Prof. ]. S. NeHberrH.

The Ohio State Journal pays our new
State Geologist the following graceful
and deserved compliment:
"Mr. Newberry is an Ohioan, If not
by birth, at least from early bOyhOOd.
During the administration of Buchan-
an he was in the service of the War
Department, and was detailed as the
chief of a Geological corps to explore
the Colorado river and country. This
survey was so we'll and ably perform
ed that it always will reflect great cred
it upon the parties engaged in it. Du-
ring the war, the War Department at
Washington detailed Mr.. Newberry
to take charge of the Sanitary Com-
mission in the West, with headquar-
ters at Louisville, KY, where for more
than three years he attended in person
faithfully to the details of that very
efficient organization. At the close of
the war he was appointed a Professor
in the School of Mines in Columbia
College, in New York City, where he
is engaged during the winter months,
but spends his summer vacation with
his family on Prospect street, Cleye-
land.
"Prof. Newberry has a splendid H.
brary, perhaps the very best scientific
library in Ohio, at his residence in
Cleveland; rare works of the masters
of the various departments of natural
science, in English, German and
French, are found in his study, and
carefully read and studied. In 1867
the american Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science did itself the
honor to elect him its president"

Skepticism never received a keen
er cutting rebuke than the following,
which we find in a religious exchange:
ga skeptical young colIegian con-
fronted an old Quaker with the state
ment that he did not believe in the
Bible. Said the Quaker: "Does thee
believe in FranceP "Yes, for though
l have not seen it, have seen others
that have. Besides, there is plenty of
corrobOrative proof that such a coun-
try does exist" "Then thee will not
believe anything thee or others has
not seen ?' "No, to be sure 1 won t. ."
Did thee ever see thy own brains?"
No" "Ever see anybody that did?'
"No." "DosL thee believe thee has
any?"

10 the Editors of Harpe,s Bsstty;


To the Editors of HGrpe1's 8eekly;
Some sweetmeats taste like molas-
ses. Gradgrind says it is because
they are made with mOlasses; but this
is not so; they have that flavor when
crushed sugar is used. 1t is for this
reason; liquids that are dense have
their boiling points much higher than
lighter ones. ThesyruP of sweatmeats
is comparatively thin at first, and is
gradually reduced to the proper con-
sistency by boiling down. 1t is at
this time that the sugar is burned, or
partly Caramelized, and this although
the watchful eye of the skillful house
wife sees none Of the ordinary signs Of
burning. Rapid ebulIitiOn, which is
sometimes sought after to hasten the
process, is sure to produce the mOlas-
ses taste and a foreign color; and the
only way to beat your neighbOrs
(Which is I believe one of the highest
triumphs this world can give) is, to
use time and patience, and reduce the
syrup gradually to the desired state.
Fruits of delicate fuvors, especially
the strawberry, raspberry, and cher
ry, require great care and attention,
or the most imaginative person could
not detect what they were intended
for; they are generally burned in boil
ing at too great heat. l have just
burned some myself. The fruit ie'-
lies sold in glass tumblers at groceries
are chiefly gelatine, cOlOred to suit
the fancy, and named with perfect
.recklessness; call them By any name,
and they would sell as we'll
OF course these remarks apply par.
ticularly to fruits preserved in sugar,
not to those denominations, as general
ly made, canned fruits. Nine out Of
ten of these have undergone slight vi
nous fermentation at least, which is
sufficient to render them unwhOlesome
and unpalatable. I have never found
anything better in the course Of q
long experience than a compromise
between canning and preserving by
the old method; that is, pound for
pound. Fruit cooked SO as to exclude
its juice, which is done by scalding in
half its weight of sugar, the resulting
syrup simmered slowly to a rOPy con-
sistency and then canned in GLASS,
air-tight, will have the flavor God
gave it. What is the use Of canning
fruit without sugar2 The sugar has
subsequently to be added in any event.
The peach will float in an amber sea,
the cherries and strawberries in a scar
let one, and the green-gages in such
peculiar yellow green like that what's
its-name cOrdial) that it makes ones
mouth anticipate tho opening day.
With your kind permission L will
request that those who love fruit, in
season and out Of season, will refrain
from scosching it into chocolate cara
mels (withOut the chOcolate), and boil
or simmer it slowly into
"-luceut sirup tinct with cinnamon
as Mr.. Keats wrote.
Ifthey don't like cinnamon, let them
leave it out. EGBERT 2. WATSON.

