A corresjM.inloiit of the Iniics' Floral 'aliiKt nays: I have sonic hints on win l w ranlcnin whieh will iimliabls prove of some value to those that are always tr yinji to fnul out tliflerent ways of grow in- and arranjrin flowers. First, pro cure a wooden lmx, quite shallow, and ah ut twelve inches lonand eight inches wide, and if convenient line it through inside with zinc, and punch alaiut four holes in the liottoni of the Ijox for drainage. Then irKccd as follows : Fill t!ie U, with rich dirt I think what is c tlled chij dirt is very frood, as I have used it 1 r growing plants and they reined to thrive splendidly then mix w ith this chip dirt some leaf mold, if it can lie procured, and if not, just a little sand and dirt will do; now you have your Ikix ready to plant your llowers ; so you may choose iu.-t what llowers you like. I have a Ihx in which is planted coctils, ivy, vcrlx-nas, iortulaca, Wan dering Jew, and thus they form a mini ature window garden. I think that if one would plant in a lix a row of hya cinths, a row of tulips, and a row of ero- u-cs( and have them all hloom at the viiiii' time, it would le a licautiful Might, :md in winter who would not enjoy them? I think it is so cheerful to r-ce tinners in winter even green leaves are pretty in winter. I would advise every ne to prow the green Wandering .lew, and keep it through the winter, as it is quite ea.-ily kept; if watered occa sionally with ammonia water it w ill keep green and grow luxuriantly through the w inter. e have some growing in a hanging laket that has growen to the length of six feet and nine inches, and very one that sees it admires it ; it is the longest one I have ever seen. When you have your laix all filled with plants you can ornament it on the out-.-idc by eoveritig it witli rough bark, which can le procured by taking a wall in the country around the Woods. and then when it is covered varnish it with lamar varni.-h ami it will lx- quiet pretty. An other pretty ornament is to take a 11 of water and put ill two sweet potatoes, atnl in several weeks they will sprout and throw out their preen leaves, and it will lie a lxautit'ul vine, ami can lie trained in any manner which the taste of a per son niav doire. And still another 1 Nam i !'u I window orna ment is to have a Wardiaii cast filled with caila liliesand witerliliesaiid lyco podium. , irixwt wav to make a anha:i c:im' is to procure a common table, and then to take oil' the top and turn it up ( tin- wrong side up) and line it with zinc ; then pet four window sillies, one for each side and one for each end, and also one for the top, and it makes a very cheap ward ease; and a ward cases are very ex iisive, this will not exeettl, 1 do not think, more than live dollars, if it dots that much; ami you cannot pet one already made for lcs than twenty-live or thirty dollars ; so I think this information will be prized vi ry highly. Another ornament is to get a large white KjM.p.ge and plant in it wheat, grass, flaxseed, or rice, and place it in u saucer or plate filled with water, and immerse il daily, and in a wc k or two it will Ixtmie preen, and then it can lie sux mled in a window with a picture or common cord run through it. now to maki: i: ; .i:i'i.rs.

They can generally be obtained of carpet dealers at from .sixty cents to one lobar a yard ; but often a .smoother and handsomer arl icle can lx' made at home, at least ready for the lixnn. For this purpose save the old clothes old llaiinel, sheets, and underganiit tits, old divr-scs. in fact, every thing which will make long strips. Old clothes of pood colors are doubly valuable. Calicoes not too much worn are excellent material. Cut into strips alKiiit an inch Wide, sew end to end. and wind smoothly into bails of about one jxnind weight. Allow from oia-ami one-loiirth to one and one-half pounds of rap to a square yard of carpet ing. Collect all odd pieces of any color lor the Moaic or hit-and-miss stripe. Cut and mix these t liourouplily before sew ing, so as to make this stripe as uni form as possible. A few pounds of rem nants from a woolen factory or soft list ings, of any needed color, make a nice stri-, and require little sewing. I o not put lix much black into a kild-.cn car x t, as it is not a strong color and shows the dust more than other colors. A strix- of several shades of red brightens up a caret wonderfully and who objects to a little brightness in the kitchen? White woolen rags take a nio cochineai led. whit.- cotton a durable green from fustic and logwood set with blue vitriol. A cinnamon color may Ik- dyed copper as. S leet a coarse strong warp of some lark color brown ami Mate colors are good allowing one muml of warp for every three and one-fourth yards of car-x-ting. Keep the exact weight of rags and warp, to compare with weight of carjx't when returned, and employ a pood weaver. .Many prefer a kitchen carx-t put down with rings, as it can thus le easily taken up ami shaken.

