ToMATo.-But few years, compara-
lively, have elapsed since the general in
PRODUCTION of the tomato plant into our
country. Yet few garden vegetables are
now in greater favour. The plant posses
ses many excellent qualities to recommend
it to the attention of our farmers and hor-
ticulturists. 1t may be produced upon
every kind of soil, and always bears a.
bundantly Itgrows best, however, upon
a light, alluyial soil. The middlesized
varieties Of the vegetable are generally
preferred for cooking purposes; and when
served up to the table nicely cooked, and
and seasoned with salt, pepper ETC., few
vegetables are more healthful or agreeable
to thepalate. Thetomato should be large
ly cultivated by our farmers, both as q
home comfort, and as profitable source
of income The best method of preserY-
ing the tomatoes, is to pour them, after
being cooked and seasoned, and while yet
hot, either into tin cans, through a small
hole in the top Of the can, or into glass
bottles Then if the opening be quickly
closed up and tightly sealed, they will
remain good for any length of time. The
size of the cans should be proportionate to
the size of the family, SO that when one is
opened the contents may be used before
they begin to spoil.

A HINT TO SANITARY REFoRMERs.-If.
as sometimes happens, a snail creep into
the hive, the bees Immediately sting it to
death. The body of the snail is far toe
heavy for the bees to drag out; and yet
unless prccaution be taken it would put.
refy and make stencil in the hive. To
prevent this they thoroughly embalm it
with propelis; and, which is even more
remarkable, should snail with a shell In
trude into the hive, it withdraws its body
within its shell at the fsrt sting; and the
bees, as ifthey knew that the shell would
moi corrupt, in such case spread On pro-
polls over the shell, but merely fasten up
the orifce.-Liadeu Aeagp's Indications Of
Instinct.

A Bloomer After a Lover.

The local of the Dayton Empire says
he saw slightin in that city OF sights last
Friday, 1t Was young lady possess
ing beautiful features. Her eyes glisten-
ed and glowed with intense brightness;
her cheeks were flushed as the rose, and
her lips bore the resemblance of red cher
ries freshly plucked from the trees. Her
costume was of black velvet. She was
dressed Ia Bloomer-only little more
SO. Her pants came to the ancles, where
they were buckled around pair of white
stockings. She had black mantle thrown
oyeS her shoulders, and on the top of her
head sat very becomingly black beaver
hat Her hair was combed beautifully on
each side of hor forehead, and fell in ring
lets over her shoulders. She is about
eighteen years of age, halls from Phila-
delphia, and is now on her way to New
Orleans in search of runaway lover.

Seene in a Car.

The seats of the car were all occupied
crowded None of our avenue cars ever
yet were full, SO, of course, the house on
wheels stopped for me.
Not wishing to disturb those who were
seated, Twas intending to stand, but agen-
tleman up at the far end arose and insisted
upon my taking his seat. Being very tired,
I thanked him and obeyed.
Presently a lady much younger, mnch
prettier, and much better dressed than
myself entered the car No less than four
gentlemen arose instantly, offering her a
seat. She smiled sweetly and unaAectedly,
and thanking the gentleman who urged
the nearest seat to her, she seated herself
with peculiar grace of manners
She had one of those faces Raphael was
always painting,--touchingly sweet and
Expressive.
A little after this young beauty had
taken her seat, poor woman looking very
thin and very pale, with that care-worn,
haggard look, that poverty, ana sorrow,
and hard labor always gives. camein. She
might have been one of those poor seam
stresses WHO work like slaves and-starve
! for their labor. She was thin and meanly
clad, and seemed weak and exhausted
She had evidently no sixpenses to throw
away, and came in the car, not to stand but
to rest, while she was helped on in herjour-
ney.
While she was meekly standing for the
moment, none ofthe gentlemen(@) offering
to rise, Raphael's angel, with sweet, re
proving eyes, looked on those who had sc
officiously offered her a seat, and seeing
none of them attempt to move, and just a:
myself was rising to give the poor ole
lady seat she arose and insisted upon the
woman taking her seat.
1t was all the work of but moment, ant
the look Of grateful surprise the old woman
gave her. and the glance of sweet pity tht
beautiful girl bestowed on the woman a
she yielded her seat, and the evident con
sternation of the broadcloth individuals
who were manifestly put to shame, al
were to me irresistibly interesting and in
. structive
One of these same broadcloth wearers
apparently overpowered with confusion
got up andleft the car, and Raphael's an sc
took his vacant seat.-N 7. Day Book.