Keeping Hams in Warml
Weather.

Make bags of unbleached cotton
cloth, put the hams in it, and then
put in a layer of fine, soft hay all a.
round them, so as to make a stratum
of hay between the cloth and the
hams. If merely bagged the fkes will
thurst their ovi-pOsitOrs through the
cloth and sting the meat; but the in
terpOsed hay keeps them of. 1t is q
common practice to whiteWash the
bags, but this is not so neat, and the
bags cannot be so well used again.
Another mode is to bury them IN
oats or some other grain, but they
are more apt to become injured from
want Of ventilation. Charcoal dust
keeps the hams well, but it is black
and disagreeable, and hard to get off.
Whichever mode Is adopted, it is OF
vital Importance that the work is done
early in spring, before the flies are
stirring Country Gentleman.

About this very time of the year
tens of thousand of pilgrims are max
ing their way from all parts of India
to the shrine of that god which has
the power, as they believe, to Obliter-
ate the transgressiOns Of all who make
their offerings to him in person. Jug
gernaut, the 'tlOrd of the world" has
been wOrshiped in the sacred town
of POOree, in the Southeastern part Of
Orissa, lying about 300 miles from
Calcutta, for zoo years past, and the
pilgrims constantly increased in num-
bers until the year of the fatal famine,
when the whole country was streWn
with the dead. Five years or so ago
the attention of the English public
was called tO.a celebration in honor
of Juggernaut, within a few miles of
Calcutta, at which several natives fell
or threw themselves beneath the car
and were crushed to death. OF old
the great festivals were never deemed
complete unless the triumphant path
of the god had been stained with the
blood of his worshipers. But the
priests dare not encourage that Gus
tom now. If a devOtee filings himself
down before the idol, the Brahmins
cry out it was an accident. The idol
airy, however, still costs hundreds of
lives every year. The weak and sick
ly perish by the wayside, and chOl-
era epidemic usually breaks cut at
POoree when the city is most over
crowded with pilgrims. The poor
creatures are huddled together in a
way which seems almost incredible to
the European. The temple of Jugger-
naut stands in large inclOsure in the
centre of POOree. There is a Grecian
column of black basalt in front of the
principal gate, brought from KanorOk.
The god lives in a large tower, and
about $40 persons are employed to
minister to his supposed necessities.
There is an attendant who puts the
idol to bed every night, another who
wakes him, a third whose Office is to
put water and a tooth-pick comfOrta-
bly, within his reach, fourth to paint
his eyes for him every morning, as if
he were a faded London beauty, sever
al others to cook and give him his
food, 12O dancing girls to amuse him
in his heavy moments, and 5000
priests to worship him--and plumber
the pilgrims. All this goes on year
after years. going on in the midst
of this hot month of June, while the
pilgrims throng every road which
leads to the shrine.-[E Eng. Paper.

How Women Can Become Inde-
pendent.


Let every woman that sees the first
need to be that woman should be so
taught, so educated, that she can be
independent of father, brother or hus-
band, first strive to be independent
herself, and then teach it to all other
women and girls about her. Let ev-
cry woman who wants to be anything
IN particular, and feels within her Ca
pacity, determine to be that thing.
But let her faithfully submit to the
conditions of her imposed task. II
she has taken desk in the counting
room, let her do her duty as man
would do his. She has no right to
expect to be excused when a man
would not be; no right to stay at
home when it rains q; no right to go
away earlier than her hour, because
she can't cross the ferry after dark; no
right to expect not to blown up when
she makes a wrong entry. 1t is sim
ply because women will not submit to
the conditions that men have to su b.
NIT to, because their uncertain future
makes them careless of their work,
and because they do not so readily
find employment, and that they are
always paid less wages than men. Once
let woman confront fate and not fiirt
with it, and the woman question
would begin to emerge from its pres
ent muddle.-T Putnam's Magazine.

