A Coon Word FOR IRISH GIRLs.-In
these days, when the ''heatllen Chinee" bid
fair to invade even the hallowed precincts
of the family = when people are not
ashamed to recommend them in capacities
which ought to revolt every delicate mind
even "a nurses and lsdy's maids to wives
and daughters-when coarse aud vulgar
minds show their mock gentility by SLAM
dering their superisrs-it may not be amiss
to give the following testimony regarding q
class which it has become the fashion to
contemn. It is taken from the Woman's
Journal:
Much has recently been written of the
trials housekeepers endure from the faults
of the servants which they are at present
able to procure, and many writer's would
have us believe that the Irish are, as rule,
slovenly, drunken and dishonest. They
speak Of the neglect, waste and bad condi-
ton of things generally in those kitchens
where Bridget reigns, and long for the day
when Wo Lee shall I'll her place. Now, l
believe this question, like every other. has
presented. OF the virtues of Wo Lee 1
know nothing, therefore will not speak.
That the Irish, as race, have their vices,
cannot be denied, but they also have their
virtues, just as marked, though usually
lost sight of. Things will certainly go
wrong in the kitchen where Bridget or any
other servant is left sole manager. House,
keeping, like every other business, to be
successful, should be looked after and di-
rected by some interested person. Would
a man be expected to prosper who should
start any branch of industry, and then
leave it to be carried on entirely by hired
! helpi Neither must woman, who is not
herself mistress and director, expect the
comfort of her family to be secured, or
economy to be observed in the management
of her affairs. Permit me to narrate some
of my personal experience. My home is in
| a small village, four miles from Catholic
church and my family includes several
small children. For both these reasons it
is often difficult to procure help, and have
frequently been obliged, for short periods
I to do without the one maid of all WORK
| which it is my custom to keep. During the
nine years that 1 have kept house, I have
employed dozen Irish girls, some of them
sseying but q very short time, most of them
remaining many months, and one living
number but one, to my knowledge, used in-
toxicating liquor, and she was Protestant.
| Nor did | ever have reason to believe but
one of these girls guilty OF theft in the
smallest degree, though it has always been
my custom to frequently leave my house
alone with the servant, and not q closet or
drawer in it ever locked. They have, al
most without exception, been fond of chill
dren, especially the baby, never neglecting
! it when left in charge. Being made to feel
| themselves members of the family, they
have been interested in its welfare, seldom
presuming upon the favors shown.

Destroying the Cotton Worm.

The Pillow Boy, in giving reports of
the proceedings and discussions car
ried on at the monthly meetings of the
Farmers Club of Caldwell county,
states that a Mr.. Berry, last season,
relieved his crop from the raVages of
the cotton worm by a very simple eN-
pedient. This gentleman, it is stated,
attached light affair to his harness,
for instance, something like broom
corn Of light elastic brush, fastening
the same on each side of the team, the
catterpillars would be brushed or
stirred off from the cotton plants. If
this operation be performed in the
heat of the day and be Immediately
followed up by light cultivator
which would merely destroy the veg
citation between the rows and thus
remove all chance of subsistence from
the worms on the ground, they would
be effeCtually exposed to the scOrch-
inc rays of the sun, and would be de-
stroyed before they could possibly
return to the cotton plants. II was
stated that Mr.. Berry thoroughly rid
his crop of this pest last year by The
above mentioned means, and, that his
plan was zorro bOrated by other tcsti-
mony to the same effect. No harm TO
try it. although we surmisc it would
have to be repeated frequently. Can
it not be improved upon.

To Make a Good Rail Fence.


FRIENDS TUCKER-I wish TO call the
attention of farmers to my method OF
making q good fence OF rails, as.
of your readers may, as l d.
the zigzag fence on account
amount of land it occupies, q
Der of rails required, and the o.
ty in cultivating, moving, etc, 7
My method is to take two posts
Just far enough apart to admit IN
rails between them; (small posts Will
answer very Well,) sharpen and drive
with a good heavy mall into holes
made with q hOp-bar. Then with a
bit bore hole through each about ~
to "a inches above the ground, and
drive an iron rod, cut to the right
length through the two posts. Old
lightning-rod makes good rods, and
may be easily cut with q cold chlsel,
and broken of at the right length
Then Law our first rail on the rcd be-
tween the posts. Then at the end
place a chunk between the rails, and
lap the rails six or eight inches at the
next pair, the first end Of the second
length at the top of the last end OF the
first length, and so on, and before
placing the top rail pass cap OF gal
Yanized wire around the posts, and
then put on the top rail. Then with
pillow and spade, make a ridge or en-
bankmcnt to within six inchcsof the
lower rail, and you have neat, strong
and durable fenCe.-GEO. HAMMOND,

Aiming for the Best Quality.

Bring n good thing to market and
YOU will be crowded with customers.
You will not only get more, but con-
siderable more, on many things.
Look at the grapes of the best va
rieties fully grown and ripened, see
what an advance they will bring.
There is no glut with such grapes.
You cannot raise enough, that's the
difficulty. And so 1T IS with every
product.
If the market is dull, introduce q
superior article, and you give 1t acuY-
ity. You not only sell, (Where otheiS

can sell a superior thing at any. time.
And when the market is buoyant,
then it is that you are king of the
board. 1t is then that the pI1ce IS al
vanced and you get the benefit.
And it is pleasure to sell a go98
thing, whether fruit, beef, grain =
ter, cheese, or whatever 1t M
You not only go to market W
fidence, but you hold your q
while you have it on hand witt
same assured feeling. You feel
You are safe. You take pride in
thought that you have the article.
Is all this nothing? Then sci
it will be something. 1t wi
your pockets and get you
ton. We have known things
sold on reputatiOnl alone.
But you can raise a good GuaIity
just as well as a poor. You can raise
Just as much of it.
Where do our best things come
from? From our best producers, our
most intelligent, our most honOred
men. They see how it is, and do &C
cordingly.
It is an inferior article that gluts the
market; "a good one never.
1t is safe, then, to aim at No, l it is

Wine Making.

and decayed grapes, pass them
as possible through 4 mach

stems from the grapes, and
without breaking the seedi -
placing them in Il towel and 0DOWl, we
place them in 4 large clean press, III
which not Il nail is driven, and the wood
Of which has been fully seasoned and
even if of beechwOOd, should not allow
q particle of the taste of the wood to re-
main in it. Press it as speedily as pos
sibIe, keeping the last hard pressing sep
arate from the earlier runnings. 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 q cool cellar, do not fill it entire
" but as soon as the fermentation COM
mences, stop the passage of the strength
and aroma of the grape as tar as possible
BY putting in it a tight bung through
which passes n crooked syphOn into the
cask to receive the air, aud the opposite
end of the syphOn is placed in vessel OF
water, and the SyphOn Is continued until
the fermentation is nearly over; when it
is taken out and a tight bung driven in;
giving air by small gimlet hole two or
three times a day, for three or four days;
after which all air is excluded till the
wine is clear when it is Tacked the cask
thereafter kept full and tight. If we

With singular delicacy. the courts of
Utah give the condemned choice of the
mode of execution: hanging, shooting,
or beheading. Instinctively they all
turn from hanging. One white man
only has ever been hung in the Terrific
ry, and his preference for the rope was
induced by the hope held out by some of
his confederates that they would rescue
him from the scafTold.
