Times. His well-known sense of equity and justice made him the person to whom all, high and low, appeal whenever they felt aggrieved. Employes of the press room,the composing room, the proof room, the stereotyping room, equally with the editors ana reporters, came to him for justice whenever they felt aggrieved by the action of the individual under whose especial supervision they were. ’Whatever his decision wits in the matter, for or against the applicant, was received as final, and universally accepted as just. In no one was the spirit of fair play so strikingly manifest. He was sent before the day of the telegraph to Boston to report a speech of Daniel Webster, then in the height of his popularity. Rival city journals also dispatched their reporters, each selecting for the purpose two of their best short hand writers, to work against Mr. Raymond. The speech was delivered, and proved to be one of Mr. Webster's greatest achievements. The several New York reporters took the night boat to return to New York, and all, save Mr. Raymond, gave them selves up to such enjoyment during the evening as the boat afforded. Mr. Raymond sat quietly in the back cabin, and was observed to be writing furiously. Presently one of tifo reporters had his suspicions aroused, and setting out on an exploring expedititm, found that Mr. Ray mond had on board'a small printing office fully equipped. His manuscript wa* taken page by page bv the compositors, set up immediately, and on the arrival of the boat in New York, at 5 o’clock in the morning, Mr. Raymond’s report, making several columns! of the Times, was all in type. These columns were put into the forms at once, and the readers of that journal were at 6 that morning served with a full report of Daniel Webster’s speech delivered in Boston on the previous evening. This, at that time, was one of the greatest journalistic feats on record, and so completely astonished and astounded the IHbune's rivals that they never published the reports furnished by their short-hand writers, bat acknowledged themselves fairly beaten. Another instance when he captured a locomotive which had been chartered by a rival, and by its aid succeeded not only in “ beating ” that rival, but all others, was an anecdote he was fond of relating.

Cultivation of Buckwheat.

It has been said that buckwheat occupies the same position among the grains as the donkej does among animals —useful but not popular. It will grow on the poorest of sandy soils, can be sown later than any other grain; and is one of the best crops for cleaning the land’and for killing the wire worms and other injurious grubs. It has been extensively used for plowing in as a manure. But though it is proved beneficial for this purpose, it is not as good as many other crops that might be used, such as white and red clover. Buckwheat is often sown too early. When too early, the hot sun is apt to blast the flowers. In some parts of New England it is sown early in June, even before the corn is planted. It is best to sow thus early in all sections where there is danger of frosty nights early in the fall, as a slight frost often destroys the crop. In Ohio it is usually not sown until July. We must endeavor to steer between the two dangers, blasting of the flowers in the summer, when sown early, and the deof the crop by frost in the fall when sown late. It succeeds well sown on clover or grass sod. Formerly It was considered best to break up the land in the spring, but lately the practice is to pasture the land, and break up immediately before sowing. From three pecks to a bushel is the usual quantity of seed. Of the use of buckwheat we need not speak. Everybody likes buckwheat cakes on a cold winter morning. It is good food for poultry. Hogs thrive upon and are fond of it. When crushed, it is good feed for horses; more nutritious, it is said, than oats. It is good for milch cows, increasing the quantity and richness of the milk The amount of seed per acre is governed by the strength and condition <>f the soil. On poor lumpy land one bushel per acre should be usea; on strong, mellow soil, from half a bushel to three pecks will be sufficient.— Ohio Farmer.

Insects Hurtful to the Rose.

Roes culturists are frequentlydisappolnted in the result of their labors, by seeing the foliage and flowers of their favorite plants eaten by inscets which appear to baffle all attempts to destroy them. One of the most destructive inscets, the rosesing, is the larva of a saw-fly. (Selandria rota), which so closely resembles the slugworm as not to be easily distinguished Atom it These saw-flit a come out qf the ground at various times between the 20U» of May and the middle of J upmediately lay their eggs by thrusting their saws obliquely into the skin of the leaf, and depositing an egg in each incision. When the young slugs are produced from the eggs, they eat the upper surface of the leaf In irregular patches, leaving the vein and the akin skeletonized. They cast their skins several times, and finally drop to the ground, and barrow into the soil the depth of an inch or more, forming little oval cells, cemented with a little, gummy* nlk. Having performed their transformation and become fibs, they emerge from the ground early in August and lay their eggs for a second brood. These enter the ground late in the frill, and remain in their cells until the ensuing spring or summer.

