A Story WITH A MoRAL.-A Connec-
ticut exchange tells the following story of
boy who was sent from Croton, Conn,
to New London one day last summer,
with bag of green corn. The boy was
gone all day, and returned with the bag
unopened, which he dumped on the floor,
saying:
"There is your corn; go and sell it. I
can't"
"Sold any?"
No; I've been all over London with
it, and nobody said anything concerning
green corn. Two or three fellows asked
ne what had in my bag, and told them
it was none of their business what it was !"
The boy is not unlike hundred of mer-
chants who will promptly call him fool
for not telling what he had to sell. They
are actually doing the same thing on
much larger scale than did that boy, by not
advertising their business.

The TRIBUNE EDITOR AND HIS FAM
nY.-Horace Greeley was married more
than a quarter of century ago, to a
pretty New England woman who was
teaching in North Carolina, where he ac-
cidentally encountered her on his travels.
He has been the father Of three children,
two girls and a boy, the latter of whom
was particularly bright and gave extraor-
binary promise, but died in early child
hood leaving vacancy in his doting pa
rents heart that has never been filled. He
had formed the brightest hope of his boy,
and under the bereavement his philosophy
gave way completely. His two daughters
Gabrielle and Ida, aged respectively eight
and eighteen, are clever and interesting,
bat eccentric aud self-willed. They are
at present pupils at the convent near the
city; the eldest has nearly finished her
education.
Mr.. Greeley's house is at Chat aqua,
thirty-slx miles from the city, on the Har-
lem railway, where he has fancy
farm of hundred acres, upon which he
has spent most of the money be has earned
for the past fifteen years.

Fred Douglas and his Brother.


The most inveterate negro hater cannot
deny to Fred Douglas, the colored orator,
something more than smartness: he has
not only talent, but true nobility of char
acter. We see touch of this in the fol-
lowing, from private letter to Theodore

marked by the hardships and sorrows of
that hateful condition, and after separa-

of six, and took up his abode with me.

A Singular Community.

Four miles from Oneida, New York, a
class calling themselves Christian Perfec-
tionists, twenty years ago organized COM
munity. 1t numbers about two hundred
and fifty twenty fire are under fourteen
years Of age. Property and persons are
held in common. No one Of himself owns
anything. They commenced poor, now
they are rich. The location is the most
beautiful III the land. 1t embraces six
hundred acres in the choice Oneida VAL
ley. The grounds are finely laid out.
The principal residence is brick, three
stories high. Besides the central mansion
there are Eve large buildings. One is used
for generel dining hall, and others for
canning fruit and various industries. They
have invented much valuable machinery.
All eat in one large hall, at many tables.
They provide neither tea nor coffee, and
seldom meat. Vegetables, fruits, milk,
butter, cheese, cakes, puddings and pies
are abundant. They have fine library
ana take the newspapers
Their religious faith is peculiar. They
claim to be the successors of the Apostles,
to whom was promised the speedy second
advent Of Christ. They say that Christ
did reappear after the destruction Of Jeru-
salem, whom there was judgment in the

Scenes ut the Dog Pound In New
York.

Daily, as the clock strikes four, the
dogs are executed. Up till that time, any
hapless dog who may have been captured
may be reclaimed by its owner, if he OF
she feel disposed on the payment of two
dollars. 1t is melancholy fact, however
that few dogs are thus relieved from the
necessity of closing their earthly career
only ninety having been reclaimed during
the season just ended. 1t is creditable TO
the fairer sex, it may be said in this con-
nection, that most Of the animals reclaimed
have been redeemed by the ladies. The
manner Of the execution is as follows
The tank is gradually filled with water
through the aid Of the hose, and " fixed"
This tank, as before remarked, is very in.
geniously constructed, and is so arranged
that either a small or large number Of
dogs can be dispatched with the utmost
expedition. 1t is plain, square structure
with two wooden covers made somew hat
like lattice work. If there are but few
dogs to receive their quietus the lower
cover is used; if the number be great the
whole of the tank is filed, the lower cover
taken out, and the one which fits on level
with the top of the tank brought into re-
QUESTION. The dogs are all thrust in pell
nell, very little trouble being experienced
in getting them into the water, as they
are happily oblivious of their impending
fate. The manner in which really mad
dogs are treated is some What curious. The
officiating dog destroyer manages to throw
rope around the neck of the animal,
without getting dangerously near him, thus
initiating the great lasso trick practiced in
South America. The rope attaching the
dog to the barrier is then severed, and by
dexterous twitch the rabid beast is
hoisted into the water. During the Frog
ress Of the execution the building becomes
a noisy pandemonium. Yelps, growls,
barks, and canine cries and vociferations
of every description re-echo through its
depopulated precincts. The dogs gene.
rally, as is very natural, die very hard, and
some Of them exhibit great tenacity of life
but all is over in ten minutes at the out
side. As soon as it is satisfactorily ascer
tanned that the dogs are dead, the water
in the tank is let out by means of an ap.
erture in the bottom of it, and the dog
are handed over to a certain gentleman
who contracts to carry them away. Wha
becomes of them used at one time to be {
fearful mystery, but the officials now know
all about it. The dogs are skinned ant
then broken into pieces" as they say o
played out and used up vessels, and the
results utilized in numerous ways. Leath
er and glue are among the proceeds thu
obtained.

