E Diruso, Rcc Sec ' angJ "Dream, oh! youth," Mys llulwcr in one or hU loftiest stories of household life j 'dream niiiiifiilly and nobly, nnd thy rlrentns shall bo jirophots nnd before htm Schiller struck a kindred chord when ho bade the reader 'cling to the dreams of his youth;' while Victor Hugo puts the thought to the test of practi cal suggestion, in language that may be para phrased, " We might more often tell the rent nnture of man by his day-dreams, il we knew them, than by his notions, for the dream is tho spontaneous olfchot of his leing, but bis acts mny be governed or produced by exter nal circumstances.' Indeed, if we could jien etrate the veil underneath which the human heart and brain are shielded, we sbjyld JJuil that tho day-dreams cliorhhed there exert a manifold Influence upon the characteristics of men, and, whether for failure or sucrae, point as with an index linger to their future desti nies. There are probably few classes among the myriads of earth's workers in whom the dreaming or imaginative faculty is more fully developed, and in whom it is accorded greater range, than among inrentor?, for ide ality and constructivencM arc the agencies that gnve'birth to new creations of beauty and usefulness alike in science and in art, nnd tne same in all molds from the common inci dents and appliances of life, the forms of beau ty and utility that endure for ever. No improvement ever came into the world but had the archetype in the dreams of him who made it, and although the though U of tno writer, the subjects or the arttat, and tne mechanical 'principles of the projector may all be old, yet imagination in dels csc arran ges them in new relations with each other, and the hitherto unknown form looms up the incarnation of the dream. In the old times a jwinter took for his model the face of a woman ho saw passing in the street, and under his brush the orarte features softened until the calm lineaments that his imagination had pictured looked down from the wall of the Vatican, where men stop to gaze and iionder upon their won drous beauty to this day. Ijiter, ajioet noted the tleejR'r and softer elements of tbe human nature around him, then wrapping them in the folds of his own thought, wrote the story of Genevieve, and for ever after the world re fused to forget the song. So, once, a man thought that tho futile experiments of those who Bad lived before htm might yet m brought to more useful form, and in his day-dreams saw machinery linking without twwer of horse or wind or water, and anon the dream took shape in the productions of the forge and the founder', and now the great pnko if tho world beaU with the throb of steam; yet had there been no dreaming, no kindling amid the shade of the present of uncreated light to illumine the future, no angel face would have beamed frcm the temple wall, no rhyme would have made misty the eyes of the thoughtful, and no new motor would hare guerdoned the earth with its colhw.i.fll power. Surely the day-dreams that gave birth to thac had their uses in the world. We know that whilo we write, in work shops where the fluors jar with the motion of drill and plauur and engine lathe, and where sharp tools cut and chisel and mold wood in to a thousand shapes of usefulness; in ship yards, where the bound of the hammer and j calking mallet are never stilled, and on farms where the Harvester ana the horse-rake are brought out ready for their work, there are men who are dreaming dreams in which new machines stand cit to their gaze in fairer proportions and with greater promise than those they have known before, in which new proceaeea take form to produce results great er and more useful than the old method have It is now about 8 or elevefr years Finco folks began to hanker after the! tomato. About that tirrm some doctor ov plls disscktcd one of these vagrant vegetable and diskovered tome doktor stuff in them. As soon as folks fonnd on: they was fisick, they began to be very swec on the tomater. At that time thev wuz in the habit ov growing in sly piaces,wherdthey wan'tafmid, over behind stone walls, atjong broken jugs, dead kaU, and old Injun ubW boots, for jK'nple wouldn't let them grow in gardens enny more than they would, a kannadii this selb I Thev wnr vni'dliond uifn1o nnil nvtn ti wood Log wouldn't oat onejey the brrys thut grows on them enny quicker than ho would a ball or red stocking yafn. Hut it waz decided" that there wuz sum pills in them, and they were put to nuss in jwt and vase, and lived on the phat ov the land, in hot houses, along side or tiger lillies and roses ov s baron. It took most folks about 18 months or per severance and sea-icknes togetthotomatoze to go quietly down, and from a vile wood. more smelly than a dead klam, the tomater has actually got to be more honorated than a buckwheat slapjack, or even a ponkiupi. This shows what love and aireekshun will do. I havn't any doubt that if Professor Itats lane would my professionally, that waiw' nests was good to make a moosteche grow black, half the men in the country would get a wa'p and go into the nest bozr.iues. I don't belfere a tomater will keen a man say more healthy than red cioror will, but l tn just like every one else, 1 wanted to get some better than I wuz, and I went to school to the tomater, and have got learnt how to eat them, if they are filled with salt and pep er, and soaked well in good aider vinegar.