How to know ki;i:.-ii mi:at am i ism. Ox lx-ef should lie of line grain or fiber, the flesh or lean of a bright red color and linn; the fat white, and distributed throughout the lean ; it should not lx. yellow or semifluid. If the meat is en tirely lean it will be tough and its nutri tive power low. Heifer lieef is close grained, but paler than the preceding; the fat is very white and the lames are small; its flavor and nutritive xwcr are inferior, and its value therefore less. nun ixvi is ot a very oai K color, n noes not contain much fat. is generally tough, and has a strong meat-like color, and an uiiilasant taste. Jt should never lie Used. cal is dry if froh. It should lx close-grained. If the meat is moist and flabby it is stale. .Mutton should be of a clear deep pink tint ; firm and with a liberal supply of fat. Fine wether mutton may lx- recog nized by the presence of a small mass of fat on the upper part of the leg. It is more nutritious than ordinary mutton, and the darker its tint the liner its fla vor. Fork should be of a pale pink tint, ami the fat very firm. If it is soft or if the fat is yellow the meat is bad. If it is semifluid the animal has probably been fed on flesh. It must not lv forgotten that pork is apt to contain certain para sites, viz., the eysticcrcus, which pro-, duces tapeworm, and the trichina npira- hs. - If the eyes arc bright and the feet sup ple in poultry and birds, thf y are fresh ; but if these signs are absent they are either diseased or stale. Fish should always lie used as fresh as ixissible ; when in this state the eyes are bright, the eyes of a fine red color, and the Ixidy stiff. It would lc a great im provement if fish were alw ays kept alive at the stalls. It is by no means an lmjiossi bility in the case of fresh water-fish, for in Switzerland and in other Eu rowan countries, they are preserved in tanks of water at the hotels, and only Kitiea wnen wanted for a meal. ALUM BASKETS. The framework of alum baskets is usually made of thin wire, woven in and out, and wound over in every part, to produce a rough surface. Dissolve the alum in rather more than twice the quantity of water that will cover the basket, 'handle included. Put in as much alum as the water will dissolve, and when it will take no more, filter it through a piece of brown pajier into a saucepan. If you wish the basket to lx colored, the dye must le added lie fore the process of filtering. To produce crimson, uho an infusion of cochineal ami madder; for bright yellow, lxi'd gamlxige, muriate of iron, or turmeric in the sol ution. P.hie crystals may lx- obtained bv preparing sulphate of copier, coni nlonlv called blue vitriol, in the same manlier that alum is prepared. lor pale blue, equal jxirtions of blue vitroil and alum : and for trrecn, add these two 1; si ingredients a few drops of muriate of iron, i he solution being nltered ixiii u gent iv until it is reduced to half the quantity; put it in a vessel large enough to admit of the basket; suspend the latter from a stick laid across the top.so that about basket and handle are entirely immersed. It must then lx put in a cool place where there will not lie the slightest motion to disturb the formation of the crystals. It is well to lx ar in mind that the colored basket should lx kept quite out of the reach of children, as they look very '..cnipting, but are decidcly poisonous. The I5oy In Church. He was playing at the gate as I went past, and I heard his father call out: " l!oy, you want to gallop in here and get rcadv for meeting ! " " SI J !"" briefly replied the lad. "Sai! I'll see Voti. voting man, if you, don't trot in here lively! You'd be as bad as Jesse l'onicroy if left with out a father for three months!" " I would, hey?" "No sass, voting man; it's time you were getting ready for church!" The minister was giving out his text when the lxiy and his father came in. There was considerable improvement in the lad's hxiks. His hair had Ix-en greased ami comlx-d, he had on his Sun day jacket, and there was a religious hxik in his eyes as he fell into the x-w. I ought to have listened closely to the sermon; but I did not. The lxiy and his father Was in the jx-w next ahead, and I couldn't help but watch him. I nvc my opinion of forcing lxiys of ten twelve years of age to listen to ser mons which not one adult mind in five ean fully grasp,' and I was willing to chance my theory on that lioy's actions. Ib- got along very well for the first ten minutes. Then he asked his father what time it was, and when the parent replied w ith a warning shake of the head the lxy cast around him for something to interest his mind. The preacher set tled down to his discourse ami the lxy settled down to his plan of wearing away the coming hour. He reached over and got hold of his father's silk hat, and was trying to remove the band when the parent bxik it away and bent over ami whispered : " l'oy, if you don't pay attention to the preacher I'll break your neck when we get home L" The lad fixed his eyes on the clergy man. He saw that the pood man had auburn hair, blue eyes, florid complex ion, and was well dressed. He heard him make us - of such words as "fortu itous," "unexampled," and "repellant," and without being able to tell vhethcr they referred to a new kind of string-Ix-ans or the gospel of Christian light, he reached out and secured his father's cane. He jxuniched at several flies, crammed the silver head into his mouth until he turned purple in the face, and finally reached over and jobbed a woman under the left shoulder. His father then grasjied the cane, laid it away, and whispcreu: "Young man, I'll tan the hide ofl'n you when we get home!'' The words were intended to make the boy pay strict attention to the balance of the sermon. He straightened up, looked at the preacher again, and tried hard to understand the discourse. The pixxl man was trying to explain the difference be tween theoretical and practical Christian ity, and in two .minutes the lad's eyes were fixed on