The Great New York Fire In 1885.

We clip from the columns of the PbiLd-
ddphia UndvNriter an interesting incl
dent in the earlier experiences of the 1Et-
ia insurance Company, of Hartford,
Conn, showing the value, as we'll as the
reward, which attaches to faithful filfll-
ment of obligations, at time VIII, Ierve
was requisite, and individual s.rr,tice
probable.
After the great fire of 1855 tie Lima, u
of Hartford, now The largest, strongest,
and most successful Fire Insurance Com
pany in America, received notice of their
losses, and the President called meeting
of the Board of Directors, and in few
words told them they bad lost, probably,
all their capital. After a few moments
silence, in which the President brought
from the fire-proof vault all the stocks
and bonds representing their capital, and
placed them before them, when one of
the Board asked him what he should do.
do" said the President, $50 to New
York and pay tn losses, if it takes every
dollar there" pointing to the package,
land my own fortune besides"
The anxious LOOKS gave way to those
OF settled determination, and the Board
unanimously said Good, and we will
stand by you with all our individual
capital"
The President went to New York, ad-
justed the losses, and in a years time the
company, so bold to act and ready to full
fill all its obligations, had their capital
more than returned by premiums, and a
better reputation than any company in the
United States

A Practical Joke.

A PARTY of ladies concluded, the other
day, to have picnic, or May party. They
decided that the male specimens of
humanity should not be represented The
poor fellows who were ruled out felt bad
about 1t. They swOre vengeance. 1t was
very ungal'ant in the gentlemen, we will
admit. Nevertheless, our duty as truth
ful Journalists complies us to give the facts.
The ladies were not to be daunted by
threats when a woman wills she will,
you may depend ont" They made all
necessary arrangements A goodly sup
ply of eatables were procured, and con-
veyance engaged. The day selected for
the picnic was beautiful one. The sky
was clear, not a cloud was to be SEEN
The ladies were about taking there sea It's
in the vehicle which was to convey them
to the picnic grounds, when a gentleman,
who Lad stopped to see them off, casually
remarked that they had selected a danger
Gus place to hold picnic, as there was q
band of Indians encamped near Smiths
Ferry, on the Bellevue road. This an
nouncement shook their courage some
what; but one little vixen. who seemed
to furnish the courage for the entire party,
said that she would 90 there alone; if they
were afraid to accompany her, they might
remain at home. They said that "they
were not afraid to 60 anywhere" So
crack went the whip and away went the
wagon. A drive of about one hour
brought them to a beautiful picnic ground
on the banks of the Mississippi, near
Smiths Ferry. They had not alighted
from the wagon, but were debating the
respective merits of the two camping
grounds situated in the immediate vicinity,
when there arose up, as if coming out of
the ground, dozen Indians, paint, feath-
ers, mOccasins, blankets, and all. The In
dams seized the reins, and by gestures
gave the ladies to understand that they
must leave the wagon and provision with
them. The ladies were very glad to es-
cape with their lives, and willingly start
ed on foot toward home. They had not
proceeded more than three quarters of a
mile when they were intercepted by a
party of their gentlemen friends, to
whome they related their grievances. The
gentlemen gave vent to a certain amount
of coincidence, and then informed the
ladies' that they were having picnic, and
had quantity of eatables which they
would be pleased to share with them. The
ladies were escorted to beautiful spot
near the road, where they found table
spread in anticipation of their coming. II
was grooming under the weight Of the very
goodies of which they had a short time
before been despOiled. Their horses stood
near by, under the trees, composedly brush
ing away the flies, and strewn about on
the grass were blankets and feathers ETC.

Congress aud Reputation.

How to Market Butter.

