The water is clear and of a dark color, and be sides curing skin diseases of men and beasts, lays out nervous troubles, rheuma tism, paralysis, and similar ailments. The water has not been analyzed, but tastes of salt and borax; is as buoyant as the Dead Sea, and the only animal life it sustains is a species of jelly fish. The lake has no visible outlet, and, although fed by several small streams, never increases or decreases in size. In the slightest breeze the water lashes into a foam, which makes a superi or soap, and almost anything can be cleans ed in the lake ilmch better than by the most powerful chemicals. —The World of the 19th in the course of its notes on the situation, says the Gar field and Arthur Independent Working men’s Club had a banner-raising last night at the comer *f Van Brunt and Del- avan streets, sontli Brooklyn, and there were over two thousand people present. The crowd listened to the music of the band and cheered lnstiiy for Hancock, but would not listen to any speeches for Garfield and Arthur. Four orators spoke, but could not be heard two feet from the stand. Mr. Edward Walden, a prominent Philadelphia importer, writing to the World from Spring Hill, Delaware coun ty, Pa., says: “Delaware county has for many years been a reliable Republican county, giving from 1,600 to 2,000 majori ty. A Democratic club, even in 1676, was a novelty. Now, however, the whole county is ali ve with them. This is em phatically a people’s campaign, and it will be a people’s victory. The conver sions from the Republican party were so numerous, that in most of the rural local ities the Hancock and English clubs num ber many more voters on their rolls than there are Democratic voters in the place.

The Morning Netcs says of the ad dress of the candidate nominated by the committee of eleven, before a Chatham county meeting: “His attacks upon Gov. Colquitt were ruthless, if not reckless, and were received with but feeble ap plause by his audience, in which were in cluded many supporters of the governor.” We are sorry that Mr. Norwood has though tilt to inaugurate a campaign of this description. Of course Governor Col quitt will be compelled to repel and dis prove his attacks, and in doing so, will doubtless carry the war into Africa, and seek to show that “people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” But we deprecate this sort of personal controversy, and intend to steer clear of it. We regard both gentlemen as represent ative and honorable citizens, and can see no reason why, because we prefer the-onc, a necessity is laid upon us to abuse the oilier. The people have already vindicat ed the governor overwhelmingly, botli at home and in the convention, and his will not he a very difficult road to travel. For the sake of future harmony, and the preservation of the only party in Georgia that can assure to us local government, peace and prosperity, we would urge our fellow-citizens not to pcrmlfthe heat of a inert! personal partisanship to alienate life long friendships, and weaken their fealty to Democratic principles. “United vc stand, divided wo fall.” county. A Schi.ev county correspondent says ‘‘political stock is at a low ebb, except that of Colquitt, which is gradually rising point by point. The Albany Advertiser asks the ques tion, “Who was the Brutus of Georgia? and then very impolitely answers th. question. “Wait until the Cth of October, and the people will answer it.” According to the Norwood papers, Gen. Lawton spoke at long range on Thursday night, in Savannah, as he was iu Saratoga. The three gentlemen of the minority, who invited Dr. Feltori to - he a candidate, are gallantly assuming personal responsi bility in the premises, in order to save their chief and their party from what ever blame attaches to the act.

