low to Make a Cistern.

s. j. Starbird. Portsmouth, Ne
brasls, asks how to construct a cheap
cistern. Prof. Liwton told how to
construct costly onc-of brick, arch
ed over the top. cemente The TOT
of the arch to be two or more feet be-
low tho surface, to prevent water f'e
King. The size of the cistcrn should
correspond to the surface OF the root
which supplies it, and waste pipe
should be Inserted so as to drain off
the surplus and keep the water fresh.
DIR. Bruen suggested that in order
tina. the water might be kept fresh,
the supply should enter the cistcrn
from near the bottom. The graceful
Commander Of the Club had built
brick cisterns, found them costly anC
no better than one built of rough
stone and cemented on the inside. -
lie has one, built in 1858. in this way ;
A hole was dug with slipping sides il
a stiff, hard soil. and the cement was
applied direct to the surface- The cis-
tern has been in constant use ever
since, and seems to pc as good today
as ever.
Mr.. Curtis said "A good cistern
can be made in solid clay soil, il
not in an exposed situation, by &C.
menting against the sides Of the
ground. Where the ground freezes ]
would not recommend such a practice.
but lay a wall of cobble-stones in a
morter Of cement. and face the wall
with thick coating of clear morter.
Great care must be exercised to get
good cement. and mix 1t with coarse
sand. Fine sand will not do at all
One part cement aud three parts sand
is the usual proportion, to be used as
soon as mixed. Every part of the
wall must be hid below the reach Of
the frost. This can be done, and an
iron or wooden pipe or throat lead to
the surface, through which the pump
can pass. A cheap and excellent
cistern can be constructed Of wood IN
the form Of large cask or tank made
Of pine or cedar plank. when sunk
into the ground. and kept constantly
wet, they will last for years. a bet
ter way is to place TIE tank or cask
In one corner of the sellar, with a
faucet in the bottom, from which the
water Is easily drawn when IT is desi-
rable to clean it out and when water
is required in the cellar. A cellar
with an open cistern in it will rarely
freeze.

Col. John r. johnson, the artistwag of
Baltimore, furnishes the Sunday Tele-
gram of that city with some startling cad
denda" to the Stowe Byron scandal, which
is of the first importance at this moment.
From it we extract the following particu-
lars:
A,atho,ly-A Great Scandal Just Come to
Light.
When in Italy, met Garibaldi, and
he said he had something to tell me i'm
portant, concerning a much abused wo-
man, viz:--Cleopatra-a celebrated
Queen of Egypt, who reigned long be-
fore the Creation. The facts were narrat-
ed with great truth in the presence of Luz
cretia Borgia and Anna S. Dickinson, as
follows: He told me not to give them to
the world until two noted women were
dead-Gideon Wells and George Francis
Train. Now, as they are not in the land
of the living, with propriety the world can
know the truth ofthis much abused lady.
Cleopatra was, says CARR, a fishmonger's
daughter, and sometimes danced the can
can, but only for pleasure. She was a
great beauty. Anthony saw her but a
moment, and proposed marriage. After
the battle of Bull Run, and no one could
be found to fight the rebels, was offered,
says CARR, command of all the Yankees
in and out of the army of the United
States, and declined it. Well, says An
thony, | will wed you, my fair Cleo
short for Cleopatra. But you must wait
until | go over and lick Hannibal and Ju-
Illus Caesar, who was Anthony's halfbroth-
er, which he didn't do, for the Hugenot
war broke out at the same time, and Ma
poleon crossing the Al ps going to Russia
thanked Anthony. Thus it was he lost
the fight, and Cleopatra was so much in
love with Anthonys he came near going
into nunnery, out of dependence for
Anthonys loss, but didn't do it. Shortly
afterwards Anthony married Cleopatra,
and she found out the horrible crime An
thonv had committed by sleeping with his
half brother Julius Caesar, in dark gar
ret when they were boys. This was the
first of The trouble, and since that time
England wonld not allow Anthony to be
buried in Westminster Abbey. Farther,
SAYS CARR, Anthony was nothing to boast
of himself, for when he opened oysters in
New York, Mark Anthony was a clog
dancer at the Tammany But Cleopatra
bore all, and more than all. She never
told her love, but let a worm sting her,
and she died of grief, never intending to
let the world know what killed her. But
the private papers found in an old nun
merry in Egypt four thousand years ago,
disclosed the fact And Old Mark An
thony wandered about singing comic
songs in a side show to Nero's circus for
many years afterwards, until he was kill
ed in prize fight with Acey Burke.
These are facts the world should know,
and more can be SAID to bring greater
proof of the infdelity of Anthony to Cleo
patra- If the world doubt these facts let
them inquire of Mrs. Beecher Stowe.

DEPARTURE FOR THE SOUTH.