There is one thing that I do hope, that no body will undertake to make kaHer He one of the luxuries until after I am dead, for kas tcr ite and bed bugs iz 2 things that I sol emnly swear 1 won't hare, if I got to b ever so fashionable. Decay of the Crow IndiansTheir toms and Mode of Life. Cus- The Crows are jwor, possessing but few ponies, and the few they have aro jo-'r in fiualitr. I'lnd ranidlv decreaini in nutnljers. Other Indians ure constantly stealing from them, and they can neither buy nor steal enough to make up for their losses. An Ab-ra-reu-ka chief who possesses a doien ponies is called in his tribe wealthy. The men arc ignorant and slothful, and look upon labor as degrading and only fit for women. Hiding their ponies after buffaloes and stealing hor ses from neighboring tribes is the extent of their lalxirs, and in such exercise they find great pleasure. They comjiel their women to do all the labor, and often reward the overworked creatures with neglect and cruel ty. The squaws are sometimes sold lo the whites, and a pretty one may be got for a poney. One of the chiefs offered me his daughter in exchange for my horse. She is youn and pretty, and I thought her rbeap at this price, but for reasons known to dis creet husbands, I declined hie generous offer. Almost all of the women are filthy, degraded and olcenely vulgar. It would be difficult to find a dozen virtuous women in the whole tribe. They barter their persons in the same way, unconscious of wrong, m they sell a buf falo robe, ami think a few cot of sugar pays theta well for either one or the other. They rarely reach the age of fifteen years before taking husbands, and some marry as early a thirteen years. They consider no part of an animal too filthy fr I hem to cat. When a buffalo is killed, the entrails are torn out and thrown on the ground near the carcas. and the feist is prepared. Tbe papooses thrust their faces into the heart and liver, and eat with tbe vim of hugry wolves. The squaws wije the Iunch over the grass am) tear it into strips a foot long and two inches wide these strijH are tied into bunches of knot and swallowed without much ceremony. The large bones are broken, and the marrow, dug out with the finger, goes down with the iMuncb. Car tilage, almost as bam na boae, is chopped a How to Make Sprcc k llnr.R. 1.

It will be in good condition to drink in twenty-four hours. It is a palatable, whole some beverage. '1 Those who prefer wend have only to substitute honey for the molasos named above, and for one-third the ginger umj all epico. Half the quantity of yeast will Iks suflicient, and the bottling should occur the second dav instead of the next morning. It will be fit to drink in four days after being bottled, and will keep for many weeks. A small quantity of alcohol is formed during the fermentation, and this prevents the acetous fermentation o common to ?priH bcor. Tho essence of spruce is of course left out in the making of mead. Tho alcohol formed from the fermentation of honey resembles that found in wethttjlin, while the alcohol formal from the fermentation of molasses is rum. Those who imagine that they can make either spruce beer or mead without entirely forming any alcohol are mistaken ; Hut It is present in so slight a proportion as not to be sensible to the most delicate temperance norvos. , I r .sali: A .II1IV 0 IW-ott, "June 12, ltxW.

