There’s beauty waiting to be born,
And harmony that makes no sound;
And bear we ever, unaware,
A glory that Iwith not been crowned.
And so we ream, and so we sigh,
Aud reach for more than we can see;
Aud, witless of onr folded wings,
Walk paradise unconsciously.
And dimly feel the day divine
With vision half redeemed from night,
Till death shall fuse the double life
And God himself shall give us light.

A PEASANTS REVENGE.
A tteiie In the Carpathian Mountains—
A Komance ill Keal Life.
The schoolmaster who was commis
sioned to procure me a night guardian,
sent me tile prince of protectors, a man
who, it appeared, was afflicted with as
little need of sleep as possible. You
will soon know the reason of this rare
virtue. He spread upon the ground,
near the fire, his sheepskin eloak, filled
his pi pe, and lay down. This was the real
Carpathian peasant, with turquois blue
®yes and long auburn locks, wearing
still the national costume, a kind of
sleeveless tunic reaching to the knee, and
a coat ordinarily of plain blue with
arabesques upon the seams, living upon
buckwheat bread and cheese, drinking
water, bashing—n§ver, limited to his
cottage and enclosure, to his right to
fish in the mountain streams, respecting
his lord, his priest, and his vermin.
His hard toil, like that of a beast of
bnrden, ceased only upon Sunday, when
he shaved, went to mass, and got dead
drunk. I talked of liberty to Stepan
—this was the name of mv guardian.
He listened with profound indifference!
But the impassiveness of Stepan to my
.discourse upon liberty was changed to
lively emotion as the evening advanced.
“ Batko ” (little father), he then said,
“it is damp to-night; you ought to go
in ; or “ Batko,Ths stars are sleeping :
do likewise.”
At last every evening it was the same,
with the Unale, “ Allez-dormir.Evi
dently I disturbed him. What did he
do if he did not sleep ? One night I
made a pretense of retiring, and posted
myself behind the curtain which closed
my tent, and watched him through the
opening. I saw him at first going and
coming, picking up dry branches. Im
perceptibly he approached the wood
and disappeared in the shadow. I
waited a few moments; there was no
sound. I took a few steps in the direc
tion which he had taken, and I stopped.
The sound of words reached me.
Stepan was ialking with someone. A
herdsman, doubtless, who was asking
for the hospitality of our camp fire. I
re-entered, went to sleep, and thought
no more about the matter. Two or
three nights later I was in bed, unable
to. sleep,. The night was mild, very
mild, with a njoon whose fantastic
beams defined, lighted, and concealed
ererything in a misty halo. Its silvery
softness was more beautiful than light
in its harmony. I turned, aud turned
again upon my couch; it was impossible
to sleep. I drank some water", I counted
a thousand ; no sleep came ; even the
desire to go to sleep departed, and I
opened my eyes wide. What had in
flamed my blood ? I instantly notioed
that the moon was opposite me, and
that she was regarding me strangely
with her round, sulphurus face, as if
distilling a luminous poison. Oh,
wicked moon! It was the same
which hung above me while I slept
as a child in the cradle. I shut my
eyes, but I felt her enveloping
me in a haae ; I ooirld have annihilated
her. Why should she, the sorceress,
eqme to revive the inexplicable home
sickness, the implacable craving for
excitement, which followed me every
where ? My heart beat heavily; I arose
and went out in order to breathe.
I stopped suddenly. A few steps
from the fire, by the side of Stepan, a
woman was sitting. She was a peasant
—in the dress of a peasant—yet her
features had nothing of the type. The
two handkerchiefs, placed in oontrary
directions, forming the head-dress of
the women of this valley, were united.
In the peculiar light, her head was out
lined with the distinctness of an an
tique cameo. There was an indescriba
ble something in her expression, half
resolute, halt thoughtful, which is
rarely seen among her class. Her
face was pale, large eyes of yel
lowish cast, like the eyes of
cats, her graoeful figure in a scarlet
bodice. Stepan was looking at her and
she was looking at Stepan, and in the
magnificent and enervating glory of the
summer night it was no more than a
rustic! idyl but the eternal, the brilliant
tfee magfeal poem of leve.