HINTS ON PIcKLINa.-Never use brass
copper or bell metal kettles for picking
because verdigris produced in them by the
vinegar is very poisonous. Kettles lined
with porcelain are the best, and If you
cannot procure them, block tin may be
substituted; iron is apt to discolor any
acid that Is boiled in it. Vinegar for pick
les should always be of the best cider
kind. In putting away pickles use stone
or glass jars. THE lead which is an ingre-
dent in the glazing of common earthern
ware, is rendered very pernicious by the
action of the vinegar. Have a large
wooden spoon and fork for the express
purpose Of taking pickles out of the jar
when you want them for the table; see
that while in the jar they are always COW
cred with vinegar. Ifyou discern in them
any symptoms of not keeping well, do them
over again in fresh vinegar and spice.
The jars should be stopped with large
fiat corks, fitting closely, and having
leather or round piece ofoil-cloth tied over
the cork. I, is good rule to have the
jar filed with vinegar. Alum is very use
full in extracting salt from pickles. and in
making them firm and crisp; very small
quantity is suflicient-too much will spoil
them. In greening pickles, keep them
closely covered, so that none of the steam
may escape, as its retention promotes
their greenness, and prevents the favor
from evapdrating. Vinegar and spice fol
pickles should be boiled but few minutes,
too much boiling takes away the strength.

Twelve Ways Of Committing Sui
eide.

A medical contemporary thus enumerates
the fashionable modes of doing it:
l. Wearing of thin shoes and cotton
stockings on damp nights, and in cool,
rainy weather. Wearing insufficient
clothing, especially on the limbs and ex-
tremities.
2. Leading life of enfeebling, stupid
laziness and keeping the mind in an un-
natural state of excitement by reading
trashy novels. Going TO theatres, parties
and balls in all sorts of weather in the
thinnest possible dress. Dancing till in
complete perspiration, and then going
home without sufficient over-garments,
through the COOL damp night air.
3. Sleeping on feather beds in seven by
nine bedrooms without ventilation at the
top of the windows, and especially with
two or more persons in the same small,
unventilated bed room.
4. Surfeiting on hot and very stimu-
lating dinners. Eating in hurry with
out half masticating your food, and eating
heartily before going to bed when the
mind and body are exhausted by the tolls
of the day and the excitement of the eve-
ming.
5. Beginning in childhood on tea and
coffee. and going from one step to another
through chewing and smoking tobacco, and
drinking intoxicating liquors; by personal
abuse, and physical and mental excuses
of other descriptions.
6. Marrying in haste and getting an
uncongenial companion, and living the re-
mainder of life in mental dissatisfaction
cultivating jealousies and domestic broils
and getting always in mental torment.
z. Keeping children quiet by giving
paregoric and cordals, and teaching them
to suck candy, and supplying them with
nuts and rich cake ) when they are sick
by giving them mercury, tartar emetic,
and arsenic, under the mistaken notion
that they are medicines and not irritant
poisons.
8. Allowing the love of gain to absorb
our minds, so as to leave no time to attend
TO our health following an unhealthy oc.
cupation because money can be made by it.
8. Tempting the appetite with bitters
and niceties when the stomach says No,
and by forcing food to it when nature does
not demand, and even rejects it; german
dizing between meals.
10. Contriving to keep in a continual
worry about something or nothing giving
way to fits of anger.
4 IL. Being irregular in all our habits
of eating and sleeping; eating too much,
too many kinds of food, and that which
is too highly seasoned.
IL. Neglecting to take proper care of
ourselves, and not apply early for medical
advice when disease appears; taking cele-
brated quack medicines to the degree of
making drug shop of the body.
4 The above causes produce more sick
ness, suffering and death than all epidem-
les, malaria, and contagion, combined with
war, pestilence and famine. Nearly all
who have attained old age have been re-
markable for equanimity of temper, cor
rect habits Of diet, drink and rest, for
temperance, cheerfulness and morality.
Physical punishment is sure to visit ethe
transgressor of natures laws.
, All commit suicide and cut off many
years Of their natural life who do not OBJ
, serve the means of preventing disease and
of preserving health.

have seen many great butter cows, of Dur

large animals, requiring the best of food,

butter per week, and continue to do so for

good farmers. To raise heifer calf is
not much trouble or expense on a butter
dairy farm, as skim milk is plenty. Our
method is-after four days take it from the
mother; then for the first month give it
either all pure milk as it comes from the
mother, or mix with part Of skinned
milk, and ct the end of that time give it
twice day as much skinned milk as it
will drink, with little dry meal to lick.
Continue this as long as you see proper,
the longer the better,-say six to nine
months. The skim-milk costs nothing,
and has the greatest effect on the calf.