LIE SUccEss.--I confess that increas-
ing year bring with them an increasing re-
spect for men who do not succeed in life.
as those words are commonly used. Heav-
en- is said to be place for those who
have not succeeded upon earth; and it is
surely true that celestial graces donot best
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of world
y prosperity. Ill success sometimes ar
ises from a superabundance of qualities
in themselves good-from conscience
too sensitive, taste too fastidious, self
| forgetfulness too romantic, modesty too
retiring. will go SO far as to say, with
a living poet, that "the world knows moth
ing Of its greatest men," but there are
forms of greatness or at least off excel
lence, which "die and make no sign;"
there are martyrs that miss the palm, but
not the stake; there arc heroes without
the laurel, and eonquerrors without the
triu mph.- george. s. Hlllard.
SINCERITY OF THE WORCESTER People.
1t is said that the people of Worcester
united to man against the fugitive-slave
law, and it is undoubtedly true that they
sent many hundreds of their strongest
and boldest men to Boston last week to-
aid in the rescue of Anthony Burns It
is likewise true, that on Friday night they
hung in efigy the commissioner and 9TH
ers who had been engaged in duly admin
istering that law. But it is also true that
no colored person, however respectable,
can hire a dwelling place in amy locality
in that city convenient to business, and
considered decent and reputable. What
sort of philanthropy sthat which resorts
to moral violence for the purpose of adding
to the number of our colored population,
and at the same time will allow them no
other abiding places than the sinks of vice
social degradation, and squalid misery?

ALWAYS UppERMosr.-The subject of
dollars and cents is the only thing that
keeps up its interest. Just as if, BY be
coming millionaire, you could eat moro
than three meals day with relish, on
wear more than one suit of clothes at
time. What good, then, is it to hare
heaps of dirty stuff laid up to terrify you
with the failure of banks, and the bursting
of all kinds of dollars and cent bubbles that
spring up. Enough is enough, andal else
IS yexation to the spirit.

A Beautiful Custom.

"A common practice in Paris, which imprcsses

Some years since, we were one of that rush
ing crowd ever pouring up and down Broad
way. When in front of Old St. Paul's, all
eyes were attracted by the appearance Of the
crew of the French war vessel La Belle Poule,
which then visited the United States, under
command of Prince DE Joinvillc. The crew
were in their naval dress uniform, bright and
beautiful, and were sauntering carcessly along
seeing the sights. All at once, they stopped,
formed line, faced inward and uncovered
How exquisitcly touching was the scene when
we discovered in that thoughtless, busy, hurry
ing crowd, a man of foreign birth, evidently
poor and friendless, under whose arm was ten
derby carried a tiny infant coffin, and by his
side the stricken mother. They were in search
of burial for their babe, and were jostled and

stood in silent respect, while the sacred ashes

Great Walking Match.

Yesterday afternoon a great walking match.
for distance of seven miles, came oft over
the Union Course, Long Island. The contest
was between great pedestrian named Searlcs,
who has just arrived from England, and the
celebrated walker Boyd, better known as
"North Star There was large audience to
witness the sport, and great interest was felt
i'll the match. The distance was performed in
one hour, five minutes and nine seconds.
On the last heat Searlcs came into the
Judges stand some fifteen yards ahead of
Boyd, but it was Immediately claimed by the
hackers of Boyd, that Scarles lost the race by
playing 'foul,' in persisting in dog -trot gait,
and not walking square" with heel and toe
to the ground. The Judges stated that Scarles
refused to obey them when ordering him not
to run, and they finally awarded the race in
favor of Boyd, and he received the stakes,
which were $1,000. The hackers on Searlcs
were numerous, and they lost quite heavily on
the result.-N. Y. Times.

