A large heavy face, with thick boll neck, which his shirt collar seems compressing to suffocation; huge busby mustaches which spread across both tide* of the face almost to the ears, and which are dry and lustreless fTom hair-dye; pale, grayish-blue watery eyes; a thick little pug nose turned up at the tip, and tinted hair cropped close to the skull like a prize-fighter’s, constitute the prom inent features that strike your attention at the first glance- As you examine him more closely you find he Is thickly built, that his hands are purplish-red in color, and fat and podgy like those of. an overgrown baby. His faoe is thoroughly animal, and almost wholly devoid of intellectual character. Sir William Grant, the very learned Master of the Bolls,was a native of the county of Banff and for a considerable time represented that county in Parliament. Though a most forcible and easy speaker, scarcely inferior! to any of his time, at the bar or in Parliam-nt, he was a remarkably silent man. He was the most pa tient of judges. The story is well koowo of his hearing an elaborate and lengtheeed argument for two days on the meaning of an act of Parliament, and when the Counsel fin ished, simply saying, “Gentlemen, tne act I* repeaieu. uu oue or ins visits to Joann no rode out a few miles into the country, accom panied by a few friends. The only observa tion that escaped from him was in passings field of peas—"Very fine peas.” Next day he rode out with the same cortege, and was equal ly silent; but on passing the same spot he mut tered “and very finely podded too.” Dumas says that his father was ideal, but that he himself is real, and he adds: “My father tegan to write inspired by an idea; I be gan to write inspired by a fact. When X sit down to compose a new play, I take ninety seven sheets of paper. Then I divide them into five lots; the first, second, third, fourth lots contain twenty sheets of paper e.cb; the fifth lot contains only seventeen sheets. Tbe first, second, third, and fourth lots are for my first, second, third, and fourth acts. I write fast, stopping occasionally to see to count the sheets still remaining for the act. If I find them greatly diminished while I have still a great deal unsaid, I say to myself: ‘Double quick-s'.ep, now, friend.’ The seventeen sheets are for my fifth act. Experience has taught me two things: First, that .the public cannot bear more than twenty pages in any one act; secondly, that the last act should always be the shortest act ot tbe play, and should never, nDder any circumstances, fill more than seventeen sheets of paper.” Phillips Brooks has for years, says a corres pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, been com sidered as one of New England’s greatest preachers. But it is difficult to say just in what respect his power manifests itself. Some say in his style of composition, still others in his appearance. It has been said that sermons which are read are generally ineffective; but this will not bold in the case of Mr. Brooks He reads every word, but in a masterly man ner. At what a breakneck pace he goes! The manuscript glows and burns under the intense fire of earnestness with which tbe speaker reads. You are electrified. You cannot pea him up by any rules of elocution; his delivery would be condemned by SDy such rules, yet he carries you aloDg with him, and be leads oftsn by green pastures aod still waters; and fre quently he approaches tbe highest order of elo quence, filled, as he is, with tbe'great responsi bility of his calling. His style of writing is simple and beautiful. Most of bis illustra tions and metaphors are taken from the Bible. They are strikingly tasteful aod appropriate always. Besides all this, Mr. Brooks is a man of the people, a great worker among the poor D,„r_ The Pope is said to be witty, like most of his clever fellow-countrymen. Many of his witticisms are historical, as when, on being asked by a devont lady, who waa tearfully lamettling the misfortunes of the Church, if he did not fear the “Bark of Peter,” he replied that he was under no apprehension on account of the Barb, but he felt some doubts as to what might be the fate of the crew. When Cardinal Antonelli told him on one occasion that be had been recommended to try the Bagni baths for his gout, the Pope, jestmgly alluding to the well-known false port of Antonelli’s brigand origin, said he said he thought his eminence would do well to act upon the advice, for be had heard it said the bagpi (whieh in Italian also signifies “the a hulks”) had more than once been found effica cious for members of his family. Woe betide those whose hot Protestant prejudices accom pany them into the Pontifical presence cham ber! “1 perceive we have some new additions hero to the Vatican gallery ol statues,” was the remark made by Pins IX. as, on one occa sion,he passed by some ladies whose consciences forbade them to kneel where their cariosity ought never to have taken them; and pnngent indeed is the Pope’s wit whenever he feels called upon to nse it in reproof. Admiral Porter, whose daughter is soon to be married, sent last week through the post-offloe 200 invitations to the wedding. The envelopes each required double postage, but only one stamp was affixed. The postmaster held the invitations and sent word to the admiral about the matter, thinking he would like to prepay them. The admiral replied that they should be sent along with one stamp, and the result il that 200 people will have the privilege of pay ing three cents apiece for their iovitations to the next swell wedding that oocurs in Wash* ingten. The admiral saved 80.