The moon when down, and about the
dying fire long shadows hovered. The
woman had disappeared. I called
Stepan, and after having ordered .him
to ackiQfilfle the fire, 1 began to walk
about. Day dawned, laughed, and I
equally ;rejoicfed and complimented
Ste.pan upon his beautiful fiancee. He
sighed and turned away his head with
out replying. These dull mountaineers
speak only when they will. I respected
the silence and the sigh.
ifc * a3 Lonba, the wife of
0 “ ot 6pesk 01 her in
I whs surprised. Morals * r o
l** here L where the bftrrb-rr, q| custom
In the field, in the public house, and at
the church, the men group themselves
on one side and the women upon the
other; the children, even youths and
maidens, submit to this custom. Chance,
or perhaps the inconsistent desire to
investigate to the bottom of things, in
duce me to take the road to the cottage
of Stepan. It was at the declivity on
the north side of the mountain, and
separated from the market town by the
torrent. There was another one beside
it which, until now I had not observed,
with a court, a vegetable garden, and
an orchard. In the court were a heap
of manure, pools in whioh ducks were
sporting, a shed with a handless har
row and other old, worn-out articles.
In the garden a child was amusing him
self in making the dew fall from the
hemlock branches. The orchard on the
slope reached to the wood on the moun
tain. The child entered the cottage,
leaving the door open. Lonba, the
wife of the neighbor, came to shut it.
How had she strayed into this wretched
peasant abode, she with her delicate,
taper hands, her slender form, and es
pecially that indescribable look, half
resolute, half-thoughtful. And I com
prehended that if Stepan loved her it
was for this particular feature, the ele
gance of her extremities, her undbat
ing carriage, that are not seen among
her class. I questioned the school
master. He told me that Lonba was
the natural daughter of a rich lord of
the vicinity and of a popadianAa
(daughter of a priest) whom he had
seduced, and who died in given her
birth. Lonba was brought up in the
seignioral house until thirteen years of
age, at which period her father died
without leaving a will. The heirs
turned her out. For two years she
went from farm to farm, seeking em
ployment ; but she was the daughter of
a szlaeheianka, daughter of a noble in
person, language and habits ; she knew
not how to work. They beat her and
despised her. At fifteen years of age a
peasant from Skole, observing her
beauty, asked her to marry him. She
was dying of hunger, and accepted him.
It was reported in the village that she
did not love her husband.
Now that the ice was broken, Stepan,
who had become very confidential, con
firmed this storjr. His liaon with the
young wife continued a year. “ And
the husband ? ” I asked.
“ Oh ! Batko, husbands !”
What profundity in this exclamation !
Everywhere the same. Oh ! the good
and honest thing—husband !
“ Besides, he is my neighbor and my
friend.” After a moment’s silence he
added :
“ I would give my life if he were
neither my neighbor nor my friend.”
He told me that since he had kept
watch near my fire, Lonba came into
the mountain every night to see him.
“ Be prudent, Stepan.”
“ It is needless, little father ” and he
repeated with peculiar emphasis and
confidence, the words : “Fedor is my
neighbor and my friend.”
Time passed, and I lived very happily
in this rugged and inharmonious coun
try, but full of contrasts capable of
moving one deeply. They are many ;
sometimes long hour3 under the radiant
immobility of the heavens; before one,
around one, everywhere, the contagious
impassibility of the calm horizon, some
times storm, a whirlwind pursuing the
black clouds along the mountain sides,
the tliunaerbolt which ploughs the sum
mits, waking dull echoes in the savage
breast. Toward the end of August the
weather changed. For eight days a gray
mist like a spiderweb spread over the
valley, and moderated the air to a moist
warmth. The thrushes sang ; the sun
set red and rayless. One morning tiie
sky was overcast, and the rain fell in
torrents. “I must depart,” I said to
Stepan.