THE Boston CMtioator tells how the
best farmers near Philadelphia get so high
a price for their butter:
First they always make first-class ar.
ticle, so their customers, sure of getting
the best there is, will not desert them on
account of rise IN the price. Second
they bring in their butter in a snowy and
attractive condition. No pot of deli ware
no tub or pail of oak or hemlock, no vul-
gar tirkin is used to entomb those noble
balls, golden hued with the aroma of white
clover and Poa pratenSe lingering in the
firm grain. n large tin vessel, designed
expressly for the business, has chambers
at each end, into which ice is put. Thin
wooden shelves, about three inches apart
rest on little projections from the sides. A
layer of balls is placed on the bottom and
covered with its shelf, but not so as to
touch or mar the handsome print of sheal
of grain, which stands out on the top OF
each ball; on the shelf another layer OF
points, and so on till the vessel is full, then
containing forty or fifty Id. prints. The
tin, with ice In each end, is then set in q
wooden tub which has been cooled with
ice or spring water. Over this is drawn a
cover of padded carpeting, with oil cloth
on top. Thus hot air and dust is wholly
excluded, and the butter rides to the city
and opens in the market house in as fine
condition as when packed in the spring
house. In inst this way, with this degree
of care and skill, is the best Philadelphia
butter made, marked and marketed No
wonder the Philadelphians would rather
pay seventy cents than go back from
such mamma to the leeks and onions of the
common firkin,

Preservation of Harness and Carriages

A LARGE portion of those who own har-
ness and carriages, either through ignor-
ance or carelessness, pay SO little attention
to their preservation, that in few months
they generally look soiled and old If prop
er care is taken, this may be avoided The
principal difficulty results from allowing
the mud to remain on for long time or
from the manner in washing it off, and we
will give few hints about keeping har-
ness and carriages in good order.
Those who have the care of harness
need not be troubled to prevent it from
getting wet, for leather, if in good condi.
ton, is seldom injured by water. Care
should be taken however to hang ND the
harness. and not allow it to be thrown into
heap on the floor, to lie and mould, in
stead of drying off
The leather should be kent fairly oiled
but the harness should first be taken apart
and washed with soft water, and the oil
may be rubbed in while the leather is
moist, care being taken that the applica
ton is thoroughly made. For this pur-
pose neats-fOOt oil is considered the best
Ii the harness also needs backing, a little
lamp black should be added to the oil
and the rubbing should be continued until
white cloth may be used in wiping off
the harness without being soiled Leath-
er varnish should never be used on har-
ness. In cleaning the plating, rotten
stone or whiting may be used, but gener-
ally an occasional rubbing off with
wooden cloth will be all that is necessary.
The first thing to remember in cleaning
a carriage is that the mud which may
accumulate is not to be taken off by rub
bling if it is dry. (and it should never he
allowed to become so if it is possible to
prevent it, soak it well and let it get soft,
so that by throwing on water it will run
of. After the carriage has been thus
thoroughly rinsed off, and the corners
cleaned out, the work may be finished
with pail of clean cold water and good
sponge; if the sponge is not clean it will
be likely to scratch the paint. After wash
ing, piece of chamois skin should be
used to rub all the paint and polished
work until it is thoroughly dry. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that no one who
cares at all for nice looking carriage will
ever leave dirt in the corners.
There need be no fear of washing
carriage too often if washed every time
it is run out, and dried well with cham
OILS, there will generally be less trouble
about the cracking of paint But the care
OF carriage does not end with the wash
ing. A suitable room to keep it in is al
ways very important consideration. A
coach house that is not properly ventila
ted, or in a damp place, where steam of
any kind passes through 1t, will, in a short
time, furnish the opportunity for destroy
ing the best painted carriage ever made;
in these cases it is too common to attribute
the fault to the painter.-American Stock
Journal

Liquid Manure.

VIM. T. RAND gives an interesting ac-
count of experiments with liquid manure
in a recently published Report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture. He leached
sOap-suds and hOuse-slops of every kind
through fresh barn yard manure, and ap-
piled the liquid thus obtained to the soil
in his dollhouse, and it increased the
temperature and improved the growth of
his flowers and plants to such degree,
that it seemed the work of magic
By adding one bushel of fresh wood
ashes to ten of stable manure, and leach
ing soap suds, ETC., through it, he found
the alkai addition had the effect of matur-
ing the woody parts of plants, and dimin-
ishiDg the vine growing plants. Leach
ing soap suds, etc, through a peck of
fresh hen manure, and five bushels of
fresh cow droppings produces liquid
which had very beneficial effect upon
vine growing plants, and the contrary eff
ect on fruit growing ones
During his experiments IN order to OBJ
tain q valuable liquid manure for uni
versal use, Mr. Rand filed his hopper with
variety of decaying animal and vegeta
bic matter, such as rotten wood, decayed
weeds, refuse meats, old bones, lime, ashes,

The physical structure of the strongest human
