DEATH OF MAXIMILIAN.-A correspon-
dent of the S. F. Bulletin, writing from
Queretaro, says: Scarcely year has passed
since the Emperor Maximilian was shot at
Queretaro by virtue of law which Congress
has declared unconstitutional No European
power has avenged his death, but the Mexi-
cans themselves have pronounced their anath-
ema over the bloody decd The whole coun-
try is cursed; its nationality is a phantom,
and the shadow of death is covering these
blood. stained fields, where all honorable ele-
ments have to hide themselves. On the 18th
ult., solemn service was held here and in
other parts of the country to address prayers
to the Almighty for the soul of Maximilian.
Almost every every lady in the Republic
was dressed in mourning; however, the au-
thorities do not like this kind of demoustra.
tion, aud am told that several chapels have
been closed by military force where those
services were held"

SwELLINGs IN HORSES FEET-If the
swelling is accompanied with great heat and
tension of the parts, and more particularly
by cracked heels, then mild aperients and
fermentation are good beginning; but where
any facidity exists, stimulants and tonics
we have found the sovereign remedy. Take
of powdered sulphate of iron, one ounce and
a half; powdered gentian root, two ounces
nitrate of potassa, one ounce; mix and di>
vide into twelve powders, and give one night
and morning, mixed with cut or soft feed. ;,
with no more water in the feed than will
keep the particles together. Feed the ami
NAL generously and well, and give little
exercise daily.-Prdirie Farmer.

GRASS.

Out in the fields to walk,
Hearing the grasses talk,
In the sweet month of June
These are the words they say,
As in low whispers they
Speak through the silence of noon:
Suubeams, come lie on me;
Rain, here is room for thee;
Clouds, here your shadows may rest
Wind, you may rustic through
Cold, here is food for you;
Horse, come roll on my breast.
Ground bird, come here and see
How you can nest with me
Child, run about me ard play;
Strong man, with cheek so brown,
Here come and cut me down,
Toss me and turn me to hay.
Fill high the farmers loft
Then go and gather oft
Fodder for cattle at night;
Take all you need of me
I'll not live selfshly,
Nor for my own delight.
Grasshopper, butterfly,
Bees, that with 'honeyed thigh
Ever on busy wing rove;
Born of enc parent, we,
All of one family,
Linked to each other in love.
Golden>hued buttercup,
Over me glancing up,
By the light summer breeze wooed,
You, too, shall share with me
This happy destiny
Born to be useful and good.
So shall the early Spring
Life to our bosoms bring,
Eerdure and beauty restore;
Then, taking heed of us,
All who have need of us,
Welcome shall be as before"

ETIQUETTE OF INTRoDUCTIoN.-T arc
many persons, says an exchange, who would
do almost anything rather than to introduce
persons to each other Many are so embar.
raSsed in the attempt as to suddenly forget
the name of one or the other parties, and
oftentimes of both. There are certain rules
of etiquette in regard to introduction which.
if studied, would lessen in a great degree the
embarrassment consequent upon the perform.
ance of the ceremony. To introduce persons
unknown to each other is to undertake
serious responsibility, and always involves
the Endorsement to each of the other. This
responsibility should never be undertaken
without first ascertaining whether it will be
acceptable to both parties to become ac>
quainted witt each other. Always introduce
the gentleman to the lady-never the con-
trary This rule is TO be observed every>
where, socially or otherwise. The chivalry
of etiquette assumes that the lady is invaria-
bly, the superior by the right of her sex, and
that the gentleman is hOnored by being pre-
sented. Where the sexes are the same, pre-
sent the younger to the elder the unmarried
to the married, or the inferior in social rank
or talent to the superior. A gentleman
should never be introduced to lady without
first asking her permission.

How THE FRENCH RAISE TOMATOES
The best gardeners in France are in the
habit of cutting off the stem of the tomato
nlapts down to the first cluster of flowers.
This impels the sap into the two buds next
below the cluster, which soon push strongly,
and produce another cluster of flowers each.
When these are visible, the branch to which
they belong is also topped down to their
level and this is done five times success
lively. By this meaus the plants become stout
dwarf bushes, not over eighteen inches high.
Iu order to prevent them from falling over
sticks or strings are stretched horizontally
along the rows, so as to keep the plants erect.
Tn addition to this, all the laterals that have
no flowers, and after the fifth topping, all
laterals whatsoever are nipped of. In this
way the ripe sap is directed into the fruit,
which acquires beauty, size and excellence
uuattainable BY other means.