“Wait a little, Batko; this will not
last; and you shall kill a bear in the
new moon.” He informed me that for
some time a bear had visited the inclos
ure of his neighbor in the dusk of even
ing to steal the honey there. “We are
going to lie in wait for him, and Fedor
lias appointed me to invite you to go with
us, if it will be agreeable to you.”
I accepted immediately, and immedi
ately we set about cleaning my two
oarreled shot-gun and rifle. Toward 5
o’clock the rain abated, and only from
time to time a few large drop3 fell. At
7 o’clock the wind had swept the sky,
and the same evening ifc was bright
moonlight. We went down to Fedor’s
cottage, who was expecting us.
He was a short, squatty man, with
featUxC‘ corresponding to his figure,
with an insignificant expression. I
think I obsexved that his orchard ex
tended up the mountain to where it met
the wood. At tht highest point, shel
tered by a rock, the L’ves were ranged
in a line. Fedor pointed out to me a
fruit tree which would shelter me, con
ducted Stepan about a hundred steps to
a buck tree and returned toward me in
an oblique direction, a little to the left.
When he had taken his position, I
noticed that we were upon the same
plane, separated by the hives only.
Stepan occupied the summit of the
sharp angle whose sides ended at our
station. I witnessed this with astonish
ment. I also observed that Stepan was
in the direction of the wind, an ex
tremely perilous position for the hunter.
I remarked upon this to Fedor. Ho
calmly explained that the bear usually
followed along the edge of the rock;
that he would go direct to the hives,
and if my shot or his failed he would
very certainly retreat in the direction of
the forest, thus presenting himself to
Stepan, who would cut off his retreat.
A half hour passed, then an hour. I
became too cold to remain thus motion
less, and I moved.
“Patience, Batko,” whispered Fedor.
Soon he leaped to my side. “Look”
he whispered. I followed his glance.
A bear was moving right toward Stepan.
He came from the opposite direction to
that from which I expected him—from
that which Fedor Tiad indicated to me.
Suddenly he stopped, raised his head,
snuffed the air, and again took up his
march, uttering little grunts. From
time to time he opened his jaws, shoeing
a small arsenal of teeth, and breathing
noisily, like a cat quarreling with a dog.
I inspected alternately Stepan, the
bear, and my weapons. The bear was
no more than six or seven meters from
Stepan. The attitude of the peasant
appeared to me admirable ; he had not
yet even raised his rifle.
“He will kill the bear close to the
muzzle,” I said in a low voice to Fedor.
The bear advanced a few steps, then,
with a horrible growl, raised himself
upon his hind feet. My double-bar
reled gun was ieveled in the twinkling
of an eye ; I was about to fire, since
fear, evidently, had paralyzed the im
becile Stepan, but a hand of iron bound
my arm.
“Peace, Batko, peace,” said Fedor,
with an accent which chilled me.
A sodden suspicion hashed through
my mind. I comprehended it all.
Everything had been premeditated skill
fully, and at length prepared : the bear
was accustomed to find honey in the
birch tree; he found to day another
kind of dish, served by the vengeance
of a neighbor and a friend. There then
occurred a frightful scene. With a
bound the bear was upon Stepan ; he
placed one heavy paw upon the shoulder
of the unfortunate man ; with the other
he tore the flesh from his face, then
hugged him in a close embracp, and
rolled upon him. I looked on power
less, in a state of stupor, benumbed
like one who has taken chloroform,
where every feeling of horror is anni
hilated, although having entire con
sciousness of everything passing. A
shot resounded, and restored me to
suyseif. The bear roiled over a few
fjt from h?s victim, JBVdor, rntuifnc
tht brjiStj id j
“ I shall get nearly ten florins for this
fur, and with the government premium
that will make a windfall l”
“ Without counting the death of
Stepan,” I added.
He looked at me ; a hideous exulta
tion, the legitimate transport of a wrong
avenged, sparkled in his eye.