Mapp will not vote for Colquitt. Well what of it ? Are not honors easy ? From the Dawson Journal we learn that the friends of Mr. Norwood are excited in Terrell county, and that they are ready .to spend time and money profttsely in his behalf. They must have a bar’l down thei e. The editor, however, counsels them to “keep cool, gentlemen, and let the hair grow. Gov. Colquitt will speak in Uarters- ville on to-day week, the 28th inst. It is not known yet whether Senator Norwood will meet him there or not. Mr. Norwood had to go home and see Joe Warren first. Still Harping Upon the Southern Census. The New York Tribune says: If the South has entered upon a deliberate con spiracy to falsify the census, as now seems apparent, the growth of “sectionalism” in the North wili be fast and furious. This is a matter of national concern. Stuf fing ballot-boxes is bad enough, but that is partially a local offense. To carry the principle into the census will be to- con vince the North that the South is not to be trusted in any manner; that its sole policy is to get power at any cost of prin ciple. In fact, the effect of the suspicions about the census is already apparent. Men who have hesitated to believe that the So».th would ever seek to have its claims paid, or to be remunerated for liS^'Wucfr'wifl c(?ium!r’cTimes a fiko liufle would be guilty of anything, even to rob bing the treasury. The above monstrous paragraph is de liberately perpetrated in the face of the patent fact, that the whole machinery of the census was retained in the hands of ilie present Republican administration. Nearly every appointee, from the highest to the lowest, belongs to the dominant party, and if any frauds were committed, they are chargeable to the subalterns oi Mr. Ilayes himself. It is only the disappoint ed Radical politicians of the North, how ever, who affect to believe that the re turns of Southern census enumerators are incorrect. On the contrary, in most in stances the aggregated results were a dis appointment to our people. This wag true iu the instances of Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Atlanta, Columbus, Memphis, New Orleans, and other cities. The population of these places fell short of local enumerations previously taken, and, if we mistake not, one or two corpo rations threatened to incur the expense of a new census In order to be set right upon the record. The article in the Tribune shows the animus of the Republican party of the North towards their Southern brethren. They hate ns with a malignity almost fiendish, and do not hesitate to lay to our door every crime known to the cal endar. Hence the necessity tor perfect union and harmony in the ranks of the Democracy at this crucial period, whqn the national canvass is progressing. * We trust the friends of Gov. Colquitt and Mr. Norwood will mutually point the moral, and abstain from personal abuse of each other in the gubernatorial cam paign, which turns solely upon a personal preference for one or the other of the can didates in the field. We can respect Mr. Norwood and yet vote for Colquitt, be lieving him to he the chtfice of a large majority of the people of Georgia. So, likewise, the friends of the ex-Scnator have the right to support him, and can do so without insulting our chief magistrate or quarreling with his followers. Abuse is not argument, and only tends to gender had blood and strife, even. among" those who should be friends and brethren. jmCDts atJi. fashionable boarding house. There i3 just one other thought in this connection that we would like to call the attention of our young friends to, and tbat_ is, remaining at home with the old folks- after man iage. While this habit is not fraught with so much danger as the other, yet it is a sad mistake. There are sonie cases when it is perfectly legitimate, and even necessary, ior the young people to remain with the older ones, to take care of them. And-yet, nine cases out of ten, ilie reverse is true—the old people take care of the young couple. No man or woman either can develop that independence of character and self- reliance essential to suecess in life, as long as they have some one to think anjl plan for them. Far wiser and better, if parents were to ^throw them upon their own resources, and lend their counsel only when actually 1 necessary to save from, misfortune. We have not time to elaborate this thought just now, but sug gest these things that our young friends may think upon them. It is well calculated to stop, says thfe Richmond Disjxttcfa the mouths of the boasters of the Northern press to reflect that Tilden received in 1876 for Presi dent a million of* the votes of n t^ie free white men over twenty-one years of age, more than Hayes received. The Demor crats arc the rightful rulers of this coun-- try. Gen. Bob Toombs was asked by a friend a few days ago whether Mr. Alex. Stephens would be returned lo Congress; “Returned!” said Toombs, “Why, damme, his district ’ll keep him in Congress as long as he lives, and when he dies they’ll run his executor.” Boarding Houses. In onr article a few days ago lo young married people, some of our readers thought we were too hard on the hoard ing houses. This, we did not intend, for the average boarding house is an excel lent