HOUSE FLIES.

The fly season is about coming In,
and it is time to think of making fly
brushes. Flies are quite a pest, and ali
families who have much cooking to do
must have more or less. dislike the
idea of poisoning flies, and having them
constantly dropping dead upon 9 clean
ly swept floor, and into the eatablcs.
j think if we cannot get rid of them
any other way we had better keep them
/ consider them the most troublesome
in the Fall, but if we leave the windows
open the first frosty nights we can, by
sweeping them down and committing
them to the fire, we become almost rid
of them in a few days, where otherwise
they would remain several months.
These little tormentors are always
ready to get the first of everything that
comes upon the table, and for this rea-
son we should be always prepared with
fly scares. ] think the best for that pur-
pose are the old-fashloned paper ones.
Peafowl feathers are pretty but not good.
1t always seems like wasting time to 60
out and hunt a brush every meal, as
some cooks do; it womld take much
less time to make a neat paper one. Any
man can make stick to fasten the pa
per on; but what makes nice one Is
an old parasol handle. Take either q
newspaper, or red, white, and blue It's
sue paper. After you have cut it in
strips about half an inch wide, take q
dull knife and curl each strip by taking
the paper slanting between your knife
and scrape it or crimp them at the ends.

DANIEL WERsTER AsD gENNY LIND.


Jenny Lind gave concert at Wash
ington during the session of Congress,
and. with view TO eclot. sent polite in
yitations to the President. Mr.. Fillmore.
the members of the Cabinet. Mr.. Clay.
and many other distinguished members
of both houses of Congress. 1t hap
pencd that on that day several of the
members of the Cabinet and Senate
were dining with Mr.. Bodisco. the Rus
sian Minister. His good dinner and
choice wines had keptthe party SO late
that the concert was nearly over when
Webster, Clay, CritteIrden and others
came in. Whether from the hurry In
which they came or from the heat of the
room, their faces were 8 little flushed.
and they all looked somewhat Hurried.
After the applause with which these
gentlemen had been reeeiyid had subsi-
ded, and silence once more restored, the
second part of the concert was opened
by Jenny Lind, with '.Hail Columbia
This took place during the height of
the debate and excitement of the slavery
question, and the compromise resolu-
ton Of Mr.. Clay; and this patriotic air,
as part of the programme, was consid-
cred peculiarly appropriate at a concert.
where the head of the Government, and
a large number of both branches of the
lcSlSidt1FG were PEcSSllt.
AT the close of the first verse, Webster's
patriotism boiled over; he could stand
it no longer; and raising, like the Oh
ympian JoYe, he added his deep, sonor-
Gus, bass voice, to the chorus and i
venture to say, that never, in the whole
cousre of her career, did she hear or re-
ceive one-half such applause as that
with which her song and AYebster's cho-
rus was greeted.
Mrs. Webster, who sat immediately
behind him, kept Juggling at his coat-tail
to make him sit down or stop singing :;
but it was of no earthly use, and at the
close of each verse Webster Joined in,
and it was hard to say whether Jenny
Lind, Webster, or the audience, Were
most delighted. / have seen Rabini,
Lablachc aud the two Crisis on the stage
at one time, but such q happy combina-
ton in the national air of Hail Column
bia," as Jenny Lind's tenor and Daniel
Webster's base, we shall never see or
hear again.
AT the close Of the air, Mr.. Webster
arose with his hat IN his hand, and made
her such q bow as Chesterfield would
have deemed fortune for his son, and
which eclipse D'Orsay's best. Jenny
Lind, blushing at the distinguished hon
or, courteside to the floor the audience
applauded to the very echo; Webster
determined not to be outdone in polite
ness, bowed again: Miss Lind re-courte-
sled, the house re-applauded, and this
was repeated eight or nine times or Il IN
a villain else."-S Southern Society.

TIMBER CULTURE Of The pRArRrEs.

At meeting Of the Grand Prziris
Illineis) horticultural Society, the salss
jcct of forest tree culture was brouzI.s
forward as one that demanded the mast
careful consideration. The fellowia ing
list Of deciduous trees were recommends
ed for timber purposes
Black walnut; American white ash:
yellow cottonwood; white elm, Euro-
pean larch honey locust; soft maple;
white oak; burr oak Usage orange
white willow tulip or white wood.
Mr. Mekinstry wished to knew
whether the white ash was the same as
the red ash or the g American SYLVIA
Mr.. Dunlap said it was, but that the
blue ash flourished on all our river bot
toms. Mr.. Pearson asked whether or
not the thornless locust was the same as
the honey locust. Mr.. Mann thought it
was, as he had frequently known Usage
orange plants without thorns. Mr.. Dun
lap decided the matter definitely by
stating that the seedlings from q noble
old honey locust tree, ON Fort Dearborn,
Chicago, which was very spiked, eamc
up in his nursery, some smooth. others
spiked. He also called attention to the
difference existing between the white
and yellow cottonwo God. and how the
latter will split well, and can be obtain
ed along the Mississippi bottoms. The
tulip tree had been found rather tender
by some, and Mr.. Dunlap would not
recommend it bat withdrew his opin-
ion, on the statement of Mr.. Mann that
it should be grown in seedbeds, and not
taken from the woods.
EvERGREENs.-The following list OF
evergreens was recommended, and
adopted:
For Belts and Screens Norway
spruce American arbor vita, cedar,
hemlock, and Scotch pine.
For general culture-The white pine.
For Commercial usc-American pine !;
Scotch pine; Siberian arbor vitR; Nor
way spruce; balsam fir; Norway pine,
and red cedar.
