To Keep Grapes.

Grapes can be easily preserved till spring
if little care is taken in the gathering
and "curing" The punches should be
picked and carefully laid on large trays.
Extensive raisers of grapes should have
wooden trays three feet in length, and
from eighteen inches to two feet in width,
and six to eight inches deep, with slanting
sides like common trays. These should be
made of Stats of wood, or like baskets, so
that air may circulate through them.
These trays must be placed in some spot
where there is a free circulation of air,
without artificial heat-an upper chamber,
or any out-room with the windows open,
will answer. Great care should DE taken
in handling the grapes, for one crushed
one will in few weeks spoil the whole.
When the grapes have remained for
week or two in the trays, they will have
become somewhat hardened or "cured 1"
the grape itself has lost but little mois-
ture, IFS thick skin prevents that, but there
has been some evaporation, and thereby
less tendency to mould. If grapes are
naclred AWAY directly, from the vines, they
shrink, contract moisture, and are naDIe 70
decay consequently they arrive in market
(if Tor sale) short in weight and in bad con-
dition. When properly "cured," put in
perfectly dry wooden boxes, or in stone
pots or tin cases. Place layer of cotton,
wool, or dry leaves on the bottom of the
packing case. We think the common
fern, found plentifully in the forests and
roadsides of our towns and villages, if
gathered and dried, would prove the best
preservative for grapes in the world. 1t
possesses rare powers of prevention
against mould and decay, has pleasant
odor, dries quickly in the sun, and would
doubtless prove of benefit. The English
are using it, not only to preserve fruits,
but for fish, fowl, and meat. Over each
layer of grapes covering of leaves or
cotton is spread. Three tiers of grapes
are said to keep better than four or five.
The boxes should be placed in cellar
where the temperature is cool and uniform
mot in furnace heated one, unless in
different compartment, with happy me-
dunn between damp and dry-such eel
lar as will keep apples well. March and
April will find the grapes fresh and sweet
as when gathered from the vines.
We cannot all possess preserving
house." but we can keep grapes if we
choose to take little pains with them

The Power Of q Word.

A MOTHER on the green hills of Yer
mont was holding by the right hand son,
sixteen years old, mad with the love of the
sea. And as he stood by the garden gate
one morning she said: Edward, they
tell me-for never saw the ocean-that
the great temptation of a seaman's life is
drink. Promise me, before you quit your
mothers hand, that you will never drink"
"And," said he, (for he told me the story)
"I gave the promise, and / went the globe
over, Calcutta and the Mediterranean, San
Francisco, and the Cape of Good Hope,
the north pole and the south: saw them
all in forty years, and never saw glass
filed with sparkling liquor that my moth
er s form by the cate did not rise up be-
fore me, and to-day am innocent OF the
taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence of the
power of a single word? Yet that is not
half "For," said he, yesterday there
came into my counting room man OF
forty years"
"'Do you know mes"
"No."
"Well,' said he, Il was once brought
drunk in your presence on shipboard;
you were a passenger; they kicked me
aside; you took me to your berth and
kept me there till had slept off the in
toxication; you then asked if had a
mother. / said had never known word
from her lips. You told me of yours and
the garden gate, and to-day am master
of one of the packets in New York, ard
came to ask you to come and see me. ;"
How far that little candle throws its
beamsi That mothers word in the green
hills of Vermont God be thanked for
the mighty power of single word !-Ez-

twelve months: and again, the safe could
not be legally sold without authority from
the crown; and his client could not be the
legal buyer, nor, consequently, have any
right, title, or liability in the shares afore-
said. ~
In addition to all this But noi / will
spare the reader the future particulars OF
this involved case Suffice It to say that
it was decided in my favor; but it was
carried to higher court, where l was re-
euired to show cause why the verdict was
not set aside and entered for the plaintiff,
on the ground of the decision being con-
trary to evidence. There it was all gone
over again, with the addition that the
original thieves were produced, one of
them no other than my burglars friend
Toney (and was threatened with an ac-
ton by the maker of the safe for stating
that Toney broke open the "Unimpeacha-
BILE" in five minutes in my Outhousel. Here
the decision went against me. Finally,
the case came before the bench OF Judges,
where majority of one reversed the rul-
ing of the lower court.
Twas therefore at last so far successful
in the issue as to find myself in the Bank
ruptcy Court, on account of the legal ex-
penses my precious trial had accumulated.
The one satisfaction attending this result
was, that must inevitably have gone

Range Of the Human Eye.

