Jenny Ltnd's Rebu1xe of a stupid old
Duke.


Jenny Limbs Rebulxe of a stupid old
Duke.
The Philadelphia Press tells the following
story of Queen Victoria's uncles;
The late Duke of Cambrdge-thed dinner
eating Duke-was a constant and fragrant
offender in his way. He had very little
taste for music, and had box at the opera
because it was the fashion. a great man
was he for presiding at public dinners, at
which he would eat as much as five and
drink as much as ten ordinary people
Leaving the table full of beef and flushed
but scarcely hurried, by an enormous guam
tity of wine, this Royal Duke-uncle to
Queen Victoria--would drive TO the opera,
probably arriving during the last scene, and,
wholly regardless of the performers would
call out to his friends across the house
" Alb, Devonshire, glad to see you," or,
Cardigan, | shall breakfast with you to-
morrow" and so on. Being Royal
Highness," he was actually tolerated. One
night, when Jenny Lind was performing
the role of g Amina,' in La SonRdabuta,
the old portIy Duke went on in this manner.
Disturbed by his talk, the vocalist suddenly
paused, and. the Queen, who was present,
stretched Il little out OF her box to ascertain
the cause.
Jenny LIND simply looked al the Duke
box, and the Queen, turning round, follow
ed her look, and saw the culprit, who was
speaking loudly to some person in the
neigbboring box. The eyes of all the audi
ence were directed at once to the Duke Of
Cambridge, who certainly then became
fully aware that he was "spOtted by
several hundred persons. He continued
talking, however, it 10 brave it ont. A
gentleman in the pit jumped up on his seat,
aud in ii loud voice aud an earnest manner
cried out:
Who disturbes the audience Who
but that old man with IA star upon his
breast? Do we pay him forty thousand
pounds year to annoy the public in the
opera house? Three groans for the Duke
! of Cambridge + The call was unanimous
~ complied with, every eye being fixed on
the portly prince, and, at last, he sneaked
ont of his box, followed by his wife and
daughter, and not until then did Jenny
Lind resume her singing. 1t said that the
Qneen was greatly annoyed with her uncle 5
rudeness and told him So 1t is certain that
ever after he avoided going TO the opera,
and behaved very well when compelled to
| attend.

HAVEN akinG.

As the season for making hay is ap-
preaching, we will give few words of
caution in advance. Don't dTg your han
roo much. Hay may be dried till il Is as
worthless as straw. ASS good coffee maker
would say, Don't burn your coffee but
brown it; SO we say, don't dry your hay
but cure it, Our good old mothers, whn
relied upon herb tea instead of "'potecary
medicine, gathered their herbs when in
blossom, and cured them in the shade.
This is the philosophy of making good
hay. Cut in the blossom, and cure in the
shade. The sugar of the plant when it is
in bloom, is in the stalk ready 10 form the
seeds. If the plant is cut earlier the sugar
ia not there; ii later, the sugar has become
converted to woody matter.
Hay should be well wilted in the sun, but
cured la the cock Better he II little too
green than too dry. If, on puttng it into
the barn, there is danger Of % heating in The
NOV. put on some salt. Cattle will like it
none the less.
Heat. light, and dry winds will soon
take the starch and sugar which constitute
the goodness of hay, out of it and, with
the addition of a shower, render it almost
worthless. Grass cured with the least cx-
posnre to the drying winds and searching
sunshine, is more nutritious than if longer
exposed, however good the weather may
be. II ever cared it contains more woody
hber and less nutritive matter.
The true art of hay making, then. consists
in cutting the grass when ihe starch and
sugar aFe most fully developed, and before
lhey are converted into seed and woody f.
her; and curing it up to the point when it
will answer to put it in the barn without
heating, and no more Ohio Farmer

DISTRESS AND STARVATION IN IRELAND

DISTRESS AND STARVATION IN IRELAND
We were astOnished to read in the Cork
Examiner of the 10th ult., such doleful ac-
counts of distress in some portions of Ire
land, scarcely less terrible than the famine
which spread such desolatiou in l847 and
lS48. One extract reads that, of a popula
ton of 20, 900 inhabitants in the barony of
Erris a large number are suffering from the
local failure of one potato crop, the destruc-
ton Of the grain crop, the severity of the
winter, sthe loss of cattle, and the absence
of means to purchase food, so much so that
it is feared that the pangs of hunger are
felt by some, while hundreds are inaugural
ing the exodus, which will end in the ex-
patriation of vast population of the abort
gines who have enough left to pay for their
deportation to another cline. That all
these facts have been we'll known to the
people of Erris for some time past is evil
dent by the disclosures which have taken
place at the public meeting held i'll Belmul-
let.
Mr.. K. Edwards, of the Coast Guard In
spector's office, writing to Sir James Dom
brain, Knight, from Dunkeehan, April 9,
says:
l need not tell you thaG the inhabitants
of the villages along the coast and noun
tain ranges-Port Turlin, Portacloy, Car
rowtigur killgalligin. and Stonefeld-
principally depend for subsistence on the
precarious fisheries, and are, therefore, often
in want of the necessaries of life, particu-
larly when storms are frequent, as has been
the case the past winter. | have now
with sadness to add that the potatoes have
failed, and their oats and rye were blown
lite rally out Of the ground, Sc much so
that there was neither potatoe, corn, straw,
or hay left in the country at Christmas
The result is that almost all the cows sheep
and pigs have persisted of hunger on the
mountains, and the few remaining are mere
shadows, and can scarcely totter along, and
God only knows what will become of the
people. They are half fed-most of them
have little money yet spared, but it will
soon get into the hands of the unprincipled
dealers, who are charging 81 Is bag for
yellow Indian meal. This state of things
must continue four months longer, unless
you, sir, or some other generous, charitable
person or body will endeavor to ameliorate
it by sending a cargo of Indian meal. |
would give it storage, allow any man to
dispose OF 1t, and superinIend it myself. II
there are any funds left from the famine
years, / implore that you will do your ut
most to procure us some assistance.
These are bat few of many complaints
which the officials and benevolent are max
ing of the wretched condition of the moor
classes.