institution in its place. It furnishes an asylum for old maids, old bachelors, and widowers. And then it is a kind of a brevet home for yonng men just commencing business life" away from the homestead. But notwithstanding all these admirable characteristics, we still contend that a boarding house is not a good place for young married people. As we said before, it not cnly presents temptations to gossip, flirtation and other unbecoming habits, but more dangerous influences are thrown around the young wife, because she is thrown with a mis cellaneous assemblage of people, good, bad ami indifferent. She hears every day discussions upon all manner of subjects, and interchange of views.upon subjects.of gossip, morality and religion. At fifst she is startled and her sensitive nature is wounded at the ribaldry and jest at those things she has ever been taught to regard a3 sacred and pure. Anon, she hears strange theories of life enunciated by- boarders to be found at 'the average American hoarding house- everywhere, who are either atheist, infidel or free lover, and perhaps all three combined.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The writer has visited a number of the springs and summer resorts of Georgia and no where does ho remember t'd have - ’ seen a set of visitors more contented with their surroundings than those at this place/. The handsome grounds Jaid-out in a fine grove of forest trees, the l&Hlth giving wa ter of this famous spring, an abundance of wholesome food, au attentive and accom modating proprietor and assistants, all tend to this end, while among the guests themselves, made up of cleverpeople from various parts of "the Southern States; there has been an absence of stiff formality, which lias made everything go on pleas antly and socially. There has been a ^iarge crowd here all the time, made up of people of all ages. Among them arO found families from coast cities who eom^ to spend the summer months in this healthy latitude, men of business seeking rest from work and recreation as well as health, young men and maidens most intent on pleasure, and people old and young of both sexes, who are here solely in search of health. There are few wa tering places where the various tastes and requirements of all these can be satisfied, but such is the case here. The main hotel building, which much enlarged and improved this year, is situated about three hundred yards from the spring, between which and the hotel there is a broad walk with gas lamps down each side. Parallel to this central walk and about one hundred and fifty feet from it on either side the cottages extend from the hotel to the spring, with a row of gas lamps iu front of each row of cottages. The buildings in one row are designated by the names of States, those of the other principally by names of towns. On the main walk, be tween the hotel and the spring, there is a large two story building,with ten pin alleys' below, and the ball room above, and porch full length in front of both. This removes the noise of the music and danc ing away from both hotel and cottages, so that those who have no interest therein need not be disturbed by them. Those who prefer the hotel can be accommodat ed there, either on • first or second floor, Yesterday dropped M upon Macon’s greaJ^addl^ * and harness' manufactory on Third street, and was shown through the building from top to bottom.

So many fusses and fights have taken place among the waiters and countrymen that it has been fouud necessary to en gage a watchman, who patrols the porch at night and prevents ail disturbances. The charming Miss Wade, of Savannah, one of the prettiest dancers and most pop ular young ladies at the Springs, left Friday evening. They will miss) her at night “when the band begins to play.” Miss Laura Wilson lias been out for the [last few days, and will be well enough to leave Saturday morning for Covington. Miss Bostick leaves her many friends of Catoosa on to-morrow morning. The crowd is beginning to diminish considerably. Quite a number depart ev ery day, and the arrivals are very few. Monday will witness the departure of some of the best at the Springs, among whom will be Jliss Felton, of Marshall- ville, and Miss Orme, of Atlanta. Miss Sliewinate, of Augusta, has al ready left, and all her friends miss her greatly. The evening dancing was varied for the past three evenings. Tuesday evening a German was danced, led by Miss Postell, of Savannah, and Niss Luna Jackson. Wednesday evening a shaking Quaker was danced which amused all by the novelty of costume and movement. Another German wa9 danced, led -by Prof. Augostini and Miss Carter. Thurs day morning a gentleman (?) knocked a waiter on the head with an Jivory head ed stick. There was no occasion for it whatever, except that the waiter was somewhat tardy in bringing Ids toot- jack. The affair was much talked of and all sided with the waiter, and thought the gentleman should be dealt witb. A party from Atlanta, consisting of M&ses Wilson and Misses Murpliy, came up Wednesday, to spend a day or so. Miss Miller and her brother Mr. J. D. Miller, of Savannah, will stay at Catoo sa during the entire summer. Also Mr. Thomas and family of Augusta, and Mis ses Jackson, of New Orleans. 1 Mr. Geo. S.