The range of the human eye may be
Judged of from consideration which gives
us at the same time a good idea OF the
scope of animal structure. Supposing
that an individual of every known species
were TO take its stand between the two
species that were respectively the next
larger and the next smaller than itself, the
smallest known animal at one extremity
of the line, and the largest standing at the
other; and then suppose we were to ask
which creature occupied the middle place,
having as many degrees of size below il as
above, and as many above it as below, that
place would be found to be occupied by
the common house-fy. What o stupen-
dous optical instrument must that be
which, assisted with few brass tubes and
some disks of glass, shall discern a creature
ms much smaller than fy, as q fly is
smaller than an elephant l-LittIs Things

MISCELLANEOUS.
Rights Of tb2 e Newspaper Press.

y
Judge Dnbbin, of the Superior Court of
baltimore, Nd, in his charge to the Jury
in recent libel suit against the proprie-
tors of the American of that city, gives a
more liberal construction to the rights of the
newspaper press than has usually ema-
mated from the courts. The law of libel
in this country is to large extent tradi-
tional, resting mainly upon English stat
utes, and the hardship it works TO the
public is the presumption ofmalice against
publishers, whenever the conduct of indi-
viduals is commented upon unfavorably.
Libel suits are in the nature of criminal
prosecutions, and yet the ordinary rule
that every man is to be supposed innocent
until the contrary is established is reversed
in these cases, and the burden of proof
thrown upon the defendant. Judge Dob
bin, actuated by more enlightened spirit,
and by higher estimate of the RESPONSE
bilities of Journalism, declares that it is the
duty ofthe press to be vigilant in regard to
the correction of fpublic wrongs and that it
is even better for the innocent to suffer in
some cases than that the right to freely
comment upon acts prejudicial to the in
terests of the community should be ham
pered and newspapers deprived of an in
fiuence SO essential to the welfare of man
kind. In several of the States the libel
laws have of late years been greatly
amended in this direction, and better
protection given to the independent and
respectable press. OF course it is not de-
sirable that all restraints should be abol-
ished, and the opportunity given for will
full defamation but the laws should not
make it dangerous or costly thing for a
journalist to speak plainly of wrongs
against societv.-Missouri Republican.

Another Robinson Crusoe.

In the month of August, 1863, the
French ship Adelina Eliza quilted Bor-
deaux for Hong Kong. A month after
ward she was spoken off the Cape of Good
Hope She was never heard of again un-
til few days since; her history and the
history of all her crew became public. A
typho0n in the Indian Ocean threw her
out of her course, dismasted her, broke
her rudder, and tossed her toward Oceani-
ca. Bad weather lasted twenty days, and
when fair weather returned she struck
upon coral reef, and the exhausted crew
were scarcely able to take refuge in the
boats.
1t was a moonless, starless night when
this accident occurred. They rowed wild
ly, and thanked God when the breaking
day showed them barrier surrounded by
shining landscape. They reached land
and lay down to sleep. When they awoke
they found themselves bound hand and
foot, and surrounded by savages. Their
captors proved to be cannibals. Eleven of
them, their Captain included, were slain
and eaten. Three others contriyed, how
does not appear, to make their escape; but
they were mutilated. The one who sue
ceeded in reaching Europe has one arm
cut off and one eye torn out. The three
reached remote part of the island, where
they found a canoe and embarked in it,
preferring the risk of being de-
voured by sharks, to the certainty of be-
ing killed ano eaten by cannibals. For
tunately they found themselves in an
archipelago, and were able to go from one
island to another. After wandering for
some time, moving as rapidly as possible
away from the cannibals' home, George
Samazon's two companions died of ex-
haustion.
He remained alone, mutilated. hopeless,
upon frail canoe. He nevertheless con-
tinued to push on, touching land only
when necessary to sleep, and to get water
and food He eat shell-fish and roots.
One day he reached the last islam j of the
group, and nothing lay before him but the
wild ocean. He set to work to build
raft. He launched it. He several times
tried toput it to sea, but constantly failed.
He resolved to turn his footsteps land
ward, but in different direction from the
cannibals' home. He climbed a mountain,
crossed desert, fell again into savages'
hands, once more escaped from them, fled
through forests, his feet were bitten by
venomous insects; his face scabbed by the
bite of mosquitoes; at last, nearer dead
than alive, he came upon white men. The
white men received him kindly, and did
what they could for him. He embarked
upon a small Portuguese ship, and at last
reached Europe His family had long
given him up for dead.--Pdris Cor N. O.