the chandeliers. He counted the numlx r of burners over and over, and forgetting himself for an instant he lx-gan to sing. His lather gave him a kick and leaned over and whispered: " h! lxiy I'll make you hump the min ute we get into the house!" Knowing that his father would keep his word, but yet hoping to break the force of the pros-jK-ctive "peeling" by being real gixxl for the next half hour, the lxiy fu-cd the clergyman again. He knit his brows and plainly showed his determination to tin "1 rstand ami interest himself in all that was said. The good man was drawi ng a parallel, and a dozen of the church mcm-Ix-rs were half asleep. It wasdiscourage ing, and after two or three minutes the lxiy got hold of a bit of psqx-r, wadded it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it awhile, and then balancing the wad on his thumb, he elevated it ten feet towards the ceiling. The law of gravitation applies to paper wads as well as to iron weights. Thisone came down in a short time, and, as luck would have it, it struck the bald pate of the half-asleep sexton. The victim gave a start of alarm, w hirled quickly around and the lxiy's father pinched him savagely and whisx'red: "Oh! I'll fix you for this! Just let me get you home once!'' I couldn't see how the lxiy was to blame. He couldn't understand one word in ten of the sermon; he saw a dozen men around him sleepy; it was a hot day; he was a nervous boy and used to moving around, and his ow n father had lxen gazing out of the w indow in an absent way for a quarter of an hour. 1 le made a last grand 1'llbrt. He braced his nerves, shut his teeth hard, and sat asereet as a new hitch ing post. The clergyman seemed to look right at the lxiy as lie used twenty big words in succession, and the lad gave it up. He ox-ncd the X'W door, and was trying to entice a small dog to come in when his father awoke and whisjiercd: "You wait oh, you just wait!" The exercises closed just then, and the b iv walked home lx hind his parent to get a rosing dow n lor not having the mental calibre of a full grown man, and for not sitting still and piing to sleep like his father. " Mixi.k I'icki.ix Those who jxissess a vegetable garden do well toward the close of the season to keep an omiiiiuii ij'tliiriim pickle-jar containing strong vinegar, in which to throw small toma toes, tiny years of corn, cauliflower sprigs, radish, pods, small onions, strawberry-tomatoes, nasturtions and small cueumlx-rs. When the jar is full, pour oil' the vinegar, spice it with peppercorn or green prpixrs, doves, allspice, salt and ginger. Add tumeric or mustard seed to yellow it. Boil it for ten to fifteen minutes and turn it over the pickles. The IHvorce r the Alexis. brand Duke We have been told from St. Petersburg that the (J rand Duke Alexis, son of the Czar, is just divorced. His was a Ger man maid of honor, for whom the em press had a great ali'eetion. She was not pretty, I am told! but extraordinarily graceful, and posscscd of that fascination which is a better gift than Ix-auty. S the (irand Duke fe'l head and ears in love, and the lady, confiding in her mis tress' atlcction, undertook to break the news. It was done, and in a few hours after the lady found herself traveling at express speed toward the frontier, while the prince received orders to join his ship. Thus they were separated for awhile. Put it is hud to control a prince, harder to rule a sailor; and a I sailor prince in love must be worse to hold than quicksilver. The Grand Duke ran away, of course, found the ladv, and married her at a village church in Germany. Thence they went to America, where two or three years they dwelt in perfect happiness. The Czar it is said, would not forgive, nor would the prince humble himself. But the empress interjKised at length, both for her son and her ex-maid of honor. And so, after a time, a reconciliation took place. This week the solemnities of the divorce are all completed; the (irand Duke enters the army, and his widow receives a pension. Seeing she is but twentv-onc, she has time for more romantic adventures, but greater she can scarcely hope for. Umdon Daily Acict. Sea Cows. The Philadelphia Evening Telegram says: On the 5th of last month two manatees, or sea cows, Were received at the zoological praden from Dcmsuara, the onlv'speeinicns ever brought to the United" States, and the only ones that have ever Ix-en exhibited in any zoolog ical collection in the world. These interesting creatures Were cap tured in'the Demarara river, in Piritish Guiana, South America, by natives, who use rojies for the purpose. 1 hey weigh alxmt three hundred pound each. They made the voyage in the brig "William McKeah, which arrived at Baltimore on Tuesday, and do not appear to have suf fered in any uegree lrom the fong trip. Thev were housed in tanks supplied with fresh water, which Wits changed every few days during the voyage, alid their fixxl was chief! V etass and bread. Since the arrival of the animals the management has lx-en erecting a tem porary tank in the Carnivora house, and to-morrow the sea-cows will be placed on exhibition. The Manatus Americamts, or sea-cow, as it is commonly called, is a gregarious aqnatic animal like the whale, but is herbivorous, and is found alxjut tropical South America. It has a hand-shaped flipper, or finger, and belongs to the class Screma. Jake a tug, tie his hind legs and curly tail, and flatten theni into a broad, flat apiR-ndage, like a lieavcr's -i i V . o . i l il ... l:!.