MISCELLAN EOUS.
MAJOR GENERAL WORTH.

HIS MILITARY CHARACTER AND SERVICES.
General William j. Worth is said TO be
the handsomest and most soldierly looking
officer in the army. His height is over six
feet, and his person commanding. On horse
back he presents figure of acknowledgement.
His nature is somewhat impeluous, like
many brave and frank men. He is exceed
ly popular among his soldiers. As one OF
the heroes Of Monterey, as the victor of Mo-
posleri.y second only to that CT Scott and
TAYLOR.
Worth, like many other able men in the
army, has risen from the ranks. He began
life as clerk in a mercantile house in Al
banv, New York, the latter being his native
commonwealth. On the breaking on, of the
war of 1912, however, fired with tina. pa,ri-
olic ardor which is leading trait in his
character, he enlisted as common soldier.
Another clerk was his companion. Forlu-
nately for Worth, his friend soon committed
some indiscre,ion, for which he was placed
under arrest. IN this emergency he applied
to Worth, who undertook TO write petition
for him to the Colonel. This officer hap
pened 10 be Scott, who, struck with the ele-
CANT style of the memorial, enquired of the
writer. and sending for him, made him his
private Secretary He procured for Worth
the commission Of Lieutenant in the 23d
regimen. of infantry. From that hour ~
to their unhappy difference in Mexico, the
closest intimacy existed between Worth and
Scott.
In the battle Of Chippewa, Worth proved
the correctness Of SCOTS estimate of charac-
ter, by signalling himself especially and
was consequently rewarded with the rank
Of Captain. In the battle of Lundy's Lane
Worth after several hours of severe fighting
received dangerous wound. In consde
ration Of this, he was raised to the rank o
Major. After the peace, he was for con
siderable period, superintendent of the Yves
Point Military Academy, post which il
always guarantee of high ability on th
par, of the occupant. In 1924 he was ap
noin,ed Lieut.. Colonel: in 1882 Majo
of ordinance and in 1888, Colonel of tn
S,h regiment of Infantry, which is the ranl
he sill holds in the line. Subsequently b
was raised successfully to the breUet-rank O
Brigad,er and afterwards of Maj. Genera
The frs, for his brilliant conduct at Mon
terey.

THE SERAPH'S INVITATION.
s'Here flowers ever bloom,
Waiting a rich perfume;
Pure joys, that neer consume:
Spirit, away"
Thus sang an angel band,
Sent from the spirit land,
By heavenly zephyrs famed,
At close of day.
Low on his humble bed,
Calmly the Christians head
Lay; while his spirit fed
On the sweet tone.
Firm on his throbbing breast,
Death his cold seal had pressed,
Like an unwelcome guest,
Dreary and lone.
"Here, music's sweetest strains,
Flow DER the heavenly plains,
Here bliss eternal rcigns:
Come, to thy home
On his delighted ear
Harmony, deep and clear.
From the celestial sphere,
Reechoes, 'come"
Smiles on his placid brow,
Shed delightful glow;
Rapturous thoughts did flow
Thro' his glad heart.
Warmly his bosom glowed,
Swiftly his pleasures flowed,
On the celestial road:
Glad to depart.
Again, sang the angel choir,
Sweeping their golden Tyre,
In tones sweeter, nobler, higher:
"Hasten thy flight.
"Here by the living streams. -r-------=--e----
Bright as the noon-tide beams,
Angels in golden Dreams
Bask with delight
Then yelled from mortal sight,
Upwards he took his flight,
Conveyed by seraphs bright,
TO realms above.
There, DER celestial skies,
His happy spirit flies,
Where joys perpetual rise,
In climes Of love.

HOW TO MAKE SAUR-KRAUT

Take as many drum-head cabbages, or
any other kind having firm head, as you
wish to preserve, tear off the onter leaves,
quarter them, cut ont the stalks and chop
the remainder into small pieces by hand or
by machine. Then to every one hundred
pounds of cabbage take three pounds of salt,
one-quarter pound Of caraway seed, and two
ounces Of juniper berries, and mix them to-
gether in dish or bowl. Then procure as
many clean casks, strongly hooPed with
iron, as may be required, and fill them with
layers of the chopped cabbage, about three
inches thick, sprinkIing each layer, as it is
pressed in, with the mixture of caraway seed,
juniper berries and salt. When each cask
is full, lay over it coarse linen cloth and
wooden follower or lid, just fitting within
the mouth Of the cask, upon which must be
placed stone or weight sufficiently heavy
to rreven, it from rising, and allow it to fer
ment for month. The cabbage produces
. great deal Of water, which floats around
the sides to the top of the follower or lid.
This must be poured off, anG in its place
supplied with a solution Of lukewarm warm
water, whole black pepper and common salt,
taking care that the cabbage is always COW
cred with brine. In order to keep the kraut
fresh and for long time, the casks should
be placed in cool situation as soon as
sour smell is perceived.
Uses, &c.-Saur-krau, is not only
wholesome vegetable, but one of the best
preventives Of the sea scuIvy that we have.

A SERMON FOR YOUNG LADIEs.-An ex-
change paper says that Dow, Jr., that lncor-
rigible old saint, still continues to preach
Jus. as faithful as ever. Here is an extract
from his sermon to the young woman, in
view of the commencement Of the new year:
''My young Maidens: ] know you all
wan. to get married as soon as you enter
your teens; but i. is better 10 remain single
and live upon the cold soup of solitude, than
to marry misery or wed woe. ] have but
poverty stricken opinion Of the majority
of my sex. They are corrupted by the mis-
called refinements of the age, so inflated
with pride, so fooled by fashion, so afraid
Of the soil on which they live, so given to
cul,iva,ing whiskers and moussaches, while
their morals are in wretched state for want
Of wedding, and SO overgrown with hair,
vanity and laziness, that scarcely one i'll
twenty is worth being trusted with wife.

