Cob Pipes.

There is no accounting for the taste of
smokers i'll the selection. We see them in
every style and shape-the fancy, the gro
tesque-some carved and highly orna-
mented, while others are in the most hid
eous shape possible. By the following,
from the COurier-JournaL, it will be seen
that the cob pipe business is becoming one
of the industries of that city, and we eX-
pect cob pipes will become the rage soon: :
"a Fourth street establishment is man
ufacturing cob pipes in large quantities, to
supply the demand of the Northern mar
ket. Yesterday he had just sent away
several gross to New York City. The ar
lists engaged in their manufacture talk
learnedly of the nature of cobs, and are
busy in devising some plan to make the
stem of cob continuous with the pipe.
The cobs have been hitherto found too
brittle, though scientific means have been
used to make them pliable enough to bear
the bending necessary. AS simple as it
may seem, such a pipe has never been
made, and the novelty would certainly re-
vive the good old fashion of cob-pipe
smoking. That the cob pipe has great
merits is the faith of every unperverted
Kentuckian. 1t was the only pipe that
General Jackson would USE"

GRANT AS A GENTLEMAN.-The ar
ticle "Poitics of Women in the August
number of Lippincott has this:
The best bred men in America are the
officers of the regular army and navy.
They have been taught to look up, to re-
verence authority, and to be respectful. 1t
never leaves them they become the most
dignfied and most simple men in the COM
munity. Our chief magistrate is very
CONSPICUOUS example of this. Bred soldier,
raised by a most extraordinary series of
events to our republican throne, and hav-
ing to contend with an invincible shyness,
it is only fair to say that our President has
the best manners in the world. Never too
cordial always sufficiently so, never for
getting his station, and yet never obstruct-
ing it, it would be difficult to find a man
who has committed fewer sOlecism, or who
has made more people happy by his unaf-
fected and simple greeting than President
Grant; and yet he is man who has pro-
baby never thought twice on the subject
in his life. His manners are the outcrOp-
ping of a training in a school which has
produced the perfection of manners.

To CAN PEACHES AND OTHER FRUITS.
Allow half a pound of sugar, or less, to
one pound of peaches. Make a sirup OF
the sugar, by adding a pint of water to a
pound of sugar, and boiling for a time.
Pare and halve the peaches; drop them
into the strip and boil for ten minutes:
Put into the cans-glass ones-and seal
tightly. Any other kind of fruit may be
preserved in the same manner. They will
keep equally we'll without sugar, but it is
usually quite as convenient to add the SUI
gar when canned. Some add few peach
kernels, blanched. For convenience sake,
and safety's sake, place the can, being fill
ed with hot fruit, on wet napkin or tow
ell, folded number of times. Some varie-
ties of pears require longer cooking, while
some other varieties of fruit need less.
The cans should be filled to the top.

Picked CUCUMBERs.-A correspondent
of the Vermont Farmer says: "To have
good pickles and have them keep, the GU
cunbers should be picked very small.
Over peck of cucumbers scatter pint of
coarse salt, then cover them with boiling
water, put grape leaves over them and
cover closely; let them stand until cold.
Do this three times, putting on boiling hot
vinegar instead of hot water; put in a
cloth bag teaspoonful of each of CHINA
mon. alspice, ginger, cloves and pepper,
also a little mace, and put in with the
pickles. Cover with grape leaves and COW
er the Jar tIghtlY.n

THE ESSEX HOG IN THE SOUTH.-S. J.
Mathews, Monticello, Ark, discussing in
theISouthern CultiUator 1.-THE best breed of
hogs for the South" says: ''If one is will
ing to give his hogs reasonably good care,
and wants to make the best pork and lard
from given amount of feed, wants hog
that is prolific, healthy and of early matu-
deed that with good treatment is all the
time fat; there is none so far as my ex-
perience, observation or belief goes that
excels the Essex. Perhaps the Improved
Berkshire is as good, butt cannot conceive
in what respect it can be better.

PEACH MARMALADE.-Boil two pounds
of peaches for minute; take off and drop
them in cold water. Drain, skin and re-
move the stones atonce. Crack two-thirds
of the stones, bleach the meats, and cut
the kernels in lengthwise strips. Lay the
peaches in a pan with pound and half
of sugar set on the fire and boil twenty
minutes. A few minutes before removing
add the sliced kernels. Turn in pots or
jars as soon as taken from the fire. When
cold, cover well and place in a cool, dry
place. Proceed the same with plums. For
pears or ounces, pare and core and use
sweet almonds in lieu of kernels.

