A Welded Couple Surprised. =.

A few woelks since, there was a.
wedding on Baronno street, New
Orleans, celebrated with eclat, and
the newly-married set out ut once,
on u bridal tour.
Tho ceremony took place at four,
o'clock in tho afternoon, and at
five o'clock they were on board o.
splendid steamer bound for Up.
per Mississippi.
AS soon az tho vessel was under
way the passengers crowded tho
saloon, and mirth and rovelry be-.
gan to hold festival.
A dance was fmprovised, and
JOY and morrimont wcro protract.
cd into tho "woe small hours"
Now, it 30 happened that the
berth, ncxt to our newly. married
friend, was occupied by lively
little matron and hor' infant.
Wishing to enjoy Hs much
pleasure as possible, she had en-
trusted her babe to N servant,
with instructions to put it to bed
rs soon rs it wont to- sleep, while
sho hersolf joined in tho dance.
BY n strange mistake the scr.
want mistook tho state-room, and
deposited tho rosy infant in tho
bridal couch.
Now, when tho hour for retir.
ing camo, tho groom led his blush.
ing brido TO tho door, and modest
ly waited outside for her to dis
robe and retire.
Ono can very readily imagine
his astonishment, therefore, when
the next instant he heard his
namo called franticalIy, and in ao.
oonts Of surprise and distress.
Opening the door he looked in
dubiousIy.
"What's tho mattor my love ?"
ooh, Henry, look here |"
"Why, bless mo, it's q babyI"
"Ycs, but oh, Henry, how did
it como horo-do you think it's
ours ?"
"Woll, nor replied Horny, col.
ounlX, Il thinlv it almost too
soon:'
ooh, it certainly is, but then
what shall we do2"
Just thon tho anxious voico of
tho mother WAS heard inquiring
for tho baby, and it was restored
TO her; worry much to the relief Of
the young people.

Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, is
short Of cash. The checks he gives his
mistresses are cut down nine-tenths,
and he borrows pocket money from his
aides. 1t is said that he lives on peas
ant fare, ard as for his quarters at
Florence the interior of the Pitt Pal
ace is understood to be most shabbily
furnished. The chairs and tables were
rickety and dingy enough under the
old Grand Ducal regime, but they have
now become even more faded. Carpets
embroidered with the arms of Leopold,
of Tuscany, have been allowed to re-
main, but patches of new material
have been sewn over the cognizance of
the dethroned Prince. In the royal
dining room at Florence, two years ago,
the table was covered by seedy red
cloth; the chairs, which should have
been decorated with morocco, had only
imitation American leather cushions;
and the window curtains were of coarse
white muslin, not too clean. When
Victor Emanuel was asked in 1867
whether he intended to visit the Paris
Exhibition, he replied that he should
be most happy-if his brother Sover-
eigns would subscribe to purchase for
him a third-class return ticket.

RatIer md bingham.

The feud between BUTLER and BING-
HAM has been revived. The bitterness
between them seems to be more intense
than ever. The occasion of its latest
manifestation grew out of the dis
graceful conduct of BUTLER in the joint
session of Wednesday. BUTLER, as will
be remembered, vas greatly incensed at
WADE, who presided while the cleo
toral vote was being counted. He at
tempted to get a resolution through
the House, declaring the action of
tho Senate, through its presiding of
hcer, gross violation of the privileges
of the House. When that resolution
was under consideration on Thursday.
BINGHAM said, in reply to taunt frem
BUTLER:
ask the House to compel you 10 take
back your revolutionary resolution.
That is something that he can't retraCt,
and denounce here, before the House
and before the people of the country, as
being as unwarranted as any act Of the
session. | denOuuce, as a representa-.

Bedding Animals.