CHoLEEA.-The most sensible medical
letter on the cholera that has yet appeared,
has been sent to the London Times, by Rev.
Mr.. G. Winslow, vicar of Tugby, Leicester
shire The reverend gentleman quotes his
own experience Of the treatment OF the cho-
Iera, the result Of which, he says, is thai
s'of all the maadies to which man is liable,
there is none more easily subdued and more
durable than the cholera, If the physician
can only have fair opportunity of combat
ting the disease in its first invasion OF the
system The great mistake we have all
made is in regarding the diarrhga which
precedes the disease only as premonilory
symptom, and devolng our whole attention
TO the more concentrated form which it sub
sequen,ly assumes; whereas it is the first
stage, the first effect of the poison upon the
system, and the only period of its progress
when the disease may be successfully as
sailed. The remedy most useful in this and
every stage is calomel. Calomel is our
shee, anchor in cholera.
In the first stage, combined with opium
it rarely fails 10 cure but it must be glve'
in the larger dose Of twenty grains of cali"
mel to one of opium, and be repeated, if ne
cessary quickly; aud in the subsequen
states of the disease, it is the forlorn hope
OF the physician. No other remedy has
ever succeeded where mercury has failed to
restore the action Of the liver; and we ma,
rs well attempt 10 blister board, or warm
q corpss with friction and s,imulants as to
rouse by such means the vital powers, when
the pa,ient has fallen into the state of COLI
lapse. Le.the public remember the imPor-
tan, fact, that diarrhGa is the frs, symptom
of cholera, and in that stage it is most east
ly remedied; bu, if it passes that period.
and the serum of the blood has been SO
d., aimed off, to leave it like tar in the ves-
sells, there is very little chance for any bu,
a fatal termination.

GOOSE SToRY-At the flour mills of
Tubberakeena, near CIonmeI, while in the
possession of the late Mrs. Newbold, there
was goose which by some accident was
Ie'' solitary, wiIhou, mate or offspring, gan
der or gosings. Now, i: happened, as is
common, tina, the miller's wife had set
number of duck eggs under hen, which in
due course were incubated; and Of course
the ducklings, as soon as they came forth,
ran with natural instinct to the wafer, and
the hen was in sad pucker-her materni-
ty urging her to follow the brood, and her
seliishness disposing her to keep on dry land.
Ia the mean while, up sailed the goose, and
with noisy gable, which certainly (being
interpreted) meant, leave them to my care,
she swan up and down with the duck!ings;
and when they were tired with their aquatic
excursion, she consigned them to the care
OF the hen. The mex, morning, down came
again the ducklings TO the pond, and there
was the goose waiting for them, and there
stood the hen in her great illustration. On
this occasion, we are not at all sure that the
goose invited the hen, observing her mater.

the goose and hen after them, up and down
the pond And this was not a solitary event.
Day after day, the hen was seen on board
the goose, attending the ducklings up and
down, IN perfect con.entedness and good
humor, numbers of people coming to wit
ness the circumstance, which continued un-
til the ducklings, coming to days of discre-
ton, required no longer the joint guardian

CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO.

The culture of tobacco in the valley Of
the Connecticut, has, within a few wears.
become an object Of considerable import
ance. The variety here produced is known
IN The market as "Connecticu, Seed-Leaf."
and j! usually brings double the price, or
more, than the tobacco grown in Virginia or
Kentucky. TO g i've profitable crop it re-
quIres pretty rich land-though the sandy
soils, MANFRED at the rate of ten to twenty
common two-hor>e or OK loads per acre,
produce we'll. With good mana cement the
usual yield is from 1900 to 1900 pounds
per acre, of marketable tobacco, and the
average price may be said to be seven to
eight cents per pound.
Mr.. Sargent, Of Springfield, and Messrs.
Wells and Paol Lathrop, of South Hadley,
are considerably engaged in the tobacco csI-
ture. The former had seventeen acres the
past season. At the above rates Of Weld
and price, which it will probably equal, it
will give an average return of $3.50 to $3.50
per acre.
With the course that is here pursued, TO-
a az "ssmni1dbfHanhg 5fe:: Ne rovisf msnurtg
and clean cultivation which it is necessary
to bestow on the tobacco, fits the sell adj
mirably for other crops; and it is found that
whea, and other grains and grass flourish
better where tobacco forms part of the ro-
ta,ion, than where that plant is not cutiva-
ted Messrs. La,hrop mentioned an instance
of their having put $36 worth of manure on
an acre and a hundred rods Of land, which
they planted with tobacco. They got ton
of tobacco, which sold for $3.50. Then
sowed the land to wheat and got thirty
bushels. The mex, crop was hay, and gave,
at two cuttings, four tons.
The stalks of tobacco, after the leaves
have been taken of, are scattered over the
ground and pIoughcd in, or placed in the
manure heap to rot. 1t is thought they
possess considerable fertilizing properties.
1t is known tina. the ashes from them con-
tain large proportion Of potash. We are
told that where two or three stalks are left
on grass-ground, their effect is very visible
in the rank growth Of the grass around.