The curiosity of many people to see the
Chinese, continued undated, until the
departure of the steamer Mississippi for
New Orleans, with the delegation on
board, at halfpast four last evening.
The crowd were kept back during the
forenoon by the police, but nevertheless
enough succeeded in gaining the favor
or escaping the vigilance of the officers, to
throng the steamer. The apple girls
prosecuted lively traffic in selling their
fruit to the Johnnies in exchange for
Chinese coin samples of which denomi-
nation by the Celestials, ''Kartigan" or
"Cheng LoRg," after one of the emperors,
were readily turned into nickels by the
apple vendors. The commissary depart
ment presented a variety of edibles,
among which were sides of pork, chests
of tea, sacks of rice, pronounced by the
natives ''lice") whale oil, used in cooking,
a bag of small dried fish highly sailed and
scented, flour, and few other articles of
diet.
The Chinese, it is said, were somewhat
surprised at the curiosity exhibited in
connection with their arrival here, but it
is not surprising when it is remembered
that this is the first appearance so far
east Of singular people received every
where with peculiar interest. Louis

Making Sauer Kraut.

The best we ever ate we made ourselves
for many years, and for a considerable
time with our own hands, and always
from Savoy cabbage. 1t was manufac-
tured in this wise: In the first place let
your ''stand," holding from half barrel
to barrel, be thoroughly scalded out;
the cutter, tub and the stamper, also
well scalded. Take off all the outer
leaves of the cabbages, halve them, re-
move the heart, and proceed with the
cutting. Lay some clean leaves at the
bottom of the stand, sprinkle with a
handful of salt, fill in half bushel of
the cut cabbage, stamp gently until the
juice makes its appearance, then add
another handful of salt, and so on, until
the stand is full. Cover over with cab
bage leaves, place ON top clean board,
fitting the space pretty well, and on top
of that stone weighing twelve or fifteen
pounds. Stand away in cool place, and
when hard freezing comes on remove to
the cellar. 1t will be ready for use in
from four to six weeks. The cabbage
should be cut tolerably coarse. The Sa-
worry variety makes the best article, but
it is only half as productive as the Drum
mond and Flat Dutch.

The coming despotism of the petticoat
government to be hereafter set up by the
strong minded sisterhood, may be imagin-
ed when it is gravely proposed by one of
them that "men should pay their wives
wages, they, ofcourse, to fix the rate, and
to charge what they think their services
are worth. This is the last straw that
breaks the patient domestic cameps back.
So it is not enough that the poor Matri-
monial Coolie should see less CT his house
than any one else, that he should toll ear
ly and late, and barely take time for his
meals, pay all bills uncomplainingly and
be, in short, the pack-horse of the family;
but he must, in addition to the alIowan-
ces, be blackmailed, cajoled and coaxed
into actually paying cash for every button
sewed on or garment mended. This is re-
ally an appalling prospect when the ease
with which buttons come off is considered
The general bad condition of the linen of
the men of the nation may now be &C
counted for. A widespread conspiracy
to reduce it to buttonless state and then
strike for '4wages" has now been discov-
cred through the talking propensities of
one of one of the conspirators. The plot
will fail, thank heaven, the tailors still
live and will be true to us for small con-
sheraton IN button emergencv.

Davis. are set out as the effect Of the
nrowess of Foote at that time:
meanwhile Henry Clay was defeated
and Mr.. Polk was President. The Mexican
war commenced, and jefferson DAVIS
came out Of his long retirement as Col
onel of the First Mississippi regiment
but whatever honor he gained on the
Rio Grande commanded for him no civil
recognition IN Mississippi; and through
the succeeding four years of the Tyler
Harrison administration he was still IN
that grave of obscurity to which he had
been ten years previously consigned by
Gov. Foote and the people Of Nllssisslp-
pi." ).
The veracious chronicler has herein
somehow got the administration of Polk,
and the Mexican war, ranged In order OF
time before that of Gen. Harrison, and
both of them put subsequent to 1857;
and. to make a climax of inextricable
laundering, represents Jefferson Davis as
struggling throughout that whole period,
and all the succeeding term OF Dir. Fill
more, and struggling In vain, to rise from
the profound obscurity to which Gov.
Foote consigned him in 1851 +!
According to Thorpe, Davis was pros
trated by the wind of ball that was not
fred off for ten years afterward-a phe-
nomenon which not even the amazing
windiness of Henry s. Foote can be cred
tied with.
These blunders are all interlarded with
string of aspersions on the manners and
character of the Southern people, in the
vein of the worst war correspondent of a
Radical journal.
These "reminiscences of Thorpe are not
much worse than the average of the press
productions, which, since the war, have
been got up at the North, in description
of Southern affairs and men before the
war. They seem to us a little more
absurd than others, chiefly because their
ridiculous blunderings are more clearly
within our own means of detection; but
they give US very fair mode of estima-
ting the value of similar recollections for
other places, got up to suit the Northern
market. Thorpe, probably, is not gratu-
itously malignant; he is only Indifferent
whether thing be true or false, if it suits
a prevailing appetite and will sell. We
are indulgent enough to believe that for
the same price he would have taken up
any other incident and invented reminis-
cences with the same needless mangling
of character and muddling o. history and
dates
