Reuons are afloat of a marriage between 1 Prince Arthur, of England, and the eldest daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, of Prussia. t SoME women in San Francisco became convinced of the physical value of athletic exercises and established a gymnasium with all the usual appliances. Thus far one leg and two arms have been broken. and the sprains and bruises have not been f counted. A COLORED girl at Brueetown, Ky., aged nine, has displayed an extraordinarily re tentive memory. A man reading in her presence for some length of time -was as tonished to hear her repeat, word for word, what he had read twenty-four hours pre vious. She has been proved capable of re peating fifty lines from a book alter hear ing them once read. IN a letter from Paris to the Utica Her- I ald, Wirt Sikes says: " There are Ameri- i cans who keep shops of every sort here; 1 one of the most popular and ilourishing of dressmakers is a Connecticut man, out of Hartford, named Kingsbury-an artist whose costumes are bought by high-born French dames, and whose vogue is like that of Worth." AN English paper advertises for sale "a 4 Highland minister's complete vade me cum," consisting of a miniature Testament, very large silver-mounted spirit flask, and strong, serviceable corkscrew, fitted in su perline Russia leather case." Highland , ministers, says the Indepcndent, evidently believe that "the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." THE Czar has a new Bible. During his stay in London he was waited upon by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York at Buckingham Palace, where the Primates presented to him a Bible in Russ, trans lated under the auspices of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Dean Stanley was present at the interview. HENRY M. STANLEY, of Dixfield, Fish Commissioner of Maine, has about 100,000 young salmon which he will soon turn Into the Androscoggin, and about 20,000 land-locked salmon for the lakes at the head waters of tha: river. It is the inten tion of the Commissioner of this State to thoroughly stock the riversand lakes with these valuable fish, and with protective fish ing laws he may reasonably hope to have an abundance of them in the future. THE Chinese companies of San Fran cisco, wl*ch are jupposed to exercise a control and government of the heathen population ofCalifornia more effectivethan the authority of duly constituted law, are now collecting all the known thieves, cut throats, and vagrants among their conn trymen, and shipping them back to China. Several hundred have already departed un der the action of this enforcing emigration scheme. V'e rt hei tribe of Indians near Big Pine, Calitornia. Sapsey had a fever, and Little Joe killed him in a bungling attempt to cure him. The tribe were indignant at the malprac tice, and as a punishment dosed Little Joe with the medicine that had killed Sapsey. But the doctor did not die of his own physic. Then he was stoned and stabbed to death. Four of the tribe have been ar rested for the murder. They confess the deed, but do not regard it as crime,arguing that any doctor who cannot cure ought to be put to death. EL DORADo, Placer, Nevada, Calaveras, and other counties of California which lie at the base of the Sierra Nevada, are mak ing strenuous efforts to recover something of their former prosperity They were once the most populous in the State ; but with the decline of mining came the de cline of their prosperity. Since the tide of immigration has been setting in toward Southern Californma their people have be come aroused from the lethargic state into which they had fallen, and are endeav oring to obtain a portion of the new com ers. A WASHINGTON correspondent writes: " Perhaps the woman of the future will be wise enough to know that she cannot obtain a situation in any of the Washing ton departments where there are no va cancies. The woman of the present has no inkling whatever of such knowledge. The steadiest and worst of all Congres sional annoyances is the unreasoning ap plicant fora lady clerkship. Pennsylvania Kelley has one general proposition to these feminine pests: ' First, select the position you most desire,' whispers Kelley serious . ' then kill the woman holding it, and P11 get you into the vacancy.'" AT a recent meeting in Boston of the Massachusetts Anglers' Association, one of the members gave some curious informa tion on the subject of starfish. These the speaker described as moving in great masses, and when they came to an oyster plantation they would spread out over twenty acres of it, and in a single night destroy every oyster. The only way to fight them was to dredge up the "stars" constantly, and this was now being done. They find that the "five fingers ' make a very good dressing for orchard lands, but must be used sparingly for this purpose, as they are a very powerful dressing. Other than this, the speaker knew of no use in them except tobe killed, which saves the lives of a great many oysters. ATHOL, Mass., has a strange case of de praved youthful propensity m a four-year old child, that, from its very cradle, has evinced a constant desire to bite, or rather gnaw, his fingers and hands, until an in dulgence in the appetite seems to be al most his only source of gratification. If left alone he would lie on his back for an hour at a time, chewing his fingers and tearing out pieces of flesh and bone with the voracity of a savage animal. He has pursued tlhis habit with such fatal persist. ency as to reduce all the fingers of both hands to raw and bleeding stumps, while of the thumb of the left hand nothing whatever remains. His parents were first cousins. Ls a book entitled "Six Weeks in the Saddle," a traveler in Iceland gives an amusing illustration of the meaning of ventilation in that country. One night he occupied a bed in alittle chamber tenanted by all the male members of his host's fam ily. Toward midnight he awoke with a feeling of suffocatioh. He aroused the host, who at once jumped out of bed, ex claiming, "1 understand," and going up to one of the timbers which formed part of the support of the wall, pulled out a cork from one of the knot-holes, held it in his hand for about half a minute, andthen, shuddering horribly, pulled a very wry face, and said they would all catch their death of cold, hammered the cork in tight, and jumped back into bed. FARM AND FIRESIDE. STEAM PUDDING.