- iau; turn ins loreieei into paames, iiivc a turtle's flipper, cut off his ears, give him valvular nostrils like a seal, reduce his eyes to one-fourth their size, and then you have a manate. The iKxtple in Demarara call this animal the "sea pig." His eyelids are very peculiar: they are formed of muscular rings, like India-rublx-r rings. The hairy -eared rhinoceros has the same peculiar forma tion of eyelids. The manatee's eyes are very minute, and of a dull, blue, color. The manatee lives in the shallow bays and quiet rivers of Central and Siuth America. The length of a full-grown manatee is from fourteen to sixteen feet, and would average the weight of alxmt one thousand five hundred ixuinds. The flesh of the animal is considered a great delicacy when roasted. It has the flavor of jxirk with the taste of veal. The upiK-r lip is full, and cleft in the middle, and covered inside with tufts of st lit bristles, like those of the walrus. They are considered honiologues of the whalelxine in the mouth of the whale, and it certainly appears that this is a fact. The manatees are said to lx1 whale-like in habit, and, when at home, to leap out of the water in a whale-like manner. They were formerly abundant in the en trance of the Oroneo and the Amazon. They also ascend the rivers ami take up their ataxic in the fresh-water lakes. The manatee is used by the natives for fixxl, and is also sought for its fat. The Boatswain's Slory. Come, my hearties; what signifies grief? Why should the pumps of the heart set the scuppers of the eyes a-going? We've got to take fair weather and foul, just as they come. Why, in that there last voyage of mine from the West "Ingees" my limbs! there was work for you. Sailed from Kingston harlxir in the Terrible thirty-six an old craft, with her upK-r works strained, like an old maid's, lxith with the chinks stopjied with paint and putty. Had a sodger for a passenger, with his wife. My eyes! what top-lights she had, ami two pickaninnies under tow of a nigger named Pumlx, with his heels as long as a marling spike. On the 10th nasty weather; moon looked like a dirty plate; black clouds and a heavy sea ; wind hauled around to the norrard, rough as a xlarbear, and blew strong enough to strip the hair off of old Nick; called all hands way aloft, took in to'gallant sails, hauled up the courses, and got three reefs in the top-sails. The sea made a clear breach over us ; reefed the top sails, and hove her to under main try sail; reefed spanker and jib. In reefing top-sails, the sodger thought he'd lx-ar a hand aloft, but Ix-ing a lublx-r, tripjx-d at the futtoek shrouds and overboard he went. The nigger went over after him in the turning of a handspike never waited for sailing orders, but slipped the cable of an honest heart, and set sail to rescue his master The jxxir, dear lady came ondeck with the babies, and she just gave one glance over the lea quar ter, screamed and dropped on deck; all the shrouds of her heart parted at once. Put when the little ones liegan to pijx?, I was forced to swab the spray from my taiws and sheer off to my duty. Owing to the swat at the wheel the ship broached tx. Cut away the lanniards of the inizzen rigging; snap weiyi the mizzen mast, which pounded a hole in her counter. The old craft gave a lea lurch and down she went, and, thinks I to myself, we're taiunil for Davy Jones' locker. Put there I was, astride of a hen-coop with the chaplain straddling the other end of it, paying out prayers by the fathom. Jack I Iaulyard, captain of the wreck, once taiatswain of the Ter rible, and shiver my timbers, you swat behind the locker there, give us a pot of ale all round. Rules for the ("are of llie Eyes. When writing, reading, drawing, sew ing, etc., always take care that (a.) The room is comfortably cool, and the feet warm ; (A.) There is nothing tight alxmt the neck ; (c.) There is plenty of light without dazzling the eyes ; (d.) The sun does not shine directly on the object we are at work upon ; (f.) The light does not come from in front ; it is lx-st when it comes over the left shoulder ; (.) The head is not very much bent over the work ; (g.) The page is nearly perpendicular to the line of sight; that is, that the eye is neaily opposite the middle of the page, for an object held slanting is not seen so clearly. (h.j That the page, or other object, is not less than fifteen inches from the eye. Near-sightedness is apt to increase ra idly when a person wears, in reading, the glasses intended to enable him to see dis tant objects. In any case, when the eyes have any defect, avoid fine needle-work, drawing of fine maps, and all such work, except for very short tasks, not exceeding half an hour each, and in the morning. Never study or write before breakfast by candle light. Do not lie down when reading. If your eyes are aching from fire light, from looking at the snow, from over work, or other causes, a pair of colored glasses may lie advised, to 1k used for awhile. Light blue or grayish blue is the best shade, but these glasses are likely to lie abused, and usually, are not to be worn except under medical advice. Almost all those persons who continue to wear colored glasses, having perhaps first received advice to wear them from medical men, would lie Wttcr without them. Traveling vendors of spectacles are not to be trusted ; their wares are apt to be recommended as ignorant lv and in discriminately as in the times of the ' Yi cir of Wakefield.' If you have to hold the pages of Har per's Magazine nearer than fifteen inches in order to read it easily, it is probable that you are quite near-sighted. If you have "to hold it two or three feet away Ix-fore you can see easily, you are prol ably far-sighted. In either cases, it is very desirable to consult a physician be fore getting a pair of glasses, for a misfit may permanently injure your eyes. "Never vav trick witli the eyes, as squinting rolling them. The eyes are often troublesome when the stomach is out of order.

