Tx MaryeI's Tribute 10 Dickens

Among all the eulOglums which have ap-
peared ON the character of Charles Dick
ems, nothing has been written with more
tender feeling or appropriateness than the
following from Hearth and Home:
The critics who ventured speech amid
the plaudits that greeted him told us he
dealt in caricature ana exaggerations. But
what charming exaggerations they we're, to
be sure Who will prune them away.
and leave us better and cheerier stories?
Like all mon of genius, he has been a law
to himself, which, if it has offended
against the canons of criticism, has
been law of love for the race--a
law of sympathy with the poor and
the suffering law of protest
against oppression of whatever shape
That surely cannot be harmful caricature
which makes US more kinaly toward our
fellows-more honest and earnest in our
charities. We laugh at criticism when
Sam Weller provokes us to hearty roar;
our tears dissolve il when Bob Cratchit
gathers Tiny Tim in his arms, and says
with smothered, broken voice: my little,
little child T.
Well. we shall never listen again to the
man who gave such living and tender in.

AMERICANS IN EGYPr.-Can any one ac-
count for the eastern pilgrimaees of the
twenty or thirty ex-officers of the Federal
and Confederate armies who have gone to
Egypt? Within the last month we hear of
Charles E. Stone; Rhett, of South Carolina;
Mott, of New York; 6ibley, Loring, Jen-
infer, A. Reynolds, and host of others,
who used 10 belong to the Cd army, allon
their way to Cairo, nominally to take SER
vice with the Khedive and reorganize his
troops But why so many generals of what
use in time of peace can be men who do
not know one word of Arabic, in an army
counting, on paper, but Is, 600 men?
The Porte has demonstrated against their
employment. and has been informed that,
though Americans by birth, these gentle
men all proposed to become Egyptians by
naturalization, and that it was necessary
that the Pacha should keep pace with the
improvements of the age. In diplomatic
circles the affair il considered as a symp-
tom of hostile Intentions against Constan-
tinopls as soon as Ismail can get ready.

EFFECT OF THE FooD OF Cows on THKn
MILK.-t has lately been announced, as
the result of careful and long-continued in
vestigation, that the nature of the food
given to cows does not produce the slight
est effect upon the character or richness Of
their milk; the only difference being o
greater or legs percentage of yater. The
experiment. was tried of feeding the same
animals successfully with hay alone; then,
successively. with hay mixed with starch.
oil, rape-seed, clover, ETC., thus giving a
greatly varying proportion of nitrogenized
food. The milk was very carefully analyzsd,
after each change of food. without show
ing the slightest variation in its chemical
constitution. The conclusion was, there
fore. arrived at that the variation or inn
proyement in the quality of the milk is 70
be accomplished rather by q careful regard
to the breed than to the food supplied TO
the animal. These remarks, of course, do
not apply to the peculiar taste impaired to
milk in consequence of the character of the
food of the animal; since it is wen known
that the milk Of cows which have fed upon
garlic very soon furnishes evidence of that
fact to the taste.

WHAT l Know Of Farming.

Turnips should never be pulled; it in
jures them. 1t is much better to send .
boy mp and let him shake the tree.
The guano is fine bird, but great care
is necessary in rearing it. 1t should not
be imported earlier than June or later than
September. In the winter il should be
kept in warm place, whers it can hatch
out its young.
IL il evident that we are to have back
ward season for grain. Therefore it will
be well for the farmer to begin setting out
bis cornstalks and planting his buckwheat
cakes In July instead of August.
Concerning the pumpkin berry is a
favorite with the natives of the interior of
New Englsnd, who prefer it to the goose
berry for making fruit cake, and who like
wise give it the preference over the rasp-
berry for feeding cows, as being more fill
ing and fully as satisfying. The pumpkin
is the only esculent of the orange family
that will thrive in the north, except the
gourd and one or two varieties of the
squash. But the custom of planting it in
the front yard with the shrubbery is fast
going out of vogue, for it il now generally
conceded that the pumpkin, al a shade
tree, Is failure.-Mark Tioain.

The Mammoth Cave.

The caves are susceptible of being very
much improved by few touches Of art
Gas for example. might be introduced that
would exhibit the passages, arches, cham
bers and rivers to great advantage. Ii
would be worth q trip to see the Star Cham
Der illuminated with gas.
People who have not experienced il are
incredulous when told that q journey of
twelve or eighteen miles may be made in
the cave without fatigue. This, however,
is fact. Ladies who could not convent
emily walk six squares in Cincinnati, made
twelve miles in the Mammoth Cave inside
of four hours, and ,me out about as fresh
as they went in. The feotways, too, are
very far from being as smooth as the
boulder pavements in our streets. This
advantage is attributable to the atmosphere,
which Is pure and bracing. The atmos-
phere of the cave will not decompose meats
or vegetable matter.
The proprietors of the hotel have meat
vaults in the cave, where meats are pre-
served for weeks perfectly sweet and fresh.
The wooden pipes made in making salt
peter in 1872 are still to be seen in the cave,
AS sound as the day they were put in. Some
one suggested that the cave would make
excellent lager beer vaults. If it were in
this neighborhood, it would doubtless be
made available for that purpose, and in hot
weather it would be q pleasant place in
which to drink the beverage. The tenn
perature. winter and summer, stands at SO
degrees.
A very small portion OF the caves only
have been explored. and it is supposed
they extend fifty square miles. Those who
own the Mammoth Cave are very much
afraid that an outlet may be found on the
farm OF some other person and therefore
no survav has been made, nor are visitors
permitted to consult a compass In following
the guide.