News and OtUer Items. A deaf aud dumb boy has beeu found ou Long Island, who was lost by his parents in Massachusetts sixteen years ago. Secretary Northrop, of the Connecticut Board of Education, pleads strongly in his an nual report for the adoption of the metric sys tem for standards of weights and measures. A Minneapolis law student spoke ill of two “young ladies” of the place. They told a friend, and all went to the lawyer’s office. The two fellows had a free fight and the girls, standing in chairs, enjoyed the scene immense ly. The Heading railroad, although not suffer ing inconvenience directly from its discharged engineers, is meeting with numerous accidents by which freight trains are wrecked, and the passenger trains are delayed also. Mrs. General Sherman, who has been man aging in this country contributions for the pope to be presented in May next, on the fiftieth an niversary of his elevation to the epsicopate, has §230,000 in hand. Ex-President Grant will lease bath of his cot tages at Long Branch this season. The one on the right of the Ocean will be occupied by the Seligmans, the Government bankers. The one he occupied for the past six seasons has been taken by Harry McAuliff.of Brooklyn Heights. Thirteen years ago a negro burglar shot a man in a house at Atlanta, Ga., and, disap pearing, effectually evaded pursuit. Nothing was heard of his whereabouts until a few days ago, when he wrote from Kentucky to inquire if the man died of bis wound, aud the letter led to his arrest. The time approaches for the opening of the Permanent Exhibition on the 10th of May next, and the exhibitors are beginning to show a little more energy in getting their cases in order. There are now actually in the building at least two-thirds of the entire amount to he exhibited, or about G,000 tons, including the cases. The anthracite coal dealers of Pennsylvania will probably unite in an extensive display at the Paris Exhibition next year. Their plans embrace a collective exhibit of samples of coal, topographical and geological maps of the coal regions, grates, stoves, furnaces, and other de vices to show most fully the uses of that kind nf fnp] Speaking of the support derived from relig ious belief, there is a Chinaman in California under sentence of death for murder, who is a very intelligent man. He looks forward to hi8 doom with perfect calmness and resignation, soothed and sustained by unfaltering trust. He expresses his willingness to submit to the re quirements of the law, and has no dread of death. There was a lively episode of municipal poli tics in the city councils of New Bedford, Mass., last Tuesday night. The mayor nominated a man for superintendent of streets thirty-six times, and he was rejected each time by the council. The thirty-seventh time, however, the mayor won, and the man was confirmed, thongh the result was charged to fraudulent voting. A terrible murder, committed February 8th at Moravian missionary station in the settle ment of Lance, on the Labrador coast, has just come to light. Bev. W. Balfe, who had spent thirty years in Labrador; Ernand Balfe, his son, and Charlotte and Anne, his daughters, were killed and frightfully mangled in their own house, and a large amount of money was stolen. The murderers are believed to have been four Esquimaux, who had been refused rum at the mission. Edward S. Stokes, just out of State Prison, reappears before the New York public in a cu rious light. A physician in that city named Thomas, is suing for a divorce, and his wife, though she doesn’t seem to care whether he gains his case or not, doesn’t want to be both ered with the matter. To lawyers who have been serving papers on her she says she will not do anything until she consults "her friend Ed,” as she calls him, and told one of them the other day, that he would shoot anybody who interferes with or annoys her. A lively contest is raging in Sacramento, Cal., between the merchants of that city and the San Francisco drummers. The latter have persistently undersold the local houses, and the City Council has recently passed an ordinance heavily taxing the sales of the agents of San Francisco houses. The latter, however, are at present ahead of the city fathers, for, by mere ly crossing the narrow Sacramento river in Yo lo county they still sell largely to the Sacra mentans, who cross the boundry to trade with them. WASHINGTON. Thellndinn Campaign. Washington, April 24.