Markham has written an es say "On the Origin and Migration of the Greenland Eskimo," which forms one of the most interesting and instructive pa pers in the volume on Artie geology and enthnology recently presenter! to tne lint ish Artie Expedition by the Royal Geo graphical Society. Mr. Markham has evidently given the subject careful study, and his hypotheses seem to be on the whole sound. For three centuries after the Norse liegan to settle in Greenland in the end of the tenth century, Mr. Mark ham lndieves that no indigenous race was seen in the land; that all at once about the middle of the fourteenth century, a' horde of Skrrllings appeared in the ex treme northern frontier settlements of Greenland, nnd seem rapidly to have stamped out the Norse colonies. WTiether this was so or not, there seems great proba bility in the theory of the migration of the Greenland Esquimaux advanced by Mr. Markham. During the centuries pre ceding the first reported appearance of the Jirsquimattx in Greenland, the com motions in Central Asia, under Tugrul, Peg, Jenghiz, Khan, and other leaders, were the means of sending forth swarms of Turks and Mongols in all directions. The pressure caused by these invading waves on the trilies of Northern Siberia drove them still further to the north. Horde succeeding horde increased the pressure, until at bust the Omoki, the Che laki, the Onkilon, and other atairiginal trills were driven quite out of the country, and have long asro disappeared entirely, leaving only traditions of their existence and remains here and there of their ymirts or dwellings. Mr. Markham, says that here we have probably the commencement of the cxodlts ot the Greenland Esquimaux, which spread over a period of one or two centimes. He believes they must have made their way from Cape Chelagskoi to the, Tarry group, probably over a chain of islands. Still keeping northward, bv Banks Islands, Melville Island, Bathurst Island, North Sunerset and Devon, Jones' Sound, Carey Islands, on all of which un doubted traces of Esquimaux have been found, but where the conditions are not favorable to permanent settlement, the Asiatic emigrants made their way to Smith Sound, which they crossed in par ties during the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Some established their h tint ing-groundsliet ween Ilumtaildt and Melville Bay glaciers, and became the ancestors of that very curious and inter esting race of men, the Artie Highlanders. Here the' vegetation, the constant open water, and other conditions rendered a permanent sett lenient possible. Mr.Mark ham lielieves that some of these imigrants proceeded southward and peopled South Greenland, not only so, but that parties also wandered still further north than the Ilumtaildt glacier, and that it is not im probable that the new British expedition may find groujx-s of Esquimaux up to the very pole itself. Nous verrons. Mean time Mr. Markham's theory seems a plaus ible one, and to answer all the require ments of an immigration into Greenland of a people such as the Esquimaux. Dr. Kink, however, in a paper on the "De scent of the Esquimaux," is inclined to believe them the last wave of an aborig inal American population driven from the interior by the pressure of tribes behind them. This may have lieen so, and the people in the northeast of Siberia, so strongly resembling the Esquimaux in language, physique, and customs, may have been American emigrants; but the reverse hypothesis appears much more probable. A JOCKEY'S TRICK. How H LitHe Iloron Happened to Beat a HilC liio. A well-known driver relates to us the following not piorly plaid trick: " I had won two heats in the trot, and my only real opponent in the race had won two as well. We were now going for the decided heat. What to do to win that heat was bothering my brain greatly, though what not to do was more plain and evident. My mare was tired a.s a dog, and as she was not the best cou raged trotter in the world, I could only rely on her gamencss to pull her through. My opponent's horse, a great big fellow, was nearly as tired, yet he seemed a trifle fresher than my little mare. At all events, I must keep her as close upon him at all times as I could, for let her in her tired condition once fall ta-hind, and she would give it up at once and not struggle on at all. " Neither of us cared to score many times, so we so got on the word, he hav ing the pole and I right at his head. In this position we went around the turn head and head at a rapid clip. As we struck the back-stretch I felt that he was out trotting me. Half way down the stretch my mare broke, tired, dead, with no sH-ed and no desire to go further. I tried to catch her, but as I fished her with the bit she wouldn't respond. What to do I was at a loss to determine, so let her jump along. She runs close to the ground and without any effort. This seemed to freshen her, and she took hold of the bit anew. The driver of the big fellow lx-gan