The Carpathians were obscured; all
about the shadows lengthened, faded
out. LoDba wept. I depart to-morrow.
M. M. T.
Progress in Egypt.
Egypt has made immense conquests
of territory in central Africa. While
the sultan of Turkey was lolling in indo
lent repose in his harem, surrounded
by dancing girls and bayaderes, the
khedive of Egypt was scheming and
planning for the accumulation of soil.
He raised a large army; he equipped
and armed it in the best possible man
ner ; he officered it with able military
men from France, Austria, Italy and
the United States. When all things
were ready he struck the provinces in
the heart of Africa, and they surren
dered. Darfur is now under Egyptian
rule, aud a portion of the territory over
which floats the flag of the khedive.
And this economic ruler does not covet
soil merely to count so many acres.
That plan does not meet his approba
tion. He follows the soldier with the
merchant, the cannon by the steambo&t,
the rifle and the sword by the railroad
and the locomotive. A railroad is now
under construction betweeu Cairo and
Khartoum. It will be continued to
Darfur. It may even be extended to
Gondokoro and the Lake Albert Nyanza.
It undoubtedly will be, if the khedive
is allowed to carry out his ambitious
designs. The road will be located in
the valley of the Nile, and its cost not
excessive. From Cairo to Khartoum
the whole expense is estimated at one
million four hundred thousand dollars.
A branch line is also in contemplation
to run from Khartoum, along the valley
of Bahr el Asrak, to the Abyssinian
frontier. Asa trade movement this
furnishes abundant evidence of the far
sightedness of the present ruler of
Egypt. When this road is completed,
he can command and monopolize the
whole trade of the long and fertile val
ley of the Nile, and pour the profits into
his treasury. Forty centuries will gaze
with wonder upon the march of civiliza
tion by the stony sphinx, and the shrill
scream of the locomotive will almost
reach the ears of the ancient Pharoahs
as they lie enshrouded in countless folds
beneath the mighty and enduring pyra
mids. But the present is the motive
power, and the past can only wonder in
silence. Besides the commercial and
trade aspect of this movement, it has
another of startling import, concealed,
it is true, but none the less susceptible
to those who have watched the course
of the khedive for some years. If Abys
sinia were annexed to Egypt, he would
command the whole western coast of the
Bed sea, as he now, in reality, does the
Suez canal. A few yoars ago an Egyp
tian army started in the direction of
Abyssinia. It was halted before the
boundary was reached for fear of a diffi
culty with England. Now no such an
obstacle exists, and the khedive is free
to carry out his design, if it still lingers
in his memory and intent. Suppose
the road constructed to Khartoum, and
also the Spar branch to the confines of
Abyssinia. Then the khedive can move
his troops with ease and rapidity, and
overcome the Abyssinians before they
are prepared to meet the invaders in a
successful manner. This railroad in
the valley of the Nile is a masterly con
ceived plan both from a commercial and
military point of view, and, if completed,
the man in Cairo will be more powerful
in a short time than the master at Con
stantinople.
Wliat We Don’t Know About tlic North
Pole. •
At present there lies within a few
weeks of us, and right betweeu us and
inhabited continents, a circle 1,400
miles across, of which wo know not
even w’hether ifc be land or water, or in
what respects it is affected by some
conditions wholly different from our
own. Is ifc anything more than a great
refrigerator for the production of cold
—that is, for the absorption of heat?
If water preponderates there, then the
cold need not be so extreme as we im
agine ; and just as the equator is not
everywhere hotter than the tropics,
,ust as the eastern hemisphere is warm
er by ten degrees of north latitude than
the western and the northern hemi
sphere very much warmer than the
southern, so even the Artie circle may
have the benefit of some genial influ
ences. It fcas at least half a year of con
tinuous day. What if it be found suf
ficientlv habitable for the establishment
of stations in which the production and
economy of heat will be the only
serious difficulty ? Science is sanguine,
but it confesses itself to be hoping
against hope as to the matter of its
expectations. An animal or two, seeds
that can Btand any cold, some of the
lowest forms of vegetable life, and per
haps organism, in the sea, the possible
revelations of an atmosphere completely
clear of aqueous disturbance, figure
prominently in the catalogue of hope.
