HOW WE GET THE WAR NEWS.

The press dispatches from Europe to
New York during the last four weeks,
says the Journal Of the Telegraph,
numbered about 100000 words. New
York has been better posted on the
issues Of tbe war each day than ondoa,
Paris, or Berlin. These dispatches
havo almost wholly been sent by single
cable, full one.third of the whole to a
single daily paper, and with marvellous
rspidity and accuracy. Familiar as we
ara with the work Of the telegraph, it
has been . marvel to as. To hundreds
Of thousands Of minds the whole process
is and has been deep enigma.
Here 10 . man sitting in darkened
room at Hearts Content. The ocean
cable terminates here.
A fne wire attached thereto is made
to surround two small cores of soft iron.
As the eleottic ware, produced by a
few pieces of copper and zinc at Valcn-
tia, passes through tho wire, these cores
become magnetic enough to moyo the
slightest object.
A looking glass, half an iuoh in di-
ameter, is fixed on bar Of iron one
tenth ofan inch square and half an inch
long. On this tiny glass lamp is
made to glare 80 that its light is reflect
ed on : tablet on the wall The
language of the cable is denoted by the
shifting of this reflected light from side
to side. Letter by let.or is thus cx-
pressed 10 this fitting idiom in utter
silence on the wall. Their is no record
made by tho machine except as the
patient watcher calls out to a comradc
the translated Pushes as they como, and
which he records. 1t seems a miracle
of patience. There is something Of awe
creeps over US as we see tho evidence
ofa human touch three thousand miles
away, swaying that line Of light. :.
BY suoh Q delicate process as this, and
after being repeated from line to line
five times before it's ultimate copy is in
New York, have the late great battles
been recorded in our daily papers with
great particuiarity, and sent throughout
the Union. Nothing like it has ever
before been accomplished. The enter
prise Of tho New York Press--of q
single press in New York--has cOlipsca

You would hardly think, would
you that q mans shirt with no
man In II was q thing on which a
woman could write a good para.
graph, but Grace Greenwood has
made an item out Of such material
and hereit Is; gas
"While on a visit TO tho Land
Office (Washington,) was shown
by Mr.. Wilson, the Commissioner,
a singular relic of late fight on
the Plains. II was a garment Ia.
ken from an Indian chief after
death. A shirt Of buckskin, made
without the usual ornamentation
of beads and porcupine quills, vet
graced with something quite novel
IN the decorative way--full, long
fringe, formed of the hair Of white
women and children. II was a
ghastly ornament; tho entire gar
mentwas a very unpleasant thing
to inspect. The only point in L
on which the eve could rest with.
out horror or pity was q small
round hole, beneath which- the
raging heart Of a human wild
beast came one day to q full STOP"

To Destroy Currnnt Worms
and Bugs.

As q preventive against these
depredAtors Mr.. Richard Dopu
communicates to the Rome IN. w
Sentinel the result of his observa.
ton and experience for some years.
He says nothing is so efectual in
keeping worms and bugs from all
kinds oftrees, shrubs and bushes,
as green cedar brush, cut in small
pieces and sprinkled under the
currant and other bushes; and to
keep bugs and worms from fruit
trees he recommends fruit growers
to scatter the cedar brush around
the trunks Of the tree. There is
something offensive about cedar to
all bugs and worms, and they do
not approach 1t. He remarks that
he has never yet discovered q
worms nest on cedar brush, and
that cedar brush is also efIectual in
warding Off mosquitoes and fIies
A horse may be rubbed with the
brush In the morning, and flies will
not bother him that day, or until
the odor wears of. So a person
may lie down in tha woods to sleep,
cover himselfwith cedar brush, and
not be troubled with flies, mosaui.
toes or bugs. Our readers can cas-.
ily try the remedy, in any Of these
cases, when the proper time ar.
rives.

A kitchen shonld not be lesl
than ewelve-feet square; It should
be on the ground floor; be vel
lighted by opposite windows. and
have an outside door. It should
contain the clstern pump and the

amidst the smoke and smell ol

refnse Of preparation, Is fatal to
comfort and domestic refinement.

don't carpet it, but have the floor
painted dark green and dashed
with white. It should be separa-
ted from the kitchen by q pantry
opening into both. This is the
proper place for china ware and ia
BILE linen. A small door opening
on the shelves saves many steps in
replacing dishes when Washed
A store-room and closet for iron
ware should adjoin the kitchen,
and stairs descend from it to the
cellar, which also should have an
outside door and fight OF steps,
for storing vegetables from the
garden. Wooden sinks for wash.
ing dishes are generally uncleanly

Too Much Land.

The following paragraph from

at is said when mechanics have
land they generally give 1t better
cultivation than farmers, and con.
sequently have more grapes, pears,
strawberries and water.mclons, and
earlier potatoes and cucumbers.
They devote more care and labor
to small space, and reap q large
profit from them.
Ifany one WIN look at the Inn.

will produce for q family, and com.
pare II with the little crops ffom
very large farms, they should need
no better Inducements TO enrich
their soil highly.

this, that labor is the great item In
farming; bat that It takes no more
labor to farm background than poor
ground. We have, aa It were,

SALT AS AMANuRE.--A subscrib-
er ofthe Maine Farmer, a most care
fuland exemplary farmer purchased
last spring a large quanti9y of dam
aged salt for dressing. II was ap-
piled to grain and root crops at the
rate of ten bushels to the acre, be-
ing spread broadcast after the grain
was sowed and narrowed In. It's
beneficial effects were quite mark
ed, especially on a crop of peas, al.

lieves himself that he used q larger

CLEANING PAINr.-As the season
for house cleaning is at hand, the
following methods of cleaning
paint may be found serviceable.
Provide a plate with some Of the
best whiting to be had, and have
ready some clean warm water and a
piece Of flannel, which dip in the
water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will ad-
here to it, apply it to the painted
surface, when q little rubbing will
instantly remove any dirt or grease.
After which wash well. with clean
water, rubbing It dry with soft fan
nels. Paint thus cleaned looks as
well as when first laid on, without
any injury to the most delicate col
ors. 1t Is far better than using
SOAP and does not require more
than half the time and labor.

How to have Plenty Of Cucum.
bere.

l had q narrow border, no more
than two and a half feet wide, on
the edge Of q high fence. plant.
ed three cucumber hills in the Dor.
der, and laid some brush (such as
is used for pea vines between
them and the fence. As soon az
they crept up TO the brush,
pinched of the ends of the vine
which thickened rapidly around
the roots, and in every direction,
throwing out the most vigorous 70
liage and profusion Of flowers.
l did not allow the cucumbers to
grow, but watched them, and such
as l wished to reserve for the table
lpicked ns soon as they became of
proper size; and oil the rest were
gathered every day for pickles;
every day plnchlng off the bud at
the end OF each shoot. In this
way the hills continued fresh and
productive until they were touched
by frost. Some judgment can be
formed Of the value OF this practice
when add that more than barrel
ofpickles were made from three
hills, besides allowing a supply for
the table.
Whenever leaf began to. look
rusty or ycllowish, It was removed
and the cucumbers and leaves
were cut OF with large scissors, SO
as not TO disturb or wound the vine.
There is an advantage in having
them run upon brush instead 2 of

Bleeding from the nose is always
regarded as an unwclcome event,
yet, in the opinion Of DIR. Hall, it
always is beneficial, preventing
headache or more serious illness,
and sometimes arresting apoplexy

should not be Immediately arrest

be arrested by putting the feet in