How Eggs Hatch.

Pnru have an Mea that; the ben rite on the tgg for a certain time, and that when the time come* tor hatching the chick buraU forth. There never waa • greater mistake. The chkifc, until liberated flrom the shell ü by outride aid,” i* aa incapable of motion as if formed a solid with the egg, which it nearly doe*. You might as well enclose a man in an iron boiler, and tell him to get out without tools, as expect a chick to get out of the shell without help. The chick grows and swells In the inside of the shell, untU at last the excrescence on the point of the beak of the bird presses against the inside of the shell, and bursts up a small scale; of coarse when it does this, it at the time breaks “ in that spot ” the inside skin of the egg. This admits the air; in a short time it breathes and gets strength to cry loudly. The ben then sets to work to liberate it; she brings it forward under the feathers of the crop, and supporting it between the breastbone and the nest begins the work of setting her progeny free. She hitches the point of her beak into the hole formed by the raising of the scale by the chicks beak, and breaks away the egg skin or shell all round the greatest diameter of the egg. The joint efforts of the hen without and the cnick within then liberate the prisoner, and he struggles into existence, and gets dry under the feathers, and with the natural heat of the hen. All female birds, which set on their eggs to hateh them have the hook in the beak strongly developed. Even the broad - billed duck and the goose have these hooks specially developed, and with them they liberate their yonng. In Australia, where everything seems to be by contraries, it is the cock of the brush turkey that hatches the eggs and not the hen. It would be interesting to know whether the hook of the beak is better adapted for this service in the male of that bird than in the female; the hook on the beak of the ordinary oock of the common fowl is quite different from that of the hen —it is adapted for wounding in fight, but not far the hatching of eggs.— Exchange.

To Color Carpet-Bags.

For Yellow. —One half pound sugar of lead dissolved iu hot water, one-fourtb pound bicromate of potash, dissolved in a vessel of wood, in cold water. Dip first in lead water, then in the potash, then alternate, until the color suits. For five pounds goods. For Orange,-*- To make the yellow a bright orange, take quick lime slack, and let it settle, then drain it off clear—add sufficient water, so that the goods will not be crowded—bring to a scalding heat for an hour, or until it is bright enough. For Blue. —Dissolve pound of coperas in soft water, sufficient to color five pounds of goods—put in the goods and let them remain 15 minutes, then take out the goods, and take clean soft water, and dissolve two ounces prusiate potash, and put in the goods when it is milk warm, let them remain in this 15 minutes, then take out the goods, and add one ounce of oil of vitriol to the potash dye, when it is only milk warm; put in your goods again, boil for a deep blue, and take out before boilingfor lighter shades. For Oreen. —Take the yellow dyed by the. above recipe, and dye it by the above recipe for dying blue, and you will have a beautiful green. Try it, and see if you don’t Another way for Orange. —Take two ounces of anotto, dissolve them in weak lye, in which put two pounds of goods, dye in Iron, and let it remain two or three days, heating it occasionally.— ,I A.

A Mammoth Vinegar Factory.

Among the myriads who, during this hot and debilitating season, daily refresh a feeble appetite and invigorate a languid digestion, by the varied preparations of which pure, pungent and palatable vinegar forms the principal part, few are aware that this excellent article and culinary staple is mostly manufactured in Chicago. Other vinegar works exist, to be sure, but the most extensive establishment in the United States is that of Mr. C. G. E. Pressing, on State street, near Congress, and it is one of the very few, if not the only one in fact, the production of which is entirely free from all mineral acids and metallic compounds of every kind whatsoever. We assert this upon high chemical authority. It has also been repeatedly subjected to the still severer tests of numerous fair-committee palates, and always received the first prize, while so many health-destroying adulterations are palmed off under the name of vinegar, wholesale buyers should look well to their sources of supply, and we advise them to give Mr. Pressing's house a call before purchasing. —Ommerqial Index.