Some Queer Calculations.

HAVE you not often heard, or read, a
statement like this? "The earth has been
eug over mary times to bury the millions
who have lived on its surface" Do you
belive this? If you do, just follow me in
a calculation. The present population oil
the earth is one thousand millions Now,
supposing that at the creation there were
.hA.ssand miIlions-instead of one
pair-and at tho end of thirty years, they
died and were buried, and their places
taken by another one thousand millions;
and so on through the six thousand years.
This would give us grand total OF two
hundred thousand 10000, ,0O0,O00 mil
lions. Where can this immense and al
most inconceiyable number be buried,
Let us see. The earth's surface is 200, ,000,-
600 of square miles. This multiplied by
27,S7S, 400 (the number of square feet in
mile), and the product divided by two
hundred million, gives 55,756 square feet
for each and every one of this vast num-
ber. This brought into a square gives the
very respectable sized lot of 236 feet each
way, or nearly Is rods square.
Not yery much crowding or digging
over and over again, is there? Decidedly
better sized lots than Cedar Hill or Spring
Grove affords. If you think am wrong,
go over with the calculation and convince
Yourself Another little calculation, If you
please. How much room,' think you,
would the thousand millions now ON the
earth require to stand upon were they all
brought together? Figures viii tell.
Draw circle ten miles in diameter on
some smooth plain, and place church
bell in the center, and every one of the
1,0O0,00O,O00 could hear it when struck
Such a circle would give to each of this
immense number two square feet-or
space about seventeen inches square.
Rather more crowded than the burying-
ground, 1 admit, but still more than
enough for the small ones, rather scant
perhaps, for the Lamberts-yet, on the
whole, very good average. Don't you
think such gathering would beat the

only trouble is, Boston does not afford

A Practical Flying Machine.

A member of one of the Oldest and
most successful business establishments In
this city has been for several years expert
menting with flying machine that he
has invented and is now sanguine will be
entirely successful. Discarding entirely
the common modes of meeting the diff
culties of keeping the machine pendant in
the air by some form Of balloon, our Pa
ducah inventor elevates his machine, and
keeps it afloat, by mechanical means and
the use of materials that combine strength
with extension His present machine,
which may be called indeed . model, en-
ploys two engines, with two-inch cylin-
ders, and its supporting and propulsive
agency is perpendicular shaft with two
arms, to which beautiful wings are at
tached. These wings strike the air at
about the same angle as the wings of
bird do, and operate more like screw
propellers than the wings used on any
other flying machine yet proposed. The
steam was put on last Thursday in the
presence of several competent machinists,
and everything worked in satisfactory
manner. The inventor Is now engaged in
ascertaining, by practical experiuent, the
exact lifting power of his machine Y1D9B

to wait until the worst was over, and
Helen had found out just what a coarse,

meant it, and staid in the cabin and peered
out from the windows.
Presently there was sur around the
shaft. Bell shivered. She knew her father
was coming up.
Mrs. Black was busy in the little kitch-
en-, preparing supper. Her husband car
ried a cold dinner down into the mine,
but when he came up he always expected
his dinner-supper, as he called it, to be
ready.
She toiled away for few minutes, and
then she looked into the room where
Bell was. "Isn't it time for him" she
asked.

Presently in came Jimmy and Helen.
"Motherl mother!' sobbed Jimmy,
they're bringing him up. Something's

Bell might have spared herself the life
long pain that will grow into her heart,
for her father never came up out of the
mine to cause her to be ashamed of him
before Helen.
The miners brought him out, dead by
black damp. Bells prayer was granted.
She will never hide again lest she should
blush to see her father coming up the shaft.