—Gen. Miles is to be reinforced in season to make a campaign against the remaining hostile Sioux as.soon as the spring grass will furnish forage for his horses and males. He will in all probability capture Sitting Bull unless that warrior crosses the line into British territory. Enforcing the Revenue Lam. The owners of small illicit stills in upper Georgia and the Carolinas are defying the in ternal revenue officers and are indirectly sus tained by the local courts. The federal troops are no longer employed in the enforcement of the revenue laws, but a large civil force is to be organized at once. Cabinet Meeting. At the cabinet meeting today, which was of short duration, no reference was made to the proposed extra session of Coegiess. It is not probable that tbs day originally designated (namely, the 4th of June) will be changed. It is supposed the proclamation will be issued be* fore tne end of the week. Redemption of Fractional Currency. A circular issued by Treasurer Wyman re quests all the depositories to redeem in currency or by certificates of deposit payable in subsidi ary silver coin in multiples of 81000, all frac tional currency that may be presented. Frac tional currency so redeemed will be forwarded as a transfer of funds to the treasury in sums of $500 or multiples thereof, at the expense of the department. Various. Col. Thos. B. Keogh, chairman of the North Carolina Republican State Committee is out in a letter announcing his support of President Hayes’ Southern policy. The report of the Louisiana Commission was submitted to the President this afternoon and will be made public to-morrow. The President and Mrs. Hayes entertained at dinner this evening the members of the cabi net and ladies and members of the Louisiana Commission. Judge Taft and the President. New York, April 24.—The World’s Wash ington despatch says Judge Taft denies that he has written a letter denouncing President Hayes, which may be true, but he has certain ly written here opposing his course towards the South. The Way ibey Kettle Dispute* in the Black Hills. Deadwood, D. T., April 24.—This afternoon a dispute arose in which seven persons were engaged, concerning the title of a town lot in South Deadwood. After some harsh language all hands drew shooters and commenced firing. Daniel O. Brodovich of Eureka, Nevada, was killed, Stephen Conrioh of the same place mor tally shot, and A. Millich slightly wounded. Another disturbance was caused today by town lot jumping, during which several shots were fired but nobody hnrt. lUBTEOROIjOGiCAL.

Fawcett and Forester concurred with the gov ernment speakers in expressing the most un qualified apposition to home rule in Ireland. GERMANY, Berlin, April 24.—In to-day’s sitting of parliament the increase grant for 10.7 captain cies gave rise to a protracted debate. Gen. Von Moltke insisted on the necessity of the grant, Ile.said the time was not far distant when every government would he compalled to strain all its strength tor securing its existence. The reason for this was the regretaDle distrusts of governments towards each other. France had made great strides in her defences and uncommonly large masses of troops were at present between Paris and German frontier. Everything France did for her army received the undivided approval of her people. She was decidedly in advance of Germany. The increased grant for captaincies was then adopted. MEXICO. Rinz Thinks He is Menaced by (he United Slates. Matamoras, April 24 —Considerable excite ment prevails on the frontier on account of what appears a well founded rumor that God. Ord, the military commander of Texas has directed the concentration of a considerable force of United States troops at Loredo Texas on the Rio Grande, immediately opposite Nuevo Lardeo, Mexico. This movement at a time when the frontier is remarkably quiet aDd taken iu connection with the fact that Col. Sbafter recently crossed a force of United States troops into Mexico, near Piedrss. Negroes with General Ord’s knowledge and the presence of General Escobedo, who is chief military partizan of ex-President Lerdo at San Antonio, Texas, which is the headquarters of Gen. Ord is regarded as a menace on the part of the United States military authorities on the Rio Grande as against the government of President Diaz, which if presisted in, is likely to lead tto serious complications if not open hostilities between the United States and Mexico. Several arrests have been made with in the last few days of Mexican army officers on this frontier, who are known to sympatbize with the movement in favor of tbe restoration of Lerdo, and important documents implicating others were found in their possession.

Tuesday.—Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company in equity, vs. Josiah Crosby and al. In 18C5 William II. Ingalls tcok out a policy of insur ance from tbe plaintiff on hi? life. In 1869 he went through bankruptcy and the policy was gold by bis assignee to the defendant Crosby, who thereafter paid the premiums. In 1876 Ingalls died, and his widow, who is the administratrix, claimed that Crosby held the policy iu trust for the family of In galls, and claimed the amount of It of the company. Crosby also claimed it and brought a suit to recover the amount. The company had the money into court, and brought the suit in equity against both the claimants of the fund, to compel them to settle their claims by interpleading with each other. The motion for a decree of interpleader was argued to day. Decision reserved. Drummond Winship argued for plaintiffs* Crosby pro sc. E. F. Webb lor the administratrix, being willing that the motion be granted, did not argue. Owing to the limited equity jurisdiction until re cently, of our State couits, they could not entertain a bill of this kind, and this is said to be the first case of the kind in the State.

