Four indiscreet Iowa children -- two boys
and two girls II years of age, having be-
come euraptured with the lie of hermit
and the romance of forrest life, took to
the woods for the purpose of digging a
cave in the depths of the woodland, away
from the cares and sorrows OF civilization,
to enjoy the freedom of the Gipsy or the
Indian. The cruel parents, however, goi
wind of the affair before the wanders had
reached secluded spot, and brought then

EAR TyOUAKE.

SAN FAANcIsco Dec. 27.-The heaviest
earthquake shock ever experienced in East
ern California and Nevada occurred about
6 o'clock last evening. It was felt with
more or less severity at Sacramento, Marys-
vile, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Iowa Hill,
Stockton, Chico, Trnekee, and other neigh.
boring towns. At Virginia, City, Nevada
walls were thrown down, door.bells rung
and clocks stopped. The CONSERVATION
was general The shock was felt severely
on the lower levels of all the mines
The vibrations were north and south
and lasted about ten seconds. Al
Reno the shock was preceded by low
rumbling, which lasted nearly two minutes
alarming the inhabitants. The expires,
train bound west was detained about az
hour, between Wadsworth and Reno, b.
large rocks and earth thrown on the tract
by the earthquake.

The first mercantile vessel which passed
through the Suez Canal on its way to
Bombay was wrecked in the Red Sea.
This is not encouraging. All the vigilance
which careful and experienced officers can
use is not sufficient to prevent accidents
in that dangerous sea. Let it be covered
with ships, and the list of the casualties is
pretty sure to be indefinitely increased
The bark Noel only went eighty.six miles
from Sucz before it fell victim to some
treacherous sand bank of coral reef. NJ
de Lesseps must get the Red Sea buoyed
before his canal will be of any great ser
vice to commerce.

DEMORESTS MONTHLY,

a magazine OF practical utility in the house,
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
ence, acknow lodged to be the IN dem parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 2Sx32 inches, is from The or
iginal painting, entitled, The Pic-Nlc ON the
Fourth of July
The painting took n whole year, and is con-
sidered the finest OF the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lilli= NJ. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists-John Rodgers, Samuel
lialpin, and Samuel llollyer The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None bat
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union of ling and stipplC
is executed with unusual ability, and then
skilful combination has greatly contributed tC
the success of the engravers in this unsurpAss
ed proof of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thou.and dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright and is acknowledged by competent
judges The most elaborately finished large worl
of art evor engraved in America

DR.. WIsHsRT's GREAT AMERICAN DYSPEPSIA
PILLS and PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL are a posi-
tive and intallible cure for dyspepsia in its
most aggravated form, and no matter Of how

They elevate more agony and silent suf'

Teey are noted for curing the most desps-

means fail to affo relief.
No form of dyspepsia or Indigestion can re-

Mr.. u. DEGABRIEL., a conductor on
the Phil. & Erie railroad, picked up a
pockot>book in a seat the other day, above
Reuova, which, on examination, he found
to contain 26 one thousand dollar bills.
BE quietly put in his pocket and then
instituted search for the owuer, whom he
soon found, and who proved to oe a gentle
man named Smith, dealer in stock, on his
way to New York from Ohio. Mr.. Smith
when spoken to by Mr.. DeGabriel, was
unaware of his loss, but was soon made
aware of it by Mr.. DeGabriel's hints about
having found "small parcel" lie was
50 overjoyed at the recovery of his money
and so grateful that 1t had fallen into an
honest mans hands, that he pressed upon
Mr.. DeGabriers acceptance a bran new
one hundred dollar bill. This, however,
Mr. DeGabrie, refused to accept, saying
that he asked no reward for doing his duty.
Mr.. Smith then remarked "you shall hear
from me again." aud went on his way
rejoicing. Such a man as DoGabriel comes
under the poets definition of the "noblcst
work of God," an honest man, and is him
self fortune to his employers. We advise
them to "cultivpte'' him. -BeNe/onfc

The Correct Length of v

A horse cannot draw as Wcr
q whifIlle-tree twelve feet long a
one two feet six inches in length
cause the line of draught is not il
proper direction to be most effective.
Nor can two horses, harnessed abreast,
draw well with whiffie-trees ten feet
long, while their heads are coupled
close together, because they must
travel sidewise, more or less, in which
position no animal can exert all his
strength to the best advantage in haul
ing a load.
Horses draw best with the double
whiff1e-tree just long enough to allow
them TO stand close TO each other, hav-
ing the single whiffle-tTces attached
directly behind them, and just long
enough to meet in the middle. When
the dOub!e-trCC is very long, each
horse must draw more or less side
wise, if the coupling lines and the
neck-yoke are not made long enough
to allow them to move directly for
ward, without having their heads
turned toward each other. In order
to determine the correct length of
whiffle-trecs, let two horses stand
side by side, with their sides three
inches apart; then measure from the
center of one horse to the other on
their backs. This will give the length
for neck-yOke, and the correct
length for the double whiffle-tree, be-
tween the joints where the single
trees arc to be attached. When a
meck-yoke is only eighteen inches
long, and the dOuble-tree of a proper
length, horses will be required to
move more or less sidewise. For the
same reason, oxen often get i'll the
habit of hauling sidcWise, because the
yoke is too short. Neither oxen nor
horses can travel easily and freely
when their heads are turned toward,
and their butts from each other.
Whiffle-trees for blowing should al
ways be as short as they can be made,
without bringing the traces against
the legs of the team. A very long
doubled Whiffie-tr tends to make a
pillow take too wide a furrow-slice. If
the clevis be adjusted to take mar
row Ow-slice-when the double
tree is too lOng--the pillow will not

Wine Making.

The following Iii ectiOns for the manu-
facture of wine are from the pen of the
late n. LOngwOrth, of Cincinnati, who
was one of the most extensive and sue
cessful winners in the United States:
We gather our grapes at full MATURE
ty, carefully pick off all green, rOttOn
and decayCd grapes, pass them speedily
as possible through Il machine (thOr-
Oughly seasoned and all possible taste
from the wood eXtracJed) to separate the
stems from the grapes, and mash them
without breaking the seed. Instead of
placing them in Il towel and bowl, We
place them in u large clean press, in
which not nail is driven, and the wood
of which has been fully seasoned and
even if of bCcchwood should not allCW
particle Of the taste of the wood to re-
main in it. Press it as speedily rs pos
siblc. keeping the last hard pressing sep
aratC from the earlier trimmings. Place
the must in clean casks, from which no
taste could be obtained from the wood,
or any previous brandy or wine holdings
unless from liquor from the same kind
of grape. We Immediately place the
cask in cool cellar, do not fill it entire
ly but rs soon as the fermentation COM
mCncCs, stop the passage Of the strength
and aroma of the grape as far as possible
by putting in it Il tight Oung through
which passes a crooked SVphOn into the
CaSl to receive the air, aud the opposite
end Of the SyphOn is placed III vessel OF
water, and the syphOn Is continued until
the fermentation is nearly over; when it
is taken out and tight bung driven in;
giving air by a small gimleC hole two or
three times Il day, for three or four days;
after which all air is excluded till the
wine is clear when it is racked the cask
thereafter kept full and tight. If we
wish superior article we DO not deem
it fit for bottling until four or five years
old. ItfiriuT were necessary and Isin-
glass or the white of eggs, to fire pipe,
cost so. we should never think Of using
beech chips.