to lie annoyed at my run ning, and he let fly a few sharp ejacula tions. All at once it struck me that my opponent's horse was so big that he hid me pretty well from the judges' sight. As simiii as this thought took possession of me, I looked it over and saw that he shallowed me completely. It was a hap py thought. I let the mare jump along with more confidence, and my opxinent's horse let out another link. "' This ain't a running race," he cried out angrily. "' Keep" him at it,' I replied. You'll catch it from the judges and be distanced for running and so not even get any part of the race,' he dictated, as we sjkmI along down the stretch. " At the turn he took his horse in hand ; but as he felt the bit he shut up, ami as his driver called on him again he floundered, broke, and was all abroad. " Expecting this, I had my mare in hand, and as he floundered I caught her, and when he "broke she showed her head in front, trotting for dear life, and went on clear of him. As she now hail a rest, and with this clear lead was greatly en couraged to go on, she did right merrily, and 1 won the lTeat. " Of course I expected a stormy time in the judges' stand, and was prepared to combat, argue, and defend r.iy action in taking a few little jumps. "But, lo! the judges said they didn't sec me run at all, and that r.iy opponent was mistaken ! This made him rave like a mad-man, and the judges soon ordered him out of the stand. Poor fellow, he never forgave me the tricR. l.ut all is fair in war. 'Twas well played, wasn't it?" Childish Appreciation. Macready was playing an engagement in New Orleans, and at the same hotel w here he stopped was Ixiarding a family in which was a bright-faced, winsome lxiy, of four years of age, named Thad deiis, who very sixm lx-came a favorite with the tragedian. One day, while sit ting upon Macready's knee, Thaddy ex pressed a strong aesire w go ana see mm act. He had never been to the theatre, and he wanted to see what it was like ; and especially did he Want to See " Mr. Ceady " perform some of those Wonder ful things of which he had heard such rapturous Recounts. " Do you think you would Understand the play ? " asked Macready. Oh ! yes Thaddy was sure he would understand. Mr. Macready promised hm he ehould go, and, on the following day, he secured a box fof the family. The evehing came, and Thaddy went to the theatre. The play Was " King Lear." The great tragedian was at his best. Macraedy's forte -his strong point as those will acknowledge who remember Mm lay in his silent acting, in his pungent, pithy, telling gesticula tions and facial changes; and in the storm scene of Leaf, w here the poor, mad king is exposed to the tury ot th tern pest, he does this sort of dumb acting to wild perfection, as he certainly did on the occasion to vhich tte refer ; and not one in the vartt atidicftce eemed more interested in the scene than oUr little Thaddy. His mother had feared that the roar of the mimic thunder, and the flash ing of the vivid lightning athwart the darkened stage might frighten him ; but it did not. Oh the following day, Ma cready took Thaddy upon his knee and asked him how he liked the play. " O it was 'eal nice, Mr. C'eady, answered the boy w ith enthusiasm. " And you think you understood it? . "O yes. tne wnote ot it." 1 he. tragedian cast a gratified look around. It was something so to act that even a child could under stand. " What did you think, Thaddy, when you saw me in that storm, with the thunder and the lightning roaring and flashing and the rain pelting upon me ? " " O it was too bad, Mr. Cady ; but I knew you didn't care." " You saw me moving my arms about wildly in the dark. Did you know why I did that?" " 0 certainly I did ; and how I wished I was down there to help you." The great man was visibly attected by this childish sympathy. " And what, Thaddy did you think I was doing ? Why did you want to help me?'" O I knew what you was doing. I've done it," cried the lxiy, with a bust of enthusiasm. " And what was it?" " Why, I could see ust as easy a.s could lie, Mr. C'eady. You was catching lightning-bugs ! " A Difference. Several years ago there was a devoted Baptist named Wilson livingin Louisiana, and he was an ardent democrat. It was hard to tell which had the warmest place in his affections his wife, the church, or his xditical party. On one occasion he had several friends spending the evening at his house, and liefore they retired he took down the family Bible to read a portion of scripture and have a word of prayer. It so happened that he opened the sacred volume at the epistle to Titus, where the ajxistle says: "Put them in mind to be subject to principal ities and jxiwers, to otay magistrates; to be ready to de every work." As it was a habit with him to comment upon the text as he went along, when he came to this passage he bxik off his spectacles, and with a gravity suited to the time and place he remarked: "There, my friends, is where I differ from Brother Paul. Mr. Jefferson tells us that the true doctrine is just the reverse of this; that is, men in office should always lie obedient to the people, and I agree with the great author of the declaration of index-ndence. The apostle was no doubt a great preacher and a good christian, but it is clear enough he was no dem ocrat." Cisterns And Soft Water. The ordinary use of a cistern is to sup ply soft water for washing purposes. In many localities in the country, especially where it is difficult to dig wells, and