This was the most artful Of all, and best
calculated to insure vengeance.

successfully many times. Place the bottle in

bottle. Saturate with alcohol or benzine, so
that it touches the oil. Pour, also, some inside

10 A recent writer says it is surprising
how infectious tears are at wedding.
First of all, the bride cries because she is
going to be married and then Of course
the bridesmaids cry, perhaps because they
are not and the fond mamma cries because
she'll lose her d-d-darlng; and then the
fond papa cries because he thinks it proper
and then all the ladies, as a rule, will never
miss chance of crying; and then, perhaps,
the groomsmen will cry, to keep the ladies
company, and all this band of Niobes seem
rather to enjoy this Niagara of eye water.
All except the bridegroom, we have never
seen him cry. No, nor even whimper.
u Female relatives of Grant, the Dents,
and Simpsons, are in demand in the mat
rimonial markets in the west Advertise
ments from young men appear in the papers
soliciting correspondence with view to
marriage with young ladies connected with
these illustrious families. One Of them put
in; "No objections to an aunt if not too
aged.'

A Great Cuban Expedition Fitting Out

Ne" ORLEANS, April 8. New York Herald
special An expedition is now fitting out in
this city which will be of the most formidable
character, and which the Government, if it de-
s!res to maintain its popularity and retain the
affections of the people, had better not inter
Iere with any further than merely to make a
show of good faith toward the Spanish Gov
ernment. The progress of the expedition may
be retarded by official interference, but it can
not be stopped. There are men at the head of
1t and men at the beck of it who never say fail,
ana those who are in the secret look forward
to certain success and beneficial results
"Cuba must be free" is the watchword of the
expedltlonlsts, and they will not stop until the
command becomes a fact, That such men as
Francis 7. Blair and Gen. Steedman are deep
IN the movement is no secret here, and is com
mon talk. That the steamship Cupa, one of
the fastest vessels that ever crossed the Gulf
of Mexico, has been secured for the inltiatory
service is equally well known. The Cuba is
now probably in Baltimore, she having left
Havana on the lst inst. for that port. She is
comparatively a new vessel, and is we'll and
strongly built. She is over one thousand tons
burthen, and is fully able to carry 1900 to 1900
men to any part of the coast of the Island in
whose honor she is named. Those who are
contributing time and money to the enterprise
say that they have no fear of Government in.
reference, as they had arranged matters to
their satisfaction on that score before they
commenced the job. A few days will develop
the details, and the public can then talk over
the matter, while the Cuba, with formidable
armament and we'll found In men, is steaming
for the struggling patriots.
We were told a story a few days since
which we do not remember to have seen in
print, and which we thing is fair. Deacon
b., of Ohio, very pious man, was noted
for his long prayers, especially in the family
One morning the deacon and his wife were
alone, and as was usual custom after break
fast prayer was offered. There being an
unusual amount of work that day, the
Deacons prayer was short. He seized his
hat and milk pail and started for the barn.
His wife being very deaf, did not notice his
absence, but supposed him to be still engag-
ed in prayer. On his return from milking
he was surprised to see her still kneeling.
He stepped up to her and shouted "Amen,"
when she Immediately arose and went about
her work as though nothing had happened.

WHAT SLACKED LINE WILL Do. thrifty
farmer, who "believes in making old things
last in these times says ''There is one thing
that nearly everybody knows, and hardly any
body attends to-that is, to sprinkle lime on

II the shingles are covered ever so thick with
moss, the lime soon clears it off leaving the
roof clean and white, and good for a dozen
years longer. 1t ought to be put on very thick,
and rainy day is best for the work. Strong
wood ashes will answer almost as we'll, to keep
old roofs in repair, but they will not look as
nice. TO make new shingles last three or four

FACTS IN FRUIT CUITUTh. DR.. Trimble, of
New Jersey, successful fruit culturist, gives
the following as the result of his experience
IN destroying the pests of the orchard |. That
the most successful way to conquer the curcu-
lo is to gather the fruit as it falls, and feed it
to stock or destroy it, it is by this fallen fruit
that the cnrcnlio propagates its species. .
That the fruit of the apple tree may be protect
ed from the arple-tree n.oths by wrapping
around each tree two or three times q rope
made of straw. The moths will harbor in this
rope, and can then be destroyed. 3. That the
only way to kill the peach-tree borer is to cut
it out with knife, not only once In q season,
but to follow it up every two weeks until ex-
terminated. After the first going over of an
orchard, this will be little or no trouble, as
each tree can be attended to.

CLOTHES MOTHS.


70 prevent evil is better than 10 cure it, and
now Is Just the time to prevent the great evils
which that savage little pest--the clothes moth
-infcts upon carpets, clothes furs, &c. The
moth, or winged insect, appears in May, laying
in those articles its eggs, which in June hatcl
into the larya or caterpillar state,-in which
state, and not in the fly form, it commits the
ravages. The secret then is to get ahead OF
the moths by preventing their access to the ar
ticles in season to prevent depositing theil
eggs therein. For iurs and all articles that can
he boxed up this is perfectly easy. Our meth
cd Is this and for thirty years we have not seen
4 moth, nor any OF his works As early in Apr
as possible, well clean the articles-say furs-
by beating with whip stick and well shaking
In the wind. Into clean, tight dry goods box
put a few red cedar chips, or small cedar boughs
when the chips are not to be had, and few
small pieces of gum camphor; put also little
camphor and cedar into the sleigh robe, or
whatever the thing is, which fold up solid and
put into the box, putting over it, as under it
layer of cedar and camphor; and so on, pack
ing all the furs interspersed with those articles
nail on tight cover, and wherever a crack OF
the slightest hole can be found, paste on list
Of paper; put the box into cool, dry dark
place, and don't touch or worry about il till
cold weather again calls for the things. Pre-
pared with care in this way, for the smallest
and poorest piece of scrip we will warrant a
$1,000 worth of furs or cloths to come out in
the fall in perfect condition, and much more
pleasantly odoriferous than dandy.
For carpets In use, the camphor and cedar
put freely around the edges, and other exposed
places, we have found perfect protection, but
would not include them in the warrant.
Moths are often very destructive to the cloth
lining. of carriages. high authority-Dr.
Harris, on Injurious insects, says: "The cloth
lining of carriages can be secured forever from
the attacks of moths by being washed or sponc .