We bade farewell to the place of many springs at 5x30 p. m. Friday, and landed in Marietta at 10x30, having spent a most delightful week. We will ever have pleasant recollections of both place anil crowd. The persons at the springs, as a class, were as pleasant and sociable as one would ever care to meet. Maconite.

But there are other points of excellence which recommend tliis place| to one who appreciates such things. First among these is an attentive I landlord who is always ready and anx ious to promote the comfort of his guests. This is just what Jlr. Joseph Alien has proven bimsclt to be, and his excellent wife is unceasing in her efforts to contri bute to the comfort and pleasure of all. All those who are sick are sure to receive from her such attention as is rarely met with in any public bouse, and the child ren who want fruit, or other little favors, know that the way to the attainment of their wishes, leads to her room. The office is*in charge of Mr. H. L. Porter, well and favorably known in this capacity in Atlanta and Macon, and his efforts to make things work for the pleas ure of the guests are ably seconded by his wife, who, in addition to her kindly ef forts in the same direction with Mrs. Al len, lias contributed no little to onr en-| joyment by her musical talent. ■ The dining room and kitchen are under] the personal supervision of Mr. Thomp son, and while there is no attempt at any city style or fancy cooking, there is an abundance of good wholesome food—a prominent item bemg good bread of all kinds, which latter feature is a rarity, as far as my recollection and experience go, at Georgia watering places. And here comes up another point of excellence under the head of cleanliness. The floor of the large dining hall is scoured two or three times a week, so as to be always clean and bright, and the table linen is always clean. The same regard for cleanliness is shown in the ar rangements of tho kitchen and the dairy. I cannot speak for the carrying out of this point all through the rooms of this widely extended establishment, hut as far as can be judged from personal obser vation and experience in my own quar ters, I can testify that the 1 managers of the Chalybeate Springs do not oppose the doctrine of “cleanliness next to Godli-. ness.” More than once, when cottages near mine were vacated, I noticed that they were thoroughly cleaned, and the beds aired and sunned before they were prepared for being occupied by others.- I have made special mention of this item of cleanliness, because here it ap» pears in refreshing contrast with any oth er place of the kind I ever visited in Geor gia. . * Another important feature here this year is the presence of a resident physi cian, who, coming here witli a good repu tation from his home in Alabama, has shown by liis treatment of a number of cases—some of quite a serious nature—that he understands his business. The Italian hand furnishes excellent music at meal time and in the ball room, and the young people at tlio Warm Springs (7 miles distant) irequently come over to enjoy the privilege of dancing here. A most enjoyable feature of thi3 place is found in the splendid baths which are free to the' guests, and can be had hot or cold, both before aud afternoon. Bjlliard tables and tcii-pin alleys are also frce to the guests at all times—the regular rate of board, as advertised or con tracted for, covering ail the expense nec essary to the full enjoyment of every means of recreation, on .the grounds. Horses and vehicles cau be hired at the stables near the hotel, and the roads are very good for driving. There is a steam laundry on the grounds, and plenty of servants in every department, to attend to the wants of tho guests. We are having delightful weather, and the early riser who is out to enjoy the fresh, pure morning air, witness the splen did sunrise and walk to the spring for his regular draught of “Chalybeate” before liis morning meal, can do justice to our friend Thompson’s breakfast, with an appetite that would astonish city folks. I think I have written enough to show that Chalybeate Springs is the place for Georglaus who would like to take a little recreation near home, and those who wish to place their families away frcun the reach of malaria in the month oi Sep tember can find no better place. There are many here now who" expect to remain until October 1st, up to which time the hotel will