These pretty ornaments are not at all
difficult to make. The basket or any
other ornament, is first fashioned with
copper wire as skeleton of the pattern,
desired. For blue crystals. take a satu-
rated solution Of sulphate ofcopper in hot
water. place the pattern in this liquor,
and set it in quiet place; as the solution
cools, crystals of the sclphate will be
deposited on the wire; but, to increase
their size. it is only necessary to place
the ornaments in fresh and perfectly
saturated solution of the copper salt.
For Yellow crystals, use the yellow
prussiate of potash.
For Ruby, use the red prussiate of pot
ash.
For white, use alum, or acetate of lead.
The Salts of Chromium, and many 9TH
ers, are equally applicable for this pur-
pose, if greater variety of color be want
ed.
To preserve these ornaments in all
their beauty, they should be kept under
glass shades.

The RISING GENERATIoN.-H was said
by somebody-John Neal, we believe,
for he is always uttering quaint things
from that huge package of brains plant
ed on his shoulders-that there were no
boys and girls nowadays, but that they
sprung out of their mothers arms into
men and women. We confess that odd
as the idea is, there is little too much
fact in its base. The boys are eager to
reach manhood, which they are apt TO
think consists in smoking cigars, chew
ing tobacco. drinking toddies and rolling
oaths, as sweet morSels from of their
tongues. The girls are equally eager to
attain the glories of wCmanhOod, which
consists in wearing elegant dresses, spin
ming street yarns. going 10 parties, and,
and. shall we say il?-getting husbands.
Well, it is out, and upon the whole.
we'll let it stand, though we incur
thereby the perils Of having our ears pull
led.
SO the one class are ever in a hurry to
cast their Jackets for long tailed coats,
and their candy for cigars; and the other
to step out from the cathepi chrysa-
lis of pantalets and short dresses into the
full blown butterfly beauty of woman
hood.
But ''the more haste the worse speed;"
and we advise the boys and girls to hold
on to their bread and butter life, just ss
long as they possibly can. They will
never be so happy as now.

A Great Root Grower.

The American Agriculturlsl gives short
account of some OF the operations OF L. Is.
Calvert, of Md, on his farm called Rivers
dale, about seven miles from Washington,
ID. C. It would seem by these statements
that Mr.. Calvert is king of the root grow
ers in the u. S. The AgrlculturIst says
that his farm is a sandy loom, and has been
very severely cropped aud greatly reduced
IN fertility, until he undertook the removal
ton system. His turnIp crop last year was
25 600 bushels upon thirty acres. That a
mounts TO s;}3 ~ bushels to the acre Our
own farmers could raise turnips as largely
to the acre as this crop, but too many of
them have imbbed the idea that they are
of very little value when raised, and So they
neglect the culture, aud have compared
them to grass and have always considered
them as solldifed grass, or grass made into
a solid state on purpose for green food for
stock during our long winters. From 9TH
er sentiments IN this same journal, we see
that Mr.. Calvert is making our name true
one by the mode IN which he feeds out has
turnips, using them entirely as grass, and
giving his cattle no hay at all, while feed
ing them out la this way he uses up this
enormous crop.
He keeps 80 COWS, says the Agriculture
! ist. "moslly Durhams, besides other stock.
/ The turnips are cut up with root cutter,
some twelve hours before feeding time, and
sprnkled with salt and bran. The salt en-
trely prevents any unpleasant taste IN the
milk. At the same time quantity of corn
stalks are cut or rather ground fine, aud
these are fed to the cows, mixed with tur-
nps, at the rate of two bushels of stalks to
one of turnips, day. Upon this food with
out any hay, the cows are kept all winter
and give milk all the time"

of hay, which by hauling It into Washing

AN EDlToRIAL " BLooMRR The Bos-
ton Commonwealth has " leader" on the
new costume for ladies', concluding with the
following, which Ear exceeds our most san
gulne Imagination
The general adoption of the dress will do
more for the national wealth than the mines
of California, and more for the national
health than all the discoveries in medicine
since Galen. These are our sincere and
earnest opinions, and we accordingly wish
the new invention all possible success. Both
in an economic aud aesthetic point of view,
1t hardly yields TO any improvement OF the
age which can be named. Moreover, we
learn that the most gifted and beautiful of
the sex are everywhere making preparations
to adopt the new American style. Ii will
be great thing for the ladies' of Paris be-
fore long to be dressed Z Amsricdine.
The Traveller also contains long CON-
munlcation from physician IN favor OF The
new costume, and ia an editorial reference
To il, says:
We should rejoice to see a change in la
dies dresses, which should give them free
dom of action aud comfor, in motion, and at
the same time be graceful and modest. The
absurdity of the existing fashion Is 50 man
fest that it is astonishing that sensible ladies'
have so long submitted 10 II. What can be
more uncomfortable, ungraceiul, uncieanly,
than the tight-waisted trailing dresses oithe
present fashion. Aud how much OF actual
suffering, aud injury to health, this style of
dress has inflicted OH the mothers and daugh-
tiers of our land.

The Progress of Lynch Law
Another Lynching Affair.

We are indebted to Mr. J. ID. Brown of
New York Bar, for the first particulars of
a recent case of lynching at Oregon Bar,
on the North Fork of the American River
On Tuesday last, a fellow named Bill
Harding was arrested for attempting TO steal
horse from Messrs. Blum g. Moffat. 1t
appears that Hardin made an attempt to
steal the horse about twelve O'Clock the
night previous, and was caught in the act,
Accordingly, the next morning a Court
was organized by the appointment of jury
of twelve men, aud one gentleman as coun-
sci for the prisoner. The evidence was Of
the most conclusive character, Hardin hav-
ing been detected in the act. The Jury
found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him
to receive fifty lashes, have one half his head
shaved, aud TO De banished from the Bar,
never to return. The sentence was Imme-
diaiely carried OUT Sacramento Trans

The Indians.

A general amnesty now exsts between
two tribes of indians heretofore hostile to
each other, the Pico and the Ridge Indians,
found between the Middle and South Fork
of Feather River They have hitherto been
on bad terms, but il is thought that for
the purpose of making more ehectuaI
attack on the whites IA the Honcui coun-
try, they have united their forces and
come to a regular understanding.
Quite recently they attacked two miners
on the road TO Tolles's diggngs, killing
one and wounding the other severely, by
an arrow shot in the shoulder These In
dams are represented as having given prac-
tlcal evidence Of their hostility in several
ways. They have driven off stock irom
ranches, and stolen articles from unpro
iected cabins, whenever opportunity was
presented. The whites anticipate a gen
eral outbreak ia the course of the coming
Summer.