haiM to obtain materials to wall them up, cis terns are often used for storing water for drinking. Pain water stored in cisterns is not very desirable for drinking. Apart from the consideration that it is liable to lx; very warm in summer, when it most required, it almost always contains vege table and animal impurities taken up while falling through the air. These im purities are often so large in amount that they produce fermentation after the water has stood some days during warm weather. After rain water has undergone this process of purification it is good to drink; but it is not easy to obtain purified water from a cistern where water enters every time it rains, and from which it is lieing taken out every few hours for domestic pur poses. It is practical to make filters and to attach them to cisterns so that the water may pass through them and be purified for drinking purposes. There is, how ever, considerable trouble and expense attending this course, and the filters, how ever constructed, are in need of constant overhauling, as they become filled up fey the impurities that lodge in them. There is such a thing as having water too pure for drinking purposes. It is a well-known fact that distilled water is not wholesome to drink. It is not unhealthy liecausc it does not contain any vegetable or mineral substances, but for the reason that it contains no mineral substances, and, unless it has stood some time, no air or carbonic acid. The presence of these gases appears to he necessary to digestion and health. The presence of some min eral matter, especially lime in drinking water, is of the first importance. The best water for drinking purposes always contains lime or other mineral matter. The presence of magnesia in water causes it to be "hard." By "hard" water is meant one that will decompose common soap, and will form soap that is insoluble. Lime will form a hard white soap that will separate in the form of flakes. The hardest waters that is, those that will decomjxise soap the most readily are found in springs and deep wells, esxx-ially in lime-stone regions. Most of the streams and lakes in the west contain water that is only slightly "hard." The water pro vided fortlic use of this city is somewhat "hard," though it is generally used for washing purposes. All water which de scends from the clouds is soft, but it is liable to become "hard" as soon as it comes in contact w ith the soil, or with rocks. ater which contains no carbonic acid does not dissolve limestone readily, but all water will take up this gas, when it will become "hard." It is desirable to store water in some reservoir that con tains no lime if we wish to keep it soft. Practically we can onlv keep it soft in vessels made, of wood, jrla-ss or metal. As to metal vessels, they are too expensive, while iron will be dissolved in water and will stain srarments. Most lioiifewivcs are aware of the fact that rainwater which has stood for some time in a cement cistern has ltecomc "hard." At first it washes lx?autifully, removing the dirt from clothes or the skin with the use of a very small amout of soap. After a while more soap is re quired. At the end of some weeks it is alxmt as difficult to wash with it as with that taken from a spring or well. First it was entirely soft, then moderately "hard," and finally it became very "hard."- To express it in other words, it contained at first no lime, then a little lime, and finally a gixxl deal of lime. The reason "for this change may lie given as follows: ..The cement of which the walls of the cistern are made is largely composed of lime. When first applied it is in the form of quicklime, but it is soon changes to carbonate of lime,. Pure water will easily dissolve the Lust named substance. Water falling tbrouirh the air takes up cartamic acid. Cistern ordinarily contain leaves and other vegetable "matter. These . decay and give" off carbonic acid, which mixes with the water. The water charged with cartamic acid will readily dissolve the cartamate of lime, when it will be come "hard." It is now no better than well or spring water to wash with. The above shows why a cistern should lx; made of wood or of some substance that does not contain lime. The diffi culty with a wixxl cistern consist in the liability to rot out. This may be pre vented in a creat measure by setting the cistern in cement, that is, by havingalayer of cement mortar below around the wood work. If a cistern is made of cypress wood it will last during an ordinary life time. This wood grows abundantly in all the southern states, and in the lower jHirtions of Indiana and Illinois. It con tains a good deal of resin, which prevents its lotting, lis value for making cisterns has never been appreciated. The Military Strength of European JNations. M. Amedee la Fatlro publishes in the France an analysis of the military ftrchgth of the various European Nations in 1875. (.Tefniany hx an army comprising 4GU battalions of infantry, 405 squadrons of cavalry, 300 camnaism batteries. 