-1 cup chopped rai sins, 2 cups of sweet milk, 1 cup chopped suet, 4 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tea- i spoonful of soda. Spice to your taste, and add a little salt. Steam two hours. RAISED CAKE.-2 cups of raised dough, 2 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of sweet milk, 1 teaspoonful of soda, 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of fruit, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. To be put into the oven at once. EcoNorY Ix IcE.-An ingenious house keeper has discovered that her daily lump of ice will last nearly twice as long when wrapped in newspapers and placed in any kind of covered box, as when trusted sole ly to a refrigerator. FELo.s.-Elder Evans, the Shaker, says: For the past ten years we have treated felons with hot water, and with unerring success. No cutting, no blister ing, no anything, but immersing the fin ger, hand, or even the whole arm if neces sary in water as hot as can be borne, until the pain is gone and the core is loosened and drawn from the bone. When rusty nails have produced wounds, the same course has been pursued. If on the hand or foot, keep it in hot water. A REMEDY FOR TOOTHACHE.-A cor respondent writes to the Scientific Amenri can that the worst toothache or neuralgia coming from the teeth, may be speedily and delightfully ended by the application of a small bit of clean cotton saturated in a strong solution of ammonia to the de fective tooth. Sometimes the late sufferer is prompted to momentary nervous laugh ter by the application, but the pain has disappeared. BAKED APPLE DUMIPLLLNGS.-Ro11 out some dough thicker than pie-crust, and inclose a handful of sliced ripe apples well covered with sugar and butter. Bring the edges together as in any other dumplings. When as many are made as desired, place them side by side in a pud ding pan, spread butter and sugar over them, and pour boiling water to about half cover the dumplings. Put them in the stove and cook moderately fast until they are nicely browned. The butter, sugar and water make a nice sauce, which can be enriched with more butter, and flavored with nutmeg if desired. WET BooTs.-The Agriculturist gives the following advice to farmers who, next to fishermen, are apt to get their boots wet through: "Wnen the boots are taken off, fill them quite full with dry oats. This grain has a great fondness for damp, and will rapidly absorb the last vestige of it from the wet leather. As it takes up the moisture it swells and fills the boot with a tightly fitting last, keeping its form good, and drying the leather without hardening it. In the morning, shake out the oats ani hang them in a bag near the fire to dry, ready for the next wet night, draw on the boots, and go happily about the next day's work." A SIMPLE DISINFECTANT.-Roasted cof fee, says the Homnropathic World, is one of the most powerful means, not only for rendering animal and vegetable efftluvia innocuous, but of actually destroying them. In proof of this, the statement is made that a room in which meat in an ad vanced degree of decomposition had been kept for some time was instantly deprived of all smell on an open coffee-roaster being carried through it containing one pound of newly-roasted coffee; and in another room, the effluvia occasioned by the clear ing out of a cesspool, so that sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia could be clearly detected, was entirely removed within half a minute on the employment of three ounces of fresh coffee. The best mode is to dry the raw bean, pound it in a mortar, and then roast the powder on a moder ately heated iron plate until it assumes a dark brown hue; it is in this state ready for use. YEAST ND YEAST CAKE..-P1are 4 good l sized potatoes, and put with a large hand ful of hops into 1 quart of cold water, and boil, being careful in handling the hops not to lose the lupuline, or fine yellow powder of the hop, wherein consists its I chief strength. When the potatoes are i done, take them out, mash fine, and mix i; with them half a teacupful of wheat flour, I and a little salt. Strain upon this the water from the hops, which must be very hot. When the batter is cool enough,that S is blood warm, add a teacupful and a half o of yeast, and set in a warm place to rise. c When perfectly light, pour into a stone jug, cork tightly, and set in the cellar. For h yeast cakes, proceed as above till the addi- e tion of the flour, which omit, substituting a Indian meal, stirring it in as you add the boiling hop-water, until the mixture is ( very stiff. When sufficiently cool, add a teacupful of yeast, which it will be neces sary to work in with the hand, and let stand six or eight hours; then make into t long rolls, and cut in slices about an inch d thick; sprinkle dry meal on plates, bo:irds or tins lay on the cakes and place where 0 they will dry quickly. --- i: The Cotton Crop in the Southwest. The New Orleans Times of a late date a says : An attache of the Times has spent the t past two dlays investigating the condition s and prospects of the cotton crop in the re gions tributary to New Orleans. Nearly 7 allof the leading factors, and in some in stances well-known planters just arrived fiom their plantations, have been inter viewed, their