Lite Sanday afternoon the family of Mr. Lucius A. Webb of Cape Elizabeth discovered the body of a child in the privy vault. Inquires were made as to how it came there without auy result although suspicion rested upon a nurse who had formerly been employed in the famiiy. The next day Mr. Webb came to this city, and notified Coroner Adams of the affair The coroner was not able to attend to the matter just then, but yesterday morning accompanied by I)r. T, A. Foster, they drove to the place and removed the body to this city. It was fully preserved although it had been there since the 18th of March.I>rs. Foster aud Gerrish made a post mortem examination, and found that the child was a healthy male child at its birth. Coroner Adams then summoned a j ity and laid the facts of the case as far as discovered before them. The jury met in the County Attorney’s office, and after a full hearing in which a large number of witnesses were examined returned a verdict that the body was that of an illegitimate child of Mary M. McDonald, and that it was Dorn healthy aud matured, but came to its death by the hands ol its mother. Mr. Adams suspected what the verdict would be and made diligent search for tho woman. He found her brother aud representing himself as in search of a nurse, obtained the where abouts of the woman. Following the informa tion obtained he visited a house ou Smith street, where she was discovered. The facts of the inquest were related to her and she at once confessed that the body found was that of a bastard child, to which she gave birth on tho tom ol March at the house ot Mr. W ebb, me girl is from St. John, New Brunswick She says she was engaged to marry tbe father of the child in that city, but his parents objected on tbe ground that he was too poor. To hide her shame from her friends she came here and has been employed as a nurse in several famil ies in this city and in Cape Elizabeth She was arrested and taken to jail. She will be taken before the Municipal Court this morn ing and bound over to await the action of tbe Grand Jnry. ANOTHER BOOT FOUND Yesterday afternoon children at play in the rear of the old shovel factory at the foot of Chestnut street, discovered the body of a child in the rubbish. They notified some one who sent word to Marshal Bridges, who visited the place and removed the body. It was very much decomposed and must have been there some time. Coroner Gould will decide what dispo sition to make of it to-day. Tite Schooner Abbie Uapt. Adams of tbe schooner Abbie of this port, which has been re ported lost and abandoned, makes the follow ing statement: Left Matanzrs on tbe 5tli inst. with a cargo of 300 hhds., 43 bbls. aud 3 tierces of molasses, bound for Hampton Hoads for orders; had pleasant weather five days, but on the 10th inst. encountered a heavy gale from southeast veeriDg to northeas', which carried away jib, figurehead aud water cisks; on the 11th at midnight, the weather moderated, and on tbe 12th it fell calm and so remained until about 3 p. m., when a light breeze sprung up which began to blow a hurricane. Took on light sails and doublo reefed fore and main sails, and afterwards took in foresail and jib, and lay-to under foresail. At 5 p. m. of the same day wore the ship in fourteen fathoms of water and in estimated latitude 35 longitude 75 42 west, when the wiod shifted to tbe north west, carrying away foresail. At 11 p. m. shipped a heavy tea which stove forward house and killed a seaman named James \Val t3D. who was sick in tbe forecastle. The ves sel was leaking badly and the pumps kept constantly working. After 11 p. m. on the|13tb inst. the schooner was continually shipping heavy seas which half filled the after cabin and carried away yawlboat and stove forwaid com panion and windows. Oa the 14th sighted a steamer and hoisted signal of distress, but she took no notice and held to her course. That night at 12 o’clock, the masts went out of her, the mainboom smashing in the skylight and the foremast head striking the large boat, stav ing holes io the bottom ar.d also iu the main decks. At daylight again hoisted signal on the boat’s masts, all else being carried away, and at noon on the 11th sighted a sail steering directly for them, wh'ch proved to he the schooner Delhi of Saco, Captain Samuel Emerson. Then launched the boat with much difficulty and danger succeeded in reaching the Delhi, when they were taken on board aud treated with every kindness by Captain Emerson. The Abbie was left in a sinking condition in lati tude 33 20 north and longitude 70 00 west with the sea running high and the wind blowing a gale. Captain Adams will pay off his crew at Wilmington, and will then leave for bis borne at Yarmouth. A Questionable Transaction.