If, as suspected, there be ingredients
in the earth’s atmosphere too subtle for
chemical analysis, the spectroscope
may detect them in a region where
humidity no longer embarrasses the
question. Then what is the Aurora?
Is it of earth, or of heaven? Is it
meteoric? Is it cosmic? Does it re
veal a nniversal medium ? Is it a mag
netic phenomenon? At about the
seventieth degree of latitude the ex
pedition will reach the other side of
the Magnetic Pole, and will have to
steer by rules the contrary of our own,
and becoming ’aore and more complex
till the needle points finally to the
centre of the earth. At the Pole not
only the compass, but even the sun,
moon and stars, will cease to be avail
able for the usual purposes of observa
tion ; that is, if anything should happen
to the chronometers, for all will then
depend on the preservation of Green
wich time. The forlorn hope told off
for the Pole will have to mark its track
very carefully if it would be sure of
retracing its course back again.
Reason and SriniTtJAiiiTY,— Blessed
are those who await not the compulsion
of some terrible hour, but who, in the
power of manhood or womanhood, go
to God by a calm, sweet impulse, as
human and ns divine as that which fills
our souls when we feel the friendships
and joys of earth. Wo cannot succeed
in thi* world without confessing the
powers, reason and spiritualism. The
former, alone, is atheism. The latter,
alone, is insanity. Both combined are
earth and heaven growing together,
like flowers that mingle their colors
and perfume. It is spiritualism that
needß special attention in this age.
Reason is already crowned, but spirit
ualism is in rags and dust. But she is
the Cinderella of the house. All the
rags will fall from her, some day, and
reveal a raiment of matchless beauty.
Along the Paoific road there are rough
looking stones that promise little. But
polish them, and lo ! the depths of the
sea are in them, with floating moss and
growing fruits in crystal fields. But
the soul is better than a moss-a-.ate.
Polish up its spiritualism, and in infinite
depths you will behold a crystal sea
with both the blessedness of man and
and tadianoe of God.— David, Swing.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Bye Bread.— Pour boiling water on
rye meal and mix into a stiff dough,
make into squares or rolls and bake in
a hot oven. When the beginner can
manipulate the dough reAdily, he may
succeed in making it light in loaves,
three inches in diameter.
Baised Cake. —Five cups of flour,
one of butter, one-half cup of yeast!
three cups of milk. Bub the butter
into the flour, add milk and yeast, and
set it to rise ; when risen, work in the
sugar, add spice to taste ; when raised,
put in with a fork one cup of floured
raisins.
Loaf Gingerbread. One cup of
butter, two cups of molasses or one cup
of molasses and one cup of sugar, two
eggs well beaten, one toaspoonful of
saleratus. one cup of milk, sweet or
sour (if sour heap your spoon with
saleratus), flour to the consistency of
pound-cake.
Sugar Cake. —One pint of dry flour,
one-half a pint of butter, one-half of
sugar ; mix the flour and sugar, rub in
the butter, add an egg beaten with
enough milk to moisten the whole ; roll
thin and bake in a quick oven. These
recipes are for those who have few eggs
or none.
Yeast Cakes.— These are made by
stirring in corn-meal to fresh, well-risen
yeast, and working it up into a loaf,
cut off thin slices and put them where
they will dry ; if near the fire, don’t let
them get too hot. To use auy yeast
cakes I soak them in a little warm wa
ter until soft, and stir them right up
with the flour.
Bretvis —This is mi do of pieces of
dry bread. Place the pieces in a spider
or other convenient vessel, pour on cold
milk, sprinkle in a little salt and pieces
of butter, as much or as little as you
wish; set it over the fire; when it boils
it is done. This may be made with
white or with brown bread, and is verv
good.