This highly moral onter tainment wits not witnessed alone by native Califbrnians, but ainonir the audience was a liberal sprinkling of ail clashes. Tho arena ii which the fight took phu-e was a small en closure of from flvo to six rod square, in the centre of which was an upright twst, to which the bear was chained by the hind and the boll by tbe foro leg. The bnllV horn were sawed about one-third off, to pit him on a fair footing with bnrin who was Mind. Tbe spectators arranged themselves around the small enclosure as best they could; the pay ment of a dollar entitling one to a seat on the aricrAt2c side, neur worno com set on end to keep the sun off, which they failed to do. Considerable time was spent in getting the animals in pontkm. The first War being Idind not much of a Aght was to be expected of him. Tbe most revolting thine of the whole performance was to see the satisfaction manifested when the poor blind bear was being frightfully hooked by the tawed -ofT horns of tho infuriated bull. Thk Itepuhlican National Platform express ly leaves tbe whole suffrage question to the States, each to control it as it sees fit.

Co. triumph and succes,or, likea wil-o'-the-wisp, lead him to failure and disappointment, must in each case depend upon the manner in which he reals the historic that other dreams bavo left in the annals of mankind, and which teach but the single and oft-reiterated moral that, no matter how fair tho vision, it can only bo realized by long labor and strict obe dience to the laws which, in their respective spheres, control every department of human ctlort.

Half an hour was expended in vain attempts to get them together, after the rop Imd been removed and they were expected to go at it. When they did come together, after much urging, the encounter was a ternticone, the bear grabbed the bull bv the nose, throw ins his naws around his neck, and in this em brace of death almost it seemed, bull and bear both rolled oier in a creat cloud of dust amidst groat cheering. The bull, in this en counter, seemed worsted, and moaned pile ouslv. but the bear said not a word though fearfully kicked and trampled. "When tb animals showed a disposition to stop the fight, they were again urged on by the brutes having the mangement. And thus it contin ued until dark, and longer foraught we know to the contrary.

After Mr. Rennett hail satisfied his hunger, lie made a bargain with Major Noah and went to work. His duties included sweeping out tha office in tho morning, in addition to his more literary vocations.

Tbe Crows poess thousands of dogs, bat, unlike other tribes, they do not eat them.

The Dos Moines (Iowa) SMe RtgiiUr toll this story : "Governor Merrill on Monday pardoned Mrs. Catharine Macardle, the old lady who has boon in tbe State Penitentiary tor four years. This old woman, full of maternal de votion, heroically sacrificed horelf to save her son from tbe'gallows. The son bad killed Ut. r. n.t . ! ,h.hAr tr, at'nrt thrt fffwttn from her offspring, claimed and confessed that it was she who bad committed the murder, and on her own confession was condemned to bo hung. Governor Stone commuted her sentence to imprisonment far life. The poor woman, after one or two attempts to commit suicide in the Jackson county jail, was finally sent to tho jtenitentiary, and in the gloomy elasp of that prison she has been for four years, waiting and praying for death. When we visited the penitentiary last fall she was shrivelled in body and nearly so in mind. For four years she had received no word or ti dings from her friends ; sixty-five years old, with hor right arm palsied and helpless, aban doned by all of her blood, a victim to heroic mothurtv devotion, and with tbe light of onrth, and seemingly that of heaven, shut out from her, she was truly as sad an object ercr trod the path of woe. Many persous have Interested themselves in her behalf, and ut lost, through tho kindness and consider ntoness of our noble Governor, the disgraceful chains are stricken from hor aged limbs, and she is onco more free, but we fear not happy.

If tbe flower-pot has a bole in the bottom, com it with a eork. Set it all in a cool place, and occa-ionally drench the whole with cold water. If it is arranged in the morning, and projHTiy attended to durins the day, the but ter for tea will be nearly as firm as if kept in an ice-boue. If the flower-pot be wrapped with a cloth, it will be still better. The Kansas City Journal of Cmnmeree illus trates the intensity of the heat in that city as follows: Yesterday a man wanted to find how high np his thermometer had ran. He took a lad der to go np and h- but melted before he got half way np the ladder and run down again. , He was eaaght in r. tin pail by his afflicU-d wife who ss a. -Unding at the foot of the lad der and hsng down in the eiitem in hope that he would survive.