How THEY ACT AT EUROPEAN BALLS.
night the Ministre de Ia Guerre
gave grand ball; there were stars and or
ders, aud diamonds, and Jewels Of all
kinds. and the toilets were most brilliant
before the ladies went into action; but
alasl five minutes after they had got on
the floor, the ground was covered with
shreds and patches, and lace and blonde
and tulle lay about in little heaps. Mad
anne Olivier was there, with her Gordon
of Maria Louisa; but she still wors her
high-necked dress. and really the con
trast of the broad ribbon and the book
muslin was ridiculous, and the poor little
woman-she is pretty, but stoops, and is
insignifcant-looked i'll at her ease. Emile
would not allow her to put on the fawn-
colored satin. and did not wear his star;
hut neither of them can stand the pressure
long, for there Is no weapon SO deadly to q
Frenchman as ridicule, and the fashionable
world keeps an unfailing stock on hand, al
ways ready for use. Monday the Empress
gave ball, and as there was no hall in the
Tuileriss large enough to accommodate all
the guests at supper, temporary refresh
ment room was erected in the private gar
dens of the palace for the accommodation
Of the two thousand persons who were
b;dden to the ball. To describe
this would be impossible. The crowd,
as may be imagined. was terrible,
the atmosphere was about that of Sierra
Leone, and nobody could dance, first from
want of room, secondly, because of the
plunging of the French military men, and
the kicking ofthe deputation from Albion,
each of these representative elements en-
deavoring to outdo the other in rudeness
and ill-breeding. There were number OF

The Neptune boat GLIB of Staten Island
closed their weeks festival Yesterday with
tub race, which drew out an immense
multitude of spectators. The fun attend
ing the race was peculiar and abundant.
Seven new washtubs were provided, but six
only were used. They were: Shoe, Fly,
entered by Nathan Mundy; Hugnenot, by
j. r. Wemple; E. Nj. Boden, by ]. b.
Bait; Cambria. by c. E. Wemple; Sea
Nymph, by Arthur Cook: and Old Times
Rocks, by j. w. Edwards. The only means
of propelling the tubs was by small wooden
ladies. Many laughable attempts to get
into the strange craft were made, during
which several of the venturesoms boatmen
came to grief and to water. At length all
we're seated in their tubs, and the word 60
was given.
Immediately two went over, turning o
somersault in the water; third made
frantic endeavors to maintain his equilibri-
um, but after wildly bealing the air he
gently subsided and took a bath. The
Cambria and Old Times got away very sue
cessfully, the latter especially keeping up
as though she was an cid seagoing tub.

sternuously endeavored to pass Old Times,
and after two or three quick strokes, the
bottom of the tub appeared on the surface
Meanwhile the rest of the contestants
had been busily upsetting their tubs and
getting in again amid the laughter and
cheers OF the spectators. The Cambria,
having returned to the starting point, made
another attempt, and after two upsets got
away, but had moved only q few yards
when MIR. Edwards came in the winner, he
having successfully gone round without a
mishap.
The prize, the lar gest cabbage Staten
Island afforded, was then presentedt to him.
The fun finished, the crowd dispersed,
the carriages, of which there were q large
number, drove away, and quiet again
reigned in New Brighton. The feminine
friends of the members of the club had
fancy fair at the club house each day of the

penses of the new boat house. A hand

tunes offer a set of colors valued at 500, to
be rowed for in September by members of
boat clubs in New York and New jersey.

The LIFE OF ROBIN Hoop.-Every one
is familiar with the name of Robin Hood,
although so little is known of him. His
real name was Robert Fitzooth, which de-
generated in the mouths of the common
people into Robin Hood. He was an out
law, who lived in the reign of Richard
C0ur de Leon, and John. his successor,
about the close of the 18th and the begin
ming of the 18th centmies. His head
quarters were in Sherwood Forest, Not
tinghamshire. He is said TO have been q
man of good birth but having squandered
his property, took to the woods and be
came gentleman robber." At
the time of Robins exploits, the forest laws
were executed with great rigor; and it is
said that William the Conqueror. and the
Norman kings that succeeded him, destroy
ed 36 parishes, pulled down So churches
and depopulated the country for miles
around in order to have . fine park for en-
joying the pleasures of the chase; conse-
quently, q great lumber of people were
obliged to fee to the woods. These out
casts. having common interest, banded
together, and, by their vigilance and de-
termination, were able to avoid the pursuit
of their enemies. It is said that Robin had
hundred companies, able bodied msr,

not attack them. He seems to have pur-
sued q certain system in his robberie
and wishing to pacify his conscience,
spared the poor and plundered the rich.
He was particularly gallant to women;
hence it is not strange that his exploits
have been celebrated in number of ballads
and songs, extolling his chivalry and hu-
manity to the poor. His particular CON-
panions were Little John and Friar Tuck.
At length, feeling the infrmities Of age,
and being attacked by illness. he vent 70 a