—Last even ing a man known in the city as S. Dana Rob erts entered the clothing store of J. Burleigh Co., on Middle street aud commenced nego tiations for clothing. Upon being asked to show the color of his money he produced what he claimed was an order from Capt. G. M. Grant of the ship William McGilvery. The eder stated that the bearer was steward of the ship and any articles lie procured would be paid for by the captain. Tho order was pro nounced bogus and the signature a forgery. Mr. Shurtleff, one of the clerks, detained the fellow with some little difficulty until Officers Covell, Pride and Warren arrived, when he was taken to the police station. Tho police say that he is a state prison graduate. Personal. Gov. Morrill’s health continues to improve and he will leave on Thursday for his home at Augusta. Major A. Ewell, formerly clerk at the United States Hotel, left towu yesterday for Denver, Colorado, where he id to go into the hotel business. Mayor John D. Myrick of Augusta, has been engaged to deliver the oratiou at Gardiner Decoration day. Gen. J. P. Cilley, Adjutant General, will deliver the oration in Augusta. Excursion to Lewiston Fast Dav.— Mercantile Library excursion with Cole’s band starts from the Maine Central depot to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock, return at 4J p. in.

Promenade Concert.—The Odd Fellows are arraoging for a fine lime at their band and promenade conceit at City Hall Thursday eve ning. Tho affair is the hands of a very effi cient committee and there is no donbt of its success. Base Ball.—The Forest City Club have or ganized for the year by the choice of the fol lowing officers: President, F. Lewisr Secre tary and Treasurer, W. H. Perry; Captain, C_ H. Boss; Manager, Geo. H. Green. Maiue Industrial (School for Cirls. Mr. Editor—This institution was opened for pupils Jan. 1, 187o. The number of inmates, at first small, soon increased to the full capaci ty of the building. Daring the past year there have been constant applications in behalf of girls, in excess of the accommodations of the school. The building was designed for thirty. Frequently more than this number have been crowded in. The number of girls received to the present time is 00. Of these four have been returned to friends, three dismissed as in corrigible, one escaped, one decased and twen ty-four placed in families, of whom eight have been indentured. The girls placed in families and especially those indentured, with few ex ceptions, are doing well; and give good prom ise of becoming useful members of society. The girls are instructed in knitting, te sing and all kinds of house-work. They do all the woik of the house under the direction of the lady offi cers. Every afternoon they are under the care of an experienced teacher in the school-room. Devotional services are held every morning and evening, in which they all participate, and ser vices are conducted by the Superintendent every Sunday afternoon. Ample provision is made for recreation. The beneficient effects of the institution are more and more apptrent. The girls all come from unfortunate surroundings, and but for the Industrial School, would, most of them, have fallen into "habits of vice and immorality and became outcasts of society." Another building is greatly reeded to ac commodate those who need the advantages of the school. The subject deserves the attention of the philanthropic. There are hundreds of these uncared-for waifs in ourjstale,(drifting to inevitable ruin, who may be saved. Prevention is far better and cheaper than cure. April 24, 1877. S.

Richard Ellen of Kenlotr, Maria. “For years J was a sufferer from boils, so that my life became wearisome through their frequent and persistent recurrence. A car buncle, which ultimately occupied a space of three or four square inches, forme 1 on the small of my back. During its progress largo pieces of decomposed tle3h were’every day or two cut away; aud the prostration and general disturbance ot the system were great. Before I had recovered from this attack, two smaller carbuncles broke out higher up,aud I was again threatened with a recurrence of the sufferings to which I had so loug been subjected, it was at this time that I commenced taking the Peru vian Syrup. I continued taking it until I had used five bottles; since which time I have had nothing of the kind. I attribute this improved state of my system entirely to the Peruvian Syrup; aud L feel that 1 cannot express my ob ligations to it in term3 too strong. For years was one of the greatest sufferers. Other med icines gave me paitial aud temporary relief; but this remarkable remedy, with a kind of intuitive sense, went directly to the root of the evil, aud did its work with a thoroughness worthy of its established character. anrilogpnd.V-tv1 w The seed of cousumption can be destroyed by the use of Adamsou’s Botanic Balsam, the great remedy for coughs and colds.