Suspended Animation.


One Of the most remarkable cases that We
have ever been called upon TO chronicle has
lately come under our notice, aud we propose
to lay the facts before the public exactly as
they are. On Lorain street, above jersey,
there resides with her step-father a young
lady, Miss Ellen K. White, who is probably
between seventeen and eighteen years of age,
very prepossessing in her manner, and very
finely educated. About six weeks ago she
was taken dangerously i'll with what the
family physician pronounced typhoid fever,
and for some days was so low that all hopes
Of her recovery were given up. She rallied,
however, and, under careful nursing and
skillful treatment, she was in fair was to
recover, when, about two weeks ago, she
had a relapse, and sank rapidly, until the
breath seemed to leave her body, and she
was pronounced a corpse Her body was
prepared for the grave, and preparations
were made by her bereaved parents and
friends for the funeral, when her mother,
who could not be made to realize the fact
that her only daughter was dead to her for
ever, noticed that though the limbs of her
daughter were rigid, yet the body retained
its warmth. Physicians were called, but
they decided that she was dead, and every
attempt to resuscitate her failing, it was
determined, last Sunday, to consign her to
the grave, and a coffin was procured On
Saturday, while one of the neighbors and her
mother we're standing by the side of the
supposed CORPSE, the door, which had been
left open, blew shut with loud noise, which
had the effect of so acting upon the girl as
to bring her to and set her life blood in mo.
tiOn. She sprang up in bed, and, throwing
her arms around her mothers neck, wept
tears, ,'of joy over her escape from the horrid
death of being buried alive Miss White
said that when she felt herself sinking she
had no fear of death, but turned upon her
side, and as she did so all pain disappeared
and she sank to sleep as peacefully as a child.
She lay, she thinks unconscious for an hour
or more. for when she came to herself, though
she could not move or speak, she found that
she was laid out ready for burial, She could
see her mother by her side, and all those who
came to see her; could hear them talk, and
understand all they said She tried to speak
but her tongue refused to do its Office; she
tried to move, but could not and there she
lay, blessing her mother for her refusal to
allow her to be buried. Upon two occasions,
when her mother was alone in the room with
her, it seemed as though she left the body,
and standing by the side OF her body, could
look down upon it as she could upon her
mother. She said she was unable to describe
the feelings that she experienced upon those
occasions. When not tortured with the
fear of being buried alive, she was perfectly
at rest, perfectly happy, and when the door
slammed, which brought her to, it seemed
as though she was, to use her own words,
+" compelled to commence hard day work.
Miss White is now in fair way to recover
Her strength is gaining rapidly, and from
every indication, we should judge she had
a long life before her Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

How TO TREAT WEEDY CoRN.-A cor
respondent of the Western Rural writes
Last Saturday passed corn field of some
forty acres, where the weeds were in many
cases higher than the corn plants. The
owner, a very peaceable and industrious cit>
izen, who had lived on that farm nearly
thirty years, and his invalid SOD, we're max
ing special efforts to subdue some of the
weeds, but they had SO much the start of the
corn that suggested to him unless be resor-
ted to more direct manipulation be could
not reasonably expect to receive on the forty
acres fifty bushels of sound corn, even should
no killing frosts fall on his field till October.
10 his great perplexity with the present
prices of labor, he thought it not best to
hire hands to hoe his corn. 1 then urged
him to select one-f fourth of the best part and
be sure to get the weeds out of the hills.
And as the bills were some three feet and
a>half apart, to suffer no more than two corn
plants to remain in the hills, as the only
sure method to bring forward any part Of
bis crop, so as to have it safe from the frosts
which might arrive by the time of the au-
tumnal equinox, and cut up the remaining
three-fourths with a mower in time to make
very good fodder for his stock. As some
Others have corn fields abounding with weeds,
l ask you to present those suggestions to
your readers, as the best remedy for those
unfortunate ones who may find themselves
in similar fix to the pioneer referred to
above.

How TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS The
wide awake, bard working men are the most
successful business men Of our large cities.
Neither wealth nor honorable positions can
be picked up in the streets like lost money.
They must be obtained by steady, uncompro-
missing labor. The New York correspondent
Of the Boston Journal shows how a young
man Of that city worked and persevered un-
til he became cashier of Of the bank where
he was first employed as an errand boy: The
cashier Of one Of our leading banks resigned
some time since, and the paying teller was
Immediately elected to Gil his place. He
was quite young man, and was promoted
over the heads of those who had been in the
bank many years in subordinate positions.
The secret of the promotion is well worth
knowing He entered the bank when quite
young. He resolved to make himself useful
Living farthest away-some miles out of the
city-he was the first at his post inthe morn
ing. Having the farthest to 60 he was the
last to leave. He never was afraid to work,
and never hesitated to lend hand when his
own duties we're done. Others would 90 out
10 restaurants and hotels for their lnnch.
He brought his with him and ate it in little
closet. For his own pleasures he never left
the bank during business hours. If any of
the clerks wanled to 60 away he was always
ready to take their place. He could always
be found and was prompt at any call. His
spare time was devoted to an intelligent study
of his business. As paying teller he was
very popular He was never snappish or
uneentlemaDly. Growing, grumblng, un-
reasonable customers could not irritate him.
He overstayed his time to accommodate men
who were belated with their checks. As
cashier, be is the same genial agreeable,
prompt officer that he was in subordinate
life. Men disappointed in their discounts
take refusal from the cashier with better
spirit than they do an accommodation from
some men. He still keeps up his habits Of
close attention to business, and takes his
frugal lunch in his closet, as he did when
struggling for position Those who fail in
life, or are desiring success, had better look
at this incident and copy the example.

AN ARTEsIAN WELL IN THE DESERT
The Central Pacific Railroad Company are
boring an artesian well near Maag's Station,
and about mile west of the Hot Springs
The water from the Springs, and in fact all
the water that has yet been found in that
vicinity, is so strongly impregnated with
minerals of various kinds-sul phur, salt, and
alkaies predominating - as to be unfit for
drinking. The object of the company is to
sink to sufficient depth to procure pure end
sweet water. At the depth of few feet the
borers have struck water, but it is the same
as that found on the surface, and the boring
will be continued till pure water is found, or
an impraclicable depth is attained. Some of
the men who were mining in that vicinity,
in 1864, declare that the company are much
more likely to strike hell than fresh water
by boring anywhere near the Hot Springs
They tell curious stories of the eccentrieilies
displayed by the springs during the three
months they were encamped in the vicinity.
One night they were startled by loud exN
plosion, and looking toward the springs was
a sheet of fame thirty or forty feet in height,
dancing about over the principal spring; the
fame disappeared entirely in few seconds,
but an eruption of hot wafer, steam and mud
ensued that lasted nearly two days. The
men Who saw these things think the railroad
company will be apt to run their auger into
something disagreeable when they get down
few hundred feet-hot water, fire or some
thing else savoring of the lower regions

Soil FoR BARLEY-The soil for barley
should be rich, but lighter and sander than
is required for wheat. The seed should be
deposited while the ground is fresh and
moist, after being titled, so that it may vegeS
tate soon and the plants have time to braird'
or spread out and cover the ground before
the heat Of the sun takes effect upon it. The
effect of soil upon barley is well known On
heavy clay land the acreable produce is some-
times much greater than on light soils, but
the gain is coarse, dark-colored and uusuited
for mailing.

TELL Your MoTHER-I wonder how
many young ladies tell their mother every
thing. Not those +" young ladies who,
going to and from school, smile, bow, and
exchange notes and carteS de visite with
young men who make fun of them and their
pictures, speaking in a way that would make
their cheeks burn with shame if they heard
it. All this, most credulous, lovely and
romantic young ladies', they will do although
they gaze at your fresh young faces admir-
ingly and send or give you charming verses
and bouquets. No matter what " other
girls do" don't you do it. Schoolgirl flirt-
ations may end disastrously, as many fool
ish, wretched young girl could tell you.
Your yearning for some one to love is great
need of every woman's heart. But there is
time for everything. Don't let the bloom
and freshness of your heart be washed off in
silly firtations. Render yourself truly in.
telhgent. And, above all, tell your mother
everything. Never be ashamed to tell her,
who should be your best friend and conf
dant, all you think and feel. 1t is very
strange that so many young girls will tell
every person before mother" that which
is most important that she should know. 1t
is very sad that Indifferent persons should
know more about her own fair daughters
than she does herself-Fdnny Fern.