SORGHUM IN THE SoUTH.-A writer at
Charleston, S. c., says: LET sorghum
mice, sorghum cane and sorghum mills go
to-the Yankees! No plant ever tried so
impoverished the soil and in most coun-
ties YOU can find one or more handles
girls or boys whose limbs have been mutt
lated by the mills, and in return for all
this, we have a few tub-fulls of foul, I'M

A poor Arab, going Il rough the

Accustomed to brackish water, a
draught from this sweet well in the
wilderness, seemed to his present
mind, a present fit tor the Calipb

after d weary tramp, laid the hum
ble gift at the feet of his sovereign.
The monarch, with the magnaffitn-
ity that may put many christian
to blush. called for cup, and fill
ing it, drank freely, and with a
smile thanked the Arab and pre-
scented him with a reward. The
courtiers pressed eagerly around
for a dranght of the wonderful wa
ter, which was regarded as worthy
of such princely acknowledgement.
To their surprise, the Caliph for
bade them to touch drop. Then
after the simple hearted giver left
the royal presence, with a new JOY
yelling up in his heart, the mon
arch thus explained the motive for
his prohibition; During his long
Journey, the water in this leather
bottle has become impure and dis

USEFUL HINTs.--The New Or
leans Picayune tells the story of Q
printer, who, when his fellow work
men went out to drink beer, during
the morning hours, he put in the
bank the exact amount which he
would have spent If lie had gone ont
to drink. He kept this resolution
for five years. He then examined
his bank account and found that
he had on deposit 1921 So. In
the five years he had not lost day
from i'll. health, Three out Of five
of his fellow-workmen had, in the
meantime, become drunkards, were
worthless as workmen, and were
discharged. The water-drinker then
bought out the printing office, went
on enlarging bis business, and in
twenty years from the time he be-
gan to put away his money
he was worth 100000. Tho story,
whether new or old, teaches 2 les
son which every young mechanic
should lay TO heart.

Every woman is wise enough and
careful enough to secure for her
house. plants every bit Of available
sunshine during the cold winter
months. Great pains are taken to
get a southern exposure for them.
Indeed, if one can secure no other
than a north window for her plants
she has too much love for these i'm.
conscious, inanimate things to
keep them at all. She would rather
leave them out in the t6ld to die
outright, than linger out a martyr
existence in the shade.
Folks need sunshine quite as
much as plants do. Men and
women who have Il fair degree Of
strength, and the use of their legs,
can get glimpse of the sun now
and then, and if they choose to do
so, let them live in rooms with
only one exposure; but ifpossible,
let us secure rooms IN WHICH every
raw of sunshine that falls in winter
may enter for the little babies who
are shut up IN the house, intalids
who can not leave their rooms,
and aged people who are too in-
firm to get out Of doors.
Let us reflect for mofbent that
these classes of persons if kept in
rooms with only north windows
will suffer just as much from the abb
sence of sunshine, as green grow
ing plants would do in the Same
no oms, and their suffering is of ac.
count in proportion as human be-
ing is better than a ge-aniun or
fuchsia. Every body knows how
a bright sunny day in winter glad
dens every one who is situated so
as to enjoy it. Let us make some
sacrifice if need be, in order to give
the feeble ones their measure Of
sunshine. -Lags Of Life.

- Old Capt. --. of Stotiing'
tou, relates the following remarka-
Bile incident that occurred while on
the passage from New York some
years ago. He observed one sum-
mer afternoon a heavy cloud arise
from the land, and to his great SUR
prise approach the vessel. Sud-
denly it broke near him, and mil.
lions of mosquitoes covered the
deck of the vessel to the depth Of
several inches, while part of the
flock went through the malhsail,
leaving nothing but the bolt ropes
idly hanging to the spars. Corrob-
orative evidence to this astonish-
ing tale was found in the person Of
a "down East skipper" who heard
the story, and who, on comparing
dates with the narrator, declared
that two days afterward he was
boarded by a part Of the same
flock and they all wore canvass
breeches.