THE PRESS. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Chnrbon. The disease which the French call “char hon,’’ on account of the dark color of the blood of the affected animal, is known in this kingdom under various titles, chiefly as blood poisoning, black quarter aud splenic apoplexy. There is no doubt that the affection which has been described by correspondents as ex isting in Cork, and previously in county An trim, is one of the forms of blood disease which are very common in Ireland and in many parts of England. A few years ago, in the course of an inquiry into the origin and nature of these maladies in Ireland and also itf the Isle of Man, we ascertained several important facts which throw some light on causes of the disease, and tend to prove that all the varieties of morbid changes are due to a primary alteration in the constitution of the blood, caused by the retention of certain waste products which are not eliminated from the system in the ordinary course by the excretory organs. The presence of even a minute quantity of decomposing matter in the blood is quickly marked by the growth of microzymes, bac teria, and vibriones, which appear to he car riers of the peculiar animal poison, inasmuch as their introduction into the system of a healthy animal induces a similar condition of blood, and generally causes death. On the Continent charbon frequently extends its area through the medium ofconRigion.but in this kingdom the disease is generally limit ed to the locality where it first appears, al though in some instances where there has been a want of care in the disposal of carcas ses of animals which have died of the disease, the poisonous products have been carried by dogs, and probably in other ways, to neigh boring farms. Without some actual or gross contact with portions of carcasses of diseased animals, or with some of the products of the disease, it does not seem that communication of the malady can occur; and under any cir cumstances the results ot'innoculation are not precisely like those which occur in diseases which are properly recognized as contagious. For example, the matter of small pox produc es small pox, and so with the scarlet fever, measles, and other contagious diseases; but the morbid products of splenic apoplexy, which is one form of charbon, may induce quite another variety of blood disease, in which the spleen may remain unaffected. AU that can be affirmed in reference to the contagious character of charbon is that the contaminated blood and sect etions contain a poison which acts in various ways on the sys tems of healthy animals, generally causing As to the causes of the disease, it can only be said that certain conditions are essential m to its development. Soil has apparently little to do with the matter; some dangerous lands are on the stiffest lias clays, but others' are found on chalks, downs and sands. Defective drainage is one essential condi tion, which is, perhaps, more general than any other. Excessive manuring, whether by the free use of manures as top dressing or the constant use of the ground for grazing purposes, is another condition which usually obtains in localities where blood diseases pre vail at intervals. Water contaminated with organic matter is another cause of somewhat frequent existence, and it may be safely as sumed that atmosphere rendered impure in the same way will exert an equally deleteri ous influence. Conversely, outbreaks of char bon never occur on well-drained lands, where the food, air, and water are free from organic impurities. In the matter of treatment of diseased animals little or nothing can be done; in fact, the at tack is so sudden, and death follows so close ly on the appearance of illness, that no time is allowed tor the action of remedies. The attention of the stock owner is, therefore, generally directed to prevention. It is a consoling fact in the history of dis eases of the anthraxoid, or charbonaceous type, that they commonly cease after a few animals have died, and do not reappear in the same situations for years; the rule, how ever, is subject to many exceptions, and it is, therefore, necessary to adopt all possible pre cautions. Removal of the animals from* the danger ous grounds is the first obvious measure of precaution; among medical agents the hypos ulphite of soda has proved efficacious, and it may be giveu in the drinking water to cattle in doses of2 oz. to 4 oz. daily; and to sheep in 1 oz, doses. Laxative medicines are nec essary when constipation is present. The effectual burial, or otherwise complete de struction of carcasses of diseased animals is absolutely necessary, as ground, water, aud air will be rendered poisionous by admixture with any of the morbid products.—Agricul tural Gazette. Plants da not Poison the Air. Mr. Long, the well known florist of Buffalo, in his Home Florist says: “There is a notion prevalent that the presence of growing plants in the sleeping or living room is detrimental to a healthy atmosphere by their giving oat poisonous carbonic acid gas in tbe night lime. 