Castle Pudding. —Two eggs, one
quarter pound of sugar, one-quarter
pound of butter, one-quarter pound of
flour ; beat butter to cream, and sugar
finely pounded, then eggs and flour.
Bake three quarters of an hour in a
moderate oven in small cups; when
done turn out on a flat dish and cover
with thick, white sauce, flavored with
wine or essence.
Fruit Pudding. —Chop six apples
fme, grate six ounces of stale bread,
add six ounces of brown sugar, six
ounces of currants, washed carefully
and floured. Mix all well together with
six ounces of butter, a cup of milk,
and two cups of flour in which two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder have been
thoroughly mixed. Spice to taste. If
necessary add more milk in mixing.
Put in a pudding-bat?, tio loosely, and
boil three hours. To bo eaten witn
cream s uce.
Tea-Cakes. Bub a quarter of a
pound of butter into a quart of dried
flour, then beat up two eggs with two
teaepooDfuls of sifted sugar and two
teaspoonfuls of yeast; pour this mix
ture into the middle of the flour, adding
a pint of warm milk as you mix it.
Beat it np with the hand until it comes
off without sticking, and set it to rise
before the fire, covering with a cloth,
and after an hour make it into cakes
about au inch thick, set them on tin
elates to rise before the fire for ten
minutes, and then bake in a slow oven.
■Apple or Prune Pudding.— Crust to
be same as for cream-tartar biscuit, to
be cooked by steam in a covered tin
boiler; roll the crust to the required
size and half an inch thick ; use first a
layer of crust, then sliced apple and so
on having the top layer a crust, leaving
room for the pudding to swell; if
prunes are used swell them first by
soaking thorn in warm water; don’t let
them boil, as that breaks the skin.
Cook the pudding an hour and a half or
two hours, according to the size. Make
a sauce same as for dumpliDgs. I have
made these puddings with peaches, both
fresh and dried, and with dried apples
(always swelling the dried fruit), with
blackberries and witli whortleberries
(or huckleberries), and I never know of
one being heavy made this way.
Afple Dumplings.— The old way to
make these is to make up dough same
as for cream tartar biscuits, take a piece
of the dough, either roll or pull it with
hands till it is about half an inch thick ;
take a cored and pared apple, a half or
Quarter, according to the size, put it in
the center of the dough, make it ud
into a round ball, pinching the dough
together ; if too thick when it is closed
cut off a piece of the and nigh. When all
are made drop them into boiling water
and boil them half an hour. I use
boiL’d sauce with a cup of sugar and a
cup of water boiled together for a few
minutes, add a small piece of butter
and a little nutmeg.
Brown Bread. —One quart of milk,
sour if you have it, if not sweet; four
cups of corn meal, two cups of either
rye or wheat flour, just which you pre
fer. or rye meal, two-thirds of a cup of
molasses, one even teaspoonfnl of salt,
a heaping teaspoonful of soda or sale
ratus; this may bo baked; we like it
best cooked in a covered tin pudding
boiler and set into a kettle of boiling
water, first putting into the kettle three
or four very large nails for the boiler to
set upon ; steam two hours and a half.
I never scald meal for bread except
when I have made the old-fashioned
kind that is risen with yeast, but we
liko this kind of bread much better.
Shoddy Literature.
“Give ns something new that is
worth reading,” is a cry that goes out
through all the land to those busy peo
ple who are tho makers of books. In
the cmrent literature of to-day there
is but little that can stand a comparison
with the least desirable of the older
things that have come down from the
past. The novel of to dav is builded
on the plot which had birth one hun
dred years ago, and we recognize it
readily through the thin disguise of a
change of names and scenery. The
stuff that is duly ladled out to a suffer
ing public as poetry, is too often a
vapid string of nonsense dashed gen
erally with enough of provincialism to
make it offensive to the most highly
cultivated tastes, or, lacking this, is of
so highly sublimated and sentimental a
nature as to be unintelligible to any
savo boarding-school girls and young
gentlemen suffering under the agonies
incident to the sprouting of their first
side-whisker. There is too much of the
odor of tho shop and trade-mark about
it. It bears the impress of machine
made work as plainly as the shoe you
were inveigled into buying by the sweet
notes of your shoemaker, and which be
came a wreck under the first shower it
encountered. What is wanted in book
making, either prose or poetry, is more
head-work, more true and real heart
work and less of the light and disgust
ing r.onsense which has so flooded the
country since the war. Let us have
something real to hand down to our
children.