be kept open. I write the above pro bono publico, so that our friends may know where to find a good place to go, and I hope you can find room to publish it for the benefit of all. Bibb. ner of Mulbernr and Third streets, sur mounted by a large flag, and various de signs of the trade carried on-below, so we shall not attempt aTlescriptfon of its out side. We found ourselves iu the midst of three large arched stores^,'densely packed with all classes of harness, saddlers’ and shoemakers’ goods aud findings, embra cing hardware, lasts, blankets, mats, tan ners’ goods, leather,-etc. This, the first floor, is also the shipping department, and around us goods were being prepared for delivery to points as far distant as Phila delphia; for the Ann has ail extensive trade. We were shown one order from a Philadelphia house for saddles, alone, that would foot up to nearly a thousand dollars. In the cellar we found a large stock of leather,'axle grease, oils, moss, etc., all ’lying ready for use, and packed in every available foot of space; far even with their three stores,- three stories, outbuilding and basement, the house is crowded. The cellar not being specially attractive to, the nose owing to the presence of some raw bides, we passed on up stairs and came unto the second floor, which is tlic store house of the establishment, where iu'end less variety are piled up goods purchased and manufactured. On this floor we found every style of whips, saddles, harness, collars and manufacturers’ goods. Some idea of the quantity there to ‘be seen can be had when it is known that one hundred varieties of harness were visible, for not only must samples be kept, but full stocks if possible. Many ‘of the goods we saw around us were being prepared for ship ment, the finn bping nearly a mouth be hind.in'its orders, although the bands are worked on extra time. In this department we saw specimens of harness used for mill work. It is the strongest harness in the market, and nec essarily so, for the firm makes it a special ty aud employ only the very best mate rial. This harness is made for the lum ber and milling, as well as plantation business, in which the use of combined teams must he had. Upon it there is powerful strain constantly exerted, and only the very best work in the line gives satisfaction. The proof of Bemd Bros.’ work in this respect is the trade which they have taken from Savannah, and the constant assurances of their pata rons that none can compete with it. Passing on upward we reach the third floor, and the most interesting depart ment—the manufactory In this de partment are employed about thirty hands, on every grade of harness, saddle, aud collar work; for it is into these three divisions that the trade is divided. The harness makers’ ;« different from the saddlers, and the collar makers is also separate. The former two, however, are subdivided into many- parts, ' each of which eventually becomes a specialty with a journeyman. We found at work here six saddlers, four collar makers, and twenty harness makers, and certain ly it was a beautiful sight to see the deft hands bringing into form and shape, beau tiful harness, handsome and comfortable saddles, and piles of collars. In one corner sat Captain Jett, whose time is devoted to fine saddle work, and who is known all over the country as an artist in his line. Near him were others stichting breast bands for fancy harnesses, and further on our old friend Espenner upholstering a saddle, for he has carried his trade up and joined it to the saddler’s, Scattered about were the others, each working steadily in his own department, stitching by hand, one by machine, some cutting by ruled knives, some with dies, some stamping, some saddle stuffing, some collar stuffing, and others finishing off neat sets of harnesses. The foreman of this department is Hansel Williams, a young man who en tered the firm’s employ at ten years of age, and developed such a talent for work ing in leather as to reach at last tlic high est office in the manufactory. There are many other • fine workmen, however, among whom we heard oftenest, the names of Kinchen, Morrill and Parsons, the latter, foreman of the collar depart ment. Notwithstanding the fact tl;at the firm keeps its hands employed on extra time, it Seems' impossible- to catch up with its orders. They are now more than five hundred saddles behind, aud do not attempt to drum up trade.