'Tbe investigations of chemists demonstate that growing plants do exbale an almost im perceptible quantity of carbonic acid gas, which, in very small proportions, is necessary in tbe air we breathe. They also show that the quantity exhaled at night is bat tbe one sixteenth part of what tbe same plants absorb from tbe atmosphere during the day and con vert into nearly its own weight of oxygen, thus changing a poisonous gas that derives its origin from various sources into one of the principal elements of pare air. If carbonic acid gas is emitted from plants in dangerous quantities, it certainly would exist largely in tbe night atmosphere of a close greenhouse heated to a tropical temperature and crowded from floor to rafter with rank vegetation. Yet, in my experience, 1 have never known tbe slightest ill effects to be realized from night work in greenhouses, neither in cases that have frequently occurred of workmen making the warm greenhouses their sleeping quarters of a night and even for an entire winter, which, to my satisfaction, affords practical proof that the notion is a fallacy; and the fact that per haps no healthier class of men can be found than greenhouse operators, who work constant ly in an atmosphere where plants are growing, would prove instead that living plants exert a beneficial influence npon tbe air we breathe.” Those who have heretofore dreaded to keep plants in their houses on account of their sup posed ill effects may rest at ease, and even furnish their sleeping room with flowers. Uftvr to Raise Celery and Cabbage Plants. I find that most of the information that I am able to give to your readers Is suggested by inquiries of correspondents who write to me to help them out of their difficulties. One of these from New Hampshire says that he finds great trouble with his crops of both cab bage and celery on account of difficulty of raising the plants. His hotbed raised cabba ges are often severely hurt by frosts after planting out, and his celery seed, which he cannot in his section sow sooner in the open ground than the first week in May, does not give him strong enough plants to set out in July. These difficulties suggest a remedy which must be different from our usual prac tice in the latitude ol New York, where inor dinary seasons our ground operations are in full blast thfi first. wppIc in Anril. This rp.mp dy is the use of sashes, not as hot-beds, but as cold-beds, or, as they are called, cold frames. These are constructed simply of boards placed parallel with each other, six feet apart, or of the length of the sash used, whatever it may be. These beds should be placed In a spot as warm and sheltered as pos sible. Where the frost is yet in the ground, by placing the sashes on, the spaces under them will soon be thawed out by'the sun, particularly if the sashes can be covered up at night.—Peter Henderson. Elmira Year!. Boil'four medium sized potatoes until ten der; take them trom the water, chop them up fine with a spoon. To a very small cup of hops pour a quart or more of boiling water; let them boil ten minutes; strain out the hops, thicken the water with about two table spoonfuls of flour; first wet in cold water to prevent getting lumpy; let it boil until it thickens, then take from the stove; sift in one tablespoonlul of ginger, two of salt, and two white sugar. When cold enough add one tea cup of yeast, set in a warm place, stirring oc casionally, when light put in bottles. Care must be taken to tie the corks down tightly or the same lamentable accident may befall some worthy sister’s new kitchen as did our own. _ tare ofJMy «Jalla Elly. l.keep my lilies growing all summer, set out on the ground near mv dining-ioom door, in a some shady place, because 1 tbiuk them such line plants to look at. 1 have not repotted mine in live years.but every spring and autumn I dig out some soil and put in new, mostly the black, soft, velvety muck that abounds in our swamps. 1 let from one to six bulbs live in the same pot; I used to tbiuk that only one bulb of my Oalla or Amaryllis must oocupy a pot. brom each bulb 1 have four flowers each season; and treated in this way, my Oalla blossoms ten months in the year, or from Sep tember to J nly inclusive. When I repot my Amaryllis 1 often lose a season’s flowering; one that I disturbed last summer missed its au tumn flowering, and the others, not disturbed, gave four stalks of gorgeous lily-like flowers. Ty Polish Furniture. Use equal parts of boiled linseed oil and ker osene. Apply it with a flannel, and rub dry with another flannel. It will remove all white marks and scratches, and should be kept always ready for use. It gives the room a fresh ap pearance to rub all the lurniture with this prep aration. One feels well rewarded for the labor. If any white spots are so firmly fixed that the polish does not remove them, it can be done by rubbing with turpentine, then holding a hot shovel over them. Dteacrt of Cold Rice and Sisncd or C»mt ed Apple. Cot cold boiled rice in slices, and then lay in a buttered pudding disb alternate layers of rice and grated apples. Cover with the rice, and smooth with a spoon dipped in cold water or milk, anil bake three-quarters of an hour if the apples are raw. To be served with sweet sauce. BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