29 bat talions of foot artillery, 18 battalions of piouewrs, ana is Dattanons oi service corps. When are added the reserves, the landstrum, the landwehr, and the navy, a total of 1,700,000 men is arrived at, with annual estimates of 20,000,000. The English army atid navy, including militia and volunteers, comprises 535,000 men, and cost 24,800,000; Austria has 535,000 men, costinsr 10.800.000: Bel gium 43,000, with an expenditure of ai,od,.4uv; Denmark 54,000 men, cost ing 3t)G,000; Spain according to the regulationsof 1870, possesses 270.000 men. with a yearly budtret of 6-.400.000. The law passed by the Cortes in 1872 has as yet been imperfectly applied. France has 132 reffiments of infantry 30 battal ions of chasseurs, 77 cavalry regiments, 40 regiments of artillery, 4 of engineers, and 20 squadrons of service corps. With the reserve and navy the total effective strength ot the country is 1 , 1 00,000 men, costing 26,000,000; Greece 51,000 men, and estimate 300,000; Italy 7(50,000 men, expenditure 9,840,000; Holland 100,000 men, estimate 1,120,000; Por tugal 73,000 meh, costing 180,000; Rus sia has an army in time of peace of 183 regiments of "infantry, 82 battalions of riflemen, 48 battalions or lrontier service, 5(5 regiments of cavalry, 310 batteries of artillery, 14 battalions of engineers, be sides irregulars and reserves. ith the fleet, the effective strength of the country is i,oo0,U00, with a budget ot 27,200,000; Sweden 160,000 men. costing 1.120,000. The effective strength of Switzerland is approximately 180,000 men, costing only 00,000. Turkey 300,000 men, with estimates of 5,6SO,000. On a war foot ing, therefore, the armies of Europe are 9,332,000 men, costing annually 136,- 804,000 The Spirit of United (Jermany.. Col. Forney says in one. of his recent letters to the Philadelphia Press: A strong, proud government like that of Germany, with a vast army ready to move in a day; with steel-nerved states men, and a policy as watchful as its em blematic eagle, with ripe schools dropping their selected fruit into every household; with a stern religion of its own, cannot be otherwise than absolute. There is, therefore, no free press in Germany, no public meetings, no outspoken politics, and hence not a fibre of republicanism. There was a spirit of freedom once, but now "united Germany" is the talisman that controls all sects, suppresses all op positions, and stifles all expression of opin ion, save that which supports the govern ment in its austere mission. I met a very learned man, yesterday, who admitted all these things, and yet claimed that he was a republican. "But observe," he said, as I courteously denied his consistency, "I am not a republican in the sense that asks only for rights and rejects duties. In America, with all vottr liliertv and licence, theextremest radical accepts lxith; out here we have classes who insist upon rights, but refuse the resulting obliga tions. I am not of these, and I say they should be suppressed." Count Von Bis marck has his own view of the situation, and goes a bow-shot lieyond my friend. What is a Spoonful? The lack of accuracy in the very common prescrip tion of a "sxxmful" of medicine for a patient received a striking rebuke in Exeter, England, the other day. A fe male child, nineteen years old, died under conditions that suggested poison. There was an inquest, and the cause of death was returned in the coroner's certificate in the following manner: " Congestion of the lungs, accelerated by an overdose of opium, innocently administered by her mother from a modern teaspoon contain ing two drachms, instead of from a tea spoon of older date, containing one drachm." It is well known that the tea spoon and tablespoon of the present day are of very indefinite capacity, and may, moreover, lie said to average nearly double the size of those in vogue little more than a quarter of a century ago. If, therefore, the terms "teaspoon" and " tablespoon " were even qualified by the words "old" or "new style" some guide would be given as to the quantities in tended, this, however, is seldom done. Negro Emigration to Louisiana and Texas. The emigration of the colored people from the more northern of the southern states has been frequently noticed and made the subject of com ment. Ihe sensus oi .Louisiana, one of the States to which the colored people emigrated in large numbers, gives some idea of the extent of the movement. In 1870 the census showd that there were 362,065 white and 364,210 colored jieople in the state. This year the return is 404,301 whites and 450,029 colored. Out of a total increase of 127,475, in five years, the negros made up 8o,819 of the main. It is said that South Carolina has lost none of her colored population since the war ; that Virginia, North Car olina, lennessee, Georgia and Missouri have lost whole colonies, and that Mis sissippi, Louisina and lexas have gained what the others have tost. A queer civil funeral, that of Cloris Pontonncl, the little son a wine mer chant, took place in Paris the other day, Two jiersons carried the coffin, and about twenty friends followed. At the grave the boy's father delivered the following address: "Adieu, my son, adieu, citizen, for you were a citizen of the future not baptized! Now, thou hast returned to nothingness, for there is no soul. Be come manure; there is need of it for good wine." An art critic, rather addicted to rum, on visiting the British museum in the ordinary line of his duties, looked in a mirror in the first room he entered, whereupon, taking out his note-book, he commenced reporting as follows: " First room Head of a drunkard, not signed ; great deal of character; a red nose of stunning reality ; brutal face; seen that type somewhere, must be a jxirtrait from nature." The Scotchmen, in order to escape de feat, left the country the day before the American team arrived. It is the first time a Scotchman has ever failed to come to the "scratch."