A GEM FROM AN OLD BOOK.-It
has been elOquently and truly said,
that if Christianity were compelled to
flee from the mansions of the great,
the academies of philosophers, the
halls of legislators, or the throngs of
of busy men, we should find her last
retreat with woman at the fireside.
Her last audience would be the chill
dren gathering around the knee of the
mother; the last sacrifice, the secret
prayer escaping in silence from her
lips, and heard, perhaps, only at the
throne of God.

Some young tourists, travelling on
horseback among the White Noun
tains, became inOrdinately thirsty,
and stopped for milk at a house by
the roadside. They emptied every
basin that was offered, and still want
ed more. The woman of the house
at length brought an enormous bowl
of milk, and set it down on the table,
saying, "One would think, gentlemen,
you had never been weaned."

YOUR MISSION.

1you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet,
Rocking on the highest billOws,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend hand 10 help them
As they launch their boats away.
Ifyou are too weak to journey
Up the mountains, steep and high,
You can ct and within the valley
While the multitudes 90 by,
You can chant in happy measures,
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
Ifyou have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command,
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep;
You-oan be true disciple,
Sitting at the sayiOr's feet.
Ifyou cannot IN the conflict
Prove yourselfa soldier too,
II. where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no WOsk for yOn to do,
When the battle field is silent,
Yeu can 60 with silent tread;
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Donot, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work 10 dOi
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to yon;
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not feaF to do and dare;
Ifyou want field Of labor,
You can End it anywhere.

Horace Greeley.

Poverty is a gloomy presence in any
.hOme-even American povtrty-and
a boy who saw the household goods
distrained by the Sheriff, and his faith
Ter in flight from the debtors prison,
no doubt found the morning of life
dark enough and even when her
time came, fortune presented herself to
young Greedy masked and looking at
the best like very hard-favOred virtue.
When his father was about to quit
New England, the printers appren-
tice walked over from the town where
he was learning his trade to that
where he was to take leave of his fam
lily. In words which must 90 to the
hearts of all those who have known
what homo sickness is, and how very
closely and tenderly common endur-
ance and hardship knit parents and
children together, he tells that some
of his kindred urged him TO go with
the rest, and not return to his place
in the printing-office. "I was sorely
tempted to comply" he says, "but it
would have been in bad faith to do so.
4 x x A word from nv
mother, at the critical moment, might
have have overcome my resolution /;
but she did not speak it.
X After the parting was over, and [
well on my way, was strongly tempt
ed to return and my walk back to
Poultney Twelve miles) was one of
the saddest and slOwest of my life"
Nothing could have been very diff
cult after this, and there seems to have
been no other moment of the authors
life that asked so great forlitude and
resolution. 1t was success; but life is
an artful rOmancer, and postpones its
de IobeHents. There was a vast deal
to go through before the destined
greatness of the Tribune could be ac-
complished. How the apprentice be-
came a jOurneyman printer in West
ern New York and in New York
City-then an editorial necessity of
the politicians, employed and paid by
them-then the first independent and
courageous journalist we have ever
had-is pretty well known to every
body but everybody may read it here
with great pleasure, in that light and
Circumstance which a man can best
give his own life. At every point the
career is an interesting one, and in
great part it includes national history.
Thanks to the peculiar constitution
Of his mind, which, while it lacks the
qualities of originality or genius, is
yet boldly tentative, he has been
identified or connected with every So
cial and political movement which
has promised to benefit or elevate
mankind and he has something to
tell us of them all. We. think certain
readers, who have learned rather from
his enemies than from himself to re-
gard him as a reckless innovator, will
be surprised to find him so conserv-
ative as he is of all that really holds
human society together for good
marriage, the family, religion, subOr-
dination.-- Atlantic Monthly.
