parties exhibiting the greatest determination
Fifteen minutes elapsed before the mistake was
discovered.
The firing in this skirmish was the frst
warning Davis received. The captors report
that he bastily put on one of his wifes dresses
and started for the woods, closely followed
by our men, who at first thought him woman
but seeing his boots while running, suspected
his sex at once. The race was short one, and
the rebel President was soon brought to bay.
He brandlshed a bowie knife OF elegant
pattern, and showed signs Of battle; but
yielded promptly to the persuasion OF the
Colts reyolvers, without compelling the
men to fire. He expressed great indgnity
at the energy with which he was pursued,
saying that he had believed our Government
more magnanimous than to hunt down women
and children. Mrs. Davis remarked to Colonel
Harden. after the excitement was over, that,
"The men had better not provoke the Presi-
dent, or he might hurt some OF 'em."
Regan behaved himself with becoming dig.
nifty and resignation.
The party were evidently making for the
coast. ]. H. WILSON,

Cucumbers.s

A correspondent of the Rural Nsac
Yorker, A. j. W., gives the following di-
rec,ion for raising cucumbers
Take tight barrel with one head, make
eight or ten holes, say three quarters of an
inch, at the bulge of the barrel with a
small. bit--and sink the barrel in the
ground level with the surface of the ground
Then fill up the barrel with stones as
high as the holes and put on about four
inches of straw then fill up the balance
with good, rich loan, and ill the barrel
with water, and plenty of seed so that you
can thin them out to six or eight stalks.
Incase of drouth, put pail of water in the
barrel about once week. | raised of
three barrels, planted in this way, over
four barrels Of pickles, and if they are
we'll watered through the bearing season
they will bear until the frost kills the vines.
One needs scaffold to let the vines run
on; say take four poles, ten feet long, and
set them about four feet apart, with one
end on the ground, and raise the other
some five feet above the ground with pie
ces of lath or brush laid across, and in
sure you that you will have no crooked
cucumbers.

Gigantic Vegetables in California.

Cabbages weighing Is pounds are won-
ders in the New York market; in San
Francisco they are common. Whole
fields ofcabbage heads weighing 90 pounds
each have been grown; and hard, solid
heads, with no loose leaves, weighing 81
pounds each, are on record. One cab
bage, which did not make head, grew to
be z feet wide, throwing out leaves 81 feet
long on each side. In many cases the
cabbage has been converted into peren-
NAL, evergreen, tree-like plant, by prevent
ing it from ever going to seed. Several
Of these are growing i'll the State, with
stalks from 2 TO = feet high, and foliage
that grows through winter and summer.
In 1857, one squash vine on the ranch OF
James Simmons, in. Yuba county, pro-
duced 100 squashes, weighing in all 1904
pounds. In the same year J. Q. A. Bal
lou, at San Jose, grew 2 squashes weigh
ing 80 and 204 pounds respectively
The largest California onion weighed az
ounces avoirdupois, ana measured %
inches in circumference; The largest red
beet weighed l8 pounds, was s feet long
and foot in diameter 1t was three years
old. The first year it grew to weigh 4S
pounds, and because of its large size was
reserved for seed; but it disappointed its
owner, and, instead Of producing seed the
next year, merely kept on growing and
reached the size of Sc pounds, and the
following year got to llS. Such beets
can be grown in abundance. A beet of
80 pounds is wonder in New York in
California it is too common to attract more
than glance, Beets are frequently 3 feet
long, so that it requires no little trouble to
dig them out.-California Farmer.

To Boil SALT CoDFIsH.-IfI am 60
ing to have boiled Goldfish for dinner to-
morrow, cut the fish into pieces the size
of playing-card, and put it to soak in a
liberal supply of water tonight. In the
morning early change the water and let
the material continue to soak until break.
fast is out of the way, when it is laid out
on sieve, or something that will afford
free drainage, and left until it is time to
prepare for cooking. Then every. particle
of skin, the fins, and all bones, are re-
moved, the fish picked fine, put into a
tin saucepan or porcelain-lined kettle, and
cooked about forty minutes in water, kept
constantly just below the boiling point
Served with any of the sauces suitable
for fish, and eaten with potatoes, mealy
and well boiled, | have an idea that very
few will pronounce Goldfish so prepared
delestable.