Tallow Dips.
A writer in Lippincott's Magazine
says : Seventy years ago, when gas and
kerosene were not, and wax candles
were an extravagance indulged in only
on state occasions, even by the wealthy,
the tallow dip was an article of neces
sity, and “candle-dip-day ” was as cer
tain of occurrence as Christmas, though,
perhaps, even less welcome than the
eqnaliy certain annual fast day.
Fancy an immense kitchen with fire
place In the centre of one side. Over
the blaze of blackleg and forestick, and
bk half a r.t
foot wood ” are swinging the iron cranes
laden with great kettles of melting tal
low. On the opposite side of the
kitchen two long poles, abont two feet
apart, are supported at their extremi
ties upon the seats of chairs. Beside
the poles are other great kettles con
taining melted tallow poured on the top
of hot water. Across the poleß are the
slender candle-rods from which depend
ranks upon ranks of candle-wicks made
of tow, for cotton-wick is a later inven
tion. Little by little, by endlessly re
peating the slow process of dipping into
the kettles of melted tallow and hang
ing them to cool, the wicks take on their
proper coating of tallow. To make the
candle as large as possible was the aim,
for the more tallow tho brighter the
light. When done the ranks of candles
still depending from the rods were hang
in the sunniest; spots of a sunny garret
to bleach.
TIIE CHOPS.
Report cl' I lie Memphis Cotton Kiclnngc.
The cotton exchange erop report for
June contains the following aggregate of
one hundred and forty-five responses
from West Tennessee, North Alabama,
and Arkansas of average date June 22:
88, very favorable weather ; 57, moder
ately favorable ; 140, answer no planting
of cotton since May 15; 5 have planted
6 per cent, as to them ; 133, answer cot
ton stands fully satisfactory; 12, an
swer 8 per cent, average as to them ; 84,
answer very good ; 33, good ; 8, moder
ately good condition; 138, free of grass
and weeds, and well cultivated, partially
unclean and not thoroughly cultivated ;
137, that squares are forming freely;
8, not yet forming well. There are
twelve reports of blooms datiDg from
the Bth to the 22d inst. We have only
to report limited complaint of too cool
weather at night throughout small por
tions of each department. Some little
complaint of lice, dating from the sth
of May to about tbe sth of June, but
which subsequent favorable weather
has, in almost every instance, remedied.
Eighty, report very good condition of
corn ; 50 good condition ; 7, moderate ;
32, report corn backward and small but
healthy. All corn crops are reported as
being well cultivated. 107, report
wheat crops harvested, 30 being har
vested, 18 none raised ; 57 report pro
tected from weather, 70 report yet re
maining shocked in field. 100 report
other small grains in promising con
dition, 32 unlavorably, 13 none raised.
67 report grass crops very favorable, 50
moderate condition, 10 bad, 18 none
cultivated. In regard to the morale of
labor, the unanimous reply is that
laborers are working well, better than
since the war.
Making Things Durable.
A leading agricultural paper makes
the following statements as to imparting
durability to shingles, which we regard
as both reliable and useful :
From many experiments tried for the
purpose of rendering shingle roofs
durable, we have found two modes re
sult in eminent success, namely, soak
ing in lime wash, and applying pe
troleum. Twelve years ago, having
occasion to erect a brick building 24 by
GO feet, wo had all tho shingles (which
were sawed pine) well soaked in lime
wash before application. The lime
used was fresh or caustic, and was made
into a rather thin mixture, so that the
liquid might penetrate the pores of the
wood. This was done two or three
days beforehand, so as to become dry.