The firm of Bemd Brothers stands upon a sound basis—devotion to business and reliability of work. The leather used in their manufactures is tlic best that can be purchased. It comes from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Hampshire. Indeed, wherever good leather is offered for sale, tho firm is a purchaser. It buys its common stock from Teuuessee. The greater part of the work turned out is en tirely handmade, though they have in operation a very pretty machine for stitch ing and will soon have in another. Their harness has an extended fame, and lies won premiums in all fails where they have competed. It is beautifully finished, and while sellilng as cheap as any in the markets, there are styles turned out which sell for $125 in single and $-300 in double sets. We have al ready spoken oftlieir heavy harness, of which they are .compelled to keep on hand a full stock, for this mill harness m Georgia is like a pistol In Texas, when you want it, you want it in a hurry. The firm is now manufacturing a heavy sail duck collar* which, in this section, will eventually succeed all old styles, be ing more durable, and lighter in weight than all others. The collar department is entirely separate from the establish ment, and is quite an industry by itself. ■j*a iiubi iAuuiij. jHviiuuuuuiouii »i ibit a permit to ride on thd engine through the famed Swannanoa pass, we were pre- pareil to take au excellent view of thi3 Sqoqnuin fastness, and the results of the skill and labor required tp.overcome na ture’s bulwarks, -which to a casual ob server appear so insurmountable. With us,on the engine were Miss Cora N- apd one of the directors of" the road, the presence of the latter giving us an intelli gent account of the progress and difficul ties of this stupendous undertaking. Three years were consumed in con structing the nine miles oi the road, which were required to over come a distance of two and a half miles, and fifteen hundred feet grade. At the summit, we plunge into and through a tunnel over one-third of a mile In length, emerging from which, brings in full view the whole mountain barrier, which appears impenetrable and a bar to further progress. The curves are sharp and continuous, short tunnels fol low each other to the number of ssven; the road curves back and passes under it self. At one point four lines of rails are in full view, one below the other; all four coulilbe crossed by a rifle shot. Six miles are run, ard uot. three hundred yards in distance gained, circling aud lowering down, down, down, continuously curving under towering peaks, on irail bridges, over frightful .chasms, through curved tunnels,-until just at twilight we emerge from the pass at the base, where au ex r cellent supper is provided, and the strain and novelty of the trip relaxes into the average monotony of railroad travel. The last few years have developed the PQisibility.of constructing and operating railroads wherever necessity requires them to be built. There is no barrier that cannot be penetrated or surmounted, no difficulties that cannot be. overcome by engineering skill, and abundance of means, and roads in these difficult places are generally much better and more safe; ly constructed than average lines. k Sleeping berths, on the Central rail road plan, are secured for the night run to Salisbury, where the Piedmont Air Line train picks us up early in the morning, dropping the. party in North Danville at ten o’clock.' Sixty miles nearly north bring us to Lynchburg in two and a halt hours. .An excellent dinner at the Noi> roll House places all in an excellent con dition to enjey the short run oi forty-two miles to this place, which is reached at 4:30 p. m. This summer resting place and sanato rium is pleasantly located immediately on the line of the road; in fact you step from the cars on to the piazza, and are at once at home, bag and baggage, and are met with a welcome such as but few men, ex"- cepting the host, Pliil Brown, could ex tend. The grounds, lawns, shaded nooks; vale with its rivulet. lakes and ponds, are charmingly attractive. The guest can oh 1 tain plenty «f outdoor exercise, of a pleas ant aud hcaltlilul nature. The main buildisg and,numerous la.vn cottages are neatly and comfortably furnished, all pre 1 - sided over by that incomparable, genial junior proprietor of the Markham House. Among the notables now here is the old veteran of Virginia summer resorts, thb venerable James Elder, of Memphis. This is his filth summer here, and he says it combines more real comfort and pleasure than any place he lies ever visited. He speaks oracularly. The majestic form and brilliant intel lect of Rev. J. B. Hawthorne tower among the crowd, with a pleasant word o:- mnl fur-each ami every one. Bishop Pen- nock can unbend and join heartily in the pastime amusements with which the place is so liberally supplied, and there are none here that can oftener make a strike oir the ten pin alley than these two reverend gentlemen, both of whom have held di vine services, much to the gratification of the guests. We must not omit to mention Rev. E. S. Gregory, ex-editor of a Lynch burg paper, whose versatile pen is ever on the alert to record the sayings and •doings and passing events of this fascinaj- ting place. More auon. C. A.