John song, which he composed in forty parts,
telling him at the same time that he detied ali
the world to produce person capable of add
ing another part to his composition. Bull de-
sired to be left alone, and to be INDUCED for a
short time with pen and ink. In less than three
hours he added forty parts more to the song.
Upon which the Frenchman was so surprised
that he swore in great ecstacy, he must be eli

Outrage and Murder in Tennessee.
ELIzABErHTOwN, East Tenn. ]

ELIzAsETHTowN, East Tenn, JulyS.
Our town, since yesterday morning has been
the scene OF the most intense excitement, on
accoun: OF the preparation in our midst, and
in open day, of one of the most outrageous
and diabolical murders that ever stained the
records of crime.
Moses w. Nelson, man, if such he may
be called, who has long lived most abandoned
life, stopping at no degree of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
and baked 10y no sense of shame, who has long
outraged the feelings of our citizens by his I'M
blushing contempt Of the restraints of law and
dcccncy on the evening of the Goth, commit
ted violence OH the person of daughter of
MIR. Hamilton, in his store, where she had
come to get a box of matches for which her
father threatened to shoot him, and actually
tried to do so, being drunk at the time But
on the morning of the diabolical act, Haml-
tons brother told Nelson that there was no
more danger; that his brother was unarmed,
and wanted no difficulty; but in the face of
this, Nelson walked through the streets with a
revolver cooked i'll his hand, and took his sta
ton in front of his store. Hamilton being
then In store on the opposite of the street,
Nelson called him, saying he wished to speak
to him. Hamilton told him he was unarmed
and wanted no difficulty, and started over to
speak within about twenty steps, Nelson or
dered him to stop, at the same time raising
his pistol to fire. Mrs. Hamilton, who stood
in her yard, begged him not to fire. Several
men joined with her, and Hamilton began to
walk away, when he fired, the ball striking
the hip bone and passing out in front He is
not dead yet, but it is hardly possible he can
recover.
Nelson was Immediately arrested lie had
on his person two revOlvers and two side pis-
tols-with all of which he was prepared to
fire besides a bowie knife, 13 inches in the
blade.
There is much speculation, even with this
array of facts against him, whether he will be
found guilty of MURDER for he belongs to a
family somewhat aristocratc, ard is in some
degree connected with the highest men in the
State. He is brother to II. A. r. Wilson,
who contested seat in the Senate with Bell
last fall, who is an able lawyer, and will do all
he can to clear him. The whole family always
go heavy armed, sleep with weapons at their
heads, and are very fiery and ungovernable in
their dispositions. His father killed man by
stabb;ny him. Nelson is to be tried fer COM
initial to-day.-Cor. n. Y. Ere. Post.

Proposition for a Railroad Convention


Proposition for a Railroad Convention.
The st. Paul Democrat, of the 18th in
slant, suggests the propriety of holding
general convention of the citizens of Mime
sofa, having for its object the renewal Of the
grant of land for the construction of rail-
road along the route designated in the bill
which was repealed by the last session of
Congress.
This recommendation indicates course
precisely in the line of that pursued by the
people of Minnesota during these last three
or four years. There is no difference of
opinion as to the want The pcople of Min
nesota have already acted in the matter,
with success and bill intending to grant
to the Territory a most munifcent domain
to be used in aiding the construction of the
road desired, passed at the last session but
a clique, bloatcd as well by corruption as
wealth, through the influence of money, and
finding a convenient instrument, if not for
positive action, at least for dastardly mac
ton, in the present delegate to Congress,
after failing to defraud the Territory Of the
land by means Of forgery, took advantage
of the virtuous Indignation of Congress at
their crime, and assisted in procuring the
very repeal which they are now lamenting
The hypocrisy OF this movement, proceed
ing from the same influence which, through
its corruption, has brought upon us our
present calamities, will not fail to be appre-
ciated by the people. We have already ir.
Dictated the course we deem necessary for
the people of this Territory to pursue,
in order at once to relieve Minnesota
from the disgrace brought upon her,
by her agent in Congress, and to Sc
cure favorable action in regard to a grant
hereafter. 1t is by a solemn and formal
reputation of the fraud which was perpe-
trated- of the Schuyler Company, under
whose auspices the crime was committed
and of our delegate who sympathized with
the transaction, by the common belief and
understanding of members of Congress-
When we have shown that we have no aft
lation with, or sympathy for, the fraud it.
self, or those who were concerned in it, we
can ask without blushing for that which
Congress has already manifested DISPOSE
ton to give us.
Upon this basis, and no other, can we pc
tition for another grant, in any hope that it
will be given. To go before the same body
from whom, by the action of our agent,
and the creatures we have chartered into a
corporation, attempts have been made to
steal, and ask for gift, without first wash
ing our hands of the crimes of those who
have misrepresented u.s. involves an extent
Of audacity in impudence to which we have
not yet attained.
We want the Railroad Grant, and the
Railroad after it but we want both through
mode which will not implicate us with
fraud, either tactly or openly.