correspondence consulted , and their views obtained. Naturally we have felt great anxiety not to fall into any extreme or ultra ideas on this subject. With equal tare we have sought not to adopt conclusions without testimony derived from the most re liable sources. Manifestly it would be the ex treme of folly to attempt at this time an estimate of how much cotton will or will not be produced. To do so would justly impoverish our claim to consideration in what we propose now to say on this deli cate and important question. Much of the eotton lands have only just been planted, much is now only being planted, or rather replanted as the overflow waters subside. The season is late, and it is im possible in the very nature of the case that anybody should be able to even form an opinion what yield to expect from this re planting. An absolute concurrence of fa vorable conditions might result in crops excellent and abundant But late plankt ings are more liable to unfavorable contin gencies than early ones. Drouth is more trying to young and tender plants than to those which have acquired substance and strength; they are also more liable to de struction from worms should that pest make its appearance. Obviously some idea can be formed, however, as to the probable amount of loss of crop by reason l of the flood or decline in acreage, since in either case the losses are already partially t ascertained. The decline in acreage is be lieved to be about 10 per cent. It is well known that a general sentiment p levailed throughout the cotton belt, that it would be a wise policy on the part of the plan L ters to reduce the area of cotton and i increase the area of corn. In Georgia, it will be remembered, the Grange organiza tion of the State strenuously urged the r planters to reduce their cotton one-third, _and correspondingly increase their corn. It is not likely the recommendation was followed to the extent named, but it is cer tain a reduction was made in favor of an increased production of corn. The senti ment in Georgia found zealous advocates in all the Valley States, where cotton is raised, and not a doubt exists but that it operated on all planters more or less. It was favored by our factors, and if any reliance can be placed on the planters, then is our estimate of the decline in cot ton acreage verified. In taking the opinion of leading mer chants and factors as to the general crops of cotton in the country tributary to New Orleans, one of them expressed himself in substance thus: Of the crops generally, it may be said that they were retarded by the drouth; in all the districts overflowed. where the water disappears in time, the planters in some way--" by hook or by crook"-manage to replant. In the high lands of Louisiana tihe planters have been stimulated, in a few instances, by the sup posed loss of crops in the lowlands to in .rease the cotton acreage over and beyond that contemplated at the beginnining of the planting season. This is true more par ticularly of the highlands of Mississippi, where the Grangers, instead of planting the amount of corn intended, hare fallen back upon something like the plantings of last year. Hie was, therefore, of the opin ion should the replant escape the worm to which it will be particularly subject on account of its tenderness, that the product will not fall short as has been generally believed. Another gentleman of even greater prominence, and who stands at the head of the factors in this city, whose opinions are justly esteemed of great value because of his large experience and acknowledged ability, concurred in the views given above. From all sources of information we are led to believe that the loss in the crop of 1874, outside of 10 per cent. in the acre age, will probably fall short of 200,000 bales, and may not exceed 150,000 bales. 'these conclusions are necessarily hypoth etical, and assume the favorable contin gencies of the weather and absence of the cotton worm until such time as the re plant cotton shall sufficiently mature to escape its ravages. A MELANCHOLY accident has just occur red in Switzerland. Mr. and Mrs. Lis keard, a young English pair on their wed ding tour, set out with a party of friends to make an ascent of Mont Blanc. When they had reached the summit of the Corri dor, the ladies felt the cold so severely that the guides advised the party to return. All were fastened together with ropes, and the bride set out leaning on the arm of a guide. Hardly had they taken a hundred paces when Mrs. Liskeard and her com panion suddenly disappeared down a cre vasse, covered with a slight layer of frozen snow. Unhappily the rope by whic4 they were connected with the others broke, and they were seen no more. The husband at once procured extra assistance from the Grands-Chalets, but the bodies could not be recovered, and it is thought they are some thousand feet down in the mountain. The death of the two unfortunate persons must have beens instantaneous. DR. R. V. PIERCE, of the World's Dis pensary, Buffalo, N. Y., whose Family Medi cines have won golden opinions and achieved world-wide reputation, after patient study and much experimenting, succeeded in perfecting a Compound Extract of Smart-Weed, or Wa ter Pepper, that is destined to become as cel ebrated as his other medicines. It owes its efficacy not entirely to the Smart-Weed, which, however, is a sovereign remedial agent, but largely to a happy combination of that herb with Jamaica Ginger and other vegetable agents. The combination is such as to make it a very pleasant remedy to take. Taken internally, it cures Diarrhea, Dysen tery (or Bloody Flux), Summer Complaint, Cholera, Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum, Colic, Cramps and Pain in the Stomach, breaks up Colds, Cramps. Febrile and Inflam matory Attacks, Rheumatism and Neuralgia.