The carpenters complained of the caus
tic nature of the lime, but on this caustic
character the success of the experiment
depended. We have just examined this
roof in the presence of two builders,
who pronounce tho shingles “as good as
new.” They were perfectly sound and
quite hard, and the only appearance of
age was the wearing of the upper sur
face to an amount about equal t© the
thickness of paper. The experiment
was thoroughly successful. Another
roof, on an adjoining building, put on a
year later without the lime, was partly
covered with moss and most of the
shingles were rotten. In applying lime
for this purpose, it is very essential that
it be fresh and caustic, and that the
shingles be well soaked in a thin wash
that shall penetrate the pores. In per
forming the work, a few shingles were
taken at a time in the hand and dipped
into a tub of the wash and then placed
to dry.
The other mode of preserving shin
gles is the application of crude petro
leum. This costs a little more than
lime, but may be applied more easily,
by using a coarso brush after the shin
gles are laid, the penetrating character
of the oil causing it to pass through
tho shingles, and to run an inch up
wards through the pores. Several
roofs to which it was applied eight
years ago, appear to be in perfect con
dition. From the experiments made,
we hardly know to which of these two
applications to give the preference, but
are inclined to recommend the petro
leum most strongly. The experiment
with lime shows its preservative char
acter, and the importance and value of
using it for buildings and board fences,
provided fresh or caustio lime is em
ployed, when petroleum cannot be con
veniently obtained. It should be thin,
or liquid enough to penetrate the pores
of the wood.
American Officers Fortifying China.
The American appear to be regarded
by the jealous Chinese with more favor
than any other barbarians, and the gov
ernment of China has appointed a large
number of Americans to command the
Chinese armies, which are to be re
modeled on the European plan. From
recent news it appears that this jealous
and exclusive government is turning its
attention to the defence of its coasts,
rivers and harbors. The American
artillerists and naval officers in the
service of China deputed to visit Eu
rope for the purpose of superintending
the building of torpedo ships, purchase
of guns, etc., are now on their way to
Pekm. The torpedo vessels, similar
in construction to those so successfully
used in the James river during the
recent civil war in America, have been
built on the Thames, London, and are
now ready to be despatched, in addi
tion to a number of Krupp and Arm
strong guns, with their necessary am
munition. The first of the formidable
series of defences contemplated by the
government of Pekin will be erected on
the Peiho river. Of course it is useless
to protest against these armaments and
defences, which are probably destined
to be battered down by “the barba
rous,” and at no distant time. Only,
the Chinese by that time will have been
taught by their foreign instructors how
to defend them. It is like selling rifles
and bowie knives to the Indians.
Humming Birds in Paris. —An at
tempt which has just been made to
introduce living humming birds into
the Jiirdin d’Acclimatation has failed,
although a traveler managed to bring
six alive to Paris by feeding them with
honey. The birds were placed in a
large cage in a sunny spot and every
care was taken to shut them up directly
the evening came on, but four soon
died, and the old north wind killed the
remaining pair. The only other hnm
ming-birds which have reaohed Europe
alive were those brought by M. Delattre
in 1855 from Central Africa, but these
died a fortnight after their arrival in
Paris.

It was an ancient enstom of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an abhorence of intemper
ance and its kindred vices, to make
their slaves drunk with wine in the pub
lic market-plaoes, so that the rising gen
eration, upon whom wonld some day de
volve the honor and safety of the Lace
demonian Republio, might see before
them all the ghastly details of the
drunkard's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and of physical strength. ’Twere well,
perhaps, to-day, could some of onr
young men contemplate a similar
instructive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them by a sharply drawn con
trast, the advantages and true loveli
ness of abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, Vinegar
Bitters is the beverage best adapted, it
being purely a vegetable draught,
and void of alcohol or mineral poisons,
and possessing all the virtues, but none
of the damning curses, of the different
poisons which year by year are sweep
ing away thousands of dollars and lives.