Long rye or wheat straw is considered
to be far preferable to oat or barley
straw, when used for bedding down an
imals, in warmth, cleanliness, and last,
though not least, in its durability or pc
culiarity of being used number of
times. The reason is, that its length and
crispuess prevent it from packing or
mating close; consequently, when the
weight Of the animal is removed, the
straw assumes loose position, and q
few minutes in contact with the air is
sufficient to drive away all absorbed
moisture. When the object aimed at is
an increase of fertilizers, use forest
leaves, barley or oat straw, sawdust,
cut straw, or other abserbeMts, and the
object will be gained (; but when it is de-
sired only to keep the animal clean, and
cheap article for the purpose is de-
sired, use wheat orrye straw. L. D. S.

Lime as n PresrrVer.

Air slaked lime has been frequently
recommended rs a preserver for veg
etables when stored in cellars or pits.
Recently we heard a gentleman state
that be was in the habit of sprnkling
it among his apples in barrels and bins,
and he thought delicate fall varieties
could thus be kept much beyond their
season. The lime dust could be easily
removed from the apples by using q
cloth or brush, and it impaired no flavor
to the fruit. The use of lime in the Gel
lar, as preservative agent, is good
idea. 1t acts by absorbing
moisture, and if one individual
in the mass decays, the lime
arrests the spread of the disease to 9TH
ers. 1t is well to hint to our readers
that cellars should be overhauled at
this season, and all decaying matter re-
moved; the sweating stage with
stored vegetables is over, and specimens
most prene to rot have developed dis
ease. Sort them out, sprinkle some
lime on the remainder, and purify your
cellar from dangerous aIxi!iaries of
disease

Conservation Of Plovers

The following is very simple way tc
keep flowers in a vase fresh for long
time:
Put tablespoonful Of powdered char
coal into the water which is to receive
the tiowerstalks. The charcoal will
settle Immediately on the bottom of the
vase, and the water will remain limpid
This done, it is not necessary to renew
the water or the charcoal for several
days. The flowers will keep their fresh,
ness and their perfume, and will look
and smell as fine as those Just brought
in from the harden.

When BUFFERS time came to reply
he went for BINGHAM after the follow
ing style:
Mr.. Butler, in his remarks, said he
never CONNIE need assault on anybody,
but when attacked he defended himself
vigorously, and instsnced a case In
which he was once charged by mem-
her of the House with having voted
fifty.seven times for jefferson Davis in
the Charleston Convention, when he
replied in such a way that he thought
the man who made it would never make
another attack upon him.
Mr.. Butler paid his respects to Mr..
Bingham, by saying that be always
liked that speech, and replied to Mr..
Garfield, who had charged him with
being actuated with spirit of hell, by
the words, "out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh," which oc-
casioned much laughter. He then ad-
dressed himself to TIE legal aspect of
the case, which he claimed sustained
his action, and then expressed his
and veneration for old
Ben. Wade, who, he said, sit
ting there by himself, would never at
tempt to take away the rights of this
House, or of any human being, but, said
Mr. Butler, it was because he was act
pg under pernicious resolution, which
vas passed, how parliamentary cour-
esy will not allsw me to say, that he
lcted as he did do. You know that the
Senate of the United States has to-day

CUTTING grain before it is ripe is
often said to result in q better and
heavier crop of seed. Professor Isidore
Pierre, of the University of Carn,
France, conducted series of expert
ments to test this matter. He cut the
same quantity of wheat from the same
field on the 9th, llth, 18th, Goth and
25th of last July, and found daily in
crease of nitrogen and phosphoric acid
to the last, showing that the earlier it
was cut the poorer it was in amylace-
ous and glutinous matters. The most
perfectly ripened grain was in every re-
spect the most valuable.

PorATOEs should always be kept in

need to be told this, but many others
who live in towns and cities should
kno " that potatoes exposed to the light
for day only, have their flavor injured,
and the longer exposed the worse they
are. Never use greenish potato.

John Adams was remarkable as an
early riser, as a great smoker, and as a
lover of cider. 1t was common with
him to rise at or o'clock in the morn.
ing, and read, smoke, and drink cider
for one or two hours before the rest OF
the family was stirring. When he went
out to dine, he was never at ease unless
he had with him his own pewter plate
to eat from. 1t was his invariable Gus.
tom to take the latter article with him
wherever he went.