Elastic Stone-Roofing.

the CblesgoTribune. We are always dteaeed to call the attention of (he public to anytatng of real merit, tad oar reporter baring had occasion yesterday to call at ■be office of the Chicago Elastic Stone-Rooting Company, waa an maca pleaaed with their arrangements that ha could not refrain from giving a short account to the Tribune readers. This company waa organised abont a mar ago. and have put up a commodious manufactory, 10 by TOJeet, iwo stories and basement, fltted with steam power and machinery ample for their wants, and located on the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy Railroad, between Related street and Newberry avenue. They have established local agenU In nearly SOO of the largest towns In the West, from Buffalo, N. V., to Omaha, Nebraska, whom they have another factory and branch, and are having numerous orders for material from all dlrectlone dally, a* a glance at their shipping book will show. Their roofing la composed of coal tar thickened by the addition of kaolin, or fine-ground porcelain clay, that It may not ran from the extreme of eammer heat, and also rendering the material flre-proof: to this they add a preparation of dissolved India rubber and glycerine, and the whole Is thoroughly mixed by machinery. The principle of the roof Is, that upon applying tha material hot to the surface of the (siting, the rnbber not being combined bat simply admixed, rises to ihd surface, forming a dim or envelope over the surface, protecting It from the action es the atmosphere. The glycerine, which will not evaporate, keeps It always eliatlc, so that It will not crack from cold. (Jpon expressing some doubt as to the flre-proof Dropertles of a composition composed of saeh Inflammable materials, the Secretary, Mr. C. F. Hlnman, proposed to demonstrate tha point. Taking a large sample board nearly five feet square, Mr. Htnman made a Are covering a space two feet In diameter, which burned furlonaly for fifteen mlnutea, when the horning brands were thrown off snd a wedge-shaped piece cat from the centre to the outside of the burned portion, and upon taming it hack the boards were found barely warmed and neither coarse of felting broken, and the second coarse unharmed. Messrs. Campbell and Whitman, lnsnrance agents, who were present, suggested building a large fire on the gronnd. and placing the rool above, which waa done, and the fire fed with wood and ooal tar, to make as great heat, a possl ble. After burning nearly twenty minutes, daring which time the sample was so completely enveloped in fiames at tlmea that It could not be seen the boards ware burned through, yet the rodflng failed to give way. A (aw minutes later the felt ing was broken through with a stick te allow the fiames to pass through, and even then the fire confined Itself to the boards and would not spread over the root. After homing twenty-five minutes the test waa concluded satisfactorily. Nearly three-quarters of an hoar on both sides of a sample, snd the roof yet nndestroyed We append .the following certificate from Campbell, Whitman St Wallace, lnsnrance agents: T> Whom U may Concern t _ Cwtoa&o, April 14.1859.

The “Heated Term” is Coming.

The summer months wllT very soon be fairly ushered in with their anltry weather and long train.of diseases. It Is the season when natnre can do little In recuperating our exhausted strength, and when we are required to fortify oar physique against the dangers from the universal prevalency of sickness. Tha only true safeguard is that snra and reliable tonic and invlgorator MIBHLERS HERB BITTERS, which la Indorsed and recommended by the medical faculty and by onnambered thousands of persona in every city, town and village In the country, who have tested Its remedial virtues, and by Its aid preserved or recovered their health. It will pnrifv the Blood and Secretions; cure every form of Indigestion, and afford Immediate relief In cases of Dysentery, Cholic, Cholera. Cholera Morbus, and kindred diseases. Provide yourself now against a time ol need. Delays are often dangerous.

General Debility is Nature’s Appeal for Help.

Thousands of persons, without any specific ailment, are the victims of languor and lassitude. The unthinking are apt to confound this species of lnertlon, with laziness; whereas ttxaually arises from a want of organic energy, for which the snbjecta of it are no more responsible than the near-righted are for their defective vision. Such persons, although they may be free Dorn pain, are as truly invalids, and as much in need of medical aid, aa if they were tormented with the pangs of acate disease. They require a toxic and altbrativz, that will rouse and regulate their torpid organizations. In cases of this kind, HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS produce an Immediate ZUd most favorable effect. The debilitated and desponding valetudinarian, who feels as if he were hat half alive; who shnns company, and has no relish either for business or pleasure. Is metamorphoted, by a brief count of Mi mott potent vegetable invigorant, Mo quite « different being. The change effected by the BITTERS, in his bodily and mental condition, is a surprise to himself and to his frtands. He mopes no longer; the active principle of life, which seemed to have died ant of him, is re-awakened, and he reels like a new man. Remembering that debility is not only an afiUction itself, but an Invitation to dleeaee, no time should be lost in recruiting the broken-down system with this choicest and most potent of all TOXICS AXD XZRVIKZS.