The Weekly Financial Report, publish- The Devon.—This is one of the most beautiful of the English breeds, dis tinguished for their red color, symmet rical si-ape ami general combination of qualities. Their fine appearance and: active, quick movements-makeL. them favorites as working oxen. The cows arc also naturally good milkers, and the breed is also highly prized for beef. The Hereford.—Tins is one of the old est of the thorough breeds, and is noted for beef and for working oxen. The Hereford is larger than tho Devon, ank resembles them somewhat in color, red predominating, ’.with intermixture of white. They are not noted for milk. The Ayrshires.—This breed originated in Scotland, taking their Dame from the county of Ayr, where they originated and attained their celebrity." It is the most popular breed of milk cows in that country, and long held pre-eminence in this country for daily purposes—especially for milk and cheese. There are probably more dairy cows of this breed in this country than of any of the improved races. Their milk is noted more for quantity than for butter. The Alderney.—This is a choice, small race, originally giving only a moderate quantity of very rich creamy milk. They have a peculiar fawn-like appear ance, and are more distinctive in charac teristics than any other breed. The Jer-' sey is now the most popular breed for do mestic dairy purposes'in the United States. They have been greatly improved of late years, in forpi, and also in the quantity of milk. A fancy farmer doe3 not considet his farm .complete without a small herd of these beautiful and gentle animals. - Short Homs.—This is the most univer sally popular breed in this country. They crow to the largest size and are excellent ly suited for general purposes—but es pecially well for grazing oil rich pastures and stall feeding. They are not specially adapted to the eotton States,.owing to the general want of sufficiently extensive aud rich pastures. They are not esteemed as oxen; being rather heavy and sluggish in movement. Ilolsteins.—This is a Dutch breed of comparatively recent introduction. They are black aud white in color, of large size, and noted for quantity as well as quality of milk. To Boil Eggs.—To boil eggs properly, place them in a dish having a close cover: pour over boiling water; cover and set away from the fire for ten or fifteen min utes. Eggs cooked in this way are more delicious and digestible than when allow ed to boil in the old way. The heat of the water cooks them slowly to a jelly-likp consistency, leaving the yolk harder than the white. Mrs. Livermore contends that if mothers would train their girls as house keepers, at the youthful period when girls would be delighted to learn, they would then take to b ousekeeping as naturally as ducks take to water. She does not re commend, however, that instruction should be confined mainly (a domestic duties, or that marriage should be considered the principal aim of the fair sex; bnt advo cates a system of broad and liberal indus trial tuition, which will fit women for any of the probable contingencies of life, ren der them self-dependent, aud fully devel op their varied faculties. Delicate Ai*ple Pudding.—Scald, or steam, aud then put in a marble mortar, or grate, as many sour apples as will fill your»apple dish about three inches deep. Stir to the apple the grated rind of one lemon or orange, and sweeten to your taste before putting it in the dish. Mix half a pint of milk, with the same quan tity of cream, and the beaten yolk of one egg. Scald these together, stirring all the time. Do uot let it boil. Sweeten"; take from the 6re and set aside till cold, then pour over the apple. Finish by spreading over the top nicely whipped cream or frosting. The Orange Tree.—The orange tree is the longest-lived fruit tree known. It is reputed to have attained the age of 300 years, and been known to flourish and bear fruit more than 100 years. No fruit tree will sustain itself and produce fruit so well under neglect and rough treatment. It begins to bear about the third year after budding, and by the fifth year produces an abundant crop,, though the yield is gradually increased by age and favorable circumstances.. The early growth of the orange is rapid, and by its tenth year it has grown more tnau it will in the next fifty, so far as its breadth and height are concerned; but it is age multiplies its fruit stems.
